Chapter 573: Straight Hook Fishing

"How many ships are there this month?"

"It seems that the fifth ship, when I heard that it was salvaged, all the corpses were rotten, and even the top of the skeleton was covered with traces of being eaten by wild beasts, which was really miserable. ”

"Fortunately, I didn't take some money and go to those ships as sailors, otherwise I really wouldn't have come back this time. ”

"Any clues?"

"No, my son's classmate's sister's husband's brother was involved in this operation, and it is said that he has asked the legend to help, but he still hasn't got any information. ”

At the docks, the various porters were carrying goods, and they were chatting about the gossip they had heard from the sailors on the ships, and in addition to the recent torrential rain in Jutland, the most popular news was the goblins.

The message that can make the goblins deflated is the most popular information for these dock porters, partly because of what the goblins usually do, and partly because of the innate hatred and jealousy of the rich and the poor.

A fleet of goblins full of harvests, at least hundreds of merchant ships were besieged in a harbor with the fleet of the North Sea Pirate King Francis Drake, and everything, including the crew of the ships, became captured by Francis Drake, and none of them survived.

That loss alone made the goblins' profits reimburse for a quarter, especially the ransom of those captives, which was several times more expensive than usual, and it was simply a robbery while the fire was burning.

The goblins gritted their teeth and paid the ransom, or rather the fine, and instead of going to trouble Francis Drake, they focused on the development of the Scandinavian trade route, expanding the scale of the war money, and conducting greater trade to make up for the loss this time.

In order to prevent this situation from being wiped out, the goblins divided the merchant ships for trade, and each ship was equipped with heavy firepower, and the most elite mercenaries were hired to protect it.

Of course, Francis Derek doesn't need to worry too much, the previous ransom fines are actually an alternative protection fee, and she won't be attacking for a short time.

However, what I did not expect was that under such a proper arrangement, five merchant ships in a row, together with the seafarers on them, disappeared into the vast sea after leaving the port and disappeared into the vast sea without a sound.

Whether it was someone who attacked, or whether the captains of the merchant ships fled with their goods, especially the latter, who were in the goblins, such treachery and self-theft happened more than once.

In order to find out the cause and find the whereabouts of the merchant ships laden with goods, the goblins found the help of spellcasters who specialize in prophetic magic and the sea tribes in the sea, but there was no other information except for finding the wreckage and corpses of the ships, and it was not so simple to find out the cause of their deaths on the corpses eaten by fish.

Of course, the goods were not lost, but after many days of immersion in the sea, they could no longer be used and sold, and even the innocent Scandinavians would not suffer such a loss.

The loss of the cargo and the death of the crew are not really important, in the eyes of the goblins it does not matter, what really makes the goblins feel pain is the loss of the ship, trade should be carried out on the sea, and the ship loaded with the goods is the most important thing.

The news spread throughout the North, and even the Scandinavians who were dealing with the tide of beasts were glad at the loss of the goblins, because these little green dwarfs, skillfully riding the fire and robbing, angered everyone.

People are happy to see goblins suffer and happy to see them unlucky.

[In the night, the death messenger that no one discovers, brings a quiet death]

Such legends began to circulate in the northern continent, although most people thought that the goblins were too stingy and the guards they hired were not very high-grade, or because of those ogre trolls and the like, giving thieves who don't know where to jump out of nowhere.

Goblin wanted warrants have also begun to circulate, treasures, gold coins, beauties, power, etc., as long as you can solve the culprit of the attack on the goblin fleet, you can get the goblin reward, and the goblins can still keep their promises in this regard. (Because in this regard, the credibility of the goblins is much more valuable than these things)

Because of this thin wanted post, the whole north was boiling, especially those places where there was no war, and countless people who thought they were capable of it, packed their bags and rushed to the direction of the North Sea, in order to get the reward of the goblins.

It's just a small role that can deal with small thieves like ogre trolls, such a guy can easily solve no matter where he is placed in the Northland, and as for smashing and sinking ships or something, it's even simpler.

Goblins are hated by everyone, which is recognized as politically correct in the world, but people do not hate the wealth of goblins, and if they can get the rewards of goblins, then a little bit of hatred is very insignificant.

No one deliberately gets along with money.

"This wanted warrant, nothing, what is it called. ”

The whole body is shrouded in a black robe, and the hazy and hazy makes people forget when they look at it, no matter how hard they try, the memories are blank, as if they have subconsciously ignored it.

Qi'er walked on the docks, listening to the chatter of the dock workers, holding a wanted warrant issued by the goblin in his hand, the wanted warrant was very simple, except for a general record of what happened, it was a variety of rewards.

Find the news about the culprit, one is a thousand gold coins, enough for an ordinary family to have enough food and clothing in the city, and not worry about life.

If you can catch the culprit, you can get the help of the goblins once within the scope of your ability, and this condition is in the entire Northland, and the target is all the goblins in the Northland.

Even if it is just the goblins of the northern continent, their combined power is enough to subvert a country, and to do such a thing as changing the king, it is a temptation that ambitious people absolutely cannot refuse.

"Caught it, it seems that the goblins really want to get my ability, is this ability to silently destroy five merchant ships to be used against the Empire, or against Francis Drake. ”

Both the former and the latter have intractable conflicts of interest with the goblins, especially the latter, and Francis Derek's behavior during this time has annoyed all the goblins very much, swearing that he will teach her an unforgettable lesson in the future. (Goblin oaths are not much different from jokes, as long as there is enough interest, they are willing to break any oath, even the Styx oath)

Qi'er vigorously crumpled the wanted notice in his hand into a ball and put it in his pocket, this thing has been contaminated with her breath, and has already formed a [fate] with her, and it is impossible to cut off the connection in a short period of time.

