White-green lettuce, golden slices of bread, and a finger-wide bacon roll with some slightly sour cheese sauce.

When this salad-like main course is served, the dinner is coming to an end.

And when another soup was served, and everyone had tasted it, the young king signaled that the feast was over.

It wasn't as grand as it was at the beginning, and there was a wait, and you had to walk through a long slope and castle corridor, but some honorifies to the king were still needed.

And this time, it was the Chancellor of the Exchequer who spoke.

After that, the emerald nobles left one after another.

However, Dean and the Chancellor of the Exchequer were retained.

"Master Kuster, Lord Zelgaon, this way, please!"

The royal adviser who conveyed the invitation of the young king served as the guide.

After passing through the courtyards and corridors, the royal advisor stopped—it was still a small courtyard, but unlike the previous ones, there were noticeably more guards.

Especially the two strong men who exuded a silver breath made Dean look sideways.

A short, emaciated man with a goatee and gray hair, a long sword slightly larger than the standard one, which could only be carried on his back so as not to look cumbersome.

The other was tall, fat, bareheaded, with a beard, and two war hammers hanging from his waist like this, and the hammer head the size of a watermelon was secretly staggering.

"Excellency Elanke and Eli, good evening!"

The royal adviser and the chancellor of the exchequer greeted the two.

Dean was a little slower.

After all, for the silver of the two royal families, Dean had seen it for the first time.

In the history of the past. The silver of the Emerald royal family. With the fall of the Emerald Capital. And all of them died in battle, and Dean, who was already with the army of the Jade Grand Duke, had not seen these two.

"Lord Zelgan!"

"Hey, good job!"

The two royal silvers were quite friendly to Dean, nodding at the royal adviser and the chancellor of the exchequer, but smiling at Dean - obviously this is not his status, but his own strength.

Similarly, Dean smiled back with a smile in return.

And then. Continuing to be led by the royal advisor, he walked towards the room in the courtyard, where the young king, dressed in civilian clothes, was sitting in a chair in the room, looking over something.

And the gloomy face indicated the bad mood of the young king.

However, when I saw Dean walking in again, his gloomy face was slightly relieved.

"Zelganqing, come, sit here!"

The young king gestured to the chair beside him.

Dean sat down in the chair unceremoniously, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer walked naturally to the young king's side. Like the royal advisor, he stood with his hands down.

"The Kuster family. On the side of the king? ”

Dean glanced at the Chancellor of the Exchequer in slight surprise.

Apparently, the Kuster family sided with the young king, somewhat in surprise to him.

However, Dean was somewhat relieved to think that after the fall of the Emerald Capital, the Kuster family and some other large families were basically slaughtered.

"The big family and the top family of the Emerald Capital were slaughtered by Setty, partly because of their own wealth, and partly because of their unclear relationship with the royal family - whether it is the king, or a distant relative in the royal family, Seti will naturally not let one go in order to cut off the royal family of Jade!"

Thinking to himself, Dean was silent, he was waiting for the young king.

After all, it was the other party who took the initiative to invite him to come, so naturally there were some things.

Even if Dean already has a guess about these things, he still waits for the other party to take the initiative to say it.

Another ten minutes or so passed.

The young king laid down the parchment in his hand, his brow furrowed, and the anger in his eyes was palpable.

"Wood, go and get me all the people up there! I'm going to hang them! ”

The young king drank lowly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As soon as the royal advisor bowed, he walked out of the room with two pieces of parchment.

"Kusterqing, well done!"

After the royal advisors left, the young king turned his head to look to his side and said with a slight appreciation.

"This is what your subordinates should do!"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer bowed with a look of sincere fear.

Such a scene made Dean's eyes narrow slightly—he clearly remembered the previous transaction between the two.

Deceiving the superiors and deceiving the subordinates?

Dean commented in his heart.

However, looking at the young king's satisfied nod, Dean wisely said nothing.

At this time, the Jade King could never be the Jade King who had experienced the ruin of the country, and the other party's youth and mentality of being eager to prove something.

It also made Dean understand how to get along with each other.

So, Dean sat there without saying a word.

After the young king gave Kuster a series of rewards, he looked at Dean and said with a smile, "Zelgaon, Lead. Well done Nick - I'll give you half of the money I found in that guy's house! ”

"I don't need anything if I can...... Please give me one or two secret techniques that match me, preferably original or unique! ”

"Zelgangqing, maybe you don't know the amount of it, even half of it is more than 100,000 kimptons, which is far higher than half of the value of the secret arts!"

