Chapter 1,317: Meeting the Grand Duke and a verbal confrontation
Successfully captured Aaron Rudy and Ernie Edwards.
Archduke Jonathan is full of confidence in the future.
When those arrogant chosen ones crawled at his feet.
He then understood that he had opened a new door.
Now the damn Archbishop of the Calamity Raven Church and Carter are trying to blackmail him.
This amused Archduke Jonathan.
He wanted to see when he showed that he didn't care about Carter.
What kind of expression will the other party show?
If the other party's demands were not excessive, he wouldn't mind paying a certain price in exchange for Carter.
If those damn heretic lions open their mouths, then Archduke Jonathan will have no choice but to make the decision to give up on Carter.
The bishop of the Calamity Raven Church who came will be buried with Carter.
Thinking about it like this, his heart became a little eager.
After Aaron Rudy and Ernie Edwards were temporarily taken to other camps to wait.
He just sat on the chair, with the guards in front of him surrounding him.
Various types of defensive jewelry are also activated.
Prevent people from the Calamity Raven Church from plotting against him.
He learned a lot from mistakes, and he became very cautious after almost overturning his car before.
About seven or eight minutes later.
The sound of galloping horses could be heard outside the camp.
Mai Raven and Zong Shen, disguised as followers, rode their horses to the camp surrounded by a large group of high-ranking Avalon Knights cavalry.
Prince Carter was being carried on Zong Shen's shoulders and was in a state of hallucination.
No matter how bumpy it was, there was no sign of waking up.
He still wore the same armor he wore when he was captured.
When they arrived outside the camp, everyone reined in their horses and stopped.
The high-ranking knights also raised their swords and surrounded them cautiously.
In this regard, Mai Raven remained calm and calm, and he turned over and dismounted.
Zong Shen carried Carter and jumped off the horse lightly.
To them stirrups are superfluous.
"Still not giving way?"
Looking at the Avalon knights blocking the front with wary eyes.
Mai Raven frowned and scolded sharply.
"Let them in."
At this time, Grand Duke Jonathan's voice came from inside the tent.
Hearing this, the knights immediately gave way.
Mai Raven shook off the red cloak behind him and stepped forward proudly.
When he puts on airs, he really has the power of a powerful man.
Zong followed behind without saying a word.
Prince Carter, who was carried on his shoulders, swayed as he walked.
When you open the thick curtains of the tent, a warm breeze blows in your face.
It's much warmer in there than outside.
Archduke Jonathan was protected by several dragon wizards and elite henchmen wearing gold-patterned armor.
He was sitting on a large chair more than ten meters away from the entrance of the camp.
When he saw the two of them entering the camp, his expression immediately became grim.
He still has a trace of hatred for the Calamity Raven Church.
Because the other party dared to attack the giant city of Lentax without authorization, this only caused him a lot of troubles.
Moreover, he had previously tried to conquer the Calamity Raven Church and successfully reached a preliminary consensus.
At that time, Archduke Jonathan originally used the giant city of Lentax as a bargaining chip in exchange for the support of the Calamity Raven Church.
But I didn't expect that this matter would eventually go wrong.
He still doesn't quite understand the role Prince Carter played in it.
Therefore, in his opinion, the Calamity Raven Church is a pure treacherous person.
If it goes according to the agreement, he actually doesn't mind handing over the giant city of Lentax to the church.
Anyway, the Lancaster family was not very obedient.
But he giving it and the church taking it yourself are completely different things.
But then again, if it weren't for the matter of the giant city of Lentax.
It is impossible for him to get the chance to awaken and completely get rid of the shackles of his Aboriginal identity.
Thinking of this, Grand Duke Jonathan's mentality became much calmer again.
He had met Mai Yi, but during the previous negotiation, it was the old bishop Byron who came to meet him.
Neither of the two parties spoke first.
Grand Duke Jonathan looked at Mai Raven with evil eyes, and then looked at Carter who was being carried on his shoulders.
As for Zong Shen, who tried his best to restrain his aura and pretended to be a follower, he temporarily ignored him.
The silence lasted for more than half a minute. Mai Raven followed Zong Shen's instructions and remained calm and quiet.
