Chapter 148

The night fell, and the sky of Albana was surrounded by a black curtain. The bright yellow moon hung in the sky like a salted egg yolk that had been bitten.

In the palace.

In order to celebrate Dr. Clover's discovery of the whereabouts of Pluto hidden in the historical text, Tikola specially held a grand banquet. The long banquet table was filled with delicious food.

"Daro, look at such a big turkey!" Bear pointed to a pit turkey in the middle of the table, which was placed on a silver plate as big as a round basin, and said, looking like he was going to eat it with relish.

This giant turkey is a specialty of Albana. It is said that a poor man had no choice but to dig a pit in the sand and grill it with charcoal because he had no stove.

Of course, the turkey at the banquet was a luxurious version that had been improved countless times by the chef of the palace, and it looked very tempting.

"Haha, do you want it? I'll help you get it!" Olbia smiled, pulled off a chicken leg generously and handed it to the bear.

Black cat Blige was eyeing a yellow croaker on the table and was clumsily picking the fish bones with chopsticks.

"Doctor, I toast you a glass."

When the wine was drunk, Tikola, who was sitting in the main seat, walked up to Dr. Clover with a goblet, and said affectionately by his hand.

At this time, Tikola didn't know that his confidant minister Yuhe had gathered a large group of people and was heading towards the palace, intending to pull him down from the throne, so he still had a leisurely look.

He had even begun to prepare to go to the old site of Shahua to search for the "Ark of Hope·Namib" in three days. Taking the opportunity of toasting, Tikola formally invited the doctor and Darrow:

"Everyone, I plan to lead people to the desert to search for Namib in three days. I sincerely invite you to join our search team again."

Hearing this, Cobra jumped up from his seat and looked at his father worriedly.

At this time when the domestic situation is so critical, his father actually wants to leave the capital for the illusory Ark of Hope. This is simply... abandoning his own people.

"..." Cobra clenched his fists and did not speak. He just looked at his father deeply, as if he had made some important decision.

In the pirate world, there is a huge class gap between the nobles and the people. The nobles who are high above are completely disdainful of the lower-class people, and even regard them as inferior species.

This kind of arrogance is deeply engraved in the blood of all nobles, and the worst is the Celestial Dragons. As a descendant of the twenty kings, Tikora actually holds the same mentality.

But Cobra is different. A good education makes him sympathize with the people in dire straits from the bottom of his heart, just like Sabo. For this reason, he can even rebel against his respected father.

What's more, he doesn't want to rebel against his father. The heir of the Kingdom of Alabasta just thinks that he succeeded a little too late.

On the other side, Darrow seemed to see the little thoughts in Cobra's heart, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and then patted the other's shoulder to show his approval.

Unlike Crocodile, Darrow did not want to be a pirate who subverted the national regime, but Darrow, who had received education in his previous life, was very pleased to see Cobra's behavior.

Just when the atmosphere began to become strange, a noise came from outside the door of the hall.

Then, a group of armored soldiers holding axes and swords entered in succession and surrounded the entire palace. The leader was the country's top minister, Yuhe.

"What...what's going on?"

The slow-reacting Tikola jumped up from his seat. It was obvious that the king who was obsessed with archaeology had lost control of his own king, so that he was unaware of Yuhe's coup.

"Yuhe, are you going to rebel?" Cobra frowned and stared at Yuhe fiercely.

"Rebellion? Your Highness, you are joking. We are just arresting criminals in the palace." The fat man Yuhe waved his hand and said.

"Criminals! What criminals?" Tikola asked back in confusion.

"King, you may not know that a group of swindlers have recently come to the capital, claiming that they have an inexhaustible "magic jar" that can pour out water without restraint. Tell me, isn't this nonsense?"

"I guess they are not only swindlers, but also have other intentions. We must catch them.

Let's investigate it thoroughly, so as not to harm you, the king. "Yohe said righteously, as if he was really loyal.

"Ha, minister, you worry too much, they are all my old friends, how can they harm me." Tikola still didn't understand the situation, thinking that the other party really came to arrest criminals, and explained to Yohe.

Of course, Yohe would not listen to Tikola's explanation. He ignored the other party completely, drew out the sword in his hand, and shouted to the soldiers behind him:

"Did you hear that? That group of liars deceived the king and hid evil intentions. Why don't you take them down quickly?"

After the voice fell, the soldiers behind Yohe roared, and they rushed into the banquet hall one by one, surrounded Darrow and Dr. Clover, and even Tikola was restrained.

At this point, no matter how stupid Tikola was, he understood Yohe's tricks. Arresting criminals was just a cover for the other party.

"Yohe, you are crazy. "Tikola looked at him angrily, his chest rising and falling like a bellows.

"Crazy? Of course I'm not crazy." Yuhe stretched out his hand and said smugly, then his face suddenly became ferocious:

"Tikola, how can you be king when you are born? And I need to climb up from the poor step by step, do you know how much I have suffered?"

"I used to think that the nobles were supernatural, but after I became a minister, I found that you guys are just good-for-nothings. If that's the case, why can't I be the king? "Yeh said with a grin as he pointed the tip of his sword at Tikola.

As the first minister who managed a country, Yoeh's ability was quite good.

At this time, he was also very clear that as long as he controlled the situation in the palace and got the "magic jar", he could control the water resources of the entire country through the dancing powder and the magic jar.

Thinking of this, Yoeh couldn't help getting agitated. He waved his hand and the soldiers behind him rushed towards Daro and his men.

In Yoeh's view, no matter how strong Daro and his men were, they could not defeat the army he brought with him. As long as he defeated Daro and his men, his ambition to become the king here would have been realized by half.

But obviously, he was wrong.

Daro, who had been watching, smiled cruelly at the soldiers rushing towards him:

"Numbers are useless to us..."

The next second, the terrifying Overlord Sevia suddenly broke out with Daro as the center and wreaked havoc throughout the palace.
