"I understand."

On the abandoned sentry tower, looking at Wyatt's leaving figure, Le Corleone slowly spoke.

"Your Highness has reason to believe that the murderer is an Immortal Seed," he said, subtly extending his hand in Yannick's direction, "so the suspicion is on us?"

Yannick smiled slightly and stepped back humbly:

"There is no 'we'."

Li was silent for a while.

"Your Highness may not know our clan well," the East Continent Blood Tribe said softly under the moonlight, "The immortal species in this world may not necessarily have the protection of the clan - there are those who live alone and have been abandoned by their relatives, and there are also those who have defected from the clan.

There are even some clan members who secretly violate our clan's inheritance laws and secretly give origin blood 'gifts' to others, giving birth to descendants of the blood clan who are not registered..."

Thales never looked back.

He raised his monocular and paid close attention to the residential area not far away, occasionally frowning.

"do you know?"

But the prince interrupted Li as soon as he opened his mouth, causing the envoy from the Kingdom of Darkness to look coldly in the eyes.

"Since Lord Parrot's reforms and the promulgation of the laws of the Emerald City, the nobles of the South Bank Territory have had a tradition of being both shrewd and deceptive."

Thales' words were faint, but he never put down the telescope:

"If they want to silence a person forever - in an involuntary way - they will not do it directly in the territory because of the law, but will send him to a foreign ocean-going ship and take him to the high seas.'

"Free travel', I'll leave the rest to Mai Hai."

As long as something doesn't happen within your own jurisdiction, it didn't happen.

Yannick narrowed his eyes and looked at Li.

"Afterwards, we couldn't even find the body, and we couldn't even investigate it."

And there is no need to file a case - it happened abroad!

Thales sighed.

He turned around with the telescope and looked at the two guests carefully through the lens tube with great impoliteness - even though at such a close distance, nothing could be seen in the lens tube.

"Ah, very good, it seems you know this tradition."

Thales pretended to have realized something after careful observation. He put down the lens and rubbed his eyes that were almost blinded by his pretense.

The two guests said nothing.

"So I was puzzled - why eleven years ago Federico Kevin Deere, the son of a traitor with a sensitive identity, much attention, and the disgrace of his family, was able to send him on a 'free trip' to the high seas in Zhan

You survived on an ocean-going ship and came back alive?"

The prince was very serious and marveled:

"Is it because the boatman who was silenced back then did not do his job well, or is it that the Muhai girl really likes the folklore and favors the strong-blooded young man and lets him escape?"

Thales looked at the expressions of the two vampires.

Not surprisingly, they remained motionless, reacting indifferently, as steady as a mountain of sighs.

It was as if he didn't hear the prince's frivolous remarks teasing the girl Mu Hai.

It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that Yannick took the lead and smiled. He looked at the elders in Donglu:

"Perhaps, Your Highness, we should not question the justice and sanctity of the Muhai girl?"

Thales shrugged.

Justice and holiness...

(of course.

After all, regardless of merchants, sailors, sea travelers, pirates, navy, sea kings or sea monkeys, as long as they go to the sea, everyone prays to this girl - you pray for a safe journey, and she wishes for a full cabin of plunder, then who will

I wish you could make a lot of money and be successful in suppressing bandits...

Then Mu Hai, who is regarded as the eldest daughter of the Supreme God in the scholastic classics (some say they are brother and sister, and some say they are grandparents), why should they have a bowl of Hai Duan Ping?

Well, let the merchants and sailors be safe halfway, and let the pirates rob the halfway house.

Well, these two families have fought half of the battle on the sea, and then let the navy join in halfway. The bribes collected here will be half, and the bandits will be suppressed half the time there.

What? Why are several batches of goods and people lost forever, you ask?

Well, of course the battle was fierce and he fell into the sea - don't you pay handling fees for doing things? Don't sea monkeys need to eat?

Don't be unhappy, look at this:

Maritime merchants only make half of it, but they make a profit after all.

It's better if the pirates take half of it than if they don't make any money at all.

The navy joins midway and takes half of your salary, making money.

He didn't collect it all, you didn't go bankrupt, you can still make money next time.

He killed half of the gangsters again, which was a great achievement.

But half of the gangsters have escaped, so they can continue to suppress them and continue to make money.

In this way, you say, under Mu Hai's rule, fairness and sacredness are enforced. Will everyone have food to eat and make money?

Half are alive, half are dead, half are increased, half are reduced, and the sea will take back a smaller half!

(Leaning back) This is balance and the way of the sea!

Everyone says that God is pure and holy, who says that Mu Hai is unfair?

What? Some people say that if this is the case, then what is the use of this young girl Mu Hai?

That's another story...

The above nonsense is excerpted from the notes taken by His Highness Thales when he read the article "The Lord of the Sea - The Underlying Logic and Historical Evolution of Muhai Faith" in the theology class of His Highness Thales. Priest Megan sealed it after reading it and strictly prohibited it from being made public.

.)

Under Thales' gaze, Li remained silent.

"Federico told me not long ago," Thales sneered, "He has been hiding and living in hiding for many years, taking shelter under the sect of his father's old friend, until the 'family' that sheltered him could not stand the pressure and changed its attitude.

He kicked him out of the house."

Yannick smiled even more happily.

Thales stared at Li:

"As we all know, the Kevin Deere family dominates the Emerald City, with abundant resources and broad channels. It also controls ocean routes. Together with the East China Sea Cullen family, it is the maritime pillar of the Kingdom of Stars.

Looking at both sides of the End Sea, the Iris family is at least a giant, not to mention extremely powerful, and the surrounding city-states are unwilling to antagonize them. During every year and festival, they all send envoys to congratulate and greet them."

Thales narrowed his eyes:

"Then I'll be even more curious."

He put his hands behind his back and walked gently around Li.

"What kind of loyal 'family' does one have to be to be willing to take the risk of antagonizing Iris and being retaliated by the Emerald City to hide Federico, the black sheep of the Kevin Deere family and the thorn in Duke Zahn's side?

"Then what kind of brave 'family' must be to be able to secretly save Federico's life and secretly save Federico's life by committing a crime at the critical juncture when Kongming Palace suddenly lost its lord and the Emerald City was indignant eleven years ago?

Keeping the secret strictly for several years without leaking any news?"

Thales stopped and stood in front of Li, staring at the other person's pale face that lacked blood.

"Unless that 'family' saw far more than just risks."

Thales said seriously:

"Unless the foundation that that 'family' can rely on is no less than that of the Emerald City."

Li slowly raised his head and looked at Thales, his eyes filled with deathly silence.

"And maybe they were not forced to drive him out of the house as Federico said," Thales said in an indifferent tone, "but they were willing, even eagerly awaiting, to send him home with gifts and

I wish him success as soon as he wishes."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Yannick spoke up at the right time, repeating the prince's words: "I'm willing and looking forward to it."

"Then I remembered it again."

On the top of the sentry tower, Thales's voice sounded again.

"In those years when Kevin Dill and the Corleone family had not yet turned against each other, and when you had a close relationship and were even allies, there was an important route for foreign ocean-going ships departing from the Emerald City to the Eastern Continent—Wanghai of the Kingdom of Darkness.

Cliff."

Thales' gaze was like a sword, piercing Count Li:

"Is there a possibility that the plan to send Federico to the 'high seas' to exterminate him happened to be caught by you, the Corleone family of the Kingdom of Darkness?"

Having said this, Li finally slowly turned his head and spoke softly:

"His Royal Highness Thales..."
