The monthly auction ended successfully, and the group gradually walked out of the auction hall, Nonan glanced at Phyllis with a smile, and also left the auction with the group of Cappadocia family. But Phyllis and the others had solemn faces, and several of them gathered around Darko, and Darko opened the pupil of cause and effect to look at the fist gloves in his hand, and fine beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead.

Phyllis asked eagerly, "How's it going?" can you see where she is now?"

Dakko let out a long breath, closed his eyes and rested for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "No, a little time has passed, and the causal lines on it stretch out in all directions, and it is difficult to take into account so many causes and effects at the same time. If I can determine her approximate location, I can probe in a targeted manner so that I can see further. ”

After learning that the pupil of cause and effect originated from the law of cause and effect, Dakko's pupil of cause and effect was able to really play its due role. However, the consumption of mental power on the other end of the pursuit line is very huge, and even with the strength of Daktronics' mental power, it is difficult to bear the pursuit for a long time. If it was just for one connection, then he would be able to see the length of several kilometers all the way, but this glove is a superior level of equipment, and there are dozens of causal connections on it, which makes it impossible for him to do both.

"It doesn't matter, we can also buy news from the Gafreshak family, this group of black-hearted businessmen likes to sell the news of their employers. Besides, we paid so much money for this glove, and they should naturally contribute some extra value. Phyllis thought for a moment, took out a thousand gold coins and put them in a pocket, and called the maid in and said, "I want to know the news of the seller of this boxing glove, the more complete the better, if I can provide her whereabouts, I will add money." ”

After a while, it was not the maid who returned, but a middle-aged waiter, who obviously had a certain status in the auction house. He greeted a few of them, then returned the bag of gold coins to Phyllis. Phyllis asked curiously, "Why? Don't you want to leak the seller's news? Or don't you have enough money?"

"We've always been fair in the amount we pay to sell news, and that's naturally enough. It's just ......," the waiter muttered, "this seller is wearing a cloak, and his voice doesn't sound like his own, so we can't confirm his identity, so we can't provide you with information, I'm sorry." Personally, I suggest you go to the Skua Guild to place an order, maybe they can provide useful clues. ”

Phyllis and the others glanced at each other, and although they couldn't confirm their identities, they had enough information from the waiter's description that it was almost certain that the waiter was talking about Wendy herself. The only problem now is how to locate Wendy's location, and after thinking about it, they found that what the waiter said about going to the Skua Guild to place an order to buy the news is indeed a good suggestion, and it is also the best choice in the current situation.

Otto finally asked, "We want to know exactly when and where she traded this gloves." ”

"Five days ago, at 11 o'clock, the valuation was carried out in room four on the second floor, and she came alone. ”

When the group came out of the auction hall, it was not early, they walked quickly in the direction of the dock, and from a distance, it seemed that the sunfish had been repaired, and its appearance seemed to have been maintained, and it looked much more beautiful. Phyllis didn't pay attention to these, but directly approached the second officer and asked, "Is there any money left for repairing the ship?"

The second mate nodded and said, "You gave me 10,000 gold coins at that time, and it took less than 2,000 to repair the ship, and there are more than 8,000 gold coins left with me." ”

"Give it to me. Phyllis took back more than 8,000 gold coins from the second mate, so that counting her remaining 15,000 and the 11,800 gold coins obtained from the Dakko auction scroll, there were more than 35,000 gold coins, which was enough to place an order from the Skua Guild to track down a person's whereabouts. Compared with the previous spending of thousands of dollars, after buying gray mirrors, Phyllis finally began to make careful calculations at this time.

After resting on the Sunfish for the night, Phyllis and her party went straight to the Skua Guild early the next morning. The major guild stations on Bulon Island are built next to the docks, because the docks are the busiest place, which is also convenient for various transactions, and the Stuart family is because they are mediated by the sailors' guilds, so the stations are not built next to the docks.

"The predecessor of the Skua Guild was actually a pirate group, and its name was called the Skua Pirates. Originally, this pirate group was just a pirate group with a wide range of professions, and the captain's concept was to be eclectic and introduce all talents, because the profession involved a wide range, all kinds of news were also very well-informed, and other pirate groups often asked for help to find out the news. Later, the Skua Pirates simply formed into a guild, specializing in selling all kinds of news, and in just a few years, it became the second largest guild in the Venus plane, second only to the Sailors' Guild in scale. Along the way, Otto kept briefing Darko and the others about the Skua Guild.

