Chapter 364: Confusing
When talking about the traitor, Hough's expression looked very strange.
She frowned and said:
“While I was on the march, a gargoyle crash-landed near my army.
At that time, I thought my whereabouts had been exposed and I was very nervous, fearing that Bracada would launch a surprise attack on me.
As a result, I found a letter in the gargoyle's cracked belly. The letter recorded the time of departure of the Thunder City reinforcements and a detailed route map.
It also records the news about Serena in the armed airship, reminding me to be careful of Serena's magic counterattack.
I was just thinking of giving it a try, but I didn't expect that you guys would be here ten minutes later."
Hoff looked at Qi Ge in confusion and asked:
“I always thought that the gargoyle was sent by you.
But it sounds like you're the one who's saying it, isn't it you?"
Gargoyle...
Pickle Jem?
Would he leave himself such an obvious loophole?
"It's not me. My preparations for rescuing Erni are only the Fairy Heavy Artillery and the Dragon Legion."
Qi Ge shook his head and answered.
Hoff stroked his chin thoughtfully and said:
“It seems that in addition to your Church of Destiny, there is another force inside Bracada that helps our Church of Wealth.
Could it be from the Magical Truth Church?"
Um?
Qi Ge felt that there was something wrong with what Hof said, so he asked:
"Your Majesty Hof, how did you find those Djinn hiding in the bushes before you attacked the Allied Forces?"
Hoff looked at Qi Ge strangely and said:
"It was the goblins under Deris who told me.
Deris is from your Church of Destiny, how could you not know that, Qi Ge?
Didn't you guys communicate in advance?"
Fairy? ?
Qi Ge suddenly had an idea.
Is the demon hiding in the golden man really a traitor?
Wait a minute, Golden Man!
Jones Phil!!
Oh, I should have thought of it earlier. In the whole of Bracada, except Jonesfield, no one has the ability to transform the golden man into a fairy that can fit in it and still function normally.
So, the traitors are Deris and Jonesfield? !
wrong!
Not just Therese and Jonesfield.
There must be a traitor.
Deris knew that Serena and I were on the armed airship, and she knew very well that I wanted to turn Serena against her.
So there was no way she could inform Hoff to intercept us.
There is a third ghost...
Who could this third party be?
At this moment, Hoff suddenly tapped her palms and said, "By the way, I still have the gargoyle that delivered the letter."
Hoff took out a gargoyle that was broken into two pieces from her backpack and placed it on the ground.
Qi Ge immediately squatted down and examined it carefully.
Erni and Hof also came over.
Qi Ge first looked at the inside of the gargoyle. There was a square groove inside the gargoyle.
Hoff pointed to the groove and said to Qi Ge: "This is where the letter is."
Qi Ge touched the groove and found nothing unusual.
He opened the system to identify it. In the system, the properties of the broken gargoyle were:
[Broken Stone
Sundries
Effect unknown]
It can't even be considered a rare object, it can only be a piece of junk, which means that this gargoyle has completely lost its energy and is just an ordinary stone that looks like a gargoyle.
The damage was so thorough that it showed that the owner of the gargoyle was very worried that someone would discover his or her identity from the gargoyle.
Qi Ge lifted up the left and right parts of the gargoyle and reassembled them along the cracked lines.
Qi Ge looked at the appearance of the gargoyle and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
The body of the first-level Stone Gargoyle is grayish white, while the body of the second-level Stone Gargoyle is inky black and has an extra tail compared to the first-level Stone Gargoyle.
They all have a pair of blood-red eyes - this is because gargoyles were created by goblins to imitate vampires, and most vampires have red eyes.
However, the appearance of this gargoyle is blue-black, and its eyeballs have been intentionally dug out.
Qi Ge gently touched the gargoyle's eye sockets and felt something in his heart.
“This eye socket is in the shape of a hexagram.
Regardless of the rank of the gargoyle, its eyes are generally diamond-shaped.
Hexagram-shaped eyes only appear on the gargoyle's spellcasting units!
This gargoyle is a spellcasting unit.
A gargoyle-like spellcasting troop with dark blue skin..."
