"I don't know. Are you satisfied with my answer? Mr. Master."
Even though Xu Lai couldn't recognize the pattern representing the imperial nobility, he could still understand the underlying color.
After all, Xu Lai was an imperial baron before he became the king of the Eagle Kingdom.
As a noble, you cannot take the initiative to tell others that you are an imperial baron, viscount or earl.
It's not that it's impossible, but it's very inelegant.
Therefore, nobles need something that can show their identity without being obtrusive.
This is how the noble coat of arms was born. The pattern represents the family and the background color represents the rank.
The supplementary clothes in the feudal dynasty, the color of the clothes, the hangings on the waist, the flower feathers on the crown, and the military ranks in modern society are all to clarify the rank.
But although Xu Lai could understand, he deliberately called him Mr. Master in order to tell the group of princes and nobles in front of him.
No matter what status they had in the empire before, as the king of the Eagle Kingdom, he did not recognize them all.
Xu Lai didn't know whether the other person understood his hint. Anyway, the mage who stood up did not directly answer Xu Lai's question.
"After Kerrigan plundered the resources in the palace, he found a place to store them. It is said that it was over there in the Holy City.
If His Majesty the King doesn't mind, we can go to the warehouse first and look for the materials needed to repair the teleportation array. ”
Xu Lai glanced at Holy Angel City and thought, no wonder those nightmare beasts were staying there.
"No, you go to the teleportation array first. If you need any materials, just tell me directly."
The mage frowned and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, you are not a professional.
Some spell materials, even if they are of the same type, cannot be used universally depending on the year, size, and amount of magic contained.
We must make selections on the spot before we can decide which materials can be used to repair the teleportation array. ”
Xu Lai snorted coldly and said: "Then tell me the materials you need in detail.
It's my problem that I can't find the materials you want. Whether I can cultivate it and whether I can cultivate it well is what you need to consider. ”
After saying that, Xu Lai didn't bother to pay attention to this group of people, and took Elvi and the angels to rush to the warehouse left by Kerrigan.
These guys are focused on this warehouse, which means there must be good things hidden in it.
Kerrigan is a demon after all. There are some equipment and treasures that Kerrigan cannot use immediately even if he holds them.
Just like the Demon Armor and Demon Scythe obtained by Xu Lai, it cannot be used by him unless he finds a master-level blacksmith to modify it.
Kerrigan probably never thought that he would be defeated, so he regarded Lionheart City as his future base camp.
He even didn't hesitate to leave his mount here, otherwise Xu Lai really couldn't say how the battle would have turned out last night if Kerrigan added another nightmare beast.
After accidentally finding out the location of the treasure house, Xu Lai couldn't wait to find it.
As for the heart of the castle buried in the palace, Xu Lai was not worried that anyone would take it away.
First of all, he had just appointed a peace officer, and their own troops plus the recruited security officers were quite numerous.
An operation as big as digging out the heart of the castle cannot be done by one or two people in a minute or two.
Secondly, the soldiers in the palace have just been unarmed by Xu Lai. Even if the princes and nobles still have space rings in their hands, they should not be able to arm too many people.
Even if they can grab the heart of the castle, they will only dig it for Xu Lai.
When the time comes, Xu Lai can just grab it from them and save himself the trouble of finding a location for exploration and excavation.
Sure enough, not long after Xu Lai left, someone suggested finding a way to dig up the heart of the castle and take it away.
"I've heard about the Eagle Kingdom. The founder is indeed a hero who descended.
However, I heard that the Eagle Kingdom was very unfriendly to the old nobles, and the entire Eagle Kingdom was canonized to an old viscount.
The others who surrendered to this guy only received nominal titles, and even lost the right to govern their own castles.
All taxes and soldiers in the castle must be handed over to him, and he only distributes a fixed income based on the size of the title. ”
"Yes, many nobles I know have fled to the Southern Empire with their families.
Let's go there. Even if we don't have the fief, at least no one can take away the title.
Didn't the man named Xu ask us to find a way to repair the teleportation array?
