The traitor must die, but before the trial, the Earl of Hot Spring was not killed, but was arrested. Then he began to summon his territory to Orders of Chivalry. Punishing the traitor was just a gimmick. What Liszt really needed were the resources of Hot Spring Island, material resources and human resources.
The betrayal of the Earl of Hot Spring Island gave him an excuse to rob resources openly.
At this moment, standing in the cellar, looking at the dazzling treasures, Liszt asked the Earl of Hot Spring, whose hands and feet were tied, with great interest.
"The Eagle Kingdom is really willing to spend so much. So many treasures are given to you. I often go to the Tulip family's cellar, but it's not even one-tenth of the treasures you have here. Tell me, when did they instigate you to become a spy in Sapphire? "
"Your Highness, I am willing to dedicate all my wealth to you, and my family and I are also willing to follow you for life!" The Earl of Hot Spring said hurriedly.
"And then, continue to be a spy."
"How can that be, Your Highness, I am really willing to change. I will turn over a new leaf and follow you forever!"
This kind of nonsense was really meaningless, but the Earl of Hot Spring had to say it, even if there was only a slight chance of being forgiven. However, Liszt did not care about any of his statements. It was too degrading to bargain with a dead man, not to mention that he was a real Dragon Knight.
"When did you become a spy in the Kingdom of Eagle?"
"Ten years ago, my son was captured by the Kingdom of Eagle when he participated in the Expansion War. Since then, I have been His Highness Alonso … Alonso's spy. But Your Highness, I did not do anything to betray the Grand Duchy of Sapphire. Your father, Marquis Oxtail, and I are old friends. "
"Receiving the Dragon Knight of the Kingdom of Eagle and launching a dragon-slaying war against me, is this also called no betrayal?"
"Ah, this … I didn't know why they came here. I just thought they were looking for something." The Earl of Hot Spring's forehead was sweating. He knew that the lie was full of loopholes, but he still had to brace himself and continue.
"What is this?"
Liszt suddenly noticed the crystal statue that was half a man's height.
The crystal statue seemed to be a pink crystal, which was probably a byproduct of pink rubies. However, this statue was very complete. Its entire body was transparent and without any flaws. It was obvious that it was a very high-quality associated ore. The carved figure was that of a magician, wearing a tight-fitting magic robe.
Although the crystal was pink and transparent, the facial features and figure of the statue could be said to be perfect.
Even though Liszt was used to a delicate siren like A Qi, he couldn't help but be amazed by the sorcerer in the statue. She was sexy, beautiful, and dignified. In particular, the transparency of the crystal combined with the angle of the sculpture made it seem as if the person in the sculpture was a living person, looking at him with a faint smile.
Opening Magic Eyes, he could see that every line on the statue's clothes was a magic line, and there were traces of magic arrays. This was a magic equipment.
"It's Crystal Helen." The Count of Hot Spring sounded lost and confused, but he soon came back to himself. "Your Highness, this is the most precious treasure in my collection. It was made by a top crystal master, who worked with a sorcerer to build it into a treasure that combines beauty and magic!"
"Crystal Helen?" Liszt seemed to have heard this name before.
The Count of Hot Spring was still enthusiastically introducing, "It is not only beautiful, but also has a special effect. When it is placed in the castle, it will comb the wandering magic of the castle, making people feel relaxed and happy. Ordinary people bathed in her aura will be free from diseases and disasters, and Knight and Sorcerers can enjoy the convenience of cultivation. "
He paused.
The Count of Hot Spring seemed to be giving up his beloved woman. "I am willing to offer it to Your Highness. Only Your Highness is qualified to enjoy such a treasure!"
"Who is Crystal Helen?" Liszt suddenly asked.
"Well, she is a legendary Empress of the Moon Empire, the supreme leader of the sorcerers. Her beauty makes the moon lose its color, and even dragons are awed by her beauty and are willing to be driven by her."
"I remember now."
Liszt nodded. He had read a magic book that mentioned the Empress of the Moon Empire. Although the Moon Empire was a world ruled by sorcerers, it was also an imperial system and a slave system. One of the empresses was called Helen Truth, and she loved crystals very much.
Because of her beauty, the magicians who fell in love with her had built a crystal palace for her.
Pillars, roofs, arches, steps, including thrones, tables, chairs, clothes, carriages, cutlery, and even toilets, were all made of crystal.
It was ridiculous.
However, the legend of the Moon Empire was already very vague. No one knew if the crystal palace really existed. Even the existence of Crystal Helen was doubtful.
The statue in front of him was a very good decoration. Of course, Liszt would accept it and move it back to his castle to add to the artistic atmosphere of the castle.
"Pack it all up and take it away!" He waved his hand and gave the order.
As for the Count of Hot Spring, after he introduced the origin and function of the collection, he could be taken to the execution ground and prepared to be hanged.
Usually, a noble Knight could buy his freedom with a ransom, but it was not suitable for traitors.
Back then, the Sapphire Grand Duke had set off a round of bloody purges on the Iron Hoof Island. Liszt killed a Count and Lord with the same ease.
In front of the square of the Hot Spring Castle, many of the incorporated Knight came to watch.
A Black Horse Island official read the Count's crimes in front of the gallows: "The Count of Hot Spring Island … is despicable, killed a Knight, abused civilians, colluded with the Kingdom of Eagle, assassinated a Grand Duchy Marquis, and conspired against the Flame Territory. His crimes are heinous and unforgivable! He shall be hanged immediately! "
After the crimes were read, the Count of Hot Spring Island was hanged alive in front of all the Knight's hearts.
Some of his servants and confidants were also hanged on the gallows for various crimes. It was not known if there was hell or some other place where the dead went, where they could continue to follow the Count of Hot Spring Island.
Liszt stood on the balcony of the Hot Spring Castle.
He wanted to see the hanging clearly.
Markus was at his side, reporting the materials harvested from the Hot Spring Castle. The Count of Hot Spring Island was an old Count, and he also colluded with the Kingdom of Eagle. His wealth was astonishing. There were a lot of gems, jade, gold coins, and other resources. There were also a lot of sprites, one great sprite, sixteen lesser sprites, and one hundred and thirty-six sprite worms.
They were all contracted to his son.
However, they would soon be handed over to Liszt one by one.
The Knight and serfs on the island also began to count them one after another. When the time comes, those who should immigrate to Flame Island will directly immigrate there. The remaining assets that cannot be taken away can be bought back by the Sapphire Family.
"The harvest is really rich. This kind of thing makes money quickly!" Liszt thought happily.
Compared to the gray-mouthed iron dragon harvested in the dragon slaying war, these resources were nothing. But after all, there was only one iron dragon, and the resources of the Hot Spring Island were dazzling and varied, giving people more stimulation.
