Chapter 2065: Dragon Egg Fossil

Since someone could help take care of the cat, Xia De didn't have to think about going home as soon as possible, so the evening action had much less urgency.

As usual, he crossed the Dragon's Nest and then entered the city from St. George's Stone Bridge. When he arrived at the pier area in the south of the city, the brilliant sunset had already illuminated the docked ships and pier trestles from the sea. The sparkling light made the night view of the pier even more stunning, while the urban area looked much darker than the pier area because of the clouds that had been shrouded all year round.

The ship from the New World carrying illegal herbs had arrived in the Moon Bay waters, but had not yet entered the port. As for Freeman Hawthorne and his party, they were waiting for the ship to dock in a tavern in the pier area.

Xia De, who wanted to be more cautious, did not move to "ask" for information in the tavern, but turned into a swarm of butterflies and flew close to the sea surface, and then flew into the cargo ship.

Lei Qianya could use grain to cover up those special alloys, and Freeman Hawthorne could naturally use grain to cover up herbs. After boarding the ship, Xia De easily avoided the sailors who were busy because the ship was entering the port, entered the bottom cargo hold and checked it slightly, and knew he hadn't found the wrong ship.

And besides the grain used as a cover and the illegal herbs that were the real cargo, Xia De also unexpectedly found a well-hidden safe in the grain pile in the bottom cargo hold, and found some strange stones in the safe. After identification, he knew that it was a fossil of some kind of egg. After touching it, he confirmed that it had completely turned into stone and did not have any elemental reaction:

"What is this... Echo of the past."

He tried two or three times, but couldn't hear the voice. He frowned and thought for a while. This ship's departure from the New World was not within 48 hours. Obviously, the person who put these fossils here did not come back to check and talk to himself about his purpose later:

"The things to ask in a while have become more."

What needs to be done next is to wait. During this period, the customs and port authority sent people to board the ship to confirm the cargo carried by the docked ship, but they did not find the catty of this ship.

So, as Xia De expected, the ship docked safely. Then he waited for a long time before Freeman Hawthorne finally led people to board the ship.

Xia De could hear the sound above in the lowest cabin. He was very patient, knowing that the other party would definitely come down. During the waiting period, he even thought about whether he should contact Xilisi and learn some simple curse techniques that could affect memory.

By the time it was close to seven o'clock in the evening, the footsteps finally reached this deepest cabin. Xia De, who had been waiting for a long time, moved his eyes away from the Luo De Pai in his hand, put away the deck and held his breath to wait, and the sound outside the door also cooperated with Xia De:

"You don't have to follow me, I'll check it myself."

This is Freeman Hawthorne's voice.

The cabin door was opened, and the man who had been asked questions by Xia De at the Parsifal Club walked in alone. Unlike last time, this time he was wearing clothes.

But Xia De was not happy because he finally waited for someone, but frowned. He didn't walk out from behind the mountain of grain bags, because he clearly saw an invisible figure entering here with Freeman Hawthorne.

This is undoubtedly the means of a Ringed Shushi, and the blurry figure looks a bit familiar.

Anyway, he had waited so long, Xia De didn't care about waiting a little longer. The invisible six-ring Shushi followed Freeman Hawthorne, watching him check the herbs hidden under the grain, and watching him find the safe and check the three eggshell fossils inside with a serious face.

After the three eggshell fossils appeared, the invisible figure put his hand on Hawthorne's shoulder. While the latter was startled, an invisible rope made of wind tied him up. The wind covered Hawthorne's shouting, and the invisible man revealed his appearance only after kicking Hawthorne down.

He looked very young, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. His right hand held an invisible wind rope that twisted the air, and his left hand reached behind his back as if to hold the sword hilt, but there was nothing behind his back. The six-ring man, whose appearance could even be said to be quite handsome, didn't rush to deal with Hawthorne after appearing, but frowned and looked around:

"Come out, I found you."

"Liar."

Xia De thought in his heart, standing there without moving, but the young man's eyes looked directly at the direction where he was:

"The flow of the wind is not right. In this closed space, as long as you don't stop breathing completely, even if the sound disappears completely, I can find you by sensing the wind. Come out, I know you are there."

It seems it's not a lie now. Although Xia De didn't expect to be discovered, he still walked out:

"Sir, this is also my goal."

He pointed to Hawthorne lying on the ground unable to make a sound:

"And unfortunately, I came first."

The man who reached behind his back shook his head:

"I admit that you might have arrived at the cabin first, but I have been following him since two o'clock in the afternoon, starting from the Parsifal Club. I came first."

"More patient than me."

Xia De praised, he was a little impatient after waiting for an hour:

"Since that's the case, let's follow the rules."

"Okay, follow the rules."

A golden moonlight longsword was pulled out from the void and stabbed forward. The left hand of the six-ring Shushi, who was holding the air above his shoulder, also pulled out an invisible sword, blocking Xia De's sword with the sword body just right.