"There are three main types of business that the Skua Guild receives. The first type is confidential information, this kind of information is usually grasped by the Skua Guild very early, but few people know it, which increases the value of the news, such as wanting to know the name, function, and function of the 25 holy artifacts. The second type is time-sensitive, often the employer has already signed a contract with the skuar, and when this kind of news appears, the employer will be notified as soon as possible, such as a newly discovered treasure on an island, the skua will be charged in combination with the valuation of risk and return; the third type is of the nature of personal needs, such as we now want to find the whereabouts of a specific target, we need to call resources and population to find, this way of placing an order by the employer is also the most expensive situation. ”

When Otto and his party arrived at the Skua Guild residence, there was already a polite gentleman waiting, his mustache meticulously trimmed and a courtesy smile on his face, "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Jonas, the head of the Skua Guild's residency on the island of Bulon. ”

Darko was taken aback, they had only decided to come to the Skua Guild last night to buy news, and the other party had received the news and greeted them at the gate of the station. And knowing their identities, it was the person in charge, Jonas, who was waiting here, apparently the Skua Guild was proving their intelligence-gathering capabilities to their employers in this way.

Phyllis and the others were soon ushered into a luxurious parlor, with beautiful maids serving coffee and soda, which was a heaven and earth compared to the service of the Sailor's Guild. But Otto knew that the Skua Guild was also hierarchical, which was linked to the status of the employer. If it's just a no-name junior who trades news, the treatment will not be much better than that of the sailors' guild.

"We're looking for the seller of this boxing glove, who showed up at the auction at 11 o'clock five days ago. "Otto is familiar with this kind of affairs, so he is involved in many negotiations in the Venus plane, and others think that he is Phyllis's butler.

"It's easy, locating the location of a target within the limits of Bulon Island, that's our guild's specialty. Jonas took the gloves and looked at them carefully and said confidently, "But if the target is off the island, it is not my authority, at most I can only track the whereabouts of the target until he boards the ship." ”

Phyllis thought that finding someone on the island would be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack, but she didn't expect Jonas to be unimpressed, she said with some suspicion, "It's a very important thing for us to find this person, and she wears a cloak, and there are many people wearing cloaks on Bulon Island, if you find the wrong one, you will delay our big business!"

"Miss Nike Remmons, please trust professionalism. Jonas smiled politely and replied without humility or arrogance, "The price of searching for the designated target on the island is 4,000 gold coins, if you can't believe it, you can also participate in the search process, but in that case, the price will be raised to 14,000 gold coins, because it contains some secrets and personnel information of our guild." ”

"I'll give you fourteen thousand, find someone for us quickly, the sooner the better. "After experiencing the astronomical figures at yesterday's auction, Phyllis and the others were also secretly affected, feeling that it was too cheap to find a person for only four thousand gold coins, and the Skua Guild was simply the conscience of the industry.

Phyllis didn't bother to sign the contract and transferred the gold coins directly to Jonas's ring. Jonas also knew that the matter was urgent, and quickly took out a huge crystal ball, on which a map of Bulon Island appeared. He first zoomed in on the area around the auction hall, only to see a dozen small points of light appear around him, and these points of light were still moving. Then he called up the timeline and pulled it forward for five days, and as the timeline was pulled, some points of light moved out of this area, but there were always new points of light that would enter, maintaining some kind of dynamic equilibrium, but there were a few points of light that rarely or even did not move. The picture gradually became clear, and it became a real map, and those points of light also turned into a person, some of them were pedestrians on the street, some were shopkeepers, and some were beggars and homeless people on the street.

Darko suddenly realized that each point of light represented an eye and ear of the Skua Guild, which was equivalent to revealing the identity information of multiple ears to them, no wonder he had to charge an extra 10,000 gold coins. Darko was influenced by his previous life in the Church of Light, believing that the identity of the eyes and ears and spies was extremely confidential information, and it was easy for outsiders to know, and Jonas was willing to leak it for only 10,000 gold coins, not too much, but too little!

"Borrow your memories. As soon as Jonas finished speaking, a silver-gray glow lit up on the back of his neck, which Darko recognized as the glow of the glyph, but he had never seen any of the glyphs silver-gray. Just when he was wondering, a few points of light on the crystal ball had turned into pictures, which were everyone's perspective, and even the phantom of the nose could be seen.

