Chapter 94: Perfect Intelligence – Enchanting Stockings and Banner
With High-level Attendant Chief Hilude absent from the territory, Su Li lets Philis temporarily take over the position.
Su Li then happily rests his head on Ingrid's beautiful legs as he begins to review the new day's daily intelligence reports.
Having spent a considerable time with these female courtiers, Su Li has gained a very deep understanding of them.
For example, Ingrid, although this witch is the coldest, her heart is actually the softest.
Not only can she not refuse Su Li's requests, but in Su Li's constant praise of her, she loses herself and agrees to one humiliating request after another.
This makes Su Li adore her endlessly, wishing he could blend her into his chest, pampering her all the time.
But it also leads to Philis and Avril harboring hostility towards her, seeing this witch as the embodiment of evil, shamelessly seducing the Lord.
When Hilude was present, she could mediate between them.
But in Hilude's absence, their differences have grown, and there is now a palpable sense of rejection and hostility.
Usually, Philis and Avril stay at the manor, while Ingrid stays under the Holy Purple Vine Tree.
The reason they can barely maintain a harmonious situation is entirely because Ingrid is rather reclusive, able to go a day and night without speaking a single word to the two female knights.
Sometimes Su Li also feels troubled; this kind of jealousy and rivalry is unavoidable among the female courtiers.
They have no major disputes, just disapprove of each other's behavior.
And Su Li finds it difficult to show bias, as he enjoys both Ingrid's responsiveness to his needs and Philis's singing and dancing for him.
Both women go out of their way to please him; he doesn't want to break anyone's heart.
As he ponders how to mediate the conflicts among these women, the details of the daily intelligence reports fully unfold.
Su Li also holds some expectation, wondering if this intelligence system might offer him some insight on how to resolve the women's disputes.
[Due to your current relaxed state, today's Prophet information has been updated.]
[1: The massive waaagh initiated by the green-skinned warlord Geba achieved an unprecedented victory in the Sulande Province, and his bloody acts greatly inspired the Green Skins. In the battle of the Sulan Plain, Geba, with his axe, single-handedly routed a human legion, and after beheading the Female Prince of Sulande, attracted a multitude of tough warriors to join his waaagh. They plunder everyone they meet, sparing neither a gold ingot, a coin, nor even a grain of ore. The Green Skin Legion will besiege the provincial capital Averheim of Sulande Province, and the wicked Two-legged Flying Dragon has even rushed into the Elector's palace, nesting in the throne room with banners and tapestries.]
[2: The Dark Night Slave Capture Team from the Gray Market Chamber of Commerce will visit Hesse Town today. Among the slaves they bring is a bearded human, Sheriff Galovici from the Ice and Snow Kingdom of Kislev, who has a natural affinity for alcohol, mathematics, industry, and machinery. Although his abilities are relatively modest, he could greatly enhance your territory's industry. As Minister of Industry, he can make serfs more diligent, significantly advancing the territory's industrial progression, and harmonizing relations with the dwarves, thereby increasing the success rate of dwarf-made industrial products.]
[3: The Demon Army in the Gray Mountain Range is completing its integration, having already overrun numerous mountain tribes and dwarf outposts. Blood-soaked skulls have been forged into dreadful shrines offered to the Throne of Khorne. The Demon Legion's renown echoes throughout the province of the Gray Mountain Range; should you lead an army in time to decimate this Demon Legion, you'll earn the title of Blood Red Tyrant Heisen, significantly boosting Hesse Territory's reputation, attracting more trade convoys and immigrants to arrive.]
[4: With the coming of the sowing season, the Dawn Goddess's Divine Power Tide has reached a new peak. In the new cycle, planting wheat, beets, and cotton will yield bountiful harvests, while planting rapeseed, soybeans, and pumpkins will result in an exceedingly rich harvest.]
...
[7: The clearing of monsters on the west side of the Blood Pine Forest has created a power vacuum in this direction. A massive Puma will appear here and advance toward the western plain. These ugly monsters usually hide in darkness, waiting for their prey to arrive, attacking with lethal antlers, primitive fangs, lion-like claws, and huge wings, giving prey little chance to escape. Now it has arrived on the banks of the Brienne River, providing a perfect opportunity for you to strike it down. Its flesh can slightly enhance Wood Attribute Knights and Druids and accelerate the growth of Griffins and Half Griffins.]
[8: At the southwestern edge of the territory, a power void has appeared among the Pioneer Lord's power center. A group of Brass Sisterhood members is secretly gathering, planning to massacre a large number of Beastmen to awaken the statue of the Blood God and summon a Blood Army. They are still very weak now, allowing you to promptly eliminate them, seize the Blood God's statue, and offer it to any Divine Spirit for Divine Grace and blessing.]
