Chapter 250: Hidden Feelings
Cassius's information shows his worth, whether the ugly-looking monkey is dangerous or not, or if he has other agendas, but at least that's what Givin needs right now.
Given's tone finally softened.
"Deal, you can enter the Mage Fort to trade later. ”
Cassius the Evil Ape nodded in satisfaction, and then demanded it inch by inch.
"Then can you grant me one last request, I want to rent a place to live in the Mage Castle, I think I'll be staying nearby lately. ”
"No, I can't. This time, Jiwen refused without hesitation, "If you want to stay, you can find a way outside the castle yourself." "In order to ensure the safety of those mages inside the mage fort, Givens is not prepared to take any risks.
The evil ape shrugged, gave up one last request, and left.
This is the end of the intelligence deal negotiations. Cassius the Evil Ape took the remains of the Batman and his rock lizard, while the Mage Castle closed its gates, busy repairing the wounds left by the battle.
However, Given's lore of defeating the Batman in front of the gates of the Mage Fort attracted the attention of everyone in the Mage Castle, and the builder of the Mage Fort once again became the legend of saving the Mage Castle.
Birdman Quintus, on the other hand, was very interested in the battle, so when Govin returned to the goblin second-hand shop, he kept surrounding Given, asking why Given's transformation into a flaming monster that could fly with wings in an instant.
Unable to stand the Birdman's constant temptation, Givens finally placed the Burning Spirit on the table.
As soon as the surging glow of the Burning Spirit appeared in the room, it caught the eye of Quintus and the old goblin Harvey. The old goblin Harvey gently swiped his quivering fingers across the surface of the Burning Spirit's blade, his eyes lit up.
"It's perfect, if I were a swordsman, I would definitely be willing to take all my money and exchange it for a weapon like this. ”
Unlike Harvey, who pays attention to details, Quintus cares about something else.
"Could it be that this sword fills you with power?"
Givenn nodded, and then showed Harvey and Quintus the power of a burning spirit. The red-black flames poured out from the blade and enveloped Jiwen's body, releasing terrifying power.
Seeing that the red and black flames obediently obeyed Jiwen's manipulation, the ** fire in Quintus's heart was ignited. He asked impatiently, "How did you get this sword?" ”
Even Quintus could see that there was an unusual relationship between this sword and Jiwen. Those red and black flames are the power that only the owner of the sword can ignite.
"I went to the temple of Hetoth, the god of fire, who built it for me. ”
Given's telling a white lie. He didn't want too many people to know the secrets of the Godsmith's Forge. And Hetos's strength is obvious to all, and in the imagination of others, it is not impossible for him to create such a sword.
"It's not easy for you to get such a sword from petty Hetos. Harvey remembers that Hetos had always been a demanding equivalent trader, and it wasn't easy to get him to pay for free.
Quintus shook his wings and remained silent. After hesitating for a long time, he asked in a low voice, "Jiwen, can you help me beg Hetos to get such a sword too." Even if it's only one-tenth of the power of your burning spirit, I'm satisfied. ”
Looking at Quintus's ridiculous appearance of nervously waiting for an answer, Given's sudden thought of a task that required Quintus to do, so he
"If you agree to one of my requests, I will help you to ask the Vulcan God. ”
As soon as he heard Given's relent, Quintus immediately clapped his chest.
"Just say it. ”
"You can't think of a way to let the old elf Morris know and believe what Cassius just said. ”
Hearing Given's request, Quintus looked embarrassed. It's easy to reveal news to the elves of another world, but it's not so easy to convince Morris that sensitive news like this isn't a trap or a temptation.
But Given's proposal was tempting enough for Quintus. For the sake of that sword, even if he wanted to break his head and design even the most complicated trap, he had to find a feasible way. Convince the old summoner that there is a sandman named Valley who is in one of the sewers of the Elven King's capital.
"This is on me, you wait for my news. ”
Although Quintus may not be reliable at times, this time Quintus did deliver on his promise.
After stumbling upon Valley's whereabouts, Maurice was convinced of the reliability of the news, and even took the time to visit the Nightwoods, the King's Sword Residence, to meet his old friend, the Chief Sword Wielder Brown.
Two days later, in the sewers of the Ivy League area of the royal capital, Valé with two children was forced into a dead end in the sewers by Blanc.
"Child, I advise you not to force me to do it, otherwise I can't guarantee the safety of those two children. ”
Facing the shiny long sword "Moonlight", Bai Langsi reminded expressionlessly.
