On the high wall of the main city of the Sea Clan, Mo Lei, the Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei looked at the scene on the main street a few kilometers away with shock, and agreed to attack the Sea King to attract the strong men of the Sea Clan in the city.
However, the current situation looks like the attack was successful.
This made Mo Lei immediately think that this was a plot. The three of them were tricked into coming here to be the scapegoats for the assassination of Neptune. What's more terrible is that if they were caught, she said it was a fake attack and she was not prepared.
It was really an accident that killed Neptune. Neptune was killed. I wonder, would the strong men of the sea tribe believe it?
The thoughts in Mo Lei's mind were racing, and she suddenly felt that this matter was not a trap, otherwise it would not be possible to reveal the flaws everywhere. She had been plotted by the Pharaoh, and the feeling of being plotted by the other party that time was completely different from now.
Just when Mo Lei, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei were preparing to withdraw, the Sea Clan Guards on the main street, under the command of the great warrior Zakava, took away all the car fragments on the main street, leaving only
The gravel is removed.
This made Mo Lei even more confused. She originally thought that other extremely powerful people would arrive immediately, seal off the main city, and conduct a blanket investigation.
The current situation is that Neptune seems to be dead. The bodyguards took the wreckage and hurriedly evacuated, without giving anyone outside the scene a chance to inspect the scene of the attack.
This makes people very confused. This is the main city of the Sea Clan. It is impossible for other forces other than the Sea Clan to have the opportunity to inspect the scene of Sea King's assassination. In this way, Sea King's confidant, the great warrior Zakawa, was on guard against
, must be someone from the Hai Clan.
There are three factions within the Sea Tribe. The Royal Faction is the Sea King himself, the Theocratic Poseidon Sect, and the Presbyterian Church, which is the oldest and has the most powerful people. It is said that the two most powerful people in this world who have no faction are secretly...
He is a Presbyterian.
Now that the leader of the royalist faction, Poseidon, has been killed, his men must be on guard against the Poseidon Sect and the Presbyterian Church.
But prevention is prevention, so why was the attack scene so clean? This is quite surprising. Neptune was attacked and killed in the main city. This incident can definitely throw dirty water on the Poseidon Sect and the Presbyterian Church.
At this moment, Mo Lei, Yue Apostle, and Hao Mei received a prompt at the same time.
[Tip: You have triggered a special event·the truth.]
[Tip: This is an incidental event task. Different from regular events, there is no penalty for this task except for the risks caused by the task itself. 】
[You can choose from the following camps as a participant in this mission.]
1. The attacker’s camp.
2. Neptune camp (if you choose this camp and are exposed, you will be hunted down by the attackers).
3. Poseidon Cult camp (if you choose this camp and are exposed, you will be hunted down by the attackers).
…
This sudden multiple-choice question, no, it should be a proposition, made Mo Lei, Yue Apostle, and Hao Mei all choose "the attacker camp". This is their initial camp for this attack. How?
There is no need to hesitate when choosing.
As soon as they made their choice, the three of them received prompts at the same time.
[You have triggered the first link of this mission·Witness.]
Mission introduction: Leave the main city of the Sea Tribe alive.
Mission deadline: None.
Task rewards: accumulated to the final stage, and will be distributed in the form of settlement after completing the final stage.
Mission penalty: None.
…
Just when Mo Lei and the others were still considering what to do next, a deep middle-aged male voice came from behind the three of them.
"Are the three friends of the Secret Pattern Master?"
"Ah? Ah, yes."
Mo Lei was stunned for a moment and then responded. According to the original plan, this is indeed the case. But the problem is that there are flaws in the plan now. The attack on Neptune seems to have been successful. In this case, the plan will still continue?
To be on the safe side, Mo Lei checked the team information to see if Su Xiao posted news there. It turned out that because she was inside the incident area and Su Xiao was outside the area, the two parties could not communicate through this method. If they wanted to contact each other, they had to bear the responsibility.
The risk of exposure, using communication equipment, is the balance caused by the notarization mechanism.
"You three, come with me."
The contact person turned around and left. Vaguely, Mo Lei heard the other person muttering in a low voice, 'The attack on the Sea King was just like killing him with a real bomb', 'As expected of a professional' and other words.
