Boken didn't mean to delay for so long, he did so because he wanted to collect information on the wanted criminals on the bounty list.
Yong Shili also knew that Boken didn't have the courage to deliberately let himself wait so long, so he waved his hand and said lightly: "It takes a certain amount of time to collect the information of those guys, don't report those with a bounty of less than 150,000 gold coins, let's start with the guy with the highest bounty." ”
Boken nodded, took out a pile of materials, took out four of them, handed them to Yong Shili and Xiu Zhe, and said: "These two bounties are not on the bounty list, at least platinum-level adventurers can be qualified to know, and they are also the first and second highest bounties." ”
Xiu Zhe raised his eyebrows slightly, the platinum-level adventurers on the Arad continent can already be called strong, of course, this so-called strong man is only for human beings, killing a platinum-level adventurer in front of Xiu Zhe is as simple as drinking water, and he can basically say death in one sentence.
Taking the paper handed over by Boken's hands, Xiu Zhe glanced at it cursory and smiled: "No wonder only adventurers above the platinum level deserve to know, if this is on the bounty list, it is a clear declaration of war with the Delos Empire." ”
The highest bounty is not to kill someone from the Delos Empire, but to investigate what the Delos Empire is doing now near the Cave of Sorrows.
Two million gold coins... That's a lot of money.
This amount of money is enough for countless powerful adventurers to investigate, after all, two million gold coins is not a small amount.
You must know that the highest bounty in the history of the bounty list is only 500,000 gold coins, or is it a bounty that only a few people can complete alone, and most of them can only succeed by forming a large crusade team, and sometimes they have to risk being wiped out.
Putting the first piece of paper on the table, the corners of Xiu Zhe's mouth also hooked up a playful smile when he saw the second bounty, and the face on this bounty order was none other than Cyrus, the eagle dog of the Delos Empire.
When Yong Shili saw Cyrus's appearance, a trace of murder flashed in her beautiful eyes, and the hand that was holding the bounty order also unconsciously clenched the paper and crumpled.
Cyrus's bounty is 1.2 million gold coins, and such a high amount also has extremely harsh conditions, Skadi wants the living Cyrus, and the dead Cyrus is only worth 500,000 gold coins.
"This is already a declaration of war, right?" Xiu Zhe frowned slightly and looked at Boken and asked, there is no distinction between good and evil in this group of adventurers, whether it is a platinum-level adventurer or a diamond-level adventurer like Forrest Gump, they only value profits, these two bounties Xiu Zhe does not believe that no adventurer will tell the Delos Empire.
"In fact, we didn't make this kind of bounty first, Your Excellency Xiu Zhe is also on the secret bounty order of the Delos Empire." Boken replied softly.
"Me?" Xiu Zhe smiled and asked, "How much is my head?" ”
Boken hesitated for a moment and said, "You Delos Empire who became a corpse will only give five million gold coins, and you who are alive will give forty million gold coins. This is what our spies found out about two months ago, and it is absolutely credible. ”
"Forty million?!" Xiu Zhe smacked his lips, the Delos Empire is rich. Although the Duchy of Belmar could take out so much money, it meant that the treasury was empty, and Skady could not even afford many of the ministers who served in the Duchy at that time.
Delos
Although it is a rogue empire, they will never joke about this kind of thing, and if someone can really capture them alive, Leon will definitely reward that person with 40 million gold coins.
But the hand that can defeat himself on this Arad continent can be counted, as for capturing himself alive? Xiu Zhe smiled disdainfully, it wasn't that he was arrogant, even if he didn't use the evil god terror to pull Xiu, no one in the entire continent would be able to capture him alive, not even people like GSD and Sodros who stood at the peak of the continent.
"How does this bounty order for what Delos is doing prove that the information I provided is accurate?" Xiu Zhe asked with a tap of his finger on the bounty order.
"Ordinary people will be sent to the Dark Elf Kingdom after receiving this bounty, and the elders of the Elder's House will personally attach a magic array to them, and the effect of this magic array will be to transmit everything that people who have infiltrated the Delos Empire see to the Dark Elf Kingdom, just like copying memories."
Boken carefully continued, "The first seven platinum-level adventurers entered the Delos Empire with nothing or even a chance to get in touch with what the Delos Empire was doing. The last four adventurers died near the Cave of Sorrows, and they didn't even see what was killed. ”
"Don't you have a general route or a specific location or something?" Xiu Zhe frowned slightly and asked, this operation is not a child's play, since the Delos Empire has done such a good job of secrecy, it is also beneficial for him to investigate by knowing more information.
Seeing Boken shaking his head, Xiu Zhe sighed and felt a little unhappy in his heart, but this matter did not depend on Boken, after all, even the Dark Elf Kingdom, which was recognized as the most powerful in intelligence investigation, did not find any news, how could Boken know these things?
