Chapter 317: Praying Mantis Yellow Sparrow

It was a night destined to go down in history, and Goron wasn't the only ones struggling......

A few seagulls glided quietly over the sea at night, and they seemed to notice the strange and terrifying celestial phenomenon in the distant sea, and suddenly let out a series of screams, and had to make a big turn, and were forced to land on a large sea ship nearby.

This is a very large merchant ship, but if you look closely, you will find that the planks used to make this ship are very precious and rare silver snow hemlock wood, and it is also the finest century-old material. This wood has a strength comparable to that of steel, as well as strong resistance to magic and waterproofing and corrosion, and has always been a first-class strategic material monopolized by the empire and strictly forbidden to be used by the people. Not to mention that its cost will be dozens of times that of ordinary large merchant ships, the crime of using strategic materials to make civilian merchant ships without permission is enough to send the owner of this ship to the beheading table.

Of course, that refers to the situation where the owner of the ship is just an ordinary businessman.

One of the royals of the Empire, Prince Dior sat in the luxurious and comfortable captain's quarters, where several people had gathered. In addition to the imperial prince, the deputy head of the fairy tale circus, Sophia the blood red riding hood, is also here, but she is obviously not as calm as Prince Dior, and her slightly frowning brow and trembling eyes reveal a trace of worry and nervousness in her heart. She stood in front of the porthole, her eyes staring straight into the distance, and although she couldn't see anything from here, she still didn't take her eyes off it.

On the sofa to the right of Prince Dior sat an old man who was as scrawny as a wood but as straight as a peak. Although his clothes are simple and luxurious, they are the style of ordinary people. This exposes his identity as a businessman. In the Empire, the status of a merchant was not discriminated against. But it was impossible to raise his head in front of the nobles of the world, but the old man sat there leisurely, sipping the famous wine placed on the coffee table in front of him from time to time, and his demeanor obviously did not value the members of the imperial family in the same room.

There was silence in the captain's room, and after a long while, Prince Dior finally stood up, and after looking around, his eyes finally fell on the back of Sophia, the blood-red riding hood, and said with a chuckle: "Miss Sophia, no amount of worry is useless. You and I both know that we can't do anything to help with this matter, the restrictions of that mission are too strict, as long as we get too close, the previous efforts and hard work will be in vain, but the channel of the ghost ship only passes here once every hundred and sixty-six years, and if we miss this time, at least it will be difficult for us to see that thing see the light of day again. ”

"No wonder she is so nervous, this matter is already full ......of twists and turns," the old man on the side put down the wine glass in his hand. Suddenly interjected: "In fact, a few of our old fellows are also responsible for this matter, and they would be stupid enough to hand over such an important matter to the waste clowns who don't have fairy tales to do, believing that they can complete this crucial task for a hundred years." As a result, before the mission officially began, the hard-earned task performer left for various reasons. As a result, we had to rely on a little ghost who didn't even know the details, and there are so many uncertain factors, I don't think we can figure it out, we will have to wait another hundred and sixty-six years. ”

The old man's words were rather unkind. But his identity seems to be above Sophia, the blood red riding foot, so the deputy head of the fairy tale just secretly gritted his teeth. He replied in a cold voice: "The strength of Golon's child is very strong, and it is deeply hidden. In terms of strength alone, he may be better than all of our chief trainees. That task originally had high requirements for the strength of the executor, and the strength was slightly weaker, and he couldn't even survive the first night. Coupled with the age limit, etc., it is a contradictory and almost impossible task in itself, and if he is allowed to carry it out, it may be a miracle. ”

"And what about his race? Have you confirmed it? Is he really a pure-blood Terran? If not, it would be the worst outcome if he did complete the task. ”

I don't know what I thought, Sophia's face suddenly turned red, and then she replied: "I have confirmed this matter, although the method cannot be said to be absolutely reliable, but I still have follow-up preparations, and I can definitely deal with various situations." I have a 'hostage' in hand, and I've got eyeliner around the kid so I can avoid the worst if necessary......"

The old man sneered and listened to Sophia's statement, and suddenly, his eyes froze, and he stood up suddenly, and then walked to the side of the ship in a few steps, pushed Sophia away, and looked at the sea, at the same time, Prince Dior and Sophia also seemed to have discovered something, and looked in the same direction at the same time, and the expressions on their faces became very serious.

Sophia's face was full of surprise and anger: "What the hell is going on? Why is the First Sea Order of the Holy See here, and looking at the direction they are traveling, it is clearly that island!"

"Not only that......" The tall and thin old man clutched the window frame, and actually crushed the solid silver snow hemlock wood, obviously unable to suppress the anger in his heart.

"I can feel the breath of an old adversary, Cardinal Nero...... The bastard who likes to slaughter 'heretics' the most. Whether or not the Holy See actually smelled something, or whether it wanted to fight that thing, as long as Nero was here, we would not be in trouble. It seems impossible to complete this task......"

Prince Dior's gaze swept over the two people around him, the worry on his face was obviously not as good as the two people around him from the heart, and even the deepest part of his eyes seemed to hide something, but Dio hid all his emotions in a blink of an eye, and saw him say softly: "What should we do, although this ship has the defense and weapons and equipment comparable to the first-class main warships of the Empire, it is impossible for it to be the opponent of the First Sea Order of the Holy See, and we can't stop them." ”

The old man and Sophia's attention was not on Prince Dior at all, and after a while, the old man suddenly said, "Your Royal Highness, do you have a way to transfer the Sea Dragon Knights under the seat of Letusus?"

Dio was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that the old man was really not joking, he replied with a wry smile: "Sir, you really look up to the imperial royal family today, in the eyes of the Dragon Knights, only the marshal and not His Majesty is a matter that everyone knows, and my prince who has no real power is not to mention the transfer of the Dragon Knights directly under Rethusus, it is impossible to embezzle a slave cannon fodder army under him." But...... I can try to mobilize the closest troops here, I heard that the Empire's Survey Corps has been relying on Tidetide Harbor to investigate the so-called 'Demon Invasion' incident, and they seem to have built a small naval army, although they don't need to count on their combat effectiveness, but as long as the Empire and the Holy See have not officially torn their faces, I don't think they will directly attack the Empire's official army, so that maybe they can buy us a little more time......"
