Chapter 371 The situation is fermenting, asking for help from Blue Rose
"You mean...the person behind the missing persons case has been arrested?"
"But, it's only been less than five hours since we separated."
"A person? Mr. Feifei, what do you mean by 'a person'?"
"That's it...Okay, I understand, thank you for your hard work."
"I'm very sorry. I still have some things to deal with today. See you tomorrow."
In the princess's palace, Lana showed a flawless gentle smile and took the initiative to interrupt the magic contact.
As she spoke, an expensive scroll in front of her began to burn violently.
But Lana didn't seem to hear it, and just murmured to herself: "You have a secret that can change the world. Ha, I really underestimate you..."
After coming back to her senses, she gently stroked her delicate lips, "Now, I'm a little interested."
However, pleasure was pleasure, and she did not forget about business. She took off her long white gloves, revealing the bloody five-pointed star printed on the back of her hand.
He waved his hand to outline the magic circle in mid-air.
In the blink of an eye, a strong and unknown magical power sealed the palace.
At the same time, a dark shadow with an unclear face formed in front of Lana.
"It seems that you already know the news." Black Shadow chuckled.
Lana was also smiling, her smile was cold and twisted, "Yeah, I didn't expect Mr. Jojo to be even better than we thought."
The old black shadow god said: "This is not surprising. He is very strong. He can almost be said to be the strongest human being."
"The Strongest Human Being"?
Lana was slightly stunned and couldn't help but ask, "If he is a fully armed warrior captain, how does Gazef Stronov compare to him?"
"I understand what you mean... I can tell you with certainty that the so-called warrior is nothing in front of him." The black shadow said calmly.
As he spoke, he gathered black energy and transformed in front of Lana the scene that happened in the underground dark lair a few hours ago.
Even though Lana's mind was different from ordinary people, when she saw the majestic holy light of the apocalypse, she couldn't help but cover her mouth slightly to show her surprise.
But then, uncontrollable greed emerged from the bottom of her heart - she must get this man!
Of course, this does not mean that she has any admiration for Jon, but simply a deep desire for a 'good tool'.
Clem is good.
But it’s just ‘not bad’.
From the mouths of powerful warriors such as the warrior captain, Lana had already known that 'her boy' would have limited achievements in this life.
In brutal political struggles, strong personal force is essential.
She didn't see her father being so mediocre and incompetent that he almost made the nobles useless, but he still sat firmly on the throne and enjoyed his life in peace.
It’s not because Gazef Stronov, the “strongest warrior”, is the king’s loyal dog!
——No great nobleman in this country can bear the full revenge of the warrior captain.
But then again, how should she win over a strong man like Jojo?
that power?
status?
wealth?
Or... beauty?
Somehow, when this idea came to her mind, Lana felt a little wet somewhere on her body.
It's like meeting a person for the first time, and you don't feel anything about his ordinary appearance. But after you know that he is the richest man in the world, his ordinary appearance will become more pleasing to the eye...
"I can tell by your expression that you are planning something." Heiying's tone was brisk, as if he was happy to see such a development.
Lana did not hide it, blinked and said: "Ah, did you see it?"
The conversation changed, "Lord Jaldabaoth, what do you think I should do?"
"How to do it?" Black Shadow said with deep meaning: "You already have the answer in your mind about how to do it, don't you? Why bother asking me."
Lana seemed to be murmuring to the black shadow demon opposite her deliberately, "I like people to show that pitiful puppy-like expression in front of me the most.
Whether it’s Climb or anyone else, when I meet someone I like, I can’t help but want to take off my shoes and step on their head with my foot.”
""Let me guess, this is the reward you give them? What a bad taste." The shadow put his finger between his eyebrows, as if there was a glasses store on it.
After pondering for a moment, he added: "The conflict between Jojo and the nobles has a lot of room for manipulation. If possible, I hope you can start from this aspect."
"As expected of Lord Jaldabaoth, he guessed my thoughts perfectly." Lana raised her skirt and gave a noble salute to the black shadow demon in front of her, "I will arrange this matter well, please wait.
My good news."
"If that's the case, that would be great." Black Shadow nodded appreciatively.