"snort!"
"I remember you, the red-robed bishop of the Calamity Raven Church."
"Your name is Mai Raven."
"Where's Byron?"
"Why doesn't he come? Is he so afraid of death?"
Grand Duke Jonathan snorted coldly, still feeling a little unhappy in his heart.
Regarding the fall of the giant city of Lentax, he did not witness the most exciting scene.
I don’t know how powerful the projection of God with the Frost Bone Dragon as its carrier is.
Although the scouts afterward brought him photos of the ruined and frozen city, he thought it was the effect of some kind of sacrificial magic.
Upon hearing his words, Mai Yi suddenly turned cold.
"Archbishop Byron has followed in God's footsteps."
"Now I am the Archbishop."
"Let's talk about Prince Carter's problem."
"I think His Excellency the Grand Duke is definitely willing to pay some insignificant price in exchange for His Highness the Prince."
Mai Raven took a step forward and said in a cold tone.,
As soon as these words came out, Grand Duke Jonathan couldn't sit still.
"What a loud tone."
"So what if I don't care about Carter?"
"You will all die here!"
Grand Duke Jonathan said fiercely, and the next moment, the surrounding fur tents were lifted open.
A dozen legendary strong men jumped in.
Among them was a guy surrounded by water elements.
She has blue-white hair and floats about 30 centimeters above the ground.
The whole body seems to be surrounded by water waves all the time.
There is an aura of a demigod-level powerhouse about her.
This made Mai Raven feel a chill in her heart.
Zong Shen looked around and didn't say much. He just held Prince Carter with one hand and took out the [Azzinoth Demon-Slaying Warblade (Gold)] with the other hand.
Seeing this situation, Mai Raven suddenly knew something.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He tried his best to sneer in a calm tone.
"Think about it, Prince Carter will definitely die before you take action."
"And even if I die, the church can quickly elect a new bishop."
"With the giant city of Lentax as the capital, the church's apostolic group will soon expand to more than five million."
"At that time, we will join any force that opposes you."
On the way here, Zong Shen discussed with him the possible situations he might encounter.
Among them is that Archduke Jonathan gave up on Carter and chose to fight head-on.
Zong Shen, who knew that Prince Carter and Jonathan were related by blood, planned to squeeze that guy's fatherly love as much as possible, and if that didn't work, he would resort to other means.
Seeing Prince Carter being held to the neck with a sharp knife, Grand Duke Jonathan's face still showed some emotion.
Although he was a little drifting after waking up.
But Prince Carter is his own flesh and blood after all, and although Carter is useless, he still has the status of a prince. Using him as a shield, many troubles can be easily solved.
If he came out on his own and said he wanted to become king, he would probably face resistance from the same enemies.
Thinking of this, Archduke Jonathan's murderous intention was relieved a lot.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the two of them.
"Okay, let's talk about the conditions."
He tapped his knuckles lightly on the table and said with a stern expression.
Mai Raven breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Even if his eyesight is not as good as Zong Shen's, he can still tell that the person surrounded by water elements must be a strong guard-level person, and he is also from the elemental spellcasting system.
Even with Zong's repeated assurances, he still couldn't help but feel terrified when facing a strong man of this level.
Without thinking too much, Mai Raven bravely raised a finger.
"A huge city."
“A very good deal.”
"He is the second prince of the kingdom. This is something we witnessed together in front of the ancestral hall."
Grand Duke Jonathan tilted his head and suddenly laughed mockingly.
"The former Carter was worth five giant cities in my heart."
"The current Carter is not worth even one."
"I know what kind of kid he is. Just a name can't change Jucheng."
His words made Mai Raven suddenly feel a chill in his heart.
Just when he was thinking about how to answer.
Zong Shen, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, and the first words he said made everyone at the scene freeze.
"Is Your Excellency the Duke willing to watch his own flesh and blood and that of the Queen die like this?"
"Even if your Excellency has many heirs, Carter should still be the only one with the blood of the legitimate king."
When Zong Shen spoke, he deliberately adjusted his vocal cords, making his voice particularly hoarse and obscure.
This matter is an absolute secret, and there are no more than five people in the entire continent who know about it.
