Arturia: Liquid Courage! I'm Going to Pin You Against the Wall! / The Girls: This Is a Trial!

At night, the flickering firelight ten kilometers away made the Black Snake Lady feel somewhat disoriented.

She observed it closely through her binoculars; it was a kind of firelight that many Mobile City didn't have.

Although the houses were mostly two or three stories high, the fires were still burning even around 7:00 p. m., which meant they didn't lack fuel.

Moreover, colored lights are not uncommon; are they watching something called television?

This is a rare find even in Saint-Junburg, and only those of minor nobility or higher are entitled to enjoy it.

The infrastructure is perfect, the roads are smooth and free of snow, and the power lines are neatly arranged.

In contrast, here at home, there is almost nothing but a vast expanse of white puddles and a dry forest.

"Master, it's cold outside, and the heating equipment is quite far from us," a Snake Scales reminded us.

The heating equipment... it sounds so high-tech, but it's really just a big fireplace.

Lady Black Snake gazed at the fireplace burning wood against the wall, and reluctantly left the balcony to prevent her health from collapsing.

The castle was so big, but there was only one small corner where you could keep warm.

Chapter 727 Arturo: Alcohol emboldens the coward, I'm going to wall-slam you!

The morning after Ms. Black Snake returned home, there were no mountains of documents, and no oppressive freezing rain.

All that remained was the endless expanse of heavy snow on the horizon and the eerily silent forest.

A week's short vacation is certainly not enough to make up for the losses that Ms. Black Snake has suffered from overwork and illness over the past few years.

It's just to prolong the life of this body.

Black Serpent hadn't expected Ursus to collapse so quickly, and she now had almost no interest in dealing with Talulah's affairs.

This body's physical strength was in no way inferior to Talulah's, but it couldn't withstand such high-intensity work.

Things happened so fast that she wasn't prepared at all.

The main purpose of this body was to seduce Master Huang.

However, the grass didn't bite the hook, which lowered his impression of the guy, and they didn't have any contact for ten years.

In Black Serpent Lady's heart, the lord of Utopia, though an enemy, was also a good friend with whom she could genuinely communicate.

At least in Master Huang's conquests and wars, he basically does things openly, though he also uses intrigue and trickery. But everyone who falls into his trap always admits defeat wholeheartedly.

Instead of engaging in almost pointless pranks like the Ursus Nobles.

Aside from making me feel a little uncomfortable, it has hindered the development of the entire country.

It has absolutely no meaning whatsoever.

This is such a narrow-minded thing to do. Ms. Black Snake couldn't understand why these people would do such a thing.

After a quick breakfast, I had my staff make a constant-temperature hot water bottle and placed it on my lower abdomen.

It hurts. Those spoiled nobles actually changed the IV fluids they were given a few days ago. They should have used that energy to keep an eye on the Utopia army.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time; otherwise, surgery would have been necessary, and I would have been unable to work for at least a month.

Who knows what kind of terrible things the Ursus nobles will do to themselves a month from now?

So she can't stop for a moment; a week's rest is already her limit.

But if possible, Ms. Black Serpent wants to keep this body as healthy as possible.

Because this is the only good body she can currently use, and it is also the first physical body she has ever had.

Gazing at the distant territory belonging to Utopia, Lady Black Snake suddenly had a brilliant idea.

Since Ursus can't cure his chronic illness, perhaps Utopia can. Even if it can't, it's worth a visit.

Utopia does not refuse Ursus people who come to it, provided that you have the ability to get there and whether you can bring your family.

The rules for seeking refuge in Utopia are detailed: the whole family must come together; it's acceptable if someone dies on the way, as long as it's not intentional.

At the same time, an investigation will be conducted. If it is found that the person has abandoned his wife and children, committed a crime, and is trying to flee here to hide, then the investigation will be conducted.

If it's a truly heinous villain, then sorry, just drag him out and hang him, no explanation needed.

We don't want criminals, we want truly kind people.

Otherwise, this area could easily become an alternate world version of Florida.

Lady Black Snake was well aware of Master Huang's plans, but she had never had the chance to go to Utopia to learn about them.

Anyway, I have less than five days of vacation left, so I'll find a chance to go and take a look.

So, Ms. Black Snake submitted her access request according to procedure. If she wasn't granted permission, she would have to resort to some underhanded tactics to sneak in.

At this moment, in the corridor in front of the Rhodes Island office.

Master Huang is currently being entangled by a certain cunning, long-haired, black-haired angel.

He glanced at the message quickly and clicked "accept." His own base was already guarded by Hundred Battles Abundance Warrior, so the Black Serpent couldn't cause any trouble. Besides, there were teleportation portals everywhere.

If Black Snake really wanted to cause trouble, he wouldn't have submitted an application in the first place; he would have sneaked in long ago.

"Mr. Huang, please don't get distracted while you're talking to such an elegant lady."

A fragrant breeze wafted over, and Arturo pinned Master Huang against the wall, even though the latter was considerably taller than the angel.

However, Arturo's proportions are equally impressive. Although he is not as tall as Master Huang, he looks very tall overall.

Especially after switching to the original skin from the storyline, the barely visible "absolute territory" brings endless surprises to Master Huang!

"Miss Arturo, you're drunk."

