Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 399 Ready
late at night.

Tonight's night sky is only dotted with stars.

The galaxies and huge luminous stars that existed in the past have all disappeared.

Darker nights, rarer to see.

It seems that something secret will happen tonight, just like this time.

The royal capital of Southern Cross Island, in the royal palace in the center of the royal capital.

There are many guards outside a wide and thick gate, coming and going on duty.

There are knights patrolling around, and this seems to be the most important place in the entire palace.

inside the gate.

It seems to be a relatively private living room. From the decoration and expensive decorations in the living room, it can be seen that this should be a place where extremely important people live.

Going further inside, through a small door, a slight smell of blood came from inside.

The door to the outside was wide open, leading to the balcony connected to the outside.

A tall, burly and serious man was standing upright on the balcony looking out.

With a calm face and no smile.

He was holding a wine glass in his hand and was savoring it carefully.

In the other hand, he held a book in one hand.

And the source of the bloody smell was in the middle of the room behind him, a maid wearing a maid's outfit fell on the floor with a pale face.

Blood was leaking from her facial features, and it could be seen from her expression that she seemed to have suffered some kind of mental torture before she died.

"Oh my friend, we meet again." A slightly exaggerated voice came from behind Kryal.

Facing the corpse behind him, and the unfamiliar voice.Creel didn't panic at all: "I don't think I'm friends with a demon."

"Don't say that, of course we are friends, haven't we met many times already.

And how do you feel about the technology I'm giving? "

"If you are friends after meeting a few times, then I have too many friends." Krillel said, and had no intention of answering the latter sentence at all.

The demon with a hidden figure was not angry either, and waved his hand slightly.From the facial features of the corpse that fell on the ground, there was a light green mist that was inhaled by him into his nasal cavity, as if he was inhaling some addictive stimulating drug.

A knowledgeable person can tell at a glance that the mist is the soul of the poor maid.

And the maid's bare skin showed faint red streaks.

"How did you think about my proposal before? I can help you fulfill your ambition, and you just need to cooperate with me.

I even gave you a little deposit to let you know that I have the ability to help you.

Your strength has just reached the fifth stage, and you may still be able to act recklessly in such a desolate border.But as long as you go in a little bit, your strength is just a slightly bigger ant.

The people there look at you like a country bumpkin. I believe you have already felt this kind of humiliation in your heart.

Don't you want to repay the humiliation?Step down those foreign nobles who once looked down on you, those mortals who dare to look down on you, and let them know who is really powerful.

Just let me help you, and at a small price, I can speed up your ambitions.Why not do it? "

Claire turned his head to look at the demon hiding behind him.

Facing the instigation of the devil, and the words that seemed to hit the depths of his heart.He remained expressionless, as if he didn't care.

"You say you're a demon, but what you seem to be doing is more like a demon. Not at all like what a raging demon should do."

"Of course I'm a demon. I thought you weren't a racist. It's just that I'm one of the few demons who can use their brains.

Nor will they always play tricks like those devils.

So I'm cunning and violent, how, how well thought out? "

"No, my answer is still refusal. I don't have the habit of making deals with the devil. I will rely on my own ability and strength to get what I want."

Hearing what Claire said, the demon wasn't surprised or angry at all, but just chuckled a few times, as if there was contempt in the laughter.

"I think you are very comfortable using the power I gave you, hypocritical mortal."

In the face of this devil's words.

Claire was unmoved, obviously his skin had already thickened to a certain extent.

However, the demon still seemed to be acting like a demon, and he only stimulated him with words and did not actually commit any violent acts.

This is obviously not the same as his compatriots.

Standing up from the chair next to him, a small bell appeared in his hand.

Put the bell on the desk next to it.

"It's a pity that our cooperation didn't come to fruition, but I will give you a small gift.

Just like I sent you before, I am always so generous, especially to friends.

Of course, you can rest assured that this little gift is not in any danger, it can only help you when you are in danger.

But my patience is limited.When you want to ring the bell, it means you are willing to cooperate with me, be careful. "

"Hahahaha, then I will wait for the good news." The demon bowed slightly with a smile, and his figure disappeared into the air.

Looking at the place where the demon disappeared, Claire looked at the bell he had placed on the table and picked it up.

After thinking about it for a while, I threw it into the drawer.

Turning to look at the body of the maid lying on the floor.

"The transformation failed? It seems that you have to use a strong body. No, it doesn't necessarily mean that the male demon ate her soul to fail.

Take your time. "

He casually comforted himself and waved his hand gently.

A crack in space appeared under the corpse, and it fell into it together with the blood-stained carpet.

As if nothing happened, he sat on the seat next to him, continued to drink the wine in his hand, and looked at the book in his hand.

……

At this moment in a dark hut.

Several dark figures in cloaks are gathering here, sitting around a round table, the only light in this room is a few candles on the table.

At this time, the door next to it opened.

Another figure in a cloak walked in, and through the wooden door, he could hear the pattering rain outside.

The figure who came in shook off the water stains on his body, and then simply took off the cloak and hung it beside him.

