Chapter 215 Plan, the last tea party (ask for monthly tickets at the end of the month)
It was a sunny afternoon on July 29th. The fishermen in Bergen Harbor were tanned and a row of seagulls were perched on the railings of the fishing boats.
The warm summer breeze blew over from the sea horizon, carrying with it a salty and moist smell.
At this time, Xia Pingzhou was in a restaurant box, waiting for the arrival of other members. With nothing to do, he played Gobang with Ayase Origami.
Not long after, a boy in a blue jumpsuit pushed open the door.
Dark circles under his eyes, an annoying expression, and a childish face, he is clearly the No. 8 member of the White Crow Brigade - the hacker.
"Long time no see." The hacker rubbed his dark circles and raised his dead fish eyes to look at Xia Pingzhou, "Miss me?"
Xia Pingzhou took a sip of orange juice, then looked up at the hacker and asked, "Is the leader here?"
The kimono girl imitated his tone, turned her head, and asked expressionlessly: "Has the captain arrived?"
The hacker curled his lips. "Where is your humanity? Can you not be the group leader as soon as we meet? I arranged all your flights and hotels. I worked so hard but didn't get a greeting in return... Hey, the human nature is fickle; hey, you won, capital."
"So has the captain arrived?" Xia Pingzhou continued to ask.
"So has the captain arrived?" Ayase Origami also asked.
"The leader is with Carrot Head and the others. They won't arrive until the night after tomorrow." The hacker sighed, "Am I so insignificant to you?"
Xia Pingzhou sneered: "You spy on us 24 hours a day, do we need to miss you?"
"Little brat...annoying." The girl in kimono agreed indifferently.
As the three were chatting, the Ripper, dressed in a black and white school uniform, walked in from outside the box. When he passed by the hacker, he stretched out his hand and ruffled his hair.
The hacker raised his middle finger towards Yanma Lin's back while playing with his phone. The Ripper showed his sword without looking back, and the hacker lowered his middle finger and raised his thumb instead:
"Good knife, worthy of being our black straight ripper. It's different after it's upgraded to level three."
"Be good." The Ripper retracted the SkyDrive.
"So you are the group's favorite." Xia Pingzhou turned his head and looked at the hacker, "As expected of everyone's electronic pet, your emotional value is maxed out."
"How dare a cat spirit talk about me?" The hacker sat down puzzled. Minors were not allowed to drink alcohol, so he poured himself a glass of milk.
"It's not a group pet. The kitten belongs to me alone." said the girl in kimono.
After a while, member No. 5, Bernardo Edward, walked in. His skin was as pale as a vampire who had not seen the sun for a long time, but his face was kind and intellectual, and his long white hair was tied into a ponytail.
At this moment he was wearing a pair of white gloves and a white windbreaker.
"Number 8, you're a hacker, right? This is the first time I've seen you." Bernardo smiled and extended his hand to the little kid in a jumpsuit who was ignored by everyone.
The hacker was stunned, and shook his hand perfunctorily, then raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Why are you, a holder of the 'Black Death' fragment, so white all over?"
"Is there any conflict between the two?" Bernardo asked.
"That's not the case," said the hacker.
Bernardo sat down and said slowly, "The leader asked me to tell you about the abilities of the seven members of the Royal Court Team, and then Mr. Hacker will convey it to the other members through the Internet to facilitate the distribution of enemies after entering the box garden."
"Okay." The hacker put on the earphones and played with his phone, "I've turned on the text-to-text function."
"you say."
The Ripper put his legs on the table, hugged his shoulders and looked at the white-haired man.
"Then let me first tell you who I think is the most threatening member of the Royal Court team," Bernardo paused and adjusted his one-way mirror. "Deputy Captain, Red Dragon, Li Qingping."
At the same time, in one of the corridors of the palace.
Xizel walked in front, and Li Qingping followed behind with the crystal ball in his hand, talking softly to the little shark.
"To be honest..." Li Qingping said expressionlessly, "Why don't we just turn back to the king's bedroom, capture the queen, and then find a way to take away the White King's scepter."
"Now I know why the Third Prince also thinks you are a pig," Yagubaru sighed, "If you want to die, don't take Shark with you, okay? Put me down quickly, Shark will swim back by himself."
