Chapter 48: Reciprocal exchanges(1/3)
On the high wall of the main city of the Sea Clan, Mo Lei, the Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei looked at the scene on the main street a few kilometers away with shock, and agreed to attack the Sea King to attract the strong men of the Sea Clan in the city.
However, the current situation looks like the attack was successful.
This made Mo Lei immediately think that this was a plot. The three of them were tricked into coming here to be the scapegoats for the assassination of Neptune. What's more terrible is that if they were caught, she said it was a fake attack and she was not prepared.
It was really an accident that killed Neptune. Neptune was killed. I wonder, would the strong men of the sea tribe believe it?
The thoughts in Mo Lei's mind were racing, and she suddenly felt that this matter was not a trap, otherwise it would not be possible to reveal the flaws everywhere. She had been plotted by the Pharaoh, and the feeling of being plotted by the other party that time was completely different from now.
Just when Mo Lei, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei were preparing to withdraw, the Sea Clan Guards on the main street, under the command of the great warrior Zakava, took away all the car fragments on the main street, leaving only
The gravel is removed.
This made Mo Lei even more confused. She originally thought that other extremely powerful people would arrive immediately, seal off the main city, and conduct a blanket investigation.
The current situation is that Neptune seems to be dead. The bodyguards took the wreckage and hurriedly evacuated, without giving anyone outside the scene a chance to inspect the scene of the attack.
This makes people very confused. This is the main city of the Sea Clan. It is impossible for other forces other than the Sea Clan to have the opportunity to inspect the scene of Sea King's assassination. In this way, Sea King's confidant, the great warrior Zakawa, was on guard against
, must be someone from the Hai Clan.
There are three factions within the Sea Tribe. The Royal Faction is the Sea King himself, the Theocratic Poseidon Sect, and the Presbyterian Church, which is the oldest and has the most powerful people. It is said that the two most powerful people in this world who have no faction are secretly...
He is a Presbyterian.
Now that the leader of the royalist faction, Poseidon, has been killed, his men must be on guard against the Poseidon Sect and the Presbyterian Church.
But prevention is prevention, so why was the attack scene so clean? This is quite surprising. Neptune was attacked and killed in the main city. This incident can definitely throw dirty water on the Poseidon Sect and the Presbyterian Church.
At this moment, Mo Lei, Yue Apostle, and Hao Mei received a prompt at the same time.
[Tip: You have triggered a special event·the truth.]
[Tip: This is an incidental event task. Different from regular events, there is no penalty for this task except for the risks caused by the task itself. 】
[You can choose from the following camps as a participant in this mission.]
1. The attacker’s camp.
2. Neptune camp (if you choose this camp and are exposed, you will be hunted down by the attackers).
3. Poseidon Cult camp (if you choose this camp and are exposed, you will be hunted down by the attackers).
…
This sudden multiple-choice question, no, it should be a proposition, made Mo Lei, Yue Apostle, and Hao Mei all choose "the attacker camp". This is their initial camp for this attack. How?
There is no need to hesitate when choosing.
As soon as they made their choice, the three of them received prompts at the same time.
[You have triggered the first link of this mission·Witness.]
Mission introduction: Leave the main city of the Sea Tribe alive.
Mission deadline: None.
Task rewards: accumulated to the final stage, and will be distributed in the form of settlement after completing the final stage.
Mission penalty: None.
…
Just when Mo Lei and the others were still considering what to do next, a deep middle-aged male voice came from behind the three of them.
"Are the three friends of the Secret Pattern Master?"
"Ah? Ah, yes."
Mo Lei was stunned for a moment and then responded. According to the original plan, this is indeed the case. But the problem is that there are flaws in the plan now. The attack on Neptune seems to have been successful. In this case, the plan will still continue?
To be on the safe side, Mo Lei checked the team information to see if Su Xiao posted news there. It turned out that because she was inside the incident area and Su Xiao was outside the area, the two parties could not communicate through this method. If they wanted to contact each other, they had to bear the responsibility.
The risk of exposure, using communication equipment, is the balance caused by the notarization mechanism.
"You three, come with me."
The contact person turned around and left. Vaguely, Mo Lei heard the other person muttering in a low voice, 'The attack on the Sea King was just like killing him with a real bomb', 'As expected of a professional' and other words.
Mo Lei, Yue Apostle, and Hao Mei looked at each other. The main city of the Sea Clan must have been sealed off now. It is impossible to get out. There are only two options. One is to use expensive life-saving tools to escape, and the other is to follow the contact person.
, thus leaving this high wall that is about to be closely scrutinized.
After walking around in a secret passage and passing through several one-way teleportation arrays, the connector finally took Mo Lei and the others to the predetermined location. When they arrived, Hao Mei's eyes became particularly solemn. Just as she was about to speak, a group of seamen
The Imperial Guards came over, and their captain asked sternly:
"Are these the two gem masters?"
"Yes, but your tone is best to be more respectful."
The contact person spoke with a bit of dissatisfaction. Although the captain of the Imperial Guard looked more and more dangerous, he still did not have an attack in the end. He nodded to Mo Lei and scolded Hao Mei: "I asked you to pick up these two people slowly."
Tuntun, come on, there seems to be something going on over there on the main street. Don't wander around after you enter the workshop area."
Haomei is from the Sea Clan camp, and under the recommendation of Caesar, she serves in a subordinate department of the Guards in the main city. It is normal for the Captain of the Guards to order her now.
Although Hao Mei seemed dissatisfied, she chose to endure it. This is the normal reaction after joining the Sea Tribe as a contractor of the paradise camp. If Hao Mei really obeys the order, then the captain of the Imperial Guard will immediately give the order.
