"Lord Palace Secretary."
Yosuke Sakai was half-kneeling outside the screen, his head bowed. No matter how arrogant he was on the Astologis before, he did not dare to show the slightest disrespect in front of this person.
Several fellow escorting warriors behind him also let go of the escorting Luzi and made the same move.
"Why are you here again this time?" The blue-haired woman from the screen came out and glanced at the visitors below.
"Master Palace Secretary, I reported to you before that there has been new progress regarding the shipwreck of the Astologis. The matter is more complicated than I imagined."
"Oh? Tell me."
Although the blue-haired woman's words were inquiring, the actual expression on her face showed no hint of concern.
"Yes, just earlier, the Astrologis returned to the port. This was originally a happy event. It also happened to allow me to investigate whether the smuggling incident that my sister was framed by was true. But unfortunately, I found a large amount of saltpeter belonging to the Flame Domain at the bottom of the cabin, and the matter of smuggling has been confirmed."
"However, before I could take the next step, this batch of smuggled saltpeter, perhaps due to poor quality or a problem with the way it was stored, exploded violently at the port, with flames dancing and thick smoke billowing. "
"Although the society adheres to the joint mission and conducts rescue operations as soon as possible, many innocent citizens at the port who came to watch because of the Astologis were still affected by the explosion and suffered heavy casualties. On the one hand, I sent additional manpower Rescue, and at the same time, because the matter is of great importance, we did not dare to delay even a moment, and immediately brought the prisoner Luzi to meet the Lord Palace Secretary."
After Yosuke Sakai finished speaking, the palace lady who was the incarnation of the water god finally moved her eyes to look at Luko behind her.
"Do you have anything to explain?"
"Mr. Palace Secretary, Luzi knew she was guilty. Because she was driven by thieves using sorcery, she fell into a trap, which affected the Astorogis and Lady Risa. Luzi was willing to be punished afterwards, but..."
Luzi crawled on the ground and said sincerely:
"I would also like to ask the Palace Secretary to be clear about it. Whether it is smuggling of saltpeter, or the explosion at the port, or even a few days ago, the Astologis lost its way at sea and was attacked by a big snake. The person behind the operation, Luzi, has been revealed. They found some clues and found that they were foreign forces from the cold winter. They were trying to harm Qiandao. Luzi boldly suspected that two of the three ministers serving the palace minister had become puppets of other countries. Master Yosuke had ulterior motives and had probably colluded with foreign enemies. ..."
"Hmph! You use such words to justify yourself, and you also want to disturb the audience and make things messy. Do you think Mr. Gong Si will believe it?"
Although Yosuke Sakai was unmoved on the surface and just yelled to stop, he was actually a little surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that Luzi already knew so much.
Luzi ignored the man and continued to plead to the blue-haired woman:
"Now is the grand election of the witches and wizards held every ten years in Thousand Islands. Too many manpower and material resources of Sanfeng have been transferred away. Lord Palace Secretary, the enemy is targeting this time, so we must not let them succeed. Luzi also asked the Palace Secretary to... take action personally!"
"you...!"
Yosuke Sakai was about to say something more, but when the blue-haired woman glanced over, he suddenly became silent.
"I know the thing."
"Sakai Yosuke found out that the smuggling was successful, and immediately rescued the people who suffered the port explosion and reduced the casualties. This proves that you are indeed qualified and can take over your sister's position. From now on, you can officially become the head of the Sheshou family."
"Thank you...Thank you, Miyaji-sama!" Sakai Yosuke's face showed a look of ecstasy.
Although he describes himself as the temporary head of the family, he still has the word "temporary". Only when he is personally appointed by the Palace Secretary can he completely take over the society.
On Luzi's side, she had a look of disbelief on her face. She didn't understand why she had spoken so clearly, but Lord Gongji still...
"Master Palace Secretary, I will resign now. I will definitely deal with the prisoners next..."
The man's words came to an abrupt end before he finished speaking, because the blue-haired woman did not end the meeting. Instead, she focused on Luzi and spoke again:
"Risa Sakai and her subordinates abused their power and smuggled goods, putting the people of Qiandao in danger. They should have been dismissed from their posts and imprisoned. However, because they revealed the truth and exposed foreign enemies, it was suspected that there was actually a slanderer behind the scenes, so they were demoted and dispatched. From now on, I will leave Yueyuan Island and go to Sakuragi Island to serve as the island leader to see the effects."
"This... Lord Palace Secretary, this, this is inappropriate!"
Yosuke Sakai was dumbfounded by the blue-haired woman's words. He even couldn't help but ask questions.
