"When you're done with the trouble in front of you!"

Dean leaned back slightly, and said in a good moment.

"Trouble at hand? Be...... The Pirate League thing? ”

Nord was slightly stunned, and then asked guessingly.

"Hmmm! That's it -- Nord, did you find anything? ”

Dean nodded, looked at Nord with a thoughtful look on his face, and couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't find anything, but I knew something about the two guilds that were hijacked - the people from the Locke Chamber of Commerce and the Sailing Chamber of Commerce, we had been in contact and wanted to invite each other to join...... Join the Seymour United Family; However, the heads of the two chambers of commerce did not agree to such a proposal! I was a little indignant before, but now it seems that these two leaders made the right choice, and Seymour has nothing to join in - I hope they are safe! ”

Without waiting for Dean to ask, Nord told what he knew.

Finally, he silently blessed the two chambers of commerce.

"That's right!"

Dean nodded again, and then the conversation quickly shifted to some of the customs and customs of Southport County.

After Nord gave an overview of Southport, 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 the word 'Sichuan', among them, the second main road is the middle one, which is the main road connecting the entire Nangang County dock area and business district.

Therefore, the flow of people here shuttles and rubs shoulders.

There are a number of large and small shops. There are also merchants of different colors.

Of course. Such a bustling seller. Naturally, it's because there are so many buyers!

In addition to the very few natives of Nangang County, there are also merchants from all over the Emerald from the other two counties in the south, or the Emerald Capital, and the four counties further north.

Of course, more of them were the merchants of the Free Federation.

The merchants of the Free Federation, dressed in what looked like wizards' robes, but in different colors, and wearing all kinds of exquisite ornaments. It has always been the most welcome guest of the merchants of the whole Southport County.

In addition to the generous offering, more importantly, these merchants will be responsible for the wizards' purchases, and once the deal is done, if you are lucky, it will be a huge order.

So, when Dean's gaze swept over, those merchants who belonged to the Free Federation saw all the merchants of the Free Federation who would be welcomed.

"Your Excellency, I will convey your intentions to the Elders. After that, I will come to you again! ”

Nord stood by the carriage. Said so.

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

"Tom, stay here!"

Dean commanded, and then walked with the Grand Duke Swordsman, towards the location of Nock provided by the thief.

"Instructor, are you thinking about the words of the previous Nord?"

Dean, who was walking forward, looked at the thoughtful expression of the Grand Duke swordsman beside him, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Hmmm! Something is wrong with the Pirate Alliance, which has left aside the fleets of the most famous Deta family and the Seymour United family in Southport County, but attacked Locke and the Sailing Chamber of Commerce - if it could be considered that they were afraid of the armed forces of Southport County at first, then with the specially spread rumors, His Highness took the initiative to attack, and such a scruple did not exist at all! After all, if you are not afraid of a gold-level powerhouse, the fleet of the Deta family and the Seymour United family will definitely not be taken to heart! In addition, Nord said before that the Seymour United family had been in contact with these two chambers of commerce...... Perhaps, I was overthinking! ”

The Grand Duke Swordsman frowned slightly, and finally, shook his head.

Obviously, although she thought about her guess, she had little confidence in it.

"No, no, you're not thinking much about it, instructor - because I'm thinking about it too...... I think it's a coincidence! ”

Dean waved his hand, not denying the Grand Duke's swordsman's guess, but agreeing.

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

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

"So, we need to prove it—after that, let's check the history of the Seymour family, and look at the families it once invited, how many of them are unlucky, and how many of them are intact!"

Dean said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

The Grand Duke swordsman was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of something, raised his head and looked at Dean with good eyes.

"I didn't say anything - I just wanted to see the history of the Seymour family, after all, in less than fifty years, it has become one of the top families in Southport County, and has the largest fleet, and I'm still curious!"

Dean shrugged.

"Hmm!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman nodded, and did not continue to ask.

Walking side by side, the two turned into a fork in the road between the second and third main roads in the docklands, and continued to go deeper.

