Chapter Two Hundred and Seven, Averiska's Treasure
Whenever Erich Dönitz saw Mannakorn, the Cormier admiral was amazed by the energy of the other man, Mannakon was always able to drink with his subordinates, but he was able to get up for breakfast before the first rays of the morning sun hit the windowsill, compared to this leader, Aaron Salion, the leader of the Arabelle Five, who always liked to come out of the house in the afternoon when he was not on duty.
The military is a place where there is a strong sense of order, a clear hierarchy, and a strict order of promotion, and in the school of Ogma, the god of knowledge, teachers will encourage students to ask questions and use classroom debate as a means of progress, while in the army, recruits will only be punished by the instructor and locked up for doing so.
Therefore, the strong sense of order displayed in Mannakorn always fascinated the naval officer.
Of course, as the sanctity of order, Coopster, said, "Reward and punishment are the foundation of all order", and Mannerhen was never stingy in sharing his wealth, and naturally someone had to be punished.
For the people of the underground areas of the Anaheim Manor, they had to learn to treat screams, cries for help, and screams as "white noise" during this time, because traitors did not deserve sympathy, and Erich Dönitz saw many of his former colleagues being tortured in iron bars, and the admiral had no intention of stopping along the way.
Only once, the only time, from his good friend, Dreyer, a retired naval officer, his siblings, good buddies who had a drink together once a week, begged Dönitz to save him, and Dönitz gave him a look.
Dreyer is arrested on suspicion of revealing the dock gang's plans by Mannacone.
Dönitz turned to leave, knowing that Dreyer deserved it, because if Dreyer hadn't been inside, he might have been the one who was suspected.
Well, no matter how innocent Dreyer is, he deserves it.
Dönitz firmly believes that Mannakon is doing the right thing, that he is really trying to save the country, and that now, this country is full of traitors, inferior people, and pointy ears, and only Mannakon has the ability to lead them back to Cormier's fate, and he trusts Mannerkorn as much as Mannerone trusts him, and this trust is strong enough.
"Dongdong~"
"Please come in~"
Ben Miko was sitting behind his desk with his eyes squinted, a pamphlet in his hand, the spring breeze outside lapping against the blinds, the windows sliding through the thin strips of wood and making a kaka, Mannakorn naked, holding a proverb drawn with gold thread, his white fingers running over it, his eyes moist.
These are the words that his dark father left to Mannakorn.
"Everyone is guilty, and those who need to be convicted should be condemned first, and then condemned.
"The punishment is skilled, the punishment is still changing, everything is applied, and everyone is given the head."
"The way to govern people, people do not harm themselves but others, the way to control people, people do not forgive others but forgive themselves."
The more he read, the more he felt that his father's wisdom was truly inexhaustible, and he could not help but feel a deep admiration for his dark father.
Father's wisdom!
But it didn't last long, for the thought of his betrayal, his father's fall, and the massacre of Fort Santil fueled a fire of hatred in Manakorn's heart, and he reached out to grab the water of Amm on the table, and took a large sip of it, the smell of alcohol on his face could not extinguish the hatred, but reminded him of the high priest who had betrayed his father in Am.
The drink tasted vile, shameless, betrayal, and disgusting.
I'm the only one left.
With only a handful of priests, a few remnants of the Scattered Tallinn Order, a bunch of family privates, and a much larger rabble, Mannakhen was nothing compared to the glory of a few years ago.
But the orthodoxy of the father is here.
Outside this manor there are only traitors, lackeys and fools, none of whom understand what true order and power are, and the gods of hypocrisy and the believers who have so many dark days that have crossed the river are now stepping on the breasts of men.
As the son of Bane, he will fight back!
The door opened, and the screams from outside entered the room, much to Monkkorn's displeasure, and he could skillfully call out a few of them, Willett, Herbert, these men could no longer prove their loyalty, although some did dedicate their lives to him, but it was also something that could not be helped, could not have it?
But when he heard Dreyer's screams, Mannacone still sighed, the two sides have known each other for many years, and the other party has always been very loyal, and he spares no effort to spread his influence in the navy.
