Chapter 401 Search and Rescue
"what?"
Extremely shocked expressions appeared on the faces of Flynn and Ken Roswell.
The first prince, St. Albert Diamutene, is the first heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Heidelberg. His disappearance is undoubtedly an earthquake for the Kingdom of Heidelberg.
"What force did it?"
Ken Roswell asked quickly.
"I don't know, before I disappeared, no news was sent back."
Suleiman frowned and shook his head.
"How many guards are there around Prince St. Albert?"
Flynn asked.
"Two twelve-ring mystics, five high-level mystics, and more than twenty middle and low-ring mystics."
Suleiman said.
"This kind of protective power is not weak enough to prevent them from even spreading the news. At least four or more Twelve Rings and ten or more High Rings must be mobilized."
Ken Roswell frowned.
"Prince St. Albert should have a life-saving Extraordinary item, right?"
Flynn asked.
"There is a Type V defensive item."
Suleiman nodded.
"How is the defense?"
Ken Roswell asked.
"The twelve rings can't break through the defense that is propped up, even if it is extraordinary, it is difficult to break through in a short time."
Suleiman said.
"In this way, Prince St. Albert's chances of survival are not small."
Ferrin's eyes lit up and said.
"There is indeed a lot of possibility."
Ken Roswell also agreed.
"That's why I summoned you. Both of you are stronger than the general twelve rings. I want you two to participate in the search and rescue of Prince St. Albert."
Suleiman ordered.
"Just the two of us?"
Flynn asked.
"Another four Elders of the Twelve Rings will be summoned. The specific candidates for the four Elders of the Twelve Rings have not yet been determined, but this time the enemy is very strong, and the two of you must participate."
Suleiman said.
"Get ready, half an hour later, I will teleport you through space and send you to a coastal city, where you will join other people to participate in the search and rescue."
"Elder Diamutni, can I take the book I'm reading now, and only bring the book I'm reading at the moment, even if it falls into the hands of the enemy, it will be useless to the enemy."
Ferrin hesitated for a moment, and asked.
He doesn't resist the task. The enemies he will face this time are very strong, and powerful enemies may allow him to gain a large amount of mysterious points, which are exactly what he is in urgent need of now.
The only bad thing is that this search operation will inevitably affect his reading progress.
However, this effect can be minimized by being able to carry the book with you and read it in between searches.
"Yes, but you can only bring the book you are reading."
Suleiman thought about it, and agreed to Feilin's request.
As Flynn said, as long as you don't take all the books with you, even if it falls into the hands of the enemy, it will be useless to the enemy.
In addition, the book in Flynn's hands has a backup in the Security Bureau, even if it is lost, it will not be missing.
"Step aside."
The first princess, Emilia Diamutni, rushed into a villa in a hurry. The people in the villa didn't dare to stop her, so they could only let her walk through the villa.
Soon, she came to the hall of the villa and met the second prince Ahiborn Diamuten who was located in the hall of the villa.
"Emilia, what are you doing here?"
Seaborn frowned and asked Emilia who was coming.
“Put everyone else back off.”
Emilia said coldly.
Hilburn waved his hand, and everyone in the hall left one after another, leaving only Seaborn and Emilia.
Emilia stared at Seaborn and asked.
"Big Brother's disappearance, did you do it?"
"Am I so unbearable in your heart?"
Seaborn frowned.
"I just want to know if it is."
Emilia did not answer, but said.
"No, although I disagree with my elder brother in many aspects, it is not enough to do such a thing."
Seaborn shook his head.
"It's really not you?"
Emilia stared at Siaborn's expression, trying to see the flaws in Siaborn's expression.
"Of course not, I'm not crazy enough to fight brothers, and besides, the guards around my elder brother are not weak. Although my subordinates have some strength, it is absolutely impossible for me to not even get the news out. "
Seaborn said calmly.
"Hope it's really not you."
Emilia took a deep look at Seaborn, then turned and walked out.
In the hall, Seaborn frowned, thinking about something.
Returning to Harlowin Villa, Flynn explained the situation to Duke Harlowin and returned to the headquarters with his luggage.
Back to the headquarters, he met Ken Roswell who was also carrying a suitcase of luggage.
The two nodded to each other, and walked to the office of the Great Elder Diamutni together.
"You are here, are you ready?"
Knock on the door and walk into the office. In the office, the Great Elder Diamutni is still frowning.
Seeing them coming, he raised his head and asked.
