Volume 3 The Shadow of Ukhil Chapter 189 Prelude to Contradictions
When the appointed time came, Emir packed the forged weapon into the magic ring and brought it to Anthony's house.
Cohen had been waiting for a long time, and after taking the weapons, he looked at them all, and found that each one had been forged exactly as described on the drawings, and of high quality, much better than the ones that had been commissioned by the Stuart family before.
He immediately smiled and thanked the emir incessantly, and said that he would pay the emir a million gold coins.
Although these weapons did cost hundreds of thousands of dollars according to the market price, and the emir had already been mentally prepared, he was still frightened when Cohen said a million gold coins, after all, he had never seen so much money in his life.
"This ...... That's too much," said the emir, "not so much, give me fifty or five hundred thousand." ”
"Hehe, Emir, are you worried that I won't be able to come up with that much money?" Cohen smirked, thinking that the Emir was being polite to him.
"When, of course not, it's just that I have limited space here, I'm afraid I can't take too much." The emir spoke bluntly about his predicament.
"Oh, that's it, it's okay, I'll give you a magic ring with more space at that time, and since you can't take it, then I'll remember it for you first, and I'll hand it over to you with the holy sword when the game is over."
“…… Well, that's fine. The emir finally nodded, he had not yet recovered from his shock.
In the end, after the two were delivered, they chatted for a while, and Cohen also said that he hoped that Emile and Ophelia would also watch the next semifinals, and he would pay for all the tickets.
After leaving Antony's house, Emile walked down the street, his mind still in a trance, and his steps became vain.
"A million, a million, what a hill it must be......"
The emir muttered softly and continued on his way, noticing the familiar figure not far behind him.
Ernst followed him all the way to Anthony's house, and then saw firsthand his dealings with Cohen.
Ernst also felt desperate about this, he did not expect that this young man, who was about to become the hope of saving the family, would betray the family, but reason still prevailed over emotion, and he immediately rushed back to the family to inform Frazi about it.
However, when he turned and ran suddenly, he accidentally bumped into a man in armor.
"Ah, Lord Knight, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ernst subconsciously apologized.
"Oh, it's okay, it's you, it didn't hurt, did you?" The male knight appeared polite.
"No, no, that's going to be quit."
Ernst was glad that the other party did not dig deeper, and hurried away.
Looking at his departing back, the corners of Cohen's mouth rose slightly, as if everything was expected by him.
Some time later, the Emile returned to the family mansion, and as he passed through the hallway, he ran into Ernst who had just come out of Frazi's room.
"Hello, Mr. Ernst." The emir smiled and said hello.
“…… Oh, oh," Ernst nodded, his eyes wandering a little, "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, so I won't talk to you more, farewell." ”
"Well, goodbye."
However, not long after the two passed by, Ernst turned back.
"Wait a minute, Emir, I almost forgot, Mr. Frazi wants to talk to you, and he is not in a hurry, you can pick a free time to meet him."
“…… Oh. ”
The emir scratched his head and continued to his room.
However, as soon as he pushed the door open, he was startled by the sight before him, and saw a naked girl lying in front of her.
"What's going on? Your Highness. ”
He hurriedly covered his eyes, but he could still see a little bit between his fingers, and then, a white figure immediately blocked his eyes.
"Ignoring indecency, really, aren't you going out? Why did you come back all of a sudden? Ophelia said angrily.
"But, but this is my room." The emir wanted to cry without tears.
“…… Heck, don't worry about it at this point, you can stand outside the door for a while. Ophelia forcibly pushed him out and closed the door.
"Then again, what's wrong with her, Your Highness?" The emir asked with concern.
"I'll explain it to you later."
Ophelia said only that, and then fell silent, and the emir had to wait patiently.
After about half an hour, the door finally opened, and Ophelia motioned for him to come in.
"So what the hell is going on here?"
"Hmm...... Where to start? Ophelia was lost in thought, and after a moment continued, "Just three days ago. ”
Ophelia then told him what had happened to them in the royal domain in the past few days, including the fact that they had fought with Cornes a few more times, but unfortunately they still let them escape, and then they investigated the garrison of the entire area to facilitate their movements, and finally they went deep into the underground of the tower and saw what was behind the gate.
"Oh? What's behind that door? The emir asked casually.
"Well, this is too hard to describe, anyway, we want to take you to see it next."
“…… Uh, what doorway can people see when I come to a mountain village? "Emir was puzzled.
"It's okay, brainstorm ideas, and I'll tell you some other information later, and you might be able to come up with something in your head."
"But does this really have anything to do with Cornes' conspiracy?" The emir doubted this.
