Scarlet looked like Red City, and together with its respectful and courteous attitude, it looked like the most loyal subordinate of the three kings.
However, the three kings on the thrones either didn't care about what Scarlet said, or felt disdain in their hearts, or closed their eyes to rest. In short, none of them were willing to believe the red skull.
They knew very well what kind of existence the man in front of them was.
Its mouth was full of lies.
The viciousness in its heart was a few times more vicious than the cruelest monsters under their command.
A few seconds later, a cold laugh came from the throne on the right.
"Malicious intent?"
The laugh was filled with mockery.
Of course, the mockery wasn't directed at Victor, it was directed at Scarlet.
Scarlet, however, was calm and unperturbed by the laughter.
It bowed again.
"Your Majesty, I can assure you that he really harbors malicious intent.
He is here to instigate a war between us and the outside world.
A little carelessness and Ring City will be destroyed! "
Said Scarlet.
"Ring City is never afraid of war!
Blood is the foundation of Ring City!
Bones are the walls of Ring City!
And the souls of the dead?
They are the most delicious desserts! "
The voice still came from the throne on the right, but compared to the cold laugh from before, this time, the voice from the throne was filled with bloodlust and killing intent.
Following the voice, some of the aura from the throne on the right started to spread out.
Instantly, the whole hall was filled with the stench of blood, as if a ton of rotten blood was poured into the hall.
The soul fire in Scarlet's eye sockets flickered.
It returned to normal after a while.
"Of course!
We are never afraid of war! "
Scarlet suppressed the shudders in its heart and said obediently.
It hated this feeling.
But it couldn't do anything about it.
It was not due to the difference in strength. Rather, it was due to the fact that the original 'contract' wasn't with the Three Kings, but with King Ren.
Although the three kings in front of it weren't King Ren, the 'contract' between the three kings and King Ren could still affect its' contract 'with King Ren. Scarlet laughed coldly in its heart when it recalled King Ren's foolish actions, but on the surface, it became even more respectful. It said, "We aren't afraid of war. We are powerful and invincible, but it doesn't mean we can be used as cannon fodder. Not only will we be mocked by others, but we will also suffer unnecessary losses."
"More importantly …"
"It will tarnish the prestige of the three Majesties!"
"So, I don't think we should agree with him!"
The red skull bowed again as its voice trailed off.
"Are you teaching us how to do it?"
The voice on the throne on the right was filled with dissatisfaction.
Scarlet, which was about to straighten its back, bent down again.
"Why would I teach Your Majesty what to do?"
"It's just a suggestion!"
"A suggestion from the bottom of my heart!"
Scarlet said in fear and trepidation.
"You …"
"Enough!"
"Where is Viktor?"
The voice on the throne on the right was interrupted by the voice on the throne in the middle.
Unlike the frenzied and harsh voice on the right, the voice on the throne in the middle was very soft and pleasant.
"He is washing up and changing his clothes."
"Your Majesty, you know he swam here from the Reek River."
Scarlet said awkwardly.
After hearing the words' Reek River ', the figure on the throne in the middle leaned back unnaturally.
Not just the king on the throne in the middle, the other kings on the left and right reacted the same way.
The king on the throne on the right even shouted loudly.
"Bastard!
"You must make sure that he is clean!"
"If he dirties my carpet, I'll hang you and him on the walls to dry!"
It seemed like the Reek River's power was endless.
Even the three kings of Ring City had to avoid the sharp edge.
After all, no one would go against a septic tank.
If one really went against a septic tank, no matter who won, they would be covered in feces.
"I'll make sure he has to wash himself three times."
Scarlet bowed again before leaving the grand hall.
The moment it left the grand hall, the soul fire in its eye sockets flickered again.
Everything went smoothly!
It was much easier than it thought.
After a hundred years of living together, it knew how to deal with the three kings of Ring City.
Blindly following them wasn't feasible.
Some methods that went against the rules would often produce miraculous results.
Of course, it had to control the degree well.
Otherwise, it would only produce the opposite effect.
