Judging from what the great elder meant, the difference in time between the establishment of the Kingdom of Kelan and the Kingdom of Shengrui should not exceed 100 years. However, according to historical records of the Kingdom of Kelan, the Kingdom of Kelan ended more than a thousand years after the Battle of Breer.
It was established after 2000, but the history books clearly record that the Battle of Breer started in the autumn of 2000 in the Canghuang Period and ended in the spring of 2002 in the Canghuang Period. The time difference in between was really huge.
"I would like to ask this great elder, can you tell me the exact time in Xiakelan Kingdom City?" Zeng Jun asked.
"In the year 3045 of the Canghuang Period, this should be recorded in your history books. Don't you cultivators care about history?" The other party was confused by Zeng Jun's question again.
"Then it's strange. Why was the Kingdom of Kelan established 999 years later than the Kingdom of Shengrui, but it has been passed down for twelve generations now?"
"Haha, it turns out that this is what you are struggling with. I think you are mistaken. The time when the Klan Kingdom was established is indeed 3045, yes, but long before the establishment of the Klan Kingdom, in 2003, the Klan mercenary group
Emperor Fabia I established the Fabia Empire, the predecessor of the Kingdom of Kelan. At that time, the territory of the Fabia Empire was only half of the current Kingdom of Kelan. Later, it gradually recovered the entire territory of the former Westriel Empire.
It was only after the territory was officially renamed the Kingdom of Kelan." The great elder explained just now.
Before the Klan Kingdom, there was another country, the Fabia Empire, controlled by the Klan mercenary group, and this country has existed for more than a thousand years. According to the theory, the existence of the Fabia Empire also belongs to the Klan mercenary group and the Fabia Empire.
It is a symbol of the honor of the Fabia family, but why did the history books of the Kelan Kingdom deliberately ignore this period of history? And if what the great elder of the Shengrui Kingdom said is true, then wouldn’t it be true that the Fabia Empire was in a state of decline after the Battle of Brel?
A new regime was established in just about a year.
This does not seem to be consistent with common sense. Logically speaking, after a large-scale war is over, all warring parties must be severely damaged. It will be difficult to recover without recuperation for more than ten or twenty years. And before the vitality is restored, it will generally not explode again on a large scale.
war, but the Klan mercenary group was able to uncharacteristically recapture part of Westriel's territory after a year. After such analysis, Zeng Jun immediately felt that there must be something fishy in this.
"Excuse me, respected Elder Murphy, did the Klan mercenary group participate in the battle of Breer at that time?" Zeng Jun continued to ask. If the Klan mercenary group participated in that battle at that time, then in any case
It doesn’t make sense. If you didn’t participate, the reasons are worth investigating.
"It is said that they participated, but we don't know the details. At that time, the entire Luming Empire was fighting hard against another undead army from hell. Therefore, except for the great swordsman Gru, no one else went to the battlefield because he had to perform other tasks.
Go, so there is a lack of first-hand information about that war in our database. All the introductions about that war in the royal library inherited by the Shengrui Kingdom from the Luming Empire are compiled with reference to the history books of other countries.
, we don’t know how much of it is true, but the time when the war broke out and ended should not be wrong." Elder Murphy replied.
"Dear adventurer, you seem to have a lot of questions. Can we stop talking about these irrelevant questions? We invite you here because of the relics left by the great swordsman Gru. I think you should know this."
After waiting for so long, Zeng Jun still had no intention of getting into the topic. Luther XI finally lost his temper. In fact, he did not know that Zeng Jun had already gotten into the topic from the moment he came in.
"Okay, who can tell me the reason why Great Swordsman Gru went to Blair alone?" Zeng Jun asked.
"This, I think Marquis Habol has told you just now. This is a national secret of the Shengrui Kingdom and we are not in a position to disclose it." Luther XI replied.
"Then, why do you come to me to talk? My time is precious. If you are not sincere, let me go as soon as possible, otherwise the Lord God will not forgive you for privately imprisoning a law-abiding citizen." In order to escape, Zeng Jun moved the Lord God out.
Already.
"Young man, don't say that. When did we imprison you? Don't you think you are very free now? We only invited you here to negotiate a deal with you." Luther XI said.
Zeng Jun said impatiently: "I have already said that unless you tell me the reason why Gru went to Brel, there will be no deal between us."
"This is absolutely not possible. Apart from this, we can agree to any conditions you propose." Luther XI said.
"Okay, if you can give me 5 billion gold coins, I can consider giving you Gru's things." Zeng Jun said loudly.
"This is impossible! According to the Lord God's regulations, I can give you up to 50,000 gold coins, and no more." Luther XI almost jumped up from the throne.
"Let me ask you a question. You said it's a state secret and you can't answer it. When I asked you for money, you said God doesn't allow it. So what can you give us?"