Indeed, according to Ophelia, there must be some ulterior reason why Cones has been hovering around the royal domain.
"It can only be said that there is a great possibility," Ophelia said with a serious face, "We investigated the entire royal territory and found no other anomalies, the only thing that was wrong was what was behind the door, and His Royal Highness Cosette also said that after she followed the traces of Cones' magic to enter, there was nothing but a door, but then when the two of us went in together, we encountered a dragon scale monitor lizard." ”
"Well," the emile nodded, "the dragon-scaled monitor lizard was probably put in by Cornes to guard the gate so that you wouldn't get near it lest you discover his secrets. ”
"But he put it there, just to have a sense of no silver here, but, fortunately, with the help of His Highness Cosette, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to deal with that guy."
"I see."
Emile then looked at Cosette, who was still unconscious on the bed, she was already dressed, and it was clear from the marks on the sheets that her clothes were still a little wet, and it turned out that Ophelia had been helping her dry her clothes.
Maybe he thought that the emir would stay in the forge all day after he went out, so he temporarily made His Highness look like that.
At the thought of this, Emir still couldn't help blushing and his heart beating, and in order to divert his attention, he returned to the topic.
"By the way, why is Your Highness like this, I remember that she didn't fall unconscious after the last atavistic phenomenon."
"Hmm, I don't know about this, anyway, she turned into the original appearance of the elf at that time, it should be that the effect of the elf spring is not enough, or she can only absorb a little elf spring for a long time, so that her atavistic degree continues to accumulate, and then it all burst out at that time."
"So if the elf's horn is broken, she'll regain her human form, right?"
"Well, that's how it should be." Ophelia nodded.
The two continued to sit on the edge of the bed and watch over Cosette, who woke up in the evening.
It turned out that she had not fallen into a coma, but had slept beautifully, and in the process of care, the emir looked at her delicate and ruddy face, and was a little moved.
When she woke up, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, but she didn't seem to be fully awake.
"Dad, I'm hungry, go get me something to eat, otherwise be careful that your daughter's chest is hungry, and it will be even more difficult to get married."
When the two people on the side heard this, they couldn't help but snicker, maybe the emir couldn't help it, the voice was too loud, and Cosette finally came to his senses.
"You, what's the matter with you? What the hell are you laughing at? ”
Cosette knew why, and her cheeks flushed, but she questioned them loudly to hide her shyness.
"No, nothing, just a sudden reminder of something happy." The emir hurriedly explained.
"Oh? Then tell me about it. "Cosette didn't give up.
"This ...... Poof. The emir was about to continue his lie, but when he remembered what he had just said, he was amused again.
“……”
Cosette stared at him and Ophelia with a serious expression, and after a moment, she laughed for some reason.
"I really can't help you, okay, okay, I'm not angry."
“…… I'm sorry. ”
At this time, the two regained their looks and then apologized to her.
"It's okay, you know me better now, don't you? At least for Ophelia, you know I'm not the kind of person who has a deep city, right? ”
"Uh, who? Who said you have a deep city? Ophelia asked aloud, but her eyes wandered.
The Emile immediately saw that he didn't expect Ophelia to be such a serious person, and there were times when he joked, but he was still convinced, and he was always on guard when he came into contact with Cosette.
"Hehe, it's really yours." Cosette narrowed her eyes at Ophelia.
“…… I'm sorry, I was wrong. Ophelia was embarrassed and quickly lowered her head to apologize.
"Oh? Know it's wrong? Then accept the punishment willingly. ”
Cosette smiled evilly, and then pushed Ophelia who was sitting on the edge of the bed down, and the other party was completely defenseless, and fell directly on the bed, and couldn't break free after being suppressed.
Before she could react, Cosette immediately reached under her armpit and grabbed it randomly.
"Ouch, don't, don't touch there, haha, hahahaha...... Your Highness, I really know that I am wrong, spare me. Ophelia burst into tears of laughter.
Looking at Ophelia's embarrassment, Cosette didn't stop at all, however, just when she was unscrupulous and defenseless, Ophelia suddenly grabbed the itchy flesh on her waist, and she suddenly lost her strength, and was finally controlled by Ophelia.
Emile watched the two play in amazement, and then smiled knowingly, he didn't expect them to have such a side.
After a while, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he walked out silently and closed the door thoughtfully.
After calming down, he suddenly remembered Ernst's words, and the other party said that he would pick a free time to go to Frazi, but in fact it might have been just a polite remark, but he didn't expect him to take it seriously.
So, he quickly gathered his mood and walked towards Frazi's room.
