Chapter 1393: Going to the Island
This short voyage was not smooth sailing.
On just the first morning after setting sail, the ship encountered a battle. Two small fleets were chasing each other on the sea, and the bloody smell of fighting could almost be smelled in the air.
The [Grad] ship just appeared on the sea.
Inexplicably, they were suspected by both sides at the same time, thinking that they were reinforcements invited by the enemy.
The battle was imminent, and the magicians immediately began to fight.
However, the investigators from [Grade] completely overwhelmed the two warring parties. Therefore, before things developed to the point where the three Ronalds needed to take action, the enemy ships were destroyed.
Then the ships from [Grader] sailed away.
Only the people whose ships were destroyed were left adrift on the sea, with nothing to keep them company except the wreckage of their own ships.
The brief interlude showed the conditions of this sea area more vividly for the three Ronalds, and also confirmed the information collected previously.
Until two days later.
An island appears on the horizon.
Looking at the quiet and peaceful scene near the island, Ronald even felt like he was experiencing deja vu. Should we say this is the calm before the storm, or the crater before the eruption?
As Ronald sighed, the distance between the ship and the island continued to get closer.
It was slightly different from what was expected. Before the ship sailed into the port, a small boat with only three people on board appeared and sailed towards them.
"We are the guides sent by the King of the South China Sea!"
"Looking at your sails, they should be envoys from the Port of Peace, right?"
Port of Peace is the name of the port where [Gred] settled in the city. These people who make a living on the sea Prefer to call the port the place where people come from rather than the specific city name.
The investigator on the boat replied:
"Exactly!"
"Have you arranged how you plan to guide the boat?"
The people on the boat have obviously been doing similar work these days. One of them is responsible for observing the surroundings, and the other is driving. The boats approached, and the last man grabbed a long rope and climbed up after the two boats approached.
The person who climbed up was an adult man with flexible movements and a strong body.
They didn't pay much attention to social etiquette here. He tied the rope on his hand to the side of the boat and he immediately continued:
"Our boat will lead the way below, you just need to follow."
The people on the island are quite familiar with this process. .
The man who got on the boat chatted with the investigator for a few words, but did not get off the boat and remained on the deck. After the ship docked smoothly according to their guidance, he got off the ship again and tied the other end of the rope to the dock.
"Everyone, you can stay on the ship at the end of the month. If you want to live on the island, you can walk around. Just remember one thing, don't get close to the castle on the east mountain!" After saying this, the man turned around and left in a cool manner
. .
It even made the investigator look ugly for a while.
Is this the end?
What about the subsequent handover? What are the specific arrangements? And what are the things that need to be paid attention to?
Of course, the investigator knows that some places have always been "informal" in their work.
But after working at [Grade] for a long time, I still feel a little overwhelmed when I encounter such treatment.
At this time, the investigator heard footsteps coming from behind.
He turned around and looked a little confused at first, but he quickly realized it and immediately took the initiative to greet him.
Because the owner of the footsteps is the three Ronalds who have disguised their appearance.
They walked to the deck, and Ronald walked in front. He said directly to the investigator:
"Don't be too hasty, they have someone coming here. They should be the guy who will conduct the follow-up handover."
What the investigator said to Ronald No doubt about it.
He knew how powerful the reconnaissance skills of the man in front of him were, and he could easily find out such trivial matters with just a little effort.
Soothe your slightly impatient mood.
The investigator looked around and saw that no one was prying here, then he approached Ronald and said in his ear:
"Mr. Ronald, according to the information we heard, the so-called King of the South China Sea lives in the east. In the castle on the mountain. In addition, he also holds a banquet in the island square every night on the pretext of entertaining guests. When do you plan to take action, do you need our cooperation?" The investigator looked serious,
Rona De Ze has no intention of putting the other party in danger.
So he reached out and patted the other party's shoulder and said calmly:
"Don't worry, just leave this matter to us."
Of course the investigator knew what Ronald's answer meant.
Realizing that the man in front of him was preparing to handle the task by himself, he almost instinctively became anxious. But the next second, he realized what a powerful spellcaster the man in front of him was, and he couldn't say any words to dissuade him accordingly.
Looking at the somewhat bewildered investigator, Ronald finally said:
"Before we take action, we can meet at the banquet tonight and tell you everything then."
The investigator stuttered a little, and in the end he could only send a blessing. :
"You... wish you a safe journey!"
"..."
The three Ronalds left the ship and stepped onto the pier of the island.
Looking around, there are quite a few ships docked here, and the sails of different patterns are intertwined with each other, as if to display the cities or forces they represent at an exposition.
Although it was still early in the morning, there were constant sounds of people shouting and communicating on and off the boat, and some scantily clad girls could be seen leaving the boat, carrying quite a large purse in their hands.
Ronald naturally felt nothing about this scene. He just wanted to complete his work.
But someone following him didn't seem to think so.
"Hey, Ronald! I've only seen this scene in books before."
Catalina immediately came over and started talking:
"Don't you still have money on you? Help me hire a girl here. I want to have a good time with them. Let’s talk.”
Ronald rolled his eyes directly.
If he didn't want to attract attention, he would even want to push Caterina to the ground right now, and the two of them would have a good fight!
"At least before we kill the target, can you please calm down for a while?" "
In this situation, is this the time to satisfy curiosity?"
Catalina felt free and easy after hearing Ronald's response.
"Since you don't let me play, why don't you tell me what you think?" The girl shrugged, and then revealed her real doubts, "Looking at the way you look now, do you intend to violently fight all the way in and then kill people?" Killed?"
Ronald stared straight ahead and continued to move forward:
"Think about why we got this identity?"
"Now we don't even see the shadow of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] territory. Of course, we can't expose too much power. So now, we need to understand the situation on the island honestly. What we need to do is come up with the most appropriate plan."
Catalina knew that Ronald was right, so she had to compromise in a bad tone:
"Okay, okay, it's all up to you!"
