After everyone had a brief chat in the small square in front of the church, everyone boarded the ketch through the boat ferry and inspected it. It may be because of the professional nature of the profession, but
Within ten minutes after the group of clergy boarded the ship, they discovered some clues that Lawrence had never discovered before.
"The things this ship once transported should be related to a certain cult church, because I can feel the evil power flowing in this secret room." After checking the small secret room at the bottom of the cabin, a paladin from the Passion Church said
He said with a serious face,
"It's a pity that because this ship has been contaminated by so many sources of evil power, it is difficult to pinpoint what the missing thing looks like."
"It's really bad. Why can such a ship still sail on the sea?" A young Agricultural Church priest muttered in a low voice. After all, for these priests, it is normal for these priests to use the breath of the evil god to lock each other's identity.
It was a sure thing, but I didn’t expect to encounter a snag this time.
"After all, people always have some goods that are not convenient to transport with other things, so as long as trade exists, this kind of secret transport ship will not end." A priest of the Church of Fortune said. "I have already cooperated with this region
I have contacted the bishop, and if nothing unexpected happens, we will know the specific identity of this ship soon."
In addition to sensing the aura of the evil god, these priests also accurately judged the time when those personnel left the ship: it was two days before the ship was discovered at the island's lighthouse.
These messages were also sent to each church to help each church determine as much as possible the path the ship had passed before and determine the specific identity of the ship.
Although this ketch tried to hide its identity through a series of modifications and disguised all the supplies on the ship, this disguise did not have much effect under the joint investigation of various churches. Soon, the Commercial Church used the church to
A dark spot in the northwest black market revealed the ship's identity.
"The information has been found." By this time, everyone had completed the inspection and returned to the shore and gathered in the conference room below Lawrence's office. While everyone was discussing, a young trainee priest from Fortune Church ran over.
He said while holding a piece of paper.
"According to the information from the church in the north, this ship was previously registered as an ordinary transport ship, but it is actually a secret transport ship belonging to the fleet of the Thieves Guild. It has been using the excuse of offshore transportation to travel in the Star Sea and
Transporting some dangerous and obviously illegal things around."
"I don't think this ship has only transported things with a certain degree of danger before." Nora whispered beside her. "Because if this thing is really as dangerous as said, this ship should not
As for unexpected situations like this."
"It's hard to say in this situation." Lawrence shook his head and said. "Because there are so many types of extraordinary items, especially some of them have special hidden abilities. So when transporting these extraordinary items, I accidentally
It is normal to bring any dangerous goods on board. This ship must have just been unlucky and happened to encounter something that could have an effect on the sea or send out some kind of signal."
At this time, the trainee priest had informed everyone present of the information they had just investigated. In addition to the forces to which the ship belonged, they also found out the identity of the consignment party. Unlike what they imagined, this group of people was nothing.
A cult or a devil worshiping organization, but a group of guys called Sea Walkers.
Sea Walkers is a general term for the personnel who are sent ashore by intelligent marine creatures. Some of them are from forces that are closer to humans. The other part are spies sent ashore by those guys who are extremely hostile to everything on the shore. According to
Investigation revealed that the group of people consigned this time were from a certain marine life force that expressed hatred for everything on the shore.
"So I think the disappearance of the people on the ship and the things on the ship may be a result that the shipper hopes for." Mr. Lambert said to Lawrence. "Because just now each church specially mobilized a force to find the group of consignors and receivers.
However, everyone failed. Judging from the situation in the empty house, they probably left after completing their tasks."
"Leaving directly, this is really suspicious." Saifei asked with some confusion, "Since they sent such things away through the channels of the Thieves Guild, didn't the Thieves Guild feel there was something wrong?
?At least if it were me, I would definitely suspect these things if I found out that the guest left suddenly."
"If you transport something by normal means, this kind of behavior is very suspicious. But for the black market underground transportation network dominated by the Thieves Guild, such customers are really normal."
Mr. Lambert shook his head and said. "Don't forget, those who need to transport something through this transportation network have various reasons to avoid the sight of most people, so after completing the consignment procedures,
It is a very common operation to disappear directly afterwards.”
"They didn't ask -" Lawrence suddenly realized what he was saying, thinking that facing a group of guests who wanted to hide everything about themselves, the reason why this underground transportation network can operate today is likely to have a basic principle.
Just don't inquire about any customer's privacy, otherwise this underground network would not be able to continue running to this day.
"Yes, we did not get any more information from the Thieves Guild except that it was confirmed that what was sent was a metal box about the size of a watermelon." Mr. Lambert said.
"But they can confirm that the metal box is made of a common demon-hating metal. In other words, the thing itself is likely to have some special magic radiation. This is basically consistent with Lawrence's previous guesses."
"Your Excellency August, there is new news from the church headquarters." At this moment, a trainee priest from the Church of Knowledge came in with a thick stack of documents. "This is the person who disappeared nearby recently.
Ships, as you guessed before, there was only one ship missing recently in the place you are looking for."
"Thank you." Lambert took the document from his subordinate and nodded to him, then distributed the documents to everyone present, and then said. "This is what I asked the headquarters for before asking about this ship.
According to the traffic records of ships in the area where they may have disappeared in the recent period, it is obvious that all other ships have successfully reached their destinations."
"If it is a sea monster attack, there are likely to be other victims. Even if there are no victims, there will be a large number of witnesses. Because sea monsters often do not take the initiative to hide themselves."
As the person who has dealt with all kinds of extraordinary creatures the most, the priest of the Agricultural Church present immediately said, "The act of accurately locking a ship on the route and taking away all the people and goods on the ship can basically guarantee that it is not a sea monster.
What you did.”
However, after the discussion reached this point, the matter reached a deadlock, because now everyone has nothing more to do except confirm that someone has indeed bypassed various supervision through this method and sent some extraordinary items to some sea tribes that are hostile to ground creatures.
From the information, it is naturally impossible to deduce more detailed content about this matter.
Of course, this does not mean that everyone is doing nothing. At least the church has decided to organize an exploration team to go to the place where the ship disappeared within three days to see if more clues can be found. In addition, they have also
Someone will be sent to Lawrence to take away the ship and the barnacles found on it.
