After seeing Rupert Fitz take all the precautions, Ljungberg, who was standing by the window, suddenly said, "We hope that Mr. Dodd can help us solve a person." ”

"Deal with whom?, Duke Derwin?" said Leo as he looked at everyone coldly.

"If you can deal with Lord Duke, of course it's good. Rupert smiled and said, "It's a pity that you didn't even kill me, and it's probably very difficult to kill Duke Devon." As far as I know, the Black Forest Ring of the Fran royal family is already on his hand, and it has responded to the resonance of the divine blood in his body, unless he is far away from this continent, or takes the initiative to remove the ring, it will be very difficult to kill him. His Royal Highness Prince Philip should be very clear about this. ”

When he said this, Rupert deliberately looked at Prince Philip on the side, although at this moment Prince Philip tried his best to hold back the displeasure in his heart, but his face also became a little gloomy.

The reason why this battle for the throne ended so quickly and had already had a result before it officially began, in addition to the Duke of Dewin's resolute and resolute character and unscrupulous methods of doing things for victory were unanimously recognized by the military nobles, it was more because of the biggest variable of the Black Forest Ring.

No one thought that the Black Forest Ring would resonate with Duke Derwin's bloodline, and no one expected that the influence of the Black Forest Ring would be so great, the Black Forest Ring made the original unclear attitude of the territorial nobles to take refuge in Duke Derwin's side, and even many territorial nobles who had secretly expressed their support for Prince Philip also turned against each other.

In the end, even Prince Philip's control of the Royal Guard eventually betrayed him, and if it weren't for the fact that he secretly controlled a team of men and horses in Winter Rin City, and also controlled a spare continental train, he might have been placed under house arrest by Duke Devon in the Black Forest Castle like his brother, wearing an iron mask, never to see the outside world again.

Before leaving Winter Rin City, the panicked Prince Philip also tried to solve Duke Devon through the last assassination method, but the result was that he lost all the hole cards he had carefully prepared, and even affected his mother's family, making him flee to the western continent like a lost dog, which also became his biggest heart disease.

Seeing Rupert deliberately uncover this scar on Prince Philip, Baron Maupassant frowned and said coldly: "Rupert Fitz, if you really treat your allies like this, we can cancel the previous negotiation results." At that time, Prince Philip and I can go into exile, and although we have no power, our overseas property will be enough for us to live a prosperous life, but I don't know what will happen to you? Do you think that Dewin's character will allow people like you to continue to exist? Or are you also ready to give up the industry you have worked hard for so many years in the western continent and flee overseas?"

Rupert Fitz's face did not show any expression, he just was silent for a moment, and then turned to Prince Philip and said, "Can all the decisions he makes represent you? ”

"Absolutely. Prince Philip said without hesitation.

"That's good. Rupert Fitz raised his head, feeling as if he wanted to terminate the cooperation, but the conversation suddenly changed and said, "Let's continue with what we just did!"

Rupert Fitz's teasing approach made everyone present very dissatisfied, but they were more thinking about why Rupert Fitz did this, and in their opinion, the other party seemed to have some purpose in doing it.

For a while, everyone was speculating about something in their hearts, no one spoke, and the room became a little quiet.

It's just that Leo, as a bystander, doesn't have such complicated ideas at all, and in his opinion, Rupert Fitz is playing Prince Philip and Baron Maupassant, and there is no deep meaning at all.

Leo broke the silence in the room at this time, and said in a deep voice: "If you came to me to let me see you arguing, sorry, I'm not interested, so please don't waste my time, let's just say it!"

Everyone present frowned slightly at Leo's unceremonious words, and then Ljungberg continued: "We hope that Mr. Dodd you can help us get rid of Jacques Huppert, the commander of the First Legion of France stationed outside the city. ”

"What do I get?" asked Leo directly, not considering the difficulty of the assassination.

"You can get our friendship. Baron Maupassant said.

Leo looked at Baron Maupassant with idiotic eyes, and said nothing.

