Section 5 Sun Island (Fourth Update!)
This voice appeared so suddenly that Lens and Jamie's perception was actually unexpectedly non-existent!
"Who?"
The two of them turned around in unison, but they found that their bodies couldn't move.
Two old but strong hands were placed on the shoulders of both of them.
"You don't need to know too much, the Leonard League will offer you a high price, you just need to make some effort on the whaling trip, and the rest of the things are actually none of your business, right? The more you know, the more it gets in your way. β
The voice still seemed kind, but this time, both men heard the threat in his tone.
Only Betteka's gaze remained unbridled, and she shook her head as if she wanted to say something.
Lance's heart moved, and his eyes fixed on Bejieka's eyes, and in her eyes, he saw not only himself and Jamiery, but also another slightly rickety shadow.
"Sure enough, it was him. β
Lance was relieved, after all, it was not a shame to be instantly restrained by a third-level wizard. Although his tone was threatening, it was not a good thing? at least he had no intention of taking the lives of himself and others.
"What else do you want to say, kid?" said the man in gray lightly.
Bejeka suddenly felt her throat loosen, and she said boldly, "You should know that the news I'm about to tell them won't be hidden from them for too long. β
"It won't be long. All I need is this period of stability. The man in gray said calmly.
"If you know how to advance or retreat, you should understand that on my ship, you have to obey my rules, you know?"
Bejeka frowned, and finally nodded, but her little face was still very depressed.
"Very good, it looks like we're on the same page. Be careful, though, little intern. I'll watch you. β
The man in gray said this. Disappeared from the banana peel hut.
That powerful force field and coercion also disappeared.
"Whirring ......"
Lance and Jamie breathed a sigh of relief. Bejeka looked shocked, as if some important secret had been pierced.
"What is she shocking?" Lance keenly noticed this, "What did she mean by the last words of the League President?"
Jemiri noticed this as well. The two looked at each other. They all understand each other's minds.
It's just that they are confused. But at this juncture, asking Bejeka is a fool who knows that he is killing himself.
At the moment, the three of them just chatted about some other boring topics, and finally simply pulled the banana peel. After a casual meal, they dispersed.
And in this process, Bejieka seemed a little depressed, changed her previous presumptuous style, and suddenly became much more docile.
This made both Jamirie and Lance very uncomfortable.
After the dinner, Lance went straight back to his room.
After knowing that there was a third-level wizard in the store, he no longer dared to try the green liquor and the magic flute in the cabin.
Just kidding, with the ability of a third-level wizard, it was too easy to snatch the stomach juice of the Star Eater Demon from his own hands. The other party may not have noticed him before, but tonight Bejieka made such a fuss, maybe the other party is also eyeing him, so it's better to be safe.
So in the following days, the trio was surprisingly peaceful, and each obediently hid in the cabin to meditate and read.
Every day, I gathered at the dinner party, and the content of the conversation was nothing more than the customs of various places, and almost no witchcraft knowledge was involved.
And Bejeka's state was restored to its original state the next day, and she was still so flying and vigorous...... In other words, it makes people laugh and cry.
There was a sense of peace throughout the ship, and the attentive wizard noticed that the ship seemed to have not changed direction and had been heading west.
If it was simply whaling, then it would have been possible to turn around and head to the deep sea.
However, the Leonard League did not do so, and the three ships continued to move along the coastline. There seems to be something wrong with that, but no one has raised objections yet.
Yet beneath the calm exterior, a turbulent undercurrent has been brewing.
After another three days, this long-brewing undercurrent finally broke out.
Because the dull ones among the wizards finally sensed that something was wrongβit was all too obvious, because they were wandering around the deck and noticed that the ship was slowly approaching a huge sea canyon!
This is the edge of the Sea of the Moon, a moat leading to the open sea!
In Star City, people with a little common sense know that if it was whaling, they would never take this path.
Some bad news began to circulate among the external wizards, and during the dinner, someone finally raised doubts.
......
"Mr. Greg, we have a question for you, and all of the Leonard League executives. β
A middle-aged wizard representative asked, "We signed a whaling power of attorney with your guild, but according to the current progress of the ship, we are not going to whaling, are we?"