"Sorry, I'm late."

It was Balazs who spoke, and he sat in an empty seat as he spoke.

Alka and Narmins, who had just arrived two days ago, were also sitting beside them.

"This time is the last meeting before things come to an end, and the next meeting is to celebrate death."

Alka said lightly.

The rest nodded.

Except for the three people in charge of Alka, the others still wore hoods, even though they knew that this layer of cloth could not bring them any concealment.

But it seems that such a thin layer of cloth can cover the emotions in their hearts and cast a layer of luck.

"Tell me about your plan, Baraz."

Balazs, who just came in, nodded and said: "Kriel has many subordinates, and similarly, he has many enemies.

The only good news is that the troublesome team he personally trained died with him on Border Island a few years ago. "

Hearing this, Alka couldn't help recalling.

It should be said that the first time he met Kriere, he also forged a grudge with this person there.

"If we want to kill Krielle with the least cost and the greatest possibility, then we must try to reduce the number of guards around him as much as possible.

Reduce the guards of the entire palace.

We need a head to gather more people. "

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Narmings and asked, "Do you have any better suggestions?"

"As a believer of the Virgin Mary, but also the prince of this country, at least my status as a prince has not been deprived yet.

So naturally, my return requires a grand ceremony dedicated to the Virgin. "

Narmins spoke his mind.

One of the hooded silhouettes said: "This plan is not feasible, right? We have believed in the White Mist Serpent since we were young, and I don't intend to offend. But because your beliefs have been criticized by these civilians a long time ago, how could it be possible? I will come to this kind of festival again.”

"Give out enough free food to hold a dance party about the entire upper class in the name of individuals.

I know the nobles in those cities very well. Even if they don’t cooperate with me, they still have to come to this ball, because I will invite them as a prince. "

Narmins said that although most officials and nobles now know that his prince is almost dead in name only.

But until now, he has not been deprived of this title.No one knew what Claire was thinking, and no one dared to bet.

After all, Claire has no heirs until now, and it is rare for her to have scandals with women.

The black shadows wearing cloaks couldn't help but nodded. This reason is indeed reasonable and effective enough.

"Then I will cooperate with you and try to get as many nobles as possible to participate, and at the same time, I will also add guards for this ceremony." Balazs said beside him.

"But your highness, you must clearly realize that if something goes wrong, you will also be in danger." A figure wearing a cloak said.

Narmings nodded: "I am also a knight, danger is always inevitable."

This side has been confirmed, Balazs turned to look at Alka: "Then the last and most important battle can only be entrusted to you and your companions."

Alka nodded: "Don't worry."

This series of arrangements is mainly to lighten some burdens for Alka and the others, and reduce unexpected situations.

At the same time, it is also after the battle to reduce the losses caused to the entire country.

It would be best if only Claire died alone, but this kind of thing is obviously impossible.

Everyone knew Alka, and their group of powerful people was the core of this operation.

Everyone is preparing around them.

The same Arka and the others are also burdened with the most important responsibility, and also the most dangerous task.

"The day when the memorial ceremony begins is the time when the battle will start. At that time, I will personally meet you at the gate of the palace and lead you straight to the front of Claire." Balazs said.

Narmings also turned to Alka and said, "Thank you for what you have done."

Alka looked at him: "No need to thank, because this is not for you, nor for others. It is for me and my companions.

We just have a common object of revenge. "

Everyone exchanged about various details in this way until the complete exchange was completed.They each left the hut.

Alka, who returned to the ship, also told everyone about the plan in full, so that everyone could get ready.

"Let's put the research aside for a few days, take a good rest, and recharge your batteries.

The enemy is not an idiot, we need to use our full strength. "Alka said, focusing on Simon.

After seeing Simon nodded, he looked away.

Everything is quietly waiting for the day when the festival will start.

……

Everyone moves fast.

"The prince is back? Do you want to hold a ceremony to thank the Virgin?" An old woman who bought vegetables saw the boss and the others chatting, and asked.

"That's right, it should start soon."

"Holy Mother? I prefer to believe that the white mist serpent in the dream can protect our peace." Speaking of which, the old woman also made a prayer gesture.

Seeing the old woman's movements, a young man next to him glanced at him and said indifferently: "I haven't seen anyone guarding our peace in recent years."

"Hmph, that's just the one in the palace..." The old woman was a little annoyed when she heard this and wanted to refute something.

Before he finished speaking, the husband who came with him covered his mouth.

Her husband glared at her in horror: "You want to kill us?"

The woman also seemed to have come to her senses, she poked her head left and right in panic, and nodded her head.

"Whether you go or not, we are going anyway. I heard that there will be free food and wine to taste." The boss was packing up his booth and said casually.

While talking, he compared a prayer gesture full of loopholes.

"Thank you, Our Lady." The tone was so casual.

"Free?"

"Of course it's free."

"Then let's go too."

"Didn't you say you only believed in..."

"Okay, ok, long-winded. The white mist serpent won't care about this, the gods can understand my true trust."

