The sound of raindrops beating on the window was a little hurried.

The dots are connected to form a line, the line is connected to form a surface, and finally the entire window is covered, the wiper is activated, and the rain is wiped away, and the repetition continues.

Departure from Moss Island was brought forward by almost a full day as all passengers returned to their cabins.

The captain was reluctant at first. In his line of work, he pays attention to credibility. If there are no people, he will leave. If there are any mistakes or omissions, if the outside world finds out, it will lose the guests.

People know that you are a captain who leaves without waiting. Who dares to board your ship?

Well, there are always exceptions, especially when one of the guests on the ship shows the purse and their weapons from the other passengers, then there is nothing to say, especially when there are a few others who echoed. , said that he had seen the bodies of those guys with his own eyes.

Waiting for the dead, it's not necessary, isn't it?

What's more, the two murderers were by his side.

Murder at sea is regulated by law, but Demingham doesn't care about those who die when they go out and board the islands outside the waters managed by Demingham. The reason is very simple, and they cannot be controlled at all!

Whether it's the police station or the Irregularity Bureau, they all know the situation on the overseas islands, and sometimes they just don't like each other's eyes, or a meaningless quarrel will lead to life and death, and the corpse will die within a few days. It has to be eaten by the beasts on the island. How can this kind of case be investigated or what if it is found?

uh~ hiss~

The short-haired woman was in a coma for more than an hour, and finally woke up. Anthony underestimated the spiritual power of a wizard. The physical scars did not affect her mental strength.

Even though she can't move just yet.

"where am I......"

Looking at the surrounding scenery, it should be the cabin, not the lounge on the ship, but the captain's room. She was just lying on the chair behind the rudder, with a white cat squatting beside her.

Seeing that the woman was awake, Finger jumped from the cargo box on the side and ran to the floor-to-ceiling window next to the captain's room, slapping the glass with his paw, attracting Donald's attention.

"You finally woke up. What happened on Moss Island? Who are you? I saw a lot of the bodies of your companions on the ground."

Donald wanted to inquire about the forces behind this woman, so he kept Finger by her side. As for him and Anthony, they were always leaning on the side of the boat, with backpacks and the like in the cabin, and people were protected from the rain. Cloak, not afraid of getting wet.

The woman glanced at Donald, did not speak, just leaned back in the chair and looked up at the roof of the cabin, the sadness in her eyes hard to hide.

"Actually, I saved you for a reason. This is what I found on you... You don't have to move, I didn't want to rob you."

It's going to be ashore in a while, Donald didn't want to find people from this sect and found nothing. He took out the ring that was taken from the woman's finger. The latter was very concerned about this object and struggled to get it back. Donald had to take the initiative to put the ring on her hand before continuing,

"Look at this, what my parents left me, in their letters, they said that as long as I hold this ring, I can join you. I have kept it until I saw you today."

The side effects were not very effective, Donald could only go straight, took out the ring he was carrying, walked to the woman, and gave her a look.

"Golden Ring..."

Noticing the ring that was obviously different from theirs, the woman finally spoke up.

As for this "golden ring", Donald thought that it should not be talking about its material, but expressing a certain meaning it represents.

"Actually, if you don't have a ring similar to it, I won't save you at all. If you can, can you tell me about your situation?"

Noticing the apparent softening of the woman's face after he took out the ring, Donald knew he had done the right thing.

"We were attacked by Norton's spear, and all but me...all, were dead...and I was damned."

The woman glanced at the captain who was still at the helm in front of her, as if to confirm his identity, her voice was weak and hoarse, sounding like a dying old man.

Norton's Spear, Anthony is right, this group is targeting these people.

"Then why did you appear on the Moss Island? And there are still so many people, following Norton's Spear, can't you notice it?"

A wizard and a group of wizards, the combat power can not be calculated by a simple addition, the combination of different spells can often produce more powerful combat power.

And this group of wizards was destroyed on a low-intensity island like this, and no other body was seen at the scene.

"This is a **** trap! Ahem... They must have found out that Baggins found a mutated beast first... Let the beast kill him, and deliberately let him in Sending a message in front of him or borrowing his hand... sent a distress message to the sect, and then tricked us into this island, they came with us, that ship... that ship!"

