Chapter 183: Emily Arrives
I wonder if the great detective will be able to recognize himself?
Roman, who had the mentality of a bit of a fungiver, happily found a restaurant in the Jowood district with the style of Fenerport, and tasted different flavors of Fenerport noodles.
After lunch, Roman teleported to Port Prieze.
Coming out of the middle of nowhere, Roman walked in the direction of the dock in the distance.
Having received the letter, his teammate, now a "gravedigger", is expected to arrive in Port Plitz this evening or early tomorrow morning aboard the St. Furan.
Roman arrived early to make some preparations.
I found a bar in Port Prydze, and as soon as I walked through the door, it was a familiar feeling.
As a result of recent training missions at the Royal Navy's Oak Island base in Port Prietz, the Ironclad often leads fleets or cruises alone in the nearby waters, so that the nearest safe passage has never been safer.
As the largest and busiest port in Rune, the Port of Plitz is home to countless trading companies, countless goods circulating here, and countless information being transmitted quickly.
Now that the safe passage is under control, all forces on the sea, whether it is pirate kings and pirate generals, or some medium and large pirate groups, have sent informants here to listen to news and obtain information.
This, coupled with countless adventurers and bounty hunters, makes Pritzport incredibly prosperous and lively.
This is especially true as a bar where the most well-informed adventurers gather.
It was just after noon when Roman arrived, and the bar was almost full, so he came to the bar, ordered a South well beer, and sat down at random place, and all kinds of news kept reaching his ears.
Roman, dressed in battle costume but not at all disobedient, sipped, constantly getting news from the sea from the conversations of the people around him.
The Royal Navy's "Pritz" is even more deterrent than Roman imagined, and some small and medium-sized pirate groups have begun to panic and plunder, outside the safe passages, trying to take advantage of the fact that the ironclad ships have not really formed a fleet and more ironclad ships have not yet been launched.
Roman had expected this, but he knew that the "prestige" of the ironclad at this time was not enough, and when he actually sank or repelled a pirate general or pirate king, it would make those small and medium-sized pirate groups even more crazy.
At the pirate conference that just passed, the conflict between the "Blood General" and the "Lieutenant General of Dusk" was laid out on the bright side and spread among the pirates.
To the west of the "Sea of Moby Dick", there is a legend of the "Triangle of Death", because the sea around a small island called Maelk is also known as the "Maelk Triangle".
Legend has it that the pirate ships that passed through that area had no survivors and all disappeared, and some people claimed to have come out of nowhere, but he had gone mad and claimed to have seen dead people in that area.
Others said that this was a false message deliberately released by the "Blood General" and the "Lieutenant General Dusk" to cover up their search for treasure in that area.
It is also said that it is a treasure in itself, a legendary "key to death", related to the treasure left by the god of death, so that people who have passed away can be seen there.
In short, despite the danger of rushing through the door, there are still people who believe that they are the lucky ones and want to go to that sea to find out.
Roman couldn't help but shake his head, even if there is really a "key to death", the treasure left by the god of death and the like should also be in the Berserk Sea, what is the matter with going to the Sunia Sea to find the treasure of the god of death.
Really, the treasure is fascinating, and sometimes it can make people lose the ability to think.
And it's also strange that the Storm Church has obviously mastered the clue of the extremely dangerous "Level 1" seal that is suspected to be a mixture of the high-sequence characteristics of the "Reaper" path and the high-sequence characteristics of the "Bound" path, why hasn't it been found yet?
Can't find it or is there another arrangement?
Roman finished the beer in his glass, walked through the crowd, came to the bar, and took another glass of wine, just as there was an empty seat at the counter, Roman sat down and looked at the bartender and the person next to him:
"What's the rumor on the sea lately? Are there any interesting quests and commissions? ”
At this moment, Roman seems to have returned to the time of adventure on the sea.
The bartender took Roman's popped coin, snorted his wine skillfully, and said:
"There are a lot of rumors, mainly about pirate generals and pirate kings." The bartender wiped his glass and spoke to Roman without looking up.
"The 'Glacier Lieutenant General' is said to have conducted an exam some time ago in order to recruit the crew, but the pirates who failed the exam refused to reveal the content of the exam, and only a few pirates got drunk and leaked some news, saying things such as 'shit's grammar and arithmetic', 'shit flame Daniz', etc., which caused everyone to laugh."
Well, the last sentence was added by Roman himself, and the meaning is pretty much the same anyway.
"It is said that the fleet of the 'Admiral of Hell' was in the southern waters of the Rorsted Islands, and there was a great battle with the fleet of the Church of the Night Goddess on the edge of the Raging Sea, and in the end, the 'Admiral of Hell' left smoothly, and the Church of the Night Goddess did not gain anything."
Well, I don't know about this, well, the church really doesn't have the obligation to tell me about it.
Roman listened and thought about it, and then heard a message that he was very interested in:
"When you talk about interesting commissions, there's one here."
The bartender said, pulled out a photo from the audience, showed it to Roman, and said:
"This is a tracing commission, this young lady, perhaps a nobleman, perhaps the daughter of a wealthy merchant, in any case, she has run away from home, and if she can bring her back to Beckland safely, she will be able to receive 2,000 rune gold pounds, and if she can provide the last confirmed clues, at least 10 pounds, depending on the degree of the clues."
The bartender said, with some envy in his tone:
"If any of the lucky adventurers can fulfill this commission, they can retire and return to the countryside of Rune, buy a large piece of land, and never have to risk their lives on the sea again."
Roman was also curious about the sky-high reward of 2,000 pounds, and looked at the photo.
It was a young lady who looked to be in her mid-20s, handsome, with short blonde hair that looked a little out of place in Rune, dark blue eyes, and a smile on her lips.
It looks like he's going to run away from home...... Roman couldn't help but think in his heart, and at the same time, he also remembered the girl's name, Caroline. Monlotelle.
Sounds like a lady from Intis...... Roman took the last sip of his glass, sat and listened to the news from the sea for a while, chatted with the adventurer "peers" around him for a while, and then left the bar and went to the docks to wait for the news.
According to the port staff, while in the port of Damir, the captain of the "St. Feran" sent a telegram informing him that everything was in order and that the ship would arrive at the port of Prieze this evening.
Roman chose to wait at the port, watching the people on the dock come and go, and he was in a different mood.
Just before dusk was approaching, Roman saw the familiar luxury passenger ship "St. Furan" and blew its horn into the harbor.
Roman saw the passengers walking down the gangway, and also saw the taller and slightly darker Yin Millie in the crowd.
Seeing Roman coming to the dock to wait for him, Yin Millie's somewhat cold face also showed a hint of surprise, and she slightly sped up and walked towards Roman.
Due to the advantage of his size, Roman is also conspicuous in the crowd.
Roman and Yin Millie are both the kind of people who are not very good at expressing emotions, and they didn't have too many greetings after meeting, that is, Roman himself was talking about the arrangements for Yin Millie in the future.
Since she is not very good at communicating with people, Roman thinks that she should not like to be around children, so Roman decides to let her settle down in his residence before making plans.
At the same time, because she has been guarding the cemetery for a long time and playing the role of "gravedigger", Yin Millie has a cold temperament, which requires a long-term normal life to gradually wear off.
Since it was already late in the evening when she arrived, Roman planned to take her on a steam train to give her a taste of this different means of transportation from ships, and also to see the scenery along the way, so he did not take her directly back to Beckland.
With Yoon's consent, Roman takes her to the station to take the last steam train back to Beckland.
At night there are no manned steam trains.
