One Piece's Life

Chapter 723 Preparations for the Ceremony

Outside the conference hall, many people heard strange noises, but when they raised their heads, there was nothing unusual on the ceiling. "It's strange, it was definitely not an illusion just now. Could it be that the lightning was sucked away by those strange towers again?"

Seeing Rebecca still staring at the ceiling, Alberta, who was drinking a small drink, said slightly, "Maybe, but even if lightning does fall, it will be fine. After all, this house is made of rare stones, and lightning can't strike it at all." bad."

"As for the noises coming from the door just now, they were probably just saying hello, so don't be too surprised."

Hearing this, Rebecca immediately turned to look at Alberta, "That's it, uncle, you know how to talk so much. By the way, uncle, where are you from and how could you come to a place like this? Do you want to come to the festival too?" "

Just a casual question almost made Alberta lose her power. This little girl is weird. Just by looking at her, I felt that I had to answer her truthfully. Isn’t she a person with abilities? She doesn’t look like it.

"No, I don't know much, it's just common sense. How could you not know? As for your other question, why bother asking? Don't you all come here to see how lively the festival is on the day it is held?"

"Hey little girl, your face looks very bad. What's wrong? You seem to be the first to come. Could it be that you feel bored after waiting for a long time?"

"No, I just wanted to go out for a walk. I finally got to the royal city, but I can't play outside. I'm an uncle. You should understand this feeling."

"Of course I understand. When I was your age, I often had this thought, but as long as we are still alive, it is difficult to have freedom."

"Freedom is something that is hard to come by, and many people spend their whole lives never having it, so don't worry too much about it. It's just a matter of waiting a little longer. After the people inside finish the meeting, maybe you can have something to play with. I have a little girl, my name is Alberta, what about you?”

"Just call me Rebecca, uncle, which master are you following?"

Because she was very interested in Rebecca, Alberta responded with a smile, "I am Rebecca who followed Mr. Griffin. I see that you have been eating. I haven't eaten this plate of pastries yet. You might as well try it." .”

"No, I'm not hungry. I just feel bored if I don't do anything. Uncle, I'm a little sleepy. If someone comes later, remember to wake me up."

"Just lie down like this and sleep well."

The other little followers, Alberta, have some impressions, but Rebecca is too mysterious. She has a dangerous aura that I have smelled before. Where does it come from?

In the conference hall, as Harun asked, Leon suddenly became the center of attention. "I'm sorry, Lord Harun, I have been concentrating on my practice and I couldn't come to the royal city to see you. I still hope."

"They all call me lord, why do you call me lord?" "That's wrong, lord, I hope you won't blame me."

Harlan's dress was a bit fancy. In Leon's opinion, he shouldn't care about such trivial matters. The fact was as he expected. Harlan didn't blame him. "How can I blame you? If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid... Being teased by everyone here, it seems that you are quite motivated."

"Muse, I'm here, why don't you respond at all?"

Muse has never been big or small. If Badr hadn't used the cold energy, she would have really not wanted to talk to Harlan. "I'm sorry, lord, I didn't sleep well last night. If you don't mind if I take a nap a little longer."

Her reaction made Badr very unhappy. "Muse, pay attention to your attitude."

The two of them didn't like each other. Balder had a temper, and Muse said, "Don't mind my business. It's better to mind your own business. I'm not here to quarrel. I'm sorry, lord, you just shouted." Do I have something to do? Isn’t it lunch time?"

The atmosphere became very depressing. Seeing Muse closing her eyes, Masaka, whose mouth was sewn shut, made a ventral sound, "Badr, don't be so serious. Muse has always been like this. It's not like you don't know. Lord, what's next Gaylord and I will co-chair the meeting."

Harlan had no objection, "Okay, it's all the things I've been talking about over the years, so I can leave it to you."

I just heard Gaylord say calmly, "Before the meeting officially starts, I want to explain a few things to you. You guys should take a look first. If you have any ideas, just say them directly."

In the blink of an eye, a report was placed in front of everyone's desk. In fact, it didn't contain much content. It was just the actual situation on the island. "In the past three years, there have been many security incidents on Thor Island. I think some of them must be... I will not hold you accountable for what you did in the past. I emphasize again that you are not allowed to destroy the balance of the island, whether it is the environment or the people, do you understand?"

"Haiyan, some time ago, there was a riot in your place. Remember not to let this happen again. Remember, we have the ability to destroy the indigenous people on this island, but if we do, there will be a lot of trouble. ,you"

"I will pay attention, don't make trouble about this matter again"

Seeing that Haiyan showed no sign of remorse, Gaylord was very unhappy and said, "Forget it, I will talk to someone about this in private. Masaka, I'll leave it up to you to discuss matters related to the festival."

