The Black Duke of the Pirate

Chapter 62 062. The Reef
There seemed to be a blazing gleam in his eyes, but Clovis didn't notice.

"Okay." Clovis stood up from the chair and took the long sword at his waist in his hand, "You protect my safety, get rid of Ketok and I will be the new king, and I will satisfy you everything Require."

Court swordsman... Is this about to enter the power struggle in Polkaya... Li Xiao couldn't help but whisper in his heart. After waiting for so long and doing so many things, he finally came to this step. The next step is to be in Keto In the struggle between K and Clovis, to strengthen their own armed forces.

"I am willing to serve you, Your Royal Highness." Li Xiao lowered her head and said in a deep voice.The scar on his left eye was deliberately covered by the tiger-head hat, and if he took it off at this time, he would find that it was extremely red.

"Baron." Clovis turned his gaze to the other side, and Barron stepped forward and said, "Your Highness."

"How about the deal with Reef?"

"They don't want to get involved in the fighting within the kingdom."

Dawn froze slightly, Clovis was looking for a hidden reef...?
Anjiao is one of the three major gangs in Beihai. Unlike Mai Lin, Mailin's main business is drug and arms trading, while Anjiao's main business is assassination, intermediary, and information trafficking.There are quite a few members in the Reef, but most of the members are intermediaries and information traffickers. There are very few members in the assassination business, but every member is an elite of the Reef.

"Add three times the price." After hearing that, Clovis didn't change his mood. It seemed that these things were within his expectations.

"Your Highness." Barron's voice suddenly increased: "It is not advisable to have too much contact with people from the "reef."

"Forget it." Clovis seemed to reply in a discouraged manner, "Maybe it was a wrong choice to find a hidden reef."

Barron turned his eyes, glanced at Li Xiao, and then said: "Chauvin may have been a member of "Dark Reef" long ago."

Clovis was shocked, and felt that he had really made a wrong decision before, and there was an imperceptible stern emotion in his eyes: "You mean that the old guy Ketok knew about our contact with the reef up?"

"High probability." Barron nodded.

"Reinhardt, what do you think?" Clovis suddenly turned his head and asked him, Li Xiao looked up and replied: "The reef may be one of Ketok's trump cards."

These words they said did not evade in front of Liming. Liming couldn't figure out what Clovis was really thinking for a while, but Clovis was born in the royal family and was in a dangerous situation all the year round. The city's scheming is not as weak as it appears. Otherwise, the past two years would not be as stable as a mountain.

Clovis was thoughtful, "Father's health has been getting worse recently."

He suddenly changed the topic and returned to the seat: "Maybe he will be in the coffin soon."

Barron was shocked, knowing that the certain balance that Ketok and Clovis had maintained was about to be broken. Whoever strikes first to eliminate the other party may win the final victory.

"The reef can't be counted on." Barron said in a deep voice, Clovis looked up at dawn, and suddenly said: "Reinhardt, if you do it, what is the success rate?"

Assassinate Ketok?
If that old guy was so easy to kill, he would have been killed long ago, so why would he wait until now.

Li Xiao was silent for a while. If it succeeded, everything would be fine. If it failed, he might be sold by Clovis on the spot.

This is for sure.

Is that why he deliberately told himself about the "reef"?Do you want to refuse... At dawn, it was a bit difficult to ride a tiger.

As a prince, Clovis is not an idiot. Dawn uses Clovis to achieve certain goals, and Clovis will naturally use Dawn to achieve a certain measure. Letting him assassinate Ketok is not only a test, but also A kind of exploration of his true strength.

He didn't want to be a pawn that would be discarded at any time, so he frowned and replied in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I don't want to participate in the palace struggle of the kingdom. I'm here only to protect your safety."

Li Xiao raised her head and stared closely at the change in Clovis' eyes, and then said, "Besides, there is swordsman Chauvin beside Ketok, and no one is close."

Clovis looked a little uncertain, stared at him for a while and asked, "The last time you fought Chauvin, how does his strength compare to yours?"

"He can become invisible at any time after eating the transparent fruit. It's too easy to kill a person." Li Xiao didn't answer directly. As a prince of the kingdom, he naturally knew about the devil fruit.

"What if he's going to kill me?" said Clovis suddenly.

"Without my protection, His Highness will die, and with me, he has a [-]% chance of failure."

Clovis was slightly shocked, and fell silent, the emotion in his eyes was well concealed.

If Ketok sent Chauvin to assassinate Clovis before, there is a high probability of success, but Clovis has no fear at all. Isn't it true that he is not afraid of death?
He recalled in his mind the first time he saw Chauvin, and it happened that it was not far from Clovis's mansion. Infiltrating is also very simple. Isn't it easy to kill Clovis?

Why in the end, Ketok has not done anything?He had a strange feeling in his heart, always feeling that things would not be so simple.

"That's why I invited you here, you just need to keep me safe until I become the new king." Clovis' eyes moved slightly, looking at Li Dawn and replied.

Li Xiao naturally had no objection, the duty of the court swordsman was to be responsible for the prince's safety in addition to teaching the prince's sword skills.

The three of them talked together for a while, and then they were arranged to live in a room in the mansion at dawn.

At night, the palace was brightly lit, and at dawn, after drinking and eating, a person was going to stroll nearby.

In the courtyard of the Clovis Palace, independent courtyards are connected to each other. The curtains on the walls emit golden light at night. These golden lights cover most of the palace. Even if the lights are not turned on, the surrounding environment is still like daytime.

He walked for a while, and suddenly saw a figure appearing in front of him.

"Who are you?" The man said suddenly, his tone a bit cold and wary.

Only then did Li Xiao see the person in front of her. She was a blond woman. Although she was a little shorter than herself, she was also close to 1.8 meters tall. Her upper body was a light blue waistcoat with a front open front, and a golden chest was tied. She wears a bow tie, a pink shirt inside, a tight-fitting skirt of the same color on her lower body, and crimson patterned high-heeled boots on her feet. A rapier about 1.1 meters long hangs from her left waist, in the style of a foil sword.

She looked warily at the dawn that suddenly appeared in front of her.

With blond hair and blue eyes, and a particularly delicate face, coupled with this attire, Li Xiao couldn't help but keep looking at her.

"Pervert, what are you looking at?" The blond girl shouted, then drew out the foil sword from her waist with her right hand, and stabbed towards Li Dawn: "Look at the sword!"
