Chapter 1294: The Will of the King (Part II)

"Banko, can I call you that?"

A girl in an off-the-shoulder dress leans forward slightly with her upper body, showing off her proud figure.

"Of course! Miss Grandin. The boy who played the role of youth smiled and nodded.

If it weren't for the fact that he had quietly read the other party's mind with the help of magic, just looking at the look of adoration on that face, he would even mistakenly think that this noble lady really had a "sexual interest" in himself.

Of course, to some extent, the other party does have an "interest" in him.

It's just that this kind of "interest" and the "sexual interest" that are expressed are completely different things.

To be precise, the glamorous ladies and ladies who sit around are basically with the same purpose.

Some of them are at the behest of their husbands or fathers, while others are motivated to satisfy their own ambitions and desires.

In short, they wanted to extract enough information from the young man in front of them, especially where the treasure was located and the dangers to be aware of along the way.

The young girl, known as Miss Grandin, did not realize what a dangerous object she was dealing with, but still kept a sweet smile and said, "I must admit that your adventure story is really wonderful. I can't believe how brave you are in the face of the vicious and evil Darrants. But I have a small question. ”

"Oh, what's the question?" said the boy, pretending to be obsessed.

"Why didn't you choose to hide the treasure secretly after you found it, but instead chose to bring back only a small part of it and reveal the location of the treasure to the public?" said Grandin cautiously and tentatively.

Not only her, but every lady and lady sitting around pricked up their ears, intending to listen to the explanation of the person concerned.

In any case, giving up a huge treasure for no reason will always give people a sense of unreality, and it is also inconsistent with the greedy and selfish nature of most intelligent beings.

Therefore, when there is someone who wants to share the wealth, the first thing that comes to the mind of smart people is often not how to maximize the benefits, but will suspect that it is a scam or that there is a terrible trap behind it.

"Hehe, that's a good question.

Actually, it's not that we haven't wanted to monopolize the treasure, but unfortunately it's too big, so big that it's far beyond the limits of our capabilities.

Just think about it, just a part of the gems in the treasure has caused such a huge sensation that there are even quite a few people who want to take risks and have their eyes on us.

If more treasures appear out of nowhere, do you think we can keep it?

The answer is obvious, we can't keep it, let alone protect our own personal and property safety.

So instead of holding on to a huge treasure and causing disaster, it is better to get some of it in your hands first, and then announce the rest of the treasure to the public, using the true news to distract you.

In this way, the truly powerful forces will not stop at us, but will choose to fight for more of what is left.

What's more, you think the treasure is placed directly in some secure warehouse?

No!

It is placed in a place full of magic traps and monster guards.

We are not prepared and we are not equipped to deal with these things.

Rather than losing your life for wealth, it is better to stop in moderation and turn the gems into wealth and fame.

With these two things, we can change our class and even get a piece of land to become a noble lord. ”

As he said this, the eyes of the boy's controlled body flashed with a vision of the future and the ambition that is characteristic of young people.

"I see," the girl ......said, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

As a member of local high society, she can understand the idea of news and wealth in exchange for power, status.

In the twelve years that the invaders have been defeated, too many people have climbed to higher positions little by little in this way.

I don't know why, the thirteen "kings" who rule the world always reward these adventurous guys without hesitation, and sometimes an important discovery can directly make a lowly slave turn over and ride on the head of the original master.

Under the absolute domination of the "king", any unlucky person who tries to resist or does not admit the truth will be brutally slaughtered.

Seeing that the ladies and ladies present were almost half convinced, the boy immediately took out a crumpled piece of parchment from his bosom and said meaningfully, "I have here a detailed record of the entrance to the treasure and the area that our team has explored so far. I wonder if anyone would want to go with me to a room where no one is in there to dig deeper?"

Moment!

The faces of all the ladies and ladies changed dramatically.

Especially the aristocratic ladies who had not yet been married were either frightened to the point of a little pale, or showed exasperation and shyness.

Because they know that the so-called "in-depth discussion" is actually a dirty business in private.

Only those who are willing to pay the "price" can bring back that picture and news.

In contrast, the ladies behaved slightly better, but the boys played the role of a pirate and mercenary at the bottom of society, and the noblewomen who had always been proud were also entangled for a while.

After all, no one knows whether their husbands will understand and forgive, or will be furious when they get the news.

It's one thing to lure and take advantage of, it's another to get your hands on it.

The former is just a mean means, while the latter can be called "betrayal".

Just when everyone was in a quandangle, a glamorous woman in her thirties finally stood up, took the boy's arm and responded with a smile: "What are you waiting for, let's go, let's go to the inner room and have a good "in-depth" discussion." I'm a big fan of thrilling adventures, and you're sure you won't disappoint me, will you?"

"Of course, it is a great honour to have you with you, Honorable Lady Governor. ”

With that, the boy stood up and bowed slightly to the remaining ladies, and then disappeared around the corner at the end of the hallway with the bright-eyed woman.

When they were completely gone, Grandin finally came back to his senses, and exclaimed in an excited tone: "Oh my God! Is this world too crazy, or is it my eyes that have seen hallucinations." The Governor's Wife...... The Governor's wife is actually with a lowly ......"

"Shut up, if you don't want to get in trouble!"

Before she could finish her sentence, another older woman interrupted the second half in a stern tone.
