Chapter 40: There is still a backhand
Snowf paused, and said truthfully without concealing anything: "Mainly because you made a high-profile claim at the auction that the mysterious crystal mine belongs to you. ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Vincent with a very strange gaze for a second, and then continued: "The real source of that crystal mine is not that Stilwell said that something fell from the sky and fell into my family's fiefdom, but that the crystal mine happened to be lying quietly around the pit when the demon clan was sent to investigate the pit caused by the big explosion. ”
"But the strange thing is that after they got the crystal mine, they didn't stay to study and identify the attributes, but directly put the crystal ore into the space magic props, and gave it to us through their scouts, so that we could dispose of it ourselves. ”
"Four days ago, however, they suddenly ordered the scouts to send us a message saying that they wanted us to spread the information about the crystal mine quickly and efficiently, preferably to the public, and that the ultimate goal of all of this, according to them, was to lure out the owner of the crystal mine that might exist. ”
In the end, it seems that their purpose was achieved. ”
Vincent nodded in agreement, and then said sarcastically: "Yes, the person they are looking for is me, but unfortunately, they can only find me." ”
However, at this time, the two of them paid special attention to Queen Jenna's arrival.
"You go on, I have plenty of time right now, and I'm perfect for listening to stories. Queen Jenna said as she walked with a swaying cat's light cat's steps as she walked through the "path" of the demons who had fallen to the left and right.
And except for a few demon army soldiers and Walter behind her, as well as eight traitors to the empire are still alive, the rest of the demon soldiers are all under the law, as for whether she pleads guilty or not, it doesn't matter.
For Queen Jenna's coming, he had already swallowed the bitter fruit of defeat, and Snoff, who did not intend to resist, continued: "Third, do you remember the matter of the elven princess?"
After listening to Snoff's words, Vincent was completely stunned, he couldn't have imagined that the matter of the duel would be inexplicably connected with the matter that he thought he had easily solved.
Vincent said helplessly: "Of course I remember, but didn't the Edmund president of the Eddie Chamber of Commerce settle with me?"
"Yes, Edmund did reconcile with you, but that was because he didn't know the reason why the Elven Queen was captured and the importance of the captured elves, and most importantly, the real person behind the Eddie Chamber of Commerce was me Snoff. ”
"Speaking of the Elves," Snoff paused slightly, then turned to Queen Jenna and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, are you about to sign an alliance with the Elves on behalf of the Empire?"
Queen Jenna bowed slightly, and said, "That's right, since I ascended the throne, abolished all slave-related businesses, and cleaned up the group of imperial moths, the elves have the will to sign an alliance with the empire and promote the two sides to become true allies. ”
"Yes, so the Demon Race has also begun to pay attention to the progress of this matter, and the Elf Princess and the rest of the ordinary elves are also handed over to us after the Demon Race has tried every means to capture them. They also asked us to find a way to transport the elves into the City of God and dispose of them properly, saying that they would be of great use in the future. ”
What happened after that didn't need to be told by Snoff, Vincent himself could have guessed it.
The elves, including the elven princess, were smuggled into the Blessed City, waiting for an opportune time, preferably the day when the Elven Court sent someone to the Blessed City to sign an alliance with the Empire.
And that day, the guards pretended to relax their vigilance, giving the elven princess who didn't know where she was, a chance to cast a secret spell to contact the "Shadow One". Then wait until the envoy of the elven royal court senses the location of the elven princess, and then kill all the captured elves, at that time, no matter how Queen Jenna justifies, the elves who died in front of both sides will be a thorn that will always be pierced deep in the hearts of both sides, and no matter how you pull it out, you can't pull it out.
As for why the strength of the slave catcher team responsible for escorting is so weak, it is actually a very simple question, that is, to keep a low profile.
For this shipment, the Eddie Chamber of Commerce not only organized five teams of the same size and close personnel in the fastest time, but also went to the Blessed City under the guise of transporting various monster cubs, and the elves were placed in one of the teams specially prepared for them, trying to fish in troubled waters and transport them into the civilian area of the Blessed City.
This is also the reason why the caravan that Vincent is in is weak but entrusted with a heavy task, after all, the more inconspicuous it is, the more it can hide its own purpose, and even for the sake of secrecy, there is not even a single magician in the team, all of which is to prevent the attention of those who have a heart, and to minimize the occurrence of all unexpected situations.
However, they eventually relented, and after thinking that they had come to Bukanga, a town very close to the Blessed City, they relaxed their guard and hired Vincent, a magician who introduced himself as a first-order magician.
In the end, all efforts were ruined.
