Lord of the Oasis Chapter 564: .Treasures of ancient ruins
"Ancient ruins? Treasures coveted by the five major families at the same time?" Kant's expression was a bit strange, half a smile. He knows very well that the world nobles are standing behind the five major families. If these two guys really find something amazing and are admired by the five world nobles at the same time, they will be able to run here safely and make a refuge. Does he look like Kant?
"If it's not the treasures that the five nobles look up to, but the protection that the four top earls and Carl Cameron look up to, the words of these two guys can stand up to scrutiny. Judging from the fact that the two guys tried to infiltrate Lionheart City with the four major families, they really regarded their family as the same level of existence as the Cameron family and the four top earl families in the Principality of Lions." Kant then After thinking about it from another angle, I found that the words of these two guys are not necessarily false, trying to deceive him.
"Then tell me, where is the ancient ruins you found? What are the treasures you found? Did you bring them?" Kant looked down at the two top viscounts of the Principality of Lions, and carefully observed The expressions on their faces, when Kant was questioning, Viscount Potter and Viscount George were calm and natural. Such performance often represents openness in the heart, and of course the possibility of superb acting skills is not small - Kant is more inclined to the latter.
Viscount Potter considered his words for a while before answering Kant's question: "Your Majesty Kant, the ancient ruins we found were at the bottom of the River Resniston, and that place happened to be my manor and Georgetown. The junction of the Viscount's manor. It was one of my soldiers who accidentally fell into the water and sank into the entrance of the ancient ruins that he was lucky enough to find in the Resniston River. Then I quietly sent my men to inquire. However, my actions were concealed. He has won other nobles, but he did not hide it from Viscount George. You should know that he has always regarded me as his greatest enemy, and considered me to be his greatest competitor for the sixth earl of the Principality of Lions."
Viscount Potter paused for a while before continuing: "So, 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 also unreasonably sent a team to quietly explore the ancient ruins - our strength is similar, I can't do anything about him. I know he wants to take the ruins before me. Good stuff. At that time, we were still in a fiercely competitive relationship, and because of him, I was forced to order my family's expedition team to speed up the progress, even if it took a little risk."
Viscount Potter spoke for a long time, and glanced at Baron Kant sitting high on the main seat. Seeing that he was listening very seriously, he immediately continued: "The ancient ruins are not so easy to explore. The dangers in it are often unheard of and unseen. In the ancient ruins, many places are dark, and even some places cannot be illuminated by the flaming torches. Sometimes, from the terrifying darkness, jumping A terrifying demonized creature has appeared. Your majesty, you built a heroic city on the top of the Sangwana Mountains, and you must know the horror of the ferocious demonized creature. None of the demonized creatures in the ruins are more common than the common ones. Ferocious and weak. Sometimes, a large tree that looks ordinary, its branches will suddenly bind the soldiers who are close to it, and then grow terrifying rhizomes from the branches, as long as a while, it is Soldiers at the peak level of knights will be sucked up by the terrifying branches into a human skin wrapped in bones."
After a pause again, Baron Potter took a sip of the drink served by the attendant and continued: "It is precisely because of this that the first team sent by Viscount George and I are among the ancient ruins and have not yet explored halfway. The whole army was wiped out. At that time, Viscount George and I really realized the difficulty of exploring the ancient ruins. The entrance to the ancient ruins happened to be at the junction of Viscount George and me. In order not to repeat the mistakes of the past, I negotiated with Viscount George, and finally reached an agreement and signed an agreement. We will send soldiers together to form a second expedition team, and continue to explore carefully..."
Kant sat on the main seat, listening to Viscount Potter's spittle, and suddenly said: "Hard, Viscount George went 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 a heart.
The two Viscounts came to "seek Kant's asylum", so they dared not go against Kant's will, and Hader took Viscount George out smoothly.
"Viscount Potter, please answer me, what date did you sign the agreement with Viscount George? How many pieces of parchment were written in your agreement? Also, what color and size was the treasure you obtained? How? Where is it now? And be careful, stop spitting on nonsense! Answer my questions directly!"
Hearing Kant's question, Viscount Potter's scalp became numb, and cold sweat dripped from his face.
"This...this..." Viscount Potter didn't start to eloquently at all, stammered and didn't answer a single question.
"My question is difficult to answer?" Kant's voice became slightly indifferent.
"No... No, Your Majesty Kant, I'm recalling carefully! You know, people in high positions like us have to deal with many things every day!" Viscount Potter racked his brains, thinking hard answer Kant's question.
"I remember... Your Majesty Kant, I remember it!" Viscount Potter seemed to really recall the answer to Kant's question, and he quickly said: "His Majesty Kant, I and George The date when the Viscount signed the agreement was a year ago, June 18! It has been more than a year since the agreement was written on six pieces of parchment. The treasure we obtained was a black crown, the size of which was larger than ordinary The crown is about to be bigger, and it is now in my manor."
"Dund, you take Viscount Potter to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion, and come back in five minutes!" Kant instructed another Swadian royal knight.
"According to the order, my lord!" The Swadian Royal Knight took the order and took Viscount Potter directly out of the Lionheart City Lord's Mansion.
"Newd! Go and bring Viscount Harder and George back!" Kant pondered the words of Viscount Potter. After listening to Viscount Potter's description, Kant once again ordered another Swadian royal knight.
When Viscount George returned to the main hall of the city lord's mansion, Kant asked him the same question.