If she is accidentally obtained by the enemy, with this thing, it is very likely that her traces will be exposed, and then she will fall into a crisis, there are all kinds of magical magic and magic in this world, and when dealing with those things, no matter how careful you are, it is not too much.

In the days when Alice was still training, Qi'er was not in vain, and a lot of knowledge filled into her mind made her maintain a cautious attitude no matter what problems she faced.

The reason why an assassin is called an assassin is that he relies on covert actions to take the life of his target without anyone noticing.

If the assassin's actions are pierced and targeted in a planned manner, then the assassin is not much different from a lamb to the slaughter, and the assassin exposed to the sun is not even as good as an ordinary warrior.

Qi'er appeared in this port, of course, not to collect intelligence or anything, with the empire as the backing, Qi'er does not need to collect intelligence by himself, her assassins will naturally summarize all kinds of information, and then pass it to her hands.

Those are all assassins who have been trained by [Hassan], although there is a great distance from Hassan in terms of strength, but ordinary intelligence gathering, assassinating targets, and hiding traces can still be done.

Just like the wanted post, there are some very messy patterns on the back of the wanted post, as if they were accidentally drawn.

But no one can imagine, in fact, it is the information that has been summarized, written in a unique ciphertext, and only special interpretation can read the information from it, such an encryption technique, without a trace of magic in it, although it can't cope with the reading of prophetic spells, but it is enough as a general ciphertext.

The information was about the movements of the goblins, and in addition to issuing a wanted warrant, the goblins began to prepare a sixth ship laden with cargo to Scandinavia.

The guards arranged on the ship are all of the highest level, two legendary berserkers, three high-level spellcasters, one druid from the snowy mountains, and about a hundred warriors who have come down from the northern battlefields.

Protective magic is cast on every part of the ship, and even a fly will be detected by the caster, and as soon as an unregistered intruder appears in the cabin, the entire cabin will be turned into a cage and locked up the intruder.

In the face of such all-round protection without dead ends, Qi'er can't be as easy as before, she is no match for the two legendary berserkers in a head-on battle, and stealth invasion, she needs to deal with the endless means of enemy spellcasters.

"However, this operation must not be canceled, and it must be killed like the previous merchant ships, and then sink to the bottom of the sea, destroying all traces, so that the name of [Tranquility] will continue to circulate in the Northlands. ”

Qi'er clenched her fists, she knew that this time was fundamentally different from the previous ones, facing a prepared target was the most headache for every assassin, and Qi'er was no exception.

However, this time is different from the previous ones, this is a fundamental change, if even the prepared and heavily armed ships disappear in the vast sea, and even the enemy cannot find them, other unprepared merchant ships will be feared.

With the spirit of the goblins, they will inevitably stop this kind of investment beyond their means, and will look for other projects that can make up for the losses of this part, which can be compared to those that trade with Scandinavia.

After getting rid of Scandinavia's Northern Sea Route, the rest can bring huge benefits to the goblins, and the only thing left to make up for the huge losses now is the Baltic Sea Route, which connects the entire north, which is blocked by himself in order to fight the Empire.

In this way, the goblins are facing a difficult problem to solve, and continuing to blockade Jutland will not make a little profit, and it will cause huge losses every day.

If you don't continue to blockade Jutland, all the investment in the early stage will be wasted, and it will not be so easy to find such a good opportunity to snipe the empire, and the empire will definitely be vigilant.

The goblin group is an imperial kingdom where the king has absolute power, and when the interests of the collective hurt the interests of the individual, the goblins who cannot afford to lose will attack the goblins who can still bear the loss.

Either the latter compensates for the losses of the former, or the policy of the entire group is changed and their losses are reduced, but whether it is the former or the latter, the goblin group will be caught in a period of quarrel, and can even take this opportunity to split and disintegrate the goblin group in the Northlands.

It can be said that whether Qi'er, who is now preparing to depart, can destroy this ship like he destroyed five ships before, is related to whether the entire Baltic Empire can break the deadlock.

Such an urgent task, personal heroism or something, did not exist from the beginning, and a steady stream of support from the Baltic Empire was sent to Qi'er.

The most precious of them is the artifact that Alice has been on her body since she obtained it, and has the ability to use invisibility, called [Morrigan's Invisibility Cloak], the most coveted treasure of all assassins.

Such an artifact, only when it reaches the legendary level can it barely exert the power contained in its years without harming itself, and it just so happens that Qi'er has advanced to become a legendary assassin, reaching the minimum standard for using this artifact.

After walking for more than thirty minutes at the docks, bypassing countless small alleys, and finally stepping into a dead end, Qi'er's figure disappeared into thin air.

Two hours later, the merchant ship laden with goods slowly departed from the dock, and amid the cheers and cheers of many dock workers, the white sails slowly hoisted the flag, giving people the feeling of being all prepared and confidently stepping into the battlefield.

"Did you find a trace?"

"No, it's no longer in this port. ”

"Maybe you're already on that ship. ”

In the corner where no one was looking, two figures who could not see the man and woman raised their eyes to look at the merchant ships sailing to the north, and whispered to each other.

"The big fish has taken the bait, let's go, go back and wait for the news of success. ”

As a gust of wind blew, there were no more figures in the corner.