, capture the few people present, this is the main city of the Sea Clan, any chain reaction caused by suspicious actions will not be made into a trivial matter.
After passing three checkpoints stationed by sea soldiers, Mo Lei, Yue Apostle, and Hao Mei entered the workshop area, and under the guidance of the connector, they arrived at a three-story building. As soon as they entered the door, the three of them saw
More than a dozen craftsmen.
These craftsmen are both male and female. Because they are all leaders in various fields and have unique aura fluctuations, they have the same identity, disciples of the Dwarf King.
Seeing the arrival of Mo Lei and the others, more than a dozen master craftsmen present stood up to greet them. The forger headed by them said: "Thank you for your hard work. It's a pity that I can't entertain you warmly. The most important thing now is how we escape from here."
."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of more than a dozen people in the room were all focused on Mo Lei and the three of them, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Mo Lei looked at the team channel, but there was still no news, and Caesar, who was supposed to come to contact him, also
She was nowhere to be seen, which made her have the same idea as the dozen or so craftsmen present, that is, how to leave this place?
…
"Huh? Mo Lei and the others went to the workshop area?"
Su Xiao frowned as she listened to Baha's narration. The original plan was to attack the Sea King and plunge the main city into chaos, and then take the opportunity to rescue the Dwarf King. At least that was the plan on the surface.
But now the attack seems to be successful. The reason why it is said to be very successful is because Su Xiao is sure that Neptune is not dead. The killing prompt is very strange. There is only one "You have killed Neptune" and the corresponding reward is nothing.
No.
You don't need to think twice to know that this is the fault of the priest.
"There is still no movement in the main city of the Sea Clan?"
Su Xiao spoke with a bit of suspicion in her eyes. If the priest conspired with Neptune, then the main city of the Sea Tribe should take action now. No matter why Neptune wanted to fake his death, his purpose should be revealed soon.
In fact, the plan of Neptune and the priest is indeed like this, but the problem is that Neptune's informants have detected that Mo Lei, Yue Apostle, and Hao Mei, who are Su Xiao's associates, have actually sneaked into the workshop area now.
According to the plan of Neptune and the priest, after being attacked and killed and feigned death, all Su Xiao's plans should be disrupted, so there would be no chance for Mo Lei and the others to immediately sneak into the workshop area.
The problem lies here. For some unknown reason, Mo Lei and the other three actually acted according to the original plan. This not only confused Su Xiao, but also made Neptune and the priest unable to deal with it. This caused both sides to be confused.
Don't dare to act rashly, fearing that this is the opponent's back-up plan.
But the problem is that the actions of Mo Lei and the others are really not back-up moves. On the contrary, the three of them are now trapped in the workshop area.
In fact, Mo Lei and the others were quite helpless. After the attack started, they thought they had only two options left, one was to use life-saving items to escape, and the other was to follow the contact person, so they chose the latter, which led to the current situation.
In fact, there is another group of people who are even more confused, namely the Poseidon Sect, which has long been in complete collusion with the Arcane Eternal Star and is preparing to get rid of the current Neptune and help people from the Poseidon Sect to take over.
In fact, the Poseidon Sect is somewhat forced to do so. The current Poseidon did take advantage of the opportunity to ascend to power, but after being able to fight against the Beast King for so many years, this person is also a very ruthless leader. Except for force, all other abilities are fully utilized.
The Sea Clan's long-term mixing of royal power and divine power has made the King of the Sea feel like he has something stuck in his throat, and he has long been ready to uproot the Poseidon Sect.
Naturally, the Poseidon Religion will not wait for death. The top management over there figured out that they couldn't defeat Neptune in all aspects anyway. They were clearly arranged by the other party, so they might as well do something ruthless and eliminate him physically, that is, assassinate Neptune.
Just recently, a distinguished guest came to the ancient city of Yatuo, the main city of the Sea Clan. The Poseidon Sect was busy doing nothing and took the opportunity to assassinate the King of the Sea.
Everything was ready, and when Poseidon arrived at the predetermined ambush location, a blood gun with energy piercing the rainbow and piercing the layers of space barriers struck, bombing Poseidon's car and smashing the 'Sea King' inside.
The senior officials of the Poseidon Religion who saw this scene through the projection were extremely excited. One of them even laughed and said: "I didn't expect that our Poseidon Religion would have such a strong assassin. Let this person come to see me."
The higher-ups of Poseidon Sect were in a happy mood, and the people below were all confused. Poseidon was killed by the bombardment, but the problem is, they haven't done anything yet! Who did this?!
Generally speaking, this matter can be divided into three camps.
1. Law-killing camp: Su Xiao, Caesar, Bubo Wang, Baha, Morey, Moon Apostle, Haomei.
2. Neptune’s camp: Neptune and Neptune’s subordinates, Father.
3. Poseidon Cult: A group of senior Poseidon Cult officials, as well as the Inquisition (the department responsible for carrying out assassinations).
The beginning of all this is actually the cooperation between Neptune and the priest. One of the two is to get rid of the Poseidon Cult, and the other is to get the 20% "initial mark" fragments from the world-destroying existence, the Dark Eater.
The two had many plans, but the Poseidon Sect was very difficult to deal with. It was deeply rooted in the main city of the Sea Clan, and the Dark Eater was even more difficult to deal with. It was an extremely weird world-destroying existence.
Therefore, Neptune and the priest decided that a third party must enter the scene, and this third party was naturally Su Xiao's side.
After learning through the priest that Su Xiao intended to assassinate him, Neptune, who was usually indifferent to emotions and anger, couldn't help but smile.
