The monthly auction ended, and everyone dispersed and left.
Under the cover of darkness, there was very little movement.
Seagou watched Zidi and others board the carriage, but did not follow them, but walked quickly in another direction.
Not long after, he turned a few street corners and knocked on the door of a house in a remote location.
The door was not opened, and the room was silent.
Sea Dog grinned and took out a token from the pocket of his underwear. He took the token, waved it toward the door, and then immediately put it back.
The next moment, the door opened quietly.
The fur seal pushed the door open and then quickly closed the door.
Behind the door is an old man holding an oil lamp.
It was dark inside the house, and the light from the oil lamp was very weak, and even the whole figure of the old man could not be illuminated clearly.
“Secret Agent 708, come to the room with me.” The old man squinted his eyes, stared at the seal, and then slowly turned around.
Seals have two identities.
On one hand, he is Rear Admiral Joe's right-hand subordinate; on the other hand, he is an Imperial secret agent, mainly responsible for monitoring the interior of the Imperial Navy.
The token that Sea Dog just took out seemed ordinary on the surface, but in fact it marked his identity as a secret agent. The token must be held by him personally for the token to be considered valid.
The sea dog stayed where he was, shaking his head and said: "I have limited time, and I still have a mission. This time the intelligence is urgent, but it is not complicated. The first intelligence: Tucker manufactured it was leaked at the black market auction that was just held.
Ship Spirit Repair Scroll. Second piece of information: During the second half of the black market auction, a large amount of soul crystals suddenly appeared."
The old man paused, then turned around: "A large amount of soul crystals?!"
It is not surprising that the soul crystal appears alone.
The information key word of the sea dog is "large quantity", which means that the seller of the soul crystal is probably a necromancer.
Necromancers are not only wanted by the Shengming Empire, but also by other races and continents, who are hunting and killing them with all their strength.
The old man's face became quite serious.
Sea Dog pushed open the door and walked out: "I have given you the information, and I am leaving now."
The old man nodded.
After the door closed, the old man immediately returned to the room and used the magic device to deliver this important information.
The fur seal walked on the street, walking faster and faster.
He was supposed to follow Zidi and his party closely, but was delayed for some time because the information from the Necromancer was delivered.
“But I have to do it!”
“This information is very important, and the local imperial spies will definitely know it, and they will launch an all-out effort to hunt down the seller. By then, if it is found that I was present at the time but did not report it, they will definitely cause trouble for me.”
As a secret spy, Sea Dog knows very well the priorities among various types of intelligence.
Information about the Necromancer has been ranked among the top ten since it was stipulated.
“Is it possible that this soul crystal comes from the Justice Pirates?” The sea dog started running, and it was natural to associate the two with one another.
But he immediately shook his head because there was no evidence to prove his conjecture.
His naval status allows him to enter and exit the city gates late at night. But it does not help him find out information about soul crystal sellers on the black market.
That’s why he sent this information to the Imperial Secret Service.
The secret spy agencies exerted their strength, and the Bengbu Chamber of Commerce could not withstand the pressure.
“If the Soul Crystal really comes from the Justice Pirates, it means that they have been in contact with the Necromancer and even established some kind of cooperative relationship with the Necromancer.”
“If that’s the case, then my task will be easy.”
“If they come into contact with necromancers above the gold level, I’m afraid they will also provoke those lunatics from the Blood Light Sanctioning Academy!”
Thinking of this, the seal couldn't help but shrink its short and thick neck.
Seago speeded up and passed the city gate again. Soon after, he saw the carriage of Zidi and others on the mountain road.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that I didn't follow him."
He ran on the hillside, jumped among the rocks, and used the dense woods to hide his figure. He was very agile and flexible.
He did not continue to close the distance, but kept a long distance. With his dog nose and special fighting skills, he was a very good tracker.
Looking at a group of carriages on the mountain road from a distance, Sea Dog began to summarize what he had gained so far in his mind: "The financial resources of the Justice Pirates are amazing! This is very abnormal. According to the intelligence, the Justice Pirates have only been established not long ago. There are people behind them.
Supported by big forces? Is it the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce?"
“Or are they secretly plundering a large number of cargo ships? However, although major crimes have occurred frequently on the sea recently, this sea area is still relatively calm.”
“According to the latest information, the Justice Pirates are heading to Tianzhu Sea Eye. Did they get any major gains there? Did they really find priceless treasures, and that’s why they are so wealthy?”
"Although the other party has taken a lot of things, they are mainly alchemy materials. What do you need so many alchemy materials for? Upgrade ships? The empire's shipyard should be more cost-effective. Could it be that they have recently recruited alchemists or alchemists?
Magician?"
“Huh?” Sea Dog was suddenly startled.
He noticed that many figures appeared on the hillside in the distance. He was not the only one who was tracking the Justice Pirates.
Seal Dog made a quick identification and saw the two leaders in this group of figures.
These two people come from two major families respectively and are well-known local silver fighters.
