Seeing this situation, Mai Raven suddenly knew something.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He tried his best to sneer in a calm tone.
"Think about it, Prince Carter will definitely die before you take action."
"And even if I die, the church can quickly elect a new bishop."
"With the giant city of Lentax as the capital, the church's apostolic group will soon expand to more than five million."
"At that time, we will join any force that opposes you."
On the way here, Zong Shen discussed with him the possible situations he might encounter.
Among them is that Archduke Jonathan gave up on Carter and chose to fight head-on.
Zong Shen, who knew that Prince Carter and Jonathan were related by blood, planned to squeeze that guy's fatherly love as much as possible, and if that didn't work, he would resort to other means.
Seeing Prince Carter being held to the neck with a sharp knife, Grand Duke Jonathan's face still showed some emotion.
Although he was a little drifting after waking up.
But Prince Carter is his own flesh and blood after all, and although Carter is useless, he still has the status of a prince. Using him as a shield, many troubles can be easily solved.
If he came out on his own and said he wanted to become king, he would probably face resistance from the same enemies.
Thinking of this, Archduke Jonathan's murderous intention was relieved a lot.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the two of them.
"Okay, let's talk about the conditions."
He tapped his knuckles lightly on the table and said with a stern expression.
Mai Raven breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Even if his eyesight is not as good as Zong Shen's, he can still tell that the person surrounded by water elements must be a strong guard-level person, and he is also from the elemental spellcasting system.
Even with Zong's repeated assurances, he still couldn't help but feel terrified when facing a strong man of this level.
Without thinking too much, Mai Raven bravely raised a finger.
"A huge city."
“A very good deal.”
"He is the second prince of the kingdom. This is something we witnessed together in front of the ancestral hall."
Grand Duke Jonathan tilted his head and suddenly laughed mockingly.
"The former Carter was worth five giant cities in my heart."
"The current Carter is not worth even one."
"I know what kind of kid he is. Just a name can't change Jucheng."
His words made Mai Raven suddenly feel a chill in his heart.
Just when he was thinking about how to answer.
Zong Shen, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, and the first words he said made everyone at the scene freeze.
"Is Your Excellency the Duke willing to watch his own flesh and blood and that of the Queen die like this?"
"Even if your Excellency has many heirs, Carter should still be the only one with the blood of the legitimate king."
When Zong Shen spoke, he deliberately adjusted his vocal cords, making his voice particularly hoarse and obscure.
This matter is an absolute secret, and there are no more than five people in the entire continent who know about it.
Even the confidants around Archduke Jonathan don’t know.,
Therefore, this news instantly triggered their attention.
Even the mysterious water element guardian's vague face hidden in the water element showed a look of surprise.
The scene fell silent.
Archduke Jonathan suddenly stood up from his chair.
A pair of shining eyes stared at Zong Shen.
"you…"
Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.
Because he saw information belonging to the lord on Zong Shen.
"Are you a lord?"
"Rosen?"
It can be seen that his observation authority is similar to that of ordinary lords.
Only simple information including name and number can be seen.
So it was just right for Zong Shen to disguise himself through the strategy module in advance.
"interesting."
"It seems that His Excellency the Grand Duke has also had an adventure."
The identity of the other party was revealed in one word, but the guy in front of him was not as frightened as Aaron Rudy and Ernie Edwards. Instead, he was somewhat confident.
This was far beyond Grand Duke Jonathan's expectations.
"How about it? Your Excellency, would you like to have a good chat or do something about it?"
"I can guarantee that that lovely water demigod can't do anything to me."
Zong Shen spoke again, his words filled with strong confidence.
Such a performance made Grand Duke Jonathan murmur in his heart.
The self-confidence that had just risen was suppressed again.
The guy named Rosen in front of him is obviously different from Aaron Rudy and Ernie Edwards.
Especially the strong confidence hidden in the words made him feel a little uneasy.
He can tell whether a person is lying by the tone of his voice.
The other party's strong self-confidence is definitely not without reason.
And as a lord, the fact that he was mixed up with Mai Raven was enough to show that it was not simple.
At the same time, he thought of another possibility.
"Is Mai Raven also awakening?"
This incident left a knot in his throat.
Assuming Mai Raven really awakens, his pride will be shattered immediately.
But he didn't know that Mai Raven had indeed changed, but it was not an awakening.
Instead, he became a subject under Zong Shen.
Although he is an opportunistic citizen and not very loyal, he is considered a heroic talent after all, so he has some corresponding permissions.
This made Grand Duke Jonathan a little unsure.
"Huh, okay, let's talk about it."
"Bring in two chairs!"
He raised his hand and ordered.
Soon a waiter brought two chairs.
Zong Shen and Mai Raven sat down one after another, more than ten meters away from Grand Duke Jonathan.
Then Grand Duke Jonathan frowned again and waved his hand to let those legendary powerhouses disperse.
Only the water demigod was left in the tent.
As for the secret of Prince Carter’s life experience, it’s not too late to deal with it afterwards.
You must know that after he awakened, he was given a control method similar to a loyalty system.
It is not difficult to keep the guys under your command secret.
At this time, Grand Duke Jonathan looked uncertain.
"Say your terms."
"Don't try to trade Carter for a giant city."
"Now any giant city under my command that is under actual control is valuable."
His tone was firm.
Hearing his words, Zong Shen smiled softly.
"Hehehehe..."