"It's ready, but how to search for Prince St. Albert? I have never been in contact with Prince St. Albert before, and I am not familiar with the smell and breath of Prince St. Albert."
Flynn asked.
"through this."
Suleiman took out two **** rings and said.
"You should be familiar with this kind of ring. This kind of ring is called the blood ring. It absorbs the blood of the tracking target in advance. As long as it appears within a hundred miles of the tracking target, it will be telepathic."
"No stranger."
Flynn nodded, he was no stranger to this kind of ring.
Lindy has such a ring in her hand. Because of absorbing his blood, she can accurately know his location and even his state.
Obviously, this is an alchemical item used to protect important people.
Before this, he should have absorbed the blood of the First Prince Saint Albert Diamutene.
"Each of you keeps one of these two rings."
Suleiman handed the ring to Flynn and Ken Roswell, and then went to the mirror in the office.
The mirror ripples like water waves, and it is like connecting a space behind the mirror.
"Go in, through this mirror, you will arrive at the Security Bureau of Siena City, where you will meet other people."
Flynn and Ken Rothwell walked into the mirror one by one and disappeared into the office. When they reappeared, they found themselves in an empty room.
In the empty room, there is a door and a mirror taller than a person, and they walked out of this mirror just now.
Did not leave the room, the two waited in the room.
Without waiting for too long, the door in the room lit up with a hazy white light, and when it opened, the mirror once again rippled like water waves, forming a passage.
From the opened wooden door and the mirror forming the passage, people kept coming out, and soon there were as many as twenty people.
There are four other elders who participated in the search and rescue mission, as well as other high-ring mystics and middle-ring mystics who participated in the mission.
Felin did not recognize the high-ring mystic and the middle-ring mystic who participated in the mission, but he did recognize the four elders who participated in the mission.
He has never dealt with these four elders. He only knows that the names of these four elders are Upton Bertram, Grover Giles, Eve Burns, and Mavis Catherine.
Among them, Upton Bertram is a tall middle-aged man.
Glover Giles is an old man wearing a black soft hat and holding a cane.
Eve Burns is a beautiful woman in her forties with curly hair.
Mavis Catherine is an old woman with gray hair and many wrinkles on her face.
A group of people left this room and moved to a conference room. In the conference room, Ken Rothwell explained the mission this time.
When they heard the news, except for the three elders who already knew about it, everyone else couldn't help but look surprised.
As the first prince, St. Albert Diamutheny disappeared on the way back, and his life and death are currently unknown.
There is no doubt that this is a big event, a big event that is enough to cause a huge earthquake in the Kingdom of Heidelberg.
"The first prince has a type V extraordinary defensive item on him, and his chances of survival are high. Our task is to search and rescue the first prince."
Ken Roswell said.
"Director Roswell, shall we act separately or together?"
Eve Burns, who looked like a beautiful woman, asked.
"We divided into two operations, one led by me, Elder Bertram, and Elder Catherine, and the other led by Elder Sox, Elder Burns, and Elder Giles."
Ken Roswell said.
"The guards around the first prince are not weak. There are two 12-ring mystics. If they can't send out any news, the enemy must be very strong."
"If we spread out, maybe not only we won't be able to rescue the first prince, but we may even be defeated by the enemy one by one."
Eve Burns said worriedly.
"Now is a race against time. The sooner the first prince is found, the more likely the first prince will survive."
"As for safety, although there are some risks to be taken, the risks are not as great as imagined. Elder Suokes and I both have strengths beyond the general twelve rings. It is not a problem to fight against two."
"And our two teams will not be too far apart. Once the other side is attacked, we will be able to rush over quickly."
Ken Roswell said.
Eve Burns' concerns, he has naturally considered it.
However, considering that he and Flynn both have the strength of one against two, he finally decided to divide into two teams to increase the efficiency of the search.
"I agree that the team should be divided into two groups. In order to find the first prince as soon as possible, it is inevitable to take some risks."
Mavis Catherine said.
Soon, more than 20 people divided into two teams, arrived at the city port, boarded two small but fast steamships, and hurried to the area where the first prince disappeared.

Chapter 402 Doubt
beep—
The chimney of the steamship was emitting black smoke. In the billowing black smoke, the steamship broke through the sea and moved forward quickly.
"Past life plus this life, this is the first time to take a boat."
Flynn stood on the deck of the steamship, looking at the blue water, feeling an indescribable sense of freshness in his heart.
