Chapter 333 Blackmail

"Oh!" Bouton had no choice but to speak for Lan Shite at this time, so he could only sigh and said helplessly: "This matter is completely beyond my imagination and beyond my responsibilities, so I can only say sorry that I have no right to deal with this. Please give me some time and ask me to ask the Grand Duke!"

Constantine knew that this was indeed not something Bouton could do, so she didn't say much, just smiled and said, "Okay, but our time is precious, so please don't delay too much!"

"Okay, I understand!" Bouton nodded, then suddenly frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Oh, don't you know what else you have to ask me to tell the Grand Duke?" Obviously, his meaning was to let Constany say the conditions for the end of the matter so that he could give Grand Duke Shiraki a reference.

Of course Constany understood what Bouton meant, but she hadn't thought about what to ask for. So she looked back at Lao Xie and signaled him to say.

Lao Xie thought for a moment, then said, "I will spit out all our goods and gold coins when swallowing them!"

"Of course!" Bouton said hurriedly.

"In addition, our people have died and injured countless times the compensation is needed!" Lao Xie Lion said with a loud voice.

"This is no problem!" Bouton immediately said. For the rich and wealthy master of the White Bird Principality, the compensation for hundreds of people was nothing.

Then Lao Xie's face slowed down and he said the third condition: "This incident has caused great harm to our two families. As an apology, I requested to get two sub-artifacts!"

"Ah?" Bouton was stunned when he heard this and immediately said angrily: "Your Excellency, this seems a bit too much, right?"

"Is it too much?" Lao Xie said hilariously: "Why didn't I see it?"

"You're just robbing!" Bouton couldn't help but roar.

"Yes, I'm just robbing!" Lao Xie said without caring: "Since you can rob me, why can't I rob you?"

"You~" Bouton was speechless when he heard this. Yes, since you did such an excessive thing first, then I will take the opportunity to blackmail you, what else do you have to say?

In desperation, Bouton had to suppress his anger and said coldly: "Your Excellency, as far as I know, although the Duchy of White Bird is rich, there are no two sub-artifacts in hand!"

"The wings of the angel!" Lao Xie said to Budon with a smile.

Although Lao Xie's smile had tried to look kind, Bouton still felt a chill rising from his back after seeing it. He did not answer immediately, but just looked at Lao Xie tightly. After a while, he said helplessly, "The wings of the angel are indeed an amazing sub-artifact. They not only provide powerful light spells. They can also fly like birds. But the question is, I don't know whether this thing is in the hands of the great master. How do you know?"

"Haha!" Lao Xie smiled and said, "The guy who sold the "Angel Wings" to the Grand Duke Shiragoon is not a professional ethical person. After he got this thing through tomb robbing, he contacted many buyers, including my old man. Unfortunately, although he is quite rich, he still cannot compare with Grand Duke Shiragoon in terms of financial resources. My old man lost very unconvinced, and just at this time, the guy came to the door and sold the news about the buyer at a price of 10,000 gold coins! So, I not only knew that you bought the "Angel Wings", but also knew the specific time, place and transaction amount. Do you understand?"

"Damn it, these bastards are really unreliable!" Bouton cursed in anger. After he calmed down a little, he said angrily again: "But even if the Grand Duke has the 'angel wings' in his hand, there is still a sub-artifact, we don't have it?"

"White Bird Divine Sword!" Lao Xie said slowly.

"What?" Bouton suddenly said furiously: "This is the treasure of our principality and the symbol of the country. How can I give it to you?"

It turns out that the White Bird Divine Sword was a sword obtained by the first generation of White Bird Duke. It was with this sub-artifact-level treasure that he captured the land of the White Bird Duke and continued for more than ten generations. It has been passed down for hundreds of years and can only be worn by the White Bird Duke in all generations. It is the symbol of the Grand Duke. It can be imagined how important this thing is. It is not only a sword, but also a symbol of power! That's why Budon is so angry.

