Seeing German Sparrow put on his coat, hat, and pick up his cane, Dhaniz realized that he had been forgotten.
He coughed and said under the two pairs of eyes,
"W-do I need to go with you?"
It's best not … Who knows what will happen!? Previously, he was only temporarily off duty in West Harbor, but he had encountered a rather strange incident. Last night, he had brought German Sparrow to visit the Resistance's liaison, but he ended up incurring the curse of Sea God. Today, he was following this madman to investigate Leticia and the few archaeologists. Who knew what would happen! Dhaniz looked down at his left arm, which was still bound with a splint. He felt that in the past few days, he had encountered more things than he had in the past few months, or even half a year.
"You can stay here, but someone will come to investigate later." Erland chuckled.
Someone will investigate? Then, the great pirate, Blazing, will be caught and turned into gold pounds? Dhaniz frowned and laughed dryly.
"Apart from receiving bounties, there aren't many opportunities to earn money from the military. I'm very willing to give it a try.
"The only problem is that you will have to wait a few minutes. I'll put on a disguise, Mr. Captain. I don't wish to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings and put you in a difficult position."
If I don't put on a disguise, I'll only be pinned down on the spot and arrested when I, a great pirate, work with the military and the Church … Dhaniz imagined himself being pinned down, kneeled in the back, and struggling like a catfish.
Erland thought for a few seconds, took out an iron-black mask from his inner pocket, and threw it over.
"Just wear it. I'll explain the rest."
Yes, there's no need to waste time on a disguise that isn't very useful … Klein evaluated inwardly.
He didn't say a word as he turned the handle and walked out the door.
Erland followed closely behind. Dhaniz, who was wearing the iron mask and taking off his coat, hurriedly chased after them.
When they came to a street with a lot of puddles and no pedestrians, Klein pressed down on his hat.
"How do we find them?"
Erland smiled.
"Search by area.
"My Beyonder job has some characteristics. As long as I see a real person, a picture, or a sketch, I can firmly remember the target's appearance and obtain additional senses at the Beyonder level. Yes, I can also detect abnormal factors and grasp inconspicuous traces. By combining the two, I can carry out an effective investigation."
Sequence 8 Sheriff of the Arbiter pathway … Klein nodded in thought. As he walked, he asked, "What about you?
"Do you have their belongings?"
Leticia's portrait was attached to the notice that Dhaniz had posted last night. This was completed by Klein using ritualistic magic and praying to himself.
"No." Erland shook his head. "We haven't figured out their previous whereabouts. What we can confirm is that they only returned from Symeem Island at around three o 'clock yesterday afternoon. After two o' clock, no passenger ships left the port. Due to the weather this morning, they only entered but not left."
In other words, Leticia and the others haven't left by ship yet … Klein understood what Erland meant.
Dhaniz suddenly scoffed.
"That doesn't mean anything. Perhaps they had already left Bayam yesterday afternoon and headed for other cities on the island."
Blue Mountain Island was the largest island in the Rorsted Archipelago. It covered a large area and was rich in forests and mineral resources. Therefore, there were many cities on the island. They were built around the fertile land and astonishing mineral reserves.
For this wealth, the Rouen Kingdom first bribed the native princes, then forced them by force. Finally, they directly established the governor-general's office. In a more efficient manner, they opened up wide roads that connected the various cities and completed a few important railroads. This was done in the form of establishing the corresponding railroad companies and selling shares at the Baekeland Stock Exchange to raise funds.
Of course, these large projects were accompanied by the deaths of many locals. The dangerous construction environment, the excessive work, the treatment that was close to slavery, and the rather meager salaries caused one corpse after another to be buried under the roadbed and railway sleepers.
To this day, a large number of locals still hated the railroad, believing that it had devoured a large number of lives and brought about countless suffering. It was a symbol of evil gods and devils.
Erland turned his head to glance at Dhaniz.
"If they leave by land, then there's nothing to worry about."
"Why?" Dhaniz asked in puzzlement.
Very simple. Those roads pass through the jungle and are directly threatened by the Resistance. And most of the Resistance are believers of Sea God. Therefore, how would Leticia and company, who were the cause of Cavituis's collapse, dare to pass through these areas at night? If they dare to, it can only mean one thing. They don't realize how serious the consequences of what they did in the Sea God ruins on Symeem Island would be. This also negates the speculation that the Moses Ascetic Order or the Element Dawn have other plans … Klein controlled the urge to shake his head and followed Erland into another street.
Erland didn't explain anything. He took out a notice and handed it to German Sparrow.
"The main target is this woman on it."
This woman was drawn by me … Klein glanced at it and threw it to Dhaniz.
At this moment, they heard the sounds of an intense battle coming from a house to the side.