"We're mooring outside Stormstorm Canyon. Another delegate pointed to the swarthy darkness outside the window and said, "It's not an open sea, it's another ocean." We know far less about it than we know about the Roaring Ocean, or are you going to explain: Would the Leonard League find traces of the Aiken Two-Headed Whale there?"
As soon as the two representatives' sharp questions came out, the whole dinner suddenly became quiet.
The trio still sat in the corner, gloating at the scene.
Especially Bejieka, the evil smile on her face was too obvious, she didn't seem to be afraid of that third-level wizard at all.
"I said that I couldn't keep it a secret for long. As she drank the soup, she casually said, "That old man is too stubborn." I don't like him. β
The two delegates questioned the vice president of the Leonard League, whose surname was Greg.
Greg was silent for a while, and suddenly glanced at the gray-clothed old man at the same table.
The latter nodded slightly.
Greg stood up as if relieved, and he looked at the wizards in the audience - in fact, not only the external wizards had doubts, but even the internal alliance was also circulating all kinds of rumors, but the prestige of the alliance's top management was temporarily suppressed.
At this point, almost all the wizards looked at him with a questioning gaze.
He had to give a reasonable explanation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you must be full of confusion at this time. Greg weighed his words. began to answer: "Actually, about this question." We have been looking for a suitable opportunity to tell you for a long time. It looks like now is the right time. β
"The timing? I don't think it's the right time at all. The middle-aged representative sneered coldly: "If it weren't for our blindness, I'm afraid you would have kept it a secret until we passed the Storm Canyon, right?"
In the face of the other party's cynicism, Greg was not angry, but said lightly: "Mr. Smith." I understand the anger and uneasiness in your heart. But allow me to finish my sentence. β
"You're right. We, the Leonard League, signed a contract with all of you outside wizards. It is indeed a whaling power of attorney. And the purpose of our trip is indeed to catch the Aiken two-headed whale. β
"But that doesn't mean it's the only task of our trip. In fact. For us in the Leonard League, there is one more thing within ourselves that needs to be addressed. And this matter is a priority over whaling, so we have to go to the open sea outside of Storm Canyon first, and then enter the Roaring Ocean from the open sea to start the whaling journey. β
"I am here to promise you that this matter will be resolved entirely on our own, and we will not force you to do so, nor will we involve you. I can vouch for that. β
"I'm sorry that this happened so suddenly that we couldn't coordinate and could only waste some of your time, but not for long. We will compensate for this. β
"Any other questions?"
Greg's gaze scanned the past, and most of the wizards' eyes were still full of hesitation.
Obviously, his words could not dispel the doubts in everyone's hearts.
"We need to know what you're going to do!" said the middle-aged man forcefully, "at least tell us where the first stop of this trip is?"
Greg frowned and glanced at the old man in gray again.
The latter shook his head, then nodded again.
Only then did Greg slowly speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, what we need to do is an internal matter of our Alliance, and it is not suitable for disclosure for the time being. β
"As for our first stop, it doesn't hurt to sue you......"
"It's the Sun Island in the open sea!"
......
"Sun Island?
Jamiri asked in a low voice, "Hell, where are they going to do something?, where is the island built by a group of traitors from the Sea Clan, and it's not very friendly to humans." β
"I can't say. Bejeka shook her head with a smile.
Jamie sighed with some regret.
Lance's eyes lit up, for it was at this moment that he suddenly noticed that Betteka's fingers were tapping rhythmically on the table.
"Fox, analyze her rhythm and stitching. β
Lance quickly gave the order. At the same time, he nodded slightly at Bejeka.
The latter smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Have you seen the seagulls tonight? β
And her fingers were still tapping on the table from time to time.
During this time, the old man in gray glanced at this side and finally withdrew his gaze.
The trio ate for more than an hour. Jamiri was a little slower, but later seemed to join in reading Bezika's gestures.
It's just that he doesn't have the help of the fox, and it's a little difficult to keep up with Lance and Bejieka.
After the meal, Langston lost his mind, and according to the information given by Bejieka, the fox sorted out a large paragraph.
This includes the secret of the Alliance's trip to Sun Island! (To be continued......)
