Under night, the banquet continued in the open-air square.
Whether it is [Nicos] who is the host or Greed who is the guest, time is passing quickly in the music and programs that have hardly stopped.
It just went on as the banquet gradually took place.
Most of the people who were immersed in the happy atmosphere did not notice that several people had left at the same time at this moment.
Not too far from the banquet venue, a small room has been strictly guarded, and there are spells that prohibit eavesdropping such as spelling abilities to ensure that they are foolproof.
And in this place, an extremely private party has just begun.
Valet Laticia, her princely husband, Ronald and Claudia, and the Holy Priests on the Church, sat in a circle around the table in this small room.
Among them, Claudia spoke first, pointing directly at the prince of [Nicos] Mursoni:
"His Highness Mursoni, you specially invited us guests to come here to talk. There should be something very important to say, right?"
Mursoni is a man who looks about thirty years old. He is strong and in good spirits. As a prince, he always has a cheerful smile on his face, and his affinity is almost exuded from the inside out.
At this moment, as the initiator of the party, Mursoni asked back when facing Claudia's question:
"His Highness Claudia, before the topic officially begins, I would like to take the liberty to ask a question - do you know anything about the former sea city [Latchmont]?"
"Oh?" Claudia just nodded slightly, then responded, "I know it was a city that has been built since the Dark Ages, but unfortunately it seemed to have been destroyed by a disaster hundreds of years ago.
, now almost forgotten."
As soon as Claudia finished speaking, she suddenly realized the purpose of the other party mentioning [Rachmont].
"Wait, I remember that city should be not far from [Nicos]."
"Did you find its trace?"
"Hahaha! It's worthy of being the Princess of Greed. He is indeed quick-thinking and has a wide range of knowledge." Mursoni immediately clapped his hands and praised, "The reason why I want to talk to you in secret is actually because of this."
“…”
At the same time, Ronald, who was also here, had a hint of clarity in his eyes.
He had heard a lot of legends about the city in Capone before, and even the books he brought recorded relevant content, plus the information Luna revealed to herself a day ago...
At this moment, Mursoni informed everyone about the news.
It was just something that should have happened for him, and nothing to be surprised about.
But Mursoni's current confidentiality attitude towards this news has made Ronald's mood even more complicated. Luna will reveal the news to herself yesterday, and the feelings in it are really difficult to deal with...
Ronald himself was struggling with trivial matters and did not join the conversation, but others would not do so. Seeing Claudia and Mursoni reveal the purpose of the conversation, Marda, who is now the Holy Priest, is also
Insert the conversation at this time:
"But Mr. Mursoni, since you have discovered the ruins of [Lachmont], you should firmly block the news in this world situation."
"If I hadn't encountered a special situation, I'm afraid I wouldn't have told us passers-by about this kind of thing, right?"
“…”
"The priest is right."
After Marda spoke, Mursoni was silent for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.
It was then that his wife Leticia spoke on behalf of her husband:
Gu
"Under normal circumstances, this kind of news naturally needs to be strictly blocked."
"But we [Nicos] are different from Gred. We are not afraid of any country in the world, nor are we afraid of any war, and there is no one around us who dares to challenge."
"For us, the changes in the world not only cut off many important connections, but also the blow to us who rely on the canal is also very terrible."
"If you don't find a way to quickly strengthen your strength at this time."
"Then those who are waiting for [Nicos] may not necessarily have a beautiful future like the banquet outside."
Although Marda has only become the Holy Priest, she has a good understanding of the surrounding geography. After Leticia spoke, she understood the helplessness and bitterness of the other party just by thinking about it briefly.
[Nicos] is located at the junction of two continents.
Going up, there are countries with more developed civilizations; going down, they are neighbors who are martial and good at fighting. But [Nicos] himself occupies a canal that can bring huge profits.
In the past, I relied on my own connections with all over the world, [Nicos] could of course rely on my strength to defend everything.
But in this world...
Just as Leticia said, they may start to lose their strength if they lose a lot, and they will always be worried.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room fell down due to the bitterness of Letticia's tone. However, the countess' husband did not remain depressed, but lifted his chest again at this time:
"So the [Latchmont] that appeared at this time became the fastest choice for [Nicos] to enhance its strength. It was just that due to our lack of strength, we have encountered obstacles to entering the ruins."
Speaking of this, Mursoni suddenly stood up.
The tall man walked around to Claudia, then knelt on one knee, and made a request to His Royal Highness, who was in his capacity, which he should never have done to foreigners:
"His Highness Claudia, we know the strength of all the distinguished guests of Gred, and have also heard that you have defeated the wizards who escaped the seal. Compared to our small country and few people, the two are very different."
Faced with the extremely humble actions of the prince, Claudia suddenly put away her smile just now, and her expression became serious in an unprecedented cold tone:
"His Highness Mursoni, are you planning to ask us for help?"
Mursoni lowered his head even more at Claudia and continued without hesitation:
"His Highness Claudia, [Nicos] has always had a good relationship with [Greed], and I hope to maintain such a relationship in the future!"
Letticia also came over and lowered her head to Claudia:
"Your Highness, please also ask you."
“…”
After the couple finished talking, Claudia's expression was as cold as before.
But as time went by, the princess's eyes finally eased:
"Okay, I probably know the situation, but that's the end of this discussion tonight."
"Tomorrow morning, you will send someone to the port ship, and we will continue to talk later."
As he finished speaking, Claudia stood up from the chair.
Then he took Marda and Ronald straight away from the house:
"Ronard, Marda, let's go, everyone at the banquet is still waiting for us to go back."
