Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 605 Scarborough Hill

The Napoleon is docked at the pier just north of Juvert Island.

When La Rochelle's mission got off the ship, it happened to see a huge warship with a square head sailing into the pier tens of meters away from them.

The flag hangs high on the mast, waving flamboyantly in the sea breeze. The dragon's head is drawn with a bright red line on the black background, as if a giant dragon with wings spread is soaring.

That is the battle standard of Alma St. Emma.

The face of the La Rochelle man suddenly sank.

Connor Drake, who sent them off the ship and hadn't returned to the deck, squinted his eyes at the warships entering the port, unaware of the expressions of the La Rochelle people around him, and praised: "The Paladin-class fearless Ship, super heavy firepower, huge magic shield, can be called a sea fortress, the hands of the people of Ao San Emma are really..."

He boasted halfway before realizing the identities of his employers, and quickly shut up.

"My lord, shall we wait for them to disembark?" A knight of the Assault Knights asked, and Cyril squinted at him. "Why, respectfully greet the people of Ao San Emma on the shore to disembark?"

"I definitely didn't mean that..." the knight blushed and shouted with his head raised.

Of course, Cyril was only joking. He waved his hand and signaled the knight to back down.

But Blake Evans was worried, and said extremely seriously: "If the people of Ao San Emma just want to participate in this general election, they will not choose to take the Paladin-class dreadnought. This is an absolute battlefield warship."

"What do you mean?" Cyril looked at him.

Cyril does not understand these diplomatic details, but Blake Evans has achieved the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs all the way, leading his family to the promotion, relying on his outstanding personal ability and rigorous attitude .

"The people of Ao San Emma have other plans. I suspect that they have other ships lurking around New Orway Harbor." Black said in a deep voice, "I will let Qing... his ships go to investigate."

After hearing this, Cyril understood the seriousness of the matter.

Indeed, it would be no surprise that Pelagius Heris, the future Emperor of Saint Emma, ​​could be present in person.

Fortunately, the opponent was not cunning enough to hide the big boat, show up in a small boat, and then use the big boat to launch an attack at a critical moment, so that the experienced Black had an insight into the opponent's intentions in advance.

Eufredo used to be a volcanic island with a high center and low sides.The main hall of the Harbor Sanctuary is built on the mountain in the center of Ufo Island, and the high tower is in the center of the main hall, so high that you can have a panoramic view of the entire island.

To go to the main hall of the Harbor Temple, you need to go down the mountain first.

The carriage to receive the mission had already been arranged, and they boarded the carriage.The "tour guide" arranged by the Harbor Temple—actually also a priest, introduced the story of Ufo Island to everyone in the carriage.

"The Isle of Urera, known as 'Urera's teardrop', is the teardrop of the great Urera. It is said that the endless abyss comes from the depths of the ocean. Master Urera holds a halberd and rolls The vortex stirs the entire ocean with half of its divine power, and seals the abyss at the bottom of the sea. And the tears that he shed during that battle fell on this place, and it became Ufo Island."

"The mountain in the center of Ufo Island is called Scarborough, which is the name of Lord Urella's mount. Below the mountain is the pavilion built by our temple..."

It is said to be an exhibition hall at the foot of the mountain, but in fact the foot of the mountain has become a very lively market.The main products sold are some souvenirs made by the Harbor Temple, or amulets, necklaces, and rings.

There are rumors that when newcomers in Port New Orway get married, they go to the Scarborough Bazaar to choose jewelry, so that they can get Urella's blessing.

They got off in front of the market, and the horse-drawn carriages went to the pier to meet a new batch of missions.There is still some time before the election ceremony begins, and Cyril and the others are not busy climbing the mountain either.

They simply walked into the bazaar, and their ears were immediately filled with the sound of pipe music - that is a unique instrument in Xinaowei Port, called "Ska" pipe, about the length of a palm, and the sound is similar to Kazoo has nothing to do with elegance.