Huang Cao keenly sensed the faint smell of alcohol emanating from Arturo and reached out to help him sober up, but the other man quickly shook his head.

"Only with this in mind can I be a little bolder. You still owe me a promise. As the saying goes, alcohol emboldens the timid. I need to think carefully about what I really want."

"I can resurrect your mother."

"Heh..." Arturo chuckled softly, his gaze becoming even more aggressive.

"Today I'll be your secretary!"

Huang Cao placed her hands on Arturo's beautiful shoulders, her tone earnest:

"You little drunkard, how can you be my secretary? You'd probably write two lines of text out of every single line of a document you read."

"Then I'll play the violin for you," Arturo said, blowing a breath of wine-scented air into Master Huang's ear.

Unfortunately, they encountered an iron will.

Huang Cao simply put his hands on Arturo's waist and lifted her up like a child.

"So you wanted me to stay on the ground... Mr. Huang is truly powerful."

"Are you talking about my strength? You're a woman who can harvest countless acres of wheat; you could probably lift me up with one hand."

The two were clearly not on the same wavelength; Huang Cao had plenty of experience dealing with drunkards.

There are quite a few people in the family who drink alcohol, and both Shu and Xi will have a little bit. Under the influence of alcohol, they will do some bolder things than before.

But Arturo was just a "girl" in her twenties in front of him.

Coupled with her petite stature, isn't she the kind of person who needs to be carefully protected by adults?

Perhaps he had drunk a little too much wine, for Arturo leaned on his beloved's shoulder and let him put him on the office sofa.

She fell asleep not long after.

"Well, drinking so early in the morning, it seems Arturo has been under a lot of pressure these past few years."

Huang Cao sighed inwardly several times, silently raising the bar for Arturo's future treatment in Utopia.

Without Arturo, Utopia's conquest of Lateran would have been delayed by at least several years, because her Originium Arts were far too convenient.

Lateran is now in chaos, both internally and externally, with protesters everywhere.

The Education Bureau finally noticed something was wrong; races that shouldn't have halos were now sporting them.

And this isn't just a simple special effect; it has the same functionality as Sarkaz.

The Lateran aura makes it impossible for the army to suppress them by force; at most, they can only beat them with batons. If they accidentally kill someone, they will fall from grace.

This is more painful than killing them.

Therefore, suppression has no deterrent effect, and changes in social thought will also affect the military.

There are many Liberi in Lateran's army, and they are similarly isolated by the Sarkaz culture.

Chapter 728 The Women: This is a Trial!

A month after Rhodes Island arrived in Lateran, the unexpected finally happened.

"Your Holiness, please abdicate. This is God's choice."

"So this day has finally come? And who will succeed me? Will it be the lord of Utopia?"

"It's Ms. Arturo."

"Arturo... so it was her. Well, the die is cast, I can only surrender."

Pope Evangelista XI placed his musket on the table and raised his hands.

"Will there be my favorite cactus tarts in prison?"

The detained pope asked.

But to everyone's surprise, the Lateran standing nearby said, "Who would eat such utterly boring stuff?"

The Pope's face fell, and he let out a mournful cry, "Oh, this is so heartbreaking for me, I'm afraid my life is over..."

After the collapse of the highest level of authority, the Utopian fleet encountered almost no resistance when it entered Lateran.

Because everyone knows it's over.

Utopia also took over the country's power according to procedure, and policies such as social welfare and cultural education were all implemented on the same day.

Utopia never makes empty promises, because language without a material foundation is always pale and powerless.

This is the fundamental reason why Utopia has been able to conquer a country so easily every time.

We came not to conquer, but for beauty.

Although the methods used are theoretically uncivilized, it doesn't matter; Huang Cao never claims to be a saint.

Anyone who objects should be dragged out and beheaded. I may have flaws, but I just want to do whatever I want.

Those who plot to drag Utopia into endless wrangling through moral blackmail should just give up and go to sleep.

History has no right to judge right and wrong, merits and demerits, because Huang Cao himself is history.

Huang Cao: Write, died in war, the lord of Utopia is the murderer!

Historian: He died of disease!

Huang Cao: If you don't write, I'll kill you!

Historian: Historians always record things truthfully, without altering a single word!

While the above scenario is somewhat exaggerated, it's not impossible that it might actually happen if it were to be written in the future.

When a person's strengths are so dazzling, minor mistakes will be overshadowed by that brilliance, not to mention when that brilliance can also be harmful.

Since you are unwilling to let the lord have any dignity, then I will help you to have dignity.

"Let's stay in Lateran for a while. This country can be considered an experimental sample, after all, I've never taken over a country that's entirely religious before."

Master Huang is preparing to put it into practice, and who knows what situations might arise in the future? Lateran is a very good experimental sample.

For people of faith, spiritual needs can truly outweigh physical desires; this point is beyond doubt.

Some people dedicate their entire lives to the church, even if it means starving to death, they will donate their last penny to the church; their spirit overcomes their physical desires.

But before that, let's prepare for tonight's special meeting.

After the Black and White Empresses and the Lord of Utopia were officially announced, the two officially moved to Rhodes Island and also moved Leithanian's administrative system over.

When tired or sleepy, just go to your master to replenish your energy. After eating your fill, you can work again, doubling your efficiency.
