[Count of Monte Cristo] Archon

Muhammad was riding on the horse, and impatiently slapped the horse's ears with the whip in his hand.Last night, he ordered someone to send a greeting card, but the owner of this mansion made him wait for more than ten minutes and still didn't show up. This undoubtedly made him feel very annoyed.

Ali Pasha's incident back then was neither big nor small, and it still attracted a lot of attention in front of such a behemoth as the Ottoman Empire.The person who can buy his children is not only a wealthy businessman, but also a powerful nobleman.

With Patrick's arrogance, of course he would not pay attention to an imperial nobleman from an undeveloped plane. His moves were quick and powerful, and a small induction magic solved everything.However, for Muhammad, Abdullah's experience was unimaginable-he was the son of the current Ottoman Emperor Mahmud II, a conferred prince, and once in charge of the Imperial Guard, his power was evident; Abdullah was his only cousin, and he was well-known in Istanbul. How dare this group of outsiders take away his beloved slave?

——Perhaps it wasn't a robbery. Judging by Abdullah's appearance, he made the deal completely willingly.However, while handing him over willingly, he wept bitterly in front of him with remorse... Perhaps this group of outsiders may have some wonderful witchcraft in their hands.

After discovering some clues, Muhammad ordered people to investigate the group.When he woke up this morning, the results of the investigation were on his desk.There seems to be nothing out of the ordinary. The aristocrats who came to the city in a luxurious carriage spent a lot of money to buy this house with an excellent location. The original owner of the house said that there are no obvious regional characteristics from the clothes and appearance. The accent is downright Turkish... which adds another layer of fog to their origins.

Muhammad was very interested in this.If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't be waiting here patiently now, but ordered his guards to break open the gate, arrest those rich foreigners and teach them a lesson, so that they would obediently return the abducted slave.

But even if the other party aroused his interest, he would still take the slave away—he was very curious to make Abdullah so cherished and determined that Prince Ulysses, who could be loved in the sultan's harem, What a rare beauty in the world.

After waiting for a long time, the gate of the mansion was finally opened slowly.However, it was not the master here who stood at the door to greet him, but two lines of servants lined up neatly.Lilith, who was wearing a purple robe, walked out of the door with a yinyin smile, stood on the steps and bowed to Mohammed: "Welcome, Your Royal Highness Prince Mohammed."

Muhammad glanced over and frowned unhappily.These damn outsiders are too arrogant, they actually only send a woman to meet him?

The Ottoman Empire did not have the habit of appointing female housekeepers, not to mention that Lilith had tampered with her appearance, and the shell of the elf was covered with a faint shadow, which made people glance at it subconsciously without leaving any impression. .She still had a smile on her face, as if she didn't notice Muhammad's displeasure, she leaned forward and said, "My lord is already waiting in the living room, please follow me."

Muhammad snorted inexplicably, and his anger rose.It was already very rude for the other party not to greet him at the door, and now he let himself be led in by the servant to meet him?Who does he think he is?King of England?

As soon as the handle of the whip was knocked, the servant leading the horse for Muhammad cursed knowingly: "You lowly and ignorant slave, do you know who you are facing? How dare you speak to His Royal Highness like this..."

Lilith raised her eyebrows, and a light flashed in her green eyes.Muhammad suddenly felt a little dizzy, and the stamina from swallowing the dope last night seemed to come back again.He yawned listlessly, as if a vision appeared in front of his eyes, and lazily said: "Shut up, Harris."

Lilith lowered her head, as if she had done nothing just now: "Please follow me in, Your Royal Highness."

Under the horrified eyes of the servants, Muhammad got off his horse and staggered towards the gate.Lilith sideways let him go, and then walked in.Muhammad's personal servant wanted to follow up as if he had just woken up from a dream, but the door panel was closed neatly, blocking them out.

After the gate was closed, the servants who were originally lined up on both sides twisted and disappeared from the air.Muhammad suddenly shivered, as if someone had poured a basin of ice water over his head, and his mind became clear.He looked around subconsciously, and vaguely remembered why he walked in here, but he couldn't remember exactly why.

But for a self-willed person like him, it doesn't matter what the reason is, what matters is whether the matter is out of his own will.Since he wanted to walk in here by himself, there is no need to think about it.

