Chapter 116: The Past of the Two

"My name is Sinon. ”
Lucas laughed in surprise and said, "Huh...... I didn't expect the two of them to be so cheerful, and they didn't hesitate to say their names. ”
"Does it make sense to say a fake name?" replied Aruka with a shrug, "Could it be ...... We're afraid you won't be able to find you?"
Sinong said politely: "Compared to you, the lord of the country, our two brothers are just insignificant little people, and there is no need to hide their names. ”
"You will indeed recognize me...... And Mr. Sinon, are you too modest?" said Lucas, clasping his hands behind his back and endorsing it, "the redhead of Whitegrass Village...... At the age of ten, he traveled around the world with the swordsmanship teacher Cui Hake, visited the elites of the major mercenary groups, and learned the way to become a mercenary in actual combat and communication. Although your swordsmanship has always been inferior to your own teacher, you have done a sensational thing, and you have ...... in the Duchy of Grantham."
"Stop!" said Xinon to his feet, his cheeks tense as if he were about to crush a mouthful of silver teeth, his eyes wide as if they were about to erupt with rage. His figure appeared at the door of the cell in an instant, and the Sword of the Day passed through the crack in the iron fence and pressed against Lucas's neck.
Aluca had known Sinoon for nearly a decade, and he had never seen such a gaffe...... In his impression, Sinong's expression was either serious or polite and humble, in short, always personable. Even if he was beaten by Aluka by the collar for sending Bellamy to the royal city, Sinong did not fight back in anger, but remained silent with a blank face.
What happened in the Duchy of Grantham that made Sinon unforgettable? Aluca's curiosity was itching, but looking at Sinon's appearance, he couldn't ask about it.
Lucas lowered his eyebrows, looked at the [Sword of Daytime] placed on his neck, the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared, and said coldly: "Do you know why I went to the prison alone to find you two?"
"Because you haven't died, want to try it?" Seeing that Xinon was not in the right mood, Aluka teased to ease the atmosphere.
But......
Lucas's answer made the atmosphere even heavier.
"Aluca...... You guessed it wrong. Lucas smiled again, as beautiful as an ice flower blooming under the moon, "I dare to come alone...... It's because on the continent of St. Ainos, there are only five people who can defeat me. And the two of you, obviously, are not included in it. ”
Hearing this, Aluka snorted coldly and said, "In that case, you will still be driven to the border of the motherland by the army of the Hill Empire?"
Before Lucas could reply, Sinoon stretched out his right hand and raised his palm to stop Aluka from continuing. As you can see, his right hand is trembling slightly......
Aluka said suspiciously: "Brother Sinon, you can't believe his words, do you......"
Xinon withdrew the [Sword of the Day], glanced at Aluka with a complicated gaze, and said, "I can be sure that he is not lying...... In other words, there are really only five people on the entire continent who can defeat him, do you know what I mean?"
To be able to see through Miel Green's lies, and to see that Lucas was not lying, Sinon certainly did not rely on unreliable psychology, but after the last game, he exchanged all the Enos coins for an accessory.
[Real falling chain.]
Type: Accessory
Quality: Excellent
Equipment Effect 1: Immunity to illusions and psychic attacks (below Rare quality).
Equipment Effect 2: A lie can be seen every 24 hours.
Equipment Effect 3: Increases the wearer's faith by 100.
Description: Under the sun, there is no vanity. 】
Xinong bought this pendant mainly because of the increased 100 faith points, which can greatly increase the power of divine magic and some bloodline skills similar to divine arts. But what I didn't expect was that the special effect of seeing through lies also had a little effect...... Although for the most part, this effect is a chicken rib. It could only see through the first lie it heard after 24 hours of cooling, and if anyone misremembered what they had for breakfast, they were overheard by Sinon during small talk......
All in all, Xinong used the special effect of [Real Falling Chain] to confirm that Lucas was not lying. [Real Falling Chain] is quite rigorous in judging lies, and it is not that Lucas "feels" that he is the sixth strongest in the mainland, so it is not considered a lie. And only when he is "really" the sixth strongest in the mainland can he pass the polygraph of [Real Falling Chain].
During his three days in prison, Aluca asked Sinon how he had found out about Miel Green, and that's when he learned about the real chain. Now when I heard Xinong's words, my heart suddenly cooled.
Assuming that the God Slayer is the strongest combat force in the Overworld, then Lucas Guy's combat power is equivalent to the Silver Fortress of the Viscount rank, which is a fierce man who can kill a few people from thousands of troops without getting blood.
Suppose there are creatures in the Overworld that are stronger than the God Slayer...... Then Lucas Gay's strength is even more terrifying......
"I know you're all smart people, and you shouldn't do anything stupid......" Lucas said slowly, he didn't seem to have any animosity towards Aluca and Sinon, "and I'll go on." After the events in the Duchy of Grantham, Mr. Sinong followed his master back to Baicao Village and became a regional mercenary. But unlike ordinary regional mercenaries, you are very ambitious, and you know every merchant who travels between Ludi City and Baicao Village, and you can also talk to the big caravans that travel around the world...... Moreover, after you leave your teacher to work alone, you will occasionally help the snakes and insects in the underground world for money......"
