Chapter 435: Xiusi Empire (2-in-1)
I have to say that Shalan's calculated time is very accurate, when he was about to leave the house early in the morning, he happened to wait for Leonard, who was standing at the door, after eating something, Leonard rejected Shalan's idea of letting him have a good rest, and after freshening up, Leonard, who had changed into a set of clothes, followed Shalan and carried out his duties.
The three of them took a taxi to the airport and happened to see Imwen waiting there with Frey.
Walking forward, Sharan nodded to Frey before saying to Coco, "Coco, you're here early. β
"I slept well last night, so I woke up early. β
"So are you ready? Now let's go buy plane tickets, there are five people in total, we need to buy them as soon as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome once we don't have tickets." β
As he spoke, Sharan prepared to go to buy a ticket, but at this moment, Frey stopped Shalan.
"Young Master Shalan, I have prepared the tickets, and I will not go with you this time, so I hope that Young Master Shalan can protect my young lady well." β
Hearing this, Sha Lan was stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay, I will protect Yi Wen well, Mr. Frey, you can rest assured." β
Nodding with a smile, Frey said, "Thank you very much." β
"It's not certain who will protect whom, but don't be protected by me when the time comes, you won't be able to save face, Mr. Shalan. β
"Haha, then I'll thank you, Ms. Ewen, and I'll thank you for protecting me then. β
The two of them talked and laughed, and under the surprised and inquiring eyes of Leonard and Hugh, the two of them said goodbye to Frey, who had left, and walked towards the inside of the airport with the ticket in their hands.
There were a total of four seats in the first class, with Sharan and Irond sitting in the front, and Lynnard and Hugh in the back, at this time Salen got what he had learned from Leynald in the Desert Chieftain Kingdom, and was studying the palm-sized scimitar, and when he just took out the scimitar, it immediately attracted Even's attention.
"Shalan, would you mind showing me?"
Handing the scimitar to Icwen, Sharan asked, "Ink, do you know what this is?"
After looking up and down, Yi Wen gave it back to Shalan, looked at him thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the NO.6 cat spirit of the Tide Knights would be you." β
Hearing Yi Wen's words, Sha Lan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "How do you know?"
"The intelligence of our Grant family is not bad, I naturally knew about the Desert Chief Kingdom some time ago, but I know better than others that the reason why the Desert Chief Kingdom was not completely controlled by the Qingbai Clan is because the NO.6 Cat Spirit in the Tide Knights participated in it, and almost single-handedly destroyed the conspiracy of those guys, and the most important thing is that the Cat Spirit took advantage of this to get the legendary witchcraft passed down from generation to generation by the royal family of the Desert Chief Kingdom into his own hands, but it made some people very greedy. β
"You can all know this kind of information, I really don't know what kind of existence your Grant family is. β
"Definitely something you don't want to know......
Having said that, very few people know about this news, and even if they do, they probably won't have too many thoughts about this legendary witch, a simple legendary-level melee witch tool is not suitable for many wizards, but it's hard to guarantee that no one will have an idea about this thing, so I think you should keep a low profile.
How many people know the identity of the cat spirit? If there are too many, do you need me to help you solve it? If there are few, in the future, you try not to use the identity of the cat spirit to do activities, even if it is to use your stand-in for the event, and definitely do not use your body to participate in the affairs of the Tide Knights. β
Sha Lan looked at Yi Wen, he found that Yi Wen's words just now did not have any joke ingredients, and said with a slight frown: "Yi Wen, is this matter really troublesome?"
"It's not a problem, it's just that the water in here is very deep, you still remember what I told you before, our main material realm is not as simple as you imagined, and the strength of those guys hidden in the shadows is unimaginable, and our Grant family is one of them, so I can clearly know what level of strength those guys have. β
"In that case, then why don't those who know the origin of this witchcraft directly do it to the royal family of the Desert Chieftain Kingdom? Even if it is inconvenient to attack head-on, I think it should not be a difficult thing to secretly do or lure them to hand over this witchcraft with their strength and ability, right?"
"You're right, it's true, but there are some problems here, so that those guys didn't do anything to this witchcraft, it is an ancient contract, those hidden beings can never take the initiative to destroy the balance of the main material world, we can participate in the historical trend of the main material world, but we can only act with the direction of history.
For example, my Grant Investment Company is such an existence that was born in line with the trend of history, and it doesn't matter if it participates in the trend of history in this way, but if you use extraordinary power for the coercion and temptation of a legendary witchcraft, it will affect the balance of the main material world, and the cost will definitely exceed ten times that of a legendary witchcraft.
So no one wants to fight the idea of this legendary witchcraft, and those secret beings also restrict their descendants from doing these things, I remember that a few decades ago there was a descendant of a secret existence family who used extraordinary strength against the armies of the three great powers.
Although he achieved his goal, he was also completely killed by the backlash of the main material realm, and even the family he was a member of had frequent problems in those decades, as if luck was suddenly no longer on them, and now it was only relying on its strong background to support the operation of its family. β
Frowning slightly, Sha Lan asked with some confusion, "In that case, why can they take the legendary witchcraft from me?"
"The price it takes to take the legendary witchcraft from the royal blood of a country, it is naturally impossible to pay the same price as to take the legendary witchcraft from the hands of a transcendent, besides, the former is a matter that affects the balance of the main material realm, while the latter is a matter between people, and it cannot rise to the balance, so you should be able to understand Shalan, right?"
"In other words, my influence is too small, right?"
