He felt something was not right.
"We are sure, my lord, that those cultists are all from the Prophet's Path, and judging by the traces, they had been wandering around the Saragan caravan disguised as a slave-hunting team."
"A disguised Saragan slave-hunting party?"
Gao Wen was a little confused.
"Yes, my lord. According to our investigation, those people came from the Saragan area. There are 31 people in total, including five extraordinary people, two mid-sequence people, and three low-sequence people. The rest are also experienced Saragan veterans who have experienced many fierce battles! They are a very elite and powerful team!"
"Then why do you say they are in the same group? Shouldn't this be a group of shady Light Cultists hiding next to the Saragan Slave Catching Team to attract their attention?"
"We thought so at first, but we found this right where Miss Hepburn was kidnapped!"
As he spoke, a knight presented a scroll.
After Gao Wen opened it doubtfully, his pupils suddenly shrank:
"Go forward to the wolf's castle, the Lord's messenger will lead the evil wolf away for you, and you will meet the lamb that represents luck. Lead the lamb forward and go to where she should go! Then, you will get everything you deserve!"
"I recognize this handwriting. Sanchez, the infamous Sanchez, the last angel of foresight in the world. How dare this guy extend his claws to the Wolf family!"
As a High Sequence who had guarded the Northern Border for many years, Gawain naturally knew the notes and origins of many famous figures.
So after he recognized whose notebook it was, he clenched his fist and roared:
"Investigate this with all your strength! I will make these damned cultists pay with blood!"
"Please rest assured, my lord. Our comrades have already determined the route of the airship. Their destination is southern Heather. We will definitely bring Miss Hepburn back safely!"
-
The airship, which was originally scheduled to go to the south of Heise, had now changed its course and turned to Nuremberg without anyone noticing under the skilled operation of the captain.
This allowed them to miraculously avoid being hunted down by the people from the North.
It also successfully made fate go in the direction of Sanchez and the prophecy of Sequence Zero.
The captain, who had already decided to rob the robbers, continued his daily sailing without any tension.
It was the "normality" of the past two days that made the Saragans gradually relax their vigilance.
However, the leader of Saragan was a little unhappy these two days because the prophecy book he had kept close to him was missing. It was a prophecy given to him by a prophet who he had encountered by chance when the Great Unclean One was rampaging.
Because of the great mystery above, he left Saragan and came to the north according to the instructions of the prophecy, heading towards the Wolf Castle mentioned in the prophecy.
As a result, he was lucky enough to catch a precious elf on the road, and even later he was lucky enough to catch Audrey.
This made him believe in the prophecy even more firmly, but the problem was that such a precious book of prophecy was inexplicably lost!
This made him very uneasy at first, after all, the prophecy also mentioned the evil wolves. However, as the past few days were peaceful, he gradually relaxed his vigilance and thought that he should be rescued by the messenger of the Lord.
Now all he has to do is sell the elves and live the rich life he deserves!
Thinking of this, his whole body seemed to feel numb.
I couldn't help but lazily sit down on the deck. Wait, why am I so relaxed all of a sudden? I was never so casual before.
Suddenly, the team leader realized something was wrong.
But it was too late, because he was no longer sitting on the deck, but collapsed directly on it.
It was also at this moment that he saw in a daze that the captain was shaking the incense in his hand with a sarcastic look in his eyes.
It turns out it’s not food or assassination but the perfumer? !
Although the leader's consciousness gradually became confused, he quickly understood the key.
In order to avoid being robbed by their own gangs, they had been eating the food and water they brought with them, and even took turns to rest. But they didn't expect that the opponent's method was to breathe...
The leader didn't feel bad about losing in this area, because it was something he couldn't avoid. It's just that he didn't understand.
Didn't the prophecy say that he would be saved from the wolves by the Messenger of the Lord? Shouldn't he get everything that was his
In this state of confusion and puzzlement, the team leader felt completely dizzy.
