Chapter 398: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
"Yo... Did you get along well last night? β
The key to Raymond's room was given by Anna, and the navigator lady naturally knew that Ilya was in the room.
The three of them had a very good relationship when they were in the Black Sea, and even when they went on the "Nightmare Ghost" expedition, they lived in the same house for a short time, which was nothing to see.
The only difference is that Ilya's appearance has indeed changed drastically from the beginning. That sexy and graceful figure, even if Anna saw it, she couldn't help but put her hands up and down.
In the face of Anna's ridicule, Ilya was not at all restrained.
"Uncle, it's still like that... Dumbfounded. β
She snorted coquettishly and said generously.
As she spoke, she held Anna's arm intimately and said goodbye: "Sister Anna, I'm going to go first, and I'll have a chance to chat with you again." β
"Hmm."
Anna nodded with a smile and said, "There has been a lot of turmoil in Gafatron recently, so you should be careful yourself." β
"Okay~"
Ilya smiled and waved at Raymond,
After all, it's a big girl, so I'm not embarrassed to kiss it in front of Anna.
She turned and left the hotel, leaving the two of them with a curling back.
Anna looked at Raymond's slightly distracted expression and sneered, "What's the matter, I can't bear that girl?" β
Raymond shrugged slightly, "What's the matter." β
"But then again..."
At this time, Anna looked at Elijah's graceful back, and also looked like she was savoring, and exclaimed: "That girl has indeed become so beautiful now." And that body is perfect... Tsk, I compared her last night, and she's about the same size..."
β...β
Raymond listened to this "almost" and immediately understood something.
He glanced at Anna's pride somewhere, and raised his brow slightly.
Cut, it's not about the same.
From a visual point of view, the name of Anna's "Ghost Regiment" as the first car lamp is still stable.
"Oh, I almost forgot about it!"
At this time, Anna thought of something, and said: "Last night, Ilya's girl cut off the space in the room, and the Kapone seniors sent a message, and thought something happened to you..."
Speaking of this, a touch of cunning flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she reached out to help Raymond wipe the lip prints on her neck, and suddenly changed the topic and said, "Next time... Remember to clean up the traces of the crime. β
β...β
Raymond rolled his eyes, he knew that Anna was obviously teasing again, and the interface would be teased.
He thought about asking the right thing, and then the topic asked, "Did the senior Capone say that he was looking for me again?" β
Anna rolled her eyes, "I said I wanted you to help confirm the small things." β
......
Not long after,
Raymond walked out of the Giant's Tavern.
In yesterday's battle, he was considered "notorious" in bounty hunter circles.
Lure the enemy to ambush, pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, a chicken thief by means... So much so that the bounty order of his thunder is now nailed by the "Bounty Guild" in Gafatron City, except for the first person under the two "Endless Eight Emperors" sea pirates, which is a treatment that many sea thieves who have offered hundreds of millions of sea pirates do not have.
However, this operation did achieve the effect that Raymond wanted.
[Blood Emperor] Capone sent a captain to protect him, and as soon as the news spread, the bounty hunters also understood one thing.
Raymond's status is extraordinary, and if he wants to kill him, it means offending the entire "Blood Emperor Pirates". That guy is not only retribution, but the "backstage" is also very hard!
The high-level bounty hunters did not dare to act rashly, and the low-level bounty hunters were also afraid of being killed, and there was no one who dared to do it casually.
Raymond just swaggered around the city, and didn't meet any good people.
......
The streets and alleys of Gafatlon, Raymond are as familiar as his back garden.
After he got an address from Capone, he picked a secluded alley to drill, and in a short time, he successfully got rid of the shadows of various forces and found this secret meeting place.
In this giant manor in the East City, Raymond meets Capone and Enzo, who are leisurely drinking tea and basking in the sun.
This manor is the foothold of the "Blood Emperor Pirates", and the surrounding houses are also inhabited by the backbone of the Blood Emperor Regiment's captains, although there are many shadows targeted by various forces, but no one dares to approach here blatantly.