Compared to the hot-tempered and easy to understand King Liao, Scarlet was even more fearful.
It was even more afraid of the gentle King Reow.
As for King Qi, who rarely spoke?
It couldn't see through him at all.
If it wasn't for King Qi sitting there every time, it would have thought King Qi didn't exist.
King Qi was also a formidable foe without a doubt!
Scarlet's soul fire flickered rapidly when it thought about the three of them that it would have to face.
However, it returned to normal right away.
It had found an ally.
An ally with ulterior motives and an unreliable ally.
But!
It was enough as long as it was useful!
With that thought in mind, Scarlet hastened its steps. When it returned to the guest room, Victor was already done washing up.
"I suggest you spray some … oh, right, perfume.
That's what your people call me, right? "
Scarlet said.
"Compared to perfume, I am more interested in knowing when will the three kings want to see me?"
Victor asked.
"After you spray the perfume!"
Scarlet stretched out its hand that had been hidden in its sleeve and gestured to Viktor that everything was going well.
Victor wasn't surprised by the gesture.
The reason why he chose Scarlet as his ally was because Scarlet had the ability to carry out his plan.
He knew much more than Scarlet thought.
"Do you think I came out of there looking like I was carrying something?"
Victor asked back.
"Of course not.
The only robe you had was given to you by me.
That's why I prepared something else for you. "
Scarlet then took out a small glass bottle from its tattered sleeve. There was some black liquid inside, but when the cork was removed, the smell of grass and mud wafted out.
The smell was faint, it couldn't be picked up without a careful sniff.
However, it had great concealment abilities.
At least when the smell appeared, the stench in the room was gone instantly.
"This is the essence of the grass seeds that I gathered from the ground.
I usually use it during Ring City's celebrations. "
Scarlet introduced.
Without saying a word, Victor took the small bottle and poured half of it on himself.
Scarlet looked at the scene in satisfaction.
Both sides were smart people.
They knew some things didn't need to be said.
Contracts were always the foundation.
Some necessary means were the prerequisites for further cooperation.
The essence extracted from the grass seeds was real.
However, Scarlet added something special into it.
It was nothing in a short period of time.
If it wasn't mixed with something else for a long time, it would rot away.
"Please follow me.
"Remember everything I told you."
"When you see the three majesties, you must maintain your respect."
Scarlet reminded Kieran.
Victor nodded.
However, when Viktor followed the red skull into the King's Hall and saw the three kings sitting in the shadows, he stood straight and didn't have the slightest intention of bowing.
Scarlet quietly pulled Victor's sleeve.
However, not only did Victor ignore him, but he even took a step forward.
The soul fire in Scarlet's eye sockets started to jump rapidly.
Just when Scarlet was about to take the next step, King Liao, who sat on the right throne, spoke.
"Hmph!
"Ignorant mortal!"
"Do you wish to show your honor by such conduct?"
Do you know what happened to the last guy who did this? "
King Liao's cold grunt echoed in the grand hall like thunder.
The threatening words were accompanied by King Liao's aura, crashing down on Victor like a real mountain.
Victor's face turned pale against the aura.
He didn't step back, neither did he bow.
He tried his best to straighten his body.
"You hung them on the city walls to dry?"
Victor asked.
"You knew?"
King Liao was stunned.
"I went through the city gate and came here. Those are very conspicuous on your city wall."
Victor said in a calm tone.
"Don't worry, you will soon become one of them."
King Liao obviously felt like he was being toyed with, he angrily slammed the handle of his throne.
Right away, several translucent evil spirits sprung out from the ground and tried to grab Victor.
A bone-chilling cold spread throughout his body.
Victor looked at the scene calmly, as if he wasn't the one being grabbed.
Just when he was about to be dragged out of the grand hall, the voice from the middle throne sounded.
"Wait!"
Amidst the gentle and sweet-sounding voice, the evil spirit dispersed and Victor returned once more.
However, this time, it was different from before.
Victor respectfully bowed towards the throne in the middle.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Victor said.
