But after hearing the name Lowe Charites, the Viscount’s face did not show any angry expression, but it was not obvious that he sank his face slightly, and it looked like the so-called Lowe and him There is no feud between them.

"Huh, Captain Amont, I actually want to go to the cargo hold to see if the family's cargo is firmly installed. In this stormy weather, even the condensed water magic pattern cannot be completely resisted. Powerful waves, right? I have to make sure this cargo is foolproof!"

After Captain Amont heard what the Viscount had said, he thought for a while, then waved to the crew behind him, and then whispered a few words, then turned his head and looked at the Viscount and said, "Okay. , But because there are a lot of cargo from other caravans in the cargo hold, I'll let you clean it up a bit, and I will let you check it tomorrow!"

After hearing that, the Viscount also nodded slightly, then turned and left the captain's room without saying a word.

After a while, the viscount also returned to the room in the cabin. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the voice of an old man suddenly ringing in the room.

"How about, did that guy agree?!"

"No problem, this time, I will definitely let my elder brother hand over the hereditary title!"

If Dol were here, it would be obvious that the old man who was talking to the Viscount was actually the old butler who had had some feasts with them when they first arrived in Peiros City!

The violent storm that has been raging for a day has slowly dissipated in the sky, and the clear night sky exposed after the storm also illuminates the surface of the entire endless sea, like a clear mirror, with only a few small waves. Rolling on the sea.

At this time, the faintly appearing Moon of Mars also occupies most of the sky. Under this night sky with only one moon, a strong magical atmosphere is constantly floating from the sea, forming a layer of faintness. Magic mist.

At this time, in the cabin of the sailing merchant ship, Dole and others were practicing. I saw some large magic spar stones were placed on the floor of the cabin, and the lines drawn with the magic pattern engraving brush also connected these magic spars together, forming a small spirit gathering magic pattern array. .

"Huh!" At this time, Dole, the strongest among the crowd, also slowly withdrew from the cultivation state. Because now Dol’s strength, whether it is a combat or legal post, has reached the state that must rely on comprehension to break through. This way of deliberately exercising his divine power and vindictiveness is nothing for Dol. .

And just as Dole just stood up, a figure trembled slightly, and then slowly woke up, seeing that Mia, whose magic power had reached the realm of half-step magister, was also slowly turning at this time. wake up. Then, looking at Dole, who had just exited the training state, the two smiled tacitly, and then left the room lightly.

After a while, Dole and Mia were already lying on the deck of the bow of the merchant ship. Looking at the bright night sky, Mia suddenly turned slightly to his side and leaned his head against Dole.

And Dole also turned his head slightly, and then said softly: "Unexpectedly, another six months has passed, I don't know how my father is now."

At this time, Mia was also slightly moved by the passage of time, and suddenly pointed to the faint star in the sky illuminated by the Moon of Mars and said: "I believe Uncle Mark will be fine. By the way, my mother once said to me, Each star point represents a sleeping god, look at the star that accompanies the moon of Mars, which **** do you think it will be?!"

However, Dole tilted his head slightly, took a closer look, and then said to Mia as if earnestly: "Actually, I think that the tallest stones that climb will eventually become stars. So I think That's just a huge rock!"

And Mia was slightly stunned when he heard Dole's horrifying words, and then patted Dole's chest with a laugh, and then did not speak. Just quietly feel this feeling of leaning on Dole.

And at this very warm time, a sound like a human body hitting the deck suddenly came from the zhongyang deck of the hull, and a scream also broke the merchant ship that finally calmed down, and also alarmed Dole and Mia two people.

I saw that Mia and Dole both stood up hurriedly, and then there was a trace of curiosity in their eyes, showing their bodies. The two disappeared on the deck at the bow.

At this time, on the deck of the merchant ship Zhongyang, a middle-aged noble woman in the caravan who did not know it was covering her mouth and pointing at a figure lying down on the deck and screaming. Several merchant crew members on duty were standing, and some crew members were blocking the crowd who wanted to watch from approaching. At this moment, a burly man also appeared on the outside of the crowd wearing the captain's costume with the symbol xìng.

"Get out of the way! All the crew block the entire deck!"

