My queen is rebelling!

Cohen did not set off immediately. He was waiting for an assistant—a high-level Legendary expert borrowed from Isabella, his old friend Mr. Modo.

While waiting for Mr. Modo, Cohen used the information left by Gillivus to gain a general understanding of the core leaders of the Crimson Raiders.

Gillivus had always been a hands-off leader in the pirate group, rarely communicating with outsiders, and always appearing in the image of a demon mask. Cohen was confident that there would be no flaws in disguising himself as him.

He was thinking about how to take over the entire pirate group at the lowest cost.

According to Gillivus, the entire pirate group was still led by Captain Flint Blacktooth. As long as he could subdue him, he could completely control the entire pirate group.

It's no wonder Gillivus didn't have much confidence in Cohen. It was indeed quite tricky to do this.

Not to mention Flint's huge power, his personal strength alone was already a genuine Legendary extraordinary. Even if he relied on Mr. Modo's force to suppress him, what he would get was a split Crimson Raiders, which was not in line with Cohen's interests.

What Cohen wanted was a complete and powerful Crimson Raiders.

Apart from forced coercion, the best way to subdue a powerful extraordinary was to find his weaknesses and needs.

However, Gillivus didn't know much about Flint either.

Flint's personality, hobbies, interests, and past experiences had always been a mystery.

The first thing Cohen had to do was to investigate Flint's past in detail.

Cohen thought to himself, the outside world rumored that he was the son of prophecy. This time, he was probably really going to make a trip to the Church of Prophecy.

The Church of Prophecy was the most accurate in peeking into a person's past and future.

Just as Cohen was racking his brains to think of a solution, Mr. Modo arrived as scheduled.

To Cohen's surprise, Mr. Modo didn't come alone. He was accompanied by a hundred Goldwing Guards with "Elite" combat power.

Needless to say, this was another kind gesture from Isabella.

"Miss instructed that if His Majesty Corleone's first question upon seeing me was not about her recent situation, I should immediately turn around and take the people back."

Cohen showed an embarrassed expression.

Mr. Modo paused and said:

"Miss has arrived in the Western Region Empire and is negotiating with Emperor Monroe. The progress is very optimistic. It is estimated that it will not be long before the two parties can reach a consensus."

Cohen felt excited. With the cooperation of the Western Region Empire, the development of the dwarves could also be put on the agenda.

In the future changes in the continent, the dwarves who master the magic weapon forging technology were definitely the most important arm.

After a brief exchange, Mr. Modo asked about the business:

"I heard that Your Majesty is going to disguise himself as the leader of a pirate group this time, and even wants to unify the pirate forces in the Ceylon Kingdom's offshore area?"

Cohen briefly informed Mr. Modo about the situation of the Crimson Raiders, of course, hiding the true identity of Gillivus.

Mr. Modo heard this, fell into deep thought, and then said:

"I roughly understand Your Majesty's plan. You want to put pressure on the Ceylon Kingdom by controlling all the pirate forces in the Ceylon Kingdom's offshore area, and then use another identity to enter the Ceylon Kingdom's sphere of influence in a legitimate way?"

Cohen nodded and said:

"That's right, this is my preliminary plan."

Mr. Modo quickly pointed out the key to the problem:

"Flint Blacktooth, this person should be the biggest obstacle for Your Majesty to completely control the Crimson Raiders, right?"

Cohen replied:

"Yes, Flint is the previous leader of the Crimson Raiders, and also a Legendary powerhouse. He has countless warships and pirates under his command. To completely control the Crimson Raiders, he is a target that must be subdued.

I have been studying this person recently. If I can deeply understand this person's past experience, maybe I can find a way to deal with him."

After listening to Cohen's words, Mr. Modo's eyebrows showed a look of contemplation, and he slowly said:

"Speaking of which, I have also dealt with this Flint Blacktooth."

Cohen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly asked:

"What kind of dealings?

Good or bad?"

Mr. Modo thought for a moment and then said:

"A few years ago, the Crimson Raiders once attacked our Pale Wings' merchant ship.

If it were ordinary goods, it would be fine if they were robbed. Major merchant houses have considered the losses from pirate robbery when shipping goods in the high seas.

No matter how powerful the Pale Wings are, it is impossible to eliminate all pirates' coveting. As long as they don't go too far, just rob some money and don't hurt people's lives, it is still within control.

The Pale Wings are a big family and don't care about these.

But this time, there were several goods customized by the Northern Region Empire's royal family on the robbed merchant ship.

The emperor of the Northern Region Empire personally put pressure on them, and the Pale Wings decided to pursue the matter to the end.

Because the Northwest Continent is our Goldwing family's sphere of influence, we commissioned our Goldwing family to be fully responsible for negotiating with the Crimson Raiders.

