Chapter One Hundred and Five
Randolph's intelligence can be summed up in three points:
First, Sheean Riley probably foresaw the shipwreck. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Second, the shipwreck was most likely arranged by the presiding priest of the Church of the God of Nobility.
Third, Sheehan will soon be out of here.
"All things considered, I think Sheehan Riley is very suspicious. After settling down at the hotel for a while, Ray told all the information and then gave his analysis, "It is likely that he and the priest planned this together." β
No one has an opinion on his analysis. After discussion, they decided to visit the Garth Chamber of Commerce the next morning, the same chamber that Sheehan Riley had established here. If there are no surprises, where should Sheehan be stationed.
However, accidents always happen, and when they arrived at the Gars Chamber of Commerce the next morning, they were told by the doorman that President Sheehan had been busy arranging business for the next time and had no time to meet guests.
Ray frowned, and gestured to Steele. Steele, who had already cultivated a tacit understanding with him, immediately stepped forward and used the charm ability on the doorman.
Steele's seductive powers are powerful, and they are the embodiment of her "Holy Spirit" nature. If you want to resist her charm, even if the legendary powerhouse is afraid that there are many people who can't do it. That doorman is just a strong man, and he has just stepped into the ranks of "professional adventurers", and his strength is not as good as Liv's, how can he resist it?
It only took a second or two to make eye contact with Steele, and his gaze became glazed, completely losing clarity.
"Is President Sheehan here?" asked Steele softly.
"I don't know, I haven't seen him in days. β
Ray frowned and asked, "So who can see him?"
He said he was not feeling well during this time and had not seen anyone. β
"He's not feeling well? That's not what you just said!"
"This is what the president said earlier, and he said that if anyone wanted to see him, he would reply, 'The president is busy arranging business and has no time to meet customers.'" β
Ray frowned again and asked, "Where does he live?"
"The president lives in the room on the second floor, near the sea. β
Lei nodded and looked at Sui Xiong: "Your Majesty, can you please check that room?"
It is said that this trivial matter should not trouble Sui Xiong, but his heart is full of bad premonitions at the moment, and he is not willing to wait for a second.
Sui Xiong checked the room with soul sensing and found that there was no Sheahan Riley in it at all, but there was an old man with gray hair lying on the floor, with a dagger stuck in his vest, and he had been dead for several days, but the body was sealed by magic, so it had not decomposed.
Sean Riley is the son of the Lord of Garth City, and according to common sense, no matter how old he is, he can't be an old man. So who is this old man, and what is he going to be killed in Sheehan's room?
Sui Xiong cast a spell to cast the old man's back in the air, and asked the doorman about the old man's origin. I learned that the old man turned out to be the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, responsible for the daily affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and was also a close confidant of President Sheehan.
"Kill people!" Ray said coldly, "Looks like Sheehan has run away!"
Moments later, the entire Garth Chamber of Commerce was in shambles. The news that the president disappeared and the vice president was killed suddenly caused panic.
And Sui Xiong and the others gathered everyone in the Chamber of Commerce and asked one by one.
It took them a while to finally find out where Sheehan was goingβa guard in charge of the night patrol had fled one night eight days earlier when he encountered the hooded vice president. After analysis, Sui Xiong determined that there were traces of being confused by spells on his body, and combined with the inference of the time of the vice president's death, it was estimated that Sheen killed the vice president and used spells to change into his appearance and leave.
It's just that...... Why was Sheen in such a hurry to escape, and even to use such a method? What secret did he kill his cronies to hide?
"No matter what secrets he has, anyway, this is the only clue we have now, and we can only go after him. Lelo made a decision after thinking about it, "Most of the targets of his escape are Gars City, let's just catch up!"
"Do you want to fly along the course?" asked Sui Xiong.
"It's inconvenient for so many people to fly together. "Since he has been on the run for eight days, there is no need to hurry for a day or two, and when we are ready, we will set off by boat to the city of Gars!"
So everyone went their separate ways, and the carriages, horses, tents, and other things that were inconvenient for boating were sold, and ships were searched for to go to the city of Garth.
However, they did not find a ship to Garth City, and an experienced old captain suggested that they first take a boat to White Tower Harbor, then take a boat from White Tower Harbor to the Dhaka Merchant Alliance, and then take a boat from the Dhaka Merchant Alliance to the Blue Moon Kingdom. When you arrive at the Blue Moon Kingdom, you will be able to find a ship to Gars City.
"It's not a waste of time. "At most, seven or eight days of delay on the road is nothing for a long journey." β
He made a point, and so the matter was decided.
In the afternoon of the same day, they boarded the ship and headed for Baita Harbor.
From Yunta Port to Baita Port, the distance is not far. The client's mixed boat sailed smoothly in the calm offshore waters, and the ship had accumulated a wealth of experience between the two ports for many years, and both the captain and the sailors had accumulated a wealth of experience, and this sea area was like their own backyard, and they knew almost every reef and every undercurrent. Sailing on this ship is not only risk-free, but also quite relaxed and enjoyable, almost like a tour.