The woman's intermittent words allowed Donald to roughly sort out the general situation of the incident.

The man with the black-clawed mole's note that Donald and Anthony found was what the woman called Baggins, and no matter how he knew about the existence of black-clawed moles on the island, his actions should be the result of Norton's actions. The spear watched.

After the people of Norton's Spear discovered that Baggins was going to go out to sea alone, they immediately sent people to follow him and came to the moss island, looking for an opportunity to get rid of him with the help of black-clawed moles. It was not revealed that Baggins sent a distress message to his sect out of the will to survive, or that after Baggins died, Norton's Spear used a device he held to send a distress message.

In any case, Baggins' sect received the message and dispatched a team to rescue them as soon as possible. As a result, they fell into the trap of Norton's Spear and they found an opportunity to assassinate him on Moss Island.

If it weren't for the accident of Donald, Norton's Spear would undoubtedly be a success. Once all these people die on Moss Island, when the sect finds out about this, it must be after the rainstorm week. By then, all traces of the virgin forest and the storm will be lost. Destroyed, no way to find out.

"Why are the Norton Spears chasing you?"

Donald realized that the sect was not as safe as he thought.

"......that power!"

The woman was silent for a long time, and finally gave such an answer. Donald wanted to continue to ask, but she closed her eyes, the meaning could not be clearer.

So Donald left the cabin and returned to the side of the deck.

"How's it going?"

Anthony is wearing a strange mask, not a strange shape, but an ordinary mask. The key is that the mask has some mechanical structures on the eyes and mouth, as well as some strange mechanical devices on the ears.

The rain hit the two lenses in front of the lens barrels, which were about half a finger long, protruding from Anthony's eyes. When the rain accumulated to a certain level, Anthony would press a small organ in his ear, and in the blink of an eye, the lenses looked like It was replaced by a piece, and it looked brand new.

"I have a token of the faction she belongs to. My parents used to be involved in her sect, so I chose to save her before. They were tricked into Moss Island and assassinated by Norton's Spear. , heavy casualties, she said it was caused by power, I don't quite understand... Your mask is a strange thing?"

Donald didn't wear goggles, his face was covered with rain, and he didn't want to enter the rest cabins of the crew. The smell there was not as real as smelling the wind and rain outside.

"Mask? This is what I asked someone to do. You just came to Demingham, I don't know if it's normal. The mechanical technology here is very developed. After I go back, I will introduce you to a place. He specializes in making these masks, not only can There are many functions to cover up the face, such as the replacement of the lens, which is only a primary function, and the lens barrel on some of his masks can even be enlarged or reduced, but the price is another level."

Anthony turned around and switched lenses a few times in front of Donald, and the topic returned to the woman in the cabin,

"I heard people talk about Norton's Spear at the sea market. This organization often appears in assassination incidents between some forces, and the woman in it should belong to a certain sect according to you, and it is caused by power, Then I think it's her organization that provokes another organization to assassinate each other in order to compete for some...status or something, which is not uncommon in Demingham."

As a longtime resident of Demingham, Anthony clearly knows more than Donald in some respects.

"Not uncommon... there are often assassinations?"

Donald has been in Preston for nearly two months, reading the newspaper every day, but he has never seen any news of an assassination.

"Yes, for example, in the previous whale oil industry, at that time, several large companies and forces competed for the priority development rights of this technology~lightnovelpub.net~ The fight was overwhelming. The fight here does not refer to anything, but The real battle, whether it was business or politics, or mutual assassination in private, at that time, the newspapers in Demingham, the news agencies were so happy that they woke up every day with big news waiting for them to report.”

Demingham is not just far ahead of Preston on a social level, it is vastly different in every way.

Here, the major chambers of commerce, financial groups, and power organizations are no longer political vassals. They are participating in politics and using these networks to seek a profit cake for themselves in this commercialized metropolis.

This is an unavoidable development trend. The struggle for interests is often the most tragic struggle. If you want to get the best part, you will naturally have to fight and grab it.

Want to get a foothold in Demingham, without factions, backups, networks...that sort of thing.

Then it is impossible to truly become a vested interest.