In order to deter the Crimson Raiders, the Goldwing family sent an elder and three inspectors to the Crimson Raiders'驻地.

I was one of the inspectors."

Cohen raised his eyebrows slightly. The elders of the Goldwing family were all Saint-level cultivators, and the inspectors were all Legendary extraordinaries like Mr. Modo.

A Saint and three Legendaries went to the Crimson Raiders together. It was more like intimidating them than negotiating.

Mr. Modo continued:

"At that time, Flint Blacktooth came forward from the Crimson Raiders' side. How should I put it... he didn't talk much, but he seemed to have a lot of prestige in the group, and he was quite sensible.

When we went, they had already prepared the robbed goods, and even tied up the pirates who did it and sent them to us.

His attitude was impeccable."

Cohen thought to himself, with a Saint and three Legendaries coming to the door, it would be difficult to have a bad attitude.

But it can also be seen from the side that Flint still had scruples, unlike some vicious pirates on the Endless Sea who didn't give anyone face.

Mr. Modo's words implied some appreciation for this Flint, and his tone became a lot more inexplicable. He continued:

"In fact, Flint and the others, as pirates, knew very well in their hearts whose goods could be touched and whose goods could not be touched.

Sometimes, attacking the goods of some big forces was not their intention.

Just like the robbery incident that time, their target was not the royal family's goods of the Northern Region Empire, but the goods of a great nobleman from the Ceylon Kingdom on the same merchant ship."

Cohen immediately understood and said:

"Mr. Modo means that Flint was set up?"

Mr. Modo's eyes flashed with appreciation and said:

"Your Majesty is wise, yes, the Crimson Raiders were indeed calculated that time.

More accurately, he was involved in the internal political struggle of the Ceylon Kingdom and was used as a pawn.

He was instructed by a big man in the Ceylon Kingdom to rob the goods belonging to that great nobleman in the Ceylon Kingdom.

That great nobleman obviously knew the other party's conspiracy in advance and deliberately arranged his goods with the goods of the royal family of the Northern Region Empire on the same merchant ship.

This caused the Crimson Raiders to suffer a secret loss.

Therefore, after we investigated the cause of the matter, we didn't make things difficult for him too much, and let him hand over the goods and pay some money to settle the matter."

Cohen had a plan in mind and asked:

"It seems that there is really a high-level background in the Ceylon Kingdom behind this Crimson Raiders.

Does Mr. Modo know which force in the Ceylon Kingdom it is?"

Mr. Modo shook his head and said:

"It could be a great nobleman in the country, the navy, the direct heir, or even the King of Ceylon himself. I can't analyze it for the time being.

However, we know the identity of the great nobleman who set up the Crimson Raiders, that is, the one who put his goods with the goods of the royal family of the Northern Region Empire.

He is the Chief Financial Officer of the Ceylon Kingdom's cabinet, Marquis Dorian Barrett."

Hearing this name, a look of sternness appeared on Cohen's face for a moment, and then he came back to his senses, concealed his emotions, and asked:

"I remember that this Marquis Dorian Barrett and Duke Gavin have a relationship of intermarriage for generations."

Mr. Modo was stunned for a moment and shook his head:

"I don't know about this. Your Majesty has a deep understanding of the internal affairs of the Ceylon Kingdom. You even know the intermarriage relationship between families so clearly?"

Cohen thought to himself, the Ceylon Kingdom is my next target, how can I not know?

He also learned about the relationship between Marquis Dorian Barrett and Duke Gavin when investigating the family relationship of Duke Gavin.

In other words, the force behind the Crimson Raiders is likely to be a common enemy of Marquis Barrett and Duke Gavin.

Could it be that third prince Saxon again?

Cohen shook his head. After completely controlling the Crimson Raiders, everything will have an answer.

He restrained the guesses in his heart and asked:

"Mr. Modo, I have an opportunity to enter the Crimson Raiders, but I need you to cooperate."

Mr. Modo said:

"Your Majesty, please speak. The master and miss have instructed me to cooperate with all your actions."

Cohen's heart moved slightly. He didn't expect that his cheap father-in-law also knew about this, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

His matter with Isabella has not been officially settled yet, so it is always a little unpleasant to use the manpower of his wife's family so blatantly.

He coughed lightly, restrained his complicated emotions, and handed Mr. Modo a sea area map, saying:

"This is the sea area range where a pirate captain named 'Blackbeard' under Flint usually operates.

You send two merchant ships for them to rob, and then I will use this as an excuse to let Flint come and meet us."

Mr. Modo's eyes showed astonishment, and he quickly thought of something and asked:

"You're not going to use the trick you used in the Silver Frost Principality to deal with Perez, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, right?

