In a residential cellar on the edge of Dawn City, Reinhold, the son and only heir of Grand Duke Dawn, was found.
The heir's condition is very bad.
Not only was he severely tortured, with many scars on his body, but the torturer also used some secret techniques to have a mental impact on the heir more than once.
But surprisingly, when the heir was found again, the other party was sober.
Although he looked very sluggish, his mind was extremely clear.
"Everyone, can you help me inform the servants at home?"
Reinhold, whose face was covered in blood, looked up at the spies holding torches and said.
Without any hesitation, these spies immediately contacted the servants of the Liming family, and even provided simple treatment for the son of Grand Duke Liming.
Of course, a lot of tempting words are unavoidable.
"I can't tell you what happened."
"Facing you who have saved your life, I am not honest enough."
"But the circumstances I've faced compel me to do so, please forgive me."
Reinhold said with a wry smile.
Even though he was seriously injured and his breath was weak, Reinhold still showed an extraordinary demeanor at this moment, and his calm tone made the spies shut up.
No one who can become a spy is a fool.
They know very well what is enough to know and what is not.
silently waiting.
The servants of the Grand Duke's mansion came in a hurry and carried Reinhold away in a hurry.
After returning to Grand Duke Liming's mansion and putting Reinhold under heavy protection, these servants relaxed a little.
However, he still stood behind the middle-aged housekeeper, staring straight at the best doctor in the family.
"Master Reinhold's physique is very good. Although there are a few places that are close to fatal, but with Mr. Reinhold's physique and my potion, it only takes one month to heal."
The skyrocketing number of doctors made everyone, including the middle-aged housekeeper, heave a long sigh of relief.
Then, everything went back to normal at Reinhold's beck and call.
Although the butler wanted to ask about the whereabouts of Grand Duke Liming, facing the silent Reinhold, the butler chose to give up.
"You rest first."
After saying those words, the butler left the room.
Immediately, Reinhold was alone in the room.
After confirming that no one was watching, the son of Grand Duke Li Ming, the only heir, suddenly showed a smug smile on his face.
It worked!
Although there were some accidents that made him change his original plan, he succeeded in the end.
Not only squeezed out a strong competitor, but also obtained an extremely perfect body.
leftover…
It's the 'crown'!
Thinking of the 'crown', the former Onsekerd and now Reinhold couldn't help but get excited.
However, he did not forget his plan.
Two high-level healing potions appeared in Reinhold's hands. After taking them, the injury that the doctor said would take a month to heal recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
With abundant physical strength again, Reinhold habitually squeezed his fists.
"Although it's not as good as when I was at my peak, it's worth it as long as I can get the 'crown', not to mention... this body has a potential that my original body can't match!"
Dazzling brilliance bloomed in Reinhold's hands.
Feeling the power brought by the blood of the Liming family, Reinhold smiled again.
Perhaps, this kind of power is very weak at this moment, but no one understands better than Reinhold, as long as there is enough time, the body will grow to what extent.
"At that time..."
"I'll have it all!"
Reinhold raised his arms high, as if embracing his victory.
It took a full four or five seconds before Reinhold got rid of his fantasy.
Without any hesitation, the brand new heir to the grand duke rang the bell beside the bed.
"Your Excellency... how did you stand up?"
"The doctor said, you must rest..."
"Your injury?"
The middle-aged butler looked at Reinhold in surprise.
"Sorry, I concealed it from you, but I need to do one thing, I must hide it from anyone, I hope you can understand."
Reinhold said and bowed to the middle-aged butler.
Exactly the same appearance, temperament.
Coupled with the same modest and gentle behavior, the middle-aged butler did not have any suspicions.
On the contrary, the housekeeper who was only thinking about the Liming family immediately asked: "Is there something important that you called me here?"
"Please rest assured and leave it to me!"
"I promise with my life that I will do it!"
The middle-aged butler swore.
"It is precisely because I know you will do this that I entrust this matter to you!"
"Please listen carefully."
After a slight whisper, the middle-aged butler left the room with a solemn expression.