After learning that the matter was revealed, Snoff very decisively threw out some chess pieces that were involved in the matter, but did not know much about it. At the same time, on the grounds that he was hired by someone and didn't know that the monster cubs he transported were elves, he used it to clear the suspicion of the Eddie Chamber of Commerce and him, after all, except for Vincent and Horn, all of them died without proof. And the three of Horn can't prove that the Eddie Chamber of Commerce is fully aware of this matter, because the person who hired them is the Eddie Caravan and not the Chamber of Commerce, so it is impossible to implicate the Eddie Chamber of Commerce or even Snoff.
As for the culprit Vinson, Snowf really wanted to kill Vincent personally, but as a young fourth-order magician who exposed the truth about the elven slaves, that time was the critical moment for Vincent to enter the vision of the upper echelons of the empire, how could Snowf dare to do it at that time, wouldn't he not admit himself? Especially after Vincent offered the Light of Order potion and formula, he was appreciated by Her Majesty the Queen, which made Snowf decide to focus on major matters for the time being, and then make plans in the future.
So, the scene of the auction house was staged.
Snoff also pushed the boat down, not only to completely oust Queen Jenna from the throne, but also to take the opportunity to take revenge and kill Vincent, killing two birds with one stone.
Now, of course, it seems, everything is wishful thinking.
Seeing that Snoop was so "cooperative", Queen Jenna also took the opportunity to ask: "Tell me, what made you betray the empire?"
After listening to Queen Jenna's words, Snoff's originally lifeless face changed suddenly, and the resentment and resentment shot directly at Queen Jenna through the slightly constricted pupils, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Of course, for my mother, your honorable majesty." ”
"Your mother?!Didn't I let her go?"
Perhaps sensing Queen Jenna's carelessness, Snoff closed his eyes, took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and tried to keep his breath steady: "Yes, you let my mother go, but you didn't let go of anyone else in the Campbell family except my mother. It was you who made my mother finally choose to leave me and Stilwell behind and embark on the road of no return to suicide. ”
"I also know that you are for the sake of God's blessing of the empire and the continuation of the human race, and I know even more that the empire before you ascended the throne has decayed to what extent, and I know that if the empire is not purged on a large scale, the day of destruction is just around the corner. However, I was so unwilling that I couldn't bear to turn a blind eye to what was happening in front of my eyes for the sake of a future that I couldn't see. ”
Vincent looked at Snow's body, trembling as he held back his grief and indignation, and sighed softly and quietly.
At first glance, Shi Snoff, who gave people an arrogant and arrogant attitude, and Shi Snoff, who did not hesitate to betray the empire for the sake of his mother, and also wanted to take revenge on Queen Jenna, are simply two people.
After listening to this, Queen Jenna was silent for a moment, then turned to look up at the sky, through the black mist that appeared in the Demon God Realm, looking at the slightly dim sun, and her eyes shining like purple gems, she actually showed a rare look of exhaustion, and she slowly spoke: "Snoff, you are not wrong to avenge your mother. But everything is wrong with me for the sake of the empire?"
"Someone must fight bloodily for the empire to have a future and the Terrans to survive. ”
As she spoke, Queen Jenna turned and walked towards the still kneeling Majin army, ready to finish what had not been done before.
However, an unexpected situation happened to everyone, and even Queen Jenna, who had always maintained a calm demeanor, had a surprised expression on her face.
Because, just as Queen Jenna once again stretched out her index finger and prepared to execute Walter Seaman and finally dispose of the traitor. The Demon God Realm was scattered everywhere, causing a hazy black smoke in the arena to suddenly converge into a cloud with lightning speed, and then the black light flashed and went straight into Walter Seaman's body.
And as the black mist disappeared, Vincent suddenly sensed a lightness in his body, and it seemed that all his strength had recovered. Then he looked up, and sure enough, when he looked at the sky before, the sense of estrangement disappeared cleanly.
However, the demon commander who was drilled into his body by the black mist mysteriously broke away from Queen Jenna's control, surrounded by black mist as if a demon god had descended, and slowly stood up, his eyes were blazing with red flames, he tilted his head left and right, and after making a "cluck" sound, he said to Queen Jenna: "Unexpected! The famous Queen of the Divine Blessing Empire is actually a super-level powerhouse." ”
Hearing another voice completely different from the demon commander coming from his body, Queen Jenna raised her eyebrows and said with disdain: "Forcibly surrendering to your own people is very consistent with your identity as a pseudo-god!"
Divine descent is the safest way for the gods who cannot leave the kingdom of God to come to the continent of Triya. This method is not only very strict on the target of the divine descent, but also every time the divine descending, the life span of the deity fanatic who receives the divine descent will be reduced by five to ten years, and every time the divine spirit incarnation leaves the divine descent object and returns to the divine kingdom, the divine descent object will correspondingly reduce the strength of one or more orders.
However, believers like Walter Seaman, who are forcibly descended by the gods, will surely die after the gods depart in their incarnations.
However, in a sense, it can also be described as waste utilization.
