The alliance between Xiao Yan and Count Sakov was beneficial enough for both sides, and the griffon became the count's thug, which in turn lightened the burden on the Awakened. And with a griffon, the Count will also be safer. Especially now, when the entire empire is starting to become extremely turbulent, Sakov needs more security.

As for the exchange of information, this kind of thing is not a big problem for the two of them, and with those griffin slaves, Sakov has more opportunities for expansion. This expansion did no harm to either Xiao Yan or Sakov.

After reaching a preliminary intention, Sakov coughed and motioned to the butler at the door of the study to let in the people outside, who had been waiting for a while and were a little impatient. Behind the two women was a thin young man of about 30 years old. The pale, uncombed hair had a few strands of nervousness scattered in front of the young man's forehead, which made people feel very uncomfortable. What was even more uncomfortable was the greedy glint in the young man's eyes as he looked at the backs of Sylvia and Norel.

Sakov also clearly saw Xiao Yan's impatience, and he only raised his chin slightly, and the silver-haired butler stood between the young man and Sylvia, intentionally or unintentionally. The young man's view was suddenly blocked, which annoyed him, but when he found that he had inadvertently followed the Count's study, his anger vanished in an instant. Instead, large beads of sweat began to ooze from the originally pale skin.

"Your child?"

Xiao Yan watched the young man turn around and leave without saying a word, and turned his head to ask the earl.

There was no such thing as a long sigh, and the affection of flesh and blood could not be felt in the Count at all. He stared at the young man's back with a cold gaze, and the figure disappeared completely. Only then did he say, "When you need him." He is my heir. But if I can live a long time, why do I need such a meaningless heir? ”

Speaking of this, Count Sakov turned his head to look at Xiao Yan and said, "Okay, let's talk about normal things. I remember you said that you want to go after something even more subtle, what is that? Treasure? ”

Before Xiao Yan could answer, the Earl had already laughed. said: "Look, the problem with the golden finger, when I hear something too good, I always can't hold back the enthusiasm in my heart." Even those things may mean nothing to us. But Goldfinger is born to love babies, doesn't it? ”

Xiao Yan thought for a moment and said, "I'm looking for the Holy Grail. ”

Count Sakov's eyes suddenly froze, staring at Xiao Yan for a long time, and then muttered, "Sure enough, I should have thought of these, except for the Holy Grail." What else could there be? ”

Without waiting for Xiao Yan to ask, Count Sakov looked at Xiao Yan again. Ask: "Do you have any news of the Ark?" ”

This was the second time Xiao Yan had heard the word Ark, and it was from a human being, this question surprised Xiao Yan, and after a while, he asked rhetorically, "What is Ark?" ”

"An ark is an ark."

The Count replied simply: "It's just an ark, that's all." ”

Xiao Yan was quiet for a moment, and suddenly looked at the earl with wide eyes, as if he wanted to ask something. And the earl seemed to have already known what Xiao Yan wanted to say, but he didn't speak there, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, yes, that's what you think." ”

In the scriptures, Noah's Ark gives humanity a new tomorrow, and in this sense, the Ark is more of a symbol than a physical object. After the old world was submerged by the Great Flood, it was Noah's Ark that allowed the seeds of life to continue. Of course, there will not be another major flood in this duel world, but Xiao Yan knows very well that when the duel is over, this world world that has been reshaped by several masters of the world world will be destroyed. In other words, the end of this duel world has come.

According to this understanding, both the High Priest of the Griffin and the Ark that Count Sakov talked about are actually some kind of tools built to allow the life of this Duel World to continue when the end of the Duel World Realm comes.

The question is, who told these beings that this world would soon be destroyed? Who is building that ark? Could it be the Black Dragon Cory? Or maybe it's Yale? Or is it some other advanced life?

Xiao Yan had summoned Corey many times in the real world, but the powerful legendary black dragon had never ignored Xiao Yan's call. When he arrived in this world, he was bound by the rules, and Xiao Yan couldn't summon the black dragon. What's more, once he really summons a high-level legend, this practice will undoubtedly violate the rules of the Duel World Realm, and he will be directly kicked out of the Duel World Realm as soon as possible. Therefore, the Young Awakened does not know the whereabouts of Lu Dao Cory until now.

And now, the appearance of the ark has made a great change in the history of this duel world and reality.

