Chapter 414: A battleship at sea
in a rainy night.
The investigator who was in charge of standing guard at Bailun Wharf stood at the dock against the violent wind and rain and the seawater beating up behind him from time to time. His eyes did not dare to relax at all.
He and his companions who are also on duty here are elite investigators who have been working in Springs for a long time. However, even they, who are absolutely elite, can only do guard work at the dock after being urgently deployed an hour ago.
Rich work experience is like the rain falling from the sky at this moment.
While ravaging the land, the facts are obvious without explanation.
People like them can be allowed to serve as guards here. In such typhoon weather, the 'guests' boarding the ship at this pier are definitely the top groups on the mysterious side.
Thinking of this, the investigator felt nervous.
The unprecedented typhoon weather in the history of the springs, the urgent order issued by the royal family, and the cautious attitude shown by the investigation bureau.
Unseen from the perspective, some incredible changes are taking place...
The time has come to seven-thirty.
On time, two figures, a man and a woman, parted the rain curtain in the distance, stepped onto Bailun Pier with gentle steps, and entered the investigator's field of vision.
The steps of the two were concise and rhythmic. Although the wind and rain were strong, it seemed that they could not leave any traces on them. It was as if they were not walking in a typhoon, but walking on a path after the early spring rain.
Don't even ask.
Investigators stationed here will be able to identify the man among them.
--Ronald Adler.
In the city of Springs, it is reasonable for a young original code holder who is making a name for himself to be invited to tonight's action.
But the girl next to Ronald...
as an investigator, they never like to judge people by their appearance.
But they also knew at this moment that this beautiful girl should be the other party's new apprentice recently. It is not a wise move to bring such a person into such an operation.
Looking at the two people approaching, the investigator immediately said:
"Mr. Ronald, tonight..."
"I am also a holder of the original code, don't underestimate people~~"
The investigator planned to refuse Heloise's words but still Without saying anything, Heloise took the initiative to come over and revealed her identity as the holder of the original code with a smile on her face.
Looking at the dry and smiling face of the girl in front of him.
The investigator was stunned when he realized the meaning of Heloise's words.
This...is this also the holder of the original code?
Then Ronald and Heloise didn't make any more moves.
Riding on the waves that happened to hit the pier, the two of them walked onto this medium-sized battleship parked at Bailun Pier, and it was obviously unscientific in its stability.
"That's what you said, is it really okay?"
"We can't hide it later anyway, so why not tell them? It's not a shameful thing." "
..."
There weren't many people on the ship at this time, or on the deck. No one could be seen at all.
Ronald and Heloise entered the ship and walked into the brightly lit cabin, then they felt that the situation had changed.
It's so quiet here.
The unremarkable cabin walls seemed to completely isolate the typhoon outside, and the ground underfoot was clean and tidy, as if it had been maintained by professional cleaning staff.
Going deeper, the two of them saw several people discussing something around a long table, and their tone and expression revealed a nervousness.
At this moment, the person standing at the head of the long table noticed the arrival of Ronald and the other two. The girl looked up at the two of them and seemed to confirm something, with a very happy smile on her face.
"Ronald, I'm glad you're coming!"
"Long time no see. This is my apprentice and assistant Phyllis, who is also a trustworthy warrior." "
I can absolutely trust the companion you brought, come here Find a seat and sit down."
Claudia, the first princess of the Greed Empire, was talking to Ronald in a very friendly manner at the moment. She seemed really happy to meet her friend here. .
And she was not as fussy about Heloise's attitude as the investigators outside. It seemed that Heloise had already accepted it when she appeared in the cabin.
As for Ronald...
To be honest, Claudia's appearance was foreseeable.
The possibility of Her Majesty the Queen personally leading the team is relatively low. Her Royal Highness the Princess, who also has the right to use the encyclopedia, is naturally the best leader for such a major task.
After the two of them took their seats, the discussion at the long table continued again.
"What we need most now is time. With so many original code holders together, no matter what happens, there will always be a solution!" "
With Mr. Klein below to maintain the stability of the ship, we don't need to worry about typhoons and seas. Interference with the ship."
"But what if the person who caused the typhoon attacks?"
"If he attacks... someone with this kind of ability, I don't think this battleship can deal with that guy's spell attack. Maybe we have to go into the sea to feed the fish together?"
"But we can't stay here forever, right? If we want to end this typhoon, finding the caster and killing it is the quickest and most effective way!" "...
"
In Before the 'flight' departed tonight, the 'passengers' on the ship were discussing their next plans.
Under the premise that Claudia controls the scene.
Their topics basically revolved around how to conduct navigation and strategies when facing enemies.
While talking, Ronald also learned more about the incident.
The typhoon was indeed caused by humans, but there were some differences in details. According to the information revealed by Claudia, the culprit of this incident should be located on an island some distance away from the mainland.
Someone hacked and exploited a certain relic on the island, which caused the typhoon to unreasonably appear in the springs.
The purpose of everyone on the boat's trip.
Just rush to the island in the shortest possible time and deal with the organization that caused this incident. As a reward for those who participated in this matter, in addition to the materials captured in the battle being completely owned by them, there will also be rewards specially provided by the royal family when they return to the springs.
What is now in doubt is the true purpose and origin of this force.
In addition to attracting a typhoon to hit Springs, the other party has not disclosed any needs or unnecessary information. Ronald and the others are still completely in a fog.
It is precisely because of this state of ignorance.
Now the discussion in the cabin was very clearly divided.
Some people think that if there are enough original code holders here, they can naturally overwhelm the enemy with the power of thunder, and there is no need to consider extraneous things.
The idea on the other side is to act cautiously and consider the long term.
It is best not to take risky actions before you are absolutely certain.