Two vampire ancestors are lounging in the sun on a beach chair, with some rare and seemingly delicious fruits alongside them.
The two bigwigs didn't speak, lying down as if they were asleep.
"Huh... These fruits are rare! β
Raymond happened to have a dry mouth along the way, he looked at the type of fruit, and after confirming that it was a strange fruit that he had not eaten that could add attributes, he was not polite, picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth.
While biting into a mouthful of fruit pulp, he also asked, "Senior, listen to my partner, you two have something to tell me?" β
has dealt with the two in front of him a lot of times, and Raymond has already figured out the temper of the two big guys. knows that although the two of them are the world's top powerhouses, they are both the kind of uninhibited and bold people.
What's more, he was hacked by the Capone boss in the dungeon with more than a thousand sets of golden armor, and it is not an exaggeration to eat a few fruits from him.
γDing! You have taken 'Snake Venom Fruit', Agility +1 permanently, Movement Speed +15% for 15 minutes...]
γDing! You have taken 'Colorful Rosehips', and your strength is permanently +3...]
γDing! When you take 'Purple Apple', your mental power will be permanently +1, and your mental health will be +10% for 10 minutes...]
γ...γ
The system prompt kept ringing, and Raymond was also happy to eat.
Finally, listening to the sound of "let's chirp" and "let's chirp" eating fruit, the Capone boss couldn't help it anymore and shouted: "Hey, hey, hey... You're kid enough! It's a piece of fruit that you're going to set up for a while, so don't eat it all. β
"Huh?"
"Oh..."
Hearing this, Raymond answered faintly, but he didn't forget to stuff a fruit in his mouth at the end.
It's no wonder that this kind of fruit, which can be regarded as a high-level attribute amplification in the game, is placed on the plate, and it turns out to be a "card" for entertaining guests.
He also thought that the Blood Emperor Group had made a fortune, and the grade of fruits after the meal was so high.
There was no fruit to eat, so Raymond could only ask the matter: "Two seniors, what are your instructions for calling me?" β
didn't have time to talk about business, but Enzo on the side was still thinking about last night.
The big guy laughed very gossipily: "Yo... You kid can, 'The Seven Martial Seas of Your Majesty' are all your confidants? β
"She's a friend of mine, and I didn't expect her to be the Seven Martial Seas now."
Raymond said simply.
He didn't plan to hide it from the two big guys, after all, there was going to be a big battle tomorrow, and he didn't want the [Blood Emperor] group master and Ilya to bump into it, and there would be a scene of death battle because he didn't know the situation.
Enzo was amazed and said, "You kid is really amazing! It was shocking enough to get a CP9 Dark Elf Captain as a subordinate before, and now there is another friend of the Seven Martial Seas? I've also heard that your relationship with Helen's girl is not ordinary. Tsk, you kid has a lot of confidants..."
β...β
Raymond had a laughing and crying expression on his face.
How did this funny guy forcibly pull this marriage line?
Forget it about Ilya, after all, it's an old acquaintance of fellow villagers.
But what the hell are Helen and Arno?
Capone on the side obviously didn't gossip like Enzo, and he didn't have much interest in these things, so he said directly: "Raymond, I made an appointment with Colt, the chief of the 'Frost Tribe', to meet for a while, and I want you to help me confirm whether he has secretly taken refuge in the World Mansion." β
"Oh."
Raymond nodded, revealing a hint of suddenness, it turned out that the big guy had asked him to be a "human flesh identification machine" again.
Tomorrow is the ceremony of the election of the chief of the "Burning Thorn Tribe" Kron as the new Giant King, and there will be one last day of peace in the city of Gaffatron.
"Now the five major tribes of the Giant Clan, 'Burning Thorn' and 'Forest' have also confirmed that they are biased towards the World Mansion. The position of the chieftains of the 'Mountain' and 'Frost' tribes is of paramount importance..."
