The lower deck of the Wave-Riding Lion was rarely entered, except for the captain, Remassa, and a few experienced first mates, because most people did not need to come except for the boilers, which were warehouses full of all kinds of weapons and goods, and second, there were only two keys, one on Remassa's body and one on the neck of Sargassum, and if anyone wanted to enter, they had to ask the permission of one of them.

Hidden Eyebrows followed them down the long wooden spiral staircase to the lower deck, through the boilers in the amidships and a series of blackened sealed doors, and into a corridor that led to a large, candlelit warehouse at the end. Before she could get closer, she heard intermittent weeping and a series of muffled whispers begging for mercy.

Remassa and Sargassum's faces were pale, and both of them showed vicious and fierce looks, and she suddenly felt a bitter chill in her eyebrows, and she vaguely realized what was going on in the warehouse. She shuddered.

Yin Xinmei followed the two men into the warehouse, and a scene appeared in front of him.

At the base of the innermost wall of the warehouse, a young woman with a blue nose and swollen face was wrapped in a woolen blanket, covered in blood, seeping through the blanket and the floor, her eyes could not be opened either because of the wounds on her face or because she was already delirious, and the woman was shaking like epilepsy, her chapped and bleeding lips were closed, and she probably did not live long.

In front of her were two strange men who had been stripped naked, their beards half ripped off, their faces so bloody that they couldn't see their features, one of them had their eyeballs ripped out, and they were bound from head to toe with hemp rope, their wrists were tightly tied to the top of their heads, and they were curled up in a ball on the ground trying to hide their shame, and their bodies were covered with fresh whip marks and cuts. There were daggers, lassoes, wine bottles, sticks, and other objects left on the ground next to them, and several of them had blood clots stuck to them.

The hair-raising cries and pleadings that she had heard before were from the two men, whom she had thought were women.

Three other tall men, dressed in the uniforms of the Morris crew, sat on three simple wooden chairs opposite, one with a long whip in his hand, the other two with a pipe in his mouth, and one with a red-hot iron, all of them gritting their teeth in anger, and a blazing charcoal basin resting on the ground behind them.

This scene didn't need words, and Yin Xinmei immediately understood what was happening.

As soon as the three crew members saw Remassa and the captain, they jumped up, stood and saluted, and gave up their chairs to the three of them.

"Say it. "Sargassum simple command.

"Today it was my turn to work the night shift, so before the dance was over, I asked the captain for the key to add coal to the boiler. "I carried the five baskets of coal alone, because everyone else was left on the saloon deck." When I was carrying the first basket, I heard movement in the warehouse, and at first I thought it was the resonance of music or something, but I didn't take it to heart. But the second and third time I went down, the more I listened to it, the more wrong it became, some people laughed and some cried, and it didn't come from the ball at all. ”

"To be on the safe side, I slipped into the dark passage behind the deck, because in addition to the key to the main entrance, the secret passage could be entered. As I had guessed, the glass windows inside the tunnels had been shattered, and the reinforced iron bars had been removed. So there must have been outsiders on the bottom deck. I heard the voices of strangers and men saying to leave quickly, and I didn't want them to slip away, but I knew I probably wouldn't be able to stop them alone. ”

"So when he came up to us," the pipe-wiping crew continued, "the two of us were about to ask him to take a gamble. Hearing that the lower deck had been broken into, the three of us decided to catch the man first and then report to the captain. So we grabbed a few things that we had in hand, and hurried down to catch them. ”

"By the time we entered, Tani had been tormented unconscious by these two men," the third crew member with a soldering iron began, his lips trembling, "and it didn't take much effort for the three of us to knock these two men to the ground. They were stiff-mouthed at first, but after I gently pressed the soldering iron, they said everything. They were two caravan owners of the Udinei family, who rarely came here, and this time it was less than a week at Red Palm Bay. They had heard that the Duke had a bow feast on the Lion, and they knew that the people of the Udinei family would not be invited, so they had circled the ship a few days earlier, and finally found a way for them to break in. ”