Erni made the connection immediately without much thought.
She said doubtfully:
“Could it be the Level 2, Rank 5 Miracle Soldier Green-Faced Ghost?
I remember that Picklejam became a legendary hero by creating the two gargoyle soldiers, the Green-faced Gargoyle and the Mirror-Hidden Gargoyle."
Qi Ge nodded and said, "Yes, as far as I know, among the blue-black spellcasting soldiers, the only one among the gargoyles is the green-faced ghost."
Hoff frowned and asked:
“So the traitor is Picklejem?
But we in the Fortune Church are not familiar with him.
Why would he help us?"
Qi Ge frowned slightly and said:
“No, this gargoyle is the Green-faced Gargoyle for sure.
But the appearance of the Green-Faced Ghost shows that it is almost impossible to be Pickle Jem."
"What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty Hoff, is it difficult to make a gargoyle fall and use it to deliver a letter?"
Hoff understood immediately:
"yes.
Any gargoyle can do it. If the traitor is Picklejem, why does he have to use a gargoyle that can represent his identity to deliver the letter?
So, he wasn't the one who sent the letter?"
Hoff suddenly had an idea and asked:
"Qi Ge, is there a possibility?
Is that what PickleJam did specifically to make us think?"
Seven Pigeons: ...
Good man, if you predict, I will predict your prediction, right?
The nesting dolls are put together.
The Seventh Pigeon did not argue, but answered:
“Of course it’s possible.
But it's unlikely.
Let’s first analyze the situation where the traitor is not PickleJam.
The traitor is not Pickjam. Why did he deliberately use the Green-Faced Ghost to deliver the letter?
It is very likely a frame-up.
If the Green-Faced Ghost is caught delivering the letter, or if Your Majesty Hof is accidentally killed, the Green-Faced Ghost will be found out.
Then, Pickjem will be suspected by Bracada.
For Bracada, when it comes to investigating a traitor, it would be better to kill a hundred by mistake than to let one go.
Because of this green-faced ghost, Picklejem will definitely be investigated.
Therefore, it is basically certain that the person who delivered the letter has a grudge against Pickle.
Narrow the scope again.
The Green-Faced Ghost is very expensive. In Bracada, to get the Gargoyle Miracle Troops, one must be at least a master-level hero. An ordinary master will not be enough. He must be a relatively wealthy master.
This means that the other party is a relatively wealthy master or legend.
It’s impossible for a demigod. It wouldn’t be so troublesome for a demigod to help.
The person who sent the letter must have the intention to help His Majesty Erni.
The most likely ones are people from the four major churches of Magic, Fate, Fortune, and Peace.
It's me and Deris on the side of the Church of Destiny. People from the Church of Fortune don't need to use gargoyles to send messages. They can meet Her Majesty Hof directly.
Eliminate fate and fortune first.
Only peace and magic remain.
In summary, the person who sent the letter is most likely:
A wealthy master or legend who belongs to the Church of Magic or Peace and has a grudge against PickleJam .
Your Majesty Erni, Your Majesty Hof, do you have any candidates in mind?"
Erni and Hof looked at each other and shook their heads.
“The members of Magical Truth Church have always been the most mysterious among the four major churches.
Most of the people within their own church don't know each other.
What’s more, we are a wealthy church.”
“There aren’t many people in the Peace Church now.
They are probably too busy trying to revive the goddess of peace to come and help."
Hoff looked at Qi Ge strangely and asked:
"Qi Ge, aren't you an apostle of the Magic Monarch?
You should be very clear about the power of the Magical Truth Church in Bracada."
Qi Ge had a slight toothache.
“In fact, my status as a magic apostle was given directly by His Majesty the Magic Monarch.
I didn't even join the Magical Truth Church.
Um, not yet."
Erni: !!!
Hoff: !!!
Erni and Hof looked as if they had heard some bizarre news, their expressions filled with shock and amazement.
How can we lie casually about the true God?
The fact that Qi Ge dared to say so means that what he said is true!
Ernie's expression was shocked:
"There is such a thing? I have never heard of it.
God has favored you like never before in the world of Yasha."
