Chapter 268 This Secret Will Last a Lifetime

The young Elf King calmed down quickly. When Catherine reappeared, he was smiling again, and there was no sign that he wanted to kill Amber Xiu just now.

Catherine asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what happened just now?"

Aldarian said calmly: "It's nothing. I recognized the wrong person. I thought this Master Sargeras was someone I knew. Now the misunderstanding is resolved."

Catherine said curiously: "Master Sargeras? But his name is Ultraman Tiga."

Aldarian's expression froze. This lich, even his name was fake.

"Haha, so I was wrong."

Aldarian's acting skill was good, but he suffered such a great blow today that his performance is really embarrassing.

Fortunately, Catherine was easy to fool, and Aldarian changed the subject with just a few words.

Amber Xiu also urged: "Well, now it's time to talk about business. What is the attitude of that old guy James Watson?"

This question could only be answered by Aldarian, who had been chatting with James Watson for the whole day.

"If it can be confirmed that the heroic spirit in your hand is real, the Lion Empire will get it at all costs." Aldarian replied.

Amber Xiu laughed and said, "At any cost? This old guy James Watson really dares to say anything, but is he speaking for Ryan or for himself?"

Catherine said doubtfully: "He is Ryan's supreme judge. Isn't he here to negotiate on Ryan's behalf?"

Aldarian shook his head and said, "Sister Catherine, if the Supreme Judge represented Ryan, he would not come alone, but should have formally submitted a visit letter and brought Ryan's guard of honor. Ryan's rules are no less than our Silvermoon High Court, but this time James Watson's visit was silent."

Amber Xiu nodded and said, "That's right. Ryan and Silvermoon High Court are allies. There is no need for James Watson to come so secretly. There are only two explanations. Either James Watson did not tell others about the Heroic Spirit, or Emperor Ryan is unwilling to welcome the Heroic Spirit back."

Catherine didn't understand again, and asked quickly: "How is this possible? Arthur Ryan is the Holy King of Ryan, and his heroic spirit is so important."

Amber Xiu asked back, "If you were the Elf Queen and the old Elf King pointed fingers at you every day, would you be able to bear it?"

Catherine said curiously, "What's so unbearable about this?"

Amber: ...

Aldarian couldn't help laughing out loud. Seeing the lich get humiliated was his greatest enjoyment. After laughing, he didn't forget to finish off the fight: "The nobleness of the elves is not something a despicable and cunning lich like you can imagine."

Amber Xiu admitted his mistake and gave an inappropriate example. The elves are indeed strong in this aspect.

Especially for a kind-hearted person like Catherine, she probably has no jealousy or desire for power in her heart, so she naturally wouldn't think there is anything wrong with having an emperor pointing fingers at her.

"I admit that I am a despicable and cunning lich, and I don't understand you elves very well. But Emperor Ryan is a human, not an elf, so he also has the bad habits of humans. No human emperor wants to be pointed at by others. Once Arthur Ryan's heroic spirit returns to Ryan, the current emperor will most likely be driven out."

In fact, Amber was mostly right.

James Watson came to Silvermoon High Court on his own because he was worried that the emperor would know about the Heroic Spirit. The old man was completely disappointed with the Ryan royal family, but he didn't know whether these people could accept the return of the Holy King.

Aldarian said proudly, "James Watson represents himself, and he doesn't even dare to make it public, so how much money can he spend to buy this heroic spirit? I heard that this Supreme Judge is very honest, and it may be difficult for his family to come up with even one million gold coins."

This lich is definitely going to lose a lot this time! Amber took a look at Aldarian, then said to Catherine: "Yes, Catherine, we are going to lose a lot this time."

Catherine said with a puzzled look on her face: "We? What does this have to do with me?"

"Of course it's us. We found Arthur Ryan's spirit through our adventure together. No matter how much it can be sold for, you must have a share. I didn't expect that the spoils of your first adventure in your life would be sold at a low price. Now it seems that you have suffered a big loss. Not only me, but also the elves will suffer a big loss."

Catherine immediately thought it made sense and couldn't help saying, "That won't do. That was the spoils I got from my first adventure in my life. I can't sell it at a low price! Your Majesty, we have to think of a way."

Although Aldarian remained calm on the surface, he could not help but roar in his heart! The damn lich actually bewitched the pure sister Catherine. He was indeed shameless and cunning, just like he was four hundred years ago! Aldarian did not expect that Amberxiu would change Catherine's position with just one sentence. He could not let Catherine stand on Amberxiu's side, so he quickly said: "Sister Catherine, things are not that simple. We elves have never lacked money. I think this Ultraman Master also knows that what we elves lack now is time to recover our vitality."

