Chapter 486 - Stowaway
Chapter 486: Stowaway
“How are our preparations going?”
Lei Luo asked Tolle beside him with a slightly doubtful expression. They were already close to the Doomsday Dusk Alliance’s checkpoint.
“Don’t worry, the pass certificate and everything have been taken care of.”
Tolle had a slightly unconcerned expression. Trump was still a member of the Doomsday Dusk Alliance, so there was no problem transporting the magic conductor on this ship as a slave.
Lei Luo calmed down after hearing Tolle’s answer. This ship was an important member of the Black Angel Army. If something went wrong, his plan would be ruined.
He brought Tolle to the place where the heavy armor was docked and waited for the heavy armor belonging to the Twilight Union to float over from afar.
Ever since the route into and out of Satan’s Wings was controlled and monopolized by the Twilight Union, there were many merchants who wanted to profit from it.
The people inside wanted to transport the magic crystal ore out, while the people outside wanted to transport the magic weapons and other equipment that the pirates urgently needed. Although the pirates of Satan’s Wings were dissatisfied with this, they still obediently paid the toll.
They robbed others every day, and one day, they were even robbed by others. I don’t know if these pirates have anything to say, but Lei Luo didn’t think too much about it. The Heavy Armored Knights of the Doomsday Dusk Alliance had already slowly slid into the preparation room.
The heavy armor of the Twilight Union was blood red. On the shoulder of the heavy armor, there was a black dragon pattern wrapped around a tall tree. It looked particularly majestic.
Tolle walked to the front and smiled at the knight who had just gotten off the heavy armor.
“Knights of the Twilight Union, thank you for your hard work. I am a small steward sent by Lord Trump to gather the magic conductors near Satan’s Wings. I hope that you can do me a favor.”
As he spoke, he stuffed the magic crystal card in his hand into the knight’s hand.
Ever since Trump decided to fully cooperate with Lei Luo, he no longer cared about the help he could give to Lei Luo. It must be known that if this bet was on the table, it would not be so easy to get down. Therefore, Trump was not ambiguous, and Lei Luo could give him whatever he wanted.
That knight smiled and took the magic crystal card from Tolle. After all, no one would mind having less money in their hands, right?
The knight spoke to Tolle with a hint of respect. “We’re just going to check the ship. There’s nothing else. Just help us.”
The knight also knew that Trump was a big financier of their alliance, so he naturally did not dare to offend him. He led his men and Tolle to start searching the people on the ship.
Since Lei Luo did not show up, it would be useless for him to show up at this time. It would be better to let Tolle handle it. He could also think about the next plan.
That knight led his subordinates and began to shuttle back and forth between the cabins. When he saw the magic conductor in shabby clothes, an obvious look of disgust appeared on his face. However, he did not care too much. The magic conductor trade in Trump’s hands was protected by the alliance, and they also knew that.
However, when the knight walked to the side of a magic conductor and saw the resentful look of the magic conductor, he could not help but become angry. He kicked the magic conductor to the ground and said fiercely, “Lowly magic conductor, what are you looking at? Do you think I won’t kill you?”
When the surrounding magic conductors saw this scene, they had already surrounded him. There were already nearly three million magic conductors on the ship, and they were all walking towards him. When the knight saw that these magic conductors were so unruly, he could not help but fly into a rage. He pulled out his magic knife, and when his subordinate saw the leader draw out his blade, he also took out the magic blade in his hand.
Seeing that the matter was getting bigger and bigger, Tolle could not help sweating profusely as he asked Lei Luo in his mind what to do.
At this moment, Lei Luo was also starting to have a headache. If this matter was not handled properly, he might lose the support of the magic conductors. Since he had to treat them equally, he could not treat them any differently from normal people, otherwise, his plan would probably fall apart in the middle.
“What happened?”
Lei Luo changed into the captain’s uniform of the Twilight Union and squeezed into the crowd, speaking to the people in a serious tone.
When Tolle saw Lei Luo coming over, he heaved a sigh of relief. After all, he wasn’t good at dealing with such situations.
When that knight saw that the person in charge of this ship had come, he also put away his knife. After all, in an alliance, a captain could be said to be an authority, let alone a knight who could offend him.
“Sir, this magic conductor is trying to offend his superiors. Please let me take him back and execute him.”
The knight showed a respectful expression and looked at the magic conductor with hatred in his eyes. He was just a slave, what right did he have to look at him like that.
Lei Luo was a little speechless. Looking at this knight, he knew that if he were to take the magic conductor away, there would be a riot on the ship. Lei Luo did not want any problems to arise.
With a trace of anger, he slapped the leader of the knights and roared at the knight, “Do you know what you are saying? You want Lord Trump’s precious goods? Do you want Lord Trump to take a copy of your liege book at the Alliance meeting? Get lost quickly.”
The knight did not react. As a human, shouldn’t that person help him? With a trace of resentment, the knight brought his subordinates back to the heavy armor.
He knew that if he were to report this to the Alliance meeting, no one would gain anything, so he could only endure it.
Lei Luo helped the magic conductor up from the ground and said to him, “I don’t know what kind of hatred you have, but I’m willing to help you. If anyone makes you suffer, I won’t let them go, even if I am a native.”
His tone was sincere. These words were what Lei Luo wanted to say to all the magic conductors who were willing to follow him. After all, the most important thing to maintain an army was trust. If he couldn’t subdue the hearts of these magic conductors, then the next to riot would be his Black Angel Army. He didn’t want such a thing to happen.
After saying that, he brought Tolle back to the captain’s cabin. Those magic conductors looked at Lei Luo’s back with respect. It hadn’t been a day or two since the magic conductors had been discriminated against. It was a deep-rooted contempt, a contempt that came from the level of life. But Lei Luo’s words seemed to let them see a native who was truly willing to help them.
The magic conductor who was helped up by Lei Luo had a trace of reverence. His hometown had been destroyed by the Doomsday Dusk Alliance and he had wandered all the way until he was kidnapped. After he understood the meaning of this army, he resolutely joined the Black Angel Army. He had originally thought that Lei Luo had only treated them as chess pieces that could be abandoned at any time. He had not expected that he would rather offend a knight than protect him.
He wanted him to know that he was valued by Lei Luo and that he was not cannon fodder or someone that could be abandoned. This magic conductor named Byron did not disappoint Lei Luo’s expectations and became a worthy leader of the magic conductor army. Of course, this was something for another time.
