Chapter 40 Exposure
The night is dark and the wind is high.
In the woods outside Bailey City, Phyllia Oliver, a spy who was planted in Bailey City, supported the invisibility technique and rushed to the beach quickly.
Walking to the beach, Phili casts a spell, blesses himself with underwater breathing, and walks into the sea. Before long, he sees the White Dragon Lord at the bottom of the sea.
Amos looked at the swim-over family, and the magic power surged in his body.
Waterproof barrier!
A spherical force field pushed the sea water away, revealing the sea bed below. Some fish and shrimp were not taken away by the sea water, jumping around in the mud on the sea bed, splashing some mud.
"What happened, do you have to be so careful?"
The family contract can only convey simple messages. After Amos received the news that Phili had to be extremely careful, he chose a hidden way to meet at the bottom of the sea.
"Master, I'm targeted!"
Amos frowned and waited for the following words of his family.
Swimming is a physical job, Phiglia took a breath and continued.
"Last time, I bought a large number of weapons and customized special items, which were discovered by those who were interested. Now, Count Dumbledore has noticed me."
Count Dumbledore was the lord of Bailey City. His ancestors made great contributions at the beginning of the founding of the Kingdom of Loway and were named Earl. It has been passed down to this day for more than ten generations. His family ruled the land of 10,000 square kilometers around Bailey City and was the common lord of the three viscounts and eight barons of Bailey City.
Being targeted by a powerful earl is also a problem for Amos.
"Has it been discovered?"
"Not yet. I did something very secretly last time. I didn't come forward in person. My tail has been dealt with completely. Lord Earl has no evidence, and his suspicion is not just me."
"Oh? There are other people, forget it, it doesn't matter."
Amos pondered for a moment.
"Since you have been targeted by the count, then let's not forget about this mission. Be careful. I don't want to hear that you were hanged."
"Yes! Master!"
Phili breathed a sigh of relief. What she was most worried about was that Amos forced herself to complete the task regardless of her safety.
"Well, if you are discovered, take the scales I gave you, along the coast, and flee to the first cliff upstream, where there is an abandoned cave below, where you can ask for help from fishmen."
Amos glanced at Phili. This family member had good abilities and had done a lot of things for himself. He took out a magic scroll.
"You hold this scroll."
"Thank you, Master!"
Philiya never expected that not only did she not be forced to perform tasks, but she gained benefits from Amos. She felt that her master was very different from ordinary white dragons.
"That's it, be careful when you go back."
"Sir, say goodbye."
The waterproof barrier was lifted, and the seawater filled the seabed space again, and the stranded fish and shrimps were finally able to breathe freely.
Looking at the fish and shrimps that were quickly escaping from here, Amos said to himself in displeasure: "I'll be slaughtered by that greedy guy again."
As a man who has experienced a big explosion of knowledge, Amos naturally understands the reason why eggs cannot be placed in the same basket.
Therefore, in addition to the line of Phili, the White Dragon Lord also established other channels through the fishman, including pirates and black market merchants.
As long as there is enough profit, these greedy villains dare to do business with the demons.
But, is this transaction price? It is often more than half higher than buying through normal channels.
Amos scrubbed his chin with dragon claws.
"I have to think of a way, otherwise it's not a way to be slaughtered all the time."
After a long time, Amos had an idea. It swung its dragon tail and swam towards the abandoned dragon nest. The abandoned dragon nest was one of the fixed strongholds for Amos to deal with black market merchants.
...
On the shore, in the woods.
In a good mood, Philiya drank her hair, changed into a wet dress, looked around carefully, and after confirming that there was no one, she blessed the invisibility technique and walked towards Bailey City.
But she didn't know that in the dense branches and leaves of a big tree, a thief in black had seen all her secrets.
...
The next morning.
In the Earl Dumbledore Castle Bookstore, a small amount of smoke wafted out of the exquisite hollow incense burner, and the room was filled with incense. Earl Dumbledore sat on a gorgeous large pear-wood carved chair, listening to the report of his subordinates, a young man holding a white cat stood aside, listening absent-mindedly.
"Do you know what she's going to the sea?"
"Sir Earl, my subordinates don't have props for underwater breathing, and they are worried about being discovered, so..."
Earl Dumbledore looked like a middle-aged man. He was wearing a noble dress, his clothes were not wrinkled at all, he had a beard, his beard was covered with essential oil, and his face was invincible without anger. He nodded slightly.
"Okay, you go down."
"I'm leaving!"
The horse-faced thief was like being pardoned. He quickly walked out the door, closed the door, and walked all the way to the yard.
He stood in the yard and wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve.
Although this was not the first time he had a conversation with the Count, Count Dumbledore still put a lot of pressure on him. It was not that the Count did this on purpose, but that he had been in a high position for a long time and his majesty made everyone who approached him feel pressured.
Count Dumbledore crossed his fingers and leaned against the backrest of the chair.
"Bruce, what do you think about this?"
The young man used his fair palms to touch the cat's tail. The white cat in his arms raised his head and squinted his eyes comfortably.
He replied casually: "Obviously, this Phili has a problem. Although he doesn't know who she is dealing with, he is definitely a shameful existence."
"Combined with the news of the large goose-twin bed last customized, this existence is a smart creature, and it is not small in size, so it is very likely to live on the island."
Phyllia still underestimated the Count's powerful intelligence network and thought that his own secret behavior had been known.
The young man pondered for a moment and continued to analyze: "There are only a few creatures with this size and hiding on the island that cannot be shy, such as: evil dragons, sea giants and some huge extraordinary creatures."
"So, what do you think is that?"
The young man thought, his brows frowned into the character Sichuan.
"I can't guess it, but my strength will not be too strong, and I will not surpass the legend. Otherwise, it will not have to hide or hide, nor will it be too low. Phili is still an intermediate mage after all."
Count Dumbledore nodded.
"Indeed, there is too little intelligence."
The Count changed his voice: "However, I just got the news last night that in addition to Renault, Filia also had a share in the weapons procurement incident, but she did it more secretly."
The bulk weapon transactions, no matter where they are, will attract the attention of the rulers. After all, no one wants to suddenly see a group of thugs raise their flags to rebel.
"So, this at least proves that the two of them are not in the same group, otherwise there is no need for two people to do the same thing."
The young man was intrigued and continued to speak, "The only one who can conquer his family is the giant dragon. Moreover, this giant dragon is very intelligent and knows how to arm his family."
"Among the five-colored evil dragons that cannot be seen, the green dragon lives in the rain forest, the blue dragon does not like the wet environment, the red dragon hates water, and is proud of its tail up to the sky, and will not meet people secretly at the bottom of the sea."
"Then only the black dragon and the white dragon are left!"
"But I don't think that a brainless idiot like White Dragon would have such wisdom, so it's very likely that it's a black dragon!"
I have to say that Bruce's analysis makes sense, but Amos is a white dragon beyond common sense.
The Count clapped his hands with satisfaction and looked at his outstanding son with admiration.
"Excellent inference! So, what do you think we should do to get it out?"
"As the lazy nature of the five-colored dragon, he will not go out without any trouble, so Phili must take action next. We only need to send someone to keep an eye on her. At that time, the stolen person will be captured. After all, we cannot put a viscount heir in prison without evidence."
"Then,……."
Count Dumbledore was very satisfied with the heir's answer.
"Just do what you said."
If Amos knew that the count's heir, Bruce, could almost accurately infer his identity through some details, and would definitely scream and give him a breath of dragon breath while screaming.
