The moment he saw the length of the wooden box, Marquis Reuben's face changed, the pale skin on his face instantly turned red, the muscles at the corners of his mouth trembled violently, his hands were bruised, and he slammed the table, and he tried several times but failed to stand up, and finally covered his chest and gasped, large beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

Frightened, Shur threw away a healing technique, lest this important person die in the temple with too much excitement.

Fortunately, Marquis Ruben was in good health and finally survived.

Almost rudely snatching the wooden box from the nun's hand, the old marquis trembled and tried to open the wooden box, in fact, it was just the most ordinary box, which was found in any carpentry shop, but the old marquis still failed several times in a row before he successfully lifted the lid of the box.

Cowering beside her brother, Lisa stole into the box and was disappointed.

There was only one very ordinary one-handed sword in the box.

Although it can be seen from the style and appearance that the history of this sword should be a long time, the maintenance is okay, it is a good antique, but that's all, with the vision of Marquis Ruben, even if there is a row of antiques in front of him every day for him to knock on, it will not be so gaffe, there must be other reasons.

There were other reasons, of course, the old marquis stroked the long sword, and a few tears flowed from the wrinkled corners of his eyes.

This is indeed a very ordinary one-handed sword, at least 1,100 years ago.

It was a time of chaos and war, and Nolan Reuben, the founder of the Ruben family, was a young squire who followed the third Marquis of Rose and accompanied him into battle.

This sword was given by the Marquis of Rose back then, and it accompanied Nolan throughout his life.

On the cruel battlefield, it was this sword that cut the throat of the enemy in front of the marquis, it was this sword that was placed on Nolan's shoulder at the canonization ceremony of the honorary knight, and it was this sword that killed the leader of the rebel army when the rebellion broke out in the marquis, and it was also this sword that cut off the ambitions of the rebels in the civil war of the four generations of heirs.

Nolan cherished this sword all his life, and even on the last night before his death, he was still caressing the long sword, reminiscing about the bond between the past and the Rose bloodline.

After his death, the Sword of Nolan became one of the most valuable treasures of the Reuben family, and along with the later Winged Lion heraldic shield, it was passed down from generation to generation and almost became the symbol of the Reuben family.

One hundred and fifty years ago, however, the symbol of the family was lost.

The civil war has affected not only the Temple of the Dark Moon, but also the Reuben family.

Following in the footsteps of Rose, the Ruben family fights to protect the Queen. However, no one expected that the defeated army would find a way to go around the back and launch an attack on the Rose Collar, including the back cover of the Ruben family.

A large amount of property was robbed, many rebels fled to remote countries with the looted treasures and survived, and relied on the harvest of selling stolen goods on the black market, and actually lived well in the second half of their lives, as for those stolen goods that were disposed of, a small part was bought or robbed by the original owner, but many more have been accounted for since then.

The Sword of Nolan is also on the list.

Because of the loss of the family symbol, the Marquis of that generation committed suicide in front of his ancestors in the family cemetery, and each subsequent Marquis of Ruben regarded the recovery of the sword of Nolan as the most important task and never stopped searching.

It's a pity that nothing was found.

The family obsession of more than 100 years has been passed down from generation to generation, all the way to Anderson Lu himself, and to this day.

"I knew it, I knew it was it. The old marquis gently stroked the long sword, like caressing his lover's sleeping cheek, "I know when I see the size of the box, and it must be it that you take out." No wonder, it's the only one that can make you so sure, not to mention the debt problem, even if you let me exchange my life, I'm afraid I will not hesitate to agree. ”

"This is not like what an old nobleman should say. Shul was very considerate and did not disturb the old marquis's happiness of enjoying this moment, but only poked Lisa lightly in the back.

Of course, the great Lisa-sama knows how to cooperate with her brother!

The girl rolled her eyes, ran to the old man's side, looked up at the old marquis like an innocent child, and wiped the tears from the corners of the old man's eyes on tiptoe, and her immature voice sounded so gentle and sacred: "The Lord says, what is lost, will be regained, and what is longed, will be reaped, and it is the efforts of your generations that have touched fate, and my brother can return it to you." So don't cry, you should be happy. ”

Well, Tarina's stern gaze hit Shul in the face, and she silently condemned Shuer, but unfortunately the condemned person just shrugged his shoulders lazily, as if he had done nothing.

Of course, the Lord of the Dark Moon has never said such a thing, this is what Shuer said, it seems that the habit of tampering with the holy word casually has been passed down smoothly, which is very good.

"Thank you. Wiped on his face by his soft little hands, the old marquis even softened his voice a lot, touched the girl's head and smiled, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”

"Uh-huh. Nodding happily, Lisa ran back to her brother, took Shuer's hand, put her arm against him, and showed half of her face, showing a simple sweet smile to the old man.

