Chapter 107: Small country, leopard print, civil war and artistic stone statues (3)
As the carriage drove towards the capital of the Kingdom of Kunta, various stone statues gradually appeared on both sides of the road.
The stone statues have different appearances, including humans and animals, but humanoid stone statues account for the majority. Perhaps in order to rush for time, the speed of the carriage increased a lot, as if it was keeping up with the highway. Annan could not see the specific appearance of the stone statues.<
/p>
After getting off the carriage at the gate of the palace and castle, I had time to observe the stone statues on the roadside.
For example, the stone statue in front of Esdeath. The appearance of the stone statue is that of a middle-aged woman who still retains her charm.
The craftsmen who carved the stone statues have extremely superb skills. Every strand of hair is carefully carved little by little. Even the wrinkles at the corners of the women's eyes are carved very clearly. If you look closely, you can even see the wrinkles on the skin.
Pores.
Each stone statue is very lifelike and lifelike, and the level of detail is as if a real person has been rubbed with stone powder.
Esdeath felt it with his sense of sight, and found that there was no life breath. Then he poked the stone statue, and it was hard and felt like stone.
Seeing Esdeath touching the stone statue, the guard standing at the door opened his mouth and hesitated to speak.
"You two." The butler walked up to the two of them, "It's still some time before the dinner starts, but before that, His Majesty Monto would like to see you first."
"Okay." Annan nodded, casually patting Muramasa hanging on his waist, "Do you need me to put the weapon away for a while?"
"You are joking." The butler said with a smile, "Although you are here in a private capacity, as a 'new star in the navy', His Majesty trusts your character and does not require any security checks."
After saying that, the butler bowed slightly.
"Please follow me."
……
When Annan and Esdeath entered the palace, there were only a few guards standing guard at the gate.
"Why would a guest sitting in a carriage like this touch those stone statues?" One of the guards asked in a low voice, "Didn't Mr. Fern remind her?"
"Mr. Fern is the king's butler, and he has a lot of things to do. Maybe he forgot about it," said a guard.
"Yeah, what a pity." Another guard echoed, "Mr. Fern's negligence allowed such a beautiful person to turn into a stone statue." A guard with a frivolous tone said.
"Okay, stop talking. If anyone else hears it, we will all turn into stone statues!"
"Forget it, there's nothing to be afraid of." The frivolous guard didn't care. "Now the entire palace and castle are full of our people, so it's nothing to chat with us."
"Oh, what are you talking about?" A low and hoarse voice came from behind the guards.
Several guards were startled and turned back almost at the same time.
"Ba...Lord Baal!" the guards said in unison.
The speaker was Barr, the captain of the kingdom's guard. He was standing behind the guard, followed by a group of soldiers.
Barr's face was gloomy, his eyes like poisonous snakes kept scanning several guards, and then he took out a small purple stone from his pocket and said with a smile:
"It is unforgivable for you to reveal such an important secret so casually, even though you are members of Jinke."
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone in Barr's hand glowed with lavender light.
"Sir, don't..."
The guards were shocked. Before they could beg for mercy, they heard a "sizzling" sound of electricity coming from their ears, and then they all lost consciousness.
The small purple stone in Barr's hand also turned into powder. He clapped his hands and said to the people behind him:
"Clean up these piles of dust. Then take the phone bug to Jin Ke."
"Yes." Several soldiers took out cleaning tools from the sentry nearby and began to clean the scene skillfully.
"Sir, the call is connected."
A soldier came to Barr with a phone, and Barr picked up the phone.
"Your people can't keep their mouths shut again, Jin Ke." Barr said, "In order to prevent the plan from going wrong, I will help you deal with it."
"Then you're calling me now to accuse me?" The phone caller said calmly, "My people have already paid the price for this. Do you still think that I will apologize to you?"
"Of course not. I'm just worried." Barr smiled, "After all, these little pirates don't have zippers on their mouths, so they can't keep any secrets. Now is the critical moment of the plan. What if because of these little pirates?"
It would be a pity to fail in accomplishing such a great thing."
"My matter is a trivial matter. If it ruins the good deeds of Mr. Jin, that is not what you and I want to see."
The phone bug was silent for a moment, and then said: "I understand, I will restrain my men. But Barr, there is something I want to tell you first. The two marines invited by your king are not little minions. Don't stay in the gutter.
The boat capsized."
Then Jinke hung up the phone.
Barr put the receiver back on the phone bug.
"Of course I know that the two marines are an obstacle." Barr looked at the stone statues on both sides of the road, "But the plan to remove the obstacle has already begun."