In his previous life, he lived in an inland city and did not have the opportunity to take a boat, so this is his first time to take a boat.
Suddenly, his complexion changed suddenly, and he thought of a difficult question.
"It's broken, I can't swim."
The place where he lived in the previous life and this life did not need to be used for swimming, so he still can't swim until now.
"If you encounter an enemy, the ship will be damaged during the battle..."
Ferrin's complexion became ugly.
In this sea, if the ship is damaged and he can't swim, the ending is not difficult to imagine.
"With the panel, it is not difficult to learn quickly."
Ferring thought of a solution.
With the panel, it is not impossible to achieve quick results.
No longer in the mood to enjoy the sea view, he was thinking about whom to learn swimming from.
Soon, he found his target.
A man dressed as a crew member is wiping the deck. His skin is dark and rough, and he should often go to sea.
As a person who works on the boat, the other party must know how to swim, and the water quality is probably not bad. This is a suitable object for learning to swim.
He walked over and came to the man.
"Sir."
Seeing Flynn coming, the man quickly stood up and called him respectfully.
Although they are only in charge of logistics, after all, they have to contact the mystics, and they will inevitably see things that ordinary people should not see. Therefore, all the crew members on this ship have military backgrounds.
He is a retired soldier who received an order to participate in this operation.
"Don't be nervous, I just have something to ask you."
Flynn said.
"Sir, please speak."
The dark-skinned man said quickly.
"You should know how to swim, right?"
Flynn asked.
"Yes, sir."
The dark-skinned man nodded.
"Very well, from now on, your job is to teach me how to swim. As for other tasks, I will ask the captain to arrange someone else."
Flynn said.
Several hours later, there was a change on the Flynn panel, and a new column of text appeared.
Swimming: not started
"upgrade."
"upgrade."
"upgrade."
Ferring resolutely chose to upgrade, and a lot of memories poured into his brain, a lot of memories about swimming.
After three consecutive upgrades, his swimming skills were upgraded to the master level.
He changed from a person who was new to swimming to a person with superb swimming skills, even enough to practice the corresponding secret technique.
"This potential weakness is eliminated."
Seeing that the swimming column has become a master, Flynn heaved a sigh of relief. With master swimming, even if the battle caused the ship to sink, he would not be drowned.
Of course, the battle caused the ship to sink, which must be avoided as much as possible.
Now at sea, if the ship sinks, although there is a possibility of survival, it will not be too great.
Solved the weakness of not being able to swim, and Flynn returned to his normal rhythm.
Use the alchemy item Blood Ring from time to time to explore the surroundings, looking for the first prince.
In his spare time, he took out the book on Ross Resonance Method and read it.
A day later, the ship they were on appeared in the sea area where the first prince disappeared.
Coming to this sea area, the frequency of his use of the blood ring became more frequent.
The mystics on the ship with search capabilities also used their own methods to try to search for clues.
The mystic who has been in contact with the first prince, and has remembered the smell and breath of the first prince, uses his extraordinary ability to find the smell and breath of the first prince.
A occultist who has practiced the occult beast witch can control animals, controls the fish swimming in the sea, and looks for clues such as corpses and shipwrecks.
One day of searching did not yield any results. At night, everyone stopped searching and rested after dinner.
The ship is not big, and there are not many rooms. Many people need to share a room, even the elders like Feilin are no exception.
In a room, other mystics were playing blackjack with tarot cards to pass the time, while Flynn took out the book on the Ross Resonance Method to watch.
He is not interested in Tarot cards. What he wants now is to improve his learning progress in the Ross Resonance Method, an advanced and extraordinary method.
That is a full ten books. If you are too lax, you may not be able to read all of them in half a year.
After reading for more than two hours, Flynn felt drowsy, so he put down the book and prepared to go to bed.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he lost all sleepiness.
"dangerous!"
Ever since he obtained the cursed object, the card of the mind, which can enhance the perception of danger, he has always carried this cursed object with him to improve his perception of danger.
Just now, he sensed danger. Although the sense of danger was very weak, there was no doubt that it was a warning of danger.
Danger is approaching.
"Colin, use your extraordinary ability to manipulate the fish to detect around the steamship."
He looked solemnly at a blond-haired man and said.
The blond man's name is Colin Hansa, and he practices the secret art of beast witches, capable of manipulating animals.
"Yes, Elder Sox."
Hearing Flynn's order, Colin, who was playing cards, immediately obeyed the order even though he was puzzled.
