"In the beginning, this was really just an ordinary business shipping trip. I even brought my son and daughter to play in the Four Islands Alliance."
Mr Morgan recalled:
"Two days before my ship was ready to depart, an adult from the Council of Sages contacted me and asked me to help him with a private job.
He said it very easily at the time, just asking me to meet the client at the designated place with the token, and then take the things the client gave me back to America and give them to him... I didn't think much about it at the time.
It wasn't until I met the client at the Four Islands Alliance with the token according to his instructions that I realized that this business was a big trouble... But the deal was done. From the moment I knew the client's identity, I couldn't get out of it. Couldn't refuse. "
"...So, the identity of the client you met is very special?"
Elsess asked with a frown.
"That's right, Your Royal Highness."
Mr. Morgan nodded, but did not directly tell the identity of the customer. Instead, he suddenly mentioned another thing:
"About half a year ago, Chiba Rui, the second daughter of the Chiba family, a famous anti-demon ninja family in the Four Islands Alliance, successfully killed a high-level fog demon with a humanoid form in a sea encounter. Did you hear about this? Have you passed?"
Elsess obviously didn't know, and the naval officers in the room also frowned.
Killing a fog demon by a demon ninja is as natural as a paladin killing a cultist. The intelligence department rarely pays special attention to it, and the naval officers don't know about it either.
Moreover, the record of killing high-level mist demons in humanoid form is indeed excellent, but it is almost the same as the paladin killing the glorious cultist, and even worse than Valencia's time.
Valensa was only at the Pearl level when she killed the Yao-level cultists, but Qianye Rui has been in the Yao-level for many years. She is also a swordsman genius in the Four Islands Alliance and has the title of [Ninja Sword Master]. Such a character Killing a high-level fog demon is nothing to be surprised about, right?
Valencia knew about this, but that was just when Qianye Cao had breakfast with her in the college restaurant. She casually said, "Second sister, she killed another high-level fog demon." Everyone sighed together and said something like "Your sister is so amazing" and the whole thing passed.
"I know it's normal for Taimanin to kill the Mist Demon, but this time it's different."
Mr. Morgan did not pretend to be mysterious and soon announced the answer himself:
“Everyone should know that usually the only way we can kill fog demons is to destroy the core in their bodies and let them disperse in the wind like mist.
But the Chiba family is an anti-demon ninja family that specializes in fighting the fog demons, and Chiba Rui is a person in this family who can definitely be called a genius... I don't know how she did it, but in short, she did it without destroying In the case of the Fog Demon Core, he killed the high-level Fog Demon and obtained what can be said to be the first intact Fog Demon Core since humans fought against the Fog Demon. It was also a high-level Fog Demon Core. "
Now everyone's expressions changed, and they all understood what Mr. Morgan meant.
"...You mean, after Qianye Rui obtained this high-level fog demon core, she wanted to sell this core to the Council of Sages?" Elsess asked with a frown.
"no no……"
Mr. Morgan shook his head again:
"As we all know, the sisters Qianye Xin and Qianye Rui of the Qianye family are both the favorite concubines of Lord Himiko, the ruler of the Four Islands Alliance. How could Qianye Rui do such a thing?
However, Qianye Rui did hide the fact that she obtained the core of the high-level Mist Demon. She wanted to make the core into a piece of jewelry and give it to Lord Himiko as a gift during the New Year, as a way to compete with her own sister for favor. means.
However, although Qianye Rui is a genius in swordsmanship, she knows nothing about jewelry processing. She can only entrust a trusted craftsman to make the high-level fog demon core into jewelry.
It's a pity that Qianye Rui made a mistake this time. The craftsman she entrusted was my client, and he was also someone who knew the Mist Demon very well. During the processing, he recognized the core of the high-level Mist Demon and spent a lot of time. I tried my best to make a fake, but lost the genuine one. "
"Your client can actually recognize the core of a high-level fog demon?"
Elsess grasped the key point after being reminded by a naval staff officer:
"Then his identity must not be simple, right?"
"Yes."
Mr. Morgan nodded:
"You must all know about the Tsuchimikado clan who wanted to control the Mist Demon through shikigami magic back then, but was turned into a licking dog by the Mist Demon, and was eventually exterminated by the Queen of Demons Himiko?
