After pretending to carefully select in the warehouse, Gray Lint picked up a butterfly-shaped coral stone that looked quite pleasing to the eye, and turned to look at Rupert:
"Mr. Philip, what is its price?"
Rupert looked at the local-looking Gray Lint and did not dare to offer too high a price:
"7 fils."
This is Intis's high-denomination currency, and 2 Felkin can be exchanged for approximately 1 Gold List of Loen.
"Okay, I want it."
Felkin…
Oops, I just made an Intis face and came here, but I forgot to exchange the corresponding currency in advance. Gray Linte's hand reaching for the wallet suddenly stopped, remembering that his pocket was full of Loen banknotes.
One thing.
As he secretly realized something was wrong, he turned his eyes to the blond girl next to him for help.
Carol understood immediately, took out a 10-fil bill and handed it to him, showing just the right amount of helplessness:
"Why did you forget your wallet again?"
Quick reaction and great performance!
Gray Linte secretly praised it, took the 10 fils, handed it to Rupert, and activated "bribery" at the same time.
"Tsk, sir, you and your wife have a very good relationship."
Rupert smiled pointedly at Gray Linte, took the banknote, and prepared to give change.
Originally, he wanted to say "girlfriend" based on the age of the two of them, but seeing that Gray Linte had left all the money in Carol's hands, he temporarily changed his tone.
Gray Linte was startled for a moment. When he realized what Rupert meant, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Are you also a brain-boosting emperor?
He and Carol were indeed lovers by pretending to be lovers. They were just using this to fool Rupert, covering up the fact that they were from Loen, and avoiding alerting him. But what he didn't expect was that Rupert's mind would change in the blink of an eye.
He made up the image of a husband who left the money to his wife and pretended to be just a man without a wallet outside.
That’s okay too.
Seeing Rupert take the banknote without warning while speaking, Gray Linte grinned slightly.
While taking the other party's change of 3 fils, he nodded, seeming to agree with what he said.
Then he looked at the warehouse and said casually:
"Old sir, this warehouse is not small. It would be a waste to use such a large space to store these sundries. Why not sell it and rent a small space? Is it an industry passed down from our ancestors?"
His change of topic was a bit stiff and abrupt, but it still barely fit the scene. At most, Rupert thought the focus was strange and nosy.
Under normal circumstances, Rupert would either make a few vague remarks or simply avoid talking about such a covert inquiry. But it was different now. With the blessing of "bribery", he felt deeply for this young man.
Very kind and willing to tell him things that don't involve core secrets.
He nodded:
"Yes, one of my ancestors was once a nobleman, and this is the inheritance he left behind."
At the same time, Carol, who had long been "connected" to Graylingt, broadcast Rupert's superficial thoughts into Graylingt's mind:
"Well, the ancestor Darhan is indeed considered a noble. I am not lying to him."
Darhan!
Gray Lint was refreshed. This was the real name of the descendant of Tudor. Unexpectedly, things were much easier than he thought. Rupert seemed to have not dealt with his own spirit - at least not the memory of Darhan.
processed.
"Oh? What kind of person is that? In the history of the kingdom, I don't seem to have heard of any nobles appearing in this land?"
He asked half-guidingly and half-provocatively, trying to get more ideas out of him so that Carol could read them.
"Oh, that's a longer history, longer than the history of the kingdom."
He mumbled something, shook his head and continued:
"The specific information has not been handed down. I just know that there is such an ancestor."
It seems that even with the charm bonus, the most direct questioning can only go to this depth! Gray Linte is a little regretful. This is the reason why his "bribery" is not strong enough. This extraordinary ability can only be achieved by reaching the demigod level.
produce qualitative changes.
At this time, Rupert’s true thoughts were:
Hey, superficial boy, who told you that the ancestors of Darhan were nobles of Intis. When His Majesty Tudor was in charge of the Northern Continent, the Sauron family was just a follower of others.
However, who is this kid? Why did he suddenly ask about the ancestors of Darhan? Is it intentional or a coincidence? Hey... Could it be that someone found out about the ancestors' tombs from somewhere?...
...Then he probably wouldn't have thought that the ancestors of Darhan, who perfectly inherited His Majesty Tudor's wisdom and decisiveness, would actually use their own relics to set up traps and punish those who offended them... If you are really those despicable thieves, then go to hell.
Bar!
"Wisdom and decisiveness? I think it's cunning and madness, right? What about the trap? There are really unexpected gains!"
Gray Linte muttered a few words in his heart, and asked other questions in a circumstantial way, but Rupert didn't go any further to reveal the memory of the trap. He didn't know whether it was because he didn't know the specific situation or he had already used Extraordinary.
I have the ability to process my own memory.
After the first round of interrogation was over, Gray Lint directly showed his fangs, violently restrained him, and handed him over to Carol for channeling.
"Are you a descendant of Darhan Tudor? His ruins are indeed hidden in the Suniya Sea? What are the things in the ruins?"
These are several questions that Carol has preset, and their answers are exactly the same as the information provided by her mother.
"What about the trap left by Darhan?"
This was a question that Carol temporarily added after Gray Lint's cross-examination.
"I don't know, I just know that it is dangerous enough and can definitely kill some people with evil intentions.
I only know that it is not an ordinary trap, but a trap with mysterious significance."
Has a mysterious meaning...
Gray Linte tapped his forehead with his index finger, remembering that Darhan also held a "Hunter" path semi-god-level sealed item, which was one of his goals.
…………
Several more questioning methods were used, but Carol was unable to ask for more detailed information. So after erasing Rupert's relevant memories, the two came to a secluded corner where they could converse.
"Do you think there is a possibility that this ruins itself is a trap?"
Gray Lint spoke first and gave a guess of his own.
"What's the meaning?"
"I think if it only relies on Darhan's own extraordinary characteristics, or on the demigod-level sealed object of the 'Hunter' path, the trap designed will not threaten the real demigod, right?
Then what else does he talk about ‘punishing the offender’?
So is it possible that the real fatal danger in the trap is not based on these two demigod-level things, but is based on other reasons?"
After listening to Gray Linte's analysis, Carol suddenly realized that she was too concerned about this matter, and even lost her most basic calmness. She subconsciously followed the information from Rupert's cross-examination.
Let’s think about it from the perspective of two demigod-level things.
She nodded and said with great agreement:
"If the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence Four were to be naturally formed as a sealed object, the power would be reduced by several percent, and without enough wisdom, the sealed object would not be able to play its corresponding role.
The most important thing is that the people who found his tomb must be wary of the extraordinary abilities that may appear inside, and they are not easy to trap.
Therefore, the source of this so-called ‘trap’’s power should indeed not be the Sealed Artifact.”
That’s what she said, but she immediately changed the subject:
"But we still have to pay attention to this. We cannot ignore the dangers of these two demigods just because Darhan has other traps."
"As for the possibilities of other traps..."
Carol licked her dry lips and said with a slight headache:
"I'll ask my mother again."
"If there are no clues at all by then, you can quit this exploration directly."
She didn't mention keeping it secret because she hadn't told Glalint the specific location yet, and the character shown by Glalint was worthy of her trust.
Gray Linte nodded sincerely and did not try to show off or say any harsh words that he had to go.
Although the specific situation is still unclear, since he clearly knows that it is a "trap", if he still dares to rush in, it is not called taking an risk, but seeking death.
