Even Krober, who had once emptied the Crab Claw family, was shocked for a moment by the scene before him.
The Blue Flame Grass Family has indeed accumulated a lot of wealth. Their currency reserves are at least two or three times that of the Crab Claw Family, and the number of gem equipment is also far more than that of the Crab Claw Family.
This is because the main force of the family brought most of the gem equipment to participate in the war.
Krober took the equipment made of orange gem in his hand. Without using fighting spirit to stimulate it, Krober felt that his mental power was slowly increasing.
He was secretly surprised that the orange gem could actually enhance the wearer's mental strength.
Although its bonus to fighting spirit is not high, it is a very precious treasure for those who are stronger than Earth Knight.
Oh yes, there are also magicians, they also rely on mental power to make a living.
There are only two pieces of equipment made with orange gems, one is in the style of a headband and the other is in the style of a bracelet.
Krober doesn't like headband-style accessories, or rather, he doesn't like headband accessories other than the purple gem headdress.
So he naturally put the orange gem bracelet on his wrist.
"Everything ready to load! Take away!"
The gains from looting the Blue Flame Grass family this time were huge, and at least they would have no problem surviving this war.
Krober also secretly signaled to the Dragon Breath Knights that they could choose some appropriate items as their trophies.
As expected, they almost all agreed to choose a piece of gem equipment as their trophy.
In this way, the knights of the Dragon's Breath Knights, each holding a piece of jewel equipment, began to load all the items in the treasure house into the car to take away.
But Kroeber's attention was attracted by a thick book.
"Blue Flame"?
The Blue Flame Grass family is really straightforward in naming...
After all, this is a secret book of intermediate fighting spirit with fire attribute, which can be cultivated to the level of Sky Knight and is the foundation of an earl's family.
In terms of value alone, this Dou Qi Secret Book is much more valuable than those gem equipment.
Krober did not intend to keep it for himself. He planned to make a copy to enrich the collection of the Amethyst Rose Family. This book would be left in the warehouse of Saint Gold Castle to gather dust.
It was not known whether they were self-taught or the members of the Dragon's Breath Knights already had experience in raiding houses, but in just one night they completed the assassination, search, loading and transportation tasks.
————
The night was as dark as ink, the darkest moment before dawn, and more than a dozen large carriages were galloping along the road out of the city.
These carriages were filled with various supplies and personnel, and the ruts were deeply imprinted on the ground, indicating that each carriage was overloaded.
Behind the carriage, a huge castle was engulfed in flames.
This castle is called Blue Flame Castle. It was the residence of the Blue Flame Grass family, but now it has become a ruin.
Flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke billowed, lighting up the sky of the entire city.
Inside the castle, the fire raged, spreading relentlessly.
The once magnificent building is now only left with ruins, and its former glory is no longer there.
And in the ruins, there are countless charred corpses, these are members of the Blue Flame Grass family.
Inside a carriage, Krober sat quietly, gazing at the scene outside the window.
He held a ball of fighting spirit in his hand, which was faintly flashing with purple-gold light.
Suddenly, he felt a faint breath and turned to look at a corner of the carriage.
There, a figure was slowly sitting up. She was Shirley Blue Flame Grass.
She rubbed her temples, seemingly not fully awake from her coma.
Kroeber asked softly, "Awake?"
Shirley raised her head and looked at Krober with confused eyes.
Krober looked at Shirley, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He sighed softly and retracted the fighting spirit in his hand into his body.
He knew that this action was a devastating blow to the Blue Flame Grass Family, but he did not feel the slightest bit of guilt.
"Where...where are we?" Shirley finally regained some consciousness and tried hard to figure out the situation.
Krober replied calmly:
"Just left Luoyan City not long ago."
After hearing Krober's answer, Shirley fell into silence. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes dull.
Her originally beautiful face now looked extremely haggard and sad, which made people feel pity for her.
It was obvious that she was not as strong and brave as she had been said to be, as her family had been massacred and her wealth had been plundered.
Faced with such a cruel reality, even the strongest people would find it difficult to bear such a blow.
"Shirley Blue Flame Grass is dead. I suggest you choose a new name for yourself."
Krober chose to spare Shirley's life not to cause trouble for himself. His other half was destined to be Grand Duchess Veronica, not Shirley. He spared her life only because he saw that her values were relatively normal and she was indeed very pitiful.
"Aren't you going to take me back to your family?"
Shirley pursed her lips and said.
"My suggestion is that you change your name and live somewhere else. Your strength as an Earth Knight is more than enough for you to live a comfortable life."
Kroeber gave her what he thought was a good suggestion.
"I don't! I want to follow you! You said you would take me!"
Kroeber held his forehead.
"I only said that I would take you away from Blue Flame Castle, but I didn't say that I would take you back to my own family."
Kroeber had no intention of placing a time bomb next to him. He just gave Shirley a chance to start a new life, not a chance to stay by his side like a sticky candy.
"I won't! Since I'm already a dead man, then..."
Before Shirley could finish her words, Victor's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage.
"Prime Minister, we have left Luoyan City and entered the territory of the Golden Duchy. I have sent someone to Saint Gold Castle with a message, asking them to block the road and try to prevent this matter from leaking out."
Hearing Victor's voice, Krober's face darkened at first, then he sighed helplessly and said:
"I understand. Tell everyone to speed up and get back to Saint Gold Castle as soon as possible."
After saying that, he turned and looked at Shirley.
"I'm sorry, Miss Shirley, you already know our identities, so you've lost the opportunity to start a new life. Now there are only two paths before you:
The first is that I silenced him.
Second...you must swear an oath to become my follower, and you must also swear an oath to the Deep Purple Magic Gem Dragon!"
"Damn it Victor, just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you when I get back!"
Kroeber thought silently in his heart.
