Chapter 0900: Piero's Revenge (1st Update)
It is normal that no results have been negotiated in one day, and since it is a negotiation, it is natural to have to fight each other for a few days.
However, in the evening, the Duke of Piero took the initiative to visit Liszt, and it happened that Liszt was drinking tea and chatting with William Li, so he invited him into the study.
The study room of the Castle of Thorns is huge, piled with all kinds of books, antique and full of art.
It is said that the room that best reflects a man's cultivation is the study, and Liszt's study is a portrayal of a gentle gentleman in his inner world.
"Duke Piero, you will be free in a few days, I wonder what is the matter with coming to me at this time?" Liszt stretched out his hand and motioned for the other party to take a seat.
Piero was also unkindly and sat down.
After taking the green tea handed by the servant, he drank half a cup of grunt: "I'm afraid that the two of you will laugh at me in my heart, as a sinner who lost the dragon, even if I can go back, I will almost sit on the duke's throne to the end." ”
He was right.
Liszt did laugh at the other party in his heart, but there was no need to say such words: "There must always be winners and losers in wars, and Duke Piero regrets to be involved in an unwise battle to slay dragons." Actually, I chose to target Alex Whiteiron or Alonso Cyclamen. ”
"This is indeed the wrong object of war I chose, the Gray King was snatched away by you, I admit it. Duke Piero nodded and said very calmly, "The change of status from the lord of a country to a captive prisoner has made me see many problems clearly, to be honest, if it weren't for the face of the Eagle Royal Family, I'm afraid no one would come to redeem me." ”
Liszt and William Li glanced at each other and did not speak.
In the previous casual conversation between father and son, William Li was still complaining that the negotiation was a bit difficult to handle. The Eagle Kingdom and the Gray Iron Duchy only want to get by with face at the lowest cost, and they don't care about the Duke of Piero himself. So in the face of the lion's wide open offer, I resolutely disagreed.
Duke Piero continued: "Originally, I was full of hatred for His Royal Highness Liszt, and the hatred of the dragon was burned day and night, but today I have been betrayed by those closest to me, and my hatred for His Highness is relieved. Defeat and capture will naturally allow the victor to get everything, and the most hateful thing is betrayal!"
William Li feigned a comforting sentence: "Considering the interests of the family, maybe they also have difficulties." ”
"Does the Marquis think I'm talking about family betrayal?" Duke Piero shook his head, "No, no, no, I do resent them for betraying me, especially my son." But if I were him, I would choose the same way, preserving the strength of the family is more important than saving a prisoner like me. ”
"And who are you talking about?"
"It's Adonis Moonsilver!"
"Eagle King, why did he betray you?" Liszt had not yet figured out Piero's intentions.
At first, he felt that Piero simply wanted to take refuge in his anger, but this was absolutely impossible, after all, he would have to exchange him for a dragon elf.
A waste who is nothing more than a Sky Knight, how can it be compared to a dragon elf.
Piero was quick to explain: "I used to think that Adonis, Loyle and I were the Iron Triangle. As two of the most loyal subjects of the Eagle Kingdom, Loyle and I both grew up in the Eagle Kingdom, and were selected for the Dragon Knight Candidate Program together. It's just that I lack talent and don't get the approval of the Gray King. ”
Although he is middle-aged and elderly, Piero still feels that the Iron Triangle is like a family.
So the Eagle Royal Family launched a battle to slay the dragon, and he and Royle Copper immediately responded, but unfortunately Loyle was killed in the battle and he was captured again.
"I thought that even if the family would choose to give up on me, Adonis would not give up on me, I fought for the dignity of the Eagle royal family, for the friendship of Adonis...... Now I'm a little man of little significance, and Adonis hasn't even sent a word of comfort to me!"
The volume is gradually increased.
The more Piero spoke, the more excited he became: "This is humiliation, this is betrayal! He has betrayed my friendship and the interests of the Principality of Grey Iron, and the betrayer is not worthy of forgiveness!"
"So, Duke Piero, what do you want to say?" Liszt didn't care much about the emotional world of the older middle two, which didn't have the ups and downs of knightly content.
"I want to take revenge on Adonis, and I need your help, Your Highness!" Piero finally made his intentions clear.
"How can I help you?"
"All the information I know about the Eagle Kingdom can be handed over to you, Your Highness, including the grandson of the Marquis of Bull. In exchange for Your Highness, you support me to return to the Gray Iron Principality, and in the future, the Gray Iron Principality will be dominated by the Flame Kingdom!"
Without Liszt opening his mouth, William Li said directly: "Duke Piero, do you think this possibility exists? The Gray Iron Principality has lost its dragon, which means that your country will cease to exist in a few years." Even if we support you to return to China, what will you do to suppress the country and repay the Flame Kingdom?"
"Of course it pays off!"
"Tell me about it. ”
"Andrei, the grandson of the Marquis of Bull, is attacking a new dragon, and as far as I know, it is about to succeed. If I am willing to give the information of this dragon to His Highness, is His Highness willing to shelter the Gray Iron Principality for twenty years?Twenty years, I believe that within twenty years, Your Highness will destroy the Eagle Kingdom. ”
Duke Piero said, his gaze unusually determined: "If the Grey Iron family has not found a new dragon by then, then I am willing to scatter my wealth and just want to become an ordinary ducal family in the Flame Kingdom." ”
Listened to the words of the Duke of Piero.
Liszt gradually narrowed his eyes and began to consider whether what the other party said was true or false.
Originally, he didn't care much about Andre, this was the enemy of the Grand Duke of Sapphire, and even if he was a genius, he would take revenge on the Sapphire family first. Besides, even if the other party becomes a dragon knight, what can he do, do he dare to commit murder in front of a dragon knight with a four-headed dragon?
But.
The news that Andre was raiding the new dragon made him strongly interested: "What new dragon is he raiding?"
"It's a very magical dragon, although it is not as good as the invisible dragon of His Highness, but it is more magical than the ordinary metal dragon and gem dragon. If it weren't for this dragon, how dare that Marquis of the bull rebel against the Sapphire family. The Duke of Piero leaned back in his chair, and as long as Liszt was interested, he was equal to taking the initiative.
William Li suddenly asked, "Duke Piero, do you think the Flame Kingdom can destroy the Eagle Kingdom within twenty years?"
"With the momentum of His Royal Highness Liszt, I think there is hope, and of course more of a bet on the future...... Without the dragon, the Gray Iron family will lose the country sooner or later, so why can't they gamble instead of becoming an ordinary nobleman...... The Holy Dragon Knight, who has not been born for many years, has appeared, why can't the Eagle Kingdom perish. ”
It makes a lot of sense.
Liszt couldn't refute and didn't want to refute: "First tell me what dragon Andrei is attacking, if I'm interested, it's not impossible to agree to your conditions." ”
After a moment's hesitation, Duke Piero nodded: "I believe in the integrity of His Highness." Andrew's dragon is the biggest secret of the Eagle Kingdom, and I also discovered this secret by accident during a banquet with Adonis, overhearing his drunken confession and secretly doing an investigation. ”
After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "That's a mountain bronze dragon!"
