To be honest, Rebecca is really not good at this aspect of things. Even if Gawain has explained it to her, she only half understands it - but she understands one thing. That is, my ancestor does not seem to have a good impression of the current King Francis II.
"Hostility is not something we can talk about, but vigilance is absolutely necessary." Hearing Rebecca's question, Gawain answered casually. He glanced at Amber standing next to him, but he was still greatly surprised. Fang Fangdi said, "Second Dynasty, don't forget that this is the 'Second Dynasty'. For a royal family that is not very legitimate, the Cecil family can be said to be the founding heroes, but they can also It's said that... people from the previous dynasty. Even if we don't have this intention, Francis II, as the king, has to have this concern, and his concerns determine my vigilance."
" So you want to cause trouble for His Majesty the King?" Rebecca blinked and asked.
"No, I don't actually want to cause trouble for him," Gawain shrugged, "I'm just making trouble."
Rebecca: "Huh?!"< /p>
Gawain really couldn't explain this problem to Rebecca, so he changed the topic directly: "Forget it, these are not important, let's continue the topic just now. Amber..."
Amber took the initiative to raise her hands to show her understanding without waiting for instructions: "I know, I know, go and guard outside, right? Oh, you have to work hard..."
"No," Gawain chose Raising his eyebrows, "I mean you can stay here - of course if you feel bored, you can go back to your room to rest first. You must be tired from all the hard work tonight, right?"
Amber She looked at Gawain in disbelief: "Hey, have you suddenly become kind-hearted?"
Then she shook her head and moved to the desk: "I won't go back. Let’s see what you two are going to do... Isn’t it really about dividing the inheritance?”
Gawain shook his head and ignored the half-elf, but placed the previous platinum disk on the table again. on the table.
"You just said this was a key," Rebecca still remembered what Gawain had just finished saying, "could it be our family's secret treasure?"
Amber He immediately raised his ears, but also deliberately looked around, pretending to be as fake as possible.
Gawain smiled: "It is indeed a treasure. It is a hidden treasure house located on the southern border, but it was originally prepared for the Ansu Kingdom. Of course, for today's kingdom, That shouldn't be considered a huge wealth anymore - but to the pioneering team who had just fled to this land, it was half of the expeditionary force's property."
Rebecca's eyes widened. Eye.
"It was originally an insurance policy for the Kingdom of Ansu. After all, in those days, no one knew what would happen the next day," Gawain smiled, telling the true story of this trip to the royal capital. purpose, "The pioneer team fled all the way north from the Wasteland of Gondor, weAs they moved, they incorporated and gathered the surviving people in the wasteland, and at the same time collected various resources. As a result, the team became larger, bloated, and eye-catching. As a result, when they crossed the dark mountains, a team wandered out of the wasteland. The monster army discovered our traces. The army covered the civilians moving in the mountains. Of course, the speed could not keep up with those sleepless monsters, so a fierce battle broke out. There was a lot of damage in that battle. When we were counting the losses after the war, Charlie and I realized one thing: those monsters would not give up. If we continued to carry all the luggage through the mountains and forests, the entire team would probably die on the road, so the two of us We made a decision...
"We kept some of the baggage that would seriously slow down the team and hid it deep in an abandoned border fortress. At the same time, we imposed a strong seal on the treasure house, and then the team Traveling lightly, we continued heading north.
“You also know the subsequent history - the pioneering team established a foothold in the north and established a stronghold between the Holy Spirit Plain and the northern mountains. In the center of the new kingdom, Charles I built a city in the Sunil area, but the supplies in the south... were still lying there quietly. "
Rebecca asked curiously: "Why didn't you get them back? "
"Initially it was because the situation was unstable and the cost was too high," Gawain explained. "At that time, the pollution was still spreading, and the monsters even spread the corruption zone to the north side of the Dark Mountain. So the place where we left our baggage became a contaminated zone, and it would be unwise to send a team to pick up the goods in that place. And more importantly, we have found abundant resources among the mountains in the north of the kingdom. The Holy Spirit Plain has also begun to produce a steady stream of wealth. It will not take long for these new wealth to exceed the few supplies left in the south. Due to these two factors, the treasure house in the southern mountains was slowly forgotten. "
Rebecca looked at the platinum disc in Gawain's hand: "But it doesn't seem to have been completely forgotten..."
