Chapter 139: How to Rob the Bride
What the scale of the Bron's First Fleet, even with an incompetent captain like Luca, does not need to be explained by anyone else at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It's not that he suddenly became more knowledgeable, but in the past two months, in order to explore that ruin, the Silent Death has been operating in the territorial waters of the Brohn Empire almost all the time, and Luka's nerves have been tense, and he has remembered a lot of information about the size of the other party's fleet and naval strength in this state.
"It seems a bit difficult to snatch the bride directly......" Lukka whispered.
He looked at the invitation card in his hand over and over again, read the names on it, and suddenly found something:
Louis Cufflin, William Cufflin...... Why do you feel so familiar?"
"Of course it sounds familiar, you saw another Caflin last year. Ollie said.
"Yes, why don't I remember anything?" Lukka scratched his head, indeed, he was completely indifferent to anything other than magic, especially faces and names. Except, of course, those who owe him money.
Crete has a much better memory than he does: "At last year's Iceberg Carnival, the 'honored guest' of the Black Sail pirates who were going to poison Layton Harbor was Sean Kaflin. ā
"Am I the one who fooled you away?, these people are a family?" Lukka seemed to remember, but he couldn't sketch out the other person's appearance in his head.
Ollie nodded: "Yes, Louis Caflin has three sons, and this William Cafflin is the second on the invitation, and the Sean Cufflin I saw last time is the youngest." ā
"It's a mess, let me take care of it. "Lukka is a bit troubled by these aristocratic connections.
"What do you care about? Anyway, it doesn't sound like a good thing, and if you rob someone, you can't just leave?" Thea said nonchalantly.
Lukka smiled and didn't contradict her. Yinlong is at an age where she doesn't know the height of the sky, and in her opinion, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a single lightning bolt, and if there is, then another one. After all, she had come down from the island and had never seen a real naval battle, and she didn't know that even the body of a silver dragon would look small in front of a large number of strong ships and cannons.
The others have confronted five battleships head-on, Lukka is not blindly pessimistic, even in the face of the seven battleship formations of the First Fleet of the Brohn Empire, even if he can't win, he is sure that he will retreat in front of them with the Silent Death, but if he wants to forcibly bring out a person in full view, this is not just a few shells can solve the problem.
As if thinking of Luca, Ollie said, "If there is a fight at the port, we can't guarantee that Kate will be brought out." ā
"Who's Kate?" Lukka forgot again the name he had just pronounced.
"Miss Caterina Stewart, we're going to snatch the bride. Ollie continued, "William, as the second son of Earl Carflin, had no way of inheriting the title, so his father, Louie, sent him to the navy in search of a way out. If this wedding goes well, he will be able to rightfully obtain the Duke title and domain of the Stewart family. ā
"Which ...... The Duke is a lot older than the Count, isn't he?" Lukka made no secret of his lack of trying.
"Yes, two levels off. Ollie replied.
"And who is this Baron Gerard Sanders?" Luca asked, pointing to the name on the invitation.
"He was the cousin of Count Louis Cufflin. Ollie couldn't help but wrinkle her nose when she thought of this man, obviously unable to control her disgust.
"Shall we take this invitation, pretend to be this person, and sneak the bride out, and soon?" said Luca.
The envelope of this invitation did not have the "ready to deliver" stamp of Sunset Express at all, indicating that it had not yet entered Sunset Express's system before it was intercepted by the spies of the June Alliance. If it was already in the hands of Sunset Express, it would be impossible for Taylor to get it no matter what move he used.
This means that the recipient of this invitation, Baron Sanders, should not have known that such a wedding was held. Even if you do, you won't know when and where.
Shut up and flew off his shoulder to the table, stared at the invitation and said, "Idiot, don't say you haven't seen this person, and even if you do, there's no magic that can make you look exactly like him!"
"Eh, don't you have this magic? I thought it would be easy, I even made the opal ring for the disguise technique!" Lukka said in surprise.
"What's so hard about being an irrelevant appearance, but if you want to imitate a person who has existed before, as long as there is a slight deviation, the effect will be a completely different person, and this is not something that can be done by magic alone!" Shut up said.
"Is that something that can be done by means other than magic?" Lukka knew all about how to shut up.
Shut up and snorted: "The potion can be done, do you still plan to learn it from scratch? Even if you want to learn, do you have those materials here?"
"Surely not?" Lukka was not dead.
"No!" shut up.
Waiting for the two of them to finish arguing, Ollie suddenly said, "Actually, it's not impossible. ā
Everyone's eyes turned, and she explained: "This invitation is usually verified by the guards at the door when you enter. Those guards don't necessarily know what the people invited look like, they only recognize people. ā
"Even so, there are so many of us, who will go with just one invitation?" asked Nora, who finally ate the large jar of dried squid, and elegantly wiped her hands with a handkerchief.
A smile appeared on Luca's face: "This is easy to do, I just thought of a particularly suitable magic, I can learn it in a day at most!"
The method of snatching the bride was decided, and everyone left, leaving only Lukka and Shut Up in the captain's room, ready to practice the spell that was "particularly suitable".
A day later, though, Lukka left the Spirit Sky in frustration, barely moving at all in the progress of his new spells. It's not that he's misestimating the difficulty of the spell, and in this regard, Lukka's judgment is very accurate. It's just that he underestimated the power of the Amethyst Staff.
The staff didn't show much power when it was in hand, and now that it was gone, Lukka suddenly realized that his move to condense the flow of magic was so difficult.
He retrieved the magic map from the bottom of the cabinet that had been idle for a long time, opened it and spread it on the table. According to Shut Up, a powerful source of mana "maybe" could repair the staff.
The point of light was still there, but at some point it had shifted from the Imperial territory to Tata Island, the former home port of the Black Sails Group.