"It's so noisy." Mia said in a disgusted tone, but she couldn't help showing a smile on her face: Those who played the small instrument were a group of children, with round faces, baby fat, and wearing colorful clothes. Thin clothes dance while blowing.

A child noticed Mia's gaze, so he ran up to Mia excitedly, took out a new ska tube from his arms, held it up and asked, "Does pretty sister want to play too?"

"No need..." Mia waved her hand, but the child refused to let go, and raised the ska tube higher, and the children on the side also came up, Kiki said: "Beautiful sister, blow one, blow it One!"

In desperation, Mia had no choice but to take the tube, put it to her mouth and exhale lightly, and then heard the sound of "Puff, huh" coming out of the tube.

It's like farting.

"Beautiful sister, so stupid, so stupid!" The children started booing again, Mia blushed, then wrapped the tube with water elements, cleaned it, and handed it back to the child: "Give it back to you, my sister won't blow."

But the child looked at the ska pipe she handed over, his eyes widened, and his head shook like a rattle: "Sister, if you blow it, it's yours, you have to pay me."

"Ah?" Mia thought she hadn't heard clearly, before she retracted her hand, she heard the children on the side say in unison: "Beautiful sister, if you blow it, it's yours, and you have to pay for it."

"Here, aren't you buying and selling by force!" Mia tried to argue, but Cyril on the side had already stepped forward.

He took out the money bag from his pocket, took out a golden Solid, and waved it in front of the child.

The latter immediately stretched out his hand to reach it, but Cyril withdrew his hand, pretending to be distressed, and said in a drawn-out voice: "Oh, although you sold the ska tube, you couldn't have sold it without their help. Get out, right?"

"But there is only one Solidid, how do you divide it? You shouldn't be able to exchange the Solidid into coins with a small denomination, right?"

He smiled and bent down, put one hand on his knee, and threw Solid in the air with the other, and then said slowly:

"How about—you guys, fight? Whoever wins, I'll give him Solid..."

Before the words were finished, the children on the side had already aimed at the child who sold the musical instrument, surrounded him, and started punching and kicking him.

The children fell into chaos, and no one noticed that Cyril had straightened up and returned to the queue.

"Mr. Wei..." Mia looked at him embarrassingly, still holding the ska tube in her hand, quite embarrassed.

"The children of New Aowei Hong Kong people are the smartest. They like to make money and be greedy for cheap. They learn those dirty methods faster than anything else." Cyril said softly: "New Aowei Hong Kong people are such a nation , most of them are. If you do business with them, it’s not bad if you don’t lose money.”

When Cyril said this, he was also thinking in his heart whether the cooperation he had reached with the Auditore family was reliable——

He analyzed it carefully, and suddenly found that this seemed to be a deal that completely lost money to him—is there any definite benefit to him from targeting Alvin Saxon?Perhaps the only thing to do is to temporarily stop the slave trade in Port New Orway, and the rest of the matters, including normal commerce and trade, tariffs, etc., can be coordinated through diplomatic negotiations.

But what is he paying for?Trapped in a potential crisis, it's not even clear how many enemies there are, and there's Ao San Emma watching...

According to Alexios, it was the mission of the Auditore family to deal with cancerous elements like Ivan Saxon.

Calculated in this way, the other party completely forced part of his own mission into Cyril's hands, without even paying anything.

What a bloody business.

Cyril couldn't help but shook his head. If he didn't calculate it like this, he would really think that this was a win-win cooperation for both parties.

But he didn't feel the heartache of being hit hard.With Nora's warning and multiple sources of information, he already knew that this journey had something to do with the crisis.

And the night Nora attached to Miss Misha gave him a strong premonition.

He may be very close to the reason why he came to this world.

The road leading to the main hall was built around the mountain. The road was wide and flat, and could accommodate five carriages in parallel—this was already a very exaggerated width for the mountain road.

The carriage pulled everyone up to the top of the mountain, and what appeared before their eyes was a rather majestic building—three arches designed at the front end of a crown, made of white jade stones, with a halo surrounding the arches in the sunlight around, sacred and inviolable.

