Lawrence can understand why the church keeps the target of the operation secret. After all, the previous call for help was sent to everyone around. Then there is a high possibility that there will be evil people and extremely unreliable people in this group of people trying to fish in troubled waters. Therefore, the church wants to keep it secret.
It is understandable that some secrets hide some information.
In addition, even if the identity of Reso is relatively reliable but there are only one or two people, the church will hide the specific situation. After all, boats are definitely needed in this area, and if there are too few people, they can only rent a boat.
Then it is very likely that this information will be accidentally disclosed to those with evil intentions.
However, considering that it is definitely too late to search such a large sea area with the power of the church alone, and that John Knight, as a formal paladin, will be recruited, it can be inferred that the extraordinary level of this incident will not be too high, so it will be difficult to mobilize.
The power of the gods. Therefore, if the local church wants to find the missing team, in theory, it should also find some reliable allies to help find it.
Lawrence believed that he had a good relationship with those Orthodox churches, so he felt that if the Passion Church really needed to find reliable help, he should be qualified. So soon after the ship set sail, Lawrence ordered the telegraph operator on the ship to explain the situation to the Passion Church and
I am self-recommended, hoping to get specific information.
Fortunately, there was a special set of secret codes within the Orthodox Church of Humanity, and Lawrence happened to know it. So he translated the telegram he wanted to send and gave it to the telegraph operator on the ship to send it to the Church of the Passion of God in New Netherland.
Church. Even if the telegrams sent out like this are received by outsiders, they will only receive a lot of garbled telegrams.
Ten minutes later, the ship's telegraph machine rang, and Lawrence received a telegram from the Church of the Passion of God. After taking the pile of garbled codes to his room and taking out his code book to translate them one by one, a smile appeared on his face.
I don't know whether it was because of his identity or his previous pleasant experience cooperating with the church. The Church of the Suffering God expressed its gratitude to him for participating in the search, and also told him some details about the team's search.
Just as he imagined, this team set out to find a possible semi-artifact related to their church. Because two days before the team set off, an adventure team affiliated with the church inadvertently found a previously unknown semi-artifact.
On the uninhabited island where no one has set foot, I feel some kind of divine power belonging to the suffering god.
But because they had just finished an adventure and were not fully prepared, the adventure team had to circle the island before returning to the Passion Church in New Netherland.
Since this team encountered several pirate ships when they left the island, the church was worried that delaying too long might lead to unnecessary risks. So after receiving the news, they hurriedly sent people to search. Considering that the previous team
encounter, they dispatched corresponding manpower. But what they didn't expect was that the entire search team disappeared this time.
"Our target is Charleston Island." After translating all the contents of the telegram, Lawrence walked to the conference room on the ship and said, "The church sent me a telegram telling me that the team's target is Charleston Island.
Dundao. Now it will be much easier for us to plan our action plan."
"Charleston Island?" Leisuo, who has been active in the Sea of Stars in recent months, thought carefully for a while and then a series of information came to his mind. "It is an island with a diameter of only more than ten kilometers, and there is a little fresh water on it.
There are also some shrubs and moss on the island. If we talk about its characteristics, I can only say that the surrounding reefs are too numerous, so ordinary ships will not approach that island at all."
"It is indeed very reasonable to hide things in this kind of terrain." Lawrence said after listening to Leisuo's introduction to the island. "This way, it becomes more likely that John and the others went to the island to search for treasures. And now we know
Once they have targeted their target, it should be easier to find where they may have disappeared."
After all, the waves in this sea area have not been very strong recently, and there are no observation reports of large extraordinary marine creatures on the various islands. Therefore, the probability of a ship being inexplicably in danger at sea is not high. Therefore, after knowing the route, they can
The search scope was then narrowed down to a few locations.
After taking out a nautical chart of the surrounding sea area and doing some work on the chart, Lawrence drew a few circles and lines on the chart with his red and blue hands, and then took out three coins and tossed them.
Then he held the pencil and clicked on one of the circles. "We only need to search for six points now. If everything goes well, we can search for the first point the day after tomorrow."
"Skull Reef?" Nora looked at the place circled by Lawrence and asked curiously. "Why here? If I remember correctly, the water depth in this place can reach two meters and a half at high tide, and it only emerges from the water at low tide.
.I can’t tolerate people at all.”
"According to the results of my previous contact with the church, because this place is somewhat off the waterway, no one is checking it now." Lawrence explained, "I am worried that their ship may have encountered some special situation on the road and changed its route." Lawrence explained,
"And I just used prophecy magic to tell me that I might gain something from going here."
In fact, the last sentence was Lawrence's determination to go there and have a look. He believed that his Bai Ze bloodline and the magical plum blossom divination results should be fine. This unremarkable reef area on the map is likely to contain hidden treasures.
There are clues to the disappearance of the team.
Now that the destination was decided, the Enterprise quickly adjusted its direction and headed straight for Skull Reef. Considering that this operation was to save people, and saving people is like putting out fires, speed was very important. In addition, there were many islands in the large sea area around it.
It could be used to replenish fuel and fresh water. So Lawrence simply ordered the ship to turn on the steam engine and move forward at full speed.
With the help of the machine, the entire ship sailed across the sea at twice the speed of an ordinary sailing ship. In less than three days, they successfully crossed the five-day journey that a normal ship would take.
After arriving a few nautical miles away from the Skull Reef, the sails were furled and the propeller was used to move forward at a low speed.
Fortunately, it was daytime at this time, the tide had receded, and most of the reefs were exposed to the sea. Therefore, the ship was able to carefully avoid these obstacles and move forward step by step. However, in order to ensure nothing went wrong, Lawrence still walked into the wheelhouse and passed
Bai Zetu summoned the phantoms of those aquatic monsters to detect the underwater situation near the ship to help the Enterprise navigate.
"This is really inconvenient." Lawrence thought while controlling the monster phantoms. "I must find a way to solve this problem next time."
In fact, when he was in the Old World, Lawrence saw that the Spellcasters Guild sold something called a sea exploration chart. When activated somewhere, it could display the situation around him with himself as the core.
It's a pity that that kind of thing is too expensive. An ordinary ship of five or six hundred tons may be cheaper than it. Not to mention that it requires additional magic power to be activated when using it. Therefore, it is often only used for the defense of important places.
Or equip certain magic ships and the leader ships of large merchant fleets.
Just when Lawrence was thinking about these things, the molar fish shadow that he had placed more than 110 meters away from the port side of the ship suddenly sent him a notification because it had discovered something unusual.
After receiving the notice, Lawrence immediately ordered a fish-man shadow next to him to quickly approach the direction of the molar fish and retrieve the thing he found. A few minutes later, a brand-new empty can was thrown from the sea onto the deck.
.Then it was picked up by the guard members waiting on the deck and brought into the cab.
