The mysterious journey begins with becoming a pirate

After Count Otto finished, he looked at the sky outside the window and continued: "We had a great time chatting today. It's getting late. We'll have dinner tonight before leaving."

"Of course. That's what I'm here for." Alok said excitedly.

The frank and self-deprecating words made Count Otto and Professor Palmer laugh, and they fell in love with Alok even more.

He gently pressed the bell on the coffee table, called the attendant outside the door, and ordered:

"Go get Lorna down and prepare dinner."

The attendant nodded and left without saying a word.

Pretty standard etiquette.

Not long after, a pair of good sisters walked downstairs at the same time with mysterious smiles on their faces that made people scratch their heads.

"It looks like you had a good chat." Count Otto stood up and asked with a smile.

Lorna and El looked at each other, showed a meek smile, and replied:

"Of course, El and I had an in-depth discussion on painting. She also gave me a precious oil painting called "Witch Manor"."

"Witch Manor"? Isn't this the painting by Il? Did you give it to Lorna? Or is this an entrance and exit?

It looks like it was a success. That's good.

Alok thought to himself.

"Oh? Then thank you Miss Phasma. I didn't expect that Miss Phasma has such a deep understanding of painting? It seems that I have to go and observe it if I have a chance." Count Otto asked unexpectedly.

"This is nothing. I learned from an elf artist. Oil paintings are also borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha." El said modestly.

Indeed, El was right. The painting was painted by Ariel. Artistic attainments? ? What is artistic attainment? El probably doesn't understand at all.

Count Otto did not believe in Il's modesty. Like Elok, Phasma's family has always been humble.

He laughed twice and invited the two guests to the restaurant for a sumptuous dinner.

El and Alok readily agreed.

At the dinner table, brother Otto and the Elok brothers kept chatting about home affairs, and Professor Palmer would also ask them about their current situation with Richie.

Alok didn't know what his father Richie was doing recently, but he only knew that he was probably doing pretty well, so he could only shrug and say that he didn't know.

It was not until Yan Xiao Yanyan's dinner was about to end that Count Otto suddenly said:

"By the way, there will be a grand dinner held in the palace on December 31, 1984. I wonder if you are interested in attending. I can take you there then."

"The Temple Pope and Emperor Kafka XI will be present. I will report to the Emperor that I have found traces of Captain Jack Sparrow."

Airok raised his eyebrows, not knowing what Count Otto meant. ,

Is it simply a wish to be together, or does it contain some deep meaning.

He thought for a moment and then asked:

"Will all the reputable people in the country attend?"

"Of course. Anyone who is somewhat famous will attend." Count Otto replied with a smile.

"Hmm~Ken Bock will also show up?" Alok continued to ask.

"Of course." Count Otto replied.

Ken Bock will show up. If he showed up at the dinner party, he probably wouldn't be able to hide the past no matter how much he disguised himself. He was exposed in advance.

Unless there's something to be done at the dinner party.

Like exposing Ken Bock's identity as a traitor.

And the Pope will be there and just kill him.

However, the risks of doing so are somewhat high. And there is a high chance it will fail.

Ken Bock is a temple man himself. I just don't believe the temple wouldn't vet him. He must have a way to hide the past. Otherwise, it would be impossible to still be alive and kicking now.

If he rashly points out that he is a traitor, there is a high probability that it will not be Ken Bock who will be killed, but himself.

A smart guy like Ken Bock would probably be somewhat prepared for something like this.

Coupled with these unspoken rules of the Hutt Empire, there are various disappointing practices.

Even if Ken Bock was suspected, he would not die on the spot. Instead, they will be subject to rigorous investigation.

But if he bites back and says it's Captain Jack Sparrow.

I don't have much trouble myself, so I'll just let a phantom go at worst.

But if you check the temple. . .

Himself was made public. The Prince of Wales is in the hands of Captain Jack Sparrow again. Count Otto has known Captain Jack's identity, Alok Phasma, for a long time. Now we attend dinner together again.

Now the Prince of Wales is being used as political capital.

Isn’t it possible that the plan will be completely disrupted by then? ? And you tricked Count Otto? ?

The most critical thing is that one's own exposure will cause the counter-will and heaven to be on alert. Let yourself fall into absolute passivity.

Um~~No. can not go.

But just because you can't go doesn't mean you can't do anything.

An idea suddenly came to Elok's mind.

Just now, I was saying that I planned to do something big soon after Boyka arrives. Isn’t the opportunity coming now? ?

Is there anything more shocking than making trouble on New Year's Eve? ?

A smile appeared on his face, and then he said:

"No. I won't go. There will be action that night."

Count Otto was stunned for a moment with disappointment, then quickly recovered and asked slowly:

"action?"

"Yes, it is an action that is conducive to the plan. But this is a secret. I wonder if Professor Palmer can participate?" Alok confirmed.

He looked at Professor Palmer with expectant eyes.

"Me? I have to protect the safety of the Earl on that day. This is also one of the operations." Professor Palmer did have this task, so he politely rejected Alok's invitation.

Unexpectedly, Alok smiled and said:

"Yes. Protecting the safety of the Earl is indeed one of the tasks. I just need the professor to help me pay attention to two people."

"Who? Ken Bock?" Professor Palmer asked unexpectedly.

Alok nodded and continued:

"Yes. There is another one. He should appear with Ken Bock, but he will not be too close and will keep a proper distance. His name is Tiloni Chi Mobius. A senior member of the Damea Astrologer Association."

He suddenly put down his knife and fork, took out a milky white memory light spot, and reproduced a figure. It was the appearance of Tiloni Chi Mobius. The anti-will astrologer codenamed "Worker".

"Just keep an eye on it. Use that communication device to contact." Alok said.

Professor Palmer and Count Otto looked at each other, not knowing what Alok was thinking, but nodded and replied:

"I will. But I advise you not to kill Ken Bock directly at this point."

"Oh? Why?" Alok asked doubtfully.

Professor Palmer frowned and said carefully:

"The current temple will never admit any of its mistakes. They are fighting a tough battle with the Axiom Temple in the north. Even if Ken Bock is considered a traitor against the will, he will never tell anyone."

"I am more worried that it will disrupt our plan and make us lose everything. Once we kill a powerful noble like Ken Bock, who is also the core figure of the cult, it will not only cause the cult to counterattack wildly, but also make the temple lose face. At that time, our plan to establish an implementation agency for the "Protection Law" may encounter unnecessary accidents."

Alok smiled bitterly, knowing that Count Otto, Professor Palmer and himself had different fundamental goals, so they did not agree with him on dealing with some issues.

Even if they wanted to set up an organization to fight against the Anti-Will and Heaven, there were some different opinions.

They considered the interests of the Grand Duke. And Alok, for the core of his own will.

So, he said: "We are also fighting. Don't worry. Heaven and Anti-Will will not have too strong a counterattack. I will put it out before the fire rises."

Professor Palmer and Count Otto saw that they could not convince Alok, and looked at each other again.

Then, Count Otto smiled and said: "It seems that Alok, you can't appreciate the luxury of the palace. And the manners of the princesses."

Hearing this, Alok smiled casually and replied: "For me, these are not important."

·······

When Alok and Il left, Professor Palmer and Count Otto sat in the reception room. The two seemed to have their own concerns. The atmosphere of silence enveloped the reception room.

Until Count Otto broke the deadlock:

"It seems that the marriage arrangement is not working. His heart is not with the Grand Duke. He only cares about the cult. He only cares about himself."

Professor Palmer was silent for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly:

"He is a legend!"
