Chapter 255: The Secret of the Golden Statue (Part II)

Not long after the Joan of Arc departed, a galloping carriage rushed to the docks, and groups of dock porters were so frightened by the carriage that they fled in all directions, and the shouts and curses followed. Some of the annoyed porters even picked up their poles and walked towards the carriage parked on the dock, wanting to come forward to theorize, but when they saw the two gorgeously dressed foreign women coming down from the carriage, they all turned their heads and retreated with black faces like deflated persimmons.

I saw that one of the two women had a fiery red head, wearing a very prominent American cowboy costume and a certain wide-brimmed cowboy hat on his head, and the other wrapped his entire body with a black cloth, and his face was also veiled, revealing only a pair of large eyes with black frames, which looked very charming. These two women were Catherine and Beth, who had dealt with Xu Changqing, and after seeing them get out of the carriage, they looked around anxiously, as if they were looking for something, but soon their faces showed disappointment.

"Do you feel wrong? Although I am not as capable as you in this regard, if I am nearby, I should be able to feel it too?" Catherine frowned slightly, her face was slightly gloomy, and she turned her head to Beth, who covered her whole body with a black scarf, and asked, "You also said that you felt it last night, but later you said that it was an illusion, and it will not be ...... this time."

Beth also showed a puzzled look, took a few steps forward, slightly closed the big eyes with long eyelashes, as if she was feeling something, and soon she opened her eyes, turned her head, and said in a firm tone: "No, this time I did feel it!" Although it was scattered by the people on the dock, the power emitted from the golden statue still had some remnants around. As he spoke, he turned around and walked slowly to the depths of the dock, until he reached the berth where the Joan of Arc docked before, and then said, "Here, the power of the golden statue is scattered from here to all around. ”

Catherine quickly followed, looked at the dark water in front of her, and said, "You mean the golden statue is in the water." ”

"Not really. Beth shook her head, raised her hand to the air above the water, and said, "It started here," and then pointed towards the open sea of the harbor, "After that, slowly move towards the open sea." ”

"Moving to the open sea?" Catherine looked at the open sea along Beth's hand, and suddenly thought of something, her face changed slightly, and she beckoned a dock keeper from not far away, and asked, "Excuse me, is this the berth of the Joan of Arc?"

Looking at the woman in front of him who was a head taller than himself, the dock keeper muttered disdainfully, "Why is a woman so tall if she has nothing to do!", and with a flattering smile on his face, he pretended to take out a notepad, looked through it, and then replied in not too pure English: "Miss Hui, the Joan of Arc was indeed docked here before." Are you two passengers on the Joan of Arc?"

"It's not. Thank you!" Catherine got the news she wanted, and with great amusement, she pulled a silver dollar out of her pocket and handed it to the dock keeper. She was about to tell the notekeeper to go away when she stopped him again and asked, "When will the fastest ship to Europe be?"

"There were no ships going to Europe in two months, and the fastest one would not be until three months later. The dock keeper touched the silver round in his hand and smiled, without the slightest impatience.

Catherine frowned, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "And what about the fastest ship to Southeast Asia?"

"It's eventful. The dock keeper muttered in his heart, and in the spirit of taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people, he looked through the notebook very carefully, and said: "Recently, there is a Daxing ship to Southeast Asia, which is bound for Bangkok, Thailand, at four o'clock in the afternoon, and then it is a ship to the east. ”

Having received the answer she wanted, Catherine ignored the dock keeper and turned to Beth, then turned away and walked towards the carriage. Beth didn't understand Catherine's intentions, and wanted to ask about it immediately, but her body still habitually didn't speak, and quickly followed. It wasn't until the two of them got into the carriage and after the carriage left the dock that she couldn't help asking, "Why do you suddenly want to ask about the ship going to Southeast Asia?" ”

"Catch up with the Joan of Arc?" said Catherine, smiling, pointing to the ships docked at the docks outside the window, "Are these just the ships? Did you know that the Joan of Arc was one of the fastest cruise ships in Europe, averaging fifteen knots and twenty knots. These ships could not catch up with it, even if they saw its shadow. ”

"And what are you going to do?" asked Beth, who obviously didn't like the feverish look in Catherine's eyes when she talked about the ship.

"What should we do? Naturally, if we catch up, it's just that we don't chase from the sea, we go from 6. Catherine took out a stack of maps from her pocket, then flipped through a map of Asia, pointed to the map, and said: "Joan of Arc will call at five ports in Asia, Brunei in Luzon, Lampung in Borneo, Colombo on Sri Lanka, Mumbai in India, and Aden in the Arabian Peninsula. The time it took for the Joan of Arc to sail at sea, plus the time it took to call at various ports, would have taken about a month and a half to reach Mumbai. We can take a boat to Bangkok in the afternoon, which will take about five to seven days at sea, and then cross the South Asian Continent from 6 places, and a month will be enough time for us to reach Mumbai, and then we will only have to wait for the Joan of Arc in Mumbai. ”

Beth didn't say much, she knew that she was far inferior to Catherine in arranging the trip, but after thinking about it carefully, she still said with a little worry: "Although we are chasing the Joan of Arc, the purpose is the golden statue, if the golden statue disembarks halfway......"

"Don't worry, the golden statue won't disembark halfway. Catherine said with great certainty: "As far as I know, that Xu Changqing is on the Joan of Arc, and his ticket destination is Alexandria, and I am sure that the golden statue must be in Xu Changqing's hands." As he spoke, he clenched his fists again and said, "The golden statue is related to whether the surname Kadalina can be restored to its former glory, no matter what the price, I will get it." ”

Beth looked at Catherine's determined expression, smiled understandingly, and then gently recited a spell, and her body turned into a black mist, and the black mist quickly shrank together and turned into a black cat. After the black cat's form was consolidated, it shook its body, jumped on Catherine's knees, and licked Catherine's hand affectionately, as if to comfort her.
