The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1256 Step through the iron shoes and find nowhere

At first, I was a little worried about where to find information about the polar blue star, but I didn't expect to get it shortly after entering the castle.

As the saying goes, if you look for him thousands of times in the crowd, you can't find him if you step through iron shoes?

I always feel like something is wrong...

In any case, it is a good thing to have information, Lin Tianci stuck to the wall, pricked up his ears and continued to listen to the movement below.

"Presumably His Majesty the King is very heartbroken now. It is a very difficult decision to give the gem to the Wave Guards for military expenses. I heard that His Majesty planned to inlay the gem on the scepter."

Lin Tianci would have a headache if he did this, and he would only be able to steal the scepter quietly once.

"There is no way. A small border country like ours doesn't have the strength to do this at all. Since it is favored by other countries and arouses the dissatisfaction of the wave guards, it's better to just be a favor."

"Master Marquis is right, but Her Royal Highness Princess Miranda seems to want to sell the gems to fill the treasury. You also know our country's finances..."

"His Royal Highness Miranda is gentle and kind, but she pays too much attention to domestic affairs. The influence of foreign countries must not be underestimated. If Your Excellency the Earl is worried that Princess Miranda will complain, I can find out."

Another voice said triumphantly:
"At the imperial meeting just now, although Her Highness Miranda has been objecting, she has already acquiesced. I received news earlier that the fleet led by the first princess Sistine, who is serving as the guard of the waves, is on the way. The stationing on islands and reefs not far from our own country should be pressured by the higher authorities to demand that our country pay the military expenses in arrears."

"Commander Gallagher is really evil-hearted, asking His Royal Highness the princess of his country to urge his country's money."

"Although Her Royal Highness Princess Sistine did not appear at the imperial meeting to avoid suspicion, she should have discussed it with His Majesty the King a long time ago. Your advice and mine are just following the trend."

Now another voice seems to be relieved:

"Your Majesty the Marquis is still very thoughtful. Speaking of which, Her Highness Princess Miranda should be approaching the age of marriage. I don't know which lucky one will be favored by the princess."

"Princess Miranda is gentle and kind, and her beauty has long been known far and wide. I heard that princes and nobles from many surrounding countries have submitted requests for marriage, and His Majesty the King had a headache for a while."

"Master Marquis' son may have a chance to try it?"

"Perhaps, if it is possible, then our position will be even more solid."

Accompanied by a low-pitched smirk, the so-called Marquis said:

"In short, as long as the cargo ship sets sail at dawn, that hot gem will be under the control of the wave guards, and our country will no longer be blamed by the surrounding countries."

dawn?cargo ship?
Lin Tianci thought about it again, could it be that the debris is now on a certain ship in the port?
This……

Brother Lin managed to sneak into the city against the heavy rain, but when he heard that the fragments were on the cargo ship at the port, he knew why he was bothering so much.

But thinking about it carefully, if he didn't come in, it was obviously impossible to know that the debris was on the cargo ship.

Continuing to prick up their ears to listen, the two below said some mutual flattery and gossip in the palace, which to Lin Tianci was basically meaningless nonsense.

Now that we have obtained the information on where the fragments are, the rest is the question of carpet search. It is expected that there must be a large number of guards on the cargo ship where the fragments are stored, but guards alone are far from enough to stop Lin Tianci. If everything goes well, He will be able to return to Eastern China by dawn.

So he tightened his cloak, intending to wait for the two people downstairs to leave before going out. Lin Tianci's hiding place was too close to the bottom, and any movement could be noticed.

But we all know that 'all goes well' is a flag.

Accompanied by a thunderclap sounding from the sky, there seemed to be an unnatural light appearing in the bright flash.

"Is that...the flash of the lighthouse? Why is it facing the inner city?"

"No, Lord Marquis, the flash of the lighthouse should be more stable. The light seems to flicker, not quite like a lighthouse."

The lighthouse at this time is actually a big torch with special fuel added to make the light brighter, but as the people below said, the flash is not like a lighthouse, but more like a flame flying into the sky and flickering.

When the two people below were wondering, another orange-red flash rose into the sky like a meteor, and the orange-red flame made it very conspicuous in the dark rainstorm.

Immediately, they saw the orange-red flash like a fireball pass through the rain curtain and hit the wall of the outer city.

--clang! --clang!

The alarm towers all over the city rang their alarm bells one after another, and the sound quickly enveloped the entire city in the ringing of bells that made people feel nervous.

This time, the two people below had no unnecessary conversation, and Lin Tianci heard the sound of footsteps running away quickly.

Having said that, this painting style...

Could something be wrong?
–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

The rain gradually became lighter, and the wind gradually calmed down, but it could not change Lin Tianci's ups and downs in the slightest.

