Hancock is the senior leader of the Ice Bear Chamber of Commerce. He has been with Philoria since the founding of the Ice Bear Caravan. With his qualifications and status, he should have been promoted to caravan manager or assigned to different cities.

He has served as the branch director of the Chamber of Commerce, but now he is still only one of the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce. This is entirely because he brought it upon himself.

Hancock, who grew up in the city, developed many bad habits. These bad habits were deeply ingrained into his character and behavior and could not be corrected. For this reason, he even chopped off three fingers of his left hand, but still did not

Even if it doesn't work at all, bad habits will still appear when they should appear.

It is precisely because of these bad habits that Hancock has made many mistakes in his career over the past many years, and these mistakes directly affected his promotion.

He was kicked out of the caravan for the mistakes he made, and what's worse is that there are still some mistakes that have not been exposed that have now become a handle for others to blackmail him.

This time, Philoria personally led the caravan north. Originally, Hancock did not need to join, but this time he offered to be the leader of a team in the caravan, purely because he wanted to use Philoria to

to smuggle a special batch of goods.

Although the beliefs of the True God Church are spread throughout the Old World, the polar mountains north of the snowfields of the North are a restricted area for the True God Church. Some primitive natural spiritual beliefs are prevalent here, while the True God belief has lost its place here.

Some brilliance.

Although the cities in the polar mountains will not openly oppose the missionary work of the True God Church, they will secretly use some means to hinder the effectiveness of the missionary work, such as preventing any books related to the True God Church from entering the polar mountains, and preventing the True God Church from establishing a holy church.

If the True God Church wants to preach in important missionary places such as churches, it will send its own clergy to preach one-on-one, one by one. This kind of preaching efficiency is almost ineffective.

Of course, these obstructive actions against the True God Church by various cities in the mountains will not be written in the legal text, but will become a conventional rule, and some small techniques will be implemented during execution, such as blocking books related to the True God Church, or directly inspecting them.

An's crime was that there were banned books in these books, and the way to prevent the True God Church from creating interfaces was also very simple, which was to deliberately stuff a few banned books disguised as church classics into them during the inspection.

The True God Church is naturally very aware of this, but they have no reason at all to hold the Polar Mountains accountable for their actions, so they can only suffer the loss of being dumb.

However, even so, the enthusiasm of the clergy within the True God Church for preaching to various cities in the polar mountains has not diminished at all. A large number of clergy who believe in asceticism believe that the polar mountains are a test for them by the gods, so even if they fail countless times, they still

A large number of clergy from the Church of True God rushed to the cities in the polar mountains one after another.

Although those clergymen who believe in asceticism are full of enthusiasm, enthusiasm is not enough for preaching, but also requires tools. This tool is naturally the church books that record the true meaning of the gods.

When Philoria started organizing a caravan to go north, the clergy of the Spirit of Knowledge Church in the True God Church found Hancock and were willing to pay a large sum of money to let Hancock help them transport a batch of church classics to Movit Road.

The reason why Hancock was found was because one of Hancock's very important information was mastered by someone from the Spirit of Knowledge Church. The other reason was that Hancock's Ice Bear Chamber of Commerce was a very special chamber of commerce. The owner of the chamber of commerce, Philo,

Liya had an agreement with the city lord of Movit Road. This agreement not only exempted Philoria from commercial taxes for thirty years, but also gave Philoria's caravan the qualification to not need to be inspected when entering the city.

The qualifications are only available to a few special people such as Philoria in the entire northern snowfield.

Faced with the request of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge, Hancock only hesitated for a moment before agreeing. The reason why he agreed so readily was mainly because the clue left behind was too dangerous. Even the Chamber of Commerce would not be able to protect it if it were leaked.

Live with him, maybe even send him away directly.

In addition, although the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge is also restricted in the cities of the polar mountains like other churches of the True God, the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge is different from other churches after all. Their method of preaching is more like imparting knowledge, and even

They have some cooperation with various cities in the polar mountains, so even if the books of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge are discovered, they will not be punished too much. If they use the influence of the Chamber of Commerce, they will only need to confiscate the smuggled goods and pay some

You might be able to get away with a fine.

