Chapter 68: A backhand is a backstab

"Why are you in such a hurry, people still want to hear stories." The Blade of the Wind complained, but Sauron turned a deaf ear.

Just kidding, he is a young hero who has ambitions in all directions, how can he sink into his parents so casually!

Came to the tavern according to the tips of the fruit seller, because the employees of the Baroque Workshop basically knew that their boss had fallen, and they also knew who the culprit was, so when Sauron revealed his identity, everything became simple and clear, nothing went wrong, and no one dared to come out to be a demon.

Having successfully obtained the information he needed, Zoro headed for his destination with a case of fine wine under the tender welcome of the tavernkeeper.

It was a caravan bound for Albana to do business, and Sauron was able to catch a ride for a small fee.

The scenery along the way is too monotonous, so look elsewhere for now.

In the capital of Alabastan, King Kobra was dealing with a backlog of official duties in his office.

Because of the exposure of Klockdahl's conspiracy, he can be said to have no tea or food, no good sleep, and no steadyness these days, and even the drought related to the people's livelihood that he had been thinking about before was temporarily put aside, if Sauron hadn't solved Klockdahl in time, the hairline would have to be raised a few centimeters higher.

"It turns out that this is the reason why the Baroque Workshop went to loot the treasury of the Drum Kingdom." Looking at the papers in his hand, it dawned on Kobra.

The army he sent out to assist Sauron had basically been reduced to a tool for cleaning up the battlefield and carrying out aftermath work when they arrived in the rainland, although they couldn't help Sauron, but there were still a lot of gains in the follow-up search process.

One of the most important is the dancing powder found in the underground vault of the rain banquet, which has long been banned by the world government, and the Baroque Workshop has stored it in large quantities.

Dancing powder, also known as "rain powder", is a green powder that was invented a long time ago by a country that does not rain, and the origin of the name is to hope that the people will be able to dance happily when it rains.

When burned, dancing powder produces a mist of smoke that floats in the air, creating so-called "artificial rain", but once the powder is used, there will be drought in neighboring countries downwind.

As a result, wars broke out between countries, and the world government banned the manufacture and possession of dancing powder, but unfortunately there are always people who are crazy to test the edge of the law for profit, and do not hesitate to take huge risks to make and sell dancing powder.

Judging from the amount of dancing fans stored by the Baroque Work Society, it is estimated that they also spend a lot of money to buy dancing fans, so that they have to rob the Drum Kingdom to replenish the event funds.

What, you say that there is no shortage of money in opening a casino?

Just kidding, the salaries of more than 2,000 people in the Baroque work society are a joke? If you don't get a little more money, you can eat Klockdahl poor with one bite of food.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the employee can't afford to eat, in case his big boss's high-end cigar breaks, it's really unacceptable.

Pinching his eyebrows, Kobra secretly said outrageous.

According to the information gathered, the drought was not caused by dancing powder, but was purely a natural phenomenon, but why Klockdahl hoarded so much dancing powder.

Could it be that he had already anticipated the arrival of the drought and was ready to use dancing powder to blame the royal family, which caused civil strife and gave him the opportunity to usurp the country?

I have to say that Kobra is worthy of being the king of a country, and his guess is basically correct.

"Ikalem, where is Vivi now?" Putting down the papers in his hand, Kobra asked.

"Your Majesty, Princess Vivi is in the Imperial Garden at this time." Ikalem, who was guarding the doorway, responded.

Ever since Klockdahl was caught, Ikalem has been by Kobra's side to prevent the Baroque Workshop from taking risks to assassinate the king, and Princess Vivi is accompanied by the adjutant of the Kingdom Guard, fearing that the assassination of the Drum Kingdom will happen again in Alabastan.

Nodding, Kobra wasn't worried that Vivi would run around, although she was naughty, she was still measured.

Picking up another document, Kobra's pupils shrank slightly: "Navy hero Karp, what is he doing here, hasn't Klockdahl been taken in by the navy?" ”

Hearing this, Ekalame replied respectfully: "Just now we received news from the navy, they said that there was such a thing in the Seven Martial Seas under the command of the World Government, and it was due to the poor supervision of the navy, so they sent people to come to condole. Lieutenant General Karp happened to be nearby, and it was decided that he would be in charge of the matter. ”

It is naturally impossible for the navy to send people to the countries that are members of the world government without saying hello, especially a high-ranking navy like Vice Admiral Karp, and rashly entering the territory of other countries is likely to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Frowning, Kobra only felt that a wave had just flattened and a wave had risen.

A mere Klockdahl wouldn't have allowed the Navy to dispatch the Navy Hero Karp, so they must have discovered something wrong during the interrogation, and it happened to be something that the Navy or the World Government couldn't tolerate.

"Could it be that the contents of the royal burial hall have been exposed?" Kobra was shocked, but then calmed down: "No, it shouldn't be possible. If Klockdahl's target is really that thing, it will definitely not be easily leaked to the Navy and the World Government, this is his hole card to save his life. ”

So what else could it be?

After thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't have a clue, and there was no way, so Kobra could only ask Icalem to call Vivi over, hoping that his precious daughter could give him some clues.

"Father, are you looking for me?" Princess Vivi walked into the office with a puzzled look on her face.

Looking at the most beautiful and lovely flowers in Alabastan, Kobra smiled gently and kindly, "Vivi, do you know when Mr. Sauron will arrive in Albana?" ”

"Uh...... I don't know, but Kosha said that Mr. Sauron was going back to Eruma to do something, maybe a little later. ”

Prepared in his heart, Kobra was not disappointed, and continued to ask, "Then do you know that Mr. Sauron, how did you know that Crocokdal was plotting to usurp the country?" ”

He didn't ask his daughter directly how Sauron had heard about the Royal Tomb Shrine, as he didn't want young Vivi to know about some of the secrets just yet.

She's not mature enough to take on that responsibility.

Princess Vivi thought for a moment and said slowly: "I met him by accident at the time, and I didn't get to the bottom of it, but he did say that he came to Alabastan to meet a friend in addition to solving Baroka Walker. ”

"See a friend?" Kobra was a little curious, "You tell me more about the situation. ”

So, Princess Vivi told all the causes and consequences of her encounter with Zoro.

"Raul, Reilly, Robin." Cobra chewed on the three names, and the little girl who sold the flowers could be left alone, but Reilly and Robin ......

Standing up and pulling out a wanted notice from the bookshelf next to him, Kobra handed it to Vivi and said, "The Robin you are talking about, is this the person?" ”

Wei Wei looked at the little girl who was called "Devil's Child" on the wanted notice, and then compared with the big sister who was envious of her body and appearance, nodded and said, "It should be her." ”

After a moment of silence, Kobra asked again, "Does that Reilly have a scar on his right eye?" ”

Seeing her daughter confirm again, Kobra only felt a little panicked in his heart.

The son of the devil, the Immortal King Reilly, the two creatures that the world government closely watched all appeared in his kingdom, and he also had an unclear relationship with the hero who saved Alabastan, which made him feel a dull pain in his back.

The front foot only announced that you are Alabastan's forever friend, and you will give me a backstab on the backhand.