"Yes, of course the pioneers remembered that they had left the treasure with them. Hidden somewhere, although that wealth will become increasingly insignificant in the foreseeable future, it is ultimately a 'memorial' of that epic development, and we thought at the time that the demonic tide would eventually subside naturally. , future generations will be able to retrieve those things safely one day, so Charlie and I made an agreement back then: Our two families will keep this secret respectively, and we will pass on the stories of those treasures in the South from generation to generation, Cecil The family and the heirs of the Morn family will know all this, and if one day the demonic tide subsides and the kingdom needs this property again, we will take it out. Think about it, ancient secrets that have been passed down for hundreds of years, treasure troves passed down from generation to generation by the royal family and the founding nobles, inheritances hidden in the mountains, still need a token to open - anyway, Charlie, the old middle school boy, thought this would be cool . "
Hu Huo looked Gawain up and down: "You two made this decision after you were drunk again, right? ”
Gao Wen: “…that’s pretty much it.”for. "
Rebecca looked at her ancestor blankly, and then said for a long time: "But I, the heir of Cecil, have never heard of this story..."
"This method of inheritance is always prone to problems," Gawain sighed. "My death was sudden and I didn't have time to explain it to my descendants..."
Rebecca: "..."
"But it seems that Charlie has passed on the secret to his descendants very well." Gawain coughed twice to break the embarrassment, and at the same time raised the platinum disc in his hand, "That's why I'm here. Confirm whether the key is still there - since it is still there, it means that the Ansu royal family has not accessed that property in the past seven hundred years. Charlie knew this secret, and his descendants who had inherited it normally also knew it, but the illegitimate children did not know it. ”
In Ansu 635-636, a civil strife destroyed the inheritance order of the royal family. The king did not have time to leave any heirs, and all the king’s brothers and sisters died in the civil war. In the end, only the Grand Duke of the North Supporting an illegitimate son who was found from the people and no one knew whether it was true or false to ascend the throne...
Even if the illegitimate child is true, he cannot know the secret of the southern treasure house
"Those things..." Rebecca looked at the "keys" with bright eyes, but then frowned, "But can we really use them casually? That's..."
Gawain glanced at the N+1 great-granddaughter: "Of course, you are a descendant of the Cecil family, so show some confidence. Charlie and I buried those things together. Apart from Charlie himself, is there anyone in the world who is more suitable to inherit that property than me? I don't believe that Charlie can jump out of the coffin like me..."
Rebecca thought for a moment, then suddenly turned around and grabbed Amber's arm hard: "You must not dig up the imperial tomb! "
Amber: "...What? "
Then the half-elf lady suddenly became excited and stared at Gawain nervously: "Wait a minute! I... I heard such a confidential thing... Are you really planning to take this opportunity to kill me and silence me? "
At this time, Gawain really wanted to slap her against the wall with his sword: "If I want to kill you, why should I wait until now? "
The tension on Amber's face did not go away at all: "Then what you two said has made me listen to an outsider..."
"First, I I quite trust you now. Secondly, I know you are actually a smart man." Gao Wen raised the disc in his hand, "The only bold idea you may have is to steal this disc, but this disc must be stolen. It can only be activated by the blood of the Moen family or the Cecil family, and it is hard to say whether the blood of the Moen family really exists in the world, so obviously, if you want to get some benefits, the only way is..."
Hu Ba took a step forward, raised his chest and raised his head, and said righteously: "It is a great honor to serve the founding heroes. I, Amber, will do my best to fulfill my duties - so epic.The matter is about money, right? "
"Then I really won't talk to you about money..."
"Of course if you insist on talking about money with me, there's nothing I can do about it. ”
This was the first time that Gawain saw a person who could be shameless and at the same time be so righteous...
In the second half of the night, there were finally no visitors. Excuse me.
The row of mouse traps and nails that Gawain placed on the window sill of the study are of no use.
Although these things are useful to those unscientific shadow stalkers. The words were of little use...
The next day, after recharging their energy, Gawain and his party arrived at Silver Castle.
It was still the same inner court official as yesterday. In charge of the reception, Francis II also replicated the grand reception scene yesterday - it can be said that he did a great job in terms of appearance.
And this time, Silver Castle was specially dedicated to it. Two teams of messengers ran out on horseback, patrolling along the two main roads outside the Royal District to clear the way. They used amplification magic to loudly convey that "The Founding Duke of Ansu, Gawain Cecil is about to enter the Silver Castle." The news.
It seems that Prince Edmund has conveyed Gawain's wishes to his father very well, and Francis II has done a good job in front of outsiders.
I just don’t know how the shadow guard responded after he returned - this should be easy to judge after seeing the face of Francis II.
Get your appearance and attire in order and confirm. The Pioneer Sword on his waist was in the most eye-catching position, and Gawain stepped into the Silver Castle with his head held high.