At this moment, Lana's ears twitched slightly and she apologized to the black shadow: "I'm extremely sorry, Lord Jaldabaoth, I have something going on here."
The Shadow Demon expressed understanding.
Immediately, Lana disconnected her magic power, and the black energy that sealed the palace disappeared.
Seven or eight seconds later, Clem, who was wearing pure white armor, walked into the palace with a little restraint. When he saw Princess Lana, he bowed his head very respectfully, "Your Royal Highness, the eldest prince sent a messenger, saying that he is looking for you.
.”
Lana's heart moved, knowing that this was a warning from the legitimate heir of the kingdom about her being too active during this period.
But she didn't show any strange expression. She just said softly, "Your Majesty the Emperor? Okay, I understand. Climb, please tell the messenger that I will change my clothes and go see the Emperor."
"As you command, Your Highness Princess." Climb lowered his head deeply, not daring to look directly into Lana's eyes.
After hesitating in his heart, he finally voiced his worries, "Well... Your Highness, there are rumors recently that the eldest prince seems to be a little... dissatisfied with you?"
Clem knew that his status shouldn't say such things, but to him, Lana was the only light in his life.
——He was afraid that this innocent and kind princess would be harmed by the cold and cruel eldest prince!
"What are you talking about, Clem? After all, that man is also my brother. As a brother, how can he be dissatisfied with his sister?" Lana covered her mouth and chuckled.
Under the sunshine, wearing a long white dress, she looked like a lily that was not stained by dust.
Climb couldn't help but raise his head and was stunned for a moment.
It took him a long time before he realized how rude his behavior was. He quickly lowered his head again, blushed and said, "Yes, Your Highness! I am too sensitive, Your Highness, please forgive me."
That's right, that's the look in his eyes, as harmless as a small animal's.
From an angle that Climb couldn't see, Lana's smile collapsed, and her entire face seemed to have melted and became extremely weird.
"I really want to eat it like this... No, I have to be patient... But I still want to eat it..."
The sun shone in and fell on the two of them, casting long, long shadows, like two intertwined snakes.
…
…
Although Jon had expected it, the accountability from the major families was still more intense than he imagined.
There was no other way. Many of the scum he killed that day were the first heirs of the family, and some were even the head of the family.
——The decay of the kingdom is evident.
Back to business.
The angry nobles joined forces to put pressure on the king to find the culprit.
It was Princess Lana's firm support that saved Jon from jail.
But even so, the 'Phantom Troupe' has become a taboo in the subjugated country.
The names of Feifei, Nabe, Ryuka and Jojo have also become legends passed down by adventurers.
The Royal Capital, the Adventurers Guild.
"This is so ridiculous. Jojo did nothing wrong at all."
"Calm down, just because he did nothing wrong doesn't mean it's satisfactory."
"The reason is not because of the nobility. Hey, those gentlemen who are glamorous on the surface secretly have more fun than anyone else. Let me tell you, he did a good job!"
"Be careful, what if someone hears this?"
"You heard it when you heard it."
"It's just that - we are adventurers. If we can't survive in the kingdom, we should just go to the empire. The world is so big, there will definitely be a place for us to stay."
"good!"
The atmosphere was extremely warm.
Almost everyone is talking about the recent big case.
Because its impact not only solved the human trafficking problem that has plagued the royal capital for many years, but also tore off the fig leaf surrounding the nobles...
Elegant and decent?
Nonsence.
In one word, disgusting!
On the second floor of the Adventurer's Guild, everyone at 'Blue Rose' listened silently to the discussions of other adventurers, with different expressions on their faces.
Kong Wu's powerful female warrior Ge Gelan showed a generous smile, "Although I have never met, that guy named Jojo is quite talented. If he is sentenced to death by the king, I don't mind these three hundred kilograms, let me
A good man like this should have a good time before he dies."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Gegelan." "Are you trying to help him, or are you trying to help yourself? I heard that the Holy Light Priest who destroyed the underground dark nest was a rare handsome man."
Ninja sisters Tia and Tina couldn't help complaining.
It didn't matter to Gegelan that his thoughts were exposed. He spread his hands and said, "If you help him, you will also help me. Mom, I like this kind of courageous man best. Why, can't you?"
