Chapter 117: The Island That Runs There
"Who are you?"
Liam looked warily at the wizard who had suddenly appeared in front of them using a spell mirror, his brow furrowed. Just got the truth about his father's death, why did such a person appear to add to the chaos?
"Jiang Weihan."
Jiang Weihan replied, "Don't worry, I'm from the Alliance, from the Valoran Federation. ”
Lord Hervel looked at the mirror image of the mage's trick, and remembered that when they had withdrawn from Gilneth the previous day, the crashed yodeler pilot had spoken to them that their head seemed to be their name—the spelling was so unique that he remembered it at once.
"You're the head of the Valoran Federation?" Hevers asked.
"I am," Jiang Weihan nodded in acknowledgement, he looked at Prince Liam, "Prince Liam, in fact, what the three of you want to prove is meaningless. ”
Doesn't make sense? Liam's already disgruntled feelings became even more agitated. Suppressing his anger, he asked, "You mean, my father's death doesn't matter?" ”
Jiang Weihan said: "Please don't misunderstand. I mean, whatever answer you get from here, it's what the enemy wants you to get, not the real facts. I sympathize with King Jean's death, but I'm sure it was a hoax set up by a natural disaster. It must be a natural disaster that kills your father. The means may be direct assassination, or it may be secretly planned. But does it matter? The murderer behind the scenes is always the Scourge Legion. You have to think about your revenge and don't be fooled by what is in front of you - now that Gilneth is devastated, she can't afford to be frustrated! ”
Liam was unmoved, "Your Excellency, what can you prove your words?" Let's get something real! I don't like to listen to rhetoric. ”
His tone was a little impatient, but this attitude also caused Jiang Weihan's dissatisfaction. He was clearly here to help the group, not to stand trial.
Jiang Weihan frowned and said, "A few months ago, the alliance organized an operation to encircle and suppress the natural disaster base. I was personally involved. Our fight went smoothly at first, but when we were about to kill the mastermind behind the scenes, we lost. There is a group of Dreadlords who contribute to the natural disaster. What they do best is to confuse people's minds. Your father's death is 100% the work of the Dreadlord. I'm even sure that they will also make a fuss with King Jean's corpse. If you are shaken and begin to doubt your subjects and people, then they have achieved their greatest purpose - do you want to see the remaining hundred thousand Gilneys people become the minions of the scourge? Think about what you're doing right now! You're stepping into the trap that the Dreadlord has set for you! Jiang Weihan forced his gaze at Liam, and the prince was a little afraid to meet his gaze.
"And you, Lord Hervel," he said, turning his attention to another, "you are becoming a pawn of the Scourge without knowing it. You say that Lordaeron's envoy secretly instructed the two lords to murder your king. He also said that he had quietly landed on the Storm Sea Cliffs the day before yesterday, plotted the conspiracy and left—do you believe in that? Five days ago, there was an outbreak of plague in Gilneth, but we didn't get the news until the next day, and we held a meeting to help Gilneth. Then the Alliance's fleet assembled at full speed, and it took three days to reach the waters of Gilneth as fast as possible. That is, they just arrived yesterday. How could you have seen the envoy the day before yesterday? Think about it with your head, with such an obvious loophole, you never suspected that it was a hoax? ”
Jiang Weihan said in a deep voice: "These things can be confirmed by asking casually. Think about who is invading your homeland and who is going out of their way to help you. Look, look at what you're doing right now? ”
"What are we doing?" Prince Liam was speechless, he had just pressed a minister loyal to Gilneth. What would he do if he did hear that fact from the mouth of Gofrey that he didn't want to believe?
Liam didn't want to think about it.
"Thank you for the reminder, Führer. Your help will always be remembered! ”
"I'm doing my job." Jiang Weihan said a lot of heavy words, and his heart was much more comfortable. As the old saying goes, "the authorities are obsessed", and the three people in front of him are like this. He was worried that if he didn't arrive in time, God knows what chaos would happen?
Maybe Liam will kill Ashbury, and even Walden and Vincent, who are "in the same boat", and then break with the Alliance?
Fortunately, nothing happened, and he came in time.
Gofrey gestured to Prince Liam with his eyes, and he said with some reluctance, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency. I was a little rude just now. ”
"Take my word for it, and think about the current state of Gilneth and your people before making any decisions." Jiang Weihan gave advice, "The alliance's rescue efforts will gradually increase, and the troops we have assembled on the northern front will also start attacking soon. Please don't give the Scourge a chance! ”
After a warning, Jiang Weihan said goodbye to them. The spirit travel consumes a lot, and he can't stay outside for a long time in such a state.
After he disappeared, Liam looked at the two in front of him, his eyes complicated. On the one hand, he realizes that his father may indeed have died in the assassination of his courtiers, and on the other hand, he also understands that this is likely to be a conspiracy of natural disasters.
Lord Gofrey in front of him concealed him, Lord Hervel was confused, Walden and Ashbury were almost directly involved in the murder, and the remaining General Crowley had a very bad relationship with Jean before. He had heard the two of them arguing, and knew that his father had even vowed to let Darius come back and lick his boots.
At this moment, Liam found out that the huge Gilneth couldn't find a few trustworthy people!
He didn't want to greet the two of them, and walked back to the camp on his own. The thought that a natural disaster might desecrate his father's corpse, or even that he might face his father back from the dead, made him feel distraught and didn't know what to do.
——
It's not just Prince Liam who is distressed. On the other side of the Endless Sea, Planck, the "Plague of the Seas", shouted angrily: "I don't believe in this evil!" Raise our sails too! I can't catch up if I don't believe it! ”
"But the other ships won't be able to keep up with us, Captain, are we really going to chase the evil island ahead? I don't think it's good......" Planck's first mate looked worried. Once the Abyss has raised all its sails, its speed will increase dramatically, and the other ships will not be able to keep up anyway.
"The sea hides countless secrets, and that's the joy of sailing!" He laughed and ordered the fleet to speed up, "Listen to me, don't you want to see why that island can move?" As a pirate, you must always be curious, and you must dare to explore the unknown! ”
In the distance, as far as they could see, there was a piece of land. Yesterday afternoon the lookout observed the island for the first time. It is not uncommon to encounter some islands on the way to sail, and sometimes there are not enough supplies, and you can get some things and fresh water from these islands.
After the lookout's report, Planck casually ordered him to lean over and see if he could catch some game. After a month on the boat, the beak is about to fade out of the bird. The daily meat is dried meat, dried fish and ham sausage, and people have long been tired of eating it.
They kept heading towards the island, but the distance between the two had not narrowed at all—could the island still run away on its own?
Planck heard the crew's report and immediately ran out of the cabin and pulled out his binoculars to look. Then he confirmed, it was an island that moved.
But until nightfall, they still couldn't catch up with the island. If it weren't for the never-resting Shadow of War Hecarim to keep up, they might have lost their target at night.
As soon as he gave the order, the sailors began to raise the side sails on time. But then the Minotaur came out of the cabin and shouted, "Don't raise the sail!" ”
The first mate and the sailors looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to.
Planck and Alista's eyes widened.
"Listen to me! I'm the captain! Planck turned his head and ordered the first mate.
"Listen to me! I'm your boss! Alista reached out and pressed Planck's shoulder, "Don't you want to deny it?" ”
"I ...... I! Planck remembered why he was so confused that he wanted to drink with this guy.
"What a dog I messed with!" Liberated from the bull's oppression, Planck took off his pirate hat and pinched it fiercely, cursing the nosy bull a thousand times in his heart
