Chapter 178 Bounty Hunter
In the Kingdom of Wilvalin, the nobles in the capital have been in a mess, because many of them have been taken down by the sons, daughters, nieces and nieces... The blood ties between nobles are even more profound than advanced mathematics, and it is difficult to study the specific relationship thoroughly, but it is certain that they are connected to each other.
Therefore, this kidnapping incident was not aimed at one or two, ten or eight nobles, but targeting the entire aristocratic class, which means targeting this kingdom.
If there is a king's heir among the kidnapped people, then this matter can be characterized as "trying to subvert the state power."
The palace and the chamber of the meetings, at this time, a large number of nobles gathered here, and some of them looked anxious.
"The underworld mafia in the city? No, that kind of small character doesn't have such courage..."
"Of course it is impossible to become a mafia. The guy who can do such a thing can only be a lawless pirate!"
"Pirates... Why do pirates appear in the city? What's going on with the G23rd Navy Branch? Isn't it their responsibility to protect the city and attack pirates?"
"Lt. General Taros is not in the capital now, and the person in charge of the naval base is Lieutenant General Fried..."
"Shut up, is this time to say this? If you want to hold the responsibility accountable, not only did the Navy not find the pirates, but the Kingdom Guards were not aware of anything? Even the guards responsible for protecting the school were all killed!"
"Have the Navy informed? Did Lieutenant General Fried launch an operation? We need the help of the Navy."
"Where is the witness information? Pirates move around the city and cannot leave any traces. They must collect witness information from the citizens as quickly as possible."
The conference hall was messy and noisy, and everyone was talking nonsense. It seemed that everyone had a very idea and had a very good way to deal with the current situation, but in fact, no one had an idea... There was no backbone at all.
Earl of Simarill Vesta was also here at this time. She was extremely worried about the safety of her only son, so she naturally couldn't stand these busy nobles.
Simarill recruited his housekeeper to him and ordered, "On the one hand, prepare our ransom, and on the other hand, hire the best bounty hunter in the city. At all, let him find Tristan's location first... In any case, you must ensure Tristan's safety."
The pirates demanded a ransom of 2 billion Bailey, and the money was shared by the nobles whose children were kidnapped. Just like the plot in the clichéd kidnapping story, the pirates gave a certain amount of time for the nobles to raise the ransom.
“Yes, master.”
The housekeeper agreed to the order of Maryer without hesitation, and then he hurriedly left the place.
After the butler left, Simarill asked to another person beside him, "Mayor General Elidel may be with Tristan, right?"
The person asked was the maid who followed Tristan to the school. After hearing the owner's question, she immediately spoke, "Yes, we met Brigadier General Alindel on the way to the school. Then Master Tristan invited the Brigadier General with him, and the Brigadier agreed... After arriving at the school, the Master invited the Brigadier General to visit the school, and the coachman and I immediately came there.
Then…then the news of an incident occurred in the school came out.”
The maid introduced the situation at that time in simple language, but what she left was still an inaccurate guess.
"Is it just possible?"
If Mo Fei and Tristan stay together, then Mary Si can basically confirm her son's safety, but the news is not sure now... Influenced by Tristan, Ms. Earl also trusts Mo Fei's ability very much.
"Master, do you want to confirm the whereabouts of Brigadier General Alindel from the Navy?" asked the maid to Earl Simarill.
Simariel's face showed a tangled look, but after a while, she shook her head, "Don't interfere with the navy's actions for the time being, nor do you reveal the possible whereabouts of the brigade general to other nobles... First, this is news that cannot be confirmed, and second, since the brigade general has no news, he may have his own plans."
"Lt. General Fried."
"Lt. General Fried is here!"
After Count Simarill made such a decision, Lieutenant General Fried stepped through the dark night and walked into the chamber.
…………
On the other side, some abandoned building outside the city, a temporary den for kidnappers.
Based on his own understanding and experience, Mo Fei estimated the operational efficiency of the kingdom and the navy. He felt that the other party might not be able to find this position overnight, so he decided to take a nap first.
Because he didn't have dinner at all today, his main feeling at this time was actually hunger. He could get rid of hunger as soon as possible by going to bed early.
The little boys who were so calm all night long and were tortured hard that they actually slept peacefully. It was not until dawn that Mo Fei woke up again... He was awakened by hunger.
And just after he woke up, the pirates who had been resting for a night also began a new action. Except for some of them who were still staying here, the remaining guys began to leave in several ways.
The pirates probably lacked manpower because they had to participate in other operations. At this time, the pirates responsible for the supervision of the hostages changed from five to two. But two people were enough. Two vicious pirates were responsible for the supervision of about twenty young boys trapped in strings. What's the difficulty?
Well, under normal circumstances, of course there is no difficulty. Even when the surroundings are quiet, the two pirates actually started to doze again.
"Get up early in the morning... to collect the ransom?" Mo Fei was silently guessing the actions of the pirates.
The pirates have worked hard, and now it is time to gain. Labor is very special, so the harvest should be very rich. This is the legendary high risk and high return.
Because this room is closed, Mo Fei could not accurately judge the current time. After a while, the door of this room was slowly opened again.
The two pirates were still dozing off, and they didn't notice that the door was opened from outside.
At first Mo Fei thought that pirates came in to change shifts, or wanted to check the hostages' situation, but then he realized that something was wrong... The door was opened silently, and only a gap was opened.
Someone sneaked into the room through the crack in the door, and then closed the door silently again. Then he rushed towards the two pirates who were dozing in an extremely light, quick and silent manner.
During the impact, a bright sharp blade appeared in the other party's hand.
This man...is obviously not a pirate, what does he want to do now?
Mo Fei's plan is about to be disturbed by this uninvited guest, so he doesn't pretend to be strong at this time.
shave!
In an instant, Mo Fei appeared behind the two pirates, and then pinched the necks of the two with both hands.
Click!
Although the sound didn't sound very good, Mo Fei just knocked these two people out.
Immediately afterwards, he reached out to face the sharp blade that pierced and instantly hit the side of the dagger. The huge force made the opponent take his weapon out.
"Who?" Mo Fei asked in a low voice.
"Borrow Hunter." The other party also responded to Mo Fei's question in a very low voice.
But during this process, the man did not stop attacking. After his dagger came out, a strange sword hilt appeared in his other hand.
There is only a handle but no sword blade.
But then, a blue beam of light extended out of the hilt of the sword and spread to the length of the normal tool.
Mo Fei could feel its destructive power from such a high-energy pulse. In an instant, he guessed the other party's identity:
"It's you, Master Yoda!"
May the Force be with you...
