In the Name of Empress

Alina's father once established a social experiment zone on the South Coast Region of Jin Yuan Kingdom, conducting experiments with over five hundred Sea Demons and more than a thousand Fishman.

He collected a lot of data and compiled related works.

"Unfortunately, the confidentiality level of these materials is very high, and I have never accessed them."

Seeing the look of regret on Alina's face, Roland decided to skip this topic that could easily lead her to unpleasant associations.

"Since you have some knowledge about these sea creatures, spend some time managing them after we go ashore."

"You also want to observe them?"

A little surprised, Alina still showed a look of regret after understanding Roland's intention.

"Unfortunately, there are too few samples."

"It doesn't matter, we can fish." Roland shared the "Fishing Plan" with Alina and asked her about the feasibility of the plan.

Alina looked at Roland with complex eyes, and after a long time, she slowly said:

"Is this really your first encounter with Sea Demons? Your understanding of them is... quite unique. Rest assured, the second fishing attempt may not succeed, but the first one definitely will."

Although Alina's understanding of Sea Demons and Fishman is far inferior to her father's, it is more than Roland's.

She slightly organized her thoughts and shared what she knew with Roland.

Roland roughly verified the information obtained from Munina, only having slightly underestimated Munina's self-praise filter.

According to Alina, the total population of Sea Demons and Fishman is about three million, with approximately three hundred thousand being slave owners and free Sea Demons, and the rest being low-tier Fishman and slaves.

"Your judgment is already quite accurate, it's just that the little Sea Demon's head isn't very clear. Later, I'll have a good talk with her, hoping for something new."

Seeing Alina finally find something to do, preventing her from being too idle, Roland naturally wouldn't oppose.

"Alina, you are completely free to act, you don't have to report everything."

"Please call me Miss Fuchou."

"Alright, Miss Fuchou."

Watching Roland leave, Alina sighed softly, her expression becoming increasingly complex.

It was apparent that Roland didn't like the title of revenge.

In fact, she didn't like it either.

Roland calling her by her real name instead of her code name was a reminder that life cannot just be about revenge.

If it's only about revenge, after the revenge, one would feel extraordinarily empty.

She certainly understood this principle.

But before reverting to her real name Alina, she would have no thought other than revenge.

The future life should be left to the future Alina to worry about.

Now, she bore the code name Miss Fuchou, the faceless person hiding in the shadows.

Alina stood up, thinking of Roland's second step of the fishing plan, feeling a slight chill down her spine.

Though Roland always maintained a friendly smile among friends, his methods toward enemies were especially fierce and even cruel.

Luckily, he was a friend.

With a soft swipe of her pale hand across her face, Alina donned a new visage.

Today, Miss Fuchou also had a brand new appearance, a brand new mood.

She walked out with big strides.

Staying cooped up at the bottom of the ship was indeed somewhat suffocating; she was going to chat with the sea creatures.

These guys were still not obedient even when on the brink of a boiling pot.

She didn't believe that Munina, the daughter of the patriarch, couldn't even count.

If Munina didn't understand mathematics, she would start over with serious teaching.

For some reason, thinking of Roland's second step of the fishing plan, recalling his confident smile, Alina inexplicably developed an illusion that her revenge was not a fantasy, but really possible?

She laughed self-deprecatingly, extinguishing the fantasy.

Don't fantasize, Miss Fuchou.

Roland is willing to help Sif because he can gain huge benefits from her.

Is there any advantage in helping her?

Sif is the legitimate Emperor, with considerable charisma; supporting her to consolidate power is not difficult.

But she is a traitor wanted by the Jin Yuan Kingdom; even if Roland is willing to help her, completing her revenge probably requires a long time.

Observing Roland's fate trajectory seriously, quickly advancing to Tier Seven, and returning to Freedom City to kill all her enemies might be a more feasible plan.

Killing is easy, but trying to leave completely unscathed is a bit rude.

But she doesn't care.

She owes this world nothing, just owes Roland two ship tickets and one train ticket.

Before plunging into the fire like a moth, she has to repay the favor.

Entering this world cleanly, she also doesn't want to owe anything when leaving.

Alina presented Roland's token and took over the cell holding the sea creatures from the guards.

The game of truth or dare officially begins.

...

At noon, the fleet docked.

The Emre Port pier was very lively.

All the military and political officials from the Three Overseas Provinces were present to welcome the Empress.

Sif reached a tacit understanding with the Cabinet, using formal authorization to leave members of the Imperial Family to monitor the country in exchange for the right of free action overseas.

The Cabinet reciprocated, formally notifying the Three Overseas Provinces to fully cooperate with the Empress's inspection tour, with the specific time limit depending on the Empress's mood.

The Three Provinces, like Hansa, were isolated overseas; although each province has a considerable area and a large population, order is extremely chaotic, and even basic tax collection cannot be ensured.

The greatest significance of the Three Provinces' existence is simply to exist.

With these three provinces, Sussex has a stance to continually meddle in Rodinia Continent's affairs.

The Brook Province, covering an area of about 310,000 square kilometers with a population of over 3.3 million, is a renowned coal and iron mining site, with the capital being Brookberg.

The Selin Province, covering an area of about 160,000 square kilometers with a population of over 1.9 million, has an economy focused on international trade, with the capital being Selinix.

Hansa Province is the largest, covering about 390,000 square kilometers with a population close to six million, the economy is primarily textile industry, processing, and shipbuilding industry, and is a renowned industrial zone on Rodinia Continent. The capital, Hamberg, is a famous commercial and industrial city in the central-western part of Rodinia Continent.
