Chapter 320 Dark Bird

"Haha, don't worry, the old man will definitely not be willing to sell it!" Lao Xie smiled and said, "But, the old man will definitely inherit it if he didn't take anything after he went there. It would be nothing to give you two to play with!"

"Wow, that's great!" Constantine was so happy.

"What about me!" Seeing this, Catherine immediately stood up unyieldingly.

"Haha, you are a warrior, why do you want that thing?" Lao Xie couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"No, I just want it!" Catherine hurriedly said, "Even a warrior can command puppets. Don't forget that we Chaos Knights can release magic. That time I almost chopped you up!"

"Well? Why does it seem like this has become your credit?" Lao Xie couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Is it because of this that I have to send two golden monsters to thank you?"

"Haha, can't it work?" Catherine immediately smiled.

"This world is indeed unreasonable!" Lao Xie then smiled bitterly.

"Okay, stop making trouble!" Constantine then smiled and said, "Are you going to talk about the serious business? Do you think that you would rob us because of the last incident that made Grand Duke Shirato hold a grudge? "

"You haven't told me what the old man did last time?" Lao Xie said hurriedly: "Did you kill the White Bird Knights?"

"Of course not. He was going to destroy the Shiraki Kingdom in the end. The grand duke at that time could not defeat him and was forced to have no choice but to ask the countries around him to judge. Of course, other countries would not speak to him, who was both unreasonable and incompetent? In the end, he was forced to hand over his son and sent three towns to the Stephen family to calm the matter. Of course, the three cities were also classified as the Griffin Kingdom."

"It's really miserable to lose power and humiliate the country!" Lao Xie sneered: "I deserve it!"

"This is not the end, it's so miserable!" Constantine continued: "Because his son was publicly executed, it was very miserable. In addition to being old, the old Duke of Shirato died, so he could only let the third heir, the current Duke of Shirato ascend the throne. At that time, he was still a young man in his thirties and forties, and his own strength was not good. The elite troops of the country suffered heavy damage, so the surrounding countries, especially the Dragon Corps and the Griffon Kingdom, took the opportunity to erode the Duke of Shirato. Although the Duke of Shirato was sleek and quick, he eventually led the Duke of Shirato to escape the fate of destruction, but he still lost nearly half of his territory."

"What about later?" Lao Xie continued to ask.

"Later, the ability of this Shiragoon Grand Duke was even more amazing. He first stabilized the Dragon Leader through personal means. He smashed a large number of gold coins to satisfy the Griffin Kingdom. After gaining a foothold, he then used various soft methods to get back a lot of the lost land and deceived land. Of course, overall, he still lost a lot. But this is not bad. Moreover, the current Shiragoon Principality not only has strong national strength, but also the Grand Duke himself has successfully entered the Holy Land. In addition, the newly formed Shiragoon Knights are more elite than before and have a larger number, which finally has the power to protect themselves."

"But even so, the strength of the White Bird Principal is not as strong as that of the Dragon Corps, right?" Lao Xie suddenly said.

"The high-end combat power is naturally far less than that of the fierce Dragon Warrior clan, but the middle and lower armies are stronger. After all, the White Bird Principality has a large population and has money to carry out equipment and training, which is much better than the small poor place in Longling." Constantine smiled.

"If they fight, who will win?" Lao Xie asked hurriedly.

"If Longan has not entered the legend, the White Bird should be slightly better. After all, they have money and can spend money to hire experts from the Holy Realm level to deal with Dragon Warriors, but after Longan advances, they are naturally still powerful in the Dragon Corps. After all, legendary masters cannot be hired even if they spend money!" Constantine said.

"It seems that Grand Duke Shiragou does have the motivation to rob us and blame Long Ling. However, this kind of thing is obviously more radical and risky, not like a calm person doing it." Lao Xie frowned and said, "Do you think it was Grand Duke Shiragou doing it?"

"I don't think it looks like it!" Constantine said the first: "I have dealt with him. This guy is very calm and composed. He is the kind of person who can't take risks and should not do such stupid things."

"I don't look like it!" Catherine then said, "Although you have a grudge, it's been decades since the incident. Why do they have to take revenge this time? From the perspective of military power, they seem to be not ready to start a war, right? Just robbing a batch of goods is far from hurting you."

