Chapter 32: Trickery III

【Wanghai Expedition Road Bosang】

Duke Bob had to get up from the bed with a lot of strength, he rubbed the bruises on his body with his scaly hands, and after sitting up, he moved his muscles and bones, and the sound of creaking came from his body, and his body had a feeling of tightness, it seemed that yesterday's injuries had not healed.

"The strange man in that crater yesterday is really powerful, if I hadn't withdrawn in time, I would have died there......" Duke Bob said to himself, some of the scars on his body were still obvious, and some of the sensations that made him feel uncomfortable came directly to his mind.

The Duke hurriedly put on his clothes, the clothes covered the scars on his body very well, he pulled the sleeves of the dress down hard, his tall figure, the hair on his head was a little scattered, floating in the sea, his face was very calm, and his serene appearance was actually a little kind.

"Sean, Sean?" Duke Bob's hoarse voice sounded, calling his butler, and after a while, a fish-man in a ceremonial dress appeared politely in front of the duke: "Has anyone visited recently?" ”

"Mr. Duke, Duke Kuler has sent someone to tell you that if you have time, you can go to him and taste the new varieties of tea from the earthly world." The butler said softly, the duke thought about it and waved his hand:

"Forget about Sean, and Cooler said, I've not been in good health lately. Let's talk about tea or something later. ”

Duke Bob's physical weakness, Sean can hear it completely, from the duke's face and tone can clearly detect his physical discomfort, Sean didn't talk much, he knew that something was wrong with the duke after he came back from a trip yesterday, it seemed that he had suffered some kind of injury, but, this is not something he can ask.

"By the way, Mr. Duke, there is also a little guy from the ground, who asks to see you with the token of the former Grand Duke Rowan, he has suffered a little injury, and I have already instructed the maid to arrange the little fellow." Sean's words made the duke's brows curle, and an old fishman appeared in his mind, it was the former Grand Duke Rowan.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Duke Bob's face, he did have a friendship with Rowan, but now his physical condition is indeed a little poor, and it is impossible to help him solve any problems, although he is very curious about the little guy who came up on the ground, and after thinking about it again and again, he still sighed.

"Sean, I'll see him when he gets better."

"Lord Duke, that little guy is doing well now, he ......" Sean told Bob about Ike's condition, and the Duke's face was suddenly full of helplessness, he shrugged his shoulders, and some scaly hands rested on his forehead.

"I'm going to meet that glutton."

……

In Duke Bob's mansion, Ike was eating and drinking, fresh sea urchins and sashimi, raw lobsters from the cold deep sea, those abominable fish were now on Ike's table, and they were turned into a luxurious glutton, and Ike kept praising the deliciousness of the sauce, even though everything under the sea tasted like the sea.

Ike skillfully sliced a two-meter-long shark with a knife, and the meat that had been heated to a warm temperature was very tender, although there was still a little bit of the strange taste of shark meat, but the taste was flavored by the unique seasoning of the seabed: sunflower juice

Later, it actually had the effect of turning decay into magic, and a faint fragrance spread from the flesh of Youxia, which made Ike have a great appetite.

Just as Ike was frantically nibbling - his way of eating was really unelegant, and it was appropriate to describe it as gnawing. Duke Bob and Butler Sean walked in, and both swallowed saliva when they saw Ike gobbling up so much.

However, Ike paid no attention to them and continued to eat and drink to himself.

"Uh, Sean, this is the ......" Duke Bob asked softly, Sean nodded, Duke Bob swallowed his saliva, and sat directly across from Ike, who was much more elegant than Ike, and only began to eat after the next person handed him a square scarf.

He carefully cut open a piece of abalone meat and put it in his mouth to chew slowly, but when he saw Ike on the other side nibbling the shark clean, he felt like he was about to be full.

"This little brother, you are really a starving ghost reincarnated." In the face of Duke Bob's joke, Ike waved his hand and didn't pay attention to it at all, and when he ate the tender flesh of the last tailbone of the shark, he wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and gestured to Duke Bob with a weird smile. 、

Ike's smile made Duke Bob feel a little uncomfortable, and after seeing him eat a shark so rudely, he didn't think that this little guy was an ordinary character - either he was a starving ghost reincarnated, or he was a monster.

Sean coughed twice, and Ike realized that he was facing a fish-man duke, so he hurriedly took out the token that Rowan gave him, and handed it to Duke Bob, who had already eaten the abalone, and the brilliant fish scales were handed to Duke Bob from Ike's hand, and he wiped his hands elegantly and took the scales.

"That's right, it's Rowan's token, young man, do you have any advice for coming here?" Duke Bob looked at the scales, and after looking at them for a while, Ike began to eat again, starting with the slices of deep-sea fish, and kept sending the bright flesh into his mouth.