"Why not?" Li Qingping shrugged.
"The Queen dared to call us here like this, the Royal Court Team must be nearby."
Yagubaru said clearly, "The legendary whale hasn't landed yet. If we start, won't we be trapped? Even if we really catch the queen, do you have the confidence to hold out against the Royal Court Team in the box for four days? By the time the whale's mouth opens, our bodies will be cold, right? Shark doesn't want to become a dried fish."
"It doesn't matter. It's enough to let Xizel get the scepter." Li Qingping said.
Yagubaru sighed, "But we may not be able to break the barrier protecting the king in a short period of time. The Queen and the Royal Court Team can't do anything about it either. Otherwise, why don't they take the scepter?"
Li Qingping pondered for a moment and said, "That's true... The White King's Scepter is really tricky. Even if we put aside the 'Disarming Wonder' that only the Protector can use, its other abilities are already very strong."
"Otherwise, how can the King of the Whale Box Garden be qualified to rule this country?"
As he spoke, Yagubaru raised his head and cast a contemptuous look at Li Qingping's chin.
"Then what are you going to do?" Li Qingping said, "If we can't get the White King's Scepter, we have no chance of winning."
Yagubaru said seriously:
"If you ask Shark, we should just go along with their wishes. The Queen wants to minimize the impact of this incident. She is worried that starting a war in the palace will cause too much noise, so she will wait patiently until the day when the whale's mouth opens. She will first send us to a corner where no one cares, and then find a reason to take action.
"When that day comes, we will use a sleight of hand to deceive them, making them think we are trying to escape. This will divert their fighting power, and then we can sneak into the palace."
Li Qingping tilted his head.
"Then what?"
"Then we will enter the palace. Our first goal is to get the White King's Scepter, and our second goal is to capture the prince or the queen... If we can neither get the White King's Scepter nor capture one of them, then we will initiate the final plan and make a fuss as loud as possible so that everyone in the palace knows about it and they can't get off the stage."
"Okay, okay, you're the only one with a lot of clever ideas." Li Qingping said, "Anyway, the worst that can happen is a narrow escape from death. I've been prepared since I came back here."
"So do you have a way to realize Shark's plan?" Yagubaru said, "Just create a few dummies that look like you two and fool them."
"It's not difficult... There are two common-level odd-story fragments that can do this and confuse their sight." Li Qingping said, "Oh, by the way, this is the palace's odd-story storage room."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at a heavily guarded corridor in the palace. The guards were fully armed, and behind them was a huge bronze gate.
"Can I come here and have a good meal in a few days?"
The little shark showed a row of small fangs, moved close to the crystal ball glass, and followed his gaze to look at the gate.
Li Qingping nodded: "There is a chance, but it depends on whether we will pass by here when we sneak into the palace that day."
“You have to pass by even if you don’t want to. It’s just like even if you don’t have the chance to meet the person you like, you still have to try to create a chance encounter.
"Didn't a certain shark just say that his first target was the White King's Scepter? He can't move when he encounters food?"
"Why do you care so much about sharks?"
"big eater."
"Trash."
A day later, it was the morning of July 30th.
"My brother asked me to join their tea party." In the dormitory, César leaned against the window and took a look at the letter delivered by the pigeon.
Li Qingping raised his head and asked him, "Do you want to go?"
"Why not?" Cesar asked.
"Then let's go."
After saying that, Li Qingping picked up the crystal ball from the bedside table, shook the sleeping little shark expressionlessly, woke it up, and then left the castle with César.
Soon, they arrived at the bedroom of the eldest prince Lorenzo. When they stepped into the courtyard, they saw a marble-paved road.
The two sides of the road were full of unique flowers from the Whale Garden, and each petal was as bright as obsidian. The eldest prince had the habit of appreciating flowers on weekdays, and occasionally he would take time to come to the yard to take care of them himself.
After walking for a while, Cesare saw a hexagonal pavilion. Inside the pavilion was a round stone table and several stone chairs. The curtains hanging in the air were blown by the wind.
Lorenzo and Cosimo, two blond princes, were sitting at the table, waiting for a long time.
The captain of the Royal Court team, Ruth, and a member, Ryan, were standing by. Both the former's long sea-blue hair and the latter's full beard and golden pupils were very eye-catching, and their identities could be identified at a glance.
