Chapter 837

Budiha, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head suddenly, his face was full of astonishment.

He betrayed Vikramaditya II and sold the royal treasures, not all for his own life, but he had heard about the deeds of the chairman of Rennes in front of him, knew Rennes' status and influence in the empire, and wanted to take the opportunity to cling to , try your luck.

Never expected that Ryan would directly promise Gupta the throne!

Moreover, Ren's tone was very casual, as if he was not talking about a ruler with half a billion people, but a trivial matter.

It's so unreal.

But Ren's expression didn't look like he was joking. Budiha seemed to be hit by a pie falling from the sky. The pie was so big and heavy that it knocked him out. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to respond .

In the hall, all members of the royal family were also stunned.

"You don't want to?" Ren asked back.

"I, I, I..." Budiha, who was always eloquent, suddenly became stuttering, as if he couldn't speak. He quickly patted the magic badge on his chest, activated the tranquility technique, forced himself to calm down, and then asked cautiously: "My lord, is what you said true?"

Budiha knew that Rennes had a lot of influence in the empire, but it seemed that he hadn't reached the point where he could appoint the Gupta king at will.

Besides, will the empire allow Gupta to have a new king?

Ren saw his doubts at a glance and thought that he did not have the power, but he didn't want to explain further, and said indifferently: "Since I let you be the king, it's no one else's turn to sit on the throne."

Budiha is very good at observing words and expressions, and immediately judged from Ren's attitude that the empire must have made some decisions on the fate of the Gupta Kingdom, but he didn't know it, and it was very likely that Speaker Ren was behind it.

But he didn't agree, in case the throne is a trap for the empire...

"My lord, I'm just a collateral blood of the Shivaji family. If Gupta needs a new king, there are many people here who are more suitable than me." Budiha cautiously tested.

The princes and grandchildren in the crowd were all refreshed.

Their gazes at Rennes changed from despair to hope, and to expectations.

However, Ren didn't even look at them. It was precisely because of the distant blood relationship between Budiha and Vikramaditya II that he chose him.

What the empire wants is a puppet king, not a legitimate heir.

The succession of Vikramaditya II's direct descendants will only bring trouble, and it will not be conducive to the empire's manipulation behind the scenes.

Budiha is an offshoot of the royal family, barely able to inherit the throne and legitimacy, but lacks the background of fame. Without the support of the empire, he cannot secure this position. For his own crown, he will try his best to suppress potential competitors and obey the orders of the empire from.

This is an overt conspiracy, and Budiha is powerless to resist after knowing it, and there is no turning back.

Even if he wants to give up the throne, many people in Gupta will regard him as a deadly enemy after sitting in that position. Giving up power is equivalent to giving up life.

Naturally, Ren would not explain these things to Budiha.

He snorted coldly, "I have the final say on who will be the king, you can refuse..."

Budiha sensed an extreme danger, as long as he said "no", he would meet Vikramaditya II immediately.

"I do!"

He quickly shouted loudly: "Speaker Ren, I wish to be the new king of Gupta."

Then he knocked his head to the ground, prostrated himself at Ren's feet, his forehead collided heavily with the ground, and made a loud bang.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty Budiha I." Ren smiled with satisfaction, "Get up, a king should have his own dignity."

"Thank you, Speaker Ryan!"

Budiha got up from the ground, and when he heard Ren calling him, he was immediately elated. In his life, he never dreamed that he would become the king of Gupta one day, a monarch who ruled tens of millions of people and a vast territory !

Still excited, he turned his head and met the eyes of the members of the royal family.

In the past few decades, Budiha has always been the favorite of Vikramaditya II. He tried every means to curry favor with the king and worked hard to gain the trust of the king and built the treasury under his castle. He has seen too many people of all kinds by Vikramaditya II's side, and has experienced all kinds of conspiracies, so he has cultivated his eyesight of observing words and deeds.

Anger, hatred, jealousy, indifference...

He read the hearts of these king's descendants from his eyes at a glance, and took the role of the new king, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, these people cannot be kept. Revenge of the Empire."

"Budiha, you are shameless!"