An adventurer talked to the king in such a arrogant manner. Luther XI was well-mannered and did not show any displeasure, but the ten elders beside him and the swordsman who brought Zeng Jun in had already had their noses crooked with anger.
, but now that they have something to ask for from Zeng Jun, they can only endure it.
"In addition to the relics of Great Sword Master Gru, we also want to know some information related to it. Of course, if you are willing to cooperate with us, I will give you a reward equal to the value of what you provided. As for the specific reward,
I'm not sure yet, it depends on the value of the other information you provide." Luther XI said with a kind expression.
"You are cheating on me. If you don't give me a reward after I hand over everything to you and tell you everything you want to know, will I bite you?" Zeng Jun felt cheated as soon as he heard the conditions proposed by the other party.
Luther XI shook his head and said: "The Lord God will not allow us to deceive any adventurer."
The Lord God mentioned by Luther XI should refer to the pale server. Zeng Jun also thought about the same reason. The server master should not encourage NPCs to deceive players. Otherwise, the whole world is full of deception, so everyone should stop playing.
"Tell me, what do you want to know?" Zeng Jun asked expressionlessly.
"We need to know the process of how you obtained that shield and that armor. The more detailed the process, the better, because it will be related to the richness of your final reward." Luther XI followed suit.
Zeng Jun then explained how to find a piece of Gru's finger bone to lead to Gru's last wish mission. In the process of completing the mission, he obtained another mission item, Susanna's thoughts. Finally, under the guidance of Susanna's thoughts, he overcame many difficulties and found the missing character step by step.
Lu told the story of Gru's shield, and his description was so emotional that everyone in the meeting hall was shocked. Finally, it was mentioned that Gru's breastplate was snatched from other adventurers. Luther XI
The ten elders of Shihe were obviously disappointed, but judging from their subsequent reactions, it seemed that the information provided by Zeng Jun was very helpful to them.
"It's strange. Ordinarily, with the strength of Great Sword Master Gru back then, unless he encountered an expert at the level of the Undead Emperor after entering Spadewood, he should be able to retreat even if he was defeated. At that time, it was said that several undead emperors were there.
In the Breer Prairie, who else besides them has the ability to kill Mr. Gru and resurrect him as an undead?" After listening to Zeng Jun's statement, one of the elders said to himself.
"Dear adventurer, can you show me that shield?" Elder Murphy asked.
"No." Zeng Jun suddenly felt that these people were eager to find Gru's relics because they were afraid of leaving any evidence of collusion with the undead, and were eager to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces, so he rejected the other party's request.
"So, can you tell me what's special about that shield?"
Zeng Jun thought to himself, it doesn't matter if I tell you. Maybe I can take the opportunity to ask for more rewards if you get anxious. If the system master is watching, you won't kill me too? So he replied: "There is something on the back of the shield.
One line: It’s him, why?”
"Who is he?" several people, including Luther XI, asked in unison.
Zeng Jun stuck out his tongue: "How do I know? If I knew, I would still use it to beg you."
However, the other party's question overturned Zeng Jun's previous guess. Gru probably did not go to the Netherworld Abyss with the messenger to contact the undead high-level people and secretly cooperate with each other. Otherwise, after knowing the location of the incident, they would not be able to guess who the murderer is.
"Could it be that some of the rumors that the Luming Empire received back then are true?" One of the elders said to himself.
"The rumor of the divine horse?" Zeng Jun rushed to the elder and asked eagerly.
The elder realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly denied that he had just said such a thing.
The ruler of the Shengrui Kingdom refused to tell Gru the reason for going to Brel, while Zeng Jun refused to hand over Gru's shield and breastplate to the other side, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
Half an hour later, a system ringtone came - "Ding~!"
System prompt: Because you insist on not handing over the mission items to the ruler of the Shengrui Kingdom, you can only get 25% of the reward. Then an options dialog box appeared in front of Zeng Jun, with the rewards available for selection than in the book.
At the gym, what Haboer gave was even worse. The secrets of knighthood and the skill upgrade book were gone. After some struggle, Zeng Jun chose a top-notch pet that has always been a human shield for Zhuyang - the earth-level boss pet panda.
Baby, a pet with growth-type energy and blood defense, comes with a [Blood Sacrifice] skill. It loses half of its energy and blood to restore the same amount of magic value to its owner.
As compensation, all team members who participated in the mission, including Zeng Jun and Binglan, received a certain amount of experience and reputation rewards based on their contribution to the mission. After automatically receiving the experience reward, Zeng Jun was promoted to level 99.
The desire to save experience to upgrade professional levels was once again frustrated.
"Why, the mission has been completed like this, how come the reward experience is so little, not even half an item?" Binglan and others obviously also received the experience reward at the same time, and sent a message to Zeng Jun in surprise.
Just when Zeng Jun was upset that the rewards he had received were significantly reduced, he did not know that because of his persistence, he had virtually avoided a regime change in Tongtian City.