Cesare walked straight into the pavilion and sat down without ceremony opposite Lorenzo and Cosimo.
"Cesare, the day after tomorrow is the day when the whale will land," said Lorenzo, looking up.
"right."
"Why don't you stop struggling in vain? This way you won't kill Li Qingping." Lorenzo said lightly.
Xizel remained silent, and Li Qingping was also silent.
After a while, Xizel asked: "Li Qingping, are you willing to die for me?"
"Of course, my Lord." Li Qingping nodded slightly.
Lorenzo smiled and said, "You two are a good match, a frivolous prince and a frivolous vice-captain of the Royal Court Team."
"I have quit the Wangting team." Li Qingping said.
"But you have not yet received the king's approval," said Lorenzo.
"Approve? How can I approve?" Cesare said, "Father has been bedridden by you, just for your own selfish desires."
"You are not fit to be king, Cesare..." Lorenzo said, "You will cause this country to fall apart and end in destruction, and I cannot bear to see this happen."
"You are wrong, brother." Xizel said expressionlessly, "Whether I am king or not, I will overthrow this country."
"Are you going to betray your country?" Lorenzo raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
"You were the ones who betrayed me first." Xizel said, "Besides... this shabby country that has been living in the belly of a whale to avoid the outside world is better off not existing from the beginning."
"You have guts." Lorenzo clasped his hands together, "But there is only one whale's mouth. How do you plan to leave?"
"You are afraid of me, so you can't wait to wipe me out."
Lorenzo shook his head, patted Cosimo on the shoulder and laughed. "I really don't know when our third brother learned to talk big like this. Second brother, is it because you lost to him in the Colosseum last time and gave him confidence?"
Cosimo looked gloomy and remained silent.
Cesar looked up at Ruth: "So, since you heard everything, you still turned a blind eye to it all?"
Ruth said expressionlessly: "I only follow the instructions of the Queen. When the King is not here, the Queen's orders are above all else."
Cesare asked: "But they are the ones who made the king sick. Shouldn't you get rid of them first?"
"Do you have any evidence? Don't slander me." The second prince Cosimo frowned and spoke.
Xizel ignored him and turned to look at Ryan: "What about you, Mr. Ryan... It is rumored that the fragment of the 'Sword in the Stone' will only choose the most noble knight, but after seeing it today, it seems that it is not what I thought."
Ryan was silent.
"Stop it, Xizel." Lorenzo smiled. "For the sake of our brotherly love, on August 1st, I will have someone take you out of the box garden. You can go with Li Qingping and go wherever you want."
Xizel sneered: "After all, you want to get rid of me in the outside world, so that people won't despise me as a mad dog who killed his brothers and poisoned his father in order to gain the throne."
"It seems that you have begun to act unreasonably..." Lorenzo raised his head and met César's gaze. "Finally, as your elder brother, I will teach you a lesson: history is usually written by the victors, and the victors... usually do whatever it takes."
Cosimo glanced at the letter delivered by the pigeon and raised his head: "Brother, let's stop here. Mother wants to talk to us about something."
"Let's go." Lorenzo stood up.
Xizel watched them leave silently, then turned and walked out of the pavilion. Li Qingping followed him.
As he walked away, Xizel said without looking back, "Li Qingping, the chances of me escaping are slim... They want me. If the situation on that day is really unfavorable to us, then you can take Yagubaru and leave. Don't worry about me."
At this point, Xi Ze paused and said: "If my father dies, I will only have you two left. After I die, you will be the only ones in the world who will remember me, so... don't die."
Yagubaru was stunned and thought, are you going to transform from a dark elementary school student to a melancholy elementary school student?
Li Qingping raised his head and silently looked at his back for a while, then opened the lid of the crystal ball and poked the little shark's head: "Take it away? It's better to roast it and eat it on the way. I haven't eaten roasted shark yet."
"Grilled shark is a dark dish that only Londoners can come up with. As a Chinese, can't you have a little shame?" Little Shark shouted, "Does a country of gourmet food understand?"
"You're right, but I'm from the box garden."
"Traitor."
Xizel stopped, turned his head to look at the man and the shark, and smiled silently.
There are only 48 hours left before the legendary whale lands in Bergen, Norway.