My client is a descendant of the Tsuchimikado clan... His ancestor happened to be practicing as a disciple in the Sage Tower at that time, and escaped the genocide. Later, he returned to the Four Islands Alliance incognito and never gave up in these years. "
"The survivors of the Tsuchimikado clan... That's no wonder. I remember that the wanted order for them has not been revoked by Himiko. If the people of the Four Islands Alliance find out that you are actually secretly talking to the survivors of the Tsuchimikado clan, Get in touch and you'll probably stay there forever."
Elsess sighed and asked again:
"So? Could it be that the Earth Gate Sect stole the core of the high-level Mist Demon and sold it to the Council of Sages because he wanted to take revenge on Lord Himiko?"
"No...it's better to say exactly the opposite."
Mr. Morgan shook his head and shrugged, as if it was difficult to understand:
"The descendants of Tsuchimikado hope that Sage Tower will help him study the core of high-level fog demons to completely unravel the secrets of natural disasters such as fog demons, to prove that his ancestors did not do anything wrong, and to allow Tsuchimikado to The door has once again been favored by the Queen of Ghosts... I have to admit that the Queen of Ghosts does manage her subordinates well, and her subordinates are quite loyal."
"So this is ah……"
Valencia, the others, and Fran's naval officers all nodded, so that the cause and effect of the matter would be easier to understand.
It was precisely because of the core of the high-level fog demon that the Morgan family's ship was attacked by a new type of high-level fog demon that had never appeared in human records.And there is a high probability that the core of the high-level fog demon is still in Mr. Morgan.
"Everyone's guess is correct, the core of the high-level fog demon is indeed still with me."
Faced with everyone's questioning gazes, Mr. Morgan nodded calmly and said something that made people exclaim:
"Actually, the reason why I was seriously injured was intentional... because this high-level fog demon core cannot be transported through space, nor can it be stored in a storage space. But I can't deal with this kind of thing with my children and Rick. Sir, they explained in detail that they could only seriously injure themselves and wait for rescue.
Of course, I would take such a risk because I heard about your mission to America as an envoy. I calculated the time and you should be able to rescue us in time, so I did that. "
Chapter 37 Magic version of intercontinental missile?
After explaining the cause and effect of the matter, Mr. Morgan stopped hiding it and simply took out the high-level fog demon core to satisfy everyone's curiosity.
It was an apple-sized cube, basically transparent, and the material felt like crystal. There was a silver metal substance the size of a fingernail in the center of the crystal cube.
No one else thinks there is anything strange about the core of the high-level fog demon. Although they can't understand it, the existence of the fog demon is a bunch of mysteries, so they shouldn't be able to understand it.
If a group of naval officers who are not engaged in research can see the secret of the core of the high-level fog demon at a glance, why do they need the Sage Tower?
But Valencia and Tia, who already had a certain understanding of technological civilization from the game console, looked at each other with rather strange expressions.
Neither of them could see anything about the translucent cube outside the core of the high-level fog demon, but why did the silver-white metal object the size of a fingernail inside look so much like a chip?
This fog demon...could it be actually a product of technology?It obviously looks more magical than a monster...
Guessing in their minds, Valenza and Tia remained silent, just silently memorizing the appearance of the core of the high-level fog demon, planning to ask a knowledgeable witch elder sister when they had the opportunity.
But Elsess and the naval officers soon ran into trouble again.
Since the core of the high-level fog demon is still with Mr. Morgan, the new type of fog demon capable of destroying large warships is likely to attack again.
Although the French navy is not afraid, they do not want to cause trouble.
In addition, Mr. Morgan's private transactions with the Tsuchimikado family clearly violated the laws of the Four Islands Alliance. Even if he was kicked out of the fleet and left to fend for himself, it would be completely justified.
But after all, Fran and America are friends of the same human government, and Mr. Morgan has a transcendent existence like the Sage Tower behind him. It would be very bad to really drive Mr. Morgan out of the fleet.
But how to deal with this high-level fog demon core, everyone is talking about it.
Some people say that they should help Mr. Morgan continue to send the core of the high-level fog demon to America and hand it over to the Sage Tower for research and analyze the secrets of the fog demon.
Some people say that the core of the high-level fog demon should be returned to the Four Islands Alliance, so that the super powerful Queen of Ghosts, Himiko, can owe a favor.
Others believe that the core of the high-level fog demon should be retained and Frank should study it himself.