At this time, Lakyus, the leader of the Blue Rose, spoke up to stop the veteran driver who was driving endlessly, "Okay, Gegelan, shut up first."
But the demon swordsman who owned the demon sword "Qiliniram" frowned and said in a deep voice: "I suspect that there is the shadow of 'Eight Fingers' behind this matter."
"Don't even think about it?"
Gegelan grinned, "Not long ago, we burned down the Eight Fingers plantation, and then their slave department also suffered a fatal blow, and even the person in charge was captured alive and sent to prison.
If you want to say that the revenge against Jojo and the Phantom Troupe is not secretly led by Eight Fingers, I will eat the table in front of me directly."
"If that's the case, I would like to see you eating from the table." Suddenly, the thin figure with a mask on his face spoke calmly.
Gegelan curled his lips and said, "What, Ibiruai, you have been listening to us. Seeing that you have been silent, I thought you fell asleep sitting down."
Ibiruai, the only magic caster in the team, shook his head speechlessly, "Geglan, if your brain could be like your muscles, we would have uprooted the Eight Fingers long ago."
"How dare you say that, little Douding~" Ge Gelan showed no sign of weakness.
Seeing that the bickering among the group members was about to start again, Lakyus slapped the table and said, "Okay!"
She crossed her fingers on the table and said, "This incident has sounded the alarm for us. Everyone is well aware of the situation in the kingdom. I don't think this is a very good base."
"The kingdom is rotten, but it rots so freely that I don't want to leave anyway." Gegelan said with an indifferent expression.
No one else spoke.
Lakyus sighed softly, "You guys..."
At this moment, a tall and burly figure walked up to the second floor, "Excuse me, is 'Blue Rose' here?"
Looking around, he saw a warrior whose entire body was covered in pitch black stainless steel armor, wearing a full-face helmet, and behind his back were two large swords as tall as a person.
This feature...
Lakyus tentatively said: "Are you Momon from the Phantom Troupe?"
"Haha, I didn't expect that I am already so famous." Ainz, whose pseudonym was Feifei, deliberately smiled bitterly, "Lakyus-dono, I am here to ask for your help to rescue my family members."
Lakyus was stunned for a moment, then looked left and right. However, because it was on the second floor, there was no one around, so she lowered her voice and said, "Are you crazy? Do you know what this means?
!”
"We have no choice. We are just following the princess's orders. We have no choice but to kill those nobles. Then again, who knew there would be nobles in a place like that?" Ainz said helplessly.
He looked at Lakyus and said, "Now my family members are being imprisoned in the palace under the protection of the princess. Although there is no name for being imprisoned, they are actually imprisoned. And I think that even Her Royal Highness the Princess cannot calm down this situation, so
…”
"So you thought of asking us for help. But have you ever thought about why we should help you?" Lakyus asked back.
Feifei smiled, "Because, you are Blue Rose."
Adventurers also have good and bad reputations.
Among the people, the image of 'Blue Rose' has always been strong and full of justice...
For a moment, everyone was silent and turned their attention to Lakyus.
Lakyus pinched her eyebrows because she had a headache, "Mr. Feifei, you have given me a big problem."
Ainz knew that the person opposite him was already shaken, so he simply added fuel to the fire, "Captain Lakyus, please think carefully. The more we hesitate here, the more danger Jojo will face in the palace."
Perhaps, the killer sent by the nobles has already reached his side!"
Hearing this, the expression on Lakyus's face became more solemn.
but.
The actual situation was slightly different from what Ainz said.
After entering the palace, Jon, under the protection of the princess, ate a lot of food every day, without any sense of nervousness about impending disaster.
Lana had expected this.
After all, he is the strongest human being, so he is confident and understandable.
But what Lana can't understand is that when she wants to tentatively contact the other party, the other party not only refuses to come, but even wants to double it!
Just like now.
She just touched the other person's hand lightly in the name of feeding him snacks.
As a result, I accidentally...
In the bedroom, Princess Lana covered her face shyly, "That's so rude, Mr. Jojo, can you please put your pants on first?"
