Chapter 58: The Secret Pact I
Suddenly hearing the old man say the name of the wind and thunder, Wang Feng was taken aback, and then suddenly realized.
Who is the old man, he has been in and out of the palace for a long time, and it is estimated that he can memorize all kinds of related classics, not to mention that the wind has such a special look, how can the old man see the wind on his back and not recognize it.
smiled and said to the old man: "Old man, although you have the heart to send me something, I am very grateful, but you don't have to perfunctory me with what I have in hand!"
The old man laughed twice and said, "Do you really think that this thing will be yours if you hold it in your hand?" ”
"Oh!" Obviously, the old man had something to say, and Wang Feng asked, "What, is there any other secret about this thing?"
Hawkins glanced at him a few times, asked him to take the wind down, reached out and stroked his bowed back, and asked, "Don't you think it's strange? With such an important artifact, which country would not be tempted, but why is there no national bounty, but only private individuals who have a task in the Adventurer's Guild? And this artifact has been lost for so long, and it has been recovered for so long, how can there be no national power interested in it?" Moreover, the Adventurer's Guild was obviously indulged by the Celestial Dragon Empire, and the Celestial Dragon Empire also let the artifact return to its original owner without saying a word, have you never doubted it?"
Wang Feng said proudly: "Old man, I really haven't paid attention to this, since you always know, then give me a good talk and let me open my eyes." ”
Hawkins glanced at Wang Feng a few times proudly before he said: "Boy, listen up, this artifact was originally a set, and it turned out that what was lost was only a part of the crossbow arm, and due to the seal on the artifact, the part that was stolen could not be used at all." Only when the artifact is integrated can it be used normally. ”
Wang Feng shook his head and said, "I already know this, so you don't need to say it." ”
The old man smiled, and then said, "Then do you know that there are at least four sets of such complete sets of artifacts in the palace of the Vulcan Empire?"
This news was so shocking that Wang Feng couldn't help but open his mouth wide. Four sets, is there a big auction of artifacts?
Seeing Wang Feng's surprised eyes, the old man was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Storm and thunder and lightning are just one of them, and the other four sets are called Storm, Storm and Fire, Hurricane Falling Rock, and Whirlwind Ice. Together with the wind and thunder and lightning in your hand, they are collectively called the Five Divine Crossbows. More than a hundred years ago, Storm Thunderbolt was taken out on a mission, and as a result, the crossbow bearer was killed and two artifacts were stolen. The Empire has never had the whereabouts of the artifact. ”
"Then the Adventurer's Guild posted a bounty for the wind, why didn't the Vulcan Empire track down the whereabouts of the thief?" Wang Feng asked rhetorically.
"How could it not be, but all this time, there has been no whereabouts of the thieves. The old man said, "The Ankru family is the family of those who went out on a mission with the wind and thunder, and they have been trying to find the whereabouts of the stolen artifact for hundreds of years. The Adventurer's Guild was commissioned, but apparently there were no clues for more than a hundred years before I met you. ”
"However, because there are as many as five sets of artifacts, the empire doesn't take this to heart at all, but the people who carry out the mission in the future are much more careful, and the artifacts circulating in the outside world only have the name of the wind and thunderbolt, and most of the others don't know at all. In fact, in addition to the magic attached to each arrow, several other crossbows named after the wind have the same power. The old man introduced the artifact.
Knowing these secrets that may not be known in the world, Wang Feng is also very grateful to the old man, after all, the old man regards himself as a real friend by putting his heart into his heart like this.
After thinking about it, Wang Feng asked, "Then does Your Majesty the Emperor already know that the wind and thunder and lightning are in my hands?"
When Hawkins heard this, he nodded and said, "What do you think was the reason why the Ankru family was exterminated? Is it really because it harbored a few registered masters? Which nobleman in Thani City has not taken in a few, is it really worth making a big deal about it? The real reason why they were exterminated was because of their loyalty. ”
Wang Feng raised his eyebrows and repeated the old man's words: "Loyalty?"
"Of course, His Majesty the Emperor of the Vulcan Empire allowed the descendants of the Ankru family who were killed at that time to find the lost artifact, and gave them a lot of help openly and secretly, but the later Ankru family is no longer the original family loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and loyal to the empire. They have forgotten their responsibilities and secretly organized a powerful intelligence system, and after obtaining the artifact, they did not directly return the artifact to the state, or even report it, but used the artifact to carry out other activities. When the old man said this, it was a pity, and he continued: "So, in a fit of rage, His Majesty the Emperor gave an order to exterminate the clan. Before they were wiped out, they asked if you had taken the wind and thunder. ”
Smiling, Wang Feng said, "This is not the only reason why their family is extinct, there should be something else. ”
The old man sighed and asked, "What do you know?"
