Chapter 2015: Chapter 1359: Banquet Mystery (Nine)_1

Before the evening concert began, Shiller wanted to find someone to accompany him. He went to Strange's room, but the waiter said he was not there. Loki seemed to be busy with something, so Shiller had to go alone to the concert hall on the fourth floor.

As the entrance time was fixed, Shiller, who had arrived a bit early, could only wait at the entrance. Fortunately, most of the guests who came here had the habit of arriving early, so most people were waiting at the entrance.

While Shiller was observing the patterns on a vase beside him, a youthful voice sounded next to him, "Hello, sir, may I have a chat with you now?"

Shiller turned his head and saw a humanoid youth. The reason for calling him humanoid was because his skin was blue, with a head full of dense black hair tied into many braids scattered behind his head.

His outfit was somewhat reminiscent of an African tribal chief on Earth. Although the color and material of the decorations were different, you could still discern a hint of undomesticated tribal spirit.

The youth extended a hand with a smile, and said, "Hello, I'm Prince Aran from the Centauri Dodell Federation. Humans would shake hands as a greeting, right?"

Shiller extended his hand and shook his, saying, "Yes, your etiquette is very perfect, but what is it you wanted to discuss with me?"

"Oh, it's like this." The young Prince Aran revealed a somewhat embarrassed smile, he said, "I went to see the Supreme Magician of Earth twice. The first time, the waiter said he was soaking in the hot springs. The second time, the waiter said he was not in his room and did not know where he was."

"There are not many humans here, and I only saw you in the corridor just now. Actually, I just wanted to ask when the Supreme Magician will be free? When can I find him?"

The youth was straightforward, but did not find distaste in anyone. Shiller was a little curious, he asked, "What do you need the Supreme Magician for?"

"Oh, it's nothing big." Aran revealed a somewhat distressed expression, seemingly not wanting to disclose this to Shiller. However, looking at Shiller's expression, he felt that if he doesn't speak, this human probably wouldn't tell him where the Supreme Magician is.

Aran also knew that the humans who could appear here must have their unique features. Perhaps they could help, so he sighed and wore a sorrowful expression, "Recently, a very troublesome interstellar pirate gang came to our galaxy. Their boss, Yondu, is a notorious interstellar pirate."

"There's nothing much to plunder in our galaxy, but he just won't leave. My father's tribe and several other larger tribes banded together to resist him, but we were all defeated by him."

"So, you want to seek the help of the Supreme Magician to defeat Yondu?" Shiller asked.

"Oh no, not that." The young prince said somewhat nervously, "We wouldn't trouble the Supreme Magician with such a trivial matter! We also can't afford the price for that. But I heard that there is a Holy Sanctuary under the control of the Supreme Magician, which takes care of all kinds of negotiations in the cosmos."

"I actually just wanted to find the Holy Sanctuary and ask them to send someone to ask what Yondu is up to. If he wants money, we'll give it to him, if he has nothing to do, he should leave. Our place is a poor and remote area, there's nothing for him to rob."

"So, you're looking for the Holy Sanctuary. Then, you've asked the right person." Shiller smiled, took out a credential from his suit pocket and handed it to the young prince.

After Aran finished reading, he exclaimed surprisingly, "Oh my God, you were the top salesperson of the Holy Sanctuary last quarter?!"

Aran looked at Shiller with glowing eyes. Shiller gave a smile, patted Aran's shoulder and said, "Let's move over there to talk."

The two came to a place far away from the crowd. Next to the window on the fourth floor of the Fairy Palace, Shiller looked into Aran's eyes and asked, "You said that Yondu and his Ravager Team are staying in your galaxy without leaving. Do you know why they would do so?"

"If we knew, we wouldn't be so bothered." Aran could be considered deeply worried, he muttered, "Our galaxy really doesn't have anything that should catch their attention."

"Does your galaxy have any other special aspects? Special aspects other than resources or important treasures."

Aran pondered a moment and said, "Centaurus has always been a rather chaotic place, where all the interstellar civilizations exist in the form of tribes. There are probably thousands of tribes in the entire galaxy."

"Among them, many are like humans, their civilization has not yet emerged from their mother... oh, don't be surprised, I have also heard of humans. You are quite famous, especially after the business of the Holy Sanctuary expanded to Centaurus. We were quite surprised."

Aran shrugged, smiled and said, "Everyone knows that the Holy Sanctuary is the 'Yorozuya' of the cosmos. If there's any strange problem, looking for them will definitely solve it."

"I digress, our galaxy is not very developed, and there are not many resources. If we were to point out a characteristic, it would be one word - chaos."

"Because of certain historical origins, there are many strange civilizations and powers here, some of which are simply unpredictable. For example, there is a planet where intelligent plants live. They are even able to stretch out tentacles to travel in space."

"Of course, there are also some unknown dark areas." Aran lowered his voice and said, "This is actually an open secret. Everyone knows, but the current situation in Centaurus, in fact, was caused by the Three Great Empires."

