"Not every tourist is interested in the history of the Kingdom of Bucharest! In fact, even the people of the Kingdom of Bucharest may not understand it. You don't need to be sorry, Mr. Zorro! This is unfair to you!"
Russo Asclepius said lightly.
William pursed his lips, he was just saying a polite word.
Who really thinks William is truly sorry is the real fool?
It is obvious that although Asclepius is old, he is still not confused, and he can even be said to be cunning!
Not this type of person!
"Where do I start, Mr. Zorro?" Crosso Asclepius thought for a moment and murmured.
"Okay, let's start from a hundred years ago." Crothos Asclepius settled.
"A hundred years ago?"
"Well! A hundred years ago!" Crothos Asclepius's face looked a little solemn.
"A hundred years ago, the territory of the Kingdom of Bucharest was much larger than it is now. It was not a kingdom, but the Bucharest Empire!"
"Empire?" William's eyes moved.
"Well! The Bucharest Empire! At that time, the empire was very powerful. Looking at the entire continent, it was one of the top powers!" Crosso Asklepios' face was filled with a sense of honor.
"Then what happened?" In fact, William didn't want to hear him talk about ancient times, but he had no choice but to ask for help, so William had to ask cooperatively.
"What happened later? Alas! The fall of an empire begins from within!" Crosso Asclepius said heartbrokenly, "The royal family of the empire is addicted to luxury, and their eyes only see the prosperity in front of them.
, but cannot see the undercurrent flowing beneath the prosperity.”
"Rebellion is quietly gathering!"
"Finally, one night in the palace, the hateful traitor issued a clarion call to attack the royal family."
"The royal family members suffered heavy losses and very few escaped, while the traitors openly occupied the palace and established a new country."
"The escaped royal members were forced to flee to this land, elected my ancestors as the new king, established the new Kingdom of Bucharest, and started a continuous war with the Kingdom of Delgada established by the traitors
!”
"Our two countries have been fighting for hundreds of years! A few years ago, my army almost defeated the traitor's army and destroyed this dirty country! Unfortunately, a traitor suddenly appeared in the traitor's army.
A general who is naturally good at fighting, he led the rebel army step by step and drove my army out of their land step by step."
"This war was a failure! And the young general was appreciated by the false king of the traitor country and married his daughter to him!"
"From now on, it will be difficult for my army to gain a combat advantage from the army led by this young general!" Crothos Asclepius said in a heavy tone.
William was silent for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty the King, do you want me to help your army win?"
If this is the case, William will definitely not do it.
The uncertainty of such a large-scale war is too high, and it is uncertain what trump cards both sides will play!
Maybe witches or even the priests of the Lord of Holy Light will end up!
William is just a little big knight, he can't be offended, he can't be offended!
He would rather think of other ways.
With the magic mirror around, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
Crosso Asclepius laughed when he heard this, and said kindly, "Mr. Zorro, I admit that you are very powerful, but the battlefield is still a bit more dangerous, and you have a more important purpose!"
William was relieved after hearing this, and he said, "What can I do for you, Your Majesty the King?"
"Of course, Mr. Zorro!" Crosso Asklepios said, "I said that the traitors occupied the palace of the Bucharest royal family!"
"Yes, His Majesty King Asclepius of Crothos! You did say that!" William emphasized.
"The traitor only seized its body, but never got its true soul!" Crothos Asclepius said coldly and arrogantly.
"I don't understand what you mean, Your Majesty!"
"Haha, Mr. Zorro, you know, from the first time I saw you, I felt that you were a trustworthy person! So I am willing to share this secret with you! The secret of the Bucharest royal family!"
"Tom, get out!" Crothos Asclepius suddenly asked his guards to leave.
The honest guard named Tom glanced at William, said nothing, and then walked out slowly.
Only Asclepius and William were left in the room.
William didn't know where this Asclepius of Crothos got his confidence. How dare he be in the same room with me without putting up any defense?
Is it because of his mysterious ability? Is it possible to know his arrival in advance? William thought to himself.
After the guards left, Crothos Asclepius continued.
"Mr. Zorro, those betrayers will never know that there is actually a secret hidden under the Bucharest Palace!"
"What secret?" William became interested.
Gossip is human nature!
"A snake's nest!"
"A snake nest?" William was stunned, "How is this possible? They haven't discovered it for a hundred years?"
"This is their stupidity!" said Asclepius of Crothos with contempt.
"You want me to go to this snake nest?" William's mind was filled with images of slippery poisonous snakes.
"Yes, Mr. Zorro, you are a smart man!" Crosso Asclepius praised, and then continued.
"In this snake nest, there are many white snakes! In the center of the snake nest, there is a tree!"
"Tree?"
"Well! A snake tree that grows on the growth of white snakes! There are some leaves growing on the snake tree! I hope you can help me go to this snake nest and pick these snake leaves back! If it is convenient for you, kill
Bring back dead or alive white snakes as well. I'm afraid that these snake leaves won't be fresh enough after I bring them back, so I can nourish them with snake leaves."
"Your Majesty, can you answer my questions? What do you want this snake leaf for?" William would not just go to work stupidly, he would always ask clearly.
When talking about this issue, Crothos Asclepius felt sad and said in a serious tone, "One of my eldest sons was bitten by a poisonous snake and got a strange disease! Even the sacrifices of the Lord of Holy Light cannot cure it.
Such a strange disease!"
"A doctor told me that only the leaves nourished by this snake have the ability to detoxify hundreds of poisons."
"At least three snake leaves are needed to cure this strange disease!"
"I have no choice but to try this!"
"But the palace is not in my country, so I can only send some loyal soldiers to sneak in quietly. But every time they return without success, or even die miserably!"
"I had no choice!"
"But this time, you are here! Mr. Zorro!"
"Hmm!" William was still pondering.
This is no small matter, the Snake Nest is still in the palace of a country.
This is not the castle of a city-state that William went to last time!
Not to mention the risk, it’s just a matter of whether it’s worth it!
At this time, Crothos Asclepius added more force, "Mr. Zorro, as long as you bring the snake leaf back for me, I will tell you where the golden apple is?"
"I need to think about it, Your Majesty the King!" William still didn't agree immediately. The main reason was that he always felt that these scenes were very familiar, such as snake leaves and the royal palace, but he just couldn't remember them at the moment.
He wants to go back and think about it.
More importantly, he felt that King Crothos Asclepius could not be easily trusted!
It would be an exaggeration to say that he is full of lies, but there is definitely some truth and some lies in his words.
William couldn't tell the difference for a while.
"Of course! Mr. Zorro, you can stay in my palace. You are welcome at any time!" Crothos Asclepius expressed his understanding.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the King!" William had a magic mirror and was a man of skill and courage, so he had nothing to fear, so he nodded.
