This kiss was destined to be short-lived because Fire Phoenix's footsteps were already approaching. Han Shuo only tasted it lightly and didn't delve into Helen's fragrance.
While Helen was still wondering why Han Shuo had suddenly stopped being so greedy, she also heard Fire Phoenix's voice. Helen raised her head to look at Han Shuo with watery eyes and immediately understood that it wasn't that Han Shuo had stopped being greedy, but rather that Fire Phoenix had already arrived.
Han Shuo had already entered the inner room to sip tea before Fire Phoenix had entered. This time, apart from Fabian, there were also a few merchants from the Lancelot Empire who had come to Helon City. Although these merchants were on very good terms with the Boozt Merchant Guild, Han Shuo still wouldn't let them discover his relationship with Helen.
Even Fabian didn't know the exact situation. He had only come because he heard from Dick that this trip was safe. Fabian was loyal and devoted to Phoebe. Although his relationship with Han Shuo was also very good, Phoebe was Fabian's true master. If it were any other matter, Fabian might have always been on Han Shuo's side. However, when he discovered that Han Shuo had another woman named Helen, Han Shuo couldn't predict his actions.
If Fabian had honestly and selflessly reported Han Shuo's lustful behavior to Phoebe, with that jealous nature of Phoebe's, who knew what kind of storm would have arisen.
When Fire Phoenix brought Fabian and a few other merchants from the Lancelot Empire in, she only needed a glance to see the bashful sweetness on Helen's face that hadn't yet faded. Fire Phoenix's subconscious pouting made Fire Phoenix's thoughts wander even more, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Helen.
Helen was a bit embarrassed. She coughed lightly to cover it up, cursing Han Shuo in her heart. She then smiled at Fabian and the other merchants from the Lancelot Empire and said, "Welcome everyone to our Helon Duchy. I believe that everyone already knew what we were going to talk about before entering this room."
Fabian only knew from Dick that Helen, the Duke of Helon Duchy, wanted to conduct some secret transactions with their company. With Fabian's keen sense as a merchant, he immediately smelled the thick scent of gold coins from this invitation. As the person in charge of the Helon Duchy, Grand Duke Helen currently had a hundred percent control over the entire Helon Duchy. With such a character taking the initiative to invite them, any merchant guild that came would be able to obtain generous benefits.
Nodding his head with a slight smile, Fabian respectfully saluted before saying, "Of course, our Boozt Merchant Guild can provide you with everything that your Helon Duchy needs. In addition, we will also purchase some of your Helon Duchy's goods at a reasonable price. This will definitely be a transaction that will benefit both parties."
While Helen and Fabian were talking, a guard's report came in from outside, "Your Lordship, they've arrived."
"Let them come in." Helen commanded gracefully and elegantly.
Afterwards, a group of seven people walked in. Judging from their auras, they were somewhat similar to Fabian and the others. Each of them had a slightly plump build, and their eyes sparkled with the cunning of a scramble for fame and profit.
"Greetings to the Grand Duke!" After the group of seven entered, each of their expressions were more respectful than the other. After experiencing this bloody purge, it would be difficult to find any nobles in the Helon Duchy who dared to rebel against Helen's position. Helen's viciousness had also been widely spread among the nobles and merchants, causing these merchants to tremble with fear.
"Mm, rise!" Helen shouted in a tender voice, then introduced them to Fabian, "These are the merchants of our Helon Duchy. In the future, all transactions between the Helon Duchy and you will be completed by you alone. However, you can rest assured that in the future, within the borders of the Helon Duchy, all of you will definitely be guaranteed. "
"Thank you, Your Lordship. This kind of transaction that benefits both of us will definitely satisfy all of us." Fabian said with a relaxed smile.
Helen nodded and said, "Today, I will only introduce both of you to each other so that you can rest assured that the transaction between you two will be under my protection. Mm, alright, you can find a place to discuss the specific details. My request is that you don't let anyone know about the transaction between you two. The more secretive, the better."
"Your Lordship can rest assured, we know what to do!" Fabian and the merchants of the Helon Duchy answered together, their hearts bright as snow. Afterwards, under Helen's signal, they left the place. These merchants began to discuss the details of the transaction on the road.