"A year ago, by chance, I got the news. Facing Shure again, Marquis Ruben returned to his usual old fox, but the comfort from the girl made his eyes soften a lot, and even his voice softened, "A small nobleman without an heir in the Confederation of Theros has died, and his relatives are sorting out his collection to prepare for auction, and it turns out that there is this sword among them, they don't know what kind of sword it is, and they only plan to auction it as an ordinary antique." I really didn't expect that for more than 100 years, it would be exiled to a country tens of thousands of kilometers away. ”

"I sent a large number of people over to buy it back at any cost, and I also issued an order from the thieves' union, and if I couldn't buy it, I had to grab it back. But I was so disappointed that the sword had been stolen before the auction, and I had once again lost the chance to retrieve it. ”

"Well, I stole it with my own hands. Shuer admitted without guilt that the dangerous task of infiltrating the enemy's lair and assassinating the enemy in his hometown can be easily accomplished, not to mention just stealing something, "I have also been entrusting a friend to inquire about this sword from the thieves' union, and he told me first, and then reported the commission completed by the thieves' union." ”

"Don't look at me like that, precious news sells double copies, this is not the basic quality of thieves, just get used to it. Actually, I knew it earlier than you, but I couldn't afford it with you, so I just stole it in advance. Anyway, I put the starting price in their warehouse, and I don't take advantage of them. ”

"I remember that this kind of antiques with a bad stock price start with a gold coin. The old marquis squinted at Shure.

"yes, so I put a gold coin in it, and I've been distressed for a few days. Schul fully illustrates the definition of shamelessness.

"Shall I thank you?" asked the old marquis the most crucial question. It was true that it was Shul who sent the sword of Nolan to the Marquis of Reuben, but if he hadn't interfered with it, maybe the old marquis would have gotten it a year ago.

"Thank you or not, it's up to you. Shure's smile was meaningful.

"Personally, I really owe thank you. "There are many things that can't be looked at, only the facts, and the fact is that Shul helped him recover Nolan's sword, and other than that, there is no if.

"It's just business, nothing to do with personal matters. ”

"I see, it seems that you have been preparing for at least a year ago. The Marquis of Ruben said thoughtfully, "You already knew that there would be such a day?"

"How is it possible, I don't know prophecy. Shure shook his head and said, "However, if you want the Darkmoon Church to continue smoothly, you as an executive can't get around it. Someone as troublesome as you, once you become an opponent and don't hold a few hole cards in your hand, I'm not sure to solve you. In this case, it is better to prepare the hole cards as soon as possible, maybe when you can use it, you see, you can use it now. ”

"How many?"

"Hehehehehe. ”

"Well, I'm throwing in the towel in this game, and you're winning beautifully. The two of them laughed a few times tacitly, and the old marquis sighed, put down his pipe and took off his hat to salute, "No matter what the process is, thank you very much for returning it to the Ruben family, you will get the ...... of the Ruben family"

"As I said, it's just business, and nothing to do with personal matters. ”

After a moment of silence, the old marquis nodded: "Then, thank you to the Dark Moon Church for returning this precious relic, the so-called debt is just a joke of small things, I hope I can do something to compensate your sect for its generosity and kindness." ”

"And the Lord said, God so loved the world, and all my believers let him be merciful in his heart, and regard the affliction of others as his own hunger and thirst. Whoever believes in me, let the heart of mercy be unreciprocated, and keep silent love. ”

"Oh, I see. The old marquis pondered for a moment and sighed, "You are a very greedy person, hehe, then, the Darkmoon Church will reap the long-term friendship of the Ruben family, and for at least three generations, the family will not forget the kindness of the Darkmoon Church." ”

"Then congratulations to the Marquis Ruben for retrieving the family relics and comforting his ancestors. With a holy smile, Shul drew a circle of his fingers on his chest.

"Congratulations to the Darkmoon Sanctuary on resolving another debt crisis, and I wish you didn't have another one, hahaha. Holding the wooden box, the Marquis of Ruben laughed and left, just like Shul said, the old man could finally wash away the shame of the family and let the ancestors rest in peace.

"What a troublesome day. Seeing the old marquis leave, Shul sighed, "However, it's all settled, Lisa, I'll ...... back."

Halfway through speaking, just as he wanted to turn around and give his sister a reunion hug, there was a gust of wind behind him.

The girl's soft body threw herself on Shuer's back, her legs wrapped around her waist, her hands tugging at his hair, and shaking it vigorously from side to side.

"Brother bastard, you're finally back! Let you leave me to play by yourself, let you secretly eat delicious food, let you flirt with two bad women, I'll fuck me, I'll fuck me. ”

"Hey, hey, are you crazy, come down, come down, Tarina, come and help, your archbishop is going to murder the faithful. ”