Capone thought that there was still time to spare, so he explained a few more words: "Uri said that Colt would never betray the Giants, and I also think that the old friend I once knew would not betray our friendship. But the attitude he is showing now is a little strange... If you can confirm that he has indeed taken refuge in the World Government, we should take some precautions in advance..."
"yes, I see."
Raymond nodded, and figured out what was going on.
If the position of the chieftain of the Frost Tribe is uncertain, tomorrow will be a big battle, and the former giant king Uli may not be able to control the overall situation.
When the time comes, if Colt is in the middle of the battle, do you say that when the time comes, will those giants of the Frost Tribe choose to listen to the orders of the giant king Uli, or listen to the chieftain of their own tribe?
In any case, it will be a big trouble.
At this time, Capone said: "According to the information we have obtained, tomorrow the high-level leaders of the five tribes will meet in Gafatlon, and once the vote for the 'merger of the five tribes' is successful, Kron's first order will be to mobilize all the giant clans to help the navy encircle and suppress the major pirate groups in the city." At that time, the three major generals of the Navy Headquarters will be here, and our 'Blood Emperor Pirates' and 'Elephant Emperor Pirates' will be the center of the two major wars..."
"The three admirals of the Navy Headquarters are all back?"
Raymond frowned slightly when he listened, this movement is a bit big.
Looking at the major events of the Endless Sea in recent decades, it seems that the only action that can make the three generals of the headquarters appear at the same time is the legendary "SSS Demon Slaying Order"?
"Yes!"
Capone said: "[Elephant Emperor] Taimo's side, I have secretly communicated some details with him, and this time our two pirates will join forces to attack the encirclement of the navy. In the big war, we will definitely not be able to take care of you, and when the time comes, you 'ghost group' can only rely on yourself to be more careful and try to avoid dangerous areas to break through..."
After a pause, he continued: "The main battlefield will be in the land battle in Gafatron City and the ship battle at sea, our 'Blood Emperor Pirates' will attract the main fleet of the Navy in the south, and the 'Elephant Emperor Pirates' in the west, you follow the fleet of the Giant Clan to the north, it will be much safer there..."
Raymond listened carefully to Capone's combat deployment, and then he understood that the big guy was showing himself a safe way to escape again.
When to do it, where is the battlefield a high-risk area... When to break through, what move is to lure the enemy, everything is clearly arranged.
There are many factors involved in a major war, and the slightest mistake can affect the outcome of a battle.
Therefore, it is very important to have a good war commander who can control the overall situation.
Obviously, Capone, a vampire ancestor who has lived for hundreds of years and has a lot of experience, is the most suitable.
When he was young, this big guy was not only the best graduate of the most famous "Kratos War Command Academy" in the Endless Sea, but also participated in various legendary battles large and small with "One Piece" Delos back then, and his theory and practical combat experience were absolutely first-class.
Raymond benefited a lot from listening to his words.
He thinks he can control a small war, but a large war is a little too strong.
Originally, in the game, he couldn't get in touch with the command of a large-scale war at all. Therefore, in group operations, he does not know the strategy of dispatching and harmonizing multiple forces, which is his knowledge blind spot.
It's not like learning skills, there are also system points that can be mastered quickly.
"War Command Theory" is a study that requires the accumulation of theory and actual combat experience, and there are no shortcuts to speak of.
You have to know how to plan strategically, you have to have fought in battles, and you have enough experience in actual combat to minimize the chance of your army's mistakes in the ever-changing battlefield, so as to gain the maximum advantage and defeat the enemy.
This is a very advanced blood alliance.
Listen to those incomparably professional strategic terms, and the incomparably exquisite strategic arrangements everywhere.
Only then did Raymond understand that the Capone boss had planned too much for this "Battle of the Giant Country".
He is not only the world's top powerhouse, but also an excellent war commander!
