"Ancient relics? A treasure coveted by the five major families at the same time?" Kant had a strange expression on his face, a smile that was not a smile. He is very clear that the world's nobles are standing behind the five major families. If these two guys really find something extraordinary and treasured by the five world's nobles, they can still come here safe and sound and make a pledge of refuge. His Kant look
"If it's not the treasure that the five nobles are looking for, but the protection that the four top earls and Carl Cameron are looking at, the words of these two guys can stand scrutiny. Take the two guys twelve years ago Judging from the vain attempt to get involved in Lionheart City with the four major families, they really regarded their family as being on the same level as the Cameron family and the four top earl families of the Lion Principality." Kant then switched Thinking from an angle, I found that the words of these two guys may not be lies, trying to deceive him.
"Then tell me, where is the ancient ruin you found? What is the treasure you found, did you bring it?" Kant looked down at the two top viscounts of the Lion Principality, carefully observing their faces When Kant asked, Viscount Porter and Viscount George remained calm and their expressions were very natural. Such a performance often represents a magnanimous heart, and of course the possibility of superb acting skills is not small-Kant is more inclined to the latter.
Viscount Porter deliberated for a while before answering Kant's question: "Your Majesty, the ancient ruins we discovered are at the bottom of the River Resniston, and that place happens to be my manor and the manor of Viscount George. The junction. At the beginning, one of my soldiers who accidentally fell into the water sank into the entrance of the ancient ruins found by the Resniston River, and then I quietly sent my men to investigate. However, my actions were hidden from others Noble, but did not hide it from Viscount George, you should know that he has always regarded me as his greatest rival, and that I am his greatest competitor for the sixth Earl of the Lion Principality."
Viscount Potter paused for a moment before continuing: "Therefore, this guy is very concerned about all my actions. Finally, in the third week of my exploration of the ancient ruins, Viscount George discovered my secret. He It is unreasonable to send a team to explore the ancient ruins quietly - our strength is similar, and I have nothing to do with him. I know he wants to get the good things in the ruins before me Got it. At that time, we were still in a fierce competition, because of his joining, I was forced to order my family's expedition team to speed up the progress, even if it took a little risk."
Viscount Porter spoke for a long time, and then secretly glanced at Baron Kant who was sitting on the main seat. Seeing that he was listening very seriously, he immediately continued: "The ancient ruins are not so easy to explore, and the dangers in them Most of the time, we have never heard of it, and we have never seen it. Many places in the ancient ruins are completely dark, and even some places cannot be illuminated by burning torches. Sometimes, from the terrifying darkness, terrible monsters will appear. Demonic creatures. Your Majesty, you built a majestic city on the Sangwana Mountains. You must know the horror of the ferocious demonic creatures. None of the demonic creatures in the ruins are weaker than the common ferocious ones. Yes. Sometimes, for a seemingly ordinary tree, its branches will suddenly bind the soldiers who are close to it, and then grow terrifying rhizomes from the branches. After a while, it will become the peak level of knights All soldiers will be sucked into a piece of bone-covered human skin by that horrible branch."
After pausing again, Baron Potter took a sip of the drink served by his attendants, and continued: "It is precisely because of this that the team that Viscount George and I sent first were in the ancient ruins. At that time, Viscount George and I really realized the difficulty of exploring that ancient relic. The entrance of that ancient relic was just at the bottom of the Reese Niston River at the junction of Viscount George and I. In order not to Repeating the previous mistakes, I negotiated with Viscount George, and finally reached an agreement and signed an agreement. We sent soldiers together to form the second expedition team, and continued to explore cautiously... "
Kant was sitting on the main seat, listening to Viscount Potter's spittle, he suddenly said, "Had, Viscount George is going for a walk in the garden, I have some questions to ask Viscount Potter alone."
At this time, Viscount Potter naturally stopped the words in his mouth, and at the same time raised his heart.
The two viscounts came to "seek Kant's protection", so they dared not go against Kant's will, and Harder took Viscount George out smoothly.
"Viscount Potter, please answer me. On what date did you sign the agreement with Viscount George? How many sheets of parchment were written on your agreement? At the same time, what is the color and size of the treasure you obtained? Now Where is it placed? And be careful, stop spitting nonsense! Just answer my question!"
Hearing Kant's question, Viscount Porter's scalp became numb all of a sudden, and cold sweat trickled down his face.
"This... this..." Viscount Potter didn't have the momentum to start eloquent at all, and he stammered without answering a single question.
"It's hard to answer my question?" Kant's voice became slightly indifferent.
"No... no, Your Majesty Kant, I am recalling carefully! You know, people in high positions like us have to deal with many things every day!" Viscount Porter racked his brains and answered Kant with difficulty. The problem.
"I remember... Your Majesty Kant, I remember!" Viscount Porter seemed to have recalled the answer to Kant's question, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty Kant, I signed an agreement with Viscount George The date was one year ago, on June 18th! It has been more than a year now, and the agreement was written on six parchments. The treasure we got is a black crown, which is larger than ordinary crowns Last lap, it is now placed in my manor."
"Dunde, take Viscount Potter to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion, and come back in five minutes!" Kant commanded another Swadian royal knight.
"Obey, my lord!" The Swadia Royal Knight took the order and led Viscount Potter directly out of the Lord's Mansion of Lionheart City.
"Newd! Go and bring Harder and Viscount George back!" Kant thought about Viscount Potter's words, and after listening to Viscount Potter's description, Kant ordered another Swadia royal knight again.
When Viscount George returned to the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Kant asked him the same question.
