Volume 1 The Prince of Tomb Robbers XXIX

Barrick was a big fat man, tall, two meters tall, and weighed more than four hundred pounds.

So, he's very conspicuous in the crowd.

When we met, we greeted each other.

He gave me gifts, and I gave him gifts, all in a matter of propriety.

We greet each other.

After the greetings, introduce the respective accompanying officials.

In short, it's all the same set of processes.

That night, Barrick hosted a banquet aboard his flagship, the Leon.

During the feast, he asked us about Princess Sarah, and we deduced that the princess was feeling sick and was resting according to what we had prepared in advance.

Margaret didn't show up.

On this occasion, she really shouldn't have appeared.

What intrigued me was that the old man Sidima did not show up either.

It stands to reason that this old man is a lively master, and he shouldn't be absent, does he occasionally feel a little sick?

After the banquet, I returned to the "Meratsi".

I dismissed the guards and walked to the bedroom alone.

As I was drunkenly walking down the dimly lit hallway, I heard a grunt that startled me.

Then I heard a man shouting, "Back off!"

I hurriedly stepped back, but stepped on a human leg, which startled me again.

Then, I heard the sound of "ping-pong jingling".

After about thirty seconds, the sound of the fight stopped.

The lights came on, and I saw a crowd of people gathered around.

It's my guards.

There were several black-clothed people lying on the ground, some with strange shapes, some with incomplete limbs.

The guards surrounded me and searched around.

Obviously, someone wanted to assassinate me here, but I was lucky enough to be rescued again.

When I think about it, it was indeed a woman's voice who shouted for me to "back off", could it be her?

Delich soon arrived, and when he saw the scene, he rebuked Tessili.

I said that I ordered the guards to retreat, and that it had nothing to do with General Tessili, and that I was negligent.

Tessiri ordered the entire fleet to be placed under martial law, to search every place thoroughly, and to set up guards inside and outside my room.

I was indeed a little frightened, thinking about the time I had just walked through the ghost gate, and I was really scared into a cold sweat.

One thing is on my mind, and that is who saved me.

I went to knock at Margaret's door, and the maid told me that Her Royal Highness was ill, and that she had no one to see at the moment but the doctor, and asked for my understanding.

It wasn't easy, so I got a doctor and told him to knock on the door.

As a result, the door still does not open.

I told the maid that there were Assassins on board, that every place was to be inspected, and that if she refused to open the door, she would be punished for harboring Assassins, and beheaded tomorrow.

After this fright, the door was opened.

I had the guards stand guard at the door and trespass inside alone.

It was a suite, and I walked into the hallway of the two rooms, and saw a man lying on the bed, with his back to me.

I asked the maid, is Her Royal Highness really sick?

The maid nodded, her gaze downward.

I followed her gaze and suddenly saw a trail of blood on the floor.

As I approached the bedside, I saw a beautiful figure of a young girl floating out of the quilt.

I turned to her front.

Margaret sat up suddenly, her hair scattered.

I noticed that her left forearm was wrapped in gauze, and there was blood on it.

I sat down and sat down on the edge of my bed, grateful.

I looked at her. She looked a little shy and bowed her head slightly.

"You always save me, but how can I be grateful!" I said, "Do I use chests full of gold and silver, or land full of cattle and sheep?"

"No thanks," she said. I saved you because you saved Seles, and the people of Seles need people like you to be kings!"

"Truth be told, the common people of Seles used to live in abundance, but now they are in misery. Lao Wang is no longer like in the past, and his current rule has caused chaos, bringing only disaster and suffering to the people. Everyone thought there would be a change. Your presence fills everyone with hope for the future. ”

"Did you really save me for this purpose?" I asked.

She said, "I'm from a ranger organization, and we can't tell you the name of our organization because the leader doesn't allow it. And don't ask who the chief is. ”

"Is it Kevins? I've heard of this great ranger. I said.

"No, please don't guess. Master Kevins is very old, he was our leader in the past, and he is not now. She said.

"Can I ask you two questions?" I said.

"Ask, if there is no mention of what must be kept secret, I can answer. She said.

"First question, do you have a sweetheart?" I asked.

She glanced at me and turned her head a little shyly.

"Can you not ask?" she said.

Bold and spicy girls also have delicate times.

I was a little forgetful and couldn't help but hold her right hand.

She didn't refuse.

"Second question, when will the Assassins come, or when will the Assassins not come?" I asked.

She shook her head and said she didn't know, the Assassin didn't come as expected, and needed to be on guard at all times.

I said, "I don't want them to come, but I want them to come more." ”

Margaret looked at me in confusion.

I said, "When they come, they will put pressure on us, they will be dangerous." But if they don't come, you might have to leave, get out of here, get out of my side. ”

"Do you really like me?" she asked.

"Really, I like you so much!" I said.

I pulled out my hand and touched her face.

She pushed me away and asked, "Where is she now when you were alone with Vettel, the courtier?"

I was taken aback and thought to myself, how could she even know about it, so I asked, "Why do you say this?"

"I know her. Vettel is a good girl, she has a lot of knowledge, and we all admire her!" she said.

I told her that the rebels had fled into Fennicki that night, that Miranda Palace had caught fire, and that Vittel might have died in the fire.

She asked me if I had found the body.

I said no.

"She may have died! Viette is right, you are responsible for this, this could be a stain on you, you have to be investigated by me. She said.

"Who is Viette?" I asked.

Margaret hurriedly covered her mouth and made an expression.

"Is it your leader?" I said.

Her expression of contrite drew me amusement.

"Well, I'll take your investigation. How long, a year, or many years do you need to investigate?" I said.

Margaret straightened her expression and said sternly, "If you live up to our expectations, if you are a villain, if you kill Vettel and deliberately hide the crime, I will kill you, and I will not be merciful!"

I was startled, dodging her gaze.

I was speechless for a moment.

"Are you weak?" she shook my hand away.

"I'll do everything I can to find Vettel's body, all I can!" I said, "when I get back to Finnicky again." ”

After a moment's pause, she said, "Don't trust your guards completely, because the Assassins are disguised and cause chaos. ”

I nodded and asked what to do?

She said you should find a stand-in and let him show up for you.

I said, where can I find this?

She told me to go to the next room and wait for a while.

The door closed, cutting off the rooms on either side, and I waited patiently.

What is she going to do?

The maid also went out, and the hallway was full of people, most of them my guards.

After a while, the door opened, and I was startled by the man standing in front of me.

Because he looks exactly like me, but in different clothes.

I'd seen myself in the mirror before, so I recognized him as I was.

"How's it going, okay?" was Margaret's voice.

Oh my God, she's become a different me.

"Transfiguration", there is such a magical transfiguration.

"How did you do that, it's incredible!" I looked at her, and I felt like I wanted to laugh.

"I've been pondering your appearance for a few days. The mold was made a few and was not satisfied until this one. "Also, there were some small spells that helped, like hairstyles and fingers." However, this spell is most afraid of drenching in water, and when it touches water, it will be revealed. So, I'll be your stand-in, and it's best not to go out on deck, where it's windy and steamy, and it's easy to show flaws. ”

After speaking, she took off her mask and revealed her true face.

In just a few seconds, she was back to her original form, and her head shrunk back.

"Fortunately, it is not easy for the Assassins to move on the deck during the day. "You need to change rooms." I'll go to your room. ”

She was resolute. I have nothing to say and feel so lucky.