I declare in advance that I am not sure to subdue a Legendary extraordinary without alarming outsiders."

“Even that Fear Demon Akdimon under your command probably can't invade the souls of legendary powerhouses, right?”

Cohen shook his head and said:

“Mr. Modo, you've misunderstood. Having you do this is just to create an opportunity for Flint to take the initiative to see me.

It also rationalizes your appearance, making him lower his guard.

Otherwise, a legendary transcendent from the Pale Wings appearing together with the Scarlet Plunderer's leader, who never asks about worldly affairs, would easily arouse the vigilance and wariness of various factions within the group.”

Mr. Modo suddenly understood and said:

“Then I'll arrange it now. It'll probably take two or three days.”

Cohen said:

“That's good. I also need to take some time to learn about the past of this Flint Blacktooth.

Mr. Modo, I need you to provide me with the identity of a 'Pale Wings' high-level personnel.”

Mr. Modo didn't ask what Cohen specifically wanted this identity for, and directly took out a personnel file:

“Then you can use the identity of the Deputy Inspector of the Northwest Region of the Pale Wings. I'll also report it to the master to avoid anyone verifying it.”

“Okay.”

… …

In a deep valley in the Southern Territory, a towering spire pierces through the clouds, as if reaching the sky.

A huge crystal is embedded at the top of the tower, absorbing energy from the stars every moment.

The latest novels are first published on 6 9 Shuba!

Whenever night falls, the crystal emits a soft blue light, illuminating the entire valley, like the whispers of gods echoing in the darkness.

Countries and forces on the human continent have their own preferences and rejections of gods of different camps due to historical, religious, cultural, political, racial, and other factors.

But there is only one god who is extremely welcomed by all races and countries on the continent, and his church is all over the continent.

This god is Madora the Prophet, the God of Prophecy.

The pursuit of the unknown and the exploration of the past have made the Church of Prophecy the most popular church.

Similarly, it is also the church with the highest threshold.

To enter the Church of Prophecy to seek divination, you must have a noble to guarantee it.

Cohen raised his head, looked at the spire, and a trace of caution appeared in his eyes.

The outside world always rumored that he was the Son of Prophecy, and he didn't believe that the Church of Prophecy had no doubts at all.

But this so-called Church of Prophecy has never contacted him once. Is it because they are sure he is not, or for some other reason?

Cohen didn't know, but this time he was going to take the initiative to visit.

The Effie Southern Territory Branch of the Church of Prophecy, the gate is tightly closed, and intricate star patterns are carved on the surface. Two huge statues stand on both sides.

Getting a little closer, you can feel the majestic magical aura on it.

Cohen, wearing a mask and a hooded black robe, came to the bronze gate, knocked three times gently, and then whispered to the two statues:

“In the name of the Morning Star, seek the mystery of the unknown.”

As soon as the voice fell, the star patterns entangled on the door frame suddenly came alive, outlining the pattern of a double-tailed comet in the center of the gate. Starlight flowed on it, gradually converging into a star swirl.

A mechanical voice sounded from the statue:

“Identity?”

Cohen took out the file provided by Mr. Modo and placed it on the star swirl. The starlight flowed through, and the file disappeared.

After waiting for a while, the file reappeared, the door slowly opened, and the voice became much more lively:

“Distinguished guest of the Pale Wings, please come in. Bishop Mars is waiting for you in the main hall.”

Cohen put away the file and stepped into the sanctuary of the Church of Prophecy.

The moment the bronze door closed behind him, all the worldly hustle and bustle seemed to be isolated.

The dome in the sanctuary hall is like an inverted starry sky, and underfoot is a corridor paved with crystals, with star map veins connecting to different locations.

There are many people in the hall, but it is unusually quiet, and everyone deliberately lowers their footsteps.

Most people also concealed their true appearance and did not want outsiders to know that they had divination at the Church of Prophecy.

Cohen stepped into the sanctuary, and the air was filled with a faint scent of incense, mixed with the breath of ancient parchment.

Without waiting too long, a church member wearing a silver mask came to Cohen and bowed:

“Distinguished guest of the Pale Wings, please follow me.”

Cohen quickly followed the church member to a secret room. A huge astrolabe was suspended in the center of the secret room, and Archbishop Mars's voice came from behind the astrolabe:

“Distinguished guest of the Pale Wings, what can I answer for you?”

Cohen looked at the rolling and changing star map on the astrolabe and said in a deep voice:

“Divinate the past of a person for me.”

“Please speak.”

“Bishop Mars, the person I want to divinate is a legendary transcendent.”

Bishop Mars was stunned and said:

“Legendary transcendent?

I'm sorry, my ability cannot divinate the past of a legendary transcendent.”

Cohen's voice was very calm, and he was not surprised by this:

“I know, contact your Cardinal, Saint Haywood.”

