"I didn't expect there to be a palace here. Palamides sighed as he looked at the splendid building protected by a high wall.

"Palace?" Prince Said smiled indifferently: "This is not a palace, just a small villa in the city. ＂

Palamides snorted [uh] and didn't speak anymore. This was just a small villa, so how gorgeous should Prince Said's bedroom be?

"Pay attention to your words and deeds in front of the prince. Rosetta and Palamides, the Queen of Jewels, whispered as Prince Said and his party walked into the villa.

The big cat nodded in response. Anyway, he was a thief-turned-vulgar scoundrel, with very little contact with people like the royal family, and the more he talked, the more wrong he became. It's better to keep silent and leave all the conversations to Rosetta.

"Then," said Prince Said, after the people had sat down on the plush leather sofas in the living room, "what is the characteristic of the weapon you are looking for, and can you describe it so that my men can find it?"

Palamides didn't want to say anything, waiting for Rosetta to say it. It also happened that the people brought up the best Earl Grey black tea in a beautiful gold-inlaid white ceramic cup, and the big cat picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

"How can you say it------" Rosetta looked a little embarrassed, and instead threw the topic to Palamides: "Palamy, your own weapon, how about you describe it yourself?"

"Ugh. A drop of cold sweat broke out on the big cat's forehead. He wasn't going to speak, but now he was "betrayed" by Rosetta, and the big cat reluctantly put down the teacup and said, "That's ...... A spear. ＂

"Oh. The prince nodded, expecting Palamides to continue.

"More accurately, it was a cursed spear that thieves stole from my hotel room last night. The Leopard Warrior continued, with what he thought was the most plausible guess: "The curse on that spear is so powerful that it requires special handguards to be used. The body of the spear is black, and the tip of the spear is slightly triangular and pyramidal, but I suspect that the thief has not broken the seal of the spear since it stole it, so the spear is still wrapped in a sealed strip of cloth or bandage, which is not easy to identify. ＂

"Well, wait. Prince Said seemed to think of something: "I seem to have heard of the cursed spear you said." ＂

"Really?"

"Today I also took my men to the black market in Cairo to loot weapons, and one of them submitted a shopping list that seemed to mention a cursed spear...... And it was bought back cheaply for 300,000 Egyptian dollars from a seller of unknown origin. ＂

The prince suddenly got up from the sofa: "Please wait a moment, I'll go to the butler to confirm the shopping list." Maybe it will help you find your stolen treasure right away. ＂

Palamides and Rosetta glanced at each other and let go of their hearts: "That's great!"

"Well, please give me a few minutes. Prince Said was resolute and left immediately.

"Whew!, it didn't take much effort!" said Palamides, leaning back against the couch and breathing a sigh of relief.

"It doesn't have to be the spear you're looking for, don't get too complacent. Rosetta took a sip of black tea and said, "Maybe Prince Said's men bought back another cursed spear?"

"Either way, we need to take a look at it to make sure. Palamides shrugged. But when Rosetta said this, Palamides couldn't help but feel a little chilled. He may need to open the seal of the spear to see its contents. If he had really taken apart a spear that was not Eternal Gunir, but was indeed cursed, wouldn't Palamides have been stricken?

"I'm sure there's such a weapon. Prince Said had already rushed back, and as soon as he appeared, he said, "The cursed spear is currently being stored in the underground weapons warehouse of this villa for further examination." Since the spear is heavily wrapped in the bandage of sealed magic, we have no way of knowing if the sealed spear is the weapon you're looking for. Please come with me. You can find out for yourself in the arsenal where the spear belongs. ＂

"Great!" Palamides and Rosetta stood up together, "Then let's go." ＂

"Come with me. Prince Said turned and left, and there seemed to be two more bodyguards behind him. It's no wonder, after all, the prince led Palamides into an arsenal full of valuable treasures, and no matter how much they trusted Palamides and Rosetta, it was impossible not to increase security.

"Your Royal Highness," although he knew that he shouldn't ask random questions, but driven by curiosity, Palamides still wanted to ask, "I want to ask a few questions, is that okay?"

