Chapter 191 Key
"Take a look at this."
Richard handed the copied papers to the two goddesses, Rocky and Fina. Primadis, as the representative of Richard's military, also took a paper and looked at it again.
"Key?" Fina smiled softly and glanced at Rocky. Rocky glared at him fiercely. Fina looked at Richard apologetically.
Richard leaned back in his chair and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem with the key?"
Fina shook her head quickly: "No, no."
"Then keep reading."
Richard moved his eyes to Rocky's face. Rocky frowned and said nothing. It seemed that the new information had caused a huge wave in his heart.
Diluka finished reading first: "Richard, this is the first time I've seen this record."
Ligredo beside him also put down the copy and said: "I... I haven't seen it either."
"This was found in the library of Gretz."
"Ah!" Ligredo was startled, and her two little fingers were tightly hooked together. "I... I really haven't seen this record."
"Yeah." Richard nodded. "What do you think?"
Ligredo shook her head in fear at Richard's gaze. Richard frowned, and Ligredo hid behind Diluka in fear. Richard smiled and shook his head. The list was getting smaller and smaller. He hid behind his sister... Eh? By the way, we haven't played sister-sister double flying yet. When will we try it? Well, well, it's not enough now. We need to develop it. It's fun to force them to do it occasionally. Only when they are willing can we feel a sense of accomplishment...
When Richard was daydreaming, Rocky and Fina also put down the copy. Fina was the first to finish reading it. After all, as a maid, she didn't need to think about any plans. She waited until everyone put down the copy before she put it down.
Rocky's brows were still not relaxed: "Sir Richard, this is the first time I know about the key. I have never heard of it in the Demon Continent or from Brother Ymir. But since this thing has appeared, we have to find it. As long as there is a clue, I will do my best."
Diluka was a little unhappy.
"It's like this." Richard leaned back in his chair and looked at Rocky. Several people had finished reading it and didn't get any valuable information, but it was expected. Richard told them his guess about Slud, and Rocky was the only one who spoke.
"After the Demon Palace received the notice of the King's Order, I talked with Brother Ymir. We both believe that the theme of this King's Order is not how much territory can be conquered in Yggdril. Many wars have shown that the demons can't get any advantage over them. But I see hope in you, Lord Richard. Your army is unparalleled in the world. Under your wise command, we will definitely be able to obtain Yggdril. All the land of Rud."
Richard's expression did not change because of Rocky's compliment. Rocky continued, "The Slud family sent us here, probably to obtain the resources here and plunder the humans here to work as laborers on the mainland. After all, compared to something as illusory as 'dirty heart', these are more realistic. "Richard
said, "I know that you demons pay more attention to practical interests when doing things, but what do you think? Is Slud really that simple? "
Lodge shook his head: "I didn't think it was that simple at the time. After all, the final battle for the throne is the amount of plunder. I didn't have any ideas. I just wanted to complete this battle for the throne. Sir Richard, your concerns are reasonable, but I don't think Slud has to do anything behind the candidates. Slud will do whatever he thinks of. Do it immediately, never caring about what's happening around or on the other side."
Richard thought for a while and finally said, "Okay, since you don't understand, forget about it. Now that we're here, let's discuss the next attack plan. After resting for so long, it's time. Primatis, go and call back Zonoz, and everyone else go and rest first. Fina, make me some snacks, and let Valeera take them back to Azeroth."
"Okay, Lord Richard."
Valeera took Fina's snacks back to report to Vashj. Richard looked at Fina and smiled, "Just now I saw you wanted to talk about the key, can you tell me about it now?"
"This..."
"If it's really inconvenient, you don't have to say it."
"It's not that I can't tell you. Some people know about it, but this is about Lord Rocky's privacy. It's a little bit embarrassing for me to tell it out loud..."
Richard showed some interest: "I can keep it a secret. If you don't tell me, who can I tell? Maybe this privacy is related to 'heart'. Tell me about it."
Fina looked into Richard's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the story: "Lord Rocky has a key, a very beautiful gemstone key. It was left to him by his mother. . During the days when we were wandering, Lord Rocky sold everything that could be sold, but kept the valuable gem key. Whenever he missed his mother, Lord Rocky would often stare at the key in the dead of night, and sometimes cry like a child. He valued the key more than anything else. Once again, he accidentally lost it during his escape, but he returned to look for it regardless of the danger. He was seriously injured and almost died. After this experience, Lord Rocky placed the key in a safer place."
"Can you draw the key?"
Fina hesitated and nodded: "Okay, Lord Richard."
Fina picked up a pen and drew on the white paper. She first drew an outline of a very ordinary key, but Fina drew very slowly because the gem pattern was too delicate.
"Finished?"
Richard looked at Fina in confusion. After drawing the gem, Fina stopped writing, and the unlocking part was smooth.
"Yes, it's finished."
Richard held up the paper: "Can a key like this unlock?"
Fina asked in confusion: "I always thought it was a work of art. I have been there since the Lodge family was prominent, and I have never seen them use this key."
"That's right."
Richard put the paper on the burning flame with some regret.
Fina asked tentatively: "You don't think this is the key to control the 'dirty heart', do you?"
"What?" Richard laughed, "You have a really wild imagination, how is it possible, if this is the key to the 'dirty heart', would Slud put it in Rocky's hands? I just want to hear a story. Come, give me a shoulder massage, and we'll go to the meeting when Zonoz comes."
However, Fina's words also woke Richard up. When Richard learned about the "key", he was wondering what shape the "key" was. So is it possible that the "key" is really a key?
