After hearing the old man's words, the Duke of Wellington's expression did not change at all, but his eyes became somewhat softer.
He glanced at the old man and said, "Nowadays, things are different. Your Majesty is now the monarch of a country. According to court etiquette, I can no longer address you by your name. I can only call you Your Majesty the King."
Hearing Wellington's words, the old man looked helpless, sighed, and said: "I never regarded you as a subject, but treated you as an old friend.
I was only the third in line to the throne of the Farant Empire. During the turmoil over the crown prince, you single-handedly withstood the pressure from your family and the outside world and helped me fight back from death and successfully inherit the throne.
From that time on, I have said that you will always be my friend, and I will never treat you as an ordinary subject. Why must you be so stubborn
Are you going to act like an 'iron-blooded duke' in front of me?"
Wellington did not respond upon hearing this, but continued to kneel on the ground with a respectful look on his face.
King Edwin Lucas of the Farant Empire looked at the Duke of Wellington in front of him, and finally compromised helplessly: "Okay, okay, Willy, I get it, I won't force you.
But please don't kneel, okay? You want me to feel uncomfortable, right? How can I have a normal conversation with you if my only old friend kneels on the ground when we meet? "
After hearing what Edwin Lucas said, Wellington hesitated for a moment and finally stood up.
Edwin Lucas nodded in satisfaction. After a pause, he said, "By the way, Willy, the secret report you sent to me the other day is true. We have found some clues about the Black Eyed King's treasure."
As Edwin Lucas spoke, his expression became serious, and suddenly an imperial aura faintly gathered around him.
The Duke of Wellington nodded and said, "Your Majesty, we do have some clues about the Black Eyed King's treasure. This treasure is confirmed to exist..."
Afterwards, he informed the other party about Ye Li and others’ discovery of the key, and also truthfully explained how they had discovered two other key locations in the Farant Empire.
Edwin Lucas was shocked when he heard this and said, "This is simply incredible. Countless people have been looking for the whereabouts of the treasure for nearly a thousand years. However, until a few days ago, not only did no one know where the treasure was, we were even a little hesitant about whether the treasure existed.
But now suddenly, the treasure has appeared, and your people have been given a key.
Next, as long as the remaining keys are obtained by someone, the specific location of the treasure will be revealed, and we will all have the opportunity to compete for the treasure.
The most crucial point is that only those with the cultivation level of Yuantai period or below can enter the treasure, so the people that everyone can send into the treasure hunting place to search will all be at the same level.
In this way, even if we face the more powerful Jinde Empire, we don’t have to worry, and everyone will be qualified to enter the treasure land and compete.
Hehe, the construction drawings of the legendary Soul Gathering Cannon are among the treasures of the Black-Eyed King. If we can get this thing and produce it in large quantities, then we won’t have to be afraid of the Jinde Empire in the future.
The reason why the Jinde Empire can now suppress us and the Yikasi Empire is because they got the construction technology of the Black Eye King's Soul Gathering Cannon from somewhere.
With the help of this cannon, the Jinde Empire can be stronger than us. Otherwise, how could we lose in a head-on confrontation on the battlefield?"
Hearing what Edwin Lucas said, Wellington nodded, his eyes also became excited, and said: "Your Majesty is right, no matter how good the other things in the Black Eye King's treasure are, they cannot compare to the construction drawings of the Soul Gathering Cannon.
Wasn't it because of the help of the Spirit Gathering Cannon that the Black-Eyed King was able to build up a powerful army capable of competing with all the forces on the entire continent in a short period of time
With this kind of thing, they don't have to worry even if the number of divine masters is insufficient or the strength is insufficient. The high-level soul-gathering cannon is incredibly powerful and will become a nightmare for others on the battlefield.
This thing is the true value of the Black-Eyed King's treasure. We must not let anyone else take the blueprint away. We must get it.
Once we master this thing, the gap between Jin's empire and ours will narrow rapidly, and then we won't have to worry about them anymore."
Edwin Lucas nodded, smiled, and suddenly said, "Willie, didn't you just say that you have deduced that it is very likely that this treasure trove can only be inherited by the Black Eyed Tribe
So if this is true, and the Black-Eyed King's treasure is inherited by your Black-Eyed clan member, what should you do if he is unwilling to hand it over?" Upon hearing this, Wellington's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said: "Humph, this guy is just a chess piece. All I need now is the wooden key on him.
After he opens the treasure place, the people I send in to explore will not only help him find the treasure, but also be responsible for monitoring and controlling him.
Everything he got from the treasure land belongs to my Farant Empire. If he dares to resist, I will make him wish he were dead."
As the Duke of Wellington spoke, his eyes revealed an icy murderous intent.
In his heart, he didn't take Ye Li seriously at all. The previous conversation with Ye Li was just a deliberate attempt to calm Ye Li down. In his opinion, Ye Li was just a tool to open the door.
Although Ye Li's qualifications were excellent, in the eyes of the Duke of Wellington, "those who are not of my race must have different hearts." Since Ye Li was not from the Yaxi family, nor from the Farant Empire, it was impossible for him to be loyal to himself and others, so all he did was to stabilize Ye Li.
Ye Li had never thought of this. After all, he still lacked experience in the martial arts world and thought Wellington was too simple.
After a conversation with Wellington, Edwin Lucas immediately asked the Duke of Wellington to go down and speed up the search for more keys.
The first thing the Duke of Wellington did after returning to the family was to form a special operations team, led by Evans himself. Wesley and Ye Li were both among them, and they were specifically responsible for finding the key.
Their first target is within the territory of the Farant Empire, a special place called Tianjian Valley. The task of the special operations team is to explore there and find the key to unlock the door and get the key.
In addition to Ye Li, who was the only member of the Black Eyed Tribe, there was actually another member of the Black Eyed Tribe joining the team. This person's appearance surprised Ye Li a little.
What puzzled Ye Li even more was that when this black-eyed man looked at him, his eyes were filled with hostility. And judging from his daily behavior, the reason why this black-eyed man was hostile to him was out of jealousy. It seemed as if he was always competing with Ye Li for favor.
