Othua's War Banner

Chapter 273 0272: Quietly

Ken picked the lock on the deck with his dagger.

"Tsk, the taste is really exciting."

The smell gushing out of the cabin instantly made the food in the stomach rush to the throat.

This fermented product mixed with blood, feces and venom will have side effects.

[Status: Suffocation 2%]

[Corrosion resistance increased. 】

Ken was a little dizzy and waited for a while, but Langmingway had no effect.

The gray twilight poured into the gloomy cabin, making the darkness inside more layered.

Ken scanned it with the gray vision, then flipped down.

Langmingway followed closely behind.

It wasn't until the eyes of the two people gradually adapted to the darkness that they saw that there was still a hole in the surrounding hull for ventilation. At this time, those beams of light shot straight at the cage.

Like a sharp sword and steel spear, piercing the beast.

Ken didn't pay attention to the monster in the middle at first, but locked his attention on the surroundings - there were piles of treasures looted from all over Palotusbi in front of him.

Armor, artwork, antiques, fragments of magic.

Each of them can be exchanged for quite lucrative bets, but their origins are unknown, and they can only be shipped to the southern border countries for dumping, otherwise they will be hunted down by the warrings until there is no bone left.

"I'm curious, don't the port managers have any belief in the North?"

Ken fiddled casually.

He couldn't take this wealth with him, and it was even more impossible for him to take it as his own in front of the port manager under any circumstances.

Ken casually opened a wooden box.

The baby inside is brought into view: two human teeth lie on the fine and smooth velvet base.

[Material: Witch Ritual Remains]

【Quality: Excellent】

Ken closed the lock and put the thing firmly back in place.

The witch priest is a priest in the tribe, and often has the responsibility of enlightening and educating children. He is one of the most important life mentors for many locals in the northern border.

The tombs of such characters are very sacred.

"You will be cursed by the old gods, who can tolerate such a thing? These things around, tsk tsk..."

Ken shook his head. "Anything is enough to die several times."

Langmingway frowned.

What he was thinking about was: this batch of things flowed into the southern border countries, and it was estimated that some black-hearted and crazy magicians would buy them.

The current situation is turbulent recently, and Pistonke is very active again.

"The people will be implicated by evil magic, and the interests often affect the flesh and blood. The souls who suffer should be these bastards!"

"Wow~"

Ken spread his palms, shrugged, and smiled exaggeratedly.

Lang Mingwei showed displeasure, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Since you have such ambitions and such noble feelings..."

Ken held a piece of ancient pottery, squinted his eyes and looked inside, while continuing to speak.

"Why do you want to be an expeditionary knight commander? You should stay in Norin Xiongdu and wrestle with ambitious politicians."

"You don't understand."

Langmingway seems to have been poked in his mind.

The recent situation in the Norin Kingdom is very unclear, and several ancient families have begun to contact outside forces.

On the bright side, it is to expand the influence of the empire abroad, but it reveals the tension on the eve of a great change.

It was also tough for the Lerbota family.

Langmingway accepted Burke's suggestion and started to develop from the periphery, far enough from Xiongdu to avoid being injured when it collapsed.

But as his military rank got higher and higher, he became more and more confused.

Ken put the antique back in its place, and looked over with a frown: "I really don't understand."

"You said."

"Whether it's Mr. Burke, Miss McGonagall, or even you..."

In the small space, there was only silence.

Ken says:
"The talents of Nuolin...why are they all arranged at the periphery of the power struggle? You are all implied to be far away from Xiongdu, the center of Nuolin, who is occupying it at this time?"

Langmingway froze in place.

He has been confused for a long time, and what he is unwilling to think about may have already got the answer.

Langmingway did not answer.

But from the bottom of his heart, he wished he could go back to the hotel immediately, and ask Burke Bartley to verify his conjecture.

Hiss--

Before Lang Mingwei could speak, he saw Mahalu raise his hand in the same gesture.

this voice...

Ken would never get it wrong.

He turned around and saw that the huge snake head had stood up.

The pair of venomous eyes seemed to reveal the soul of a deceased person, with a soul-stirring sound, beating the cheeks on both sides.

Distraught, Langmingway raised his hand to light the nearest oil lamp.

The Cangcuo snake was hooped in place by countless iron cables, and the steel nails penetrated deep into the flesh.

The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and it was obvious that countless secret medicines were used on this monster.

Ken noted:
The snake's mouth was also locked tightly.

"Are we going to take enough blood from this guy? Is it not pure enough? I suspect it's about to be marinated. These robbers are really unscrupulous."

"We're about the same."

Langmingway interrupted, and then walked up.

He said to Maharu without turning his head: "Don't think about being kind, do you know how many innocent travelers the monster devours every year to obtain enough nutrients to hatch snake eggs?"

"Don't think about my emotions, just concentrate on doing things."

Ken didn't look.

The picture is not actually bloody.

Langmingway found a suitable location, cut open the skin with a knife, and then used a container lined with special ice crystals to take over.

"The amount we took away is nothing compared to the injuries it has suffered along the way. Hey, to be honest, I support the research of alchemy and secret medicine. Every year, a large amount of medicine is produced in the Capital Academy to save my soldiers. s life."

"uh-huh."

Ken casually perfunctory.

He looked at Langmingway's back and didn't say much.

He could feel that the Dragon Thorn Knight Commander was upset now, and he spoke a lot suddenly, which often meant the ups and downs of his inner emotions.

Ken never stopped being curious about Burke.

Naturally, he would think about the current situation of Norin Kingdom.

From some angles, it can actually be seen that this huge empire is facing a crisis, and there are hidden dangers and hints everywhere. It is simply the prelude to the final curtain call of the opera...

Gorgeous, tragic, unstoppable.

Ken is on his own now.

He just wanted to manage his own Santon Kaya well, and take root in Palotusbi with peace of mind, and he had no spare energy to take care of the political disputes in the southern border countries.

It didn't take long.

Langmingway finished the operation and stood up.

He packed the materials into his rucksack and prepared to return along the road with Mahalu.

But before climbing out of the cabin, he heard footsteps approaching quickly.

"Damn, what whistle are you blowing?"

Langmingway complained.

Ken frowned more tightly than anyone else.

Because in the picture of the gray vision unfolding, the deck is empty, and the patrolling sentry has not returned, let alone the guy who suddenly approached.

There is no trace of the living at all!