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. Prince Said replied bluntly.

"Do you and your men often go in and out of Cairo's black market to buy weapons?" asked Palamides, slowing his tone, "...... What are you planning to do with so many weapons?"

This is actually a very sensitive topic, because as a prince, Said, is secretly hoarding weapons, probably because he wants to stage a coup d'état to overthrow the current parliamentary Egyptian government. Considering that the prince was able to mobilize that huge amount of human, material and financial resources, it was only natural to think so.

"Hahaha, I know what you're thinking, Mr. Paramidis. But things are not what you think. Prince Said couldn't help but laugh and said: "Collecting the world's rare weapons has been a hobby of mine, and most of the weapons in my collection are not suitable for actual combat use, and cannot be taken to the battlefield. Moreover, the Egyptian government has great powers, and they have long known that I am hoarding weapons. But the Egyptian government has absolute trust in me at the moment, and as long as I don't go too far, they won't interfere. ＂

"Yes, yes...... Palamides didn't know what the relationship between Prince Said and the Egyptian parliament was, but he seemed to sense that the two were not hostile. The fact that the prince hoarded so many weapons and that the Egyptian government was unmoved is enough to prove something.

"However, your guess is not entirely wrong," Prince Said added, "and I did hoard weapons for some purpose. ------I'm going to use them to [hunt] some monster. ＂

"Hunting ......?"

"Moby Dick. Prince Said said bluntly: "It is a super giant monster living in the Sahara Desert of Africa, a huge desert demon whale like a mountain. I think you've heard about this monster for a long time?"

Palamides frowned. He hadn't seen Moby Dick himself, but his companions, especially the werewolf boy Bediwell, seemed to have had an untold relationship with the desert whale, Moby Dick, who appeared again and again, nearly killing him several times.

It can only be said that it is an extremely dangerous magical beast.

"But...... Why?" asked Palamides, "Moby Dick is like a natural disaster, and its danger is well known. Your Royal Highness, you have your good life to live, why do you want to provoke such a dangerous opponent?"

If you don't do it, you'll lose your life. Although Palamides thought so, he did not say it.

In the eyes of the big cat, this Prince Said is actually a rich and willful hairy child, from a wealthy background, with great power support behind him, he can do almost whatever he wants, and he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing in this life. People like Prince Said should have lived a life of abundance and abundance, instead of risking their own lives to hunt Moby Dick.

But everyone has their own aspirations. Some people have a good life, but they want to die, what can Palamides say?

"If it's for the sake of decency, I'll tell you that I hunted Moby Dick to make the Sahara Desert safer and stop passing ships from being attacked by that beast. But Prince Said said, "But in reality I am not going to lie to you, Mr. Paramidis." I hunted Moby Dick for revenge. ＂

"Revenge?" the big cat asked.

"Please don't pay attention to Palamidadis' words, Prince Said. Ms. Rosetta suddenly interjected: "He has very little attention to current affairs, he has hardly been in Africa before, and he knows nothing about the affairs of African countries. ＂

"No, it doesn't matter. I didn't intend to hide it. Prince Said replied calmly, and told everything and everything. Although the tone was extremely calm and undulating, the leopard warrior could vaguely hear that there were countless turbulent waves hidden in that calm tone:

"My queen mother died at the hands of Moby Dick. That was about 10 years ago, and I still remember it vividly. I watched as the queen mother's diplomatic ship was attacked by Moby Dick and the whole ship sank in the sand. In that huge explosion, in the crimson flames of Moby Dick, everyone on board was killed, including my mother. ＂

"Yes, yes...... The big cat snorted under his breath. It's a bit embarrassing.

"Haha, let's not talk about this kind of thing for now. Prince Said put the obscure subject aside, and by this time they had walked through the long underground staircase of the villa to a heavily secured steel gate.

"Welcome to my weapons collection room. The prince took out some kind of magnetic card and swiped it in front of the door. After repeated inspections by fingerprint and pupil recognition systems, the heavy steel gate finally opened.

The light of all kinds of treasures in the treasure room immediately poured into the pupils of the leopard warriors.