Even the confidants around Archduke Jonathan don’t know.,
Therefore, this news instantly triggered their attention.
Even the mysterious water element guardian's vague face hidden in the water element showed a look of surprise.
The scene fell silent.
Archduke Jonathan suddenly stood up from his chair.
A pair of shining eyes stared at Zong Shen.
"you…"
Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.
Because he saw information belonging to the lord on Zong Shen.
"Are you a lord?"
"Rosen?"
It can be seen that his observation authority is similar to that of ordinary lords.
Only simple information including name and number can be seen.
So it was just right for Zong Shen to disguise himself through the strategy module in advance.
"interesting."
"It seems that His Excellency the Grand Duke has also had an adventure."
The identity of the other party was revealed in one word, but the guy in front of him was not as frightened as Aaron Rudy and Ernie Edwards. Instead, he was somewhat confident.
This was far beyond Grand Duke Jonathan's expectations.
"How about it? Your Excellency, would you like to have a good chat or do something about it?"
"I can guarantee that that lovely water demigod can't do anything to me."
Zong Shen spoke again, his words filled with strong confidence.
Such a performance made Grand Duke Jonathan murmur in his heart.
The self-confidence that had just risen was suppressed again.
The guy named Rosen in front of him is obviously different from Aaron Rudy and Ernie Edwards.
Especially the strong confidence hidden in the words made him feel a little uneasy.
He can tell whether a person is lying by the tone of his voice.
The other party's strong self-confidence is definitely not without reason.
And as a lord, the fact that he was mixed up with Mai Raven was enough to show that it was not simple.
At the same time, he thought of another possibility.
"Is Mai Raven also awakening?"
This incident left a knot in his throat.
Assuming Mai Raven really awakens, his pride will be shattered immediately.
But he didn't know that Mai Raven had indeed changed, but it was not an awakening.
Instead, he became a subject under Zong Shen.
Although he is an opportunistic citizen and not very loyal, he is considered a heroic talent after all, so he has some corresponding permissions.
This made Grand Duke Jonathan a little unsure.
"Huh, okay, let's talk about it."
"Bring in two chairs!"
He raised his hand and ordered.
Soon a waiter brought two chairs.
Zong Shen and Mai Raven sat down one after another, more than ten meters away from Grand Duke Jonathan.
Then Grand Duke Jonathan frowned again and waved his hand to let those legendary powerhouses disperse.
Only the water demigod was left in the tent.
As for the secret of Prince Carter’s life experience, it’s not too late to deal with it afterwards.
You must know that after he awakened, he was given a control method similar to a loyalty system.
It is not difficult to keep the guys under your command secret.
At this time, Grand Duke Jonathan looked uncertain.
"Say your terms."
"Don't try to trade Carter for a giant city."
"Now any giant city under my command that is under actual control is valuable."
His tone was firm.
Hearing his words, Zong Shen smiled softly.
"Hehehehe..."
"It seems that after Grand Duke Jonathan was able to redeem his points, his ambitions became more ambitious."
His words shocked Grand Duke Jonathan again.
He previously used the idea that he could redeem points to scare Aaron Rudy and Ernie Edwards.
Now it was Zong Shen's turn to scare him with the same statement.
This is his secret. Unless he takes the initiative to confess it, Zong Shen cannot possibly know it!
Because of this, he was startled.
"You...what are you talking about!"
"Why do you know this!"
The sensitive parts of the conversation between them were silenced in the ears of onlookers.
Even the demigods couldn't hear it at all.
"I know a lot more."
"Including your transaction with the Three-pole Church."
"You traded a huge city for a woman."
"Now that you have your own son, you can't bear to leave him?"
Zong Shen sneered without caring.
He didn't have too many worries during this trip. He was definitely going to get some gold coins out of this old guy.
"Damn it!"
"What do you know!"
"That's to get the support of the Three Extremes Church!"
"Stop talking nonsense, you are playing with fire!"
"What exactly do you want?"
Grand Duke Jonathan retorted with some irritation.
"I said, I want to change it to a huge city."
Zong Shen still said calmly.
In this regard, Grand Duke Jonathan still did not agree.