Looking at the back of the other party, Reinhold smiled again, and he raised his hand to touch his completely different face.
"Sure enough, 'identity' has indescribable benefits!"
With such exclamations, Reinhold quietly left the mansion of Grand Duke Liming and headed straight for the royal family of San Seanda.
Under Qin Ran's intimidation, the royal family of San Seanda mobilized everyone they could.
The defense of the entire San Seanda Palace became useless. For Reinhold, it was really like no one was in the land.
Not to mention the 'pole' and the Marquis of Burning.
Even if the royal family of San Seanda defended the palace ten times more tightly, it could not stop the two of them.
The Burning Marquis just stood on a step aboveboard, not worried about being discovered by anyone.
And 'Ji' melts the whole person into a shadow.
The two are in different positions, but their auras are faintly confronting each other.
Even the appearance of Reinhold did not change this confrontation.
"We are partners."
"There is no need to be so tense."
Facing the eyes of the two collaborators, Reinhold said with a smile.
"You and I are collaborators."
"But he's not."
Burning Marquis glanced at 'Ji' disdainfully, and said this.
For those bugs hiding in the shadows, the Burning Marquis has always had a bad impression, even if 'Ji' showed a strong assassination skill when he raided the Duke of Dawn before.
Bugs are bugs.
At most it's a little bigger.
In the eyes of the Burning Marquis, there is no difference.
Among them, of course, is Reinhold.
If the opponent was in the previous state, the Burning Marquis would still be wary, but now
The strength shown by the opponent is no longer worthy of his attention.
"You and I are collaborators."
"He and I are also collaborators."
"So, everyone is considered a collaborator. I can assure you that he, like me, did not come here for the tiara!"
"All I need is a body, for which I gave up my original strength."
"But what he needs is the secret key to truly open the 'grave' of the Golden City."
"Everyone gets what they need, okay?"
Reinhold showed his 'sincerity'.
The Burning Marquis snorted coldly and did not speak again.
If he hadn't had other thoughts about the 'grave' of the Golden City, he would have killed that disgusting bug now.
Seeing the appearance of the Burning Marquis, Reinhold laughed again.
He knew that his words had worked.
The Burning Marquis in front of him was completely hooked.
Without the containment of Grand Duke Liming, the opponent's ambitions and desires have already swelled to unimaginable levels.
But isn't that what he wants
An arrogant opponent who can't see the reality clearly is better than a cautious schemer who hides in the dark, right
In this dungeon world in front of him, there are only two people who really care about him.
One is Grand Duke Liming.
The other one is the Marquis of Burning.
If it wasn't for the existence of the two of them, he would have completed all his plans and won the 'Crown' long ago.
Of course, without the existence of the two of them, it would not be his turn for a 'little pawn' to enter the only dungeon world with the title in front of him.
The 'Broker' guy's subordinates, but I don't know how many people are staring at this place.
"However, you wouldn't have thought that I would provoke the Marquis of Burning to launch a surprise attack on the Duke of Dawn, would you?"
"Arrogant and arrogant, you think you are extremely smart, how can you understand the minds of us little people?"
"So, you can't see the resentment and despair of a suppressed person at all."
"And his 'joy' of being born again once the suppression is released."
"'Broker' you miscalculated!"
"Wait for me!"
"I will go back!"
"I want to take away everything that belongs to you, and then, let you experience the humiliation I suffered back then!"
Reinhold thought in his heart, but the smile on his face became more and more sincere.
He even half-jokingly said to the Burning Marquis.
"Master Marquis, please follow me."
"Thanks to your eldest son, we were able to walk in the palace so openly, otherwise, it would take a lot of effort to reach the old king's bedroom."
"My eldest son is only Steinbeck."
"2567 has been expelled from the Burning Clan."
The Burning Marquis emphasized.
"certainly."
"He has been deported."
"Even if he is recognized by the Burning Dawn and becomes the heir, what is it to you?"
"Insignificant, not worth mentioning."
Reinhold said half seriously and half flatteringly.
In Reinhold's view, Kieran was nothing special.
