Chapter 403: Two Treatments
Du Pon snapped his fingers, and the mage's hand immediately prepared hot tea and snacks, and the three of them sat opposite each other around the round table.
"You don't believe the Titans are watching our world, do you? Richard pouted and sighed, and his first reaction was this.
Frankly speaking, his current prestige and reputation are indeed not enough, and he can't convince all the intelligent beings in the entire continent as soon as he opens his mouth.
But I have been questioned many times, and I am really a little impatient.
I was about to repeat all the words like a script, but the other party's reaction was very unexpected.
"No, no, no, on the contrary, I'm sure of that. The dwarf otter waved his hand repeatedly, "Introduce yourself, my name is Igne, and I am the high priest of the orc kingdom. ”
Richard and Du Pong glanced at each other, and they both found a bit of shock in each other's eyes. The High Priest is a powerhouse in the ancestral spirit system that is equivalent to that of a Magister.
"Disrespectful, disrespectful. Richard couldn't help but laugh, the other party was not quite the same as the image of the sacrifice he imagined.
"Do you think that a half-orc sacrifice should have a fur around his waist, a crown of feathers on his head, a strange bright oil paint on his face, and a war dance around the fire while roaring?"
Richard was seen through his mind and laughed awkwardly.
To be honest, it's not just him, most humans think of orcs as pretty much that.
But right now, people's leather shoes are shiny enough to reflect the figure, and the tuxedo is crisp, and he is the one who is not in good clothes.
"Times are evolving, and so are the orcs. But you humans always like to look at other races with old eyes, which is really arrogant. Igene quipped.
"I apologize to you, honorable priest. "Richard had to admit that, as the hegemon of today's world, human beings are indeed generally very arrogant.
In the eyes of most humans, elves live in the forest, dwarves are good at striking iron, and orcs are full of tendons and like to roar at the north wind.
But in reality, there is no diversity within any race.
Not to mention, there is a dwarf Robbie in Alpine Fort who never touches a forging hammer.
Igene didn't dwell too much on this, and after gently revealing it, he continued: "Actually, I don't have any doubts about your information, because we have already verified it from another angle. The purpose of visiting you is to piece together more truth through the communication between the two parties. ”
"What do you mean?" the lord's face suddenly became serious.
"Please also ask the two of you not to announce this matter to the public. The otter man picked up his teacup to hide his face, and broke out a news that was too heavy to be heavy, "Our old king, an old friend of Master Dupont, His Majesty Reinhardt was bewitched by the Titans!"
The fat old man who was drinking tea suddenly choked and coughed.
The saucer was not stable for a while, and the hot water splashed on his thighs, and he grinned for a while.
Richard sat as steady as a mountain, and his face was as calm as an ancient well.
In fact, Fili is not too keen on power, and he has always respected his adoptive father. But after discovering this by chance and admonishing him to no avail, he had to set off a coup d'état and replace it. "After all, the kingdom is always more important than the king. ”
Either way, none of this seems to have anything to do with Sinclair. Master Dupont sat up straight, his eyes as sharp as a falcon's, "If this is what you say, why should this boy go down to the streets to hide himself?" ”
"Because the coup d'état is essentially a change of power for whatever purpose, how can the new ruler allow the old king's bloodline to continue? ”
Igenne's words showed the experience of fighting with an academic mage like Du Pong.
"Actually, I'm kind of convinced. Richard rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "When I heard Sinclair say that he could hide from the little beggars on the street by swallowing coals to change his voice and paint ash to hide his complexion, I vaguely felt that something was not quite right—could that little trick be hidden from someone who cares?"
"And she was able to get in touch with Master Du Pon because she was looking for an opportunity to get a relic of the previous king. But with her little three-legged cat kung fu, she can actually find an opportunity, and this matter itself is too nonsense. ”
It is not so easy for a lord to trust a stranger he meets for the first time, even if he is as illustrious as a high priest.
But he understands a very simple truth - if there is an abnormality everywhere in a thing, it is most likely not that someone has been stupid, but because there is a deeper problem.
"If it weren't for Fili's help in covering it up, she would have been discovered a long time ago. Igene looked at the sleeping lion cub, "I also deliberately threw that relic to her, and then she suddenly disappeared, and Fili and I knew that someone had taken her." ”
He blinked, a little embarrassed: "This is not bad, it is the best ending." I'd like to ask you both that it's best to never let Sinclair know about it. ”
"Why?" asked Dupont.
"Who doesn't want their father to be a hero forever?"
This undeceivable expression of true feelings made Master Du Pong speechless.
"I'm really curious, why did the Titans go to such lengths to bewitch the intelligent beings of this world?" Richard shifted his ass to a more comfortable sitting position, "From the two examples I have so far, the reason why Beruni and Nero were attacked was because of the thirst for power. ”
"His Majesty Reinhardt is for life. "An old man who is old and dying, what can he do but life to make him mad?" The Titan promised to help him stay alive, and in return, he collected human magical knowledge for the Titans. ”
"Will the Titans continue to live?" Richard was surprised.
Judging from his current experience, the Titan's level is superior, yes, but he has never shown anything too unconventional.
And to save a life that is gradually decaying, there is no doubt that it involves the most fundamental and complex mysteries of life, and the difficulty is absolutely beyond imagination.
"In a sense, it can be counted. The corners of Igne's mouth curved slightly as if he was sarcastic, "His Majesty Reinhardt, who should have died a long time ago, stayed in the world for three more years as a dead spirit. When he was found, his body was covered with corpse spots, and he had to consume a lot of spices every day to cover up the stench. Can you imagine that he has been sitting on the throne of the kingdom for three years and is a dead man!"
"Isn't the point of the Titans gathering knowledge of human magic?" Dupon recovered from his shock.
After the fall of the Elven Empire, the human magic system developed and evolved on its own on the basis of some inheritance, and it is indeed very different from the Titans or Elves.
This is not a secret, and it is not difficult for anyone with a little insight to know.
"It's really weird, so I want to know. Igenne turned his head to look at Richard, "What do the Titans want of Nero and Beluni?"
"You may not believe it, but I really didn't lie to you. The Lord smiled wryly and said, "From what I know, it seems that the Titans have never asked for anything from them. ”
"It's closer than my father and mother, and I don't ask for anything in return. As for driving them crazy, it's also due to environmental factors, and the Titans can't be blamed entirely, and it's not the same treatment as Sinclair's hapless dad at all. ”
