Chapter 412: Identity and Status
In order to unify the religious ideology in the Mona Kingdom, Green can almost be said to have offended all the six major churches, and incidentally, the relationship between the Mona Kingdom and other countries has also become delicate. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Green chose to hide his identity and travel in a low-key manner.
In order not to attract attention, Green set off from Banwan Harbor on the armed merchant ship of the Mona Chamber of Commerce, and after several days of sea voyage, he came to the waters of the Kingdom of Palomia, and then happened to encounter two warring sailing ships - it seemed that a merchant ship had encountered pirates.
Mona Kingdom relies on imports for many materials, so Green still attaches great importance to the aspect of "protecting merchant ships".
Three armed merchant ships approached, and then a group of shadow guards killed the sailing ships on the opposite side, and completed the suppression of the two sailing ships in just a few tens of seconds.
"Actually, these shadow guards are quite strong." Green stood on the upper deck and watched the battle below.
"The enemy is just a bunch of ordinary people." Qian Ying stood behind Grimm and looked at the battle below indifferently, "Relying on the advantage of equipment and strength, it's okay to bully ordinary people, but if they encounter real powerhouses, they can only play some 'vigilant' role at most." ”
The black-clad masked man who killed the two sailboats was the shadow guard trained by the Thousand Shadows. These shadow guards are adept at lurking and guarding the shadow planes, and although they cannot move through the shadow planes, they can detect and prevent other assassins from sneaking into the castle through shadow stealth and other means.
The Shadow Guardians are very vigilant, and have spotted spies and assassins infiltrating the royal city many times over the years. However, compared to their vigilance ability, Thousand Shadows is not very satisfied with their combat power - the extraordinary power of the demon race comes from the bloodline, and it is somewhat similar to the "naturally transcendent" silver race. It is enough for the shadow guards to bully ordinary people by relying on the extraordinary power in their bloodline, but if they encounter the kind of extraordinary powerhouses who come up step by step from the corpse mountain and blood sea with their own strength, the flaws in the combat skills of the shadow guards will be instantly magnified.
The people who will be sent to "assassinate the Demon King" will definitely not be ordinary people! Therefore, Chikage's positioning of these guards is "vigilance", and he doesn't expect their actual combat effectiveness, if he really encounters the kind of assassin who tries to "assassinate the Demon King", the actual battle can only rely on Chikage and Grimm.
When the battle was over, Green stopped paying attention. The maids will take care of the rest themselves.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lilith, a succubus dressed as a maid, to come to Green with a treasure map.
"Master, this was found from the ships of those pirates."
Due to her exploits in assassinating the dragon turtle and her excellent ability in intelligence gathering, after the establishment of the kingdom, Lilith successfully broke away from her previous "little transparent" identity and became the deputy minister of military intelligence of the kingdom, and also became Green's entourage maid during this trip - mainly responsible for intelligence gathering and liaison with local military intelligence agents, and can also be thrown out as cannon fodder and meat shield when necessary.
Green reached out and took the map and looked at it, "Treasure map?" ”
Lilith: "Yes. While those pirates were searching for treasure, the navigator died, so a group of pirates lost their way and got lost in the sea for more than a month, running out of food and water. When they saw the merchant ship, they attacked it for water and food. ”
"Hmm...... Where did that merchant ship go? ”
"The owner of this merchant ship is a merchandiser, and they have brought a shipment of food and seasonings to the port of Agena to sell it."
"Shipped to us......," Green touched his chin, "lock up all those pirates, and send them back to the South China Sea Fleet to replenish the fleet." As for the merchant ship, let it go. ”
"Yes, master."
"As for this treasure map." Green glanced at the treasure map in his hand, "Send it to the Military Intelligence Department, and hand it over to the Military Intelligence Department to deal with." ”
"Yes, master."
Now that all departments of the kingdom have been established, as the king of a country, most things no longer need to be handled by Green personally, but only need to be handed over to the various departments under his control, and then someone will naturally take care of this matter. A "trivial matter" like finding a treasure doesn't need to be asked by Green at all.
The treasure map, which is very precious in the eyes of ordinary people, has become a "not worth mentioning" trivial matter in the eyes of Green today.
"Master, what should we do with that pirate ship?" Lilith gestured to the pirate ship floating on the sea.
"Sell it to the merchants at a discount. After all, their losses this time are quite large, so they should make up for their losses this time. "Green is still very generous to these businessmen. The territory also needs these merchants to transport goods and goods, so Green doesn't want these merchants to go bankrupt because of too much loss.
After the maids had taken care of their business, the fleet set sail again.
On the merchant ship, the surviving sailors looked at the fleet, their faces showing the joy of the rest of their lives. At the same time, the owner of the merchant ship couldn't help but smile when he looked at the pirate ship floating not far away.
A few hiccups in the journey didn't interfere with Green's journey. Three armed merchant ships sailed to Miluo Port according to the established route, and arrived at Miluo Port at night.
The merchant ships began to unload the goods and transport the goods to the Demon Chamber of Commerce stronghold here, while Green took advantage of the night to sneak into Miluo Harbor quietly under the cover of night with Thousand Shadows and a group of guards.
Although Green has a low-key heart, with Green's current identity, no matter how low-key he is, the most basic guards still have to be brought: the personal maid and the head of the guard maid, Chikage, the twenty shadow guards who are the best at stealth and combat carefully selected from hundreds of shadow guards, plus the deputy minister of military intelligence, Succubus Lilith and the agents planted in the kingdom in advance, theoretically, even if Green encounters a sneak attack by a legendary powerhouse, he can still get time to fight back under the protection of many guards.
Of course, on the surface, there are only three people in Green's party: Green, the personal guard maid Chikage, and Lilith, who is responsible for carrying the luggage, and the rest of the entourage is basically hidden in the dark.
After disembarking, Green, at the suggestion of Deputy Military Intelligence Secretary Lilith, went to a common tavern near the docks of Miluo Harbor.
On the surface, this is a very ordinary-looking tavern, because it is not far from the port and the price is affordable, so many dock workers and guards often come here to drink and eat, but behind the scenes, this is an intelligence base of the Mona Kingdom's military intelligence department.
Led by a tavern maid, Green and Chikage moved into the most exclusive room in the tavern, while Lilith, who was in charge of carrying the luggage, was placed in the room next to Green, while the rest of the guards lurked in the shadows around the tavern.
