With her eyes closed and feeling the sea breeze, Marguerite asked Connor faintly, "Do you plan on leaving after returning to Loen?"
Although he didn't know why Marguerite would ask this question, Connor hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything. All he did was shake his head.
If Reyes didn't allow him to leave, he couldn't leave!
Upon hearing Connor's words, Marguerite immediately stared at Connor for a while before smiling bitterly. She then turned around and left the deck.
After Marguerite left, Connor enjoyed the sea breeze for a while before heading to the ship's cockpit. He didn't wish for any problems to happen on the final step of returning to Loen.
"How long do we estimate it will take to reach Loen?" In the cockpit, Connor quietly looked at the stocky man who was instructing the other two crew members not to touch the submerged reefs for a while before asking, "Sir, Sir Jose, it's about 170 nautical miles away from Loen.
Upon hearing Connor's question, the stocky man didn't dare to be negligent as he hurriedly lowered his head and answered respectfully, "Sir Warlock, Loen is about 170 nautical miles away from San Jose Island. This ship's speed is six nautical miles per hour. We will reach Loen in about a day and a night!"
As he didn't know much about navigation, Connor didn't say anything else and only nodded. Then, he placed his mental strength on the three people to monitor them. Then, he curiously walked to the storage room on the ship.
Although he was a layman, he could clearly tell that the storage room was modified later. To Connor's surprise, the mental strength he placed on these three people sensed that as soon as he showed that he was going to enter the storage room, the three people in the driver's seat clearly became nervous. The strong man in the lead even seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, as if he wanted to stop Connor from entering the storage room.
This aroused Connor's interest in the storage room. He snorted slightly, and the moment he did so, the three people in the cockpit immediately hugged their heads with pained expressions.
After giving the three of them a small warning, Connor ended the mental intimidation and left a sentence of "sail the ship well" before walking straight into the storage room.
As soon as he walked into the storage room, Kang An smelled a very strong tobacco smell, and the storage room was filled with all kinds of cigarette packaging.
Glancing at all kinds of cigarette boxes such as "Bonucci", "Ennori", and so on, Connor's face suddenly became a little strange.
If he guessed correctly, these smugglers were smuggling cigarettes.
After carefully inspecting the cigarettes, Connor was surprised to find that although there were various brands of cigarettes, all of them were genuine without exception. There wasn't even a box of fake cigarettes. Connor couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder. When did these smugglers become so credible?
Connor casually took a pack of cigarettes from the storage room and brought it to the driver's seat. When the three people in the driver's seat saw Connor come out of the storage room with a pack of cigarettes, they couldn't help but become nervous again.
"Bang!"
Connor casually threw the pack of cigarettes into the hand of the strong man in the lead and said casually, "You guys, disperse this pack of cigarettes. It'll give you a boost!"
The strong man was a little surprised by Connor's action, but after the lesson just now, he naturally didn't dare to disobey Connor's will. He immediately bowed deeply to Connor and said, "Thank you, Lord Warlock!" After that, he dispersed the pack of cigarettes to his other two companions.
Seeing the three people in the driver's seat puffing away, Connor nodded inwardly and didn't say anything else. He wasn't in a hurry now. Once he arrived in Loen, he would know everything with a Soul Summoning!
This time, nothing went wrong. After sailing on the Stormy Ocean for a full day and night, the ship Connor and the others were on quietly docked on the coast of Loen.
Looking at the faintly discernible Loen's iconic port building in the distance, Connor sighed in his heart. Goddammit, I'm finally back!
"Lord Warlock, I've sent you to Loen. Can we go back now?" The strong man mustered his courage and said to Connor in fear and trepidation.
"Go back?" Connor glanced at him with a smile that wasn't a smile. Then, he didn't waste any words. Three mental attacks immediately knocked the three of them out again.
After knocking the three people out, Connor turned to Marguerite and said, "You go first! Leave this to me! "
Marguerite nodded and left after saying, "Do it cleanly."
… ….
… ….
An hour later, Connor was lying on a soft bed in his luxurious apartment at 16 Rand Street in the East District of Loen.
He kept playing with a black crystal in his hand. Regarding this soul crystal, the auxiliary A.I. Chip had just given him an answer. With this soul crystal and some medicine to treat mental trauma, it was possible to completely repair the damage to his Spirit Sea caused by overdrawing his mental strength. This made Connor heave a sigh of relief.
Although there was hope as long as one was alive, it was still very exciting to see where the hope was!
The matter of the mental trauma had come to an end. What surprised Connor was what he found on the three unlucky people.
Through the soul search, he had to admit that the methods of these smugglers were very clever!
These smugglers had certain trading companies in their hands, and they used the excuse of exporting to the New World to purchase goods through official channels. The current Trade Law and Tariff Law of the Kaman Empire clearly stipulated that in the name of supporting the construction of the New World, all goods exported to the New World would be reduced by 70%.
Take the cigarettes that Connor found in the storage room of the boat as an example. These cigarettes weren't worth much, and only cost a few pennies, but once the high tax was added, one would have to buy them for a shilling!
And this group of smugglers used this gap to first transport the goods out of Loen in the name of export. Then, they didn't transport the goods to the New Continent as they had said. Instead, they secretly transported the goods to San Jose Island before secretly transporting them to Loen from San Jose Island. This way, they could avoid the dangers of the Stormy Ocean from the empire to the New Continent, and they could also earn a similar amount of profits. This method could be said to be extremely brilliant!
After understanding the methods of these smugglers, Connor sighed and turned the three unlucky people and their boat into ashes, washing them into the sea.
