37 CHAPTER XXXVII

As soon as Chris woke up, he immediately went to find the traces of the thief in his dream, and when he saw Mephistopheles hanging in the air, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and took the initiative to untie the nebula chain wrapped around the little gold-devouring beast without being reminded by Moeller, and used it on Mephistopheles, wrapping one end around his neck and the other three times around his waist. After the Nebula Chain was added, Mephistopheles's expression suddenly withered, and he couldn't slow down for a long time, but the little gold-devouring beast regained its vitality, squeaked and ran to Mephistopheles, looking up at its master.

"Please prepare some nuts for Al. Mephistopheles said weakly to Moller.

Moeller was a little surprised: "Doesn't it eat gold coins?"

"It's not a one-off meal. Mephistopheles couldn't help but roll her eyes: "I just eat every once in a while, and I usually eat mainly nuts." ”

Moller fed the nut to the little gold-eater Al the little beast, but the little thing did not resist, looked at him timidly, and saw that he did not mean to hurt it, so he carefully picked up the nut with his two small front paws, and gnawed it neatly.

That's when Chris began to ask where Mephistopheles had hidden the Dawn Light that had been stolen from their kingdom of Prolo.

"I'm beginning to regret entering the treasury of your Prolo Kingdom. Although the benefits were huge, I was seriously injured, and then I hid in this place to recuperate, but you caught me. Mephistopheles was exhausted from the Nebula Chains, and he smiled wryly at Chris, "As for the Dawn Light you are talking about, I don't know what it is. ”

Chris was furious, accusing Mephistopheles of lying, stealing the Dawn Light and not wanting to admit it, but he ignored the other treasures in the treasury, and was only worried about the Dawn Light, seeing that the bear child was arguing, Moller couldn't look at it and stopped him and asked, "What do you mean by Dawn Light?"

Chris was stunned for a moment, and replied: "The light of the morning light is a white liquid of light, which is only produced in small quantities on the moon tree of the elven race. ”

This time, without Chris asking again, Mephistopheles took the initiative to say: "I saw a white gem, the surface has been cut out of more than 300 planes, very beautiful and exquisite, I thought it was something valuable......

As soon as Mephistopheles admitted it, Chris immediately became excited: "Yes, yes, that's it, where did you hide it?"

Speaking of the treasure, Mephistopheles glanced at Moller, as if thinking of her own magic bag.

Moller said vigilantly, "Don't play tricks, I've checked all your magic bags, and there is no such thing." ”

Mephistopheles said with a slight hook on the corner of his mouth: "It's unfortunate that the finances obtained from the Kingdom of Prolo have been transferred to Medici, a few hundred miles away, and they are not in my hands. ”

Chris was in a hurry, and said angrily, "Have you been transferred by your men, let them bring you over to ransom you, or we will cut off your head!"

Mephistopheles didn't answer, instead saying, "Now there's a more urgent question to be solved—how long has it been since the pendant around my neck has been removed?"

Seeing that he had asked a strange question, Moeller thought for a moment and replied, "Two days and two nights." ”

"Huh. Mephistopheles suddenly laughed when she heard this: "That's soon." ”

"What's coming?" Moeller asked suspiciously, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

"The killers sent by the king are coming. Mephistopheles even told Moeller and Chris a story with a bit of a show.

"My full name is Orlando Mephistopheles, and I was originally a second-class general in the kingdom of Ristan. This is evidenced by the corrod on my chest. His Majesty, the king of Prolo, should have known this. ”

Moller looked at Chris, who wrapped a finger around Mephistopheles' nebula chain with a finger, and the chain immediately tightened, Mephistopheles groaned in pain, and then centered on the nipple nail on his chest, a layer of red light rose to resist the tightening momentum of the chain.

Seeing this layer of red light, Chris stopped his movements, nodded at Moeller, and agreed with Mephistopheles's words.

Mephistopheles gasped a few times, and said with a heartfelt smile: "The Starlight Wizard is really powerful, I thought that he would not be as terrible as those old guys when he became famous soon, but now it seems that he is really wrong!"

"Hmph, of course my father is amazing. He also said that the founding emperor of your kingdom of Ristan is an old pervert, and he loves to pierce holes in his generals!"

Both Moeller and Mephistopheles have black lines on their faces, Lord Proro, the former king, are you right to say this to a child!

Ignoring Chris's words, Mephistopheles continued: "Five years ago, the kingdom of Ristan was at war with the kingdom of Sherja, and I was ordered to lead 200,000 troops to garrison the western defense line, and that battle lasted for two whole years, although we won the war, but less than 100,000 of my 200,000 soldiers returned alive!

The king ordered that the family of each fallen soldier be given ten gold coins as a pension, and that the disabled soldier also receive eight pieces. However, what I have ended up with the soldiers and their families is at most a few pieces of silver, and the rest of the vast wealth has been appropriated by the Queen's brother, the Duke of Tyrans.

I reported the crimes of the Duke of Tyrants to the king, but instead of attracting the king's attention, I was framed by the queen and the Duke of Tyrans, and in disappointment, I gave up my status as a nobleman and became what you call the thief of your dreams, and all the stolen wealth was used by me to compensate the dead and disabled soldiers.

But for the king, my departure would be tantamount to betrayal, so he has been hunting me down all these years. ”

Mephistopheles finished speaking in a faint sad tone, Chris's attitude suddenly changed, and he looked at Mephistopheles and said, "So that's the case, you are so unfortunate and too brave, the king of Ristan is so stupid!"

Moeller wasn't just a stupid bear kid, he looked at Mephistopheles coldly and said, "Did you turn twenty five years ago?"

Huh, huh! Not to mention that he is not yet twenty years old, even if he is in his twenties, it is impossible to lead an army of 200,000 people!

Knowing that he can't hide it from you, Mephistopheles glanced at Moeller like this and said, "Five years ago, I was twenty-two years old, and it is true that I can't lead 200,000 troops for ordinary people, but if it is from the Duke of Rose's family, there is no problem." ”

Moller looked at Chris again, who already knew that Moller was not familiar with these things, so he explained, "The Godfather said that the family of Duke Rose in the kingdom of Ristan is rich in military geniuses. ”

"I've been in the army since I was twelve. Mephistopheles said: "After ten years in the army, leading 200,000 soldiers is expected by everyone, not relying on family power!" Speaking of this, Mephistopheles, who can be said to be very wolf at this time, exudes strong self-confidence, and an unyielding will unique to a soldier bursts out in his eyes.

Moller was also touched, but he did not rush to speak, but went through what he had just heard in his heart, and then spoke: "The queen is in power, the Duke of Tyrans is in power, and the king is mediocre, don't you Duke Rose family have any ideas?"

Mephistopheles was surprised by the sharpness with which the boy was thinking, but said, "It doesn't seem to be relevant to what we're talking about now." ”

"I'm just reminding you. Moeller looked straight at the heart and said, "You are not as noble as you say." You're patronizing petty nobles, petty lords, wealthy merchants with no power, and remote little kingdoms like Chris, and behind the dream thieves is the powerful Duke of Rose family, so it's no wonder that you've been able to get away with all the crimes. After the theft of the city lord of Euceth, there was still a casual design to kill his wife, and the Earl of Welan in McCann City only sent a few magicians with low strength to support, presumably for the big lords, a few small nobles in the territory were bankrupt and nothing, and it was the most valuable to be able to make friends with the Duke of Rose's family in a covert way. You're not so much a thief as a collector of protection money!"