Maybe his strength was good, or maybe he was lucky, which caused him some trouble, but in the end Kieran will definitely follow the most conspicuous 'bait' as he planned.
Like 'Giant' Dade, among the top ten supernovas, which one is not worth a lot of money, coupled with the 'killing reward rules' of the dungeon world in front of you, any player who doesn't know the truth, can't would give up that gain.
Not to mention that greedy 2567.
After obtaining more specific information about 2567 from Ji's mouth, Reinhold set up this trap in a targeted manner.
Draw the other party's attention completely away.
And now his competition is left... 'Extreme'.
Did not go to see each other.
Even, there was no killing intent for the other party in his heart.
Reinhold, who knew the background of the other party well, kept himself harmless, and led the way so seriously.
The group of three arrived at the bedroom of Saint Seanda XI, or outside the palace.
From the later years of St. Seanda V to St. Seanda XI.
For a hundred years, the palace of the royal family of San Seanda has not undergone any changes.
There was neither relocation nor renovation.
Even if it is damaged, it is a minimum repair.
This is all because of the decree of Saint Seanda V in his later years: any extravagance and waste is useless and condemned. Any descendant of the royal family of Saint Ceanda must abide by the simple tradition, and the house cannot be rebuilt unless it collapses. No renovations are allowed, and anyone who does not comply, even a king, shall lose his throne and be replaced by a sage.
Because of this decree, the royal palace of the San Seanda royal family looks very quaint.
Seriously speaking, it can be regarded as shabby.
Of course, it's just the palace.
Starting from the Saint Seanda VII, the other courtyard has already become a "new tradition" recognized by the royal family of Saint Seanda.
"Santa Ceanda V a hundred years ago must not have imagined that after his death not only his successors violated his wishes, but even the Burning Dawn became fragmented."
Reinhold looked at the mottled door of the bedroom in front of him, and while sighing similarly, he opened the door and walked into it.
Like the mottled gate, the bedroom is also of the same quaintness.
Especially the bed that His Majesty the King lay on day and night, it has been repaired countless times, making it completely lost the grandeur of the past, and it doesn't look as good as that used by ordinary wealthy people.
"hurry up!"
The Burning Marquis couldn't wait to urge Reinhold to look around him.
"immediately."
As the Grand Duke's son said, he walked to the big bed and lifted the big bed, exposing the stone floor.
Then, he turned his head to look at 'Ji'.
Silently, 'Ji' threw out a dead body.
The corpse of the Duke of Dawn.
There are obvious dagger scars on the back.
However, the fatal wound was in the chest.
Grand Duke Li Ming's heart was crushed, and all the blood evaporated, but what is surprising is that the Grand Duke's skin, flesh, and bones did not suffer any damage.
Reinhold ignored the archduke's eyes wide open until his death, with an angry and disbelieving expression on his face, and after leaving the corpse on the ground, he took out a dagger and cut his palm.
Scarlet blood dripped down.
It flows on the corpse of Grand Duke Liming and on the ground.
Instead of flowing according to the rules of gravity, an invisible force bound the blood, drawing a perfect circle on the ground.
"Same blood, merciless heart."
"A former ally, a deep-seated betrayal."
"A dagger hidden in the shadows, a flame that burns blood."
"The body dies."
"Soul Roar."
"but… "
"It's useless."
"The heir will not return!"
"Will not return!"
…
A vicious moan sounded from Reinhold's mouth.
In the circle drawn by the blood, symbols one by one began to appear with such a vicious croon.
At the same time, there is also a reminder
[Player Dade was killed by player 2567, determined to be dead!]
…
Everything is as he expected.
The clear hint made Reinhold's voice more brisk.
On the ground, there are more and more symbols of blood.
When the body of Grand Duke Liming began to melt, there was a tremor in the ground.
"Successful!"
Reinhold said.
'Ji' has already rushed towards the Burning Marquis.
Reinhold followed suit.
The Burning Marquis looked at the two with a sneer.
until...
A dagger pierced the heart of 'Ji'.
