The cave where Dandrien and the others were located was halfway up a hill that was not too high, and on the opposite side of this hill was a very steep peak, and the two figures on the top of the peak were watching the fierce battle in the woods from a high position.

As the saying goes, it's hard to get cold in high places. The biting winter night wind blew violently over the peak, and the fine slag of ice and snow in the wind hit Paul's face from time to time, causing a chill to penetrate his body.

However, the young aristocratic prince did not pay attention to the cold at all, and at the moment he was more concerned about another matter: "Uncle Stewart, who do you say will win?" ”

The view from the summit was excellent, but the gloomy sky and dense woods, which were beyond the eye of the eye, made Paul only able to see some figures swaying in the woods, no matter how closely he looked, which did not inform him of anything other than that the battle was going on.

The middle-aged Sanctuary standing behind Paul was naturally Stewart, and he only heard this Stuart say, "If we don't make a move, those church guys should be dead." ”

Paul smiled and said, "Of course we will, but that's not now. ”

Stewart thought for a moment and said, "Although that guy named Dandrion looks like he has been seriously injured, he is a Sanctuary after all, and he is a very strong Sanctuary, maybe we should let him die here." ”

Although the royal family and the church have been close allies for 300 years, the two behemoths have always been wary of each other, the church wants to intervene in the imperial succession, and the royal family wants to use the huge power of the church for its own purposes.

As a member of the great nobility of the empire, Paul's position was of course also on the side of the royal family.

Therefore, in the eyes of Stewart, who is loyal to the Paul family, it is undoubtedly a matter of making money by borrowing a knife to kill people here and letting these demons kill a holy domain powerhouse of the church.

"No, we can't do that." Paul shook his head lightly and said, "Uncle Stewart, you haven't heard from Francis and Princess Renee in detail, so you shouldn't have noticed one thing, that is, why did a Church Sanctuary powerhouse suddenly appear in this icy and snowy mountain range, and he happened to be accompanied by a team of church elites?" ”

Stewart was stunned for a moment and said, "Master Paul, what do you mean-"

"My meaning is obvious," said Paul, "this Dandrion and his men must have come for the treasure that His Highness the Grand Prince had carried." ”

"You must know that not long ago, this Dandrion once single-handedly rivaled the powerhouses of the three major sanctuaries in the castle, and even made two of them have to retreat to Riedma City."

"As far as I know, after that, His Majesty the Emperor quietly sent two more Sacred Domains here, so there should still be three Sacred Domain powerhouses by the Great Prince's side. But today Dandrion told me that His Royal Highness the Great Prince has fallen into the hands of the demons. ”

What does this mean? This shows that the three holy domains that were supposed to be guarding the side of the Great Prince have all been defeated or even killed, so who can have such strength in the White Peony Castle? This Dandrion, who is one against three, is obviously a very suspicious object. ”

Stewart thought for a moment and said, "So young master, do you think it was this Dandrien who killed the three Sacred Domain powerhouses?" ”

Paul shook his head and said, "No, in my opinion, although he is strong enough, he is not able to kill three Sanctuary powerhouses on his own. But don't forget that he told us in the cave just now that the Great Prince was captured by some of the demons who were still in the castle. What's more coincidental is that there happened to be a demon in the cave at that time, the mistress of the castle, Countess White. ”

"Since even the owner of the castle is a demon, there is no doubt that the White Peony Castle must be a secret base of the demon clan in the empire, and this countess is the pillow person of the eldest prince at that time, it is very likely that she was also aware of the existence of the treasure during that time, so she coveted the treasure."

"Of course, it is impossible for a single Dandrion or a group of demons to defeat the three Sacred Domain powerhouses and the many guards around the Great Prince, but-" Paul elongated his tone slightly, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little strange:

"What if Dandrien takes those elites under his command to cooperate with the demons? If that is the case, the defeat or even the death of the great prince is easy to understand. ”

Stewart was obviously taken aback: "People in the Church of Light will cooperate with the demons?" It can't be. ”

"Nothing is impossible," Paul said in a deep voice, "The Great Prince's strength was the strongest at that time, and if it weren't for Dandrion and the Demon Clan joining forces, it would have been impossible to defeat those masters around the Great Prince." And Dandrion had also said that the castle had been destroyed, and I couldn't think of any reason why a good castle would suddenly be in ruins, except for the peerless battle between a few Sanctuary. ”

Stewart took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, then why did Dandrien and the Countess escape?" ”

Paul pursed his lips and said, "The two sides are only a temporary cooperation, so the subsequent enmity between the two sides is naturally predictable, as can be seen from Dandrion's pursuit by the demons." As for the countess, most of them were hostages brought out by Dandrien. ”

I have to say that although Paul's conjecture is 108,000 miles away from the truth, it can be justified by itself, and it sounds reasonable and not too flawed.

Brain supplementation is really a very amazing ability.

"I see." Stewart nodded in admiration and said, "The young master is really smart, so what should we do now?" ”

Paul laughed, "Wait, wait until they're both defeated, and then we'll go down and clean up the mess." ”

"But His Royal Highness the Grand Prince—" Stewart couldn't help but remind Paul, as a powerhouse in the Holy Land, Stewart's status in the Paul family is actually quite high, so he also knows very clearly that in the next generation of throne battles, Paul's family has bet on His Royal Highness the Grand Prince.

For this reason, it was obviously better for Stewart to check on the safety of the eldest prince first than to watch a play here.

Paul smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, in fact, Uncle Stewart, even if we bring the eldest prince back, it is useless, his status in His Majesty's heart after losing the treasure must be greatly reduced, so we must find a way to take the treasure back, and then help the eldest prince complete the task, this is the best solution." ”

Stewart was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up: "So the treasure is actually in this Dandrion's hands?" No wonder this group of demons is going to hunt him down like crazy. ”

"That's right." Paul nodded and said, "Just now in the cave, I found a small box beside Dandrien, although this box does not look heavy, but it is also a bit troublesome to carry. Who would run around on the run with a small box that could slow down their speed? Unless there was something in that box that he had to carry. ”

"So although Francis's mouth was always tight and he didn't tell me anything about the treasure, as soon as I saw that little box, I knew that it must be what we were looking for."

At this moment, the figures in the woods that were still flickering suddenly slowed down.

A smile appeared on Paul's face: "It looks like the battle is coming to an end. Alright, dear Uncle Stewart, let's go clean up and reclaim that treasure for His Royal Highness the Great Prince. ”
