Randolph's information could be summed up in three points:
First, Sean Riley was likely to have foreseen the shipwreck.
Second, the shipwreck was likely to be arranged by the chief priest of the Church of the God of Aristocracy.
Third, Sean would soon leave here.
"Taking all of these into consideration, I think Sean Riley is very suspicious." After they temporarily settled in the hotel, Ray told them all the information and then gave his analysis, "This thing is likely to be planned by him and the chief priest together."
No one had any opinion on his analysis. After discussion, they decided to visit the Garth Chamber of Commerce, which was the Chamber of Commerce established by Sean Riley here, the next morning. If there was no accident, Sean should be stationed there.
However, accidents always happened. When they arrived at the Garth Chamber of Commerce the next morning, they were told by the guard that President Sean was busy arranging the next business and had no time to receive guests.
Ray frowned and signaled to Steele. Steele, who had already developed a tacit understanding with him, immediately stepped forward and used her charm ability on the guard.
Steele's charm ability was powerful, and it was the embodiment of her "Holy Spirit" nature. To resist her charm, even many legendary strongmen might not be able to do it. The guard was just a strong man, who at most had just stepped into the ranks of "professional adventurers". His strength was even weaker than Liv's. How could he resist it?
Just looking at Steele's eyes for a second or two, his eyes became dull and completely lost his clarity.
"Is President Sean here?" Steele asked softly.
"I don't know. I haven't seen him for several days."
Ray frowned and asked, "Then who can see him?"
"He said he was not feeling well during this time and did not want to see anyone."
"He was not feeling well? That's not what you said just now! "
"This is what the president told me before. He said that if anyone wants to see him, he should say 'the president is busy arranging the business and has no time to receive guests.'"
Ray frowned again and asked, "Where does he live?"
"The president lives in the room on the second floor near the sea."
Ray nodded and looked at Sui Xiong, "Your Majesty, can you please check that room?"
Normally, he shouldn't bother Sui Xiong with such a small matter, but his heart was full of a bad premonition at the moment, and he didn't want to wait for another second.
Sui Xiong checked the room with his soul and found that there was no Sean Riley inside. Instead, there was a gray-haired old man lying on the floor with a dagger in his back. He had been dead for several days, but his body had been sealed by magic, so it had not rotted.
Sean Riley was the son of the governor of Garth City. According to common sense, no matter how old he was, he could not be an old man. Then, who was this old man? Why would he be killed in Sean's room?
Sui Xiong cast a spell and projected the back of the old man in the air. He then asked the guard about the origin of the old man. He found out that the old man was the Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce, responsible for the daily affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and also President Sean's trusted aide.
"Silencing him!" Ray said coldly. "It seems that Sean has run away!"
After a while, the entire Garth Chamber of Commerce was in a mess. The president had gone missing, and the vice president had been killed. Such news immediately caused panic in everyone's hearts.
Sui Xiong and the others gathered all the people in the Chamber of Commerce and asked them one by one.
After a while, they finally asked about Sean's whereabouts. A guard who was responsible for patrolling at night had seen the vice president in a hood leave in a hurry one night eight days ago. After analysis, Sui Xiong confirmed that there were traces of magic confusion on the vice president's body. Combined with the time of the vice president's death, it was estimated that Sean had killed the vice president and used magic to change his appearance to leave.
But … why was Sean in such a hurry to run away? Why did he even use such a method? What secret was he trying to hide by killing his trusted aide?
"No matter what secret he has, this is our only clue now. We can only chase him." Ray made a decision after a little consideration. "His target of escape is most likely Garth City. We just need to catch up with him!"
"Should we fly along the route?" Sui Xiong asked.
"It's inconvenient for so many people to fly together," Ray said. "Since he has run away for eight days, we don't need to hurry for a day or two. Let's get ready and set off by ship to Garth City!"
So everyone went to make their own preparations. Things like carriages, horses, and tents that were inconvenient to take by ship were sold, and they also needed to find a ship to Garth City.
However, they did not find a ship to Garth City. An experienced captain suggested that they take a ship to the White Tower Harbor first, and then take a ship from the White Tower Harbor to the Dhaka Business Alliance, and then take a ship from the Dhaka Business Alliance to the Kingdom of the Blue Moon. After arriving at the Kingdom of the Blue Moon, they believed that they would be able to find a ship to Garth City.
"It's not a waste of time," the captain said. "At most, we will be delayed for seven or eight days, which is nothing for a long journey."
What he said was very reasonable, so it was decided.
That afternoon, they boarded the ship and headed for the White Tower Harbor.
It was not far from the Cloud Pagoda Harbor to the White Tower Harbor. The ship with a mix of customers sailed in the calm coastal sea, and it was very smooth all the way. This ship traveled between the two ports all year round, so both the captain and the sailors had accumulated rich experience. For them, this section of the sea was just like their own backyard, and they knew almost every reef and every undercurrent like the back of their hand. Sailing on this ship, not only was there no danger, but it was also quite relaxing and enjoyable, just like traveling.