"I'm going to have these two bounties next, and tomorrow I'll leave for the Dark Elf Kingdom." Xiu Zhe glanced at the photo of Cyrus on the table and asked, "How much do you know about Cyrus?" ”
"Cyrus almost didn't make a move, and after the spies of the Dark Elf Kingdom shared information with us, plus all these years of research, we learned that Cyrus's red rappier can turn into fish scales like a whip, and the attack method is also like using a whip."
Hearing Boken's information, Xiu Zhe and Yong Shili's eyes narrowed slightly at the same time, and the two of them invariably thought of the accident that occurred in the competition of the continent's senior colleges.
The accident moved all of the contestants in the Loland Forest to the palace set up by the first Priest of Pride and Mortality, where a woman armed with a fishbone sword was able to wield it as a whip like Cyrus provided by Boken.
This could not be a coincidence, Xiu Zhe touched his chin and thought, at that time, the woman was also using the unique swordsmanship of the Delos Empire, if that woman had nothing to do with Cyrus, Xiu Zhe would not believe it.
"The Delos Empire seems to have been planning for a long time..."
Yong Shili also nodded approvingly when she heard Xiu Zhe say this.
"If my guess is correct, the Delos Empire should be working on how to mass-produce something like Cyrus near the Cave of Sorrow."
Xiu Zhe is not a random guess, with the temper of the current monarch of the Delos Empire, it may be difficult to swallow the evil anger of defeat in the Heavenly Realm.
Now the Duchy of Ghent and Belmar has an alliance with the Kingdom of the Dark Elves
Treaty, Delos's monarch Leon is also easy to take this anger out on the two countries, but it is already very strange that there is no movement now, and it is difficult not to make Xiu Zhe think that the Delos Empire has seized the time and is ready to go to war at any time.
Yong Shili also knows how much of a threat the Delos Empire will pose to the Duchy and the Dark Elf Kingdom if it has a large number of people like Cyrus, but it is impossible to declare war now, and in terms of national strength, the two countries together are not worthy of a Delos Empire.
Only by grasping the evidence of the massive human experiments carried out by the Delos Empire, so that the people living in the Delos Empire no longer believe in their monarch, and make it disintegrate from the inside, can they breathe a sigh of relief.
Judging from the fact that so many platinum-level adventurers haven't even found out the slightest bit of information, how difficult it is to catch this evidence.
Retracting her thoughts, Yong Shili saw that Boken was a little restless, and said with a look of wanting to speak and stopping: "Boken, if you have anything to say, say it." ”
Boken stood up and knelt down on one knee and said sincerely: "Your Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, to find out what the Delos Empire is doing, Queen Skadi actually doesn't want you and Your Excellency Xiu Zhe to go in person, and I don't think Queen Meiya will agree to Your Excellency Xiu Zhe to investigate this matter." ”
"Isn't it up to those unreliable adventurers to expose the face of the Delos Empire?" Yong Shili glanced at Boken, who lowered his head, and continued in a cold voice: "How many powerful adventurers have been sent but there has been no progress yet, how can the Delos Empire be exposed in its true form if it continues like this?" Will they be able to raise a character like Cyrus on a large scale? ”
"The minister is stupid, but Queen Skady said that you and Your Excellency Xiu Zhe are the future of the duchy and the Dark Elf Kingdom, even if the country is destroyed, as long as your lives can be saved, the Delos Empire cannot be considered a victory."
Xiu Zhe heard Boken say this, and smiled: "I know what Queen Meiya and Queen Skadi are worried about, so many powerful adventurers have either returned in vain or have been killed inexplicably, and it has become an extremely dangerous place. ”
After a pause, Xiu Zhe continued: "But Boken, can there still be a place for me to die in the country? Like a rat, hide in the underground and cultivate in a place where you can't see the light, and then wait until the time is ripe to become extremely powerful before avenging the important people you have lost? ”
Boken was slightly stunned and then replied respectfully: "Although this is too cruel to His Excellency Xiu Zhe and His Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, both Queen Skadi and Queen Maya, who has dozens of powerful magicians and assassins, are ready to retreat and have begun to secretly arrange a way back. ”
"Are you cowardly before you fight?" Xiu Zhe shook his head and said loudly: "First, my mind is not firm enough to endure humiliation for many years. ”
"Second, I have already experienced the pain of the death of someone I value in front of me three times, and I don't want to go through it a fourth time. When the war broke out, I would never let those I cherished rush in front of me. ”
"Thirdly, a person must not retreat before trying to do something, there will be a second time, a third time, countless times."
"Fourth, I believe that Queen Maya will only dissuade me and will not go out of her way to stop me, because she understands what I say, and if Queen Skady insists on not letting Shili go, I will go alone."
