However, the Fifth Prince was a little too emotional at the moment, and Lin Tao couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. He immediately turned his head and looked at Nong He who was also on guard.
Nong He nodded: "What he said is true. The person he mentioned is my sister."
What? The two actually have such a relationship? Only then did Lin Tao understand why the two of them acted as if they knew each other well when they met.
"It is well known among all the princes that the Fifth Prince has no intention of becoming the Emperor. However, this kind of thing should not be leaked to the outside world, so some forces have come to rely on him. However, the Fifth Prince has no intention of paying attention to these forces, so he is repeatedly ignored by the Ninth Prince."
"However, given the Ninth Prince's cruelty and vigilance, I'm afraid that the Fifth Prince's attitude will sooner or later become a thorn in his side, so from the beginning I did not recommend him to be with my sister."
"But sometimes women's minds are hard to figure out." Nong He sighed again: "I understand her thoughts, so I will meet up with the Fifth Prince to see if I can find an opportunity to successfully get rid of the Ninth Prince."
Obviously, Nong He's sister also has feelings for the Fifth Prince, and she also understands the Fifth Prince's painstaking efforts.
When Lin Tao heard this, his eyebrows suddenly raised. The Fifth Prince actually had no intention of seizing the throne. If he had really accepted Tong Qiu's suggestion and joined the Fifth Prince's army, it would probably not have had any effect. In the end, the Fifth Prince would have just been sent to the Ninth Prince obediently.
It's really fate.
When Lin Tao had no intention of joining the Fifth Prince, the Fifth Prince, who had no intention of becoming emperor, instead wanted to find someone to get rid of the Ninth Prince, and the answer turned out to be just for one person.
However, if he put himself in the shoes of Lin Tao and Lu Mengchen, perhaps Lin Tao would also make some sacrifices for Lu Mengchen, as he understood the Fifth Prince's mentality.
"Besides transferring those two level seven warriors away, what else can you provide?" Lin Tao didn't nod nor deny, but asked.
Obviously, Lin Tao has agreed.
The fifth prince suddenly came to his senses. He rummaged around in his pocket and took out a small card, which he handed to Lin Tao.
"This is……"
When Lin Tao saw the card, he recognized it before he even took it. It was the crystal card armor used by the Seventh Prince!
When the Fifth Prince took out the card of the crystal armor, Nong He had been secretly observing Lin Tao. Seeing the change in Lin Tao's eyes, Nong He's eyes flashed, but he intercepted the Fifth Prince's hand and snatched the card.
"Nong He, you..." The Fifth Prince was shocked.
Lin Tao also frowned secretly and looked over in confusion.
"Lin Tao, it's already this time. I want to know if you have any unknown secrets." Nong He asked in a deep voice.
Lin Tao narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
The fifth prince also looked suspicious.
"I don't know what methods you have, but I can feel that you wanted to leave immediately when you saw the fifth prince, and I already noticed something unusual when I was at the Mengchen Chamber of Commerce." Nong He said here, his tone condensed, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you hiding something that you dare not show in front of the royal family of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire?"
Seeing that Lin Tao still narrowed his eyes and said nothing, Nong He could not help but ask in a stern voice: "Lin Tao, tell us, do you have the Royal Blood Curse on you?"
When these words were spoken, the Fifth Prince was shocked. He took a few steps back with a look of shock on his face before he stopped. Then he looked at Lin Tao with a shocked look from time to time.
The royal blood curse will only be inflicted on those who have killed members of the royal family. As a member of the royal family, when facing such a person, one will still be nervous and afraid to have too much contact with him.
Lin Tao frowned. He had expected Nong He to have some guesses about this, but he didn't expect him to mention it at this time.
"Lin Tao, I can still hold on for 50 seconds." At this time, Zeng reminded secretly.
50 seconds?
Given the current situation, there is not enough time.
With a whoosh and a long sigh, Lin Tao secretly ordered: "Zhen, retract the radio waves."
"Lin Tao, are you sure?" Zeng hesitated.
Lin Tao nodded. Since the Fifth Prince had already mentioned it clearly, even if he killed the Ninth Prince, it would help him solve the consequences of the royal blood curse. And it was for this reason that Lin Tao wanted to kill the Ninth Prince.
Sometimes, keeping things hidden may not be a bad thing, but once they are revealed, it is another matter.
After becoming alert, Nong He deliberately brought this up, and Lin Tao probably understood what was going on. It seemed that the reason why he plotted against Lin Tao in the first place was probably because of this scene.
The Fifth Prince took out the crystal card armor, which meant that he was also determined to give it a try.
Lin Tao has Salon's adventurer spaceship. If he changes his mind after taking the crystal card armor, or joins the Ninth Prince, or has other ideas, then the Fifth Prince will definitely be in a desperate situation.