I bet that the demon Cregan just destroyed the teleportation array. He definitely wouldn't destroy the teleportation beacons in the teleportation array one by one.
We just need to repair the teleportation array silently, and first connect the road signs connected to the Southern Empire.
When the time comes, let's take the Heart of the Castle and take the teleportation array to the Southern Empire together! "Another person came up with an idea.
"Hmph, do you know where Kerrigan buried the Heart of the Castle?
Even if you can find it, do you have enough energy to activate the teleportation array and send so many of us away?
Or do you think that the person named Xu is a fool who can watch us looking for the Heart of the Castle and watch a lot of us pour into the teleportation array? ”
Once the teleportation array is activated, the light will not only alarm the whole city, but the impact will definitely be considerable. It is probably impossible to hide it from Xu Lai.
This group of people couldn't even defeat the demon guards left by Kerrigan, so how could they be the opponents of Xu Lai and the Holy Angels.
If the teleportation array is not used, let alone the outside of Lion Heart City, it is still the territory of the devil.
There were at least 100,000 demons who escaped from Lionheart City, not to mention the manors and towns outside the city that were originally occupied by demons.
With Xu Lai's small manpower, it was already very difficult to snatch Lion Heart City back from the demons. He really didn't have the manpower to drive away the demons outside the city.
Therefore, it is basically impossible to leave Lion Heart City on foot.
It is even more impossible to walk from the air, even if some of them find a way to hide the raised royal griffin.
No matter how good they can fly, they can't fly faster than the angels.
There is another possibility, which is to use equipment such as a teleportation scroll or a teleportation ring to leave.
However, those things often cannot take away too many people, and the key is that they cannot run too far.
In Lionheart City, no matter what, at least one life can be saved.
If they were teleported near the devil, wouldn't it be a waste?
If they had communicated with outsiders in advance and bound the teleportation beacon in advance, they would have been able to fly away.
However, what they are bound to is usually the teleportation array in their own territory.
But as expected, their territory was either taken away by demons or fell into Xu Lai's hands.
No matter which path they take, it is impossible and impassable.
"We can activate the teleportation array in Lion Heart City."
Suddenly, the young mage who had previously said he wanted to repair the teleportation array spoke up.
Seeing everyone looking at him, the young mage explained:
"In the past, teleportation arrays relied on energy stones to operate. You have all forgotten that in fact, the original teleportation arrays relied on the power of mages for teleportation.
In addition, Xu Lai promised to provide us with materials. As long as we don't ask for energy stones in large quantities, he should not be suspicious.
To repair the teleportation array, energy stones must be used. It's just that we mages need to stay here to maintain the teleportation array, so we can't go with you.
And if we choose to let you go, Xu will definitely not let us go. ”
At this point, the young mage suddenly stopped talking.
Everyone present, who was not one of the best in a thousand, knew that this guy wanted to negotiate terms.
Since they are negotiating terms, it is up to them to pay back the money.
"As mages, you must have a lot of life-saving tools. I don't believe that Xu can really kill you."
The young mage did not mince his words and admitted directly: "We are confident that we can escape.
But we all know how important a life-saving tool is in such troubled times.
Besides, by repairing the teleportation array, we are doing meritorious service for the Eagle Kingdom.
No matter how domineering and rational the person named Xu is, he should treat us kindly and reward us, otherwise no one will help him in the future.
But once we let you go, we will completely offend the Eagle Kingdom.
In such troubled times, not only losing a life-saving item, but also turning friends into enemies with a strong man who can defeat the Lord of Hell, the loss is immeasurable! ”
They all know each other's ins and outs. They all come from aristocratic families that have been around for thousands of years, so they naturally understand that each family has its own special treasures.
"Even so, there must be someone guarding the teleportation array.
Are those guards all fools, allowing so many of us to gather and then be teleported away by you? ”
Someone asked a new question.
The young mage smiled confidently and said: "How many people do people named Xu have in total?
He was so eager to repair the teleportation array that he must teleport his men over.
