Chapter 321: Fall (Part )

"You have to be careful when you get to Bibrivoska."

Saint Grace put on the golden mecha again, with a new servant jellyfish attached to her back. When she walked to the door of the workshop, she suddenly said these words without any context.

Zelul didn't react for a moment: "What?"

Saint Grinis stopped and looked at her: "You reported to me at that time that your servant jellyfish told you that there was pollution in the 'Void Sea'."

“…That’s right.” Zelul was still confused.

"So I selected a few trustworthy people and asked them to ask their attendant jellyfish the same question. In addition, I also asked my own attendant jellyfish, but I didn't get a positive answer. So I contacted several scholar friends living in the Pibriwoska Islands. Finally, one of them replied to me that she did have some guesses in this regard and was very interested in the information I provided. She is currently conducting an important experiment. After a while, she hopes to come to Medusuzia to talk to me in detail about this matter."

"What did you talk about?" Zelul asked curiously.

"We didn't have a chance to chat because she didn't come to Medusuzeya at all. I waited for a while, and when I saw that she didn't respond, I sent her a message again. But the person who replied to the message had become her student. She told me that her teacher had unfortunately passed away due to an experimental accident some time ago..."

"what!"

"I don't know if it's just a coincidence or if there are other reasons." Saint Grace glanced at the surprised Zelul and continued, "But I must tell you that for many scholars in Biblivoserka, jellyfish have been our best partners since ancient times, and they must be our best partners, without a doubt. Because jellyfish are the only source of computing power, and computing power is the cornerstone of research, and research results are the only reason why these scholars can enjoy a transcendent status."

"..."

Zelul opened his mouth wide, finally understanding what Saint Grinis was hinting at.

She nodded, and Saint Grinis didn't say anything more. She controlled the mecha and walked out first. Zelul followed while trying to adapt himself to the special mecha without jellyfish.

Ten minutes later, the door to the first floor auditorium opened again. Saint Grace led the remaining guards to launch a counterattack against the moth beasts. Taking advantage of the gap they opened, Zelul successfully left the Sword-awarding Tower. When she rushed out, she took the body of Fireworks with her - even though it had turned into a black mass that was almost shapeless, she couldn't just abandon it there.

The situation outside was worse than she had imagined, with moth beasts everywhere and almost no resistance. She hesitated for a moment and finally decided to go to the port first. Saint Grinis ordered her to find a boat, and her team members had been left there to resist the moth beasts. Now that the attendant jellyfish had mutated, her teammates also needed her support.

……

……

No team members needed support because everyone was killed.

There was not even one who was dying and could say a few last words to her. Zelul searched almost every piece of ruins and only found a few intact bodies. As for the others, there was not even any recognizable bodies left.

These team members were not wearing mechas when they died, which meant that their attendant jellyfish had also mutated. Zelul cremated their bodies with the "Sword of Eni" and put the cup in the bag around his waist. The moth beasts had left the port and the trade area, and only a few were still scattered around. Zelul controlled the mechas that he was not very skilled in to kill them. After making sure that he could not find any team members or their bodies, he ran to the area where the airship was parked.

……

All the ships were destroyed, whether they were huge cargo ships or warships with rams. Zelul specially checked their ether ramjets and found that they were all damaged to the extent that they could not be repaired.

She was not only stunned, but she was not as surprised as she thought. Although in the past, moth beasts were almost unintelligent monsters, but now, since the giant jellyfish above their heads can use a contract similar to the "Silk Curtain" to block external communications, it certainly won't let them pass on information in other ways.

Rule 101 of the Chivalric Code says, never treat your enemies as fools - the exact words are more verbose, of course, but that's the meaning.

Therefore, Zeruel did not let herself be discouraged. She stood there and thought for a while, and decided to try the cliff area in the north. That was the territory of the Gray Amber Gang, and the ships smuggling perfume usually stopped there. If she was lucky, she might be able to find a ship that had not been destroyed by the moth beast.

……

The cliff area was not spared either. There were even more moth beasts wandering around here than in the port. Fortunately, Zeruel became more and more proficient in using the mecha. She used the power sword to chop up all the moth beasts that rushed over, while moving towards a hidden cave at the bottom of the cliff area.

The smuggling ship was parked in that cave, which was almost an open secret in Medusu Zeya, but even the Knights could not interfere with the Gray Amber Gang's affairs. In fact, Zelul had never entered those caves. The gang would politely but firmly block the knights outside the border of the cliff area. If a rogue wanted to force his way in, the Gray Amber Gang's thugs also knew some high-level contracts.

On the contrary, now, she came to the core area that she had never reached before without much effort. There seemed to be more moth beasts in the cave than outside. Zelul decided to rest for 5 minutes. She found that as long as the intensity of the battle increased slightly, the mecha's external spine would cause her strong pain. Although this pain was nothing for a qualified knight, it would always affect the combat state to some extent.