Looking at the two people who were leaving in a hurry, the boss smiled slightly.

Scenes like this play out everywhere.In just one day, almost the whole city knew about the opening of the festival and had free food and drinks.

The free things have attracted countless civilians, who are coming to participate in the sacrifice.

The recent depression made them need a chance to relax.

At this time, an altar for worship has been set up outside the door of Notre Dame Church.

The priest and the prince stood on the stage and got ready.

On the high platform not far away and the roofs of various taverns, you can see some dignitaries and rich people, sitting leisurely and looking here.

"Why do you think our prince chose to come back at this time? Does he not want his life?"

"He is a saint of Our Lady, and no one will provoke him unless he has done anything extraordinary.

...it's not worth it. "

A slightly bald middle-aged man next to him drank the wine in his hand: "We just need to wait quietly for the development of the matter, and it has nothing to do with us."

"It doesn't matter much?" A lady next to her chuckled, with a contemptuous expression: "When things get bigger and bigger, no one can stay out of it. It's better to prepare early."

After speaking, he lifted his skirt, got up and left here.

As more and more people gathered, more guards were sent here.It can be seen that some of these guards are elite soldiers from the capital and the court.

The main positions they guard are not the princes on the stage or the members of the Church of Notre Dame, but the area where the nobles sit around and watch.

In order to prevent these large gatherings of civilians from allowing some dangerous elements to fish in troubled waters and endanger the safety of these nobles.

More and more civilians are gathering here.

As more and more people came, people who didn't want to come also looked around with curious eyes.

At this time, the entire palace was almost emptied except for some servants and necessary guards.

Alkaji people appeared on the street, and there were not many people coming and going on the street at this time.Because most of them have already gathered around the festival.

Feeling the noise from a distance, Alka and the others were not affected in the slightest.Follow the straight avenue towards the royal palace in the distance.

Soon came to the bottom of the palace.

Looking at the largest building complex in the entire capital, the gray and white stone towers are piled up with tall buildings and spiers.

There are reliefs of Fanmi on it, showing the dignity of the palace.

Gardens, fountains and artistic statues are dotted throughout.

On the low city wall guarding the palace, there are elite soldiers coming and going to guard it.

"Stranger, get out of here, this is not a place where you can set foot at will!"

The two soldiers at the gate immediately held the weapons in their hands, stared at Alka and the others vigilantly and said.

Even though Alka and the others didn't come over at all, they just watched the palace near the city wall.

"My friend, don't be so angry. I'm just curious about what the palace looks like." Jason spread his hands and said with a smile.

"Now you see it, get out!"

The soldier looked at Alka without any politeness.

Jason shrugged: "I did see it. I can only say that it is a wild area on the border. This palace is not as well built as my grandma's cowshed in the country."

Facing the foul-mouthed soldier, Jason retorted unceremoniously.

"What? You damn..." The soldier was furious, and was about to walk up with a weapon, and then his companion stopped him.

"Don't make trouble."

"You didn't hear him." Before he finished speaking, a figure stepped out from the position of the gate.

It was Balazs.

"Dear guests, you are here. His Excellency Krill is already waiting for you."

Balazs lowered his status, bowed grandly and said.

Seeing this behavior, the soldier who was still furious just now widened his eyes.I could see the fear in his eyes.Turning his head to look at Alka and the others, he quickly lowered his head.

Alka nodded, and walked in with a few people.

They walked past the soldiers silently without any communication.

It wasn't until Alka and the others walked in that Balazs, who stayed at the end, turned his head and glanced at the soldier.

Feeling Balazs' sight, the soldier's face was covered with beads of sweat.

"I hope you will have good luck." Balazs said calmly, followed by walking in.

As soon as the few people left, the soldier immediately collapsed to the ground.

The colleague next to him looked at the soldier and sighed helplessly, beckoned to the soldier on the city wall and carried him away together.

At some point, there was a faint pink mist wrapped around the city wall and the soldiers everywhere.

As Alka walked, it drifted away all the way.

But these soldiers didn't seem to feel it at all, and they were still patrolling the city wall.Repeated my previous duties countless times.

Numb and stiff, wandering away.

Alka and the others walked in this winding palace like this, unimpeded.

Led by Balazs, they arrived outside a huge gate.

There were also two soldiers at the door.

These two soldiers were wearing heavy armor, and their strength had reached three stages of perfection.

Reached the strength limit of an ordinary person.

Facing the approaching Balazs, he didn't pay any attention to it.

Facing the two soldiers, Alka turned his head and said to the people behind him: "Porolo, Xiadati, Materisa. The three of you will stay with me, and the rest will stay outside."

Facing their communication, the two soldiers seemed to be deaf and did not hear at all.

Alka passed the two of them, pushed open the door, and walked in with a few people.

The moment the door was pushed open, the eyes of the two soldiers fell to the side, lost in obsession.

From beginning to end, I didn't understand everything.

At the same time, the soldiers outside were like dominoes one by one.Collapsed everywhere, snoring soundly.
