Chapter 160: The Storm is Coming
For the first few days after the pink accident caused by the effect of the illusion, Ruiko avoided Donner, intentionally or unintentionally.
At the same time, outside of the Bell Institute, the Princh family has not heard from Young Master Pompeii for many days.
Pompeii's disappearance will cause a huge storm to sweep through the continent of Caios, and at this moment, the center of the storm, which is the last place where he appeared, the city of Nice, is still calm.
Only those with the most sensitive sense of smell can detect the slightest abnormality. Among them, of course, is Pujork.
Downer had asked about Puyok's injury, and after learning that he was not seriously injured, he did not visit the Chamber of Commerce.
He did this precisely to avoid being involved in Pompeii's disappearance. Pujok instructed Irina and Morn to keep Donner secret, probably because he was afraid that he would be involved in the conflict between the two families.
On this day at the end of December, Puyok visited the Bell Institute for the first time after recovering from injury.
He hasn't been here since the institute was functioning normally. At this time, he couldn't help but be amazed to see so many people working together in a way that he had never heard of.
While avoiding the others, he asked Donner how Pino had returned.
"Someone sent him back that night, and I heard from Irina that the man was wearing a dark green robe...... Could it be someone from the Princh family?"
Downer knew that Princh had probably already gotten the same answer from Irina, and he had just added another inference from Irina's description.
Sure enough, Princh nodded and said, "I listened to Irina's description." That man seemed to be a mage beside Young Master Pompeii, how could he send Pino back...... It's weird......"
"What a strange thing...... Donner also pretended not to understand.
"Has the Master heard? Pompeii seems to be missing. ”
"You're talking about this Pompeii. Who is it?"
"Oh, I forgot to explain it to you. He is the second young master of the Princh family. ”
"Most of these aristocratic sons are not serious, maybe they are living happily in some merry nest......" Donner said casually, as if he didn't care about the matter.
"Master Kevin, if Pompeii really goes missing, maybe we will be implicated. Pujok said in a low voice.
"Oh?" said Donner, pretending to be surprised and then suddenly figured it out, "you mean, because of Pinault?"
"Exactly. ”
"Didn't Pinault come back from one of theirs?"
"Well, only our people see. I'm afraid they won't believe it. Pujok shook his head.
"It's a real nuisance...... However, maybe after a while, the young master Pompeii will appear again. ”
"Hopefully ......"
......
Donner is naturally not stupid enough to tell the story and the situation, and God knows if the Medici family will betray him in order to calm the situation.
Even if Pujok heard from Irina about the fact that he had gone out that night, Pino was never sent back by him, and no one saw him kill Pompeii with his own eyes.
It's just that. As Pompeii disappears for longer and longer, the Princh family will surely point the finger at Pinault, and sooner or later this matter will be a problem.
Now at this time, it is up to me to raise it again. Sending Pino away is probably even more suspicious.
Thinking of this, Donner couldn't help but shake his head. My previous arrangement is still not rigorous enough, if you pick a time when there are many people during the day. It would be nice to save Pinault in the image of Master Soran - it would be too risky to do so.
On the deck of the Sprin Magic Mail Ship. Odo, the eldest son of Manuda, the patriarch of the House of Princi and the elder brother of Pompeii, was standing at the bow of the ship, overlooking the port of Beaune.
Otto was in his sixties, dressed in a wizard's robe, with a thin face and little resemblance to Pompeii. In his capacity, the ship seemed too rudimentary, and this was precisely Odo's deliberate arrangement.
Compared to the family's luxurious magic ship, the magic sail mail ship was slightly faster, and his way of doing so reached the ears of his father Manuda, which was a sign of worrying and anxious Pompeii.
In fact, Otto was a little eager to hear about Pompey's death, a brother who thought he was clever and scavenged for business, but in fact caused a lot of trouble for the family, and instead of blaming him, his father had a vague idea of making him his heir.
Not only did Otto dislike Pompey's approach, but he also disagreed with his father's way of doing things, but he didn't dare to say it.
In his view, in just a few hundred years, the family has developed to the current scale, and the internal and external contradictions have accumulated to the point where they must be resolved.
It was precisely because of the completely different ideas that he and Pompeii had always been at odds, and even his father, Manuda Plinz, felt that he was too weak to be useful.
Odo knew very well that if Pompeii did die, it might be good news for him, but for the Princh family, it might turn into a catastrophe.
Whether it is his father Manuda or his younger brother Pompeii, they all want to surpass the Medici family, if it weren't for his single-handedly planned to marry his sister Marlena to the Medici family, maybe the conflict between the two families would have intensified.
However, this time Pompeii's disappearance is faintly pointed at the Medici family. Odo was worried, and his father, in a fit of rage, would form a fire and water with the Medici family.
Eventually, the Spolin slowly approached the harbor, and the sailors jumped onto the dock and tightened the rope on the anchor.
When Otto stepped on the land of the Principality of Ukulele, he did not know what awaited him on his way to Nice.
......
The day after the Spolin arrived in Bona Harbor, a huge magic ship flying the Star Shield flag also docked in the harbor, and it was the Easter that Donner and Rick had ridden that had returned to the Emerald Harbor after several months of repairs.
The next patriarch of the Medici family, Ricke's father, Alex Medici, descended the long gangway, and among the several retinues behind him was none other than the captain of the East, Darkan.
Like the family's former chief of navigation, Puyok, Darkan was removed from his position as captain for the same reason. And he followed Alex to the Principality of Ukulele this time, which was of other use.
That's right, in addition to going to Nice to meet "Kevin Bell", Alex has a more important purpose - to find Ruiko's whereabouts. And Darkan, the original captain of the Easter, was one of the few people who had seen Ricke. (To be continued.) )
