Tantric family to divine dynasty

Chapter 439 Number Thirty-Five: Box of Illusion
Darren followed Marshal Horatio with a smile. The two left the white marble Lorne Royal Palace, walked to the outside of the palace, and got on the carriage belonging to the Horatio family.

Although cars are very common in the Loen Empire, for the nobles, only horse-drawn carriages can still symbolize status.

He said quickly in the carriage: "When I met His Majesty just now, thanks to Marshal Horatio's persuasion, His Majesty was able to easily express his support for us, Syate."

Marshal Horatio nodded slightly and said calmly: "I am not speaking for you."

"You should be very clear about this matter. I just understand how the empire should proceed at this moment. As for the interests of you and the Syat people, they are not within my consideration."

What a practical man, and not at all hypocritical, Darren commented in his heart. According to normal social etiquette, he would not say what he just said, but Horatio said it very bluntly.

"But it is a fact that you helped Siat. No matter what, I will be grateful to you in my heart."

He nodded and soon noticed how unusual Marshal Horatio's carriage was.

Because directly raising Warcraft is against the rules of the Orthodox Church, although the noble families on the continent of Oden want to use Warcraft to pull their carts, they cannot do so, so they all have various horses with Warcraft bloodlines.

The horses used by Marshal Horatio's family to pull carriages are dragon-blood unicorns with dragon blood. They are almost pitch black with lightning patterns, and only their horns and manes are snow-white. They look very handsome and tall, more than twice the size of normal horses, and their horns can emit flashes of lightning.

The fastest thing is that even if it is just an animal used to pull a cart, it still has great power.

This carriage has no coachman at all. They have almost human intelligence and know exactly what to do.

Then the carriage started slowly.

"The two dragon-blooded unicorns used to pull the cart even have a power of qualitative change... Marshal Horatio, your family is too powerful."

Darren knew very well that it never hurt to give some heartfelt praise to anyone.

Of course after praising him, he held back from saying the last words in his mind, which were, "Brother, I really want to taste what the Dragon Blood Unicorn tastes like."

"No matter what, no matter how gorgeous and noble a horse is, it can only serve as a horse." Marshal Horatio looked straight ahead and spoke in a low and majestic voice.

Darren nodded slightly again, recalling the information provided by Kuroshio in his mind.

For hundreds of years, there have been three top families in the Loen Empire, namely the families of Emperor Loen, Marshal Horatio, and Prime Minister William.

The most noble is undoubtedly the "Gods-protected" Freyr royal family. Their family has a lot of powerful blood power, and basically has marriage relations with half of the top aristocratic families in the Oden continent.

Prime Minister William and Bishop Karaniya are both from the "Sunbird" Pitt family, which is also a family with the blood of the sun god. At the same time, the Pope of the Sun Church also has the same origin as them.

Marshal Horatio's Wesley family has always called itself the "Sword Bearers". They are also a terrifying family with divine blood, but the divine blood they possess is the "Emperor of Order" among the six gods.

Finally, they left the city in the carriage and arrived at the manor in the suburbs that belonged to Marshal Horatio's "Sword Bearer" family.

What was a little beyond Darren's expectations was that the scale of the manor was almost the same as the Fisher family manor. Although it was not a small scale, it could only be considered average within the upper class of the Loen Empire.

He quickly recalled what Marshal Horatio had just said. If he asked why the manor was not expanded, the other party would definitely answer "the manor only needs to provide accommodation"...

Darren once again thought back to the description of Horatio's character given in the intelligence.

According to Kuroshio's various investigations, for the majestic iron-blooded marshal, practicality is the first priority, and all other red tape and pretense are meaningless.

He seemed to have no particular favorite things, only a lot of things he really hated, and he spent his whole life fighting those things he hated.

If it weren't for the intelligence about the Black Tide, Darren might have made mistakes in communication and persuasion.

The estate the two entered was located in a vast green field, surrounded by lush forests, with gentle rolling hills in the distance and a clear stream flowing at the foot of the hills.

The exterior walls of the manor are covered with mottled marks left by the years. The roof is covered with dark tiles, shining with warm golden color in the afterglow of the setting sun. A bronze lion head is hung on the gate, looking majestic and solemn.

There are also several small farmhouses and warehouses scattered around the manor, and the warehouses are filled with abundant grain and agricultural products. When Darren walked into the manor, the first thing that caught his eye was a well-tended garden, with various flowers scattered in the flower beds, bees flying among the flowers, butterflies dancing, and the air filled with a faint floral fragrance.

Not long after, the two of them came to a seemingly ordinary room in the manor. It looked like a spotless storage room with things neatly arranged. This room was built entirely with alchemical materials, which could isolate the perception ability of the outside world...

Just in theory.

In fact, Carl had noticed from afar that this seemingly ordinary room not only had a powerful magic circle that could resist all kinds of attacks, but also had a barrier that could break invisibility and automatically alarm...

The most important thing is that there are a considerable number of forbidden and rare objects stored here!
He felt the pain.

"There are actually twenty-five forbidden items..."

"I never thought that I would suffer such great pain and despair..."

When consciousness followed Darren's body here, it was like a hungry ghost coming to the most upscale restaurant in the world, seeing countless delicious dishes but unable to move.

Carl wanted to die. It was rare for him to experience such a painful moment in decades!

"This forbidden artifact is an aid from the empire, and also a part of the 'reward'." Marshal Horatio said.

After the Iron-Blooded Marshal finished speaking, he took down a square glass box from an ordinary old cabinet in the room with an expressionless face and handed it to Darren who was constantly observing the surroundings.

"what?"

Darren found something very wrong as soon as he picked it up. The weight of the glazed square box was so terrifying that even in human form he had to use all his strength to lift it.

If it were an ordinary person, he would not be able to shake it at all.

Marshal Horatio continued without looking away:

"Forbidden Item No. 35 is a relatively important Forbidden Item. Its name is 'Box of Illusion'. It is very simple to use. Once it is opened, it will emit a light that can make everything disappear."

"Well, basically anything that is illuminated by it, whether it is a person or an object, will instantly collapse and be destroyed. It can even threaten the existence of the apocalypse level."

"Theoretically, if the exposure time is long enough, even Apocalypse can be completely killed. I can guarantee this... but you'd better never try it, because Apocalypse can kill you a hundred times in that time." Marshal Horatio said calmly.

Darren was shocked and excited. It turned out to be a forbidden item that could kill Apocalypse...

Then there is a twist in Horatio's words.

"But its price is really huge. The smaller the number of the forbidden item, the greater the price. The person who uses this box must be a transcendent at the monarch level. Once the user uses it... he will disappear on the spot and be annihilated..."

So that's what happened. Darren soon realized why Marshal Horatio gave him this forbidden item instead of other double-digit forbidden items.

And it’s not just a loan, it’s a gift!

Because the cost of using it is too high!
The "Box of Disillusionment" can only be used by those at the monarch level, and cannon fodder cannot be allowed to open the box. I'm afraid it would be a rather useless thing for the resource-rich Loen Empire.

but……

"The Fisher family and the Syat people are very grateful for the assistance of the Loen Empire!"

Darren's face was all smiles, his words of thanks were sincere, and the excitement in his tone was hard to conceal.

Huh?
Marshal Horatio felt a little strange and stared at Darren Fisher in confusion.

He had the impression that there weren't many powerful monarchs in Risyat, and even if there were many, they couldn't kill anyone at will. Although this thing had strategic value, its cost-effectiveness was very low among the two-digit forbidden items. How could he be so excited?
In fact, there was one person who was even more excited.

That’s Carl who is extremely greedy!
