Chapter 3946 When the battle song sounds, you're in big trouble!
Chapter 3946 Once the battle song sounds, you're in big trouble!
The team escorting the supplies, led by Fal, entered the 10th Division's base without any trouble. After completing the handover, Fal immediately left with his men.
What Far was unaware of was that outside the base, a pair of eyes were secretly watching the entire handover process.
Falgaro's butler, the vice-captain of the Third Squad... Tomkins.
Am I overthinking it?
The journey was surprisingly smooth... It's normal that no one would dare to mess with the people of the Armed Hall in the [Gorge of Freedom and Wildness].
But a tiny bit of doubt remained in Tomkins' mind... He shook his head, a vague unease creeping over him.
It seems... he shouldn't leave Lord Falgaro's residence temporarily because of his suspicions.
……
"...Hey, I knew you old man Tomkins would be worried and follow me out!"
In Falgarro's mansion, without Tomkins as the guardian spirit, the witch could move about as if the place were empty!
I wonder if there's anything good in Falgaro's house?
Miss Witch rubbed her hands together like a fly, and quietly pushed open the door to the study... The room was brightly lit and exceptionally luxurious.
Miss Witch had no interest in the documents on the desk, but casually picked up an ornament and performed a temporary [Star Creation] soul-binding.
The ornament imbued with the spirit of [Star Creation] is an exquisite platinum serpent. At this moment, the serpent behind [Star Creation] slowly climbs up from the shelf and releases a tender affection towards the witch.
"You must have been in this study for quite a while, right?" the witch said with a smile. "Are there any hidden compartments or traps in Falgarro's study? Has he hidden anything here?"
The snake flicked its tongue and immediately climbed down from the desk. Soon it reached a bookshelf and took down three books from different locations.
The bookshelf slowly opened, revealing a large black door engraved with magic patterns.
"Mommy, that's Falgaro's collection room. He keeps some artworks and weapons there, and he goes in to admire them when he has free time." The platinum serpent jumped onto the witch's shoulder, as if showing off its accomplishment. "But opening this door seems to require a special technique; from my angle, I can't see it!"
"This is truly a stroke of luck!" The witch chuckled. "If it were any other lock, I would have had a real headache over it, but this magic-patterned lock is simply fantastic!"
Everyone knows that the Star Witch is the number one wanted criminal on the Science side... but the witch is actually from the Magic side. The witch who can create such a heaven-defying skill as the Star Creation Technique has a master-level understanding of magic and magic power!
As a master of magic, it's perfectly normal for him to be able to pick locks!
The witch then took out a stethoscope, similar to those commonly used by doctors, from the Star Creation Realm and attached it to the black door with its magic-patterned lock.
"Hmm... Oh... I see... Let's go!"
In less than a minute, all the locks on the black door were unlocked... The witch rubbed her hands together again, "Falgaro, I'm sorry, I have to do it this time. What can I do? I'm poor."
Of course, she didn't think there would be anything here that would be a core treasure for Falgar Law—but it didn't matter, even if it was an artwork with a premium, she could always find someone willing to pay for it in the void.
The witch was overwhelmed by the sheer number of paintings and the abundance of weapons and armor. Although she would be able to use Little Dream to lay golden eggs in a few days, she would be even happier to make a fortune before then!
"I'm back! I'm back, my 300 million!!"
Squeak—squeak! Squeak squeak squeak! !!! ! !
Suddenly, a piercing sound rang out... causing the witch to narrow her eyes immediately. "What the heck?"
Falgarro's private exhibition room was huge, like a small museum... Just then, following the strange sound, the witch found... a monkey at a corner!
A monkey wearing a red vest, with big eyes, was staring at her and chattering away!
"Does Falgaro keep pets? I never noticed before." The witch subconsciously rubbed her chin and began to study it... A monkey that Falgaro keeps here must be quite something, right?
"Snake Baby, is this monkey the one that Falgaro has been keeping all this time?"
"No, this was brought back by Lord Falgaro." The Platinum Serpent said thoroughly, "I saw Lord Falgaro bring this monkey back and then bring it here. As for its origin, I don't know."
"Emmmm..." The witch suddenly shook her head, "Living things are too troublesome, bye-bye~"
Miss Witch turned and left, then continued to rummage through the exhibits around her.
Unexpectedly, the monkey in the cage shook even more vigorously and pulled out a gold coin about half the size of a palm from inside its red vest!
The witch, who had been facing away from the monkey, suddenly seemed to have grown eyes in the back of her head and instantly stepped back, asking curiously, "What's this?"
The monkey presented the gold coins from the cage like a treasure, then pounded on the cage, looking very ingratiating.
The gold coin was very rough, with a skull pattern engraved in the center and a large number of secret runes around it, and some hidden power was lurking there.
