Chapter 242 Mission 022
The Emperor of the Sea held a grand banquet in honor of the nobles of the Sea Clan and the Human Race envoys, and while the guests were having a good time, a guard suddenly swam over like a sharp arrow: "Your Majesty! Someone has stolen the sacrificial treasures!"
"What?" The Poseidon stood up suddenly, his expression became very ugly. He had been the Poseidon for nearly a thousand years, and he had never met a thief who dared to steal the sacrificial treasures of the Sea Tribe! "Find the thief! Recover the treasure!"
The banquet was forcibly interrupted, and no one dared to cause trouble for the furious Poseidon. Xiao Yu sat aside, feeling strange in his heart that the Poseidon Day celebration in the original book ended smoothly, and there was no stealing of sacrificial treasures at all. How on earth could it be?
Xiao Yu was thinking about what was wrong with him, and suddenly thought of the male protagonist Si Miao, who had been silent all this time. His face changed slightly, he glanced at the furious Poseidon, got up and quietly walked towards the place he had arranged for Si Miao. Went to the palace.
If the male protagonist Si Miao really stole the sacrificial treasure, then things would be terrible.
Although Poseidon was angry just now, he did not go out to search for it himself because he believed that the high priest and others would quickly find the treasure. The sacrificial treasure has the unique aura of offering sacrifices to the Poseidon. The high priest is very sensitive to the unique aura on the treasure. As long as he goes out to find the treasure quickly, he can also catch the thief by following the clues.
If the thief is really the male protagonist Si Miao, then if he doesn't know about this situation, he will definitely be found by the high priest, and the male protagonist will be dead. But Xiao Yu knew that the male protagonist was one of the pillars of the world and had to save his life, so things were in big trouble.
Therefore, Xiao Yu wanted to find the male protagonist to find out the situation, regardless of leaving the table and attracting Poseidon's attention. If it was really the male protagonist who stole the treasure, he would have to get the treasure back quickly and find a scapegoat to wipe the matter away. If it wasn't the male protagonist... that would be great.
However, when Xiao Yu left the main hall where the banquet was held in the Poseidon Palace and was heading to the male protagonist's side hall, he saw the high priest and his guards coming towards the Poseidon Palace from a distance. Seeing the menacing look, Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat. He immediately rushed to the side hall where Si Miao lived as quickly as possible.
After arriving at the side hall, Xiao Yu saw Si Miao eating delicious food with a calm expression.
Xiao Yu looked at him coldly and said: "Today, a thief stole one of the treasures enshrined on the altar to worship the God of the Sea. I wonder if Prince Simiao has seen the thief?"
Si Miao said calmly: "I've never seen it before."
Xiao Yu sneered: "The treasures that were sacrificed to the Poseidon all have a unique aura on them. No matter where the thief hides the treasure, the high priest can find the treasure with this aura. Even if the treasure is taken tens of thousands of miles away, You can find it even in the distant human capital!”
Xiao Yu, who was staring closely at Si Miao, immediately noticed a slight change in his demeanor and felt more certain.
Thinking that the high priest had now entered the Haiwang Palace, Xiao Yu felt even more anxious, and said bluntly: "Simiao, the high priest should have entered the Haiwang Palace. I advise you to send the treasures out quickly, no matter where they are. Get rid of the suspicion and don’t implicate this prince!”
Xiao Yu knew that if she said that she helped Si Miao because she wanted to keep him, Si Miao would not believe it, so she simply said that she helped him so as not to be implicated, which would make it easier to win his trust.
Si Miao took a deep look at Xiao Yu, then turned around and left the side hall immediately. He didn't know what method he used, but he was still very fast on the bottom of the sea. Xiao Yu followed him out and lost sight of him.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Xiao Yu did not follow Si Miao. He felt that he had made it very clear. The male protagonist should know what to do. After all, he could steal the treasure from the tightly guarded altar, so he could bypass the patrolling guards and throw the treasure far away. It should be easy to open.
Xiao Yu returned to his palace and took out a mirror-like spiritual treasure from the prince's treasury. This mirror was made by him after he was interested in the method of refining spiritual treasures in this world. There is no other mirror. It is very useful, that is, it is very convenient for detecting situations within a thousand miles radius.
He just left the banquet rashly. Although no one stopped him, many people noticed his departure. At this critical moment, the high priest happened to notice that the breath of the treasure was leaving from the direction of the prince's palace. , his departure was very suspicious.
And this mirror Lingbao is the prop he uses to get rid of suspicion.
Xiao Yu shot Si Miao's breath towards the back of the mirror, then took the mirror spirit treasure and walked towards the main hall of Poseidon Palace. Sure enough, he met the high priest and others on the way.
Seeing the high priest, Xiao Yu showed a smile: "The high priest came just in time. This prince collected a spiritual treasure a long time ago. This spiritual treasure can detect all situations within a thousand miles. You can lend it to the high priest." Search for the whereabouts of the thief."
When the high priest heard Xiao Yu's words, his face suddenly showed joy: "Thank you, Your Highness, for lending me the treasure. It's really great!"
Xiao Yu handed the mirror spirit treasure to the high priest and helped him refine the spirit treasure: "I hope the high priest will catch the thief soon, so that our sea tribe will not lose face in front of the human envoys."
