Chapter 19: The Codex
Ron put down the bronze box in his hand and turned his attention to the strange fossil.
The fossil was the size of an adult's skull, and the bone lines on it could be clearly seen. Since the monster was curled up and barely able to see the skull, it was difficult to identify what kind of monster it was.
But one thing is certain, this thing must have been an earth-shattering monster in its lifetime. Because even after so many years, there is still thunder on the fossil that is still condensed.
Ron was a little eager to see what kind of existence this was, but after hesitating for a moment, he still gave up this plan, he was afraid that like last time, he would make a huge movement, not only would it affect Owen and them, but also might recruit the guards of the imperial city, which would not be good.
So he suppressed the desire in his heart and returned to Owen. Looking at Owen, who was taken care of by his daughter, he was relieved and said, "Elder Owen, after this incident, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to the Chamber of Commerce during this time." The man of Zangar will take revenge, he has tried his best to get rid of you, and he will definitely do everything he can to bring you down. If you go back now, you'll be trapping yourself. ”
Ron knew that although Owen was a very enthusiastic person, he was also very arrogant in his bones, and he would face up to those who he didn't like, no matter when, he would confront him face to face, so he also made a lot of enemies.
Fortunately, he is strong in his own strength, he is always cautious in doing things, and he will leave a way back for himself at any time, so that too many people who want to get rid of him can only secretly hate itchy, but they are helpless.
Zangar is likely to be just the beginning, with his 20 years of forbearance, it is difficult not to think that it is very likely that he has already connected those people who have offended Owen, so I am afraid that this kind of words will be really unfavorable to Owen.
"Well, that's all I blame for my temper, and I know that I've offended a lot of people, but I just can't get used to the hateful faces of those dog-like people. Ahem......"
Owen coughed excitedly when he said those he couldn't get used to, and Ron had no choice but to stop it. Thinking in his heart, even if Zangar slandered Owen, if he couldn't find evidence, it would obviously not be so easy to stand on his feet, after all, Owen was also an elder. It's just that once Owen shows up, he can't guarantee that Nazangar will jump off the wall in a hurry.
"Elder Owen, I'll take this fossil first. As long as Nazangar can't find any evidence against you, I don't think he can do anything against you. Wait until you are injured and then leave here, I think there should be no problem, but the Chamber of Commerce I suggest not to go back yet, and there is no Zangar eyeing him, that is, he has colluded with the Demon Realm, it is enough to know that the Chamber of Commerce is not clean now, who knows
How many eyeliners of the demon world are there? ”
Owen's brows frowned slightly, feeling that Ron's was also reasonable, if he didn't return to the Chamber of Commerce, it would not be easy for Zangar to control his whereabouts, and in this way, it would facilitate his actions.
It's just that when Owen thought that even the Gatling Chamber of Commerce would be infiltrated by the Demon Realm, he felt a chill and sadness in his heart. With a final sigh, he closed his eyes and rested.
Ron didn't continue to delay in the Holy Capital, and he hadn't been able to complete the contract summoning of the third summoned beast now, he was already a day later than expected, and now he had to rush back as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Ron said goodbye to Owen and Alpha, and left the underground labyrinth passage directly from the other tunnels.
......
Among the imperial cities of the Holy Capital, this is the most sacred and solemn place in the Holy Capital. The antique decoration, the red walls and black tiles, the cornices and arches and the surrounding environment have a sense of incompatibility.
The houses here are modeled after an ancient book, and even His Majesty the King does not know where the style of these buildings came from.
In the main hall of a large hall, singing and dancing are leveled, on both sides of the corridor, there are seats, and many powerful people are drinking and talking, a lively scene.
At the top of the hand sat a middle-aged man with a fat face. If you look closely, you can find that the middle-aged man's lower hand seat is actually a majestic man wearing a golden brocade robe and a crown, which is the king of the Holy Fran Empire, Sean.
"Elder Dirant, thank you so much for your help the other day, otherwise I don't know what Elder Zangar of the Gatling Chamber of Commerce would do. Sean said with a smile, his expression very humble.
"Hey, hey, where is it, isn't it a coincidence that I'm just going to be a coincidence, but in recent years, the people of the Gatling Chamber of Commerce have become more and more rampant, going against our Chamber of Commerce everywhere, maliciously suppressing prices, it's really despicable, the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, look at the style of these Chamber of Commerce elders can be imagined, alas...... It's really a shame for our chamber of commerce......" said the middle-aged fat man named Dirant, with a sad look.
The corners of Sean's mouth twitched slightly, no one knew what he was thinking in his heart, only he knew that the world was as black as a crow, where would this elder of the Marshall Chamber of Commerce be a good person, and when he came to the Holy Capital this time, he didn't hear any rumors.
Sure enough, as Sean expected, he soon heard Dilant speak: "By the way, Brother Sean, I heard that the Four Academies Exchange Contest that your Holy Franc Empire is going to hold this time is very grand, and it is rumored throughout the continent, and your royal family actually plans to take out a codex of Lord Klopp, who was lost back then."
Prizes, I don't know if they're real or fake?"
Sean's face changed slightly, revealing an embarrassed smile, and said: "Elder Dirant's news is really well-informed, but that codex is a fragment, Master Howard and others of the Runesmiths Association have browsed it, and they are all clueless, I also want to inspire these young people, after all, it is Master Klopp's codex, even if it is just a collection, it is of great significance......"
Sean belittles the prize for nothing, and is almost only worth collecting. But no one has seen anything, and what is the value of this thing can only be heard by Sean.
A sly smile like an old fox appeared on Dirant's face, "Hehe, since Brother Sean thinks that this thing is only collectible, why don't you take it out and let the old brother open his eyes, and let me see what Master Klopp was like back then?"
"This ......" Sean's face showed a look of embarrassment, and he was speechless for a while.
"Isn't it because my brother can't trust me, thinking that I will just grab it and leave?" Dirant's face slowly became gloomy, and even the attendants who brought tea and water around him felt a chill that made their legs tremble.
"No, no, that's called somewhere. It's just that that thing isn't in the Imperial City right now. Instead, it was placed in the collection of the Royal Academy of St. Fran, and there was a ban on time and space, and no one could open it if it was not in time, and if it was forcibly cracked, it would only make all the contents inside go up in smoke. Sean said with a bitter face.
Dilant's pupils narrowed slightly, but his face was silent, and he secretly said in his heart that a person who can become the king of a country is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. Knowing that there are no impermeable walls in this world, and that news will spread sooner or later, it is better to do it now. At least wait until the exchange meeting of the four academies begins, many celebrities and powerful forces in the world may come, and then take it out, and many forces will hinder each other. It wasn't like now, he, an elder of the Marshall Chamber of Commerce, could pinch this king to death.
However, to be able to become an elder of the Chamber of Commerce, where is Dilant an ordinary person, he smiled quietly on the surface, and said: "It's okay, anyway, I'm idle, so let's stay here with Brother Sean first, there are still more than 3 months before the Fourth House Conference, and it will pass in the blink of an eye." ”
Sean also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he was the king of a country, he was actually very small compared to these chambers of commerce that roamed the entire world. First of all, in a border country like the Holy Fran Empire, the most powerful force is the master craftsman, and the Chamber of Commerce can dispatch saint-level powerhouses at every turn, they are really fish on the chopping block of others.
The reason why he took the risk of taking out the treasure he had been cherishing this time was actually his own mind.