Now he has no one available, so he chooses to win over those low-level mercenaries.
Mercenaries, aren't they all greedy for money? With your wealth, I don't believe that each of you doesn't have some private goods. ”
When Kerrigan occupied Lionheart City, he would naturally not let go of the mansions of these princes and nobles.
However, they are all foxes of thousands of years. How can these people put all their eggs in one basket?
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, but everyone was silent.
Each of them wore a bright space ring on their hands, which obviously contained a lot of wealth.
There are many families present, and if each family takes out a little bit, it will be a huge amount of wealth.
In the past, this kind of wealth was more than enough to purchase several mercenary groups, let alone just temporary purchases.
But in such troubled times, the wealth in hand is the only capital, and no one is willing to take it out easily.
It’s just that they can’t refute the mage, because they know that the mage’s proposal can be achieved.
"As long as they bribe the guarding teleportation array and the nearby security guards, can Xu Lai and his two men, who only have 6 pairs of eyes in total, be able to see through?
Let's keep a low profile, find a night, quietly gather at the teleportation array, and run away.
As long as he moves quickly enough, even if Xu discovers it, he won't be able to stop him in time. ”
"What about the heart of the castle, and the treasures and supplies in the palace's treasury?"
The mage paused and said: "There were so many people hiding in the palace at that time. Even if you don't dare to appear near Kerrigan, you can always guess where he has been.
Let's each summarize the information, and it's not difficult to deduce where Kerrigan has been.
There aren't many locations where Castle Hearts can be placed, so it's not too difficult to find them one by one.
And it doesn’t take long to rebury the heart of the castle. Everyone just needs to pay attention to look for traces of new soil.
As for the things in the treasure house, there is nothing we can do. I just kept asking to go to the treasure house to select materials, but he refused.
If we had to pursue the idea of a treasure trove, none of us would survive. That person named Xu is not someone who can share the treasure with us.
There are gains and losses, just wait for the troops and men named Xu to enter the city, or wait for him to gain enough prestige and trust among those at the bottom.
Even if you want to leave by then, you probably won’t be able to leave. ”
After several people were silent for a while, they finally asked the most important question.
"Then what are you planning to do by taking the risk of sending us away?
It can't be that all of you McCoy family members suddenly show kindness and do things without expecting anything in return. ”
The young man who had been talking before was none other than Devin McCoy, the heir to the McCoy family of this generation.
The McCoy family is a famous mage family in the empire.
After all the well-known mages went to the tower, there were only a few mage families left in the empire.
The McCoy family is one of the best. Devin McCoy became a mage at a young age and was appointed as the chief court mage.
Those who followed this young mage before were all court mages appointed by High King Aled.
As court mage, most of them, even from the McCoy family, naturally listen to Devin McCoy.
Devin curled his lips slightly and said: "Of course that's impossible.
As you all know, the most important thing for a mage’s practice is resources.
As the court mage, our McCoy family has always been operating a power near Lionheart City.
Let’s not talk about the assets outside the city. Lion Heart City was beaten like this, and it is estimated that the ancestral property cannot be saved.
For the sake of the development of the McCoy family, I can only ask you to help us for the sake of our colleagues. ”
Several people sneered, and as expected, they hurriedly asked Devin for the specific price.
"The McCoy family only needs some gold coins and rare resources.
I know that you will not get a fiefdom when you go to the Southern Empire, so the heart of the castle in Lionheart City will definitely not be given to me.
After destroying the Castle Heart in Lionheart City, you should also get a lot of blueprints.
Whether it’s the blueprints of a shooter or a knight, I don’t want them all, I just want one thing. ”
"What?" someone asked immediately
"I want the architectural drawings of Yunzhong City!"
"Hey, why didn't you say you wanted Congress?"
The man just said it casually, but Devin immediately hit the snake and said with a stick:
"Of course, if you are not willing to give me the architectural drawings of Yunzhong City, you can also give me the drawings of the Congress!" (End of Chapter)
