Do you remember? " A shrill yet sarcastic voice sounded from the communicator. There was no doubt that this was the Great Elder whom Bibili Kelly respected so much.
"Great Elder, Bibilly Kerry is willing to accept any punishment. I will also retrieve Zhan Five's body immediately and … "Bibilly Kerry's forehead was full of cold sweat and even his back had goosebumps. He had completely realized what a huge mistake he had made.
"There's no need for that," the Great Elder said calmly.
"Please give me a chance, Great Elder." Even through the phone, Bibilly Kerry almost knelt down.
"I said there's no need for that. It's too late for you to make up for it. Besides, do you want to give those hidden fellows and forces an excuse to make another move? " The Great Elder paused for a moment and before Bibili Kerry could continue, he continued. "Draconic Twelve's incident has taught us a lesson. So, we implanted a small chip in the seeds of the War Bloodline. As long as someone touches their bones after their death, they will immediately self-destruct … "
Before the Great Elder could finish, Bibilly Kerry's face was immediately filled with surprise. He exclaimed, "This is a genius design. What about Tang Ling?"
"He better pray that he doesn't touch Zhan Five's body. Otherwise, the power of the self-destruction … "The Great Elder smiled gloomily." But if he touches it, it doesn't matter if nothing happens. In short, what can he do if he can't produce any evidence? "
At this time, Bibilly Kerry was completely relieved and asked carefully, "Then, Great Elder, I …"
"Hmph, this arrangement is the council's backup plan. Without this backup plan, what do you think will happen? "
"Great Elder, I know I was reckless, but I'm still willing to accept any punishment." Bibilly Kerry still said the same, but he did not have the heavy and desperate feeling from before.
"Forget it. Your trip to the House of Poseidon this time has achieved great results. Because of your recklessness, you made such a mistake and sacrificed a seed of the War Bloodline. The merits offset the demerits. "
"Of course, if you can really control the House of Poseidon according to your plan. The council will still calculate your merits. "
Hearing this, Bibilly Kerry showed a relaxed smile. "Thank you, Great Elder."
"If there's nothing else, then there's no need to talk nonsense. Try not to use the communicator in the House of Poseidon. Even though it's a secret communicator, you can't underestimate the power of the three families, "the Great Elder reminded Bibili, his tone calm.
"No, Great Elder. If it's convenient, I still want to ask a question. "
"Ask away."
"Tang Ling is really a tough nut to crack. His influence and the difficulty of killing him are comparable to a high-rank Purple Moon Warrior. I want to know if the Senate will send a representative for this resource voyage? "Bibi Cleary's tone was very urgent.
"Battle One? He will not participate in the group action, he will act on his own. "The Great Elder left such a baffling sentence, then hung up the phone.
Bibilly Kerry was a little startled. How should he understand the phrase 'move freely'? Regardless, if Zhan One and Tang Ling were to meet, no matter how miraculous Tang Ling was, he would still lose to Zhan One. Bibili Kerry was confident.
However, Zhan One was really … With that in mind, Bibili Kerry sighed. Even without Zhan One, the other Battle seeds were not bad. Zhan Five was only below average among them.
What a useless piece of trash! He even wasted so many good things that I gave him.
Forget it, I don't care anymore. My top priority now is to calm the couple down and not let the House of Poseidon fall apart.
As for hunting down Tang Ling, I will wait for the Stardust Council's reinforcements and the Battle Youth Regiment to arrive.
**
In the guest room of the Hero Dynasty.
Liszt carefully selected a bottle of red wine from the wine rack, opened it, and poured it into the decanter. He then casually took two crystal wine glasses and placed them in front of Lancaster and himself. Only then did he sit down gracefully.
He did not ask the butler or Hank behind him to do anything. It was a sign of Liszt's sincerity to Lancaster.
After he sat down, Liszt looked at Lancaster with a friendly smile.
"The authentic Lafite from Chateau Lafite of the old civilization has to be preserved with a special method to maintain its quality. This is a golden vintage Lafite. "
Lancaster raised a brow but did not say anything.
"What? You don't like it? " Liszt was slightly surprised. In his mind, the top nobles from the Light Continent were the most addicted to red wine. In the Purple Moon era, even the trash red wine from the old civilization was highly sought after.
The longer a red wine was stored, the better it tasted. If it was stored for too long, it would miss its optimal drinking period and the taste would go downhill.
Therefore, red wine that had a suitable taste must be preserved with special methods, even if it was a mid-tier or low-tier red wine.
Liszt took out such a top-notch wine, so it was reasonable that Lancaster's reaction surprised him.
"No, I'm fine with anything. I don't know anything about this, "Lancaster smiled and simply explained.
However, in the next second, his probing gaze landed on Hank.
The same situation had happened a few times. Hank frowned impatiently, but Lancaster was an important guest of Liszt's, so Hank had to control himself.
"I see." Liszt did not seem to notice Lancaster's probing gaze. He continued, "Everything you've shown is how a top noble should be. I thought you were like them."