"I've never seen this before..." The witch narrowed her eyes. "Besides, it seems like a very troublesome thing. You want this in exchange for me helping you get rid of it? Isn't that a bit too presumptuous?"
The monkey was clearly very perceptive of human nature, and at this moment it showed a very reluctant expression, constantly taking out all sorts of items from its red vest.
This vest is clearly a spatial artifact... but most of what the monkey pulls out are worthless items—suddenly, a dark blue pearl fell to the floor, round and rolling to the witch's feet, which she picked up instinctively.
"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak..."
"Oh ho, you're saying this thing isn't worth much? You have something far more valuable that you want me to not take this pearl?"
"...Squeak (Why can you understand me?)?"
"What? If I let you out, this pearl is mine?" The witch said with a smile, "Alright, I'll set you free!"
"squeak????"
But at that moment, the witch suddenly frowned and subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the exhibition hall. "How come that old man Tomkins is back so quickly?"
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through the exhibition room, carrying a large number of items directly into the [Star Creation World]... At this moment, Miss Witch picked up the cage that was trapping the monkey and walked out of the exhibition room at an extremely fast speed.
Before leaving, she even had time to restore the magic rune lock—and even release the Platinum Serpent's [Star Creation] power.
……
"Lord Tomkins, you're back!"
"During my absence, has anything happened at home?"
"no!"
"Did you hear any strange noises or anything like that?"
"nor!"
Tomkins, the butler, nodded slightly, and then, as usual, surveyed every part of the mansion—when he arrived at the study, he felt a slightly indescribable feeling.
He pushed open the study door, and the brightly lit room offered a clear view of the entire space. "Hmm..."
"Tomkins, so you've been here all along."
“Ah… Lord Falgar Law, you’re back.” Butler Tomkins bowed quickly.
Then Falgarro nodded, casually took off his top hat and handed it to the butler... Butler Tomkins quickly called a servant to make tea.
After Falgarro sat down, he closed his eyes.
Tomkins smiled slightly and said, "It seems that Blackbeard is still as difficult to deal with as ever."
“It’s nothing,” Falgar Law said calmly. “This is still the headquarters of the Pirate Alliance. Even if he were Edward Blackbeard, he wouldn’t cause trouble. Besides, I’ve already arranged for the Queen Anne’s Revenge to be stationed near the Black Pearl.”
Butler Tomkins paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Then Jack Sparrow must be feeling pretty bad right now... Did you arrange this on purpose, sir, to have Blackbeard test the new captain of the Black Pearl? But didn't the King already send Admiral Lee..."
Falgaro slightly opened his eyes. "Li Huamei is Li Huamei, and I... am me."
Tomkins nodded slightly. Just then, a servant brought in tea, which he took from the servant and then poured for Falgaro himself.
No more words were spoken.
Falgaro began looking at the documents on his desk... It wasn't until late at night, after finishing his official business, that Falgaro let out a sigh of relief, as if remembering something, "Go check on Barbossa's monkey, it must be hungry."
He chuckled softly, casually picked up a fruit from the fruit plate, and then directly activated the mechanism of the secret exhibition hall.
He wouldn't hide it from Tomkins... because Tomkins could open the magic lock inside just the same way.
"Tomkins, did you go in and clean today?"
"Today?" Butler Tomkins was taken aback upon hearing this, and then frowned.
Falgaro seemed to realize something, his brow furrowed, and he suddenly accelerated the unlocking of the door—the moment the door opened, what came into their eyes was a messy secret exhibition hall, as if a typhoon had passed through... it looked like it had been chewed by a dog!
"This……"
A terrifying aura surged from the mansion in an instant, and then, above the city of Rogue, the wind and clouds swirled and coalesced into a pair of unusually large, brownish-yellow spiral pupils!
The majority of people in the city of [Rogge] trembled instantly!
At the same time, several different thoughts quickly drifted over.
"Falgaro, what are you up to in the middle of the night? I was having a good time with you! And you woke me up!" It was a rough voice.
"Who made you angry?" That voice... it's [Xiang Feihu's] voice.
"Falgaro?" That was the voice of the scholar from the Armed Hall.
They were all high-ranking members of the pirate crew.
Falgaro was still in his study, but the terrifying aura emanating from him began to subside. He replied calmly, "It's nothing. As the defender of the Gorge of Freedom and Wildness, I'm just trying to intimidate those restless fellows a little... After all, the people who have come these past few days have been too chaotic."
"You're insane!" the gruff voice cursed before the thought dissipated.
"Don't frighten the child," [Xiang Feihu] said calmly, and then his thoughts left.
The higher-ups gradually withdrew their attention... Finally, the scholar hesitated and said, "Falgaro, not to be mean, but... how about I get you some more pomelo leaves?"
