Chapter 219: The Twilight Deal
ο»Ώ
A look of disappointment flashed across Brunce's face, and he looked back at the window and sighed.
"It's impossible to catch up with her now. β
"Even you can't help it?" said Morris, who was rarely so readily admitted his shortcomings as the head of the King's Sword.
"You've been hiding in this building for too long, Morris. Brunce frowned and began to count. "Not only is she Teresa's great-granddaughter, the last heir of the Mingsha family, but also the most famous robber and assassin in the Falling Star Desert, "Shadow Vale", and it is not easy for even the King's Sword to catch up with her. β
Brown's words completely shocked Professor Morris. It had been a long time since he had been exposed to the world outside the academy, and in his opinion, as a descendant of heroes, especially the descendants of the Mingsha family, he should not engage in such a notorious profession.
"Why would she do it?"
"Probably vanity as a hero. β
Brunce gave him an incomprehensible expression. In all fairness, the sand princes in the desert did not rule as leniently and fairly as the elves, and the sand people rebelled one after another. Valley often robbed the desert spar caravans belonging to the Sandman Princes, and then distributed the proceeds to the poor tribes and low-level elves near the border.
As the only descendant of the former founding heroes, the Sword of the Kingdom and the Frontier Legion have little to do with her. Even the prince of the sandman didn't dare to kill her, so he could only occasionally beat a little stuffy stick, and then gritted his teeth behind his back. Fortunately, she is only one person, and the robbery income is limited after all.
However, due to his influence on the hedron trade, Valley is probably the most hated person by the Sandman Princes and a large family in the royal capital.
Jiwen listened to it, but his heart was extremely nervous. Because this time Brunce didn't seem to care about the stranger next to him at all, and chatted with Morris on his own. I don't care about the leakage of the conversation.
Givens was not the only one who had the same idea, but Morris suddenly became alert.
"But, old friend, how did you suddenly think of putting aside the safety of the whole kingdom and running here to talk to me about this? β
"Isn't Valley Teresa's family?" Blaence seems to be familiar with the secrets of hundreds of years ago.
"Well, what else?" Professor Morris stared at Whites' mouth, as a teammate and foe who had partnered countless times, Morris knew that what Whites had not said was the most important.
Facing the old partner's questioning, Bai Langsi's eyes blinked, and finally confessed: "She came to the royal capital this time to publicly report the smuggling and human trafficking of the Zisong family and the prince of the sandmen, Aquidan, and the report has been handed over to Yelin and Yuqian at the same time. Don't doubt that as a descendant of the Seven Heroes of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, she has this right. And she also claims to have the most important evidence. β
"Nonsense......" Morris's brows furrowed, even if he didn't care about the world, he knew that the Purple Pine family was in full swing, and Aquitaine had dominated the desert for many years. To bring down these two behemoths, it's not just as simple as suing the emperor.
"Some time ago, a series of cases of missing girls have already caused a lot of trouble in the royal capital, and this time the evidence brought by Vallei proves that Zisong and Aquidan are both involved in this matter, so it is very tricky. β
As one of the old guys who knows the inside story of King's Sword, Maurice knows what it means. The King's Sword should not be ignorant of the inside story of the case, but under the trade-off, it can only pretend not to see it. Now, Valley is going to lift the curtain and reveal the truth. Now that those political behemoths in the royal capital have been forced to do anything.
By this time, Maurice finally understood the purpose of Blas's trip, and he asked almost hopelessly.
"How serious the situation is. β
"I guess Vallet came to you for help. She can probably cope with the troubles of the desert, but here, it is not enough. Did you give her any artifacts or hints?"
Blaze seemed to answer the question, but Morris already knew everything from Blanc's words. The bow and arrows against Valley have been wound and are just ready to fire.
"She just came to me to ask for the Book of Destiny. β
By this time, Maurice had understood Vallet's thoughts, and the stubborn girl only thought that he was a shameful thief, and did not even think of seeking his own help. I just want to borrow the Book of Fate to deal with the troubles in the royal capital.
This girl is too naΓ―ve, and the quiet and peaceful king is far more dangerous than the barren desert. Professor Morris made his decision almost immediately.
"I'm going to find her now. β
Brunce didn't say anything, but stretched out his left hand with a ring in the palm of his hand.
Years of tacit understanding made Morris take the ring without hesitation, and at the moment when Morris took the ring, Brunce reminded in a whisper: "I will give that child a chance, and you can only rely on yourself for the rest." β
"Shadow Vallet" is still nominally the kingdom's most wanted criminal, and in the border desert, the King's Sword can be ignored, but in the royal capital, no one can turn a blind eye to her, and while Vallet may be better off in the prison of the Night Forest than against the Assassins, it is certainly not the outcome that Maurice wants.
Morris knew that this was the biggest concession Bruce could make, but after a while, he made a new demand.
"Can you give this kid one more chance?"
"Is this a request or a bargain?" Brown's tone was subtle.
"Deal. β
Morris did not hesitate in his reply, and when he heard his answer, Blasporus did not say anything, and acquiesced in the conversation.
Seeing that Blaze did not refuse, Maurice reassured, straightened his shabby robes, and then took out a bunch of keys and threw them in Adella's hand.
Adelia looked at her mentor in bewilderment, and then heard Professor Morris's terrible command.
"My research is in the secret room behind the bookcase in my bedroom. Feel free to take a look, and if I can't come back, I'll leave it all to you for safekeeping. β
After arranging the aftermath of his only student, Professor Morris walked briskly back to his research room, prepared the props and equipment for going out, and left his students and visitors in the hall.
In this difficult free time, Givens and Adelia exchanged opinions in a whispering and rapid manner.
"Professor Morris is ready to save Valley. Looks like I didn't come back at the right time. β
After listening to the conversation between the two old men, Adelia sighed a little unwillingly. So much has happened in the short distance from the gates of the academy to Professor Morris's laboratory. The questions she had prepared to ask the professor had not yet been asked, and Professor Morris had to hurry out to go through the test of life and death.
"Actually, I'd like to meet the mysterious Valley with the professor, and I still have a few questions I haven't had time to ask her. β
Of all the people present, apart from Professor Morris, only Givens was most concerned about Valley's life and death. She is the last heir of the Mingsha family, and if she doesn't find out the secret of Excalibur's fate before she dies, then some things will be buried forever, and he may never discover the true power of fate.
"Another secret that can't be told?"
Almost subconsciously, Adelia asked the mantra. But this time, Givens candidly told the reason.
"It has something to do with that sword of mine. β
