Infinity Throne

When Yi Lin pushed open the door and walked in, her face seemed to be blooming with a shy little flower.

On the round table, there were twelve people sitting in circles.

Just like the legendary "Knights of the Round Table".

But Yi Lin guessed not, because this table was designed to only seat twelve people.

The rest of the people had straight backs and stood aside in a dignified manner, not daring to say anything.

Huh?

Poor Nolando is here too?

sure!

Surprisingly survived.

Yi Lin originally wanted to say a friendly hello to Nolando, who was destined to die, but because the atmosphere was too solemn, Yi Lin gave up this plan.

After a moment, Yi Lin's eyes moved away from Nolando and fell back on the strangest figure in the round table.

I saw a "person" in a gorgeous uniform at the top of the round table. The moment Yi Lin stepped into the conference room, he looked over here.

What Yi Lin found most strange was not the person's appearance, nor the obvious characteristics such as his behavior and movements.

Instead, that "person", all the skin that should be exposed outside the clothes is wrapped with a thick layer of bandages, just like the "Bandage Man" played by Li Changge in COS Haiting City.

On the head of the bandaged man, he also wears a certain gray-white curly wig and a red hat with gold rim, which is very stylish.

——Also wearing sunglasses.

From head to toe, almost no physical features are shown, not even the eyes.

So mysterious?

This sudden change of painting style made Yi Lin pay more attention to it. It was obvious that there was something weird about it, needless to say.

Kira Robert.

It is said that this was the name of the naval governor.

Is it any wonder that every time Old Swann mentioned this name, his eyes could not help but reveal an indescribable embarrassment?

Do you think he would throw his daughter into the fire?

In an instant, Yi Rin could roughly deduce the reason why "Elizabeth Rin" was captured through the information compiled in this extremely short period of time.

In all likelihood, he ran away from home!

If it were him, he would have to run even if his legs were broken!

Yi Lin had no other choice. He could only walk in the direction of Kira Robert, who was dressed strangely.

etc.

Yi Lin's steps did not stop, but in an instant, after further analyzing the limited information, she came to the further relationship between Elizabeth Lin and Kira Robert.

"Maybe……?"

Yi Lin's heart moved, and under the veil, she put on a sullen expression, snorted, walked to the corner, and kept a certain distance from Kira Robert.

Kira looked away again.

There was no surprise on the others' expressions, as if Elizabeth Lin's appearance and reaction were not unexpected.

really.

That's right.

According to Kira Robert's weird character, it would be a fool's errand if Elizabeth Rin really wanted to get married.

"Reluctantly" is the correct option.

The brief exchange of glances just now, Kira Robert's gaze through the sunglasses, made Yi Lin feel a sense of violation, and she couldn't explain it for a while.

The meeting continues.

Yi Lin's face was expressionless, pretending to be a arrogant young lady, but she was secretly looking at everyone in the conference room.

If there are no accidents, the person in front of me should be the top person in the "Navy" camp.

Governor-General of the Navy - Kira Robert.

On the round table, sitting on the left and right sides of the governor, were three navy men wearing pure white cloaks and full of style.

Two of them are handsome blond men, one has long hair, the other has short hair... I'm talking about hair.

They looked to be around thirty years old. Both men had very three-dimensional facial features. The short-haired man had a tense face, while the long-haired man showed a coquettish smile from time to time, elegant and calm.

The other person beside Kira Robert is a sexy and charming redhead.

She unbuttoned several buttons of the red and white military uniform, and the originally dignified navy uniform was forced to wear by the woman to create a "deep V" effect.

Yi Lin paid a little more attention, and roughly estimated that her figure was comparable to that of Elizabeth Lin.

The woman was wearing a deep V-style military uniform and a pure white cape. She held a golden pipe with a long and narrow stem in her hand, which was exquisitely made. The woman was smoking a small cigarette, and curls of cigarette smoke were rising from the pipe, filling the solemn meeting room with smoke. No one dared to show any strange expressions.

"These three guys have an extraordinary status."

If the real "Elizabeth Rin" were here, she would probably know these people, but Yi Rin is just wearing the vest of "Elizabeth Rin". If she is not prepared in advance, it is very likely that her secret will be revealed.

