Dragon Family

Although more than half of the people present sneered at his statement, it was not a good choice to offend this group of uninvited guests until they figured out the purpose of this group of uninvited guests.The people in the circle slowly moved out of the way, Linton took the lead and walked in slowly with Cress behind him.

The person who reported the letter was right. The Fifth Prince was indeed held hostage, but he was treated well. At least his clothes were intact and his mouth was not torn. His hair was a bit messy but not burnt. Although his handsome face was slightly stained The blood, but not his own.Moreover, he was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed.

As a hostage, Linton thought, he was doing quite well.

A lot of people were lying around the fifth prince, including magicians and knights, some passed out, and some were too seriously injured to get up.It can be seen how fierce the battle was at that time.

And the hostage-takers didn't take advantage of it.Some of them were standing, some half-kneeling, and some were simply sitting, with burns and sword wounds all over their faces. The leader, Kress, was very familiar, the one who was sent to pick him up, Pierce and McGee aboard. Lord Ludd.

In order to prevent the hostage-takers from being threatened and harming the hostages, they were isolated in the center. The fifth prince's people did not dare to get too close, and other people on Twin Island were on guard against the fifth prince's troops.

Linton's appearance was very abrupt, and immediately attracted the attention of the hostage-takers and hostages.

"Holy knight?" Earl Ludd narrowed his eyes, clearly showing vigilance.

Linton said: "I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince a few questions."

The corner of the fifth prince's mouth grinned, and he smiled reluctantly, "You picked a good time, and now I can't go anywhere, I'm free."

Linton took a liking to the fifth prince who was in danger, "It's about the fact that the major chapters sponsored the attack on Twin Islands."

The fifth prince said: "The goddess is kind, I am grateful to Dade." If his tone was not so foolish, it might be more convincing.

Linton said: "This is unprecedented in Shenhui."

"Really?" the fifth prince said nonchalantly, "I am loyal to the goddess, but I know only a little about the history of your society. I think it is my reverence and sincerity for the goddess that touched her heart."

Linton said: "So, did the branch offer you sponsorship?"

The fifth prince said: "That's right. If you want to take back these sponsorships, it will be difficult for you. I spent a lot of money to find someone to help you. When you come in, you should see that those brave figures are exactly these people." Money is behind the scenes. There was some left over, but this dude's demands hollowed out that too."

Linton looked up at Earl Lud.

Earl Ludd sneered and said, "I don't believe that such a huge empire can't even produce two elemental crystals."

The fifth prince suddenly yelled: "Elemental Crystal, man, you are talking about Elemental Crystal! I have only seen this thing in picture books. And you only gave me three days, and I used it to tell my father It's not enough for the emperor to ask for help—if he still cares about me."

Earl Ludd said: "Don't play tricks. I believe Shamanliel's palace must have a collection."

"But my life may not be worth so much money. Before you kidnap me, you should really ask how many children my father has." His tone was calm, without resentment, as if he felt that even if Emperor Shamanlier refused to use elemental crystals to It's normal to save him.

Earl Ludd was a little speechless.

Listening to their conversation, Kress suddenly fell in love with the young prince.

Linton said: "Thank you for your cooperation, I'm sorry." The task was completed, and he was about to leave.

Earl Ludd suddenly said: "I just heard a voice, it seems to be an old friend, can I invite him to see?"

An old friend from Twin Islands?Linton could only think of Kleiss.

Cress didn't intend to go out, but just patted Bunier on the shoulder.Bunier, who was entrusted with important tasks, went out like this, "I don't know you." He deliberately lowered his voice, sounding a bit like Kress.

Earl Ludd was stunned for a moment, looking at him suspiciously, as if trying to figure out if he had heard wrong.

Linton saw that Kles didn't intend to admit it, so he immediately took people away.

"Your Excellency Holy Knight." The fifth prince's guard was a little anxious, "Please help Your Highness, Your Majesty will thank you very much!" If something happened to the Fifth Prince at their hands, they would have nothing to eat when they go back.

Linton asked Kress for instructions with his eyes.

Relying on the advantage of height, Kleis is well hidden among the crowd.Chris shook his head slightly.

Linton said: "This is a war between your country and the Twin Islands, not an ordinary threat. It is inconvenient for us to intervene until His Majesty the Pope gives clear instructions."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Just now the Holy Knights personally admitted that the God of Light sponsored the five princes to attack the twin islands, but now the Holy Knights say that they have nothing to do with this war. After careful investigation, does it mean that there are also differences within the God of Light?

