“I am going to appeal!
I am protesting…” The plump human trader fell to the ground, stood up while massaging his sore neck from the chokehold.
He quickly slipped into the crowd of mercenaries and didn’t dare to show his face again, but he kept on blabbering stubbornly.
“I apologize, dear human sir!” Prince Richard gave the human trader a dignified nod: “The Beamon Kingdom is a place that values law and democracy, and the righteous God of War is watching us from above.”
“What does that mean?” Liu Zhenhan spit.
“As a noble and a priest, priest Richard, you have a doubly noble status.
If you dare to tear up the agreement made before the God of War, I have the right to suggest to the Elder Council and the Temple to strip you of all your titles.” Prince Richard seemed to be determined to challenge Liu Zhenhan, his tone flat but with an undeniable hint of aggression: “A Beamon who does not keep his promises is the most shameful Beamon!”
Liu Zhenhan had worked hard just to acquire a noble’s land, this sentence hit right at his vulnerability.
“Haha…” Liu Zhenhan laughed heartily: “A prince is indeed a prince!
I hear you, I won’t go back on my words, you should be satisfied now, right?”
Avril raised her head in disbelief, looking at him.
“I demand five million gold coins!
If you can afford it, I’ll sell!” Liu Zhenhan sneered.
“Those are your words.” The human trader left him speechless with his comment.
Could he really afford so much?
Now it was Liu Zhenhan’s turn to be dumbfounded.
“We will be back, wait for us to bring the money.” The human trader smiled mysteriously: “These are your words before the God of War, Kampas!
Having the prince as a witness, I’m not afraid you will deny this!
The fat trader took out from his pocket a Magic Crystal orb, engraved with complex magic patterns, staring at Avril with eyes full of greed and lust.
He shook the Magic Crystal orb slightly, and a strange light swirled in the Magic Crystal orb.
After a few rotations, a miniaturized model of Avril appeared in the Magic Crystal orb, perfectly proportional in size.
“Memory Magic Crystal?” Cui Beixi frowned and muttered under her breath.
The corpulent trader smugly put the Memory Magic Crystal away.
The mercenaries retreated like a receding tide, leaving Liu Zhenhan alone in front of the temple, looking aghast.
“You bastard!” Avril dashed over and pounded Liu Zhenhan with her tiny fists before bursting into tears.
“He doesn’t have that much money, he was bluffing.” Liu Zhenhan held Avril’s waist, trying to comfort her, but deep down he had his own doubts.
“What if he really does have that much money?” Avril looked at Liu Zhenhan innocently through tear-filled eyes: “Are you really going to sell me?”
Liu Zhenhan swallowed down these words, too many people around, wouldn’t look well.
Seeing Liu Zhenhan wink at her, Avril immediately understood what he meant.
Upon thinking, she got angry again and started hitting him.
“Richard!” Cui Beixi swam over, her lovely face frosted over: “I don’t care how you ended up with Miss Avril, but the mermaid clan is a royal clan in the sea.
Enslaving others is not something a priest should do!
You must show this lady the respect she deserves!”
“I know, I know…” Liu Zhenhan was most afraid of two women, one was Ning Yu, and the other was this newly introduced mentor.
He found it strange how he was so afraid of her despite their recent acquaintance.
“The human trader who possesses the Memory Magic Crystal won’t be easy to deal with.
This Magic Crystal orb can record a lot of things, and in the human world, only noble houses and the influential could own magic items.
To my knowledge, this type of Magic Crystal orb often appears in the hands of human slave traders, used to record the appearance of the “goods”.” Cui Beixi looked serious.
“Druid Earl Piero, ruler of our neighboring human state – the Dorott Duchy, has been suffering from a severe illness for a long time, and it is said that he will not last long.
The Dorott Duchy is a vassal state of the Francisco Empire, and according to the laws of the Francisco Empire, the next Duke of the Dorott Duchy will be chosen from Earl Piero’s descendants. Latest content published on novelꞁire.net
The current Duke of Dorott has no sons, only three daughters, two of whom are already married.
So the position of the Duke can only be filled by one of his three daughters.” Prince Richard spoke with a smile: “The eldest daughter of the Duke of Dorott married the nephew of the country’s prime minister, Earl Totti Charbar, who is the richest slaveholder and businessman in Dorott.
His second daughter married the son of the commander of the Dorott Duchy’s largest mercenary corps – the ‘Tornado’ mercenary corps, Holy Knight Danze Thomas of the Saint Paul Church’s Holy Knight Corps.
As the Duke’s youngest daughter is not yet married, it appears that the next Duke of Dorott will emerge from the power struggle between Earl Totti Charbar and Holy Knight Danze Thomas.
Whichever wife becomes the Duchess, her family’s power will be at its peak.”
Everyone stared at the prince, sensing a hidden message in his words.