"Hmph, hey, I believe you all understand the meaning of holding festivals, so I won't say more. It's just that this time is a little different from the past. I searched the whole island, but I couldn't find those kinds of festivals. Product, I really can’t figure it out.”

Because of his addiction to alcohol, Harun, who was sitting at the main seat, wanted to pick up the wine glass, but after hearing these words, he held back and said, "Oh, what Masaka is missing? Please speak more clearly."

This matter is very important. I heard Masaka muttered: "There are still three missing sacrifices. Let's not mention the ones that have been collected. But those three things seem to come from overseas. It's already this time. If you want to find them, I'm afraid."

"Purple hearts, crimson flowers, and black soles, these are the three things. There have never been crimson flowers on Thunder God Island. As for the flowers shipped from the Kingdom of Flowers, I tried them, but they didn't work."

"If these three things cannot be gathered together, it may be difficult for the festival to end smoothly, or it may be postponed for a while."

If it is possible, Harlan certainly thought, but even he, a powerful lord, is in trouble sometimes. "Hey, those undead are really picky. Last time they were all organs of Warcraft. This time, why are they asking for such weird things?" thing"

"Purple heart and black paws, we are not corpse collectors. No matter where we look, it is not impossible to find Masaka. The sacrifices required for the festival must be on the island. As long as you search patiently, you will definitely find it."

"It's just that there are only two days left. It would be difficult for you to do it alone. Let's do this, Griffin and Haiyan, you two will help Masaka together. Time is running out, so the three of you will set off now."

With three people missing, the round table was suddenly a little empty. Seeing that Leon was still immersed in the documents, Harlan said, "Don't worry, the sacrifices will definitely be collected before the official start. Let's talk about something related to you."

"Leon, even though you are a newcomer, there is no need for you to be too nervous. In fact, it doesn't matter. When the time comes, all you have to do is go on stage. It is my personal opinion to let the people on the island see your style. I hope you can cooperate and wait, I think"

At some point, Quincy appeared in the conference hall. Seeing him taking the initiative to show up, Harlan greeted, "Quincy, I was about to talk to you, and you came. It seems that you really want to see them. Uh, what are you still doing standing there? Come over."

As soon as Quincy arrived, one person's mood fluctuated greatly. He was not Muscat, let alone Baldur or Muse, but the most low-key man in a black cloak. Although he deliberately controlled it, he was still seen by someone who was interested.

Quincy noticed him, and after a few evil laughs, he slowly walked up to Harlan, "Haha, I haven't seen you for so many years. It's really interesting that you are still as beautiful as you were back then. Oh, the little girls back then were so beautiful."

Muse was very angry, "It turns out that Master Quincy is here. In fact, I already knew you were coming, but why do you always avoid me, Master Quincy? When you left without saying goodbye, you made me sad for a long time. Do you know?"

Bader was not interested in listening to her gossip, so he interrupted, "Muse, you want to catch up with Lord Quincy. There will be plenty of time in the future, so let Lord Quincy finish talking about the business first."

Seeing Badr's serious look, Quincy shook his head and replied, "No business, I just want to say hello to you. Don't pay too much attention to me. Hey Harlan, what makes you so happy?"

"Of course I have to be happy to be happy, Quincy. I thought the plan you told me about last night was very interesting. You might as well tell them about it."

"Plan, that's what you're talking about, okay, but why didn't that lonely boy arrive?"

Regarding this matter, it was Gaylord's negligence, so he said seriously, "I'm sorry, Lord Quincy, Tempest has something important to do and can't come. I'm really sorry."

"That's it, forget it. Anyway, you are here, what's the problem? Gaylord, don't stand around all the time. There are plenty of empty seats. Sit down quickly."

While preparations for the festival were in full swing, in Thunder Leopard City, far away from the Royal City, the descendants of the Angel Island prisoners of war were ready. As soon as the mobilization in front of the station was completed, they would rush out of the big iron gate with weapons and luggage.

"Listen up, everyone, the Thunder Festival will be held as scheduled at nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, and we will launch operations at twelve o'clock tomorrow noon. However, it is difficult to break through the first obstacle in front of us, and there will definitely be casualties. It is best to all A little bit mentally prepared”

"If we can't even get out of Thunder Leopard City, then we have only one fate. Even if I succeed in taking you out, I'm afraid the casualties will be heavy. I ask you if you dare to die with me."

"Master Gaoli, if you are here, even if we can't get out of the island alive, we will do our best to escort you away."

"Well, that's what you all think. Let's go ahead and ask everyone to start packing their luggage in two hours. If we can escape smoothly, then we will go to Port Essite."
