Vol 3 Chapter 37: Taking blood as evidence (Part 1)

"Nid ... Hogg."
Connold frowned, a faint expression on the sharp face of the sharp axe ... contempt:
"Sir Loren Turin, have you misunderstood? My tolerance and patience make you think you can use this absurd excuse to fool me?"
The pale-faced Lucien said unnaturally: "His Royal Highness Connold, I ..."
"When I need you to speak, I will let you speak naturally." Prince Sackland's eyes flicked over Lusien's cheeks, and the contempt and contempt reached the point of no concealment:
"Quiet me now, deserter!"
The humiliated boy instantly blushed, and the flame of anger rose in the silver-gray pupils, crunching his teeth.
Ignoring the anger of the teenager, Connor, who looks more and more ugly, refocused his eyes on the smiling black-haired wizard: "If you are also going to tell me that you have discovered the Dragon King City, please shut up Okay-now me, the current Boundary Mountain Fortress doesn't need this, what I really need ... "
"I know what you need, that's why I'm here, don't you?" Loren raised his lips slightly, his expression more playful:
"So I will say that Niederhogg is a perfect choice-it will save you from having to consider the transaction with your brother, His Highness Brandon de Salion, without even paying any price!"
"If the ultimate goal is to unite the power of the entire empire under the iron crown of DeSalem, or ... under your banner, it is not really the most important thing if there is an enemy invasion in the north. A reason that forces the Empire to unite is the most important thing! "
"Honorable, Prince Sacran, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Connold de Salion, from the beginning you need nothing" evidence "-but a perfect excuse, and no one can refute it , An irresistible excuse! "
Connold was silent, but even Lucien on the side could feel that His Highness had begun to shake.
Damn, what did the dark-haired wizard just say? !
No, that's not shaken ... The sneer in Loren's heart grows worse, and the calm smile becomes more playful-his first goal is to leave the Fortress of Forbidden Mountains, a territory that is completely shrouded in Connold's shadow;
The second goal was to go to Niederhogg, to find the remains of "The First Wizard" Logan, and to ensure that Brandon survived as far as possible throughout the trip to the north, in order to get the promised good from him. "remuneration".
In order to achieve this goal, he must continue to fooling the Crown Prince ... or let him really understand what he wants.
Hold on to what a person wants, and you can let him do whatever he wants—a cliché trick, but it will always work.
"To go to the legendary Niederhog, it is bound to be as difficult as the sky, and even encounter unimaginable obstacles, it is very likely to encounter a large number of enemies and sudden attacks; even with the protection of dragons and guards, Make sure that your Highness Brandon will be safe and sound. A little "negligence" may be miserable, falling to the cliff, crushing the bones ...
His Royal Highness Connor, do you really ... need me to continue? "
The dark-haired wizard gazed at the face that resembled Brandon's, and his voice was unusually slow.
Prince Sackland, the commander of the Boundary Mountain Fortress, looked pale, staring at Loren's expression as if he would rush at him with a sword at the next moment.
But like Ernst, he didn't do it.
The long, as if silence of time is still, feeling the tormented Lu Sien biting his teeth, watching the game in front of him that is better than the sword, the fight between words and hearts, I dare not relax.
A look is a sword and a sword; a silence is a fierce counterattack;
Life hanging a thread!
"... You are going to betray my brother, your loyal master Brandon?" Connold's eyes narrowed into a slit, lowering his voice and said:
"why?"
"If you guessed right, you should have learned from Rut Infinite that I am a wizard who is not worth mentioning, right?" Loren smiled very playfully: "Did he tell you What a loyal and honest person I will never betray my master? "
"IMHO, if he really said that, then you should doubt whether the leader of the night watchman is loyal enough to you."
The answer to Loren was Connold's dismissive sneer. Obviously, such a poor "provocation" didn't flow to him, but at least slightly dispelled his doubts.
"When I was in Ebden, due to the situation and choices at that time, I had to stand in the same camp as the Wizard's Tower and His Royal Highness Brandon, and protect and a fairly good prospect by changing his allegiance to him."
The restrained dark-haired wizard smiled: "But when things calmed down, I found that many things were different from what the Highness said. He also lied to me and forced me to become his wizard advisor. To exchange the so-called 'protection'! "
Connor bowed his head slightly and lowered his gaze: "That is to say ... you are not willing to come to the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain?"
"Of course, I would n’t even be in Ebden if it was n’t for Rut Infinite-but now it ’s too late to say that, after all, I ’ve been here and His Highness Brandon ca n’t provide me Any asylum, even his own, is at stake! "
"So you are planning to take the opportunity to change the court and betray your original master?" Connor snorted coldly, and the sharp and cold red pupil stared at Loren's face, monitoring his every move:
"Then I also ask-why should I believe that you are half-hearted and always betray your owner?"
"It's very simple, you don't need to believe me." Loren deliberately slowed down and said word by word:
"You just need to treat this as a transaction, just like you and your brother Brandon; and my offer is definitely more reasonable than him, and it will allow you to reduce a lot of worries."
"At the very least, a wise man like His Highness Brandon de Salion will never be in danger personally; at least he will not take the initiative to do this kind of thing, even if he encounters an enemy, he should be life-saving Escape is not as valuable to you as it seems. "
"But ... if it was the unfortunate 13th prince, the body of His Royal Highness Brandon de Salion, wouldn't it be more useful to you?"
The smile gradually lost from Loren's face, and saying this sentence was also a gamble for him, and he could even hear the more rapid heartbeat of Lucien ... and Loren's own heartbeat.
This is the last fight!
Connold frowned, his eyes never leaving Loren's face.
"... very good acting, Your Excellency Loren Turin, I'm almost going to be fooled." Connor's voice was not only heavy, but also a bit cold:
"If it wasn't for Rut Infinite to remind me ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Absolutely ... absolutely can't believe you-by the way, his evaluation of you is quite high."
"What about you? The illegitimate son of the Würz family; Lord Loren Turin, to save you this life, but even his own life, did not plan to say something?"
"I ..." Lucien just started and was interrupted again.
"Forget it, I think you still keep silent, deserter-for Loren Turin, you are just the 'tool' he happened to find!"
Prince Sackland's expression was like grabbing the mouse's tail, with a hint of contempt in his sneer: "Nid Hog ... Your Excellency Loren Turin, you will definitely not be meaningless to mention this name I guess ... there must be something you want there, right? "
"While accomplishing the set goal, while hiding your purpose perfectly, Rout Infinite and I emphasized it, and let me focus on you-you join the wizard tower and become a wizard consultant for Brandon, Rescue Lucien at all costs, with only one purpose ...
Go to Niederhogg, I ’m right, right? ! "
