Chapter 490: Departure from Hong Kong (Three Watches)
A terrible scream rang out in the dungeon of the Blood Keep, and the sharp sound cut through the space, making it creepy to listen to. The dungeons of the Blood Fortress are like a hell, and the prisoners who are imprisoned in them either die horribly or live a life of eternal prison. Some people say that the castle of Scarlet Twilight is dyed red by human blood. Although this statement is exaggerated, it is also somewhat close to the truth.
After the morning interrogation, the warden's warden, a new batch of prisoners was received. Among them, the bartender and were killed and injured after their tongues were plucked out and their eyes gouged out. But the two of them were far luckier than the others who were thrown into the dungeon without receiving an immediate punishment. At least one of's eyes was crushed by the Earl, and the man was thrown out of the castle. Blind, he can at least live outside the Blood Castle, but the rest of the people have to spend the rest of their lives in dark dungeons.
There has never been a word for mercy in Eric's dictionary, not to mention that this time these people are very important, and naturally no one is spared.
In the hall, Eric was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, pondering how to set up tonight's operation. Suddenly, he felt something, opened his eyes, and Youlian hurriedly swept into the hall, half-kneeling on the ground and hurriedly said, "Oh no, Earl." Taylor and the Naga are ready to leave, and one of their merchant ships belonging to the Golden Radiance Chamber of Commerce at the port dock is ready and will set sail in half an hour! ”
Eric's eyes were half-closed, and the blood in his pupils was like a sword, and he shot out: "They are also simply, it is difficult for Taylor to work hard for this guy for most of his life, and he plans to leave his property and not run for his life?" ”
"Marlene." The Count called lightly.
The shadows behind him grew thicker, like an invisible fog pouring out. A pale figure gradually appeared from the shadows, and Marlene slowly walked behind the earl and said, "My people have not yet arrived, and it will be afternoon at the earliest." ”
"It's too late, you have to go immediately." Eric stood up and said lightly: "Youlian, you and the steel cannon go and prepare, this is your chance to make meritorious contributions." ”
Youlian bowed her head and said, "My subordinates understand. ”
"This time my Bloodfang Knight can't be dispatched, otherwise it will leave a handle for the royal family. So the operation is up to you Nocturnal Ghost and Snake Queen, and of course, I'll be there too, but I'll have to change my identity. Time is running out, so you go your separate ways. Twenty minutes later, assemble at the port. ”
The marina at Orca Harbor is still so lively, it seems to be so busy every day. The returning fishing boats unload large quantities of seafood from the docks, and workers busily transport the goods to the warehouse. Occasionally, when a large whale is caught, it will be slaughtered directly at the pier, attracting countless onlookers.
Today, a distant-water fishing boat of the Lanyu Chamber of Commerce caught a deep-sea scale whale, which is one of the more common whales in the waters of Santa Trina, and they are much smaller than horn whales, but they are quite numerous. True to its name, the whale is covered in palm-sized, circle-shaped scales that make it look more like a big fish. Although the scales of the scale whale are thin, they can be very hard, and they are made of it to make close-fitting scale armor, which is difficult to pierce with swords. The gun can't be broken. Therefore, the scales are usually purchased by the merchants of the Arms Chamber of Commerce, and then handed over to the workshop to make the scales.
Of course, these scales are generally provided to the imperial army, or the duke's private army, and belong to the materials controlled by the empire, and will not flow into the ordinary market.
As soon as the fishing boats of the Lanyu Chamber of Commerce arrived at the harbor, the workers carried the three large whales unloaded to the pier to the slaughtering area and handed them over to be slaughtered. Killing whales is not a simple task, especially for cetaceans such as scale whales, which have to unravel the whale's body and retain the scales as much as possible. In particular, the soft scales on the whale's abdomen, these scales are soft and snow-white, and the scale armor made is of the best quality, and of course the scale is also the most expensive.
Therefore, it takes an experienced whale solver to remove them from the whale intact. When the mournful cry of the whale before death was heard from the direction of the slaughterhouse, several horse-drawn carriages drove into the dock. In one of the yard cars, a childish voice shouted, "I'm going to kill those bastards!" ”
Lily was angry, her eyes full of murderous intent. Willie, who was sitting next to her, had no choice but to persuade: "Your Highness, we can't make any extraneous things now, so please let those people go." ”
"One day, I'm going to ruin this sinful city. This port alone kills an unknown number of marine lives every year. Human beings are a group of demons living on the earth! Naga's Highness said angrily, she was impulsive and willful. But after all, they still have a clear sense of the weight, and today they will leave on the ship of the Cheng Jinhui Firm, and only after they have reached the open sea will they summon the Undersea Palace to the Ark Harbor.
This time it was a secret departure, and the Naga people must not be exposed to the eyes of humans, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble.
