Struggle in the Steam Age

Nora was absolutely confident in her interrogation skills. At least with her current level, even without searching the brain, it is enough to see the inner thoughts of many people face to face. Not to mention that none of the sahuayu people are extraordinary, standing in front of her is like letting go of their souls completely.

This is why Nora's reaction was so strong after Lawrence only expressed his doubts a little bit, because those loca murlocs were captured as captives after all. Before the interrogation, they had been searched and confirmed that they did not carry any magic items for spiritual protection. Nora felt that she should not miss in front of those ordinary Lokas.

"No, your feeling is not wrong." Lawrence waved his hand and said seriously to the doll. At first, he also thought that it might be that the sahuagin set a trap for themselves through the locathah. But after thinking about it later, I think it should not be.

"I think the group of Lokayu people yesterday really wanted to make peace, but I think they are likely to be caught by the sahuagin after they go back and reveal the agreement between us and them."

The reason why he made such a judgment is also very simple, because if you want to set up a trap, you need to set it in your own settings as much as possible, instead of adding too many uncontrollable factors. For example, if the sahuagin want to set traps for Lawrence and the others, they will definitely not let Lawrence and the others decide everything from the landing location to the landing time.

Therefore, now Lawrence feels that compared with the possibility that this group of rocagins are the bait sent out actively or passively by the group of sahuagins, this incident is more like that the sahuagins captured a batch of returning fish. The Roca murlocs also asked them about the previous agreement between Lawrence and them, and then planned to launch an attack according to the plan.

"However, we have intercepted this news now, so we can naturally make some targeted arrangements." Nora smiled, and at this time, the group of smugglers and guards who were interrogated by her all stopped because of the heavy injuries. took a breath. "Ah, it looks better now that we don't have to worry about a third person giving away what's going on here."

"Of course, but we need to discuss with others how to do it." After speaking, Lawrence raised his head and asked Nora beside him. "By the way, the first thing we should do now is to hide this ship to avoid being discovered by others. I think we can hide this ship in the astral plane."

"No problem, this boat can just be used by those jackals. Since we taught them some knowledge about fishing and seafood farming, they can now raise all kinds of fish in the ocean in the plane and Carry out orderly marine fishing work.

And if you want to go to the depths of the ocean for fishery production, some large ships as mother ships are essential, but for the time being, they can't produce too large ships because of the size of the shipyard's dock, so this ship is just enough for emergency. "

After finishing speaking, Nora opened the space door to take the ship in, and then asked Lawrence about the ship entering the astral plane together. "By the way, I thought of one thing now. You said that if the ship is missing, will the owner of the ship come out to look for it? If they can't find it, will they tell the sahuagin that the ship is missing. "

"The owner of this ship will definitely come to look for this ship. Don't forget that there is also the bill recorded by the sahuagin when those guys traded with the sahuagin on this ship." Lawrence said from a A book woven with unknown fabric was found on the corpse, which densely recorded hundreds of trading activities between this group of rape and sahuagin.

"But they shouldn't inform the sahuagin. Don't forget what the sahuagin's character is. In this case, they will probably regard all humans as enemies." Lawrence said to Nora after thinking for a while. Speaking of, no matter what, the extremely xenophobic creatures like the sahuagin have made up for a possible loophole in their operations at this time.

"And the matter here is very involved, and this is still a war zone. So even if the other party wants to send people, it will be only one or two small boats and dozens of core dead soldiers. In this case, it is necessary to determine which ship is missing. The time will definitely not be too short, and the sahuagin attack should not drag on for that long."

"If that's the case, then we still have enough time." Nora replied after Lawrence finished speaking, and at the same time activated magic to hide her figure from the night sky, and flew towards Vieques Island with all her strength. Now she needs to race against time to bring back the new situation that she and Lawrence discovered before.

Lawrence took advantage of this time to command the rowing papyrus boats and several newly launched dhows in the astral plane. The jackals who came from the sea not far away pulled the boats nearby. Go to the port, and take care of this ship by the way.

For example, moving the artillery and some temporarily unused things to the shore, or finding a place to bury the corpses so as not to infect any diseases.

Then Lawrence began to count the spoils of this time. In addition to the crucial ledger, he also found several heavy and gloomy wooden boxes from the other party's temporary space bag. After opening the lid of the box, he saw that it was full of all kinds of pearls, gemstones, corals, and many underwater specialties.

Obviously, the sahuayu people don't want to give up this channel for obtaining land items for the time being. So in this case, they not only kept their promise but also returned the important account book.

At the same time, enough wealth was paid in exchange for these not cheap magic items and scrolls. According to the records in the ledger, the sahuayu people paid 3-5 times the price of these things on land when they bought these things.

"It's no wonder that so many people know that the sahuayu people are moody, and they may trade with them at any time." After getting the ledger, Lawrence immediately understood why so many people were willing to take huge risks to do such a thing. It is a dangerous and unacceptable business.

As the saying goes, the business of beheading is done by people, but the business of losing money is not done. And the profit of this business is enough to make many people ignore life and death.

"But this large sum of money belongs to me now." Lawrence happily grabbed a handful of pearls and gemstones from the box, and then opened his palm to let those things fall back into the box with a jingling sound.

"Now the construction speed of Sauer Island can be accelerated again. For example, buy a batch of building materials and machinery, and then buy some magic scrolls in this area through my father."

Because of Nora's flying speed, Lawrence commanded the jackals to drive the sailboat into the harbor, and the little puppet told him through the soul connection that Vieques Island had arrived. So he could only briefly talk to the jackal priest who hurried to the ship what to do next, and then left the astral plane.

When he came out of the space gate, he realized that he was standing in the urban area of ​​Vieques Island, although the entire urban area was under martial law during the war. But obviously the defenses here can't stop the little puppet from flying in. Fortunately, Nora also knew that this was not an enemy territory, so she flew to the outskirts of the city and landed. Instead of flying directly to the door of the headquarters.

When they walked towards the city center, they met a patrol team. After verifying Lawrence's identity, they made a special trip to escort Lawrence and Nora all the way to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, which is now the headquarters. After another inspection, the two of them entered the headquarters.
