Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

As soon as the shocked knight turned his sword in a reflex, Lycaen's finger was already drawing blood.

But if there is a gain, there is a loss.

Gaaaah!

A terrifying sensation sweeps through the back panel. Even though he twisted his body knowing that something was flying, he could not avoid it completely. But I've been through this pain hundreds of times in my past life, rolling the battlefield.

“Huff!”

“Hehe!”

As the blade passes by the back plate, two knights successively fall down from the bloodshed.

The groaning that bursts out. In an instant, seven people roll to the ground paralyzed.

Of course, Lycaen was not fine either. It's nothing serious, but blood is flowing from large and small wounds all over the body.

“What the……. ”

A knight looks unbelievable and turns to Lycaen and his fallen comrades. He's only one man. Moreover, he doesn't carry a weapon. And here I am.

At that moment, the rest of the Knights join the clamor.

There was a knight in the mansion, one of the Knights of the Twilight, twenty of them. The first two and seven have just fallen, and now there are eleven left.

Lycaen said with a slight look on his face, not exactly laughing, even though he had cut himself on his sword.

“Hey, come on! ”

“Th, my God! ”

Elisha's face is startled.

In the meantime, Lycaen, bleeding from the wounds of his entire body, lays the bloody knights on the floor one by one and speaks to Elisha.

“I think I finally have the right to talk. ”

Elisha couldn't help but notice the knights lying on the ground.

“W-what did you do? ”

It is natural for Elisha to be unable to understand the situation without knowing that it is a blood clot. But Lycaen didn't feel the need to understand it.

“I think it's more important that we finish what we were talking about. ”

Elisha grins and asks.

“Are we talking about this situation? ”

“If you don't like it, I'll shut all these mouths for good and that's it. ”

All who knew of Kleus' goods and Riyaen's relationship, or saw Riyaen's face, were all here. So, if everyone dies, it will sink back to the bottom of the water.

‘The SS knights are so simple……. ’

Elisha still can't believe it. I had a hunch that Lycaen was strong. But I never imagined it would be like this.

But what was important now was not how good Lycaen was.

“Now, what do you say? Do you want to finish what we started, or do you want to die? ”

“Grrrgh!"

Elisha shudders enough to shake her shoulders, but she has no choice in the situation. If things don't end well after this, if one of us survives here, she has no future.

Then it was in her best interest to do whatever it took to get things done.

“Okay, let's keep talking. ”

“At least I know I'm risking my life. So, what do you want? ”

“Well, it's not great. It's a hole made of gold. ”

A hall is a flat, long rod usually made of silver and engraved with an imperial seal on the end. This is the tradition of the Gronis Imperial Court. Nobles and nobles with duties and territories are handheld when they meet the emperor.

And only the Emperor has a hall made of gold.

“A golden hall... Hmm, I think I've seen it. ”

“Good. I'll tell you what we think. ”

“No, wait. ”

“Yes?”

“Why do we need that? The Hall of Emperors is made of gold, and even if it symbolizes the emperor's authority, it means nothing else. Besides, if it's worn out or broken, if it's remodeled, I think it's the only thing that's been made, why would it go looking for something 100 years ago? ”

“It was used by the first Emperor of the Empire. So whether it's used or not, it's important in the imperial court. ”

But Lycaen shakes his head with a big smile.

“You don't think I know anything. The hall was used in the imperial court since the 17th Emperor. There's no record of a hall being used before that. ”

Elisha closes her eyes tightly. And then he took a deep breath and said,

“I can't tell you that. What matters now is the price of the item, not its history, right? ”

“If that's the case, then it's not. ”

Elisha hurriedly says before Lycaen says anything else.

“Five million argens. I'll pay 5 million argon for the golden hall. This should be a pretty good price. ”

“I'm even more curious. What is the secret to 5 million argens? ”

Elisha looks embarrassed and sees Lycaen. But I couldn't go back like this.

“Knowing that secret will not guarantee the safety of your family and territory, of course. ”

At that moment, Lycaen suddenly distorted his face and called out in a loud voice.

“Damn it! I'll protect my life. Knights of Dusk or the Emperor, you touch me or my family, and we'll die together! ”

Elisha twitches her shoulders unknowingly at Lycaen's harsh words. But it was a natural reaction for Ricaien. It is unbearable for him to threaten his family even though he does not know it.

Finally, Elisha sighs for a long time, as if declaring her surrender.

“Okay... I'll tell you. There's something else hidden in that golden hall. ”

“Something else? ”

“The key to the secret warehouse beneath the Imperial Palace. ”

“A secret warehouse? ”

“Yes, it's a storeroom that holds the goods and records of the imperial emperors of all time. But after the golden hall was stolen 100 years ago, the storeroom doors didn't open again. ”

If Klaus' treasure hadn't appeared forever, he wouldn't have tried to use chi like this. The key, along with Klaus' disappearance, was gone forever. But if something related to Klaus came out of the world, that means the secret key came out of the world, too. If so, I can't help but find it.

“I see.”

“Now that you know the secret, let's finish the deal. ”

Lycaen said that without hesitation.

“You're welcome.”

“Yes?”

Elisha stares blankly at Lycaen. I didn't immediately understand what I was hearing. Elisha, who has been frowning for a long time, barely recovers her mind and asks.

“You're welcome, wife? ”

“Yes, 10 million argens. ”

“Are you out of your mind? That golden hall means something, but it means 10 million argens! ”

Lycaen smiled and said as if it were natural.

“Five million you offered for that item. And the price of no more secrets is 5 million. ”

“Yes?”

“There must be something else in that secret cellar, but I won't ask for it. ”

“Suck!”

Elisha's face is startled.

“Well, how did you do that! ”

“Hehe, did you really think your life would be so easy to believe that you lied when it came to your senses? ”

“Ha, but……. ”

It was not that she was so dedicated to this. They were able to delegate power because they were skilled. Even though Elisha was captured and threatened by her colleagues, she could not be easily seduced by the opponent.

I hid it in a secret.

I didn't think it would be easy to make a deal anyway. That's why I told her to feel like it's a big secret that the key is hidden.

And by letting them know that they had the key, I convinced them to feel like all the secrets had been solved. But Lycaen was sitting on top of her head.

Riccianne's smile deepened.

“Let's not dig into secrets, let's not dwell on what we've heard. I think that's enough for you. ”

Elisha takes a deep breath and gives you a hard nod.

“Okay, that's it? ”

“No, not yet. ”

“Yes?”

“Think of a way to keep my secret. ”

“Your secret? ”

In fact, this was something that Lycaen couldn't help but think about. I followed him with little thought. I thought I could handle it if I got distracted, no matter how big it was.

But the opponent is the Secret Guard of the Emperor Gronis. It was not easy to keep my mouth shut. You can pretend to be the emperor of the empire after doing something unnecessary. No matter how fearless Lycaen may be, he had no intention of making such a huge enemy.

Rumors surrounding Kleus' treasures are absolutely dangerous, with the power of the territory still out there. The most dangerous side is the Art Room Guild. There's no way Joel's not in control of the art room guild just yet.
