Chapter 333: Blackmail
"Alas!" Buton could not speak for Lan Shite at this time. He could only sigh and said helplessly: "This matter is completely beyond the scope of my imagination, and it is also beyond the scope of my responsibilities, so , I can only say that I have no authority to deal with this. Please give me some time to ask the Grand Duke!”
Constany also knew that this matter was indeed beyond Bouton’s control, so he didn’t say much, just smiled and said, “Okay, but our time is precious, so please don’t delay any longer. That’s it!”
"Okay, I understand!" Buton nodded, then suddenly frowned and thought for a moment, and then said: "Oh, I wonder if you have anything else you want me to tell the Grand Duke?" Obviously, what he meant It was to ask Constantine to state the conditions for settling the matter, so as to give Grand Duke Shiratori a reference.
Constany certainly understood what Buton meant, but she had not yet thought of what to ask for. So he looked back at Lao Xie and motioned for him to speak.
Lao Xie thought for a moment, and then said: "If you swallow our goods and gold coins, you will spit them out!"
"Of course!" Buton said hurriedly.
"In addition, our people have suffered numerous casualties, and we need five times the compensation!" the old evil lion said with his mouth wide open.
"That's no problem!" Buton said immediately. For the wealthy owner of the White Bird Principality, the compensation for hundreds of people is really nothing.
Then Lao Xie's face softened, and he stated the third condition: "This incident has caused deep harm to our two families. As an apology, I ask for two sub-artifacts!"
"Huh?" Buton was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said angrily: "Your Excellency, this seems a bit too much, right?"
"Is it too much?" Lao Xie said funnyly: "Why didn't I see it?"
"This is just robbery!" Buton couldn't help roaring.
"Yes, I'm just robbing!" Lao Xie said nonchalantly: "Since you can rob me, why can't I rob you?"
"You~" Buton heard this. I was immediately speechless. Yes, since you did such an outrageous thing first, then if someone takes the opportunity to blackmail you, what else can you say?
With no choice but to suppress his anger, Buton said coldly: "Sir, as far as I know, although the White Bird Principality is rich, it does not have two sub-artifacts in hand!"
"Angel Wings!" Lao Xie said to Buton with a smile.
Although Lao Xie's smile was as kind as possible, Buton still felt a chill rising from his back after looking at it. He did not answer immediately, but just looked at Lao Xie. After a while, he said helplessly, "The wings of the angel are indeed an amazing sub-artifact. It not only provides powerful light spells. It can also make people look like Flying like a bird. But the question is, I don’t know whether this thing is in the hands of the Grand Duke, so how do you know?”
"Haha!" Lao Xie said with a chuckle: "The guy who sold the 'Angel Wings' to Grand Duke White Bird is not a professional person. After he obtained this thing through tomb robbing, he contacted many buyers. Among them is my old man. Unfortunately, although he is quite rich, he still cannot compare with Grand Duke Shiratori in terms of financial resources. At this time, that guy came to our door. Sell the buyer's information for 10,000 gold coins! So, not only do I know that you bought the 'Angel Wings', but I also know the specific time, place and transaction amount. Do you understand?"
"Damn, these **** are really unreliable!" Buton cursed angrily. After he calmed down a little, he said angrily again: "But. Even if the Archduke has the 'Angel Wings' in his hand, there is still another We don’t have a sub-artifact?”
"White Bird Divine Sword!" Lao Xie said calmly.
"What?" Buton suddenly said angrily: "This is the national treasure of our principality and the symbol of the country. How can I give it to you?"
It turns out that the White Bird Divine Sword was a sword that the first Grand Duke of White Bird got by chance. It was with this sub-artifact-level treasure that he conquered the land of White Bird Principality. And lasted for more than ten generations. It has been passed down for hundreds of years and can only be worn by the White Bird Grand Dukes of all generations. It is the symbol of the Grand Duke. You can imagine how important this thing is. It is not only a sword, but also a symbol of power! That's why Bouton was so angry.
"It's okay if you don't give it, then change it to other sub-artifacts!" Lao Xie said calmly: "Anyway, I don't limit you to which two sub-artifacts you can get!"