"Are you very free?"
"Oh dear... I suddenly remembered I haven't practiced calligraphy today! I'll take my leave now!"
Inside the study of the mansion.
Butler Tomkins said in a deep voice, "Sir, I failed in my duty tonight. I shouldn't have left without permission!"
Falgaro's emotions had stabilized. Looking at the private room that had been chewed up by dogs... no one would believe he wasn't heartbroken, but he wasn't going to hold a grudge against Tomkins for it.
"Tell me in detail what happened tonight."
……
……
……
……
"Oh dear, Falgaro's fur has gone wild! How scary!"
The witch had already returned to her inn room—by this time, the inn's guests had long been awakened by Falgar Law's terrifying aura.
The Star Witch didn't care about any of that... She glanced at Xiao Meng in the next room.
This princess who lays golden eggs is actually sleeping soundly. I really don't know if she's just oblivious or... doesn't care at all?
Miss Witch shook her head, closed the door, and went to her desk, turning on the lamp—it was time to organize the rich harvest of the evening.
However, stolen goods definitely cannot be sold in [Rogue] City...not even in the entire [Freedom and Wildness] Gorge.
The witch wasn't in a hurry at this point; instead, she began to examine the crude gold coin in her hand, which was engraved with a skull.
"Log in to the Void Appraisal Network, Winter Spring Channel... Priority connection."
On the screen, in a noisy live stream room, a handsome young man holding a folding fan and wearing sunglasses hurriedly shouted, "Welcome to the seventh sister of the [Black Cat] ranking! Welcome, sister! Thank you so much for [Jade Maiden Scattering Flowers], sister!! What goods did Sister [Black Cat] bring today?!"
The witch merely revealed one hand, on which rested the strange skull-shaped gold coin, and said casually, "Found it by the river. Want to take a look at this?"
Then the handsome guy in the live stream quickly moved closer to the camera, pulled down his sunglasses, and said, "Sis! Turn it over!"
With a slight movement of her hand, the witch flipped the gold coin over.
"No way... Sis, which river did you fish her out of?" the handsome guy in the live stream asked in astonishment.
The witch said calmly, "Well, can you tell?"
Then, the handsome guy in the live stream took a deep breath and slammed his folding fan on the table—he stood up, and at the same time, music started playing in the live stream.
"The pear blossoms in the courtyard have faded another year; I stand in the clear night as the moonlight spills across the empty steps..."
Miss Witch raised an eyebrow. "Oh ho, looks like the door's open... But I have to say, could you change the background music? I'm so tired of this song."
The handsome guy in the live stream completely ignored the complaints from the seventh-ranked lady on the leaderboard and instead said directly, "[Aztec] gold coins, cursed magic gold coins! [Black Cat] lady, you're in big trouble!"
"???"
As a result, countless "2333" comments flashed across the screen in the live stream...
……
……
……
……
The mansion... probably not long after that aura that shook the entire city of [Rogge] appeared.
The door to the room suddenly opened quietly.
Then, Ah Xiruo peeked out furtively, then, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, carrying a white shirt and two bottles of [Shenzhou Jinjiu], she dashed out the door in a flash.
"...Damn it, why am I being treated like I'm cheating on my husband?"
Back in her room, Ah Xiruo couldn't help but complain in her heart.
"But that guy wasn't here all night?"
Ah Xiruo casually sat by the window, looking at the four moons in the night sky—the Gorge of Freedom and Wildness could have four bright moons, each with a different color. In addition to the three primary colors, there was also a purple moon.
"My lord!"
【Binglun】Requesting connection.
Having just received two bottles of [Shenzhou Jinjiu], Ah Xiruo was in a good mood and was willing to chat with [Binglun] for a bit.
"Listen, tell me... is something happening on the other side of this world?"
"—Everything is normal here in World 003. Actually, it hasn't been many days since you announced your [seclusion]. However, you should have arrived at the Gorge of [Freedom and Unbridled Spirit] by now, right?"
"Hmm... I just arrived, not today," Ah Xi Ruo said casually.
"Then, my lady, if you have the chance, you can go to [Purple Moon]. I suddenly remembered that His Highness the Prince seemed to have visited [Purple Moon] before."
"【Purple Moon】?" Long Xiruo frowned and looked up at the night sky. "You mean, a purple moon?"
--"Yes."
Ah Xiruo pondered, "Will he... leave something on the [Purple Moon]?"
"There might be some, there might not be, or it might just be some slight trace. So, I'm just suggesting it, but... it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look."
"Let me see," Ah Xi Ruo said suspiciously. "But, is it really just a sudden thought that you mentioned?"
"If you could gain ultimate access, I'd definitely think of you often!"
"..."