Soon, when the noise died down and the ground was stained, Dean and the Grand Duke Swordsman stopped.

In contrast, the windows on the main road are bright and clean, but the houses in front of you are much more dilapidated.

On the two floors of uneven steps, full of gaps, a rusty iron door stood in the way.

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

"Locked from the inside!"

Dean said, and with a slight leap, he climbed over the wall that was not low in front of him.

Click!

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

"Watch out for the traps on the ground!"

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

These were traps set by the thief to defend himself and his foothold.

However, as the other thief said, the other party's skills are really not very good. Dean was just climbing over the wall. The moment of the glancing. I knew the layout of a qiē in my chest.

If it weren't for the habitual prudence, such an arrangement would not need to be wary at all.

Dean can't think of anyone who would be fooled other than ordinary people.

The Grand Duke Swordsman cautiously walked in and closed the iron door again, while Dean looked around-

A neat stack of wood, with axes still next to the firewood.

There was a thick layer of ash on the ground.

It is located in the barn on the side, except for some dry straw. Nothing.

Dean stepped open the door to the room.

The inside is likewise neat and tidy, and there is nothing.

Especially when Dean found a few dark compartments, the inside was even cleaner, as if someone had carefully wiped it down.

"Able to take all the valuables with him, and besides, it's neat and tidy here, and Nock is clearly walking in stride - at least one thing that Mike is right, Nock must have deliberately set up a trick for him to drill!"

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

"Let this guy run! It's so close to the docks, this guy might be in the Free Federation or the High Race by now! ”

Grand Duke Swordsman sighed.

"Free Confederation and High Race? No, no. He wouldn't be going to the Free Confederation or the Gosai - a safe place, but a place to pass through. But it's dangerous...... Have you forgotten that the people he worries and fears are from the sea? ”

Dean shook his head slightly.

"You mean, he's going overland?"

Grand Duke Swordsman looked at Dean, who nodded and said, "There should be at least two horses in that barn, and it's not a bad choice to go by land!" ”

"I'll immediately inform Merry and Count Katyu and let them issue a wanted warrant!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman said immediately, and turned around to walk out.

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

"There's no way he's going to get to Merry or Katyu—and even, in a sense, he's not even leaving Southport! You know, it's not just us looking for him, but the Pirate Alliance is also looking for him, and even more so viciously...... Moreover, the qiē here all shows that they have found a person who knows the root to complete the task of delivering the letter! ”

Dean said with certainty.

That is to say...... This foothold, those people of the Pirate Alliance also know? ”

Grand Duke Swordsman frowned again.

"Well, besides, Nock is not really smart, just a little clever - if he gives up a qiē here, there is still a three-point chance to escape the pursuit of those Pirate Alliance, after all, the designed Mike has bought him a considerable amount of time, and it will definitely not be so easy for those Pirate Alliance people to confirm the situation in Emerald Castle! However, once he showed up here...... One qiē and it's all over! ”

Dean nodded, speaking his analysis.

"It's all neat, and the dust on the ground shows that no one has come in since the owner of this place left—because the pirate alliance is out in ambush and has taken Nok away; That's why they don't care about the qiē here! ”

The Grand Duke Swordsman instantly figured out the key points between them.

However, soon the Grand Duke Swordsman's Master also reacted.

"This clue is broken!"

She said.

There was a hint of annoyance in his tone.

"No, the clue is not broken, on the contrary, we get something more useful - for a thief, he definitely does not want to know his details to anyone else, except for the closest people, or ......"

Dean smiled and looked at the Grand Duke Swordsman, his tone slightly elongated.

"The local union you belong to!"

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

"Let's go, let's go see the thieves' guild to which Nock belongs - I hope your aunt doesn't kill us, so we can have some gains!"

Dean said this, and then walked briskly towards the Thieves' Guild stronghold in the docks of Southport that Mike had confessed.

The Grand Duke swordsman followed.