Mr. Morgan himself didn't care. He said that since he had chosen to tell the truth, he was naturally ready to accept any result... The only requirement was that if the fleet chose to return the high-level fog demon core to the Four Island Alliance Or if he stays, he won't take the blame at the Sage Tower.
The naval officers at the fleet command discussed for a long time before reaching a consensus:
This kind of decision involving the secret of the Fog Demon, one of the three major natural disasters, is too important to be decided by the young officers here, not even the royal princess Elsess.
If this is the case, then simply report all the situation to the big shots truthfully, let them make the decision and let them take the blame.
It would be best to have a force that can convince everyone to make peace in the middle, and let the Queen of Ghosts Himiko and the Sage Tower reach a consensus to avoid conflicts, and everyone will be happy.
There is obviously only one force in human civilization that can do this.
So in the end, it was Valencia who first reported the cause and effect of the matter to the Sun Church through the Sun Church's magical communication method, and requested the Sun Church to mediate.
After Valensa received feedback from the church headquarters and agreed to mediate the matter, Elsess and Tia informed the ghosts of the Four Islands Alliance about the matter through the royal family's diplomatic communication means and the Sage Tower's internal communication means respectively. Queen Himiko and the Seventh Sage from the Tower of Sages.
After that, we just waited for the news. I don’t know how the big shots communicated. Anyway, almost five hours passed. Mr. Morgan, who was relatively weak, fell asleep on the table. Only then did the three of them receive replies from the big shots at the same time. .
The ending is quite satisfying... The big shots reached a consensus and agreed to send the core of the high-level Mist Demon to the Sage Tower for research in order to analyze the secrets of the Mist Demon. The escort mission was carried out by Elsess as envoy to America. This fleet bears.
Considering that the Fog Demon might send top combat forces to snatch or destroy this core that should be very important to them, the Sage Tower and the Sun Church provided some additional combat support.
Tia provided the spatial coordinates for the Sage Tower. Once the fleet encounters a powerful fog demon, she can use teleportation magic to shake people at any time and call three sages, including her teacher the Seventh Sage, to come for help.
The Church of the Sun gave Valencia a temporary authorization. If necessary, Valensa can use her own magical guidance to activate an artifact located at the headquarters of the Church of the Sun in the Divine Continent, and attack the target across three points. A super long-range strike from an Eve star.
The saint who used magic to remotely empower Valencia was very confident when talking about the artifact:
"This is an artifact that can directly use part of the power of the Goddess Crown! As long as you, who are responsible for guiding it, can successfully lock the target, even the moonlight will be annihilated by the power of the Goddess Crown, and there is no need to worry about this powerful divine power. You accidentally hurt one of your own!"
Being able to carry out ultra-long-range strikes across continents, being able to kill Yueyao with one blow, and not accidentally injuring friendly troops, this is the strength of the Church of the Sun!
And this magic version of an intercontinental missile-like artifact is just one of the trump cards that the Church of the Sun often uses on the surface... So how powerful will a stronger trump card be?
It is indeed a church with a creation-level true God behind it... You must hold on to this thigh!
Valensa sighed secretly in her heart, and at the same time she heard the saint told her a piece of gossip through the magical communication:
"This mediation actually went very smoothly. Both the sages and the Ghost Queen understood the importance of analyzing the secrets of the Mist Demon. It's just that the Ghost Queen seemed quite upset that her beloved concubine had obtained such an important thing but did not tell her. Angry... That Qianye Rui is probably going to be in bad luck, and I'm afraid she will be severely punished and unable to get out of bed for more than half a month... Hehe."
Valencia laughed a few words in agreement, but she had a different opinion in her heart.
Maybe making a mistake on purpose and being severely punished is the real purpose of Qianye Rui?After all, she is Qianyecao's second sister...
All in all, after the leaders of all parties reached a consensus, Elseth's fleet took over the escort mission of the high-level fog demon core. They were very careful throughout the next voyage, and all officers and soldiers were on standby to fight at any time. In this state, Valencia and Tia stopped having fun, or even rested.
But the new fog demon that attacked Mr. Morgan seemed to really think it had accomplished its mission.
Until the entire fleet landed at Gondia, America's largest port, they were not attacked by the Fog Demon.
Chapter 38 Arrival in America
Gondia City is the largest port in America, located in the south of America. It is also the second largest city in America and a maritime trade center city.
Ships coming to America from France and the Four Islands Alliance will almost always dock at Gondia to load, unload and replenish their cargo.