Aran looked left and right as if he was afraid of being heard by others. He darted his eyes and said, "There are many planets and star zones here, which are once the experimental fields of the Three Great Empires."

"Because there are many races here and the population is mixed, it can be said that it is a no man's land. If anything happened, no one would care, and there are a variety of specimens available for experiments. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Three Great Empires would choose to conduct certain experiments here."

"Of course, there are Demon Gods here, but no famous Major Demons. There are some peculiar energy beings claiming to be Demon Gods, but they don't have their own dimensions. They simply curl up in corners of the universe."

Shiller nodded and asked, "So, when did Yondu roughly go to your place?"

"About two months ago." Aran crossed his arms, a reminiscing expression on his face. He rolled his eyes upward, thinking and speaking, "Around two months ago, we discovered a starship, obviously much more advanced than our technology here, parked in the Dodel Federation's Star Port."

"Of course, we are not so advanced as to have a lot of spaceships coming and going, this star port is just for parking small ships. At first, we thought that the large ship was a vehicle for trade from another advanced civilization, so we didn't bother about it."

"But one day, someone said that they had seen the infamous Interstellar Pirate Yondu in a nightclub on the surface of a Dodel Federation's planet. Only then did we realize that it was the pirates' ship."

"Since Yondu had already gone to the surface of a planet, couldn't you send people to follow him and see what he was up to?" Shiller asked.

"Of course, we did that, but for some reason, Yondu seems to be in no hurry. Usually, these ravagers come and go quickly, rob and run, never linger around. But this time, Yondu strolled around the various planets of the Dodel Federation as if he was touring."

Shiller stroked his chin and then said, "If the Interstellar Pirates are indeed space pirates as you say, they certainly wouldn't waste time on something unprofitable."

"That's what I think too!" Aran stomped his foot and said, "But my dad thinks that as long as Yondu doesn't cause trouble, we don't need to bother him. But I know, if we wait until they mess things up, it'll be too late!"

Shiller nodded and said, "I think your view is right, anything abnormal indicates trouble. You said your universe doesn't have any treasures or resources worth seeking, so what about people? Could Yondu be looking for someone?"

"Looking for someone?" Aran repeated the phrase, then blanked for a moment, then squinted his eyes and said with some surprise, "Who is he coming here to look for?"

"As you said, Centaurus is a mixed bag, so maybe his mission target is hiding here, so he keeps loitering around your federation territory. It looks like he's touring, but he's actually looking for someone."

Aran seemed to understand. He paused, glanced to one side, and then said, "Right, I've heard that these interstellar pirates also do kidnapping and assassination jobs. If their mission target indeed ran to our star system, Yondu might really stay here for some time."

But Aran felt helpless afterwards. He spread his hands and said, "But who knows who he wants to find? If he can't find the person, is he just going to wait there? Will we still be able to live peacefully?"

"Don't worry yet." Shiller reassured him, saying, "Although we just happened to meet here, I'm not alone. Don't forget, Holy Sanctuary is known as the handyman of the universe. Even in the chaotic Centaurus, we plan to figure it out...I'll go back and call them now."

"I really appreciate it." Aran sincerely shook hands with Shiller and said, "Don't worry, I understand the rules. The federation has stored quite a lot of energy. Once the Divine King's wedding is over, I'll go to the Holy Sanctuary and get the membership card."

Shiller gave him an "OK" sign, pulled out his phone, walked to the other side of the corridor, and dialed Holy Sanctuary's number.

"Hello, it's me, Shiller, I would like to ask about the recent situation in Centaurus, I should have this right, right? ... Yes, that's right, if there are any strange people or special events."

"Yes, I already know that the Interstellar Pirate fleet has arrived there, I'm investigating why they've come there...Is that so? Are you sure?"

"...Okay, I got it, thank you."

Shiller walked back to Aran, looking him in the eyes, and spoke in a serious manner, "I'd advise you not to get involved in this."

Aran was somewhat surprised and froze. He didn't understand why Shiller suddenly became so serious. Shiller pursed his lips, looked into Aran's eyes, and said, "Yondu is hunting an animal. That animal carries important information."

"Hunting an animal, what animal?"

"A raccoon."

"A raccoon?" Aran repeated Shiller's answer with surprise, but he actually had no clue what a raccoon was.

Aran felt frustrated, and was about to say something when Shiller interrupted him. He spoke first, saying, "The information on that raccoon might involve the secret struggle between the Three Great Empires."

Aran immediately shut up in a fright, but he was still worried about the safety of his race. So, he asked with a somewhat trembling voice, "Will it involve us?"

Shiller turned to look out of the Fairy Palace window and said, "You shouldn't be asking me, you should be asking that raccoon."

Shiller took his gaze back from outside the window of the Fairy Palace and refocused it on the body of the Queen of Xiea lying on the ground.

His focus fell on the queen's face. At this moment, three sharp claw marks were on her beautiful face. The wounds were a horrendous sight with mangled flesh and blood.
