After a while, Chanem couldn't help it anymore. He looked at Nolfi and said, "Do you have any secret collaborators?"
Nolfi nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
Regarding this answer, both Butner and Chanem had expected it, but it did not prevent the latter from being delighted: "Who is it?"
Nolfi struggled for a moment and said: "Yes, it's Juan Oro!"
Juan Oro, the president of the Fisheries Guild, Butner was shocked.
The same goes for Chanem.
Is this the undercover boss? He complained and asked, "Are you sure it's Juan Oro?"
While asking Juan Oro to preliminarily investigate who had problems with the core members of the Fisheries Guild, Lumian, who had already grasped the true purpose of the "Earth Mother Goddess" church, also asked Noelia of the Order of Abundance to provide similar information, including Juan Oro is the president.
According to official information, Juan Oro's health has always been pretty good, he has never been seriously ill or injured, and he has never shown any symptoms of complete lizard-like loss of control.
In other words, he should not be possessed by the time traveler "Salty Egg Superman".
Of course, it is impossible to make a definite judgment based on this alone. After all, when the original owners of many members of the "Curly Baboon Research Society" had accidents, no one else was around.
But Juan Oro's character has not changed significantly over the years. It's just that as he grows older, he becomes more and more stubborn and has a tendency to return to the sea.
More importantly, if Juan Oro is a "salty-egg superman", then many of the "April Fool's Day" actions in destroying the sea prayer ceremony would seem unnecessary. They could have been simpler and more covert.
Combining several aspects of the situation, Chanem had initially determined that Juan Oro was not a core member of "April Fool's Day".
Nolfi pursed his lips and said, "It's him. I met him half a year ago in Port Layak."
Layak is located north of the Daliez Mountains and is a port in the Reston Province of the Republic of Intis.
"Have you seen it?" Chanem blurted out, "Your eyes can lie to you, and what you see may not necessarily be the truth."
Unable to control his desire to talk, he continued: "Just like now, the me you see is not the actual me. The difference is quite big."
"You mean, the Juan Oro I saw was fake?" Nolfi obviously didn't believe it, "But, he also showed the power to control the waves!"
Chanem smiled: "Most of the members of the Fisheries Association can do similar things. What if one of them pretends to be Juan Oro?"
"But, but it's too similar..." Nolfi fell into self-doubt.
Chanem said leisurely: "According to the intelligence we collected, Juan Oro has not left Santa Puerto for nearly ten years."
"He is the president of the Fisheries Association, and he goes to the association to sit in every day."
This is used to convince Nolfi, but it is not absolute evidence, because if Juan Oro is a "salted egg super
"People", you can definitely ask the "Crazy Girl" to take him to Layak Port and back, which will not exceed two hours.
Under those circumstances, almost no one could notice that he had been missing for a while.
Nolfi was silent subconsciously, but couldn't help but whisper: "Then
,who could it be?"
"You ask me, who am I asking?" Chanem said the slanderous words,
He changed the subject with a slight embarrassment: "What kind of cooperation does that fake Juan Oro hope to achieve with you? Is there any way you can destroy the palace under the sea and completely end the sea prayer ceremony?"
Nolfi's body trembled, as if fighting an instinctive impulse.
After a few seconds, she answered with great difficulty: "He, he will help me, help me cover up my traces, ignore my existence, let me, let me take a boat, and get ahead of the 'Governor of the Sea' ship. Enter the Sea Sacrifice Land and hide.
"Then, when the 'Governor of the Sea' throws out the 'Ring of the Sea Queen' and reads the words of marriage, he chants a sentence.
"Those words were taught to me by my mother. They came from the deep resonance with that palace when she accepted the gift from the sea. It, its function is to start a self-destruction process in that palace."
Nolfi became more fluent as he spoke, and had obviously given up on confrontation.
"Self-destruct program? Are you sure? Do you understand that unknown language?" Chanem looked unbelieving.
"That's what my mother told me." Nolfi said that he didn't understand the language of that passage.
Chanem asked: "Which language does your mother know?"
"She doesn't understand either, but she knows what it means. Do you understand, a kind of soul-level communication." Nolfi tried hard to defend his mother.
"Communications at the soul level are not impossible to deceive, and it is always easier to deceive illiterate people." Chanem expressed his inner complaints again.
He frowned and asked, "Did Fake Juan Oro tell you that last year's sea prayer ceremony failed?"
"No, otherwise I wouldn't rent a boat in Santa Port." Nolfi had been very upset about this before.
