Chapter 144: Sheo with a Smooth Brain (1/2)
The Canaan Moore diplomatic ship Siren is a giant Full Moon-class super-large ship with a displacement of more than 60,000 tons, which was the specification of the flagship class of the Canaan Moore naval fleet at that time.
In fact, it does have quite a bit of armament, enough to deal with all the non-Titan monsters in the waters around the continent of Terra.
And its mission is also quite important - the Siren will often travel to key strategic locations such as Whalesong Cliff or Far Sword Harbor to assist these permanently neutral areas in the fight against the onslaught of the Warcraft cluster, and it will also need to evacuate some key Canaan Moore personnel in a critical moment.
Just like this time, when the alchemy master Gravi Scarlet returned to his hometown, the Canaan Moore government used this big ship, and also picked up many officials and businessmen who exchanged with each other.
Ian is one of those 'passing' pick-ups. Of course, it wasn't so incidental, at least the Sirens would stop at Nauman City, and it was indeed only for Ian alone.
The banquet hall in the middle cabin of the Siren was brightly lit, and the spacious vaulted hall did not look like a ship at all, but was located in the interior of some of the Canaan Moorish court, where golden lights and staggered toasted figures cast shadows on the red carpet, melodious music filled the hall, and elegant elven strings were always the most popular music for such occasions.
There is no doubt that it is a place for leisurely pleasures, and the journey on a boat is neither long nor short, and people spend most of their time here.
"This place is too dangerous."
But Ian, with a completely different mind than most of the people present, walked slowly into the hall.
He smiled and declined the guidance of the attendants, and walked himself to the tea break at the back of the left side of the hall.
At this moment, the young man was guessing in his heart about the origin of those lurking killers, as well as their combat effectiveness: "The killer who disguised himself as the deputy captain of the fleet knight should be one of the factions of the Elven Council behind him, and he can arrange his killer to this position, obviously a person at a high level who does not want Master Gravi to come back." ”
"The second killer, the guard of the Purple Tile Chamber of Commerce, should be from the Heavenly Palace. Although he is a people of iron and his disguise is perfect, the essentia structure of the bloodline is obviously derived from the demonic beasts of the Heavenly Royal Court - fortunately, Adbert told me that the details of the essentia structure of demonic beasts are different in various places in Terra, and I deliberately recorded these differences with a silver chip, otherwise there would be no way to tell the difference. ”
"As for the killer disguised as an acolyte, he's a psyker. This is the handiwork of the Gnosis Academy, he should be the success story of the Gnosis Academy's artificial psyker program, he was trained to be a killer, he should have quietly replaced the original attendant, it's really amazing, if it weren't for me, even the third energy level would be difficult to find. ”
"In addition, there are no less than double-digit spies in this hall...... Some of them are still coming for me, they should know my talents, and know my relationship with Anfa, Canaan Moore and the Heavenly Court spies, the former probably wants to know the communication and plan between me and Anfa, while the latter is a little murderous towards me. ”
Ian easily saw through the intricacies of the Siren's situation, and was able to figure out the forces behind those with evil intentions.
All this was not difficult for the Prophet.
Yes, 'on a heavily guarded diplomatic ship, dance with spy killers from all sides, guess each other's true identities, obstruct each other's plans, and fight openly and secretly against the backdrop of the invasion of demonic beasts, and finally get the research materials in the hands of the old alchemy master, and throw the pot on the head of the Gnostic Academy or the Heavenly King'......
Such a script plot is indeed good.
But for a white-haired alchemy genius who can see through the truth at a glance, looks like a teenager, but has a mature soul, the detective game is a bit too simple.
He had a more aggressive plan.
Just need ...... A little help from a companion.
"Theo, how do you feel about the elf pastry?"
Coming to the side of the red-haired Miss Dragon Lady, Ian didn't sit down, but just patted the other person on the shoulder.
And Xio, who had long known about Ian's arrival, but was concentrating on tasting the food in front of him, was not surprised at all.
The dragon girl, who had a face similar to Ian's, almost like a brother and sister, gracefully raised her hand, wiped her mouth with a brocade scarf, and then looked at Ian with sparkling eyes and whispered, "It's delicious!" ”
The coffee break is a small table for two or three people, with a maximum of four seats, and next to the passage leading to the onboard theater, which is a good place for private communication after formal communication, and there are all kinds of exquisite pastries provided by the best pastry chefs in Canaan Moore, enough to satisfy anyone's need for rest, and many noble ladies are chatting here with a pair of friends.
However, as with other important and lavish social occasions in Terra, where the best chefs are located, people don't necessarily want to taste the food, but focus more on communicating with other people.
That's a pity.
And today, Xi'ou obviously wants to redeem the regret that 'food is not valued'!