"I despise the villain, why didn't I see that you are such a person before, the father trusts you so much..."

The family members of Vikramaditya II were furious and cursed Budiha.

Among them was a young prince with legendary strength, who blocked his family with his body, stared at Budiha, and shouted fearlessly on his face: "Budiha, I swear to Nemesis, as long as I live one day , I will never let you go!"

There was no fluctuation on Budiha's face, calmly waiting for Ren's order.

No matter how ruthless these people yelled, it was useless, as long as Ren gave an order, they would all become dead, and the words of the dead didn't matter at all.

Ren knew exactly what Budiha was thinking, so naturally he couldn't let him do what he wanted.

"I always keep my word. Since Budiha is willing to hand over the treasure, you will be free." Ren waved his hand, causing the Ultramarines and Thundercast Soldiers to retreat and remove the siege.

Budiha's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock: "My lord, you can't let them go!"

"Why?" Ren asked back.

"because……"

Budiha was about to say to let them go, and he would rebel in the Gupta Kingdom in the future and shake his own rule. He suddenly noticed the flickering in Ren's eyes and was startled. Only then did he realize that Ren was letting these people go on purpose Yes, just to make them right with themselves.

Realizing this, he immediately shut up, bowed his head and said, "Please forgive me, my lord, I was just confused for a moment and dare not question your order."

"It's good that you understand." Ren nodded.

The eyes of the soul saw that Budiha's mood was changing rapidly, and he felt hatred towards himself. Ren snorted in his heart. This person was quick-witted, and he guessed his intentions so quickly. It might not be right to choose a smart person as king. suitable.

Do you want another one?

Ren had this idea in his mind and immediately rejected it. Sometimes smart people can control it better. If Budiha doesn't understand in the future, then change it again.

"You don't want to go?" Ren asked the crowd.

All the members of the royal family were in shock and couldn't believe that Ren just let him go like this. The feeling of near-death made them feel like they were in a dream.

"Go!"

The princes and grandsons came to their senses and guessed what Ryan was up to, and hurriedly urged the family members to leave before Ryan changed his mind.

Before running out of the castle hall, many people turned their heads and cast hatred-filled eyes.

However, most of them looked at Budiha, not Rennes.

Although Ren killed the king, robbed the family's treasures, and ruined their country, but he spared his life. It was more because of the different positions of the country that made Ren an enemy. Moreover, this enemy was too terrible. So powerful that they dare not expect to be able to take revenge.

Instead, it was Budiha, they hated it even more!

This shameless villain betrayed the king and stole the throne. They vowed to make Budiha pay the price and take back what belonged to them.

After the crowd ran out of the castle, they rushed down the hill.

There were hundreds of extraordinary guards outside the castle, they were hidden in the fortifications on the hill, and before they had time to go up the hill to support, the castle fell.

These extraordinary guards are all elites from the Super Japanese Legion, and they are extremely loyal to the royal family. They joined the crowd who escaped from the castle, immediately protected the members of the royal family from going down the mountain, escaped from the castle at the fastest speed, and disappeared without looking back.

Standing in the dilapidated hall, Budiha lowered his head and dared not make a sound.

Ren looked at him. The current Budiha can be said to have betrayed his family and servants. The Ultramarines did not kill his family and servants, but all his own extraordinary guards were dead. On his own, without the support of the empire, he might have died suddenly on the day he became king.

But this is exactly what I want.

Ren said, "Lead the way."

"Yes, my lord."

Budiha put away his thoughts, and obediently led Ren through the hall, went around to a cellar behind the castle, and opened two secret doors, revealing a secret passage leading to the ground.

The secret passage is 100 meters deep underground, like a complex labyrinth. There are many organs and magic traps arranged in the rock walls. If someone breaks in rashly, even a legendary high-level wizard will find it very tricky and it will take a lot of time to break through.

However, with Budiha, the traitor, leading the way, it was much easier.

He was very familiar with the underground treasure house, and he took the initiative to disarm the trap in the secret passage without Rennes and the Ultramarines taking action.

After a while.

"My lord, we have arrived."

