Viscount Lando originally intended to say this, but considering the situation of his group who had little money and little power, he changed "getting the position" to "lobbying for votes."

Looking around the room, the boatswain said teasingly, "More than that, right?"

Upon hearing this, Viscount Landu's face froze, and he continued, "During the voyage, he can choose any noble girl he likes to spend the night with."

As soon as he finished speaking, Viscount Lando saw the boatswain looking at him with contempt.

He wanted to explain himself, after all, these noble children were not good people. But when he thought about the current situation of the ship, he didn't care so much about this matter.

"Mr. Boatswain, what should we do now? Should we continue sailing or return?"

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Lando saw that the boatswain had not left, so he asked carefully.

He now felt extremely regretful, regretting that he had accepted this task just to cause trouble for Joanna.

If he had not taken on that mission, he would still be hosting a banquet in his own manor, instead of huddling in a room like this, worrying about whether he could see the sun tomorrow.

"Return! Of course we have to return! If we don't return, are you going to command the ship to cross the Thunder Sea? If I and the others had this ability, we would have gone out and done it on our own long ago!"

Having said this, the boatswain turned and left.

…

Two days before the Spirit King Card Tournament, in the afternoon, a steamship that was suspected to have been affected by the storm was suddenly discovered at the port of Storm Bay.

Although the appearance of the ship was still intact, the mast was broken and the whole ship was tilted, as if it would sink soon.

Because the steamship had the family crest of the Lynland family on it, the port guards immediately notified the Lynland family.

When the steamship arrived at the port, no one noticed that there were six more people and an item in an apartment less than 500 feet away from the port.

"Boss, what should we do next?"

Through the tree leaping technique and activated wooden planks of the alien dragon pattern, the assassins of the Tarkanan family returned to their previous hiding place.

They disguised the captain's death as a defection, and successfully used the steamship's return to divert attention and get themselves back here.

The only remaining loopholes are that the activated wooden board was left in that room, and the Metani family of the Dragonmark family possesses the detection dragonmark, and almost everyone in them is a good detective and investigator.

In addition, mages proficient in prophecy spells should be able to lock on to them.

"Let's go! Don't stop! Go to Dalkart, which is a port opened by people from the continent of Sauron in Xen'drik. We can find someone from there to take us back to Khorvaire."

Although according to the existing conditions, most people would think that it was the captain who absconded with the money, but as a senior member of the Takanaan family, he would never imagine his opponent as a baboon with low IQ.

The other Takkanan assassins looked at each other, and then followed the captain's instructions and began to prepare to leave.

After almost finishing the cleaning, the six people left the room.

"Ouch! Watch yourselves as you walk!"

As soon as he went out, the Takanaan Assassin almost bumped into two people.

The wanderer in the team subconsciously wanted to take action and kill the two guys who saw their true faces, but the leading assassin quickly stopped him with his eyes.

"Sorry, we're in a hurry to leave."

Submitting to the two elves opposite them, the six of them quickly left the corridor.

"Tum? What's wrong?"

The two elves in the corridor were Kassadin and Thum, who were looking for someone who was planning to sell the house in Storm Bay.

Hearing Kasa's question, Tum looked puzzled.

"The Spirit King Competition is coming up soon, and those people are dressed like they're going on a long journey... so I feel a little weird about it."

Of course, in addition to this, Tum also felt the lingering aura of death on those six people, which represented that they had killed intelligent life in recent days.

But considering that these people were not drow, Tum did not pursue the matter further based on the principle of less trouble is worse than more.

"Do you think everyone is as addicted to the Spirit Card Game as you are? Maybe they are a team carrying out some secret mission. When you are out, it is better not to meddle in things that have nothing to do with us!"

After saying that, Kasa turned around and pulled Tum to continue looking for apartments with signs of sale or rent posted on the doors.

At the same time, the port area has gradually become lively.

Although the steamship encountered a storm halfway, it eventually returned to Storm Bay intact.

The sailors talked about their experiences of the voyage one after another, and the half-elf of the Linland family couldn't help but frown when hearing the strange situation.

"You mean, that guy might have absconded with the money? At this time when he might be selected as the family consul?"

When he heard the sailors talking about the possibility that the captain of the steamship might abscond with the money, a faint flash of lightning appeared in the eyes of Linland, the half-elf who had a temper as strong as a storm.

He didn't believe that someone who could potentially become the family consul would betray the family for a small amount of money.

Just as he was about to capture the sailors for interrogation, a member of the Feoran family, one of the shadow dragonmark families that rarely appeared in public, emerged from stealth.

The Shadow Dragonmark is made up of two main families, one is the Fiolan family led by Avina Alolansi D. Fiolan, and the other is the Solani family led by Elal D. Solani.

The two sides split at the end of the Final War, with the former controlling most of the Shadow Dragonmark's original territory, while the latter lived in Imperial Port, the capital of the Lazar Federation.

As soon as she appeared, this calm female elf asked in a singer-like voice: "Are the goods we gave you still there?"

Hearing this question, Linland Half-elf, who was originally a little angry, suddenly changed his expression.

The atmosphere around them suddenly became a little dull, and several other members of the Dragon Pattern Family who were originally watching the show in the crowd couldn't help but stand up.

Feeling this strange atmosphere, the sailors were a little overwhelmed, but the boatswain had already taken out the dimensional bag from the warehouse.

Hearing the elf of the Feoran family asking this, he hurriedly handed the thing over.

After taking the dimensional bag, the female elf said directly before opening it: "Someone has opened it."

Then, as if to confirm what she said, she opened the dimensional bag and poured out everything inside.

Most of the items were antiques that looked quite old, but those who were detecting the Dragon Mark Family quickly figured out that they were fakes, used to divert attention.

However, the stone tablet that they really cared about, which recorded the original method of making the dragon-patterned magic weapon, was missing.
