ACT036: "Expected" Storm
The silver phoenix's Ramses honorary ID card for Wess is not something that can be reissued casually! Each elaborate ID card has a unique anti-counterfeiting rune, and at the same time, the goblins who manage the free capital are also strange "recognize the card but not recognize the person", whoever has this thing in their hands is their Ramses "honorary citizen".
This has invisibly made the price of ID cards rise and become a rarity that people compete for. And the damned greenskins seem to be happy to see this, turning a blind eye to snatching and scalping, and adopting an ambiguous attitude. For this reason, some people wonder if the black market, which is always out of stock and resells ID cards at high prices, is there a goblin behind them? The purpose is to make money by speculation.
What the truth is, Weiss doesn't care, he only cares about whether his ID card can be retrieved now. After learning that there had been a burglary on board the ship and that the victim was a pawn owner with a Ramses ID card, the captain of the "Laurel" immediately ordered his security guards to conduct a full search of the extradited passengers in the bilge, but after searching for a long time, nothing was found.
In line with the simple reason that wealth is not exposed, Weiss did not show off his Ramses ID card everywhere, but only took it out for a short time when cooperating with the Imperial Navy's search. And the reason why such a valuable thing is not carried with me is entirely because it is quite difficult to take that strange thing!
The ID card made of melted gold nuclear iron is not only hard, but also not light in weight, half a palm-sized, finger-thick metal plate, the scale weighs a full 5 kilograms, and the angular body is very awkward. In addition, this "big gold brick" will also emit a golden light of not low brightness, which can dazzle the eyes of blind dogs in a flash, so Weiss can only wrap it tightly with a black cloth and put it in the dark layer at the bottom of the backpack to hide.
But unfortunately, in the end, what Weiss didn't want to happen, finally happened! "Golden Brick" was taken away under his nose, and the captain searched for it according to the physical characteristics provided by Weiss, but only a few passengers said that they had seen similar people, so that in the end, the captain couldn't help but wonder if Weiss was entertaining himself.
"Weiss, don't worry, we'll look for it when the ship docks, and then we'll definitely find that person as long as we hold the escalator mouth." Adele comforted.
"I'm worried right now, if the man I saw was actually in disguise, then even if he was standing in front of me now, I might not recognize him!" said a depressed Weiss with his head down.
"Hmm...... You—You're not suspicious of me, are you?"
Weiss, who was beating his chest there, heard this timid voice, hurriedly changed into a somewhat stiff smile, and turned his head to the chest beside him...... I mean girl, cast a "it doesn't matter" comfort emoji.
"No, no, no, I didn't doubt Miss Lena's meaning, just an analogy. I believe in Miss Lena's innocence, after all, you were there at the time, and you were a little frightened. ”
The girl named "Lena" is the important witness that Weiss met at the corner of the bilge, and the other person was the last passenger to witness the burglar, so she has been following them in order to assist in the investigation.
To Weiss's surprise, this girl, who should belong to the best royal sister just by looking at her appearance, turned out to be a very soft girl, and the contrast is cute.
"En, I was frightened, that person suddenly rushed over and knocked me down, my heart is still fluttering, fluttering!" Looking at Wess with a pitiful face, Lena reached out and patted her towering breasts, which suddenly caused a burst of ** nipple shaking, and Weis's eyes were straight, until Adele coughed lightly twice, he was slightly more positive.
"Ahem, did Miss Lena see what that person looked like?"
"No, he has a mask on his face, and his eyes feel so fierce!" As if she was afraid, Lena showed a frightened fawn-like expression, which can definitely arouse the protective desire of most male surnames.
"Miss Lena, don't worry, we've already told the captain to arrange for you to stay in the cabin next door to us, so that my companion and I can effectively protect your safety, and don't worry about what the thief will do to you. With a sincere expression of "good man", Weiss swore a promise.
"Thank you so much, but won't it bother you......? I don't have that much money. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I have already paid for the cabin, you can stay in peace of mind." ”
Attentively taking care of everything for the other party, the smiling Weiss was like a second ancestor with other intentions, and kept sending Lena into the cabin. If it weren't for the fact that the other party said that he didn't have much luggage, he could take it alone, and this goods would even have the meaning of going down to help carry the suitcase, and he would have been grinding for a while before turning back to Ling Lan and Adele.
