Grey Keep ...... The King!

Lorenzo couldn't help but feel terrified.

The man who rose from an unknown frontier lord to the ruler of the Grey Keep in just a few years has a reputation that everyone in the church knows and knows. No amount of information could explain why he had risen so quickly, and even the Holy City of Hermes, which was trying to unify the continent, was defeated by him.

Lorenzo's decision to make such a quick decision to break with the Church was largely due to Roland Wimbledon, who saw the Church and the Grey Keep as an immortal feud, and if he still regarded himself as a bishop, he could be destroyed at any time, and when would it be until he did not take off his robe?

It's just that the other party has just ascended the throne, and the attention should be in his own territory, but now he suddenly intervenes in the border between Dawn and Wolf Heart, not to mention, and makes it known to everyone with great fanfare, and its purpose is very worth finding.

"Are you sure?" the Count looked at Hagrid, "tell me the details!"

"The credibility of this news is in no way, and it has been confirmed by many parties," the latter swore assurance, "the centaurs who were first stationed at the foot of the cage mountain came from the Grey Keep, and they were all dressed and dressed in exactly the same way, which is undoubtedly the style of that strange army. Secondly, Dawn has received death row inmates summoning orders from all over the country, not only is the gathering place in the Cage Mountain area, but some people say that the object of their service is the king of the Gray Castle!"

"Cage Mountain...... Death row prisoner......" Lorenzo took two steps back and forth, and suddenly his eyes flashed, "Is he here for that thing-"

"Quite possibly, my lord," Hagrid replied with a nod, "no...... It should be said that it must be so. ”

"But how did he know about it?"

He knew that it was not surprising that the people who discovered the ruins in the first place had only relied on a little luck. I've always thought that the ruins didn't exist in isolation, that there might have been some connection between them – and Roland happened to be ahead of everyone. ”

Although the Church has not been able to determine the exact reason for the rise of the Four Princes of Grey Keep until its demise, there are several theories circulating within it. Putting aside the nonsense of the incarnation of gods and the spokesmen of demons, there is one explanation that there are many believers: that he has received a legacy from a certain ruin, and since then he has mastered incredible powers.

Even if the three bishops dismissed this claim, many believers believed that this was the truth, and Lorenzo was one of them.

Otherwise, why should the other party be above the Holy City?

And when it comes to Cage Mountain, the most incredible relic is the Temple of the Damned.

Back then, the Divine Punishment army swept through the entire Wolf's Heart Kingdom with a thunderous force, and the Wolf's Heart nobles either died in battle or surrendered, even if the Queen of Blue Water joined forces with the Wolf King, they could not stop the attack of the church. As a former bishop of Grand Ducal Island, he was involved in most of the logistics and sweeping work, sending looted supplies to the front line or storing them in one place. And during an operation to loot the cliff ridge, he happened to learn about this legend from a hundred years ago-

Legend has it that a group of villagers smuggled a batch of treasures from the Temple of the Curse in Langshan, and then died one after another, and the treasures also fell into the hands of local nobles. The ancestors of the Earl of Cliff Ridge were very interested in this, believing that it was not the curse that caused all this, but related to the things that were brought out, so after spending some means and energy, they bought back some of the treasures from Dawn.

After some research, and the cost of more than ten lives, the old earl did find a different artifact - it looked unremarkable, but it could produce deadly light, and its effect was very similar to that of a curse, it could be called an invisible weapon that killed people!

However, after a few uses, it did not react again, as if it had run out of power, and became a dead thing. Although the old earl sent people to the frontier many times to explore it, and even ventured into the temple himself, he never found a way to restore it. So he wrote this past into the family history, hoping that future generations could find the answer, and the strange object was also preserved as a family heirloom, until the cliff ridge was conquered by the church more than a hundred years later, and it changed hands again.

Although Lorenzo was intrigued by this thing at the time, it was also true that the family history mentioned "no more movement", and after fiddling with it for a while and still finding nothing, he packed the treasures and threw them into the warehouse, intending to wait for the centralized disposal of the Holy City.

After all, not all of the records in the family letters are true—there are many aristocratic families boasting of long bloodlines and amazing wealth, and if all of them are believed to be true, how can the church so easily wipe out the wolf's heart and eternal winter, and be swept away.

However, with the crushing defeat in the Battle of Coldwind Ridge, the situation of the church took a turn for the worse, and the seized supplies became unattended, and he also put the matter behind him. It was only now that Lorenzo remembered what was going on when he heard the butler mention it.

If the King of the Grey Keep had also come to curse the treasures of the Temple, then its credibility would have increased considerably.

The Earl couldn't help but get a little excited, "You go on!"

"Yes, sir. "Assuming Roland Wimbledon got the news of the treasure from other ruins, then it is very likely that he also knows how the treasure works, and even how to restore it." If we can find out this information, it is equivalent to having a guarantee that can replace the divine punishment samurai. ”

That's right, a weapon that can unleash the curse! Its deterrent power will definitely deter the Wolfheart nobles, and Grand Duke Island will gain more time to find the whereabouts of the Holy Scriptures.

Lorenzo stamped his foot, "Follow me to the supply warehouse, now!"

"Your Excellency?"

"I'll need to make sure it's still on Grand Duke Island - since it's so important, it can't be left to the care of ordinary guards. ”

......

In order not to let the news leak out, Lorenzo took the housekeeper to rummage through the material warehouse for most of the day. After eating a belly of dust, he finally found the bag of "treasures" in an inconspicuous corner. ”

And the count was glad that he didn't call a third person to help.

Opening the burlap bag, he noticed the strangeness of the "treasure" at a glance.

Compared to the luminous beads and elaborate statues that were also scavenged from the ruins, it was as simple as a stone—the outline was boxy, the length and width were no more than a palm, and the surface was extremely rough, even if it was a second-polished granite, it was smoother and more beautiful than it. If it weren't for some sapphire stripes on it, I'm afraid no one would want to bring it back.

The Earl of Cliff Ridge did mention in his family letter that the cost of acquiring it was the least of all the "treasures".

But now, a square streak on the stone was slowly flickering, and a soft blue light poured from one end to the other, as if to indicate direction.

The two glanced at each other, and they all showed ecstasy!

The stones that had not reacted for nearly a hundred years actually changed, and it coincided with the reappearance of Roland's hands in the Temple of the Damned, and it would be too unbelievable to say that the two had nothing to do with each other.

If those words just now are just speculation, then after seeing this scene, the possibility has become nine times out of ten!

Roland has indeed mastered the means to restore it!

"You've got to go to Cage Mountain," Lorenzo carefully carried the stone into his arms, "I don't worry about anyone but you." Money and so on, as long as you can find out the use of treasures. ”

"I understand, please rest assured. Hagrid replied, stroking his chest.

"There is one more thing you need to keep in mind," the Count admonished, word for word, "that the King of the Grey Keep must not be brought to the fore, for if he can destroy the Church, crushing us is no different from crushing an ant." Unless the treasure can show strength to compete with it, it must be hidden...... The safety of Grand Ducal Island is entrusted to you. ”