Kles ignored everyone's thoughts, and returned directly to the inn under the protection of Linton and others.

McGee didn't understand: "Will this not affect the reputation of the Holy Knights?"

Chris asked, "Why?"

"Willing to die..."

"The fifth prince's life is not threatened, and even if threatened, it is on the battlefield."

"But..." McGee still felt something was wrong.

When Kles saw Earl Ludd, he thought of Pierce, and then became more tolerant of McGee, "Before the Pope gives an order, only the Holy Order of the Holy Knights can participate in the war unconditionally."

McGee sighed and said, "Oh, it would be nice if I didn't watch the excitement, so I wouldn't have to be forced to express my opinion." Even though he was not a holy knight, when he stood among them and walked away from everyone's eyes, he still felt Arrived under extreme pressure.

Bunier said strangely: "We didn't do anything wrong, why should we be afraid to express our opinion?"

Linton said: "We are here to investigate the sponsorship. This is aboveboard, and it can be done aboveboard."

McGee said, "But, won't people know that there is internal disharmony in God's Society?"

Chris said, "Then you know."

Since some people within the Society of Light used inappropriate means to participate in wars in other countries, it was justifiable for the Holy Knights to investigate. Today's event was for those at the headquarters of the Society of Light.In front of so many people, they expressed their dissatisfaction with the practices of the Southern Branch, and expressed their attitude - even at the critical moment of the Pope's transition, the Holy Knights are still the Holy Knights, impartial.As for internal conspiracy and power competition, these are not what they need to consider.

McGee said, "I don't understand." He felt that he didn't know Kress a little bit.After seeing all kinds of small actions of Kleis in private, and seeing his upright side, it seems that his perception of this person has been subverted again.

Kress has adapted just fine.Although putting everything on the surface is not his favorite way of doing things, but when he is with other holy knights, he will unconsciously restrain himself from doing so—of course, after participating in group activities, he can also act alone appropriately.

The town of Iverson is in chaos.The surprise attack on the Twin Islands disrupted the fifth prince's steps, and put the entire Shamanlier in a passive position, and the existence of the Holy Knights added more variables to the above.Although they made it clear that they would not join the war, there was a prerequisite for that statement, that is, His Majesty the Pope did not issue an order.Since the Southern Branch of the Society of Light has sponsored the Fifth Prince, who knows that the Pope is not behind it?

At the same time, Shamanliel Palace is also worried.

Similar to the situation of the Guangming Shenhui, they are also worrying about the heir to the throne.

It stands to reason that the eldest prince is middle-aged and has a good character, so he should take the throne, but he is a cripple. The old emperor attaches great importance to the image of the empire, and he feels uncomfortable when he thinks that the future heir of the empire is a cripple. This discomfort lasted for a few days. After ten years, it has become a knot in his heart, and his attitude towards the eldest prince is also very perfunctory. As time goes by, the relationship between father and son is very bad.

The second prince is beautiful, smart and sweet-mouthed, but he is a lecherous ghost, the relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious, and the stories of molesting women from good families are widely circulated, his reputation is not very good, and he has no political achievements.

The third prince has a good appearance, healthy limbs, and a good person, not lecherous, and gentle, but his mother is not the queen.

The fourth prince died early.

The fifth prince is good in all aspects, but he has a wild and unruly personality. He likes to run out all day long, and he can't be locked up at all.

The old emperor was lying on the bed, pointing to his son with his fingers, counting the tears and then falling down, just when the courtier sent the news that the fifth prince was kidnapped, he was not feeling well, panting for a long time before saying: " Where's Andre?"

The courtier was stunned for a moment, and thought: You are afraid that he will be forced into the palace by his son, so you sent him to the border?All he had to say was that the Duke of Baseco was guarding the defense.

"Does he have a son in the palace?"

"Yes, a great magician."

"...Go and call."

Dilling was quickly called to the palace.

The old emperor sat up and quietly looked at the handsome boy in front of him, "You really don't want to marry Joni?" He said without thinking.

Di Lin hesitated for a moment, then said after consideration: "Thank you for your kindness, I have already..."

"I see." Ever since the old emperor found out that his time was short, he didn't like others to waste time. "I called you here for one thing, do you know Elemental Crystal?"

Di Lin said: "I have heard that it is the most precious crystal."

"Can you recognize it?"

"can."

The old emperor said: "In a while, follow Mani to the storeroom to have a look. If there is any, just take two yuan."