Lilith didn't give him too much time to think about it, and she seemed to be leading the way respectfully.She quickly brought Muhammad to a living room on the second floor, reached out and opened the door: "My lord, Prince Muhammad has arrived."

Edmund murmured, and said lazily, "Please come in."

Muhammad felt unhappy again.He walked into the living room slowly, and cast his eyes on Edmund sharply like a knife: "I didn't expect a king to come to the city."

Edmund heard the irony in his words, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.Muhammad was mocking him for being as arrogant as a king, for daring to slight a prince like this.

In fact, Edmund really didn't take him seriously.Lilith had already found out the details of Muhammad last night. He was the son of a concubine in the early years of the Sudan. He also had power for a period of time, but with the disbandment of the Guards, his influence in the empire The power is not as good as before, and even reduced to the point of relying on sex to obtain happiness.

Even if his strength is suppressed by the contract, Edmond has the ability to destroy a country at any time.Even if the emperor of the Ottoman Empire stood in front of him, he still wouldn't pay attention to it, let alone Muhammad was just a little prince?He didn't raise his eyes, his eyes were still on the scroll, and said indifferently: "Please forgive me for the inconvenient reception now, Your Royal Highness. You can sit freely."

Muhammad snorted coldly and sat down opposite Edmund.He wanted to say a few more words to restore the scene, but after hearing Edmond's voice, his legs started to go numb involuntarily... But this abnormality was quickly forgotten by him, and he turned to Take a look at Edmond's appearance.

Muhammad certainly didn't know that his paralysis just now was not an accident.As the bone dragon of the abyss, Edmond was born with the ability to control all bones, and his voice certainly has a certain deterrent power.If a person is in good health, this untargeted deterrence will not be noticed at all. However, although Muhammad is only in his 30s, his body has long been hollowed out by alcohol, sex and drugs, and his bone quality is so poor that even a 60-year-old Old people are not as good, of course they will feel numbness in their legs.

From Edmond's appearance, he couldn't see any clues either.The facial features seem to have Germanic features, but they are very similar to Gauls. The temperament is very mature, but there is no wrinkle on the face, and it looks like it will not be more than 20 years old at most... It seems unsurprising, but there is Such an intimidating handsomeness, whether it's the clothes or the layout of the house, it shows that he lives a luxurious life...

The servants quickly served them black tea, and then retreated quietly, obviously well-trained.Muhammad stared at Edmond, and said unceremoniously: "I saw a prince coming to visit, should you also introduce your background, Your Excellency?"

"I'm just a small lord of an insignificant territory, the prince doesn't need to care about my identity." Edmond said indifferently.

Muhammad glanced at the room, and snorted questioningly: "Little lord?"

Most of the decorations here are not even recognized by him, but the luxurious atmosphere cannot be faked by any means.The blanket on the sofa alone is probably enough to replace three beautiful female slaves. With such financial resources, you actually say that you are just a little lord?

"Indeed, in my hometown, the territory that my family and I own is just the most barren and narrow piece of land." Edmond said without changing his expression, his expression was very sincere, "My father once set a great record foundation, but after he left, the territory I could have turned back to such a small piece that I was even pushed out of the upper class... Now there is some turmoil there, and I have to bring my own property and servants Across the ocean, hoping to find some peace."

Muhammad nodded knowingly—a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If this is the case, Edmond's financial resources and ostentation are understandable.

Lilith laughed so hard behind the door that her skeleton was about to be shaken apart—well, yes, Edmund is indeed the owner of the most barren and narrow territory in the abyss, and he was indeed excluded because of his powerful background. In the circle of abyss lords, in order to drive him out of the core circle of power, the demons even used the excuse of impure blood...

What a serious nonsense!

Wrapped in a gorgeous palace dress, Ulysses was standing by the door with a gloomy face when he suddenly saw Lilith leaning against the wall and laughing wildly as if she had gone mad, and subconsciously took a step back: " ... Madam Lilith ..."

Lilith, who was still laughing wildly just now, returned to normal in a blink of an eye. She straightened her hair in a dignified manner, and said with a smile: "I was rude, Your Royal Highness, I suddenly thought of a very funny thing just now."

When she said this, if Ulysses asked any more questions, it would be awkward again.Ulysses didn't ask any more questions, but nodded, and grabbed the hem of the heavy skirt, waiting expressionlessly for the small door to be opened.

