Chapter 250: Conditions
"Who dares to trespass into the palace?" the girl in white was not slow to react, she drew a thin sword from the wall and guarded it in front of Catherine. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Courage is commendable, but if I were you, I wouldn't casually show my claws to someone who is absolutely invincible. With the voice, a man with black hair and black eyes walked in. "Let me introduce myself, my name is Kennan, and I'm an adventurer who wants to make a deal with Her Majesty. ”
"Bold, how is it that Your Majesty is a pariah like you who can meet at will, and if you are caught now, you can still get Her Majesty's forgiveness. ”
"Vera, step aside, and let me speak with Mr. Kennan. Queen Catherine stopped the girl in white and continued.
"But, Her Majesty," the girl in white seemed to ...... to say something.
"Alright, stand down, if Mr. Kennan wanted to do us any harm, I'm afraid he would have done it long ago. And those who can pass through the blood-colored thorns are definitely not ordinary people. Since His Excellency Kennan has not made any unfavorable moves against us so far, it means that there is still a possibility of negotiation between us. In that case, let's talk about it openly. ”
The girl seemed to want to say something, but Queen Catherine's words had to retreat behind her in a sullen manner, and glared at Kenan with wide eyes. If the girl had practiced the secret technique of the sword in the pupil, then Kenan might have been pierced with a sword by now, however, the girl had not practiced this kind of secret technique of the immortal family, so the girl's resentful gaze only made her eyes appear a little bigger.
Kenan grinned and pulled out a chair and sat down, throwing a gem on the table, "This is what I'm going to sell, I wonder what price Her Majesty will pay for it?"
Queen Catherine gently picked up the sapphire that had been thrown onto the table. The gem is the size of a thumb, and the entire gem is evenly cut into 64 faces, each of which is cut identically, showing the skill of the carver. The whole gemstone is crystal clear, pure and immaculate, and not even the slightest impurity can be seen as far as the eye can see. If nothing else, this gem alone is worth 10,000 gold when it is put on the market.
Catherine, of course, would not think that a man who could not even see through her strength came to the palace late at night to show her a jewel. Although this gem is indeed very rare, for the kingdom's treasury, it is still possible to find a lot of this kind of thing.
When Catherine used her true vision technique to look at the gem again, she found that the gem was not empty, but was carved with a dense array of runes, and these runes flashed one by one, showing the extraordinary nature of this gem.
"This, this is a photo gem?" Queen Catherine had some insight after all, and soon she found the name of the gem from her memory.
"Sure enough, it's Queen Catherine, and her knowledge is unusual. Kennan leaned back in his seat and exclaimed. "Now that you recognize it, let's take a look. ”
Catherine didn't answer, she slowly poured magic into the gem, and the runes on the gem lit up one after another. When the magic was filled, a pillar of light shot out of the gem, and then an image appeared in the air, like a projector, but a three-dimensional picture.
In the aerial image, a room that appeared to be a study appeared, and two middle-aged men sat in the study......
Catherine frowned, because she knew both of these men, the Marquis of Lines and the Marquis of Cummons of the Purple Flower Family and the Lion Family. Both of them disagreed with her politics and had been the mainstays of the war with Tetalia, which had been deliberately provoked. Seeing the two of them together, Catherine felt a bad feeling in her heart.
Sure enough, I only heard Raines in the video say to Kaymens, "Kemmens, you don't have to give an inch, it's generous enough to give you one-third of the land as a fiefdom......"
"Are these bastards already preparing for a rebellion?" Catherine squeezed her fingers, her slender ten fingers turning white from her own hard work. However, Catherine didn't care, but continued to watch with full attention.
The image is very comprehensive, even the details of the two people's discussion of the action are completely recorded, and even the discussion between Raines and the old butler about hiring the killer at the end is also completely recorded.
Because this gem was specially made by Kenan, the image and sound are very reproducible, as if you were there. If she hadn't known she was looking at an image, Catherine would have even taken out her sword and hacked the two traitors to death.
However, people who can sit in such a high position as the king have a good kung fu for most people. At least, no matter how intense the inner activity is, it can be calm and calm on the surface.
The video was over, and the light on the gem dimmed. It turned into an ordinary sapphire again, as if everything was a dream.
Catherine let out a sigh of relief, sorted out her mood for a moment, and then turned to look at Kenan, "Thank you, Lord Kennan, for telling me about this, I feel very heartbroken for the kingdom to be in addition to this kind of traitor, and I am also very grateful for Lord Kennan's righteous deeds." I am very satisfied with this deal, but I don't know what you need to make this deal, as long as it is not too excessive, the Kingdom of Erathia will try to satisfy you. ”
"Oh, you're ready to negotiate a deal so soon, I thought you'd pay off or throw a few dozen gold coins at you?" Kenan said, a little surprised.
"Your Excellency said with a smile, if such a great merit could not be rewarded sufficiently, then I, the king, would have been knocked to the ground a long time ago, how could I still live to this day. Alright, Lord Kennan, please state your terms. Catherine gently picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of it.
"Well, I'm a rough man, so my requirements are very simple, land and gold. As long as these two conditions are met, as long as the value is appropriate, as for the specific reward, Your Majesty, you can do it. Kennan crossed his fingers and leaned back against the backrest, smiling.
"Land and gold?" Catherine thought for a moment with a frown, "According to the laws of the kingdom, nobles who report and prepare rebellions can receive a title lower than the nobles and one-tenth of the family property of the rebellious nobles. However, this title can only be inherited by oneself, and it is a fictitious title, with no territory, only a little kingdom salary. However, we can lower the title by one level so that we can get a title with land. For the merits of Lord Kennan, it is possible to receive a fictitious earl title or a fictitious viscount title, and a town as a viscount. Of course, as compensation, the town can be chosen by your Excellency. In addition, I can get one-tenth of the property of the two rebel families, and if Your Excellency Kennan is not satisfied, I can also personally contribute 5,000 gold coins to make up for your loss, what does Your Excellency Kennan think?"
