Volume 4 The Hidden Dragon Chapter 6 Temptation
With a squeak, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the owner of the deep voice also revealed his true face of Lushan.
The person who came was Rupert, and Motojuku was too familiar with Rupert's voice, so only Rupert would often appear unexpectedly beside him.
Rupert has not been idle in the past few months, although he is not as hard as Yuansu in cultivating magic, but his talent is there, and the magic realm is also rising, and he entered the official ranks of fourth-order magicians a month ago.
Compared to Lin Lang, who caused a huge sensation in the Holy Light Magic Academy, the speed of realm ascension was a little faster.
His life was still the same, often harassing Stephanie and Motojuku, but it was the first time that he had been haunted around Motojuku's room at such a midnight hour.
"You dead fat pig, how can the third watch appear here in the middle of the night, is it a bad intention?" Hayden looked at Rupert vigilantly, he had always been uninterested in Rupert, and he couldn't help but scold him when they met.
Rupert turned his head, squinted at Hayden, and said, "You little rabbit cub, how can you talk? I will plot against Yuansu? If you want to plot against Yuansu, it is also Yuansu, and the object is also my goddess Stephanie, the little rabbit cub is so angry! I haven't seen you much lately, and I'm still so dishonest!"
"You've finally told the truth in your heart, and I'll tell Sister Stephanie that you've been ill-intentioned, human-faced and beast-hearted!"
Rupert's eyes widened, his eyebrows fluttered, "You little bastard, deliberately set me up, I'm sincere and upright to Stephanie, don't play tricks on me! Van Lunding's little old man is all acquiescing, don't mess with me!"
"You don't look like a good person, tell me, why the hell are you sneaking around eavesdropping on us?" Hayden continued to look at Rupert angrily.
"You bastard, I can tell you this? Uncle, I'm above board, don't you know that the wall has ears?"
"Hayden, alright, don't make a fuss!" Motosu stopped Hayden's desire to speak again, "Rupert really wants to eavesdrop, he won't let us know!"
Hayden puffed out and was silent.
Rupert gave Yuansu an approving look, "Study hard, your brother Yuansu is still smart!" turned around and walked towards Yuansu.
"It's so late, is there something you are doing here?" Motosu said calmly, he was also a little curious about Rupert's actions, and he wanted to test Rupert's thoughts.
"Van Lunding is a little old man, he is so unkind, he wants to do something with me, but I won't let me go, and it took me a lot of effort to barely settle him! Won't I just stop by and ask you to help me come up with ideas? Who knows that you are talking to Hayden about these private matters!" Rupert looked a little aggrieved.
"What is Van Lunding looking for you to do?" Motosu frowned.
"It's his family's business, let me find something, it seems to be a statue, but the location is far away, in the Kama Alliance in the northwest, it is not a place for normal people at all, it is very cold! I don't want to take this kind of task, it is definitely a crime to go there!" Rupert complained.
"Why are you looking for other people's family affairs?"
"Haha! That's not because I have a relationship!" Rupert finally seized the opportunity to pretend to be thirteen, his whole body was swaying, and he said very proudly, "I'm not afraid to tell you a secret, in fact, I'm also a prince!"
Yuansu frowned, it was obvious that Rupert had heard the conversation between him and Yuansu the whole time, and Hayden had a disdainful expression on his face.
"Why don't you believe it? Let Brother Yuan tell you, which country I am from?" Rupert was even more arrogant at this time.
Motoju's face darkened suddenly, and he didn't answer Rupert's words at all.
Rupert didn't feel embarrassed at all, "Your brother and I are from Dunant, although it is a small country, but its position in the Barrow League is very important! The Holy Church originated there, and the only pope is there, the only country ruled by the pope, do you know what I have to do with the pope?"
"What's the matter? You're the Pope's illegitimate son?" Hayden was still disdainful, and Yuansu cast a puzzled look at Hayden.
"What's the matter? I know him!" Rupert was serious.
"Does he know you?" Hayden scoffed.
"Of course he knows me, and he must be very impressed!" Rupert smiled imperceptibly at the corner of his mouth.
Hayden was silent again, he didn't know how to refute Rupert anymore.
"Know how good I am!, show some respect to me in the future!" Rupert continued to laugh.
Yuanju's heart was also fluctuating, and it was the first time he had heard of this relationship behind Rupert.
