Chapter 775: The Boots Flying Princes

Following a labyrinth of gravel paths through multiple courtyard buildings, Lin Jae-shan and Trinity eventually arrive at the door of a single-family stone house.

The servant leading the way pressed the doorbell and reported to the microphone: "Guests are here." ”

The iron door slowly opened, and a man with a gray beard, an amiable smile, and a Santa Claus appearance and temperament appeared behind the door.

Lin Zaishan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, "Isn't this the kind-looking, scheming, and ruthless old fox Larson?" ”

He had followed Larson on his first way to the capital, and had come to know his form; Although the latter was aware of the stalker, he never saw Lin Zaishan himself.

"I'll have to be careful not to let this old fox find a flaw." Lin Zaishan pulled down the hood that was about to cover his head. He and Trinity belonged to a "micro-service private interview" this time, and both of them deliberately concealed their true faces and identities. He doesn't wear an armored guard outfit, and Trinity is dressed as a civilian woman.

Without being a nobleman, they used the Brilliant Coin to open the way, and were able to impress the cunning and greedy servants of the mansion to meet the lord.

"Two guests are visiting at night, but what important business do you have to discuss?"

Trinity responded, "I heard you have a sparkling treasure for sale here, so I'm here to buy it." ”

"Welcome." Larson smiled and led the two into the stone house, pointed to the dazzling display cases in the small hall and said, "My best survival is here, please feel free to watch." ”

Trinity walked around the various display cases and sighed, "These goods are good, but they are not what I want." ”

"In the Principality of Glory, there are no goods that I Larson can't get, except for some forbidden items."

"Really? I wanted something that was not only shiny on the outside, but also full of life on the inside, and even inspiring...... Abilities. ”

"Understood, isn't it just an energy crystal? I don't dare brag, but I can confidently tell you that I have enough crystals here to take 1 pill a week until the hell is over. ”

"Oh?" Trinity and Lin Zaishan were both surprised. They thought that Larson would be secretive about a controlled commodity like crystals, but who knew that the other party would advertise it in a blatant manner.

Larson smiled, "If you really want to buy my crystals, please show a little sincerity first." ”

"What sincerity?"

"I'm going to be holding a big crystal show and auction soon – at a secret time, in a secret place, of course. If you want to participate, you should first pay 1 million Brilliant Coins per person as an admission ticket and help me complete an errand mission. ”

Trinity and Lin Zaishan were silent when they heard this, the former pondered for a few seconds and asked, "Of course there won't be any problems with the admission ticket; But I don't know what the errand task is? ”

"Please rest assured, I will never arrange the kind of task that makes a decent young lady embarrassed."

"Okay, I promise!"

"Then ask the lady to deliver 1 million brilliant coins in cash to my house within 24 hours, and then get the errand task."

On the return carriage, Trinity called Lin Zaishan, who was on foot, into the car to discuss the matter.

"Why do I always feel that this old man is not as simple and kind as he seems?" Trinity frowned slightly.

"Your feeling is accurate, this old guy is an old fox." Lin Zaishan also had to admire Trinity's ability to recognize people. "However, no matter what tricks the other party plays, we have to participate in this secret crystal fair."

"I'm sure it's definitely not just the two of us who will be there at the meeting, it's a lot of people, and everyone will try to hide their true identity." Trinity returned to her usual cold expression, "I'm curious about what the organizers will do to ensure that many attendees keep each other confidential. ”

"I'm more worried about the errand tasks that the other party has to assign." Since the end of the world, Lin Zaishan has "run errands" for others countless times, and many times the results are not so "pleasant", or always full of unavoidable and accidents.

He found that when you are forced to do something for a certain purpose, it often leads to unwanted consequences; And in order to cope with these consequences, you may be forced to do more.

In the case of his abilities, he can also use all kinds of extraordinary means to complete seemingly impossible, even life-threatening tasks, but in this strange space where his abilities fail, it may be difficult to create earth-shattering miracles alone.

Trinity said decisively: "Let me declare first: participating in this secret crystal exhibition is a joint action of the two of us, I am responsible for the admission ticket of 1 million brilliant coins, and you are responsible for the errand task." If there are any difficulties and consequences, you should try to bear them yourself, and if you really can't do it, come to me for help. ”

Lin Zaishan smiled bitterly, "According to my personal experience, if I go to find someone or ask someone for something, it often means that the matter is not very difficult; If, on the other hand, I had to go it alone, it would be desperate or dangerous. ”

"Heh, as far as I know, some people are the best at counterattacking desperate situations." Trinity leaned her face to Lin Zaishan's nose, and stroked the back of his head with her right hand like a dog, "You have to fully believe in the halo of the protagonist on your head." ”

"Where do I have a protagonist aura? Of course, if you take those things like 'handsome for only 3 seconds', 'lying still can attract monster hatred', 'going anywhere you can encounter N times more danger than others', 'Every time you passively accept a task, there are accidents', 'The most wanted resources are always in the hands of others', 'I am often driven and abused by those whose personal strength is not as good as my own', 'All the big guys I meet want to kill me', 'All the beautiful women I have saved mock me', ' Wherever you need luck, you're going to be unlucky' and so on, if these are also counted as 'protagonist halos', then I can be called radiant. ”

"The protagonist's aura doesn't have to be shiny, it can also be gray. In short, you have to know how to make good use of it and enjoy it. Trinity said and kissed him on the forehead.

