Chapter 3621 Value

Before leaving, I had a meal with Heloise.

This time, her followers did not come. I asked her curiously, when were those followers subdued?

Heloise told me that those two people were sent by her father to protect her.

After hearing this, I was very confused. Wasn't Heloise not favored by her father?

Why did her father send people to protect her personally?

I became even more curious about this and put forward my own opinion: Did your father send them here to protect you, to spy on you, or to find an opportunity to kill you?

My words made Heloise laugh. She told me that the third possibility did not exist. This did not mean that his father was reluctant to part with it, but it was meaningless and would make him lose his absolute prestige in the Oathkeepers. .

After all, how can a guy who can't even tolerate his own family be qualified for the position of supreme leader?

While eating a pizza covered with a thick layer of cheese, Heloise said that the reason why she sent two people as followers was to monitor her on the one hand, but also to protect her on the other. .

At this point, she sighed in a mysterious way, and then fell silent. The meaning is self-evident, and I hope I can appreciate it from the side.

With a chuckle, I asked, why should I protect her?

Heloise sighed and said that her stupid brother thought that her participation in the war was trying to win over people's hearts and wanted to take the opportunity to compete with him for the position of the next leader. In order to maintain her position, she stupidly The younger brother decided to take the opportunity to eradicate her to avoid future troubles.

I asked Heloise, where did you get this information?

Heloise told me that this was all told to her by an informant she had placed in her brother's camp.

I have to say, her brother's intuition is really accurate.

Moreover, all internal fights between family members vying for power in the world use the same methods.

I spread my hands to show my sympathy.

Heloise vaguely hoped that I would come forward to help her, but I refused.

In any case, the Oathkeepers organization is one of the top organizations in the demon world. Once they are involved, there will be a lot of trouble.

I'm not afraid of trouble, but I don't want to cause trouble.

"Although it may be a bit irresponsible to say this, I have to admit that Xi Lan is quite reliable in many cases."

"Huh?" Heloise blinked: "What do you mean by that?"

"I know you have understood." I smiled and said, "You can actually trust Xi Lan. Even though he is unreliable sometimes, he is still a very solid backer in many cases."

Heloise sighed with regret after hearing this.

After leaving the Demon Realm and returning to the Zephyr Continent, I first went to the secret room of the palace and found Fred Alexander.

He still exists as a soul, but through the blessing of simple formations composed of some ancient characters, he can now show up in a physical state, and can also read and even taste food, but he has not been able to find a way to construct a sense of taste. Ancient texts could not restore his sense of taste.

But for Alexander, this is the best result.

Before that, he even thought that he might be squeezed by the person who dug him out, and then because his energy was exhausted, he would disappear from this world and return to the embrace of the God of Creation.

The unexpected good situation made him feel happy. Naturally, he had a big smile on his face when he faced me.

When I asked about the intelligence of the Pelos Empire, Alexander answered my question after careful consideration.

He told me about the history of the Pelos Empire, and also mentioned the deeds of the legendary general Kazan and the protector magician Ozma, praising them as the pillars of a stable country and the cornerstone of the country's unification. It's a pity that they are the pillars of the country's stability. , the two were jealous of the monarch, and their rising national status aroused the monarch's sense of crisis, causing them to be imprisoned. In the end, one family was ruined, and the other's fiancée was taken by the monarch.

When he said this, Alexander showed a teasing expression. He believed that the reason why the monarch of the Peruvian Empire imprisoned Ozma also implied that the monarch was so lustful that he would not have robbed his fiancée. This behavior was not only Corruption in a moral sense will also damage the destiny of the country.

Otherwise, the Peruvian Empire would not have declined rapidly in just a few decades, and fell apart a hundred years later, turning from a powerful country into a bunch of scattered small countries.

However, it is said that the emperor who was lustful and stupid was very good at enjoying life, and even the tomb was built more luxuriously than other ancestors, and there were countless treasures piled inside, which made many tomb robbers covet him.

Of course, not only the tomb robbers, but also the goblin royal family and the elven royal family are attracted by this legend.

Even Alexander dispatched hundreds of expedition teams called archaeologists, but in fact engaged in tomb robbing, to inspect the ruins of the Peruvian Empire.

However, the rewards were meager.

In addition to gold and silver treasures, there are only a few jade and beads left, and not even a piece of valuable equipment or weapons.

For a monarch who is not short of money, no matter how much gold, silver, jewelry, jade and equipment are just the icing on the cake.

What he needs is something that can strengthen his army, such as magic weapons and magic equipment. Of course, it would be best if it can be magical. To say the least, there are no artifacts, no magic weapons, and magic equipment. Enchanted weapons and enchanted equipment are also available.

It's a pity that they don't even have a broken enchanted weapon or equipment.

Therefore, when talking about the ruins and treasures of the Peruvian Empire, Alexander showed a dismissive attitude throughout.

At this time, I took out a map, showed it to him, and said, "Look at this map. Did your inspection team have any activities around this mausoleum?"

After taking the map, Alexander looked at it carefully for a long time before saying: "Some of them have been explored, some of them have not."

"Please use a pen to circle those that have not been explored, okay?"

Alexander did not refuse, took the pen, and while drawing, asked: "Where did you get this map?"

"Given it to me by a guy who was barely a friend."

"To be able to give you such a map, either the other party sincerely wants to make friends with you, or they have the idea of ​​​​killing you, or there is some purpose that no one else can complete but only you can complete."

"The idea of ​​killing me shouldn't come up." I shook my head and said, "The idea of ​​wanting to make friends may not be true, but the third situation is real. Yes, the other party wants something inside, and they are two different things. .”

"If there are only two things, I think the value of these two things must be very high, even more than the total value of all other treasures in the entire tomb."

I held my chin and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Maybe you are right. To him, the value of those two items is indeed so high."
