Chapter 461: Church action

After everyone chatted briefly on the small square in front of the church, everyone boarded the brig via the boat ferry and checked it out. It may be because there is a specialization factor in the art industry. Just ten minutes after the clergy boarded the ship, they found some clues that Lawrence had not found before.

"The things this ship used to transport should be related to a certain cult church, because I can feel the evil power circulating in this secret room." After inspecting the small secret room on the bottom of the cabin, a paladin from the crucifixion church Speaking seriously,

"It's a pity that because this ship has been contaminated with too many sources of evil power before, it is more difficult to pinpoint what the missing thing should look like."

"It's really bad, why can such a ship still sail on the sea?" A young agricultural church priest whispered. After all, for these clergymen, they use the breath of the evil **** to lock each other's identity under normal circumstances. It's a sure thing, but I didn't expect to encounter a nail this time.

"After all, people always have some goods that are not convenient to transport with other things, so as long as the trade exists, this secret transport ship will not end." said a priest of the Church of Fortune. "I have already contacted the bishop of this area. If there is no accident, we will know the specific identity of this ship soon."

In addition to feeling the breath of the evil god, these priests also accurately judged the time when the people left the ship: it was two days before the lighthouse on the island found the ship.

These messages were also sent to the various churches to help each church determine as much as possible the path that the ship passed before and determine the specific identity of the ship.

Although this brig tried to hide its identity through a series of modifications and disguise of all the supplies on board, this disguise did not have much effect under the joint investigation of various churches. Soon, the commercial church understood the specific identity of the ship through a dark spot in the black market in the northwest of the church.

"The information has been found out." At this time everyone had completed the inspection and returned to the shore and gathered in the conference room below Lawrence's office. While everyone was discussing, a young fortune church apprentice priest ran over and said with a piece of paper.

"According to the information from the church in the north, this ship was previously registered as an ordinary transport ship, but in fact it was a hidden transport ship belonging to the thieves’ guild’s fleet. It had previously used the excuse of offshore transportation in Xingchenhai and Transport some dangerous and obviously illegal things around."

"I don't think this ship will only transport things with a certain degree of danger before." Nora whispered beside her. "Because if this thing is really only a certain degree of danger as said, this ship should not have the unexpected situation like this."

"This situation is not easy to say." Lawrence shook his head and said. "Because there are too many types of extraordinary items, especially some things have special hiding capabilities. So when transporting these extraordinary items, it is normal to accidentally bring dangerous items onto the ship. This The boat should just be too unlucky. It just happened to meet something that can have an effect on the sea or release some kind of signal."

At this time, the apprentice priest had already informed everyone present on the information that was just investigated. In addition to the forces to which the ship belongs, they also found out the identity of the consignor. Unlike imagined, this group of people is not a cult or a devil worship organization, but a group of guys called Seawalkers.

Seawalker is a collective term for the personnel dispatched by marine intelligent creatures to the shore, some of which come from forces closer to humans. And the other part is the spies sent to the shore by those extremely hostile guys on the shore. According to the investigation, the group of people consigned this time came from a certain marine life force that expressed hatred for everything on the shore.

"So I think the disappearance of the people on the ship and the things on the ship may be a result of the shipper's hope." Mr. Lambert said to Lawrence. "Because the churches have just mobilized a special force to find the group of clients and recipients, but all of them were out. According to the situation in the empty house, they probably left after finishing the assignment."

"Leaving directly, this is really too suspicious." Saifei asked in a puzzled way, "Since they sent such things away through the thieves' guild channel, doesn't the thieves guild feel that something is wrong? ? At least if it were me, I would doubt these things if I found out that the guests left suddenly."

"If you transport something by normal means, this behavior is very suspicious. But for the underground transportation network in the black market led by the Thieves Guild, such customers are really normal."

Mr. Lambert shook his head and said. "Don't forget, those people who need to transport something through this transportation network have various reasons to avoid the sight of most people, so it is very common to disappear directly after completing the consignment procedures. Kind of operation."

"They didn't ask--" Lawrence just said half a sentence and suddenly reacted. He wanted to face a group of guests who wanted to hide everything. The reason why this underground transportation network can operate today is likely to have a basic principle. Just don't inquire about any customers, otherwise this underground network will not be able to continue to operate until today.

"Yes, the information we got through the Thieves Guild did not get any more information besides confirming that it was a metal box about the size of a watermelon." Mr. Lambert said.

"But they can be sure that the metal box uses a common magic-absent metal, that is to say, the body of this thing is likely to have some special magic radiation. This is basically the same as Lawrence's previous guess."

"Your Excellency August, there is new news from the church headquarters." At this moment, a trainee priest of the Church of Knowledge walked in with a thick stack of documents. "This is the ship that has recently disappeared nearby. As you guessed before, there was only one ship missing recently at the place you were looking for~lightnovelpub.net~Thank you." Lambert took the document from his subordinates. Nodded to him, then distributed these documents to everyone present, and said. "This is what I asked the headquarters about the recent history of the passage of ships in the area where this ship may have disappeared. Obviously, all other ships arrived at their destination smoothly."

"If it is a sea beast attack, there are likely to be other victims, even if there are no victims, there will be a large number of witnesses. Because sea beasts often do not take the initiative to hide themselves.

As the person who has dealt most with all kinds of extraordinary creatures, the priest of the agricultural church present said immediately. "Accurately locking a ship on the route like this and taking away all the people and cargo on the ship can basically be determined not by sea beasts."

However, after discussing this step, things have reached a stalemate, because now everyone can confirm that someone has bypassed various supervisions by this means and has given some kind of extraordinary item to certain sea people who are hostile to ground creatures. Information, it is naturally impossible to infer more detailed content about this matter.

Of course, this does not mean that everyone does nothing. At least the church has decided to organize an exploratory team to go to the place where the ship disappeared within three days to see if it can detect more clues. In addition, they will also send someone to Lawrence to take away the ship and the barnacles found on the ship.