With a "dang" sound, sparks splashed, and yellow light chips flew. At the moment of hitting the other party's sword body, the wind layer wrapped around the invisible sword body twisted, which also allowed Xia De to judge the length and width of the weapon. This opponent is not the nine-ring Shushi of the 【Light-Worshipping Seminar】 who shot at Xia De from the air in the Whispering Hills a few days ago, but Xia De had already determined who he was.

Then the two retracted their swords and slashed forward diagonally at almost the same time. The moonlight longsword and the invisible sword collided again, and cracks appeared instantly on the orange-yellow sword body engraved with ancient runes, but it did not break because of this.

The two lowered their center of gravity forward at the same time, trying to use the longsword in their hands to suppress the other party's strength.

"Moonlight Greatsword. A few months ago, I met a good hand who is good at this strange technique in Tobesk in the North. His sword is the moonlight of the red moon, which is more painful than your sword."

The six-ring Shushi said.

"Sage-level relic 【Sword of the Wind King】, a longsword blessed by ancient wind elemental giants and old gods who control the power of the four elements. It is divided into tangible form and intangible form, and different forms have different characteristics. I didn't expect to see this kind of weapon in Moon Bay City."

Xia De also said. The man in front of him was one of the attackers encountered halfway when transporting the relic 【Remains of the Nameless】 suppressed by the Angel-level relic during the last group mission (Chapter 1653). He used a piece of refined gold ore to exchange for the opportunity to leave Xia De's hands at that time. That piece of refined gold ore was later borrowed by Megan and exchanged for information from the mineralogist's oil painting on the central island of Green Lake, now known as "Paradise Island".

As for why Xia De still clearly remembers this matter, it is because the 【Sword of the Wind King】 can only be held by a righteous person with chivalry. He was very curious at the time that the six-ring Shushi in front of him was robbing on the road, so how could he be called "righteous", so he naturally had a deep impression of this matter.

After a simple conversation, Xia De pushed forward, pushed the six-ring Shushi on the opposite side away, then raised his foot and kicked forward, kicking the man holding the 【Sword of the Wind King】 into the small mountain piled up by grain bags not far away.

The impact raised a cloud of dust, but Xia De didn't use his full strength, and because of the cushioning of those grain bags, the other party was not seriously injured.

"Such strong power."

The young man climbed up holding the ground and re-inserted the invisible longsword in his hand into the scabbard behind his back. Xia De also dispersed the yellow moonlight longsword in his hand and glanced at Freeman Hawthorne who was still struggling on the ground:

"Do you want to continue fighting?"

"No, I can't beat you, and we don't want to sink this ship and attract the church."

The six-ring Shushi said with his head down:

"And I should have no conflict with you. Freeman Hawthorne is not a good person. No matter what you want to do to him, I think what you do is at least not completely bad."

It seems that his moral bottom line and means of doing things are very flexible.

"Then what are you doing here looking for Freeman Hawthorne?"

Xia De asked, then added:

"I won, I think I have the qualification to know this."

The latter hesitated for a while:

"Hawthorne's fleet smuggled three contraband items from the New World to the local area. I received news and wanted to send them back to the New World. These things will definitely cause trouble in the hands of ordinary people. If there is a Ringed Shushi behind him, the trouble caused will be even greater."

Xia De looked at the egg-shaped fossils:

"What fossil is this? Dragon egg?"

"Yes, I'm not sure about the specific age and dragon breed, but at least the shape is kept very complete. I think you shouldn't be here for these eggs. I didn't know the ship's information, so I followed him for an afternoon. You arrived on the ship in advance. If you were here for these eggs, you would have taken them away long ago."

Xia De frowned slightly:

"Although you are not wrong, your own introduction has some problems. What organization do you belong to?"

The latter naturally didn't want to say, but seeing Xia De looking at him, and he obviously couldn't beat Xia De, he had to speak:

"This is not a secret. I am not a bad person. I belong to the 【Pioneer Legion】... The name more familiar to Ringed Shushi in the Old World is: 【New World Mutual Aid Association】."

"Oh?"

Xia De was a little surprised, but then felt that this was actually normal.

The "New World Mutual Aid Association" is an organization composed of Ringed Shushi who go to the New World. The original purpose of this organization was to unite Ringed Shushi who go to the New World, but later the concept changed to "keep the dangerous items belonging to the New World in the New World".

In other words, it is to prevent those high-risk relics and materials from flowing into the densely populated Old World through various channels. Although many people think that this is the Ringed Shushi of the New World preventing the Ringed Shushi of the Old World from sharing their harvest in the New World, at least the church did not identify the "New World Mutual Aid Association" as an illegal organization.

This is partly because the 【New World Mutual Aid Association】 is not very radical, and partly because the structure of this organization is quite loose. Anyone can join with a recommendation, and anyone can quit at any time. Whether this can really be called a "Ringed Shushi organization" is not certain, but since it can accept tasks, the young six-ring Shushi in front of Xia De must be a core member of the 【New World Mutual Aid Association】. ===== CHAPTER 2066 =====
