"Alan paid a visit to my lord, and this trip was fortunate to be dishonored, and the tribute was delivered as scheduled. ”

After giving Holancest a salute, Alan had no choice but to accept his hug.

"What kind of tribute is not tribute, tell me if this trip is still going well?

Hollanster pressed one hand on Allen's shoulder, and shook the other, seemingly completely unconcerned about the tribute.

Alan was originally preparing a belly of words, wanting to argue with Holland about the potion formula, but he didn't expect the other party to make a look of caring about himself, and the topic didn't go in that direction at all, so he didn't know how to speak. He could only follow Holland's words and recount the journey that he had not told Herbert just now, but in the end, he deliberately ignored the part where he saw Userondia and escorted Gracis's body home, and only said that he originally wanted to exchange the treasure for the dragon's tears, but it backfired, the treasure was snatched away by the dragon, but fortunately, there was an infighting between the dragons, and he assisted the golden dragon to repel the incoming enemy, thus winning the trust of the golden dragon, and finally got the dragon's eyes as he wished.

As Eren recounted his experience with dragons, Hollanster listened attentively, his twinkling gaze showing that he was particularly concerned about the experience.

When talking about the design of the mechanism that has no entry or exit, Alan glanced at Herbert intentionally or unintentionally, only to find that the latter was looking at Holance, and Holland's expression was unusually calm, as if Alan was talking about a natural landscape that had nothing to do with the life and death of mercenaries.

"So, Eren, did you exchange the treasure for the dragon's tears?"

When Alan had finished cutting out the whole thing and ignoring all the sensitive topics, Hollanster suddenly asked with a serious expression.

"Yes, sir. There was also a battle between the dragons for the treasure, and in the end, with our help, the golden dragon defeated several other dragons. ”

"So what treasure did you use to impress the dragons and make them happy?"

Hollanster continued to ask, and his expression became strange.

"This..."

Alan was a little hesitant to tell the truth that he was using the elven treasure, but just as he was in a dilemma, Hollanster had already walked to the long table in the center of the chamber.

There was a tray on the long table, and the tray was covered with a cloth towel, and Hollander walked to the long table and directly lifted the cloth towel, revealing what was underneath.

"Alan, is this the treasure you use?"

Hollanster asked, gesturing to the tray with a palpitating smile.

Alan was stunned when he saw the contents on the tray. He finally understood what Herbert said was the evidence that the Hepburns had, because the contents of the tray were none other than the Crown of Life that he had taken out of the elven treasury and later brought to the Cullen Mountains to exchange it for the dragon.

"I've seen countless treasures in my life, but none of them are more precious than this one, so it's no wonder that dragons are tempted. ”

Hollanster picked up the emerald green crown and looked at it in front of him, and then exclaimed.

There is only one crown of life in this world, and now it appears here, there is only one possibility, that is, the red dragon Nigduoli handed it over to the Hepburn family, and the Hepburn family handed it over to Holranster, I believe that there will be the shadow of the dragon called Radduoli of Gutesian, this is the revenge of the red dragon, and it is also the conspiracy of the Hepburn family, and they successfully used the crown of life to arouse Holland's suspicion of themselves.

"My lord, how did the crown of life get into your hands?"

Alan forcibly suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked in a calm tone.

"Alan, you answer my question first, did you use this crown to exchange with the dragons?"

"Exactly!"

Alan said in a harsh tone, he didn't know how much Hollanster knew about what happened in the Cullen Mountains, so he only answered the question and didn't say much. However, he believed that with the dragon's character, even if the red dragon wanted to kill with a sword, he would never tell the whole story of what he had done in the Kulen Mountains, because it would be too detrimental to the dragon's dignity.

"That's right. I don't blame the Hepburn family for coming to me with it. ”

Hollanster put down the crown in his hand and sighed gloomily.

"My lord, I don't understand what you mean. ”

Alan asked with a frown, he always felt that Hollanster was taking himself into the pit step by step.

"Alan, let me tell you the truth, a month ago, Gerald, the agent of the Hepburn family, came to me angrily with this crown, and he said that he had been ordered by the Pope, accusing me of colluding with the elves in order to undermine the unity of mankind and disturb the balance of the continent. ”

"My lord, are you saying that the Hepburn family suspects you of colluding with the elves?

