Anyway, he used this document to decode the secret message from the Intelligence Department 6 on the export contract of the Blackwater Winery Sales Company.
The export contract saw by Noland Lee using “Mind View” and the heart control spider.
The secret code deciphered with the Liquor Quotation List is an urgent secret message issued by the local Blackwater Winery Company in Union City, which requires the Tatis Empire’s Military Intelligence Department 6 to deal with it urgently.
In this urgent secret message, the local Intelligence Department 6 members explicitly mentioned requesting the transportation of a large number of life elixirs and alchemy materials. The reason is that the Aberration Den in the Savage Stone Wasteland has been destroyed.
This urgent secret message was sent to the Tatis Empire through the emergency channel controlled by Intelligence Department 6, covering the first export contract that arrived with the cargo ship in the Empire. This first export contract is also a secret message.
It was precisely because the urgent secret message covered the information on the original secret message that the Intelligence Department 6 made adjustments to the cargo on the cargo ship, causing the ship to stay in the Tatis Empire for four days.
Noland Lee knew these contents clearly, but it was difficult to explain to Derek Davis.
He simply kept his mouth shut and only mentioned the term “80% certainty” to attract Derek Davis and the Chamber of Commerce Supervisor to join.
A full ship of Life Elixirs should be enough to get the Golden Commerce Guild to take action.
Noland Lee patiently waited, thinking through every detail of the plan.
While investigating the Blackwater Winery, he also checked the situation of the Razor Gang. After resolving the matter at sea, he would help Fars Scott retrieve the Alchemical Cube.
Half an hour later, Derek asked Cindy to convey a message, scheduling for Noland Lee to set out in two hours. The meeting point was still the backyard garden of the Iron Thorn Shield.
Derek particularly reminded Noland that he didn’t need to prepare clothes and diving equipment for the actions at sea as he would handle everything.
Noland Lee was happy to travel light and arrived at the Iron Thorn Shield’s backyard garden on time.
It was 8 PM after nightfall, and the streets were dim and sparsely populated.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
After Noland Lee arrived, Derek waved and drove four-wheeled motorcycles into the underground tunnel, bypassing the city walls underground, and arrived on the grassland outside Union City.
The group traveled overnight, chasing the stars and the moon.
As Derek drove, he said,
“Miss Esme Smith has agreed to help, Ray Lee. She has brought over an exploration ship to help, which explores the fog threshold in the nearshore area. This type of ship will wander in the nearshore area, testing the sailing speed of every sea area that emits fog, and reporting to the port and shipping companies. Miss Esme Smith made an agreement with me that she would take the ship to the cave on the east side and wait for us there.”
“It seems that you have arranged everything well,” Noland Lee responded.
Derek nodded and said,
“That’s right. To avoid information leaks, we’ve made foolproof preparations. Miss Esme Smith has a few teams of Alchemists that carry out sea exploration missions all year round. They face not only bad weather and strange fog at sea but also sea beasts, corrupted sea people, and so on. There is one such team on the exploration ship awaiting us. Unless there is some extraordinary figure on the cargo ship, we should be able to handle it.”
Noland Lee’s mouth twitched slightly as he felt a flag had been added to himself and the others.
However, Derek was right. If there were Third or Fourth Rank “Imperial Fist” on the ship, the situation would be tricky.
At that time, Noland Lee might have to rely on Denise Green’s power to quickly land and leave the scene.
Before embarking, Noland Lee and Denise Green agreed.
She would use the “Illusionary Body Technique” and the magic broom to secretly enter the territory of the Empire across the border line from the sea that can see the land.
The cargo ship would maintain a distance of about 70 kilometers from the land according to the route. This is within Denise Green’s teleportation range, and Noland Lee can calmly leave the scene.
As for the cargo ship deviating from its route and leaving the nearshore area, entering the open sea, or even the deep sea, there is no need to worry. That situation won’t happen.
The ship’s structure does not support it entering such dangerous areas.
The nautical chart on the ship also does not support deviation from the route.
Due to the lack of long-distance real-time communication means, the Golden Commerce Guild uses nautical charts to restrict each ship’s sailing route.
Where the ship will depart and where it will go are all written in black and white in the application report for sailing. Using this application report, the shipowner received the nautical chart from the Golden Commerce Guild.
The nautical chart in the shipowner’s hand only records the specific situation of one to three routes. Leaving the guidance of the nautical chart and rashly entering other routes will trigger sea fog with a high probability, which is tantamount to courting death.
The Golden Commerce Guild may not have high-tech similar to the “ship positioning system”, but it can still use the routes and the ship schedules to deduce the approximate position of the cargo ship. The action of the exploration ship that sails into the nearshore area to search for the cargo ship is not equivalent to groping in the dark but more like an easy task like cat catching a mouse.
