CH.28 Stepping on a Kick Back
When she heard the news, Anrui was basking in the sun on the deck of the Magic Vine.
He put down the sound transmission stone, looked puzzled, and muttered to himself, "Boulder Country? When did I offend the prince of this country? ”
He didn't remember when he was an enemy of the people of the Boulder Country, and he was a little confused. In order to figure out this matter, he carefully recalled it in his mind, looking for clues from his memory. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of some things that had happened at the auction before.
At that time, an old man once came to pass the word to him to give up the dragon egg of the two-headed dragon of ice and fire, but he rejected it outright.
Recently, apart from the bloody battle with Bai Ge, he has only had this conflict with people.
"Could it be that the person who offended the Boulder Country that time? If it was really for this matter, the prince of the Great Stone Kingdom would have been too cautious. Anrui thought of this possibility, but couldn't be entirely sure.
Just in case, he told the second fleet the news through the Sound Stone, telling Sam and his gang to be on the lookout for the people of the Boulder Country.
Inexplicably there is such an enemy, An Rui's heart is still very hot, and the origin of this enemy is not small, he is the prince of a country.
No matter how small a grasshopper is, it is meat, and no matter how small a country is, it is also a country. The strength of the Giant Stone Country must far exceed that of Bai Ge, which is enough to crush An Rui, a maritime merchant who has just entered the sea.
Fortunately, the owner of Nissa Island sent a message before, claiming that he had resolved this contradiction for An Rui, which at least shows that the Boulder Country will no longer use a spear to deal with An Rui, and I am afraid that the Boulder Country will not give up. It will also stumble in the shadows.
"It's easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows, I hope the Boulder Country is not so cheap." An Rui muttered in his heart, listing the strength of the Boulder Kingdom as a potential enemy.
The news quickly spread within the first fleet. There is a lot of panic in the hearts of the people, and the pressure on a country is far greater than the pressure on a pirate group.
When the catastrophe came, Alice, the second generation of the emperor, found An Rui in private, stroked her golden hair, and said very chicly: "I heard that you were targeted by the people of the Boulder Country, don't worry, I will settle this matter for you." There was a war between the Great Stone Kingdom and the Aoki Kingdom. After the last Aoki country was victorious. As a defeated country, the Great Stone Kingdom had to pay tribute to the Aoki Kingdom every year. I'm the princess of Aoki Country, and in a word. can make the Boulder Kingdom submissive. ”
"It seems that it is good to have a princess in the fleet." Anrui was overjoyed when he heard this, he was not afraid of trouble, but he did not like to cause trouble. It would be great if Alice could resolve this conflict once and for all.
"Don't worry. It's on me. "Alice has a big bag. Directly took out the sound transmission stone in front of An Rui. Got in touch with the royal family of Aoki Province and asked the royal family of Aoki Province to put pressure on the Great Stone Country.
In order to get the Aoki Imperial Family to step up their efforts to do this, Alice lied that the Great Stone Kingdom threatened not only Anrui, but also her own safety. The queen of Aoki Province was furious when she learned that her daughter had been threatened, and immediately announced that she would severely punish the defeated country of Boulder.
After chatting about business, Alice didn't forget to be coquettish and won the queen's favor.
An Rui listened to all the conversations between the mother and daughter. I can't help but sigh in my heart, the general trend is different. A sentence weighs 10,000 pounds and can accomplish a lot of things.
"I promise that the Boulder Kingdom will not dare to come to you again in the future, if they still don't know the current affairs, I will let my mother send troops to clean them up and beat them up." Alice put down the Soundstone and smiled.
"Well done." An Rui gave a thumbs up.
……
Monolithic Country, Imperial Palace.
"You're me off! I let you go to sea by boat so that you can increase your knowledge and take a look at the world outside the boulder, not to let you go out to make trouble for me! You keep saying that Anrui is just an ordinary businessman with no background. How could a businessman with no background have two countries protect him and help him speak? The king stood like a javelin, stretched out his great hand, and slammed it on the table with a thunderous sound.
Andrei shuddered with fright, he hadn't seen his father so angry for a long time. According to past experience, in this case, the most obedient training, don't talk back, the more you talk back, the worse it is.
"Star-Moon Island is easy to do, except for the island owner Nisha, who is a little more powerful, there is nothing to be afraid of. But Aoki Country is different, in that war a few years ago, we were defeated and retreated by Aoki Country again and again. The military power of Aoki Country is far above ours, and we can't afford to offend it. A message came from Aoki Country before, telling us to stay away from An Rui, if we dare to touch a single hair of An Rui, they will send a large army to clean us up! Judging from their tone, they attach great importance to this Anrui, and they must have a very close connection with Anrui. The king continued to speak angrily.
Andre lowered his head even lower, in fact, he was also complaining in his heart, who would have thought that a maritime merchant would have such a deep background, have connections with both countries, and be able to mobilize the energy of the two countries to put pressure on the Boulder Country!
