Chapter 185: Heading to Gannaer
Because he was coming to Tana City, Ganseer had some understanding of it. That writer named Ye had been quite famous in the Royal Capital recently; the book he wrote was a bestseller, even though it had absolutely no support from Transcendental Power.
However, this made the common people very satisfied, though Ganseer had no interest in that book at all.
"They shouldn't be influenced by Transcendental Power, otherwise it wouldn't be left unmentioned in literary works," Ganseer waved his hand. "It's normal for Tana City to have a few people from Gannaer. Since they dare to speak the language of that place directly in Tana City, it means they are safe."
Conversely, those who looked no different from the people of Tana City were the ones worth being vigilant about.
"But... do we really not need to find out more?" the subordinate couldn't help but ask, though he lowered his head after seeing Ganseer's expression.
In fact, they really did intend to get an autograph because they had seen Ye Laoshi.
Even without the influence of Transcendental Power, that book was enough to be called good.
Moreover, they had purchased some other books, all of which were the latest hits translated by Ye Laoshi's disciples. They had already started hitting the market, just not as explosive as The Count of Monte Cristo yet.
Glancing at his subordinates, Ganseer narrowed his eyes. "You two get ready; we'll go to Gannaer to take a look tomorrow."
"To, tomorrow?" the two subordinates said in surprise. "We don't know anything about Gannaer yet..."
"What else is there to know? You won't be able to dig up any news in Tana City; we can only be clear once we go to Gannaer." As a spy who knew something about Gannaer, Ganseer didn't want to wait around to catch the other side's people.
Those death squads sent over could just be handed to the people of the War Church for interrogation.
Upon receiving the mission, Xin Zhi Xiang Wang rushed to the forum to report it immediately. He was among the first batch of people to apply to go to the Port City, and within a week, he had purchased a sailboat there and become a Captain.
Every time he applied to go to the Port City, he would also attach an application to take a trip to Gannaer, but it had never been approved before; only this time did he have the opportunity to head to Gannaer.
However, this time he also needed to bring along a few NPCs. It was said that the NPC had the same surname as Evans.
Luolita: It's hard to say, you might be unlocking a new sequence. I remember the Awakened in Evans' family are very different and extremely skilled at combat.
Zhuguli to Luolita: Could there be anything more suitable for combat than the War Sequence?
Luolita: It's not that I'm saying anything, but no matter how powerful the War Church is, it still has to rely on the Wisdom Church's Formation. I still suggest Xin Zhi Xiang Wang pay attention to safety; don't get a batch of cargo hijacked after arriving there.
Feng Buxi: I also think it's very dangerous. You're going through the river channels of Tana City, so you won't be able to avoid being inspected. And there are no Gannaer ships coming to Tana City right now; our Arrow Towers are too conspicuous.
Da Yuan Zhong: Personally, I feel you'll have a one-way trip, which is why the officials have never approved players to go explore Gannaer.
Chen Zhi watched the discussion on the forum while listening to the report Evans had come to give in person, falling into deep thought.
"I'm not worried about these people losing money, nor am I worried about them dying in Gannaer, but I need to understand the situation in Gannaer. If your brother goes personally, is there any channel to transmit news back? After all, there are quite a few people in Gannaer looking for me, hehehehe." Chen Zhi's voice sounded hair-raising.
If it weren't for the fact that Evans' brother was going personally, he wouldn't want to provoke those Gannaer people.
Who knows if those Gannaer people might discover some clues from the players' corpses?
"He possesses a messenger that can roam the Spirit Realm," Evans weighed his words. "However, whether his messenger can be used in the realm of the God of Death is a question."
"If we could provide him with some help, what would he do?" Chen Zhi continued to ask.
"He would turn a blind eye to Tana City. After all, Tana City itself isn't an important location. As long as no major problems arise, even if there is... an Evil God descending, he won't pay too much attention to it." Evans lowered his head, humbly hanging his hands in front of him. "I mean, if he is willing to cooperate, even if the number of new Believers increases, it won't cause the people in the Royal Capital to react to any problems."