Of course, it was impossible for Edmund to prepare a dress suitable for Ulysses in advance, and this dress was contributed by Lilith.The elves are always tall and slender, and this suit fits Ulysses just right.It's just that he avoided the pain of having his chest tied, but he had to fill his chest with two apples to avoid revealing his stuff later.

Edmund had the ability to take him away, or simply hide, ignoring Prince Muhammad who came to visit today.Ulysses didn't think that the reason why he asked him to wait beside him in women's clothes was to solve the trouble, but more like digging a trap and waiting for someone to jump... And his appearance, I'm afraid it's love. Demon selected the bait.

Until now, he still hasn't figured out Edmund's origin, but he has become more and more aware of the mystery of the other party... But whether it is mysterious or not, it is always a good thing to have great energy.It was even more fortunate for Ulysses to meet someone who dared to oppose the Ottoman Empire when he first escaped.

And in the living room separated by a door, Muhammad has already indicated his intention to come.

He had been apprehensive about Edmund's possible background, but now that that layer had been erased, he no longer needed to be so polite to these strangers.

"I heard that you bought a slave yesterday, and this slave was originally offered to me by his master." Muhammad made up his mind to take a fortune from Edmond, so he spoke indiscriminately. Get up, "For this gift, I even prepared a gorgeous small building for him to live in. Even if the Sultan makes a move, it's best to do this. But he was resold to you halfway, I think Ask, is there such a thing?"

Edmund raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise: "Is there such a thing? Since I came to Istanbul, every day my housekeeper has to choose a few pleasing slaves for me. I didn't expect that one of them came from It was taken from you."

Muhammad sent someone to investigate him, so how could he not know that he came to Istanbul for five days and bought only one slave in total.Edmund was obviously the same as he was just now, talking nonsense, trying to turn things in a direction that is beneficial to him...

He raised his chin and said coldly: "I hope to get an explanation, sir, why did your butler take away the slave I ordered?"

Edmond shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe there is some misunderstanding? We are all civilized people who abide by the law, Your Royal Highness. I can guarantee that all the slaves my butler bought are in accordance with legal procedures. Since the other party If you willingly sold the slave to me, and I bought him willingly, then our deal is protected by the gods—won’t you be the god who wants to break the deal, Your Highness?"

It's all from the law to God, and Abdullah did sell the slaves willingly, what else can Muhammad say.His face twisted for a while: "Do you still have research on our religious laws? I thought you believed in another religion."

"Since you believe that this world was created by the only true God, and everyone in the world is sheltered under his power, then of course I am protected by him no matter whether I am a pagan or not." Ed In a nonchalant manner, he opened the scroll and continued to read it, as if seeing off a guest.

Going away from here like this, of course Muhammad would not be reconciled.Enter | Since entering here, he can say that he didn't answer what the purpose is, and immediately said: "The purpose of my coming here is to verify the authenticity of the matter. Since your transaction is completely legal, then I have nothing else to do. It's easy to talk. But before I leave, can I meet that slave? After all, he was once the slave who was going to give to me..."

Edmund had long expected that he would make such a request.It had been five days since they arrived in Istanbul, and they had nothing to do with Muhammad. The reason why the other party came to visit in this way could only be because they learned about Ulysses from Abdullah.No matter why Abdullah raised Ulysses, it was under the banner of "the most beautiful woman in the world". If Muhammad couldn't satisfy his curiosity, he would definitely not leave easily.

It stands to reason that this matter had nothing to do with Edmund, let alone hiding Ulysses, even if he moved immediately, there would still be time.The reason why he asked Ulysses to change into women's clothes was to vent his anger on his new collection.

If you think about it, you can know that a prince who had high hopes since he was a child was raised as a male chong. He couldn't even find a hair on his slender fingers. After running for two streets, he jumped into someone's house exhausted. The yard, for Ulysses, was nothing short of a shame.It is conceivable how much he hates Abdullah, and the abyss bone dragon never minds to vent his anger for his possessions.

After all, Ulysses is also his "fiancée".The fiancée is humiliated, how can the fiancé stand by and watch?

Edmund clapped his hands, and said casually: "Then let's meet——Lilith, bring Haiide out."

Muhammad: "..." Hai...Haidee! ?Isn't it Ulysses! ?

Under his surprised gaze, a small door hidden behind the curtain opened quietly, and Ulysses, wearing a veil, walked out slowly, holding up the hem of his skirt.
