Chapter 336: An Unexpected Acquisition I

White and green lettuce, golden slices of bread, and two-finger-wide bacon rolls, with some slightly sour cheese sauce.

When this salad-like main course is served, the dinner is coming to an end.

And when another soup was served and everyone tasted it, the young king signaled that the banquet was over.

It is not as grand as it was at the beginning, and you have to wait, walk through long slopes, and the corridors of the old castle, but some respectful speeches to the king are still needed.

But this time, it was still the Minister of Finance who spoke.

After that, the emerald nobles left one after another.

However, Dean and the Chancellor of the Exchequer were left behind.

"Lord Kuster, Lord Zelgon, this way please!"

The royal advisor who conveyed the young king's invitation acted as a guide.

After passing through layers of courtyards and several corridors, the royal advisor stopped in his tracks—it was still a small courtyard, but unlike the previous courtyard, there were significantly more guards here.

Especially the two strong men exuding silver breath made Dean look sideways.

One is short and thin, with a goatee and gray hair, and a long sword slightly larger than the standard, which can only be carried on the back so that it doesn't look cumbersome.

The other one was tall, fat, with a bald head and a beard. Two warhammers were hung on his waist like this. The hammer head was the size of a watermelon, which made people secretly speechless.

"Your Excellency Elanke, Your Excellency Eli, good evening!"

The royal adviser and the treasurer greeted the two.

Dean took a step back.

After all, it was the first time Dean had seen the silver of the two royal families.

In the past history. Silvers of the Emerald Royal Family. With the fall of the emerald capital. And all of them died in battle, and Dean, who had been with the Grand Duke Emerald, had never seen these two.

"Lord Zelgon!"

"Hey, good job!"

The two royal family silvers were quite friendly towards Dean,

It was just a nod to the royal adviser and the finance minister, but it was a gesture of a smile to Dean-obviously, this was not because of his identity, but because of his own strength.

Likewise, Dean smiled back again.

Then. Continue to be led by the royal advisor, and walk towards the room in the courtyard - the young king, who has changed into casual clothes, is sitting in a chair in the room, looking at something.

And that gloomy face showed that the young king was in a bad mood.

However, when he saw Dean walking in again, his gloomy expression eased slightly.

"Mr. Zelgang, come, sit here!"

The young king pointed to the chair beside him.

Dean sat in that chair unceremoniously, while the Minister of Finance naturally walked to the side of the young king. Like the royal advisor, he stood with his hands down.

"The Custer family. On the king's side?"

Dean glanced at the Minister of Finance in a little surprise.

Obviously, it was beyond his expectation that the Custer family stood with the young king.

However, when he thought of how the Custer family and some other big families were basically slaughtered after the fall of the Emerald Capital, Dean felt a little relieved——

"The big families and top families in the Emerald City were slaughtered by Xiti, partly because of their own wealth, and partly because of their unclear relationship with the royal family—whether it is the king, or a distant relative in the royal family, etc. In order to cut off the royal family of Emerald, Xiti will naturally not let one go!"

Thinking from the bottom of his heart, Dean remained silent, waiting for the young king.

After all, it was the other party who took the initiative to invite him to come, so naturally there are some things.

Even though Dean already has guesses about these things, it is better to wait for the other party to take the initiative to say it.

Another ten minutes or so passed.

The young king put down the parchment full of handwriting in his hand, his brows were tightly frowned, and the anger in his eyes was obvious.

"Wood, go and catch all the relevant people above! I'm going to hang them!"

The young king drank lowly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As soon as the royal adviser bowed, he took two pieces of parchment and walked out of the room.

"Mr. Kuster, you did a good job!"

After the royal advisor left, the young king turned his head to look beside him and gave a slight appreciation.

"This is what a minister should do!"

The Minister of Finance bent down and saluted with a look of sincerity and fear.

Such a scene made Dean narrow his eyes slightly - he clearly remembered the previous transaction between the two.

Bullying?

Dean evaluated secretly in his heart.

However, seeing the young king nodding in satisfaction, Dean wisely said nothing.

The Emerald King at this time is absolutely impossible to be the Emerald King who has experienced the ruin of the country, and the other party is young and eager to prove something.

It also made Dean understand how to get along with each other.

So, Dean sat there without saying a word.

After the young king gave Kuster a series of rewards, he looked at Dean and said with a smile: "Mr. Zelgon, you did a good job with Lid Nick - the one found from that guy's house I will give you half of the property!"

