"We're finally getting ashore!"

Rhett let out a long breath. The long journey was somewhat boring, but when he reached the shore and returned to the human world, he felt inexplicably relaxed.

It was still the Kraken Wharf, the route Leiter had taken when he came. There were still countless large and small ships moored at the wharf, and many crew members and sailors were coming and going on the deck, busy with various tasks. When they saw Leiter riding the Fire Grid in the sky, they all cast envious eyes. Flying magic beasts are the dream of most people.

Leiter scanned the harbor below, paid attention to every ship, and found the traces of the Doton Chamber of Commerce's merchant ship.

Last month, before heading to the Storm Sea to subdue the Shock Spirit, he saved a group of distressed merchant ships of the Doton Company and also captured all the pirates of the Red Moon. After all, he had learned about the simulated vision and no one escaped, so naturally there was no subsequent pursuit.

Naturally, Leiter also gained the sincere friendship of the coastal branch of the Dalton Chamber of Commerce.

His Panlong is quite popular, but within the Dalton Chamber of Commerce, the bulk of the profits go to the headquarters and the branch that Carlton is in charge of, which facilitates the cooperation. The other branches can only get a small commission and do not benefit much, so naturally they do not feel much.

But now it is different. With this experience, Leiter has established a good relationship with the coastal branch of the Dalton Chamber of Commerce.

It is equivalent to expanding personal connections along the East Lan coast, and can even serve as a reliable information channel. After all, Rhett needs to use the Dalton Chamber of Commerce to investigate the truth about the rainbow shells and find out the mysterious person who is suspected to know something about the rainbow shells.

He is still brooding over the mysterious man who killed him because of the rainbow shell in the simulation. It was because in the simulation he let his bard friend Gad know the news of the rainbow shell, which was suspected to have been leaked to Manatee Island off the coast of East Lan, thus bringing disaster upon himself.

Today is different from the past. Rhett has reached the peak of the magician, especially with the three mysteries, which makes him fully confident in his combat ability.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to come to the East Blue Coast, he felt that it was time to investigate the inside story...

Rhett looked at the ship of the Doton merchants. It was empty, with only a few sailors guarding the ship, and all the cargo on the ship was gone.

"It looks like they've been back for a few days. At this time, I guess all the relevant members have returned to the Chamber of Commerce, so I'll go directly to visit the Chamber of Commerce."

While thinking, Lei Te ordered Huo Ge to rush towards the city.

Azure City, the largest main city on the East Blue Coast, is also the territory of Grand Duke Augustus of Blue Diamond. Looking at the city walls that are as deep as the ocean, one feels relaxed and happy.

The history of the Azure City is more than two hundred years old, which is even older than that of the cities on the southwestern border. The walls are not made of natural rocks, but a mixture of gems, crystals and other brightly colored minerals, which are smelted together with rocks to create translucent azure walls. What's amazing is that under the light, it does not reflect dazzling light, but is more restrained.

It took Rhett most of the day to get there. Looking down at the coastal city, he let Huo Ge land from a distance, and the man and the beast walked straight in.

The guard knights at the door stood straight and were on strict duty in two rows. Rhett observed that there were even mid-level knights among them, which made him envious.

At present, his territory has not cultivated a knight of such level. Perhaps Lawrence will be the first! With broad leaves swaying, the sun shining brightly, and the breeze carrying the breath of the ocean, Lei Te felt a different style just by walking in the Azure City, a feeling that he had never had in the inland city! In the middle of the street of this coastal city, there is a long row of milk coconut trees. It is said that the coconut milk inside is as pure white as milk. It is a very precious variety and tastes very delicious!

In this situation, Rhett unconsciously slowed down his pace and savored the unique scenery.

He walked slowly along the main road to the intersection and saw the circus in an open field a hundred meters away from the corner.

There were Warcraft participating in the performance, as well as three orcs, a tauren, a pigman, and a night owl. Quite a large crowd had gathered around, and the enthusiasm was high, with constant shouting and noise.

