130, Celia, the princess of the Kingdom of France
Grudo, who was sitting on the side, couldn't hold back when he heard this.
What are you talking about?
Is it really good to question someone's identity when they first meet?
Although I doubted it, I didn't dare to say it.
Nishizawa calmly looked into Goldson's eyes and said for a long time, "When you first came up, you questioned my identity, it seems that Your Excellency Baron has no intention of seriously discussing business. β
Goldson smiled and said, "How can there be, once the growth agent is mass-produced, it will greatly increase the grain output, and anyone can see its value, who will refuse it?"
"I'm just interested in old surnames. The old fox-like baron laughed, "Studying ancient surnames is my hobby in my spare time. β
Grudo secretly wiped his sweat again.
Daddy, when did you get this hobby?
I remember your biggest hobby was visiting brothels?
I almost didn't bring back an illegitimate brother.
Nishizawa made a surprised expression, "Then it seems that His Excellency the Baron should know my family very well, and we can have a good exchange." β
Goldson smiled and nodded, "I know a little bit about it." β
He smiled inwardly and took the bait.
As long as you fall into my rhythm, sooner or later you will show flaws.
When the time comes, your true identity will naturally be able to be fished out!
Goldson took a deep breath and was about to throw out the questions he had prepared.
"Well, I'll ask you a few questions and see if you can answer them. Nishizawa said with a smile.
His words almost choked Baron Xueman to death.
Even with Goldson's sophistication, there was a momentary loss of concentration in his eyes at this moment.
Shouldn't I be asking?
Why is it suddenly reversed?!
But at this time, he could not seize the lead, so he had to say, "Okay, then I will ask Your Excellency Jersey to ask questions." β
At this time, Baron Xueman did not realize the seriousness of the problem.
He didn't know that sitting in front of him was the Undead Monarch who knew all the history of the Tomb Keeper's family.
The Great Tomb contains all the books about the Tomb Keeper's family, and Nishizawa has long remembered these in order to become a descendant of the Tomb Keeper family.
A smile tugged at the corner of Nishizawa's mouth.
Scheming with me, you're not qualified enough.
"Lord Goldson likes to study ancient surnames, so I guess you've heard of the four families that are as famous as my grave keeper family, right?" Nishizawa said with a smile.
Goldson was stunned, the muscles in his face froze.
He had written down the information about the grave keeper's family in the library of Snowman City overnight.
But he really doesn't know about the other ancient families!
In desperation, Goldson had to try his best to recall, "I know that the four ancient families are the Kraken, the Shadow, and the Mountain Behemoth......"
He didn't remember the last one.
Nishizawa applauded, "I am amazed by Lord Goldson's erudition, and I am afraid that ordinary people will not be able to say even one, let alone three." β
Goldson forced a smile, "So what's the last one?"
Nishizawa shrugged, "There are pitfalls hidden in my question, but there are actually only three. β
The muscles in Goldson's face stiffened.
Grudo laughed maniacally beside him.
"Second question, Your Excellency should know who the first Grand Duke of my grave keeper family is, right?" Nishizawa said with a sip of tea.
Goldson let out a sigh of relief, which he knew very well, and said it immediately.
"Then your Excellency must also know the first baron, the first viscount, the first earl, the first marquis of my grave keeper family, and the time when they obtained these titles, right?" Nishizawa said with a smile.
Goldson was struck by lightning.
Damn.
How to answer this?
Just say the name, but also the time?
Goldson took a deep breath and said with a stiff face, "Forgive me for my ignorance, I really don't know this, why don't you solve my confusion for me?"
He threw the question back to Nishizawa.
I don't believe you can say it!
You must be talking nonsense!
Nishizawa smiled indifferently and said the names of these nobles and the time they were knighted in one breath.
By the way, he also said the time of death of these nobles.
After speaking, he looked at Goldson with a dull face, "Your Excellency, do we still want to continue?"
Goldson had to smile wryly, "I retract my previous suspicions, Your Excellency is indeed a genuine descendant of the grave keeper family. β
"It's okay to doubt my identity, the grave keeper family has long since withdrawn from the stage of history, and we are now only active outside the aristocratic system. Nishizawa said nonsense.
"I see. Goldson lost his position, and at the moment he could only nod his head at Nishizawa's words.
Grudo was stunned as he watched from the sidelines.
The eyes that looked at Nishizawa were different.
I've never seen anyone who can beat my father in words!
This Lord Jersey is so awesome!
The guards who hid their bodies were also stunned.