He only listened to the burly man pushing away the crowd in front of him, then came to the fallen figure, glanced slightly surprised at the middle-aged noble woman who was still screaming, and then shouted angrily.

And the woman’s unstoppable screams stopped abruptly as if the same high symphony encountered a rest, and the crowd of onlookers also gave up the idea of ​​finding out and began to disperse under the obstruction of the crew members who kept coming. In every corner of the deck, began to talk in low voices.

"Say, what happened!" At this time, the burly captain also began to ask Xiang the noble woman who was looking nervously at him.

Just when the captain began to understand the situation, Dole and Mia also came to the deck. Seeing the crew members who had blocked the area, Dole and Mia came to those scattered people silently. In the crowd in the corner, I began to listen to them talking about this topic.

"Did you see clearly just now? How do I feel that the guy lying on the ground looks like the Viscount Smith!"

"No, I heard that his elder brother, Marquis Smith, was recently named Duke of Bauhinia by the Wick Empire! That was the first duke to be named in these years. Who would dare to do something to his brother!"

"Duke Smith? I heard that there seems to be a guy named Lowe Charlie Tes who is making trouble with him recently. You know, that guy's destruction mission appears on the dark bounty list basically every day!"

…

After inquiring about some news, the faces of Dole and Mia became very jealous, because through the conversations between those people, Dole felt that he had just returned to the city of Peilos two years ago. The young man, and the name Lowe Charites reminded him of the old butler who used the teleport scroll to escape.

"Isn't it, such a coincidence?!" After struggling for a long time. Doer looked at the same tangled Mia with a very jealous expression, and then the two suddenly smiled at each other and said in unison.

And just as Dole and Mia said these words with a smile, in the cargo hold of this merchant ship. Two crew members in armors were carefully standing at the cargo hold door, chatting about what happened outside.

However, at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly flashed at the end of the cargo hold aisle, and a thinner crew member also shouted vigilantly: "Who?!"

The other crew member heard the yelling of his companion. He also suddenly pulled out the long sword in his hand nervously, and slowly walked towards the other end of the cargo hold aisle under his companion's eyes.

However, just as he walked halfway, he suddenly heard a sound of falling to the ground behind him. When he turned his head hurriedly, he saw a figure shrouded in black robe suddenly appeared in front of him. When he released his anger and slashed the long sword in his hand, the dark shadow suddenly passed through his body like this strangely, and then the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded in the cargo hold.

"Huh! A bunch of idiots, but. Reto? Smith! This time, I will let you hand over the title to me! It's a pity, your idiot brother actually wanted to cross the river to break the bridge, but he didn’t understand. Who is the bridge that was torn down!"

The dark shadow suddenly waved his black robe slightly, and saw the lights in the cargo hold aisle dimmed suddenly, and only an old and proud voice was slowly echoing in the cargo hold aisle.

Just as the people on the deck of the merchant ship were all talking about the fallen figure, the burly man also learned the situation from the middle-aged aristocratic woman, and then slightly frowned and looked at the person Viscount Smith, who was arrogantly mocking himself, was nothing more than a silent corpse now.

"Strange, although this guy may not be likable. But who has such a big feud while he is still on the ship?" Captain Almont squatted down slightly and checked the Viscount Smith's with his hands. The corpse, and then suddenly found out in surprise that Viscount Smith had actually died of poisoning.

but. Before Captain Amonte could continue thinking, one of the crew members squeezed away the crew members who were blocking the scene with an anxious and frightened expression, and then ran to Captain Amonte in disorderly steps and whispered in a hurry. A few sentences.

"What?!" Captain Amont suddenly yelled, and then ignored the corpse of Viscount Smith, and suddenly led a group of people toward the cargo hold at the stern.

The crowds who were standing on the deck and watching also discovered Captain Amont's anomaly. After being slightly surprised for a while, he hurriedly gathered around the scene where only a few crew members remained.

And Dole and Mia were also mixed in the crowd, only to see Dole looked at the figure of Captain Amont who was running farther and farther with a slight surprise, and then frowned suspiciously, but he was still with Mia. Get up and go outside the blocked scene.

