Chapter 238: Private Entrustment

The meeting with Krent took place in the company of Boken and Arashi Sihai.

Although he knew that Lan Sihai, who was sitting on the side with his eyes closed, must be a strong man sent by the empire to protect, Boken was still a little nervous. Although the fallen spirit race also talks about trust, it can't be compared with the decent spirit race after all. If this guy named Krent is lying, and his real intention is to assassinate the princess, completely provoke a war, and get away with it, then he will die a dead end.

For this reason, since the Seventh Princess came in, Boken's hand has never left the hilt.

But it is clear that Krent has no dissenting intentions at all. Probably seeing Boken's nervousness, this personable middle-aged spirit clansman was even very careful in his movements, unwilling to let Boken have any misunderstanding.

"Hello, Your Royal Highness the Princess. ”

As the queen's envoy, Krent was the first to pay tribute to the Seventh Princess, and then went straight to the point: "This time, I have the queen's carte blanche to come. I don't know if the Seventh Princess was instructed by the Emperor? Before I came, I got the information that the three princes of the Empire were in charge of the negotiations between the two sides. ”

Apparently, he was a little skeptical about the appearance of the Seven Princesses. If the other party can't call the shots, then his next words will be useless, and if he doesn't do it, he will make himself more passive.

"Don't worry. ”

The Seventh Princess's expression became serious, and she promised in a powerful tone: "Father did send my brother to deal with this matter, but he is not in the camp now, and he has already gone to the Shallow Analysis Land to investigate in person. So, now it's up to me to take care of it. Don't worry, Mr. Special Envoy, I have also received authorization from His Majesty the Emperor before I come. My brother has the rights, and I have them, and I can make decisions on his behalf. ”

"That's for the best. ”

Krent nodded, he believed that the other party should not dare to lie in this kind of matter, so he said his intention: "Several elders in the Spirit Race have always had a bad relationship with humans. After the land was polluted by plague and poison, they decided that humans were murderers and planned to go to war with you. However, Her Majesty felt that there was still something strange about this matter and hoped that it would be resolved peacefully. However, the Council of Elders interfered and resolutely refused to budge, and the queen was also very embarrassed in this matter. ”

The Seventh Princess nodded and asked, "So, what is Mr. Special Envoy's trip?"

Krent was silent for a moment, and suddenly stared at the Seventh Princess, with a terrifying glint in his eyes: "I'm here to ask you on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, did you put this plague on it?"

The Seventh Princess did not hesitate and said categorically: "Absolutely not!"

Probably afraid that Krent would not believe it, the Seventh Princess then added: "There are no problems with the Empire, the Imperial Family, the Military Department, the Lunyu Pass, and the Elwin Line. We never planned this. Moreover, in the past few decades, although there has been friction between the empire and the spirit race, there has been no large-scale firefight. In this case, there is absolutely no reason for the Empire to risk provoking you by poisoning the Land of Analysis. What do you think, Mr. Envoy?"

Her words are undoubtedly very convincing.

Krent and the queen thought there was a misunderstanding, but they thought the same thing. Hearing this, his face paled slightly, and he nodded: "In that case, we are willing to believe your words." However, the House of Elders didn't think so, and the results of the spiritual master's divination also proved that the source of the plague was related to the humans of the Lanwu Empire. Maybe there is a misunderstanding in it, but the people in the House of Elders won't believe it! We need evidence, evidence!"

The Seventh Princess glanced at Krent, with a little disdain, and asked, "Is the result of the divination really so credible?"

"Credible!"

Unexpectedly, Krent gave an affirmative answer, he said: "From the appearance of that spirit master, there is no prediction of any size that is inaccurate. The elders of the House of Elders had great trust in the spiritual master. In addition, they are already hostile to you, so they would rather believe the prophecy than believe you without sufficient evidence. ”

"The spirit master?"

Whether it was the Seventh Princess or Lu Chengfeng, they all keenly noticed this person who was originally ignored.

From Krent's words, it can be inferred that the man who made the prophecy had an unimaginable influence on the upper echelons of the Fallen Spirit Race. Maybe this war is really related to the House of Elders' hatred of humans, but it is no surprise that this mysterious spirit master must have played an extremely important role in it!

If you can meet that mysterious guy in person, you may be able to know who is really behind it.

At that moment, Lu Chengfeng had such a thought in his heart.

But obviously, ideas are ideas, but the reality is cruel. If that spirit master really had a ghost, he wouldn't let humans see him easily. An unknown enemy is the most terrifying, isn't it?

The Seventh Princess also thought of this, but she was more concerned about how to solve the problem as soon as possible than the person who put the plague and poison. Although the empire is not afraid of war, there is no need to be pitted for nothing. What's more, the Fallen Spirit Race is not so easy to mess with.

