Chapter 36: The Abyss Crystal
For the Hunters' Association, as long as they can afford to pay, they dare to accept the task of subverting the Augustus Empire.
And for seven gold coins, as long as you can afford to pay for it, you have no problem subverting the Hunter Guild.
When he left the weapons shop, Kaneshiro's face was not very good-looking. The transaction with the seven gold coins was very simple, a box of gold coins made the wanderer promise to do anything for Jin Cheng, and for the sake of this box of gold coins was all deposits, the seven gold coins took the initiative to provide Jin Cheng with several pieces of information.
What made Jincheng feel bad was these pieces of information.
Prince Linton, the younger brother of the Prince of Arctic and the second son of the current Dark Emperor, is about to inherit the throne.
And this information is completely inconsistent with the history that Jincheng knows, in the game of the previous life, Linton's succession to the dark throne was a year later, the new monarch's war was hot, in order to avoid the war burning to the north, the dark royal family chose to let the new king ascend the throne, and Linton, who was already managing the empire, officially appeared on the stage to deter the restless elements who were about to move.
How will it be in advance?
The development of history always has inevitable cause and effect, and Kaneshiro knows that his arrival has changed Igu's plot, and some of these changes he knows are due to the fact that Joshuel of the Endless Sea is not dead, for example, the three old men of the Yalvis family are dead, and even more like Urgis's intention to destroy the abyssal blockade.
But there are some changes, Jin Cheng doesn't know where it came from, such as the unknown Knight of Light Osvid, such as Linton's sudden early accession to the throne.
Jincheng can only attribute it to the butterfly effect, a little change out of nowhere, which slowly evolved into the current situation.
And this time, the result of the butterfly effect is not what Kaneshiro wants to see.
It's been a month since Linton officially succeeded to the throne, and now the news is still in lockdown, at least the Prince of Arctic Castle doesn't know about it - the dark royal family is very unhappy with this outrageous crown prince.
Seven gold coins were able to obtain this information because he had discovered that a group of outsiders had arrived in AptiΔ.
Before Linton could inherit the throne, he had to perform a ceremony, and the Dark Royals invited several allies to this ceremony.
The Dark Empire and the vast majority of Igu have a cold relationship. Only two organizations have won their favor because of their common philosophy: the Druid Church and the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment.
The Druid Church believes in the three world gods, but the power of the demon at the bottom of the tree is corrupting the World Tree, and there is no doubt that it is a sworn enemy. Not to mention, the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group and the Dark Empire are like teammates in the division of labor, Apdic suppresses the Abyss to prevent the Undertree Demons from entering Igu, and the Battle Mages hunt down the Undertree Demons scattered on Igu.
The Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment has two leaders, and this is just a trivial matter. However, the Eastern Church sent Hathaway, the Pillar of the Hill, and the Southwestern Church sent the Deep Ocean and the Stream, and these two great druids were both famous and surnamed plot characters. In other words. These two are both powerhouses at the level of Great Legends.
This made Apdic's variables increase sharply, which also caused Jincheng to be uneasy.
And what Jin Cheng is worried about is not this, the most important thing is that the ceremony before Linton inherited the throne is the coronation of the abyss!
He will be crowned crown before the abyss is sealed under Mensa's watchful eye!
Urgis and the shadow mages have most likely infiltrated there!
"Damn, shit! How could Linton inherit the throne at this time! β
Jin Cheng scolded with some anger and returned to the post station with his head down. The servant guarding the doorway told him unexpected news.
"An old friend looking for me?" Jin Cheng was stunned, he didn't have any old friends in Apdic, right?
He soon met this old friend, not a half-elf, but an old man who seemed to be in good spirits. Dressed as a scholar, with a pair of crystal glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Jin Cheng blinked, then his eyes opened, and he shouted, "Archmage Joshuel! β
"Kim. I didn't expect to see you here. Joshua smiled happily, closed the book he was looking at, and removed his glasses. Smiled and asked, "Are you visiting Apdic on behalf of the Blue Tower?" β
"Probably not, the Dark Empire has never funded the Blue Tower, how could those guys at the long table be willing to deal with Apdic."
Joshuel's eyes flashed with wisdom, he looked directly into Jin Cheng's eyes, and asked without moving, "Did Ella ask you to come?" What did she know about the Abyss Crystal? β
"Abyss Crystal?" Jin Cheng was stunned for a moment, but another thing flashed through his mind, and he hurriedly pulled Qiao Xiuer into the house, and then asked in a low voice, "Archmage Qiao Xiuer, is it because of your arrival that Prince Linton inherited the throne?" β
"This is a family matter of the dark royal family, how can I interfere." Joshuel shrugged his shoulders and slowly put the books and glasses into his satchel, "Linton was originally the next candidate for the Dark Emperor. β
"But......" Jin Cheng paused, organized his vocabulary, and asked, "But the Dark Empire is currently very stable, and the Dark Emperor's condition has not deteriorated, so Linton doesn't have to inherit the throne so early." β
"If you're referring to Linton's succession to the throne, it has something to do with me." Joshuel smiled and spoke, "Ah Duo and I participated in the last outbreak of the Abyssal Black Tide, and the Dark Emperor at that time promised to give us an Abyss Crystal in return. β
The last time the Abyssal Black Tide erupted? Jin Cheng remembered it after a little thought, it happened to be one hundred and fifty years ago!
"I see!" Jin Cheng shouted, "King Ador's abyss crystal, the dark royal family is not ready at all, so we have to wait for the abyss blockade to condense a piece again." β
"And the abyss can't be opened easily, so when you offered to come and take King Ador's crystal, the Dark Emperor decided to have Linton perform the ceremony of crowning the abyss at the same time!"
"That's pretty much it." Joshuel nodded, but said, "But you're a little mistaken. β
"Which point?"
"Half of that abyss crystal belongs to me, but it's not Ador's." Joshuel laughed.
Jin Cheng's heart moved, could it be that King Ado and Qiao Xiuer also knew the true function of the Abyss Crystal? Wasn't this black gem always used as a jewel until after Gramm's arrival?
"Does Ella know about this Abyss Crystal?" Joshuel said with a look of embarrassment, "The value of these jewels is reflected in the size, if they are cut in half, they are not worth much." β
Joshuel doesn't know what the Deep Shadow Crystal does!
"Kim, Ella is not short of money anyway, you can convince her for me, just give me this abyss crystal." Qiao Xiuer patted Jin Cheng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You know that I am an old man, and I have no pursuit, I just want to collect some rare things to play with......"
"Archmage Joshuael......" Jin Cheng smiled bitterly and said softly, "Can you not have this abyss crystal for the time being, and let Linton delay the succession to the throne?" (To be continued......)