"I don't like people who play tricks.
The reason why I asked you to come back is because I am curious about why you are here.
"If you can give me a satisfactory answer, then I will spare you."
If not … "
"I won't hang you on the city walls to dry, I will drown you in the Reek River."
The pleasant voice was still as warm as before, but the content of the words sent chills down one's spine.
Victor smiled faintly.
"Your Majesty, do you want to leave this place?"
He asked.
It might seem like a normal sentence but it caused the aura on the throne to change.
Not just King Reow on the middle throne, even King Liao on the right throne and King Qi, who hadn't spoken a word, started to move. The shadows around Victor seemed to be affected by the three of them, gathering above his head like a dark cloud, suffocating one's breath. Then, a voice louder than Thunder echoed in the grand hall.
"What do you know?
Scarlet, you are the one who revealed the secret?
You deserve to die! "
The first one was from King Reow.
The second one was from King Liao. As he spoke, a hostile aura enveloped Scarlet.
The third one was from King Qi. The moment his voice subsided, the whole grand hall turned cold, as if it had fallen into an icy hell!
It wasn't an illusion!
Victor could clearly see his own breath coming out of his mouth.
As for Scarlet?
Although it knew Victor would use some special methods to persuade the three kings, it didn't expect it to be this special. It cursed Victor in its heart but the trembling from the 'contract' forced it to bow.
"I didn't reveal anything about your Majesties!
"I'm willing to swear an oath!"
Scarlet said.
"It has nothing to do with me.
I've investigated this place before I came here. "
Victor said.
"Investigation?!
You are lying!
Ring City will never be investigated! "
King Liao laughed ferociously.
"That's the usual situation!
What if …
What if I used the Philosopher's Stone? "
Victor said with the same smile.
The Philosopher's Stone?!
The three kings were stunned.
The aura in the grand hall dissipated right away.
The grand hall returned to normal and the three kings looked at each other in the shadows.
They had also heard of the Philosopher's Stone's name, especially the various miraculous effects of the Philosopher's Stone.
If it was really the Philosopher's Stone …
There was a high chance that they could escape this place!
Escape this cage!
King Reow's heart was anxious but he didn't say anything.
King Reow looked at King Liao.
King Liao immediately understood what King Reow meant.
"So?
You used the Philosopher's Stone to spy on us, just to trick us into helping you destroy your enemies? "
"Of course not!
"That's our common enemy!"
Because the Philosopher's Stone is in their hands! "
Victor corrected King Liao, and before King Liao could speak, he continued, "As a matter of fact, this is all part of my plan. I obtained a shard of the Philosopher's Stone by chance, and through it, I confirmed that the core of the Philosopher's Stone is among those people. However, under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be able to get my hands on the core, so I suggested the Battle of Winter Night, and I hope to get your help, Your Majesties."
"I really need that core!"
Only with that core can I find a way to resurrect my wife! "
"Of course!
Resurrecting a mortal won't consume too much of the core, it's enough for your Majesties to escape.
"I can guarantee everything I said."
I am willing to sign the contract. "
After saying that, Victor bowed respectfully again.
The three kings didn't say anything. A contract flew out of thin air and landed in front of Victor.
Victor glanced at it, bit his finger, and signed his name.
After the contract was signed, the atmosphere in the grand hall eased up, even King Liao kept his hostility away.
The contract was signed.
It proved that Victor wasn't lying.
The matter about the Philosopher's Stone was real.
Then …
It was their hope!
"Tell us, what are you going to do?"
King Reow asked.
"I want these humans and monsters who are here to welcome their juniors to find something special — it doesn't need to be too valuable, but it's enough to move them."
Victor said.
The three kings exchanged gazes and nodded in unison.
"Very well!"
A promise.
The whole King City was moved.
Precious items and boxes of Crossing Coins were moved out from the treasure vault.
The guards of King City stood guard around the place.
They were waiting for the right time to move out.
The day affected them too much.
Night was the best time.
As they waited quietly, the guards didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes watching all of this with glowing eyes from underground.