Yi Lin spent the shortest time observing the twelve people on the round table and moved quietly.

Huh?

There seemed to be a row of words written vertically on the backs of the three senior navy cloaks.

Is it "justice"?

It does not seem.

Yi Lin identified it carefully.

It turned out to be - "Pirates must die".

On the round table.

"Lieutenant General Pope, I heard that you were beaten up by a pirate not long ago and fled?"

suddenly.

At the round table, a naval officer with a mustache glanced at a man named Pope.

Lieutenant General Pope?

Pop?

Yi Lin found that the name seemed familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

The moment Lieutenant General Pope heard these words, his originally mellow face suddenly turned red. He shivered and did not say a word for a long time.

As for the other upper-class marines on the round table, except for the three men and one woman wrapped in cloaks, and the bandaged governor, the others all spoke extremely elegant words, with warm smiles, and comforted each other one after another. Pulai.

The general meaning is nothing more than——

"It's not that Pop is too incompetent, but that the enemy is too cunning."

"It doesn't matter. Pop will definitely catch that damn pirate next time. Even if it's not possible next time, it will be sure next time."

"You have done well enough. It is enough to play at your true level. Don't care about winning or losing."

"It doesn't matter, it must be bad luck. Maybe next time when you are lucky, you can catch that damn pirate!"

The words are good, but why do they become more and more uncomfortable to listen to?

really.

Pop's face gradually turned black from the color of pig liver at the beginning, listening to various comforting lines around him, as if Pop had signs of fainting.

Knock knock knock——

Just when the discussion at the round table was about to go too far.

A sudden knocking sound sounded from the corner of the round table. In an instant, all the comments and comforts fell silent within a few seconds, as if they had never sounded.

"oh?"

Yi Lin smiled slightly.

It turned out to be the deep-V pipe-smoking girl, banging her exquisite pipe on the table.

Knock knock knock——

"Let's forget about this matter."

The girl with a deep V pipe took a long puff of smoke, and the smoke filled the conference room, forming an unpredictable shape.

"I heard that the 'skeleton gentleman' possesses 'black magic'... Haha, it's very possible that he knows how to use 'that power'."

hiss--

When everyone in the conference room heard this, they were so frightened that they all took a breath of second-hand smoke.

"How is that possible! Besides those four damn big pirates, is there anyone else who knows how to use 'that power'?"

"Could it be that the sea that belongs to us will fall into chaos again?"

"If what Admiral Tiramisu said is true, then..."

When all the navy heard the news, their expressions were uncertain.

Yi Lin was surprised.

Who would have thought that the name "Skeleton Gentleman" would have spread here?

The top brass of the Navy were surprised?

He quietly opened the captain's panel and took a look.

Reputation value...famous all over the world?

Is this the original level?

"hehe."

Tiramisu Admiral on the other side.

The long-haired man in the cape, who also wore the cape of "Pirates Must Die", from nowhere, snapped out a few stacks of brand-new paper, smelling of brand-new ink, and presented them in front of everyone.

The man slowly said a few names in a magnetic voice.

"Skeleton Gentleman."

If it were any other situation, Yi Lin might not be able to help but reply.

--"arrive".

"Nicholas Zhao."

"Indiana Jones."

"These three, in just over a month, have gone from being unknown to becoming notorious pirates."

"The three of them can be said to be the new generation that has risen again since the decline of the 'pirates of the old era'."

"I, Admiral Macchiato, would like to call these three people the 'worst new generation'!"

"Haha, if these three damn pirates are willing to stoop to master 'that power', it will be enough to set off a huge storm on the sea. Don't forget the purpose of our navy's existence and what we are fighting for. If they are allowed to continue sailing, it will definitely hinder our plans!"

Yi Lin silently absorbed the information.

By the way, confused.

This so-called "Nicholas Zhao", anyone with a discerning eye will know that he is an apostle at a glance!

How did you manage to be so incompetent in choosing a name and yet still be so harmoniously integrated into this worldview?

Deep inside Yilin's heart, she was complaining crazily.