"It's ...... Memory!" Darko exclaimed. It's a picture taken from everyone's memory, like a combination of some kind of spiritual spell and light magic, but in fact it's just the function of a glyph, and the name of this glyph is called memory. The silvery-gray glyph on the back of Jonas's neck is a memory glyph, but it is not the only one that can achieve this effect. This glyph must be inlaid on everyone's body in order to be able to call up the memory vision, and the exploration of other people's memory vision can be unidirectional or mutual. Since this type of glyph needs to occupy the carrying capacity and does not help in battle, few people are willing to inlay this type of glyph. However, it is an excellent method of gathering information, provided that each individual is willing to share their privacy, so the memory glyph is a very rare glyph that even Dakko did not recognize at first.

Jonas only nodded slightly, and did not respond to Darko, but fine-tuned the time, carefully searching for a target in the fast-forward memory vision. Soon, a cloaked figure appeared in one of the frames, and Jonas looked at Darko and the others with a look in his eyes.

Otto shook his head and said, "The style of the cloak has changed, and the size of the air magic is different from before, so we can't be sure if this is the person we are looking for." ”

Jonas nodded, his finger tapping his finger on the crystal ball, "Track." ”

The points of light on the map immediately moved with the change of time, and every time the target disappeared in one eye-eye's field of vision, it would appear in the other eye-eye field of the target's moving direction, and basically every moment the cloaked figure appeared in the eye-eye vision of more than three people. Some are just glimpses when you turn your head, while others happen to be on the same path and appear in vision for a longer period of time. This tracking is not any spell or ability, it just uses a large number of eyes and ears to achieve this effect, which is not possible with many high-level spells and bloodline abilities.

Dakko saw this form of tracking, and suddenly he seemed to have a kind of understanding, B12's real name ability tracking, Dakko also understood, it could only roughly guide the target's travel route, but could not achieve such a precise effect. In this tracking process, in fact, the key role is played in the crystal ball to control the position of the eyes and ears, identify the direction of the target's movement, and change the perspective in real time, a series of simple processes, although simple but large amount of operation, these are completely completed by alchemy machinery. The Skua Guild uses a combination of alchemical techniques and glyphs to achieve results that cannot be achieved by individuals.

The same is true of all kinds of alchemical weapons in a person, such as Darko has a real name ability control, but Wendy's spell control ability is not below Dakko through strong control enchantments, matching glyphs, and daily targeted training. At this time, Darko finally understood that the role of higher-level glyphs was to simulate certain bloodline abilities, and even real name abilities!

"Wait!" Kevin suddenly stopped Jonas, "In that scene, the movement of her rubbing her wrists, as if there was a flash of light from a ring. ”

Jonas hurriedly recalls the moment of the action and freezes the target visually from the memory of different ears and eyes. Kevin nodded firmly and said, "That's right, although I can't see the style of the ring on her hand clearly, but the one that can reflect the orange and yellow light must be the large-mouthed monkey ring I forged!"

A person's memory, even if he tries to recall it, cannot reproduce the original vision very clearly, but through the memory glyph, it is perfectly reproduced. The ring on Wendy's finger, which the eyes and ears didn't even notice, was recognizable to Kevin in his memory vision, and that's what the glyph does.

"It's easy to be able to confirm your identity. ”

After that, he continued to follow Wendy's trail until Wendy boarded a pirate ship from the docks, and the image on the crystal ball disappeared and changed back to the map of Bulon Island.

"This is the flagship of the Black Shark Pirates, let's see if the target has ever left this ship. Jonas clicked on the red point of light at the dock, and the scene on the dock had already appeared in the flickering light on the crystal ball, this time no longer the effect of memory glyphs, but the image recorded by a video crystal installed by the Skua Guild at the dock. This crystal is a very expensive alchemical product, and it is only arranged in key locations such as the docks.

Jonas also relaxed at this time, and introduced while continuing to track, "Becoming a member of our guild is very simple, as long as you reach the threshold of the primary level and can carry the memory glyph, you can share your location and memories with your superiors at any time. Each time a memory is invoked, they are rewarded with five gold coins from the guild, and if valuable information is provided, they can also get more gold coins, which many homeless people rely on to buy alcohol and drink. ”

Darko calculated a little, just now in order to track Wendy, a total of more than 160 ear memories were called, which means that the Skua Guild needs to pay more than 800 gold coins for this, but Jonas collected 14,000 gold coins from them!

