He wrote 'Holt City' on the itinerary, waited a few seconds, but the door did not close.
This proved that the train did not record this location.
He had no choice but to write 'Lopaz City', the door closed, and the train entered the void.
In the afternoon, the train arrived at the outskirts of Lopaz City. After confirming a direction with the city guards, he rode a motorcycle toward the target city.
…
Holt City, local association, conference room.
Around the long table in the room, local association members were seated, with a human swordsman, more than 40 years old, bearded, and resolute-faced, at the head.
Leather armor and boots, with a longsword hanging at his waist.
It was the local steward, the person in charge of this event.
The steward glanced at the vice-executive and other captains below him and said solemnly, “The mercenary team that took on the assignment yesterday also hasn't returned, and the related assignments have been withdrawn to prevent further disappearances. The city lord has also requested reinforcements from the kingdom, but it will take some time. Does anyone have any ideas?”
The mercenary team that accepted the exploration of the fog yesterday still didn't return.
To avoid further losses, the assignments issued by the association were also withdrawn.
At both sides of the conference table, sat the local vice-executive and a group of captains. One of them said, “Although the ventures into it were not completely fruitless, we can be sure that this fog is indeed being emitted by that ghost ship, and it's not a skill of any professional.”
Another person said, “There's no need to mention what's already confirmed. The famous mercenary group in the city is trapped inside, which is a loss for us too.”
“Steward, I think we should request the headquarters for an item that can either identify directions or counteract the fog.”
“According to the procedure, we should wait for the arrangements from Gold and Silver Island to be over before asking the headquarters for the item.”
“With the speed of the fog spreading, by that time, it might have reached the nearby seas already, and the losses could be even greater.”
There were low murmurs of discussion, some with bad tempers had already turned from a discussion into an argument.
The steward took a deep breath and forcefully slapped the table, asking, “How many days since the message was sent to Gold and Silver Island?”
One of the female captains replied, “Steward, if the fleet proceeded smoothly, the message should have reached Gold and Silver Island just yesterday.”
Just yesterday!
Why so slow!
One of the vice-executives said, “Steward, we could request assistance from stewards of nearby city associations; a bit of support from the vicinity shouldn't be an issue to report afterwards.”
The steward was pondering, just about to speak.
The conference room door was gently knocked; everyone immediately stopped their discussions.
“Come in!” said the assistant.
The door opened a crack; a staff member peeked in and said, “Steward, someone from Gold and Silver Island has arrived, claiming to be a member here to help with the investigation!”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room turned to look.
So soon?
Wasn't it said that the message just reached Gold and Silver Island yesterday!
Was some communication method used, or did someone intercept the message.
“Let him in!”
The door was pushed open, and a figure wearing a hooded cloak, leather armor on the outside and a mage's robe inside walked in.
“Here is the letter that I was sent to help with.”
The incoming figure handed over a letter stamped with the association's seal.
The steward took it and saw it was stamped by the Gold and Silver Island Steward indeed; it was someone from Gold and Silver Island.
After reading the letter, he looked up at the figure again.
A single person came, and from the voice, not very old.
Who did they send over!
“Just yourself?” The local steward's brow furrowed, his tone somewhat dissatisfied.
Such an important matter.
And they only sent one young person.
The person on the other side didn't reply but took off the hood, revealing his original appearance.
The dissatisfied murmurs behind him stopped abruptly; everyone was looking at him.
Black hair, black eyes?
Gold and Silver Island Master?
I requested support, didn't expect that the Jade Sea Flag Bearer would also be summoned.
The local steward looked at him with a mixture of curiosity and scrutiny; indeed, he was the young man most talked about in the surrounding news of the Emerald Sea.
The vice-executives and captains around the conference table also murmured among themselves, curious and surprised.
The local steward put away the assistance letter and said, “I am the steward, Zackley.”
“Wu Heng, Jade Sea Flag Bearer.”
Of course!
Everyone nodded, there's no second person in the Emerald Sea who looked like this.
The request for assistance mentioned needing a steward or a seasoned professional for support.
And Wu Heng, as per external rumors, his level was uncertain.
Only through some minor news and published newspapers, which definitely marked him above level 15 since he was reported to have defeated Prince of Lu'an.
“Wu Heng, you've come earlier than expected,” Zackley's tone became polite.
Such a person, with an unpredictable future, will surely become an elder.
No need to leave a bad impression.
“I used some means to hurry.” Wu Heng said vaguely, then directly asked, “Tell me about the situation here!”
“Sure, please take a seat,” the steward gestured with his hand and then directly stated, “Recently, a fog has appeared over the sea…”
“I already know about the fog, do you have any clues?” Wu Heng interrupted him from starting over.
The steward nodded, his tone solemn, “There is a ship in the fog, and on the ship, there are enemies similar to iron puppets that attack any approaching vessels. As for the internal situation, that's all we know, it's from people who luckily got out. The fog is still expanding, and the mercenaries that went inside last night haven't come out.”
Besides the ship, there are iron puppets.
The association's iron puppets are a second-level reward, corresponding to level 12.
No wonder they needed support from steward-level personnel and above.
“Why are people still being allowed in?” Wu Heng asked.
“We've revoked the assignments.”
Wu Heng pondered for a moment, then continued, “Where's the fog, I didn't see it just now?”
“It appears at night, invisible during the day.”
Truly a ghost ship!
Only visible at night.
The steward continued, “Island Lord Wu Heng, do you have any items that can identify directions? If we just go in rashly, we might also risk being trapped.”
Wu Heng said, “I have a Special Item that can identify directions, you go prepare, and let's enter the fog tonight.”
“Tonight? That's so soon?”