At this moment, Nong He wanted to get hold of Lin Tao's handle in his hand first, so as to force Lin Tao to never go back on his word after agreeing to the conditions of the Fifth Prince, but to actually implement them.
In other words, the Fifth Prince was confident in Lin Tao, but Nong He was worried in his heart. It was not because Nong He was suspicious by nature, but because he was a cautious analyst. Whenever he encountered something, he had to make multiple assumptions.
Moreover, even the current Lin Tao would no longer entrust everything to someone when he just met him.
Because the world of adventurers is different from the world of insects. Everyone has his own selfish desires. Sometimes, no one dares to imagine what consequences will occur when such selfish desires exceed certain limits.
Nong He was planning to exchange leverage with each other so that neither side would go back on their word.
What's more, the Seventh Prince killed by Lin Tao was no longer the Seventh Prince, but a bug-man. Since the Fifth Prince understood the righteousness of the cause, it would not arouse his disgust even if it was exposed.
After getting Lin Tao's repeated consent, Zeng also retracted the special radio waves. As soon as the radio waves were retracted, there were a few hissing sounds, and the detection energy in Lin Tao's body seemed to be absorbed by something. Suddenly, a layer of red light burst out from his body, dyeing his whole body a blood-red color.
Lin Tao could feel that the source of the telepathic energy that stimulated his body was the Fifth Prince in front of him.
At the same time as the red light burst out from Lin Tao's body, changes also occurred on the Fifth Prince's body. A white light with a hint of light green also flashed and emerged from the Fifth Prince's body.
Seeing the changes in the two people, Nong He's pupils suddenly shrank. The fifth prince was also shocked and stepped back repeatedly: "Lin Tao, you...you..."
"Lin Tao, which prince did you kill?" Nong He asked sternly. At the same time, he held the crystal armor tightly in his hand, as if he would wear it at any time.
The crystal armor on a third-level telepathist naturally cannot withstand the attack of a sixth-level telepathist, but Nong He can ensure that he can escape unscathed.
Although he is not on good terms with the Ninth Prince, he can also use the Ninth Prince's power to eliminate Lin Tao.
"Seventh Prince." Lin Tao said softly. After a pause, he spoke again: "The Seventh Prince I killed is no longer the Seventh Prince, but a bug man."
“Insect man?” The Fifth Prince was stunned, and Nong He was even more shocked: “You… you have killed an insect man?”
"Since you also know that I am riding Sharon's spaceship, you should also know that Sharon's spaceship has entered the Star of Despair." Lin Tao said.
"That's right. According to our information channels, we have investigated the whereabouts of Sharon's spaceship. They once entered the Star of Despair, and came out in less than a month. Then they went straight back to the Star of Zeying." Nong He nodded.
As an analyst, he still has this ability, but what happened after entering the Star of Despair is not something that his information channels can collect, so he doesn't know the situation of Sharon and others.
"Yes, I have also heard that the Seventh Prince really went to the Star of Despair." The Fifth Prince also nodded, and then he looked up in surprise: "You also followed Sharon and the others into the Star of Despair, and saw the Seventh Prince transformed into a bug man?"
"Yes, anyone who has entered Despair Star will generally know about this." Lin Tao said: "After the Seventh Prince turned into a bug man, almost all the city lords of Despair Star were chasing him, and my strength was also improved in Despair Star, so I killed the Seventh Prince on the spot at the last moment."
Lin Tao and Sharon could be said to have had a certain influence on the reason why the Seventh Prince turned into an insect man, but Lin Tao would not mention it. After all, even if the Seventh Prince turned into an insect man, he was still one of the royal family members of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
"Well, after transforming into a bug man, it will indeed cause the lords of various cities to go out." Nong He nodded. As an adventurer, he naturally understood the influence of the bug man. After his eyes flashed for a while, he asked, "Which stage of the bug man?"
"The fourth stage." Lin Tao responded truthfully. This was something that could not be concealed and it was impossible to conceal it.
"The fourth stage?" Nong He nodded again and said, "It seems that after all the bugs were eliminated, the Seventh Prince regarded you as the final target and wanted to take someone with him, but you killed him instead?"
"That's right." Lin Tao responded without comment.
"Since the Seventh Prince has become a bug man, your final move was also implicated by him." After a moment of hesitation, the Fifth Prince said, "Lin Tao, whether you can kill the Ninth Prince or not, I will find a way to remove the royal blood curse on you."
"Can it really be eliminated?" Lin Tao was surprised.
“It doesn’t count as eliminating the royal blood curse on you. It only eliminates the subsequent effects of your royal blood curse.” The fifth prince explained with a serious face.
So that's how it is. Lin Tao finally understood.