Use your own abilities to manipulate the swimming fish in the sea and explore around the steamship.
Soon after, his complexion changed suddenly, and he said.
"Elder Sox, I detected someone approaching the steamship from the water."
"how many people?"
Flynn asked quickly.
"There is only one person. The other party can breathe freely underwater, and should have corresponding extraordinary abilities."
Colin replied.
"Only one person? Not good, the other party is planning to destroy the steamship!"
Felin's face changed slightly.
Only one person is obviously unable to deal with so many mystics on their ship, so the opponent is not here for the battle.
It wasn't for fighting, it was probably for destroying the steamship and sinking it.
If the steamship sinks, even if you can swim, you can at most hold on to the sea for a while longer.
"Where is the opponent?"
"In that direction."
Colin points in a direction.
Flynn quickly left the room, came to the outer deck, called out the mysterious gun, and transformed into a sniper rifle.
With the help of the extraordinary ability of seeing through the sniper rifle, he quickly found the person who was approaching the steamboat from the water.
It was a woman, swimming like a fish in the water, just like a mermaid.
Boom!
Fei Linguo disconnected the gun, a bullet flew out, got into the water, and hit one of the woman's legs.
Pfft!
The attacked leg exploded into blood mist, and a painful expression appeared on the face of the woman in the water.
Could no longer keep diving in the water, and floated to the surface.
"Fishing people up."
At this time, quite a few people heard the noise and came to the deck, Flynn ordered.
Immediately, a mystic who practiced the parasitic tree stretched out a long vine, tied it to the woman, and dragged her towards the steamboat.
The face of the woman dragged onto the steamboat was pale, one leg disappeared, there was black blood at the corner of her mouth, and the breath of life was rapidly dissipating.
"Not good, the other party took poison."
A mystic immediately stepped forward to check, and when he touched the woman, the woman's breath of life completely disappeared.
"So decisive."
The elder Eve Burns who had rushed over frowned.
Knowing that she would be arrested, the woman committed suicide decisively by taking poison.
"This woman must be related to the disappearance of the first prince. Check her body to see if you can get any clues."
Didn't expect this woman to be so decisive, Felin also frowned and said.
A occultist who practiced the secret art detective immediately squatted down, inspected the woman's body, and tried to find useful information.
After a while, he stood up and shook his head.
"There is nothing on the other party that can infer the identity of the other party, and it is impossible to judge what kind of power it is."
"It should have been considered at the beginning of the mission, the possibility of being captured if the mission fails."
"The corpses have been disposed of, and among those on duty, a mystic who can perceive underwater is added to avoid being attacked by the enemy from underwater."
Eve Burns thought about it, and ordered.
Leave one mystic who can perceive underwater, and the others return to the room.
In the room, Flynn sat on the bed, thinking of the woman just now.
‘Failed to get the mystery point, that woman is a mystic and not a cultist, that is to say, it was the mystic power that attacked the first prince, not the power of the cult organization. '
Originally, he thought that it was a cult organization that attacked the first prince, but now it seems that this guess was wrong. It was not a cult organization, but a mysterious force that attacked the first prince.
'What kind of force is it? Is it the official organization of the Karlo Kingdom, the National Security Bureau? '
Ferring first thought of the National Security Bureau, the official organization of the Karlo Kingdom.
The Karlo Kingdom has a bad relationship with the Heidelberg Kingdom, and even sent a mystic to assassinate him, the extraordinary seed of the Heidelberg Kingdom.
It is not impossible to assassinate the first prince.
‘The suspicion of the Kingdom of Porto cannot be ruled out! '
Although the relationship between the Kingdom of Porto and the Kingdom of Heidelberg has eased over the years, suspicion cannot be ruled out.
He heard that there is a force in the Kingdom of Potter, because they lost their relatives and friends in the war with the Kingdom of Heidelberg, and they are very resistant to establishing diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Heidelberg.
It is entirely possible for this force to attack the first prince who tried his best to promote the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
'There is another possibility...'
Ferrin narrowed his eyes slightly.
As far as he knew, the relationship between the first prince and the second prince was not good, or even bad, because of their political differences.
Combined with the succession of the throne, it is entirely possible for the second prince to take risks and take action against the first prince.
‘I don’t need to think about this kind of thing, I am only responsible for search and rescue. '
Flynn shook his head, putting all kinds of thoughts behind him.
He doesn't intend to get involved in the royal family's infighting, because it's not good for him to get involved.
