Chapter 219: Infiltration, Fork, Battle for the Scepter (asking for monthly tickets)
The legendary whale is approaching the port of Bergen, and its mouth will open in ten minutes.
At this moment, Li Qingping used the common-level card "Cognitive Barrier Barrier" to cover the floating castle where they were.
Unless the cognitive barrier is broken, it is impossible to observe the interior of the castle from the outside, and all one can see is emptiness.
Yagubaru suddenly recalled that the gatekeeper of the legendary whale had used this piece of strange news before - the moment the legendary whale landed, the gatekeeper would use a cognitive barrier to cover the surroundings to prevent outsiders in the human world from discovering the existence of the legendary whale.
So when the "cognitive barrier barrier" enveloped the floating castle where they were, from the outside of the castle, it was as if a huge building suddenly disappeared from the sky above the small garden.
Needless to say, such an abrupt and eye-catching action would naturally attract the attention of the Queen and others.
"We must act immediately. We don't have much time left."
As Li Qingping spoke, he grasped the strange story album floating in the air and took out two popular-level cards from it. Their names were "Mimic Doll" and "Umbrella of Hidden God".
The moment he raised his hand to crush the "mimicry doll", a white light pattern flashed, and then two crooked gray-white dolls appeared in the dormitory, swaying like tumblers.
The two puppets raised their empty eyes and looked at Xizel and Li Qingping respectively, as if they were memorizing their appearances.
Then the bodies of the mimicry dolls gradually changed.
They copied the appearance of Xizel and Li Qingping respectively, including skin color, organs, hair volume, body shape, and even the clothes they wore.
The dolls now look exactly like their appearance, so who can tell the real thing from the fake?
Yagubaru stared at the two dolls and thought to himself, I am familiar with this. Isn't this just a weakened version of the restraint belt incarnation?
After Li Qingping adjusted the mimicry doll, he turned and looked at Xizel.
Cesar understood what he meant, so he called out the book of curiosities and held the "Christmas Sleigh" in his hands.
Then he took a deep breath, raised his head and repeated the plan:
"Next, I will release the sled and carry the mimic puppets that copy our appearance to the whale's mouth to confuse the Royal Court Team. Then we will use the 'Umbrella of Hidden God' to go to my father's bedroom and try to take the White King's Scepter, right?"
"That's right." Li Qingping said calmly.
"You take the scepter, and Shark will be responsible for catching the queen." said Yagubaru.
"Um."
Cesar nodded.
The next moment, he crushed the generation-level wonder "Christmas Sleigh" in his hand. A sudden snowstorm poured into the bedroom, an orange light pattern flashed in the air, and a long cry resounded throughout the floating castle.
Then two elks dropped from the sky, dragging a scarlet sled towards them!
Li Qingping turned his head and ordered the two mimicking dolls to get on the sled. Then the elk broke through the wind and snow, carrying the two dolls and galloping towards the blood-red sky.
"I hope this trick can work to some extent." Yagubaru said, "As long as the sled and the dummy can attract the members of the Royal Court Team, the palace will be like a deserted place for us."
"My Christmas sleigh can carry the dummy to the whale's mouth," said Cesar.
"Let's go, we have to act quickly, otherwise we will be discovered soon."
As he spoke, Li Qingping crushed the "Umbrella of Hidden God", and a large umbrella as gorgeous as a kaleidoscope appeared in his hand.
Yagubaru controlled the dark water flow and drilled out from the opening of the crystal ball. His body expanded violently, extending to two meters in an instant and turning into a huge dark blue shark.
Li Qingping and Xizel stood on the back of the dark blue shark and opened the umbrella. The two men and the shark were immediately covered by an invisible barrier and disappeared into the air as if by a god.
Yagubaru's entire body was wrapped in the dark water current, flying slowly out of the castle, shuttling under the calm sky, passing through one luxurious and elegant floating city after another.
The nobles who were kept in the dark thought it was an ordinary morning, so they sat on the old man's chairs, drinking morning tea while gazing at the sea and sky, occasionally looking down at the common people working on the land, their faces filled with relaxation and comfort.
Not long after, Yagubaru saw the brilliantly lit imperial palace. This huge palace stood on a floating island at the top of the entire box world, as eye-catching as the world tree mentioned in "Norse Mythology".
"Hold on." Yagubaru whispered, controlling the dark water flow to lift his body, cutting through the air and rising at high speed to the top of the palace.
After observing for a moment, he found a tricky angle and dived into a window in a corridor.
Li Qingping and Xizel shrank on the shark's back to avoid being stuck outside.
At this moment, Yagubaru shrank rapidly and turned into a palm-sized Nobe shark, landing on Li Qingping's shoulder.
He raised his contracted animal pupils and looked ahead, and what he saw was an excessively long corridor with a red carpet on the floor. On the walls on both sides, there was an oil painting of a portrait every few meters, and the faces of royal family members from past dynasties were recorded on the paintings.
Li Qingping held up the "Invisible Umbrella" and moved forward with César under the umbrella. They merged with the air and moved forward in the brightly lit palace without being noticed by anyone. The whole corridor was quiet, and the oil paintings on the wall were lifelike.
The pairs of eyes in the frame stared at the two men and the shark in dead silence, which made people's hair stand on end. When they passed by here on weekdays, they never felt these oil paintings were so creepy.
When passing by the Qiwen Warehouse, Li Qingping held up an umbrella and turned his head to look at the guard at the door of the warehouse. At this moment, the bronze door of the warehouse was open, and a row of Qiwen envoys in luxurious robes walked out. The white robes were engraved with the logo of the "Wang Ting Army" - a tiger guarding the White King's scepter.
