Chapter 26: The Game
At the door of the parlor, Ron saw Morey Commers, who was waiting here with an apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry, Lord Ron, the Chemers cannot refuse a request from His Highness, and I will compensate for this on behalf of the Cummers family. ”
With that, Morey pushed open the door to the meeting room and made a gesture of please.
Ron gave him a grim look and walked into the living room.
The door closed softly from behind.
Upton had short red hair that stood up like a flaming flame that didn't match his feminine face.
"Ron, disciple of Lord Elvis, hand over the Cornus family crest in your hand. ”
Upton stared at Ron with a scrutinizing gaze and shouted, "That badge originally belonged to a second-level apprentice in Wolfheart, it doesn't belong to you. ”
Ron sneered in his heart, this level of dismount was still a little hot, and he said unhurriedly: "I think this sentence will be more convincing if Morey says it." ”
"The apprentice is dead, and I suspect you killed him. ”
Upton had already listed more than a dozen charges in his heart, just waiting for Ron to refute it, he could press this black cauldron on Ron's head.
It doesn't matter who the hapless guy died at, as long as his badge is in Ron's hands, then he was killed by Ron.
"So what?"
Ron unexpectedly asked rhetorically, interrupting Upton's train of thought, "A second-level apprentice is just a second-level apprentice, if he dies, he will be killed, do you want to kill me to avenge him?"
"You ......" Upton choked, it was completely different from what he had imagined.
"You are a provocation to Wolfheart, and you will pay for it!"
Upton, who felt that his majesty was being provoked, began to be a little angry.
"The people of the Soul House don't think so. Ron shrugged, unimpressed.
If he was helpless, he might be afraid of this blatant framing, but since he had his back to the Tower of Nightmares, he didn't need to have any scruples, an illegitimate child who didn't even have a name, and only dared to take the name of the heir of the wolf prince to a place like the Cummers family, he didn't need to have too many scruples.
Upton roared, "You're insulting Wolfheart, Cole killed him, killed this guy who dared to insult Wolfheart." ”
Before the words fell, a scorching breath came from Ron's back, and at the same time, a powerful energy fluctuation belonging to the third-level apprentice locked Ron.
Ron didn't have to look back to know that the sorcery behind him was the Ball of Fire, a level zero sorcery that could easily and seriously injure him.
Backed by the threat of death, Ron's right hand quietly held a potion, and although he didn't believe that this Upton Highness could be a madman, Ron still didn't want to continue to feel the feeling of being held in someone's hands.
"Ice Guard. ”
An icy aura separated Ron from the ball of flames, and Morey hurried in, blocking Ron's back.
"Your Highness Upton, the guest invited by the Ron Master Commers family, please do not harm him. ”
"Morey, you want to shelter this guy who insulted Wolfheart?" Upton was furious.
"Lord Ron. Morey shouted anxiously.
Ron still didn't look back, just looked at Upton with a smirk, "What do you want? Kill me, or do you want me to apologize?"
Ron's change of attitude made Upton think things were back on the expected track, and he continued to threaten: "Hand over the recipe for the boiling blood in your hands, I can forgive your rudeness, or I'll let Cole burn you to charcoal." ”
"It turned out that the target was the recipe for Boiling Blood. Ron nodded noncommittally, automatically ignoring the threat behind him.
Upton wants to get the approval of the wolf king and return to the core of the power of the wolf's heart, this undisguised desire, or ambition, can't hide it from Ron, and naturally can't hide it from the old fox Morey.
If Upton really had the character of fighting if he didn't agree with him, even if he was the illegitimate son of the Wolf King, he would not have survived until now, after all, the Wolf King's descendants have all died.
Upton's appearance at the Frost Moon auction means that the two have formed some kind of tacit understanding, and Ron ponders the relationship between Upton and Cumers.
Could it be that Comers, who has been outside the core of Wolf's Heart Castle, wants to take advantage of this turmoil to make a bet, and the object of the bet is still such an illegitimate child that no one is optimistic about?
Driven by curiosity, Ron activates the Eye of Truth.
Seeing Upton's body data support, Ron vaguely guessed a little truth, Morey, the old fox, is indeed very courageous.
Ron turned slowly, and instead of looking at Upton, he looked at Morey, who had his back to him.
"The recipe for Boiling Blood is not for sale, but no one can take it from me for nothing. ”
Ron was intrigued by the lineage of the Cummers family, which had been passed down for hundreds of years.
Morey's body stiffened, slowly dissipated the ice shield, and turned to look at Upton, whose face was a little gloomy, until he nodded unwillingly.
Cole dissipated the orb of flame in his hand and quietly left the hall, locking the door.
There was an eerie silence in the room.
The old man, who had controlled the Cummers family for fifty-two years, looked at Ron with a calm gaze.
"His Highness has no intention of being an enemy of His Excellency Elvis, and so is the Cummers family, and I hope that this collaboration will make us friends, not enemies. ”
The details of Elvis's several disciples, Morey is no stranger, from Turing to Margaret, to Roy and Ron, compared to Elvis's alchemy, which is ranked first in the entire Ash Council, whether it is Turing or Margaret, they are not like Elvis's disciples, although they all show amazing talents, but they don't understand alchemy at all, they only know non-stop fighting.
Only Roy and Ron were engaged in alchemy research.
At one point, he thought that Roy would be the true inheritor of Elvis.
To this day, he has seen the riots caused by the blood-boiling potion, and Ron, who can refine this potion, obviously has a chance to get Elvis's true inheritance than Roy.
"It's not a partnership, it's just a deal. Ron corrected.
His own strength is too weak, and the water in Wolf's Heart Fort is too deep, and Ron knows very well that he is not qualified to join this kind of gamble.
Even with Mentor Elvis behind him backing him, he was not qualified.
Morey looked at the young man with some jealousy, still with a straight waist under the threat of death.
"The Cosmos family's harvest warehouse will be open to you in exchange for the recipe for the blood-boiling potion. ”
"Including the blood of the Nile rock python?"
"Including the blood of the Nile rock python. ”
Morey nodded without hesitation, as long as he could get the formula, all the effort was worth it.