After changing ships from the White Tower Harbor, the situation was almost the same. To the east of the Commonwealth of Mifata, there was a small country called the Dhaka Business Alliance, which was founded on maritime transportation, and its maritime industry was very developed. For a long time in the past, only the ships of the Dhaka Business Alliance could bypass the dangerous Iron Cliff Mountains and reach the Kingdom of the Blue Moon, which was located in the east of the continent, and thus monopolized the sea trade in this section.
They had been sailing for almost twenty days, and they had been trapped in a small sailboat for a long time. It was inevitable that they would become a little lazy. Even Madame Teague and Liv were no exception. Steele had shamelessly turned into a pig and played with little Nice all day long to kill time.
Of course, Ray was not like that. He was interested in learning sailing skills from the sailors (the captain's sailing skills were confidential), and at the same time, he taught his new apprentices martial arts. In his spare time, he sat on the side of the ship and fished, so he did not feel bored at all.
Compared with Liv, who had become a little lazy, Rank was much more diligent. He practiced hard every day, and every time he practiced until he was exhausted. After resting, he continued to practice. After careful calculation, it was estimated that he practiced for about ten hours a day.
As the saying goes, "Hard work pays off." Every drop of sweat would not be wasted. In just twenty days, his swordsmanship had made great progress. In Ray's words, it was "finally a little bit better." In the practice with Liv, he was no longer one-sidedly suppressed. Instead, he was able to defend and attack at the same time. Even if he was temporarily at a disadvantage, he would not be flustered. Indeed, he was a bit like a swordsman.
But after they changed to the ship from the Dhaka Business Alliance to the Kingdom of the Blue Moon, their living conditions were not so comfortable.
They took a pure passenger ship. Although the tickets were expensive, the cabin conditions were absolutely first-class. Except for the slightly narrow space, the decorations and equipment were not worse than those of ordinary hotel rooms. However, the captain was a very strict old man. He was very stubborn, and he always emphasized that "the sea is very dangerous," so he did not allow the passengers to walk around on the deck.
Being stuck in the cabin for a long time, even Ray could not stand it. As for Sui Xiong, he simply went back to the sea, changed his appearance, and wandered around in the sea.
Anyway, with him watching over the ship, how dangerous could the ship be?
But it was too early for him to be optimistic.
When the ship sailed past the most famous reef group in the Iron Cliff Mountains, "Hell Bay," the originally clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and the calm sea also began to tumble. Waves came one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the ship sailed into a storm.
The captain was shocked, and immediately asked all the sailors to take action. Part of the sails were retracted, and the ship slowed down to avoid danger. At the same time, they strengthened their observation of the sea, and carefully avoided the reefs, which might be more dangerous than the reefs.
Because of their great strength, Ray and Madame Teague were invited to the deck to be on guard with the boatswain.
"Did we encounter a sea monster?" Ray asked curiously and excitedly.
He had been adventuring for so many years, killed mountain monsters, fought with giant dragons, and met gods, but he had never encountered a sea monster!
The boatswain's weather-beaten face was full of seriousness, and he said worriedly, "It was indeed a sea monster, and not an ordinary sea monster. Maybe it was' Angry Tide 'Heimsarah. "
"Heimsarah? The one who is as famous as' Dark Tide 'Timsar? " Ray was stunned for a moment, and when he got a positive answer from the boatswain, he could not help but be more curious.
"Angry Tide" and "Dark Tide" were the two most famous sea monsters on the Main Plane. They were not only powerful, but also had many legendary stories. But until now, no one had figured out what they looked like, and what their real bodies were.
Of course, Ray knew that with his strength, it was absolutely impossible for him to spy on the real body of the legendary sea monster. But now he had His Majesty, Void Mask! His Majesty would definitely be curious to see what it was, and when he saw it, how could he not tell him?
"I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing on a trip to the sea!" He could not help but laugh. "Maybe … I will be the first mortal in the world to know what 'Angry Tide' looks like!"
He passed on the boatswain's words to Sui Xiong through the mind connection. Sui Xiong was really curious, and went straight to the center of the storm to see what it was.
In the center of the storm, he saw a constantly rolling magic power, which seemed to make the surrounding water boil. There was also a small whirlwind revolving around the boiling seawater, forming a tiny tornado.
Looking carefully, in the core of the magic power, there was actually a strand of divine power. It was stable and calm, not at all as fierce as the sea and the whirlwind. It was even motionless, as if it was asleep.
"Hello, is this Heimsarah?" Sui Xiong tried to send out a thought to greet it.
When his thought touched the magic power, the strand of divine power in the center shook a few times as if it had been awakened, and then a reply came.
It was a very vague and vague thought. Generally speaking, it was about.
