Facing Sheyan's explanation, Reef pondered for a moment before earnestly replying.
"If you put it this way, it isn't too bad. However, those bastards are truly shrewd. Even now, we still don't know where they are hiding. Furthermore, the island Port Royal is located on is as vast as a world. There aren't many places for them to hide. How are we supposed to locate and rescue Lady Elizabeth, before returning her to the governor's mansion? "
Sheyan extended a finger and continued.
"Elizabeth Swann's greatest weapon is her beauty and charm. Regrettably, that aspect isn't of any use to us contestants. Logically speaking, her only threats to contestants are her razor-sharp nails and harmless curses. However, she is still an extremely important storyline character. That's right, she can be considered the female lead. Hence, haven't you guys realized that kidnapping her definitely isn't an easy task! Accurately speaking, the difficulty of kidnapping Mister Will Turner shouldn't be lower than kidnapping him! "
"Since Elizabeth Swann's prowess is weak, the difficulty of kidnapping her would most likely be reflected in other aspects! If kidnapping Lady Elizabeth would allow one to casually roam around the desolate regions of the island, then such a kidnapping would become an exceedingly leisurely sightseeing tour. Just think of Lady Elizabeth's status as the female lead; the realm that stresses on balance wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. Therefore, there's a huge possibility that they wouldn't be able to directly bring this lady out of Port Royal within a certain period of time! Otherwise, the realm would punish them! Only then would the difficulty of kidnapping the female lead be met. "
"Elizabeth is actually still in Port Royal?" Reef asked in astonishment. "But, under such a strict search, where could they possibly hide?"
Sheyan extended a second finger.
"If we assume my previous conjecture is correct, then there aren't many places for those bastards to hide in Port Royal. The most suspicious place would be the protective umbrella of our adorable Chris behind the scenes, Sir Ben Fleming's house. As the most promising candidate for the next governor, he possesses the privilege of being exempted from the search. Furthermore, he definitely isn't willing to witness the marriage between Norrington and Governor Swann. Because, such a powerful alliance would practically render him unable to ascend to the governor's position! Therefore, we have a reasonable motive. Of course, there are a few other suspects, but Sir Ben Fleming is the most suspicious! "
"How, then, did they come to the house of this worthy gentleman, Sir Ben Fleming? That Norrington fella is firmly latching onto them. "Mogensha replied.
"Back then, they were pursued by Brigadier General Norrington. To be able to shake him off and escape successfully, they definitely didn't rely on their own abilities to repel him. Instead, they must have employed some other method."
"With regards to this current group of fools, there are no limits to their actions. Hence, there aren't many methods that could threaten Norrington, but they aren't few either. Of course, the most effective method would be to use the beautiful Lady Elizabeth as a hostage to threaten him. For example, they could threaten to draw a cross on her face with a knife. Instead, Norrington is a typical British gentleman who keeps his word, and can only submit in misery."
Sheyan's analysis was meticulous and was the most likely conclusion he had come up with. After thinking for a while, he continued to add, "That's right.
"That Nick who planned to kidnap Elizabeth Swann is a meticulous schemer with vicious methods. His capabilities aren't beneath mine. Such a person would definitely not entrust his hopes of survival to a single path. Since he dared to scheme against me, I will naturally return the favor. Such a person should either not be provoked, or be thoroughly beaten to death. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to be remembered by him. Therefore, today, I shall vanish this Ku Klux Klan party from the face of the earth. Anyway, I seem to be lacking several blood keys to submit to the party mission! “
*****
The typhoon was still clamoring in Port Royal. Walking amidst this torrential storm, one would feel as though their bodies were as light as a feather, as though they would be blown away at any moment. The torrential downpour of rainwater was akin to a torrential downpour. Their ears were filled with the howling of the wind and rain, and they could only communicate with hand gestures. Opening their mouths would result in being filled with wind and rain!
Under such vile weather, one could observe the distant sea as though it was a boundless colossal monster surging and churning violently. Waves exceeding 5-6 metres were crashing down from the horizon, as the waves slapped against the reefs by the shore, splashing up to a height of 10 metres.
Nevertheless, there were still a large number of people hurriedly shuttling through Port Royal. The majority of them were marines. Although they were drenched from head to toe, they still stood erect like proud roosters, as they widened their eyes to see if there were any suspicious individuals fleeing out of Port Royal. Vainly attempting to evade the severe punishment of the law.
All of this was due to three letters of complaint.
