Chapter 17 Mutual Use
On the turquoise sea from Gaul to Celtic, a neat, beautiful, light boat glides in the light mist of dusk. It moved quickly and smoothly at the same time, leaving a glowing trail on the surface of the water wherever it passed.
White droplets were broken under the mast of the bow of the ship, and directly above, a beautiful noblewoman was silently staring at the sea with her hands on the guardrail. She wore a short black off-the-shoulder skirt, her body was plump and moving, and the skin of her two bare arms was as white as cream, exuding a soft luster.
The lady's long hair is coiled high, with a pair of blue gemstone earrings, and her facial features have a kind of sculptural beauty, and her temperament is elegant and luxurious, which is unforgettable.
Just as she was looking at the sea, a cashmere coat was put on the noblewoman's body, and a deep voice came from behind:
"Miss Lilith, as your protector, it is necessary for me to remind you that Celtic has just melted snow. β
"Mr. Paddy, you are such a considerate gentleman. Lilith turned her head and smiled like a flower.
Behind her, a middle-aged knight in a Celtic black robe with a calm face bowed slightly, took three steps back, and said expressionlessly:
"Yes, as long as you cooperate, I am a meticulous gentleman, but if you dare to put your unrealistic delusions into action, I am the devil who asks for my life. β
"Don't worry, all I have to do is take back the crown of the Pandoragon family, that's all. Mrs. Candied covered her red lips with the back of her hand, and smiled gracefully, but there was a trace of bitter hatred in the depths of her eyes.
She's down to where she is now, and it's all the fault of that Celtic governor!
That stupid and stubborn Corsican fisherman, who rejected the best of both worlds. As a result, he is now a puppet of the Rossevians. Monitored around the clock by a Knight of Origin.
But there's still a chance...... Sooner or later, this knight who spies on her will leave. When the time comes, he only needs to control the Celtic governor, and he can still become the veritable queen of the Highland Kingdom.
β......β
Lilith chuckled and turned her head back to the sea, her pupils reflecting the glow of the fiery sunset, and the smile on her face became sweeter.
......
The ships gradually approached the harbor ahead.
In the distance, you can see snow floating on the shore, green coconut palm-like forests, and some white seabirds landing on the melting snow. The long, pointed beak pecked in the dirt from time to time.
The approach of the boat startled a field of white seabirds, and Lilith and Paddy were surprised to notice that one of the albatross had no feathers on its buttocks.
The flapping of wings and the quacking of white seabirds mingled with a jumbled mess.
Directly in front of the dock, a black-haired knight dressed in the governor's uniform waited for the ship to dock, and at the same time noticed Lilith and Paddy at the bow.
"Welcome!"
After landing, the palms of the two Origin Knights were first clasped together, and then. Yalei walked up to Mrs. Candied and held up the slender hand that the other party had handed him. Lips lightly:
"See you again, Miss Lilith. β
"I've been looking forward to seeing you again, Lord Governor. Lilith looked at him with a smile, her face smiling like a flower, and her eyes were indeed full of cold light.
The black-haired knight put down the noblewoman's slender hand, and there was no other party in his eyes, and said to Paddy behind her, "This is not a place to talk, please come with me." β
"Be at your disposal. The latter smiled slightly.
......
Inside the Temporary Office.
After Bruno made a cup of hot tea for each of the three of them, he silently pushed the door open and stood guard outside.
"Your Excellency the Governor, can you explain the reasons for arranging for Miss Lilith to enter the Highlands in plain language that I can understand?" asked Paddy, sipping on hot tea and furrowing his brow.
"The Highland Kingdom is receiving large-scale aid from the Freedom Alliance, and you've probably heard about it. The black-haired knight set aside the cup in his hand and asked rhetorically.
"Yes. β
"After all, the Celtic Governor's Palace is newly established, the administrative functions are not perfect, and the Monster Auxiliary Army and the Celtic New Army are just taking shape, so I need some time to stabilize the situation. β
"So, you need Miss Lilith to disrupt the Highlands and buy you time. Paddy nodded, a convincing expression.
"My duty is to protect Gaul on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, which is home to many of the properties of the Sequoia Consortium. Jarley glanced at Mrs. Candied and said lightly:
"Miss Lilith, you don't want your property to suffer, do you?"
"Of course. β
The lady nodded happily as she looked around at the shabby furnishings in the room, and a disdainful smile gradually curled into the corners of her lips.
"I get that. β
Paddy clasped his palms together and lowered his voice: "Regarding the details, do you want Lilith to go to the Highland Kingdom to directly raise the banner of restoration, or do you secretly accumulate strength first?"
"Of course it's the latter, and I don't want to kill you and Miss Lilith. β
The black-haired knight looked at the other party and said calmly:
"You only need to make a little noise and involve them when the Highland Kingdom makes a move against the Celtic Governor's Palace, and that is enough. β
"Pardon me for interjecting, as a businessman, I don't mind being taken advantage of, but everything has to be priced. β
Lilith squinted at them, the pair of blue gemstone earrings swaying gently on the side of her cheeks: "Crown of the Highland Kingdom, this is the compensation that your emperor promised me." β
"If you have the chance, of course I support you to become the queen of the Highland Kingdom. Yalei said sincerely.
"As long as you keep to yourself, the Highland Kingdom will be yours sooner or later. β
Paddy glanced at her coldly, stood up and walked over to the black-haired knight, and once again stretched out his palm:
"Then, everything will be done according to your plan, and Miss Lilith and I will infiltrate the Highland Kingdom, gather strength, and wait for the opportunity to help the Doge's Mansion share the pressure. β
"Thank you very much. β
The black-haired knight clenched his big hand and said with a smile on his face.
......
At this moment, Kenneth, who had successfully advanced to the rank of legendary Rune warrior, once again walked towards the sword embedded in the stone, held the hilt of the sword with both hands in the expectant eyes of the old king, and pulled it up hard.
Clickββ!
The rock gradually cracked a little crack, and as the prince gradually strengthened his soul power, the entire sword gradually rose in tremors, and the snow-bright blade slowly cut through the rock, flashing with golden brilliance.
It's going to be successful!
King Gary's face was hard to hide his excitement, the century-old wish of the entire kingdom was finally fulfilled in the hands of his son! )
