Chapter 348: Get on board
Albert can foresee that if the information sent back by the twenty-three neutral countries is true, then the death of Lilith's father may set off a violent turmoil between the neutral countries, and the force that has always connected the twenty-three neutral countries is the Lilith Chamber of Commerce, and the force that is most likely to collapse from the inside is probably also the Lilith Chamber of Commerce.
Lilith's prestige within the guild is limited, and the generals under the former guild are all notorious neutral countries, and they may not easily obey the command of a little girl.
Telling Lin Qiu about this was also due to Albert's political considerations.
If Lilith can't rectify the disheartened Chamber of Commerce during this trip, I'm afraid that the first to go to war is neither Herudia nor the Byron Empire, but the Twenty-Three Neutral Countries themselves, and judging from the current situation, the last ancestor-level monster may also fall into the hands of the Chaos Sect, which means ......
Perhaps he could already prepare for war.
"The registration form at the North Docks indicates that the Lilith Chamber of Commerce's ship will be sailing out of port tonight, and this should be your last chance. ”
With that, Albert suddenly turned to the nobles in the banquet hall and announced loudly, "The canonization ceremony has been completed, and the recent exploits of Tyre-Cyrus are obvious to all, and from now on he will be a member of the Round Table Council!"
A round of applause followed.
It's just that after hearing the news, Lin Qiu had already experienced the warm atmosphere of the banquet flawlessly, he squeezed a way out of the crowd surrounding him, and walked out of the door alone. Alyssa and Phoenix, who had witnessed the unusual scene, immediately followed, and when they saw that there was no one around, Alyssa asked, "What did the sixth say to you?"
"His informant sent back information that Lilith's father appeared to have been killed on the border of the neutrals, and that her ship would be heading for the twenty-three neutrals overnight. ”
"Are you going to follow?" Alyssa saw Lin Qiu's plan at a glance.
From time to time, there was information about neutrals in the church, and although the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce was nominally handed over to Lilith, everyone knew that her father was still the actual ruler. The purpose of this was simply to allow him to retire from the foreground so that he could devote all his energy to finding the last Ancestor-level monster.
However, the elder's tricks can only deceive ordinary people, and the Senate and the church headquarters have never ignored this neutral magnate.
The news is unbelievable.
You must know that the Lilith Chamber of Commerce has a long history, and unlike the Musa Consortium, its strength at the military level is much higher than that of the other party, and Lilith's father, a legendary figure who has gone through the Hundred Years War, such a death is too inexplicable for a legendary person.
"Well, Lilith probably didn't want us to get involved in this way. ”
As he walked out of the royal city, Lin Qiu couldn't help but think of an episode between him and Phoenix before heading to Leorea. A Templar named Jim had traveled from afar, and he had mentioned Lilith's father's opponent, the Chaos Cult. Jim had a bad premonition before the war, and perhaps he had a vague foreknowledge of the day at that time.
But if the opponent was really the Chaos Sect, he couldn't back down.
In particular, he must not let the Chaos Sect eat away at his friends step by step, if even Lilith's father is planted in the hands of the Chaos Sect, with Lilith's ability alone, it will be in vain to do anything. This trip is a life and death for her, not to mention whether the Chamber of Commerce itself will stage a few dramas for power after losing the head of state.
"I'm going to get on that ship first. Lin Qiu said his plan.
"I'll go too. ”
Alyssa and Phoenix spoke almost in unison, and then Alyssa seemed to remember some bad memory, her face turned cold, and she threatened: "However, if you dare to take me away before the decisive battle, I will not spare you!"
"Tell me how we're going to get on that ship, right?" Phoenix looked excited.
Sneaking in, adventuring and the like is much more fun than staying in the Imperial Capital!
"The concrete plan is the ......"
A few hours later, the "Waves" was on board.
It was getting dark, and the sailors were busy running back and forth, and everyone had a solemn look on their faces, for they knew that the direction of the ship was definitely not a good place, and that they would be greeted by a hellish journey. After a series of transformations, the "Waves" has completely lost the shadow of the past, it has been transformed from an old dhow to its current appearance - four giant power crystals are set up at the stern, and when fully activated, it is more than ten times faster than a normal dhow, and in order to defend against pirates, the Chamber of Commerce has equipped the ship with a harpoon launcher, an extremely advanced weapon that can scuttle enemy ships in an instant.
The only thing that hasn't changed is that the people who sail the ship are still old Jack and his sailors.
In the captain's room, Old Jack had a complicated expression.
This was his long-lost trip to the imperial capital, but what he brought back from the Twenty-Three Neutral States was not good news. Although the Chamber of Commerce has not yet finalized the news of the death of the old president, according to the results of the on-site investigation, it seems that it has been eight or nine years old, and the senior management of the Chamber of Commerce has to temporarily decide to urgently summon the eldest lady back.
After all, once the old guild really encounters an accident, Lilith is the only one who has the right to command.
But......
Not everyone thought so, and Old Jack found that some people were already ready to move before the news of the Elder's death was confirmed.
It made him even more regretful that he couldn't see Lin Qiu when he came back this time, if that kid was here, maybe he would be able to put forward a lot of constructive suggestions...... Jack advised the eldest lady to seek Lin Qiu's help more than once, but the stubborn eldest lady ordered everyone not to go to Lin Qiu privately.
The signal from the dock came from outside, it was the signal before sailing, and the towering lighthouse had lit the way ahead for them.
As soon as he got up, there was a hint of coldness behind him, and a silver dangling blade pressed against his neck. The coldness of the blade made him hairy, and he saw Old Jack skillfully rush forward and fall to the ground, shouting loudly: "The key to the treasure chest is in my drawer, I have stored all my family there, and now those treasures are yours, good man spare his life!"
The last "good man spares his life" is particularly quintessential, as if it has been rehearsed countless times in advance.
This picture made Lin Qiu and the others stunned.
He just wanted to shout hello to Old Jack in this prank-up way.
"Poof, hahaha, this old man is so interesting!" Phoenix couldn't hold back for a moment and laughed out loud.
Alyssa was helpless to hold her forehead - she should have thought that Lin Qiu had not been at ease since she slipped on the boat from the beginning, and no matter how old Jack had been put there for a long time, what if she was scared out of three long and two short?
Unexpectedly, Old Jack then shocked the three of them with his amazing moves, he quickly rolled forward, and took out a scimitar from under his bed: "Ha! I didn't expect it, you have found the wrong opponent, my old Jack has killed more than 100 ......."
Old Jack's words came to an abrupt end, and when he saw Lin Qiu, he bit his tongue in shock.