Lin Zaishan saw Trinity's eyes staring at him like a she-wolf, and he couldn't help but feel "gray" in his heart, and jumped out of the carriage with a fish jump.

At 9 a.m. the next day, in the Splendid Castle Hall, a high-level meeting was held.

Lin Zaishan came to attend the meeting at the request of Duke Frank, and the seats were arranged in the far corner of the conference hall. Eighty per cent of the leading figures of the Principality of Glory were present, and more than 100 people sat in the entire council hall. Of course, they include Countess Trinity, Count Orlando, Count Russell and others that Lin Zaishan is already familiar with and has seen.

As soon as the meeting began, Duke Frank made a lengthy speech that "tortured" everyone to sleep. When he saw that the atmosphere on the field was not good, he put away the manuscript and changed the conversation:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have three things to announce today. First, I will lead a large army to sweep away the rebels in the near future! ”

The field suddenly burst into excitement.

An elderly nobleman stood up and said, "Lord Duke, has your plan for the conquest been carefully demonstrated?" What if something happens? ”

"What can happen with my strength?" Not only is Frank sure that he will be victorious, but he has been depressed in the capital for too long, and he has to go around everywhere to breathe a sigh of relief.

The elderly nobleman said: "Of course, the Duke's ability is undoubted, but the personal levy is very important, please choose the accompanying generals and arrange the remaining personnel." ”

"I only need to lead the 1st and 2nd Legions and my own 300 personal guards, and the 3rd Legion will continue to garrison the capital."

The Earl of Orlando spoke: "My Second Legion has been in a lot of war lately, and needs to rest long enough to go on an expedition. ”

Frank was stunned, "When did the Second Legion become yours?" They're all my glorious principality! ”

"You just gave a basic salary, and all kinds of trivial and hard work such as peacetime management, training, wartime charges, and post-war pensions and condolences were all carried out by me?" The Earl of Orlando fought back on the spot, leaving Frank without showing the slightest affection.

"Are you trying to usurp my military power?" Duke Frank was furious, took off his boot on his right foot and threw it at Orlando.

The latter was the first warrior in the capital, strong and agile, and with a wave of his hand, he knocked the duke's boots to the ground.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them, and it was not easy for the scene to calm down.

Duke Frank shouted, "This matter is not over! From tomorrow, uh no, today I will rectify the military appearance and military discipline of the Second Legion! I'm going to show everyone who the Second Legion is! ”

The Count of Orlando crossed his hands on his chest and sneered. In his opinion, there was no one in the entire Duchy more influential than he did with the Second Legion, and even Frank could do nothing.

Earl Russell changed the subject and said, "Lord Duke, don't you have two more things to announce? We're all listening. ”

Frank snorted, "The second thing I want to announce is this: I led my guards in a bloody battle yesterday and finally killed the green eagle that plagued the duchy with my own hands!" ”

"Wow!" Everyone was in an uproar again, and they all knew that the big bird had been killed, but only so far they had officially learned the identity of the Eagle Slayer Hero. The nobles immediately began to slap their horses.

"Lord Duke is brave and unparalleled!"

"The Duke is mighty!"

"The Duke is the first warrior of the Brilliant Duchy!"

Frank listened to the praise of the crowd, his face was pale, but his eyes swept towards Orlando with a grim gaze.

The Count of Orlando suddenly stood up again and said loudly, "Since you claim to have killed the Green Eagle with your own hands, please give us all a picture of the details of that time, so that we can share them." ”

"No problem!" At this point, Frank passed by Lin Zaishan to remind him that he had already done his homework last night, and immediately described the passage of the eagle slaughter like a blockbuster. How rampant the green eagle is, how powerful the attack is, and how brave he is, he finally killed it, and the words are so full of spittle, people who don't know will definitely take it seriously.

Orlando listened to the mockery: "What a wonderful story!" As a samurai, my primary concern is: how do you deliver the fatal blow to the green eagle? ”

"I killed it by hitting it in the head." Frank still doesn't know the direct cause of the Green Eagle's death, and he just guesses that the fatal wound to the head is based on common sense.

"Really? So I wonder if we can go to the morgue site and feast our eyes now? ”

"Absolutely!" Duke Frank knew that if he had stage fright in this matter, he would definitely be suspected and despised by everyone, so he immediately agreed to it.

A group of leading figures put aside "military affairs" and did not discuss them, but they all ran to the garden and woods to "watch" the carcass of the big bird with great interest. This is an important topic that will remain popular for a long time.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Frank pretended to speak, secretly pulled Lin Zaishan to his side, and asked, "Tell me where the green eagle's fatal wound is?" ”

"Won't you know if you do the autopsy?"

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me the truth, I will not only canonize you as a baron, but also reward you with a few beautiful maids."

"No interest, no luck."

"Then I'll order Trinity to be imprisoned."

"I'll go! Are you the king of a country, and are you clearly a hooligan? ”

"You guessed it, Lao Tzu is from the gang."