Mo Lei, Yue Apostle, and Hao Mei looked at each other. The main city of the Sea Clan must have been sealed off now. It is impossible to get out. There are only two options. One is to use expensive life-saving tools to escape, and the other is to follow the contact person.
, thus leaving this high wall that is about to be closely scrutinized.
After walking around in a secret passage and passing through several one-way teleportation arrays, the connector finally took Mo Lei and the others to the predetermined location. When they arrived, Hao Mei's eyes became particularly solemn. Just as she was about to speak, a group of seamen
The Imperial Guards came over, and their captain asked sternly:
"Are these the two gem masters?"
"Yes, but your tone is best to be more respectful."
The contact person spoke with a bit of dissatisfaction. Although the captain of the Imperial Guard looked more and more dangerous, he still did not have an attack in the end. He nodded to Mo Lei and scolded Hao Mei: "I asked you to pick up these two people slowly."
Tuntun, come on, there seems to be something going on over there on the main street. Don't wander around after you enter the workshop area."
Haomei is from the Sea Clan camp, and under the recommendation of Caesar, she serves in a subordinate department of the Guards in the main city. It is normal for the Captain of the Guards to order her now.
Although Hao Mei seemed dissatisfied, she chose to endure it. This is the normal reaction after joining the Sea Tribe as a contractor of the paradise camp. If Hao Mei really obeys the order, then the captain of the Imperial Guard will immediately give the order.
, capture the few people present, this is the main city of the Sea Clan, any chain reaction caused by suspicious actions will not be made into a trivial matter.
After passing three checkpoints stationed by sea soldiers, Mo Lei, Yue Apostle, and Hao Mei entered the workshop area, and under the guidance of the connector, they arrived at a three-story building. As soon as they entered the door, the three of them saw
More than a dozen craftsmen.
These craftsmen are both male and female. Because they are all leaders in various fields and have unique aura fluctuations, they have the same identity, disciples of the Dwarf King.
Seeing the arrival of Mo Lei and the others, more than a dozen master craftsmen present stood up to greet them. The forger headed by them said: "Thank you for your hard work. It's a pity that I can't entertain you warmly. The most important thing now is how we escape from here."
."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of more than a dozen people in the room were all focused on Mo Lei and the three of them, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Mo Lei looked at the team channel, but there was still no news, and Caesar, who was supposed to come to contact him, also
She was nowhere to be seen, which made her have the same idea as the dozen or so craftsmen present, that is, how to leave this place?
…
"Huh? Mo Lei and the others went to the workshop area?"
Su Xiao frowned as she listened to Baha's narration. The original plan was to attack the Sea King and plunge the main city into chaos, and then take the opportunity to rescue the Dwarf King. At least that was the plan on the surface.
But now the attack seems to be successful. The reason why it is said to be very successful is because Su Xiao is sure that Neptune is not dead. The killing prompt is very strange. There is only one "You have killed Neptune" and the corresponding reward is nothing.
No.
You don't need to think twice to know that this is the fault of the priest.
"There is still no movement in the main city of the Sea Clan?"
Su Xiao spoke with a bit of suspicion in her eyes. If the priest conspired with Neptune, then the main city of the Sea Tribe should take action now. No matter why Neptune wanted to fake his death, his purpose should be revealed soon.
In fact, the plan of Neptune and the priest is indeed like this, but the problem is that Neptune's informants have detected that Mo Lei, Yue Apostle, and Hao Mei, who are Su Xiao's associates, have actually sneaked into the workshop area now.
According to the plan of Neptune and the priest, after being attacked and killed and feigned death, all Su Xiao's plans should be disrupted, so there would be no chance for Mo Lei and the others to immediately sneak into the workshop area.
The problem lies here. For some unknown reason, Mo Lei and the other three actually acted according to the original plan. This not only confused Su Xiao, but also made Neptune and the priest unable to deal with it. This caused both sides to be confused.
Don't dare to act rashly, fearing that this is the opponent's back-up plan.
But the problem is that the actions of Mo Lei and the others are really not back-up moves. On the contrary, the three of them are now trapped in the workshop area.
In fact, Mo Lei and the others were quite helpless. After the attack started, they thought they had only two options left, one was to use life-saving items to escape, and the other was to follow the contact person, so they chose the latter, which led to the current situation.