"As for property, I don't need it. If possible... Please give me one or two secret arts that suit me, preferably the original or only one!"

"Miss Zelgang, maybe you don't know the amount, even half of it is more than a hundred thousand Kimptons, which is far higher than half of the secret art value!"

"The amount of Kimpton is not the reason for me to change my original intention. Compared with Kimpton, I prefer the secret art, the original or the only copy of the secret!"

Dean didn't show the sincerity and fear like the Minister of Finance, but just spoke in a neutral manner.

For the young king in front of him, Dean knew what he wanted.

However, this does not mean that he needs no dignity.

For this, Dean once again thanked the relationship between the lord and the king-such a tradition. Dean complimented it almost for the first time.

"Original and isolated secret techniques? The Emerald Royal Family's 'Speed ​​of the Wind' and 'Power of the Hurricane' and the corresponding 'Storm of the Wind' and 'Sword of the Hurricane' are in the royal family's collection. There are original and isolated copies. But... Sir Zelgang, you do not have the status of the royal family, this is not easy to handle! Otherwise..."

The young king obviously misunderstood Dean's meaning, and there was a slight groan in his words.

The royal family's secret arts and secrets must have the identity of the royal family.

This is a foundation in the royal families of all countries.

Even Deron Wolfe was allowed to learn the secrets of the Emerald Royal Family after marrying the daughter of a distant relative of the royal family. Of course, the identity of the distant relative of the royal family is another matter. .

but. The superficial article is good enough, but it is necessary.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood! I don't need the royal family's secret arts and secrets, I only need the secret arts and secrets that suit me—the ones that focus on strength and physique!"

Dean saw what the young king in front of him wanted to say, and immediately spoke first.

He would not be willing to marry the daughter of a distant royal relative.

"That's right!"

The young king looked at Dean with some regret.

As the King of Emerald, he naturally hoped that Dean would be his own. Blood relations and other relations have been criticized for countless years among the royal families and big families of various countries, but at critical moments, people are still willing to believe in people close to their blood. A kind of nature, not to say that ignoring it can be ignored.

"Your Majesty. I remember that in the royal library, there seems to be a secret technique that meets the requirements of Your Excellency Zelgang?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer standing by. After Dean rejected the financial rewards, he immediately began to think about it—although the Minister of Finance was a little surprised by Dean's rejection of these financial rewards, he was more pleased; because he knew very well that facing If Dean can refuse such a huge reward of property, then there will be no conflict with him at all.

And a trader without conflict obviously has the potential of an ally.

And having an ally like Dean is obviously a good thing for him.

Therefore, after the Minister of Finance thought of something, he immediately said with a smile.

"Have it?"

The young king was a little puzzled. After thinking for a while, but still had no answer, he couldn't help asking the Minister of Finance.

"These are things that old people remember--'Troll Power' was famous for Lord John Marquess, but 'Troll Power' came from the Emerald King's library, when it was your Majesty's father, who wrote it Awarded to the venerable Marquess; however, the Marquess of York did not take the original, but only copied a copy!"

The Minister of Finance said with a smile.

"There is such a thing? Then Sir Zelgang..."

The young king murmured to himself, then turned his head to look at Dean, and almost before the young king finished speaking, Dean got up and saluted: "Thank you for your majesty's gift! "

"Miss Zelgang, you really like secret arts and secrets!"

Seeing Dean's eager look, the young king couldn't help laughing.

"Only someone who likes secret arts and secrets like His Excellency Zelgang can reach his current strength at this age!"

The Minister of Finance on the side echoed again and again.

"Well, that's right! By the way, Sir Zelgang, can you tell me about the 'pseudo-contract' in detail?"

The young king nodded, and then asked, seemingly casually.

Such a seemingly random question, although not a hidden murderous intention, is also a hidden intention - the young king needs Dean to prove that he has absolutely nothing to do with the Mobius ring.

As for this, it is naturally difficult for Dean.

"Before I took over the current Zelgaon, that territory was the territory of a Baron Defendi...and in the collapsed ruins, I found a lot of things, although most of them were worthless, but not all of them were Trash—it's like that 'pseudo-contract'!"

Dean, who had been prepared for a long time, talked slowly without the slightest hesitation.

Of course, half true and half false.

However, it can definitely stand verification—after all, it is a fact that Defendi came from the Mobius ring, and it is also a fact that this kind of "pseudo-contract" technology came from the Mobius ring.

The only false thing is that Dean didn't get a 'pseudo-contract' in Zelgon Territory.

However, who can prove it?
