These so-called sacred weapons were of no use to Han Shuo. However, on Profound Continent, those who would be interested in these items would be as numerous as the school of carps in the river. They would scramble to snatch them.
Firenze's eyes were lifeless. He hugged the sacred weapons of the Church of Light and was momentarily at a loss as to what to do.
He knew that if he were to auction these items, he would be able to obtain a lot of profit. However, the sacred weapons in his hands originated from the Church of Light. If they were to be leaked out, the Church of Light would definitely do everything in their power to retrieve them. Han Shuo had even gotten rid of the Light Pope. The Lancelot Empire and the Church of Light would definitely not rest until one of them was dead. If the Church of Light were to obtain these sacred weapons from Han Shuo, it would undoubtedly be a great boost to the Church.
"Brian, forget it. Let's not sell these sacred weapons," Lawrence suddenly said with a troubled expression.
Han Shuo shot a glance at Lawrence with a smile that wasn't a smile and leisurely said, "Don't worry. Even if the Church of Light were to use gold coins to retrieve these items, there's nothing to fear. Even the Light Pope was killed by me with these items in his hands. What kind of waves can the others cause? "
"That's not what I meant." Lawrence laughed involuntarily. He pointed at Amyes beside him and said to Han Shuo, "Why don't you take a look at Amyes?"
Han Shuo was stunned and immediately turned to look at Amyes.
Amyes' eyes flickered and focused on the sacred weapons of the Church of Light in Firenze's hands. His mouth moved as though he wanted to say something, but he hesitated and did not speak.
With just a glance, Han Shuo immediately understood and cursed himself. He knew that he had overlooked one point – Amyes cultivated in light magic.
Amyes was Han Shuo's brother-in-law. Although Han Shuo did not have a deep friendship with him, Emily was his younger sister. Back then, before Han Shuo became famous, Amyes had helped Han Shuo a lot. Although Han Shuo did not place these sacred weapons of the Church of Light in his eyes, to Amyes, they were unimaginably attractive.
"Oh, look at how stupid I am. I almost forgot that Mister Amyes also cultivates light magic." Han Shuo fiercely slapped his head and pretended to be enlightened. He said to Firenze, "Well, we should keep the goodies within the family. Let's give this to Mister Amyes!"
Amyes, who had been hesitating on whether or not he should speak, hurriedly waved his hands when he heard Han Shuo's words. "It's too valuable, too valuable. This won't do!"
Firenze held these sacred weapons that could be exchanged for enormous benefits for the southern border. He looked at Han Shuo and then at Amyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Father!" Fanny, who was beside Firenze, coughed lightly.
"Sigh …" Firenze let out a sigh and reluctantly handed the item over to Amyes. He snorted and said, "Your luck is really f * cking good. This is a fortune that can be used to form two legions. Yet, it was obtained by you just like that."
"How can I accept it, how can I accept it …" Amyes excitedly rubbed his hands. His handsome and refined face was filled with an uncontrollable smile. Although he said that he was embarrassed, he had already spread his hands apart.
"Forget it if you're embarrassed!" Firenze despised hypocritical people the most. In addition to the anger in his heart, just as the sacred weapons were about to fall into Amyes' open hands, his expression suddenly turned serious and he actually withdrew them.
Amyes spread his hands apart and looked at Firenze in extreme embarrassment. He scratched his head and laughed awkwardly. He randomly said, "This … that …" No one knew what he was trying to express.
"Pfft!" When Fanny saw that Firenze was deliberately teasing Amyes, she could not help but laugh. The others could also see that Firenze was deliberately teasing Amyes because he was angry and could not help but laugh.
"Alright, alright. I will get Jack to give you some compensation money. Don't be so petty!" Han Shuo smiled at Firenze and said loudly.
"Say so earlier!" Firenze muttered and heavily smashed the few treasures into Amyes' palm. He snorted and said, "You hypocrites are the most annoying. You obviously want it but still pretend to be sincere!"
Amyes awkwardly smiled and did not say anything. The treasures in his hand had diluted all the unhappiness in his heart. He also knew Amyes' character and naturally would not bear a grudge over such a small matter.
"Brian, give me at least one and a half million gold coins. Otherwise, I won't allow Fanny to enter your house!" Firenze rolled his eyes at Amyes and laughed sinisterly as he threatened Han Shuo.
"Father!" When Fanny heard Firenze's words, she glared at him and shouted angrily.
Firenze was not afraid of anything except Fanny. When she shouted, he immediately shrunk his head. However, his gaze was still fixed on Han Shuo. For the millions of soldiers and civilians in the southern border, Firenze could even throw away his old face.
"No problem!" Han Shuo knew of Firenze's painstaking efforts for the people of the southern border. He was also somewhat touched and straightforwardly agreed.
