A mournful scream rang out in the dungeon of Blood Castle. The sharp voice cut through the space, causing one's hair to stand on end. The Blood Castle's dungeon was like hell. The prisoners locked up inside either died extremely miserably or lived a life in prison that never saw the light of day. Some people said that the castle of Blood Dusk was dyed red with human blood. Although this statement was exaggerated, it was somewhat close to the truth.
After the morning interrogation, the warden of the dungeon received a new batch of prisoners. Among them, the bartender and Dick had their tongues gouged out, one dead and one injured. However, the two of them were much luckier than the others who had not been punished immediately but had been thrown into the dungeon. At the very least, after Dick's eyes were crushed by the count, the man was thrown out of the castle. He, who was already blind, could at least live outside Blood Castle, but the others would have to spend the rest of their lives in the dark dungeon.
There was no word for mercy in Eric's dictionary, not to mention that these people were of great importance this time, so naturally, no one would be spared.
In the hall, Eric was sleeping with his eyes closed, thinking about how to set up tonight's operation. Suddenly, she felt something and opened her eyes. You Lian hurriedly rushed into the hall and half-knelt on the ground. "Not good, count. Taylor and the Nagas are preparing to leave. A merchant ship belonging to the Golden Radiance Chamber of Commerce is ready at the harbor and will set sail in half an hour! "
Eric's eyes were half-closed, and a bloody light shot out from his pupils like swords. "They are also straightforward. It has been hard on Taylor for most of his life. He is actually planning to abandon his estate and not escape?"
"Marlene." The count called softly.
The shadow behind him gradually grew thicker, as if an invisible mist was constantly surging out. A pale figure gradually appeared from the shadows. Marlene slowly walked behind the count and said, "My men are not here yet. It will be afternoon at the earliest."
"It's too late. We have to move out immediately." Eric stood up and said indifferently, "You Lian, go prepare with the steel cannon. This is your chance to atone for your crimes."
You Lian lowered her head and said, "This subordinate understands."
'"This time, my Blood Fang Knight cannot move out. Otherwise, it will leave a joke for the royal family. Therefore, you Night Ghosts and Snake Belle will be in charge of the operation. Of course, I will also participate, but I have to change my identity. There's not much time left. Split up immediately. Gather at the port in twenty minutes. "
The dock of Killer Whale Harbor was still so lively. It seemed to be so busy every day. The returning fishing boats would unload a large amount of seafood at the dock, and the workers would be busy transporting the goods to the warehouse. Occasionally, they would catch a big whale and slaughter it at the dock, attracting countless onlookers.
Today, a Blue Island Chamber of Commerce's long-distance fishing boat caught a deep-sea scaled whale. Scaled whales were a relatively common whale in Santa Trina's waters. They were much smaller than narwhals, but there were many of them. Just like its name suggested, the Scaled Whale's body was covered with palm-sized, circular scales, which made it look more like a big fish. Although the scaled whale's scales were thin, they were extremely hard. It was difficult for swords and knives to pierce through, and even muskets couldn't break it. Therefore, it was usually the weapons merchants who would purchase the scales and hand them over to the workshops for the production of scale armor.
Of course, these scales were usually supplied to the imperial troops or the duke's private army. They were resources controlled by the empire and would not easily enter the general market.
As soon as the Blue Island Chamber of Commerce's fishing boat arrived at the harbor, the workers carried the three-tailed scaled whale to the slaughterhouse and handed it over to a specialist for slaughter. Killing whales was not a simple task, especially for whales like the scaled whale. Not only did they have to untie the whale's body, but they also had to preserve as many scales as possible. Especially the soft scales on the whale's abdomen. These scales were soft and snow-white, and the quality of the scales was the best. Of course, the scales were also the most expensive.
Therefore, only an experienced whale dissection master could remove them from the whale's body intact. As the whale's dying cry came from the direction of the slaughterhouse, several carriages drove into the dock. In one of the carts, a childish voice shouted, "I'm going to kill those bastards!"
Lily was very angry, and her eyes were filled with killing intent. Wei Fu, who was sitting next to her, could only advise, "Your Highness, we can't afford to cause trouble now. Please let those people go."
"One day, I'll destroy this sinful city. Just this port alone kills countless lives in the ocean every year. Humans are a group of demons living on the earth! "Naga's Highness said angrily. She was impulsive and willful. However, they still knew what was important. Today, they would leave on the ship of the Golden Radiance Trading Company. After arriving at the outer sea, they would summon the Seabed Palace to Ark Harbor.
This time, it was a secret departure. The Nagas could not be exposed to the eyes of humans, otherwise they would attract unnecessary trouble.