"The shape of the main hall is designed according to Lord Urella's head crown. Except for the main entrance facing north, the 'Sea God Cannon' developed by our temple is placed in the southeast, northwest, and used to suppress possible invasions of Xin'ao. Weigang giant monster."

"The power of the Poseidon Cannon is astonishing. Each firing requires a large amount of magic spar and will cause certain damage to Mount Scarborough. Therefore, we will not use the Poseidon Cannon unless necessary..."

The priest who introduced him boasted about his weapons, but Cyril and the others just responded casually—since they couldn’t be fired, there was no need to care about them at all.

But a voice sounded from behind them, with a hint of teasing:
"Your Poseidon Cannon is so powerful? Why do I think it's not as good as the Sky Splitting Crossbow at the headquarters of our Alma St. Emma and Primordial Church?"

Cyril turned his head, and at some point the people of St. Emma had come behind them, and the leader, Pelaggios, was making fun of the nun who was leading the way.

"Ah, what is the Sky-Splitting Crossbow?" The nun obviously had never heard of this thing, but she heard Pelaggios said quietly, "There is a record in the Church of the Origin, in the Second Era, a crossbow bolt from the Sky-Splitting Crossbow, half The sky is shot through, although the existing Sky Splitting Crossbow is an imitation version, but the degree of restoration has reached 70.00%, I wonder what results your Sea God Cannon has achieved?"

Blake frowned when he heard the words behind him, and couldn't help but whispered to Cyril: "Does he think this is bragging in a tavern? Who is this person? Why is he standing in front of Hubert's dog?"

Cyril whispered: "Minister, pay attention, he is the prince of Saint Emma I mentioned, Pelagius Herris."

"He's the prince?" Blake looked at Pelaggios again and again, and whispered again: "It doesn't look like his father at all, Uriel has a square face, but he has a pointed face... "

"Shh! He's looking at us." Cyril quickly gestured. He didn't expect Black to be so big, and he would talk about this kind of topic when he opened his mouth.

But it was a coincidence that Pelaggios' eyes fell on Cyril's side at this time, and then he showed a rather ambiguous smile.

"Ah, Lord Adrian, we meet again."

"Your Excellency." Cyril couldn't dodge deliberately, so he could only bite the bullet and walked forward, smiling: "What a coincidence, I thought that an event like the opening ceremony would be looked down upon by Your Excellency."

"Although it is true, but thinking of the opportunity to meet Earl Adrian, I don't think I should miss this opportunity." Pelaggios smiled, glanced at Black deliberately, and then said: "Earl Adrian, I don’t know what you’re thinking about? There’s a large piece of territory on the east side of Alma St. Emma that’s vacant…”

His voice was loud, as if he wanted to be heard by the people beside Cyril.These words made Blake look at Cyril in a different way, and even the knights couldn't help casting their eyes on Cyril at this moment, as if they were asking: Sir Earl, are you quietly fighting with the prince of the enemy country? Plotting, ready to mutiny?

And Cyril immediately saw through the intention of Pelaggios' words full of wickedness, and immediately said:

"Indeed, I think Your Excellency's proposal is very good. I will advise Her Royal Highness to send troops to the east of the Nora Corridor, just to relieve Your Excellency's worries."

When Pelaggios heard this, he raised his head and laughed loudly, without refuting, he went straight back to the queue of the Osan Emma people.

Cyril breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of the other party's future identity, he couldn't help being a little more jealous of Pelaggios.

"My lord, is there anything else?" Blake calmed down, knowing that his worries were nonsense, so he asked Cyril.Seeing that Cyril shook his head, he immediately spoke and ordered the team to move on.

There are also three floors inside the Harbor Temple, the gate is located on the lowest floor, and the building is mostly used for living and daily life.The opening ceremony was on the second floor, in a huge square.

The square is located under the Uriah Tower. When they entered the range of the second floor, they could see that the middle of the square was separated by a dark shadow—at this time, the sunlight fell, just letting the Uriah Tower The shadow of the square divides the square in two.

And this square is where the opening ceremony is held.