He seemed to be reminding Chen Zhi how sensitive the identities of those new Believers were.
Indeed, where would there be so many Xiahui People? That was just a small nation; even with multiple ethnicities, there would definitely be intersections.
And the players had nothing to do with the real Xiahui People; they were just using the fact that the nation was far away to deceive the people around them.
"I understand," Chen Zhi replied indifferently. "If the new Believers have news, I will notify you in time. From now on, do not approve any more Believers to go to Gannaer; we need to concentrate everyone in the Port City."
Having devoured those two beads, Chen Zhi's field of vision had increased a bit; he could now monitor the entire Port City.
It was just that for Gannaer, he didn't have the strength to monitor it yet because the distance was truly too far, and that place was indeed the realm of the God of Death; his vision expanded automatically in the direction of the Port City.
Hearing the instructions of Calamity, Evans breathed a sigh of relief; he had been worried that this deity would reprimand him.
The next day, Ganseer arrived at the port as promised and saw the player named Xin Zhi Xiang Wang.
This player was followed by a dozen or so other players.
"Mr. Ganseer, these are my crew members. The ship is basically filled with my cargo, you..."
"I hope you treat me as just one of the people on the ship and don't give me special treatment. Once we reach Gannaer, you must listen to me and don't get off the ship easily," Ganseer said very cautiously. "Also, once we reach Gannaer, you call me John."
"O... okay." The players had already discussed it on the forum; these people should be spies sent to Gannaer.
But they were too straightforward; they didn't even know how to disguise themselves.
"Logically speaking, these are trained NPCs. Would they really tell us their identities?"
"Why do I feel they are being too careless? If we were problematic people, wouldn't that expose their identities?"
"Maybe they trust Evans."
Several players chattered away in discussion, completely disregarding the feelings of the NPCs.
Ganseer couldn't understand the language they were speaking at all. He frowned, suddenly feeling a bit strange.
On one hand, his younger brother had agreed too rashly. With his temperament, if it weren't for his duty, he wouldn't have agreed so easily; at the very least, he would have let that guy named Andrew come to talk to him.
This was over a thousand Xide worth of cargo. He thought these people would try to shirk it, but he didn't expect them to be so proactive.
It seems his younger brother is also a person with secrets.
He had already roughly guessed what the problem was with his brother, so he didn't think much of those Xiahui People.
The ship set sail. Xin Zhi Xiang Wang, who could already be considered skilled, held the rudder in his hands, feeling incredibly excited.
He was among the first batch of players to come to this game and was also a fan of Chen Ai. Although he initially held the attitude of just participating for fun, he was now completely hooked.
He had stayed in the War Church, worked in the bar street, and had even opened his own shop and farmed land.
Now that he had become a Captain, he could be considered to have quite a few assets in the game.
This batch of cargo wasn't much, and the ship wasn't something he couldn't afford to lose; the key was that this mission finally gave him a sense of participation.
On the forum, he was usually an inconspicuous existence; even if he posted guides, they weren't as attractive as those posted by the big shots.
He didn't expect that this time his post would actually become a hot thread on the forum, with many people coming to support him.
Even the crew members he recruited came for free, just to see the scenery of Gannaer.
Evans approved them quite readily; in short, the people he had submitted were all approved by Evans in just ten minutes.
Finally, he could go and take a look at the new map.
"Boss, are they really reliable?" These subordinates were riding such a shaky Ship for the first time, and each of them was still feeling lingering fear.
Xin Zhi Xiang Wang was indeed not a good Captain; after all, he was also a novice, and when it came to sailing, he was still at a very green stage.
It was just that he didn't dare to recruit a Captain to help, and even if he did, no one was willing to go to Gannaer.
So he could only sail the Ship himself.
"Don't worry about that. I confirmed it before; the river channels of Gannaer also lead to Bugalun and the Wild Grasslands. Even if we pass through Tana City with this Ship, we won't necessarily be suspected. Moreover, as long as they don't disembark, escaping is not a problem. Those Gannaer people don't like Ships because they believe Ships are paths to the ghost Divine Kingdom, so Gannaer itself has no Ships, only a port."