"Found it?" Dhaniz asked the question Klein wanted to ask.
"Probably not." Erland shook his head. "According to the arrangements, after discovering the main target, the first reaction is to release red fireworks. As long as this happens, everyone has to approach that place. If they encounter other wanted criminals that they can't deal with, orange fireworks will be released. The surrounding teams will rush over to provide reinforcements. If it's just ordinary pirates or criminals, they can handle it themselves. Let's wait and see. Perhaps there's no time to release the fireworks … "
As he spoke, the glass on the third floor of the house facing the street shattered with a crack. A bear-like man jumped down and ran into the distance at an extremely fast speed like a cheetah.
At this moment, a huge shadow enveloped him, and the sound of gunfire came from high up in the sky.
The burly man's body was nearly torn apart by the machine gun bullets as he collapsed on the street without any resistance. Blood flowed out and dyed the ground red. If it weren't for the fact that residents were forbidden from leaving their homes, there would definitely be screams.
At some point in time, the airship that had floated over didn't stop moving away as it turned elsewhere.
"… Goltat." Dhaniz recognized the deceased.
Seeing German Sparrow turn his head to look at him, he forced a smile and said, "This is the leader of a pirate crew.
He's from Feysac, and his bounty is 950 pounds. "
People from Feysac … Are they really all barbarians … To think that they're running on the streets under martial law, completely unaware of the attacks from above … That's right, these pirates have just led a befuddled life for a night. They have no idea that even an airship has been dispatched … If he had planned his escape route, he might've been able to dodge the machine gun fire in the air … Klein retracted his gaze and watched the dark blue monster fly across the roof.
When Dhaniz saw the pirate's outcome, he was glad that he had followed him.
Seeing that the alarm had been lifted, Erland didn't stay any longer. He led Klein and Dhaniz in the direction of the area he was in charge of.
After walking briskly for five minutes, they saw a barricade at the intersection in front of them. Guns and cannons had been set up, and red-clothed Rouen soldiers were silently standing guard.
On the other side of the barricade, twenty to thirty corpses were strewn across the ground, forming a charging formation.
Their clothes were tattered, and their faces were thin. They were all locals.
Further away, a few young native children were hiding in a corner, quietly cowering as they looked over. They looked at the deep, steel-like muzzles, their eyes black and their faces dirty.
Klein and company fell silent for a few seconds before circling around the area.
…
Baekeland, Cherwood Borough.
Fors picked up the ceramic cup on the table and felt a little hot.
She focused her mind and quietly waited for any changes.
The temperature of the hot water quickly dropped, and a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the liquid. White frost appeared on the edges of the cup.
"I'm a Trickmaster …" Fors closed her eyes in joy.
After receiving the Spirit Eater's stomach pouch, she didn't delay. She immediately concocted the potion and completed her advancement, obtaining many weaker spell-like powers.
Among them, Fors's favorites were Fog Creation, Wind Blast, Flash, Freeze, Electric Shock, and the Fall Spell that made people slip.
Only at this moment did she feel that she was a complete Beyonder. She no longer only knew how to pass through walls and open doors, nor did she have to rely on ritualistic magic.
…
Near noon, Erland, with the help of Klein and Dhaniz, had completed most of the investigation.
"Eat a loaf of bread and drink some water before continuing," he said with dry lips as he took off his boat-shaped hat.
Klein was about to nod when he suddenly saw an orange firework soar into the sky and bloom not far away.
Without any hesitation, Erland immediately put on his hat and ran in that direction.
"I'll head over first to provide support."
"Orange means that there are other wanted criminals that I can't deal with … Who could it be?" Dhaniz muttered to himself with interest.
He walked forward with his legs raised high, hoping to arrive only after the battle was over. Then, he saw German Sparrow abandon him and follow Just Erland.
Glancing at the "dark blue monster" flying towards him, Dhaniz laughed dryly and quickened his pace.
Two minutes later, they arrived at their destination. They saw a house with a lawn facing the street. There were three or four military personnel lying on the ground. Their faces were green, and their bodies were trembling, as though they had been thrown into a frozen lake.
The more Klein walked in that direction, the more he felt like he had encountered a cold disaster, as though he had arrived at the polar region.
Soon, he discovered that the ditch outside the house was filled with a thick layer of snow.
At that moment, a woman's laughter suddenly came from inside the house. It was sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes crazy and sometimes strange.
"Hahaha …"
"Hehehe …"
"Hahaha …"
"Hehehe …"
Dhaniz couldn't help but stop and use his right hand to touch his neck, which was covered in goosebumps.
With a clang, the window opened, and a charred body flew out.
He landed heavily on the ground as though he had encountered a fire.
With just a glance, Klein relied on his spiritual intuition to recognize that this was one of the three male adventurers who followed Leticia.
