Dorothy asked Capac to negotiate with Uta. Finally, Dorothy used various medicines, food, weapons and ammunition worth 1,500 pounds as bargaining chips and asked Uta to help her communicate with the soul and send it to her through reverse spiritualism.
After Capac became the Tupa's doctor, the Tupa's medical and health conditions improved significantly. After receiving assistance from advanced medical technology from the mainland, the Tupa's health improved significantly, and the Tupa people were also very happy with the improvement.
Capac was very happy that he could really help his people, but medicine was needed to treat illnesses. After Capac had been treating for a long time, the medicine in his medicine box that he had collected before was almost used up. He could only disguise himself and go to the colonial cities in the New World to sell tribal specialties in exchange for the colonial currency to buy new medicine. Therefore, the Tupa people had always faced the dilemma of insufficient medicine. They had very little trade with the colonists and did not have enough colonial currency to buy these things.
Therefore, Dorothy was able to use supplies to trade with the Tupa tribe. Shaman Uta was happy to see the health of the tribal people improved, and he was willing to work hard to exchange the necessary supplies for the tribe.
Dorothy had already made arrangements. She planned to transfer the money to Adele after the ship docked, and ask her to use her underworld connections in the East City District to purchase supplies from the Tivian black market, and then smuggle the goods to the New World. For this, Dorothy was also willing to pay Adele 200 pounds in labor fees.
The total price of 1,700 pounds seemed a bit expensive, but it was still worth it for Dorothy, because it opened up a channel for the trade of materials with the Tupa tribe. In the future, she could use the materials to ask them to do more things, such as asking Uta to help contact more wilderness spirits, or even contact other tribes. The main reason for the high cost this time was that the Tupa tribe was short of materials, so Dorothy took the initiative to buy more for them. She didn't mind doing more favors for these local residents.
Another point is that the "Silence" storage that Neveu gave to Soulbeard as cat food was bought by her last time at the Gold Contract Bank. Since she didn't know the cat's appetite, she bought more than one storage at Dorothy's suggestion. After buying the storage, she almost spent all the more than 1,000 pounds she had saved in the White Masons Guild. Of course, Dorothy reimbursed her for another 1,000 pounds after the New Year's Eve, and the remaining cat food in Neveu's hands later came to Dorothy, and this time it was all used up.
The last thing that was consumed the most was probably Neveu's cosmetics. In order to meet the needs of long-term travel, Neveu brought a lot of cosmetics as backup. However, this time, in order to disguise herself, she directly painted herself white and used a lot of expensive cosmetics in one go, which made Neveu feel very distressed.
All in all, Dorothy now has more than 3,200 pounds in cash, 7 cups, 8 stones, 5 shadows, 2 lights, 14 silences, and 7 enlightenments. She has used up 2 of the "shadow" spiritual reserves, and has 5 left. Thanks to Soulbeard's small appetite, he only ate 1 of the 3 cat food he was given. She still has 2 of the "silence" reserves, so she can continue to feed the cat next time.
'Fortunately, after reaching the Cretaceous Stage, the consumption of the Spiritual Silk Path ability has been significantly reduced. Last time, I controlled the drunkard puppet and entangled with the group of sailors for more than an hour, and the final consumption was only one point. If it were in the past, it would definitely cost at least three points of the 'cup'.'
Dorothy thought so in her heart, and then she began to think about the next actions of the Sea Abyss Church members.
'If these guys can't find anything in the sea, they will probably immediately shift their focus back to the boat. Just before the exhibition started, I had the zombie steal a rescue boat and row it, and it's already rowed far away. I hope that when those guys find out that the rescue boat is gone, they will suspect that Thief K has escaped and is no longer on the boat.
'Of course, they may not believe it... If they don't believe that Thief K has left the ship with the Deep Blue Heart, and are determined to find Thief K, then things will become a little troublesome.'
Dorothy thought so in her heart as she looked at the slightly chaotic scene on the deck. She knew that although they had successfully stolen the Deep Blue Heart and stopped the sacrifice ceremony, the crisis had not been completely resolved. As long as these cultists still controlled the ship, the lives of everyone on board would not be completely safe.
"Then... we'll just have to see what those guys do next."
Dorothy thought silently in her heart that she was ready to continue fighting with Costa and Massimo in secret.
…
The appearance and departure of Thief K caused quite a commotion on the foredeck. The audience was talking about it and trying to squeeze onto the bow to see the place where Thief K was active. However, Massimo would not allow this. He immediately organized the crew and sent the audience on the foredeck back to the cabin, and then immediately led people to search the ship.
Dozens of minutes later, Massimo, who had searched in vain, came to the stern with the religious crew with a sullen face, waiting for something silently. After a while, he saw a large wet hand stretched out from below and grabbed the edge of the hull. Then, Costa, who was soaked all over, climbed thirty meters by holding the porthole and climbed back to the deck. Behind him were sailors who were also soaked one after another.
"How's it going? Did you find that guy?"
㱗After seeing Costa, Massimo spoke directly and eagerly, while Costa spoke while wiping his head with a towel.
"No... I led my men to swim around the ship and dived nearly 800 meters deep, but we didn't see any human figures. That guy should still be on the ship. I don't know what ability or method he used to hide from our eyes, break away from the bow, and sneak into the cabin again."
Costa said this with a serious expression. Massimo frowned slightly when listening to his words, and then continued speaking.
"Still on the boat? No way... When I checked the boat just now, I found that one of the rescue boats was missing. This might be the one that guy's accomplices went to the sea to pick her up. After she jumped into the sea, she might have gone directly to the rescue boat. They might have some ability to speed up the rescue boat. Before the fog above dispersed and we were not sure of the guy's location, he ran to a very far place."
Massimo put forward his own idea. After all, the fog at the bow lasted for a while, and Costa, who did not understand the thieves' movements, did not jump into the sea immediately, so the rescue boat had time to escape.
Massimo made such analysis, and after listening to Massimo's analysis, Costa shook his head repeatedly.
"No... I don't think so! I just swam the three or four nautical miles around the ship at my fastest speed and didn't find any trace of the rescue boat. They may have some ability to speed up the rescue boat, but I don't believe that this ability is faster than my swimming speed.
"So, I think the fire of the rescue boat is just a trick to make us believe that she has escaped from the ship. She should still be on the ship now. If we believe that she has really escaped, then she can rest assured!"
Costa said this with a serious expression. All these judgments were based on his confidence in his own abilities. He didn't believe that the thief in the sea could be as fast as him.
"From her skills and the way she concealed the spiritual traces of the Deep Blue, I can see that she is an extraordinary person on the path of the Black Earth or Chalk Stage, the 'Shadow'! I absolutely do not believe that this 'Shadow' thief can be faster than me on the sea in a rescue boat without even a sail, so she must be on the boat. As long as we look for her carefully, we will definitely find her!"
Costa said this, and then threw the towel in his hand to the ground.
