The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 896 Piero's Retaliation (1st Preliminary)
It is normal that no results are spoken of during the day, since negotiations naturally take a few days to tear each other apart.
At night, however, the Duke of Piero came to see Lester, who happened to be having tea chat with William Lee, and invited him into the study.
The Thorn Castle's study is huge, full of books of all kinds, ancient and artistic.
It is said that the room that best reflects a man's upbringing is the study, and Lester's study is written by gentle and elegant gentlemen in his inner world.
“Duke Piero, you'll be free in a few days. Don't know what you're looking for at this hour?” Lister stretched out his hand to show him to sit down.
Piero was also polite, sitting on his ass.
After taking over the green tea handed over by the servant, he mumbled half a cup: “I'm afraid the two of you laughed at me from the bottom of your heart, as the sinners of the dragon thrower, even if you can go back, almost the Duke sits at the end. ”
He's right.
Lester did laugh at each other from the bottom of his heart, but it was unnecessary to say: "War always wins and loses, and the Duke of Pierrot regrets being involved in an unwise dragon slaughter. I actually chose Alex Whitemouth, or Alonso Immortal. ”
“It is true that I chose the wrong object of war, Grey King has been robbed by you, I think. The Duke of Pierrot nodded and said calmly," The shift from the status of the Lord of a country to that of a prisoner of captivity has made me see many problems clearly and, to be honest, I am afraid that no one would have redeemed me if it had not been for the face of the Royal Eagle. ”
Lister and Lee William looked at each other and did not speak.
Just in front of him, Li William complained that the negotiations were a little difficult to settle. The Kingdom of the Eagle and the Principality of Grey Iron only want to make their faces affordable at the smallest cost, and do not care about the Duke of Piero himself. So in the face of the big offer from the lions over here, I strongly disagree.
The Duke of Pierrot went on to say: "I used to hate His Highness Lester and burn him day and night, but today I was betrayed by those closest to me and my hatred of His Highness was justified. Defeat and capture naturally leave everything to the victor, most hateful is betrayal! ”
William Lee made a false consolation statement: "Standing in the family interest, perhaps they also have difficulties. ”
“The Marquis thinks I'm talking about family betrayal?” The Duke of Pierrot shook his head, "No, no, no, I do resent them for betraying me, especially my son. But if I were him, I would have chosen to save my family's strength more than saving a prisoner like me. ”
“Then who are you talking about? ”
“It's Adonis Moonlight Silver! ”
“King Eagle, how did he betray you?” Lester hasn't figured out Piero's intentions yet.
At first, he felt that Piero simply wanted to turn to himself, but it was impossible, after all, to trade him for a Dragon Elf.
A piece of crap that is nothing more than a Sky Knight can be compared to a Dragon Pokémon.
Pierrot quickly explained: “I thought Adonis, Lloyd and I were the Iron Triangle. As the two most loyal members of the Eagle Kingdom, Lloyd and I both grew up in the Eagle Kingdom to be part of the Dragon Knight Alternative. It's just that I'm lacking in talent and not recognized by the Grey King. ”
Although people reach middle and old age, Piero still feels like a family in the Iron Triangle.
So the Royal Eagle fought the Dragon Slaughter, and he and Royle Purple Copper immediately responded, unfortunately Royle died and he was captured again.
“I thought even if the family would choose to give up on me, Adams would not give up on me, I fought for the dignity of the Eagle Royal Family, for the friendship of Adams... now I am a small, irrelevant figure, Adams did not even send me a word of comfort! ”
Volume gradually increases.
The more Piero said, the more excited: “This is humiliation, this is betrayal! He betrayed my friendship and the interests of the Principality of Grey Iron, and the traitor is not worthy of forgiveness! ”
“So, Duke Pierrot, what are you trying to say?” Lester doesn't care much about the sentimental world of his senior year, which hasn't seen the Knight novel fall and fall.
“I need your help to avenge Adonis!” Piero finally came to his senses.
“How can I help you? ”
“All information I know about the Kingdom of the Eagle can be given to Your Highness, including the grandson of the Bull Marquis. In exchange, Your Highness, you will support me to return to the Principality of Grey Iron, which will later be dominated by the Kingdom of Fire! ”
Without Lester asking, Lee William said, “Duke Pierrot, do you think this possibility exists? The Principality of Grey Iron has lost dragons, which means that in a few years your country will no longer exist. Even if we support your return, what do you use to suppress the country in return for the Flame Kingdom? ”
“Of course it pays off! ”
“Tell me about it. ”
“Andrei, the grandson of the Bull Marquis, is attacking a new dragon and, as far as I know, is about to succeed. If I were willing to give the dragon's message to His Highness, would His Highness be willing to shelter the Principality of Grey Iron for 20 years? Twenty years, I believe, His Highness will destroy the Kingdom of the Eagle within twenty years. ”
The Duke of Piero said that his gaze was unusually firm: “By then, if the Grey Mouth Iron family had not found a new dragon, I would be willing to disperse all my wealth to become a common Duke family in the Flame Kingdom. ”
Listen to the Duke of Piero.
Lester narrowed her eyes and began to think about what they were saying.
He didn't care much about Andrei, the archduke of sapphire's enemies, and even geniuses would have avenged the Sapphire family first. Besides, even if they become dragon knights, what can they do? How dare they do it in front of dragon knights with four dragons?
But.
Andrei was attacking the new dragon, and he became very interested: "What new dragon is he attacking? ”
“Wonderful dragons, though less than His Majesty's invisible dragons, are more amazing than ordinary metal dragons and gemstone dragons. If it wasn't for this dragon, how dare the Bull Marquis rebel against the Sapphire family?” The Duke of Pierrot leaned against the back of the chair, and as long as Lester was interested, he was given the initiative.
William Lee suddenly asked, "Duke Piero, do you think the Flame Kingdom will be destroyed in 20 years? ”
“With the momentum of His Highness Lester's development, I feel there is hope, of course, that more is betting on the future... Without the dragon, the Greymouth Iron Family will sooner or later lose its country, rather than become an ordinary aristocrat, why can't we bet a hand... The Holy Dragon Knight, who has not been born for many years, has appeared, why can't the Eagle Kingdom be extinct? ”
That makes sense.
Lester couldn't and didn't want to rebut: “Tell me first what dragon Andrei is attacking, and if I'm interested, it's not impossible to agree to your terms. ”
With a slight hesitation, the Duke of Pierrot nodded: “I believe in His Highness's integrity. Andrei's attack on the dragon was the biggest secret of the Eagle Kingdom, and I also accidentally discovered it at a dinner with Adonis when I inadvertently overheard his drunken vomit and secretly investigated it. ”
After a pause, he bit his teeth and said, "That's a bronze dragon! ”