In fact, there is another group of people who are even more confused, namely the Poseidon Sect, which has long been in complete collusion with the Arcane Eternal Star and is preparing to get rid of the current Neptune and help people from the Poseidon Sect to take over.
In fact, the Poseidon Sect is somewhat forced to do so. The current Poseidon did take advantage of the opportunity to ascend to power, but after being able to fight against the Beast King for so many years, this person is also a very ruthless leader. Except for force, all other abilities are fully utilized.
The Sea Clan's long-term mixing of royal power and divine power has made the King of the Sea feel like he has something stuck in his throat, and he has long been ready to uproot the Poseidon Sect.
Naturally, the Poseidon Religion will not wait for death. The top management over there figured out that they couldn't defeat Neptune in all aspects anyway. They were clearly arranged by the other party, so they might as well do something ruthless and eliminate him physically, that is, assassinate Neptune.
Just recently, a distinguished guest came to the ancient city of Yatuo, the main city of the Sea Clan. The Poseidon Sect was busy doing nothing and took the opportunity to assassinate the King of the Sea.
Everything was ready, and when Poseidon arrived at the predetermined ambush location, a blood gun with energy piercing the rainbow and piercing the layers of space barriers struck, bombing Poseidon's car and smashing the 'Sea King' inside.
The senior officials of the Poseidon Religion who saw this scene through the projection were extremely excited. One of them even laughed and said: "I didn't expect that our Poseidon Religion would have such a strong assassin. Let this person come to see me."
The higher-ups of Poseidon Sect were in a happy mood, and the people below were all confused. Poseidon was killed by the bombardment, but the problem is, they haven't done anything yet! Who did this?!
Generally speaking, this matter can be divided into three camps.
2. Neptune’s camp: Neptune and Neptune’s subordinates, Father.
3. Poseidon Cult: A group of senior Poseidon Cult officials, as well as the Inquisition (the department responsible for carrying out assassinations).
The beginning of all this is actually the cooperation between Neptune and the priest. One of the two is to get rid of the Poseidon Cult, and the other is to get the 20% "initial mark" fragments from the world-destroying existence, the Dark Eater.
The two had many plans, but the Poseidon Sect was very difficult to deal with. It was deeply rooted in the main city of the Sea Clan, and the Dark Eater was even more difficult to deal with. It was an extremely weird world-destroying existence.
Therefore, Neptune and the priest decided that a third party must enter the scene, and this third party was naturally Su Xiao's side.
After learning through the priest that Su Xiao intended to assassinate him, Neptune, who was usually indifferent to emotions and anger, couldn't help but smile.
Neptune was certain that the purpose of this extinguishing method was definitely not to kill him. This was not in line with the interests of the other party. He estimated that this extinguishing method was probably coming to rescue the Dwarf King.
Neptune welcomes this very much. Yes, he welcomes it. From the very beginning, the King of the Sea Tribe did not agree to join forces with the Arcane Eternal Star. No matter how the Poseidon Sect and the Presbyterian Church poured dirty water on the outside world and created
It seems that Neptune and Arcane Eternal Star are so close. In fact, what Neptune wants to do most right now is to kick Arcane Eternal Star out of Fenghai Continent.
Previously, this was Neptune's long-term plan, but after the Wolf God broke the seal and the negotiations between the Sea Clan and the spell casters almost turned against each other, Neptune firmly believed that compared to their old rivals, the Orcs, the Arcane Eternal Star would become a greater hidden danger to their Sea Clan.
.
How to make the Arcane Eternal Star leave? Threat of force? Don't be ridiculous. The most powerful person, Lord Soul, has not come. The Sea Tribe is no longer the opponent of these spell casters at the level of strong people, let alone, there are still people over there.
There is a supreme person who transcends limits.
If the threat of force is not enough, we have to start from other aspects. I would like to ask, why are the casters of the Arcane Eternal Star willing to help the Sea Clan deal with the Orcs? The reason is simply because the Sea Clan can provide elemental artifacts, and the only one who can create them is
The only one with elemental artifacts is the Dwarf King.
So here comes the question, what if the Dwarf King is kidnapped? The answer is, the Arcane Eternal Star will look at the Sea Clan with a smile on its face, asking the Sea Clan how to lose the person, how to find him, and how can he not find him back?