About 850 kilometers further north from Gondia City is the administrative center city of America. Although it is not called the royal capital, it plays the role and status of the royal capital in America. It is also the largest city in America and Second port, Alant.
Elsess's fleet was originally planned to sail directly to the Port of Arante, but the accompanying merchant ships basically docked in Gondia for trade, so Elsess decided to dock in Gondia as well, leaving the rest The next journey is by land, and you can also visit America along the coastline.
Externally, Elsess said that what she brought was a naval fleet after all. Even if Fran and America were both human allies, it would be too arrogant to bring the fleet directly in front of the capital, so it was better to let the fleet It is better to stop at Gondia.
The real reason... actually is that Elsess has been on the boat for more than ten days in a row. Even though there are various entertainment facilities on the boat, she is still a little tired. In addition, as long as she is still at sea, she has to be prepared for the attack of the fog demon, so it is better to go earlier. Go ashore.
But these have little to do with Valencia and Tia.
Whether they come to play a game with Ahiro or go on a mission with Elseth, these are just excuses for the two of them to come to America.
Now that America has arrived, the three awkward couples who had been eating, drinking and having fun every day on the top deck of the Serravina immediately parted ways.
Elsess and Gina took Fran's envoy and continued north to Alant.
Yahiro and Langzhi stayed in Gundia to do business and prepare for the duel competition qualifiers that would officially start in four days.
Valencia and Yahilo made an appointment to come back in four days to participate in the first day of qualifying, so they took Tia alone.
There are many things to do in America, the most important of which is to acquire a giant chicken. However, it is impossible to go straight from the beginning. You must first establish a firm footing, collect information, and make some preparations.
It happened that the main body of the Morgan family was in Gondia City, and the Morgan brothers and sisters, who were both young people, got along well with Valencia and the others in the past few days, so they sent out an invitation in time, saying that they would bring Valensa and Ti. Ya had a great two days in Gondia.
Considering that the Morgan family is one of America's wealthy families, it would be easier to get into America's upper-class social circle with the introduction of the Morgan brothers and sisters. Valencia and Tia agreed after thinking about it for a while.
The Morgan brothers and sisters were very excited, and they immediately divided the work and collaborated. The elder brother called up friends to organize a welcome party for young people for Valencia and Tia, while the younger sister accompanied Valensa and Tia to engage in the fastest way to enhance friendship among girls. --shop.
Sister Morgan looks a bit like a silly and sweet little princess, but she is actually quite reliable. At least when she took Valencia and Tia to visit Gondia, the tour route was arranged very reasonably, and the explanations along the way were also very reasonable. It's relatively clear, and it's probably at the level of a part-time tour guide in Valencia's previous life at the scenic spot.
As the second largest city in America and a foreign trade port city, Gondia is very prosperous and has various landmarks.
The cultural differences between America and Fran can be clearly felt on the street, but they are not huge.
It's a bit like the gap between Valencia's previous life in England and America. The two have the same cultural origins and the same beliefs. Frank is relatively conservative, while America is more unrestrained.
While visiting Gondia, Valencia saw a few American youths who already felt a bit like Shamut and hippies. She also saw the kind of muscular men in tight leather clothes who sat under her as chairs and The performance art woman on a horse... these are things you will never see on the streets of France.
In addition, just as the restaurants all over the streets and alleys of Farland can make people clearly feel that the land is rich in various delicacies, the city of Gondia can also make people clearly feel that America is rich in mineral resources.
The large and small grocery stores on the street are full of all kinds of magic props powered by magic crystals, ranging from weapons and equipment to daily necessities to children's toys. In France, these things are usually only found in large shopping malls and professional prop stores. can be purchased.
Valencia and Tia were very interested in visiting these small shops and bought many interesting gadgets under the introduction and recommendation of sister Morgan.
In the evening, Valensa and Tia attended another party at the Morgan family's manor, and met many children of America's aristocratic family under the introduction of the Morgan brothers and sisters.
Regarding the fact that these two beauties, Valencia and Tia, were actually lovers and engaged, countless men at the party were heartbroken and called out a waste of resources.
There was one person who obviously didn’t want to give up and wanted to try harder, but he was also very polite and didn’t do anything out of the ordinary. In order to leave a good impression on the beauty, he answered all Valencia and Tia’s questions and said everything he knew. Everything is endless.
