The second prince Bantu was assassinated on the way to encircle and suppress "Golden Tooth" Gulev. The news soon spread throughout the Tianlan Capital.
There is an ancient tower that has stood for hundreds of years on the seaside of the Second Ring of the Royal Capital, with a Gothic spire and a huge faded brown pendulum dial decorated on the top floor. This was a building from the time of Campbell III, and it has witnessed
The rise and fall of a dynasty witnessed the rise of a new dynasty.
Inside the old bell tower, huge gears drive the hands to click, clicking regularly for hundreds of years. This is also the only place in Tianlan Capital where you can hear the flow of time.
The sun shines into the bell tower through the glass windows and shines on the white-haired old man in the wheelchair who is taking a nap.
This old man with an everlasting expression is like a dying old cat who is afraid of the cold. Only when he is exposed to the sun can he feel the warmth and vitality. Listening to the sound of the pendulum, it seems that only then can he count how many days he will have until the end of his life.
how long.
The old man likes peace and quiet and stays alone in the bell tower all year round.
Today, as an exception, there was a sick young man standing next to him.
If Raymond were here, he would definitely recognize this person as the guy he regarded as his life-and-death enemy, Meyer Clive, the user with the sour fruit ability! The mastermind behind the poisonous plot that destroyed Philippe.
Meyer seemed to be full of respect for the old man.
A full quarter of an hour has passed since the news of the assassination of the second prince came.
The old man in the wheelchair did not speak. He stood quietly aside like a well-behaved student.
After a long time, the old man woke up as if he had taken a nap, and his eyelids twitched.
Only then did Meyer dare to greet him: "Teacher, are you awake?"
The old man slowly opened his eyelids and sighed: "The situation in the capital is really hard to understand now..."
It seemed that it took a lot of effort to finish a whole sentence. After a pause, he continued: "I originally thought that after the Ninth Prince was assassinated, the person who arranged the plan would slowly surface. The second Prince Bantu who was the most restless naturally
The biggest suspect...but I didn't expect that he would be killed now."
Meyer has long been accustomed to the teacher's jumping thinking mode.
He looked respectful, as if reporting work, and said: "Teacher, I personally went to see the scene where the Ninth Prince was assassinated last time... He can kill the palace knight Amilo quietly, so he is obviously a professional assassin.
There are not many organizations in the entire Black Sea that have the strength to assassinate Sequence 5 Transcendents. It is most likely the organization called the 'Assassin Alliance'. But judging from what has been reported today, the commander of the Military Intelligence Department described the assassin's movement skills.
Weird, but the extraordinary level may not be too high..."
After listening, the old man asked lazily: "You mean, you suspect that the two assassinations may have been carried out by two groups of people?"
Meyer nodded and said: "This time, the second prince Bantu died during the operation to encircle and suppress Jinya Gulev. The timing of the assassin's appearance was too coincidental. It seemed that he was intentionally rescuing Jinya."
After a pause, he said doubtfully: "But...if Gulev really had that level of expert support, he wouldn't have had to take the risk himself to kidnap the warden's wife. I suspect that the assassin might have made it on the spur of the moment.
Taking action...maybe it's Jin Ya's old acquaintance, but it's unlikely...This makes the disciple very confused."
"Well, it's good that you can think of this. Everything has a cause... If you look for the effect and deduce the cause, you will definitely find the answer."
The old man nodded in approval and solved the puzzle, "Gulev is a relic of the former dynasty. He ventured into the city to kidnap him this time just to save the little girl of the Campbell family. Since you think that assassin is willing to fight with Jin
The teeth have something to do with it, and the answer can probably be found by guarding the little girl named Anna. However, now our CP9 task is to let the third prince successfully inherit the Tianlan throne. She is just a little princess from the previous dynasty, not worthy of being so concerned.
...The person behind the plan to assassinate the Ninth Prince is the one who deserves the most attention."
Meyer nodded and said: "Teacher, then I should stay with the third prince to protect him for a while... I always feel that there may be some variables in this battle for the throne."
"There must be variables. The current situation is obviously planned by an expert... That person lost several times and gained the upper hand. I think that in the future, when the dust of the ownership of the throne is settled, the truth will come to light and we will know who he is.
The foundation. But you are a chess piece and a person playing chess, so naturally you cannot let your opponent succeed easily. It doesn't matter how many pieces you lose. It depends on who wins the game in the end. Only then can you really say who is better at chess...
"
Meyer said thoughtfully, "Disciples should remember the teacher's teachings."
The old man raised his eyebrows: "By the way, has the cause of death of No. 9 been investigated last time?"
