Chapter 55 "Friends" are all over the world
Whether the speculation is consistent with reality, Mogan cannot be determined for the time being.
But having the trust of the two Lilliputians in front of them would undoubtedly play a major role in validating this suspicion - especially when they were still hesitating and trying to help without saying more.
"I have another 'friend' who heard that there is a young girl from the Kingdom of Cole who has been separated from her relatives in the Blue Eagle Pirates, so he wanted me to ask about the situation."
Mogan touched his chin as if distressed, but with every word, he quietly observed the reaction of the two villains.
"Their family is from Nova City in the Kingdom of Cole, and it is said that something happened and several children were separated, it seems that it was a year ago, right? Because the girl wanted to be a pirate, and my friend knew that I was doing business in the port recently, he asked me to keep an eye on it. β
This time it seemed a bit too deliberate, but Mogan didn't need an answer.
Sure enough, the two villains looked at each other, and their first reaction was not to be confused, but to remain silent and not squeak.
"So if you may, can you let us meet the little girl and ask a few questions?" Mogan didn't debunk it either, "Although I've seen it during the day, after all, I'm just indirectly entrusted by people to pay attention to it, and I'm not very familiar with it, so I can't be sure just by looking at my appearance." β
"Kang ......"
Lily was about to say her name when she was stopped by Bruno, who was more responsive.
The two of them got together and discussed in a whisper, and in the end, Lily came forward to explain.
"The girl is not on the ship now, in another ...... On land in addition. Lily nodded thoughtfully, "It's safe to have a captain, I don't know when I'll be back." You can leave the address and wait for them to come back and look for it. β
Bruno added, "Today's situation is special, so we can't let you come on the ship, I'm sorry......"
Although he reacted faster and often corrected Lily's mistakes, he seemed to be the more shy of the two siblings, and he buried his head as he spoke, unable to see his face, but the roots behind his ears were already a little red.
As soon as Mogan was about to say something more, he felt someone tugging behind him.
It's Will. He pulled people and looked to the other side of the coast.
"It's the cargo ship, it's there again!"
I have to say that this kid does have a kind of extraordinary observation.
Mogan looked out to sea, and it took him a few seconds to spot the black cargo ship, even if someone prompted it.
I can't really blame him for his clumsiness, he has to be on the boat.
- The black cargo ship was like a dark dot in the field of vision, hundreds of meters out of port, and in terms of size, it was inconspicuous than the fallen leaves of the nearby mountains, except for a faint outline, and Mogan, who had not really observed it, certainly did not dare to determine.
The two lilliputians also noticed that something was wrong, and they didn't care about the outsiders anymore, and they both ran back to the cabin, leaving Bruno to climb onto the edge of the ship, and hold on with style.
"We'll talk about cargo ships and people later!"
After saying this, Bruno, who was on duty, didn't know where to take out a knife that matched his size, and held it in his hand like this, which looked funny in the eyes of ordinary people, and he didn't know if he could cut a beetle to death.
Bruno mainly observed the direction of the cargo ship, and at the same time poked his head into the sides, which was extremely alert.
"What should I do now?" Will asked.
Mogan was also thinking.
It's rare to see a black cargo ship sailing, and this is undoubtedly a great opportunity.
He can turn into a dragon and fly over and see what the clues are. Even if you need to consider whether or not to bring someone with you, it doesn't matter if you have one, two, two, three, or four people.
But this means that it is inevitable to increase the risk of revealing your identity.
It's not just fellow travelers who are bound to know.
The night in Port Saint-Lun is different from the neighbouring Pandora Bazaar, with only the difference between the more and the other time, and the noise and noise from late night to early morning.
Even now, sailors still pass through this place one after another.
In the middle of the night, the taverns near the harbor are brightly lit.
The sea is usually cold, so most of the long-term sailors are fond of drinking and warming themselves with a burning feeling, but after all, drinking is wrong, and it is natural to limit the frequency of drinking when sailing.
During the time when they were anchored on land, some of the sailors were naturally drunk, some watched the drunken people not fall into the sea, and some were the crew members on duty.
After all, it is in the port, and there are not even more ships of the Blue Eagle Pirate Regiment nearby, even if you exclude the ships that were scared away by the pirates, I don't know how many people can see the flying dragon in the sky.
It's just that time waits for no one, and decisions need to be made a little faster.
The black cargo ship was heading into the distance, soon disappearing from view. Meanwhile, as Morgan was about to turn around to confirm the situation, he noticed that Will had run to the other side.
"You ......"
Before he could ask, he found out why Will was running around.
I don't know when it started, but Lucifer was already on the side of the port.
In front of him was the only space within a dozen meters of the harbor where no ships were moored. Lucifer looked solemn and stared down at the waves crashing against the shore.
"Mr. Warren?"
Will had apparently noticed the anomaly.
Obviously not looking fine, Lucifer shook his head, "It's okay." β
Dark clouds covered half of the moon, and the night seemed darker under the cover, and the waves swept toward the shore and crashed violently against the reef, stirring up a continuous sound of swishing.
Seeing the shadow of the cargo ship in the distance, Will mistakenly thought that the stranger in wizard's robes was looking for a rare trace, so he pointed over.
"It's right next to that cliff - it's about some distance, but it's not fallen leaves, you can tell by the speed."
After weighing the pros and cons, Mogan finally decided to throw out the other option.