Hoff was also horrified: "So, you have personally come into contact with His Majesty the Magician?"
Qi Ge remained silent: "Yes, more than once."
Hoff's eyes widened. She took a step back and said, bowing:
"Your Majesty, I may not have been polite enough in the way I spoke to you just now. Please don't mind.
Let me introduce myself again.
My name is Hof, and I’m a poor wretch who has struggled for hundreds of years to become the Pope of Wealth.
You can just call me Xiao Fu."
Seven Pigeons: ...
"Ahem, Your Majesty Hoff, don't be like this.
Let’s get down to business.
Don't Your Majesty Erni and Your Majesty Hof have any other clues?"
Erni thought for a while and confirmed:
"No. Among the legends I know in Bracada, none of them has a grudge against Pickjam."
Hoff also shook his head: "Your Majesty the Seventh Dove, I am not familiar with Bracada."
Qi Ge tapped the gargoyle gently and fell into thought.
Gradually, Qi Ge's expression became serious.
"I suddenly have a candidate."
"who?"
"Hora Philomina, the treasure maker of Silver Snow City. A lamp spirit."
Erni's expression suddenly became a little surprised.
"Little Hola?"
Qi Ge suddenly raised his head and asked happily, "Your Majesty Erni, do you know him?"
Erni replied hesitantly:
"Yes.
I sponsored little Hola when she was studying magic at the magic academy.
She and I are both lamp spirits and have a good relationship with each other.
She had lived in my mansion in Thunder City for a period of time before.
But little Hola shouldn't have anything to do with Pickle Jem, right?"
Qi Ge pounded his palm and said:
"Then it's more likely to be Master Hora Philomina.
Your Majesty, you don't know.
She had a direct conflict with a branch of the Pickjam family.
Although I don't have a big grudge against Pickjem, I have every reason to be envious of him."
Qi Ge thought in his heart:
Moreover, Miss Hola and Mr. Agaid are both believers of the Magical Truth Church.
I've seen her greet Mr. Aged using the Magical Truth hand gesture.
She had reasons to help His Majesty Erni both publicly and privately.
With her financial resources, it would not be difficult to get the Green-faced Ghost.
There are two problems with this though.
The first one.
If it was Miss Hola, how did she get the specific information about the departure of the standing army?
After Serena and I confirmed the mission, we set off immediately that day.
Anyone who knows this news must have a high status in Thunder City.
Miss Hola, you are still a little unqualified.
The second one.
The letter that Her Majesty Hoff received clearly had Serena written on it.
This means that the person who delivered the letter should be well aware of the military deployment in Thunder City.
That person even knew that Serena was in the standing army, so there was no reason why he wouldn't know that I was also in the standing army.
If it was Miss Hola, she wouldn't harm me as well.
Even if she only knew about [Seven Pigeons] and not [Star Wind].
However, [Star Wind] is Agaide's apprentice, and Miss Hola should be able to guess that [Star Wind] is [Seven Pigeons].
At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to Qi Ge's mind.
Hola Philomena knew that I was the Chosen One of Yasha, and she knew that I could not die.
So, if someone helped her pass on information, it could have been her?
Qi Ge temporarily put this matter in his heart and said:
"It's okay. Next time I go back to Silver Snow City, I'll go ask Master Hora."
Qi Ge continued:
"Your Majesty Erni, I am here this time for one reason or another to meet you and say hello.
The second is to help you evacuate as quickly as possible.
Bracada has suffered a loss this time and will not let it go.”
Erni looked a little embarrassed:
“I was just about to discuss this with you.
The permanent population of our rich city is over 300,000. Although your Silver Spirit is very large, it can only carry 20,000 people at a time.
If we withdraw from sea transportation, there will be a serious shortage of shipping capacity.”
Hoff continued:
"Yeah, if it doesn't work, let's go underground.
Go through the underground tunnel and take a detour to Nigong.
Muriel and I are quite familiar with each other. After entering Nigon, we can use the teleportation array."
Qi Ge took out a map and said:
"If we want to bring the people of the City of Plenty to the territory of the Church of Wealth, we must take the sea route."