Rhett's mouth curled up, and he watched from a distance with interest for a while, then left alone.

Looking at the sign at the intersection, one of the red arrows pointed to the west, and the words "Daoton Chamber of Commerce" were written on the shoulder. After all, it was an old and powerful chamber of commerce that generated a lot of tax revenue every year, so it was normal for it to receive this preferential treatment.

Seeing this, Lei Te's thoughts could not help but expand. He should have thought of the importance of advertising space earlier. Maybe... he could arrange it for Dark Eagle City after returning! All the way to the door of the Dalton Chamber of Commerce, the four-story chamber of commerce was surrounded by a layer of black crystal outer wall about ten meters high, which absorbed all the light and revealed a low-key, luxurious and noble atmosphere.

Leiter knew that the decoration of the Dalton Chamber of Commerce did not have to be unified across the country, so each place had its own characteristics.

Almost as soon as Rhett reached the stairs in front of the door and before he went in, he saw a familiar figure walking down the corner of the stairs deep in the hall.

Because Dashiell's office was upstairs, he saw Rhett coming through the black crystal glass and hurried downstairs.

He greeted him enthusiastically. After all, some time ago in the East Blue Sea, their caravan was intercepted by the Red Moon Pirate Ship. The Earl Rhett in front of him came to their aid and swiftly sank the entire ship into the sea. His amazing strength made him admire him.

"Oh, the refreshing sea breeze accompanies the arrival of an important guest, Count Leiter. It is such a pleasure to see you again."

Dashiell, wearing a well-fitting dress, with a bald head and a warm smile on his face, came to Rhett to greet him.

"Vice President Dashiell, you look pretty good and it seems like you've almost recovered from your injuries." Rhett glanced at Dashiell. The other party was indeed injured during the episode when he helped him fight against the Red Moon Pirates before he subdued the Shock Spirit.

"Thanks to you, we were able to return home safely with a full load by destroying the second and third in command of the Red Moon Pirates. This injury is nothing." Dashiell shrugged and casually touched the more than ten-centimeter-long wound on his arm that had already scabbed over.

"Oh? You found out that the two are the second and third in command of the Red Moon Pirates?" Rhett asked casually. He didn't care about it. He came here mainly to find out something else.

Dashiell's eyes lit up, and the battle scene of that day reappeared in his mind. Then he thought that the other party was only in his forties, but he had the level of a sixth-level magician. This was definitely a genius, and he even had the hope of being promoted to a great magician in the future! He had secretly decided that he must make friends with Earl Rhett!

Leiter nodded, and heard Dashiell continue in a more enthusiastic voice: "Since you are here, please come in and take a look, Earl Leiter. Last time we traveled by sea to the ports of many cities in the Kingdom of Huilu, we traded a lot of new and interesting things. Perhaps there are items that you are interested in."

"Oh?" Hearing that it was the Huilu Kingdom, Rhett's expression changed slightly. He agreed and entered the hall together.

The Kingdom of Huilu is located in the northeast of the Kingdom of Rim, but its southeast corner extends a long tentacle on the map, making it one of the coastal cities with the closest trade with the Kingdom of Jinlun, and thus it prospered and developed.

The coastal branch has a special exotic counter, and the decoration is different from other counters. Dashiell led Leiter aside and introduced fluently:

"This is the echo conch from the Huilu Kingdom. It can preserve the sound for a week. It's an interesting gadget..."

"This is numb seaweed, a local hobby item that is quite popular among local nobles. It is harmless to the human body and can have many wonderful effects..."

"There is also this earth magic wand, which is exquisitely crafted and just of mid-level quality. If Count Leiter likes it, please feel free to take it!"

Leiter looked at a colorful magic wand on the counter and was not interested. Instead, he asked, "Can magic wands be considered a specialty of that place?"