"What, is there something wrong with you?"
After the palace maiden just glanced at the young man coldly, Sakai Yosuke came back to his senses and realized what he had done with his arrogant words just now.
The palace secretary's words are true to his word, and no one in Qiandao can doubt him.
"No...no, it's my subordinate who lost his temper. Please obey, Mr. Palace Secretary." Sakai Yosuke was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
In this regard, there was no further investigation. The blue-haired woman just asked calmly:
"Other than that, do you have anything else?"
Yes, and...!
Luzi had not forgotten Vivian and her group. She was about to speak in front of the palace minister and request that they be released after being implicated, but the idea just came to her...
A dark green snake-shaped shadow flashed through Luzi's mind in an extremely subtle way.
"Although you are doing it for your brother's good... but now is not the time. They... can't be discovered by "this" water god..."
"So, I just ate this memory..."
In Luzi's ears, the voice of a young girl echoed out of thin air. The tone of the voice was very strange. She obviously sounded young, but it had a enchanting and dangerous feeling.
If I had to describe it, Luzi's first reaction was...snake.
It was as if a snake was spitting out a message. The extremely fast and crisp hissing sound made people feel itchy in their hearts, even a little pleasant. However, they were afraid of being bitten and their whole body was chilled.
Especially when she said "I've eaten it", all the hairs on Luzi's body stood up for a moment, just as a "prey" reaction.
It's a pity that Luzi's thought of resistance flashed past, and then nothing happened.
Because in the next second, this dark green snake-shaped shadow opened its mouth with lightning speed and made a devouring movement. It was extremely fast and clean. After it was completed, it disappeared directly, as if Never appeared in general.
As for Luzi...
Did you...did you want to do something just now?
The political officer's face showed confusion and reminiscence.
The only person at the scene who could react might be the palace shrine maiden who was the incarnation of the water god.
But even the blue-haired woman who was high up on the steps of the shrine only glanced briefly, and then she looked back after seeing some strange exposure below.
"If you have nothing else to do, just step back."
"yes..."
"yes..."
Two times in a row, not only Sakai Yosuke, but also Luzi, they all had endless doubts about the verdict of the Palace Secretary.
When Yosuke Sakai was promoted, Luko's eyesight went dark and she almost fainted, but later the Palace Secretary also pardoned her and Risa. Although she was demoted to the island owner, Yosuke said that they would be imprisoned as prisoners. Too strong.
so...
What does Mr. Gongji mean...? ?
besides...
I always feel that I have missed something, that there is something that I have not told Mr. Gong Si. What is it...what is it...
Luzi frowned. Now that she was pardoned by the palace minister as a prisoner, the samurai who originally escorted her naturally did not dare to do what they did before. Luzi regained her freedom.
"Master Yosuke, are you really worthy of your sister and the people of Thousand Islands by doing this?"
"Although I don't understand Miyaji-sama's decision, there must be a deep meaning behind it, but I hope Yosuke-sama will remember..."
Gu Qi
"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, but the time has not yet come."
After saying such words, and ignoring Sakai Yosuke's livid face, Luzi turned and left. She wanted to leave quickly and go to Sakuragi Island where the Lord Palace assigned them.
And Yosuke Sakai...
"Sir, are we just going to let the tiger go back to the mountain?" One of his trusted warriors couldn't help but say.
"Hmph, why, do you still dare to disobey Mr. Palace Secretary?"
As soon as Yosuke said these words, his confidants immediately shut up.
"Forget it, our goal has been achieved anyway. All I want is for this society to serve as the head of the family. As for my sisters and the others, they were sent to Sakuragi Island... That kind of place is almost like being exiled. They are It won’t make any waves.”
"But isn't that the place where Yae God... ahem, Yae's old society is? Aren't you afraid that these rebellious people will conspire..."
"Don't worry so much. This matter has been settled. But the only thing that surprises me is that Luzi didn't mention the traveler from Yanyu in front of Lord Palace Secretary..."
After Yosuke Sakai glared at his trusted samurai, he became thoughtful again.
This time the warrior did not dare to speak casually.
After a minute or two, Sakai Yosuke shook his head and spoke again:
"Forget it, let's stop interfering with those two people. Now that we have achieved our goal ahead of schedule, we no longer need the assistance of Lundong's gang. Besides... Humph! Lundong's bastards don't really think that I, Sakai Yosuke, must be a fool, and he still wants to use me to deal with that little girl from Yanyu."
