Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 227: Will be king
Chapter 728 will eventually become king
"I see."
On the abandoned watchtower, Li Corleone spoke slowly as he watched Wyatt's back leaving.
"His Royal Highness has reason to believe that the murderer is an immortal species," he said, skillfully reaching out his hand in Yannick's direction, "so you suspect us?"
Yannik smiled, and humbly backed away:
"There is no 'we'."
Li was silent for a while.
"Your Highness may not know our family well," the Donglu Blood Clan said softly under the moonlight, "The immortals in this world may not all have the protection of the clan—there are those who live alone who were abandoned by their relatives, and those who defected The outliers of the family, and even some members of the clan violated the inheritance laws of our clan in private, gave the original blood 'gift' privately outside, and gave birth to descendants of the blood clan who are not on the record..."
Thales never looked back.
He raised his binoculars and paid close attention to the residential area not far away, occasionally frowning.
"Did you know?"
But the prince interrupted Li as soon as he opened his mouth, making the envoy of the kingdom of night look cold.
"Since Lord Parrot reformed and promulgated the laws of the Emerald City, the nobles in the South Shore Territory have had a tradition of being shrewd and flattering, but also deceiving themselves."
Thales spoke quietly, he never put down the binoculars:
"If a man is to be silenced forever—in an involuntary manner—they will not do it directly in the territory because of the law, but will send him on a foreign ocean-going ship to the 'Free travel' on the high seas, and the rest will be left to Muhai girl."
As long as something doesn't happen in your own jurisdiction, it doesn't happen.
Yannik squinted at Li.
"Even the body was not found after the incident, and there was no way to find it."
And there is no need to file a case - what happened abroad!
Thales sighed.
He turned around holding up the binoculars, and looked at the two guests carefully through the lens tube with the utmost impoliteness-although at such a close distance, nothing could be seen in the lens tube.
"Ah, good, it seems that you know this tradition."
Thales put on a look of enlightenment after careful observation. He put down the lens barrel and rubbed his eyes that were almost blinded by the gesture.
The two guests were silent.
"That's why I'm puzzled—why Federico Kevin Dill, eleven years ago, the son of a traitor with a sensitive identity and much-anticipated, and a disgrace to his family, was able to send him out on the high seas in Jann' for free Survived on the ocean-going ship of tourism, and came back alive?”
The prince is serious and amazed:
"Is it because the boatman who was silenced back then was not able to do things well, or is it that the Muhai girl is really like a folk choreography, favoring young and strong men with vigorous blood and letting him escape?"
Thales looked at the expressions of the two blood races.
Not surprisingly, they remained motionless, reacting calmly, as steady as a mountain of sighs.
It seems that he didn't hear the prince's frivolous remarks teasing the Muhai girl.
It was not until more than ten seconds later that Yannick smiled first, and he looked at the elders of Donglu:
"Perhaps, Your Highness, we shouldn't question the justice and sanctity of Muhai girl?"
Thales shrugged.
Just and Holy...
(Of course.
After all, regardless of sea merchants, sailors, sailors, pirates, navy, sea kings, or sea monkeys, as long as they go to sea, everyone prays to this girl—you pray for a safe journey, and she promises a full cabin, Then whoever asks for another one will make a lot of money and be successful in suppressing bandits...
Then Mu Hai, who is the eldest daughter of the Supreme God in the classics of the school (some say, brother and sister, or even grandson and grandson), must have a bowl of Hai Duanping, right?
Here, for sea merchants and sea passengers, safe halfway, let pirates and pirates rob half of the cabin.
Well, the two companies fight halfway on the sea, and then let the navy join in halfway, half of the bribes here, and half of the gangsters on the other side.
What? You ask how several batches of goods and people are lost forever?
Hey, of course it's because of the intense fighting, and you fell into the sea—do you not pay handling fees for your work? Don't sea monkeys have to eat?
Don’t be unhappy, just look:
Maritime merchants only make half of the profit, but they make money after all.
It's better to get half of the pirates than nothing.
The navy joins halfway, and you will be paid half of it, so you can make money.
He didn't collect all of it, you are not bankrupt, and you will earn more next time.
