Bab 5: Chapter 5: Unknown Situation

The next day, early morning.

It was still dark, so much so that the mist outside, and a loud noise awakened Enzo from his sleep.

Putting on his shirt, he got up and walked to the window. Enzo looked out of the castle. On the street between the two rows of trees, a large number of horse-drawn carriages escorting supplies appeared. There were many cavalry around, who seemed to be dressed as Kaiyuan City. People.

"Daisy!" Enzo shouted to the door.

"What's the matter, master." Daisy hurried over.

"What's going on outside? Why are those cavalry coming back?" Enzo asked.

"I heard from the footmen, it seems that the war is over." Daisy said softly, "O'Queen and Lord Tyron returned to the castle last night, and the cavalry followed his orders to plunder the war. The materials will be gradually returned to Kaiyuan City."

"It's over?" Enzo frowned slightly, with an ominous premonition rising in his heart, "How could the war be over if the Great Wolf City has not been breached?"

Giant Wolf City relies on towering walls, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if O'Queen personally takes action, it is difficult to break in a short period of time. According to the previous strategy, Kaiyuan City obviously intends to cut off the resource supply of Giant Wolf City first, and then siege. It is the safest way to make it self-defeating, but it takes at least one month.

The war hurriedly ended, and the army withdrew to Kaiyuan City. Obviously O'Queen had given up Great Wolf City.

"The battle situation has developed to such a degree, O'Queen is sure to win the Wolf City." Enzo thought in his heart, his eyes flickering, "but now he suddenly chooses, obviously as a last resort, combined with yesterday's adjustment of Tyronn. The secret order to go to the battlefield, all of this is probably related to what happened during the attack on Wolf's Tail City!"

"Father is there, I'm going to see him." Enzo raised his head and said solemnly.

"Okay, I'm going to report now." Daisy exited the room, but after a while, she brought back Paris.

"Where is father?" Enzo frowned slightly.

"Master Tyron and Master O'Queen are in the underground training ground." Pariste bowed and replied, "Last night, Master O'Queen told me after returning, that he and Master Tyron will retreat in the training room. No one should be disturbed. During this time, Kaiyuan City's affairs, large and small, are handled by you."

"I will handle it?" Enzo asked a little strangely, ": Did Xavier not come back?"

As for his son's abilities, O'Queen couldn't be more clear. He would not rest assured that he would hand over Kaiyuan City to Enzo. In the past, Kaiyuan City was generally managed by Xavier when he led the army to fight or encircle bandits. , That handsome young man not only has amazing talent, but also convincing ability.

"Master Xavier leads a part of the army and surrounds the city of Wolf." Paris leaned slightly, and then said, "Master O'Queen knows that you are not familiar with the management of Kaiyuan City, so he ordered me to assist until You can handle government affairs alone."

"That's it." Enzo was silent, his thoughts changed.

Ordering Xavier to continue to besiege Great Wolf City is obviously O'Queen's unwillingness to give up a handy victory. However, after the unsuccessful attack on Wolffur Town, he secretly transferred Tyronn, who was in Kaiyuan City, to the battlefield to meet him, and then returned to the castle. Even more directly shut himself into the training ground.

A series of abnormal actions made Enzo faintly disturbed.

"Could it be that he was injured on the battlefield?" Enzo calculated in his heart, his eyes flickering, "But who can wound O'Queen?"

In the entire icy plain, the former owner of Great Wolf City, "Conrad Ice Wolf", once had the title of the most powerful knight. However, in front of the battlefield, he was killed by O'Queen alone. Next, who can defeat or even seriously hurt O'Queen?

"How was his condition when you saw your father?" Enzo raised his head and asked solemnly.

"Although I only had a brief contact with Lord O'Queen for a while, I am pretty sure that the Lord was not injured." Pariste seemed to see Enzo's thoughts and said affirmatively, "Although I am only a knight, my perception ability is still possible. When I saw Lord O'Queen, his body was unscathed, his vitality was thick and stable, and even his vindictive spirit was full and overflowing, and he didn't look injured at all."

"Are you sure?" Enzo frowned.

"Very sure!" Pariste was categorical, and then said with a smile on his face, "I know what you think, but Lord O'Queen did not get hurt. On the contrary, according to my guess, the Lord hurriedly ended the war, it is very likely that it was another one. Kind of reason."

"Oh?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.

"I have followed Master O'Queen for about 20 years. When he was a knight, I took the post of retinue." Pariste raised his chest, with a slightly proud tone. "In the past twenty years, I have been fortunate enough to witness the Lord's On the journey, from the knight to the great knight, and then from the great knight to the lord of Kaiyuan City, especially when following the adults to encircle and suppress the bandits in recent years, I can deeply feel how terrifying the adult's strength seems to have reached a critical point."

"And this time the war ended in a hurry, probably because Lord O'Queen is about to break through the realm and become a great Sky Knight.

"Sky Knight?" Enzo's heart moved, feeling that Pariste's calculation was reasonable.

"Yes, Sky Knight!" Pariste's face was reddened, and his tone was frantic. "Master O'Queen has an extraordinary talent, and he can definitely do it with his abilities. As long as the adult becomes a sky knight, he will take the wolf city. Not to mention, even if you want to unify the five cities and become the king of the cold land, it is easy!" Enzo was silent, thinking in his heart.

"There is too little information to jump to conclusions." A moment later, Enzo shook his head. "Anyway, you will know after his father leaves the customs. Let's solve the remaining problems after the war."

"You are right." Paris leaned slightly, calming his emotions.

"First, count the casualties of this war, and then count the spoils."

Enzo thought slightly, and said solemnly.

"Yes, master."

Paris took the order and said, "I will prepare a summary of war information and report it to you before noon at the latest."

