As an armed smuggling ship that transports various important items on the sea of stars, such a sailing ship itself has powerful force to deal with possible attacks by sea monsters or the gangsterism of some pirates.
Not to mention that their trade this time is a serious taboo from a smuggling perspective. Once discovered, they will definitely die in a very rhythmic manner. Therefore, before departure, a comprehensive reinforcement of the ship and the personnel on board was carried out.
.
For example, after the battle, Nora took Lawrence to visit the lower deck of the ship. Lawrence discovered that the lower deck indeed contained some additional cannons in some cabins as Nora had guessed. And these cannons looked like
They are all of the latest models and equipped with sufficient propellant packs and shells.
In addition, the ship also had several magic scrolls for reconnaissance or attack, as well as extraordinary people who specially joined for this voyage. Unfortunately, they did not expect that the attacker would be a top powerhouse at the peak of the legend, let alone
This strong man actually used sneak attack techniques that completely ignored his identity when facing absolute weaklings like them.
As a result, due to this series of accidents and surprises, the people on the ship were not able to stop or even fight back. They didn't even have time to activate the final self-destruct system when they were all controlled by Nora. Then the entire ship
In this way, it completely fell into the hands of Lawrence and the others.
"If I'm not wrong, this ship should be one of the rarer smuggling ships that has fixed points in the sea. It is the rarest type of smuggling ship."
Before, Lawrence and the others encountered a smuggling ship that turned into a drifting ship in the port area, so after that incident, Nora went to the Church of Knowledge out of curiosity and obtained the church's detailed records of all the pirates in the area. Therefore, after the prisoner
After picking up this fast sailing ship, Nora immediately recognized the specific identity of this ship.
"What is that, a fixed-point smuggling ship in the open sea?" Lawrence didn't know much about these things, so he immediately asked curiously after hearing what the little doll said. "I know that there are at least one ship sailing on this ocean.
Half of them do smuggling business frequently or occasionally, so what is the biggest difference between this ship and ordinary smuggling ships?"
"The biggest difference between this kind of ship and other smuggling ships is that this kind of smuggling ship is unique to certain forces, such as the white gloves of the surrounding nobles or island controllers. It does not accept any external tasks."
When Lawrence asked Nora, she replied, "At the same time, in order to hide themselves, these ships basically do not enter ordinary ports. They often only sail between some special hidden ports."
"No wonder this ship is dyed black." Lawrence said to Nora after returning to the upper deck. "Because this ship has no intention of entering a normal port, it adopts such an extreme hiding state. And below.
The safe and the secretly installed steam engine all highlight this."
Just now on the lowest deck of the ship, Lawrence not only found some modest supplies, but also found a small steam engine and a small safe made of steel.
The cabin around the small steam engine was reinforced with a series of steel structures, and was connected to a shaft to drive the propeller at the stern. In order to conceal it, even the chimney of the steam engine was specially made into a retractable one.
Folding chimney.
Of course, Lawrence also discovered some important information from the details when he checked below. For example, he found that the supplies in the cabin below the ship were very scarce and could only be used for about a week at most. From then on,
From this, it can be inferred that the departure point of this ship should not be too far from this place.
The subsequent torture of the prisoners confirmed this. Since it was already confirmed that these guys were raped, there was naturally no need to adhere to many humanitarian ideas during the interrogation.
So Nora quickly released her silk threads and inserted them into the prisoner's brain, and then began to read the information inside.
"Hey, I've never seen this method of torture of prisoners before." Lawrence asked curiously after watching Nora control the nearly ten prisoners in front of her like a puppet. "Why haven't I seen it before?
Have you ever done this, is it because it is too difficult to perform this kind of magic?"
"Of course not." As a doll, Nora naturally has the ability to do two things, so she said to Lawrence while reading data from the brains of these people,
"For me, it is not difficult to read the memories in the brains of intelligent creatures through this method, but this method will also seriously damage the life and soul of the subject during the reading process. Therefore.
I am not suitable to use such magic when facing those who have committed less serious crimes in the past."
The three views of the little doll are actually very close to Lawrence, so she will control herself in the application of her power and will not abuse her power. Therefore, only under such circumstances will she fully reveal her power.
, in order to obtain the secrets hidden in them in the shortest possible time.
"I probably know what's going on." Nora said to Lawrence after reading the information in the minds of the captives on the ship. "We are not bad luck. One of the captives here was sent by the cargo owner to escort the cargo.
representative. And his brain stores a lot of information about this operation."
According to the hidden information in this guy's mind, his direct superior is in a semi-independent noble territory in this region. He has been maintaining some unfair economic transactions with these sahuagins before. And this time it is those sahuagins.
The fishmen used evidence of previous transactions as a threat to force the other party to sell a large number of magic props and magic scrolls!
"A large number of magic props? This can indeed change the situation of the war." Lawrence immediately became energetic after hearing Nora's words. After all, magic is the primary productive force in this world. And a large number of magic props and magic scrolls are enough to change the current situation.
The situation on the battlefield. "By the way, what kind of magic are these things?"
"The magic in the things they are selling this time is mainly phantom magic and a batch of simple combat magic scrolls, similar to low-level magic like Dancing Shield, Activating Rope, Jumping and Sharp Hand."
Nora said, "By the way, the other party also specifically asked for a lot of stone shaping scrolls. It feels like some kind of project the sahuagin people are going to do."
"And according to the information I obtained from this person's mind, their departure this time can be considered very hasty. As soon as they received the order during the day, they set off directly from the island and came straight here." Nora finished.
To sum up.
"What this ship did before was not normal. For smuggling ships, these ships will only take such a route if they receive an order very hastily and the delivery time is very tight. Otherwise, they will try their best to
If possible, avoid going straight and exposing your lair.”
"That is to say, the sahuagin people most likely issued a trade request late last night or early this morning." Lawrence closed his eyes slightly and muttered, "If I remember correctly, we made an agreement with the Loka fish man last night.
They followed the rules of escape and released those Loka fishmen back, hoping that they can get some of the Loka fishmen to withdraw from the war."
"Brother, are you saying that those Loka fish yesterday were lackeys of the sahuagin and wanted to use this matter to launch a raid?" Nora frowned after hearing what Lawrence said. "But I clearly knew yesterday.
I feel that their request should come from the heart, rather than trying to set a trap for us."
