Chapter 2479 Mistakes and Crimes
In the next few days, I still accompanied Queen Medusa to visit the Blue Crystal Town.
After touring the entire town, with the afterglow of the setting sun, the calm sea once again stirred up turbulent waves, and the lizardman Naga warriors holding tridents came out in two rows.
The waves surged, the water expanded, and with a dull popping sound, a golden carriage pulled by eight seahorses appeared.
With the support of the two elders, Queen Medusa boarded the carriage and sat on the main seat. She nodded gracefully to the two queens, who also waved goodbye.
With a rumble, the carriage drove into the sea again.
As the carriage left, the Naga warriors also filed away in an orderly manner.
Soon, the sea surface returned to calmness again, and what was left was only the setting sun that had not yet dissipated, the calm and wavy sea surface, and Elder Sixina, who was still looking up with her hands folded in front of her belly.
"Your Excellency, Elder" I stepped forward and whispered: "It's getting late, it's time to go back."
She reluctantly looked at the sea in the distance, sighed softly, turned around, gave a slight salute to the Fairy Queen and the Elf Queen, and said, "I'll make your two majesties laugh."
"Let's go back," the Fairy Queen said: "There are still some necessary procedures to be signed regarding the alliance. I'm afraid I'm going to have to stay up late these days."
"We can do the rest of the work while soaking in the hot springs," the Elf Queen thoughtfully said, "I haven't experienced the taste of the hot springs here yet."
"The hot springs in the imperial capital are naturally better, but it is a rare trip to taste the different tastes. It is also an important part of enjoying life."
The Elf Queen stole a glance at me and snickered: "It's a pity that the palace's hot springs are not only for men, and mixed bathing is not allowed. Our foreign elders may have regrets."
"It doesn't matter," I said with a smile, "I don't mind if a man disguises himself as a woman."
The Fairy Queen chuckled and said: "It is relatively troublesome for a man to dress up as a woman, and it can easily lead to misunderstandings. It is better to do a small operation and slightly change the way a certain organ exists. The comfortable hot spring will always be open to you."
"Uh, no, thank you for your kindness. Compared with hot springs, I prefer showers and ordinary baths. To be honest, I can't get used to the smell of sulfur."
The three women smiled and said nothing.
Returning to the palace, entered the side hall, walked into the room, and sat on the sofa.
The waiter brought the tea and placed it on the table. He bowed and left. When he walked out of the room, he did not forget to close the door behind him.
I was the only one left in the empty room. I took a deep breath and tasted the strong smell of the sea. I raised my hands and tapped lightly.
When the fifth high-five was heard, a figure came through the half-open window, rolled over, knelt on one knee, and said, "Master."
"How's it going?"
"It's a little underheated."
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"The person who met me did not have contact with anyone the whole day today. He only drank, ate, and slept, and never left the hotel."
"Where's the waiter?" I asked, "Is there anything unusual?"
"No," the assassin said, "the waiter is doing everything as usual."
"I'm not on duty today. I thought he would take this opportunity to do something."
"I'm afraid the master will be disappointed," the assassin said: "According to the observer's report, the waiter has noticed that you are repelling him and has concluded that you have doubts about his identity. He has not moved a step since he returned to the palace yesterday. .”
"So, I acted too brilliantly and attracted his attention?"
"Master, please forgive me."
"You are not guilty, tell me."
"Yes, I believe it is indeed my master's problem. If you had not intervened, perhaps I would have been able to figure out the identity and whereabouts of the mastermind earlier."
"But if I hadn't intervened, someone would have been poisoned and someone would have died."
"However, this will put you in danger." The assassin raised his head and said seriously: "Protecting the master is the first priority of a subordinate."
"Protecting Your Majesty is also the first priority of my trip. You protect me and I will protect Your Majesty. No one of us will delay. It's just that the route we take may be longer, but isn't this an exciting challenge?"
"I don't care whether it's exciting or not. I only know that protecting the master is our first duty."
"Okay, okay, I can't explain this kind of thing to you for a while. Just remember, on the premise of ensuring your life, find the person behind the scenes as soon as possible. I still have a lot of things to do. , can’t delay too long on this.”
"Yes, my subordinates will definitely go all out."
"Oh, by the way, I will contact Boss Ren and send some people over to follow your orders. I just want to find out the mastermind in the shortest possible time."
"Yes, I will find out the mastermind as soon as possible, and I will live up to my master's expectations."
After saying that, he stood up and left quietly along the original path.
He took out the communication crystal and dialed the number of Boss Ren, explained the matter and asked him to send more people.
Boss Renne agreed without hesitation. It seemed that he had a lot of disciples during this period.
The tutoring industry seems tiring, but in fact it has many benefits, the most obvious of which is that the world is full of talents.
After that, I called Master Dewey and confirmed that he had returned to Fort Vicky and was beginning to analyze the scientific data on the Celestial Clan relics that he had brought.
I asked him how he dealt with the matter of the scientists and adventurers who died. After all, their bodies were not even brought back to their hometowns. I guess the families of the victims would not let it go.
Master Dewey sighed deeply: "What else can be done? Those who have brought back their bodies will be returned to their families and given generous pensions. Those who have not brought back their bodies can only be comforted with huge pensions."
"Can money soothe their sorrow?" I asked.
"Otherwise?" Master Dewey asked, "Sacrificing more people to recover the lost remains? This is unrealistic, and I won't do it."
He took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and said, "I have already lost too many companions on this trip. I cannot allow more innocent companions to lose their lives. This is inhumane."
"Those companions who accompanied you and died protecting your evacuation cannot even recover their bodies. Is this humane?"
"Xiaoyi, my son," Master Dewey sighed softly: "I am also very sad about their death, and I am also very sad about the loss of their remains, but in the face of immeasurable unknown forces, any accident is not innocent. But knowing that he was going to die and instructing other innocent people to die in vain is a crime and murder."
"I can take responsibility for my mistakes, but I cannot commit crimes. Mistakes can be corrected, but crimes are stains that cannot be erased in life. Perhaps only death can wash them away."