"Well, as soon as possible."

Paris bowed to salute and exited the room.


Bab 6: Chapter 6: Iron Box

At noon, in the castle, in the study.

"This war was led by Lord O'Queen himself, and the Ice Wolves family did not have a great knight, so the casualties of the army were not large." Pariste stood at the desk and reported the casualties of the war. "The soldiers who died follow the usual practice. Pensions were given, and the injured were treated and compensated."

"Very good, how is the trophy counted?"

"The count has been roughly completed, please check it out, Master." Paris handed a paper slip.

After receiving the paper list, Enzo stared.

Summarizing the spoils information and quantity report, it is recorded that spoils are divided into two categories. Among them, gold coins and silverware are divided into one category. The slaves plundered in the war are divided into one category according to gender and age.

"Did the army still plunder slaves?"

After Enzo used the chip to record the information in his head, he threw the paper slip aside and asked.

"Yes." The Parisian head said in a deep voice. "When attacking Wolfheart Town, the army encountered very strong resistance, so after the attack, Lord O'Queen ordered the soldiers to plunder at will, almost bringing the town to Wolfheart. All of the civilians became slaves."

"That's it." Enzo rubbed his forehead and asked with a headache, ": According to the old rules, how do these slaves deal with?"

"Under normal circumstances, part of the slaves looted in the war will be given to meritorious soldiers, and the rest will be transported to the Golden City for sale." Pariste replied, and then suggested, "However, now the winter is coming, and the price of slaves is At the lowest point of the year, instead of selling them cheaply, it is better to distribute them to the iron quarry."

"Okay, let's do it!" Enzo nodded.

The iron ore farm is the fuse of the war between Kaiyuan and the giant wolf. Now that the war is won, the iron ore farm must be developed and sent to the mine, which just solved the problem of the shortage of labor in the mine.

"Is there anything else to report?"

"The problem of maintaining stability after the war is roughly the same, but winter is coming. According to previous rules, Kaiyuan City should reserve grain in advance, otherwise, once it snows, the price of grain will double."

"Then follow the old rules."

"Okay, I will arrange it..."

The conversation between the two continued for an hour.

In addition to the post-war issues, Pariste also reported on some of the daily affairs of Kaiyuan City, as well as the movement of the surrounding towns and families. Enzo made decisions one by one based on his own ideas and Pariste's suggestions.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when Pariste left.

Enzo told Daisy to prepare lunch, and after enjoying it, but Moore, the housekeeper of the castle, knocked on the door.

"What's the matter?" Enzo asked, looking at Moore not far away.

Moore, the old butler who has served the Demon family for more than 30 years, is now more than 60 years old. His face looks a bit old, but his spirit is very energetic. The beards at the temples are clean and he wears a black tuxedo. Meticulous, just like a gentleman.

"The property brought back from the battlefield, I have ordered the servant to count it and deposit it in the warehouse." Old Moore bowed slightly and whispered, "Gold coins, jewelry and the like have been counted according to their value, but among the spoils, they are still I found something special, so I will report it to you."

"Something special?"

"It's a locked black iron box. I don't know what's in it." Moore looked helpless and sighed. "The lock of that iron box is very strange. The best locksmiths in the city are helpless, the servants. I also tried to use a hammer, but I couldn't shake it at all."

"That's it?" Enzo was a little surprised.

"Not only that." Moore shook his head slightly and said solemnly. "The surface of the black iron box is covered with weird patterns. Anyone feels very uncomfortable when they approach. The whole body was cold, even one of them fell into a coma, and it took a while to wake up.

"Oh?" Enzo raised a trace of interest, "Where is the box now?"

"In the warehouse, the servant has been ordered to store it separately."

"Find two strong male servants and bring the iron box over." Enzo ordered.

"As you wish, master." Old Moore bowed and exited the room.

After a while, two strong male servants carried an iron box into the second floor of the castle.

The pitch-black iron box was about the same size as a normal box, but the surface was covered by purple texture. It looked strange and mysterious, and exuded a cold atmosphere. Even if it was far away, Enzo still felt uncomfortable.

Stepping forward, Enzo bent down and tried to open it.

The lock head that locks the iron box has a weird shape. The shape is an elliptical cylindrical flat body, without a keyhole. There are dozens of small rotating parts on both sides. You can change their position with your fingers, as if it contains Certain laws give people a sense of ancient mechanics.

"Code lock?" Enzo thought of the earth's code lock.

The mechanism that locks the iron box is obviously on the small parts. It seems that only when they are arranged in the correct order can the iron box be opened.

"Although there are only a dozen parts, but according to different arrangements, there are at least a thousand possibilities." Enzo stroked his chin, his lips raised. "It's no wonder the locksmiths in the city are helpless."

"Chip, analyze the arrangement of code locks, and develop a deciphering plan!"

If you try again and again with brain power, I am afraid that it will not be possible to decipher the code lock for half a month. Fortunately, Enzo has a smart chip. As long as you scan the code lock back and forth and analyze the possibility of its arrangement, you will soon get the correct answer.

"Analyzing... The analysis is complete!"

The smart chip runs very fast, and after a short calculation, it gives the answer.

"Next, let's see what's in it?"

Enzo was eager to try, rubbed his palms, and moved the small parts on the code lock according to the arrangement analysis of the chip. After several rotations, only a light click was heard, the code lock bounced, and the iron box opened at the same time. , A gloomy chill suddenly hit his face.

"Huh...it's cold!" Enzo couldn't help but shudder, feeling the temperature in the room drop instantly.

Looking towards the inside of the iron box, most of the space inside is occupied by black books, neatly stacked, except for three purple crystals similar to a Rubik's cube, and a fist-sized translucent crystal. Light blue skeleton skull.