If so, the Sea Clan will be in great misfortune.
But what if the Dwarf King was abducted by a spell destroyer? This would be very strange. The destroyer is the enemy of your Arcane Eternal Star. The reason for this is because you casters are related to your Arcane Eternal Star.
The dwarf king was kidnapped because of a grudge against the star. Even if the Sea Clan made an oversight, they would not be beaten up. In the final analysis, the Arcane Eternal Star also cares about its reputation in the outside world.
In this way, this attack resulted in a win-win situation.
1. During the process of Su Xiao rescuing the Dwarf King, the eyesight of Neptune and his men will suddenly be greatly reduced. If the people on Su Xiao's side walk in front of Neptune's men, they will suddenly and temporarily become blind.
'.
The benefit this brings to Su Xiao is that he can successfully rescue the Dwarf King and save all the expenses that he had to pay on the original rescue journey.
2. Neptune will take the opportunity to blame the attack on the Poseidon Cult and be attacked and killed by Su Xiao. Even if the attack and killing intensity is relatively fierce, in the final analysis, Su Xiao's purpose is not to really kill Neptune. Neptune knows this.
As for the stand-in in the car, if Su Xiao really wants to assassinate Neptune, there is a 80% chance that he will find out that it is a stand-in rather than a direct attack.
Anyway, this attack and killing is inevitable. Neptune would rather bear the attack and killing from Su Xiao, because it is more like a process, and the attack and killing from the Poseidon Cult is really going to kill Neptune.
What’s even more wonderful is that after Neptune suffered this attack, he could take advantage of it to deal with the Poseidon Cult. This is not to throw dirty water, but the Poseidon Cult really arranged the attack, but before it could be used, Neptune was attacked and killed.
, but it doesn’t matter whether it’s used or not. Now that Neptune has caught the handle in this regard, he doesn’t have to step Poseidon into the mud. He has to shape it into a shape that Neptune likes, so he will let it go temporarily.
3. The priest will take advantage of the gap between Neptune to deal with the Poseidon Cult and Su Xiao to rescue the Dwarf King to steal 20% of the "Initial Mark" fragments from the Dark Eater.
The priest can be sure that as long as Su Xiao reaches the area around the main city of the Sea Tribe, he will attract the Dark Eaters. The world-destroying existence and the law-destroying shadow are mortal enemies. In order to confirm this, the priest has done a test before, and as a
The price of temptation, his current legend level is still -??? points.
The final result of the whole thing is probably that Su Xiao successfully rescued the Dwarf King, Neptune successfully dealt with the Poseidon Cult, and the priest obtained the 20% "Initial Mark" fragments.
The problem at hand is that just after the assassination was over and the people on Neptune's side were about to take action, Mo Lei, Yue Apostle, and Hao Mei had already gone to the workshop area before that.
You must know that the main city of the Sea Clan is not in turmoil now. The reason why Mo Lei and the other three can enter the workshop area so smoothly must be because the people under the Sea King turned a blind eye.
The problem also lies in this. Mo Lei, a shady girl, acts too calmly. She is so calm that she makes the old Yinbi Sea King and the priest secretly suspicious. They are not afraid of the three sisters of Tianqi, but they are afraid of the three sisters of Tianqi.
That method of destruction.
It is precisely because of this that the situation is deadlocked. Neptune desperately hopes that Su Xiao can rescue the Dwarf King, thereby cutting off the production of elemental artifacts from the Sea Clan. In this way, Neptune can gradually eliminate the relationship with the Dwarf King at the minimum cost.
Collaboration with Arcane Eternals.
In the final analysis, this cooperation was the result of the Poseidon Sect and the Presbyterian Church's attempt to lure the wolf into the house when they couldn't handle Neptune.
Why is there no movement from the Presbyterian Church at this time? That is of course because the thighs of Neptune's father are too strong. It seems that the Presbyterian Church is always against Neptune, but in fact, secretly, it has long been following the lead of Neptune. This is why the Poseidon Sect was forced
To the extent of assassinating Neptune, I actually want to hug Daddy Neptune's lap, but I was so disgusted with Neptune before that I have no chance.
"Are you saying that there is no movement from the Presbyterian Church? The Poseidon Sect prepared an assassination, but we intercepted it before we could take action?"