Wang Feng said with a smile: "The reason why the Ankru family was wiped out is because they no longer have the value of use. Including the patriarch, all the people of their family in Tani City have become wasted people, and there is no possibility of using them, so in this case, their huge family property should be classified into the state instead of wasting it to a group of wasters, I think, this is the real reason why they exterminated the clan!"
Hawkins thought for a while, ate a few pieces of snack, and then said: "You say that, it makes sense, maybe that's the reason! But Wang Feng, our Emperor His Majesty knows that the wind and thunder and lightning are in your hands, aren't you in a hurry and afraid at all?"
"Scared?" Wang Feng smiled: "Why should I be afraid, the wind and thunder and lightning were snatched by me in the face-to-face battle, it is my trophy, according to your rules, even if you want, you have to pay the corresponding ransom or other price." So why should I be afraid?"
The old man laughed twice and said, "Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty's order will be snatched back from you?"
Wang Feng looked at the old man's face and said, "Your empire has lost things for more than a hundred years and has not said anything, will it break this precedent for me? ”
Gently put on a high hat for the old man, and the old man was also very useful. Wang Feng continued: "Also, if you really want to rob, can you bear the consequences of failure?" The latter sentence reveals Wang Feng's strong self-confidence, as well as the threat of nakedness. Wang Feng is no longer the obscure Wang Feng he used to be.
The old man understood that he was telling the truth, but he just shook his head and sighed, lamenting that young people don't have enough respect for the old people now.
After being blocked back by Wang Feng, he sighed for a long time, and the old man said to Wang Feng with a smile: "Someone has already told His Majesty the Emperor about my return, and he already knows that I brought you back with me." And you are still the suspect of the city guards, and Your Majesty has already done some investigation into you. ”
"I knew that the artifact was on you, and Your Majesty wanted to retrieve it immediately, but Your Majesty still saved me a little face and didn't do that. As he spoke, he also showed an expression that you have to admit my affection, and was glared back by Wang Feng.
The old man glared at him unwillingly, and said, "But you are really insidious, you even disguised yourself as a first-class mercenary, if it weren't for my knowledge of your strength, everyone would have been deceived by you." ”
Wang Feng said helplessly: "I was originally a first-level mercenary, what is there to deceive." ”
"However, your level also illustrates the flaws of the guild system on the mainland, who will work hard for this so-called level if you are really powerful, and we must have lost a large number of outstanding talents for this. The old man stretched the question.
"His Majesty the Emperor also feels that these systems are a bit unreasonable, so he will fully support me in the Agni Sect. I think he had the same problem as I thought. I briefly explained the influence of the wind in the mercenary world and the samurai to His Majesty, and His Majesty also thought that it was just right to use the wind and lightning to spy on the reactions of the Samurai Guild and the Wizards Guild, so let you pick up the cheap, and the good things will be given to you. ”
Hearing this, Wang Feng smiled bitterly: "This is called picking up cheap, I must not be entangled to death by those mercenary warriors and magicians who hunt for treasure every day! Are you emperors and nobles in power all vampires, and you will never let go of what you can use?"
The old man laughed a few times and said: "This is also what I suggested to His Majesty the Emperor, anyway, Your Majesty sold my old face and let me be the sole master, and I will pass it on to you, from now on, this wind and thunder and lightning will be rightfully your thing." ”
Wang Feng retorted: "Use the things in my hand to exchange for my favor, where is there such an easy thing, don't even think about your abacus." ”
Old man Huo smiled: "I'll give you a way to really control the artifact, do you think this is enough?"
"A real control artifact?" Wang Feng asked rhetorically.
"Yes, even the people of the Ankru family don't know the true secret of the artifact, and they can't use the true power of the artifact. At most, the power exerted in their hands is only half. The old man said firmly.
Wang Feng was surprised: "Only half of the power is exerted, it is so powerful, it seems that the artifact is really not to be underestimated!"
The old man quipped angrily: "Didn't you clean you up even if the power was great, I'm embarrassed to say that the power is great, but, boy, you're really good, and it's the first time I've heard that someone can survive the blow of two major artifacts." ”
"Although you have some ill intentions, I have decided to reluctantly accept it, and tell me your method to see if it is true. ”
The old man suddenly asked, "You know the method, how do you plan to use the artifact?"
Wang Feng smiled slyly: "If I decide to sell it, will you be disappointed?"
