Natsuki Subaru scratched his head awkwardly, but Yamabuki Hana had already given instructions that no matter what Priscilla said, he couldn't say a word. If he dared to interrupt, he would be immediately put back into the game.
Again.
Natsuki Suba knows Yamabuki Hana's personality well; she'll definitely keep her word.
Therefore, Natsuki Subaru obediently shut his mouth, and without Yamabuki Hanakami's prompting, he would not utter a single extra word.
Yamabuki Hanajin sighed softly, "I originally thought the candidates for king would all be formidable figures, but it turns out she's just a girl who judges by appearances. Oh well, we won't cooperate with someone like that."
"You're not qualified, this is nothing. Let's go."
Natsuki Subaru: ? ? ?
Priscilla: ? ? ?
Are you trying to get me to come to my house, only to say I'm not qualified to cooperate?
Priscilla immediately realized the problem.
Cooperation? Cooperation with whom? Emilia, of course.
Logically speaking, Emilia had no chance of becoming queen; her half-elf status had already determined everything.
But what if we take a different approach? Emilia might give up becoming queen and instead cooperate with one of the other four to seek enormous profits.
Emilia herself was fine, but behind her stood one of the most powerful magicians in the entire country.
Priscilla instantly thought of many possibilities.
And who exactly is this girl? There shouldn't be a girl like this in Roswaal's mansion, so why is she with Natsuki Subaru?
Natsuki Subaru's brain was about to shut down. "Big sister, we're here to call for reinforcements, not to call for reinforcements with this attitude!"
He still remembered the humiliation Priscilla had inflicted on him in the previous save file.
He originally thought this girl was a nice person, but he didn't expect her to be such a jerk.
However, Yamabuki Hanajin had previously instructed Natsuki Subaru not to say a word no matter what happened, so he kept all his questions to himself.
Priscilla was still thinking when Yamabuki Hanaran turned and walked away.
"Is it a bluff? Or is there something else going on? We have too little information to analyze it right now." Priscilla knew that to win in a political struggle, she couldn't afford to miss any opportunity.
One detail.
That's how I lost in the previous kingdom.
"Ahem, I misjudged you. Please give this little sister some treats. Is there something important you need from me?" Priscilla's curiosity ultimately prevailed.
"It's really nothing major, just an invitation to a small meeting. It's at Crusch's residence this afternoon. That's all, goodbye." Yamabuki Hanakami finished speaking.
He then left without hesitation.
Priscilla was even more confused.
What's going on? You came to see me just to say this one sentence? Crusch? What does this have to do with Crusch?
After Yamabuki Hanajin and Natsuki Subaru left the mansion, Natsuki Subaru finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What exactly were you doing? What if they got curious and started asking us?"
What if we have to take action?
"What's there to be afraid of? Since we're negotiating, we need to seize the absolute initiative. Besides, even if everyone in the entire mansion came at me together, they couldn't beat me," Yamabuki Hanaran replied calmly.
Indeed, this is a world guided by force.
If you can fight, you can really do whatever you want.
"Where are we going next?" Natsuki Subaru continued to ask.
"Go find Anastasia," Yamabuki Hanajin said.
Natsuki Subaru recalled some unpleasant memories from the past.
Anastasia is a complete shrewd businesswoman, despite having such a cute face.
They took advantage of me and then left me alone; they're really wicked.
Inside a coffee shop, Anastasia was showing two adorable little ones coffee.
These two little cuties are half-orcs, with big, soft ears. They are so adorable. Although they are siblings, you can't tell the difference between them just by looking at them.
"So... what brings you two here?" Anastasia squinted at Yamabuki Hana and Natsuki Subaru.
"Actually, it's nothing major, I just want to make a simple transaction." Yamabuki Hanajin took out a catnip from somewhere and was teasing the two little cuties next to him.
If I had to describe them, these two might resemble a cute archer with big ears from a certain mobile game.
Upon hearing about the deal, Anastasia's eyes narrowed into slits.
"I'm the kind of person who never suffers a loss."
"What a coincidence! I'm the kind of person who never suffers a loss, and this deal just happens to be a win-win situation. Interested in learning more?" Yamabuki Hanabo used a catnip to tease the little cutie's nose.
"Tell me."
Yamabuki Hanajiki: "What is the greatest danger to the Merchants' Association?"
Anastasia stroked her chin and thought for a moment: "That must be about the safety of people and goods when trading."
When caravans travel between various empires, they inevitably encounter bandits and robbers. Of course, in order to ensure that the goods are delivered, the caravans will be equipped with a certain amount of weaponry.
"But if we're talking about the biggest threat... it's definitely the beluga whale!"
Chapter 999 (Main Text 1002): The White Whale Extermination War Begins
Beluga whales have been ravaging the world for four hundred years.
Because beluga whales are elusive and incredibly powerful, people simply cannot control them.
"This lady is clearly a smart person. How about we work together to stew that fish?" asked Yamabuki Hanajin.
"Little sister, you're joking. You...do you have some special information?" Anastasia suddenly asked, "If you have any special information, tell me about it."
"I already treated you to cake, you can't be so stingy."
Yamabuki Hanajin: "I won't say."
"Well... little sister, why are you going out with a servant? That's very dangerous." Anastasia's smile widened.
Natsuki Subaru said weakly, "I'm not actually her servant."
But he soon realized something was wrong; everyone in the coffee shop was Anastasia's henchman.
