The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 904

Chapter 904 Seven Stone Slabs

Under Kelly’s arrangement, Du Lei and Jeff met soon. The place where they met was not in the Duke’s residence of Jester, but in an old castle.

The castle can be seen to be very quiet, lush and lush in all directions, and it is particularly quiet in the drizzle. Several servants are cleaning the castle. It can be seen that there have been no people living here for a long time. There is a team of guards guarding the outside of the castle, after all, the situation is not stable yet. As the king of the Land of Rain, Jeff is now sitting in the north. If something happens to him, it will be difficult to do.

After all, in a short period of time, not all nobles can accept Jeff, and there are not a few people who secretly assassinate him.

But even if Jeff’s chief guard advised him to take his personal safety into consideration and never show his face, Jeff still waited at the gate of the castle early.

When he saw the two men slowly approaching, he had passed in the first time.

He has seen one of these two men, and that is Lance. Because Lance has been helping him for a period of time recently. He can quickly calm down the north. Lance plays a very important role. No.

As for the other man who looked a little thin and thin, he hadn’t seen him before, but even though he hadn’t seen him, he knew who that person was.

“You must be Mr. Du Lei?” Jeff is very young, and he seems to be in his early twenties. He and Jester are somewhat similar, but compared to Jester’s dark prey, a few more. Divided into tolerance and majesty.

“Yes.” Du Lei nodded slightly.

“Then Mr. Du Lei, please come with me.” Jeff personally led Du Lei to the castle.

“This castle has been passed down from generation to generation by our family. About 200 years ago, we were not the royal family of the Rain Country, but the great nobles of the northern lands. Our ancestors lived in this castle for hundreds of years. It wasn’t until I went to the Sunny Sky City in the south that the place gradually became deserted.” While leading the way, Jeff gave a detailed introduction to the history of the castle and the origin of their family.

Du Lei nodded lightly, and did not answer. About ten minutes later, Gilf led them into a small passage. Several organs were opened along the way. It can be seen that this is a hidden secret room.

“This secret room was designed by our ancestors in order to prevent the fall of the castle during the war, at least to allow the family members to have a place of refuge, but for a long time, this refuge channel was not used. Until later, after the Canglei Empire fell apart, we got something.” Jeff continued to explain.

“Is this thing… a slate?” Du Lei had already guessed and asked softly.

“Mr. Du Lei, you are right. At the beginning, the Canglei Empire had a total of 7 stone slabs, which were held by the founder of the Canglei Empire and the actual helm of the Far East Duke Lin Ye, but later Master Lin Ye went to The Eastern Continent was gone and never returned. It was precisely because of the loss of Master Lin Ye’s seat that the Canglei Empire gradually fell into decline. Finally, at its peak, it suddenly collapsed and disbanded. When the Canglei Empire was disbanded, The several countries that joined the Canglei Empire decided to divide up most of the Canglei Empire’s property on the initiative of the kings.”

“It includes the seven slabs left by the Duke of the Far East, right?” Du Lei asked softly.

“Yes, Mr. Du Lei, you guessed it right. Which ones are included? There are 7 participating countries, each of which is assigned a piece, and the stone slab of our country of rain is stored in the family, where it originated. In the secret passage of the ancient castle.” Jeff nodded and explained.

“So, what is it that you called me here?” Du Lei stopped and asked Jeff what he meant.

“Du Lei, let me explain this to you. Do you know of an organization called Purgatory?” Lance asked.

“Purgatory? When I was still in the Snow Country, I heard about it. It is a very low-key and weird organization.” Du Lei thought for a while and said.

“Du Lei, if you think about it, you actually had an intersection with this purgatory organization before.” Lance reminded.

“There was an intersection a long time ago, when did you mean?”

“On your way to the country of the mountains, I also heard what the leopard tail who went to the country of the mountains with you said, saying that you have met people from purgatory in Herrenburg.” Lance explained, back then He did not participate in the escort, but Du Lei was a member of the escort.

“Herrenborg…they?” After a brief recollection, Durley quickly remembered what happened to Heerrenborg nine years ago.

At that time they met a cult, and the cult was smuggling arms secretly, and the buyer was a few strange-looking people, Du Lei still remembered the appearance of three of them.

And his memory is not just like this, these three people and the other two he knows come from the same organization.

That is, the two people he met when he was in the hot spring village, the night crow, and the cardinal!

“Yes, they are the purgatory!” Lance said affirmatively.

“Then what does this matter have to do with purgatory?” Du Lei is not clear about the affairs of the Canglei Empire, but now it seems that the seven countries that joined the Canglei Empire are all very clear about their internal affairs.

“Purgatory has been searching for the seven slabs recently, trying to gather the slabs together, and find the temple sealed by the Duke of the Far East, in order to obtain the ancient power hidden in it.” Jeff explained.

“Isn’t this very similar to what Jester did?” Du Lei frowned.

“To be precise, my uncle, he was bewitched by others. He tried to gain the power of the seal and realize the so-called ambition, but he didn’t know it. In fact, he was reduced to a tool used by others. “Jerf said with a sigh.

“Is it a ghost? Is he a purgatory?” Du Lei quickly thought of the ghost.

“He is just a peripheral member of Spectre, not a core member.” Jeff seems to know Spectre very well.

“So, Lance, what happened to the slate you sent me before?” Du Lei asked about the slate.

According to what Jeff and Lance said, these seven slabs should belong to the Canglei Empire. After the disintegration of the Canglei Empire, the slabs should be distributed to seven countries and should be owned by the royal family members of the seven countries, but Lance was obviously not a member of the royal family, which made Du Lei feel extraordinarily strange.