After Fabian and the others left, Han Shuo walked out from inside and said to Helen, "I think that with the merchants of the Lancelot Empire, some of your goods will no longer have to pass through the Narsen Duchy in the future. The Brut Merchant Alliance and your Helon Duchy are too far apart, and there's also Benedict Sackville in the middle. Instead of trading with them, it would be better to cooperate with Fabian and the others."
"You were so enthusiastic to bring these merchants here. Isn't it because you have taken a fancy to our Helon Duchy's valiant warhorses?" Helen glanced at Han Shuo, who had just walked out from the inner room, and said with a snort.
After hearing Helen's words, Han Shuo laughed dryly and said, "This is originally a mutually beneficial transaction. You and I can both benefit from it."
After pausing for a moment, Han Shuo said, "Alright, the seeds of internal strife in your Helon Duchy can be considered to have been uprooted. I think it's time for me to leave the Helon Duchy."
"Ah, you're leaving so soon?" A sense of loss suddenly rose in Helen's heart. She said to Han Shuo, "There are many wonders in the Helon Duchy that are worth exploring. How about I personally take you on a tour? In any case, I don't have much official business to attend to during this period of time."
When she heard that Han Shuo was leaving, Helen was somewhat reluctant to part with him. She wanted Han Shuo to stay in the Helon Duchy for a while longer, so she couldn't help but suggest this.
Han Shuo laughed involuntarily and said, "Do I look like such an elegant person to you?"
Helen's expression darkened. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said in a low voice, "You've only been in Helon City for less than a day, yet you're leaving so soon. Can't you stay with me for a few days?"
Helen's slender, shapely eyebrows slightly knitted, her eyes filled with loss and sadness. She understood that a person like Han Shuo wouldn't be tied down by a woman. However, for some reason, she couldn't help but miss Han Shuo during these few days that he was away. Now that Han Shuo had finally arrived, she naturally didn't want Han Shuo to leave immediately.
Han Shuo silently looked at Helen, the corners of his mouth gradually overflowing with a smile. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "If I were to stay for a few days, I wouldn't be able to guarantee that you would continue to maintain your holy and pure appearance in the Helon Duchy."
"Cough cough …" Huo Feng dryly coughed twice. When Han Shuo and the blushing Helen turned their attention to her, she opened her mouth and said, "I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first!"
Without waiting for Han Shuo and Helen to speak, Huo Feng stomped her feet and directly walked towards the door, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye. Her departure was really neat.
Helen bitterly glared at Han Shuo and rebuked, "It's all your fault. How could you say such things in front of Sister Huo Feng!"
Shrugging his shoulders, Han Shuo calmly said, "It's her fault for not being tactful. When the two of us are alone, she should have found an excuse to avoid arousing suspicion. Hehe, what's more, you're going to be my woman sooner or later, and this is your Duke's Mansion. There's nothing wrong with me telling you these things. "
"How can this be? Sister Huo Feng is just like my own sister. She'll definitely make fun of me." Helen angrily shouted at Han Shuo, as if she was a little girl who had just tasted love for the first time.
"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you anymore. I'm also leaving." Han Shuo was preparing to leave the Helon Duchy and make a trip to the other duchies. He wanted to see if he could find an opportunity to enchant the mystical demons into the minds of the several grand dukes. He wanted to seize the opportunity to control the grand dukes and gradually nibble away at the seven grand duchies.
"You, you're really leaving immediately?" Helen bit her lips and looked at Han Shuo with eager eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she blushed and lowered her head to suggest, "If you're willing to stay with me for a few days, as long as you don't really want me, I'll let you do anything else."
When she said these words, Helen's head was almost buried in her towering breasts. She couldn't help but secretly curse herself for being so lowly. How could she take the initiative to surrender to Han Shuo so quickly? But since she was the one who said those words, it was undoubtedly a form of submission to Han Shuo's other situation.
Han Shuo was stunned. His pair of burning eyes gazed at the bashful face of the goddess worshipped by the citizens of the Helon Duchy. His heart suddenly felt hot and dry. The bashful and angry Helen in front of him was boundlessly gorgeous and possessed a kind of soul-stealing charm. This made Han Shuo, who had always run amok, somewhat unable to hold himself back.
