Chapter 075 Journey to the Rhineau (1)
On the first day of the 555th year of the Bran Gregorian calendar, the breeze was not rising and the sun was shining.
Since the morning, the streets of Laiyan City have returned to a long-lost peace.
On the 60th birthday of Count Black, the rebellion will naturally not be so cool about the other side. The noble alliance has been forced recently, and with such a rare opportunity to breathe, of course, it will not cause any trouble.
Oh, it's not too calm, because there are shouts coming from time to time, such as demolition fees. This is a very eye-catching cry recently.
The crowd of people shouting has expanded in the past few days. In the past, there were hundreds of civilians on Linhe Street, and later people from several streets around also participated. Now there are thousands of people, and such a large group of people wandering on the streets is quite eye-catching.
In Xicheng District, at the gate of the Thieves Union, Tang En found Jack in disguise.
"Here, this is the invitation you want." Jack handed over a wooden post with a big red gold stamping.
"Thanks."
Jack grinned: "This thing is not cheap in the black market... Well, do you have to go? The boat is obviously a trap waiting for the ghost to take the hook. Why do you have to crash into it?"
"Haha, I have a reason to go." There was no way to tell outsiders about the system mission, so Tang En just said, "Besides, I have a disguise, well, don't forget that thing. If I am trapped on the boat, I will be saved."
Jack rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Don't worry, I can't forget it. Damn, I'm unlucky to know you."
"Tsk tsk, don't be fooled by me. Don't forget that I saved your life. Besides, don't you give you the disguised props."
"Hmph, if it weren't for the disguise... Look, this is the smoke crystal bottle, this is the strong light crystal, this is the sleeve arrow..." Jack took out props in pain.
Tang En honestly and unceremoniously took it all over. How could there be any inferior things that could be attracted by this prop thief?
Then Jack gritted his teeth and took out a scroll-shaped thing from his arms: "This is a magic shield scroll. I used to be in a noble family. Uh, that noble friend gave it to me, and I have been reluctant to use it... Ahem, if you can do it, you won't use it, it's always valuable."
"Haha, not bad, only one?" Tang En took it and played with it for a while.
Jack suddenly furious: "Damn it, what do you think this is? There is only one? I tell you that if this scroll is auctioned, it will be worth at least a few thousand gold coins."
...
During the day, Lina would go to the Scream Operation, so when Don Eun came back, the attic was empty.
Tang En began to prepare upstairs, dressed in luxurious clothes, sleeve arrows, and hid all kinds of things Jack gave him. Finally, he flipped his wrist and the bumpy black dagger disappeared into his elbow.
Next was the disguise of the face. After agreeing to give Jack the disguise props, Tang En made a total of several sets. He picked a pair to cover his face, and Tang En looked in the mirror and handled various details.
When all this is done, the afternoon has come unknowingly.
Tang En left a letter on the table in the hall, saying that he wanted to do something, ranging from one day to one day... uh, that's hard to say.
Lina knew Tang En's identity, so she naturally understood when she saw this letter.
...
Nangang Pier, because it has been very chaotic recently, there are fewer ships for shipping cargo than usual.
Piers 11 and 12 have been completely shut down at this time. It is not that there is an armed fight here, but that there is an extremely huge luxury ship parked at these two piers.
The white hull is about a hundred meters long, the hull is minimalist and streamlined, with five-story cabins up the horizontal line of the deck, and a huge iron anchor shape sign is carved near the bow. If you stand at the top of the ship, holding the railing and looking down, people are like ants, unconsciously will be prosperous and give birth to boring feelings like the superiors... This is the luxury ship of the Auston family who held a birthday party for Earl Black.
Above the pier, there are endless luxury carriages.
Although the banquet starts at night, guests naturally cannot come at night, which is a very rude behavior. Of course, if you have a high status, it is a different matter.
Some nobles, merchants, and celebrities from all walks of life who arrived kept greetings and chatting, and then walked towards the boarding entrance together.
There are two entrances to the boarding ship, each above two docks. At each entrance are a group of gun guards and two smart butlers.
The guests handed the gilded invitation to the butler for a brief check and then they could get on the boat. Someone inside would tell the location of the rest room and the party hall according to the guest level. If the guests wanted to participate in the ship, someone would accompany him to introduce it. Everything seemed fast, thoughtful and orderly, which was a reflection of the profound heritage of a large noble family.
At this time, Powells was wearing a tight black coat, carrying a giant sword in his hand and muttered something, and walked towards the boarding port as if no one was around.
Some nobles and celebrities around him not only showed a strange look when they saw him, but there were really not many people in Laiyan City who didn't know Bovis. Everyone knew why he came.
He handed over the invitation, but Bovis failed to go in immediately. It was not that the butler did not know Bovis, but because his giant sword was too silly.
The Black family did not forcefully stipulate that they could not bring weapons or anything, but when attending a birthday party, the nobles and celebrities consciously did not bring them. Even if some noble young men fell into the waist and walked in, they were also nobles' thin swords. They did not come with a giant sword like Powells, who knew that they were here to attend the party, and those who didn't know thought they were here to smash the venue.
Bovis was not angry, but waved his hand and asked the butler to call the higher-level people over.
At this time, another group of people greeted each other and walked into the boarding port from Bovis.
Huh? Powells was surprised and rubbed his big red nose and looked at the dozen people walking by.
This feels... it's a mole, is it a ghost face? It doesn't look like it, but it's a bit familiar...
Among the group of people, Bovis knew only the viscount nobleman who was the leader, and the others who looked at the clothes were probably some merchants.
Bovis, who was unsteady, rubbed his hands and watched the group of people walk up the stairs and disappear on the boat, without taking action.
Interestingly, there are some moles coming up... Forget it, the target tonight is ghost face, so don't worry about these little fish and shrimp...
At this time, a person who was in charge of the business came hurriedly and picked up Powells in person.
...
In the evening, there were fewer people on the pier and almost all the guests had arrived.
“Woo…”
A low horn sound, and the brightly lit luxury ship began to put away the big iron anchor on the bow.
Soon, a black iron anchor covered with mud was put away. The hull trembled slightly, slowly retreated, turned, and drove out of the port.
The journey to the Renau River with luxurious ships has officially begun...
Chapter completed!