The same can be said. β
"In that case, then I'll just throw this thing out, it's impossible for me to use the legendary witchcraft at this stage, it's better to throw it out than to hold it in my hand. β
"Throw it out, why don't you sell it to me, I can pay you a good price." β
"Do you need this magic tool very much? if you need it, just take it and take it, it doesn't matter what the price is. β
Looking at the scimitar that was placed in her hand by Sha Lan again, Yi Wen was really stunned, she looked at Sha Lan's sincere gaze without any concealment, and suddenly said with a smile: "Okay, then I will accept this thing, but I won't accept you in vain, after this time the matter is over, it just so happens that the auction house under my name is going to hold an auction, and I am worried that there is no suitable finale item, and now there is no need for me to find it myself." β
"Auctions, do you still have this kind of property to your name?"
Putting the scimitar into his space equipment with his backhand, Yi Wen reached out and hugged Shalan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "There are still many industries under my command, if you are interested, I can introduce them to you little by little, anyway, there will be a day when these industries will be ...... with you." It doesn't matter, it's not bad to make you hungry, right?"
The gasping words and twists really made Sha Lan a little annoyed, he reached out and scratched the bridge of Yi Wen's nose, and whispered, "You guy, be careful that I get angry." β
"Hey, then you're annoyed and angry to show me. β
Shalan and Ewen were talking in a low voice in front, and the two dogs in the back looked at them indifferently, eating hot dog food one by one, their hearts were like water, and they didn't dare to have a trace of dissatisfaction.
In almost half a day, the plane finally landed in Lighthouse City, the border city of the Xiuth Empire, and a group of four people walked out of the airport, Sharan and Ewen took the lead, followed by two bitter single dogs, crossed the road, and walked towards the train station in Lighthouse City with no one in their eyes, they planned to take the train first to Reims Town, where Hugh and their family were located, which was named after their family, both legally and practically, belonged to their Reims family.
Along the way, Sharan sensed where Siraya was, just as he thought, Siraya had come to the territory of the Xiuth Empire at this time, and stayed in one place, and the actions were carried out in a fixed range, Sharan naturally knew that the area where Siraya was located should be the city where their blood clan gathered.
According to the map and Hugh's help, Sharan has largely locked down that city, which is the third largest city in the Empire of Hughes, Malphalian, a city known for its enjoyment, the main economic body of the city is various service industries, and it is also a city full of lights and wine, like bliss.
For the blood clan who like to enjoy, it is naturally impossible to refuse, they will choose to take root in that city, but it is also expected by Shalan, the number of depraved people in that city is innumerable, and they can sell themselves casually for money or other things, which is a good place to gather blood slaves.
And for those blood clans who like to hunt wild food, a few people dying every day in this city is not a big deal at all, and it is said that they are just missing, you must know that the city of Malphalian is definitely the city with the highest disappearance rate even in the entire continent, there is no one!
The train slowly drove into the confines of Reimstown, Hugh looked at the familiar scenery outside the window, and there was a look of excitement on his face, after all, he was a child, no matter how precocious, he also had a child's side.
Reaching out and touching Hugh's head, Sharan said with a smile: "This time we will stay in the Xiusi Empire for a while, you can stay with Archduchess Trea for a while, as for other things, we will do it ourselves, you don't need to follow us." β
Hearing Sha Lan's words, Hugh hesitated for a moment, shook his head a little tangled, and said: "Teacher, I'd better follow you, how can I say that I am also a native of the Xiusi Empire, and I can help you with many things." β
Seeing Hugh trying to restrain his attachment to his mother and family, Sharan shook his head and smiled, and said: "You kid, let you stay with Archduchess Treya well, and you can accompany your mother well, as for other things, it has nothing to do with you, just wait until we leave and then take you away, otherwise you will have some trouble with me, you know?"
"That'...... Well, well, then I'll follow your arrangement, teacher. β
Sha Lan stretched out his hand and gave Hugh a brain meltdown, and scolded with a smile: "I am obviously very happy in my heart, but I have to show a reluctant look, you little devil is really ......"
As the archduchess of the Reims family, Treya obviously already knew about the arrival of Sharan and others, when the four of them walked out of the train, they immediately saw a team of people led by Treya, and welcomed the four of them into two cars with great beauty, Treya and Hugh accompanied Sharan and Ewen in the first car, and Leonard took the second car with Treya's personal guard, surrounded by those soldiers around them, the two cars slowly drove away from the train station and headed towards the Lance family castle located outside the town of Reimsγ
As one of the six duke families of the Lance Empire, the Lance family is an absolute leader in terms of status and power, although it is only Treya who is now in charge of the Lance family, but in the territory of the Lance Empire, Treya has always had an extremely good status, which is the proof that she has raised the strength of the Lance family several steps again as a woman, even the Red Leaf Emperor of the current Lance Empire retains respect for Treya.
It's just that in front of Shalan, Treya is only a mother of a child, and she is also the mother of a child whose child is studying under Shalan, so naturally she can't see any appearance of the Grand Duke of Reims, and only by chance a look and a movement will reveal the posture of the top leader of the Xiusi Empire.
Along the way, the atmosphere was harmonious, and after driving through the long mountain road, everyone finally entered the centuries-old Reims Castle, which now retains its former appearance in addition to the exterior, and the interior has already changed greatly, no longer a dim castle in the traditional sense, but a modern castle with brilliant lights and luxury, which really made Shalan a little eye-opening, for which he gained several white eyes from Eloen.
