Chapter 1088: Smuggling
The lower level of the Pale Nest, a checkpoint for foreign objects.
The Heavenly Fury who served as the staff of the checkpoint were almost all members of the small but long-established neutral families of the Heavenly Fury, and the previous Thorn Court believed that only these people could ensure the safety of the Pale Nest and protect the Heavenly Fury from foreign enemies, this tradition has been carried down to this day, and the Neuer family, the only one who has communicated with the human society in the Nether, has naturally become the biggest beneficiary of it.
This kind of thing naturally happens from time to time, and these families who work at the checkpoint have a good relationship with the Neuer family, plus many gadgets in the human world, they are indeed very popular with the ladies and ladies of various rich families in the Pale Nest, and over time, these items that are "strictly forbidden to enter the Pale Nest" have become sought-after goods in the private of the nobles, and even the current Queen of the Wrath, Boisel, some small things used in daily life are brought in with this method similar to smuggling.
"Selous? What's going on, are all the people of your Neuer family gone? Actually let you, the captain of the personal guard, personally deliver the goods? ”
"Haha, recently there is another hope in the human country of the Nether to seek the protection of our Heavenly Fury, as an 'envoy', I naturally have to make a trip in person, those humans in the Nether are not stupid, otherwise how can I bluff them?" Selous laughed and responded, "It's the same old rule this time, when you're done tonight, take your brothers to our family as guests." ”
"Haha, that's pretty embarrassing."
"Come on, you, neither of us knows who." Selous had a cheerful personality and laughed and said, "Then we'll go first." ”
"Let's go...... By the way, you still have to tell me what the contents are, otherwise I won't be able to register. ”
"Contents...... Well, it's some magic items commonly used by humans in the Nether Realm, and although it's inferior, the patriarch of our family thinks it's still necessary to purchase some, after all, things like lighting can't always let our noble arcane magic come, right? ”
"Okay, you guys go back, I'll look for you later."
"Alright, let's go first."
Walking out of the checkpoint, Selous's sideburns couldn't help but slip a few drops of cold sweat.
People often say "don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door", and people like Selous belong to a typical lack of heart, because the goods behind these eagle-faced camels behind him are not "magic props commonly used by humans in the nether world" at all, but a few large, fully mature demon sucking insects!
Selous's real age is actually much younger than the patriarch Lenzer and the treasurer Lima, which is the main reason why he has no say in the meeting of the Neuer family, and the few demon sucking insects he carried behind him, Lenze didn't tell him what the use was at all, but just asked him to go to the ancient god tree in person, near a hidden magic barrier, and found these "goods" that had been placed there in advance.
Even if Selous did not experience the "Demon Sucking Worm Plague" of the year, he had heard of that terrible accident from many sources, and legend has it that during that time, as many as hundreds of Heavenly Fury people lost their lives, although the culprit has been identified, and this highly growing Demon Sucking Insect has also been proven to be a disaster as long as it is not deliberately guided, but the stubborn Heavenly Fury still drove them all out.
However, these insects were born from the Ancient Sacred Tree, so although the Heavenly Fury Clan was extremely afraid of them, there was no way not to deal with them, and the situation was not improved until the Arcane Barrier that enveloped the entire Pale Nest was established.
But now, the patriarch of the Zi family actually allowed himself to "secretly" transport such a terrible thing back to the Pale Lair!
If it weren't for his absolute execution and 100% trust in his own family patriarch, Selous would never have done such a thing, even now, he has an urge to expose his own family patriarch's practices.
No matter how you look at it, it's like playing with fire.
Of course, as the captain of the Neuer family's personal guard, Selous is not so stupid as to think of demon sucking insects as calamities and monsters like ordinary Heavenly Wrath people, but this thing is like an atheist walking at night, and there will still be some hairiness in his heart anyway.
While Selous was immersed in his own thoughts, he and the eagle-faced camels behind him had arrived at the first docking node of the Neuer family in the Pale Lair, and when they saw that their patriarch would actually greet him in person at such a remote docking node...... An inexplicable sense of sacredness suddenly rose in Selous's heart.
"Nothing went wrong, did you?" Lenzer greeted Selous and asked in a low voice.
"Patriarch, everything is going well."
Lenzer nodded and said, "This is the first task that Xandersa has given to our family, and although it is not loyal or not, it should still be done with all our hearts. ”
"Patriarch, forgive me for talking too much...... These, these are mature demon sucking worms. Selous whispered, "Is it really okay to bring such a dangerous thing into the Pale Lair?" ”
"I'll talk about these things later." Lenzer prevaricated Selous and continued, "I can roughly guess what Xandertha went to great lengths to get these demon sucking worms into the Pale Nest...... And if I'm not mistaken, these things won't make such a big mess as they did back then. ”
"Why?" Selous looked a little unwilling and asked, "Although you know Xiandelsha, so many years have passed, and she is no longer the same person she used to be. ”
"That's right, I don't want to refute it." Lenzer sighed softly and continued, "But you've also heard that guy named Wengrass say that the purpose of Sendelsa's return is not just to take revenge on Baiisel, she also wants ...... Dominate the entire Pale Lair and reclaim the throne of the Thorns. ”
"Hmph." Selous was a little noncommittal about this, "To be honest, I don't think she'll make it. ”
"I don't think she'll succeed either, but she certainly wouldn't think so." Lenzer watched as the hawk-faced hullocks walked into the level's warehouse, "So, there's no way she's going to destroy the entire Skywrath, but like I said before...... This is a great change, and it is up to us whether we will continue to move forward through the ages or end our glory with a fall. ”