The captain who had knocked down an elite slave-hunting team with incense walked over to the leader with great joy. He kicked him to make sure he was really fainted, and then said to the crew with disdain:
"Okay, strip them of their belongings and throw them off the boat!"
Following the crew's eager actions, the captain also walked to the deck and looked down at the Sarakans who were getting smaller and smaller until they disappeared completely. After blowing a whistle, the captain took out a scroll from his arms that was similar to the one the leader had, but seemed to be from an earlier time.
"Wait, the gift representing the future will be automatically delivered to you by the fools. When the time comes, please take this generous gift and present it to the noble people. In this way, you will see an unparalleled reward!"
Looking at the prophecy scroll in his hand, the captain couldn't help scratching his head and said:
"I had almost forgotten about this thing. Hey, it turns out to be pretty accurate!"
This was something that was given to him many years ago when he was just a crew member by a man wearing a half mask who claimed to be a prophet.
It had been so long that he had almost forgotten about it, but after hearing the team leader say yesterday that he was looking for a scroll, he remembered it again.
Although this seems to be a bit of hindsight now, since it was accurate all those years ago, doesn’t that mean he is going to make a fortune? !
So the captain walked into the cabin whistling and lifted the cover of the prison car.
Then he and Audrey stared at each other.
Why is there only one elf
Why did you change people
But for some reason, the elf was still sleeping, and no matter how Audrey called her in the past two days, there was no response.
-
As the elves approached, even the once prosperous Nuremberg fell into an unspeakable depression.
Many refugees huddled in fear and anxiety under the eaves of the already overcrowded street corners, while those who had more money left Nuremberg early and rushed to Florence to seek refuge.
Of course, in addition to these, there were many more soldiers who came from all over the place and were constantly moving around and carrying things.
In order to resist the invasion of the elves, Nuremberg is the place where the Chamber of Commerce has invested the most.
Although the many previous failures had dealt a heavy blow to the confidence of the Merchant Alliance soldiers, as more and more supplies and troops poured in, they still felt that they could fight the elves.
In the newly built temporary dock, Mozzo, wearing a hood, quietly followed the crowd to Nuremberg.
After taking a look at the bleak scenery around him, Mozo lowered his hat and began to move in the intended direction. He planned to wait until Lola Lis began to connect with the elves before taking action.
Because according to the custom of the elves, when negotiating an alliance with distinguished guests, they will not take the initiative to initiate any attack actions.
The Merchant Alliance, which was stunned by the elves, would not be able to take advantage of the opportunity to attack. They needed time to maintain and repair their defenses.
So that was the best time for whatever he wanted to do.
Otherwise, Mozo would not want to advance under the fire.
After wandering around, Mozo found a tavern with vacant rooms. As soon as he entered, he regretted coming here.
This place is full of mercenaries who are eating and drinking to their heart's content.
Mozo knew that the Merchant Alliance had been constantly seeking help from neighboring countries in order to deal with the elves' attack, but because of its bad reputation and continuous collapse, no neighboring country was willing to help.
Therefore, the wealthy nobles of the Merchant Alliance recruited mercenaries with high salaries, regardless of whether these people could be used or not.
The mercenaries, who are trading their heads for money, will definitely not miss this opportunity. Moreover, if they can capture one or two elves during the war, they will make a lot of money.
But this group of people also means trouble and a lot of trouble.
It is common for them to hack people when they disagree with something. After all, mercenaries in wartime often use alcohol to numb their frightened hearts, and it is not surprising that a drunk person would do anything.
Mozo wanted to quit immediately, but when he was leaving, he suddenly heard a drunken mercenary complaining:
"Earlier today, I was on my way to work. Suddenly, dozens of people fell from the sky. They almost crushed me to death!"
"After taking a closer look, I saw a bunch of Saragans who had been robbed of all their money!"
At that time, a bunch of human bombs flew down from the sky and scared him half to death!
