Chapter 446: Laws
On Saturday night, on a small island outside the port city of Rolls on the east coast of Vrsac.
Abner and Lady Greed, in the form of "Professor", stand on the island's private dock, as if waiting for something.
Behind them, dozens of "containers" were neatly stacked, containing various ores and supplies needed by Morning Star City.
It took more than a week for Csenia, the Countess of Rolls, to collect and pile them up.
As for the "container" itself, this is actually the credit of Lao Huang, who proposed this method of transporting goods more than 100 years ago, but it was first only used on trains, and in recent years, it was only used for sea transportation after the popularization of steam-powered ships.
Looking at his watch, he saw that there were still ten minutes left in the agreed time with the "Star Queen", so Abner and Ksenia chatted.
"It's not easy for you to collect these things, is it? How much money Horn spent, I'll go back and reimburse you." Abner asked with a smile.
"It's not easy, after all, it takes a lot of people to get to the island, and if it weren't for me as a 'manipulator,' I'm afraid it would be difficult to do it." Miss "Greedy" first emphasized the difficulty, then glanced at Abner, and then said, "But even if the reimbursement is over, I am not short of this money......
"And what do you want?" Abner heard the unfinished meaning of her words and asked directly.
"Her Majesty invites all the great nobles of the Empire to hold a special ball at the 'Ormir Palace' next Thursday evening...... It seems that something important is being announced.
"And I lack a male partner, and I want you to take on that role." When Ksenia said this, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he blinked, "Many nobles know that I have raised a little white face of 'Mother Earth Goddess, the Church' in Indogang, can't I not live up to my name?"
Every king or emperor in the Northern Continent is bound by the three major contracts of the Church of the Seven Gods, up to Sequence 5, while the Church of War has a relatively simple and crude supervision of the Einhorn family of the Vorsack royal family, and they require every emperor of the empire to be an empress.
In this way, as long as the emperor does not suddenly become a man, it means that the Einhorn family is still sticking to the contract.
However, Abner didn't care about the Empress's question, and he frowned and repeated the time of the ball: "Next Thursday night?"
"Yes...... What's wrong?" Ksenia asked, puzzled.
Next Thursday, October 13, is the day of the original Riversak airship raid on Beckland...... The Einhorn royal family summoned the big nobles to a ball at this time, I'm afraid they want to announce the start of the war, right?
Thinking of this, Abner glanced at Miss "Greedy", who was still puzzled, and said to himself: It seems that the Countess of Rolls has long been marginalized...... Yes, the details of her family are not clear to most people, but the Einhorn family must know it, so it is naturally impossible to regard it as a real "own person".
"Nothing...... I guess Her Majesty the Empress is so solemn, I'm afraid that she will announce a piece of news that will shake the continent." Abner replied meaningfully, then nodded after a moment's thought, and continued, "I granted this request."
Of course, he wouldn't go to the "Ormir Palace" in person, but now with the assistance of the "Insight Robe" that he just started, it is not difficult to pinch out his own "personality clone". ….
Ksenia wanted to ask any more questions, but a huge sailboat slowly appeared on the sea level outside the docks.
Behind this sailboat, there were more than a dozen normal-sized boats, all heading towards the dock at great speed.
As the fleet drew closer, the flag became clearer, and the crimson but faint moonlight made Abner and Ksenia see ten white stars of the same size, surrounded by an indifferent eye without eyelashes.
"Future!
"Queen of the Stars!
"It turns out that the 'friend' you found to deliver this batch of supplies is the newborn king of the sea!"
Seeing this, Ksenia couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and at the same time used his ability to "hypnotize" his own servants and guards on the island, making them completely ignore the visit of the pirate king.
Again
For more than ten seconds, when the clock tower on the island emitted a melodious and ethereal bell, the time was exactly 10 o'clock.
At this time, the fleet led by the Future also stopped, and Gadelia, dressed in black classical robes, appeared on the bow of the ship at some point, her clothes were still covered with different symbols and magical symbols, but it felt a little more "mysterious".
In the crimson moonlight, Gadelia's face suddenly shone brightly, and a little bright starlight fell brightly, condensing into a transparent long bridge.
The long bridge continued to stretch forward and fell to the pier.
Immediately afterward, the new pirate king walked smoothly onto the star-condensed long bridge, and soon came to the side of Abner and the others.
"Queen of the Stars" Gardelia looked at Ksenia, the Countess of Law, with dark black and purple eyes, and nodded at it before looking at the containers piled up on the dock and asked, "Everything is here?"
"This is just the first batch, and I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to run after that." Abner shook his head.
If nothing else, the war will break out next week, and it will not be so easy to send supplies like this, so we have to take advantage of the current peacetime to stock up on "Morning Star City".
"It's a trifle...... And I've taken your pay." A few nights before, Gardelia had listened to Abner's story of "finding light in the darkness" and had developed several "mystical reappearance" spells based on it, but the results seemed to be worse than she expected.
- This is a story she is sure she has never heard of, and it must be quite secretive.
At this time, Abner looked at the fleet brought by Gardelia, and asked knowingly, "Your crew won't leak what happened here in Ksenia, will they?"
The "Star Queen" just slapped the Viscosm in the face of the Vorsack Navy, and it would be very troublesome to let people know that the Countess of Rolls was in collusion with her.
"I only brought the officers of the Future, and the sailors of the other ships have already taken a holiday and have not followed." As she spoke, Gardelia gestured to the deck of the Future.
Jane Grant, who had been standing on the deck, saw it and immediately gave the order in the "language of the dead", and then countless undead and dead bodies walked out of the ships or floated out, heading towards the containers.
As a descendant of the "Archon of Death" and wearing the "Ring of Death", Jane can drive far more undead than normal Sequence 5 after being promoted to "Gatekeeper".
However, she did not recognize Abner on the dock, after all, the latter appeared as a "professor", not only in appearance, but also in the breath of Abner.
The name is back quickly
