"What? Wren, are you scared?" asked Augusto, seeing Wren's distraction. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wren woke up from his contemplation, looked at Augusto, shook his head, and said, "I wonder how the commander of the naval fleet has something to do with the thieves. ”

Ogudo smiled and said, "Of course it's the benefits! ”

With that, Augusto stood up and walked over to the box again,

Once the necklace is placed, turn out a wooden cup.

He picked it up and walked outside the house, rinsed it and walked back.

After picking up the fruit wine on the ground and biting the cork with your teeth,

He sniffed the wine with his nose before filling the glass and handing it to Wren, who began to drink from the bottle.

The bandof thieves also helped him collect smuggled goods from the interior. Ogudo told the truth.

Smuggle?!

The commander of the naval fleet smuggled ?!

This kind of information caught Wren by surprise.

What a stake it must be for a fleet commander to risk such a thing.

But now things are pretty much clear.

The [Wind Gathering Group] is ostensibly a group of thieves, but in fact it is the personnel who assist in Vienda's smuggling.

They usually steal with their children, and when they have a task, they go to smuggle.

The following night, the two talked a lot about Vienda and [Wind Collecting Group].

The two have already discussed and decided to start from Vienda and solve the matter of the [Wind Picking Group].

To solve Vienda's problem, his smuggling must be exposed.

However, Vienda is a member of the military department, and in this [Ruby Harbor], in addition to the governor's ability to restrain him,

No one could touch half of his hair.

The key to dealing with Vienda is still with the Governor, who must help expose Wienda to Parliament.

Ogudo was very sure that the governor knew about the smuggling of Vienda and the [Wind Gathering Group], but the new governor had only inherited his father's business for a year.

A lot of things are just getting started, and I can't spare the energy to take care of them.

Ogudo estimated that the governor would not be able to spare manpower, and that there were too many disputes between old and new officials waiting for him to deal with.

So he kept asking his friends on the dock to help him find clues and gather evidence.

Now the approximate route, time and place of Vienda's smuggling have been mastered by Augusto, but only this evidence is difficult to obtain.

Because Vienda rarely visited Ruby Harbor, he spent most of his time on the naval garrison of Sea Dragon Island.

Smuggling of deliveries is also carried out mainly on several small, uninhabited desert islands in the vicinity.

Although Ogudo's friends were able to help him find this information, they did not have a boat to track down the smuggling ship and collect evidence on a desert island.

Now that Rennes has the Dragon Eagle, there is finally hope for tracking the smuggling ship and going to the island to collect evidence.

However, now the [Dragon Eagle] is on its way to sea, and it will be about a week before it returns.

Ogudo told Wren to wait and inform him when the Dragon Eagle returned.

The two chatted until four o'clock in the morning.

Since Ogudo was going to get ready for the morning's work, and things were already about the same,

Wren took his leave and returned to the Sailor's Hotel.

......

A week later, the Dragon Eagle returned smoothly.

Mr. Hofdent excitedly reported to Wren that all the goods ordered by the major customer had been bought.

After budgeting, I earned at least 20,000 gold coins on this trip.

In less than a month, I made money that I had earned in the previous months.

It seems that doing business in the United Empire of Rice Eagle is quite lucrative.

Seeing that Mr. Hofdent was so good at management, Wren decided to adjust the distribution of profits from the Dragon Eagle caravan.

Later, thirty percent of the caravan's income went to Mr. Hovdent personally, and seventy percent to the Dragon Eagle Regiment.

Mr. Hoofdent was so moved by this adjustment that he actually cried in front of Wren.

After Mr. Hovdent calmed down, the two discussed the future direction of the caravan.

Wren left Mr. Hofdent to continue to manage the caravan.

As for the warriors of the mercenary group, Wren gave half of them to the Bruz brothers, so that they could continue to follow Mr. Hovdent,

Responsible for securing the caravan.

The remaining half of the mercenary warriors, as well as the [Dragon Eagle], will be ready to participate in the next mission.

Wren informed Ogudo of the return of the Dragon Eagle on the same day, and Ogudo seemed very happy.