Of course, the reason why he agreed so readily was because the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge gave too much, and he really needed a lot of money recently.

Things went very smoothly. He used his position to mix the batch of classics from the Spirit of Knowledge Church into the goods of the Chamber of Commerce, and took the initiative to serve as the leader of this team. The only surprise was that the caravan's departure time was later than expected.

It was so late that we arrived, and the biggest problem we would encounter if we set off late was the black storm on the snowfield.

The caravan happened to encounter a black storm on the road. Although this black storm was not the biggest, it was still very dangerous for the entire caravan. This also forced the caravan to change direction and come to Palm Rock.

Escape from the black storm.

When the caravan successfully arrived at Palm Rock and started to set up camp, Hancock received news that Philoria actually put aside the caravan's affairs and ran to look for the legendary Palm Rock treasure. He was quite disdainful of this and felt that Philoria

Lorlia, as the leader of the Chamber of Commerce, was too uninterested in doing business, but he was happy to see the results, because without Philoria's personal supervision, many inspection procedures would be much looser.

Since it takes several days to repair at Palm Rock, the goods cannot continue to be placed on the back of the beast of burden. They need to be unloaded one by one and counted one by one.

If Philoria was here, the caravan manager would definitely ask each team in the caravan to unload and inventory each other's goods to prevent anyone from causing trouble. But now that Philoria is not here, there is room for things to be reversed.

"Portis, I can unload my team and take inventory later, okay?" Hancock directly found the supervisor in charge of his part of the team and suggested.

Upon hearing Hancock's suggestion, Portis glanced at the other person and said, "Are you smuggling something?"

The reason why Hancock was sure that there was room for reversal of the matter was because Portis, who was now his boss, had been very good friends with him in the past, and they had risked each other's lives, and Portis could become the supervisor.

Borrowing some of Hancock's connections, he thought that the other party wouldn't embarrass him for a small matter like unloading, but what he didn't expect was that the other party directly saw through the reasons behind his behavior, and a panicked expression immediately appeared on his face.

I looked around and saw that everyone else was busy with what they were doing and didn't hear what I just said, so I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Are you crazy? Can you say such a thing?" Hancock, who had regained his composure, couldn't help complaining.

"You can do it, but I can't say anything anymore." Portis also looked at his friend with great dissatisfaction, but still lowered his voice, leaned in front of him, and whispered: "Don't you know that you

What is your current situation? If someone finds out about this, it will be too late for you. After being kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce, what else can you do, and which caravan will use you? By then, your creditors...

"

Hancock also knew that his friend was worried about him. When faced with his friend's lecture, he lowered his head and did not refute. He listened silently. It was not clear whether he listened to it or not, but when Portis stopped teaching him

, then raised his head and said: "I've already done everything, what else can I do?"

Looking at his friend in front of him, Portis took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, and then asked Hancock very seriously: "What kind of goods are you smuggling? Could it be those taboos..."

"No, no! Of course not." Hancock shook his head quickly and said, "I dare not touch those things. The things smuggled this time are just a batch of books."

"Book?" Portis frowned, and quickly thought of what the book Hancock was talking about was, and immediately confirmed: "It's from the church..."

Before he finished speaking, Hancock nodded, and then drew a symbol representing the Spirit of Knowledge Church in the air with his finger.

Seeing that the smuggled goods were the classics of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge, Portis also breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was also the Church of the True God, the tolerance level for the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge in the cities in the polar mountains was higher than that of other True God churches.

It's much bigger, so even if it is discovered, it won't cause too much trouble.

However, he still worried and confirmed again: "Are you sure there are only books from the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge and nothing else?"

"Of course I'm sure, I loaded the goods myself." Hancock felt that his friend was about to relent, and responded quickly.

After hearing this, Portis thought for a moment and said, "Okay then! You will be responsible for the unloading and inventory work of your team." After that, he reminded: "No.