Hearing this, the mercenary beside him immediately thought and said:
"The Saragans? Or did they fall from the sky? So they must have been robbed by the villains!"
Another mercenary also said seriously:
"Yes, most of the time they boarded an unreliable boat, and then were discovered to have caught a big fish, and ended up being robbed by the thieves!"
This kind of thing is not rare but not uncommon either.
So the mercenaries just let it go after hearing it, but Mozo immediately took it to heart.
Gao Wen had just informed him that Audrey had been kidnapped, and one of the kidnappers was from Saragan.
Although Mozo was anxious at the time, he had no better solution and could only believe that Gao Wen and the others could solve the problem smoothly.
But after what happened here today, Mozo's face turned strange.
Audrey was wearing a lucky bracelet, and even after he faked her death last time, the lucky bracelet still sent Audrey to him in a strange way.
This time Audrey was involved in so many things and events.
He also heard that some Saragans were suspected of being robbed by others...
After rubbing his eyebrows, Mozo put on his hood and walked up to the group of mercenaries.
"Everyone, can you explain it in detail? Don't worry, the drinks are on me!"
170 The Invisible (4k)
The mercenaries at the table looked at Mozo curiously. Then the mercenary who had told the news earlier grinned at Mozo's small figure.
He deliberately lifted his clothes to reveal his strong arms and sword and said:
"We can't drink with just anyone."
Mozo shrugged and placed a Duze gold coin and a revolver on the table.
Looking at these two things, the mercenary's arrogance was suppressed a lot. At first, the man put down his clothes and asked:
"Are you from Duze?"
The People of Light might not be that powerful, but they should be cautious when someone can just casually take out a gold coin and a gun to talk to them.
Mozo neither denied nor admitted it and pushed the gold coin forward.
"Can you tell me now?"
The mercenary hesitated for a moment before accepting the Duze gold coin and said:
"Of course, but you may be disappointed, because although what I encountered was outrageous, it didn't seem to be of much use. Because those Sarakens had all turned into meat paste. If it weren't for their conspicuous brown skin and loose clothes, I wouldn't even be sure that they were a group of Sarakens!"
"Besides, all the money and valuables on them had been taken away in advance. They didn't even leave me a knife!"
The mercenary seemed very angry when he said this. He was almost smashed to death on the spot but got nothing. He was really annoyed.
But if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to get a Du Ze gold coin.
Mozo nodded and asked:
"Did you see from what direction the airship which dropped these Saragans came, and where it was going?"
The mercenary recalled carefully before saying:
"Southwest, that airship came from the southwest! As for where it's going, to be honest, I think it's Nuremberg!"
Then Mozo asked the other party a few more questions. After the other party answered them one by one, Mozo left again, leaving a Duze gold coin as a reward.
Southwest is the direction of the North. The Saragans and the missing Audrey and 1-86.
Although there is no conclusive evidence yet, this alone is enough for Mozo to take action. According to the characteristics provided by the mercenary.
Mozo judged that it was an ordinary civilian airship, and it should be a very old model, such as the Horn Witch type manufactured by Loran or the Harrier type manufactured by Heather. At the same time, he took into account the identity of the other party's smuggling boat.
If this airship is to land in Nuremberg, it should not go to a temporary dock, but to a large dock that is still open to the public, because old smuggling airships that have been landing in the wild for many years are prone to malfunction and need frequent maintenance. The temporary dock does not have this capability.
So, what about the large shipyards that are not under military control and are being developed externally
After thinking for a while, Mozo called a carriage at a high price and rushed to Dock No. 7 in the north of the city.
Even more fortunately, he happened to see an old-fashioned Harrier airship here.
The other party is currently undergoing maintenance!
Looking around, Mozo relied on his extraordinary physique to easily sneak into the staff room of the dock. A moment later, Mozo changed into the repairman's clothes and entered the Harrier airship very reasonably.
Pretending to perform maintenance, Mozo placed his hands on the airship and began writing a book.