Although Di Lin didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, the emperor did what he said, and immediately took orders to go.That mani was the courtier who served the emperor.

The two walked on the palace path one after the other, without speaking.

There were two guards guarding the door of the warehouse, and they let people in only when they saw the emperor's handwriting.Dilling followed Mani into the warehouse, and Mani lit the lamp, but there were not many things in the warehouse.

Dilling looked at several empty boxes, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart.This is the small private treasury of Emperor Shamanlier, and it is not as rich as Hydein.

Mani opened several boxes, which contained gold, silver, crystals and various jewels. The quantity was not much, but the appearance was good.

Di Lin searched cautiously for a long time, and finally dug out a piece of elemental crystal, which was only half the size of a fist. He searched further, but couldn't find the second one.

Mani sighed suddenly and said, "The warehouse was full before."

Di Lin really wanted to ask why it was empty, but he remembered that his father had told him not to know too much about royal secrets before sending him into the palace, so he didn't say anything.

The two came out of the warehouse, still walking in tandem, and met the First Prince on the way.The eldest prince told Mani to go first, expressing that he and Dilling would walk alone for a while.Mani's order from the old emperor didn't work, so he had to run away unwillingly.

The eldest prince and Di Lin looked at each other silently for a while, and then said, "No wonder Joni likes you."

"..." Di Lin said, "Your Highness misunderstood, in fact the princess treats me..."

"Needless to say." The First Prince waved his hand impatiently.

Di Lin: "..." Is everyone talking in such a hurry recently?

The eldest prince said: "You know why you live in the palace, right?"

Di Lin said slowly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love, I..."

As expected, the eldest prince cut off his words, "To prevent Duke Baseco from joining forces with one of us. You are a hostage."

Even if Di Lin knew it in his heart, he didn't dare to admit that he knew it, "Your Highness is worrying too much, in fact..."

"Although the Baseko family has a new heir, in the eyes of His Majesty and the Duke, you are still the most important."

Dilling felt warm in his heart.

The eldest prince said: "I'm not praising you."

Di Lin said seriously: "Your Highness, actually I..." Huh?No interruption this time.He coughed, and continued: "I like to study magic, and I enjoyed my stay at St. Padres School of Magic..."

"Needless to say, I know your background and your relationship with Heiden. Father is confused. Even if the Duke really has plans, what can he do to you? If you lose a hair, the mainland The first magician must immediately burn the entire city of Bot."

Di Lin: "..." In fact, the mentor is not so cruel... right?

The eldest prince said: "Then, what exactly is the Duke's plan?" He circled around for a long time, and finally came to the main topic.

Dilling said: "Father only has Shaman Lear in his heart, and he has been defending it with his life..."

"Tell me what I like to hear!" The eldest prince was dissatisfied.Discriminated against by the old emperor for a long time, the eldest prince has a very bad temper.

"..." The loyal marshal who holds the military power doesn't like to hear such words, how can he be an emperor?Dilling whispered: "Father is loyal to the empire."

The eldest prince said: "That is to say, he will not get involved in the battle for the throne no matter what?"

Dilling didn't speak.

"What if I marry you?"

Dilling: "..."

The eldest prince sighed and said, "I just said it casually."

Dilling: "..."

"Although I worked hard for a long time to build my mind, I still...don't like men." The eldest prince sighed again, and walked away slowly.

Di Lin: "..." No wonder I said I wanted to learn magic and didn't want to go into politics, and my father didn't oppose it too strongly. It seems that I already have a certain understanding of the future of the empire.

When Di Lin returned to the palace, the old emperor had already fallen asleep. He was thinking about whether to come back tomorrow, when he saw the courtiers shaking the old emperor awake.

The old emperor opened his eyes in a daze, looked at his courtiers and then at Di Lin, raised his spirits and said, "You're back, did you find it?"

Di Lin looked at the amiable old emperor, and felt that it was very good that Shamanlier had such an emperor.He took out the small elemental crystal.The old emperor took it over and looked at it silently for a while, "Is there only one piece?"

Dilling nodded.

"It's two yuan." The old emperor thought for a while, "What can I use to cut it in half?"

"..." Di Lin said, "If the elemental crystal is split in half, it will become an ordinary crystal."

"The fifth emperor was kidnapped and asked for two elemental crystals..." He paused, "You can take one first, and rescue him." He looked at Di Lin, but his seemingly drowsy eyes revealed Jing Guang, "You won't disappoint my expectations, will you?"

Di Lin withdrew his amiable evaluation, knelt down and said, "I will definitely do my best."