He was Goldson's personal bodyguard and kept the Baron safe for ten years.
In his memory, the baron had always been comfortable and eloquent, but today he was defeated for the first time.
What kind of character is this Jersey?
"In that case, let's talk about business. Nishizawa said calmly.
Goldson didn't hide it this time, and said directly, "I want to buy the formula of the growth potion directly." β
Nishizawa shook his head, "Impossible, this is something that my family has only recently developed, and I won't consider selling the formula at this stage." β
"I can only guarantee you the lowest price for the finished product. β
Goldson was keenly aware of Nishizawa's words β at this stage.
That is, the formula may be sold in the future, but not now.
"Alright, let's use the Mole Village as a trading location in the future, and I will regularly send people over to receive growth potions," he pondered for a moment, "For 10,000 gold coins, I will buy the exclusive right to the growth potion for one year." β
"You shall not sell growth potions to others for a period of one year from today. Baron Xueman said seriously.
"No problem. Nishizawa readily agreed.
Goldson is a capable and intelligent man, and he seems to have no small ambitions, and he is most interested in working with such people.
"This is a draft contract, and if it's okay, we'll sign it now. Goldson handed over the papyrus deed.
Touching this slightly rough papyrus contract, it suddenly occurred to Nishizawa that his paper seemed to be useful in the realm of the Lane Kingdom.
But we can't do it all at once, or we'll be suspicious.
The paper business can be on the agenda, but not now.
Hastily wrote down his name, Nishizawa said, "The business is over, I want to talk to Lord Goldson about family life." β
After speaking, his gaze swept over the person next to him.
Baron Xueman understood, "You guys go out first, only me and Lord Jersey are left here." β
"Get out of the corner, if I want to do it, you're already under my control. Nishizawa said casually.
Goldson was shocked.
Unexpectedly, his own guards had also been discovered.
He winked, and the guard immediately withdrew from his hiding state, and also exited the parlor.
Now, only Nishizawa and Goldson were left in the living room.
"What do you want to ask?" said Goldson earnestly.
"Our grave keeper family has always been in seclusion, and most of the business is also taken care of by subordinates, but now it is different, the times are turbulent, and my sister-in-law must also come out to take care of the business himself. Nishizawa said something that didn't make a head.
Baron Xueman was stunned, not understanding what Nishizawa meant.
Even if Nishizawa told the story of the grave keeper family that he was the truth, he didn't believe that Nishizawa was a member of the grave keeper family.
He believed that Nishizawa was just a member of an organization, and that he had assumed the name of the Tomb Keeper family when he walked outside.
But when you suddenly talk about it, he's confused.
What about your horse, you say?
"I heard that His Majesty the King has the intention of moving the capital?" Nishizawa coughed lightly and said casually.
Goldson was shocked.
The king had only informed him of this by secret letter some time before.
Except for the most staunch king's faction, no one at all knew about it.
How did this Jersey know?
This must not be passed on.
The relocation of the capital is a major event, and once it is leaked, it will inevitably lead to great turmoil in the kingdom.
In the event of turmoil, the Roland Empire, which is watching from the sidelines, will not give up such an opportunity.
For a moment, Goldson even had the idea of killing people in his heart.
Nishizawa was suddenly confused.
Hold the grass.
I was talking nonsense.
You still say it?!
I'm really just making things out of nothing, secretly cloaking up warehouses, imagining out of thin air, and fabricating out of thin air!
"Your Excellency is not to be joking about such an important event. Goldson took a deep breath before he said slowly.
Nishizawa pretended to be calm, lightly tapped the table, and said slowly, "I'm just curious, why between King's Landing and Lionheart, the king chose Lionheart City instead of King's Landing, which is more suitable as the royal capital?"
"You must know that the name King's Landing is far more noble than Lionheart. β
King's Landing, isn't it the place where kings are coming?
Goldson was stunned for a moment, glanced at Nishizawa suspiciously, and then said, "The founding of the Ryan Kingdom chose Lionheart City as the royal capital, and as for King's Landing, it was the royal capital of the previous dynasty. β
Nishizawa chuckled in his heart.
Former?
His mind flashed through all the countries that had appeared on the continent of Terra.
Ended up locking up a country.
Kingdom of Fran.
After two kings, this huge kingdom comparable to the current Roland Empire quickly collapsed.
In the midst of its ruins, the kingdom of Ryan quickly rose to prominence and established Lionheart as its capital.
Unfortunately, there is very little literature about the Kingdom of Farland in the Great Tomb.
