Chapter 42: The Struggle

Pap ~ Pap ~ The sound of raindrops crashing against the windows was a little hurried.

The dots are connected into a line, the lines are connected into a surface, and finally the entire window is covered, and the wiper is activated, which blows all the rain away, and continues to repeat.

The departure from Moss Island was brought forward by almost a full day, as all the passengers returned to the cabins.

The captain was reluctant at first, doing his job is about credibility, and if there are no people, he will leave, in case there is any mistake or omission, if it is known by the outside world, it will be a loss to the guests.

People know that you are a captain who leaves without waiting for anyone, who would dare to get on your ship?

Well, there are always exceptions, especially when one of the guests on the ship shows off the money bags and their weapons from the other passengers, and there are a few who echo it and say they have seen the bodies of those guys.

Waiting for the dead, there's no need, isn't it?

Besides, the two murderers are around.

There is a law to kill people at sea, but Drenham doesn't care about people who go out and land on those islands outside the waters under Dmingham's management and die, for the simple reason that they can't control it at all!

Whether it is the police department or the anomalous investigation bureau, they all know the situation on the overseas islands, and sometimes they may just look at each other unpleasantly, or a meaningless quarrel, and they will have to divide life and death, and the corpse will be eaten by the wild beasts on the island within a few days.

Uh~hiss~

The short-haired woman was in a mental coma for more than an hour, and her consciousness finally woke up, Anthony underestimated the mental power of a wizard, and the physical scars did not affect her mental strength.

Even though she couldn't move yet.

"Where am I ......?"

Looking at the surrounding scenery, it should be a cabin, not a ship's lounge, but the captain's room, she is just lying on a chair behind the rudder, and there is a white cat squatting beside her.

When Finger saw the woman awake, he jumped down from the nearby crate and ran to the floor-to-ceiling window next to the captain's quarters, reaching out and tapping his paws against the glass to get Donald's attention.

"You've finally woken up, what's going on Moss Isle? Who are you, I've seen quite a few of your companions' corpses on the ground. ”

Donald wanted to find out what was behind the woman, so he asked Finger to wait by her side all the time, while he and Anthony were always leaning on the side of the boat outside, with backpacks and the like in the cabin, and people with rain cloaks and were not afraid of getting wet.

The woman glanced at Donald, but did not speak, but leaned back in her chair and looked up at the roof of the cabin, the sadness in her eyes difficult to hide.

"In fact, I saved you for a reason, and this is what I found in you...... You don't have to move, I didn't want to rob you. ”

After a while it was time to go ashore, Donald didn't want to find the people of this sect and found nothing, so he took out the ring that he had taken from the woman's finger, and the latter was so concerned about this object that he struggled to get it back, so much so that Donald had to take the initiative to put the ring on her hand before continuing,

"Look at this, what my parents left me, in their letters they said that if I take this ring, I can join you, and I keep it until I see you today. ”

The side knock had little effect, Donald could only go straight, directly took out the ring he was carrying, walked up to the woman, and showed her a look.

"Golden Ring ......"

Noticing the ring, which was clearly different from theirs, the woman finally spoke.

As for this "golden ring", Donald thought about it not to talk about its material, but to express a certain meaning it represents.

"Actually, if you didn't have a ring that resembles it, I wouldn't have saved you at all, if you could, could you tell me about your situation?"

Noticing a noticeable softening of the expression on the woman's face after he took out the ring, Donald knew he was doing the right thing.

"We were attacked by the Spear of Norton, and everyone but me ...... All, all dead...... I'm damned too. ”

The woman glanced at the captain who was still at the helm in front of her, as if to confirm his identity, her voice weak and hoarse, sounding like an old man on the verge of death.

Norton's Spear, Anthony is right, this organization is targeting these people.

"Then why are you on Moss Island? And there are so many people, can't you notice that the Spear of Norton is following?"

For a wizard and a group of wizards, the combat power is not something that can be calculated by a simple addition, and the combination of different spells can often produce more powerful combat power.

And this group of wizards was wiped out on a low-intensity island, and there was not a single corpse of anyone else at the scene.