When Dilling left for the town of Iverson, Taiya was looking for Earl Lud with Cress on his back.Earl Ludd had already got the Fifth Prince on board, and the land battle had been upgraded to a sea battle.

Earl Ludd's ship was surrounded by other ships from Twin Islands and used a magic circle.Taiya went in like walking on flat ground.Kress once again saw the effect of magic immunity.

Probably convinced that he was sleeping in the impenetrable defense, Earl Ludd tied the fifth prince up with a rope and placed him in the magic circle. Instead of guarding him personally, he played the harp instead.

Kress waited for him to finish playing a piece before going in.

Earl Ludd looked at him in surprise, and it took him a long time to remember to call for help, when Kles said lazily: "Even if there are elemental crystals, as long as you know the time when the Twin Islands enter and exit, you can still attack."

Earl Ludd's throat seemed to be choked, and he couldn't speak a word.

"Let me ask you a few questions."

Earl Ludg gritted his teeth: "Why should I answer you?"

"Because it's good."

"...what's the benefit?"

"Element crystal."

Earl Ludd said angrily: "If you hadn't taken the elemental crystal, Twin Islands wouldn't have been exposed at all!"

Chris said, "Yes."

"..." The other party admitted so readily that Earl Ludd didn't know what to say.

Kles said, "Tell me the current situation of Twin Islands."

"Hmph, you can see what the current situation of the Twin Islands is by looking at whose hands the fifth prince is now!" Earl Ludd said proudly, "Even if it is the entire Samariel, the Twin Islands can beat them to pieces!"

"It seems that you don't need elemental crystals at all."

"...Do you have elemental crystals?" Earl Lud's eyes lit up.

Kles said, "Who is in charge of Twin Islands now?"

Earl Ludd said: "Me."

"I have four elemental crystals, because of your answer just now, there are only three left."

Earl Lud's lips trembled, "What else do you want to know?"

Knowing that he was hooked, Kles smiled slightly and said, "Is Prince Justin or...Pierce the one who decides the Twin Islands?"

Earl Ludd was shocked and looked at him in horror. "How, how do you know..."

Kles said: "Pierce and I are old friends." The mission he saw from the Adventurers' Guild gave him a vague feeling that the person the Adventurers' Guild wanted to help was actually not the Fifth Prince, but the Twin Islands.But the Twin Islands have been isolated from the world for so many years, how can they buy off the Adventurer's Guild that has gained a foothold in the Dream Continent?After much deliberation, he found that there was only one person with such abilities—Pierce, the vice president of the Adventurer's Guild.

Just as he was thinking, he felt his waist tightened. Taiya hugged his waist at some point, and his expression was not happy.The two are in a delicate semi-cold war as their partners disagree over their discussions.Taiya still clings to him, but she speaks significantly less, and expresses her displeasure mostly.

But its state gave Kress a sense of security.

He has never been in a relationship, and he is not sure which state they belong to, but he can really feel cared about from the other party's behavior.

What a wonderful experience.

He clapped the hand holding it.

Taiya snorted coldly, ungrateful.

Earl Ludd: "..." What about asking questions?

Kress continued: "What is your plan and purpose?"

Earl Ludd thought for a while, and probably felt that there was nothing to hide, and said: "Kidnapping the fifth prince, this has already been done, and the other thing is to get the elemental crystal. If you have three elemental crystals, I can return the fifth prince to you .”

"He doesn't belong to me." Chris immediately dismissed it.

"Who are you?" Earl Ludd asked.

Kles said: "I'll answer your question, can you give me the elemental crystal?"

"..."

Kles said: "You already have two elemental crystals in your hands?"

Earl Lud's eyes widened again.

It's nice to have such cooperative respondents.

"No!" Earl Ludd retorted loudly.

"Last question," Kress whispered, "how is Pierce doing?"

The night breeze is blowing gently, and it is a very romantic thing to walk hand in hand with the person you like on the beach.

Kress looked at the pair of lovers walking in front of him, feeling a little envious in his heart.A hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand firmly.Kress didn't go to see the owner of that hand. After holding it so many times, I'm afraid he won't forget the touch even if he loses his memory?

"Who is Pierce?" Taiya endured for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.

Kles said: "A very lucky person." It is really very lucky to survive such a situation, defeat Prince Justin and become the master of Twin Islands.But it also reminded him that no matter what happens next time, after the murder, he must see the person die before he can leave.

The next day, the Holy Knights did another thing that caused an uproar in the town of Iverson—sending an elemental crystal.