Meyer: "The last person NO.9 came into contact with was Umu, the eldest son of the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce. They went to the Nigel Volcanic Islands to join the 'Black Flag Pirates' in order to hand over the 'Ackerman Virus' as planned.
'...The most likely cause of NO.9's death was the awakening of alien beasts and the eruption of a volcano, but the strength of their mercenary group was not weak, and there was no one left alive in the group, which is a bit questionable... We later returned
According to the investigation, Umu has contact with a person named 'Kitz Baylor' from the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce..."
"It goes without saying... you just have to know what's going on."
The old man shook his hand. After saying this, it seemed that he had spent a long time to recover his energy. After a long pause, he said feebly: "I don't have much time left... When the third prince ascends the throne,
When you take over from me to take charge of Black Sea CP9, don’t let me down..."
With a flattered expression on his face, Meyer bowed and said, "I will definitely live up to my mission."
"Go ahead."
"is teacher."
...
Lulu's virus experiments were becoming more and more dangerous, and ordinary rooms could no longer meet his needs. Therefore, Raymond rented a professional laboratory in Tianlan Third Ring Road.
When I knocked on the door, Jiji the monkey opened the door.
Lulu was immersed in research on the experimental table and had no time to move her hands.
Raymond walked into the laboratory carrying the seriously injured Jin Ya and threw him directly on the dissecting table.
It was like a pile of goods had been dropped, and there was a lot of movement.
"Is this the new experimental subject you brought me?"
Lulu looked at the dying Jinya, showing a hint of surprise, and commented: "Hey... he is actually a Sequence 5 Transcendent... The quality of this experiment is pretty good."
Seeing this, he really became interested, got up and moved his buttocks from the experimental table.
Like a butcher looking at the animal he is about to slaughter, he carefully inspects the gold teeth.
Seeing this scene,
Yoselin's face changed with fright. What's going on?
This is not a clinic at all, but more like a secret base for strange human experiments, right?
Raymond looked at the woman's suddenly wary eyes, fearing that she would misunderstand, and quickly said to Lulu: "This is not an experimental subject, but a wounded person who needs your help to treat."
This... guy with a ridiculously big head is actually a doctor?
Yoselin looked at Lulu in front of her with a strange expression.
Although he wears a white coat and looks like a doctor, he is obviously not very old. After all, being a doctor is a profession that requires seniority. The older you are, the more experience you have.
She never expected that this big-headed brat would be "the most powerful doctor in the Black Sea" as the guy said?
No matter how you look at it, it’s impossible!
If she hadn't seen that the instruments placed in the laboratory looked very high-end, Yoselin would not have been able to trust this boy to treat Captain Jinya's injuries.
She felt that perhaps finding another clinic on the street would be more reliable than the underage doctor in front of her.
...
"Wounded?"
Hearing this, Lulu suddenly lost much interest and muttered: "I've been very busy recently... The development of virus serum has entered the final stage... I can't get away at all. This guy is seriously injured.
, it’s very troublesome to treat..."
"Troublesome?"
Yoselin's ears perked up.
With such a serious injury, the most powerful palace doctor she had ever seen would probably be helpless. Is this big-headed guy just saying it's trouble?
And looking at his impatient expression, it's obviously not that he can't be saved, but that he thinks it's troublesome and doesn't want to save him?
Although her rationality made her think that the big-headed boy in front of her could not be a powerful doctor, after all, this was Captain Jinya's last hope for survival... What's more, this "unreliable" doctor was introduced by the little princess's man.
He has no reason to cheat himself.
Yoselin didn't know about the relationship between Lulu and Raymond, so she thought that this strange doctor was hesitant to take action because the remuneration had not yet been agreed upon.
She said directly: "Doctor, please save my team leader! As long as you save his life, no matter how much medical fee you need, I will find a way to satisfy you."
"I'm very busy..."
Lulu was obviously not interested. She pointed at Raymond and said with a flat mouth: "If you want to negotiate the price, just talk to my captain. He is more interested in money."
"captain?"
Only then did Yoselin realize that this strange big-headed doctor was a subordinate of the little princess man?
Raymond knew that Lulu was afraid of trouble, so he persuaded him: "They are also my friends, so you can help them treat them."
"oh."
Lulu didn't say anything more, and approached the autopsy table and began to check Gulev's injuries. After a while, he came out with the diagnosis result and said: "The injury is quite serious. It is not difficult to save it. It will take a lot of medicine to restore it to its original state."
It’s a precious medicine.”
