(It's the third watch today. It's the Dragon Boat Festival today. I drank too much with my family at night, so my head is dizzy now.) [P.S. Actually, I wanted to name this chapter "The Eye of Darkness in Action". After some thought, I decided against it.])
The 2,500-kilometer Grand Canal was a huge project that the empire had spent more than a million people and a large amount of money to build over seven years. Although it had greatly damaged the empire's vitality and caused the people to be in dire straits, it was definitely worth it in the long run.
The 'dragon boat' that was docked at the Grand Canal Pier of the Imperial Capital was also part of this massive project. This was a ship that the Emperor would only use when he was on patrol, but it had long become the best place for the officials and nobles of the Empire to hold banquets.
Tazmi, who had sneaked into the dragon boat as a country bumpkin to protect the officials on the dragon boat who were inclined to the Revolutionary Army, looked at everything with envy.""Wow, it's gorgeous. I didn't expect to be able to enjoy such treatment.”
Tazmi, who was looking at the things he was interested in, suddenly felt a slap on his back. When he turned around to look for the person who had slapped him, he found that there was nothing behind him.
A familiar voice rang in Tazmi's ears.""Idiot, don't forget that you're just a local tycoon. You're more or less nervous about the prosperity of the capital. If you're exposed, it'll definitely be a big crisis!”
After hearing the voice, Tazmi lost interest in the surroundings. He said weakly,""Oh…it's Big Brother!"
Tazmi quietly walked to a place with fewer people and asked Brand, who was hiding behind him,""Big Brother, why do you think Boss didn't let Chi Tong participate in the next mission and locked her up in the stronghold instead?”
"I don't know. Maybe Chi Tong found some amazing information. But the most important thing now is to protect the officials of the Conscience Faction. With their help, the Revolutionary Army can win the final victory.”Brand, who was still in the invisibility state, was also puzzled as to why Scarlet Eye was not allowed to come out. However, as a big brother, the first thing he had to do was to appease his little brother.
"Big brother, although the person who pretended to be our night attacker is likely to come here, there are so many people here. The old man who needs to be protected is also surrounded by so many bodyguards.”Tazmi smiled bitterly and pointed at the bald man who needed protection.
Tazmi, who had just finished speaking, suddenly covered his head.""It hurts…"
"Don't give up so easily, Tazmi. I have the ability to turn invisible, but the enemy might have other methods as well.”
"I've been beaten up by you a few times already, big brother.”
Brand's magnetic voice rang in Tazmi's ears."" Tazmi, you can't do that. This is a lashing of love from your big brother. You should accept it with gratitude. This is a lashing of love, a lashing of love…"
"Ah, ah, don't repeat it so many times.”
"I'll leave for a while now. The time for me to become transparent is almost up.”
Not long after Brand left, Tazmi heard the melodious sound of a flute. The sound made him lower his guard and relax his tense nerves. His body gradually became weak and drowsy, as if he would fall to the ground and fall asleep if he pushed him.
Tazmi, who was relying on his own willpower to hold on, looked at the people around him who had fainted one after another. He suddenly shivered and sobered up a little."What…what is going on? Why did everyone faint?"
Tazmi, who had barely managed to take a step forward, fell to his knees weakly.""Damn it, even if I wanted to call Big Brother now, I wouldn't be able to muster the strength in my body. The flute sound just now…was it because of that?”
At the same time, in the cabin, Leva was enjoying the sound of Niv's flute. To others, it was like a death charm, but it had no effect on Leva.
The flute in Neve's hand was a legendary relic,'The Dream of Military Music'. It could freely manipulate the emotions of the audience. Although it was known to be used to boost morale on the battlefield, it could manipulate dozens of emotions. However, if one listened to it repeatedly, they would develop resistance to the song. Neve's flute was used to hypnotize the audience.
Leva, who felt that it was about time, stopped Niwu from playing.""Niwu, we've already left the city. Get ready to move out. Even if we encounter a night attack, there's nothing to be afraid of. Lord Nie Hou alone can take on five of them. Also…I want to rush back and try to make some new dishes…"
On the other side of the cabin, Brand was also lying on the ground, powerless. As an experienced fighter, he could naturally determine that the cause of this was the flute. However, even if the flute had stopped, the power he had lost had not returned.
No, it couldn't be said that he had lost his power, but the ability to control his power. If he had lost the ability to control his power because of paralysis…then he would use a stronger state to break this paralysis.
Brandt trembled as he picked up the short sword that was haunted by evil spirits. With his eyes closed, he stabbed his own calf. Instantly, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his calves and pants were instantly dyed red with blood.
Even though he was injured, Brand still felt that everything was worth it. He had regained control of his body. Other than one leg that was not very obedient, it did not affect Brand's combat power. After bandaging his calf, Brand walked towards the deck. If there were enemies, they would definitely gather on the deck. He believed that before he arrived, Tazmi would definitely be able to stop the enemy's attack.
Just as Night Raid and the three Beast Warriors thought that there were only two forces on the dragon boat, a third force had hidden in the power room of the dragon boat.
The black loli, who was not affected by Nio's flute at all, stuck pieces of explosives in the power room with an unhappy expression. She installed the remote control and kept muttering," Bastard uncle, how dare you say that if two of the Three Sushi are killed, we will detonate this ship to retrieve the Three Sushi Emperor relics. If the Night Raid is killed, we will detonate this ship to retrieve the Night Raid Emperor relics. If you want the Emperor relics so badly, then go and snatch them yourself. Why do you have to let me do such a low-level thing, especially when I can only watch those bastards eating delicious snacks outside?"”
However, even though she was complaining, Black Eye still completed Nie Hou's order perfectly. Now, all she needed to do was hide in the water and wait for one of them to be defeated.
However, at the thought of having to lurk in the water, Blackpupil's resentment towards Nie Hou increased. Although the temperature was good now and it was very suitable for swimming, it was simply terrible to lurk in the Grand Canal.