The other "Indiana Jones" had no sense of disobedience. At first glance, Yi Lin didn't feel anything special.

Intelligence is limited.

Because Yi Lin barged in during the meeting, she didn't know what was going on ahead.

But since Yi Lin came in, the content discussed in the meeting and some sentences had a lot of meaningless embellishments, giving people a feeling of being secretive.

"Is it because you are concerned about Elizabeth Lin's existence?"

Yi Lin thought silently.

The meeting ended with passionate speeches.

From the beginning to the end, Elizabeth Lin's fiancé, the man covered in bandages, never said a word.

Like a puppet on the round table.

Until the meeting adjourns.

Everyone left.

Before leaving, Nolandu passed by Yi Lin and made a gentleman's salute: "Oh, thank God, beautiful lady, you survived."

"Well, I'm surprised too."

Yi Lin smiled.

Actually what he wants to say is——

"Nolando, I'm very surprised that you survived."

After the others left.

Click——

The meeting door is locked again.

Um?

etc.

Only then did Yi Lin notice that there was a man with black hair standing behind the bandaged man.

The man never said a word from beginning to end and was hidden in the crowd.

It was only when everyone left and the man remained motionless that he entered Yi Lin's sight.

Yi Lin frowned.

She saw her fiancé, Kira Robert, walking towards her step by step.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Yi Lin: "..."

At this time, what kind of persona should he use to answer such a bloody opening statement?

——"Acridine! Long time no see too?"

——"Are you surprised that I survived?"

——"You want to change your wife, don't you?"

Yi Lin filtered through the barren romance novel plots in her brain.

At this moment, Yi Lin found that the black-haired man behind Kira Robert was also looking at him with a curious look.

then.

Yi Lin said something, causing Tiramisu to lose his attention, take a puff of cigarette ashes, and cough violently.

Elizabeth Lin suddenly smiled coldly.

He put one hand on his hip and pointed at the nose of the dark-haired man behind the governor.

"Is it because of this damn man?"

Tiramisu Admiral: "Ahem!"

Black-haired man: "?"

Navy Governor: "?"

Everyone was confused for a moment.

But it seems that in this world, being sexually passionate is not too forward thinking. Tiramisu coughed for a while and soon understood: "Ahem, Ms. Elizabeth, I think you must have misunderstood, Mr. Governor. The relationship with Advisor Amakusa Seishiro is not what you think."

It was a good thing that Tiramisu didn't open his mouth. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone looked at General Tiramisu with strange eyes.

"Oh? What do you think I'm doing?" Tiramisu took a long breath of cigarette, calmed down, and then explained: "Ms. Elizabeth, let me introduce to you, this is an adventurer from the Eastern Sea. , Rear Admiral Harushiro Amakusa, who also serves as the top advisor to the Imperial Navy.”

Yo ho?

Yi Lin was a little surprised.

I didn’t expect that tiramisu was such an avant-garde idea.

However, in this short sentence, Yi Rin did not really want to cause any trouble, but in this way, she roughly tested whether the normal "Elizabeth Rin's personality" was the same as the black-haired man behind the Governor. know.

In Yi Lin's impression, as a woman, isn't it normal for her to lose her temper and act arrogant?

There is no sense of violation at all.

The man whom Tiramisu called "Amakusa Harushiro" did not change his expression, lowered his head slightly, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Governor: "It's good if you come back."

Yi Lin still refused to give up: "Are you happier if I can't come back?"

"No."

"Who are you lying to? They say a man's mouth is deceiving. Will I believe it?"

"..."

"Also! I've been missing for a whole month, and why didn't you come to me? You're so heartless, do you know how I spent this month? Oh, God, that was an unbearable past!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Huh? You're sending me away just because you've done so much? Are you serious about not taking your fiancée seriously? I think you should go find the man behind you, Kusushiro."

"..."

Tiramisu corrected: "It's Amakusa Harushiro, Ms. Elizabeth."

Yi Lin completely took on the role, like a shrew cursing, pointing at the governor's bandaged nose and talking non-stop.

The governor turned out to be very good-tempered. He always answered questions and would remain silent when he couldn't answer them. He looked like a pitiful little sufferer.

