That night, Agnes and Simon stayed at Rogier's house, intending to rest for a few days.

After a long argument with Rogil, Agnes finally agreed to her teacher to let her test the Pope's heart.

However, this time it was naturally impossible to use the Great Teleportation Array, which required a lot of precious materials, to use the hole card that required a lot of precious materials, and the last time it was used was only because I was afraid that the unknown erosion rift in the northern border would continue to spread or something else bad would happen.

Now Agnes was only going back to report the situation and trying to do so, so there was no need to use anything of this level in any way, and the only way to get there was to rely on ordinary horses and legs.

Before Agnes could fall asleep, there was a soft call from outside the door, followed by a less obvious knock.

Hearing this knock on the door, Agnes's heart moved, and she opened the door with joy, and saw a little girl standing timidly in front of the door, waiting.

"What are you looking for me?"

The little girl did not answer Agnes's words, but opened the palm of her hand to reveal a silver-white dragon ring hidden inside.

"The teacher asked you to send me something!" Agnes wanted to tease the little girl in front of her, so she smiled and quipped, "You look so cute, you must be the teacher's illegitimate daughter, right?"

The little girl blushed after being teased, and it took a long time to hold back the sentence "Please respect yourself Your Highness", which caused Agnes to laugh uncontrollably and did not care.

"Alright, let's go. Agnes grabbed the ring from the little girl's hand and urged her to leave, "Bring some dessert next time you come back, or I'll burn your eyebrows!"

The little girl was so frightened that she gave the ring to Agnes and stumbled away, much to the delight of an unscrupulous saint.

When there was no longer a little girl in her senses, Agnes closed the door with confidence, and stroked the silver ring in her hand with a satisfied glint on her face.

"Silver Dragon Talisman, the teacher is really willing to spend his blood, tsk......"

The dragon-shaped ring in her hand was made by the most skilled dwarven craftsmen by the neck scales that the founder of the Norse Empire, the founder of the Norse Empire, had asked for from the legendary silver dragon who knew all the defense techniques in the world more than 700 years ago, and was one of the best defensive magic in the world.

And she knew that the ring was one of the ten treasures that the teacher was proud of, and this time he had taken out all the things at the bottom of the box in order for Agnes to help him wholeheartedly test the Pope.

"But...... That poor duke doesn't need such a good thing, just a little assassin......"

Holding the priceless ring in her hand, Agnes's mind gradually came alive, and a large malicious smile began to bloom on her face.

"Besides, there was no agreement on what quality magic items to exchange for, right?"

Thinking of this, she had already naturally put the silver dragon talisman into her pocket, and then took out a tattered gray-black ring instead.

"This one seems a little too shabby...... Let's change it. ”

After all, Agnes was still reluctant to do so, and while talking to herself to convince her conscience, she thought about what she was going to do to fool Duke, so that he could not afford to have the slightest resentment.

After thinking for a long time, she suddenly had an idea, and took out a pen and paper from the drawer to write a letter to Duke.

..................

By the time Duke received Agnes' letter, it was ten days later.

Duke has been extremely busy these days, because of the favorable conditions of reception and many unprecedented advanced technologies, especially the infection of the steel giant beast that transcends the times, the representatives of those displaced people are extremely satisfied with this expedition, and they all said that they will talk about these things with their compatriots when they go back, and they will bring them to settle down in the near future.

Recently, Vlavich and Duke have devoted their energies to this, and since the day before yesterday, some of the nearby homeless tribes have begun to come in droves one after another, and even rushed here to register with the lone homeless people from other places.

This made Duke and his team work several times more than before, leaving early and returning late every day, coming home and sleeping upside down, and waking up tomorrow to repeat the work.

As Duke had just finished washing up and getting ready to go out that day, a guard suddenly approached and handed him an unusually fine envelope with gilded ornaments that Duke quickly reminded Duke of the letter from the Patriarch that Minis had brought.

How could the Patriarch send me a letter?

Duke took the envelope with some confusion, tore open the seal, pulled out the letterhead, and saw the dog-like handwriting on it, and immediately understood that the letter containing the envelope for the patriarch was the work of some unlucky saint.

"Hello Lord Duke, ......"

Seeing such a polite beginning, Duke immediately felt a little bad.

Hurriedly skimming through the entire stationery, Duke has fully understood that he has been cheated again!

The things mentioned in the letter were quite ordinary, but Lord Rogier had given him another super-powerful ring, ten times stronger than the one from Minis last time, and it was also an old antique, worth a fortune or something.

Then he changed his words and said that in order to prevent Duke from not having enough mental strength and taking good care of his body, he couldn't use such high-level things.

He also said that this thing has been seen by many nobles and high-ranking members of the church, and the identity information is too obvious like the previous ring, and at a glance, it is clear that it is something sent by Rogil.

Anyway, it's the same set last time, and in the end, I just said in a few words what is for temporary storage, and I used one of the things on my body that is temporarily most suitable for Duke as collateral.

Seeing this, Duke only felt a mouthful of old blood in his chest and did not vomit unpleasantly, and after seeing the end, he hurriedly took the envelope and searched for a long time before taking out a round object the size of a small thumb from the innermost.

When he looked closely, he found that it was actually a small bead with no characteristics, but this time it was changed to red, but it still couldn't change the fact that this thing was cheap.

"Agnes, I'm at odds with you!"

Duke roared inwardly, just wanting to throw the thing in his hand far away so as not to be upset.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that the beads in his hand began to become a little hot, and after a while, the heat became so hot that he could barely hold it.