The sea dog suddenly understood: "Hahaha, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. The Justice Pirates were too strong at the auction, and now they suffered a backlash."
In the city, there is the City Lord's Mansion and the Bengbu Chamber of Commerce. These two major families have some scruples and dare not take action.
But outside the city, there is room for free expression.
If the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce had not been annexed by the upper echelons of the empire, these two major families would not have taken action. But now that the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce is in dilapidated condition, the guards of the Justice Pirates can be counted on one hand to protect such a large amount of supplies.
It is no wonder that the two major families were moved and took action.
"That's fine, let them explore the truth." The seal stopped moving forward and immediately hid behind a huge rock without being noticed.
On the hillside, the ambush team officially started taking action.
The two silver fighters tore open the magic scroll at the same time and activated the spells copied in the scroll.
Suddenly, six huge rolling stones formed out of thin air and rolled down the hillside.
The rolling stone was round and twice as big as the carriage, and the sound it made immediately attracted the attention of Zidi and the others.
“Trouble is coming!” Zidi sighed softly.
Di Luo, with all three knives turned out of the window, stood on the roof of the car, ready to attack.
The Justice Pirates currently have a total of eight carriages, mainly containing three tons of aquamarine ore. Mithril, fine gold and other items of huge value are not large in size.
However, because the mountain road is long and narrow, the carriage queue is elongated, and most of them are on the path where boulders roll down.
The threats facing the Justice Pirates are not just Rolling Stones.
The ambush team launched a charge behind the rolling stone. The two silver warriors were the sharpest spearheads.
In the carriage, Zidi began to sing.
Mana fluctuations were immediately emitted.
“There is a black iron level magician!”
“Prioritize eradicating her!”
During the dive, the two silver warriors looked at each other and reached a consensus instantly.
Zidi's spell was cast, and the slope of the hillside suddenly rose.
The boulders rolled onto these slopes and either changed their paths continuously or flew into the air.
The horses pulling the cart neighed, accompanied by the frightened shouts of the cartmen. But the boulders either changed their paths, or jumped over their heads, and finally fell into the sea.
Seago watched the battle calmly and commented secretly: "The ambush side does not have a real magician and cannot control these rolling stones. Otherwise, it will never be easily cracked by a black iron mage."
"However, the ambush party's goal has been achieved. They used the boulders to attract the magician's firepower, bought time, and rushed in front of the opponent."
“The Justice Pirates are going to be at a disadvantage.”
There were two silvers and several black irons in the ambush, and their lineup was more powerful than Zidi, Dilu, and Sandao. The rest were all coachmen, and they had all jumped off their carriage seats and ran away frantically for their lives.
Di Luo snorted coldly and rushed out.
Three swordsmen were holding short swords and guarding the carriage beside the carriage, waiting for the enemy to come.
One of the Silver Fighters on the ambush side was entangled by Di Liu, while the other led his team to charge towards San Dao.
But the next moment, the Silver Fighter who was leading the team to continue the charge suddenly spurted blood and almost fell down on the hillside.
"There's an ambush!" He rolled back a few times, half-knelt on the ground, his face was ashen, and he was holding his forearms.
There was an arrow stuck in his forearm and blood was flowing.
It turns out that a flying arrow hit the Silver Fighter's heart before. At the critical moment of life and death, the Silver Fighter couldn't care about anything else and could only block it with his arms.
He burst out with all his fighting spirit and finally blocked the life-threatening arrow, but at the same time, he also temporarily lost an arm.
Fighting Skill——Assassination Arrow!
Higher up the hillside, the one-eyed elf Qiu stood on the branch of a big tree, his bowstring still trembling slightly.
He is the instigator.
The Silver Fighter who was hit by the arrow wanted to stand up, but suddenly felt a strong dizziness.
The Silver Fighter immediately cursed loudly: "Damn, this arrow is still poisonous!"
Two consecutive warnings greatly weakened the ambush party's fighting spirit.
In the carriage, Zidi cast several spells in succession.
Small fireballs, ice picks, wind blades, etc., rushed towards the charging black iron fighters one after another.
Hum, boom, boom...
The black iron fighters were beaten so hard that they could not even lift their heads.
Three knives rushed into the crowd, the sword light was flying, the black iron fighters were killed in pieces, and the momentum came to an abrupt end.
Qiu took action again, shooting three arrows in a row.
The Silver Fighter who was hit by an arrow could only run away desperately to avoid the arrow.
He fled farther and farther away, and actually left the battlefield directly.
“Damn it!” The Silver Fighter who was still entangled with Dilu noticed this situation and quickly called the others to retreat.
“Don’t chase.” Zidi’s order was issued immediately.
The flute leaks, and the three swords stop.
Qiu did not join together, but continued to support them on the hillside.
A drop of cold sweat dripped from the seal's forehead in the darkness: "What a powerful archer. According to the intelligence, this enemy was originally an elf noble?"
“And what’s going on with the elder of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce and the black iron magician wearing a mask? She can actually cast spells instantly!”