"It's okay if you don't give it, then change to other sub-artifacts!" Lao Xie said lightly: "Anyway, I don't limit which two sub-artifacts you are!"

"But!" Bouton wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Lao Xie and said, "Okay, you can leave. Just bring my words to Shiragoku. You must know that this is not something you can ask about!"

"Hey!" After hearing this, Bouton sighed heavily, and stomped his feet hard, then turned his head and left without saying a word. However, his originally straight body began to become curved and his steps also staggered. If the butler who came with him supported him, the old guy would have to fall on the spot.

Just as Bouton was about to board his carriage, Lao Xie's lazy words came from behind, "Old guy, there is not much food here, remember to make me delicious and delicious food. Remember, I only drank red wine for 50 years. If not, your young master will be wronged!"

After hearing this, Budon could no longer hold it back and spurted out a mouthful of blood. You know, although the Duchy of White Bird is not strong, it has a wealth of financial resources. In addition, it is rich in important strategic military griffins, so it has some status on the mainland. But unexpectedly, Lao Xie has completely stepped on the ground today. Don't mention the aggrievedness in Budon's heart. He is a chief minister of government affairs in the principality. Not to mention the humiliation of a rude junior, he also has to treat him with wine and meat. However, he dared not say half of the word "no". This huge humiliation almost made Budon crazy.

After barely getting on the carriage, Budon roared in grief and anger: "Let's go~"

After leaving the castle, Bouton's landslide soon came to Stoke. Stoke hurriedly opened the car door and saw that Bouton's face was pale and extremely frustrated. He was shocked, and then said angrily: "Teacher, why are you those bastards? I'll avenge you!" As he said that, he was about to bring people in.

Seeing this, Bouton yelled hurriedly: "Come back!"

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Stoke hurriedly came back and asked.

"You, send someone to surround the castle, just monitor and not attack!" Bouton stopped, and then said helplessly: "Also, give them some high-quality bread, wine and meat, and also, get them a few bottles of red wine that are more than 50 years old!"

"What?" Stoke was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but complain, "Teacher, why are you so polite to these robbers? It's good to give them food. I can't bear to drink red wine that has been around for fifty years!"

"Shut up!" Bouton said angrily: "If they want these things, if they don't give them, just wait to collect Lan Shite's body!"

"Ah? Damn guy, he actually threatened us with Lan Shite. It's so shameless!" After Stoke cursed for a few words, he said with concern: "Teacher, Lan Shite is okay inside?"

When Bouton heard Lan Shit's name, he couldn't help but yelled in anger: "Don't mention that bastard to me!"

Budon was so angry that he suddenly scared Stoke and shivered. He had been in contact with Budon for decades since he was a teacher when he was a man. This was the first time he saw Budon so angry that he was stunned for a moment.

"Do your own business!" Bouton then roared again, then ordered to drive directly and head straight to the city lord's mansion. He threw Stoke, who was unknown, on the spot.

Pili is a small town belonging to the Duchy of White Bird, very close to the Dragon Lord. It was originally just a quiet little place, but it has become extremely lively recently because the army of the Dragon Lord was approaching. Looking at the dense and endless temporary military camps of the other party, the people in Pili were almost stunned. There were at least tens of thousands of people on the opposite side, but there were only a few dozen border guards in the Duchy of White Bird. It was okay to organize patrols and catch thieves, but compared with tens of thousands of powerful Dragon Lords, it was like a mouse facing an elephant.

Fortunately, the battle between humans on the mainland is not particularly cruel. After all, there are three major natural disasters outside. So generally speaking, there is basically no matter how to massacre civilians. Even soldiers will receive certain preferential treatment after surrendering. Unless otherwise, they will not be killed. Therefore, the people in the world are still stable and there is no panic. In their opinion, it is the same for everyone to be the lord, but they will pay the same taxes anyway. Therefore, most people even look at this war with the mentality of watching the excitement.