Whether or not it will be implemented depends on Will's own judgment.
"Frank."
Will, who hadn't heard the name for a while, was stunned for a few seconds before turning his head to look, "We're going to chase that cargo ship now...... Is it? β
This time, Mogan was a little surprised, "How do you know?" β
"I just think," Will didn't seem to expect that he would have to describe the problem-solving process, and moved over to whisper to avoid being heard by the villains on the ship, "according to their words, my sister should have gone with the captain of the pirate regiment to follow the cargo ship, and the mission to go out might be ...... Maybe it had something to do with the shelling of cargo ships. β
"What exactly?"
Since he has made up his mind to use flying, he still knows his flight speed, and Mo Gan is not bad for more than ten seconds.
"The main thing is that someone specifically says that the location is 'on land'...... I thought they were trying to confuse the eye, but they didn't make it up. And then on, I felt as if they were involuntarily mixing two things together β just an intuition. β
Will wasn't really sure.
Mogan raised an eyebrow, "You're pretty good at reading words......"
Although the essential reason is that the two Lilliputians are lying together is too low, but for Will, who is young and not very in shape, this is a valuable intuition.
Even when you are honest about your hometown, the outrageous answer of "I am from the earth" is rarely analyzed more seriously, and is more inclined to attribute it to perfunctory and jokes.
In the absence of special training and learning, it is also a talent for Will to be able to immediately recall the reality of the situation, and not be disturbed by the authorities' confusion or habitual thinking.
"If I tell you that there may be some unforeseen dangers on the cargo ship, and your sister Connor is likely to be on it, do you dare to follow along?"
Will was stunned, "I'm definitely going." β
"I'm asking if you dare."
"But I don't know what the danger will be, and I can't measure it......" Will cautiously, "If I'm not afraid of holding back, of course I'm fine." Besides, didn't the Lilliputians say, someone is protecting, Connor is she safe, then I should be safe too. β
It is true that the ignorant are fearless.
But Will's last words are true, which makes Mogan a little unbearable.
Mogan smiled bitterly, "Do you have any misunderstanding about me?" β
The Lilliputians can be sure because their captain is also there, and their record and reputation are enough to show that Captain Roger has rich combat experience, and he must have a scale in his heart.
Mogan didn't have that kind of confidence.
Compared to a true warrior of the sea who has been through a hundred battles, although Mogan has a strong bloodline and a wide range of knowledge, he should be able to reach the upper middle level of his strength among warriors and mages.
But after all, it's another thing to not fight full-time, and to protect people.
Although there was a person above the level of a great magician who was following him recently, Mogan never counted the elements that he couldn't control - naturally he didn't blindly treat others as his "combat power".
It's just that Will doesn't think so.
He had always been very firm that Mogan, who was pinching him at the bazaar, should be some kind of hidden and somewhat modest master, or even just a superficial businessman.
After confirming this fact, Mogan could only give up treatment for the time being.
"We need to get to the cargo ship as fast as possible, and we need a little special means."
Mogan prepares to give Will a shot first, but at the same time, Lucifer also walks over.
"Are you sure you're going to that cargo ship?"
Will didn't know why he was asked the same question again by a different person, and although he was puzzled, he also nodded.
It's just that Mogan vaguely sensed that this tone was not quite right.
It's not like questioning, it's a flat and straightforward confirmation.
Knowing a lot about the king's behavior patterns and abilities, at that moment, Mogan suddenly had a little guess and lingered in his heart for a moment.
Impossible, right......
But before he could translate this unbelievable conjecture into reality, he felt a touch on the side of his shoulder, and Lucifer turned to look at him, as if seeking confirmation.
Seeing this look, Mogan immediately understood and opened his mouth to confirm.
ββ¦β¦ We're going to a cargo ship. β
But he didn't know what to say other than to make a confirmationβbut he always saved himself the trouble of revealing another identity.
seconds later.
The white light flashed, and the three of them appeared in another space together.
It's a gloomy cabin that looks like a living quarter.
Will looked around in a daze, and realized that the ground under his feet was slightly shaking with the sea, and only then did he confirm that he was not on land.
Then he looked at Mogan and asked curiously, "What kind of magic is this, are we now directly inside the cargo ship - can we go so far?" β
The reason for going straight to Mogan is simple.
After all, he just said that he wanted to use a little "special means".
Although the actual process and approach are very different from what I imagined when I said this.
β but apparently much faster.
Mogan, who was asked about his face, did not answer for a while, and glanced at His Majesty the King with his spare eyes, and found that he did not seem to have any intention of taking the unauthorized action at all, and he had no expression, and seemed very peaceful.
It's like he's the one who was suddenly pulled to teleport, not Mogan, he's just a passerby who was pulled in.
In the case of the unity of the will of living creatures, wanting to teleport three people at a time is powerful magic in Will's opinion, but it is limited to that, perhaps on the same order of magnitude as melting gold and breaking through barriers, because he has no basic concept of magical difficulty at all.
Only Mogan clearly knew that even in the eyes of the vast majority of great magicians, this kind of behavior was only a "theoretical possibility".
"The principle is complicated...... In short, you can only use it once. β
In the end, Mogan can only perfunctory the past, barely leaving behind the hidden danger of over-expectation.
He actually had a rather headache and couldn't help but press on his temples.
Now, at least in the face of Will, who is full of confidence, he really can't tell.
