The emir thought carefully about where he should stand at the time of the intrigue of this candidate for the throne.

He chose to join Byron's camp before, but he didn't think much about it, just to revitalize Blackpool Town and take advantage of the trend.

And now, after learning that Byron betrayed humanity, he has no reason to trust other candidates for the throne, after all, even if Agnes's eyes are sincere, maybe they are pretending, but her city is very deep, and even Emir has deceived her.

So, he can go directly to find Frazzi's whereabouts and then carry out his plan.

However, in the face of Agnes' invitation, he involuntarily chooses to believe in this woman, and even he himself does not know why.

He couldn't sense any traces of magic on Agnes, so it couldn't have been some kind of magic.

However, he has always taken one step at a time, and as long as the goal has not changed, he will not delve into it.

Then, at the dinner table, Agnes talked as if she had opened a conversation, and even Lucius was surprised, because in his impression, His Highness was not like this.

Agnes has talked about her experience when she was a child until now, and she also said her greatest ambition in this life, as well as the situation in the royal capital.

Of course, Emir knew that Agnes just wanted everyone to understand her as soon as possible, so that they could cooperate in depth in the future.

If it was before, he would definitely be moved, and then willing to swear allegiance to Her Royal Highness, but after Byron's incident, he would not easily believe this kind of statement.

After all, dreaming of such a thing, no matter how good it is, it is useless, it only makes sense if you put it into action.

So Emir just nodded slightly as a gesture of politeness as a gesture of politeness, but it was impossible for him to trust Agnes completely, and even if they were to act together next, he would always be on guard.

After a while, Agnes really mentioned the specific matter that she needed the help of the Emir, that is, to kill the dark knight Cornes who had infiltrated the royal capital, and as for Byron, she said that she would deal with it herself.

Naturally, Emir would not have any objections, first of all, Cornes could not even beat him now, not to mention that he had Ophelia and Cosette to help, and Agnes had such a powerful knight by his side, it would be easy to deal with Byron.

"I'm sorry to disturb your conversation, Your Highness, I want to ask Miss Cosette," Lucius suddenly remembered something, and said solemnly, "why did you go to the Tower?" ”

“…… Uh," Cosette asked, slightly surprised, "aren't you locking down there?" I don't even know why I'm here. ”

"......" Lucius scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I really don't know, but I found that hole and felt strange." ”

Seeing that Lucius and Agnes were confused, Cosette told her about her experiences these days, and put forward her own conjectures.

"You think Cornes' goal is what's behind the door?"

"Well, that's the only possibility, otherwise he wouldn't have been wandering around the royal territory, and he also put a dragon-scale monitor lizard there to stop us from approaching."

Lucius nodded, then asked Agnes for instructions.

"Your Highness, it seems that it is necessary for us to go there and have a look, please give the order."

However, he noticed that Agnes's expression was very wrong, and she looked preoccupied.

When the emir saw her like this, he also guessed nine times out of ten.

"Your Highness Agnes, do you have anything in mind? Tell us about it, maybe we can help. ”

Agnes glanced at the crowd, then sighed, intending to tell the truth.

"Truth be told, behind that door is the secret of the royal family, about a thousand years ago, the predecessor of the Elnos Empire, the Yukhir Empire is still in full swing, they are a country that worships the world tree, dreaming of one day conquering the entire land, and later, in order to realize this dream, the king used the power of the whole country to create an ultimate weapon with the shape of a giant, completely driven by magic, but the people of that era did not master magic at all, the source of the power of the giant is at the cost of the life of a young dragon, but it is a coincidence, The young dragon was the heir of the king of the dragon clan at that time, so the angry dragon king directly broke into the royal capital of the empire, and fought with the giant made of steel, after three days and three nights of fighting, the entire king was destroyed, the power of the giant was exhausted, the world tree was cut off by the dragon king, as for the dragon king himself, he was also besieged to death by humans because of exhaustion, in short, there was no winner in that battle, and the king who originally had great ambitions became lifeless from then on, and died of illness within a few years, and then there was a rebellion within the empire, In just ten years, the huge empire has completely collapsed, along with the glorious civilization and history they have established, so in the history books of the current Elnos Empire, that empire is only mentioned in passing, just because they don't want the people to know that the human ambition to conquer the world has been thwarted, and then they themselves live in a country led by usurpers. ”

After listening, Emile couldn't help but think about it, and Cosette asked a key question.