The 'them' that Liszt was referring to were the nobles of the Light Continent. The nobles always pursued and liked certain things passionately.
"As a matter of fact, it's all on the surface. I spend most of my time cultivating, "Lancaster explained, but he did not want to linger anymore.
He asked directly, "I wonder why you invited me here this time?"
Liszt was a person that was hard to dislike. He was low-key and humble, and the way he conducted himself was like a spring breeze.
Although he had a domineering air about him, he did not make people feel pressured by him.
He had only been high-profile once, which was when he went against Tang Ling before they sailed out to sea.
Even so, he had won the trust of many. Judging from the ship that followed him, it was obvious.
However, deep down in Lancaster's heart, he admired Tang Ling more. Because of that, his attitude towards Liszt became subtle.
He did not want to offend Tang Ling, nor did he want to get close to him. He did not even have the intention to work with Tang Ling. It was as if he was afraid of Tang Ling's attitude.
Therefore, compared to Liszt's sincere attitude towards him, Lancaster was just brushing him off. He wanted to ask Liszt's purpose before he rejected him.
Liszt did not seem to know about Lancaster's subtle thoughts. After Lancaster asked, he answered.
"Everyone said that this voyage is an opportunity. In terms of resources, it's different now. We'll be experiencing the best resource season in decades. "
Lancaster nodded slightly, but he soon frowned.
Seeing this, Liszt poured the already soaked red wine into their glasses, then raised the red wine glass, shook it a few times, and put it in front of his nose to sniff.
"Lancaster, I know you feel the same way."
"Yes." Lancaster admitted without hesitation. "It's said that this is the best resource season, but we seem to be stuck in a difficult situation. Let's not talk about the Seven Stamen Lotuses for now since the Devil Mist hasn't reached this part of the sea yet.
But … the other two resources are nowhere to be found.
"That's it. It's been five days since we crossed the Tommy Safety Line. Have you seen a single Starlight Nether Fish or half a mutated Tricolored Pearl? " You found half a Mutated Tricolored Pearl? "Liszt took a sip of the red wine in his glass.
Lancaster could not help but raise his glass as well. There was a time limit to the resource season, and if this went on, the chances of finding these two resources would be infinitely smaller once the Devil's Mist arrived.
In the past, even in the worst harvests three years ago, there would be a small school of Nether Fish at this time. They would also find some Nine Orifices Exquisite Shells that contained mutated Tricolor Pearls in the coral reefs. How could it be like this year, where there was no trace of any Nether Fish at all?
Lancaster had reported the strange situation to William Castle, so he had to get help from the faction behind him.
Any abnormality would be accompanied by a special situation. What was the special situation? At the very least, Lancaster was keenly aware that it was impossible for him and his fleet to solve the problem.
In fact, some of the smarter guides had started to do the same.
"I've made contact with my family." There was no need to hide certain things. Liszt was a smart man. He knew Lancaster must have done the same thing, so he might as well reveal the topic.
"Me too. But there's no news. " Lancaster thought Liszt was here to exchange information. Since Liszt was so sincere, there was no need for Lancaster to hide it.
Up until now, he had not received any news.
"Maybe our hero family is luckier. I've received news." Liszt finally got to the main point.
Lancaster stopped talking and looked at Liszt solemnly. He knew what Liszt was going to say next was the most important thing.
"The shoal of Starlight Nether Fish has appeared, a super large shoal." Liszt finished the red wine in his glass.
Instinctively, Lancaster drained the glass of red wine in his hand. Only alcohol could keep him calm at a time like this because if the news was true, it would be …
After Liszt finished the wine, he looked at Lancaster quietly. He had already released the news, so he waited patiently for Lancaster's reaction.
"Super large? How many do you mean? Isn't it an exaggeration? "Lancaster put down his glass and pointed out the main point.
"More than 200,000 Starlight Nether Fish have gathered. Do you think super large is an exaggeration?" Liszt's smile was filled with ridicule.
"Not at all." Even though he tried his best to stay calm, Lancaster's expression started to change.
"What does it mean? You know what I mean. "Liszt was also controlling his emotions.
"It means there will be a lot of resources. The more Starlight Nether Fish we prepare for the advancement, the better it is! It also means there will be a lot of top-grade Starlight Nether Fish in the shoal. It won't be like the previous years where a Level 7 mutated beast Starlight Nether Fish would be sold at an astronomical price. " Lancaster poured himself a glass of red wine even though he could not taste the difference between the top-grade red wine from the old civilization.
He needed alcohol to calm himself down.
"So, it means we can use all the Level 7 mutated beasts, which means the top-grade Starlight Nether Fish, during the advancement! Most importantly … "
"There might be Moonlight Nether Fish in the shoal! Most people only know that Moonlight Nether Fish are very important to Rank 3 Purple Moon Warriors, but they do not know that if anyone can use the Moonlight Nether Fish during the advancement, they will be able to comprehend their talent in advance. At the very least, they will be able to comprehend their talent better than most people. This situation only applies to normal people, not geniuses like us. "Liszt continued Lancaster's words and started to talk about the Moonlight Nether Fish.