He wiped out half of the bandits again.
But the gangsters ran away halfway, and then they could continue to suppress and earn money.
In this way, you say, under Mu Hai's rule, fairness and sacredness mean that everyone has food to eat and everyone has money to earn?
Half of life, half of death, half of increase, half of decrease, and a little less of the sea!
(Leaning back) This is the balance, the way of the sea!
It is said that God is pure and holy, who said that Muhai is unfair?
What? Some people say that if this is the case, then what is the use of this girl Mu Hai?
That's another story...
The above nonsense is all excerpted from the notes in the theology class of His Majesty Thales when he read the article "The Lord of the Sea--The Underlying Logic and Historical Evolution of Muhai Belief". All in the world. )
Under Thales' gaze, Li remained silent.
"Federico told me not long ago," Thales said with a sneer, "he kept his name in hiding all these years, lived in hiding, and took shelter under the door of his father's old friend until the 'family' that sheltered him couldn't bear the pressure , changed his face and drove him out of the house."
Yannick's smile grew wider.
Thales stared at Li:
"As we all know, the Kevin Dill family is located in the Emerald City, with abundant resources, wide channels, and ocean routes. Together with the Cullen family in the East China Sea, they are the pillars of the Star Kingdom.
Looking at both sides of the Ending Sea, the Iris family is not to mention powerful, at least it is a giant. The surrounding city-states and clans are unwilling to make enemies with them. "
Thales narrowed his eyes:
"Then I'm even more curious."
He put his hands behind his back and started to walk around Li lightly.
"What kind of a loyal 'family' is it that is willing to take the risk of antagonizing Iris and being retaliated by the Emerald City to hide Federico, the black sheep of the Kevin Dill family, the son of Duke Jayne? A thorn in the flesh?
"What kind of a 'family' must be brave enough to commit crimes against the wind and secretly save Federico's life at the critical moment when Kongming Palace suddenly lost its lord and the emerald city was indignant eleven years ago. Are you still keeping secrets for more than ten years without leaking any news?"
Thales stopped and stood in front of Li, staring at Li's pale, pale face.
"Unless that 'family' saw far more than risks."
Thales said seriously:
"Unless that 'family' can rely on their background, it is not inferior to Emerald City."
Li slowly raised his head and looked at Thales with a dead silence in his eyes.
"And they may not be forced to drive him out of the house as Federico said," Thales said indifferently, "but they were willing, even eagerly, to send him out to return home Township, and I wish him all the best he can."
"Tut tsk tsk," Yannick said at the right time, repeating the prince's words: "I am willing and looking forward to it."
"So I remembered again."
On the top of the sentry tower, Thales' voice sounded again.
"In those days when Kevin Dill and the Corleone family hadn't turned against each other, and when you were close and even allies with each other, an important route for foreign ocean-going ships departing from Emerald City was to go to the Eastern Continent—the Night of the Night. China's Wanghai Cliff."
Thales' gaze was like a sword, piercing Earl Li:
"Is there a possibility that you, the Corleone family of the Kingdom of the Night, just happened to be in the hands of you, the Corleone family, who sent Federico on a 'high seas tour' back then?"
Speaking of this, Li finally turned his head slowly and said softly:
"His Highness Thales..."
But this time, Thales was no longer polite, he raised an index finger, and interrupted the Eastland blood:
"Or worse—the job wasn't yours."
The prince looks playfully:
"Is it possible that the bats of Corleone's family stretched out their ears to monitor the 'cargo' sent by the 'allies' of the Emerald City to the ocean-going ships in the countless nights before you and Jann turned against each other, As soon as it is profitable, you will secretly take action to cut it off and hide it from the sky, hoping to get a rich return of rare treasures?"
Li shut his mouth and remained silent.
Or this is the best answer.
But some people think otherwise.
"So, according to what His Highness said, when the old Duke passed away, the **** fangs across the sea were ready to move..."
I saw Yannick walking slowly towards the tower, looking at the boundless moonlight in the sky, and then at the brilliant lights of Miyagi in the distance, waiting for another burst of fireworks to explode in the air, then bowed his head in the colorful night, Looking down at the last darkness in the new suburb.
