"We only detonated half of the bomb, that is to say, only the stern was destroyed by the firepower." Raphael replied: "And we left life jackets for them in the storage compartment. It depends on them whether they can escape luck."
Kant looked at Raphael with strange eyes.
He didn't quite understand the state of mind of the person in front of him, but the only thing he could confirm was that this person had no reverence for life and liked to play tricks.
"Who instructed you? Who were the people who saved you?" Kant continued to ask.
"A lot of people." Raphael replied: "I said that the situation on this island is very complicated. It is not possible to generalize."
"Then you at least know who their leader is?" Kant took a step in Raphael's direction.
Rafael looked at him warily, and replied: "We are just labor for errands, how could we know who the 'lord' is."
"Master?" Kant asked puzzled.
"The name of the leader. People who have contacts with me call him that." Rafael explained.
"Hmm." Kant stood there thinking for a while. Turning to the Elf King, he said, "Elf King, since these people have betrayed the Elven Kingdom, I think what they did has nothing to do with the Elf Kingdom. I will not intervene in how you want to deal with them. It's just whether you can How many days will you lend me this person?"
Saying this, Kant grabbed Raphael's collar without changing his expression.
Raphael was brought to his side by Condela, but kept his head down, without trying to make any resistance.
"Yes." After a long silence, the Elf King nodded and said, "However, I hope you can bring him back to the Elven Kingdom. After all, even if he dies, he is still part of the Elven Kingdom."
"Okay." Kant promised softly.
After that, Kant asked Raphael to follow him and walked out of the gate of the palace.
"You are very useful now, so I didn't kill you." In the corner without lights, Kant's voice became very different from when he was in the hall. If Raphael was not standing behind him, but standing Words in front of Kant. He estimated that he could see Kant's gritted teeth and tear-filled facial expressions at the moment.
Raphael felt cold all over his body. Cold sweat dripped from the clenched fist.
In the hall before, when Kant grabbed him, he noticed that Kant's whole body was shaking.
I don't know how angry or sad it is to make a person tremble like that.
At that moment, raging guilt surged towards Raphael. Let his whole heart have fallen into the abyss.
"But you have to cherish this opportunity." Kant exhaled and continued: "Otherwise, you will die in a way that is a thousand times more painful than those sacrificed Calradian soldiers."
"...Yes." Raphael replied.
Kant didn't say another word to him, and walked straight towards the barracks.
Bundak had been waiting at the gate of the barracks for a long time. After seeing Kant's figure, he quickened his pace and went up to him.
"Your Highness, why did you come back so early. Who is this behind you?" Bandak asked curiously.
"DeWitt and his gang were murdered by him and his men." Kant replied, "I asked him to come and help me find the chief envoy. Tomorrow we have to go to Cumberland."
After listening to the first half of the sentence, Bandak paused for a moment. He turned his surprised eyes to Raphael who was walking behind him.
After taking a deep breath, Bandak confirmed to Kant: "Your Highness, Your Highness, what did you say? You said that our people were murdered by elves?"
"They betrayed the kingdom of elves and followed the forces on the island. In fact, they are no longer from the kingdom of elves." Kant glanced at Raphael and stated: "They used the bombs provided by the people on the island to blow up the over that ship."
"You..." Bandak turned around, threw Raphael to the ground, and hit his body with punches.
The fist led by the President of Calradia soldiers, the physique of an ordinary person cannot withstand a few punches at all.
Raphael was unable to fight back, and was beaten until he vomited blood.
"Stop beating. You beat him to a disability. When we are on our way tomorrow, don't we have to let our people bear it for him." Kant watched for a while, and then said.
"Bah." Bandak spit on the ground, stood up, and said to Kant, "Why keep him. We can investigate the mastermind behind this. Don't talk about carrying him away, I can't even look at it." Don't want to see him."
"This investigation is probably not going to be that simple. The power on the island is complicated. Without internal support, we can't deal with those ruthless people." Kant shook his head and said.
"Just use this kid to pry out the news that he deserves, and then kill him and leave him in the wilderness." Bandak still looked very puzzled after beating Raphael.
"Take him to the medical station." Kant glanced at Raphael who was lying on the ground, and ordered.
Then he turned and left.
The moon was high, and Kant dreamed of the steamboat burning in flames tonight.
The next morning, Kant got up early and took his entourage to Cumberland.
"We need to increase the scope of salvage, if our manpower is not enough. It is also okay to apply for support from the Elf Kingdom." Kant ordered the Minister of Cumberland.
"Yes, lord." The minister accepted the order.
Kant and Bandak boarded a fishing boat and went to check the sea outside the port.
"It is said that the ocean currents have risen in recent days. All the fish in the sea gather here." Kant said in a low voice, looking at the unfathomable bottom.
"I interrogated Raphael last night, and I heard from him that the plan of the elves' soldiers was shattered by Devitt ahead of time. They originally planned to set fire when they were approaching Cumberland, but the result was unexpectedly ahead of schedule. One day." Abel rubbed his temples and said, "So when they reached the coast, they were already on the verge of exhaustion."
"But it just blinded everyone's sight." Kant said with a smile.
"I don't know if what he said is true or not." Bandak shook his head and said.
"It should be true." Kant looked into the distance and said, "Although Raphael likes to play tricks, he is not bad at heart, as you can see from the way he wavered throughout the whole incident. It's just a clown on stage."
"But now his hands are covered with blood." Chief Bundak exhaled and said, "Who would like to watch such a circus? Even he himself wouldn't like it."
