Infinite Anecdotes

230．dragon blood

The Kingdom of Luknica has been going well for 400 years. Although there were some disturbances such as the Asian War, it was a matter for civilians, soldiers and knights. For the nobles and the royal family, they did not feel that they were poor. What kind of impact has been made on the extravagant life.

Therefore, after hundreds of years of accumulation, the royal family of Luknica has a rich family fortune. The wealth and treasures accumulated in its treasury have filled the entire treasury room, and the gold and silver mountains are so shaking that Earl Corbett can hardly open his eyes. open your eyes.Seeing the countless rare treasures among them, Earl Corbett couldn't help scolding in his heart. He always thought that he had been corrupt for a lot of tax evasion, and he often bribed tax collectors and deducted money. Taxes, but I didn't expect the royal family to be more ruthless than him, but after thinking about it, those guys have already died, and now, all these things have fallen into my own hands. ．

Thinking of this, the earl's eyes shone with greed.But he is a scheming guy, so naturally he hasn't forgotten the Pretentious Witch and her followers around him.Obviously, they also want to get a share of it.

Before Earl Corbett could think of a way to divide the loot peacefully, the phony witch standing beside him saw through his thoughts and covered her mouth with a soft smile: "Don't worry, Earl, the treasure here is yours. We are not interested in these gold and silver utensils, but there is only one thing, and please give it to us, the Earl."

"Of course!" Earl Corbett replied decisively, but the corners of his mouth hidden under his mustache betrayed his sincerity: "Your Witch can naturally choose whatever you want."

The smile on Pandora's face grew stronger. She didn't try to expose this hypocritical man, but continued to walk towards the depths of the entire treasure house.

Indeed, as she said, she was dismissive of the gorgeous utensils, gold, silver and jewelry displayed around her, which made Earl Corbett even more curious about what kind of things could impress this witch and win her favor

The treasure room was not as long as expected. They quickly passed through the mountains of gold and silver and came to an exquisite table. The red silk cloth held an inconspicuous small medicine bottle.

what is this?

Earl Corbett couldn't help frowning. Although he was an earl with real power, the so-called earl with real power had his own territory and was far away from the royal power. He had heard about these things in the court, but he couldn't compare to Karl The important officials of the Duke of Sten and the Marquis of Woodlow know a lot.

But judging from this decoration, it is obviously a very important treasure, otherwise it would not be so carefully decorated and stored in the deepest part of the treasure house.

He turned his head and observed his companions.

The false witch who was not interested in anything before finally had a sparkle in her eyes at this moment. Just when the girl next to her was about to go forward to get the things, the false witch stopped her and pointed at the girl next to her. The count said: "This is what I want, and I have troubled the count to fetch that thing and give it to me. Everything else here is the count's possession."

No matter how you look at it, this is a worthwhile deal, but Earl Corbett is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very shrewd. The treasure is even more precious, he frowned suspiciously and asked: "What is that, there shouldn't be... any danger, right?

Previously, the witch had solved the problem herself, but this time she wanted to give him a false hand. Obviously there was something tricky about it.

The smile on the face of the Witch of Disguise was a little distorted, but she could see that if the earl wasn't here to satisfy his curiosity, the other party wouldn't let it go - this cunning and damned old fox.

She doesn't want to waste time.

Although Pandora has at least a hundred ways to make the other party submit obediently, but this evil witch obviously has other plans. She finally raised her eyebrows and said frankly to the other party: "That is dragon's blood."

"Dragon blood!" Earl Corbett exclaimed.

It's no wonder that he would make a fuss, because the dragon's blood was passed on in the Kingdom of Luknica miraculously, and it even had the effect of bringing the dead back to life.

"Because this item is equipped with a restraining force against the witch (factor), I can't go there to get it in person, so can I ask the count to do it for you?"

Lord Corbett wavered.

Money, this kind of thing, is a tangible thing, no matter how much it is, it is impossible to collect it all. No matter how much wealth is collected, if he does not have his life to enjoy it, then everything will be like a dream.It's like there are so many treasures here, and those who can enjoy them have disappeared, and if there is dragon's blood...

"Lord Earl!" The voice of the Vampire Witch rang in his ear, interrupting the Earl's continued conjecture: "Could it be that you believe those groundless rumors, the world always likes to know nothing about them It is an exaggeration, saying that dragon blood can bring the dead back to life and cure all diseases, but if that is true, then why do you think no one in the Luknica royal family uses it?"

"..." Earl Colter suddenly realized, yes, if this thing is really as mysterious as the rumors say, then why no one in the royal family uses it, and he is keenly aware that his hesitation just now has made the other party Displeased.

Earl Colter is a fine man, and he has realized that he must do something to redeem his gaffe, so he said: "Of course, as I said, it belongs to you, there is no doubt about it. Willing to serve you, my Miss."

Count Colter stepped forward cautiously, completely contrary to the open-mindedness he had just expressed his loyalty to. The count watched the surroundings vigilantly, for fear that some mechanism or the like would appear. After he was sure that nothing had happened, the count Gently removed the bottle of dragon's blood from the beautifully decorated tray.In fact, the dragon's blood was not red. He held it up to look at the light coming from the entrance, and found that the bottle of dragon's blood was shining emerald green under the cover of the light.

This is dragon blood.

Count Colter's heart was shaken again, but in the end reason prevailed, he quickly sobered up, and respectfully offered it to the Witch of Disguise.

"It's yours, ma'am."

"Very well done, Lord Earl," the Witch of Disguise put the container of dragon's blood into her robe with a smile, and said to Colter, "Loyalty should be rewarded. From now on, all the treasures in this treasury The treasures are all yours."

Earl Colt involuntarily dilated his pupils.

His breathing was a little constricted because of it, as if he wanted to say something dignified like he'd done in the past, but—he couldn't.

These treasures are his, all, all!

Earl Colt, who realized this, couldn't help laughing.

With these treasures, how much land and how many troops he can buy, he can take all of them to the west of Karalaki or the northern kingdom. If it is the northern kingdom, the money may be enough to buy a When a small country becomes its own king, there is no need to suffer from such birds.

"Then, thank you for your assistance, Lord Earl, let's leave now." The Void Witch greeted and turned to leave.

The earl, who was still immersed in his dream, didn't realize what this meant at first, but when he realized the problem, the figure of the Vampire Witch was disappearing and fading, and he turned his head in shock: "Wait, wait a minute!

But the Vampire Witch and the girl following her had completely disappeared before his eyes.

The Count was dumbfounded.

"Damn witch!" he yelled.

How could the earl not understand the mocking smile on the other party's face, which meant that the other party had deceived himself and abandoned him in the first place.

Just imagine, what would happen if those knights broke in to see him at this time, and now there is no time for him to be stupefied here, Earl Colter acted quickly, and he rushed to the mountains of gold and silver, Stuffing the things that looked the most ancient into his pockets, without the help of the witch, he obviously had no way to remove all the things in this treasure house, but at least he had to fill his pockets.

But pockets alone can't hold much, so isn't there a prop that can hold more?

Bags, he needs bags!

After looking here and there for a while, Count Coulter abandoned his aristocratic dignity, took off his coat as a sack, and stuffed pieces of gold and silver into it

Just as he was pretending to be enjoying himself, there were voices of conversation and hurried footsteps outside the treasure house.

"Quick, this way!"

The count was so frightened that the clothes on his hands fell off, he quickly picked up the things, picked up as many as possible, and then hid in a corner that he thought was a blind spot.