The table in front of Miss Dragon Lady was padded with light brown silk cloth, and on top of the silk cloth were plates containing cakes, mousse, chocolate shortbread, fried cakes, fruit core cakes, sweet fish sashimi, and other Canaanmore and other famous pastries or sweets.
But in reality, Sheo has already solved most of it.
Just as she was talking to Ian, her left hand instinctively wiping her mouth with a brocade towel, Miss Dragon Girl's right hand was still lightly pinching a chocolate crispy ball with her fingertips, and it was sent into her mouth very smoothly - inside the crispy ball was a flowing core with a strong milky flavor, and the two different fragrances were combined together, but they merged and bloomed in the mouth, and the heat that had just been done and not completely cooled was simply activating the taste buds on the tongue, bringing people the most extreme sweet enjoyment.
"Hmm~" Xi'o closed his eyes slightly and nodded movingly: "Anfa really didn't lie to me!" 'Multi-Scale Chocolate Milk Balls' is truly a must! Oh my God, the crispy shell, the slices of nuts that are as thin as scales on the inner wall, and the mellow secret condensed milk inside...... Perfect taste and sweetness! ”
She even picked out another 'multi-scaled chocolate milk ball' and put it in her mouth, and Ian was a little helpless with a satisfied expression, so he could only smile wryly and shake his head: "Really, I forgot that you have considerable tasting skills and interest in food." ”
This kind of elegant and straightforward action is really quite special, causing some of the noble ladies around to laugh without malice - they have been paying attention to Xi'o, the lovely little dragon girl, eating snacks since just now, although Xi'o eats quickly and abundantly, but the demeanor is elegant, obviously the tutor is very good, and she can eat so much body without change, which is enough to prove that she is a sublimator.
The sublimator does not need to follow the etiquette of ordinary people, the etiquette is set by them, as long as it is not too excessive, anything can be considered 'decent'.
What's more, such a cute little girl is cute in everything.
Ian is hard to judge. Because Theo uses his face model, it would be weird to say cute or something...... Well, it's not surprising, he was really cute when he was a kid.
It's him!
And it's not a big problem, the more the red-haired Xio makes an impression now, the more convenient it will be for Ian to make Xio turn into gray hair and disguise himself as a stand-in.
For this reason, before leaving, Xiou also deliberately imitated the details of Ian's usual actions. Of course, there is no need to learn speech and manners, with Theo's intelligence, plus he is not a prophet, it is impossible to imitate Ian's speaking habits, and speaking will inevitably be discovered, so Ian will not let Theo let him imitate himself when he needs to speak himself.
Theo and the King of the Mountain will both participate in this exploration of the Xenomorph Academy, and Theo's body and the King of the Mountain set off together in the name of Dragon Island, while the clone of the Dragon Lady Theo acted with Ian and went to Canaan Moore as a member of the Dragon Cult.
For Theo, it's a great opportunity to taste the food, and for Ian, he's going to have to set the stage for many of the impressions and actions to come.
"Do you need me to do anything?"
After eating the third chocolate ball, Theo looked at Ian with a bit of an afterthought.
The white-haired alchemist had been attending the banquet before, but after chatting with a few elven alchemists for a while, he left the hall under the pretext that he wanted to blow the wind - Theo knew that Ian must have gone to observe the situation, but she didn't care about the outcome.
Anyway, whatever action comes next, Ian will tell her, and she doesn't have to think about it at all!
The brain becomes smoother .jpg
[Now there is a large group of demonic beasts approaching outside, most likely it was induced by the Gnosis Academy, but the situation is a little wrong, there are too many demonic beasts coming over, and it will arrive at the warning circle in about ten minutes]
Sure enough, Ian is now using psionic energy to explain the task: [I need your help to intimidate those demonic beasts so that they don't approach for a short time...... Wait until I say yes, then let them attack, and if you have the spare energy, help see why there are so many]
[No problem, but will there be a monster attacking the Siren?] Without a third-level beastmaster, no matter how many demonic beasts there are, they will be solved by this big ship.]
Theo blinked, signaling that she understood Ian's instructions, and she didn't even bother to ask why Ian did this: [No matter so much, is there anything else that needs my cooperation?] 】
[Look at the Gnosis killer over there and the spy team behind him, don't give them a chance to destroy the master's information, I'm very interested in his research]
Ian was drinking tea and chatting with Theo on the surface, and when outsiders looked at it, they probably thought it was a normal communication between the brother and sister, but the appearance of the two siblings was too eye-catching: [Also, Theo, pay attention to the movement over there in Storage Warehouse No. 17...... There's something quite unusual in there, so if a suspicious person approaches, just tell me.]
【Piece of cake】
Theo replied confidently, "My main dragon soul is on this body, and this little thing can still be done! 】