"Haha, of course not, but we buy not only specialties, but also some low-priced items as long as the profit is lucrative enough. We never refuse anything." Dashiell said with a smile: "Earl Rhett doesn't know that every year, there are many shameful items in the coastal cities of the Huilu Kingdom that are sold to us at a lower price..."

"I see..." Rhett understood immediately. Selling stolen goods is very common...

Following Dashiell, he scanned the shiny crystal counters and saw many unique and novel things, which enriched his knowledge. But overall, there were no products that really caught his eye, and there was nothing that could help Leiter.

Feeling that the tour was almost over, Leiter said casually after looking at a stone that could change into seven colors depending on the temperature, "Vice President Dashiell, is the president not in the Chamber of Commerce today?"

"That's right. The headquarters held an emergency meeting some time ago. It seemed quite urgent, so the president went to the royal city to attend the emergency meeting." Dashiell replied.

Lei Te's heart moved. Going to the royal city for a meeting? Could it be... related to the fact that the royal family is about to announce that he has made great contributions and will be promoted to marquis?

It's true that this possibility is not small. Although it is not yet the date for the royal family to publicly announce the news, such a major decision would definitely not be made on the day of the announcement. It must have been discussed in advance.

With the Doton Chamber of Commerce having been in business for a hundred years, it must have special connections and information channels within the royal family, so it is not impossible for it to have learned this information.

He remained calm on the surface and asked, "Did you say what happened specifically?"

"Not really, and the date of his return has not been determined. If you need something from him, I will tell the president when he comes back." Dashiell shook his head.

After that, Dashiell looked at Rhett and asked curiously, "I wonder what Earl Rhett is doing. Maybe I can help you?"

Leiter looked at Dashiell, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's not a big deal, I just want to get some information."

Hearing this, Dashiell suddenly showed a confident smile, patted his chest and said, "If Earl Rhett wants to inquire about the news, I am the right person to ask. Although I am the vice president, most of the external communication processes such as supervision, liaison, and negotiation are handled by me, so I know a lot about the East Lan coast. What do you want to ask?"

Lei Te's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he lowered his voice and asked: "Do you know much about the situation on Manatee Island?"

"Manatee Island?" Dashiell was slightly startled when he heard this. He didn't expect this to be the question. He frowned and took Rhett to a secluded room. After the two of them sat down, he said, "Manatee Island is a chaotic place. I had some connections and channels when I was there, but... due to the special nature of that place, it is impossible for me to know everything about it. What information does Earl Rhett want to know about Manatee Island?"

"Is there someone in charge of Manatee Island? Or is it just a spontaneous gathering place?" Rhett asked after a little thought.

"Well, I don't know the original history of Manatee Island, but now the black market on the island is controlled by Quentin Monroe, one of the four major pirates in the East Blue Sea. Many industries on the island are actually managed by the leaders under Quentin." Dashiell said slowly: "And I heard that it has secret cooperation with some forces in the Graylu Kingdom, specializing in dealing with people or goods that are inconvenient to deal with there."

This means they are involved in slave trade, assassination, and helping to sell stolen goods... Leiter asked curiously, "Does the kingdom not care? Or what is the attitude of Grand Duke Blue Diamond?"

"It should be considered tacit approval. After all, Quentin is very smart. He knows who to offend and who not to offend. He never attacks the royal family and the merchant ships of the Grand Duke of Blue Diamond. And there are rumors that Manatee Island sends a large amount of money and property to the Grand Duke of Blue Diamond every year." Dashiell shrugged.

Seeing Rhett fall silent, Dashiell took a sip of tea and asked, "Count Rhett, could it be that... you have an enemy on Manatee Island?"

It's no wonder he made such an association. After all, that chaotic place concealed countless filth. Inquiring about the news about Manatee Island was nothing more than an interest in objects or people.

But this is the Doton Chamber of Commerce. If you want to know about a certain item, it is better to ask them. Then the only option left is to find someone...