"Please stay away! The captain has ordered this area to be sealed off!" One of the crew members looked at the crowds surrounding him, his body suddenly dazzled, and then shouted loudly.

However, the crew’s yelling was soon drowned in the constant rumors from the crowd. At this time, Dole and Mia also squeezed into the crowd and came to the blockade blocked by the crew. , And Dole saw the figure lying facing the deck and back to the sky at a glance. Suddenly Dole condensed slightly, and a vague magical power slowly passed through under the cover of his powerful annihilation domain. The blockade of the crew suddenly came to the figure.

And after seeing Dole’s expression, Mia was very cooperative and pretended to be very scared, and hid in Dole’s arms, first to support Dole’s body from being pushed down by the crowd behind him, and second. It was to cover up the solidified expression of Dole. At a glance, Dole and Mia were standing on the deck looking at the scene in front of them like two ordinary lovers.

At this moment. Captain Amonte also opened the door of the cargo hold passage with more than ten crew members. As soon as he opened it, he saw a faint fire light from inside, and Captain Amonte also showed a very anxious and frightened expression. Suddenly the vindictiveness that belonged to the Great Sword Master burst out of him, and then turned into an afterimage and entered the cargo hold passage.

I saw that in the cargo hold at this time, the two crewmen who watched the door were lying on the ground and could not die anymore, and the gate closed by the magic pattern was opened like a violent man, breaking open in the middle. A big hole. But bursts of fire also came out from the cargo hold through the big hole.

"Everyone, hurry up and put out the fire!" Hearing a roar suddenly came from the cargo hold, I saw the figure of Captain Amont already appeared in the cargo hold, shouting with his own grudge while looking at the fire in front of him. An absolute vacuum environment was formed in the cargo hold in front of you. After a while, the fire was slowly weakened, and the crew members who followed the captain also came in with buckets of water, bringing some Put out the cargo that was still faintly burning.

"Damn it! Why did anyone break into the cargo hold and no one noticed it?!" Captain Amont looked at the cargo that had been burned by a half, and suddenly thought that he would definitely be punished by the firm’s steward after he landed. There was an irresistible anger. Turning around, shouted angrily at the crew members who were standing behind him with their heads down.

And when Captain Amont was angry, a dark figure appeared out of thin air at the entrance of the cabin on the deck, and because the people on the deck were surrounded by the dead Viscount Smith, No one noticed the weird black figure, and saw that black figure looked at the crowd not far away, and suddenly laughed coldly, and then walked into the cabin. .

But at this moment, Dole, who was in the innermost part of the crowd, also withdrew the divine power that had spread out, and then gently nodded to Mia in his arms. The two slowly squeezed out from the crowd again.

"It's weird. Although the guy said he was poisoned to death, I found something strange behind his back, but I have to check it carefully to know what it is!" Just walked out of the crowd. Dole frowned slightly and said to Mia, and Mia also thought about it, and then said.

"I always feel that this matter has nothing to do with the old butler back then! But, will the old butler have already spotted us?!"

But at this moment, before Dole could speak, the two saw that Captain Almonte had just left and walked towards the deck from the stern with a look of anger. A group of hurried crew members followed behind him.

"Where's the chief officer?!" Just when Captain Amont arrived on the deck, he asked the crew members who had caught up beside him. Before the crew members could answer, he gave a loud shout. It came from the crowd surrounded by layers.

I saw the middle-aged man wearing the costume of the merchant ship's chief officer squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty, and then stood breathlessly in front of Captain Amonte and asked.

"Captain, what's the matter?"

Captain Amonte and the first officer also walked aside and talked in a low voice. At this time, Dole and Mia had already unknowingly returned to the cabin. As soon as they entered the door, they saw that Bossi and others had already After exiting the cultivation state, the magic spar was also put away by Corey, and the three people's faces were slightly anxious. Just as the two of Dole opened the door, Bossi hurriedly asked.

"What happened?! A crew member had been stopped at the exit of the cabin before, saying that the deck had been blocked!"

And Dole also explained to Bossi at this time, because Lilith and Corey both knew the old butler who had escaped from them, their faces sank slightly, and only Bossi had a face. Inexplicably, he kept asking about the old housekeeper.