"Therefore, the sinner who avenged his father and instigated rebellion in Gonghai City - Federico Cavendir not only survived the catastrophe, but hid in the kingdom of night..."
Yannick's eyes are malicious:
"It has also become a **** and bargaining chip for the Corleone family to threaten, restrain and even fight against the Kevin Dill family in the future?"
Corleone
Threats.
Clamp.
Chess pieces.
Chips.
Hearing these words, Thales felt something in his heart, and couldn't help sighing:
"The covenant in the inner sea, I still remember it."
As for whose family's Neihai is the Neihai of one family or two, well, that's not necessarily the case.
It's just that if you dare to take food from the mouth of the famously mean and mean girl Muhai (recorded in the classics), will there really be no retribution?
Thales shook his head and returned to reality.
"So, Federico followed the ship of Kingdom of the Night and came back for revenge."
In this way, it makes sense: Emerald City has a strict system, from the princes to the common people, their identities, weapons and sharp blades must be registered, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter the city. Some broken copper and iron...
Thales took a deep breath:
"Only foreign missions like you that have 'special' needs, are not subject to review, and do not have to report their whereabouts, are eligible to provide him with weapons and equipment, and even a place to hide."
Thales looked at Li with a smile:
"Am I right? Earl Li?"
Li was silent for a long time.
But Thales was very patient, and even took time to meet the smiling Yannick on the other side, and smiled and exchanged greetings with each other.
"Continue to believe, the bait given to you by traitors and sinners."
Li finally spoke coldly and grabbed their attention:
"Continue to enjoy the convenience they deliberately provided."
What?
Thales and Yannick were taken aback by the other party's endless words.
I saw Li Leng coldly said:
"Because one day, they will get their wish."
Yannick frowned.
"Who are you talking to?"
The young Houllier thought deeply: "I, or Your Highness?"
Li Leng snorted:
"What do you think?"
Thals also frowned when he said this.
Bait for traitors and sinners?
Is he on me, or on Yannick?
What he said was...
Federico, or Serena, the ugly face?
Just when Thales was puzzled, Yannick's expression changed.
"How much?"
The young congressman clicked his tongue and fought back coldly.
Li has no expression on his face.
"I mean, Earl Li, in your Kingdom of the Night, in those smoky barren mountains and underground caves," Councilor Yannick Houllier's eyes were burning, "how many such exiled dignitaries are secretly hiding? ? Sensitive and dangerous?"
Li was silent.
"It doesn't matter if you don't say anything," said the young—relatively speaking—strigoi with burning eyes. The list? Let's hope it's not too long."
The next second, Li Quietly turned her neck silently, and her lifeless eyes enveloped the Western clan who had made trouble for him.
But Yannick is happy and unafraid, and his smile is even bigger.
Thales was shocked when he heard this.
If the Kingdom of the Night really has such a chess piece, at a critical moment—such as the Emerald City at this moment—take out one, and that is a sword?
But if they are all exposed, they will become enemies with the major forces...
How many soldiers and horses can the entire kingdom of the night pull up?
Compared with the entire Eastern Continent?
On the other side, Li stared at Yannick, his gaze became more and more menacing.
The atmosphere is getting tense.
"And I guess, the one who dared to take risks and protect the mortal enemy of the Kevin Dill family--the person who made this decision and put it into practice was neither Katerina nor you, Count Le Corleone , not to mention the other nobles of the Kingdom of the Night, or even the Nightwing King himself who has long since ceased to take matters seriously..."
Yannik's tone became more and more dangerous, and Thales also felt that the surrounding atmosphere was not right.
"...But your sinister and cunning old comrade-in-arms, the elder steward of the Hill of Pain, the 'Dark Wing' who is in charge of the intelligence affairs of the Holy Blood Corps——Chris Corleone?"
Hearing this name that he hadn't heard for a long time, Thales frowned.
Li's expression finally moved.
He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and gave a meaningful smile.
As if it wasn't enough, Yannick smiled and bowed slightly:
"Ah, I have dedicated my life to my lord. May the sunset bless Chris' loyalty."
