Chapter 943: The Black Line That Spreads
"Cleaned up?"
Elena asked, looking at Zoe who had stepped out of the deck.
"Well, it took some time to find someone," she said, wiping the blood from her face, "but it's finally all together." β
"What do you do after that?" said Betty shrugged, "write a report and give it to His Majesty Roland?"
"Let Elena write it, I'm not good at summarizing. Anyway, His Majesty didn't take this seriously, and only said that the overall situation was stable, and the means of disposal were arbitrary. Just write him as a person who is unwilling to fail and has ill intentions, for this kind of person, it is better to die a clean. β
"That's what happened," Betty looked confident, "If it's not ill-intentioned, why choose a border city closest to Dawn?"
"Your Majesty is casual, but we can't. Elena cleared her throat, "I'll list the causes and consequences of this report, including your speechesβlike the minutes of the meeting in the town hall." β
"You just want to get his praise for a few more trips to the dream world," Zoe said, rolling her eyes.
"What nonsense, what nonsense!"
"Eh, can this still be the case? I didn't even think of it......" Betty looked at Elena with glowing eyes, "Can you teach me how to write a formal report?"
"Uh...... Let's get back to that," the latter coughed twice, "and now get down to business." β
"That's right," Zoe put away her teasing look, "but don't include that in the report." β
"I know. Elena turned to look at the other side of the deck and beckoned to several black-robed men, "Come here." β
The old man at the head walked up to the three of them tremblingly with the support of the two, bowed and saluted, "Lord Divine Envoy, what are your commands?"
"Since you're willing to come with us, it means you're ready enough, right?" asked Elena in a solemn voice.
The other party is none other than the creator of the "Black Money", Barry Lothar, the legendary merchant of Glow City. While the Witch of Divine Punishment is unrivaled in combat, there are some things that require the help of mortals, such as intercepting Ampain at sea and ensuring that the other party's death is completely out of touch with the Grey Keep.
Murder of a king is an unimaginable crime for a mortal, especially to end a royal bloodline. No amount of wealth can counteract this ridiculous cult of blood, as can be seen in Barich's trembling shoulders. Still, he took this step, and that alone was enough to prove his ambition.
"Yes...... I am willing to serve God's envoys. β
"Take it easy," Elena patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, "In the eyes of the gods, mortal status is meaningless, and what about kings? Tell me, what are you going to do next?"
Barry relented a little, "Of the three options, I still prefer the first one, which is the safest to disguise as a shipwreck. Every year, dozens of ships sink on this route due to storms, tsunamis, landings, etc., especially the border section will usher in a torrential rain two days later, as long as the boat goes deeper into the sea and then gouges through the bottom of the ship, no one will know what is happening here. β
He took a breath and continued, "As for piracy raids or nobles' revenge, they are not infallible, although they can divert suspicion to a specific target, but the fake is fake, and a closer look will always reveal some clues." Even if they can't find it, those nobles can create some flaws on their own. β
"If it's a shipwreck, are you sure that all the clues will disappear?" Zoe asked coldly.
"Yes, my lord," Barry said fiercely, "the sailors I have brought with me will disappear with this ship." The person who closes it is a silent person cultivated by "black money", and it is absolutely impossible to leak the news. β
"The Silent One?" Elena looked at the attendants beside him, "are these two too?"
"You guessed it, they have neither hearing nor can they speak, and they need to give orders through specific gestures, which is why they are called the Silencers. β
"That's really a bloody investment...... "Elena naturally knows how troublesome it is to train a deaf and mute person into a warrior, I'm afraid that it can become one in ten, and this is still under the condition that the seedlings are good. Where does an underground chamber of commerce collect so many deaf and mute people with good seedlings? I'm afraid that these people were selected and then deliberately made like this by means of drugs and other means.
Of course, she didn't care about the way mortals treated her, and even in the era of the Federation, they never gave up bullying the weaker.
"This time I have brought a full fifty silent men, who do not listen to anyone but me, and are more than enough to deal with the sailors, and this plan is foolproof. Barry stroked his chest.
"Very well, let's do it," Elena looked at Zoe and Betty, "but I have one more thing for you to do." β
The old merchant swallowed, "As long as it is within my ability, I will do my best." β
If it was just to create an "accident", she had no need to hide it from His Majesty Roland. The next order did not come from Roland, but from Pasha.
"It's very simple, Black Money has been linked to the new Lord of the Dawn, Hoford Quinn, and the Chamber of Commerce is ostensibly going to continue to support him, while at the same time putting as much eyeliner as possible into his new regime, secretly monitoring the Quinn family's every move, understand?"
"Yes...... Isn't he a puppet you support?" Barry wondered.
"It's just just in case, after all, mortal wills are short-lived and fragile, especially when the real challenge comes, who can guarantee that the puppet's performance will be the same?" Elena paused, "And it's not safe to rely on one family to manage Dawn, I hope your 'black money' chamber of commerce can also be a part of it." β
If it was a person who longed for power, he would probably be overjoyed when he heard this hint, but Barry did not show much joy, but worried, "This requires a long-term plan, and only I can stabilize those partners, but Lord God, you know my body......"
Elena took out two porcelain bottles from behind her back and put them in front of the other party, "Take it, you can drink it when you are uncomfortable, but remember that the two bottles cannot be drunk consecutively, and the interval must be more than a month." With six more vials, your body will be able to meet the basic requirements needed for the transformation. β
Barrych's eyes suddenly filled with ecstasy, he hurriedly took the porcelain vase, carefully put it in his arms, and then bent down deeply, and replied excitedly, "I will definitely complete the task you have assigned!"
"Do your best, and when it's done, we'll admit you to immortality. Elena whispered.