"They said that during the storm last night, they broke the windows, tore down the iron railings, and hid in this warehouse under the cover of the thunder and rain," the first crew member with the whip picked up, "and then poor Tani was attacked by these two son of bitch mongrels this morning when she asked the captain for the keys and took the things needed for the ball from the warehouse, and was tortured by them until we found them. So after we had tied up the two Udinei beasts, I went up and reported the situation to the captain, leaving them both to guard the storehouse. ”

"Well done," said Remassa, taking the purse from his pocket and tossing it to them, "it is a reward for your faithfulness, and you will take it and buy wine and drink." ”

His action reminded Hidden Eyebrows of the situation when Seser gave her diamonds, the two of them had the same technique, could it be that a man with a bit of power and wealth, whether he was 25 or 16 years old, was so keen on this action?

Thinking of Sether, he must have been in a mess by now, and the thought of how much shock and confusion she would have caused to the royal family and the Third Legion of the Viaphant Cay before she was executed filled with a sense of revenge in her heart. When she rescued Belen and the others again, and did not return them to the Wisson Kai, until Sether came to her knees and begged, the pleasure would surely be even more exciting and trembling.

But what if Sether, a ruthless villain who doesn't recognize his relatives, simply gives up the father and son of the great prince and ignores her because he wants to ask her for help? It doesn't matter, she can feed them without Remassa, not to mention that Remassa and her are on the same front now, and eating with a few more mouths is a piece of cake.

Yin Xinmei was so cranky, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Her expression was caught in the eyes of Captain Sargassum and Remassa, who looked at her and said, "Tana is your man, you know?"

"Of course I don't know!" Remassa's question was immediate, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Tani and Gina are both bride maids given to the Morris family by the Aaron family for your marriage," Remassa replied, "Gina will be assigned to you first, and Tani will leave the butler to be a helper on the ship for the time being, and when you and I return to Morris Castle, Tani will return it to you." ”

Hidden eyebrows blinked, she grasped a reason that could make Remassa change her mind, "The crown prince and the captain, and the three brave gentlemen," everyone's attention turned to her, "Do you think these two people from the Udini family can really find that secret passage by just going around the cabin a few times? ”

"What do you mean by Idile?" said Captain Sargassum in a gruff voice.

"I've heard that the killers of the Udini family are not inferior to the Moseley family," Yin Xinmei said, "You can think about it, if you can provide the news to the caravan owner who has been running around all the year round, and can also send someone to find out the secret passage of the Wave Treading Lion, this person's identity must not be ordinary, and he is by no means an unknown person." ”

No one spoke, but the hidden eyebrows could be seen from their expressions, and they all silently agreed with her in their hearts.

"My opinion is that, first, this secret passage was discovered to be the result of the Udinei family's long-term planning, and second, the person who planned it must be in a high position in the Udinei family. I don't know anything but that they are our enemies of Morris. So you can analyze these conditions together: who is powerful in the Udinei family, who controls their caravans and killers at the same time, I think you can probably come up with a few key names in your mind. ”

"Our Morris family's name is 'Red Palm,'" Sargassum muttered, "and the Oudine family's killer organization is Black Iris······"

He looked at Remassa and began to pull his beard. Yin Xinmei felt that the two of them had one or two exact names in their hearts, but they didn't say it.

"Take Idile back to rest first," Remassa handed the Hidden Eyebrows to Captain Sargassum, "I still need to confirm a few more questions with the two Udines." ”

As he was leaving, Hidden Eyebrows felt that Remassa had already begun to consider a plan to attack the Coral Lighthouse.

The next day, Remassa did not leave the Wave-Riding Lion.

Because of Tani's affairs, Remassa stepped up the security of the battleship, and when Hidden Heart Mei mentioned to her that he wanted to go to the atonement sacrifice with Xie Bo, he refused.

Although Hidden Heart Mei said that he understood the current situation, in order to make her happy, Remassa agreed that Xie Bo would bring another priest back from the Eternal Temple to teach Yin Xin Mei to sing the hymn together.