"This is bad. If so many people rush at us, the two of us won't stand a chance." Natsuki Subaru's face grew increasingly grim. He hadn't expected this woman to actually break off all pretense of civility.
Is fish removal really that important?
Yamabuki Hanachi: "When did you start to have the illusion that... there are only two of us?"
Before Anastasia could react, a ninja dressed in black appeared behind her, a blade already pointed at her neck.
Not only that, more and more black-clad ninjas appeared, subduing everyone in the shop almost instantly.
"Hey! I was just kidding, why are you angry? By the way, where were those people hiding before? I didn't see them. Here, have a peach to calm down." Anastasia's smile...
Unchanged in the slightest.
"This is called the Shadow Legion, and it has always been hiding in my shadow." Yamabuki Hanajin began to spout nonsense.
Can I tell you that this is actually an illusion?
These ninjas look brave, but they can actually be broken with a single finger poke.
Anastasia continued, "No matter what, I am a candidate for king. If my king is killed, do you think you can leave alive?"
"Oh! I'm not afraid of threats at all. What color urn do you like? Blue or red?" Yamabuki Hana asked, squinting her eyes.
Seeing the tensions escalating, Natsuki Subaru was helpless and could only watch as the conflict intensified.
Why is this completely different from what I imagined about calling for help?
"Oh dear, how could I possibly lay a hand on you? It's all a misunderstanding. I hate fighting and killing more than anything. Where were you? Stewing fish, right? Tell me about..."
"How should we cook this fish?" Anastasia waved her hand slightly, signaling her men to put away their weapons.
Merchants are masters at weighing profits, so there are two types of people they absolutely cannot offend.
One type is the high-ranking officials and nobles, for whom money cannot defeat power.
The second type is the reckless thug, who doesn't care about any monetary rules. Everyone only has one life; it's either me kill you, or you kill me—it's that simple.
one.
Who is he? A candidate for king. In this situation, he wouldn't even risk his life, let alone lose a single finger.
Assessing the situation and acting accordingly is still very important.
"This lady is clearly intelligent. Let's continue our discussion on how to stew fish." Yamabuki Hanajin immediately dispelled the illusions, and the black-clad ninjas flowed into Yamabuki Hanajin's shadow like water.
in.
The tense scene from just now seemed to have never existed, and the two returned to their previous "you're good, I'm good" state.
"Dealing with the white whale...it's not that no one has thought of it before, but firstly, the white whale is too powerful; ordinary soldiers are useless against it. Moreover, the white whale is elusive, making it very difficult to pinpoint its location..."
Anastasia looked troubled. "If we could get rid of it, that would be ideal. Then trade routes would be unimpeded, which would be of great benefit to me."
Moreover, killing a white whale will bring you great fame.
While reputation may seem intangible, it can sometimes be quite useful.
A strong reputation attracts more talent, gains more public support, and attracts more business partners.
If your reputation is ruined...
Ming Gong Ji Dong Zhuo Ding Yuan?
Lü Bu died.
"If you want to know the specific details of the plan, come to Crusch's mansion before noon, and we'll discuss it together. Alright, everyone, eat and drink well; we have to leave now."
After saying that, Yamabuki Hanajin quickly left with Natsuki Subaru.
Having left the enemy's territory, Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you bring out so many men sooner? It wouldn't have been impossible to deal with the White Whale with them."
"Are you stupid? Do you even know what illusion is? This thing can only scare people. If we were really fighting, we would have been chopped into mincemeat by now!" Yamabuki Hanajin complained.
Natsuki Ang felt a chill run down his spine.
So you were just bluffing.
I thought you were really that amazing.
And so they arrived at the last house, Crusch's mansion.
Unlike the previous two candidates for king, Crusch was an extremely powerful swordsman with a multitude of strong subordinates.
After receiving the news, Crusch still received the two out of courtesy.
Facing Kuris, Yamabuki Hanajin made no attempt to hide anything and went straight to the point.
"I want to make a deal with you. I know you're preparing to hunt down the White Whale. I can provide you with its exact location and time of appearance. In return, after the successful hunt, I..."
I need you to lend me some men to do some things.
Kuerxiu immediately frowned.
The operation to hunt down the white whale was top secret. How did the other side find out?
"I've observed your residence recently. You've purchased a large number of heavy weapons, clearly not for human combat. Furthermore, you've prepared a large number of carriages, which presumably..."
"It's meant to be used against the white whale. If we succeed in defeating the white whale, we'll surely gain immense fame, and not only that... the old gentleman behind you will also get his revenge." Yamabuki Hanaran looked at...
An old gentleman behind Kushu.
This man has quite a background; he was the husband of the previous Sword Saint and the grandfather of Reinhard. He was extremely powerful and was known as the Sword Demon.
More than a decade ago, his wife, the previous generation's Sword Saint, died in the mouth of the White Whale. Since then, this old man has had an irreconcilable hatred for the White Whale.
Upon hearing that the other party could provide the location and time of the beluga whale's appearance, the old man exuded a terrifying murderous aura.
"I'm sorry, I was rude!" The old man realized he had lost control, quickly composed himself, and took two deep breaths.
"Why should I believe you?" Kushu asked.
Natsuki Subaru took out his phone: "This is a magical item; it's the time he accidentally captured the appearance of the beluga whale."
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; whether you seize it or not is entirely up to you."
