"As you can see, in our pursuit of the fugitive Durents, we stumbled upon a great treasure that was said to have been secretly hoarded for shipment before their demise. And these gems are only a tiny fraction of the treasure......"

While observing the reactions of those around him, the boy pretended to be smug and "introduced" the origin of the gems.

As a child who had been raised by a strict elite education since the age of three, he knew all too well what it took to get the attention of those at the top of the ruling system.

The answer is simple, it is profit, unimaginably huge.

High-quality gemstones are the basic materials necessary to make powerful magical items, and they are also regarded by the common people as a symbol of wealth, especially in a world where precious metals are still used as currency, and gemstones retain their value far more than gold.

It is conceivable that when the legend of a huge treasure spreads, how many people will go crazy and how many will die.

More importantly, if this treasure is really left behind by the Darrant Expeditionary Force, is there something else in it that they left behind?

After all, twelve years is not a long time, and the intelligent beings of this world have not forgotten the strength shown by the invaders and the humiliating history they have experienced.

Even now that they have defeated their enemies and driven the remnants into inaccessible mountains, islands, and deserts, they will still be hungry for the magical knowledge and skills that the Darrants have mastered.

In some places, huge bounties are even offered, as long as you can find buildings, weapons, armor, magical items, or books, notes, scrolls left behind by the Darents, you can not only obtain unimaginable wealth, but also change your class and social status, and leap from a low-level commoner to a high-ranking nobleman.

From the information he read from the captive's memories, the boy already knew that the thirteen so-called "kings" did not relax after successfully destroying the last expeditionary force, and enjoyed the power and power in their hands.

On the contrary, as former betrayers of this world, they know very well how strong the Darents' civilization is, and they also know that the other party may come back at any time.

So for the past 12 years, everyone has been desperately searching for what the expeditionary force has left behind, whether it is knowledge, wealth, or weapons and equipment, in order to prepare for the next war.

Obviously, the enemy that the boy will face is not a bunch of fools who have no power to resist, but a group of sinister and vicious people who know how to draw nourishment from their opponents to strengthen themselves.

The most important thing is that these guys do not show the slightest mercy even when dealing with their own compatriots.

In the process of cooperation, they directly or indirectly destroyed countries and killed no less than expeditionary forces.

A whole boatload of gems docked at the dock undoubtedly caused a violent sensation in the city-state of Archi.

Whether it is the people at the bottom who watch the excitement of eating melons, or those who have some ideas about the treasure, they all set their eyes on this group of pirates and mercenaries who seem to have obtained a ticket to high society.

......

In the evening, in the splendid palace, a grand banquet is underway.

As the host of the banquet and the host of the city, Governor Parossa held aloft a crystal cup filled with a pale green liquid and exclaimed in an impassioned tone: "Distinguished guests! First of all, please allow me to introduce these warriors who have come from afar. They were the ones who brought priceless gems from the far side of the sea, as well as a treasure left behind by those evil invaders. ”

The words just fell!

Every man and woman present in the audience who were dressed in gorgeous services raised their wine glasses in their hands and struck the crystal with their other hand with a silver spoon, making a crisp sound.

You don't have to ask to know that it's a way for them to show their welcome.

When the sound of the beating had subsided, one of the shapeshifters stepped forward, bent down and saluted, "Thank you very much!"

"No, you're welcome, you deserve it. Besides, I'm sure all of you here must be eager to hear your adventures, aren't you?" said Governor Parossa, who swept the corner of his eye over those who had made no secret of their greed and lust.

If it weren't for the instructions of the "king", he would not have allowed such important information to leak out, but would have blocked the news as soon as possible, and then sent a fleet to swallow the entire treasure for himself.

Unfortunately, this goal is no longer possible.

Under the absolute order established by the thirteen "kings", no one can resist their will, not even the governor who also wields powerful magical powers and armies.

As the saying goes, the warrior who kills the dragon will eventually become the dragon.

In the process of working with the Darrant Expeditionary Force, these thirteen traitors have absorbed too much knowledge, experience, and wisdom from them, even the brutal methods of domination and suppression of resistance.

After destroying the expeditionary force, instead of restoring the world to its original state, they took the opportunity to usurp all rights and make themselves "gods" above other life.

Parosa had seen the "king" to whom he was loyal, so he understood the insurmountable distance between himself and the other party, and naturally he would not be stupid enough to make any small moves in private.

There was only one thing he had to do, and that was to obey the order and spread the news first, so that those who were able and wealthy could find out if the treasure was true or not.

If it is true, then it is as large as the rumors say, preserving the knowledge and technology left behind by countless Darrants.

Today's banquet is actually an exhibition, allowing the powerful organizations of the Archie city-state to see for themselves the mountains of gems, as well as these pirates and mercenaries who became rich overnight.

Soon, under the deliberate impetus of the governor, the lavish banquet quickly entered the climax.

The guests looked shocked and eager at the hill-like gems piled up in the center of the hall, while others began to make contact with the shapeshifters in an attempt to extract useful information from each other's mouths.

As the youngest and most susceptible to seduction in the group, the boy was already surrounded by people of all ages and the opposite sex, and they had one thing in common, that is, they were full of beauty and seduction.
