Chapter 1144: The Vulture Appears
The sun gradually rose, and the pier gradually became lively. The fishing boat was about to go to sea, the captain shouted loudly to the sailors who were still asleep, and the crowing of roosters and the barking of dogs could be heard in the distance, all of which told Solo that it was getting late.
It is indeed late.
It was nine o'clock in the morning, and Solo's patience was wearing thin. He began sending out scouting ships to look outside the harbour, but found nothing. Until noon, he suddenly knew that Julian and the others would not come. Seventy-eight out of ten that news is false.
"Damn vulture." Solo didn't care about lunch, he ordered all the warships to leave the port, and re-hoisted the flags that had been removed. After such a toss, the people in Hongye Port knew that there was an extra naval fleet at the dock at some point, and this fleet would set off soon. But Santa Terina is so vast, and the whereabouts of the missing merchant ship, how can it be so easy to track down?
On the deck of the large ship, Solo leaned on the fence, cursing the vulture no less than a hundred times in his heart. Regardless of whether the bastard sent false news on purpose, or his identity was found out, in Solo's eyes, he was no different from a fool.
"It's best for such an incompetent person to die." The admiral finally said.
His fleet can no longer go south. The Boleyn family organized a family fleet not long ago and expelled several navies stationed in the south, claiming that before the end of Julian's return to Oliska, the southern seas will be completely blocked. , prohibiting all imperial warships from entering. Otherwise, it will be regarded as war.
Solo didn't want to challenge the background of an ancient family, especially in that family there were three holy-name powerhouses on the surface, and the ghost knew if there were other powers in the dark.
The Admiral's guess is undoubtedly correct. The three merchant ships carrying Julian did not enter Hongye Port, and Allen and others did not intend to abandon the ship and go ashore. They set off before sunrise and had already passed Hongye Harbor at dawn. Solo was still waiting for them on the deck of the building at that time. By the time the navy's reconnaissance ships were operating in the bay, the merchant ships were already out of their sight.
A man looks out the porthole at the sea, he sighs. This middle-aged man is thin and stooped. People who know him call him hunchback. As for the real name, no one remembers it. He is Thorin's groom and servant, and he has served Thorin for more than ten years, and he is deeply trusted. At a time like this, the hunchback should have gone down to the hold to tend the horses and make sure they made it to the south in good health. But he is still in the room now, showing no intention of moving at all.
until someone knocks on the door.
The hunchback opened the door, and there were two soldiers. The hunchback knew that they were the earl's subordinates on the ship, and the soldier said, "Mr. Thorin wants to see you."
The hunchback nodded, walked out the door, and closed it. He touched the doorknob and said, "Please lead the way.
"
Under the guidance of the soldiers, the hunchback finally came to the end deck of the ship. He looked up and glanced, not only Thorin was there, but important figures such as Julian and Allen were here. Julian turned his back to him and looked at the sea in front of him, while Thorin came over and said in a deep voice, "Habrin, do you have anything to say?"
Harblin was the hunchback's name, and only Thorin would call him by that name, not one hunchback at a time like the others.
Hunchback, no, Hublin smiled. Then slowly straightened up, and finally stood up straight. Only then did Thorin realize that the groom himself was not short at all. hublin with calm
(This chapter is not over, please turn the page) looked at Thorin and laughed: "I have nothing to say, my lord. I can only say that your lord's plan is brilliant. He deliberately leaked the itinerary to let me spread the false news, cleverly. Let the Imperial Navy rush into the air. It’s just that I don’t know, when did your lord know my identity?”
"Thorin doesn't know your identity. In fact, none of us know." Alan replied instead of Thorin: "I told Your Highness before that the land environment is more beneficial to vultures. But I didn't say that, The premise is that he can bear not to communicate with the outside world at sea. Unfortunately, you can’t help it, and at sea, the only means of conveying messages are birds like ravens. So as long as you monitor the movement on the ship, you can find clue."
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid I have more eyes and ears than you think."
What Habrin didn't know was that when he released the raven in a hidden corner, a steel front warrior hidden in the dark had a panoramic view. Every steel warrior is Lucy's eyes, and these steel soldiers will not reveal their breath like humans, so the cautious Hublin showed his feet. Of course, these arrangements do not need to be pointed out to the vultures.
Hublin nodded, then looked at Thorin and said, "I'm an orphan. The war made me lose my parents and my homeland. I wandered between different territories. I almost died at the hands of some local ruffians when I was seven years old. At that time, a man saved me. He fed me, clothed me, and taught me other things. I didn't know until I was older that he was going to make me a vulture."