"I said Weiss, you don't really believe that woman is not suspicious just because she has big breasts, do you?"
"On the contrary, I feel as suspicious as her boobs. Seeing Adele staring at herself and frowning, Weis's expression immediately froze, and the previous pig brother appearance disappeared without a trace, and the speed of changing their faces made the two of them a little surprised.
From the first time he saw Lena, Weiss was already suspicious of the other party. Unfortunately, Adele and the ship's security guards arrived so quickly that he couldn't do anything like a forcible search, a forcible search, and a forcible search.
"Then you ...... that virtue just now"
"It's acting! I used to work in a repertory troupe, and the troupe leader praised me for my good acting skills. ”
"That's amazing!What role are you playing, the main character?" Ling Lan asked with some curiosity.
"I play the tree behind the main character. ”
“......”x2
According to Weiss's plan, they first had to have a good relationship with each other, and then find an opportunity for Ling Lan or Adele to invite each other for a walk, while Weiss took the opportunity to sneak into the other party's room to see if he could retrieve his ID card. The reason why they are so troublesome is entirely because the three of them don't want to make things too "big", in case there is really a fight, and one accidentally breaks or sinks the passenger liner, then they can only swim to Langson.
Everyone can't tell whether Lena is the owner of the chess piece for the time being, and the other party seems to be no different from ordinary people in terms of the current appearance, either it is too strong and the breath is completely hidden for you to not detect, or it is too weak and it is almost the same as not hiding it!
However, the plan never changed quickly, and Weiss, who had just been stolen in the morning, did not wait for the evening to start the operation, and the originally clear sky turned into dark clouds in less than 30 minutes. The wind swayed the liner from side to side, and the experienced captain, realizing that the situation was not good, hurriedly handed out life jackets to each passenger to prepare for the worst. And in Weiss's room, Weiss and Adele all looked at Ling Lan silently.
"You really can't blame me. Ling Lan said with an aggrieved expression.
"Weiss, what now? ...... your ID card?"
"It's all like this, how can ID cards be important?"
The sudden storm caught the Laurel off guard, and in order not to be swept away by the waves, the captain ordered the power room to increase the power of the guide furnace to the maximum load, and approached the shore side with difficulty. Even if you run aground or run aground, you must not be swept into the dangerous "open sea", where the water is not only bottomless, but also the legend has it that there are terrifying sea monsters.
"Captain, the bilge is already flooded, what are we going to do!?"
"Hold on! hold on a little longer, and we'll be on the shore soon!"
In the wheelhouse of the passenger ship, the captain was personally steering the rudder, trying to bring the ship closer to the shoreline, and in the bilge, where the passengers had been evacuated, the sailors who could not block the gap had just sealed the entire bilge. The old captain had been on a route for more than 30 years, and it was the first time he had seen such a storm that they were almost unprepared.
The captain tried to control the rudder as he tried to fight the storm, but when he pushed the rudder to the right with all his strength, the rudder, which had been fighting with him, suddenly loosened, and the captain immediately planted it because of the force, and then the crew heard the frightened cries of the mechanics in the communication tube.
"Boss, our rudder is off!"
A passenger ship without a rudder is like a wild horse that "prolapses" and rampages through the raging waves! At such times, no matter how experienced a seafarer, there is no other way but to pray for the blessing of the unreliable gods.
"Are you going to confess here today!?"
Thinking like this, the captain subconsciously wanted to take out the pendant from his arms and take one last look at the photos of his wife and children. But before he could take it out, the shaking liner was heard in a violent tremor, and all the passengers in the cabin could clearly hear a sound of metal twisting that made people feel like they were teeth.
"What's going on? Are we on the rocks?"
The captain's shouting inquiry was quickly answered, and a soaking wet sailor reported to him the "great news" of the ship's stranding on the reef with a look of excitement. In the runaway moment, the passenger ship was lucky enough to rush onto a shoal and crash into the reef, sinking the entire bow into it. But because of this, they are now firmly fixed there, no matter how the waves crash, the hull of the ship will not move!