Li Qingping frowned, turned his head to look at the little shark on his shoulder, and said silently with his lips: "They even sent out the Wangting Army. It seems that they are determined to take us down."
"Who are they? Why do they want to steal Shark Shark's fragments? What is their intention?" Yagubaru stared at the soldiers angrily and wrote with dark water streams.
"Are you still planning to eat?" Li Qingping said, "We definitely can't get into the warehouse in this situation."
"How can we eat this? If we fight them, there will definitely be a commotion." Xizel was stunned and silently reminded, "Isn't our primary target the White King's Scepter?"
"What a bunch of people, they stole Shark Shark's fragments right under Shark Shark's nose so brazenly, is there any justice or law?"
Little Shark's eyes widened as he glared at the army that came out of the warehouse, gritting his teeth in anger, "Forget it, Shark will let these fragment thieves go for now, and I'll teach them a lesson later!"
After saying that, it couldn't help but raise its fin and slap Li Qingping: "Go!"
Li Qingping was silent.
Seeing that Li Qingping didn't move, the little shark slapped him with his fin again: "Go!"
Li Qingping's eyes twitched. He resisted the urge to throw the shark off his shoulder and walked forward silently with an umbrella.
They remained silent the entire time, keeping the sound of their footsteps as quiet as possible, and walked along the corridor, passing by the attendants, servants, and soldiers in the palace.
Soon, they came to a fork in the road. On the left was the king's bedroom, and on the right was the courtyard where the queen lived.
And there is no doubt that the two places within sight are their destinations.
The two humans held their breath and did not speak. However, Yagubaru on Li Qingping's shoulder suddenly controlled the dark water flow, which formed lines of vivid words in the air:
"Divide the troops into two groups. Shark will go and try to catch the queen, while you will go and look for the White King's scepter."
"The best outcome is to find the White King's Scepter. The next best outcome is for me to capture the Queen and try to threaten the Royal Court Team... No matter what, as long as one of the conditions is met, we will have a chance to escape."
Looking at the words formed by the water in the air, Li Qingping and Xizel nodded silently.
There is certainly a reason why Yagubaru made such an allocation.
The Eternal Abyss Sharks have thick skin and flesh, and their body length is over a hundred meters.
If his whereabouts are exposed and the queen is not captured, Yagubaru can hold out against the Royal Court team for a long time until the arrival of César who has seized the White King's scepter.
By then, after losing the power of Qiwen, the Wangting team would just become a group of Muggles. Even if their physical fitness was equal to Li Qingping's, without the blessing of the fragments, they would not be able to resist the super-giant Agubaru.
But Li Qingping and Xizel are different. They do not have the tolerance for error of Yagubaru and are obviously more suitable to steal the White King's Scepter.
Not to mention that Caesar has the King's Divine Protection on him, so maybe he can easily cross the barrier, get close to the king, and take the scepter from the bed.
Yagubaru jumped down from Li Qingping's shoulders, controlling the dark water flow forward, floating lightly in the air as if he was riding a surfboard, even more agile than a bird.
It waved its fins as if waving to the two of them, and then swam cautiously towards the back pavilion.
Yagubaru pricked up its ears, listening to the noises in all directions, and wandered cautiously in the corridors of the palace. After a while, it hid behind a huge stone pillar.
Looking through the clusters of flowers, I saw the Queen "Carolina" in the pavilion, the eldest prince "Lorenzo" and the second prince "Cosimo".
"The Royal Court Team is not nearby..." Yagubaru thought, "Whether it is a trap or not, I must make a bigger noise to buy time for Xizel and Li Qingping and minimize the interference in their efforts to seize the White King's Scepter."
As he thought of this, the black tide beneath Yagubaru suddenly rose.
It rode the wind and waves, shooting forward from behind the pillar, like a dark arrow shot out of a bow. When approaching the pavilion, the arrow had already turned into a black cannonball. Amid the sound of breaking through the air, the shark's body suddenly expanded several times, and its size grew to more than three meters.
However, at this moment, a lazy voice suddenly sounded in the pavilion:
“The Bermuda Triangle.”
Following the source of the sound, Yagubaru turned his head and saw a girl holding an umbrella. Her black hair was tied into two buns and her face was lazy and elegant.
It turned out to be Ke Ojena from the Royal Court team, a wonder envoy who possessed the generation-level fragment "Bermuda Triangle".
A huge triangular pattern formed and expanded in midair, with a space crack inside the triangle. Yagubaru could no longer stop his forward momentum. The shark's head crashed into the crack, and then the crack closed.
It disappeared.
There was total silence in the pavilion. After a moment, the eldest prince Lorenzo slowly spoke and broke the silence.
"See, this is all Xizel can come up with."
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the girl with the ball-shaped hair in the pavilion: "Thanks to Ke Ojiena."
Ke Aojiena yawned and whispered, "I have already transferred the Third Prince and Li Qingping to the whale's mouth. As for this Eternal Abyss Shark, I have trapped it in the Bermuda Triangle... It won't be able to break free for a while."
"That's enough." Lorenzo smiled. "This shark is difficult to deal with. We don't need to confront it head-on. We can just kill Xizel and Li Qingping first."
Kaliliana said with emotion: "This is my son... Compared to that bastard, you are the one who should be the king."
Cosimo was silent for a moment, looked up at Lorenzo, then turned to look at Carilena: "Brother, mother, what about the White King's Scepter?"
"Don't worry..." Lorenzo shrugged. "When father dies of his illness, the barrier protecting him will naturally open. Then we can get the White King's Scepter."