"So, the giant behind the door is the one created by the Yukhir Empire, right?"

Agnes nodded silently, she had always looked at the reputation of the royal family, but at this moment she still told the history that should have been dusty.

Because she once felt ashamed of her family's status as a usurper after understanding the truth, it was not until she matured later that she was relieved, so she had the ambition to become a king.

When the time comes, she will make the history public, and then lead the people to peacefully deal with other races in order to conquer the world, rather than using force that will only lead to defeat for both sides.

"So, Your Highness, why do you think Cornes is eyeing that giant?" The emir asked with a gloomy face.

In fact, he was more or less able to guess, but he didn't want to believe it.

"The former Uxir Empire tried to conquer the whole world, so that weapon was created, so there is no doubt that Cornes also has the same idea, it seems that the target of the demon race is not only humans, but also other races."

"So what are we going to do?" Cosette suddenly became worried.

After all, the survival of the current elf race is a big problem, let alone fighting against weapons that can destroy the world.

From Agnes's story, it can be known that this weapon is equivalent to the strength of the dragon king a thousand years ago, Cosette once heard his father say that the great dragon king is an invincible existence on the entire continent, and even the strongest elf king is not an opponent, so once the iron giant is activated by Cones, this land will instantly become devastated.

"Actually, don't worry too much," Agnes changed her gloomy eyes and smiled slightly, "That thing has no source of power, and Cones alone can't activate it, unless ......"

"Unless what?" The emir immediately asked.

"Hehe, the young dragon who once drove the giant, its magic talent is far superior to that of the dragon king, that's why after learning of the death of the young dragon, the dragon king will be angry to that point, and now the existence that can have that power is only the king of the demon race, but I got the exact news that the demon king has been killed by Byron."

"Well, Your Highness, I'd like to make that right," Ophelia said immediately, "We killed the Demon King, with the Emir taking the lead and several of our friends coming to help. ”

"Well, it seems that my intelligence sources are still a little biased."

"No, we did belong to Byron's camp at the time." The emir said casually.

"Oh, now that the Demon King is gone, that terrifying weapon can't be activated, it seems to be a false alarm." Cosette sighed.

However, the emir did not think so.

In his opinion, Cornes has been lurking among humans for hundreds of years, and he was also a human being when the demons were at war with humans, so he must have known quite a bit about the history of mankind, and probably knew that history.

In that case, if he didn't have the magic power to rival that young dragon, why would he have his eye on this iron giant?

Although this is only the Emir's speculation, if this speculation is true, then the world will still be in danger, so the priority now is to control the Iron Giant, and then completely eliminate Cones.

Emile then told Agnes about her idea, and she agreed.

"Alas, what a trouble...... In that case, put aside the battle with Byron for the time being, and let's deal with the weapon first. ”

The others agreed, and without further ado, they hurried to the entrance to the hole in the tower after they had hastily eaten their dinner.

Before leaving, Lucius was still worried that Agnes did not have enough combat power to protect him, and maybe Byron would take advantage of it, but Agnes shook her head and said.

"Don't worry about this, I'll go with you."

"Ah, this ......," Lucius grimaced.

After all, they are not here to play, but to fight Cornes at any time, how can they bring the people they need to protect to the battlefield.

"It's all right," Cosette said ill-intentionedly, "I'm the princess of the elves, and you've been beaten to the ground, so what's a little dark knight?" With you, who can hurt Her Royal Highness. ”

"Cut, you just want to see my master in danger." Lucius said indignantly.

"Why, I'm not saying you're amazing."

“……”

"Alright," Agnes said to stop the two of them when they saw that they were still chattering and arguing, "I can always stand as far away as I can, I promise to stay in your sight, otherwise if I stay here, I may be plotted by Byron's people, and you will be distracted." ”

"Hehe, I heard you, your master said so." Cosette immediately put on a smug look.

At this time, the emir spoke.

"Your Highness Cosette, we have to leave as soon as possible, or it will be bad if Cornes preempts us."

"Hmph." Cosette ignored the master and servant and left.

Lucius didn't say anything more, took Agnes' hand, and followed.
