When the eldest son of August Winter was whipped in the "Security Department" and screamed in pain, Ren didn't know that he was being remembered for some reason.
The young man was originally curious to ask about Renn's details, but he didn't expect that he didn't get any useful information, and instead got into trouble.
Naturally, he held a grudge against someone like Lei.
... .
Ren followed Ymir to a high-end inn - "Sylph's Freeman's Inn".
This was originally the property of the Omar royal family in the Glory City. Although the name does not sound very grand, the decoration inside is of palace standards, low-key yet full of luxury.
The two of them didn't say a word the whole way out of the security department. They had a tacit understanding as if they were mourning in the wilderness.
One walks in front and the other follows behind.
Of course, what was different from before was that there was a group of guards surrounding the two.
Well... it feels very safe.
In addition to those powerful heavy-armored knights, Ren also discovered that the personal bodyguards of Her Royal Highness the Princess were all long-legged female palace swordsmen, and they all looked pretty good. It's just a cold face with a few words written on it that say no strangers should enter.
After entering the inn and going upstairs, Ymir was surrounded by everyone and walked into a room that was obviously restricted by magic.
The old aunt skillfully took off the plain white cloak that Ymir was wearing and hung it on the coat rack nearby; the three maids respectively untied part of her combat armor and untied the iron armor from her waist. , took off the thin sword from her waist, and then covered her with a layer of gauze.
The whole process was orderly. Within ten steps of Ymir entering the house, these servants had already done everything.
Ren was very surprised by what he saw. The royal family's life was really luxurious. They didn't have to do anything to change their clothes.
"Okay, you all go out."
Ymir waved and said before these maids could do anything else.
As soon as he finished speaking, the seven or eight people in the room filed out in an instant.
Ren knew that these words were not meant for him, so he stood quietly in the corner.
In a blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the room.
But he clearly felt that when the female guards and the old nanny left, their eyes fell on him and wandered away for a moment.
It seemed that they were confused as to why Her Royal Highness would leave such a man alone in the house.
... .
This room is a bit like a study room. It is decorated luxuriously and makes people feel very comfortable.
There was a yellowed map hanging in the most conspicuous place on the wall. After a quick glance, Renzhi recognized it as the "world map" of this world.
There are many place names marked on it, including the two empires of Omar and Sid, the Alcoron Mountains... and some place names in small print.
Sure, but it's more of a foggy area of marked blank space.
There is a magic crystal lamp in the room, which is very bright.
The surrounding bookshelves are densely packed with books related to military, geography, and politics.
This is a royal collection, and the title of the book Wren has no recollection of.
At this time, Ymir walked to the large mahogany table in front of the map. There was an ornament of a monster skull, which looked like a third-order "Golden-horned Demonic Deer".
She took off the golden mask she had been wearing on her face and gently placed it on the mahogany table.
This peerless beauty appeared before his eyes again, and Renn still felt extremely amazed.
She is wearing a low-cut gold light armor with a V-shaped opening, dotted with dazzling gems, and silver fish scale mail with intricate carvings on her thighs and shoulders. This is a set of advanced enchanted armor that takes into account both beauty and defense.
The palace sword belongs to the first class of light swords. In order to facilitate fighting, this kind of armor has metal armor on the vital parts, and other parts are exposed to the air.
Now that most of the external metal armor was removed, only the close-fitting leather armor remained, which also allowed her tall and graceful figure to be clearly seen.
Hmm... I glanced at it, a little confused, and my eyes didn't stay long.
After all, I have seen everything I should see and what I shouldn't see...
Ren's expression was as usual, his eyes were not squinting.
... .
"How's the injury on your neck doing?"
Ymir took off his mask and asked, breaking the silence.
We promised not to see each other again, but we didn't expect to meet again under such circumstances.
"It's nothing serious."
Ren said, instinctively rubbing the centipede-shaped suture wound on his neck with his hand, and then said: "Thank you for saving me again. Miss Ymir... Oh, no!"
After a pause, he immediately changed his words: "It's Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."
Ymir was as cold-tempered as ever, and didn't care which title he used. He said calmly: "Even if I don't bail you out, you can still come out of the security department."
However, despite her cold words, she was indeed surprised by the change in the little doctor she once knew.
The previous scene where Ren performed a live surgery to save himself on the street also left a deep impression on the eldest princess.
Suturing a cut throat wound on your neck by yourself is definitely not an extreme operation that ordinary surgeons can do.
Before going to the Sheriff's Department, she already knew the whole story.
Being able to survive being wiped out by a third-level assassin is enough to prove that his methods are not simple.