Su Xiao frowned and spoke, Baha nodded and said: "That's what happened. Similar information came from Caesar and Bubu."
Hearing this, Su Xiao muttered: "Really? It seems that Neptune and the priest did not take any follow-up action because they were afraid of us."
After pondering for a while, Su Xiao continued: "Baha, you go to the main city and tell Mo Lei, let the three of them take the Dwarf King and his disciples out of the main city of the Sea Tribe. Remember, you can only bring craftsmen from foreign races.
You cannot take away the sea craftsmen trained by the dwarf king."
"clear."
Baha flew away. Although he was full of doubts, he was more accustomed to following Su Xiao's instructions than asking questions.
After Baha flew away, Su Xiao pressed one hand on the ground. With a click, the metal disc hidden on the ground raised. He pulled the metal ring above and pulled out the "Sun Pillar" soaked with 100 Apollos inside.
This is actually Su Xiao's original plan. If attacking the Sea King is not enough to cause chaos in the main city of the Sea Clan, then give the Sea Clan a taste of this thing. Although the main city of the Sea Clan is protected by layers of magic, this thing
Even if it explodes above the Sea Clan, it is enough to plunge the main city of the Sea Clan into severe chaos.
But now it seems that the "Sun Pillar" is temporarily unavailable, and rescuing the Dwarf King is no longer a thorny issue. This matter has almost been successful. The real thorny issue at this time is to deal with the world-destroying existence that may come at any time.
Dark eaters.
After Su Xiao pulled out the "Sun Pillar", Xian Lulu, who was floating aside, swallowed her saliva and asked tentatively: "Bai Ye, aren't we going to throw this into the main city of the Sea Tribe?"
"Of course not, don't think about it."
"But, then why do you put it here in advance..."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't think of the reason for a moment, and walked towards a dense forest in the distance. Seeing this, Xian Lulu chose to follow.
Just after entering the dense forest, Su Xiao took out half of the candle and threw it to her side. Under Xian Lulu's gaze, the half of the candle suddenly disappeared, as if it was caught by some invisible being.
After Bubu Wang integrated into the environment and left, Su Xiao sensed the surroundings but did not sense the breath of a world-destroying existence. The world is so wonderful. Due to the entanglement of interests of all parties, Su Xiao has to bear the responsibility for rescuing the Dwarf King this time.
The biggest risk is not from the Sea Clan, but from the world-destroying existence, the Dark Eater.
To be more precise, it should be the calculation of the priest. Even if the world-destroying existence, the Dark Eater, does not notice Su Xiao, the priest will find a way to make that existence aware of the breath of the extinguishing method, so as to trace it.
this.
We went to Minguang Island not long ago, and Su Xiao closed the hole in the abyss and almost trapped the priest to death. However, the priest did not forget this. Now he is using Su Xiao to attract the world-destroying existence, the Dark Eater, so as to take advantage of the "
The "initial mark" fragment is obviously a 'courtesy exchange' for what happened last time.
In response to this, Su Xiao naturally had to come up with some 'return gifts' and ask Bubo Wang to send them to the priest. As for how Bubo Wang found the priest, that was naturally not a problem. Don't forget, they were discussing this cooperation in the Lord's Castle.
At that time, the priest drank tea, or in other words, it was the slow poison that tasted like tea. Although the priest was not afraid of the slow poison, Bubu could trace it based on the breath left by the slow poison.
Su Xiao looked at the ancient sea city in the distance. It was time to start setting up and prepare for the world-destroying existence, the Dark Eater, who was about to come to the door.
…
The main city of the Hai Clan·Gongfang District.
It was extremely hot inside the forging workshop. The fire in the furnace had just extinguished. At this moment, the space array enveloped the entire workshop. As it gathered together, it finally shrank into a black sphere. This fluctuation in ability obviously came from
Baja.
It is not difficult to seal the people in the workshop together with the workshop into a different space. What is difficult is how to avoid the perception of the sea tribe here. However, there is no need to worry about this problem now.
Letting the Dwarf King and his disciples temporarily enter the seal of a different space to leave this place is the best choice at the moment. After all, taking the Dwarf King away in an upright manner would really slap the face of the Hai Clan.