Baron Maupassant was so angry that he rushed forward to punch Leo, but he finally endured it and turned to look at the others.

"I can pay four million gold flanges for this. Rupert Fitz offered a staggering price straight away.

It's a pity that Leo didn't feel the slightest bit moved, and said coldly: "I'm not short of money." ”

"We can guarantee the safety of your comrades in the Western Continent. Lawrence, behind Rupert Fitz, spoke.

In the face of Lawrence's threat, Leo sneered and responded unceremoniously: "If my comrades and friends are injured, no matter what the situation is, even if they are injured themselves, I will count them on you, and don't blame me for not notifying you in advance." ”

After saying that, he suddenly turned his head to look at Lawrence, smiled and said, "Do you want to do it? Once you do it, there is no room for return, you have to think clearly." ”

I saw that Lawrence's hands were covered with a layer of blood at some point.

Seeing this, both Ljungberg and Claudia took two steps back and distanced themselves from Lawrence, while Baron Maupassant stepped forward and protected Prince Philip behind him.

"I'm sorry, but my butler was too impulsive to listen to the slightest threat. At this moment, Rupert Fitz walked between the two of them, easily defused the tension, and then said to Leo: "You have been with Mr. Rembrandt for so many days, I must be interested in the occult books collected by Mr. Rembrandt, and I also have a book on occultism here, I wonder if it can be used as a reward for your sale." ”

"What books?" Leo asked curiously, releasing his nerves that had been tense with Lawrence a little.

"Book of Nightfall. Rupert Fitz said the title of the book.

Hearing the title, everyone else around them was at a loss, obviously not knowing anything about the book.

It's just that Leo sounds a little familiar, and after looking up the database through the subbrain system, he quickly has the answer, and then he showed a surprised expression, thinking that Rupert Fitz confirmed: "The Book of Night you are talking about is the Night God Sigh in the Thirteen Ancient God Knowledge of the Madman?"

Hearing Leo's words, except for Prince Philip, who is not a person in the dark world and does not know much about the dark world, the faces of the others all changed, and they all showed shocked expressions, and they looked at Rupert Fitz as if they were looking at a monster.

"The night god sighs in your hands?" Ljungberg couldn't help but stir in his heart, took two steps forward, glared at Rupert Fitz with a solemn face, and said with great seriousness: "You shouldn't hold it, you should destroy it, it's a disaster!"

"Well, you're right, the source of this calamity should indeed be destroyed. Rupert Fitz nodded vigorously, as if he fully agreed with Ljungberg's proposal, and then changed his words, and said: "Well, since you have said such righteousness, I will send you to the holy mountain of the Orthodox Curia by airship, and please go and talk to those old men of the Orthodox See, and let them destroy the whispers in the fog in their hands, and I will destroy the Book of Night in my hand, how about it?"

Ljungberg was speechless from the sneering, and retreated to his companion with a gloomy face.

On the other side, Prince Philip sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so he asked Baron Maupassant, "Baron, what exactly is the Book of Nightfall?"

When Baron Maupassant heard this, he whispered to Prince Philip and introduced: "In the era when the French Empire was still ruled by three kings, a clever madman appeared among the monks of the Holy See, and he used his identity to collect the mysteries of the ancient gods that had disappeared from the world of Velon, and compiled them into thirteen books of ancient god knowledge. ”

"Do those books have any magical powers, just like those wizarding curiosities?" asked Prince Philip curiously, and his hand involuntarily touched a few rings on his hand.

"At first no one knew what the power of those books was, it was just that everyone who read them went crazy. Baron Maupassant continued, his face becoming serious, and said, "Later, a mad monk took twelve of the thirteen ancient gods out of the sacred mountain and spread them to all the continents of the Velon. However, for hundreds of years, there was no news of this book, until the Great Plague, when it was rumored that one of the books called Kiss of Death was the cause of the plague. ”

Hearing this, Prince Philip's face also became serious, even after hundreds of years, the great plague that almost wiped out all the humans on the three continents was still a fear in everyone's hearts, and now that someone had a book with the same origin as the book that created the plague, he had to be cautious about this matter.

