Ulysses ran all the way back to Ceylon City. Just as Salin had said, he didn't think of gathering soldiers to deal with him. It wasn't that Ulysses was afraid of Salin, but Guge had instructed him to return to the viscount's mansion whenever Salin or Jason returned.
In Ulysses's eyes, Guge was older than the emperor. At least the emperor wouldn't provide him with a better training method.
Guge had been troubled recently. His wife, Nasha, had been bickering with him about money all day long. Guge had invested thousands of gold coins in Salin, but he didn't get a single cent back after Salin left. He also didn't get a job in the capital because of the lack of money. After a few years, Guge was about to give up.
Nasha had lost all the money she had borrowed from her father, and her relationship with her father had become tense. That was why she was bickering with Guge.
Guge was coaxing his wife, "Nasha, why don't I sell a few houses in the city and try to go to the capital?"
"Forget it. Ceylon City is such a broken place. Other than fishermen, who would come here? How much can these houses be sold for? A hundred gold coins? " Nasha raised her voice. When she bought these houses, she spent more than a hundred gold coins. However, Ceylon City was getting worse, and no one would buy these houses. A hundred gold coins was already too much.
Nasha's father was only the head of a trading company. He didn't have all the shares in the company. Lending a lot of gold coins to Guge was already his limit. If Guge didn't have two ships, his father-in-law would have already fallen out with him. In Scotia, if you owed money, even the emperor couldn't protect you.
Ulysses barged into the viscount's mansion and even knocked over a maid. While Nasha was scolding Guge, Ulysses barged in rudely.
Nasha immediately shut up. Guge glared at him, "Ulysses, what are you doing!"
"Sir, that, that …" Ulysses looked at the viscount's wife, hesitating.
"Speak!" Nasha angrily rebuked and shouted, "You two, what are you hiding from me?"
"Speak." Guger calmed down. He suddenly remembered that he had been depressed recently, so he didn't train anymore. He only asked Ulysses to guard the stone house outside the city and see if he could meet Jason. Ulysses barged in. Was Jason back?
"Sir, Salin has returned."
"Salin?"
"Grandmaster Jason's student … The king of Metatlin Kingdom."
"Guge, go and catch him!" Nasha screamed. She then saw Guge's cold face. Although she was vulgar, she was not stupid. She immediately understood the key point.
"How many people did he bring?"
"Four, five including Prince Salin." Ulysses used subtle words to describe the viscountess.
Nasha calmed down and looked at Viscount Guge. After a long time, she saw a trace of gentleness on Guge's face. "Guge, did you already plan this?"
"Yes, when I heard that the king of the Metatlin Kingdom was called Salin, I thought it was him. Nasha, what do you think? "
Nasha sat heavily on the chair. She seemed to have lost all her strength. She suddenly coughed and Ulysses quickly poured water for her.
Guge also came to his wife and massaged her back. Nasha leaned on Guge's body and asked, "My lord, are you really going to join the enemy's side?"
"Nasha …" Guge filtered the thoughts in his mind again and said, "I owe your father more than two hundred thousand gold coins. I can't pay it back in this life."
"No need. If I can't, I …"
"Forget it, Nasha. Don't you know what kind of person your father is? I'm not joining the enemy. Prince Salin grew up in Ceylon City. This is his hometown. According to an ancient agreement, this land belongs to Prince Salin. I just need to come out and prove it. "
"Just a proof?" Nasha asked, feeling a little silly. If Guge didn't prove it, then Salin's words would be useless. He needed a witness and the records of the city hall. If Guge destroyed the records, then Salin wouldn't be able to prove that Ceylon City was his hometown.
What Viscount Guger had done would definitely infuriate His Majesty.
"Master, you will kill me." Nasha suddenly gritted her teeth and stood up. She said to Ulysses, "Go and gather the guards. Bring all the heavy crossbows in the secret warehouse … …"
"Madam, we can't! His Highness Salin is a Magic Shooter! "Ulysses was anxious.
"Bastard, what are you thinking? Aren't the people from the capital at the posthouse? They didn't leave after coming. If Master goes to see Salin, we can't hide it anymore. What if they run away or leak the news? We can hide it for as long as we can. Kill them … "
"Kill them all!" Guge hugged Nasha. He was glad that he married the wrong wife. But what did Ulysses say? Salin is a Magic Shooter?