Looking at Brunce's cold, calm gaze, Vallet held out for a full quarter of an hour.
If she was alone at the moment, even if she was desperate, she would swing the "moonlight" towards the sword of the king in front of her, who was known as the strongest. But when she heard the faint trembling sound coming from behind her, she finally gave up and let go of the moonlight.
She didn't want to hurt the two children behind her because of her own reasons.
"Very well, you guys can honestly follow me to a place now. ”
With that, Brunce turned around and prepared to leave. However, seeing that Blaence did not call his subordinates to arrest him, Valley suddenly became alert.
"Where are you going to take us? I could go to the prison in the Nightwoods, but these two children are innocent. ”
Hearing Valley's question, Blaze stopped and asked rhetorically, "If it were just to arrest you, would I have come to this filthy place alone today?" ”
"You're trying to kill us. A thought burst into Valley's mind, and she immediately picked up her sword again.
"If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead. ”
After saying that, Blaise turned his head and looked at Valé, and this time Valé noticed that the indifferent face of the chief sword-wielder of the King's Sword finally had something different.
"I'm just doing a friend a favor and getting you to him safely. ”
"Who is it?" asked Valé, puzzled. In the royal capital of the elves, she has no friends other than the missing blacksmith Copperbeard.
"You've seen him at the Royal Call Academy. Blaence didn't answer directly, but subtly hinted at Valley.
Valley soon realized who the friend Brunce was referring to, the thief who had taken the Book of Destiny from the Mingsa family.
"Hmph, does that guy think this will atone for his sins? Valley didn't care about the help that Maurice guy could provide, and despised his almost hypocritical behavior.
Listening to Valé's tone, Blaise was a little unhappy, and he interrupted Valé to continue.
"Child, you should respect him. ”
"Why should I respect a thief who ruined the Mingsha family?" Valley asked rhetorically, raising her voice. She waited for an argument with Whites, but Browns' next words left her completely confused.
"Guy who doesn't understand anything, you tell me how many children your great-grandmother Theresa had. ”
"One. But why are you asking this?"
"And how many children did your great-grandfather Cava have?" asked Blais, who did not give Valé a chance to question at all, in an unquestioning tone.
"Of course there's only one!"
Valle felt like she had been fooled, and she even wanted to curse loudly. But when she saw Blasénce's earnest, almost terrifying look, she kept her mouth shut, for she knew that if she interrupted Blancs now, he would not hesitate to kill her and the child behind her.
"But your great-grandfather had four wives and had a child before he died. Don't you descendants never find it strange? ”
Hearing Brunce's question, Valley was stunned. She was not familiar with the stories of her ancestors, but she still vaguely knew that her great-grandmother married an independent prince who was too old to go to the grave for the sake of the continuation of the family, and then gave birth to a son to the old prince who was about to die. Eventually, the old prince died, and before he died, he divided his wealth and land in two, leaving half to his relatives and the other half to the Mingsha family.
Although there seems to be something hidden in this story, what does this have to do with yourself?
Bruce saw the look of surprise on Valley's face, and he knew what she was thinking, so he continued to deal a fatal blow to Valley's faith.
"Since that incident, the Mingsha family has lived a stable life for a while, and then more than two hundred years ago, your family fell again, and everything was slowly taken away. I'm right. ”
Vallet nodded, it was the most painful part of her memory. Since her grandfather, one disaster after another has followed. The Desert Princes devoured what was left of the Mingsha family like mad dogs.
"Do you know why?" asked Blanchard.
"We failed to get back our destiny and the book of destiny, and completely lost the protection of our ancestors......"
This was the answer Valé had said countless times, and it was the answer that the elders of the family had told her. The tragic fate of their family is inseparable from those things that have been lost.
"Nonsense, if the protection of the ancestors is useful, then this kingdom will not need me to spend my whole life guarding it at all. Let me tell you, there is only one reason why the Mingsha family has suffered misfortune in the past two hundred years. ”
Braunste paused, looked Valley in the eye, and then uttered the secret he had been hiding in his heart for a long time.
"Because the guy who has been secretly guarding the Mingsha family fell into madness two hundred years ago, and his name is Morris. ”
"Why did he do that? ”
Vallet could scarcely believe her ears, the greatest enemy of the Mingsha family's lore turned out to be the Guardian in the shadows.
"Why? Haven't you guessed yet? Brunce sneered, and then uttered the terrible answer.
Because Teresa is his lover and there is a child between the two of them. ”