"Only the Venus plane, which is strong in folk style, can find so many junior professionals with carrying capacity. Kevin had already seen that the people who provided the vision were not pirates, nor were they former members of the Skua Pirates, but just ordinary junior professionals. Even the shopkeepers, dock porters, and even roadside beggars are all junior professionals, and the overall combat effectiveness of the Venus plane can be imagined.

"Isn't this a leak of your privacy?" Phyllis had a different focus than Dacko and Kevin, and never imagined that so many people would be willing to make a small profit by selling their privacy.

Otto explained this question to Phyllis, "Before the advent of the Age of Discovery, the Venus plane was a very barren plane, and most people even had problems with survival, so what privacy and dignity could we talk about?"

Kevin turned his back to Phyllis, clenched his hands into fists and leaned forward, making a gesture that a man understands, and whispered to Darko with a smile, "And when doing some private things, the thought of being able to be spied on makes me feel comfortable." ”

Darko was speechless for a moment, wondering what was going on in Kevin's head.

"Of course, this price is also related to status, you have different identities and naturally remember things that are more valuable, if you are interested in being our eyes and ears, the price will naturally not be so low. "Jonas, like a businessman, began to encourage Darko and others to join the Skua Guild.

"The value of my memories is not at all what you can afford!" Phyllis pouted disdainfully.

Darko and the others also shook their heads in silence, they are all different from ordinary people, and there are too many secrets in their memories that cannot be used by outsiders, and it is impossible to sell them to the Skua Guild for intelligence. Even Kevin smiled helplessly, it seemed that what he didn't want to leak was more important than what he wanted to leak.

At this time, the scene at the dock had fast-forwarded until yesterday, and Wendy had not gotten off the ship, so several people were completely relieved. But then they exclaimed again, because the Black Shark Pirates' ship had left the dock and sailed away.

"The Black Shark Pirates also participated in the monthly auction yesterday, and they have sailed since the auction ended, and they are probably hundreds of kilometers away now. ”

Phyllis hurriedly asked, "Are there any eyes and ears of yours on that pirate ship?"

Jonas said apologetically, "When our guild was a pirate group, we signed a contract with other pirate groups not to probe the news inside the pirate ship. ”

Darko and the others were disappointed when they heard this, but they thought it was right, after all, the Skua Guild was started by a pirate group, and there are many unspoken rules to follow as a pirate.

But Jonas immediately said mysteriously, "Although you can't find out the news inside the pirate ship, you can still find out the location of the other party's pirate ship." ”

Dakko suddenly realized that this loophole was probably left when they signed the contract.

"Tell us where the ship is, then?"

Jonas manipulated the crystal ball, and the map of Bulon Island on it immediately shrank out, revealing a map of the surrounding waters and islands. When the area of the map is magnified by a hundred times, you can see a bright spot appearing on the surface of the sea, and that is the ships of the Black Shark Pirates.

"The Black Shark Pirates are in the Madeco Sea at this time, judging from the route, they should be heading to the Loa Islands, and since the Black Shark Pirates are mainly engaged in the trade of magical metal raw materials, I speculate that their destination is Kars Island. With your ships sailing at full speed, you should be able to catch up before they reach the island. ”

If the previous tracking only relied on memory glyphs, then this series of analyses is purely based on mastering a large amount of information and powerful computing power.

"Even the speed of our Sunfish is well known, and the Skua Guild is really pervasive. "Phyllis has made up her mind that she must check all the sailors on the ship, and all those with memory glyphs will be sent to the deck as battle sailors, and they will be used as cannon fodder if they encounter pirates again.

Jonas just smirked and didn't say anything.

Phyllis transferred another 3,000 gold coins to Jonas, "This is the cost of the later news, no need to look for it." ”

Even if she ran out of money, Phyllis still couldn't get rid of the habit of being generous, and then ran out with Darko and the others, who had to sail as soon as possible to catch up with the Black Shark Pirates in order to reduce the variables. Otherwise, if the Black Shark Pirates dock, they will probably lose Wendy's whereabouts again.

Jonas suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly ran out, "Hey, that route is very close to the territory of the giant sea urchin, you have to be careful! No one in the sea is an opponent of an eighth-order demonic beast!"

Jonas stood at the door, but Phyllis and the others were long gone.