"Yes! Sir, Prince Salin is still waiting for you. "
"You go kill them first and leave the people from the Imperial Capital here. I'll only bring Chris with me." Viscount Guge's heart was also beating wildly. Although he had long imagined that he would side with Salin, when it actually happened, Guge felt that it wasn't very realistic.
"Master, be careful." Nasha held the Viscount's hand, unwilling to let go. The viscount's decision this time was too risky. He didn't know what the result would be. Maybe he would have to flee? Salin must have come personally to reassure Guge, or to bring the viscount and the records of the City Hall with him.
Should he pack his luggage and take away all his money? What about Father? Nasha was so confused that she didn't even notice that Guge had broken free from her hand and left the room.
Viscount Guge didn't order anyone to drive the carriage. Instead, he went straight to the stable and rode on his precious warhorse. It was a level-one magic beast, a rare luxury for Viscount Guge. Viscount Guger had heard of a man called Salin, the Duke of Guger. After Metatlin's people established the kingdom, they had been preparing for today's event. This warhorse was also bought with a lot of money.
Following Viscount Guge was Ulysses's swordsmanship student and also the viscount's loyal subordinate, Chris. The two rode out of the city and soon arrived outside Salin's stone house.
On the swing outside the stone house, Neris was half lying on it. Her skirt trailed down and fluttered in the wind. She leaned against the rope and held a wild fruit in her hand. This wild fruit was poisonous. If eaten, one would immediately vomit and have diarrhea. It could even cause internal bleeding and lead to death. Neris took small bites and felt that it was very fragrant.
Tris obediently sat at the door. The stairs were cold, but a thousand times more comfortable than the Demonic Plane. At least there was no thick smoke in the air, and no strong demons would suddenly jump out of the forest. Neris stayed outside, and Tris didn't want to make her angry, so she could only stay outside.
Salin seemed to really want to rest. He returned to his childhood bedroom and fell on the bed.
Viscount Guge rushed over on his warhorse from afar. Tris's eyes flashed with purple light, and she released a bit of Great Demon's aura. The level-one warhorse was so scared that its legs went soft, and Viscount Guge almost fell to the ground.
Neris giggled. This Viscount Guge looked quite handsome, and his skills were not bad. With some training, maybe he could become a Black Iron Sword Saint before he died. Neris judged in her heart, and felt that this noble was not completely useless.
Chris was slightly angered. Prince Salin's maid was too rude. His warhorse also fell to the ground. It was worse than Guge's warhorse, and it was foaming at the mouth. Tris's method was clever. Viscount Guge and Chris did not feel threatened by her.
The gap between them was too big. A Great Demon could easily control the situation.
"Come here." Neris pointed at Viscount Guge.
Guge thought for a while and walked towards Neris. Neris's hair was pitch black. After the advancement, the faint green color had almost disappeared.
"You're Guge, right?" Neris had seen the magic image Rex gave her, and she recognized Guge.
"You are?" Although Guge was angry, he could bear it. His skin was thick even compared to the people of Cloud Flow.
"I'm Neris. This is my warrior, Tris. Master is sleeping. If you want to talk to him, wait at least six hours. "
"I see!" Guge took off his gloves, and gave his sword to Chris, "Can I sit here?"
"Of course. You can go to the living room if you want. There's an old man there. I think you'd like to talk to me more." Neris smiled innocently.
"Of course. Can I … call you by your name?" Guge's politeness made Neris feel fresh. In Metatlin City, everyone was afraid of her, including some mages from Serrig Island.
"You can call me by my name. Where's that guy?" Nelis pointed at Chris. This young swordsman was much more talented than Viscount Guge.
"Chris, he's my trusted aide." Viscount Guge sat down on the grass. Chris stood behind Guge with two swords in his hands, as if he was about to face a formidable enemy.
Neris smiled at Chris, but it was full of sarcasm. This little guy was acting like this in front of her. If not for her master not forbidding her, she would have fed him to the demons now. There were still 100,000 demons in her 12 Movements of Purgatory. Eating demonic worms every day could also change his taste.
"Well, Guge, I heard from Master that he owes you a lot of money." Neris swayed on the swing. The wind blew past her, and Chris, who was standing behind Guge, felt a little dizzy. He had never seen such a beautiful woman.
Guge laughed bitterly. That was his investment. If Salin really returned the money, there would be no profit from the investment.