"It's a goddamn trap! ahem...... They must have found out that Baggins had spotted a mutated beast...... Let the beast kill him, and deliberately let him send a message in front of him or borrow his hand...... sent a distress message to the sect and tricked us into coming to this island, and they came with us, the ship...... That ship!"

The woman's staccato words gave Donald a rough idea of what happened.

The man who held the note on the Black-clawed Mole found by Donald and Anthony was the Baggins of the woman's mouth, and whatever he knew of the existence of the Black-clawed Mole on the island, his movements were presumably being watched by the Spear of Norton.

After the Norton Spear found out that Baggins was actually going to sea alone, he immediately sent someone to follow him, came to Moss Island, and looked for an opportunity to get rid of him with the help of the black-clawed mole, maybe the Norton Spear was not exposed in this matter, and Baggins sent a distress message to his sect out of the will to survive, or after Baggins' death, Norton's Spear used some kind of device he held to send a distress message.

Regardless, Baggins' sect received the message and immediately sent a team to rescue them, only to fall into the trap of Norton's Spear and find an opportunity to assassinate them on Moss Isle.

If it weren't for Donald's accident, Norton's Spear would undoubtedly be a success, and once all these people died on Moss Island, when the sect found out about it, it would have been after the storm week, and all traces would have been destroyed by this primeval forest and storm, and there was no way to find out.

"Why are the Spearmen of Norton chasing you?"

Donald realizes that the sect is not as safe as he thought.

“...... Power!"

The woman was silent for a long time, and finally gave such an answer, Donald wanted to continue to ask, but she closed her eyes, and the meaning could not be clearer.

So Donald left the cabin and returned to the side of the deck.

"How's it going?"

Anthony wears a peculiar mask, not a peculiar appearance, just an ordinary mask, the key is that there are some mechanical mechanisms of the mask in the eyes and mouth, as well as in the ears.

When the rain accumulates to a certain extent, Anthony will press a small mechanism next to his ear, and in the blink of an eye, the lens seems to be replaced and renewed.

"I have a ..... of her faction Token, my parents used to be involved in her sect, so I chose to save her before, they were tricked into going to Moss Island, and they were assassinated by the Spear of Norton, and suffered heavy casualties, she said it was due to power, I don't quite understand...... Your mask is a curiosity?"

Donald didn't have goggles, his face was covered in rain, and he didn't want to go into the crew's rest cabin, which smelled worse than smelling the wind and rain outside.

"Masks? This is what I asked someone to make, you just came to Demingham, I don't know it's normal, the mechanical technology here is very developed, I will introduce you to a place after I go back, he specializes in making these masks, not only can cover the face, but also has a lot of functions, such as this lens return, this is only a primary function, the lens barrel on some of his masks can even be enlarged and reduced, but the price is another level. ”

Anthony turned around and switched lenses a few times in front of Donald, and the conversation returned to the woman in the cabin,

"I've heard people talk about the Spear of Norton in the Sea Bazaar, this group often appears in assassinations between forces, and the woman in it should belong to a certain sect according to you, and say that it is due to power, so I think it should be her organization that provoked another organization to fight for some kind of ...... Assassinating each other in status or something is not uncommon in Dmingham. ”

As a long-time resident of Dmingham, Anthony clearly knows more than Donald in some ways.

"Not uncommon...... There are often assassinations?"

Donald spent nearly two months in Psyston and read the newspaper every day, but never saw anything like an assassination.

"Yes, for example, in the previous whale oil industry, when several large companies and forces competed for the priority development of this technology, the fight was inextricable, and the fight here was not about anything, but the real battle, whether it was business or politics, or assassinating each other in private, during that time, the newspaper office in Dmingham, the news agency was very happy, and every day when they got up, there was big news waiting for them to report. ”

Dorsham is not only far superior to Peston in terms of social level, but it is very different in every way.

Here, the major chambers of commerce, consortia, and power organizations are no longer vassals of politics, they are participating in politics and using these networks to seek a share of their own profits in this commercial metropolis.

This is an unavoidable development trend, and the struggle of interests is often the most tragic struggle, and if you want to get the best part, you naturally have to fight and grab it.

If you want to gain a foothold in Dmingham, if you don't have factions, back-ups, networks....... Stuff like that.

Then it is impossible to really become a vested interest.