Xinon said in a bad tone: "Ridiculous, do you want to accuse me? The money earned as a mercenary is not enough for my sister to study, and many mercenaries will take some black jobs, but I am more direct." And what about you aristocrats, who have to do nothing and enjoy endless wealth......"
"You don't have to explain it to me...... Lucas didn't care about Sinon's explanation, continued, "and you, Aluca...... It's even stranger. When you were eight years old, you suddenly appeared in the Hermit Forest, and were adopted as an adopted son by Xinong's teacher, Trihak, and subsequently became a mercenary...... No one knows where you came from, no one knows who your parents are, no one knows your nationality...... No one even knows if you're human or not. ”
"What else can I be if I'm not human?" Aruka sneered twice, "Can I still be a god?"
Lucas lowered the corners of his eyes and asked in a calm tone, "Why not?"
"Hey......" Aruka's eyes became serious, and he said with a hint of anger, "Everything you just said is nothing more than to let me and Brother Xinon understand that for some reason, you have investigated us to the bottom...... I admire your intelligence-gathering skills, but please don't say stupid things to insult each other's intelligence. ”
Lucas laughed, "Well, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about something else...... Do you think I, as the Grand Duke of Guy, am a man who is stronger than the King of the Rhine, so why should I pay attention to you two civilians who have just become knights?"
"I guess...... It was because of Raymond Quinn, the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Kingdom of the Rhine. Princess Catherine, who had always been cold, suddenly brought two unknown young men to the dinner...... Some wolf-like, human-faced beasts with evil intentions are beginning to investigate ......us," Aluka recounted.
“......”
Lucas was silent for a long time and then said awkwardly: "Although I didn't understand many of the words in your last paragraph, it was generally ...... You're right. I didn't expect ...... It's still a shallow ...... in the next place."
"I'm inexplicably depressed......" Aruka narrowed, "Dead Shemale, you can't have a crush on Catherine, do you?"
Lucas seemed to be said to be sad, suddenly turned around, clasped his hands behind his back, and said in a dry voice: "This matter should start with the establishment of the Rhine Kingdom......
"No!" said Aruka, "this is the beginning of storytelling, and it started thousands of years ago...... What does this have to do with my question?"
"At that time, the Heroic War had reached the end of its life, and the remnants of the Aeolus Cult, the Water God Cult, and the Vulcan Sect had completely collapsed, and the era of the Natural Sect ruling the continent had come to an end. The White Sect, the Sword Halberd Sect, the True Love Sect, the Knowledge-Seeking Sect, the Red Sect, and the Truth God Sect got rid of the oppression of the natural sects and quickly absorbed believers. With the help of the Red Sect, the first Rhine King established the Rhine Kingdom as the capital of the Rhine King City in later generations, the Lionheart City at that time. ”
"But...... The territory of the Rhine Kingdom was small at the time, was it?" asked Aluca. He didn't ask where Lucas had learned about it, much of the buried history was a secret to the commoners, but at best an after-dinner conversation for the higher-ups.
"That's right...... The newly founded Rhine Kingdom was very weak, unable to expand, and was in danger of being invaded by foreign enemies at any time. In desperation, the first king of the Rhine had no choice but to ask for help from thirteen other powerful families who believed in the sun god, on the condition that they ...... When the situation stabilized, the Grand Duke was divided and the Principality was allowed to become independent. ”
"I see...... these things Aluka didn't read from the history books, "No wonder the Grand Duke of the Hill Empire is at most the lord of the city, but the Grand Duke of the Rhine Kingdom can rule a country......"
"With the passage of time, the bloodlines of the Thirteen Duchy and the Rhine royal family have become thinner and thinner, and their strength is obviously insufficient compared to the Red Sect that has produced many strong people. By 200 years ago, the Red Sect had become a monster in the South, and no one could defy the will of the Red Sect.
Since the foundation of the Red Sect is in the Sun Temple, close to the Rhine Royal City, and the Rhine royal family is the descendants of the Sun God, the Red Sect wants to maintain the status of the Rhine royal family in every possible way. Many generations ago, a pope made it a rule that every Grand Duke should send his heir to the Rhine as a proton from an early age, so that they would not become betrayal. ”
After Lucas finished speaking, he turned around and said with a gloomy face: "And I...... It used to be a proton. When I was five years old, I traveled all the way to the Rhine King's City, and it was not until I was twenty years old that I returned to succeed me as Grand Duke. In those days, I had to learn to play dumb, to hide my awakening bloodline, to hide my strength that was getting stronger every day...... It is even more necessary to resist the urge to kill every member of the Rhine royal family and the group of gods of the Red Sect. ”
Aluka snorted, "No, right? The Rhine royal family doesn't really want to kill you......
"You think so?" Lucas approached the iron fence, his blood-red eyes full of hatred, "I...... It was my father's second child. ”
Aruka realized something, and her Adam's apple moved, unable to speak.
"My sister ......," Lucas continued, "was assassinated by the Inquisition of the Red Cult because the watchers were aware of her hidden powers......
