Chapter 327: Dumplings
Saaya felt a chill as he saw how skilled Karoso was.
He sensed that Karoso was doing something very important, and he had no idea what it was!
Karoso knows a lot about the Corleone family’s sky mansion; it is impossible without inside information.
Since this is such a big operation, why did he still ask me to help with the strategic analysis? There should be better strategists prepared in advance.
Or does he not trust those people?
Saaya’s mind was a mess; he realized he was understanding his brother less and less.
Even though they had lived together for so many years, the Karoso in front of him felt very unfamiliar.
Not being able to understand someone can bring other feelings, such as… fear, fear of the unknown.
"Everyone, you are free now." Karoso unlocked all the doors, "You have been saved by Princess Aileen, and Young Master Saaya Colloa from the Kingdom of Persia, Canglang Province."
Saaya almost became angry again, but since he was tied to that princess, he said nothing.
Watching Aileen lead people out with Karoso helping her, it was clear they were on the same side.
Offending the Corleone family brought the friendship of the princess, so one must say, with loss comes gain.
"Your Highness? Did the Empire save us?"
"The country, the country has not abandoned us!"
"I knew the country would take action. Our country is the greatest, the Kingdom of Knights!"
"Right, how could the Kingdom of Knights abandon their own knights?"
The knights’ eyes sparkled with a strange light, and their loyalty to the Empire grew stronger.
Karoso walked in front of the High Elf, took out a key, and unlocked her handcuffs and shackles.
Because she was an elf, her treatment was better than others.
As he unlocked the cuffs, Karoso quietly said, "Merlin sent us to rescue you."
A light appeared in the elf’s eyes.
Lord Merlin, has Lord Merlin also come?
"She is fighting now; she was the one who bought the elf last time," Karoso whispered. "We need to run quickly and leave this estate; we will take care of the rest."
"Mm!" The elf nodded vigorously.
……
Aileen had led everyone out of the estate, killing countless dark-clad figures along the way.
However, even though they had temporarily reached outside the estate, their magic still had not recovered.
They all arrived by carriage and didn’t know how to leave this floating island.
The island is in the sky; they didn’t know which step to take to avoid falling from the sky.
Moreover, the floating island probably has many traps set up around it for defense.
"Your Highness, I think we are safe for now. We should just wait here," Marquess Breteuil said, letting out a sigh of relief after stepping out.
He glanced at the team that had followed, seeing that about sixty percent of their guards had died in battle.
Clearly, the people in black here were not to be underestimated.
These guards were carefully chosen, mostly of the fifth to seventh ranks, and none of the fifth-rank ones survived, while three of the sixth-rank ones were dead.
Only some powerful families and noblemen with real authority could afford seventh-rank guards, and even then, they were the cheapest soldiers.
"No way, we fought our way out, and we have surely offended them. If they win in the end, we might be silenced! Even worse, if Master Celica dies, we could be accused of being the murderers!" Aileen’s mind was very clear.
"Hmm…" Marquess Breteuil frowned slightly.
He really did not believe anyone would dare to kill the cardinal, unless this organization never wanted to show itself openly.
"Damn, who has the courage to attack the Corleone family at this time and even confront the Cardinal?" A count thought about the scene just now and felt scared; many nobles had died in the chaos.
"I don’t know; that organization must be very powerful and very secretive." Aileen looked around, "Even among the same level, there aren’t many who can face Master Celica, yet they managed to send out one."
"Whether they win in the end or the Corleone family wins, we are in danger."
"So what should we do now? We don’t even know how to get out of here," Marquess Breteuil said, raising his hands.
"Let’s capture some hidden guards around us; they must know how to get out!" Aileen suggested.
……
Celica brought two eighth-tier individuals, an eighth-tier knight named Peter, and an eighth-tier pastor named Sherry.
The two of them were sent to investigate the strange happenings at this countryside church but found nothing.
The bishop in the church was only a fourth-tier pastor, and the guards protecting the church were all knights of first to third tiers; only a fourth-tier was the captain of the knights.
There may be too many skilled people that confuse everyone; in fact, this level of professionalism is normal and most common.
The size of this church is also not large, making it suitable for a small town.
You could say that this church has no building violations at all, let alone other issues.
"Is there really a problem here?" Sherry looked doubtful. "Becoming the Lich King’s The Favored One here seems impossible…"
"Our sacred power feels perfectly smooth." Peter was also confused. "How are we supposed to check this…"
"The master has ordered us, so we must dig deep and find something." Sherry said helplessly. "Otherwise, the master might get angry…"
"Let’s think about the known information. That person prays to the goddess every night, so the statue of the goddess must be in his line of sight." Peter stroked his chin. "He wouldn’t dare get too close, or the knights would discover him."
"By the way, are there any special places nearby?" Sherry looked around. "Besides the forest, there’s just one village, and the only major road is the official path."
"No special places… Let’s find a suitable spot and see where is best for praying." Peter said.
Just then, someone suddenly fell from the sky not far away.
"What is that?" Sherry’s eyes widened.
It turned out that it was not just one person falling, but many people!
Some were wearing knight armor, some were wearing warrior armor, some were dressed in wizard robes, and many more wore noble clothing.
"Ah! My dress!"
The noble ladies and young women were all wearing dresses, and at that moment their hands were pressed down, leaving their backs exposed.
Some were fine with what they wore underneath, but some who wanted excitement weren’t wearing anything at all!
"Don’t look! If you keep looking, we will poke out your eyes!"
Sherry and Peter exchanged a glance and quickly ran toward that direction. So many people were falling down; what was happening?
In short, we can’t just stand by and watch them fall to their deaths!