"Alright, I'll stay with you for two days." Han Shuo replied and abruptly hugged Helen by the waist. Amidst Helen's soft and bashful cry, he fiercely kissed Helen's rosy lips.
During these two days, Han Shuo accompanied Helen to wander around the Helon Duchy. Helen had secretly left the Duke's mansion and temporarily handed over some official duties to trusted subordinates.
The Helon Duchy was equivalent to a province in the Lancelot Empire. There were indeed some beautiful scenic spots in several of its cities. Helen had always been busy with official duties and hadn't had the opportunity to properly tour her own duchy's beautiful scenery. This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to come out with Han Shuo, she was truly in high spirits.
Both Han Shuo and Helen could fly, and Han Shuo had enough strength to protect Helen. In order to have some alone time with each other, the fire phoenix was naturally mercilessly excluded. The two used two days to visit several famous mountains and rivers, as well as beautiful valleys.
During these two days, Han Shuo really took advantage of Helen's body. Except for the lack of true ecstasy, every part of Helen's body had been explored by Han Shuo. At first, Helen was reserved and resistant, but as she slowly became intimate with Han Shuo, she gradually let go of herself. After two days, Han Shuo and Helen no longer had any barriers between them.
The surging waterfall was like thousands of silver ribbons pouring down in torrents. It fell into a bottomless cold pool, splashing up sparkling and translucent water droplets like crystals.
There were many lush plants growing around the cold pond. Some of the flower buds were releasing a delicate fragrance to their heart's content. All kinds of birds were chirping and dancing in the air, rendering this area full of vitality. The breath of spring was perfectly performed in this place.
On the branches of a towering old tree, Han Shuo hugged Helen and smiled at the beautiful scenery. He whispered softly as he listened to Helen narrate all the interesting things about the Helon Duchy.
These two days, Helen had put down her dignity and arrogance as the ruler of a duchy, and as a little girl who had fallen in love, she accompanied Han Shuo to her heart's content. Looking at the man in front of her who was becoming more and more satisfied with her, a feeling called happiness leisurely rose from the bottom of her heart.
"If you want to conquer the seven grand duchies, there's one person you must pay attention to." Nestled in Han Shuo's embrace, Helen slightly adjusted her posture and looked up at Han Shuo who was looking ahead.
Han Shuo stared blankly. He lowered his head and looked at Helen in puzzlement, asking, "Who?"
"Statholme of the Bramble Tanai!" Helen replied with a dignified expression.
"Who is this person? How come I've never heard of him?" Han Shuo was even more puzzled as he asked in puzzlement.
"The current seven grand duchies were the original Verdun Imperial Dynasty. When the Verdun Imperial Dynasty was at its peak, it wasn't any weaker than your Lancelot Empire. The State Preceptor of the Verdun Imperial Dynasty was Sword Saint Statholme. Although the Verdun Imperial Dynasty was divided into seven grand duchies, the original State Preceptor, Statholme, lived in seclusion in Stranglethorn Vale. This person should still be alive. Once the seven grand duchies are invaded by foreign enemies and are on the verge of being destroyed, he will definitely leave Stranglethorn Vale to help the seven grand duchies. "Helen looked at Han Shuo and explained.
Han Shuo was really astonished when he heard Helen's words. He couldn't help but continue to ask, "The Verdun Imperial Dynasty has disappeared for so long. Are you sure this person is still alive?"
Nodding, Helen said, "Legend has it that when your Lancelot Empire invaded the seven grand duchies last time, Statholme played a key role. The seven grand duchies didn't have a sword saint or sacred magus on the surface. When your Lancelot Empire invaded our seven grand duchies last time, your Lancelot Empire didn't send a sword saint or sacred magus because they were warned by Statholme.
When the Verdun Imperial Dynasty was still around, State Preceptor Statholme was a sword saint renowned throughout the continent. So long after the Verdun Imperial Dynasty, State Preceptor Statholme is still alive and well. No one knows exactly how powerful his strength is. However, after the last time, legend has it that State Preceptor Statholme warned the experts of your Lancelot Empire, they indeed didn't dare to use the forbidden magic of a sacred magus to reverse the situation of your Lancelot Empire's defeat. "
Han Shuo was overwhelmed with shock. He silently nodded, firmly engraving the name Statholme in his mind.
