Chapter 24 [Ship Gang] and [Harbor Town]



The port town is located to the east of the entire Sekas Empire and is famous for being close to the vast Misty Sea.

Due to the influence of the moon Sunday, the whirlpool called the Eye of Death calmed down briefly, and countless merchant ships loaded with spices and minerals were able to transport them directly to Viknir, the capital of the Sekas Empire, by sea and land.

This is also the busiest time of the year for the port.

However, the situation this year is somewhat different. In order to capture the devil followers who sneaked into Nordland and created chaos, an additional checkpoint was added at the entrance of the harbor town. The caravans coming and going had to line up in long queues and be inspected amid complaints.

"There should be no problem, right?" Lin En, who had done a good job of disguising himself, was a little nervous. He kept adjusting the tone of his voice, trying to keep it consistent with the struggles and shouts he heard during the rescue last night.

This is not a difficult thing to do.

The essence of sound is nothing more than the vibration of the eardrum caused by the wave source propagating through the air and other media and reaching the ear. 071 has already recorded the characteristics of Lotte's sound, and all he needs to do is imitate it.

And then it’s time to test your mentality…

With the most complicated feelings, Lin En walked through the long line of caravans in the most natural manner. After entering the sentry post, he did not stop. He nodded to the guards and stepped into the harbor town.

Several guards on duty hesitated for a moment but did not dare to intercept them.

"Who was that person who just passed by?" Pastor Adrian, who was stationed at the checkpoint, noticed Lin En's leaving figure and asked with a frown.

"That's Lord Lotte, the son of Baron Pedro..." the guard answered truthfully.

Adrian thought about it and immediately remembered that in recent years, in order to allow Lot to pass the knight assessment smoothly, Baron Pedro had donated a lot to the church. He still had some impression of it.

On the other side, Lin En, who had successfully entered the Harbor Town, had cold sweat on his back. He was even ready to take action the moment he passed the checkpoint. Fortunately, everything went as he expected.

His current identity is the son of a genuine hereditary baron. It may not mean much in the entire Nordland Territory, but in the small port town, this identity can still provide a lot of conveniences.

After getting through the most difficult stage, Lin En finally felt relieved. However, the unfamiliarity with the harbor town soon gave him a headache again. He had to spend a lot of time wandering around the harbor, silently recording every place in his mind, and pretending to be familiar with everything.

Lin En continued to patrol like this until noon, when he cautiously walked into a shop with a circular logo.

If he was not mistaken, this was the emblem of the [ship gang] to which Lame Lord belonged.

The owner of the harbor shop was an old halfling. When Lynn walked in, he was busy moving a heavy bucket of yellow and black ore to the other end of the room.

But because he was too short, the heavy iron barrel stuck tightly to the half-man's face and kept shaking as he walked, and the fine ore on top was soon shaken off.

Seeing this, Lynn stepped forward to lend a hand, and together they piled the large barrels of ore in the corner.

"Thank you so much...guest!" The old half-man said with a heavy nasal voice. He wiped his dusty hands on his pants and then turned to look at Lin En and spoke.

"Okay, now let's talk business. Welcome to Bill's shop... No, I mean... Is there anything you need, Lord Lotte?"

He almost flew directly to the counter and took out several beautifully decorated boxes from the drawer, which contained some red and blue gems.

"You can take a look at these, they are all the best goods this year... There is also a whole ship of high-quality spices, which are treasures that cannot be bought anywhere else..." Halfling Bill introduced in a torrent of words.

Lin En on the side waved his hand with a lack of interest, interrupting the other party's words. "I am not here to buy anything. On the contrary, I have a batch of precious goods that I want to get to Vicnir through the Sea of ​​Mist."

"I heard that you have the ability to arrange a ship for a long voyage and protect the safety of the materials, is that right?" Lin En asked tentatively.

"Of course, everyone in Harbor Town knows the name of the Ship Gang. Even those stinky pirates would never dare to intercept our ship!" Bill raised his messy beard and patted his chest to make the promise.

"But renting an entire ship to transport goods requires a lot of manpower and security personnel..." Bill carefully watched Lynn's reaction, ready to decide the price based on the other party's expression. This is a good opportunity to make a fortune.

"Money is not a problem!" Lynn offered the big cake without hesitation, and then changed the subject in Bill's ecstatic expression and continued, "But this batch of goods is very important. I need to meet Lauder in person, preferably in person!"

Bill's expression suddenly became hesitant.

"What? Do you think I'm not qualified to meet with Cripple Lord?" Lin En frowned and his tone became heavier.

"No, no, no," Bill shook his head frantically. He didn't dare to say that.

After hesitating for a moment, Bill looked around and said carefully, "In fact, few people in the entire [Ship Gang] know that Mr. Lauder is not in the Harbor Town now."

"What a coincidence?" Lin En paused for a moment, and looked at the halfling in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze. Suspecting that the other party was fooling him, he asked again. "Do you know what he went to do?"

Bill smacked his lips and said helplessly, "I'm not sure about that. In previous years, Mr. Lord would stay in the port around Sunday, but this year is indeed an exception..."

Lin En stared at the halfling in front of him for a long time, and then suddenly spoke. "Forget it, since Mr. Loud is not here, I'd better ask someone else for help."

The old halfling immediately became anxious. "Lord Lot, you might as well reconsider it. Although Mr. Loud is not in the harbor town at the moment, I can help you contact Labour. He is Mr. Loud's most capable subordinate and can be fully responsible for all affairs of the ship gang..."

"I should have said that this batch of goods is very valuable. I need to meet with Lord in person. Please notify me when he comes back." Lynn ignored Bill who was still shouting behind him and walked out of the store without stopping.

Outside the door, dozens of huge sailing ships were docked on the flat dock. Dock workers in gray were busy moving boxes full of cargo from the deck to the rafts beside the dock. The noise of the crowd and the shouts of the supervisors were endless.

Lin En looked around at the prosperous scene of Harbor Town, his heart full of doubts.

In recent days, the port has been the busiest. According to Johnny's description, the waterway to the Wizarding Land will also be opened briefly. This is the only opportunity a year to transport materials to the Wizarding Land.

If something went wrong, decades of accumulation would be destroyed. At such a critical moment, it was reasonable for Lord to never leave...
