Chapter 564. Treasures of ancient ruins
"Ancient ruins? A treasure coveted by the five great families at the same time? Kant had a peculiar expression, as if he was smiling rather than smiling. He knows very well that behind the five major families are the world nobles, if these two guys really find something amazing and at the same time are valued by the five world nobles, can they still run here unharmed and make a look of surrendering to him Kant?
"If it's not the treasures that are valued by the five nobles, it's the four top earls and Carl. If Cameron looks at the protection, the rhetoric of these two guys can stand up to scrutiny. Judging from the incident when these two guys tried to get involved in Lionheart City with the four major families twelve years ago, they really regarded their family as an existence on the same level as the Cameron family and the four top earl families of the Lion Duchy. Kant then switched his perspective and found that the words of these two fellows were not necessarily lies, in a vain attempt to deceive him.
"Then tell me, where is the ancient ruins you found? What are the treasures you found, and have you brought them with you? Kant condescendingly looked down at the two top viscounts of the Duchy of Lion, carefully observing the expressions on their faces, when Kant asked, Viscount Potter and Viscount George were calm and natural. Such performances often represent openness in the heart, and of course the possibility of superb acting is not small - Kant prefers the latter.
Viscount Potter pondered his words for a moment before answering Kant's question: "Your Majesty Kant, the ancient ruins we have found are at the bottom of the Resneston River, which happens to be the place where my manor meets Viscount George's manor. It was one of my soldiers who accidentally fell into the water and sank into the entrance to the ancient ruins that the Resniston River was lucky enough to find, and then I quietly sent my men to investigate. However, I have been able to hide my actions from the other nobles, but not from Viscount George, and you should know that he has always regarded me as his greatest rival, and considered me to be his greatest rival for the sixth count of the Duchy of Lion. ”
Viscount Potter paused before continuing, "Therefore, this guy is unusually attentive to all my actions. Eventually, in my third week of exploring the ancient ruins, Viscount George discovered my secret. He was unreasonable and sent a team to quietly explore the ancient ruins - we were about the same strength, and I couldn't do anything about him. I knew he wanted to get his hands on the good stuff in that ruin before I did. At that time, we were still in a fiercely competitive relationship, and because of his participation, I was forced to order my family's expedition to speed up, even if it was a little more risky. ”
Viscount Potter said a long time, secretly glanced at Baron Kant sitting on the main seat, and saw that he was listening very seriously, and immediately continued: "The ancient ruins are not so easy to explore, and the dangers in them are often unheard of and unseen. Sometimes out of that terrible darkness comes out of terrifying demonic creatures. Your Majesty, you have built a majestic city above the Sanwana Mountains, and you must know the horror of the murderous demonic creatures. None of the demonic creatures in the ruins were weaker than the usual ferocious species. Sometimes, a big tree that looks ordinary, its branches will suddenly tie up the soldiers who are close to it, and then grow terrifying rhizomes from the branches, as long as it takes a while, even the soldiers at the peak level of knights will be sucked by the terrifying branches into a human skin wrapped in bones. ”
After another pause, Baron Potter took a sip of the drink brought by the squire, and continued: "It is precisely because of this that the team sent by Viscount George and I was wiped out before we were halfway through the exploration of the ancient ruins. It was then that Viscount George and I really realized how difficult it was to explore that ancient ruin. The entrance to that ancient ruin was right at the bottom of the Resneston River at the junction of me and Viscount George's estate. In order not to repeat the mistakes of the previous past, I negotiated with Viscount George, and finally reached an agreement and signed an agreement. Together, send soldiers to form a second expedition team, and continue to explore cautiously and carefully......"
Kant sat on the main seat, listened to Viscount Potter's spittle, and suddenly said: "Hader, Viscount George is going for a walk in the garden, I have some questions to ask Viscount Potter separately." ”
At this time, Viscount Potter naturally stopped the words in his mouth, and at the same time his heart was raised.
The two viscounts came to "seek refuge from Kant", so they did not dare to go against Kant's will, and Harder went out with Viscount George smoothly.
"Viscount Potter, could you please answer me, what is the date on which you signed your agreement with Viscount George? How many parchments are written in your agreement? At the same time, what color and size is the treasure you obtained? Where is it now? And be careful, stop spitting nonsense! Straight to my questions! ”
Hearing Kant's question, Viscount Potter's nervous scalp suddenly tingled, and cold sweat flowed down his face.
"This ...... This ......" Viscount Potter did not begin to speak at all, and stammered without answering a single question.
"My question, hard to answer?" Kant's voice cooled slightly.
"No...... No, under the crown of Kant, I am carefully recalling! You know, people in high positions like us have to deal with a lot of things every day! Viscount Potter racked his brains and answered Kant's question with difficulty.
"Remember...... Your Majesty Kant, I remember! Viscount Potter seemed to really recall the answer to Kant's question, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty Kant, the date of my agreement with Viscount George was a year ago, June 18!" It's been more than a year since then, and the agreement was written on six pieces of parchment. The treasure we have obtained is a black crown, larger than a normal crown, which is now in my manor. ”
"Dunde, you take Viscount Potter to walk around the outside of the City Lord's Mansion and come back in five minutes!" Kant commanded to the other Swadian royal knight.
"Yes, my lord!" The Royal Knight of Svadia took the order and took Viscount Potter directly out of the City Lord's Mansion of Lionheart.
"Newd! Go and bring Harder and Viscount George back! Kant pondered Viscount Potter's words, and listening to Viscount Potter's description, Kant once again instructed another Swadia royal knight.
When Viscount George returned to the main hall of the city lord's mansion, Kant asked him the same question.
