After watching Rupert Fitz take all precautions, Ljungberg, who was standing by the window, suddenly said: "We hope Mr. Dodd can help us deal with a person."

"Who to deal with? Duke Devin?" Leo looked at everyone coldly and said.

"It would be great if you could kill the Duke." Rupert smiled and said, "It's a pity that you didn't even kill me. It would be difficult to kill Duke Devin. As far as I know, the French royal family

The Black Forest ring has been put on his hand and has responded to the resonance of the divine blood in his body. Unless he stays away from this continent or takes off the ring on his own initiative, it will be very difficult to kill him.

His Royal Highness Prince Philip must be very clear about this."

When he said these words, Rupert deliberately looked at Prince Philip beside him. Although Prince Philip tried his best to hold back the displeasure in his heart at this moment, his face also became a little gloomy.

The reason why this battle for the throne ended so quickly was that it had already come to an end before it officially started. In addition to Duke Devin's resolute character and unscrupulous approach to victory, which were unanimously recognized by the military nobles, what's more

Mostly because of the biggest variable, the Black Forest Ring.

No one thought that the Black Forest Ring would resonate with Duke Devin's bloodline, and no one expected that the Black Forest Ring would have such a great influence. The Black Forest Ring made the territorial nobles who were originally unclear about their attitude overwhelmingly defect to Duke Devin.

Here, even many territorial nobles who had secretly expressed their support for Prince Philip also turned against him.

In the end, even the Royal Guard controlled by Prince Philip finally betrayed him. If he hadn't secretly controlled a team of troops in Donglin City and also controlled a spare Continental train, he might have been with his

Like the brothers, they were placed under house arrest by Duke Devin in the Black Forest Castle. They wore iron masks and could never see the outside world again.

Before leaving Donglin City, the panicked Prince Philip also tried to use the final assassination method to deal with Duke Devin, but in the end he lost all his carefully prepared cards and even implicated his mother clan.

He fled to the Western Continent like a lost dog, which became his biggest heartache.

Seeing Rupert deliberately uncovering Prince Philip's scar, Baron Maupassant frowned and said coldly: "Rupert Fitz, if you really treat your allies like this, we can cancel the previous negotiation results."

By then, Prince Philip and I will be able to live in exile overseas. Although we no longer have power, our overseas properties will be enough for us to live a prosperous life. I just don’t know what the outcome will be for you? Do you think Devin’s character will

Are people like you allowed to continue to exist? Or are you also ready to give up the industry you have worked hard for so many years on the Western Continent and flee overseas? "

Rupert Fitz didn't show any expression on his face. He just remained silent for a moment and said to Prince Philip: "Can all the decisions he makes represent you? His Royal Highness Prince Philip."

"Of course." Prince Philip said without hesitation.

"Okay." Rupert Fitz raised his head, feeling as if he wanted to terminate the cooperation, but the conversation suddenly changed and said: "Let's continue talking about what we just said!"

Rupert Fitz's teasing approach made everyone present very dissatisfied, but they were more thinking about why Rupert Fitz did this. In their opinion, the other party seemed to be harboring suspicion.

What purpose.

For a moment, everyone was speculating about something in their hearts. No one spoke and the room became a little quiet.

However, as a bystander, Leo did not have such complicated thoughts at all. In his opinion, Rupert Fitz was just playing tricks on Prince Philip and Baron Maupassant, without any deep meaning at all.

Leo broke the silence in the room at this time and said in a deep voice: "If you are here to let me watch you argue, I'm sorry, I'm not interested, so please don't waste my time and just say it directly!

"

Everyone present frowned slightly at Leo's unkind language, and then Ljungberg continued: "We hope Mr. Dodd can help us get rid of the commander of the French First Army stationed outside the city.

Jacques Huppert.”

"What can I get?" Leo asked directly without considering the difficulty of the assassination.

"You can win our friendship," said Baron Maupassant.

Leo looked at Baron Maupassant with the eyes of an idiot and said nothing.