In just one minute, Yi Lin couldn't wait to try out all the bloody lines in her memory.

At this moment, Tiramisu and the others looked at each other, and their expressions changed slightly. Tiramisu, who was also a woman, reached out to stop Yi Lin, who was furious.

"Beautiful Ms. Elizabeth, you are overthinking it. During the period when you were missing, the Governor did not think about food and drink. He also issued a reward. Even if it is a pirate, as long as he can bring you back to London, all his sins will be pardoned. That’s a very kind thing to do.”

"Oh?" Yi Lin glanced at tiramisu.

Seeing that "Difficult Elizabeth Lin" finally stopped speaking sharply, the corners of Tiramisu's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly pulled Yi Lin out of the door and comforted him: "Believe me, the Governor has been too exhausted during this period. If it weren't for Because looking for the whereabouts of Ms. Elizabeth, the Governor will not do this."

Yi Lin didn't dare to ask any more questions about the governor's makeup.

If you ask, the secret will definitely be revealed.

Therefore, after messing around for a while and getting the information he wanted, Yi Lin did not continue to mess with things for good or bad reasons. She just folded her hands and snorted, with a perfect expression.

She just looks like a beautiful lady with resentment.

At this time.

Amakusa Seishiro took a step forward, with an elegant smile on his face, squinting his eyes slightly, moving slowly, and stretched out one hand towards Yi Lin's palm, as if he was going to give a standard hand kiss.

"Nice to meet you, beautiful lady."

Elizabeth Rin slapped Amakusa Seishiro's palm away: "Get out! I'm not happy!"

Governor: "..."

Three generals: "..."

Amakusa Seishiro: "..."

After saying that, Elizabeth Lin ignored everyone who was frozen in place, angrily raised her skirt and rushed out of the conference room. No one dared to stop her along the way.

As soon as she walked out of the navy headquarters, Yi Lin's angry expression suddenly changed and turned into a slightly frowning and thoughtful expression.

"There seems to be some trouble now."

ten minutes later.

Yi Lin idlely waited for Ruth.

suddenly.

A somewhat helpless voice came from behind.

"You really don't give me any face. That move made me lose some of my health bar."

Yi Lin was not surprised at all by the voice coming from behind.

Turning around, Yi Rin saw not far away, Amakusa Seishiro, still wearing the same poker-faced smile that he had withdrawn from not long ago, with an upright posture, standing behind Yi Rin.

Yi Lin smiled warmly: "Who used that lame test method? Kissed your hand as a gift? Haha, I already gave you a lot of dignity without slapping you in the face."

Amakusa Seishiro shook his head slightly: "Change a place?"

Yi Lin shook her head, her smile unchanged: "No, as the governor's fiancée, if she goes to other places with a strange man, it is easy for rumors to spread. If I am not wrong, this identity will go out on the streets. , there should still be a lot of people who look familiar to each other."

After a moment of silence.

Amakusa Seishiro took the initiative to invite: "Tani Tenharu."

After a few seconds.

In Yi Lin's mailing list.

There is one more name.

But to be honest, no apostle would be so naive as to think that the "friends" added to the communication list are really "good friends who will never leave you." There are really such simple-minded apostles who will not survive. Now.

In her previous life, Yi Lin even added her enemies to the list face to face, just for the convenience of confirming at any time the year, month and day when the other party died.

It is such a simple communication function, and neither Yi Lin nor Gu Tianqing will think too much about it.

After adding each other as friends.

The two chatted quietly on the street, their movements and expressions were very natural.

Gu Tianqing smiled slightly and said: "During this period, I was also fortunate to have in-depth exchanges with several real aristocratic women. I noticed that as long as they are aristocratic women who have received professional etiquette training, they will subconsciously say something special when standing. The weight-bearing foot is adducted about 30 degrees, so the feeling you give me..."

"She doesn't look like a woman of this era, or maybe she doesn't look like a woman at all."

Yi Lin's expression remained unchanged: "I didn't ask you how you found out?"

Gu Tianqing chuckled: "I probably guessed that you wouldn't ask, so it would be more sincere if I took the initiative. It can be seen from the fact that your eyes widened a little after listening to what I said just now. You accepted my sincerity."