He tells Wren that there will be a smuggling deal for Vienda tonight and that it's time to go to Wienda for bad luck.

The two agreed to meet at the dock at ten o'clock in the evening, and then went back to prepare.

......

Ten o'clock in the evening came quickly, and the dark clouds were heavier tonight,

There is almost no moonshine.

Large and small ships walking on the sea, can only see the anti-collision signal lights hanging on the ship,

I couldn't see the ship at all.

Sea smuggling in such weather could not be more suitable.

Wren soon waited for Ogudo on the dock, but Ogudo didn't come alone,

He also brought a friend with him.

At first glance, Wren was startled, and he was actually the boss of [Conch House].

"Wren! tonight's operation needs the help of Boss Tadoni, so I brought him here. You wouldn't mind, would you?" said Ogudo as he pulled the Conch House boss in front of him.

Wren smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind!" The deck of the [Dragon Eagle] welcomes you at any time. ”

"Wow, is that your ship? Boss Tadoni asked, pointing to the [Dragon Eagle] docked on the dock.

The Dragon Eagle is an elite destroyer-class armed merchant ship, docked on the dock like a wild boar in a chicken coop.

It looks so dazzling in a bunch of ordinary small and medium-sized fishing boats and cargo ships.

Wren immediately proudly took Boss Tadoni and Ogudo on the [Dragon Eagle] together.

When Boss Tadoni saw that the Dragon Eagle had three masts, he excitedly said to Wren, "Who is the lookout and the navigator? Let me go up and take a look." ”

"But it's such a dark night......" Wren said hesitantly, looking at the sea in the distance.

"It's all right, young man! On this dark night, I can even see the reef under the sea. ”

Boss Tadoni patted Wren on the shoulder and reassured him.

"Okay, but wait a minute, I'll introduce you to the captain of our [Dragon Eagle]. ”

Wren then took Tadoni and Ogudo to the captain's quarters, where Captain Robert was recuperating and waiting for his evening mission.

Seeing Wren lead the two in, his eyes that were originally casually looking suddenly became serious.

The same goes for Augudo and Tadoni, who are looking at Captain Robert earnestly, and both of them have a look of admiration in their eyes for the old captain.

"Mr. Augusto, Mr. Tadoni, this is Mr. Robert, the captain of our [Dragon Eagle]. ”

In order to avoid embarrassment, Wren began to introduce each other to everyone: "Mr. Robert, this is Mr. Augudo, the sword master, and Mr. Tadoni, the owner of [Conch House]. ”

After shaking hands with each other, everyone is officially acquainted.

For the sake of time, everyone didn't talk too much, and everyone returned to the deck together, ready to start tonight's mission.

Tonight, the main thing is to follow the ship carrying the smuggled goods to the desert island and confirm the place where the other party unloads.

And take advantage of the night to land to collect evidence.

Mr. Tadoni will be in charge of the night pilot, and on such a night, it will take an experienced pilot to lead the way.

Moreover, Mr. Tadoni's familiarity with several seas near Ruby Harbor is not at all comparable to that of the current navigator of the Dragon Eagle.

There should not be too many people who went ashore to collect evidence, so only Wren and Ogudo carried out the execution.

Sailors and mercenaries are always ready for the unexpected.

After the mission was clearly explained, Wren ordered Yang Fan to set sail, and the [Dragon Eagle] slowly left the dock.

When the [Dragon Eagle] sailed outside the cordon of [Ruby Harbor], in order to avoid exposing its tracks when tracking,

Wren asked the sailors to turn off all the lights on the ship.

Mr. Tadoni quickly relayed the navigation signal to the captain to keep the Dragon Eagle on the right course.

After sailing at full speed for an hour, he finally caught up with the smuggling ship carrying the goods.

It was an unarmed merchant ship of the elite frigate class.

A merchant ship of this class has a maximum of fifty crew members on board, but he has a lot of cargo volume.

The lights on the smuggling boat were not all extinguished, and it kept a few headlights in the bow to allow the navigator to check the currents at night.

It was thanks to these headlights that Wren was able to find it with a telescope in the pitch black sea.