Alan felt a little dizzy, obviously it was the Hepburn family accusing him, how could it be that the Holy See was accusing the ancient city state of Oku, but why did Agu let others be the scapegoats.

"That's right, at the beginning, the Hepburn family wanted to deal with our pharmaceutical business in this way, and their purpose was also very clear, the effect of the potions we refined was far better than that of the Hepburn family, and their lucrative pharmaceutical business was hit hard because of this, and they knew that they could not surpass us in terms of medicine, so they chose such a strategy, on the one hand, to hit our business, and on the other hand, they wanted to use it to obtain our formula. But they are too naïve, with our relationship, how can they achieve their goals in such a simple way? But doing business is about harmony and making money, so I don't want to offend the Hepburn family too much for this matter, but I just agreed on the surface, but in fact I have been dealing with it coldly. I had expected the Hepburns to retreat, but I didn't expect this matter to escalate a month ago, and Gerald seemed to have realized that I wouldn't attack the potion business because of his accusations, so he changed his strategy and no longer accused the recipe of stealing them, but simply accused us of uniting with foreign races with the intention of making enemies against the entire human race. ”

"How can they slander adults like this?"

Others don't know the relationship between Hollanster and the elves, but Allen, as the great elder of the elves, can't be unclear, except for the rescue mission, Hollanster has no dealings with the elves, let alone any collusion, even if Hollanster has that heart, I'm afraid that the arrogant elves can't look down on him.

"Alas!"

Hearing Alan say this, Holland sighed helplessly, as if he was the little daughter-in-law who was angry in the whole thing.

"If he had made something out of nothing, I would have made a big deal to drive Gerard out of the ancient city, but not only did he take out this crown, but..."

Hollanster paused here and continued:

"And he said that you personally told the dragon at the top of the Dragon God Mountain that the elves are currently uniting with the ancient city state of Ao to deal with the Holy See, and this cooperation is starting with the joint extraction of potions. ”

At this point, Hollanster paused and looked at Allen with blazing eyes, as if trying to see through Allen's heart.

-----------------------------------

As soon as they entered the room, they smelled a strange smell and couldn't help frowning, and then they were startled, because in the center of the room there was a figure suspended in mid-air.

"Captain Lawson!"

The figure was facing away from the three people, but a captain still guessed his identity from the clothes the figure was wearing, and the three people hurriedly stepped forward to confirm whether the identity of the figure was the head of Lawson, if so, then I am afraid that this matter will be in big trouble. They first hugged the figure's body, where the tentacles were, they could feel the temperature of the body, which meant that the hanging person was still alive, which made them feel relieved, and then they turned the figure's face to themselves, but in the dim light, they saw not Lawson's face, but the face of a much younger man.

"Who are you?"

The three of them were startled and asked after taking a few steps back.

"The one who wants your life. ”

The hanging man slowly opened his eyes, looked at the three people with a faint gaze, opened his mouth to reveal a mouthful of white teeth, and said strangely, and then he hugged his arms in front of his chest, revealing an object in the middle.

It was a large sword, and the hilt of the sword was inlaid with two red magic crystals, and at this time, the red light in the two crystals was running rapidly, and the light became more and more abundant, faintly giving people a sense of destruction.

"No! ”

The three captains finally realized the plan, and turned around as if rushing outside the house, but it was already a little late.

In the dim room, it suddenly lit up, a red halo appeared next to the hanging person, the aura flashed with a strange luster, and after a flash, it expanded in all directions, where it passed, there was suddenly a sea of fire, including the three captains, all the guards were submerged in it, some people turned into fireballs and were burned to death, some people like to escape, the strength of the three captains has reached the level of senior swordsmen, the best performance, they have raised their fighting spirit to the extreme before the flames and their bodies, blocking the invasion of the raging fire. But when the three of them broke through the somewhat tattered walls of the hut and came outside, they were stunned by what they saw.

At the same time as the magic attack inside the house was launched, the attack outside was also activated.

When the attention of the more than 100 guards gathered in the clearing was all focused on the two small houses, fireballs, wind blades, lightning, quicksand, ice bursts and other magic suddenly fell on their heads, and they were not in a hurry.