It really isn't that easy...

Just got the information, the rest is just a carpet search work, the result is an unexpected incident.

It is not clear what exactly happened, but seeing the alarm bells in the whole city, no matter how you think about it, it is not a simple exercise.

Lin Tianci could only come out of his hiding place in a hurry, and hurried back the same way.

And also note that now, unlike just now, the soldiers who had been sleeping in the dormitory due to the alarm all ran up the city wall, and if they found out that they were not paying attention, it would be even more troublesome.

Relying on the world's first-class lightness skills like Suifengjin, Lin Tianci has always been lurking in the shadows, and several times he even had to pass behind the soldiers, which was much more thrilling than before.

Fortunately, he still remembered the route when he came here, so he tried to choose cover or send a high place to run, and he left the castle in the inner city not long after.

The residents in the city who had already fallen asleep turned on their lights one after another. When Lin Tianci was walking quickly on the roof towards the port, he could still hear the panicked voices of the civilians in the houses.

Could it be involved in some kind of war?

I just heard from two nobles that the fragments of the extremely blue star are very valuable gemstones, which can greatly enrich the treasury if they are sold. If other countries are jealous and can't wait to send troops to snatch them, it seems that it is not impossible.

However, Sai Li has a different view on this. She said that because of the mutual defense agreement in this plane, all countries only maintain the most basic law and order force, and there is no huge army.

The national defense of each country depends entirely on the wave guards born from the agreement, and disputes between countries are also adjudicated by them.

So what happened, you can't just make a judgment before seeing the scene.

Teams of soldiers ran out from the dormitories under the guard tower. Some of them didn't even have time to put on their military uniforms, so they quickly picked up their weapons and rushed towards the city walls and gates.

Lin Tianci was also among the people rushing towards the city wall, but he was on the roof and moved quickly. He came to the edge of the city wall after a while, and walking forward was the place where he came in through the barrier.

After all, the city is not big, so of course it wouldn't take much time at Lin Tianci's speed.

But at this time, the city wall was already full of soldiers, and the distance between the soldiers was no more than half a meter. Although they all stood on their feet and looked out of the city, Lin Tianci wanted to repeat the same trick and jump over the soldiers...

——He is not blind.

Fortunately, Lin Tianci didn't have to worry for too long.

A bright orange flash flashed across the sky and flew towards the city wall. The soldiers who were standing on it and looking out of the city hurriedly moved away.

- Boom!
That thing is like a burning explosive that will explode. It looks like a big orange fireball that explodes instantly after it hits the magic barrier covering the whole city. There are cracks visible to the naked eye in the enchantment.

Immediately afterwards, a second orange-red fireball mixed with flickering flashes fell from the sky.

There was only a sharp crackling sound, and the magic barrier covering the whole city shattered like sugared glass. Everyone could hear the movement, which must have further deepened the fear of the civilians.

Lin Tianci didn't have time to pay attention to these details. When the fireball hit, the soldiers on the city wall were afraid that they would hit him, so they moved away from both sides.

This happened to be a good opportunity.

Lin Tianci stuck an invisibility talisman on his body, and then his whole body swished through the city wall as if he had melted into the air, and with another force in mid-air, he landed in the apple grove outside the city.

In that kind of messy situation, it was hard to notice the outline left by the invisible movement, Lin Tianci probably didn't attract anyone's attention.

Putting aside the scolding from the officers on the city wall behind him, Lin Tianci quickly walked through the apple grove and ran towards the small town next to the port.

Lin Tianci could see more clearly because he lost the cover of the city wall.

During this period, orange-red flashes pierced the sky, and orange-red fireballs fell from the sky at random as if they were not accurate.

Sometimes it would fall on the side of the city wall, and sometimes it would fall in the town where Lin Tianci was going. Even the rain that could still be regarded as a torrential rain could not stop the flame from burning.

"It should be a kind of incendiary bomb made of narwhal fat and fire opal ore powder. It is not afraid of water and can burn for a long time. However, its launching method is interesting. I can see that there is a weak magical operation on it. The last traces are probably fired by magic, but I don't know any magic that can send incendiary bombs so far."

Perhaps out of habit, Sai Li subconsciously analyzed what the incendiary bomb was, but Lin Tianci was more concerned that if any fragments were installed, it would be a cargo ship.

While speaking, Lin Tianci had passed through the apple grove, and many traces of orange flames could be seen in the once bustling town. It should be said that thanks to the heavy rain, the fire did not expand further, but it also made the small town The town was completely in panic. Even standing on the hillside outside the apple grove, Lin Tianci could see many people in the town running around like headless chickens, which showed that he was really panicking.

At this time, Sally reminded:
"Look at the sea level in the distance, there seems to be a fleet of ships over there!"