Looking at Xiao Yan, Count Sakov continued: "The news of the Holy Grail has been carefully hidden by some people, and this is everything I know so far. It is said that some people believe that once the Holy Grail appears, it means that this world is about to be destroyed. Therefore, until the Ark is built, the Holy Grail will not appear anywhere in Europe, Africa, or Asia Minor. I don't know, and I don't intend to know, who hid this information. There are some things that are too much to know and can only endanger lives. ”

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, although he didn't get any exact news about the Holy Grail, but at least Xiao Yan knew that he and those opponents were now on the same starting line. The Holy Grail news that he couldn't get, and the opponents of the other worlds couldn't get it. In this way, he needs to focus on where his teammates are and the news of the Ark.

"Do you have any news about the Ark?"

Xiao Yan said seriously: "If possible, maybe I can help, but the premise is that I must know the situation of this ark." ”

"As far as is known, the Ark should have been built before the Crusades, but not together. What we can get so far is that the ark was divided into 17 sections and built in different places. ”

"Wait," Xiao Yan's mind flashed suddenly, and then he hurriedly stopped the earl, "You mean that the ark is divided into 17 parts, and the construction began before 1096?" ”

Seeing the earl nodding, Xiao Yan let out a long breath. 17 parts, 17 worlds involved in duels. Construction began before 1096, and before that, the city of Tobel, Xiao Yan estimated that the time when these reconstructed realms were spliced together and began to communicate with each other was also around the time of the Crusades. Is it just a coincidence? Apparently not. This should be a self-salvation for those powerful beings in the 17 Reconstructed Worlds who can predict the future of this Duel World. These powerful beings were more desperate to continue the future of this world than the duelists, so they united with each other earlier rather than fighting each other.

Is it just that this kind of alliance is acceptable to those who control the various worlds? Xiao Yan didn't have an answer for the time being, but he also had a hunch that the Holy Grail might have a closer relationship with the Ark, and maybe only by collecting the parts of the seventeen Arks could he really see where the Holy Grail was.

"It's a real troublesome thing."

Xiao Yan muttered in a low voice, but the earl heard the same sentence. Sakov suddenly laughed and said, "Oh, of course, you must know that the treasures of all of Europe have been almost found by the saints, and it is not easy for you to find new treasures. ”

"Wait, wait," Xiao Yan felt as if he had heard an errand, and he asked again, "You mean, saint?" ”

Sakov nodded and said, "Of course, Lord St. Fleman, you won't have never heard of his name. Speaking of which, even this Imperial Brotherhood is the foundation he laid down, and what I am doing now is only inheriting his will and continuing to observe this Empire. ”

Xiao Yan felt dizzy, the Holy Choir did not know much about the history of Fryman, the official version is that Fryman began to tour throughout Europe after he crowned Henry. In the process, Flemann married the daughter of the Archduke of Swabia and gave birth to a son, who would later become the new Archduke of Swabia. Flemann, on the other hand, died in 1066, and the Pope and the Bishop of Stuttgart attended Flemann's funeral. All of this was asked by Sylvia, and although a member of the Stuttgart Sacred Choir that preached the Gospel of the Lord, although not yet a full member, these basic histories must be remembered. In other words, Flemann lived a normal life.

However, now the Count of Sakov suddenly told Xiao Yan that this was not the case with Fryman, and even the Goldfinger organization that spread throughout the empire was actually done by Fryman. Moreover, the original intention of the existence of this goldfinger organization is to observe the changes in the empire. Is this a coincidence? Xiao Yan's surname in this world is Fabio, and the Fabio family is also a secret observer in Europe in the real world.

Xiao Yan not only felt a little dizzy, but also felt a little incredible, and he said to Count Sakov, "Can you tell me everything about Flemann?" I have come from the East, and my knowledge of St. Flemann is limited to what the Holy Choir sings, but I have never heard of what you say. ”

Sakov looked at Xiao Yan and said, "You should go to the tavern for such a thing, and in the tavern where there are minstrels, you can hear this in its entirety. Except, of course, those who are too secretive. ”

Xiao Yan expressed his understanding of the Earl's disguised eviction order, and he had asked too many questions without showing any benefit to the Earl. The Earl was not obliged to continue answering, and it was time for Xiao Yan to explore the true history for himself. (To be continued......)