The sea surface under the hazy night, although there is no wave of the storm when the storm came, it has rendered a slightly depressed atmosphere, and at this time, on the slowly sailing merchant ship, almost all the passengers were The crew led to the deck, and in the light of the pale blue Mars Moon, Captain Amonte and the Merchant Ship’s chief mate and others were standing in front of the merchant ship’s bow, watching the passengers complaining and chatting below. . Suddenly, with Captain Amonte's vindictive cough, all the voices gradually disappeared, and everyone's eyes turned to the burly Captain Amonte.

"Sorry for disturbing the passengers at so late. However, because of a cruel murder on the merchant ship just now, I have to gather everyone and check to see if there are other victims!"

Just when Captain Amonte's voice just fell. The unknowing passengers all showed a very shocked look, but the crowd on the deck just now was not too shocked, just standing quietly listening to Captain Amont's underneath.

"We have confirmed the identity of the victim this time. It is Viscount Hill Smith from Peiros City, who is also the younger brother of Duke Reto Smith. Therefore, if anyone knows the truth, they can stand up now, otherwise, The Lord Duke found out. Presumably none of us had any good results!"

Captain Amonte said slowly with a grudge, and in the process, Captain Amonte and the first mate beside him stared at the expressions of everyone on the deck, as if there were only people on the deck. As soon as he changed, he was caught immediately.

However, after the voice of Captain Amonte fell, there was still no suspicious person, but those unknowing passengers began to talk in private, and Captain Amonte shook slightly when he saw that there was no result. Shook his head. Then he waved his hand slightly and said.

"In order to cooperate with our investigation of this case, I hope that you will stay in your room before this time. The deck has been sealed off. And I will send crew members to guard the cabin. If something strange happens, you can seek Their help!"

Just after Captain Amonte finished speaking, the crew began to lead the passengers back to their rooms in an orderly manner, and the five of Dole were standing in the crowd at this time, and the gods were like passengers on the same side. The crew who followed and led them walked towards the cabin.

After a while, the five of Dole had returned to the room located in the cabin. Seeing the crew members standing every few meters in the cabin passage, Dole also shook his head slightly and closed the door of the room.

"What do we do now? Are we just staying in this room, waiting for those guys to solve the case?!"

Dole had just turned around, and then he heard Corey, the fat man biting the little fruit in the room with a depressed expression, and then said to himself.

"I think that old guy is definitely not so easy to be spotted. I think if Dole hadn't observed carefully at the beginning, and the acting was better at that time, we couldn't reveal that the black hand behind the scenes was actually the one who looked very Ordinary old guy!"

At this time, Lilith was also frowning beautifully, sitting quietly at the table for the first time and analyzing.

And while Dole and others were thinking about countermeasures, in the room that belonged to Viscount Smith before that, Captain Amont was standing in the middle of the room and staring at the surroundings of the room, and several crew members were constantly there. Looking for something all around the room.

"Captain, nothing has been discovered!"

"Neither here!"

At this moment ~lightnovelpub.net~ the crew members who were looking for any suspicious signs also reported, and Captain Amont's brows were also frowned tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, in the cargo hold where the fire had just been extinguished, several merchant ship crews were counting the burned cargo, and saw that the cargo hold that was originally full of cargo was already a little empty at this time, and there were still residues on the ground. Those dark traces burned by the fire, although there are the existence of the ship's reinforcement magic pattern, this kind of fire is unlikely to cause damage to the ship's hull, but those precious cargoes have turned into piles of ashes.

"Fortunately, the goods of several major customers have not been affected. However, I always feel a little strange. Look at these burning places, it turns out that all the goods should be put in Duke Smith's goods!" A crew member is finishing the inventory. After all the goods, he said to the crew member who handled those burn marks.

"Yes, fortunately the captain asked us to move the cargo location yesterday to facilitate the inspection of the Viscount Smith. Otherwise, the Duke's cargo will probably turn into fly ash this time!" And that person is cleaning up The crew of the cargo ashes on the ground also exclaimed.

However, the two of them didn't notice. Just when their voices fell, a black shadow suddenly flashed through the dark ashes, and then floated out of the cargo hold aisle. (To be continued.)
