Chapter 932: Dark Demon Seizes a Victory (4k)
Gavin North shook his head and said, “It was just an experience. Let’s not talk about this. What do you think about what he said?”
Stanley Longfellow smiled, “How could it be seen? He is threatening us!”
Gavin North said, “Whether he is threatening or not doesn’t matter. What’s important is, do you think his purpose is the same as ours?”
Stanley Longfellow’s expression turned serious immediately, “To be honest, I can’t be sure.”
Gavin North nodded, “In our previous conversation, he didn’t reveal anything. But although he didn’t show it, his urgency can be seen from his schedule. Could it be that something we don’t know is about to happen?”
Stanley Longfellow narrowed his eyes suddenly and said, “Impossible! The information he has can’t be more than ours! After all, we have…”
Gavin North said, “You forgot, Principal Altair of Saint Maryann Academy explored the Heavenly Court for a long time before returning. She went there herself!”
Stanley Longfellow said, “But the court’s prophets have already made predictions, Cynthia Saint Altair’s trip to the Heavenly Court will yield no results. She doesn’t have divine blood, she couldn’t even pass through that door!”
Gavin North calmed down and said, “Even if you’re right, Principal Altair was blocked by that door. But since she was blocked, she should have known the information. This time, they are coming back, there must be a way to break through.”
Stanley Longfellow immediately said, “Principal Altair isn’t here! She can’t appear either!”
Gavin North covered his head and said, “Don’t believe the prophets so much, Longfellow.”
Stanley Longfellow said, “You don’t know what price we’ve paid! Forget it, talking to you about this is useless. In short, you need to know that Principal Altair won’t come, the Valkyrie is also trapped in the capital and can’t get out, Caleb Norris is still at Saint Maryann Academy, the queen of the moon elves can’t leave their territory. Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The future of the north lies in your hands!”
Gavin North looked at him and said, “Then what about you? Longfellow. Or rather, what does the king behind you want?”
Stanley Longfellow grinned and said, “Didn’t I say? The king only wants your loyalty.”
Gavin North’s gaze darkened slightly and whispered, “Even if this fails, the north will always be part of the kingdom.”
Stanley Longfellow extended his finger and shook it, “Gavin North, haven’t you understood yet?”
Gavin North sighed and said, “My loyalty to the king is as clear as the sun and the moon.”
“That’s good.” Stanley Longfellow smiled and said, “If the prince and princess weren’t so ambitious, such a good thing wouldn’t have fallen on you. Seize the opportunity. By the way, don’t forget to sign this contract.”
As he spoke, he pulled out a scroll from his sleeve and spread it out in front of Gavin North for the nth time.
Gavin North stared at the contract, and finally signed his name this time.
“Great! I wish us a successful cooperation!” Stanley Longfellow’s smile widened.
“Professor Harvey, it’s always you.”
Looking at the contract paper gradually disappearing, Dark sighed lightly. Professor Harvey chuckled and stretched out his finger to close the floating eyeball.
After leaving the Duke of the North’s camp, the two returned to the academy’s camp to rest temporarily.
But what Dark did not expect was that the moment Professor Harvey sat down, he took out an eyeball the size of a fist and then released a projection.
“A one-time projection tool, unfortunately, many things were sacrificed for concealment, it can only last less than ten minutes,” Professor Harvey said indifferently.
Gavin North and Stanley Longfellow probably never thought that in that heavily guarded camp, there would be something that could penetrate countless layers of barriers to transmit information.
Moreover, it didn’t cause any disturbance.
All their conversations during that period were completely presented to Dark and the others.
After sighing, Dark lamented again, “Too bad, they are too cautious. They even speak in private without being open.”
Professor Harvey said, “That may be true, but from this conversation, we can gather enough information.”
Dark nodded and said, “Professor Harvey, do you know what kind of contract Gavin North signed?”
Professor Harvey regretfully said, “The eye I sent can only convey sound and visual information, but that contract must be extraordinary. Look, all we see from our perspective is a black fog. I even think that even Count Longfellow can’t see what’s written on the contract paper. This is a special contract between the king and Gavin North.”
Dark said, “According to their words, the minimum effectiveness of this contract should guarantee Gavin North’s loyalty. If the north is ultimately inherited by Gavin North, it means it will be absolutely loyal to the king. This might be unfavorable to us, but it’s not something we need to consider now.”
Professor Harvey nodded, “What we need to consider now is their true purpose.”
Dark said, “Longfellow mentioned the king’s children, he must be referring to Charles and Eliza. Combining the situation of the Church of the Saints and the elemental race, their purpose might be limited by age.”
Professor Harvey said, “This point should be clear by tomorrow morning. If it is indeed related to age, they should bring a few young people.”
Dark leaned back in his chair, looked up at Olivia’s chin, and asked, “How many children does Gavin North have?”
Olivia spoke directly, “Gavin North had children with two different wives when he was in his twenties and thirties. The first wife has passed away, her son is just over twenty. The second wife is still alive, and she gave birth to a girl who is fifteen years old now.”
Dark said, “Referring to the saint knights, this pair of children should be within the age range. Do you think Gavin North will bring them all into danger?”
Professor Harvey’s face showed a playful smile, “No matter what they want, entering the Mountain of Gods means facing death at any moment. I think Gavin North won’t bring both children. As for which one he will bring, that’s beyond my guessing.”
Dark shook his head and said, “Danger and reward are proportional. Since Gavin North has signed that strange contract, it means he has placed a heavy bet. Who knows what he truly thinks at this moment? Anyway, let’s wait and see.”
Professor Harvey smiled and said, “But we did gain something. At least we know a bit about the use of divine blood.”
“Yes.” Dark couldn’t help smiling, “Anyway, we’ve rested. It’s time to visit the Church of the Saints.”
[Good morning, hugs (´▽`ʃƪ).]