Although Han Shuo had not been in Brettel City for a long time, he was still very clear about the financial situation of Brettel City. In the past five years, Brettel City had not experienced any war and had been painstakingly managing various high-profit industries. It was truly overflowing with wealth. Due to the special circumstances of the Lancelot Empire, even Lawrence had no way of getting Brettel City to spend the money elsewhere. Only Han Shuo could do so.
To Brettel City, a mere one and a half million gold coins was not a problem at all. Just the resources that Graeae and Pegasus had plundered from the Shrine of Ice were worth more than two million gold coins. As for the rest of the items, if they were converted into gold coins through the Boozt Merchant Guild, they would be worth more than three million gold coins.
"Good son-in-law, you are really straightforward. Haha, I like you more and more!" Firenze immediately shouted and laughed heartily when he heard Han Shuo's cheerful agreement.
"Alright, there should be nothing else. Alright, everyone can disperse now," Han Shuo looked around and said warmly.
Most of the dignitaries of the Empire who had come to the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force had yet to recover from the shock. Each and every one of them was still incomparably excited as they continuously pondered over the conversation between Han Shuo and Lawrence.
To them, a sacred-grade expert was already the pinnacle of experts on Profound Continent. Existences that had surpassed the sacred-grade and reached the demigod realm were only heard of in legends. They had never even heard of existences that surpassed the demigod realm.
When they learned that Han Shuo might have reached a terrifying realm that was unimaginable to the average person, each and every one of them had extremely complicated feelings. However, most of them were more excited than anything else because Han Shuo was a citizen of Lancelot Empire.
In the midst of their shock, they vaguely saw the scene of Lancelot Empire dominating the entire Profound Continent. This gave them new expectations for the future, and they started to think about how they could obtain the most benefits for themselves in the upcoming upheaval of the continent.
"I won't say any more superfluous words. The Empire is truly blessed to have you!" Lawrence said sincerely as he tightly grasped Han Shuo's hand before leaving.
"The Empire is also blessed to have you!" Han Shuo said courteously and smilingly as he watched Lawrence and the palace guards leave.
Candide stood beside Han Shuo with a gloomy face. After everyone had left, he let out a slight sigh and said, "It is indeed the Dark Mantle's dereliction of duty to not be able to nip the problem in the bud this time!"
"You don't have to blame yourself. The ones who came this time were far more powerful than you could have imagined. Even if you weren't in charge of the Lancelot Empire's safety, you still wouldn't have been able to prevent them." Han Shuo consoled. Soon after, he smiled and said, "Moreover, didn't the Dark Mantle already reduce the damage to the minimum and punish the culprit?"
"How could that be?" Candide had a puzzled look on his face. He said in a puzzled manner, "These things were all done by you!"
"But I've always been a member of the Dark Mantle. My actions also represent the Dark Mantle's actions, don't they?" Han Shuo smiled as he looked at Candide and reminded him seriously.
Candide's mood improved a bit after hearing Han Shuo's words. However, he still shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's still not quite the same." After a pause, Candide's face suddenly turned solemn as he solemnly said to Han Shuo, "Oh right, Brian, with your contributions to the Empire, you are completely qualified to become the new ruler of the Dark Mantle. You will become the one giving orders above the three heavyweights of the Dark Mantle. Do you want to take over the Dark Mantle?"
Han Shuo smiled and refused, "No need. The Dark Mantle is quite good in the hands of the three of you. If it was before, I might have been interested. But now, forget about it."
"Why?" Candide asked in astonishment.
Looking at Candide with a beaming smile, Han Shuo asked in reply, "Don't you think that the current Dark Mantle is a bit too small for me?"
Candide was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "Yes, with your current strength, the Dark Mantle is indeed a bit too small for you in the context of the entire Profound Continent. Sigh, I really didn't expect that you would progress so quickly as I watched you grow step by step. It's so fast that it makes one dumbfounded and dizzy. Compared to the time when you were an errand slave here, the current you has really undergone an earth-shattering change. "Candide sighed endlessly.
With these words, Han Shuo seemed to have returned to the past. He recalled the time when Candide hid in the darkness and lured him into the Dark Mantle. Han Shuo couldn't help but laugh involuntarily. He asked, "Right, I've always been curious. Why did you specifically seek me out and recruit me into the Dark Mantle? With your status, you shouldn't have taken a fancy to me when I was weak back then, right? "
"That's because I saw ambition in your eyes. Ambition is the most important thing for anyone who wants to achieve great things! You already possessed this at that time. In addition, you also had the perseverance and willpower to put your ambition into action. This is already very rare. In addition, you were somewhat mysterious at that time. In order to better understand you, I appeared and recruited you into the Dark Mantle, "Candide explained seriously.
"So that's how it is!" Han Shuo nodded. Soon after, he rubbed his chin and said proudly, "It seems that I have quite a few good points, hehe!"