Seeing the doctor say this, Yoselin finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to the two of them, "Thank you."
"that..."
A very precious potion?
But what Raymond cared about was this information.
If Lulu, the son of a landlord, could say it was expensive, then the medicine to be used would definitely not be cheap.
He felt that he should not pretend to be fat.
Ever since he spent 100 million from Anna's small treasury, he has now become a super debt-ridden king.
It's easy to get familiar with it, but the price still needs to be calculated clearly.
What's more, as a big pirate with a bounty of over 20 million, he definitely doesn't need this little bit of treatment money.
Thinking of this, he motioned to Yoselin, but he was too embarrassed to speak loudly, "You know, after all, Gulev was seriously injured, and many precious medicines would be used to save him. Uh... when the time comes, give me
Just calculate the cost price."
"ah?"
When Yoselin heard the medical fee again, she lost all her heroic spirit.
After all, the man in front of her was the little princess. She felt that she couldn't deceive him, so she asked: "Well...how much does it cost?"
This statement sounds obviously lacking in confidence.
"You have no money?"
Looking at her expression, Raymond suddenly had a bad feeling.
Yoselin glanced at him sheepishly: "I mean...if the medical fee is too much, I will go out and think of a solution."
Think of a way, right? Are you going to go out and rob now?
Raymond felt that he might have to cut his flesh again today, so he tried to ask: "Then...how much money do you have now?"
Yoselin thought for a while: "Less than 100,000..."
"gold?"
"Quark..."
Damn it, the total is only 100,000 quarks! How could you boast about "you'll be satisfied with the medical treatment package" just now?
Have you really been a pirate for a long time, and the gangsterism comes out of nowhere?
Raymond pointed to Gulev who was lying down again and said, "You don't have money for gold teeth?"
A flash of shame flashed across Yoselin's face, "I am in charge of his money now..."
"You two only have a fortune of 100,000 quarks in total?"
Raymond looked in disbelief, as if he had heard something incredible.
The majestic leader of the three great pirate groups of the Black Sea, "Golden Teeth", has only one hundred thousand quarks in his entire wealth. Who would believe it?!
Although they were said to be one of the three great pirate groups in the past, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse, so how could they only have such a small amount of funds?
"that..."
Yoselin was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she quickly explained: "Two years ago, our pirate group was surrounded and suppressed by the Tianlan Royal Navy, and all the property in the group was confiscated..."
After a pause, she continued: "We have also spent the little money we have on the recent rescue plans..."
"..."
Raymond didn't want to complain anymore.
Did you spend money on your stupid kidnapping plan? It couldn't be that you wanted to use hundreds of thousands of quarks to bribe the warden's secret technique. Others felt humiliated by the "change", so they reported it.
Bar?
Yoselin was afraid that Gulev's treatment would be delayed due to money issues, so she quickly said: "Well... Actually, our gold teeth have hidden a secret treasure over the years... If we can find it, it won't cost much money for the consultation."
questionable."
"Secret treasure?"
Hey, there is still a turning point!
Raymond's eyes sparkled when he heard this.
Let me just say, how come the three great pirate groups don’t have any private goods such as treasures, let alone their leader Gulev?!
Just when he was full of expectations, he heard Yoselin change the topic and whispered: "But... only the little princess knows about the treasure... After she was captured, we didn't know where she put the treasure.
.”
She looked at Raymond with some embarrassment, and weakly suggested: "How about we owe it first? After we rescue the little princess, we will pay you back..."
"The secret treasure this woman is talking about...couldn't it be the ones in Anna's storage ring?"
Obviously, yes.
All the gains from the Golden Teeth Pirates' robbery were stored in Anna's hands. And her storage ring was now in her own hands.
After thinking about this aspect clearly, Raymond's eyes were as unwavering as those of a dead fish.
There is no hope of gold tooth treasures or anything like that...
At the end of the day, shouldn’t you just put the money from your left pocket into your right pocket?
He couldn't say that now that Anna's entire wealth belonged to him, he had spent almost all of it on building ships?
really,
If you borrow something, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.
80% of the cost of this treatment will not be recovered.
"never mind."
Raymond was helpless and sighed: "Lulu, let's treat him first."
"oh."
Hearing this, Lulu took out a green injection and injected it directly into Gulev's forearm. While pushing it back, he explained: "This is the 'Bath Life Potion', it is very precious.
Potion.”
Stop talking...my body hurts.
When he heard the name of the potion, Raymond knew that it was very valuable.
This rare potion is worth at least one million gold coins on the black market of the Endless Sea.