At first, Viscount George, like Viscount Potter, was a little embarrassed, and after a while, Viscount George replied: "Your Majesty Kant, the date of my agreement with Viscount Potter was four months ago, on the 17th of May. That agreement was written on two pages of parchment. The treasure we acquired was a black crown, larger than a normal crown, which was now in the manor of Viscount Potter. ”
Kant smiled and said: "It seems that Viscount Potter is not wrong, Viscount George, you do regard Viscount Potter as the biggest competitor to become the sixth earl of the Duchy of Lion, and remember the matter of the two of you more firmly!" Viscount Potter doesn't remember the agreement you signed four months ago, and he said that the date you signed the agreement was a year ago, June 18. Viscount George, you must remember what kind of agreement you signed with Viscount Potter on June 18 last year? ”
When Viscount George heard Kant's words, his face immediately turned pale.
Last June 18, Viscount George did sign an agreement with Viscount Potter. And it was more important, and in the end there was no agreement to implement it.
……
"Potter, you idiot, the last agreement we signed was on May 17 of this year, how could you answer that it was June 18 last year? We also signed an agreement in between! "Viscount George and Viscount Potter left Lionheart City, and they kept complaining about Viscount Potter on the horse.
"Hey, George, you stupid pig! You're embarrassed to say it! You don't want to think about it, ancient ruins are so easy to explore? From the time we signed the agreement to the final acquisition of the treasure, it will naturally take a little longer, so that the treasure obtained will be more precious and more attractive to Baron Kant to leave Lionheart City! Baron Potter was annoyed and angry, and in turn accused George: "Besides, the agreement we signed on June 18 last year was originally an agreement to jointly embezzle Baron Kant's salt mines in the Narun Desert, and the time is right, and when facing Baron Kant, I can't help but think of it!" So, George, you're a stupid pig! You've caused me to lose a precious resource that can train thirty great knights! Originally, the promises of the five major families were enough to make up for the losses I suffered in the ancient ruins! ”
……
After Kant expelled the two viscounts of Nanjun, who proved to have deceived him, he thought to himself: "What is their purpose?" Judging from Viscount Napotter's words, especially the heartache he inadvertently revealed when he talked about the annihilation of his own expedition, the ancient ruins really existed nine times out of ten. And the so-called treasure, a black crown, the two said very consistently, obviously if it hadn't been discussed a long time ago, if it weren't for this black crown, it would indeed exist! ”
"The five major families, the two viscounts who are still loyal to the treasure but put the treasure in the manor, this should be a conspiracy situation set up by them, I might as well follow the route set by these guys to think about it: because I coveted the treasure that was coveted by the five major families at the same time, I agreed to shelter the two viscounts, then they must be required to offer the treasure - the two viscounts can tell me at this time, in short, there must be their reasons, the treasure is placed in the manor of Viscount Potter, and I need to take it personally." When Kant thought of this, he felt that he had almost guessed the conspiracy of his opponent.
He wouldn't forget that there were five other world nobles in the Southern Commander who wanted to kill him. In Lionheart City, there are almost a large number of Swadia Royal Knights, Saarion Lion Knights, and Einface Imperial Mages guarding them, even the five world nobles are all here, and Kant is fearless, but if he leaves Lionheart City and faces five world nobles without bringing an army, Kant is not sure that he will survive.
"Wait another month, if there is no specific news from the five world nobles, I will directly attack the Nanjun Territory! A month later, the East Commander had almost lost its value! After all, even if it is a military training, it is a real battlefield, and people are dying all the time. It's just that the war has been many times longer than the previously planned battlefield of devastation. Kant thought, "In this way, I may have the opportunity to see what kind of treasure the so-called black crown is, which can make the five nobles of the world believe that they can attract me with it, and go and take it for themselves." ”
Kant understood that if he was really attracted, he would first use the projection of his will to observe the treasure, and only if the treasure was really attractive enough, he could take it himself. The five world nobles, as veteran aristocrats, will naturally use the will projection, and will also take into account Kant's ability. Therefore, that black crown should really be a very valuable treasure.
These are Kant's speculations, but they are close to the truth.
……
Tyre. Isai. Baron Maud's fiefdom is now in the midst of war. It's already September, officially the month of his calamity. However, he is worthy of being the most powerful existence among the world barons in the world of Isai, and he can easily suppress a demon from the abyss, attack wildly, and at the same time, he can also divide part of his spirit and make a projection to have a meeting with the other four world nobles.
The location, still in Tyre. Isai. In the same conference room in the fortress in Baron Maude's half-plane fiefdom.
"Ryan, the Dark Crown you offer doesn't seem to have an irresistible attraction to Baron Kant as you say?" Tyre. Isai. Baron Maud looked at Ryan unceremoniously. Baron Isse Cameron said.
"Kant's mother, Sophia, was the Radiant Holy Maiden of the Radiant God Cult of the Silver Plate Kingdom, how could the bloodline she gave birth to be attracted by such a completely dark law transcendent item as the Dark Crown? Ryan, my family's spy, has seen Baron Kant shine in his realm! "Victor. Isai. Baron Eno said equally unceremoniously.
The four nobles of the world all put the blame on Ryan. Isai. Baron Cameron, as Kant's father, does not seem to know Kant at all, and will take out an extraordinary object that has no appeal to Kant, in a vain attempt to lure Kant out of Lionheart.
"Potter and George!" Ryan. Isai. Baron Cameron's words were very blunt, almost literal.
The four world nobles had all dealt with him for a long time, so they naturally knew that Ryan. Isai. Baron Cameron is putting the responsibility on the two Viscounts Potter and Viscount George, who were promised by the five major families to perform in front of Kant.
"Show the crown!" Without waiting for the other world nobles to answer, Ryan. Isai. Baron Cameron once again left a cold and hard voice of four words, and then the figure was directly disillusioned, and he walked away like this.