But it also makes sense, according to the Santarim report, Dreyer had told a joke about the kingdom of the three gods of death two years ago, so what if he was expressing his displeasure through this joke?
Loyalty is not absolute is absolute disloyalty.
These were necessary sacrifices, so Mannacohen convinced himself.
All for that greater goal, for returning to the Moon Sea, for ascending to the throne, for carrying on his father's mantle, for being Bane! For the lost Santil Fort and the three gods of death!
"Your Excellency." General Dönitz, the favored lieutenant of the Son of Bane, said to him, "Duke Caspar has agreed to your request to meet. ”
"Good." Baan nodded deeply.
The beginning of all plans begins with the brother-in-law of the Prince Regent.
After changing his clothes and coming out of the basement, a burst of dog barking attracted the attention of Ban N Miko, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "What's going on, what's going on?" ”
"It's Moody, a beautiful golden retriever, who got lost on the edge of the manor yesterday, and guess what happened, Your Excellency? Today it actually came back on its own! The man in charge of raising the dog laughed and said that the Son of Bane had always been kind to these servants.
"It's a good dog." Mannacone touched the big golden retriever's head and saw that the other party was watching him, "Don't get lost, Moody." ”
The big dog licked his palm, his wet, soft tongue relaxing Ben Miko's tense nerves.
When it comes to loyalty alone, humans really lose too much to dogs.
You think so, father, too?
The Son of Bane soon found the Duke of Caspar, the brother-in-law of the Regent's daughter, and the first in line to the throne under normal circumstances.
The Duke of Caspar looks about 40 years old, with a black back, thinning hair, a V-shaped hairline, a simple face with slightly loose cheeks, a black half-rimmed glasses and a pair of small black eyes, and his figure has also been overgrown to that of a middle-aged man.
The Duke has a strong bookish aura, and in fact he is favored by Yasan IV because of his excellent ability to work with books.
"Oh? My friend, is there anything wrong? Caspar was a little surprised by Mannerkorn's arrival: "I forgot, I haven't congratulated you on this military exploit in Arabel!" ”
"However, Ms. Raul also won too much luck, I kept telling her not to fight, don't fight, she just didn't listen, with so much financial resources, isn't it good to improve people's livelihood? Isn't it good to build a new home for refugees? Duke Caspar sighed: "War, after all, is not good. ”
"Your Highness, I have come this time because I feel the need to make a big deal for this victory." The Son of Bane proposed, "What do you think?" ”
"Is it a big deal?" Duke Caspar's eyes lit up when he heard the banquet: "Okay, just right. ”
"When the time comes, I will invite the Duke of Marelli to accompany me, and also invite Her Royal Highness the Regent."
"The time is set, Sunday in three weeks' time?"
"Yes."
…………
A day later, in the afternoon, the Salian House in the Triple Crown neighborhood of Susal was bathed in a gloomy rain, the chandeliers under the eaves swayed gently with the wind and rain, muffling the sounds, the rain in the courtyard pool hit the surface of the pool, splashing ripples, the swing chairs made by simple spells covered the rain screen, the surrounding green grass and trees exuded vitality, and the faint light could not hide the light in the garden.
The rain hits the windows, flows down the glass like a meandering stream, and drips on the windowsill, bringing spring to the old mansion again.
Real spring.
After a long time, Miss Pastor tidied up her scattered blonde hair, rested her head on Aaron's shoulders, and strands of gold fell from her ears along her movements, covering her white and tender eggs-white cheeks, and her hair was slightly stained with sweat, and her bright and charming face was as ruddy as blood, like a fiery cloud in the sky, brilliant and dazzling.
The sea-blue eyes exuded a rich brilliance, and the voice of the priest trembled slightly: "Aaron, when are we going to the fiefdom?" ”
Aaron caressed Miss Priest's slender slender silk wrapped in pearlescent white silk, he hugged Eleanor in his arms, and laughed in a low voice, "Can't wait? ”
"Nasty!" Eleanor naturally knew that Aaron was doing evil, and Miss Pastor's voice was crisp, shy, and coquettish: "The main thing is that it is inconvenient here, there are always others at home." ”
"Someone else? You mean that guy out there? Aaron smiled as he pointed out the window to the dozing elf dragon Pani.
