Old Bakken looked at the red skull in the young man's hand, and his eyes, which were already ashen, suddenly glowed.
The location where Syl appeared was very suitable for the old Buchan. Originally, the Buchan family's bunker was built in the backyard, which was still some distance away.
But Old Bakken's desperate escape just now happened to pass through the entire mansion and reach the backyard. The exit of the bunker, which was covered by a pile of ruins, happened to be right next to Old Bakken.
Although the entire Bakken Mansion has been surrounded by the Northland Legion, it is still some distance away from the old Bakken and Seal.
Sear only needed to take a step forward and pass his hands to deliver the red skull to Old Buchan.
Unless Richard immediately initiates teleportation, it would be difficult for anyone at this distance to stop Old Bakken from getting the skull.
At this time, no one present could have imagined that a young man would actually emerge from the underground of Bakken House, and he was holding something that seemed dangerous.
Although I don’t know what the purpose of the red skull is, the weird shape alone makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Coupled with Old Bakken's urgent words, everyone except Richard and Wallis next to him subconsciously felt that they should prevent the other party from getting the skull.
The fastest mover was Gru, who was standing next to Richard. Gru, who had quick eyes and quick hands, quickly completed the action of nocking an arrow and drawing a bow the moment Syl appeared.
There was an intention to directly kill the Marquis of Buchan. With Gru's reaction speed and strength, if Richard hadn't raised his hand to stop Gru's movement at the last step, he might have been able to get the skull before Old Buchan.
Just kill the opponent.
After stopping Gru's movement, Richard stood still and did not take any action. Instead, he glanced with interest at Varys, who also looked calm, and the young man who had just ran out of the bunker and was now in a daze.
.
"Sil, why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you give it to me quickly?"
Seeing Syl standing there without moving, Old Bakken thought that the other party was shocked by the scene in front of him, and even gave a warning, and even took the initiative to extend his hand to the other party.
If it weren't for the fact that Old Bakken was seriously injured at this time and had difficulty moving, and he didn't want to waste any more energy, he would have taken a step forward to grab it after Silr was so stunned.
Syl looked at Old Bakken, and then at the messy corpses in the front yard, with a look of painful struggle on his face.
But Old Bakken's words seemed to bring Seal back to his senses. Faced with Old Bakken's order, Seal did not immediately execute it for the first time.
"Grandpa, what are you going to do with this devil's head?"
"Of course it is to open the passage to the abyss, allowing the great ancestors to descend on the royal capital and bloodbath the entire Golden Dragon Kingdom."
"Your parents, brothers, your relatives and friends are all dead. Don't you want to take revenge?"
No matter how dull Old Buchan was, he could see that something was wrong with Syl's situation. He couldn't think of the reason for Syl's hesitation at the moment, so he could only point to the corpses all over the courtyard to arouse Syl's hatred.
Old Buchan spoke urgently, hoping that hatred would prompt Syl to make up his mind.
"A bloodbath in the kingdom? Is this the consequence of the arrival of the ancestors?"
The bloodline nobles have always called the demons from whom their bloodline originated as their ancestors.
No matter what attitude the demons have towards them, the bloodline nobles have long since recognized their ancestor.
"How many people will die? We are human beings too."
"I've said it a long time ago, we are human beings, we shouldn't do this, we shouldn't do this..."
Old Bakken's radical words had some counter-effects. Although there was still grief on Syl's face, the look of struggle had faded.
He looked at Old Bakken with cautious eyes and slowly stepped back.
"Give me!"
Seeing Syl retreat, Old Buchan became anxious, and eagerly moved forward to snatch the skull from Syl's hand.
If Old Bakken was uninjured and at such a close distance, Syl would have almost no power to resist.
But at this time, old Bakken could hardly find a good piece of skin on his body.
Old Bakken was able to survive the blow he received from Richard because his demon bloodline was somewhat resistant to high temperature damage.
Now I feel like my whole body doesn't move well when I make big movements.
After reluctantly taking a step forward, Syl had already ran out more than ten meters away with the red demon skull. Old Bakken could only watch helplessly as Syl brought the thing to Richard and Wallis.