If she had known from the beginning that last year's sea praying ceremony failed, she would have guessed that this year's Santa Port would be on heightened alert and would definitely pay attention to those who tried to rent a boat to go out to sea.
Chanem showed a puzzled expression: "Isn't that fake Juan Oro waiting for you to be caught by Lato Giallo..."
Half a year ago, neither "April Fool's Day" nor other people with different intentions in Santa Port could have predicted that Lumian would come here to investigate the sea prayer ceremony. In other words, Nolfi's original role was definitely not to lure Lumian. Mian took the bait, maybe it was part of the original plan for "April Fool's Day", until they changed their minds and planned to take advantage of the "Great Adventurer"'s investigation.
Under such an arrangement, having Nolfi arrested by Lato Giallo obviously shouldn't be a low-level loophole in the "April Fool's Day" plan, unless this is what they want.
"The purpose of throwing Nolfi out is to confuse the people of the Fisheries Guild and make other committee members doubt Juan Oro, so that there will be dissatisfaction between them and they will no longer be able to cooperate well? But this kind of provocation is not very clever... ...
"In response to the Mother Earth Church's concern about this year's sea prayer ceremony, guide them towards Nolfi's line?
"Or, or..."
Franka, who was pretending to be Chanem, had a thought in her mind and made a guess: "Or maybe Lato Giallo is a member of 'April Fool's Day'!"
"As soon as Nolfi arrived at Santa Port and tried to rent a boat, he was arrested. This is not only due to Lato Giallo's absolute control over this 'collaborator', but also accordingly.
Protection... When the sea prayer ceremony is about to come, he will pretend to relax his guard and let Nolfi successfully escape and get the ship?"
After having this guess, the more Franka thought about Lato Giallo, the more she felt there was something wrong with him:
Whether it is the information provided by the "Knight of Swords" or the official information, one message is clearly recorded:
Lato Giaro and his wife slept in separate rooms many years ago!
For the time-travelers, after occupying the body of the original owner, the most worrying thing is that the people around them find out from various details that there is something wrong with them. And the people around them are most likely to expose their disguise. One is their deeply affectionate parents. The second is that spouses who share the same bed, especially the latter, know many habits of getting along that others do not know. In this case, finding excuses to sleep in separate rooms is obviously the time traveler's self-protection.
When she saw this information before, Franka had a moment of doubt, but she quickly gave up the corresponding speculation. This was because it was not too strange for a middle-aged man and his wife to sleep in separate rooms. The Fisheries Guild The committee member was not the only one who did this. The second reason was that Lato Giaro had been forcibly controlled by the "Knight of Swords" and Lumian and given veritaserum. However, the subsequent questions and answers did not reveal the slightest hint of " There are traces of connection between "April Fool's Day"——
When he mentioned the words about marrying Dahai, he didn't even show a smile!
But what if Lato Giallo, who took the initiative to pass on Nolfi's message, had been prepared in advance for the big adventurer to come to his door, and had hidden part of his memory through "hypnosis" and other means?
The essence of truth serum is to greatly enhance the desire to talk. Things that the user does not understand clearly about themselves will not be told.
The question now is, where did Lato Giaro find extraordinary people or items with similar abilities through the "April Fool's Day" channel?
Franka, who increasingly felt that Lato Giallo was the "Salt-Egg Superman", remembered another thing: the incoming "Governor of the Sea" Simon was a branch member of the Giallo family!
Previously, based on her suggestion, Juan Oro tested the blood of people boarding the ship other than Lumian to confirm whether they belonged to a certain family and to see if there were any outsiders pretending to be sneaking in.
What if Simon Giaro is Lato Giaro pretending to be?
That method will only confirm his identity!
............
The colorful ceremony boat was falling to the bottom of the sea as if it was being weighed down by a huge boulder.
Simon Giallo, who was standing at the bow of the ship, seemed to be frozen there, with a look of panic and confusion on his face.
But the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
At this moment, he recalled the "Governor of the Sea" handover ceremony last night: Simon Giallo, wearing a straight blue dress, walked into the hall and saw Miguel, the former "Governor of the Sea" in a retro white robe, looking at I, according to the predetermined process, said the predetermined words: "The sea will be left to you."
"It's my honor." Simon Giallo replied solemnly and walked towards the other party slowly.
Miguel stretched out his right hand, and Simon Giallo also reached out and shook his hand. This represented the resignation of the former "Governor of the Sea" and the preparation of the current "Governor of the Sea".
After shaking hands, the two of them passed by each other. When they looked at different places, the corners of their mouths curled up almost indiscriminately.
Under the gaze of countless statues around them, one of them continued to move forward and the other left the hall.