This is completely out of the small-scale encounters that ordinary pirates can understand, but the large-scale wars of real regular armies.
In Lei Leimeng's heart, a wave of admiration arose.
......
Time flies.
Raymond listened to the various key arrangements of the big man's science popularization of the large-scale war, and asked a few questions from time to time, like a student who humbly asks the teacher for knowledge.
It's okay to be idle, and Capone is happy to teach.
Raymond now has a very high level of understanding, and he learns everything quickly, and often the Capone boss can give him the harvest of Daigo empowerment with a little click.
The topic of "command of war" was talked about for an hour or two and had to be interrupted,
Because the time has come to meet by appointment,
Raymond was a little unsatisfied.
Soon after a subordinate of the [Blood Emperor] group reported it, Colt, the chief of the "Frost Tribe", secretly came to the manor where Capone was located with several important elders of the tribe.
In the game, Raymond is no stranger to these high-level leaders of the "Frost Tribe". Even without introduction, he could name these famous frost giants.
This secret meeting was actually part of the original plan.
After the Giant King Uli is "dead", Capone needs to contact the Frost Tribe and the Mountain Tribe to fight back.
This time it was a high-end secret talk, and in addition to Capone and Enzo, only a few other important captains of the [Blood Emperor] team attended.
Although Raymond tried his best to act like a "little transparent", his little shrimp still attracted the side eyes of the frost giants.
The people who can participate in this secret meeting are all core members of both sides, at least they are all top-level transcendentals, and only Raymond, a swordsman in Sequence 4, is particularly eye-catching.
Ray's series of hype made him more or less a "celebrity" in Gafatron.
But although the giant elders were a little surprised, they didn't ask much.
Obviously, they felt that Capone must have some deep meaning in keeping him here, and the most likely thing was that this kid named Raymond might be a "think tank" in the [Blood Emperor] group.
......
The confidential talks continued.
The Giant Elders were not heterochromatic, but the Chief Colt made Raymond suspicious.
"There's something wrong with that guy!"
Raymond looked at the system prompt, and there was indeed a hostile prompt.
However, this hostility is not "camp hostility", which makes him very confused.
Generally speaking, as long as the distance is close enough for the soul to feel it, triggering the hostility of the title of "Feud of the Twelve Sages", the system will immediately appear a prompt.
But the first time Raymond approached Colt just now, the system prompt didn't sound.
It was the hostility that arose after this Colt saw himself and recognized his appearance.
It's like the feeling of enemies meeting each other, and getting more and more red-eyed.
Although this Colt is well disguised, the hostile data on the system prompt is getting higher and higher...
"If I remember correctly... I haven't met this Chief Colt before, have I? Not to mention the old feuds... How did he trigger a hostile prompt as soon as he saw me? β
Raymond's expression was not different, but he was very puzzled in his heart.
If you really want to say that he has seen it, it is just that he watched this amazing duel between Colt and Crone in the Giant Arena before.
Other than that, there is no intersection at all.
But now, the kind of hostility that was triggered by the meeting just now obviously means... The other party is very likely to know him!
Raymond knew that he had many enemies, but there was absolutely no such Colt.
"It's the Davide family, the Oliver family... Or the hatred implicated by other old enemies? β
He carefully listed all his enemies in his mind.
With this thought, his brain was like a precision calculator, quickly analyzing and eliminating every possibility.
Whether it's for money, or for the sake of repaying favors like Levi before, you can invite an enemy who is hostile to you by a top powerhouse like Colt... It must not be easy.
Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration!
"Huh..."
Raymond sighed softly in his heart, because a person flashed through his mind at this moment.
That guy is motivated, capable, and has the potential to... Everything is in line with the current situation!
But... If it was really her, it would be really complicated.
"Those guys in the World Mansion wouldn't have such a big layout, would they? Tsk, if that's what I think, it's fun..."
Raymond's eyes rolled, and some thoughts flashed through his heart, and he felt more and more that his conjecture might be the truth!