He thought that his identity as a prince would stabilize An Rui and easily clean up An Rui, but he didn't expect to be stepped on by An Rui, not only did he not take advantage, but he was also scolded.
"You troublemaker, you must reflect on it this time, don't go out of trouble in the near future, so as not to cause me trouble again. Also, quickly withdraw all those bounty orders, if An Rui really has an accident, the Boulder Kingdom will be in trouble! "The king's spittle flies everywhere.
"The bounty order is easy to do, and it can be withdrawn at any time, but the problem is that I contacted the 'scavengers' earlier, and they have already sent the assassins out......" Andre snorted with a sweaty face.
"What? Did you ask the scavengers to do it? The king changed color.
The Scavengers were a vast organization of Assassins with members spread throughout the Lord's realm, and they could be contacted from any part of the Lord's World and paid to kill them.
This organization is very mysterious, no one knows who the leader of the scavengers is, only that the person must be very powerful.
The scavenger claimed that anyone in the Lord's realm could be killed, as long as the employer could afford to pay enough!
Fifty thousand gold coins is already quite a lot of money, enough to get a scavenger to help.
"You—You're so angry with me! Hurry up and contact the scavengers and ask them to reverse this assassination attempt, if they hurt or kill Anrui, we'll be in big trouble! The king was so angry that his eyes were red, and he could barely control himself.
"Father, I'm going to do this, and I'm going to do this, and I'm going to call back the assassins who sent out." Andre hurriedly agreed, and quickly stepped back, wanting to slip away from the limelight.
At this moment, a loud laughter suddenly sounded in the sky.
"What happened to provoke His Majesty the King so angry?"
The sound reverberated through every corner of the palace.
The king's father and son were stunned at first, and then turned happy, and they both heard who was laughing.
"Teacher!" Overjoyed, André hurried out of the courtyard and looked up at the sky. He, a teacher from Dragon Castle, rode a dragon from the sky every time he came, and that was called a majesty.
In the sky, a huge gray-black figure flapped its wings and slowly landed, and the figure became clearer and clearer. It was a giant dragon with a wingspan of twenty yards and a body length of thirty yards, with a grayish-black body and a strange rock texture that seemed to have been carved out of stone.
This dragon, known as the Rock Wyvern, is quite rare and possesses many abilities related to earth attributes.
Above the Rock Wyvern sat a man who was tall and wore a metallic trimmed robe, looking imposing. He was a middle-aged man, but he was more energetic than the youngsters, with short and sturdy hair and a smile on his face. Carrying a giant hammer with a long rod on its back, the surface of the hammer is glowing, and at first glance it is not an ordinary weapon.
His name is Sean, and he is a dragon warrior and Andrei's teacher, and he teaches him all his skills.
When the Rock Wyvern was only ten yards above the ground, Sean leaped down from the undulating dragon's spine and with a gesture of his hand, the dragon turned into a gray-black light that was imprinted on his back, forming a large tattoo. He landed quickly, but he didn't make much noise.
"Teacher Sean! It's been a long time since I've seen you, but you've finally come to see me. Andrei was overjoyed.
"There are a lot of things to deal with over there in Dragon Castle, and I personally have a lot of personal matters to be busy, so I really can't be separated." Sean said.
"It's okay, don't worry about how long it lasts, as long as you can come. I happen to have a lot of questions for you about dragon warriors, especially half-dragons. ”
"Hehe, don't be in a hurry to talk about it first, you tell me first what your father is angry about, I heard his roar in the sky just now."
Sean patted André on the back and walked into the house with him.
After seeing the teacher, Andre had a backbone, and he was not in a hurry to withdraw the assassination order, and told everything that happened before.
Hearing that a man named Anrui had bought a red and blue bizarre dragon egg, Sean was immediately interested, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't figure out what kind of dragon egg it was. The more this happens, the more curious it becomes.
"Teacher, do you know that kind of dragon egg that has two colors?" Andrei asked.
"I might be able to recognize it if I saw it with my own eyes, but I can't think of what kind of dragon egg it is. I'm really curious about this dragon egg. ”
"It's all to blame for that An Rui robbing me, if he hadn't kept raising the price, I would have bought this dragon egg back a long time ago."
"It's a shame indeed." Sean nodded, his gaze changing several times.
The teacher and student met the king together, and the king still respected Sean, a powerful dragon warrior, and did not put on a royal stand.
After reminiscing about the old days, André, at the urging of the king, took back all the reward orders that had been posted, and contacted the local scavengers, paid the liquidated damages, and revoked the assassination.
The order was indeed revoked, but unfortunately it was difficult to recover it, and it was still a big question whether all the scavengers could be called back.
The bounty of 50,000 gold coins is enough to make many people's hearts move, and at least a dozen assassins have taken this order before! (To be continued......)