So, after a moment of silence, she asked, "As the envoy said, if you want to stop this war, you must come up with evidence to prove the innocence of mankind. Is that so?"

Krent nodded and said in a deep voice, "With the power of the Queen, it is already very difficult to be able to temporarily suppress the House of Elders. You're short on time and you have to find enough evidence. In this way, the queen would have reasonable grounds for rejecting the Presbytery's application for war. ”

"Understood. The Seventh Princess was thoughtful, and after a pause of two seconds, she asked again, "So, what kind of evidence is ironclad?"

This question, Krent, apparently had already discussed with the queen, and he said word by word: "Find out the source of the plague and poison, catch the real poisoner, and prepare the corresponding antidote!"

These three conditions do not need to be met, any two of them may be enough to prove the innocence of human beings.

But how easy is it to say?

It has been at least four or five days since the first plague and poison appeared. If the information can be transmitted back to the empire as soon as possible, it may be possible to find clues. But after such a long time, it is enough for the mastermind behind the scenes to calmly erase all traces. What's more, the land of shallow analysis is a swamp with a water network extending in all directions. Although the Fallen Spirit Clan immediately blocked it, the plague and poison continued to spread. This means that it is already difficult for them to determine where the original source is.

The task was tougher than expected.

But the seventh princess didn't bargain, but agreed: "Okay, we will do our best to investigate." I also hope that the spirit race can be restrained as much as possible, and the war together will be a disaster for both sides, and no one wants to see that. I also repeat here, no matter what the result of the divination is, whether it is accurate or not, I can assert that the tragedy in the land of shallow analysis has nothing to do with the Lanwu Empire!"

Krent didn't expect the Seventh Princess to be so decisive, and couldn't help but glance at her. After thinking for a while, he also promised: "Please rest assured, the queen does not want to see the war either, and will do her best to prevent it." It's just that I hope to hear the good news from you soon. ”

With Clend's attitude, the seventh princess knew that her trip was not in vain.

Next, it will be up to the three princes who set out to investigate in person whether they can get any useful information.

However, at this moment, Krent spoke again. This time, his eyes looked at Yue Mingxi, who was also participating in the meeting: "If I'm not mistaken, this young lady should be the exorcist of the Apocalypse Sect?"

"May the breath of God be with you. ”

Yue Mingxi didn't answer directly, but this blessed sentence was enough to prove everything.

The Seventh Princess made an introduction at the right time: "This is Miss Yuemingxi, who came to investigate the plague here on the order of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect. ”

Krent obviously has a deep understanding of human beings, and when he heard this, he was stunned and asked tentatively, "Could it be that he is a famous and wealthy family in the Apocalypse Sect, the Yue family?"

"Exactly. Although she was a little surprised, Yue Mingxi generously admitted her identity: "The second daughter of the Jingmen Yue family." ”

"The Apocalypse Order?"

Hearing Yue Mingxi admit his identity, Crent's expression was a little complicated. For this behemoth, the Fallen Spirit Clan is obviously also very jealous, which has nothing to do with whether he is an elder or a queen, but a simple kind of jealousy. After all, the power of the Apocalypse Order is too huge!

Yue Mingxi was a very smart girl, and she could see Krent's complicated feelings at a glance, and explained: "Please rest assured, the position of our Heavenly Apocalypse Sect is accustomed to neutrality. It was only because there were rumors that the plague and poison were related to the Blood Moon Catastrophe that the Order sent me. Of course, after the situation of the plague is ascertained, the Apocalypse Order will remain neutral and will not interfere in any way. ”

Her words seemed to be impartial, but they made the Seventh Princess and Krent look relieved.

Once the plague is identified, the Apocalypse Order will not interfere. But in that case, the empire will be able to prove that this has nothing to do with humanity, and the war will naturally not be fought. If it is not clarified, the Heavenly Apocalypse Order will automatically have a reason to intervene. Do the people of the Fallen Spirit Race dare to face the pressure of the Apocalypse Order?

Krent also heard the hidden meaning of Yuemingxi, and was as relieved as the seventh princess.

The prestige of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect was heard of even by the stubborn elders of the Fallen Spirit Clan. Perhaps, in their name, they can suppress the ambitions of the House of Elders a little, right? Even if they are bent on starting a war with humans, they must always weigh their own strength. If they rashly attract the Apocalypse Order, and they suffer a crushing defeat, the status and power of the elders will also be shaken.

I have to say, this is really good news, for both sides. "By the way, I also have a personal commission. As the atmosphere warmed, Krent seemed to remember something, and made a request at the end of the meeting.