Anonymous letters of complaint.
The contents of these three letters of complaint weren't lengthy, but they were exceedingly reasonable and detailed in dissecting the reason for Lady Elizabeth Swann's abduction. They vaguely pointed out that certain individuals weren't willing to see the promising Captain Norrington marry a beautiful wife, and had changed their address to Governor Swann as father-in-law. At the same time, he listed the names of the most suspicious people.
These three letters were respectively sent to Norrington, Governor Swann, and of course, the most crucial individual, Mister Will Turner. The former two individuals would probably have misgivings regarding the laws promulgated by the Queen of England, and the demeanor of a gentleman. However, the latter was an infatuated man who would directly commit murder and arson for Elizabeth Swann …... more importantly, this infatuated man was exceptionally powerful.
Thus, before the anxious Mister Will Turner could even finish reading the letters, he immediately charged out like a bull in heat that had spotted a naked cow. What humans feared the most was to wait in torment amidst love and despair, and to be completely unable to find anything to do. At present, Mister Will Turner finally saw a glimmer of hope. Naturally, he vented out all the pent-up emotions in his heart.
Evidently, these three letters were Sheyan's handiwork. His objective was obviously to beat the grass and startle the snake. Instead, Will Turner was willingly used by Sheyan, allowing him to successfully play the role of a hothead and shit stirrer.
Ultimately, reality proved that Sheyan wasn't an immortal. His greatest suspect, Sir Ben Fleming, was innocent, and no evidence was found against him.
Nevertheless, Sheyan's deductions were successful. Lady Elizabeth Swann was indeed within the residence of one of the suspects he listed. The mental state of the suspect's servant was exceedingly poor, and Will Turner immediately knew the truth after grabbing him by the neck. Following that, Will Turner and Norrington used violence to complete the rescue of their beloved girl.
Of course, Lady Swann wasn't violated, nor was she murdered. Because doing such a thing would undoubtedly provoke two formidable mortal enemies, and wouldn't bring any benefits. Nevertheless, just as Sheyan predicted, the harboring of the criminal was executed, while the mastermind and kidnapper successfully escaped. Unbeknownst to them, they had already dug out a tunnel leading out of Port Royal from the courtyard of the harboring criminal. When they detected any signs of disturbance, they had already fled without a trace.
At present, the trio was standing on a hill west of Port Royal, as they squinted their eyes and surveyed the scene. The torrential winds and torrential rain weren't able to shake them in the slightest, causing them to appear like three stone statues. Sheyan gazed towards the distant gloomy clouds and uttered.
"I reckon this rain will last till tomorrow morning."
Mogensha suddenly asked.
"Boss, do you think Nick's final resort could be a direct return?"
Sheyan replied.
"That's a possibility. However, a direct return item would usually carry a devastating negative effect, and would eliminate all items and benefits obtained from this world. If I were Nick, I definitely wouldn't resort to such a method unless absolutely necessary."
The trio had already waited here for close to two hours. Logically speaking, the raging torrential storm in Port Royal should be intensifying by now, and should be nearing its climax. Yet from a bird's eye view, it was tranquil without any abnormalities. As the saying goes, 'Hunt the rabbit in the grass house'. Yet, the grass was about to be plucked clean, yet why wasn't there a trace of the rabbit?
One couldn't help but mention the topography of Port Royal's island. This was a long and narrow gourd-shaped island, with Port Royal situated at the mouth of the gourd. Anyone who wished to escape via land from Port Royal would have to pass through the middle of the gourd. At present, the trio was standing on a hill near the middle of the gourd, where they could take in a panoramic view of the long and narrow land passage.
"It's here!" Mogensha suddenly exclaimed.
One could distinctly observe a spot on the plains amidst the storm, before the soil there was overturned. Specks of radiance didn't dissipate in the slightest despite the storm. Following that, those specks of radiance constantly converged and flickered, before gradually transforming into an exceptionally distinct miniature teleportation portal. One could observe individuals strolling out from the teleportation portal. Upon careful observation, some of their facial features were coincidentally similar to the assailants of the plaza.
"So it's a short distance teleportation. That Nick's style isn't small." Mogensha exclaimed in astonishment.
"This short distance teleportation device is a specialty of the 'Star Wars' world. It can only be used once, and can teleport a fixed number of individuals to a fixed location within a 5 km radius. Although it's a one-time use item, it can still play a significant role in defense and offense. Its price is exceedingly exorbitant.