Qi Ge pointed to the border between Titania and Nigon on the map and said:
“The city cluster of the Church of Fortune is here.
To go underground, we must lead the people on a month-long expedition, passing through three Bracada territories underground before we can reach Nigon.
After that, Nigon had to march for nearly two weeks before he could reach the teleportation array.
We consumed a lot of food on the way, and we were harassed by wild monsters. We also had to take the risk of being blocked by Bracada at any time."
Hoff frowned and said:
“That’s true.
But, if we go by sea.
At the speed of the Silver Spirit, it would take a full day's voyage from the City of Plenty to reach the whirlpool in the Frosty Ocean.
It takes about half a day's voyage from the Whirlpool Sea to the Gem Sea to reach the Territory of the Goddess of Wealth.
Even a round trip for the Silver Spirit takes three days.
The Silver Spirit would have to make nearly fifteen round trips to carry all three hundred thousand people.
It doesn't take any longer than going underground.
If we don't evacuate quickly, will Bracada give us that much time?"
Qi Ge smiled slightly and said:
“Of course not, so we can’t rely on the Silver Spirit.
In fact, we only need one trip to handle 300,000 people."
At this moment, Erni and Hof heard bursts of loud exclamations coming from the city.
"Oh my God! What is that?"
"Turtle! What a big turtle!"
Facing the surprised looks of Erni and Hoff, Qi Ge smiled slightly and said proudly:
"Your Majesty Erni, I told you so.
The world has suffered from tower blocks for a long time.
The army of justice will never be alone.
Another ally of ours has arrived.
Pope Hof, please allow me to represent.
Lord of the Nine Seas, Master of the Sea, His Majesty Neotaidalus Leviathan, God of the Sea.
Greetings to Her Majesty, the Goddess of Wealth, Rae Qiu, the essence of gold, the basis of trade, the symbol of resource circulation."
"My goddess, His Majesty the Sea God actually sent the Sea King Turtle here?"
Hoff blinked and asked doubtfully:
"Qi Ge, you haven't even seen the Sea God, have you?
…
…
The giant sea turtle, a military species from the endless ocean, floats quietly on the surface of the deep sea like a moving continent.
The Silver Spirit released all the warships in its belly, and used them together with several small boats already in the City of Plenty as sea vehicles to continuously transport the people of the City of Plenty to the Sea Turtle.
Erni and Hof stayed in the City of Plenty to maintain order, while Lin Xi and the others followed Adela and Sousa on the Sea Turtle to meet the people of the City of Plenty.
For a while, Qi Ge and Mixue Bingtang were both idle.
Qi Ge found an opportunity and invited Mixue Bingtang to the Yinling.
Qi Ge asked her to be the representative of the City of Plenty and help direct the people during the transportation process.
Mixue Bingtang was very happy after getting Erni's permission.
She had long wanted to find an opportunity to meet Qi Ge.
“In the Yasha world, there is absolutely no player stronger than me!
There must be something wrong with this Qi Ge!"
Mixue Bingtang was very angry.
“I turned on the health lock, perspective, and automatic aiming, but as soon as I went out, I was killed.
What does this mean?
This means that the other side must have opened it, and the cheat is more expensive than mine!"
With the purpose of gathering intelligence, Mixue Bingtang followed Qi Ge onto the Silver Spirit.
As soon as she boarded the Silver Spirit, she was shocked by the magic tree on the Silver Spirit.
【Ding Dong Tips:
Fairy Ginkgo Tree
Growth status: Growth stage, about to mature
Branches can be used as level 3 materials after being cut down, and have magical energy.
Leaves, fruits, and flowers can all be used as alchemical potion materials.
Rarity: 3.5 stars (extremely rare)
Estimated value: 40,000 gold coins]
Mixue Bingtang was indignant:
"Hiss~ Ding Dong, is there something wrong with your database?
Estimated value: 40,000 gold coins! Almost as good as a level 2 real treasure!
Three and a half stars? Same rarity as my Griffin Headgear!
Extremely rare. Damn rare.
Ding Dong, open your eyes and take a look. Qi Ge's entire boat is covered with fairy ginkgo trees!"