Prince Philip thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Fitz, I don't think this book in your hand should be leaked out, and should be handed over to the Holy Mountain. If you are willing to do so, we negotiated the terms yesterday according to the terms you had ...... at the beginning."

"Your Royal Highness!" Baron Maupassant immediately stopped, "If you agree to such conditions, what is the difference between you and being under house arrest in a castle in the Black Forest?"

"It doesn't matter. Prince Philip raised his hand to signal Baron Maupassant not to speak, and then asked Rupert Fitz: "What do you think of such compensation?"

Rupert Fitz said with regret on his face: "To be honest, I also want to agree to your proposal to His Royal Highness the Prince, but unfortunately you are mistaken, my book is the Book of Nightfall, not the sigh of the night god." ”

"What's going on?" said Prince Philip, puzzled.

"The monk who brought the twelve books of knowledge of the ancient gods down the mountain tried to write down the knowledge he had obtained from the book," Leo answered Prince Philip's doubts at this time, and said, "It's just that he only finished writing one book, and then he went crazy and burned himself like firewood, so the night god sighed that there were two books, one was the original version of the madman at the beginning, and the other was the reading version of the wood-paid monk." For some reason, in some rumors, two versions of a book will be mixed up, so over time, the average person will also see them as one book. ”

"The Book of Night is a reading version of the Friars, and it doesn't have the power of the original, so there's no need to worry about any calamity coming. Rupert Fitz also added: "If there is any calamity at all, it has been more than ten years since this book fell into my hands, why have I not been affected?"

"That's because you didn't read. Ljungberg said with some-for-tat.

Rupert Fitz smiled and asked rhetorically, "How do you know I haven't read that book?"

"You've read it?" said Ljungberg, stunned, as he stared at Rupert Fitz's expression.

However, Rupert Fitz had no intention of revealing his true intentions, and no longer paid attention to Ljungberg, turned his head to look at Leo, and said, "Mr. Dodd, do you think this reward is enough?"

Leo was silent for a moment and said, "I need to see the book before I can give you an answer." ”

"Absolutely. Rupert Fitz was clearly prepared, and as he spoke, he turned to Lawrence beside him and nodded.

Lawrence took two steps forward, took a leather bag from his body, opened it, took out a metal box from which it looked like brass, but the weight was a little wrong, and handed it to Leo.

Leo took the box, didn't think much about it, and just opened it and looked at it.

I saw a book that looked about as thick as a dictionary and the paper was ordinary bark paper lying in the box, and on the cover of the book, a large number of strange words were all over the surface, as if a neurotic had recorded his babblings, and anyone who saw it would have an inexplicable sense of dizziness.

While others can only get information about the surface of a book by looking at it with the naked eye, Leo is obviously more intuitive, and he sees the book as it is.

Because the moment the metal box was opened, his spiritual perception immediately felt a chilling spiritual energy emanating from the book and wrapping around his body.

After that, he turned on his psionic vision, observed the book through his psionic ability, and saw a vague phantom of psionic energy on the surface of the book, and tentacle-like psionic energy was extending from the phantom and wrapping around his body.

The moment he saw this phantom, he also found that his daily value of will was slowly decreasing, just like seeing omega-level creatures such as the golden giant deer, but his reaction was not so strong, and it would only decrease a little in five or six minutes.

Leo turned off his vision, closed the metal box again, and was silent for a moment before he said to Rupert Fitz, "I've taken the deal." Now give me the information of the commander of the First Legion, the more detailed the better. ”

Ljungberg said: "You don't need to look at his information, I will invite him to the police headquarters in Miria City tomorrow to discuss the inspection post and defense problems in Miria City, you just need to assassinate him at the gate of the headquarters like the last assassination of the three brothers." ”