[9: The vast plains of the Hesse Mountain foothills are renowned throughout the Border Prince's Territory, especially the Central Plains with their extensive farmlands, dotted with knight castles and manors. The land is fertile, the climate is mild, and few monsters lurk in the flat fields. The Brotherhoods in Marle Castle cast covetous eyes here; if you issue a recruitment and land cultivation order, members of the Lighthouse Brotherhood would be attracted to visit, willing to serve as your stewards and manage your city's tax revenue.]
[10: An area of hot springs has appeared in the eastern mountainous region of the Emerald Valley in Hesse Territory. The spring water here has effects of purification, stamina recovery, and disease healing. Developing a hot spring bath here would attract nobles, knights, and wounded and sick individuals from surrounding areas for healing and vacation, enhancing the territory's reputation.]
After reading today's daily intelligence, Su Li stretches contentedly: "Ah~ this life is truly perfect."
If only every day had this kind of intelligence, filled with opportunities.
Even if there's a bit of crisis, he can easily solve it.
Crisis like demons and green dragons are too overwhelming, making him very uneasy, he really dislikes them.
And today's life is just what he likes; full of motivation to run the farm, ample leisure to gather adventures and wealth around him.
This is the life of a Lord.
Ingrid looked down at Su Li, who was resting his head on her beautiful legs, and asked, "Are you in a good mood?"
Su Li looked up at Ingrid's exquisite face. From this angle, it could be a deadly view, easily seeing a woman's broad face and double chin.
But Ingrid's cold and exquisite features were impeccable and stunning, even from this angle, she was so perfectly flawless, pure, and elegant.
So Su Li smiled, reached out to stroke her cool beautiful legs, and said, "Of course, with a peerless beauty like you by my side, how could I not be in a good mood? Seeing your gorgeous face first thing when I open my eyes dooms my day to be a good one."
Ingrid's cold eyes quietly looked at him, like a clear cold spring. After a moment, her delicate face blossomed into a gentle smile, like a snow lotus blooming quietly on the snowy plains, pure but not losing warmth, suddenly making the whole world bright and gentle.
"I can make you happier."
Looking at her slightly parted cherry lips, Su Li couldn't resist getting up, holding her slender shoulders, kissed her cool lips, and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Ingrid waited quietly for him to finish kissing, then looked at him with cold eyes and said, "Not in that way."
"Then what is it?" Su Li looked at her graceful face, and she indeed didn't seem to be joking, which really piqued his curiosity.
A reclusive witch, almost isolated from the knights of the territory in farming, production, and strengthening, what could she have to make him happier?
Ingrid turned around and took out two pairs of ultra-light, delicate stockings from under the pillow, then stretched out her long beautiful legs and slowly slid these extremely alluring white stockings onto her legs in front of Su Li, disappearing into the depths of her magic robe.
Watching this, Su Li couldn't help his throat moving, blood boiling!
Those stockings were truly perfect, ultra-thin and ultra-sexy, shaping Ingrid's beautiful legs to glow in the dawn, making her leg shape perfect beyond imagination.
Su Li couldn't help but jump onto her, hugging her slim waist while stroking her smooth beautiful legs clad in stockings.
It felt like a fire was burning inside his chest as he excitedly asked, "My darling, didn't you say it wasn't about this?"
Ingrid propped her arms behind her, keeping herself from falling. This posture made her chest exceptionally towering and alluring, but her face remained extremely cold as she faintly said, "That's right. This is my reward, you have no objection, right?"
"Reward?" Su Li immediately realized, joyfully asking, "Made with Anaric giant spider's silk fibers??"
"That's right." Ingrid, supporting her body with her left arm, reached with her right hand from under the pillow, and a magnificent vermilion banner rose with the wind, its gold-embroidered emblem shining brightly in the dawn!
When the red banner slowly fell, spreading across the scene, Su Li finally saw the appearance of this luxurious red banner, it was the emblem of the Bauhinia family!
But he had never seen such a luxurious flag; this banner was like burning flames, enthusiastic yet solemn. It fell slowly, and even the folds on the flag were smooth and beautiful, showcasing nobility's elegance and extraordinary grace.
The edge of the banner was adorned with intricate patterns, and in the center, the family's bauhinia emblem was embroidered with golden thread, beneath which intersected a sharp sword and a warhammer. Every stitch and thread revealed exquisite craftsmanship and detail.
This was precisely the family banner that Su Li had entrusted Ingrid to make, using the silk of the Anaric giant spider.
Since Ingrid moved into the manor, every time Su Li accompanied her under the Holy Purple Vine Tree, she would accompany Su Li in trying various ideas.
Su Li nearly forgot this matter, not expecting Ingrid to quietly complete it all on her own!
She even used the remaining materials to make a pair of incredibly beautiful and tempting stockings.
Su Li decisively kissed her cherry lips passionately, until a blush appeared on the face of the cold witch, he then smiled and said, "Of course, I have no objections. My darling, you deserve all this!"
"Tell me, what effect does this banner have?"
"It is engraved with the Dwarf's battle banner runes, including the Fear Rune and the Holy Rune."