Mars's voice changed and said:

“Sir, the Saint is generally not to be disturbed casually.

And he doesn't accept prophecy commissions.”

Cohen's lips moved slightly, and the voice was very small, but it sounded like thunder in Archbishop Mars's ears:

“The precise coordinates of two star marrow cores, in exchange for Saint Haywood to take action once.

This deal should be very worthwhile, right?”

Star marrow cores are special star fragments that have fallen into the material world of the main plane, and their cores are condensed with star marrow.

This thing is useless to others, but it is of vital importance to the church members of the Church of Prophecy.

Before becoming a legendary transcendent, the church members of the Church of Prophecy need to perform divination and prediction by observing the star map. Their divination and prediction process is also the process of cultivation.

Observing the star map for a long time will leave constellation scars on the pupils, that is, star eclipse.

As the observation time and frequency deepen, these scars will become more and more serious until the pupils are completely burned dry.

The star marrow is the best medicine to resist "star eclipse".

The star marrow produced by a star marrow core can help a thousand [Prophets] cultivate to the gold level without being disturbed by "star eclipse", so the importance of the star marrow core to the Church of Prophecy is self-evident.

However, the fall of stars is irregular and without warning. Even the peak saint of the Church of Prophecy needs to pay a great price to predict the fall of a star and accurately find a star marrow core from countless star fragments. Basically, it is a loss outweighing the gain.

This is why Bishop Mars was horrified when he heard that Cohen could provide the precise coordinates of two star marrow cores.

If the other party's identity was not noble enough, he would really think that the other party was deliberately teasing him.

Mars stood up and came to Cohen. As a legendary transcendent, he found that he could not see through the other party's true cultivation.

He stood there and pondered for a long time, feeling that he could not let go of this opportunity.

Because the job requirements of [Prophet] are extremely harsh, there are not many believers in the Church of Prophecy, and most of them give up their jobs because of the influence of "star eclipse" before they can grow up.

Two star marrow cores represent that two thousand [Prophets] can be cultivated without any risk, which is too important for the church. If he is not lying, then he is indeed qualified to let the Saint divinate for him once.

Mars quickly made a decision. He took out his staff, tapped the ground lightly, and a hourglass rose from the center of the secret room's astrolabe, and then his lips moved slightly, making ancient syllables, and the hourglass began to drip down.

Before long, a light and shadow appeared on the hourglass.

Mars saluted the light and shadow respectfully, and then quickly reported the situation on the scene to the other party.

The light and shadow turned its head, unable to see its face clearly. It stared at Cohen's dress for a while, and its voice was clear and powerful:

“The information is correct, but I have met the high-level members of the Pale Wings in the Northwest Continent, and I don't seem to have you.”

Cohen's expression did not change, and he said calmly:

“I am the special inspector of the Golden Wing Family, Saint Haywood. If you are not at ease, you can ask Patriarch Aziz Winser for verification.”

The light and shadow were stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised that Cohen directly mentioned the patriarch of the Golden Wing Family.

Then he disappeared in place, apparently to contact Cohen's cheap father-in-law.

Aziz Winser was also very surprised when he received a message from Saint Haywood, the Cardinal Archbishop of the Church of Prophecy.

He was even more speechless when he learned the other party's intention.

What is this bastard son-in-law of his doing again? How did he attract the Saint of the Church of Prophecy to verify his identity?

This kid is really capable of causing trouble. He is not even a gold level, and he provokes saints and legends all day long.

Although Aziz cursed Cohen all over in his heart, he still rounded out the lie for him and hinted to Saint Haywood in his words that this person was very important to him.

With the affirmation of the patriarch of the Golden Wing Family, Saint Haywood dispelled the doubts in his heart.

Cohen looked at the reappearing light and shadow, his expression still calm.

Saint Haywood slowly said:

“No matter what your relationship with Mr. Winser is, I have to follow the rules. I must verify that you are not lying.”

It is difficult to predict the coordinates of the star marrow core from countless star fragments, but with the accurate coordinates, even an ordinary church member of Prophecy can easily determine whether there is a star marrow core there.

Cohen nodded, and then reported a space coordinate.

He was not worried that the other party would go back on his word. Saint Haywood was not stupid enough to offend the patriarch of the Golden Wing Family for the sake of a mere star marrow core.

Almost instantly, Saint Haywood judged the authenticity of the coordinates.

Far away, tens of thousands of miles away, in the same secret room, in the same hourglass, a playful look appeared on Saint Haywood's face.

Interesting little guy, the coordinates are actually real. Did he discover it by chance, or does he have some special method?

It's a pity that this kid seems to have some relationship with Aziz, otherwise I would really like to have a good talk with him!
