Lukka took the gem and looked at it closely. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ollie suddenly shouted, "Luca, look this way!"

Following her voice, Lukka came to a brick wall on the side of the street, where there was a dilapidated bulletin board, the paint on which was mottled and peeling, but the information on it was new, and all the information would not be more than a week old, judging by the date of payment.

In the corner of the bulletin board, there is a nondescript wanted poster. In this era of no cameras, the portrait on it is not very similar, so even if Lukka had seen this piece of paper at the docks, he probably ignored it entirely.

But now, he read the text below the wanted notice:

Joseph Mores. The reward amount is 50,000 credits.

The date marked at the end is today.

"What's going on? aren't the Knights and the June Alliance on the same side?" Lukka asked, scratching his head.

"Fifty thousand!" Thea looked at the number with stars in her eyes, "Will someone be found and exchanged for money?"

Daniel glared at her, "I think you're worth more!"

This is true, although the fact of the existence of magical creatures in the Sunset Islands is not widely spread among ordinary people, but on the black market, a piece of goblin wings can be sold for a sky-high price, and a few dragon scales on Thea's body should be worth this price.

"The man has been captured by the Union soldiers. Crete, who had fallen behind, rushed up and said.

"How do you know?" asked Nora in surprise.

"I asked the residents of the neighborhood," Crete said, pointing to a spice shop on the side of the road, "and the owner of the shop has been around here and has seen the whole thing." ”

......

"This idiot!" asked the spice shop owner for the sixth time, and Daniel angrily tapped the door of the shop.

"Don't worry, I'll pay for your door!" Lukka shoved a dozen silver coins into the hands of the trembling spice shop owner, and pulled Daniel back to the ship. The money must be deducted from Daniel's next dividend, he thought as he walked.

"Are we going to save someone?" Ollie couldn't wait to pull out the whetstone.

"It stands to reason that this matter has nothing to do with us, and it involves a dispute between the June Alliance and the Knights, so I'm afraid it's not easy to get involved. Ignoring Daniel's eyes, Crete insisted on saying the words.

"I don't know what the problem is between them, I know one thing," Lukka said solemnly, frowning, "Taylor still owes me money, twelve and five thousand silver coins." ”

"Just going to ask for money?" Daniel was visibly disappointed.

"Of course, it's normal to bring one or two people out by the way when you ask for money, right?" Lukka said.

Ollie thought, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by shouting from the pier trestle.

"Captain Lester's mail!" shouted a young man in a Sunset Express uniform, holding a letter with a fire-lacquered seal in his hand.

Lukka took the letter, but he refused to leave until he paid a tip for a silver coin. In such a comparison, the bear child Fil on the back sail harbor suddenly became cute.

The envelope was heavy, with dark gold streaks on the paper, and the fire paint seal on the back was in the shape of a stag.

Lukka opened the envelope and, as expected, the letter came from Taylor. The above content is very simple, probably to invite Luca and others to go to the Alliance Government Palace early the next morning to hand over the remaining money. As for Mores, there is not a word.

For a moment, no one was sure what was wrong with the letter. But for Luca, with or without this letter, he has to collect debts.

He wasn't going to get involved in any political disputes that would make people think about it, but Mores had brought him to the island, and if he got the money and threw the people back to Leighton Island, Luka's trip would have been a success. As for what Mores will have with Taylor after he returns, it is completely out of Luka's consideration.

But is Taylor really the one he saw in Layton Harbor two months ago?

"We'd better split up. Crete's proposal was immediately adopted, and several people discussed it and prepared a plan of action for tomorrow.

The next day, Lukka added invisibility to most of the crew, except for himself and Ollie.

They plan to divide up in three ways: Daniel and Thea use invisibility to find Mores's traces on the east side of the palace, Daniel and Nora are also incognito and follow Luca and Ollie to meet Taylor, and Luca and Ollie take the letter and make an official visit to the palace of the Alliance.

Shut up and monitor in the air, and any changes in the situation can be reported in time.

Before leaving, Ollie also deliberately disguised herself with an opal ring. When she met Taylor in Layton Harbor, she didn't show her true face, but the opal ring didn't allow her to appear in the same way, so I can only hope that Taylor is old and has memory loss, and I can't remember if there is such a person.

When all this was ready, six men, two visible and four invisible, stepped off the Peregrine Falcon.

The pier is not close to the Government Palace, and as yesterday, Luca plans to rent a horse-drawn carriage to get there. This time, he deliberately looked for an oversized one.

When the carriage began to move, the coachman frowned, obviously there were only two people in the carriage who were not fat at all, why did the carriage seem to be as heavy as carrying several times the passengers?

The journey should take no more than fifteen minutes. But ten minutes later, the carriage suddenly and slowly stopped, and stopped moving.

"Why don't you leave?" Lukka asked, opening the door and getting out of the car.

No answer was heard, and he and Ollie walked to the front of the carriage.

The coachman didn't say a word, his mouth grew up, and he looked up to the sky, as if he was about to catch bird droppings.

On the street in front of the car, more than a dozen carriages were parked in a disorderly manner, and the people who drove the car and the passengers who got off the car were all like the coachman, looking at the eastern sky in amazement.

Lukka couldn't help but think of the joke that one person had a nosebleed and hundreds of people followed to watch the sky. He was not spared, and raised his head in the direction that the others' eyes were pointing at.

Then, too, he was speechless.

Above the eastern horizon, a rising sun had just risen. This would have been the most normal sight.

But now, the sun's rays are much dimmer than usual. The surface of the sun seems to be covered with a gray layer that obscures most of the sunlight.

"Eclipse?" asked Ollie, rubbing her eyes, even the dim sunlight that could bring tears to her unprotected eyes when she looked straight into it.

"No, not an eclipse. Lukka whispered.

The surface of the sun, with its countless jumble curves, was tangled and tangled, and the shape was exactly the same as on the strange silver coin and in the ruins of the seabed, except that the lines here were pure black in color.