"With Luzi's ability, how could it be possible for the Astorogis to come back intact from the legendary Yamata no Orochi? You can think about it with your feet. The Yanyu man must have played a key role, although I don't know why. They have to be enemies with people like this in the winter, but we can't be used as gunmen. We can take the opportunity to put them in jail with a little thought, which is enough to give face to the people in the winter."
"Yes, Master Yosuke, then I will instruct my brothers to just keep an eye on them and don't do anything unnecessary."
"Well, go ahead. It doesn't matter if you can't see it. It's just a show. The point is, don't get involved any more."
"clear!"
As Yosuke Sakai and his party also left Yueyuan Shrine, the place finally returned to its original tranquility.
In the attic of the shrine at the highest point, the blue-haired woman returned to the screen and sat down.
"Variables...all variables..."
"Why is this happening...Where is it, what went wrong..."
I only saw a piece of rice paper in front of the wooden table of the water god's clone, with words such as "Sakai Yosuke", "Head of the Society's House", "Owner of Sakuragi Island" and so on written on it.
The blue-haired woman picked up the pen as if she was doing a connecting question, matching two related words correctly and connecting them together.
She connected the line between Yosuke Sakai and the head of the Shashou family, and Risa Sakai and the owner of Sakuragi Island.
But for the rest, such as the line between the Astologis and the sinking, the blue-haired woman was holding a pen on it, but she couldn't put it down. After all... this thing never happened, and she couldn't rely on it. Try to force yourself to do it.
In addition, there is also the words "Qilin Pavilion Diplomatic Document" on the rice paper, but this entry does not even have an entry for the corresponding thing. It is completely blank, so there is no connection.
"Must find..."
"In order to achieve that future...all variables...must be eliminated..."
The murmur of the blue-haired woman echoed in the attic, like the actual murderous intention, as if the ink spilled from the tip of the pen dyed the entire rice paper black.
...
...
The great emperor enforces the jurisdiction of the land.
Sin Prison Mountain.
No introduction is needed, the name alone is enough to explain what this place is used for.
All prisoners on Yueyuan Island will be escorted here and managed uniformly. It is also one of the largest prisons in Thousand Islands.
"Get in!"
After a jailer samurai opened the new cell door, he scolded the handcuffed Vivian. After confirming that the little girl had entered, he locked the prison door tightly before leaving quickly.
"Xiao Hei...Xiao Hei?" Vivian tried to call the wolf cub in the summoning space, but there was no news.
As for the reason, the little girl looked down at the cuffs in her hands.
Compared with Yanyu, Thousand Islands does not have the "low martial arts world" political concept of Fire God Alice, and has improved a lot in all aspects.
For people with "magic" like Vivian, there are special magic-sealing handcuffs. Once put on, they are equivalent to being silenced mage, unable to exert any magic power in their body.
Otherwise, how could the grassroots warriors who serve as Dazu be so confident in guarding the prisoners in Sin Prison Mountain, among whom there are many extremely vicious and powerful people.
Regarding this, Liao Zixuan is now a little depressed and begins to regret. Was it better to resist in the first place?
In fact, there were two reasons for the decision not to take action at that time.
Giving Lu Zi face and guessing that there were many injured Qiandao people below were just one of them. The real reason that made the little wolf cub not take action was...
At that time, a voice suddenly sounded in my mind.
"You can't do anything here, you will be discovered, believe me...brother"
Just such a girl's voice made Liao Zixuan hesitate. It was that hesitation that turned into the current situation.
This is trouble...
There are demon-sealing handcuffs, and Vivian cannot summon him and Xin Yan. If she wants to escape, she has to find a way to remove the handcuffs...
But this handcuff is really not simple. Liao Zixuan used his detection skills to explore it and found that it was actually an "epic" quality prop!
The game panel says this introduction...
【Sea Serpent's Feet】
[Quality: Epic]
[Effect: Seal all magic power of the user]
(It is rumored that the handcuffs are made from the old skin of the Yamata no Orochi after it sheds its skin. It was taken by the water god and handed over to Dazu for processing and refining. It is indestructible, not only has extremely strong toughness, but also has strong suppressive power against magic.)
So...who was that damn voice back then?
Commanded, what next? do not care?
in addition...
Which nerve in me was short-circuited at that time? Why did I believe it?
Just when the little wolf cub was cursing in his heart, maybe he heard his voice, that strange girl's voice sounded again, but this time the tone was not good.
"snort..."
"Brother Badass...Are you looking down on Mei Wu? Not to mention a mere handcuff, even a god, as long as you give me enough room to grow, I can...devour it..."
"After all, I am...a world-eating snake."