In the Western world, the status of the Holy Church can be said to be the most exalted, and the pope of the Holy Church can be said to be the supreme of the supreme, much higher than the status of the monarchs and emperors of many countries.
If Rupert really has a relationship with the pope of the Holy Church, then he is really not as simple as the down-and-out aristocracy he once said.
"Didn't you say you were a down-and-out nobleman, Lord Baron?" Motosu said with a slight smile as he grabbed Rupert's handle.
With what he knew about Rupert, it was very likely that Rupert would run the train with his mouth full, especially in the current situation.
"Hey, hey, I'm really down, I'm the only one in our family now!" Rupert said with some smuggling.
"Your Excellency Baron, you haven't told you which country the prince is so far?" said Hayden, with some yin and yang in his heart.
Yuansu was also amused by Hayden's sudden question, Hayden held back for so long and still didn't forget to scold Rupert, and Rupert's face drooped suddenly.
"I am the prince of any country, and I am better than you, the prince of a dead country!" Rupert said angrily.
Yuansu immediately understood that Rupert's princely statement was pure nonsense.
I have to say that Rupert is also very smart, he also has his little abacus, after a gag, it is obvious that the atmosphere in the whole room has become much more harmonious, and the two are much less hostile and wary of Rupert.
"You dead pig, one day I'll take back what belongs to me!" Hayden looked at Rupert angrily.
"Let's wait until you get it back, little brat!" Rupert ignored Hayden and turned his gaze to Motojuku again.
Yuansu suddenly asked Rupert, "Did you hear what you said just now?"
"Haha!" Rupert replied with a grin.
"What do you think about the search for the ruins of the Gulalum Kingdom?" Motojuku continued to ask.
Rupert's expression was full of nonchalance, "Then how can you look at it? How can this kind of thing be without me! You won't suffer if you bring me! Have you forgotten my necromancy? I learned necromancy to find things from the dead, don't worry, I'm only for money and treasure, and I'm not interested in your secrets to becoming a god!"
"Are you trustworthy?" Motojuku stared into Rupert's eyes, and Hayden squinted at Rupert.
"Don't take me for a thief, all right! I, Rupert, love money, but I'm an upright man! My mouth is very strict!" Rupert pouted, looking angry.
"Okay, you can go back now!When we're ready, we'll take you with us!" Motojuku waved his hand, motioning for Motojuku to leave, and then sat down on the chair again.
Rupert was a little confused, "That's going to let me go?"
"Or else?" Motosu looked at Rupert with a smile.
"You're not sending me away, are you! I'll be angry if you leave me, and if I do, the consequences will be severe!" Rupert still had a skeptical expression.
"Just these two days, you just wait for the news, and you can prepare by the way!" said Motojuku calmly, signaling Rupert to leave again.
Rupert looked a little reluctant, opened the door, slowly moved out, turned around and walked into the door again, "We haven't discussed the matter of Van Lunding yet?"
"Then what do you need to discuss? You're planning to go with us to find the ruins, won't Van Lunding's matter be postponed? As for the reason, you can go yourself! I'm sure this won't bother you!"
Rupert looked at Yuansu's serious expression, and finally a little deflated at this time, and slowly left Yuansu's room with his fat body.
The footsteps farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the long silent night.
Hayden, who had been waiting for a long time, finally got up at this time, ran out of the door in small steps, and quickly circled around the room, his little eyes were spinning, he was searching for Rupert's figure, he was worried that Rupert had not really left.
However, Hayden did not find Rupert around, and he trotted back into the house again.
Looking at Yuansu, who was sitting still, motionless like a mountain, with a smile on his face, Hayden showed a hesitant expression and said hesitantly, "Are we really going to take Rupert with us?"
"He's got to hear what we're talking about!"
Hayden eagerly and nervously, "Rupert is not reliable at all, he is definitely not a good person, he has a lot of ideas in his head! I can't guarantee that he won't do anything wrong with us! He is not trustworthy at all!"
"I know what you say, but didn't you hear what he said? He has a lot to do with the Pope of the Holy Church!"
Hayden looked unwilling, "Then, then we will let him take care of it? If he takes that servant of his and forcibly robs us of the fruits of our victory, we have no way! I don't want to make a wedding dress for others and cheapen this big fat pig for nothing!"
"Haha! don't worry!" Motojuku said with a smile and a confident tone, "Do you believe Stephanie?"
