Chapter 384: Clue III

"When the troubles in front of me are solved!"

Dean leaned back slightly, and said calmly.

"The trouble in front of me? Is it... the matter of the Pirate Alliance?"

Nord was slightly taken aback, and then asked guessingly.

"Hmm! That's it - Nord, have you found anything?"

Dean nodded, looking at Nord with a thoughtful expression on his face, he couldn't help asking.

"I didn't find anything, I just knew something about the two hijacked chambers of commerce—people from the Locke Chamber of Commerce and the Sailing Chamber of Commerce. We had contacted and wanted to invite each other to join...into the Seymour United Family; however, the two The person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce did not agree to such a proposal! I was a little bit aggrieved before, but now it seems that the choice of the two leaders is correct, but Seymour has nothing to join—I hope they are safe and sound thing!"

Nord didn't wait for Dean to ask, and told everything he knew.

Finally, I silently blessed the two chambers of commerce.

"That's right!"

Dean nodded again, and then, the topic of the two sides quickly shifted to some local customs in Nangang County.

After Nord gave an overview of Nangang County, the carriage stopped.

The second main road in the dock area is the most prosperous main road in Nangang County.

There are three main roads in the entire dock area, similar to the layout of a "Chuan" character. Among them, the second main road is the one in the middle, which is the main road connecting the entire Nangang County dock area and the commercial area.

Therefore, there is a flow of people here, rubbing shoulders.

There are not only large and small shops, but also various peddlers.

Of course, such a prosperous seller is naturally due to the large number of buyers!

Except for a very small number of Nangang County natives. There are also merchants from all over the emerald, they come from the other two counties in the south, or the capital of emerald. And the farther north four counties.

Of course, there are more businessmen from the Free Federation.

They all wore robes that looked like wizards.

But the merchants of the Free Federation in different colors and wearing all kinds of exquisite accessories have always been the most welcome guests of the merchants in Nangang County.

In addition to being generous, what's more, these merchants will be responsible for the wizards' purchases. Once a deal is made, if you are lucky, it will be a huge order.

so. When Dean glanced over, those businessmen who belonged to the Free Federation saw all the free federal businessmen who would be welcomed.

"Your Excellency, I will convey your thoughts to the elder, and after that, I will come to you again!"

Nord stood beside the carriage and said this.

Then, after Dean nodded, he boarded the carriage and left quickly.

"Tom. Stay here!"

Dean ordered, and then he and the archduke swordsman walked towards the foothold of Nok provided by the thief.

"Instructor. Are you thinking about Nord's words?"

Dean, who was walking, looked at the thoughtful expression of the archduke swordsman beside him, and couldn't help asking with a smile.

"Well! The Pirate Alliance left behind the fleets of the most famous Detta family and the Seymour United family in Nangang County, but attacked Locke and the Sailing Merchant Association. This is a bit wrong-if you can think that they are afraid of the armed forces of Nangang County at the beginning In terms of strength, then following the deliberately spread rumors, His Highness took the initiative to attack, such scruples do not exist at all! After all, you are not afraid of a gold-level powerhouse, the fleet of the Detta family and the Seymour United family. It will definitely not be taken to heart! In addition, Nord said before that the Seymour United Family had contacted these two chambers of commerce... Maybe. I was thinking too much!"

The Grand Duke's swordsman frowned slightly, and finally. shook his head.

Obviously, even though she thought about her guess, she didn't have much confidence.

"No, no, instructor, you didn't think too much—because I was also thinking about this question... I feel that it's a bit of a coincidence!"

Dean waved his hand, and instead of denying the Archduke's swordsman's guess, he agreed with it.

"But, what if it's really just a coincidence?"

The Archduke Swordsman did not arbitrarily think that he was right because of Dean's approval.

"So, we need to prove——afterwards, we will check the development history of the Seymour United family and look at the families it has invited. Some of them are unlucky, and some of them are intact and boring!"

Dean said with a smile.

"what do you mean?"

The Archduke Swordsman was taken aback for a moment, then thought of something, raised his head and looked at Dean with good-looking eyes.

"I didn't say anything—I just wanted to look at the development history of the Seymour United family. After all, in less than 50 years, they became the number one family in Nangang County and owned the largest fleet. , I'm still curious!"

Dean shrugged.

"Ok!"

The Archduke Swordsman nodded, but did not continue to ask.

