Mystery: Start with the Reader

After listening to Owen's description of the "inside story" of the Trier incident, George III pondered again for a moment, then nodded and said:

"So, the Delien family is almost wiped out, and it is indeed the responsibility of those witches..."

He was actually very heartbroken about this. After all, there were many insiders cultivated by the Kingdom of Loen in the Delien family. As a result, they all lost contact during this incident.

But His Majesty the King changed the topic and said after careful consideration: "However, I still think you should release the 'Red Witch' and the 'Yellow Witch'... Well, in view of the loss of the Delien family, I will give it to you. Some compensation.”

After speaking, he showed his "majestic" posture and told the other party that this decision could not be rejected.

And because of the fact that nearly half of the top leaders of the "Witch Sect" are named "Brain", it actually doesn't matter to Abner whether to let them go or not. He emphasizes the loss because he just wants some benefits, so he is pretending to be "unwilling" After that, he followed the king's words and said:

"Okay...but I want a ransom of 2 million gold pounds!"

George III was a little stunned when he heard this. Based on his understanding of Owen, he was prepared for the other party to ask for a "game" with "Duchess Georgina" or "Backlund's most dazzling gem". How could he have expected that? The other party actually wants money?

But when I thought about it again, I felt that it was normal. Hundreds of years of accumulation of the Delien family had been destroyed in one fell swoop. If Owen wanted to revive the family, he really needed a large amount of funds.

But is two million pounds too much? Are two "Eternal Witches" worth the price? After all, the "Mysterious Queen" who is also a Sequence 3 has a bounty of only 650,000 pounds in Loen.

Even if the money is finally paid by the "Witch Sect", it will definitely have to be advanced by the Augustus family first...

As a king, although he does not lack this little money, he cannot be regarded as a "fool" who can withdraw money at will.

While his thoughts were spinning, George III tentatively negotiated the price: "Two million pounds is too much. What do you think of 1.5 million?"

"Deal!" Abner replied without any hesitation.

Anyway, the money was for nothing, even though it was only half the price of his "Viscount Beldan".

"..." George III felt for a moment that he might have been cheated, but he quickly came to his senses and felt that it would be good to use more than one million gold pounds to satisfy all parties and solve this difficult matter, so he Without saying more about the ransom, he asked: "How do you know His Highness Zarath?"

Abner pondered for a moment before answering the question: "The vice-president of the Secret Order is also a beautiful lady."

George III suddenly felt enlightened and filled his mind with many stories.

Next, after chatting with Owen about the political situation in Trier and subsequent plans, Vera, who had been standing by as if she were a puppet, took Owen out of Thordrak Palace.

After their figures disappeared in this remote room, George III turned his head, as if talking to himself or asking: "My ancestors, what do you think?"

"Owen's blood is still in my 'order', and he can obey orders at any time." A cold and emotionless voice came from the shadows behind the throne.

"That's good..." George III nodded. As long as Irving is still under control, there is no need to worry about his little intentions.

"Do you think I should agree to Zaratul's alliance request?" George III asked again.

"Amon does need to be on guard. Zaratul is right about this... In a sense, the 'Black Emperor' is the best choice besides the 'divineer' and the 'apprentice' to steal the ritual of becoming a god." The emotionless voice sounded again.

"That means you are inclined to form an alliance with Zarath?" George III did not ask why. His ancestors did not tell him, so he naturally had his reasons.

"You can also form an alliance with 'Abraham'... But no matter who they are, they are Amon's enemies." The cold voice reminded him again:

"However, do not expose the location of the tomb before they sign the contract under my witness."

"I understand!" George III nodded slightly. He was also inclined to form an alliance.

For some reason, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart. He originally thought it was the pressure from his sister, but when Vera was "conquered" by Owen, this uneasiness did not disappear...

Therefore, George III hoped that more angels would stand on his side to avoid any surprises during the "Black Emperor's" final ceremony.

Of course, the details of the alliance must be agreed upon by other members of the Augustus family, so it will take some time...

…

After riding the carriage back to her mansion with Abner, Vera glanced in the direction of Thordrak Palace, sneered and shook her head:

"You can't make your own decisions about alliance matters... Is this like the 'Black Emperor'?"

Abner, who heard her murmur, smiled and said: "Times have changed, and the current king does not have that much power."

"But whether you are a 'Judge' or a 'Black Emperor', you must implement your own will... The symbol of the 'Emperor' is not just about getting a crown of the 'Bayram Empire'..." Vera said again Shaking her head, she expressed her disapproval of George III, "Even if he succeeds by luck in the end, his condition will definitely not be very good."

Although Abner agreed with her words, he felt there was no need to think so much because he didn't think George III could survive to the end.

After all, compared to Klein in the original work, the power he can mobilize is much stronger!

If "Zarath" is placed in the mausoleum, and the "Witch" is used as an internal agent, does George III want to be promoted to "Black Emperor"? Go ahead and dream!

If he didn't want Xio to grow up and avenge her father with his own hands, and if he wasn't sure where George III's true form was, the power Abner could muster now would probably severely injure him.

After all, George III, an extraordinary person who had not experienced much combat, even if his status was high enough, his combat power was actually relatively poor... This can be seen in his response to Triss in the original work.

At this time, Princess Vera changed her "face" again. Different from her usual majesty, dullness in front of George III, and the appearance of a little girl just now, she came to Abner's ear very ambiguously and said: " I’m going to take a shower first…do you want to come with me?”

Does the "mist of uncertainty" mean that even the personality is "uncertain" and "changeable"? Abner came to his senses and sternly refused again.

After Vera turned around and walked into the bathroom, he immediately put the "Owen" clone into "Alvin's Answer Maze" and let the body that had finished the work be teleported back from Trier.