A sweet and innocent voice sounded in Mixue Bingtang's heart:
【Ding Dong Tips:
Miss Bingtang, Dingdong was not mistaken.
There are very few immortal ginkgo trees in the entire Yasha world, and there are only sixty-three living immortal ginkgo trees in the entire Yasha world. 】
Mixue Bingtang: "How many trees are there here?"
【Ding Dong reminder: Sixty trees.】
Honey Snow Rock Sugar: ...
Mixue Bingtang tried hard to suppress the shock in her heart, and then asked in her heart:
"Ding Dong, help me check out the Qi Ge Island, ah, the properties and valuation of this ship."
【Ding Dong Tips:
The specific properties are protected and cannot be viewed.
Valuation: Priceless]
Mixue Bingtang was shocked again:
"Ding Dong, you can't even identify it?
Aren’t you the identifier created by the goddess of wealth?
Is there anything you can’t identify?”
[Ding Dong Tip: The Silver Spirit also has divine protection, and like Ding Dong, it is a true god-level creation. ]
Mixue rock sugar instantly perked up my spirits!
True God’s creation!
Hang! I found it!
Qige, you are really cheating!
It turns out that I’m not the only one who has cheats.
Humph.
There can only be one destined person in the Yasa world, the supreme ruler chosen by all the Yasa gods!
That’s my Mixue Rock Sugar!
Now I have found your cheat, Qi Ge, but you know nothing about mine.
I have a big advantage this time.
Once I penetrate into the Qi Ge’s forces, I will continue to collect and investigate more intelligence, and then find the right time to seize the Silver Spirit. Then I will have two plug-ins!
"Don't be in a hurry, take it slow.
Women and children take the magic passage on the left.
The sampan on the right allowed the shorter goblins to come up first to avoid a stampede.
The mages' cars are lined up in the square and marked. An elemental sea dragon snake will help you transport them up later.
Wake up, all the lamp spirits hiding in the cars, we have arrived!
Don't cause trouble for the goblins doing the census, be more conscious!"
Qi Ge gave orders loudly while stealing glances at Mixue Bingtang.
To be honest, Qi Ge in his previous life was not very familiar with Mixue Bingtang, the number one player in Asia, but he had heard many stories about her.
To be honest, Qi Ge was very curious about her.
In any case, a single player who has not joined a guild can become the number one player in the Asian World ranking, which means he must have outstanding abilities.
If the character is good enough, you can definitely consider Mixue Bingtang as a target to win over.
Qi Ge is well aware of the difficulty of his future plans.
The more powerful allies you have, the better.
But the more Qi Ge looked at it, the more strange the Mixue Rock Sugar seemed to him.
Most people who get on board the Silver Spirit will be stunned by the magic wood on board.
Some people would even come to ask what those things are.
For example, Luo Xiang and Wolfs, who had boarded the Silver Spirit, were like this.
This is the case with NPCs, not to mention players.
However, Mixue Bingtang just stood quietly and upright on the deck, as if she was used to it.
This number one person in the previous life is indeed interesting.
…
…
With the help of the Silver Spirit's powerful magical power, it took only a dozen minutes for more than 20,000 people from the Rich City to board the ship smoothly and began to rest on the Silver Spirit in an orderly manner.
Qi Ge and Xiao Yinhe played around for a while, and then asked Xiao Yinhe to help control the Yin Ling.
The Silver Spirit set sail with a loud horn, cutting through the waves and heading towards the Sea King Turtle in the deep sea.
Qi Ge seized the opportunity, picked up two candied coconuts, one in each hand, and walked towards the dazed Mixue Bingtang.
This time, Mixue Bingtang put away the griffin headgear and put on the noble robe of the Wealth Church priest, looking solemn and elegant.
The sea breeze caressed her, and her long black hair and the black and white cat tail behind her fluttered at the same time, like a hollow flag.
Hiss, cat's tail~
Mixue Bingtang’s race must be human, so why does he have a cat’s tail?
Could it be that...
Qi Ge curiously went around to the side, only to find to her disappointment that her cat's tail was actually connected to her cloak.
Tsk.
Bland.