The fairy dragon really followed Eleanor to Sallian's house, where he made a nest for himself in the garden of Salian's house, played pranks everywhere when he had nothing to do, and liked to have meetings with the nearby cats and dogs.
It's a real cat and a dog, and many of the domestic pets in the Triple Crown neighborhood now meet once a week at the call of Pani, and a group of cats, dogs, and birds stay together for a meeting, and Pani will share a little of their delicious food.
"That's not what I'm talking about." Eleanor thought to herself that Aaron was really bad, she knew that he knew that she wanted a world of two, but Aaron just didn't say it, Miss Pastor was very thin-skinned, she knew that if she reluctantly spoke, Aaron would definitely have countless routines.
Sometimes this is the case between lovers, the comparison is who is more passive, who has the initiative.
Aaron didn't say anything, Eleanor didn't say either, and the two of them got up after lying for a while.
After a while, the orc sword saint Doherty and Maximian, and cousin Anna will come to Salian's house for dinner, and the aunt's family is already preparing the ingredients, and cousin Robert is helping by the side.
Aaron helped Eleanor, took the slippers and put them on Miss Pastor, tied her neckline, and kissed her on the cheek, "Let's go, let's see what that guy left for us." ”
"Hmm." Eleanor knew that Aaron was talking about the legendary Assassin.
In the Battle of Arabell, the legendary assassin dropped one of his spatial rings, which should contain the wealth he had hidden for many years, but because Aaron was not the owner of the spatial ring, he spent a lot of means and could not open the spatial ring.
There was no way, Aaron had to turn to Tzeentch's good brother for help.
Tzeentch's good brother helped Aaron brute-force crack the soul mark on the spatial ring, and now, everything inside belongs to Aaron and Eleanor.
In the study, Aaron nodded slightly, and then his mouth opened wide.
A legendary powerhouse, is he so rich?
The contents of the Space Ring include:
More than 5,000 gold coins issued in the kingdom and 900 platinum coins (a total of more than 14,000 gold coins).
A handful of gems.
An ability statue in the shape of a raven.
A pair of elven boots with a slight smell (no sound when walking).
A charm lens (can be used once a day to charm humans).
An ornately decorated enchanted longbow.
A magic quiver.
A heart goggle.
A magic ring.
More than a dozen bottles of various potions.
Three vials of Wyvern's venom.
Celestial Creature Protection Scroll, Demon Protection Scroll, Plant Protection Scroll, Monster Protection Scroll, Beast Protection Scroll and more than a dozen magic scrolls of various colors.
A trumpet.
An endless water bottle and some high-end elf dry food, ate the kind that can last for two or three days.
The legendary powerhouse is really rich!
Aaron and Eleanor glanced at each other, many things they didn't even recognize, but just what they could recognize was worth tens of thousands of gold lion coins!
It's a pity that most of the valuable equipment should be carried by legendary assassins, and there are only some ordinary equipment in the space ring.
In addition, there are some sundries in the space ring, such as some letters and personal belongings,
Among them, there is a roll of parchment that catches Aaron's attention.
This is a map showing the terrain and settlements of the western frontier of the Enoch Desert, which, unlike a normal map, has hand-drawn markings.
The marker was located next to a settlement called "Everisca", on which the legendary Assassin had a large "X" and wrote: "Ancient Golden Dragon." ”
"The stuff is there, and the most troublesome thing is that whenever I get close to the Lock, those elves always want to treat me to a meteor burst."
"I need to find the right opportunity to get things out."
Aaron and Eleanor glanced at each other, and both saw the certainty in each other's eyes.
This could be a treasure map.
Whether the legendary assassin hid it himself, or someone hid there, there must be something very valuable hidden in this elven settlement called Ephrisca!
It seems that if there is a chance in the future, I should look there.
Aaron stared at Efraska on the map, muttering to himself what kept the legendary assassin on his mind and couldn't get it out?
Meteor Burst is a nine-ring spell, and the Lost Lock is a legendary spell!
The elves here don't seem to be very friendly.