He sounded excited as he seemed to be strongly attracted to the Moonlight Nether Fish.
With his identity, it was not impossible for him to use all the top-grade Starlight Nether Fish during the advancement, but even with his identity, it would be a joke if he wanted to get the Moonlight Nether Fish during the advancement.
"Moonlight Nether Fish? Hmph … That's just a guess." Lancaster might be excited, but he was still more realistic. Even if there was a chance of Moonlight Nether Fish appearing in the super large shoal, the probability was not 100%. Even if it was 100%? Would he be able to snatch it? If the Poseidon family knew about it, Lancaster's expression changed.
Lancaster was no longer calm. Since Liszt knew about the news, the Poseidon family must have known as well. They were the kings of the sea.
They might not care about the Starlight Nether Fish, but what about the Moonlight Nether Fish? What kind of attitude would they adopt? If they got involved …
"You've thought about it, haven't you? As a matter of fact, the Poseidon family has crossed the line with the Seven Stamen Lotuses. But who can stop them at sea? "Liszt stood up and paced back and forth.
However, the Hero Dynasty's reception room was limited, so he paced back and forth a few times in a comical manner.
"The news came from the Poseidon family. I'm also sure that the Moonlight Nether Fish have appeared. "
Lancaster was holding his wine glass when he heard the news. His hand trembled and the glass fell to the ground.
However, he was still a top genius, so he quickly grabbed the glass and said to Liszt, "Forgive me for losing my composure. What's the purpose of inviting me here? "
This time, Lancaster's question was no longer a perfunctory one.
This kind of thing, this kind of news, had already exceeded his personal emotions and preferences. It had to be done in a business-like manner.
Even if he admired Tang Ling more, it was nothing compared to that.
"A collaboration! A collaboration is the only way! "Liszt stated his purpose.
"I might have a lot of men following me, but compared to your men, their overall strength is a little weaker."
Yes, the people following Lancaster were all young nobles, and they were all elites. From a certain perspective, Lancaster's fleet was the strongest.
Of course, the calculation did not include the Harvest.
The people on the Harvest were not normal people, but every single one of them was a top genius and they were all gathered on the same ship.
"I should've known that you're here for a collaboration. Otherwise, you wouldn't have shared such important news with me.
Tell me, how do we work together? "Lancaster's attitude was clear.
First of all, he was willing to work together.
There was only one super large shoal, so collaboration was the only way out. Otherwise, he would not even get half a share.
Moreover, he had to work with Tang Ling.
Liszt might have told him an important piece of news on the surface, but he was not giving him a way out.
Liszt was very skillful with his words. He directly released the news. If Lancaster already knew about it, if he did not show some sincerity, he would offend Liszt.
In fact, he would offend the hero family.
After all, the news came from the hero family.
"Very well. I knew you'd make the clearest choice." Liszt extended his hand.
Lancaster hesitated for a while before he shook Liszt's hand.
"Come, let's talk in my room. This is just one of the pieces of information. There will be more information about the shoal, and we need to analyze it together. "Liszt extended his invitation.
"Okay." This time, Lancaster didn't hesitate at all.
**
"You haven't confirmed the movement pattern of the shoal yet?" Samuel spoke into the communication device. His tone was not pleasant anymore.
Since Liszt already knew about the super large shoal, Samuel, as the core member of the Poseidon family and the girl with the most hope, had no reason not to know about it.
As a matter of fact, she knew about it two days earlier than Liszt.
Other than her family tracking the shoal, she was also trying her best to track the whereabouts of the shoal.
The shoal of Starlight Nether Fish followed a certain pattern. Otherwise, they would not have appeared in this area every year.
Who knew the pattern better than the Poseidon family?
However, this year, all the accumulated experience was useless. Until now, the Poseidon family had not even seen a single fish scale.
On the contrary, some passersby would catch a glimpse of the huge shoal from time to time.
However, before they could catch them, they would lose track of them. It was as if they were being led by someone and knew how to avoid danger.
The places where the passersby saw the shoal of Starlight Nether Fish did not have any pattern. Sometimes, they would appear in the same spot in the past, and sometimes, they would appear in a completely different spot.
In short, it was impossible to track the shoal based on anything.
Speaking of which, it was just a small area, but it was already very big! Within a limited time, even the Poseidon family could not search the shoal completely, and it was useless. The shoal moved, so it was possible for them to brush past each other.
Samuel put down the communication device dejectedly.
As a matter of fact, it was not that there was no good news at all. On the day they crossed the Poseidon safety line, she announced that she was going out to sea as well, and by a stroke of luck, the Poseidon family was able to participate in the hunt.
After all, she had announced that she was going out to sea on her own accord. However, there was nothing personal about it. Although she did mean it back then …
'If Tang Ling knows about this, will he be able to find me?' A thought popped up in Samuel's mind uncontrollably as he looked at the communication device.