Baron Maupassant was so angry that he wanted to rush forward and punch Leo, but he finally endured it and turned to look at the others.

"I can pay four million gold flanges for this." Rupert Fitz directly offered an astonishing price.

Unfortunately, Leo was not moved at all and said coldly: "I'm not short of money."

"We can ensure the safety of your comrades in the Western Continent." Lawrence behind Rupert Fitz said.

Faced with Lawrence's threat, Leo sneered and responded unceremoniously: "If my comrades and friends are injured, no matter what the circumstances are, even if they are injured by themselves, I will count them among you."

Don’t blame me for not notifying you in advance when the time comes.”

After saying that, he suddenly turned to look at Lawrence and said with a smile: "Do you want to take action? Once you do it, there will be no room for return. You have to think clearly."

I saw that Lawrence's hand was covered with a layer of bloodshot eyes at some point.

Seeing this, Ljungberg and Claudia both took two steps back and put a little distance away from Lawrence, while Baron Maupassant took a step forward to protect Prince Philip behind him.

"I'm sorry, my butler is too impulsive and can't listen to any threatening words." At this time, Rupert Fitz stepped into the middle of the confrontation between the two people, easily defused the tense atmosphere, and then walked towards Lei

Ou said: "You have been at Mr. Rembrandt's place for so many days, and you must be interested in the occult books collected by Mr. Rembrandt. I also have a occult book here. I wonder if it can be used as a reward for your hand.

.”

"What book?" Leo asked curiously after relaxing his nerves that were tense because of Lawrence.

"The Book of Night." Rupert Fitz said the title.

When they heard the title of the book, everyone else around them looked confused, obviously they didn't know anything about the book.

However, Leo sounded a bit familiar. After searching the database through the secondary brain system, he quickly got the answer. Then he showed a surprised expression and asked Rupert Fitz to confirm: "The Book of Night you mentioned

But the Night God’s Sigh in Madman’s Thirteen Volumes of Ancient God’s Knowledge?”

Hearing Leo's words, except for Prince Philip, who was not a member of the Dark World and didn't know much about the Dark World, everyone else's expressions changed. They all showed horrified expressions and looked at Rupert Fitz.

It's like looking at a monster.

"Is Night God Sighing in your hand?" Ljungberg couldn't help but feel agitated in his heart. He took two steps forward, stared at Rupert Fitz with a solemn face, and said with great seriousness: "You shouldn't hold it, you

It should be destroyed, it is a disaster!"

"Well! You are right, this source of disaster should indeed be destroyed." Rupert Fitz nodded vigorously, as if he fully agreed with Ljungberg's proposal, and then changed the subject and added: "

Let's do this! Since you said it so righteously, I will send you to the Holy Mountain of the Orthodox Church by airship. Please go and talk to those old men of the Orthodox Church and ask them to destroy the Whisper in the Mist in their hands, and I will destroy mine.

How about the Book of Night in your hand?"

Ljungberg was so ridiculed that he could not speak, and retreated to his companions with a gloomy face.

On the other side, Prince Philip felt something was wrong in the atmosphere, so he asked Baron Maupassant: "Baron, what exactly is the Book of Night?"

Upon hearing this, Baron Maupassant introduced to Prince Philip in a low voice: "In the era when the French Empire was still ruled by three kings, a clever madman appeared among the monks of the Orthodox Church. He used his identity to collect the world's Velen around the world.

The mysteries of the disappeared ancient gods, and compiled them into thirteen books of knowledge about the ancient gods."

"Do those books have any magical power? Just like those magical objects of wizards?" Prince Philip asked curiously, and involuntarily touched several rings on his hand.

"No one knew what power those books had at first, but everyone who read those books went crazy." Baron Maupassant continued, his face became serious, and said: "Later, a crazy monk will

Twelve of the thirteen books of ancient god's knowledge were brought out of the Holy Mountain and spread to various continents in the world of Velen. However, for hundreds of years, there was no news related to these books until the Great Plague, when there were rumors

Said the cause of the plague was caused by one of the books called Death's Kiss."