Let the setting sun bless the blood race...
Oops.
Thales started to have a headache.
Is it really a good idea to find a buddy like Yannick to press the stage?
"Junior, when will you leave the city?" Sure enough, the next moment, Li Leng said, "I want to see you off."
Yannik's eyes lit up, and he was not afraid:
"Oh, why don't you send it all the way to the feast leader?"
Seeing that the confrontation between the two blood races was about to break through the upper limit of human endurance, Thales clapped his hands vigorously and coughed loudly!
"So!"
He spoke seriously, brought the conversation back to the topic, successfully attracted the attention of the two guests, and eased the atmosphere between them:
"In other words, since I set foot in the Emerald City, the City of Queens has been in a predicament—massacres, coups, chaos, including all the troubles I have faced..."
Thinking of this, Thales' disgust and anger are uninvited:
"It's all thanks to you."
He said coldly:
"Korleon of the Kingdom of the Night."
His paralyzed crybaby.
Li Wenyan was silent.
I saw him turn around slowly and salute Thales.
"His Royal Highness's accusation is sensational, but there is a lack of evidence."
Thales smiled.
"That's right, I have no evidence, pure reasoning and suspicion..."
He suddenly remembered the Palace of Heroes a long time ago, King Nun's laughing answer to Grand Duke Pfeiffer's questioning.
[When do I need evidence? 】
【Since we are from the Northland, we should follow the way of the Northland. 】
The prince restrained his smile:
"But the good news is that I am neither a police officer nor a defender, so I don't need to prove it to the judge."
On the other side, Yannick spread his hands lightly, making a helpless and regretful expression at the right time.
Li's eyes didn't move.
"So that's all I have to say," Thales sighed, "The rest is up to you, Earl."
"Whatever you want?"
"Yes, you can turn around and leave, but you can also try to make up for the past, in exchange for my past..."
"What if I don't follow?" Li Leng said coldly.
Thales was taken aback, as if he hadn't thought of this answer.
The prince's face turned cold.
Yannick sneered maliciously.
"If you don't follow..."
But a few seconds later, Thales' face turned from cold winter to warm spring. He smiled gently and shrugged helplessly:
"Then I have nothing to do."
Li frowned, seemingly surprised.
I saw Thales holding his head in his hands helplessly:
"If you really reached an agreement with my father, then I definitely can't do anything to you, let alone the Kingdom of the Night..."
He looks bitter:
"I can only swallow my anger, sit and watch the city crumble, destroy people and wealth, and then accept the failure and humiliation of this trip to the Emerald City, amidst the unforgettable unwillingness and resentment, and the unforgettable ridicule and cold eyes , Hiding back to the lair in desperation."
Speaking of this, Thales' complexion changed.
"After all..."
Thales stared at the other party calmly, and said softly:
"I'm not yet king."
After being silent for a long time, Li's gaze finally changed.
"Fortunately..."
Yannik looked at the scenery outside the tower, intentionally or unintentionally:
"You will eventually be king."
Bang!
In the direction of Kongming Palace, a large bunch of celebration ceremony flowers exploded into the sky, shining brightly, reflecting the residential buildings in the new suburbs, and the sound of celebration in the distance is faint.
It was as bright as daylight on the sentry tower.
There are only three shadows projected on the ground, two parallel and not intersecting each other.
The fireworks dimmed, and there was a long silence on the sentry tower.
The silent Li finally raised his eyes.
One second~IndoMTL.com~Two seconds, three seconds...
The confident Prince Thales shook his head, counted the beats, and waited strategically for the other party to propose conditions—as if turning his head away from the side of the stall, confidently waiting for the stall owner "Hey, come back, come back, okay then It's cheaper for you"...
"Huh."
Li snorted disdainfully.
"The last Canxing who threatened me so much," Li said softly, "didn't become king after all."
What?
Thales was taken aback.
The next moment, before the prince could reply, Li Corleone turned around in an instant, and his figure flashed!
He disappeared completely into the darkness.
Only Thales and Yannick on the sentry tower were left, looking at each other in stupefaction and astonishment.
A look of innocence.