At first, Viscount George was as embarrassed as Viscount Porter, but after a while, Viscount George replied: "Your Majesty Kant, the date when I signed the agreement with Viscount Porter was four months ago, in May On the 17th. The agreement was written on two pages of parchment. The treasure we obtained is a black crown, which is a circle larger than ordinary crowns, and it is now placed in the manor of Viscount Potter."
Kant smiled and said: "It seems that Viscount Porter is right, Viscount George, you really regard Viscount Porter as the biggest competitor to become the sixth Earl of the Lion Principality, and remember more firmly about the two of you. Viscount Potter doesn’t remember the agreement you signed four months ago. He said that the date you signed the agreement was a year ago, on June 18. Viscount George, you must also remember that you and Potter signed on June 18 last year. What agreement did the Viscount sign?"
When Viscount George heard Kant's words, his face turned pale.
On June 18 last year, Viscount George did sign an agreement with Viscount Porter. And it is more important, an agreement that was not implemented in the end.
…
"Potter, you idiot, the last agreement we signed was signed on May 17 this year, how could you answer that it was June 18 last year? We also signed an agreement during this time!" Viscount George Leaving Lionheart City with Viscount Potter, he kept complaining about Viscount Potter's bad business on the horse.
"Hey, George, you stupid pig! You have the nerve to say it! Don't you even think about it, are the ancient ruins so easy to explore? From the time we sign the agreement to the time we finally get the treasure, it will naturally take longer. It will be more precious, and it will attract Baron Kant to leave Lionheart City!" Baron Porter became furious, and accused George in turn: "Besides, the agreement we signed on June 18 last year was to jointly embezzle Baron Kant's land in the Nalun Desert. The agreement on the salt mine in the middle is appropriate in terms of time. When facing Baron Kant, I can’t help but think about it, okay! So, George, you are a stupid pig! You caused me to lose the opportunity to train thirty great knights. Precious resources! Originally, the promises of the five major families are enough to make up for the losses I suffered in the ancient ruins!"
…
After Kant expelled the two Viscounts of South County who proved to have deceived him, he thought to himself: "What is their purpose? From the words of Viscount Potter, especially when he said that his own expedition team was wiped out Judging from the inadvertently distressed expression, the ancient ruins, nine out of ten, really exist. As for the so-called treasure - a black crown, what the two said is very consistent. Obviously, if it hadn't been discussed a long time ago, It’s not the black crown, it really does exist!”
"The five major families, and the two viscounts who are loyal to the treasures but put the treasures in the manor, this should be a conspiracy situation set up by them. I might as well think about it along the route set by these guys: The treasure that was coveted by the five families at the same time agreed to protect the two viscounts, which must require them to offer the treasures—the two viscounts can tell me at this time, anyway, there must be their reasons, and the treasures are placed in Viscount Potter’s manor I need to get it myself." Thinking of this, Kant felt that he had already guessed the opponent's conspiracy.
He will never forget that there are five world nobles in Nanjun Territory who want to kill him. In Lionheart City, there are nearly a large number of Swadian Royal Knights, Sarion Lion Knights, and Ernfas Empire Mages guarding it. Even if five world nobles come together, Kant is not afraid, but if the Lionheart If he faced five nobles in the world without bringing an army, Kant would not be sure that he would be able to survive.
"Wait another month. If there is no specific news from the five world nobles, I will directly attack the South County leader! After a month, the East County leader will almost lose its value! After all, even if it is military training, it is a real battlefield, all the time. There are no dead people. It’s just that compared with the previously planned destructive battlefield, the war time has been extended many times.” Kant thought: “In this way, there may be a chance to see what the so-called black crown is. This kind of treasure can make the five nobles of the world believe that they can attract me with it, so they can get it in person."
Kant understood that if he was really attracted, he would use the projection of his will to observe the treasure first. Only when the treasure was really attractive enough would he be able to take it himself. As veteran nobles, the five world nobles will naturally use will projection, and they will also take Kant's ability into consideration. Therefore, that black crown should really be a valuable treasure.
These are all Kant's speculations, but they are close to the truth.
…
The demiplane of Baron Till Isai Maud's fief is now in flames of war. It was now September, officially his calamity month. However, he is worthy of being the most powerful existence in the world of Isaiah, among the barons of the world. He easily suppressed a demon from the abyss and attacked wildly. Hold a meeting with four other world nobles.
The location is still in the same meeting room in the fortress in the demi-plane fief of Baron Till Isai Maude.
"Ryan, the dark crown you offered doesn't seem to be as irresistibly attractive to Baron Kant as you said?" Baron Till Isai Maud said rudely to Ryan Isaika Baron Mellon said.
"Kant's mother, Sophia, was the Radiant Saintess of the Silver Plate Kingdom's Radiance Sect. How could her bloodline be attracted by an extraordinary item like the Dark Crown? Ryan, a spy from my family, has seen Kant before. The Baron used the Glorious Domain!" Baron Victor Isai Ino said in the same unceremonious manner.
The four nobles of the world all blamed Baron Ryan Isai Cameron on Baron Ryan Isai Cameron. As Kant's father, he seemed to know nothing about Kant, and would even come up with a piece that was not attractive to Kant. The supernatural items in an attempt to lure Kant out of Lionheart City.
"Potter and George!" Baron Ryan Isai Cameron spoke very bluntly, almost with a single word.
The four nobles of the world have dealt with him for a long time, so it is natural to know that Baron Ryan Isai Cameron has shifted the responsibility to the two Viscount Potter who were promised by the five major families to perform in front of Kant. and Viscount George.
"Show the crown!" Without waiting for other world nobles to answer, Baron Ryan Isai Cameron left another four words in a cold voice, and then his figure was disillusioned, and he just walked away.