In the beginning, Viscount George, like Viscount Potter, was a little embarrassed. After a while, Viscount George replied: "Your Majesty Kant, the date I signed the agreement with Viscount Potter was four months ago. , May 17th. The agreement was written on two pages of parchment. The treasure we obtained was a black crown, a size larger than a normal crown, which is now in the estate of Viscount Potter. ."
Kant said with a smile: "It seems that Viscount Potter is right, Viscount George, you do regard Viscount Potter as your biggest competitor to become the sixth earl of the Lions Principality. For the matter between you two, remember Be firmer! Viscount Potter doesn't remember the agreement you signed four months ago, he said the date you signed the agreement was a year ago, June 18. Viscount George, you must remember June 18 last year. What kind of agreement did you sign with Viscount Potter?"
Viscount George suddenly turned pale when he heard Kant's words.
Last year on June 18, Viscount George did sign an agreement with Viscount Potter. And it is more important, an agreement that was not implemented in the end.
…
"Potter, you idiot, the last agreement we signed was on May 17 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 immediately complained that Viscount Potter was broken.
"Hey, George, you stupid pig! How dare you say it! You don't even think about it, are ancient ruins so easy to explore? From the time we signed the agreement to the time we finally got the treasure, it naturally took longer. Only the treasures of this kind will be more precious, and will attract Baron Kant to leave Lionheart City!" Baron Potter became angry and accused George in turn: "Besides, the agreement we signed on June 18 last year was originally a joint effort to embezzle Baron Kant there. The agreement on the salt mine in the desert of Lun is at the right time. When facing Baron Kant, I can't help but think about it! So, George, you are a stupid pig! You caused me to lose the ability to train 30 people. The precious resources of the great knight! The promises of the five major families are enough to make up for the losses I have suffered in the ancient ruins!"
…
Kant, having expelled the two Viscounts of Southshire who proved to be deceiving him, thought to himself: "What is their purpose? From the words of the Viscount Potter, especially when he spoke of the entire army of his own expedition. Judging from the heartache that was inadvertently revealed when it was destroyed, the ancient ruins, 9 out of 10, really exist. And the so-called treasure - a black crown, the two of them said very much the same thing, obviously if it hadn't been discussed earlier Well, if it weren't for this black crown, it really does exist!"
"The five major families, and the two viscounts who were loyal to the vassal but put the treasure in the manor, this should be a conspiracy situation set up by them together, I might as well think along the line set by these guys: Because I coveted the treasure that was coveted by the five families at the same time, I agreed to protect the two viscounts, and then they must be required to offer the treasures - the two viscounts can tell me at this time, in short, there must be their reasons, the treasures are placed in Potter In the Viscount's manor, I need to pick it up in person." Thinking of this, Kant felt that he had almost guessed the opponent's conspiracy.
He will not forget that there are five other world nobles in Nanjun County who want to kill him. In Lionheart City, there are almost a large number of Swadia royal knights, Sarion lion knights, and Enfass empire mages guarding them. Even if the five world nobles come together, Kant is not afraid, but if there is a lion heart City, if he did not bring the army and faced five world nobles, Kant was not sure that he would survive.
"Wait for 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 a military training, it is true. The battlefield is full of dead people all the time. It’s just that the time of the war is many times longer than the previously planned battlefield.” Kant thought: “In this way, there may be a chance to see the so-called black crown, What kind of treasure is it that can make the five world nobles believe that they can attract me with it, and go get it in person."
Kant understands that if he is really attracted, he will first observe the treasure with his will projection. Only if the treasure is really attractive enough, he can take it himself. As the veteran nobles, the five world nobles will naturally use will projection, and will also take into account Kant's ability. Therefore, that black crown should really be a very valuable treasure.
These are all conjectures of Kant, but they are close to the truth.
…
Baron Tyr Isaiah Maud's fief demiplane is now in the midst of war. It is now September, officially his disaster month. However, he is worthy of being the most powerful being among the world barons in the world of Yisai. He easily suppressed a demon from the abyss, attacked frantically, and at the same time was able to separate out part of his spirit and create a projection. A meeting with four other world nobles.
The location is still in the same conference room in the fortress in Baron Tyr Isai Maud's half-plane fief.
"Lion, the dark crown you provided doesn't seem to have an irresistible attraction for Baron Kant as you said?" Baron Isaiah Cameron said.
"Kant's mother Sophia~IndoMTL.com~ was the glorious saint of the Shining God Cult of the Silver Plate Kingdom. How could the bloodline she gave birth be attracted by the dark crown, which is completely the extraordinary item of the dark law? Ryan, my family The spy, but he has seen Baron Kant's radiant field!" Baron Victor Isaiah Ino said rudely.
The four world nobles all put the blame on Baron Ryan Isaiah Cameron. As Kant's father, he seems to know nothing about Kant. Unattractive supernatural objects, trying to lure Kant out of Lionheart City.
"Potter and George!" Baron Ryan Isaiah Cameron's words were very blunt, almost literal.
The four world nobles have dealt with him for a long time, and they naturally know that Baron Ryan Isaiah Cameron is putting the responsibility on the two who were promised by the five families to perform in front of Kant. Viscount Potter and Viscount George.
"Show the crown!" Without waiting for the other world nobles to answer, Baron Ryan Isaiah Cameron left a cold and hard voice with four words again, and then the figure immediately disillusioned, and he just walked away.