Nishizawa was almost 100% sure that Celia must have something to do with the Kingdom of Fran.
"What do you mean by Lord Goldson, the Kingdom of Fran?" Nishizawa asked knowingly.
"Be cautious. "This kingdom seems to be taboo, and Goldson changes color slightly when he hears Nishizawa say the name.
"I'm interested in it, I wonder if Lord Goldson can provide me with some books?" Nishizawa continued.
Goldson pondered for a moment, "There may not be one in the library of Snowman City, but if I can find it, I will definitely have someone send it over." β
"Well, then thank you, Your Excellency, Baron. Nishizawa stood up and bowed.
Goldson understood that this was meant to be a send-off, so he also stood up and saluted, and the two of them strode out of the meeting room at the same time.
Baron Xueman and his entourage got into a carriage and left Mole Village.
Nishizawa also takes Celia and Alice back to the Great Tomb.
As for the gold coins that Goldson brought, he gave some of them to the old village chief, believing that he would be able to use the money on his blade, and most of the rest was handed over to Hawthorne, who was stationed here, for safekeeping.
This little guy is the son of Hordo, and now that he has learned a lot of theoretical knowledge, it is time to give him the opportunity to practice.
After returning to the Great Tomb, Nishizawa continued his life as a demon king in seclusion.
As for the business with Baron Xueman, the big guy has already signed a contract, and the details are naturally handed over to his subordinates.
As one of the few normal humans in the Great Tomb, Nishizawa could only leave this task to Alice after thinking for a long time.
At this time, the Earl of the Abyss also learned a lot from Bonn and Alice, and after bidding farewell to Nishizawa, he returned to the Twin Mountains Palace and began the abyss farming business that Nishizawa commanded.
The Baron's speed did not disappoint Nishizawa either, and two days later he delivered a dozen books about the Kingdom of Fran.
The covers of these books are surprisingly consistent β all blank.
"It is estimated that the Book of the Former Dynasty is a forbidden book in the Lane Kingdom?" Nishizawa shrugged his shoulders and opened a book at random.
He spent an afternoon browsing through all the books, his empty eyes filled with sighs.
"Poor people, too. β
The history of the Kingdom of Fran is even more tragic than Nishizawa expected.
The first king was a marshal of the Great Empire, who overcame the chaos that followed the fall of the empire to establish the nascent kingdom of Fran.
Under his hard work, the kingdom flourished, and there were even many small principalities that wanted to be incorporated into the Kingdom of Fran.
And when the first king died of illness, disaster ensued.
Locust plagues, plagues, rebellions, and famines, four plagues turned the kingdom of France upside down.
The second king was a man of great talent, but he had no chance to show his ambitions, and after ascending the throne, he was busy fighting fires every day.
In the midst of a five-year disaster, a church rose to prominence.
Cult of the Dark.
They embraced the tenets of the Mother of Darkness and sprinkled their faith throughout the kingdom.
At first, the people believed it with the idea that they didn't want any money anyway, but as a result, the locust plague, plague, rebellion, and famine gradually disappeared, and everyone praised the Deep Dark Sect one after another.
Fran II was keenly aware that the Deep Dark Cult was secretly seizing the fruits of the royal victory.
Locust plagues and plagues were eliminated by the palace mages supported by the royal family in the study of potions.
The rebellion was personally led by him to quell the rebellion.
Famine, which was borrowed from other countries by the royal treasury.
He realized that the divine right must be broken, otherwise the divine power would be above the royal power.
He told the queen what he thought, and told his confidant ministers.
But they didn't know that they were helpless in the five years of disaster, and they also threw themselves into the deep darkness.
A month after the end of the five-year catastrophe, Fran II fell ill and died, and no one knew what he was sick with or cared about.
The queen was crowned queen and ordered the dogma of the Deep Darkness to be implemented throughout the country, and the Deep Darkness was made the state religion.
The soldiers guarding the border of the Kingdom of France were not religious, and under the leadership of the younger brother of FranΓ§ais II, they questioned the cause of the king's death and launched an attack on the royal capital.
The combat effectiveness of the army guarding the pass all the year round is off the charts, and it can almost directly push the royal capital.
Then there was the image from Celia's memory.
The black light shone in the sky, and the deep dark power of sacrificing the lives of all the people in the royal capital almost obscured the sky.
The invading army was also annihilated, and the Kingdom of France collapsed.
The dark power attracted by the royal family can only be absorbed by blood relatives, and after those ownerless dark powers destroyed everyone, they all burrowed into Celia's body.
The princess of deep darkness, from this.