At this time, when he looked at the "Colt" not far away, his eyes became more and more strange.
He didn't delay any longer, and in order to confirm his thoughts, he directly threw away a "true eye".
Then, as he had expected, another name appeared on the head of the "Colt" - Emmanuel Lynn Murphy!
This guy is none other than the [Rubik's Cube Fruit] ability, one of the "Seven Martial Seas of the King", the [Thousand-Faced Demon] Murphy!
......
"No wonder meeting triggers a hateful prompt... It turned out to be really her! β
Raymond then realized where this hatred came from.
Previously in the "City of Eternal Night" Eleudnes, this Murphy disguised Anna as a favor for him; Then he disguised himself as Lady Mary and was almost killed by the [Enma Prostrate]... This is definitely a big feud.
"It's really a narrow road!"
Raymond also felt that it was a bit of a coincidence, the Endless Sea was so big, but he ran into the woman again.
However, he was even more surprised, since the "Colt" in front of him was disguised by Murphy, what about the real Frost Tribe chief?
But obviously, the most likely thing is that he was killed in secret!
Colt and Cron were seriously injured in a decisive battle before, and it is estimated that they were secretly killed by the masters of the World Mansion after that, and then replaced with such a "fake".
If Capone hadn't called Raymond to see the situation today, even if he suspected that there was something wrong with this Colt, it would only be a suspicion.
He can't kill an old friend because of some abnormalities in his senses, right?
Gee... However, if such a serious problem is maintained, the situation of tomorrow's talks will be complicated.
Now that the chiefs of the "Burning Thorn Tribe" and the "Forest Tribe" have taken refuge in the World Governorate, the "Mountain Tribe" is weak and has nothing to say, and the "Frost Tribe" is a vital part...
When the time comes, the giant king Uli appears, Colt is on the verge of rebellion, and the chiefs of the three major tribes are against him... Even with the support of the "Voodoo tribe", Uli's seizure of power will be difficult, and there may be a fierce battle...
Not to mention anything else, without the help of the giants, at least Capone's plan would be much more difficult, and even had the possibility of failure.
I have to say that the World General Administration's plan of "stealing beams and changing pillars" is indeed a thief.
......
Everything was normal in the talks.
According to Uli's arrangement, Capone negotiated with Colt and decided to vote against it tomorrow at the "Five Ethnic Talks".
Both sides had their own thoughts, discussed some details, and even made plans to split the giant kingdom...
In this meeting, Capone wanted to test Colt's position...
But in other words, isn't that fake Colt like going deep into the enemy's den to find out the situation of Capone's gang for the world government?
But because of the existence of Raymond, the biggest variable, this secret discussion between the two sides allowed Capone to gain the upper hand.
......
The Frost Giants left the manor.
Capone then asked, "Boy Raymond, do you see anything unusual?" β
Raymond: "Colt wasn't rebelled against by the World Governorate. β
"Oh?"
Capone frowned, but he was also relieved.
At least the old friend did not betray him, which is a happy event.
But he was slightly puzzled: "But why do I always think he feels a little strange to me... Could it be that I'm thinking too much? β
"Kapone-senpai, the situation may be a little worse..."
Raymond sighed slightly, and then said, "The real Colt may have died, the one just now... It's [Witch with a Thousand Faces] Murphy pretending! β
"What?!"
Hearing this,
Capone and Enzo on the side both had extremely surprised looks on their faces.
After a little thought, they immediately realized the horror of this "conspiracy".
"Hey, hey... Those old guys in the General Staff of the World General Office really like to play this kind of serial scheme! Obviously, he has won the game, and he has made such a hand of 'insurance'. If we don't find out this time, tomorrow the 'fake Colt' may cause us a lot of trouble in our operations..."
"[Witch with a Thousand Faces] Murphy? Tsk, that's interesting. Now the situation of the five major tribes is completely clear..."