"traitor!"
"That's the enemy of the Buchan family!"
"How could there be such an unfilial person like you in our Bakken family?"
“…”
The grumpy old Buchan could no longer maintain his composure. When he saw Syl running towards the Northland Army, he understood the other party's intention and began to curse.
Because of his anger, the expression on Old Bakken's face was almost distorted. As long as he could move, he would like to cut Syl into pieces.
Cyr ignored Old Bakken's incompetent fury, stood in front of Vals and silently handed out what he was holding.
"Thank you for your contribution to the kingdom and the Black Prison. You can go down and rest first."
Wallis nodded and took the red head from the silent Syl.
After Silr handed the things to Wallis, he felt as if he had breathed his last breath, and his whole body was completely drained of energy.
After taking a look at Richard, he was led out by the people around Wallis.
Syl did not hide the hatred in that look. Wallis was afraid that Syl's look would arouse Richard's dissatisfaction, so he quickly signaled to his men to take Syl away as soon as possible.
Regardless of whether Seal is a spy from the Black Prison or not, the Buchan family is where he grew up. It is impossible not to have some feelings. Richard has just killed his entire family's enemies.
However, Richard didn't care at all about this hateful look. The level difference between the two parties was too far.
No one would kill the entire ant nest just because they stepped on it to eliminate the trouble.
Instead, Richard became more interested in the methods used by the Black Prison to bury spies and the intelligence they collected.
"Lord Varys really has some tricks up his sleeve. He can even recruit spies from direct descendants of the Bakken family."
Syl belongs to the direct lineage of the Buchan family. From a normal point of view, the interests of him and the Buchan family are completely bound. They will both prosper and suffer. In any case, they should not take the initiative to betray. I don’t know what the Black Prison is.
By what means did Syl willingly become the Black Prison's spy in the Buchan family?
"Master Richard is ridiculous. The strength of the Black Prison is not due to me, Varys. More than ten years ago, when the old king was still here, someone started to contact Syl."
More than ten years ago, Syl was still a little kid. From that time on, Black Prison had a way of exerting a subtle influence on Syl.
This matter is simply terrifying to think about.
The Black Prison can become a terrifying existence that makes the nobles and officials of the royal capital talk about it. Sure enough, there are still two reasons.
The Yusi under Richard are all Northland intelligence agencies. With Richard's support, they have sufficient financial support and continue to grow with the strength of the Northland Army. However, the operating time is still too short and cannot compare to the existence of Black Prison.
A century-old organization, you never know how many years ago the black prison will start to lay out a spy.
"I don't know if Lord Varys has placed a spy beside me."
"I'm not afraid of Mr. Richard's jokes. The Northland is beyond the reach of the Black Prison. In the past, there were only some arrangements at the Lanster family. There were only a few insignificant spies in the Northland to pass on the news."
Varys did not shy away from this topic. If he told Richard that there was no black prison in the North, it would be an insult to Richard's intelligence.
It's just that the Northland is really far away from the core of the kingdom. In the past, the only people who paid more attention to in the Black Prison were the Houlanst family in the Northland. However, the Hunter family rose too fast, and the Black Prison didn't have time to make more arrangements.
Or to put it more bluntly, in the eyes of the Black Prison, the former Hunter family was just a little cat or puppy, and it was really not worth the effort of the Black Prison to bury a spy.
"Then does Black Prison know the origin of this thing?"
"This is the Devil's Skull. Legend has it that it was made from the head of a demon lord who had mastered the power of space. It can be used to open the passage between the abyss and the human world."
"This head has been in the Buchan family for hundreds of years and has never had any reaction. It is just like an ordinary animal head."
"It's just that recently this head has changed from the original pale color to the current red color. The Bakken family also used it to initiate sacrifices and contacted the source of the Bakken family's bloodline, a lord-level demon. For this reason, at least it harmed
Killed hundreds of people.”
Richard knew almost nothing about this thing except that he could feel the evil and manic aura coming from the red head. However, Wallis knew the origin and function of this thing clearly. Even Bakken
The matter of blood sacrifice of human life at home is very clear.
