He didn’t find Luzi in the control room. When he reached the deck, he found the administrative officer, but Luzi didn’t look too good.
She didn’t even notice the little girl approaching until Vivian spoke, which startled her.
“Miss Vivian, I think…Something’s not right.”
“Something’s not right. It’s…”
Roko didn’t say anything. Instead, she frowned and continued to look at the port of the Moon Abyss Island where the Astorokis was docked.
Vivian looked over and was a little shocked.
There was a huge black mass at the port. It was probably filled with the citizens of the Thousand Islands who were watching. The crowd was pointing at the Astorokis, as if they were discussing it. Moreover, most of the people had surprised expressions on their faces.
As they were on the three-story deck, which was equivalent to two to three stories high, they could not hear it too clearly. They could only vaguely catch the words ” Orochi come back alive “,” shipwreck “, and so on.
Combined with the expressions of the crowd, it was not difficult to determine that they had rushed over so quickly after learning that the Astorokis had docked. They probably did not expect that they would survive the shipwreck.
Vivian thought it was normal at first. There was nothing strange about it, right? This was just a normal phenomenon for people to have a miracle.
However, the wolf cub in her arms instantly understood what Luzi was frowning about.
Because Vivian had subconsciously overlooked one point.
The people on the Thousand Islands…How did they know that they were shipwrecked? Even the ” Serpent ” knew about it?
” Wait, Miss Luzi, don’t tell me you didn’t…” Vivian finally reacted and looked at the administrative officer next to her with a surprised expression.
” When we were in the Abyssal Sea, we couldn’t send any messages through any means of communication. After we came out of the Abyssal Sea safely, I only sent messages to Lady Risa through magic.
“Could it be Lady Risa…No, Risa wouldn’t take the initiative to spread the news so soon. Moreover, judging from the reaction of the people, it was more of a celebration than a welcome. Instead…Shocked?”
All these phenomena pointed to one conclusion.
Before they arrived at the Thousand Islands, someone had announced that the Astorokis had encountered a great snake.
As for the purpose, the ” lady ” had also said that it was to use this move against the society and against Sakai Risa, the current master of the family. The sinking of the Astorokis was a huge responsibility, and it was enough to make the person in charge step down.
However, what the enemies in the dark did not expect was that they actually came back alive from the snake.
Under this premise, the current situation of the people watching in surprise was created.
“I was too careless…” Roko clenched her fists, and a rare expression of anger and regret appeared on her face.
When the ” lady ” was destroyed, Roko relaxed and thought that the ” lady ” was the Winter person who hypnotized her and the leader of the enemy’s plan against the Thousand Islands.
But now it seemed like…
Other than the “lady”, there must be another mastermind behind the scenes. It was very likely…He was also an executive officer!
She could not see anything on the deck, and what made Roko’s eyes narrow was that she found many warriors in all directions of the port.
With such a large number, it seemed like they were going to surround the port. It was definitelv not something that the Societv could do. The only person who
could do this was the Great Fu Society, who was in charge of the Thousand Islands Military Organization.
Combined with what the ‘lady’ had said when she was interrogated, one of the pursuers in the Thousand Islands had already fallen and was secretly bribed.
It seemed that the person behind the scenes was very meticulous. It was very likely that after receiving the news of the “lady’s” death, he immediately made a backup plan for the possibility of them coming back alive.
The wolf cubs also noticed this.
Moreover, he discovered something even stranger.
These warriors were just standing on the periphery. They didn’t seem to have any intention of approaching the Astorokis, nor did they have any intention of maintaining law and order or dispersing the crowd.
“Let’s go down first…”
Just as Lu Zi was about to leave, she had no choice but to stop.
A group of people squeezed through the crowd and walked toward the Astorokis.
The leader was a man.
“Yosuke…Sir?”
When they got on the boat from the port, Lu Zi was surprised to see the man in front of her.
Yosuke… Yosuke Sakai?
The little wolf cub squinted his eyes and observed the young man. Suddenly, a sense of familiarity welled up in his heart, because this was the leader of the Thousand Islands Society in the plot of his previous life.
When he first heard about the Bella’s avatar, Lord Risha, the leader of the society, Liao Zixuan felt a little strange. Because in the plot of his previous life, this leader was only the leader of the society.
The Island Master’s concept of the Thousand Islands was equivalent to a mayor, but the society was in charge of the entire country. The difference in status between the two was not small. Liao Zixuan had also thought of an explanation for this at that time. Perhaps he had abdicated. After all, in this life, the timeline was much earlier than that of the players. From the open beta time, it could be seen that they had already arrived at the Thousand Islands before the release of version 1.0.
They all had the surname Sakai, so they were naturally related. Yosuke’s words later proved this point.
“Lord Yosuke, why did you suddenly come…”
“Because my sister, that muddle-headed ghost…Sigh, your eyes were blinded by your desire for profit. It’s also my fault for not discovering and stopping you in time. Now that things have come to this, Lu ‘zi, you don’t have to pretend anymore. The goods that my sister ordered you to smuggle from the Flame
Domain are on this ship, right?”
The young man shook his head and sighed.
On the other hand, Lu Zits face was filled with shock and disbelief.
“You… What are you talking about, Lord Yosuke? Smuggled goods? And Lord Risa…What happened to Lady Risa?”
Roko was very emotional and wanted to ask further, but Sakai Yosuke did not answer. He gestured to the samurai behind him, and the samurai immediately split up and headed towards the cargo hold at the bottom of the cabin. “Lord Yosuke, you…What are you trying to do?”
” We’ll find out if there’s any. Roko, I’m helping the Sakai Clan. Since we’ve made a mistake, we have to admit our mistakes. I believe that Lord Gong Si will also give us a light punishment.”
The goods…
The goods…
Liao Zixuan finally knew where the faint uneasiness that he had always felt as if he had forgotten something came from.
Lady Luzi had imported a batch of goods into the Flame Domain. Liao Zixuan had obtained this information from Zhan Tip during the ” second round ” of
interrogation.
At that time, although he was strange, he did not investigate because his focus was still on Ann.
In the ” third ” cycle, when Zhao Jie mysteriously disappeared, Liao Zixuan sensed that something was wrong with the warehouse and went to investigate. However, he found Ann there and was accidentally picked up by Ann and stopped.
Since then, his focus had been on the snake, and he had forgotten more and more about the goods.
So he was waiting for them here.
Liao Zixuan had to admit that the opponents he encountered in the Flame Domain were all too weak, which made him a little numb. As for the ones on the Thousand Islands… It was obvious that the enemy’s methods and techniques were not on the same level.
It seemed like…
They couldn’t count on the society to deal with the Divine Magi anymore. Now, they couldn’t even protect themselves.
At first, Liao Zixuan thought so.
However, he still underestimated the cruelty and decisiveness of the person behind the scenes.
That was because…
The corners of Sakai Yosuke’s mouth curled up into a faint smile as he looked at his watch, as if he had estimated the time.
Then…
It might be in the next second.
Boom!
A huge explosion sounded like thunder on the ground.
Following that, a sky-high flame burst out from the bottom of the Astorokis.
A blue protective barrier enveloped the Astorokis, protecting the ship and the people on board from the huge explosion. This was the power of the Heart of the Sea.
However, this barrier was only limited to the Astorokis.
Don’t forget, at the port where the ship was docked, there were countless people from the Thousand Islands who had rushed over after hearing the news and were watching the Astorokis..