Yi Lin lowered her head: "Micro expression?"

Gu Tianqing shook his head: "It's not that professional. It's just that my personal experience is a bit special and I have formed some small habits of observing people. It's not worth mentioning."

Yi Lin chuckled: "Are you sure it's okay to reveal your trump card so quickly?"

"At the very least, we can be considered allies, right?"

"Not necessarily..."

Yi Lin and Gu Tianqing looked at each other in the air.

The two were silent for a few more seconds.

Both of them saw a hint of hidden surprise in each other's eyes.

Even the other apostles would find the conversation between the two people incomprehensible, wondering whether they were strangers or acquaintances.

But in a conversation between smart people, the beginning is omitted, the process of introducing and getting to know each other is omitted, and the conversation goes straight to the point.

For example, it's like what classmate Li Erpang once said: In the relationship between men and women, if you don't go straight to the dinner party with a hotel room, it is pure hooliganism.

Although this was just a joke, it was obvious that Yi Lin and Gu Tianqing had no time to play hooligans.

(Li Erpang: Me???)

soon.

Gu Tianqing was the first to break the silence for a few seconds: "I think you were so...actful just now, and you should have noticed it?"

"Discovery? What discovery?" Yi Lin blinked.

Gu Tianqing was startled at first, then shook his head and smiled: "Your fiancé is a bit weird. To be precise, the entire navy is very weird."

Yi Lin blinked again: "Really? The weather is really nice today."

Gu Tianqing smiled slightly: "See you later."

Yi Lin nodded: "We can talk."

Right now.

Yi Lin had already seen Ruth's sneaking figure walking this way.

Gu Tianqing turned around and re-entered the naval headquarters without saying a word.

I believe that given his status, it is not easy to find a reason to slip out and have this brief conversation with Yi Lin.

After all, everyone is currently playing their own identities, and it is better not to have too much interaction between characters.

"Gu Tianqing...?"

After Yi Lin repeated the name in a low voice, she cast a questioning look at Ruth.

Ruth made a secret "OK" gesture.

"We'll talk about it when we get back. Phew—acting is so tiring."

Yi Lin took a breath and took a carriage. Like a young lady dressed up for a trip, she returned to Swan Castle in style.

Along the way.

Yi Lin was silent.

Thinking about what he saw in the naval headquarters.

Something is wrong.

Something is really wrong.

Especially that one...the Governor.

The scene where Yi Lin stitched together various ridiculous lines just now was an inspiration and a temporary show off of her poor acting skills.

But in fact, Yi Lin had her own considerations.

The more he thought about it, the weirder and gloomier Yi Lin's expression became.

In the narrow carriage, Ruth's heart fluttered, swaying as the horse galloped.

Huh?

Is this a good place?

Why does this vibration always give people a pleasant rhythm?

Ruth was about to express her gratitude, but she looked up and found that something was wrong with Yi Lin's expression.

"Huh? What's wrong? Your fiancé is not good? What kind of person is he?"

Yi Rin heard Ruth’s voice.

The gloomy expression soon softened a lot.

Both for the "Governor" and Gu Tianqing, Yi Lin felt that this matter was starting to get tricky.

"If he was a 'normal person', maybe it wouldn't be so bad."

Yi Lin suddenly said this.

Ruth looked confused.

After returning to the castle.

As soon as his old father Swan saw Yi Lin come back, he pestered Yi Lin to ask about how he met his fiancé again and what his thoughts were.

Naturally, Yi Lin didn't have a good face towards the old father who pushed his own daughter into the fire pit, so he closed the door with a snap and locked it.

But ten minutes later, Ruth walked out with a helpless look and wandered around the castle.

in the room.

Yi Lin closed her eyes and thought.

In her mind, Yi Lin constructed a virtual whiteboard.

Navy, pirates, camp, curse, Calypso, trade, governor, main quest, Third Admiral, Emperor Wang, Seishiro Amakusa, Elizabeth Rin, Nicholas Zhao, Indiana Jones...and "Demon King".

The seemingly unrelated nouns gradually formed an intricate relationship diagram in Yi Lin's thoughts.