This was information the players hadn't understood before. "I thought I would need to explain to these Xiahui People. No wonder the War Church and the Wealth Church both feel that the Xiahui People are easy to get along with and easy to utilize; these people won't even ask you for the reason, they will just do as you arrange, and they aren't even afraid of death."
So the problems with these people were even greater. Ganseer did not continue speaking. "At this speed, we only need a day and a half to reach Gannaer."
"I am already prepared; they won't discover any problems."
Chen Zhi was not worried about those players; he had an underground intelligence network, which was the players' forum.
No longer caring about those players heading to Gannaer, Chen Zhi focused his gaze on Port City.
If he couldn't stay in Tana City, his target was Port City. It was very suitable for an Evil God like him to hide. On one hand, like Tana City, it possessed a network of Sewers, and they were in an abandoned state; on the other hand, it was easier to escape from here.
He could even run directly into the water, it was just that those mutated marine creatures inside were a bit terrifying, so Chen Zhi felt it was necessary to observe carefully.
After all, he didn't know if he couldn't beat those guys.
Because the goods had been selling well recently, most nobles chose the players' Ships to head to Port City to do business.
Among the players, there were also a few who followed those nobles out to sea.
Chimu was one of them. Seeing that someone on the forum had gone to Gannaer, he somewhat regretted coming out to sea.
Because it was truly too boring on the sea.
Originally, he was going to be with Fuling to do a clothing export business in Port City.
But because production capacity couldn't keep up for the time being, the number of times Fuling went to Port City was decreasing.
The orders for these clothes weren't that high either; after all, even if the nobles were interested in clothes made by commoners, it was impossible to open up the market in a short time.
So Chimu was honorably unemployed.
As a player who couldn't stay idle, he chose to follow the nobles out to sea. This time, he was following the Ship of Viscount Philip, preparing to head to Miracle City Rielna.
Riding a Cement Ship, it would take a week to arrive, and a round trip would take two weeks.
However, one couldn't take a Train to this place, because it was originally a country by the sea, and it didn't belong to the Federal.
This place belonged to the Storm Empire, Marcello's territory, and it was also the most prosperous city in the Marcello Empire, even more prosperous than their royal capital.
"Our luck is good; we are about to arrive at Rielna, and we haven't encountered any pirates." First Mate Savas Alpha brought over two glasses of Wine. "Do you want some? The closer we get to Rielna, the hotter it gets; I already can't stand it."
"Thanks, I suggest you'd better not say things like that. If we really encounter pirates, you might not be able to laugh." This guy named Savas was setting flags almost every day.
However, fortunately, this guy's flags hadn't come true yet.
He had already boasted about these things, and even the Captain allowed his crow's mouth, because what he said had never been accurate.
Even if it was a bad thing, there would never be a time when it was accurate.
"Rest assured, I know my mouth too well. This is a safe shipping lane; I've traveled it quite a few times before." Savas drank two gulps of Wine. "It's you, you probably haven't been to Rielna yet."
"Many people have already told me about the prosperity of Rielna." Chimu spread his hands. "It's a pity, no one can really go into those places where nobles consume to see; the things you boast about are Wine, Wine, and more Wine."
"Wrong, there are also women." Savas laughed loudly. "I once met a nice woman there, but it's a pity, she wasn't willing to come home with me."
"You still have a home?" This was the first time Chimu had heard Savas say this.
"I mean, a home located in Port City. She would rather be a prostitute there than live a stable life with me, that bitch." Savas said indignantly. "It's all my fault; I said at the time that I hoped she could become my wife. I was already enjoying the days where she could be with me and we would have two children."
"You..." After understanding his reverse-jinxing ability, Chimu said with some sympathy, "Maybe if one day you look at some woman and find her unpleasant, the other party will fall in love with you."
"You really know how to joke, but I like it. If there really were such a stupid woman, I wouldn't..." Before he could finish, Chimu covered his mouth.
"I think there are some things you don't need to say." Chimu advised sincerely.
