Chapter 131 The Whereabouts of the King's Cup

Fortunately, Mengdie's guess was not wrong.Among the several black markets led by Xio, a store was finally discovered, in which there were indeed several jewels that were stolen from the treasury that night.Seeing these shining jewels, Mengdie's eyes really lit up!Seeing her excited expression, Edward, who had been struggling to intervene in the conversation between Xio and Mengdie since last night, swallowed his saliva and walked forward.

"You... Do you like it very much? These earrings must look good on you..."

Seriously, if for the average woman, these jewelry are really quite attractive.But obviously, Edward misunderstood the meaning of Mengdie's happy expression at this moment.Therefore, it is not surprising that Mengdie gave her a blank stare.

If it comes to combat, Edward is indeed a good player.But now it's not fighting, but searching, so Edward's brain may not be suitable.Mengdie ignored Edward, and continued to look at the many jewelry brought out by the boss. After not seeing her ruby ​​necklace, she walked behind Xio, who seemed to be an old acquaintance, who was having a pleasant conversation with the shop owner, and gently Pull him a bit.

"Hugh, there is nothing I want. You can ask the boss again to see if there is anything else."

Xio nodded, tapped the ground lightly with his staff, and smiled at the shop owner, asking if there were any more jewels that entered at the same time as this batch.

"Hmm... more jewels..."

The shop owner glanced at Mengdie behind Xio, because she was wearing a cloak to cover her face at the moment.This kind of dress is not so unusual in this kind of shady black market.The shop owner just looked at Mengdie for a while, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Xiu, what exactly does your friend want? The ones here are all treasures. I just got them two days ago, and each one is priceless. what."

Edward fully agrees with the metaphor of "priceless city".Looking at these rare jewels from his own country, now they are lying on the black market for sale, the pain in his heart is really indescribable.If you want to recycle all these jewels, you don't know about the Year of the Monkey.

Mengdie shook her head, patted Xio's back secretly, and continued to exhort.Xio nodded slightly, and said again: "These goods... are all good, but I don't have what I want. Is there anything else? For example, something that is... a little more 'special'?"

Hearing this, the relaxed look on the black market boss's face suddenly disappeared.He began to scan the three strange faces of Mengdie, Edward, and Nia again.Especially Mengdie, who couldn't see his face clearly, made him pay attention longer.After thinking about it for a while, he stretched out his finger to check Xio, and whispered something in his ear.

Suddenly, the smile on Xio's face also disappeared!With a livid face, he turned his head away, greeted the three of Mengdie and walked aside.

"What did he say?" Mengdie pinched the cloak and asked.

Xio pondered for a moment, and shifted his gaze from Mengdie's face to Edward's body.After a long time, he said slowly: "'King's Cup', there is news."

"what----!!!"

When Edward among the four heard the news, his eyes immediately changed!He hurriedly took a step forward, and said nervously, "The King's Cup? Hugh, are you sure it's really the King's Cup?!"

Xio nodded, and said: "There is no doubt. One of the people who came to sell jewelry at the beginning was an old acquaintance of the boss, and that person also had the logo of a black poisonous snake on his shoulder. It must be the Black Flame Snake. He and The boss mentioned that cup in the chat, this boss once participated in your father's enthronement ceremony, so he has a very deep impression on that luxurious and elegant cup. From the appearance description, it is almost the same."

Edward seemed even more excited. He put his arms around Xio's shoulders, and said anxiously: "Then... so did the boss buy it? Did he buy it?! That cup! That is the symbol of the king of our country One of them!!!”

Xio let him shake it until Edward finished speaking in a hurry, then he shook his head lightly and sighed regretfully: "I'm sorry, no. The 'King's Cup' is not an ordinary jewelry. , even if a certain country wants to hide it, it must first evaluate the strength of its own country and the Silver Moon Kingdom. Even if someone recognizes its value in the black market, few people would dare to buy it. However, the boss was talking to him I heard from friends chatting that their next stop seems to be the capital of the empire—Louwell City. According to my speculation, the King's Cup is likely to be taken down by them to the city of Luwell."

"Lowell City?!"

Startled, Edward blurted out.No matter how stupid his head was, he seemed to finally understand the seriousness of the matter.

"Hmm..." Mengdie's two curved and slender eyebrows frowned slightly, and she conjectured while contemplating, "Hypothetical, I mean hypothetical. If the relationship between the Black Flame Snake and the Luwell Empire There is some kind of communication, or a transaction. Then the Black Flame Snake handed over the Silver Moon Kingdom's King's Cup, which symbolizes royal power, to the Luwell Empire, so what will be the impact... What will it be?"

Xio stroked his chin, smiled slightly, and said, "Needless to say? As long as the Luwell Empire takes out that cup when the two armies are facing each other, the morale of the Silver Moon Army will collapse. , if you insult this cup...haha, the consequences are really unimaginable."

The more Edward heard it, the more frightened he became, and his face gradually turned pale.Heavy and anxious breathing began to fill his chest, and the hand that had been withdrawn from the sword hilt was already clenched unconsciously, and veins emerged from the back of the hand.