Twenty-five-year-old Yeduton, the grandson of the temple's chief priest, was the eldest of the twelve. He has a good and loud voice, speaks many Chinese, and is proficient in almost all ancient languages (there is more than one ancient language, which is the collective name for all ancient languages that existed seven thousand years ago). ）

While Hidden Eyebrows, Sheppo, and Yeduton began to sing with sheet music in a beautiful box on the saloon deck, Count Gwen and Remassa stood outside and looked through the glass, like parents standing outside a cram school.

"Crown Prince, we all have one person in mind, don't we?" said Count Gwen softly.

"Are you really sure we can ask Udini for those hostages?" Remassa asked rhetorically.

"The House of Udini has already begun to manipulate our ships," said the Count solemnly, "and they have insulted Tani, and they have insulted Idile, that is, they have insulted you, my Highness, and we cannot swallow our anger so much. ”

"I know I'm going to have to make them pay this blood debt twice!" Remassa whispered through gritted teeth, "but are we really going to take those royals from Weyssing? I don't want to have anything to do with Wessing, and I don't think those hostages are of any use to the Morris family." ”

"We cannot leave such an important hostage to the House of Udinei in vain," the Count's words hit the nail on the head, "and what is good for them is bad for us." ”

"That's right," Remassa muttered to himself, and suddenly he stared at the Count, "Black Iris, Velicent Kai hostages, caravans, coral lighthouse······ That's—"

"Shakin, nicknamed 'Lady Black Iris', the founder of the Black Iris Organization with his own hands, and the third wife of Prince Udine, is the sworn enemy of the Morris family," the Earl's voice was grim, "and this is the female devil we are looking for." ”

Remassa's eyes were grim, and he fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Yeduton and Xie Bo in the box hugged each other laughing and jumping, and let out an earth-shattering scream, and the two of them cried and laughed like crazy people, and Yin Xinmei sat on the side with his eyes stunned, as if he was stupid by something.

The Count and Remassa immediately broke down the door and shouted, "What has happened? Have you been attacked?"

"No, no! it's incredible!" Xie Bo cried, "I thought it wasn't going to happen, I thought it was only a myth!"

She was so excited that she was incoherent, so the Count had to ask Yeduton to explain.

"While we were singing the hymn, Idrilai suddenly began to sing a new song in a language I had never heard before," Jeduton stammered, barely able to suppress his excitement, "though I had never learned that language, but I could understand it perfectly! I could tell that it was the Song of the Hidden Lotus, which had been lost for seven thousand years, and that Idrilai sang it in the language of the Messenger of God! This is from the language of heaven, and only one person in the world can sing it, and that is 'Summoner and Judge of the Messenger of God'!"

"Seven thousand years have passed, and we have finally arrived!" "Shebo knelt on the ground and prayed incoherently, weeping, "We have finally heard the Song of the Hidden Lotus, the regent of all the land of Velogosa, the queen of many nations has finally awakened!

"I was a little suspicious, the first time I saw Idile in the Temple, she didn't have the spirit of a regent, and I suspected that she was a fake······" Stunned, Yeduton muttered to himself, "But, Eternal King, your choice will never be wrong! Your wisdom is far superior to that of the world! Idrilai is the one who the Aarons have been waiting for for seven thousand years, the queen and the regent who paved the way for the return of the Eternal King!"

"We're going to get the news to the temple as soon as possible!" said Sheppo.

"That's right!" said Yeduton, who stood up after him, and the two men hurried out, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Yin Xinmei's face was still full of stunned, and he didn't seem to react, and he didn't move in the chair.

Remassa seemed to try to stop Sheppo and them, but was held down by the Count.

"Why? It's dangerous for them to go out now. Remassa asked.

"Udinei has not been bold enough to deal directly with the House of Aaron these days, and besides," said the Earl with a smile, "your Idrilei seems to have won the hearts of the Aarons, and they will swear their allegiance to her to the death and without complaint." ”

"That means that the elite guards of the Eternal Temple can finally join forces with the Maurice family," Remassa's eyes lit up excitedly, "Kill Shakin completely, kill the Udini family!"

"Even if it doesn't die, at least it will make Udinei not want to turn over in five years. The Count said slowly.