Next page! Current page 1 / 2 pages in total

If others find out, clear the camp as soon as possible, it’s getting dark soon.”

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Hancock was no longer in the mood to talk to his friends, so he immediately turned around and prepared to return to his team to unload the goods. At this moment, the ground under his feet suddenly shook, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

He fell to the ground, and many other people around him also fell down like him. Moreover, the abnormal shaking of the ground also disturbed the beasts of burden of the caravan. Some of the beasts of burden who were unloading the goods and had not yet been supervised stood up one after another and walked towards the caravan.

He walked away from Palm Rock and ran into the surrounding forest.

Because the cargo had only been unloaded, the beast of burden suddenly panicked, causing all the remaining cargo to fall off the back of the beast and scatter on the floor. The sudden change also caught everyone in the caravan by surprise, and they did not stabilize the pack immediately.

beast.

Although the people in the caravan were experienced and quickly returned to normal, it was already over. All kinds of goods were scattered all over the camp, and some frightened beasts of burden were taken into the woods.

At this time, the supervisors of each team stood high above the piled goods, allowing everyone around them to see them, and then loudly issued orders one by one to suspend the camp. Some people stayed down to clean up the messed up camp, while the other group

Under the leadership of the guards, we entered the woods and began to retrieve the beasts of burden and scattered goods.

Hancock was about to cry to death at this moment, because the beast of burden carrying his batch of contraband was also among the frightened beasts of burden, and because his team was at the outermost position, the beast of burden ran farther. When he

When he returned to the camp where his team was located, his men told him that the beast of burden had gone deep into the woods. It was difficult to find it in the current blizzard weather. It was best to wait until the weather was better before looking for it.

Hancock did not veto his men's proposal because he also felt that this proposal was correct. Although letting the beasts of burden wander in the forest might cause trouble, his smuggled church books were placed in sturdy boxes.

Even if something happens to the beast of burden, there will be no problem with those things. Then all you need to do is take the goods back and replace them with a beast of burden.

However, just when Hancock decided to listen to his subordinates' suggestion and temporarily focus on retrieving the nearby beasts of burden that were lost, and wait for the weather to improve for the beasts of burden that were too far into the woods, the ground shaking that occurred before reappeared.

And this time the vibration was even greater.

The caravan personnel who had the previous experience immediately stabilized the beasts of burden that were in panic again, and each held on to things around them to avoid falling. However, those beasts of burden that had not been caught in time ran further because of the fright.

Far.

Faced with this situation, Hancock felt that there might be another earthquake of this kind in the future, and the frightened beasts of burden would be frightened and flee further away. In that case, if they wait a while to search, they might not find anything.

Not here anymore.

As a result, Hancock changed his attention and immediately divided into two groups of people like other team leaders. One group stayed in place to clean up the camp, while the other group followed him into the forest to search for the lost beasts of burden.

After that, as Hancock expected, earthquakes began to become more frequent and the noise became louder and louder. Some of the pools around Palm Rock began to boil, while others quickly cooled and froze. All these changes did not look like a good thing.

occur.

For this reason, the caravan managers discussed moving the caravan camp to a more peripheral location to avoid being the first to bear the brunt of any major abnormalities.

However, the more serious problem now is what happened to the owner of their chamber of commerce, Filoria.

Now these supervisors know that all the abnormal movements must be related to the Palm Rock, and Philoria is now looking for the legendary Palm Rock treasure to connect the two. They all have to suspect that Philoria may be

He found the legendary palm rock treasure and fought against the terrifying existence guarding the treasure, which is why there was such a big commotion.

For these managers, it was obvious that Philoria's safety was more important than the goods of the caravan, so they quickly made a decision to support Philoria, but now

The problem is that they don't know where Philoria is.

Just when these caravan directors were anxious and worried about Philoria's safety, bursts of exclamations from not far away startled them. They climbed up the pile of goods and looked in the direction of the exclamations.

, they saw Philoria, who had grown taller and had a pair of golden antlers on her head, walking towards them, while the relatively short figure beside Philoria was directly ignored by them.