Catherine asked curiously, "What does this have to do with Arthur Lane's spirit?"

"Lion is our greatest ally, but also our greatest threat. Stabilizing Ryan means stabilizing the situation on the entire continent, so we should aim for this. The return of Arthur Ryan's spirit will surely cause chaos in Ryan, and by then, no one can predict what will happen."

"Ah, but that's not what you said before."

Catherine still remembered that Aldarian used a different set of rhetoric when he refuted the old Elf King.

Amberxiu said nothing, but just looked at the young Elf King quietly to see how he would make up stories.

Aldarian was really quick-witted. After hearing Catherine's rebuttal, he immediately said, "Sister Catherine, this is actually what I mean. Arthur Ryan's spirit is a bomb that affects Ryan's stability, but there is no need to throw it out now. Sister, if Ryan has always been at peace with us, we will keep this bomb. Once Ryan wants to do something to Silvermoon High Court, we will throw this bomb out. No matter what the effect is, it is at least possible to cause Ryan to fall into chaos. The trump card should be revealed at the critical moment, don't you think?"

Catherine felt that this was true, and it was indeed a trump card.

If the Ryan royal family really has a conflict with the Holy King, the power of the explosion would be unimaginable, and it is possible that Ryan would split directly.

Ardarian turned his head and looked at Amberxiu, with a hint of pride in his eyes, as if he was saying to Amberxiu: "You want to use my sister Catherine, that's impossible!"

Papapapa! Amber Xiu applauded directly. This boy is good at making up stories, and they make a lot of sense.

It must be said that this young Elf King was very quick-witted. He made up a series of lies that were difficult to find flaws in.

Aldarian expressed his opinion from the grand perspective of the elves. Although Catherine was silly, she still mainly supported the elves in her heart. Aldarian's move completely pulled Catherine to his side.

But this kid thinks that's enough? Too naive.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After Amber Xiu finished clapping, he directly expressed his agreement.

"Catherine, His Majesty the Elf King is right. This is a very important trump card that should be played at the right time. However, if I keep this thing in my hands, does it count as the elves' trump card? Isn't it more appropriate for the elves to hold this thing?"

Catherine nodded and said, "You do have a point, but will you give me Arthur Lane's spirit?"

Amber Xiu laughed, then said coldly: "What are you thinking? Give it away for free? You know my character. It's impossible to give it away for free, but you can buy it. It doesn't matter if Ryan doesn't pay. If the elves want to hold such an important trump card, then pay for it."

Catherine thought about it, then said to Aldarian: "It seems that what he said is right. Shouldn't we take such an important thing in our hands?"

Aldarian's face darkened uncontrollably.

This lich is too difficult to deal with. He can actually play like this. Ryan doesn't pay, so he forces the elves to pay, right? But Aldarian couldn't refute it now. Amber Xiu completely followed his words. Now he couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Damn it, after four hundred years of growth, he is still not as good as this lich? ! Aldarian's silence made Catherine feel strange, and Amberxiu showed an expression of watching a good show.

Catherine frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "You two, are you not speaking in a sarcastic way? You were hiding in there before, weren't you having a quarrel?"

Aldarian said quickly: "Sister, you misunderstood. I told you that I just recognized the wrong person before. This is Master Ultraman, not the Sargeras I know."

Amber sighed and said, "Since Catherine has discovered it, let's tell the truth. Your Majesty Aldarian, four hundred years ago in Red River Town..."

"No, shut up!"

Ardarian was excited. How could he let Catherine know that he had been badly cheated by Amber? He would take this dark history into his coffin and not let anyone know! Especially his beloved sister Catherine, she must not know! But Amber did not shut his mouth, but continued: "At that time, I had just started to become an adventurer, and I was in a miserable situation. I met His Majesty Ardarian in Red River Town, and borrowed thirty gold coins from him because I was poor.

"It's just that I couldn't pay it back at the time, so I ran away. I didn't expect His Majesty to recognize me, so there was a little conflict. His Majesty didn't bother with me, so I don't want to mention this matter."

Aldarian's expression of surprise flashed across his face. He didn't understand why the lich wanted to keep it a secret for him, but as long as it wasn't exposed, it was fine. Aldarian quickly said, "Yes, it's just a small matter of thirty gold coins."

Catherine looked at Aldarian and said strangely, "Thirty gold coins. You still remember it after more than four hundred years?"

Aldarian: ...

Amber Xiu had a blank expression on his face, but he was actually laughing inside.

It seems that the Elf King can live off this secret for the rest of his life.