What's more, there is also Bazel whose motives are unknown.
Once in the wasteland, Ymir thought that Ren was an ordinary doctor with some secrets.
But now it seems that this secret is not a small one.
... .
Ymir said straight to the point without any more reminiscing about old times.
"Tell me what the deal is."
The tone was as cold as ever, and Ren was used to it.
Although the two of them didn't get along for long, he was very aware of the big boss's ink-free temperament.
He also said straight to the point: "I was assassinated and put a bounty on my head because I mastered a 'secret'. Therefore, I plan to use this secret to make a deal with you."
Ymir seemed to have expected it, and said calmly: "You continue."
"I have in my hand the address of the wreckage of a mechanical city that may be a higher civilization... It should be a mechanical city that can fly in the sky. If the technology of mechanical destruction is obtained, it is very likely to give steam to the modern era. Technology has brought about an innovation. Among the wreckage, there may also be higher-level extraordinary items... "
Renn told the general situation of Baron Morin's treasure concisely and directly.
Ymir was very calm just now, but when he heard these words, his blue pupils shrank suddenly.
Although she had a hunch that things were not simple, the amount of information in this sentence was still too amazing.
"You mean..."
She was obviously thinking about the authenticity of this statement and asked: "The wreckage of a mechanical city that is suspected to be a high-level civilization?"
If it were a secret like any other treasure, the Omar royal family, who were used to seeing treasures in the world, would never be so moved.
But this news forced her to take it seriously.
"Yes."
Ren nodded, with a solemn look on his face.
"..."
At this time, Ymir's eyes suddenly flickered.
The weight of this "secret" is too heavy.
Only a person in a high position like her can better understand what this secret means to a country or human civilization.
Finally, she also understood why a dignified blood marquis from Sid would personally hunt down a first-level extraordinary young doctor; she also finally understood why someone in the Oma black market would put a high reward of 100 million to reward him. !
if.
There really is a mechanical city of another high-level civilization somewhere in the fog, then... this means a threat, but it also represents a huge opportunity!
Just like a thousand years ago, her ancestors of the Spurgeon family discovered the remains of steam machinery civilization.
... .
The reason why Ren chose to tell this secret was not because of anything else, but because he had to do it.
It is now clear that the person behind the hiring of Quinn to assassinate Morin was the royal family of the Sid Empire, the vampire Dracula family!
Such a powerful enemy, trying to crush an [Awakened One] to death is as easy as crushing an ant to death.
It was a pure luck that he was able to save his life this time.
Lane is very self-aware.
The "Molin Treasure" has been exposed, and it is impossible for him to protect it by himself.
If he continues to keep the secret and faces the pursuit of the Sid royal family, he will be lucky this time; then next time, even Bazel in his heyday may not be able to save him.
When I fled to the Glory City with "Baron Morin's treasure" in my arms, firstly, I had no better choice to deal with this "secret"; secondly, I was lucky that the person behind the scenes didn't know the value of Morin's relics, so I gave up. Pursue; Sanye bets that the other party cannot find him.
Now, the fantasy is completely shattered.
If a child holds gold and goes through the bustling market, he will receive his fortune and spend his fortune.
He must make a choice.
Since you can't keep the secret alone, you can only choose to maximize your interests.
What's more, in fact, the only treasures on the mechanical airship that Wren himself really needed were the subsequent advanced magic potions and exclusive knowledge of the "Combat Doctor Sequence".
As for steam machinery technology, he is not very interested as a doctor. It would be better if you can hold it in your hands; if not, it won't be a big problem.
There is a lot of room for negotiation.
That's why he decided to trade this secret.
He needs a trading partner who can transfer the risk, and who has the strength to bear this "secret".
There are not many forces in this world that can resist the pursuit of the Sid royal family.
The City of Glory counts as one, the Omar Royal Family counts as one, and the other is the eldest princess in front of her who has a mortal feud with vampires.
The teacher was arrested, and Renn no longer had much favorable impression of the Glory City. If he chose to trade with them, the chance of being "killed and cheated" was not low.
What's more, he couldn't trust strangers at all.
As for the eldest princess Ymir, at least she has friends and not enemies.
This woman who once borrowed a hundred gold crowns and was able to return a "Law Ice Crystal" is more credible than the other two parties.
She became stronger, and she would have a place to stay in the future.
Of course, another reason is that if Ren wants to save his teacher Ilubek, he has to ask the eldest princess to take action.
Although there are still risks, this is the best option for now.
... .
Ymir pondered for a moment, then said crisply: "Say your conditions."