Baja covered a piece of black cloth on the sealing ball with strong spatial fluctuations. When he sneaked into this place, it had already been tested. The guards of the Sea King camp, after seeing it, acted as if it did not exist. This was obviously received.
Order, but this is not stable enough, and we will need to test it again in the future.
Theoretically speaking, this attack was actually a collaboration between Su Xiao, Neptune, and the priest. Because it was impossible for Su Xiao and Neptune to cooperate directly, there must be an intermediary like the priest.
"So, we can just use your space ability to teleport away?"
Mo Lei spoke, feeling relieved at this moment. Before, she suspected that this was a trap, but now it seems that it is not.
"Of course not. This different space seal is not stable. You take it and we leave on foot."
"?"
Mo Lei was confused. After holding up the alien space ball, she looked at Baha in confusion, not quite understanding what the other party meant.
At this moment, the sound of neat armor clashing came from the corner of the street. It was a patrol team of more than ten people. Seeing this scene, Mo Lei thought to herself that it was over.
At the corner of the street, the patrol leader who was walking at the front paused. The reason was that the scene he saw was different from usual. But it was so different that he didn't realize it for a while. After taking a closer look, he suddenly realized that the worker standing there was
The shop has disappeared!
This situation made the inspection captain's eyes twitch hard. He was about to ask his subordinates to go investigate when he suddenly remembered what his immediate superior said to him ten minutes ago. This made his eyesight suddenly "diminished", and with a
The subordinates were patrolling and passing by on the street.
Mo Lei, who was ready to take action, stood there at a loss. She looked at Baha and found that Baha had disappeared, leaving only a route map.
After all, Baha is Su Xiao's follower, so it would be inappropriate to show up here. Mo Lei and the other three walked quickly in an alley according to the route map, but as they walked, Mo Lei felt that this place was like a maze.
Moreover, the route map was very confusing. Seeing this, Hao Mei took the route map and walked at the front. The female swordsman, who was a bit road-crazy, began to lead the way.
Turning east and west, under the guidance of Hao Mei, the road became wider and wider, and got closer and closer to the city wall in the distance. As long as we reached the city wall on the other side, we would be able to leave here safely.
But after turning a corner, this narrow alley a few meters wide was filled with members of the patrol team. Several of them were playing cards. They came here specifically to avoid suspicion so as not to encounter those "distinguished guests". The team leader was stunned.
, one of the squad leaders whose face was covered with notes twitched his cheeks and continued playing cards.
Mo Lei and the other three people quickly exited. The three of them looked at each other. The look in their eyes meant that they had agreed to each other that they must not reveal to the outside world what happened today when they walked into the enemy for no apparent reason.
It’s on the “Event Ranking List”.
Baha in the dark, after seeing the reactions of the patrol team members in the narrow alley, has basically determined the attitude of Neptune. This is very important, because how to pass the outermost defense line of the workshop area is the biggest difficulty of this trip. At the moment, it seems
Come on, that difficulty no longer exists.
As for why Mo Lei and the other three walked into the enemy pile, it was of course Baha's 'mistake' in drawing the wrong picture. However, fundamentally speaking, this was not a trick on his teammates. He had to test the patrol team's reaction many times first.
The key is, otherwise, once the imperial guards on the periphery suddenly turn against each other, it is really unknown whether Mo Lei and others can escape. Even if they have life-saving props, they are the most elite imperial guards in the main city of the Sea Tribe.
At the same time, in the back streets of the main city, there was a dark, damp underground palace.
Zhiqua~
The dilapidated metal door was pushed open. After the priest walked inside, he stopped in front of a stone platform on the inside. He opened the wooden box above and found several fragments of the "Initial Imprint" quietly placed in it.
Seeing this, the smile on the priest's face became more kind. He closed the wooden box, picked it up and prepared to leave. But when he turned around, he found half a candle placed under the open door frame. This candle looked like some kind of candle.
It was made of grease, as if it had been burned entirely, with some parts showing a sense of darkness, and the firelight on the candle core revealed a cold red color.
The moment he saw this thing, the kind smile on the priest's face suddenly froze, and the atmosphere in the secret room where he was in gradually became hellish.
The priest plotted against Su Xiao and asked the world-destroying existence, the Dark Eater, to find Su Xiao. Now, Su Xiao invited the candle girl to say hello to the priest.