The two walked side by side, turned into a branch road between the second main road and the third main road in the dock area, and continued to go deeper.

Soon, when the noise disappeared and various stains appeared on the ground, Dean and the Archduke Swordsman stopped in their tracks.

Compared with the bright and clean windows on the main road, the house in front of me looks much dilapidated.

On the two floors full of gaps and extremely uneven steps, there is a rusty iron door blocking there.

Dean stepped forward and pushed the iron door carefully, feeling the force of the obstruction——

"Locked from the inside!"

Dean said, with a slight leap, he climbed over the not-so-low wall in front of him.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the iron door opened from the inside with a 'squeak'.

"Be careful of the traps on the ground!"

Dean pointed to the bear trap behind the door, and a crossbow with a string attached to the trigger.

These are all traps set by the thief to defend himself and the safety of his foothold.

However, as another thief said, the opponent's technology is really not very good. Dean just climbed over the wall and glanced at it, and he knew everything in his chest.

If not for habitual caution. With such an arrangement, there is no need to be wary at all.

Dean couldn't think of anyone but the common man who would be fooled.

The Archduke Swordsman walked in cautiously. Closed the iron door again, and Dean looked around——

A neat stack of logs. The ax was still by the firewood.

There was a thick layer of dust on the ground.

In the barn on the side, there is nothing except some dry straw.

Dean stepped forward and opened the door of the room.

The inside is also neat and tidy, nothing.

Especially when Dean found a few hidden compartments, the insides were as clean as if they had been carefully wiped down.

"Being able to take away all valuable items, and it's still neat and tidy, Noke obviously walked very calmly—at least one thing Mike said was right. Noke should have deliberately set up a trick for him to get through!"

Dean stood in the center of the room and said slowly.

"Let this guy run away! This place is so close to the pier, this guy may have already reached the Freedom Federation or Gaosai!"

The archduke swordsman sighed.

"Freedom Federation and Gaosai? No, no, he will definitely not go to Liberty Federation or Gaosai—although it is a very safe place, the place to pass through is extremely dangerous... Have you forgotten that he is worried , Is the frightened person from the sea?"

Dean shook his head slightly.

"You mean, he traveled by land?"

The Archduke Swordsman looked at Dean, who nodded and said, "There should be at least two horses in the barn. Going by land is not a bad choice!"

"I'll immediately notify Meri and Earl Katyu, and let them issue an arrest warrant!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman said immediately, and. Turn around and go out.

However, the next moment, he was stopped by Dean.

"It's impossible for him to reach Meri County or Kaqiu County—even, in a sense, he hasn't even left Nangang County! You know, not only we are looking for him, but the people of the Pirate Alliance are also looking for him. Looking for him, even more vicious... And, everything here shows that. They found a person who knows everything to complete the task of delivering the letter!"

Dean said with certainty.

"That is to say... this foothold, those members of the Pirate Alliance also know?"

The Archduke Swordsman frowned again.

"Well. Moreover, Noke is not really smart, just a little smart-if he abandons everything here, he still has a three-point chance to escape the pursuit of those Pirate Alliance people. After all, Mike, who was designed, gave him After buying quite a bit of time, it will definitely not be that simple for those members of the Pirate Alliance to confirm the situation in Emerald Castle! However, once he appears here... everything will be over!"

Dean nodded and talked about his own analysis.

"It's very tidy here, and the dust on the ground also shows that no one has come in after the owner of this place left - because the people of the Pirate Alliance ambushed outside and directly captured Noke; therefore, they I don't care about everything here!"

The Grand Duke Sword Master instantly figured out the key point between them.

However, the Archduke Swordsman soon reacted in the same way.

"This thread is broken!"

she said.

There was a bit of annoyance in his tone.

"No, this clue has not been broken. On the contrary, we have obtained more useful things-for a thief, he absolutely does not want others to know his details, unless it is the closest person, or... "

Dean looked at the archduke swordsman with a smile, and his tone was slightly elongated.

"The local trade union you belong to!"

The Grand Duke's swordsman's eyes lit up.

"Let's go, let's go and see the thieves' union that Nock belongs to—I hope your aunt didn't kill me, so we can still gain something!"

Dean said this, and then walked quickly towards the stronghold of the Thieves Union in the South Port Wharf area that Mike had explained.

The Grand Duke Swordsman followed closely behind.
