Chapter 339: Bag Drop
Looking at the team of small but obviously well-trained guards in front of him, Lukka couldn't help but get nervous.
However, although the guards were well equipped, their weapons were unsheathed, and they all wore the same smiles on their faces as the Rak in the harbor.
"Hello!" the captain of the guard greeted him in the same friendly manner.
"Oh, hello. In the smile of the other party, Luca also became polite.
"Excuse me, are you delivering goods for the Undercurrent Chamber of Commerce?" asked the captain of the guard, pointing to the black mailbox.
"That's right, it's already in. Luca said.
"Thank you for your hard work, then we will accept it now. The captain of the guard pulled out a brass ring similar to the one on the mailbox, only slightly smaller.
This time, Luca was even more relieved. If these boxes of candied fruit are left in this box for too long, it is inevitable that there will be many dreams at night, and maybe they may really be stolen. But now these dwarfs have not delayed any time, even if the thieves have this heart, they will not have a chance to do it.
The captain of the gnome guard had a solemn expression, and seemed to value the goods in the mailbox. He took a deep breath and climbed onto the mailbox with his hands and feet on the shoulders of a guard next to him. The copper ring is at the top of the mailbox, and if you want to open the mailbox, you need to lift the upper baffle, and Luca has no problem doing these actions, but for a dwarf who is less than a meter tall, it is really quite laborious.
The captain of the guard placed the slightly smaller copper ring in his hand in the middle of the mailbox, and there was a "click" on the top of the mailbox, and the defense was relieved. He slowly pulled open the closed baffle and looked nervously inside.
Lukka and his crew were curious, and the inside of the mailbox seemed to be in good shape, with the three wooden boxes still neatly stacked inside.
"They're not big enough, it's going to be hard to move these, and you big guys aren't going to help!" Thea said to Luca.
"No, no!" the captain of the guard looked up from the box and waved his hand repeatedly, "You must not do it, you are sending goods, if you meet again before we receive it, then this transaction process will not be right!"
Lukka didn't understand his logic at all, but when people explicitly refused help, he was happy to sit by and watch.
Several dwarf guards worked together and tossed for a long time before transporting the three boxes from the bottom of the box.
The captain of the guard held the wooden box, but the expression on his face did not become relaxed at all, but shook his head with a disappointed face.
"Is there a problem?" Ollie looked at Lukka suspiciously, only to find that his face had become serious.
"The seal on it is gone. Crete said.
"Could it be that this chest will dispel magical energy?"
"No," Lukka shook his head, "the boxes have been dropped. ”
"Why? you just put it in!" said Ollie, surprised.
"Yes, and I checked it just now, and the box is very sturdy, and there aren't any hidden tunnels or anything like that at the bottom. But these boxes are really not the ones I just put in. Luca said.
"Are you sure?" Thea still couldn't believe it.
"Of course," Luca said with certainty, "I marked the boxes a little when I put them in. ”
"But if the seal can be dispelled, your magic mark may not be left behind. Thea said.
Lukka nodded, "I know that, but if the spell above is dispelled, I'll feel it." And, in addition to the spells, I used my fingernails to make a scratch on the lids of each box, which are now as smooth as mirrors. ”
"Stealing under our noses! lawless thief!" Thea cursed loudly, unaware that she was a thief herself.
"Don't worry, the spell is still working," Lukka said with a smile, "why don't we see where those three boxes have gotten now?" ”
With that, he raised his hand and activated the light spell on the box.
This spell effect had helped him more than once, and the pillar of magic was supposed to shoot straight into the sky, like a lighthouse on the sea, marking its location.
Now, Lukka clearly felt that the three light spells had been activated, but there was no trace of the magic light pillar on this small island.
"Doesn't even magic?" asked Thea, "could there be something that would obscure your light?"
Shut up and flapped his wings: "Yes, yes, but those things contain rich magical energy, if you are around here, let alone this idiot mage, even you should feel it." ”
Lukka is completely clueless now, should he explore the whole island with a mana stream? This may be able to find some clues, but doing so will probably drain his mana pool, just for three boxes of preserves, isn't the price a little too great?
He was hesitating, and his knee was tapped twice with a hand.
"Sir, do you have time, can you come with us?" said the gnome guard, holding the box, as he walked in Luca's footsteps.
Before Lukka could reply, Thea preemptively said, "When we put them in, those boxes were in good condition!
"You don't have to worry, this situation, alas," the captain of the guard smiled wryly, "we are used to it. ”
"Then why did you arrest us? Tell you, we're not easy to mess with, you squad, I can deal with it with one finger!" Thea said with wide eyes.
"No, no, you misunderstood," the captain of the guard quickly explained, "we didn't want to arrest people, I wanted you to meet our mayor." You're human, and if I see you and don't invite you, the mayor will blame me!"
"Not for the boxes?" Thea was still staring at him.
"No, no, the contents of the box have been stolen for so many years, and we are used to it. Moreover, you are here to send these things for the Undercurrent Chamber of Commerce, where do we dare to do anything to the allies of the Undercurrent Chamber of Commerce?" said the captain of the guard.
"In that case, we're just going to meet the mayor anyway, so let's lead the way. Lukka thought for a moment and said.
Lukka followed the guards towards the largest building to the west of town, the "largest", about the size of a normal cabin on the Peregrine Falcon, and more than half the captain's quarters of the Silent Death.
After two intersections, he was about to reach the entrance of the building, but the captain of the guard stopped at the last fork.
"That's all I have to take you here. He looked back.
