Chapter Seventy-Six: A False Alarm
Although I don't know if what Saya said before is really credible, the situation is urgent, and Leach doesn't care about verifying the authenticity, so he and Saya start the Meizu Enchantress's guiding engine like a duck on the shelf.
Fortunately, Saya lived up to Leach's trust, and although the Enchantress was a little stumbling when it took off, it finally set sail safely.
However, because he didn't know where he was now, Leach could only choose a random direction. His luck was good, and after about half an hour, the Qiyang Wilderness appeared in sight.
When the Meizu Enchantress docked in port, it caused quite a commotion.
The person in charge of the port woke up to find that the luxurious guide airship that had been parked here had suddenly disappeared, but he was shocked. He had naturally heard about the mysterious group of thieves who had recently appeared in Ambrera, and the sudden disappearance of the Mazu Enchantress had worried him for most of the day, for fear that his employer would come to him and demand compensation.
Judging from his perennial cultivation, even if he mortgaged the entire port to others, it might not be enough, not to mention that according to the agreement, once there is an accident with the guide airship here, he needs to compensate the other party twice for the loss.
Just when his hair was almost gray, the report from his subordinates made him ecstatic, and the disappeared Enchantress had actually returned on its own!
Only then did he remember that this guide airship had been inhabited for the past few days, and when he thought that the airship had been stolen, people were probably playing happily in the sky.
Thinking of this, the person in charge of the port didn't fight in one place, rolled up his sleeves and walked out quickly, planning to reason with the other party.
But when he saw the Charm Blue Enchantress, which was trembling like an old lady with inconvenient legs, he suddenly remembered that the pilot on it was an authentic novice, and if it was not good, he was afraid that it would cause a catastrophe here in the port.
Fortunately, with the previous "rehearsals", although the person in charge of the port was not confused, he immediately ordered his subordinates to vacate a large open space for the other party to toss at will. Anyway, if the employer makes the problem himself, he doesn't have to bear any responsibility even if it's on his territory, on the contrary, he can confidently claim compensation from the other party.
Just when the person in charge of the port was making a small calculation and cursing the Meizu Enchantress for something, Leach finally sweated profusely and let the guide airship land safely with Saya.
Opening the hatch, the first thing Leach saw was the angry head of the port.
"Mr. Hoffman, I hereby solemnly warn you, if you want to drive the guide airship away in the future, you must register with me first, otherwise I have the right to terminate the docking agreement with you immediately!"
Although he was anxious, Leach also knew that the other party must have been at a loss during the time when the Enchantress disappeared, so he patiently explained: "Sorry sir, things are not what you imagined, our guide airship was indeed stolen by someone last night, and we didn't drive away without permission." ”
"You're still cunning...... Y-What are you talking about?" the person in charge, who was still menacing, immediately stammered after hearing Leach's words.
Leach knew at a glance what he was worried about, but he was still in a hurry to report to Wright, so he didn't have time to argue with him here, so he waved his hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to be responsible, anyway, we have already found the airship." I'm still in a hurry, can you please let me know?"
"Oh, good, good, good! You are here, you go slowly!" As soon as he heard that he did not need to be responsible, the person in charge of the port naturally gave way with joy.
All the way to the City Lord's Mansion, the three of Leach were immediately summoned by Wright.
"Hehe, aren't you busy practicing, why did you suddenly come to me when you have time?
"No, Uncle Wright, we have something to report to you, and that's how it is......" Leach didn't have the heart to joke with him, and quickly recounted what happened to the three of them.
"Hehe, I see, things aren't as bad as you think, don't worry. ”
Leach thought that Wright's face would change greatly immediately after getting the news, and he would look solemn at the worst, but seeing his relaxed face, he couldn't help but become more and more anxious: "Uncle Wright, don't you think this matter is very strange, how can you be willing to do some petty theft when you can get the organization of the guide cannon, there is definitely a problem here!"
"Hehe, don't worry, it's okay. Wright was still unfazed, "But I'm glad that little Leach, you're finally a little manly, and you know to help me share my worries." ”
"Uncle Wright!"
Seeing that Leach was so anxious that his forehead began to sweat, Wright didn't plan to continue to tease him, and said, "Little Leach, I understand everything you are worried about." However, I said no problem, and it is indeed no problem. ”
Leach's eyes widened, and so did Saya. Only Lena was still muttering about letting go of the port manager and making a lot of money.
"I've heard of this house of troublemakers. Judging from their modus operandi before, I already had some suspicions, but now that you have brought back clear information, everything is explained. ”
"Have you heard? Tell us that the gang is really all crazy, and I don't know where they came from!"
"This house of troublemakers was made up by the children of a high-ranking official on the federal side because they were idle and bored, and all the manpower was selected from the army to be disobedient to discipline, but some of the 'thorns' of the army. They don't steal for money at all, just for excitement and fun. ”
"At the beginning, they were just making a small fuss, and the Federation turned a blind eye to it because of the face of that high-ranking official. But slowly, the petty fight could no longer satisfy them, and taking advantage of the position of the high-ranking official, they actually got the guiding weapon out of the army. ”
After the incident, the federal top brass was furious and wanted to arrest and punish the children of high-ranking officials with capital punishment. But that high-ranking official is in an important position, and he is also a representative of a major force in the Federation, so naturally he will not watch his children being sent to the gallows. ”
"After using all the resources, the forces of the high-ranking officials reached an agreement with the other forces. The children of high-ranking officials are required to hand over all their earnings and are not allowed to commit crimes in the federal territory. On the other hand, they can continue to cause chaos elsewhere, and the Federation can even secretly provide them with weapons, and all the proceeds will go to the Federation, except for the necessary funds for activities. However, there is a need to ensure that the weapons provided are not acquired by outsiders, otherwise severe punishment will not be granted. ”
"Now you understand, it's just that the house of the troublemakers just happened to place the crime in Ambrera, and it's not as complicated as you think. And the things I entrusted your master to investigate are just to know what new things have been researched by the Empire. As far as I know, at least so far, there is no sign that the Empire is going to use troops, so you don't have to worry about it at all, it's just a false alarm. ”