In the blink of an eye, 100 million quarks are gone.
He looked hopeless.
.....
After the injection of the medicine was completed, Gulev's life was hanging.
Lulu pinched his bones and muscles, like a kitten greedy for dried fish, smacked his lips and said: "The physical fitness is good, it's a pity for such an excellent experimental subject..."
As he said this, the guy didn't know what he was thinking of. He turned his eyes and asked Raymond: "Well... Captain, look at his broken arm. Can I give him a new one?"
"..."
Raymond rolled his eyes. He knew that Lulu's old problem of itchy hands had recurred. Just like when he insisted on changing an eyeball for himself before, he probably wanted to try the results of his recent limb transplant surgery.
Sudden,
"etc!"
Yoselin on the side was shocked when she heard this. Can she still hold her arm?
She didn't know that her captain's strength had dropped too much in the past two years because of his broken arm, and he was depressed all day long. If he could really regenerate his broken arm, wouldn't it not only save his life, but also fulfill his wish to regain his strength?
She turned her eyes and asked Lulu: "Doctor... um, can you really regenerate a broken arm? But it's been more than two years since my captain's arm was broken..."
"Yes! Definitely!"
After hearing the patient's family members' interest, Lulu immediately became a qualified salesman.
He said excitedly: "And I guarantee that the arm I replaced is better than his original one! Let me tell you... is it because the broken arm has a great impact on his strength? I have a way to not only make
He has returned to his peak and can go to the next level. I have a medicine here... Yes, although it has not been tested on humans yet, I have tried it on monkeys and there is 100% no problem..."
It was normal for Raymond to listen to Lulu's endless sales pitch first. After all, it was normal for this guy to want to talk to someone after being locked up for a long time.
But as I listened to the taste, I gradually started to feel something was wrong...
This guy Lulu not only promotes his limb transplant surgery, but also wants to conduct a virus antibody test on Gulev!
Raymond wanted to say something, but he couldn't get a word in. He could only watch silently from the side. Lulu was as if he was selling a kid, relying on some professional medical terminology that was difficult to understand.
The patient's family members were stunned for a moment after being deceived.
"oh..."
Yoselin didn't understand it that well, but she sounded very powerful and nodded from time to time.
Finally, after thinking about it, she turned around and asked Raymond for help, and asked: "Um...is the limb transplant that your doctor said is really feasible? The 'super serum' he said is 100% sure to be true?
"
"Well..."
Raymond thought for a long time before finally saying, "Yes!"
Although many of Lulu's ideas sound like fantasy, he is indeed a very rigorous doctor of medicine, and everything is accurate to the last minute.
He said that if he was 90% sure, he would be 90% sure, and it wouldn't be less...
Raymond actually believed that he could get a better eyeball for himself. He hadn't changed it for so long. In addition to getting used to it, more importantly, he wanted to always remember the guy who had caused him trauma.
But Gulev is different from me. He needs a wall-broken transplant!
Yoselin was like those girls who are confused by salesmen. She had no idea what product she wanted to buy, so she agreed in a daze: "Then... I'll spare the trouble, doctor."
Lulu nodded excitedly: "Don't worry, I will do the best for him!"
Said,
He turned to Raymond and asked: "Captain, do you think the patient's family has agreed, so I'm going to start?"
"All right!"
Raymond compromised.
He thought he could just attach an arm to Jinya, since no one would die anyway.
But suddenly,
He came up with an even crazier plan.
"Hey...since the arm can be reattached, why not give him a secret solution?"
Once this thought came together, I couldn't let it go.
Although Lulu and Colin are very powerful, they cannot see the light, and they will be targeted by the World Headquarters if they are not careful.
He currently lacks the kind of master who can show his face!
And isn't "Golden Teeth" Gulev just an extraordinary master who has been stuck at the peak of Sequence 5 for many years? Doesn't he happen to be sealing the soul of a complete lava dragon in his notes? Doesn't that high priest of Illyria know how to seal souls?
Is there a secret solution?
The secret solution to the Ackerman Virus Lava Dragon is super awesome just thinking about it!
If it really succeeds, wouldn't Jinya become the top master in the Black Sea?
Wouldn’t it be a great help to rescue Anna in the future?!
Thinking of this, Raymond's eyes suddenly glowed with the same excitement as Lulu.
Gulev, who was unconscious on the autopsy table nearby, didn't know if he felt something secretly, and his body trembled.
Yoselin was so frightened that she thought it was a flashback, and exclaimed: "Doctor! Please treat him quickly. I will follow the treatment plan you mentioned!"