"Forget it, I don't think about it anymore!" Lao Xie, who couldn't figure it out, said impatiently: "When you arrive in the capital and receive the news, make a judgment!"

After Lao Xie and others entered the capital of the White Bird Principality, they had no time to see the prosperous scene here, so they immediately came to the branch of the Heglis family here to listen to the report of the person in charge here.

As a big family, in a commercially developed area like the White Bird Country, there will naturally be no one to place people. The Haiglis family has a large chamber of commerce here, and thousands of people work for them. The headquarters of the chamber of commerce is also set up in a prosperous area. The person in charge is the family's confidant, a shrewd old man named Difudi.

Due to the powerful Heglis family as the background, Defo still had some tricks in the upper class of the White Bird Principality. After receiving news from Constantine, he immediately mobilized all his subordinates and contacts to inquire about various news.

Constany was also full of expectations for him, so after several people came to the living room of the headquarters, they immediately asked impatiently: "Diffus, what news have you heard?"

"Sorry, apart from buying dozens of barbarian warriors in the slave market here, no other reliable information was found." Defu smiled helplessly.

After hearing this, Constantine frowned immediately and couldn't help but blame, "You are half a local snake. Didn't you find out who was betrayed those slaves?"

"Those people are too mysterious and cannot be investigated. I spent a lot of money to get some information from the people involved in the transaction that day. I only found out that those people were very sneaky. They traded outside the city late at night, and they all ended in less than half an hour. The guys who sold the people were all wearing black masks, and they spoke strangely, for fear of being recognized." Difu then smiled bitterly: "Later, I sent someone to inquire along the way, but unfortunately there was no doubt about the news. The subordinates were incompetent and really couldn't figure out their origins!"

"Forget it, it's not your fault. After all, a month has passed. If they want to deliberately conceal it, how could you find out their true feelings in a short time!" Constantine then comforted him.

At this moment, Lao Xie suddenly said, "What's going on with you?"

"Report to my son-in-law!" Difu then immediately said: "You asked me to investigate the recent movements of the Duchy of White Bird. I am extremely attentive to this. I can guarantee that the 50,000 regular troops of the Duchy of White Bird and the most elite Knights of White Bird have not been transferred in the past few months. Especially the Knights of White Bird, even if there is an abnormal transfer of 100 people, they were stationed in the White Bird City, just as my eyes were low and my every move was under the surveillance of everyone. This is absolutely true!"

"Where is the private guard of Duke Shiraki?" Lao Xie asked hurriedly.

"There is no abnormal mobilization. In recent years, Grand Duke Shirago has been practicing peacefully in the city. He has never moved anywhere, and his guard has never moved!" Difu hurriedly said, "I have confirmed this from several channels, and I will definitely not be wrong!"

"Is that true?" Lao Xie was suddenly a little surprised, and then said with a little doubt: "Which channels did you determine it?"

"One is the official. I entrusted acquaintances to inquire, but there was no normal transfer. The second is the food. I queried from the place where they were served. At least there was no abnormality in the past few months, and there was no sudden news of a group of people. The third is that I bribed a few people directly from them to inquire, but I did not find any traces of transfer. Of course, if there were fewer people, it might not be found, but if the other party had more than one hundred people, I would definitely investigate and deal with it!" Difu explained.

"Very good, you're wrong!" Lao Xie had to admit that Difu's work was very meticulous. Although the result was contrary to his speculation, he still recognized the other party's conclusion.

"Then it's strange!" Constantine frowned and said, "If the elite knights of Shiragoon did not move and the generals did not move, then who robbed our goods? You must know that it takes at least a few hundred people, and you must be a confidant, otherwise it will be troublesome to leak the news!"

"Can't it be that someone else did it at all?" Catherine suddenly said, "Maybe you were wrong from the beginning!"

"Ah, by the way, we were wrong!" Lao Xie suddenly said: "But we were not wrong in the target we were locked, but in the wrong in underestimating the other party. I said, even if our big families have dark power, then people like Grand Duke Shiraki cannot only have these armies on the surface, right?"
