Chapter 259: The Lord of Pearl City, a Traitor?

Hearing Michelle's words, the players stepped forward to get the wooden box.

[Range is Truth], that is, Lao Li walked in front of the crowd.

With his strong physique of level 26, he lifted a large wooden box of nearly two cubic meters without any effort.

The wooden box should be filled with food. Through the gap between the wooden boards of the wooden box, you can smell some moldy wheat.

But carrying such a large box will definitely affect your movement, so Lao Li tried to stuff it into his backpack.

With a gentle push, the wooden box was easily stuffed into the backpack, and it only took up one grid.

[Strategic Supply Box (Quest Item)]

Item Description: A wooden box filled with various military supplies. Give the wooden box to the quartermaster [Oklang] of the General Defense Department of Orlan City, coordinates (114,514), and you can receive a generous reward.

Note: Because the box is too heavy, the player carrying the box will be affected by the negative effect of [Overload].

Lao Li glanced at the status bar and found that he did have an additional negative status.

[Overload]: Your movement speed decreases by 30%, your riding speed decreases by 15%, and you cannot use the teleportation array. Duration N/A.

Seeing this negative state, Lao Li immediately understood.

They cannot use the teleportation array when carrying boxes. That means they must ride their mounts through the obstacles set up by the rebels to return to Oran City?

Then can a player carry multiple boxes at the same time?

Lao Li decided to give it a try and reached for another box at hand.

But soon he received a game prompt: "You can't carry more armament boxes."

The attempt failed.

Lao Li stepped aside and made way for other players to take the box.

At the same time, he said to Su Yu who was standing at the back of the crowd: "Boss Ke, after we get the box, we can't use the teleportation array to go back, but must go by land."

"I thought of this a long time ago." Su Yu shrugged: "If we can use the teleportation array, then this task is too simple. After all, this is a three-in-one main plot. How can we complete it so easily?"

And the rewards for this three-in-one main plot are very generous. The reward for Su Yu is the magic medicine-[Pangen Potion]; the reward for the players is 15,000 experience points, 200 psychic coins, and a pet egg of random quality.

If the task can be completed simply with the teleportation array, then this task will definitely not have such a high reward.

Old Li nodded and said nothing. Standing on the side of the crowd, he began to think about how to do the task.

On the way to transport the task items back to Oran City, they will definitely encounter the pursuit and interception of the rebels. What should they do to bring back as many supplies as possible?

...

There are 20,000 wooden boxes in the warehouse, and each player has one.

After the players emptied the warehouse, Su Yu said goodbye to Michelle beside him: "Lord City Lord, let's set off now."

"Goodbye, Nemesis, I must come to Pearl City to play in the future!" Michelle smiled and said goodbye to Su Yu.

"Sure, sure!"

Su Yu rode on his mount and led the players towards the west gate.

...

But as the team moved forward, Su Yu frowned, and he felt that something seemed to be even more wrong.

His suspicion of City Lord Michelle was gradually deepening.

In the process of building his territory, Su Yu went to Pearl City frequently and dealt with many merchants in Pearl City.

As far as he knew, the merchants in Pearl City had strong "business habits".

Under normal circumstances, if Orlan City sold 20,000 boxes of supplies at one time, with a total price of over 100 million, they would definitely count the supplies and write a detailed bill for him to pass on to the princess.

Although it is not known whether the princess has paid the deposit, for such a large transaction, the merchants will definitely find Su Yu to confirm the time node for the final payment in detail, and will let Su Yu go after repeated verification.

But now there is nothing.

Lord Michelle did not talk about money throughout the whole process, neither did he count the goods nor worry about the final payment, which is completely different from the usual style of Pearl City!

This made Su Yu more suspicious.

Su Yu rode Tima at the front of the large group while thinking.

Seeing Su Yu frowning and thinking, Lao Li, who was riding the [Red Velociraptor] mount and following Su Yu, smiled and said: "Boss Ke, are you also thinking about how to do the task?"

"No." Su Yu replied.

Old Li's body shook and he almost fell off his horse: "What are you thinking about? You are not thinking about what to eat for lunch, are you?"

"Of course not." Su Yu's mouth twitched: "I was thinking about the Lord of Pearl City."

Su Yu trusted Old Li very much and did not hide anything. He told him all about his meeting with Michelle, their communication and the unusual things.

After listening to Su Yu's description, Old Li touched his chin and nodded: "So that's what happened."

"This kind of thing is indeed not easy to judge. After all, we currently have too little information. Only these fragmentary evidences are not enough to determine whether there is a problem with the Lord of Pearl City. But-"

Old Li stretched out his voice: "But this kind of thing should be easy for you, Mr. Ke, right?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Su Yu was stunned.

Old Li glanced around, then lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Ke, don't you have the ability to predict the future?"

Su Yu: "Uh"

Old Li: "Why don't you predict the future and see if the Lord of Pearl City is still Michelle after the first expansion pack ends?"

"If she is still the Lord of Pearl City at that time, it means that she definitely did not betray the princess;"

"On the contrary, if she is not the Lord of Pearl City at that time, she either betrayed the princess or died on the battlefield. The probability of her dying on the battlefield at her level is very low, and the high probability is that she betrayed the princess."

"Yes! Why didn't I think of it?" Su Yu slapped his thigh, his eyes brightened.

Although Old Li's method cannot be 100% certain, it is still very valuable for reference!

Su Yu quickly recalled the Pearl City in his previous life.

The Lord of Pearl City in his previous life was not Michelle Dranke, nor was he a descendant of the Dranke family, but a royal family member named Ralfa Plantagenet.

Su Yu was impressed by this Lord of Rafar. He often pretended to be a bard to sing in various taverns. Because of his handsome appearance, he had ambiguous relationships with many women. Once, he was caught in bed by his wife and was chased naked on the street.

Lord Rafar is a member of the royal family, which means that after the first expansion pack, Pearl City was directly governed by the royal family.

The Drake family even lost their base camp. Looking back, it seems that Lord Michel is most likely a traitor!

Su Yu touched his chin thoughtfully.

It seems that after returning to Orlan City, he must make it clear to Alice!