"But!" Buton still wanted to speak, but was directly interrupted by Lao Xie: "Okay, you can go, just bring my words to the White Bird Archduke. You know, this is not something you can interfere with. ”
"Hey!" After hearing this, Buton sighed heavily, stamped his foot hard at the same time, and then turned around and left without saying a word. But his originally straight body began to become crooked, and his steps staggered. If the housekeeper who came with him hadn't supported him, the old guy would have fallen down on the spot.
Just when Buton was about to board his carriage, Lao Xie's lazy words came from behind again, "Old guy, there isn't much food here, remember to get me something delicious to eat. Remember, I only drink 50-year-old red wine. If not, your young master will be wronged!"
After Buton heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore and spurted out a mouthful of blood. You know, although the White Bird Principality does not have strong military force, it has rich financial resources. In addition, it is rich in griffins, an important strategic weapon, so it can be regarded as having some status on the mainland. But I didn't expect that today, I would be completely trampled to the ground by Lao Xie. Don't even mention the frustration in Buton's heart. He was a dignified chief minister of the principality. Not only did he have to endure the humiliation of a rude junior, but he also had to entertain him with good food and wine, but he didn't dare to say the word "no". This huge humiliation made Bouton almost crazy.
After reluctantly boarding the carriage, Buton roared angrily: "Let's go~"
After leaving the castle, Buton's carriage quickly arrived in front of Stoker. Stoke hurriedly opened the car door and was surprised when he saw Bouton's face was pale and extremely depressed. Then he said angrily: "Teacher, what's wrong with those bastards? I'll avenge you!" He said, This means leading people to kill them.
When Buton saw this, he hurriedly roared: "Come back!"
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Stork came back in a hurry and asked.
"You, send people to surround the castle, just watch and not attack!" Buton paused, and then said helplessly: "Also, send them some good bread, wine and meat, and also, Get them some bottles of red wine that are over 50 years old!”
"What?" Stoker was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help complaining: "Teacher, why are you so polite to these robbers? It would be nice to just give them food, and also give them fifty years of red wine. I can’t bear to drink it!”
"Shut up!" Buton said angrily: "If they don't give you what they want, they'll wait to collect Lan Shite's body!"
"Ah? Damn that guy, he threatened us with Lan Shite, so shameless!" After a few curses, Stoker asked with concern: "Teacher, is Lan Shite okay in there?"
As soon as Buton heard Lan Shite's name, he couldn't help but yelled angrily: "Don't mention that **** to me!"
Buton's angry look frightened Stoker. He had been in contact with Buton for decades since he was a teacher when he was a few years old. This was the first time he saw Buton. I was so angry that I was stunned for a moment.
"Do your own thing!" Buton roared again, then ordered the car to drive straight to the city lord's palace. Stoker, who didn't know what to do, was left on the spot.
Here is a small town belonging to the White Bird Principality, very close to Dragon Territory. It was originally just a quiet little place, but recently it has become extremely lively. The reason is that the dragon leader's army is pressing on the border. Looking at the dense and endless temporary military camps of the opponent, the people here are almost dumbfounded. There are at least tens of thousands of people on the other side, but the White Bird Principality's border guards in Pili only have a few dozen. Normally, they can organize patrols to catch small thieves, but compared to the tens of thousands of powerful dragon leaders, it's simply... It’s the mouse versus the elephant.
Fortunately, the battles between humans on the mainland are not particularly cruel. After all, there are still three major natural disasters outside. So generally speaking, there is basically no massacre of civilians. Even soldiers will receive certain preferential treatment after surrendering. Unless there are special circumstances, they will not be exterminated. Therefore, the people in Pili were relatively stable and did not panic. In their view, it didn't matter whoever became the lord, since they all paid the same taxes anyway. Therefore, most people even view this war with a spectator mentality.
At this time, there were a group of big shots in the nearby garrison camp. It was Grand Duke Shiratori and his dozens of bodyguards. He traveled all night before arriving here at noon. He immediately wrote a letter and gave it to his subordinates to send to the dragon leader army on the opposite side, requesting to meet the leader of the other side at the border tomorrow morning.