"Afterwards, I followed you, my lord. You treated me very well, my lord. Although I was pretending to be a hunchback, you still called me by my name. You are a respectable person. And thankfully, My boss has never been given a task, and I thought I would continue to be your groom until one day I quietly left. But not long ago, when I almost forgot my true identity, that task came down."
Hublin knelt down and bowed his head to Thorin: "Your Excellency must be able to guess what happened next. The reason why I told Your Excellency was not to beg for mercy from Your Excellency. I just wanted to tell Your Excellency that Hublin would rather be your lord." I don’t want to be that vulture, but fate didn’t give me a chance to choose. Now, I have nothing to say, and now I can only hope that your journey will be smooth, I... I..."
The man on the ground suddenly coughed violently, and Thorin quickly helped him up, but seeing that Habrin was already foaming at the mouth, he smiled at Thorin and stopped breathing.
Looking at his dead body, Thorin could only let out a sigh with mixed emotions.
"When we arrive at Ark Port, bury him." Julian said softly.
Thorin bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness."
It is not surprising that a vulture like Hublin is thrown into the sea to feed fish after death. Now that Julian said that, it was very kind, but Thorin thanked him on behalf of Hublin. After Thorin left the deck with the corpse, Julian breathed out, wanting to break the strange atmosphere on the deck, he deliberately laughed and said: "Earl Allen, you actually included me in it. I really thought that today I will I got off the boat at Hongye Port, and asked someone to pack my things for me last night."
Allen shook his head and smiled: "If you don't trick His Highness into it, how can you fool the vultures on the boat. Until this moment, we always
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) It is really safe. "
Julian nodded and looked at the sea in front of the ship: "What kind of place is Ark Port?"
"Your Highness will know soon," Allen said.
But in fact, it's not going to happen anytime soon. Starting from Tiger Shark Port and going to Ark Port by water, even if the wind is smooth, it will take about 20 days at the fastest. Therefore, when the merchant ship arrived at the Ark Port, it was already a month later.
When the morning light dawned, Ruola was sitting in front of the mirror, and the maid was combing her long hair. She looked at herself in the mirror. A few months ago she was Miss Ruola, but now she was Mrs. Orlando. After the grand wedding was held in Gun City, Ruo La and Orlando went to Ark Port, and the two took care of the territory together. Orlando is humorous, gentle and considerate, and anyone will be very happy to get along with him.
Ruola was no exception. At first, she still thought of that person from time to time. But now, she feels that she has forgotten the past. But after receiving a message, that person came back to her mind.
Today, three merchant ships carrying Julian will arrive at Ark Harbor. Following the arrival of the prince, there was also Alan. Ruola looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly shook her head. At this time Orlando came in, looked at his wife in front of the mirror and whistled: "Our Ms. Ruola is always so beautiful."
Ruola rolled her eyes, and the maid behind her laughed lightly. Orlando waved his hand and took over the work of the maid. The latter had already seen the strangeness, and just took the opportunity to leave the room, leaving space for the couple. Orlando changed Jola's long hair and fixed it with a jeweled hairnet. He looked at his wife in the mirror and said, "You don't look very happy."
Ruo stretched his hand and gently took Orlando's hand: "How about, I won't go to the port to meet you, and you will be the representative."
"How about that? In name, you are the agent of Ark Harbor, and I'm your follower." Orlando held her shoulders with both hands: "I know what you're thinking, you're afraid of seeing Alan, right? Rola, how many times I have to tell you, I don't mind you thinking of him now. It's scary to me if you forget someone you loved so easily."
"Just like I still haven't forgotten the girl I loved when I was an ignorant teenager, that is a beautiful memory for me. And it is because of these beautiful memories that my life will become fuller." Orlando Shrugged and said: "Or do you think I'm a stingy man who would be jealous for a relationship that has ended since the beginning? Please, that guy Alan is not as attractive as me, I need to be jealous of him ?”
He made a haha.
Ruola laughed, and Orlando's words untied the last knot in her heart. She stood up, kissed Orlando on the cheek and said, "Thank you."
"If you really want to thank me, let's do something real." Orlando looked at the big bed with a smirk.
Rola snorted: "Don't think about it, I don't want to waste another hour to fix my hair. Don't you say you are my servant? Then come with me, Mr. Orlando, and don't let our distinguished guests wait in the port. Master, that would be too rude."
Looking at his wife who had returned to her usual self-color, Orlando bowed exaggeratedly: "I will follow your orders, madam."
Ruola's deliberately tense face immediately burst out laughing.
