Chapter 116: Wandering Spirits
While Wood VI of the royal palace was working hard for the upcoming Feast of Abundance and his own plans, several mysterious figures in black satin robes were walking through the pouring rain on the edge of a warehouse not far from the Marjery family estate in the aristocratic quarter of King's Port.
They were silent and silent, and even deliberately avoided stepping on puddles of water that had accumulated too much water, and they also chose unobtrusive and secluded alleys, and even in such bad weather, they carefully hid in the shadow of the eaves of the houses on both sides.
The men were sneaky but swift, and almost in the blink of an eye they pierced the inside of the warehouse through the fence in the distance.
A black-robed man led by him opened the side door of the warehouse with ease, and several people behind him quickly flashed in one by one.
"Hurry up, that guy's surveillance network is almost everywhere, we must not be exposed for too long......"
The leader scolded with his own hands, and then the two black-robed people who were left behind sped up.
Although it had been less than five seconds since their figures had left the shadows of the eaves and been exposed to the rain, it was clear that the leader was still not satisfied with the speed.
Thankfully, they managed to get into the warehouse without anyone noticing.
"Don't relax, keep walking, it's not a safe area in the house!" The leader locked the door to the warehouse, and in a serious tone continued to urge his men who were trying to tidy up their soaked robes.
Only he knew how powerful what they were hiding, and the thin wooden roof of this warehouse couldn't hold them out!
In desperation, a group of black-robed men continued to speed up their pace towards the interior of the warehouse, and then they quickly stopped in front of a wooden pillar.
The leader of the black-robed men walked over to the wooden pillar and stretched out his right hand to tap it several times in succession at three different positions on the pillar in a peculiar rhythm.
When he finished tapping, there was a sudden "click" at the lower end of the wooden pillar, as if some card slot had been opened.
Immediately after, a rattling sound of iron chains sounded behind the black-robed people, and all the black-robed people immediately turned around to look, only to see that on the floor in front of the door where they came, there was a dark deep hole at some point.
"Hey! It's really an old man......" The leader of the black-robed people shook his head, and spat out a word with some contempt in his mouth.
"Let's go, let's go down and see, that old guy let us brave such a heavy rain and risk to come here, and he must give us some explanation......"
The leader of the black-robed people sneered and said a few words, then turned around and walked down from the cave entrance first.
The other black-robed men followed him, and when everyone entered, there was a crisp "click" under the wooden pillar, and then the entrance to the hole at the door of the warehouse was slowly covered by the wooden floor.
......
In the underground passage where they couldn't see their fingers, the group of black-robed people seemed to ignore the dark environment around them, and they quickly advanced along the passage without hesitation.
They were extremely fast, and all of them seemed to possess the ability to see in darkness, never stopping to make their way when they came across the fork in the passage and where they should turn.
In this way, they soon came to the center of a seemingly ordinary passage, and then the black-robed man in the lead suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand and knocked on the stone wall beside him.
Knock knock... Boom......
The peculiar rhythm and rhythm of the percussion soon activated the mechanism again, and the stone wall in front of the leader of the black-robed men clicked, and then a large square rock in the center dented and slid to the side.
Surrounded by black-robed men, their leader walked without hesitation into another room behind the stone-walled secret door, where the head of the Marjery family and the Minister of Commerce of King's Port stood behind a large desk waiting for their arrival.
"Good afternoon, everyone, my father and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"I'm sorry for the long time, but I believe that the contemptible people have reminded the two of you before, now is a critical moment, and our whereabouts must not be exposed, so I hope the two of you really have something important to discuss, otherwise it will ......"
The black-robed man took his hood down, revealing a face wearing a golden mask.
There was a threat in his words, and although the last sentence was not complete, both father and son of the Majerry family clearly knew what he was going to say.
"This is natural, if there is no important matter, my father and I will not dare to offend you." The Minister of Commerce of King's Port, Petis, spoke immediately.
Now that they're on a thief ship, it's hard to think about it.
What's more, the Majeri family now has no other way to go except for this thief ship to get on.
If Wood VI's reforms are successful, then the Joshua family, who have been heirlooms with diplomatic skills, may still be able to keep the family lineage, but the Marjery, which started purely as a business, will definitely be liquidated!
His Majesty's military reform required a large amount of gold, and with his knowledge of the current King's Harbor treasury, after the last Skeletron incident, there was no money in the King's Harbor treasury to support his reforms.
At that time, the Marjery family, which has no hard power behind them, will become a big fat sheep to be slaughtered, and it is absolutely impossible for Wood VI to resist not biting them!
So they now have to hold on to the only thick thigh that remains, even if it's full of burrs!
Therefore, they must not offend these guys in front of them no matter what.
Fetith's flattering words made the leader of the black-robed men in the golden mask nod.
This kid is good, he knows how to bend and stretch, if it weren't for the fact that the Mageri family had already been on the list of families to be disposed of afterwards, he really wanted to recommend this kid to the witch, I believe the witch would definitely "like" this guy very much.
Hey, what a pity......
"Well, that's good." Thinking like this in his heart, the leader of the black-robed people did not show any expression on the surface, but just pulled a chair from the side and walked to the opposite of the two, making a listening appearance.
"That's right, we've already arranged the things you told you before, but it's a little difficult in the palace, that legendary mage... We can't deal with it, so ......"
"You don't have to worry about this, there will naturally be people who will go to him for trouble, what else?"
"The other thing is that guy... You haven't seen much since he arrived, so you may not know that the two women who followed this guy have now been promoted to the legendary level! ”
"What did you say?!" Hearing this, the black-robed leader could no longer maintain his composure.
He suddenly stood up from his chair and glared at Fitis in disbelief.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, they showed up at the bazaar this morning, and our people probed the breath of those two women and said with great certainty that these are definitely two legendary Amazon masters!"