“This stone slab was given to me by my grandfather.” Lance explained.

“Lance, your grandpa?” Du Lei frowned.

“Yes, in fact, this stone slab should be in the hands of the royal family of Numa country, and my grandfather is the guard of the former king, so my grandfather has been keeping it in the custody. I also learned about it after returning to Numa country. Something.” Lance explained.

“In other words, the stone slab you gave me, Lance, is actually the stone slab controlled by the swamp country, right?” Du Lei asked again.

“Yes, that’s it.” Lance nodded.

“But why did this stone slab get into your hands and give it to me again?” Du Lei still didn’t understand this question.

“This…” Lance didn’t know how to answer Du Lei for a while.

Lance has always been a very straightforward person, but now he is heaving like him, which is rarely seen in Du Lei’s memory.

“Let me explain this matter. Lance’s grandfather has been attacked by someone from Purgatory and has died.” Kelly next to him saw Lance’s embarrassment, and she knew it was not for Lance. With a good memory, she stood up and answered this question for Lance.

“What? How could this happen?” Du Lei was also a little surprised by this.

“When I just returned home, I saw people from purgatory besieging my grandpa. Actually, I never thought that grandpa was so powerful. One person can fight against three king-tier magicians, which is much better than me. I used to I always thought he was just a drunk old man who loved to drink. I didn’t expect to be so powerful.” Lance scratched his head and said with a smile.

He is a person who writes happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy on his face, and at the same time a person who is very bad at disguising. He can be seen by anyone who recognizes him. At this time, Lance is very sad.

“Then how do you give me the slate?”

“Because at that time I found out that I was being targeted by the purgatory, and they were chased down all the way. In this case, I had no way to keep the slate well, so I asked Messiah to transfer her to Du Lei. I think if it is you, Du Lei, there must be no problem with keeping the slate,” Lance explained.

“That’s it.” Du Lei finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

At this time they had come to the end of the corridor. What was presented in front of them was a large secret room with torches nearby and stored drinking water and food, which was enough for dozens of people to hide for a period of time.

It’s just that the functions that existed here were no longer used for refuge. Under Jeff’s guidance, Du Lei came to the end of the secret room.

At the end is a wall with four statues on either side of the wall.

“These statues are our ancestors and it was their hard work that created our country.” Jeff explained.

Du Lei nodded, and his gaze was placed on the object in the middle of the statue.

This is a slate, exactly the same as the one Lance gave him before.

“Is this the stone slab kept by the Rain Country?” Du Lei’s stone slab belonged to the Swamp Country.

And this one belongs to the country of rain.

“Yes, this is the stone slab that our ancestors got when the Canglei Empire was disbanded, and has been storing it here for many years.” Jeff nodded and said.

“Then now you brought me here, what is this…” Du Lei hesitated, not quite understanding what Jeff meant.

“I want to give this slate to Mr. Du Lei for your safekeeping.” Jeff said seriously.

“What? Me?” Du Lei was a little surprised.

“Yes, the people in purgatory now look at the slate. In fact, if there is no slate, they would not confuse my uncle to rebel openly, so it is said that the slate brought disaster.” Jeff said seriously. .

“Then why do you want to give it to me again?” Du Lei was still a little puzzled.

Because if Jeff wanted to deal with the slate, there should be many ways to do it.

“Because currently in our seven countries, only Du Lei can handle the issue of slate well, and your relationship with other countries is very good. We all trust you. Now purgatory activities are more and more frequent. They have already walked out of the shadows. If they don’t do anything, I have a foreboding that the darkness will swallow the earth one day, and my people will definitely suffer in this catastrophe. Only this thing, I want to avoid it anyway.” Jeff said eagerly.

“Do you want me to remove the stones?” Du Lei frowned.

“In fact, these slates are made of very special materials, which can be changed in shape and size, so you don’t have to worry about the inconvenience of carrying, Du Lei.” Kelly next to him explained.

“Oh? Can this be the case?” Du Lei was a little surprised by this.

“Yes, I will entrust this slab to you, Mr. Du Lei, I believe Mr. Du Lei, you must have a way to save our country and this land.” Jeff asked again.

“Although you said that…” Du Lei was still hesitant.

“Du Lei, when did you become such a mother-in-law? Is this the Du Lei I know?” Lance urged.

“Okay, I see, let me keep this stone slab for the time being.” Du Lei thought for a moment, but he could only accept it.

“That’s great!” Jeff saw Du Lei let go, cheering for a while.

“Then in this way, there will be two slates in your place, Du Lei, in order to avoid being obtained by the purgatory, we should get the other five slates.” Kelly said.

“The other five slabs are… the country of wind, the country of snow, the country of mountains, the country of thunder, and the country of flames?”

“Yes, at present, the relationship between the two countries of Snow Country and Mountain Country and Du Lei is very good. It shouldn’t be difficult for you, Du Lei, to get the slate. The difficulty is the Wind Nation, Thunder Nation and The country of flames is here.” Kelly nodded and said.

“Then let’s next…” Du Lei thought for a moment, thinking about the next step.

At this moment, someone hurried in from outside.

The person who came in was one of Jeff’s guards, and he whispered a word next to Jeff.

“What did you say?” Jeff looked very surprised.

Soon the guard retreated.

“What happened?” Lance asked curiously.

“The Land of Thunder and the Land of Flame are in conflict. These two countries are now declaring war!” Jeff frowned and said.

“Declare war? This time?”