The high priest used the mirror spirit treasure to shine in any direction, and all the scenes within a thousand miles in that direction were reflected in the mirror. The joy on the high priest's face became even heavier: "With this treasure, the thief will definitely not be able to escape!"
When Xiao Yu heard the high priest's confident words, he smiled a little and advised: "The high priest must not be careless. The thief can steal the treasure from the heavily guarded altar. His method must be extraordinary. It is better to be careful." Then no matter what. Whether the high priest listened to his advice, he left directly and walked towards the main hall of Poseidon Palace.
After walking for a while, Xiao Yu looked back at the high priest and others chasing after Si Miao in the direction where Si Miao left, and smiled.
That mirror spirit treasure is indeed very useful. Even a powerful person like Haihuang can't stop the exploration of the mirror spirit treasure even if he can find it. But he, the creator of the mirror spiritual treasure, knew how to make the mirror unable to detect someone.
Just now, he injected Si Miao's aura into the back of the mirror. During this period, Si Miao would not be detected even if he stood in front of the Mirror Lingbao. The high priest who has the Mirror Spirit Treasure will no longer need to make time-consuming and laborious searches. In this case, the high priest's ability to sense the breath of the altar treasure will not be able to catch Si Miao for the time being.
Xiao Yu continued to walk towards the main hall of Poseidon Palace, thinking that he had done everything he could, and the rest was up to the male protagonist himself. If he was really stupid, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of the high priest with his help. , then this time the male protagonist dies and the world collapses, causing his mission to fail, and there is nothing he can do.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
When Xiao Yu returned to the main hall of Poseidon Palace, Poseidon happened to see him and asked with a stern expression: "What are you doing at this time?"
Xiao Yu knew that Haihuang was probably suspicious of Si Miao, but he was prepared and said calmly: "Father, I just thought that I once collected a mirror spirit treasure that can detect the situation within a radius of ten thousand miles. , thinking that this spiritual treasure could help the high priest find the thief faster, I hurriedly went to the private treasury to get the treasure. I happened to meet the high priest on the way back, so I handed the spiritual treasure to the high priest, who must have been there soon. Can catch the thief and recover the treasure."
After hearing his explanation, Poseidon's tone softened a lot: "I didn't know you had collected such spiritual treasures..."
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I got it by accident during a training session. I thought it couldn't be used to defend or attack, so it was of no use, so I threw it into the private treasury. Now I thought about it, so I dug it out."
After Xiao Yu sat down again, he continued to participate in the banquet. But with the news that the sacrificial treasure was stolen, the atmosphere at the banquet became obviously much heavier.
Halfway through the banquet, Xiao Yu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. With his current level of cultivation, this premonition was basically an early warning for himself.
Xiao Yu suddenly took Xingyue's hand who was sitting next to him, and the two stood up. He said to the Emperor and Queen of the Sea: "Father, Emperor and Queen! Xingyue and I are in love. We have been engaged for many years. Today, I want to take advantage of the festive occasion of Poseidon Day to ask my father, the Queen and my Queen to set a wedding date for us."
Although the Sea Emperor and Sea Queen felt a little bad because the sacrificial treasure was stolen, in fact what was stolen was not a valuable treasure. They just felt that they could not save their face.
After hearing their son holding his daughter-in-law's hand and saying that he hoped to set a wedding date and get married as soon as possible, the Emperor and Queen of the Sea naturally became happy.
Poseidon happily swayed his golden fish tail. He looked at his son's golden fish tail that was exactly the same as his own, and at his daughter-in-law's fish tail that was full of bright blue light. He thought that it might not be long before he A grandson would be born who would also inherit his own talent... Poseidon still had the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart, and he quickly laughed and set the wedding date for his two children.
Xiao Yu held Xingyue's hand and looked at her sincerely: "Xingyue, my sincerity for you will be witnessed in the future. Are you willing to marry your brother Xingdial?"
Without Xingyue, the male protagonist who made her fall in love at first sight, she naturally had no objection to marrying her fiancé, but her shyness still made her just nod lightly and say in a voice as loud as a mosquito: "I do."
[Ding—Task twenty-two is completed, 10 points are awarded, and the fourth level of the system mall is unlocked. Mission 23: The Holy Monk Becomes a Demon Chapter begins...]
At this moment, the voice of the high priest came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, you have fulfilled your mission and caught the thief who dared to steal the sacrificial treasures, and the treasures have been recovered!"
Xiao Yu saw the high priest coming in with the mirror spirit treasure he had given him, and also solemnly carrying a treasure that exuded light on a tray.
He secretly wiped away the aura of Mirror Lingbao's boss, Miao, and then looked at the tray in the high priest's hand. When he saw the water-proof beads emitting the light of the sacrificial treasure on the tray, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
The treasure that the male protagonist steals without offending the sea tribe is the water-avoiding pearl? Just for a water-proof bead that made him work so hard to help, and almost made him fail to complete the task?
Seeing the male protagonist who was pressed in by the guards from behind, Xiao Yu looked indifferent. Anyway, the strategy mission had been completed, and he didn't care whether the male protagonist lived or died!