Hearing this, Prince Philip's face also became serious. Even after hundreds of years, the great plague that almost wiped out all human beings on three continents is still a fear in everyone's heart, and now someone actually owns a book

It has the same origin as the book that created the Great Plague, which forced him to treat this matter with caution.

Prince Philip thought for a while and said: "Mr. Fitz, I think the book in your hand should not be leaked out, but should be given to the Holy Mountain. If you are willing to do this, the terms we negotiated yesterday can be based on your best wishes."

start……"

"Your Highness!" Baron Maupassant immediately stopped him: "If you agree to such conditions, what's the difference between you and being under house arrest in the Black Forest Castle?"

"It doesn't matter." Prince Philip raised his hand to signal Baron Maupassant to stop talking, and then asked Rupert Fitz: "What do you think of such compensation?"

Rupert Fitz said with regret on his face: "To be honest, I really hope to agree to your proposal, Your Highness, but unfortunately you are mistaken. My book is the Book of Night, not the Sigh of the Night God."

"What's going on?" Prince Philip asked puzzled.

"The monk who brought the twelve books of ancient god knowledge down the mountain tried to write down the knowledge he got from the books." Leo answered Prince Philip's doubts at this time, saying: "It's just that he only wrote down

After finishing a book, he went crazy and burned himself as firewood, so there are two copies of Ye Shen Sigh, one is the original Madman version, and the other is the reading version of the Firewood Monk. For some reasons, in

In some rumors, the two versions of the book will be confused, so over time, most people will regard them as the same book."

"The Book of Night is the reading version of the Firewood Monk. It does not have the power of the original version, so there is no need to worry about any disasters coming." Rupert Fitz also added: "If there is any disaster,

If it’s true, this book has been in my hands for more than ten years, why haven’t I been affected by it?”

"That's because you didn't read." Ljungberg said somewhat tit-for-tat.

Rupert Fitz smiled and asked, "How do you know I haven't read that book?"

"Have you read it?" Ljungberg was shocked, looking at Rupert Fitz's expression, and said solemnly.

However, Rupert Fitz had no intention of revealing his true intentions. He ignored Ljungberg, turned to look at Leo, and said, "Mr. Dodd, do you think this reward is enough?"

Leo was silent for a moment and said, "I can't give you an answer until I see the book."

"Of course, no problem." Rupert Fitz was obviously well prepared. As he spoke, he turned his head and nodded to Lawrence beside him.

Lawrence took two steps forward, took off a leather bag from his body, opened it, and took out a metal box that looked like brass but had the wrong weight, and handed it to Leo.

Leo took the box and opened it without thinking too much and looked at it.

I saw a book that looked about as thick as a dictionary and the paper was made of ordinary bark paper lying in the box. On the cover of the book, a large number of strange words covered the surface, as if a psycho had recorded his ravings. Any one

Anyone who sees it will feel inexplicably dizzy.

Others could only obtain the information on the surface of the book through naked eye observation, but Leo was obviously more intuitive, and he saw the essence of the book.

Because the moment the metal box was opened, his spiritual perception immediately felt a chilling spiritual energy emanating from the books and wrapping around his body.

After that, he turned on his spiritual vision, observed the book through his spiritual vision, and saw a vague shadow composed of spiritual energy on the surface of the book. Tentacle-like spiritual energy was extending from the shadow and wrapping around his body.

On the body.

The moment he saw this phantom, he also found that his daily will value was slowly decreasing, just like seeing an Omega-level creature such as a golden giant deer, but the reaction was not that strong, and it would only decrease a little after five or six minutes.

Leo turned off his spiritual vision, closed the metal box again, remained silent for a while, and then said to Rupert Fitz: "I accepted this deal. Now give me the information about the commander of the First Legion, the more detailed it is.

The better.”

Ljungberg said: "You don't need to look at his information. I will invite him to the Miria City Police Headquarters tomorrow to discuss the checkpoints and defense issues in Miria City. You just need to do what you did last time when you assassinated the three brothers.