"Well, the young man just has a good amount of food, Sean, give him some vegetables, it's better to have balanced nutrition." Duke Bob looked at Ike's way of eating as if he hadn't eaten for many days, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his heart, and after Ike finished eating, he dug his nostrils, and said without caring about etiquette:

"Duke Bob, thank you for your hospitality, haha, I know that the person introduced by Mr. Rowan will definitely not treat me badly, I hope you can help me get back into my team, I was betrayed by a bastard, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you." Ike shrugged his shoulders in a look of innocence.

"Well, since Lord Rowan has sent you this token, then you deserve my help." Duke Bob smiled brightly, although it made Ike feel very uncomfortable: "No matter who you are, hehe, you will always be worthy of my help." ”

……

Ace is waiting for the arrival of the assassin team outside the big city, he has already taken all the troops under his command and has become the servant of the Dream Apostle, which is very simple for him, he only needs to move his fingers, however, his ability is also flawed, the more servants he controls, the more difficult it is for him to manipulate, at present, there is no problem in controlling three or four hundred people, after all, the assassin team is only two or three hundred.

"O master, look at this magnificent city, there will be a slaughter in this beautiful place soon, maybe the gods will not forgive us for the destruction of the beautiful city, but what does it have to do with us? The so-called gods are not even ants compared to my great master! Along the way, the viscount's praise never stopped, and Ace listened to it with calluses.

He gouged out his ears and looked at the bright-faced viscount in front of him, unable to say a word.

"Master, I bet this bastard must be a sycophant, and when he is in the position of viscount, his mouth should play a big role." The words of the skeleton black dragon made Ace extremely agreeable, and it had been following Ace, listening to the viscount's unreasonable praise, and also had a feeling that his ears were tormented.

"So we are all kind-hearted people, and we are much kinder than the viscount." Ace said without hesitation, and the Viscount only smiled when he heard it, keeping him silent for a maximum of two minutes.

Just as Ike was taunting the viscount, more than thirty dark shadows suddenly appeared behind him, and Ace looked back, it was a group of well-disguised assassins, their arms were full of blades, their faces covered with masks, even their eyes became blurred, and their hands were sharp blades that could pierce the enemy's chest at any time, I have to say, this kind of fish-man is really a natural assassin.

"Lord Skye!" When the more than thirty fishmen appeared, they saluted Ace together, and Ace swept over with a glance and asked them lightly:

"You ...... Call me what? ”

"Master!" The thirty assassins replied in unison, and Ace smiled with satisfaction.

"Viscount, is the team ready? I don't think there are any guys who won't meet with us, I've always felt like that Klough bastard doesn't trust me, hmph, he'll regret it. Ace said as he walked to Bob's big city, where he ordered the Assassins to stay still.

And he, go and find out where that familiar and somewhat hazy figure is.

Ace's body became illusory, and that illusory state made it impossible for any guard to know about his existence, even if he passed by, he would not realize that he had entered the big city, so the guards of this city were already in vain.

Walking through the glass-like transparent corridor to the glittering castle hall, the huge sea glow at the top of the hall emitted a dazzling light, Ace knew why Clough's bastard wanted to assassinate Duke Bob himself, because this duke's financial resources and rights were completely incomparable to Clough's bastard, if it weren't for Clough's conditions being a little tempting, he didn't want to offend such a duke.

Clough said that there was something here that would allow Ike to increase his strength in the short term, otherwise he would not have bothered to risk it.

In the bright hall, Ace felt a very familiar aura, which made him feel like a family member, but that aura was directly below the hall, and it was not very close. So Ace wandered around and found that there were six stairs leading to the hall in all directions, which was a headache for him.

"The owner of this is a bit too extravagant, and it takes a lot of material resources and manpower to build such a building." Ace's murmur was naturally ignored, and he walked down a staircase to the bottom of the hall, and after passing through the heavy corridors, he reached a very strange place.

It was a quaint door, and there were mysterious words on the door, which didn't look like the words left by the fish-people, but more like the ancient characters of Noah's humans, and the appearance of these ancient words aroused Ike's great interest, as for why it appeared in Duke Bob's castle, an idiot can also know that he has nothing to do with this thing.

"Damn, this rune is still a sealing technique that I'm not very good at, well, it's really weird, but it's not hard for me, and all I need is a little time, yes, a little time......" Ace muttered to himself, his sense of the breath inside became stronger and stronger, and there was an inexplicable force pushing him to open the door as soon as possible.

An hour later, with the runes on the door glowing pale blue, Ace managed to open the door.

"What a hassle, let me see what's in there!" Ace pushed open the door, it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything, but he stood at the door in a daze, looking at the things inside with surprised eyes, and there was a faint light inside, so that his eyes couldn't leave it at all.

"Good! Duke Bob, right? I'm going to tear you bastard to pieces! Ace scolded viciously, and in that faint light, a weak soul floated in it, and an aura as inclusive as the sea struck, making people easily think of the calm sea, the appearance of calm waves.

However, this is a stagnant water in Ace's eyes.

The soul curled up in that glow was Ace's acquaintance, no, it should be said that they couldn't have been more acquainted, it was his relative, and his only relative: the Apostle of the Sea - Fili