Budiha led Ryan to the deepest part of the underground labyrinth, and stopped in front of a tall metal gate, behind which was the treasure house of Vikramaditya II.

Ren observed the gate more than four meters high, with a rune circle engraved on it.

This is an extremely brilliant magic gate, judging from the layout technique and the structure of the runes, it should have come from the hands of a holy soul wizard.

Ren thought of the chief court wizard, Chamberlain.

The wild holy soul wizard ran away with the students before the shadow shield collapsed, and was never seen again.

There is a complete living area outside the Might and Magic Gate. Many things have been used, and the breath of the Flame Sword Master who was killed by him just now remains. As expected, he was sent by Vikramaditya II to guard the treasure. He was the last insurance of this magic door, but he didn't play it out.

The flame sword master not only died, but also absorbed his soul and transformed it into electricity.

The soul of a twentieth-level holy rank powerhouse converted more than 2,000 grids of electricity, which slightly made up for the consumption of this battle.

"My lord, I know the secret language of this magic door." Budiha said very attentively: "I will help you open it."

Ren shook his head and said, "No, you go out."

A random door opens next to it.

Budiha was a little puzzled. He knew how difficult this magic door was to crack. Even if Ryan was a wizard, he couldn't crack it quickly. Out of curiosity, he walked through any door obediently and found himself back in the castle hall.

Half of the Ultramarines stayed in the hall, and Budiha didn't dare to make small moves in front of them, so he could only wait obediently.

Deep underground, Ren stepped forward and pressed his hand on the metal door to activate the door key.

There was a soft sound.

The Might and Magic Gate sent out strange fluctuations, and the rune circle on it was like melting ice and snow, and all of them failed in a blink of an eye, and the metal gate opened to both sides.

Dazzling golden light shone from behind the door.

Ren walked in calmly. This treasure house is very wide, rectangular in size, and the ceiling is more than six meters high, like a palace.

The most striking thing in the treasury is the gold stacked in the middle. The gold bricks, which are about the size of a palm, are stacked neatly. There are a total of more than a dozen piles, and each pile is nearly two meters high, emitting golden light. Make people look away.

Even Ren, who had an unknown amount of wealth, couldn't help but beat faster.

He had previously guessed that Vikramaditya II ruled the Gupta Kingdom for more than two hundred years, searched for countless treasures, and the accumulation of previous kings, and emptied the treasury before the war. The scale of the royal treasure must be It was huge, but the gold in front of him still far exceeded his expectations.

The value of these gold bricks alone may be worth 30 million gold shields!

There are hundreds of large metal boxes around the treasure house, stacked together, almost reaching the ceiling. Ren didn't need to open the box, and the all-seeing eye could see through it. It contained precious magic alloys, alchemy materials, gems, and magic items.

There is actually a box specially used to store dimensional space rings, as many as hundreds of them.

Among them, the number of magic items is more, and there is no shortage of epic levels.

Ren quickly glanced around and saw a lot of alchemy materials that he urgently needed, enough to make dozens of sets of power armor. The value of these collections is lower than that of gold, but it also exceeds 20 million gold shields, and many materials cannot be bought with money.

With gold and alchemy materials, the total value of this treasure house is around 50 million gold shields!

"Damn, get rich."

Ren was secretly refreshed, and blurted out a beautiful language.

As soon as the cannon is fired, ten thousand taels of gold. War is indeed the best opportunity to make a fortune!

With this treasure, I should not have to worry about money in a short time, and I can build power armor as much as I want, and the progress of the Star Destroyer does not have to slow down, and it can even be accelerated.

With so many treasures, the Nebula Ring would definitely not be able to hold them.

The power armor of the Ultramarines comes with dimensional space, which can help take away some, but it is far from enough.

However, Ryan had other ideas.

He first emptied the nebula ring, then filled it with gold, and then cast the eight-ring spell "Transfer from another world", his figure quickly disappeared from the treasure house, passed through the void planes in an instant, and appeared in a space with a diameter of only a kilometer. The narrow planes on the left and right.

Ren returned to his half-plane, looked up, and a huge battleship made entirely of metal had begun to take shape.