Five minutes later, Zelul stood up from his hiding place and stepped into the cave entrance.

But almost at the same time, a loud bang came from deep in the cave. She subconsciously put her arms in front of her body. Then, a powerful shock wave blew her and her mecha away... When she stood up again from the ruins dozens of meters away, the cave was so quiet that it seemed as if nothing had happened.

If she followed the normal procedure, she should use the "Eye of Truth" to check the cave and confirm that there was no danger before entering. However, almost all the contracts were invalid now. She could only remain vigilant while stepping into the cave.

The cave was indeed filled with moth beasts, but now they were deader than dead. Zelul stepped over their bodies and walked all the way inside. There was no light in the cave, and it became darker and darker as he went deeper. But just when Zelul could hardly see his surroundings, a ball of purple light appeared in front of him.

She walked over and found a person sitting in the light. She had never seen him before, but that face... Zelul quickly remembered that she had seen this face on a wanted poster.

She is the leader of the Gray Amber Gang, and everyone calls her "Old White".

But in fact, "Old White" didn't look old at all, and even looked younger than Zelul. Hearing the sound of the mecha approaching, he turned his head, looked at Zelul, and spoke slowly:
"Ah, you are the knight who was kicked out of the guard."

Zelu immediately wanted to arrest the other party by force.

But she didn't do it because she could see that the man was about to die.

Black blood was constantly flowing out of "Old White's" mouth, nose, and even eye sockets, making that originally beautiful face look a little hideous. Zelul lowered her eyes and saw a perfume bottle on the other's thigh. She estimated that the bottle had a capacity of at least 200 milliliters, but now it was empty.

"You... drank a whole bottle of perfume?!" she asked uncertainly.

The man lowered his head to glance at the empty bottle on his lap, then tilted his head to look at Zelul with a mocking expression: "We in the Gray Amber Gang ship dozens of barrels of goods every month. What's so surprising about drinking a bottle of perfume? If I want, I can drink a bottle of perfume with every meal."

"..." Zelul looked at "Old White" speechlessly, thinking that her brain must have been burned by the perfume.

But the other party's next words became logical.

"The computing power of the virtual sea is a good thing, that's why so many people need our smuggled perfume." The witch with blood on her face continued, "Did you know? Even a big leader like you is our customer..."

"Old White" paused here, as if he wanted to appreciate Zelul's surprised expression. But her plan failed. Zelul had guessed this long ago. With Saint Grinis's understanding of the virtual sea, she had obviously used perfume.

She wanted to urge the other party to continue speaking, but "Old White" suddenly started coughing violently, and black blood gushed out of her mouth and fell on the white hem of her skirt. In the blood, she saw a strange thing, hard and sharp, obviously not a tissue fragment of an organ in the body, but it was indeed spit out from "Old White's" mouth along with the blood.

Before she could figure it out, the other party continued, "...computing power can allow you to come up with the best strategy to deal with your opponent in an instant, it can allow you to find a variant clause of a contract within a few days, and it can even allow you to find a way to use the contract one last time when no one else can use it... However, the computing power of the virtual sea is limited, so Bibriwoska banned the perfume trade. Those scholars in the Vladis Palace who only know how to flatter are eager to use all the computing power to achieve the Queen's 'great goal', cough cough...hahaha...cough cough cough..."

"Old White" coughed up something similar again, and she spoke faster: "...Knight, I know what you are looking for in my territory. I can tell you the answer in advance - no, there is not a single ship, they were all destroyed by the moth beasts. However, I can tell you a way to leave here, but you must promise me one thing and guarantee with your reputation as a knight that you will do your best to accomplish it for me."

"As long as it does not violate the knight's code, I can promise you." Zelul said cautiously. She had heard some rumors about the other party.

"No violation... ahem... of course not." "Old White" chuckled, "My cup is breaking. I need you to take the pieces of the cup out of my body after I die, and then go to the southern sea. There will be a giant jellyfish there. It is so big that you can see it from a long distance. I need you to give it the pieces of my cup."

"Is that all?" Zelul felt that this request was not difficult to fulfill - as long as she could leave the island.

"That's all right. So you agree?"

"I promise."

"I need you to promise on your knight's honor." "Old White" was still worried.

Zelul held the Power Sword upright in front of his chest and made a promise.

"Now can you tell me how to leave this island?" she demanded.

"Of course." "Old White" smiled again. "All you have to do is wait on the island and try to save your life. In two or three days, a foreign fleet will arrive. Then, you can just board their ship and leave the island. Don't forget to do what you promised me."

After Old White finished speaking, he coughed violently again, and more fragments and blood were coughed out. Zelul was about to ask a few more questions, but found that the other party's eyes had lost their luster.

She is dead.
