Through this period of getting along, the nobles of the two countries learned that Philip was a particularly successful businessman and his family had a lot of property.
When the coalition forces captured the city, Philip was the first to surrender.
Philip has been entertaining them for so many days, trying his best to satisfy them no matter what kind of request they have.
Therefore, Philip's property was not ransacked like other local nobles, and his property was well preserved.
They wanted to see what kind of treasure this wealthy businessman could come up with.
I saw Philip taking out a small purple box from his sleeve. It had strange scale-like patterns on it and exuded a delicate fragrance.
"Crack!"
The box was opened, and lying quietly on the beige velvet was a black ball the size of a fist, with an uneven surface and a faint magical light flashing inside.
"This is..." Andel's breathing became rapid. He vaguely guessed it, but did not dare to confirm it.
"The dragon core of the sixth-order evil dragon."
The faint voice exploded in the crowd like thunder.
"Oh my god, it's actually a dragon core."
"Sixth level, worth tens of thousands of gold coins."
Everyone present had fiery eyes and greedy expressions.
Even for the Count Viscount, fifty or sixty thousand gold coins is a coveted amount.
"Very good!" Andel accepted the dragon core with satisfaction and put it into the space ring. "After this development order, you can come with me."
Phillip suddenly smiled: "Thank you, sir!"
Everyone knows that Philip will become famous in the future.
Vernon's hands hidden under the table were already clenched, and he was almost mad with jealousy. The other two earls also had the same expression.
The three of them looked at each other and finally made a decision.
Vernon looked at Chris and winked at him.
Chris smiled knowingly and put his hand under the table as if he was doing something. After a while, he picked up the wine glass and walked towards Andel.
"Lord Andel," Chris said loudly, "I have offended the knights of your country a lot in the past few days. I hope you can ignore the faults of villains and allow me to toast you."
"Yes, yes." Philip pulled Chris over, "Horton is a seventeen-year-old third-level knight. He will definitely have a bright future in the future. I hope you can take care of him more."
Ander was very proud of himself and said with a smile: "It's easy to talk about."
Chris raised his glass and touched it with Andel, flicked his middle finger slightly, and put a few drops of liquid into Andel's glass.
No one noticed this tiny movement.
The three Vernons stared at all this intently, and then under their expectant gazes, Andel drank the wine in one gulp.
The banquet continued, and the knights of the two countries exchanged cups.
But Vernon and the others were sitting quietly, waiting for something to happen.
Finally, at a certain moment, Andel's body straightened up, purple-black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he fell backwards.
Uninformed people screamed, and the place instantly became chaotic.
Vernon's eyes widened and he pointed at Chris: "How brave! You must have a grudge against Lord Andel, so you poisoned him!"
After saying that, Vernon took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Chris.
It turned out that he had already prepared.
A look of panic appeared on Chris's face, and he quickly rolled to the side several times to avoid Vernon's attack.
The fifth-level knight was a little surprised. He didn't expect that boy to be so flexible. He had to move faster. If he told the truth, he would be in big trouble.
Vernon continued to chase Chris, while the others stared blankly at the scene, not daring to step forward.
But at this moment, an earth wall suddenly blocked the middle of the two of them.
Vernon turned around suddenly, just in time to see Andel slowly sitting up with his wand in hand.
"You didn't poison him?" Vernon looked at Chris and yelled angrily.
He knew very well the overbearing power of that kind of poison. As long as he got a little bit of it, there would be no chance of saving his life.
"Of course." Chris smiled lightly, "Not only did he not poison him, but he also told him about how you taught me how to poison Lord Andel."
Vernon gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you betray me!"
"Hey, please don't talk nonsense." Chris rolled his eyes, "I have never been loyal to you, so why should I betray you?"
"Besides, if I do such a dirty thing for you, I have to be careful about being used as a scapegoat and killed. And if I tell Lord Andel, even if he doesn't reward me, he won't take my life.
Normal people know how to choose."
"Besides, if I help you, wouldn't my uncle's sixth-level dragon core be given away in vain?"
Vernon was shaking with anger. He didn't expect that he would be tricked by a teenager today.
In the distance, Andel said sarcastically: "You can come up with such a bad idea of using poison to murder the magician. Even if no one informs you, I can see through it at a glance."
"Clang, clang, clang!" All members of the Shadow Leopard Kingdom took out portable daggers from their sleeves.
"No, run!" Vernon and others knew they had been fooled and wanted to escape.
"Want to run?" Andel's eyes flashed slightly, "From the moment you tried to kill me, I was already a dead person."
He pointed his wand forward, and earth-yellow magic power spurted out.
In an instant, a huge circular earth wall rose from the ground, surrounding the entire courtyard, turning it into a prison.
The atmosphere between the two sides was tense.
The eyes of the three Vernons were full of despair. Even if they all joined forces, they would never be able to defeat Andel, not to mention that there were an equal number of knights in the Shadow Leopard Kingdom.
The nobles of the White Tiger Kingdom complained: "Who allowed you to make your own decisions? We are all implicated."
"Lord Andel, this matter has nothing to do with me. I have no knowledge of it at all. Sir, you have to believe me."
"Please, spare our lives."
Chris quietly hid behind Philip, and his goal had been achieved, bringing the top combat forces of the two countries to the opposite side.
"Ha, do you think I will believe it?" Andel laughed wildly, the top of the wand lit up with an earthy yellow light, and was about to release magic.
"Poof!" An unexpected scene happened. A knight from the Shadow Leopard Kingdom stabbed Andel in the chest with a dagger.
Fortunately, Andel reacted in time and avoided the heart attack, but the magician was still seriously injured.
He struck out the magic he had accumulated in his hand, and the knight was instantly pierced by five or six stone cones and fell to the side silently.
Andel staggered two steps, blood dripping down his robe. He pointed at Vernon and cursed angrily: "You damn thing, you actually arranged spies among my men!"
Vernon was stunned, I really didn't do this.
Vernon looked at the other two earls and found that they had the same expression.