And after changing ships from Baita Port, the situation is more or less the same. To the east of the Mystic Tower Federation, there is a small country called the "Dhaka Business Alliance", which is based on maritime transportation and has an extremely developed maritime industry. For a long time, only the ships of the Dhaka Merchant Alliance were able to bypass the treacherous Iron Cliff Mountains and reach the Blue Moon Kingdom in the eastern part of the continent, thus monopolizing this section of the maritime trade.
After almost twenty days of sailing, trapped in a small sailboat, people inevitably become a little lazy, even Lady Teague and Liv, and Steele turned into a pig very undisciplinedly, playing with little Nice all day to pass the boring time.
Ray, of course, did not do so, and while he learned with great interest the sailors the art of navigation (the captain's navigation was kept secret), he taught his new disciples martial arts, and in his spare time he sat on the side of the ship and fished, not at all bored.
Compared to Liv, who has become a little lazy, Ranke is much more diligent. He would exercise hard every day, and every time he would practice until he was exhausted, and then he would continue to exercise after resting, and after careful calculation, he would practice for about ten hours a day.
As the saying goes, hard work pays off, and every drop of sweat will not be in vain. In just twenty days, his swordsmanship has made great progress. In Ray's words, "it's finally a little bit of a look", and in the sparring with Liv, he is no longer unilaterally pressed and beaten, but can do both defense and offense, even if he falls behind temporarily, he will not be in a hurry, which is indeed a bit of a swordsman.
But after they changed to a sea ship from the Dhaka Merchant Alliance to the Blue Moon Kingdom, their living conditions were not so comfortable.
They were on a pure passenger ship, and although the tickets were expensive, the cabins were in excellent condition, and apart from a slightly cramped space, the dΓ©cor and utensils were no worse than those of ordinary hotel rooms. However, the captain was a very strict old man, he was very stubborn, and he stressed all day that "the sea is dangerous" and did not allow passengers to move around on the deck.
was stuffed in the cabin, and even the thunder couldn't stand it after a long time. As for Sui Xiong, he simply returned to the sea, re-transformed into an appearance suitable for underwater operations, and wandered around.
Anyway, with him watching, what danger can this ship have?
But he was too optimistic.
As the ship sailed past the most famous reef group in the Iron Cliff Mountains, "Hell Bay", the originally clear sky suddenly became cloudy, and the calm sea also rolled up, and the waves one after another, like a blink of an eye, sailed into the storm.
The captain was taken aback, and immediately mobilized the sailors to take action, and while putting away some of the sails, reducing the speed of the ship and avoiding danger, he intensified his observation of the sea, and carefully avoided the reef, and perhaps more dangerous than the reef.
Because of their strength, both Ray and Mrs. Teague were invited to the deck to stand guard with the boatswain.
"Did you meet a sea monster?" Ray asked, curious and excited.
He has taken risks for so many years, killed mountain demons, fought dragons, and met gods, but he has never encountered a sea monster!
The boatswain's weather-beaten face was full of solemnity, and he said worriedly: "It is indeed a sea monster, and it is not an ordinary sea monster. Maybe it's the 'Tide of Fury' Hemsala. β
"Hemsala, the one on the same level as Timsar 'Darktide'?" Ray was stunned for a moment, and when he received an affirmative answer from the boatswain, he couldn't help but be even more curious.
"Raging Tide" and "Dark Tide" are two of the most famous sea monsters on the main plane, and they are not only powerful, but also have many legendary stories. But until now, no one has figured out what they really look like and what they really are.
Of course, Ray knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to spy on the true body of the legendary sea monster with his own strength, but now there was His Majesty the Void Mask! His Majesty would definitely be curious to check what was going on, and when he saw it, how could he not tell himself?
"I can't imagine that I can encounter such a good thing when I go out to sea!" he couldn't help but laugh, "maybe...... I'll be the first mortal in the world to know what 'Raging Tide' really looks like!"
He relayed the boatswain's words to Sui Xiong through a psychic connection, and Sui Xiong was really curious, and went straight to the heart of the wind and waves to find out.
In the middle of the wind and waves, he saw a churning magic, driving the surrounding sea water as if it were boiling. And a small whirlwind surrounded the boiling water, forming a tiny tornado.
If you look closely, at the core of that mass of magic, there is actually a wisp of divine power. It was steady and calm, not at all as fierce as the sea and the whirlwind, and even motionless, as if it were asleep.
"Hello, is this Hemsala?" Sui Xiong tried to make a thought and say hello to it.
When his mind touched the magic power, the wisp of divine power in the center shook a few times as if awakened, and then a reply came.
It was a very vague thought, but in general, it was.
Hello.