"Kimpton's amount is not a reason for me to change my original intention, compared to Kimpton, I prefer the original or unique book of secret art and secret tradition!"

Dean didn't show the sincerity and trepidation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but just said without being arrogant or humble.

For the young king in front of him, Dean knew what the other party wanted.

However, this does not mean that he needs to be without dignity.

For this, Dean once again thanked the relationship between the lord and the king - such a tradition. Dean praised it almost for the first time.

"The original, the only secret technique? The Emerald Royal Family's 'Speed of the Wind' and 'Power of the Hurricane' and their corresponding 'Swift Swordsmanship' and 'Hurricane Swordsmanship' are in the royal family's collection. All have originals and unique books. But...... Zelganqing, you don't have the status of a royal family, this is not easy to do! Otherwise......"

The young king had clearly misunderstood what Dean meant, and there was a slight groan in his words.

The secret art and secret inheritance of the royal family must have the identity of the royal family.

This is a foundation for all royal families.

Even Delong. Wolfe, who was also allowed to learn the secret art of the Emerald royal family after marrying the daughter of a distant relative of the royal family, was allowed to learn the secret art of the Emerald royal family - of course, the identity of the daughter of the distant relative of the royal family was another matter.

But. The superficial article is good enough, but it is necessary.

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood! I don't need the secret techniques of the royal family, I just need the secret techniques and secret traditions that fit my own - biased towards strength and physique! ”

Dean saw what the young king was trying to say, and immediately spoke first.

He was reluctant to marry the daughter of a distant member of the royal family.

"That's right!"

The young king looked at Dean with some regret.

As the king of Emerald, he naturally hopes that Dean is his own - blood relations and other relationships have been criticized among royal families and extended families for countless years, but at critical moments, people are still willing to believe in people close to their blood, which is a kind of nature, not that it can be ignored.

"陛xià. I remember that in the Royal Library, there seems to be a secret technique that meets the requirements of His Excellency Zelgaon? ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer standing aside. After Dean refused the financial reward, he immediately began to think about it - although the Chancellor of the Exchequer was a little surprised by Dean's refusal of these financial rewards, he was more happy in his heart; Because, he knew very well that in the face of such a huge amount of financial reward, if Dean could refuse, then there would be no conflict with him at all.

And a trader who does not have conflicts clearly has the potential to be an ally.

And having an ally like Dean is obviously a good thing for him.

Therefore, the Chancellor of the Exchequer immediately smiled when he thought of something.

"Is there one?"

The young king was a little puzzled, and after thinking for a long time, but still without an answer, he couldn't help but ask the chancellor.

"These are the things that only older people remember—the 'Troll Power' is famous because of the Marquis of John, but the source of the 'Troll Power' is the library of the Emerald Royalty, and it was your father who gave it to the venerable Marquis, but the Marquis of York did not take the original, but only copied it!"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer said with a smile.

"Is there such a thing? Then Zelganqing ......"

The young king muttered to himself, and then, turning his head to look at Dean, almost before the young king could finish his words, Dean stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!" ”

"Zeerganqing, you really like secret arts, secret legends!"

Seeing Dean's slightly eager appearance, the young king couldn't help but smile.

"Only a person like His Excellency Zelgan, who likes secret techniques and secret traditions, can reach his current strength at such an age!"

The Chancellor of Finance on the side echoed one after another.

"Well, that's right! By the way, Zelganqing, can you tell me more about the previous 'pseudo-contract'? ”

The young king nodded, and then, seemingly casually, asked.

Such a seemingly casual question, although not a hidden murderous intention, but also a hidden intention - the young king needs Dean to prove that he has nothing to do with the Ring of Morbius.

And in this regard, it is naturally difficult for Dean.

"Before I took over what is now Zelgaon, it was the domain of a Baron de Fendi...... And in the collapsed ruins, I found a lot of things, most of them worthless, but not all of them waste - like the 'pseudo-contract'! ”

Dean, who had been prepared for a long time, did not hesitate at all, and talked about it.

Of course, half true and half false.

However, it can definitely stand up to verification - after all, it is a fact that Delfendi came from the Ring of Möbius, and it is also a fact that this 'pseudo-contract' technique came from the Ring of Morbius.

The only thing that is false is that in Zelgaon, Dean did not receive a 'pseudo-contract'.

But who can prove it?
