"Lord Viscount, are we really going to hand over 500 warships?" The adjutant had a look of disbelief on his face.

Just now, the black butler and the Viscount Tiebi had been discussing secretly for a long time, and when their own Viscount came out again, his face was full of shock and anger.

Then, in the astonishment of everyone, he ordered the fleet to begin the handover of warships.

"Do you need me to say that again? Give it to them! Since they are stronger than us and their fists are harder than ours, they are qualified to demand war reparations from us! Viscount Tiebi grimaced.

"But......" said the adjutant something.

Although in the end, the Viscount did not promise half of the other party's lion to open his mouth, 500 warships were not a small number, not to mention that it also included 100 Black Flag warships.

Even if Viscount Tiebi is Grand Duke Houghton's right-hand man and close confidant, he will definitely be severely reprimanded and punished by the Grand Duke when he returns.

Moreover...... This is not the hard-liner style of your own Viscount!

What kind of ecstasy soup did the other party pour into Lord Viscount?

"No, I have my own measure!" Viscount Tiebi said coldly.

Outsiders can't see how turbulent his heart is under his cold face at this moment.

It was the secret he heard that was shocking and terrifying!

Compared to the seriousness of this matter, 500 warships are not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Even being able to exchange 500 warships for such a secret is already worth the price.

……

"Why did the ducal family, which had been royalists for hundreds of years, suddenly change its flag and become the most staunch princeling?"

"Grand Duke Horton is already the honor of dukes, at this time to invest in his grandson, even if he finally ascends to the throne, will Grand Duke Horton be able to go further?"

"After all, the grandson is just the grandson, even if it is from the dragon, can the second prince really change the surname of the imperial royal family from Goth to Houghton in order to repay the favor?

If not, is the risk and return of this investment somewhat disproportionate? ”

"His Excellency the Viscount is following the Grand Duke of Houghton and is one of his closest people, hasn't he noticed some anomaly about His Excellency the Duke?

For example, to stay away from those with spiritual ability, or for example, there are always some objects around you that shield spiritual power? ”

"And the biggest anomaly...... What could it be more than a deep, twisted love for your grandson? ”

"The duke's grandson disappeared mysteriously, but the duke was indifferent to it, and he didn't even investigate the biggest suspect, is this a moral degradation or the annihilation of human nature?"

"Have you never thought of these questions for Your Excellency the Viscount?"

……

The words of the black butler just now were heavily struck in the depths of Viscount Tiebi's heart.

At first, he scoffed at Ma Zhe's almost absurd so-called "secret".

However, after a series of evidences presented by the other party, he even took out a large number of photos and video materials of the second prince's secret base......

He finally faltered.

He thought of the strange seclusion of Grand Duke Houghton in recent years.

I thought of the black-robed guards who were in more and more frequent contact with the Duke's Palace.

It occurred to me that every year, the Duke of Houghton would meet with His Highness alone to catch up.

I thought of the Duke and the Second Prince, the same as the Second Prince, and the rejection of those with spiritual abilities.

I even thought of the one placed in the Duke's living room every time he was summoned, which is said to be his favorite stone sculpture of "Janice with a broken arm".

That special pattern...... If you are not mistaken, it should be the "cowardly magic stone" undoubtedly......

Clues are linked together, pointing to the terrifying truth......

Although such a thing as "seduction" is unheard of even in the history of the Empire, it ......

As a high-ranking nobleman, he naturally has certain information that ordinary people cannot access.

For example, it is said that deep in the core of the Emperor Star, there is a secret research institute dedicated to spiritual power technology, and many secrets of the royal family, including the "Desperate Elixir", come from here, which is extremely mysterious.

Another example is the chaotic era of the empire thousands of years ago, when there were people who carried out large-scale forbidden human experiments.

Although it is said that it was later banned by Goth XVII and all the materials were destroyed, as we all know, hundreds of years have passed, and the research resources of spiritual power technology have basically been monopolized by the royal family.

When it comes to the development of spiritual power technology, no one in the imperial family can match it.

The water in here is very deep.

But if what that guy said was true......

The thought that the Grand Duke had become someone else's marionette many years ago made him shudder in his heart!

If the Grand Duke is controlled by others, then isn't the so-called "secret mission" that he is now carrying out by himself meaningless? Or even aiding and abetting?

Although there is no evidence to prove the truth of what the Black Butler said, Viscount Tiebi is also skeptical.

But from the bottom of his heart, he has basically believed the other party's intelligence, which is the main reason why he is willing to pay this high "toll" and "intelligence fee".

Go to his twin stars, go to his mission, what he is most anxious about at the moment is to return to the empire to verify the truth of the matter!

"What about that guy?" Viscount Tiebi suddenly asked.

"Huh? Which guy? The adjutant was a little unresponsive.

"Another black-robed soul!"

didn't say anything, but in his heart he was naturally resentful of the black butler who slaughtered him.

Viscount Tiebi gritted his teeth and swore that he would meet someone in a black robe again in the future, and he would be beaten once he saw him! Fight until you can't even recognize it!

"Huh? Oh! You're talking about the secret guard of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, right? The adjutant finally reacted and immediately held his head high.

"Lord Viscount, I have ejected him and the No. 1 escape pod according to your request, and at this time, it should be on the way to Proxima Centauri."

Viscount Tiebi was stunned for a moment, and a row of question marks appeared in his head......

"This grandson! What opponent will never have a large number of high-level equipment? We've encountered 10,000 legendary mechas!

He actually dared to play tricks on the verge of death, this is a deliberate attempt to mislead us into hitting the muzzle!

I was furious when I found out and immediately pressed the launch button!

Lord Viscount, don't worry, my loyalty to you is evident in the sun and the moon, even if the other party is the second prince's henchman, if you let me die immediately, I will never let him live for a second longer! ”

Viscount Tiebi: "......" (??!! ##）

That guy probably has clues that he was charmed by the spirit of the second prince, and you actually exiled me so easily?!

Hello, please ask the leader first, the soul is light!

Noticing that the Viscount's face was different, the adjutant finally sensed that something seemed to be wrong.

"Lord Viscount, there is ...... Any questions? He said carefully.

“…… No problem, I'll give you another task now. Viscount Tiebi was expressionless.

"Tell me, I promise to complete the task!" The adjutant immediately straightened his chest and said loudly.

"Before we finish handing over the battleship and get out of this damn galaxy...... Get that guy back for me! ”

"Uh...... Yes?! ”

Again...... Catch it back? What's the operation?

Isn't it that you want to sink your body in the sea? And now you want to get it back?

Why? Is it scary?

Before he could come back to his senses, the Viscount's angry roar suddenly sounded in his ears.

"If you can't get it back, you don't want to live one more second!"
