Chapter 252: Ransom
After listening to Owen's description of the "inside story" of the Trier incident, George III pondered again for a moment before nodding and saying:
"In this way, the Delion family is almost wiped out, and it is indeed the responsibility of those witches......"
He was actually very distressed about this, after all, there were still many internal beings cultivated by the Rune Kingdom in the Delion family, and as a result, all of them lost contact in this incident.
But His Majesty changed his mind and pondered, "However, I still think that you should release the 'Red Witch' and the 'Yellow Witch'...... Well, given the losses of the Delion family, I will give you some compensation. ”
After speaking, he showed his "majestic" posture and informed the other party that this decision could not be refused.
And because of the fact that nearly half of the high-ranking members of the "Witch Sect" are almost surnamed "Brian", it doesn't matter to Abner whether they are let go or not, he emphasizes that the loss is nothing more than wanting some benefits, so while pretending to be "unwilling", he followed the king's words:
"Okay...... But I'm going to ask for a ransom of 2,000,000 gold pounds! ”
George III was a little stunned when he heard this, according to his understanding of Owen, he was ready for the other party to ask for a "game" with "Duchess Georgina", or "Beckland's most dazzling jewel", how did he expect the other party to ask for money?
But after thinking about it, I think it's normal, the hundreds of years of accumulation of the Delion family have been ruined, and Owen really needs a lot of money if he wants to revive the family.
But isn't two million gold pounds too much? Are two "ageless witches" worth the price? After all, the "Mystery Queen", who is also in Sequence 3, only has a bounty of 650,000 pounds in Rune.
Even if this money is finally paid by the "Witch Sect", it must be paid by the Augustus family first......
As a king, although there is no shortage of this money, it cannot be regarded as a "fool" who can withdraw money at will.
As his thoughts turned, George III tentatively asked the price: "Two million pounds is too much, what do you think of one and a half million?" ”
"Deal!" Abner replied without hesitation.
Anyway, the money came for nothing, although it was only half the price of his "Viscount Beldan".
......George III felt for a moment that he might have been trapped, but he quickly came back to his senses and felt that it was good to use more than a million gold pounds to satisfy several parties, and it was good to solve this thorny matter, so he didn't say much about the ransom, and asked instead: "How did you know His Highness Zarathu?" ”
Abner groaned for a moment before answering the question: "The vice-president of the 'Esoteric Society' is also a beautiful lady. ”
George III's heart suddenly dawned, and his mind made up many stories for a while.
Then, after chatting with Owen about Trier's political situation and follow-up plans, he asked Vera, who had been standing beside her, as if she was a puppet, to leave Sodrak Palace with Owen.
After their figures disappeared in this remote room, George III turned his head to the side, as if talking to himself, as if asking, "What do you think, Ancestor?" ”
"Owen's blood is still in my 'order', ready to make him obey orders." A cold, emotionless voice came from the shadows behind the throne.
"That's good......" George III nodded, as long as Owen was still in control, then he was not afraid that he would have any thoughts.
"Do you think Zarathu's request for an alliance should I accede?" George III asked again.
"Amon does need to be on guard, Zarathu is right...... the 'Black Emperor' is in a sense the best choice for stealing god-ordination rituals, in addition to 'soothsayers' and 'apprentices'." The emotionless voice sounded again.
"That means you're inclined to ally with Zarathu?" George III didn't ask why, his own ancestors didn't say it, naturally he had his reasons.
"It is also possible to form an alliance with 'Abraham...... But whoever they were, they were Amun's enemies. The cold voice said here and reminded again:
"However, do not reveal the location of the tomb until they have signed the contract in my witness."
"I see!" George III bowed slightly, he was also inclined to form an alliance.
For some reason, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, originally he thought it was the pressure brought to him by his sister, but when Vera was "subdued" by Owen, this uneasiness did not disappear......
Therefore, George III hoped that more angels would be on his side, so as not to have an accident at the final ceremony of the "Black Emperor".
Of course, the details of the alliance will have to be agreed upon by the other members of the Augustan family, so it will take some time......
……
After riding back to her mansion in the carriage with Abner, Vera glanced in the direction of Sodrrak Palace, sneered and shook her head:
"You can't decide what you want to do with your alliance...... This also Xiao wants to be the 'Black Emperor'? ”
Hearing her mutter, Abner smiled and said, "Times have changed, and the current king doesn't have that much power. ”
"But whether it is the 'Inquisitor' or the 'Black Emperor', they must carry out their own will...... the symbol of the 'Emperor' is not just by getting a crown of the 'Byron Empire'......" Vera shook her head again, expressing her disapproval of George III, "Even if you succeed in the end, the state will definitely not be too good." ”
Abner agreed with her words, but felt that there was no need to think about it so much, because he did not think that George III would survive to the end.
After all, compared to Klein in the original book, the power he can mobilize is much stronger!
If "Zarathu" is arranged to be buried in the mausoleum, and there is a "witch" as an internal response, George III wants to be promoted to the "Black Emperor"? Dream on!
If it weren't for Hugh's desire to grow up and avenge her father with her own hands, coupled with the uncertainty of where George III's body was, the power that Abner could muster now would have a great chance of severely hurting him.
After all, an extraordinary person like George III who has not experienced much battle, even if his personality is high enough, his combat power is actually much worse...... This can be seen in his response to Triss in the original book.
At this time, Princess Vera changed her "face" again, different from her usual majesty, in front of George III, and the appearance of the little girl just now, she very ambiguously leaned into Abner's ear and said, "I'll go take a bath first...... Do you want to be together? ”
Is the "fog of indefiniteness" even the personality "uncertain" and "changeable"? Abner came to his senses and once again sternly refused.
After Vera turned around and walked into the bathroom, he immediately put the "Owen" clone into the "Alvin's Answer Labyrinth", allowing the finished body to teleport back from Trier.