Belmore and Kira were in another carriage with Taylor. Taylor asked Allen about it. After all, there weren't many humans that Lily could describe with so many modifiers. It would be a lie for Taylor to say that he wasn't interested. Belmore didn't hide anything, only omitting the fact that they weren't residents of Planet Heaven. To give Allen a false identity, he began with Sur City and went all the way to Earl Oban, and briefly explained it.
Taylor was only casually inquiring about it, but after hearing it, he seriously examined Ellen. In his opinion, if what Belmore said was true, then Allen, the baron, could be said to be young and ambitious. Taylor was moved. If he could work with someone like Allen, it would be of great help to his career. Most importantly, Allen and the Naga Clan had a common enemy. If Taylor attached himself to his wings, there was no need to worry about being betrayed.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the dock. Taylor smiled and said, "When I've settled everything, I'll definitely go to Ark Harbor to visit Sir Allen if I have time. At that time, I just hope he won't refuse. "
"Of course not," Bescot said cheerfully. "If Taylor's husband is interested in cooperating with our master, that's exactly what he wants."
Taylor chuckled and didn't say anything. How could a person like him, who was in the mall, easily make a promise? Although Allen was good, Taylor had to see him face to face before he could decide.
After getting off the carriage, the Golden Radiance Trading Company's merchant ship, the Sunrise, was moored in front of everyone. The Sunrise was an ocean-going merchant ship and Taylor's best ship. The Sunrise was equipped with two cannons and broadsides on both sides. There were a group of loyal guards on board all year round, but today, there were some other mysterious guards. These guards were all wearing cloaks and stayed in the bottom cabin without coming out. Those were the ten Azure Dragon Knight that Weaver had transferred over. In addition to Jenna, who had previously protected Taylor, there were a total of eleven Azure Dragon Knight guards on the ship.
In addition to Lily, who was extremely powerful, and a few elders including Wei Fu, this power could no longer be underestimated. If Belmore was included, then it would be a few more points higher. With this power protecting him, Taylor was very relieved. Unless Eric sent out a large army, it would be difficult to keep them here. However, what Eric had done could not be exposed. This was also the dock, and no matter how unwilling the Bloody Earl was, he could not force it.
After boarding the ship, Taylor immediately ordered the sailors to set sail and the merchant ship left the harbor.
Belmore and Kira couldn't stay in the cabin any longer, so they both came to the deck. Leaning against the railing, they watched as Killer Whale Harbor gradually shrank in their eyes. They had only stayed in this city for one night, but they felt that they had experienced a lot. This city had always left a deep mark in their memories.
The sea breeze blew Kira's show, and she silently looked at the pier that was getting further and further away. Belmore waved his hand in front of her and said, "What, is there something on your mind?"
She turned around and looked at her beloved man. "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, what did Young Master Allen do that time? I know your situation very well, and I'm ready to lose you. But you came back to me intact. Originally, I was going to pretend to be confused. After all, there were some things that I didn't want to know so much about, so that I could live more easily. But His Highness called you an Immortal, which makes me very concerned. "
"What, I'm afraid that you'll be old in the future, but I'll still be like this?" Belmore said half-jokingly.
Qi stretched out her hand and stroked his handsome face. "I'm just worried that if I'm gone and you live alone in this world, will you feel lonely?"
The softest place in his heart ached slightly. Belmore grabbed her hand and kissed it softly. "You can think of it this way. If Young Master Allen hadn't given me a second chance, we wouldn't have even had the time we'd spent together for decades. Since there are so many blessings, why should I think so far ahead? "
"Perhaps, you're right." Kira forced a smile. She knew that Belmore didn't want to reveal too much about Allen.
Belmore sighed in his heart. Allen and he both had many secrets. And there were some secrets that Kira couldn't know. No matter how much he liked Kira, he couldn't reveal these secrets. This was the least he could do.
At this moment, Kira pointed to the left side of the sea and said, "Look, there seem to be a few boats coming towards us."
Belmore looked up and saw that there were indeed a few medium-sized sailboats coming out of the other docks, but they turned a corner and hung behind their tails. What Belmore cared about was that there were no obvious signs on these boats. One had to know that the ships that entered and left Killer Whale Harbor belonged to different chambers of commerce or organizations. They would all hang the logo of their own chambers of commerce or organizations on the ships to distinguish them.
There was no logo, since the other party did not want others to know their identities. In this way, their intentions were not so friendly.
"Our trouble is coming. Go inform Taylor. I'll keep an eye on him here." Belmore said in a low voice.
Eric put down a telescope from his hand and handed it to You Lian beside him. The count whispered, "Just follow them like this and wait until we get to the open sea."
"Yes, my lord."
(So it's been 19 days since the third watch. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Has everyone eaten palm seeds? Hey. There are still ten days left. Come on!)
