A few kilometers west of the King of Marino capital, there is a steep mountain standing alone on the plain. In the past, only a small castle was built on the top of the mountain due to water resources.

More than ten years ago, after countless years of hard work, the small castle finally dug down through the mountain, dug aquifers, and had a well enough for the royal palace to use.

In this era, without Artoria, the digging of wells was done by manual digging, and the biggest problem with digging deep wells in the castle on the mountain was how to maintain the air circulation down the well.

So people used wooden boards to separate the wells into two sides. Workers dig on one side and lit a fire on the other side. They used the heat-raising of the air to drive the airflow to maintain the underground ventilation. They dig alternately on both sides, and it would be fine to dig a depth of 200 meters.

Now that the well has been dug, it is very easy to lift the water with a winch.

Pulling such a large winch is not about manpower, but about building a large wooden wheel like a hamster wheel to make the donkey motivate it.

With the water source guaranteed, it is imperative to build a new palace in a better terrain.

After more than ten years of construction, Gorgio IV finally waited for the day when the new palace was completed.

As night fell, he was admiring the newly bought expensive jewelry in the banquet hall of the New Palace.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Gorgio IV, who was over fifty years old, shook her head and said, "Such a large flaming coral is rare in the world. I have inquired about it. It is not as wide as it is, and it is not as wide as it is."

"I can't see it during the day. Once the lights around you are turned off at night, turn on the view light and shine the light directly on. This coral tree is like a burning flame. I've never seen it before."

Behind him, Guardieri, dressed as a scholar, complimented: "The owner of the new palace will be the focus of attention at the inauguration ceremony of three days, and will be sung by the whole mainland."

Jorgio IV suddenly changed the topic and asked coldly: "Is there any latest news about Meccarden?"

Guardieri immediately reported: "The news came from cornflowers. Madden bought him the information of the royal family, the Imperial Guards, the wizards and the princesses, as well as maps of the new and old royal palaces."

"He has been in the casino since yesterday and lost three or four hundred gold coins."

Gorgio IV nodded slightly, then asked the chief court wizard with a smile: "Do you think he is a fool?"

Guardieri also smiled and replied: "It must not."

"Not it's enough." Gorgio IV sneered, "Young people are young and energetic. If they suffer losses, they will always get their face back."

"If it were him, what would you do?"

Guardieri looked at the flame coral tree with red light reflecting in front of her eyes and said with certainty: "If I knew that your Majesty, you just bought rare treasures from the Super Viagra Consortium to be exhibited at the palace's inauguration ceremony, I would make it worthless."

Jorgio IV immediately ordered: "Checoli, hurry to Liberty City and stare at Meccaden in person, and release the news."

"If he disappears before everyone's eyes for a long time, he will repay you as soon as possible."

"Take the palace drawings over and tell Cornflower to give him all the real information tomorrow at noon."

"Guardieri, you are now preparing here. The magical materials in the warehouse are for you to use. Whether we can get the ransom depends on you."

The commander of the Imperial Guard, who stood at the gate of the banquet hall, served as a bodyguard, immediately left the new palace and rushed to Liberty City.

As soon as he left, a girl in a long dress walked into the banquet hall with the help of her maid.

"Father." She asked softly, "Who are you going to catch?"

Gorgio IV walked quickly over and helped her daughter to the wall where the flame coral was placed, and grabbed her hand and let her touch the extremely expensive treasure.

"I bought some stones from the sea to look good." The king said to his daughter gently, "I heard that a thief was coming to steal it, so he made a mouse clip to hold him in. Then he can exchange him for money to cure your eyes."

Princess Saneva gently felt the touch of the coral with her fingers and said in surprise: "How come this stone looks like a tree?"

Jorgio IV explained: "This is when coral is mentioned in the book, it will grow slowly."

"Oh, the sea..." Saneva's face showed a longing expression, but her eyes were dead and had no reaction to the outside world.

After the princess left, Guardieri whispered to Jurgio IV, "My Majesty, I am worried that Meccarden will be detrimental to the princess."

Jorgio IV shook his head and said, "I still know about McGarden. He has always had a bottom line in doing things. The purpose of this revenge is to warn us not to mess with him and the people around him again, so his only goal is me."

"Elf Princess Elizabeth is an upright elf. She does not allow her disciple to hurt a weak woman."

"If...ah...it would be a good thing if she had McGarden's child."

Guardieri remained silent after hearing this. The king and queen's only child were blind, and the impact of this on the future of the country was immeasurable.

The king has many illegitimate children. These illegitimate children work hard for the illusory "future", but they are just tool people.

Gorgio IV also lost interest in continuing to look at Coral. He asked Gualtieri to arrange the trap better without revealing flaws, and then left.

There, Chekoli quickly prepared after receiving the order, and it was already late at night when he rode his motorcycle to the casino in Liberty City.

Then... he saw a scene that made people live.

There is a small stage in the casino lobby, which regularly allows girls who can't afford to wear clothes to play programs to help them liven up.

However, at this moment, a man in red clothes was dancing on it.

Although the man in red was wearing a mask, Chekoli, with sharp eyes, still saw the maple leaf heraldic Earl's Right Ring on his hand.

Chekoli asked the maid on the side: "What's going on?"

The maid covered her mouth and replied with a smile: "This guest bragged with another guest in the afternoon and then bet that he could dance from sunset to sunrise, and the bet was one thousand gold coins!"

Chekoli stared at the person on the stage intently and found that the man was dancing well, with a stern and eye-catching dance, not having cramps there.

His eyes were gathered in that man's hand, and finally confirmed that it was the Count McGarden's power ring.

After confirming the other party's identity, he sneered. This trick of creating momentum first and then finding opportunities to sneak around is too old-fashioned. It is as ridiculous as playing acrobatics with a monkey after he is prepared.
