Chapter 113: The Snake's Nest and the Snake Leaf (Subscription Requested)
"Sorry, Your Majesty!"
"Not every traveler is interested in the history of the Kingdom of Bucharest! In fact, even the people of the Kingdom of Bucharest did not necessarily know her. You need not apologize, Mr. Zorro! It's not fair to you! Krosso Asclepios said lightly.
William pursed his lips, he was just a polite remark.
Who really thinks William is really apologetic, and who is the real fool?
It is obvious that although Krosso Asclepios is old, he is not confused, and he can even be said to be cunning!
Not one of those people!
"Where shall I start, Mr. Zorro?" Krosso Asclepios thought for a moment and muttered.
"Okay, let's start a hundred years ago." Krosso Asclepios settled.
"A hundred years ago?"
"Hmmm! A hundred years ago! Krosso Asclepios's face was a little solemn.
"A hundred years ago, the territory of the Kingdom of Bucharest was much larger than it is now, and it was not a kingdom, but the Bucharest Empire!"
"Empire?" William's eyes moved.
"Hmmm! Bucharest Empire! At that time, the strength of the empire was strong, and looking at the entire continent, it was a top-ranked powerhouse! Krosso Asclepios had a sense of pride on his face.
"And what happened then?" In fact, William didn't want to listen to him talk about the ancients, but there was no way, there was a request for someone, so William had to ask cooperatively.
"Later? Ay! The fall of an empire begins within her! "The royal family of the Empire is addicted to luxury, and their eyes only see the prosperity in front of them, but they do not see the undercurrent flowing beneath it. ”
"The rebellion is gathering quietly!"
"Finally, on a court night, the abominable betrayer issued a clarion call for an attack on the royal family."
"The royal family suffered heavy casualties, and few escaped, while the betrayers took over the palace and established a new kingdom with great dignity."
"The royals who escaped were forced to flee to this land, elected my ancestors as the new kings, established the new kingdom of Bucharest, and started a continuous war with the kingdom of Delgada established by the traitors!"
"Our two countries have been fighting and making peace for hundreds of years! A few years ago, my army almost defeated the army of the traitors and destroyed this filthy country! It is a pity that a general who is naturally good at fighting suddenly appeared in the army of the betrayer, and he led the army of the traitor step by step, driving my army out of their land step by step. “
"This war is a failure! And that young general, who was also appreciated by the puppet king of the traitor's country, married his daughter to him! ”
"Since then, it has been difficult for my army to gain a combat advantage over the army led by this young general!" Krosso Asclepios's tone was heavy.
William was also silent for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to help your army and achieve victory?" ”
If that's the case, William is not going to do it.
The uncertainty of this large-scale war is too high, and it is not certain what hole cards will be played by both sides!
Maybe some witch, or even the sacrifice of the Lord of Light, will come to an end!
William is just a little big knight who can't be provoked, can't be provoked!
He'd rather think of something else.
With the magic mirror, there are always more ways than difficulties.
Croso Asclepios laughed when he heard this, and said with kindness, "Mr. Zorro, I admit that your strength is not bad, but the battlefield is still a little more dangerous, and you have more important uses!" ”
William was relieved to hear this, and he said, "Then what can I do for you, Your Majesty?" ”
"Of course, Mr. Zorro!" "I said that the traitors captured the royal palace of the royal family of Bucharest!" ”
"Yes, His Majesty King Krosso Asclepios! You did say that! William emphasized.
"The betrayer has only taken its shell, but has never received its true soul!" Krosso Asclepios said coldly and arrogantly.
"I don't understand what you mean, Your Majesty!"
"Hehe, Mr. Zorro, do you know that from the first time I saw you, I felt that you were a trustworthy person! So I'd like to share this secret with you! Secrets of the royal family of Bucharest! ”
"Tom, you get out!" Krosso Asclepios abruptly asked his guards to leave.
The honest guard named Tom glanced at William, said nothing, and walked out slowly.
The only people left in the room were Crosso Asclepios and William.
William didn't know where this Krosel Asclepios got the confidence to dare to be in the same room with me without doing a defense?
Is it his mysterious ability? Is it possible to know in advance about your arrival? William said in his heart.
After the guards left, Krosso Asclepios continued.
"Mr. Zorro, those betrayers never knew that there was actually a secret hidden under the Royal Palace in Bucharest!"
"What's the secret?" William came interested.
Gossip is a human instinct!
"A snake nest!"
"A snake nest?" William was stunned, "How is this possible?" For a hundred years, they didn't find out? ”
"That's their stupidity!" Krosso Asclepios said with disdain.
"You want me to go to this snake's nest?" William's mind was full of those greasy images of poisonous snakes.
"Yes, Mr. Zorro, you are a smart man!" Krosso Asclepios gave a thumbs up, then continued.
"In this snake nest, there are a lot of white snakes! In the center of the snake's nest is a tree! ”
"Trees?"
"Hmmm! A snake tree that grows by the birth of a white snake! On top of the snake tree, there are some leaves! I hope you can help me go to this snake nest and pick this snake leaf and come back! If it's convenient for you, bring back the killed white snake or the living white snake with you, I'm afraid that after these snake leaves are brought back, they are not fresh enough, and you can nourish them with snake birth. ”
"Your Majesty, can you answer my questions? What do you want this snake leaf for? "William doesn't go to work stupidly, he always has to ask clearly.
Speaking of this question, Krosso Asclepios was saddened and said in a heavy tone, "One of my eldest sons was bitten by a poisonous snake and got a strange disease! The sacrifice of the Lord of Light could not cure this strange disease! ”
"A doctor told me that only the leaves nourished by this snake have the ability to detoxify all kinds of poisons."
"It takes at least three snake leaves to cure this strange disease!"
"I have no choice but to try!"
"But the palace is not in my realm, so I can only send some loyal soldiers to sneak in. But every time it was in vain, and even died tragically! ”
"I couldn't help it!"
"But at this time, you're coming! Mr. Zorro! ”
"Hmm!" William was still groaning.
This is no small matter, the snake's nest, or in the royal palace of a country.
Not in the castle of a city-state where William went last time!
Danger aside, it's just a matter of whether it's worth it!
At this time, Krosso Asclepios stepped up his strength, "Mr. Zorro, as long as you help me bring back the snake leaf, I will tell you, where is the golden apple?" ”
"I need to think about it, Your Majesty!" William still didn't agree immediately, mainly because he always felt that these scenes were very familiar, such as snake leaves, palaces, and other things, but he couldn't remember them for a while.
He's going to go back and think about it.
What's more, he felt that this king, Krosso Asclepios, could not be easily trusted!
It would certainly be an exaggeration to say that he was full of lies, but there must be truth and falsehood in his words.
William couldn't tell for a moment.
"Of course! Mr. Zorro, you may stay in my palace. You are always welcome! Krosso Asclepios understood.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" William has a magic mirror, and the artist is bold, and he is not afraid of anything, so he nodded.
