"Senior Karl! Something terrible has happened!"

As the voice of a woman in the process of voice change echoed in the hall, Kasha appeared at the door of the bastion.

He was wearing the power armor exclusive to the guard force at this time, and it seemed that he ran over here without having time to change his clothes.

"What's up?"

Putting down what he was holding, Carl walked quickly towards him.

"The goods of the Phiollan family were lost on the ship of the Linland family. Moreover, it seems that someone from the Linland family disappeared with the goods."

Hearing this, the same expression as the “black question mark” appeared on Carl’s face.

Patting Kasha on the shoulder, Karl asked with amusement: "What does this have to do with us? Isn't it an internal matter of the Dragon Mark Family?"

After being reminded by Carl, Kasha seemed to have finally figured it out.

"Yes! Why am I so anxious? This has nothing to do with me, my cousin, or even the City Hall of Storm Bay. This is an internal matter of their Dragon Mark Family!"

He was about to say "excuse me" and leave, but before Kasha turned around, Karl reached out and grabbed him, and asked, "Who asked you to come to me just now?"

Kasha's eyes unconsciously moved to the side as he thought. After a moment, he answered uncertainly: "Um, it seems to be... the head of the Denis family?"

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and Carl thought to himself: "These guys trained by the Dragon Mark Family are really not easy to deal with."

Although this matter itself is indeed an internal matter of the Dragon Mark Family, now that Carl knows about it, he can no longer pretend not to know.

But what puzzled Carl was that, given the character of the Dragon Mark Family, why would they inform him of the news in this way?

They could have asked Joanna to notify him in a manner that complied with the procedures.

"Put on armor!"

With a wave of his hand, the power armor stored in the workshop instantly covered Carl's body.

If you can't figure it out, go and ask in person.

Carl didn't want to waste his precious brain cells on something that wouldn't improve his strength.

His already tall body looked even more oppressive after putting on the latest modified power armor.

The newly added psychic amplification matrix on the power armor was gradually activated as Carl activated his psychic power, and his heavy body gradually floated up.

This is one of the results of Carl's learning from Elise during this period of time. He can finally use psychic energy to continuously release the levitation technique like the Mind Flayer.

But he does this not just to look cool, this behavior itself is also a way to exercise his spiritual power.

"Wow! This is so cool!"

Looking at Carl floating in the air with some envy, Kasha followed him out of the bastion while thinking in her heart.

The ability to fly has always been a source of great desire.

…

When Carl arrived at the port, the adventurers who came to watch the fun had almost dispersed.

"Hey! Look who's here! It's the uncrowned king of Storm Bay!"

Seeing Carl, the agent of the Sarashk family who held the Exploration Dragon Mark greeted him warmly.

As the youngest dragonmark family, Sarashik did not require family members to have a unified surname, and there are all kinds of names within the family.

In their opinion, Carl, who also possesses the ability to explore dragon patterns, actually has a high probability of joining the family.

"Old man, we meet again. So what's going on here? I heard someone lost something, but it's just a loss of something. There's no need to make such a big fuss, right?"

After greeting the other party, Carl looked around and found that all the agents from the twelve Dragon Mark Families had arrived.

Hearing this, the agent of the Sarashk family coughed twice, then came closer and said in a low voice: "The stone tablet that records the method of making dragon pattern magic tools is lost. This thing has no value to ordinary people, but in the current situation, we suspect that the missing captain of the Linland family may have taken the stone tablet and defected to our enemies."

The reason why the Twelve Dragon Pattern Families are so powerful, in addition to the large-scale industries that have already grown in scale, is due to the various special effects brought by the dragon pattern magic weapons.

With them, even family members who have little talent in various professions can rely on magic tools and dragon patterns to serve as high-level magic craftsmen in the corresponding industry.

Hearing the old man say this, Carl became even more confused.

"Enemy? What kind of enemy needs this kind of thing? Could it be that they are trying to crack the secret of the dragon-patterned magic weapon by studying the technology on the stone slab? Instead of doing that, wouldn't it be more time-saving and labor-saving for them to simply hire thieves to steal the magic weapon?"

According to the news circulating in the market today, the main enemy of the Longwen Family is the Jinquan Society, which has taken advantage of its monopoly to expand rapidly.

Carl's question made the agent of the Sarashik family blush.

He hesitated for a long time with a tangled expression, and finally said: "Probably the Takanaan family. They are a family formed by holders of alien dragon patterns. That... the Twelve Dragon Pattern Family once hunted down holders of alien dragon patterns, so..."

The Twelve Dragon Pattern Families can make dragon pattern magic tools. If the holders of different dragon patterns know the corresponding methods, they can of course also make magic tools that match the abilities of their own dragon patterns.

This kind of thing is naturally not what the twelve dragon pattern families want to see.

"Since you know this thing is so important, why do you still take the sea route? Wouldn't it be better to teleport directly back to Khorvaire?"

Carl took a half step back with a look of doubt and surprise, as if he was afraid of being infected with stupidity by a fool. There was a hint of undisguised disgust in his eyes, and he distanced himself from the leaders of the Dragon Mark Family.

These words immediately silenced the agents of the Dragonmark Family, especially the half-elves of the Linland Family and the elves of the Feoran Family.

After a long while, the two agents said, "We originally planned to spread the news in advance, then set up an ambush in Sarn Port and directly attack the Takanaan family's power in Sarn, but we didn't expect..."

At this point, Carl almost understood what was going on.

The Dragon Pattern family wanted to fish with bait, but their fishing rods betrayed them and fell into the river along with the bait and other things.

This is really delicious.

The last time Carl saw something like this was in his previous life.

Karl's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and he was about to say a few words of comfort, but the plots of various detective suspense works such as "Young Justice Bao" and "Detective Conan" suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Wait, why does this situation feel a bit familiar? If the criminal is not actually the captain, and he fabricated the subsequent series of events after killing the captain, and got off the ship with the sailors not long ago, then wouldn't it be..."