Belmode and Kira were in another carriage, walking with Taylor. Nothing happened on the way, and Taylor asked about Alan, after all, there are not many humans who can make Lily use so many modifiers to describe it, and it would be a lie for Taylor to say that he is not interested. Belmode didn't hide it, except that they weren't residents of the Heavenly Star. To give Alan an an imaginary identity, he began with the city of Sur and ended with the Earl of Oban, and briefly talked about it.
Taylor was just casually inquiring, but after listening, he took a serious look at Allen. According to his thoughts, if Belmode did not have any water, then Allen, the baron, could be called young and ambitious. Taylor was quite impressed, and if he could work with someone like Allen, it would be a great help to develop his business. On top of that, Eren and the Naga have a common enemy, and if Taylor is attached to his wing, he doesn't have to worry about being betrayed.
In the blink of an eye, Taylor smiled and said, "After I have arranged things, if I have time, I will definitely go to Ark Harbor to meet Sir Allen." When the time comes, I just hope he won't refuse. ”
Bethcord happily said, "Of course not, if Mr. Taylor is interested in cooperating with our master, it is exactly what is desired. ”
Taylor smiled and didn't say anything. A person like him who wanders into the mall would not give a promise lightly. Although Alan is good, he always needs to look at it in person before Taylor can decide.
Getting out of the carriage, the merchant ship "Sunrise" of the Jinhui Sho was moored in front of everyone. The Sunrise was an ocean-going merchant ship and one of Taylor's best ships. The Sunrise was armed with two guns, as well as gunwales on either side. There are a number of loyal guards on board the ship all year round, but today there are other mysterious guards. The guards, all cloaked, remained in the bilge and never came out. It was the ten dragon knights that Waiv had transferred, plus Jena, who had protected Taylor before, and the ship was guarded by a total of eleven dragon knights.
Coupled with Lily, who is extremely powerful, and several elders including Waff, this power is no longer to be taken lightly. If Belmode is included, then it is a few points higher. With this power to protect him, Taylor is very relieved. Unless Eric sends a large army, it will be difficult to keep them. But what Eric did can't be exposed, this is the dock again, and the Bloody Earl can't force it no matter how unhappy he is.
Immediately after boarding, Taylor ordered the sailors to set sail and the merchant ships to leave the port.
Belmode and Kira couldn't stay in the cabin anymore and went to the deck. Leaning against the railing, I watched the Orca Harbor gradually shrink in the eyes of the two. They've only been in the city for one night, but they feel like they've had a lot to experience. This city has always left a deep mark on their memory.
The sea breeze ruffled Kira's hair, and she watched in silence at the fading docks. Belmode stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and said, "What, something on your mind?" ”
She turned around, looked at the man she loved, and said, "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, what did Young Master Allen do that time?" I knew very well what you were doing, and I was ready to lose you. But you came back to me intact. Originally, I was going to pretend to be confused, after all, there are some things that I still don't need to know so much, so that people can live more easily. But His Highness calls you an Immortal, which makes me very concerned. ”
"Why, I'm afraid that when you're old in the future, I'm still like this?" Belmode said half-jokingly.
Qi stretched out his hand and stroked his handsome face: "I'm just worried that if I'm not there, will you feel lonely living alone in this world." ”
The softest place in her heart ached slightly, Belmode grabbed her hand, put it to her lips and kissed it softly: "You may think so, if it weren't for Young Master Allen giving me a second chance, then we wouldn't even have spent the time we have spent together for decades." With so many gifts, why think so far ahead? ”
"Perhaps, you're right." Kira smiled reluctantly, knowing that Belmode didn't want to reveal too much about Alan.
Belmode sighed softly in his heart, Alan and he both had many secrets. And some secrets are not allowed to Kira to know. No matter how much he likes Kira, he can't reveal these secrets, which is the least loyalty.
At this time, Kira said "Huh", pointed to the left side of the sea, and said, "Look at that, it seems that there are several boats coming towards us." ”
Belmode looked up, and sure enough, several medium-sized sailing boats had departed from other docks, but had turned a corner and hoisted behind their tails. What worries Belmode is that none of these boats are clearly marked. You must know that the ships entering and leaving Killer Whale Harbor belong to different chambers of commerce or organizations, and they will hang the logo of their own chamber of commerce organization on the ship to distinguish them.
The absence of a sign is both a reluctance for the other party to let people know who they are. In this way, their intentions are not so friendly.
"We're in trouble, go inform Taylor, I'm here to watch." Belmode said in a deep voice.
A monoculars were put down from Eric's hand, and handed it to Youlian next to him, and the earl said softly: "Just follow them like this, and then do it when you get to the open sea." ”
"Yes, sir."
(So the third watch has been 19 days, today's Dragon Boat Festival, has everyone eaten brown seeds, hey.) There are ten days left, come on, come on! )R1058
