Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage
Chapter 88 Dealing with Smugglers
Captain Belsara randomly assigned a dozen elf sailors to set sail on the captured smuggling ship, and arrived at the port of Aarhus in the Principality of Wende along with the Royal Oak sailing battleship.
Both the elves and the Church of Dragon God have offices here. The former is to serve the elves who come to the orc frontline to "experience", and the latter is because fighting the orcs is a matter for all churches and kingdoms in the mainland, and they must have an attitude.
The captured pirates, seized ships and smuggled goods can be handed over directly to the person in charge here. There is no need for the two masters to waste more time to find out the instigators. Therefore, they decided to rest for two days and continue their voyage back. .
In other words, within these two days, all the seized items were sold.
Although all three parties participated in intercepting the smuggling ship and smuggling the goods, the elves were the main contributors, so they took the lion's share, followed by the Church of the Dragon God, and Christine obtained all five cat girls.
The harvest from the attack on the orc tribe should have originally gone to the elves, but after all, Master Keigo Red's stay on the battleship gave them no worries, so the Dragon God Church received 10% of the harvest. Kristen went along anyway, and the two cat girls she rescued were hers.
For the elves, the income was already worth the cost of the Royal Oak sailing battleship. And because they killed nearly a thousand orcs, everyone who participated in the battle would be rewarded after they returned.
Although the Dragon God Church's trip to Master Keigo Red was in vain, it at least confirmed the matter of the ruins laboratory, and also gained additional benefits from intercepting the smuggling ship and raiding the orc tribe. It was the party with the highest gain.
As for Christine, throwing the hot potato to the elves and the Dragon God Church has achieved its goal.
.
The Principality of Bihe, the port city of Rotterdam, the Great Temple of the God of Order.
"Your Majesty, a magical message from the Port of Aarhus in the Principality of Wende." A priest immediately presented a piece of parchment after being allowed in.
After the bishop took it, he quickly browsed it. This was another letter from the Grand Temple of the God of Order in the Principality of Wende. A person who smuggled stolen goods to the orcs revealed a merchant who sold stolen goods. Not surprisingly, the other party was the Chamber of Commerce of the Principality of Bihe.
This is also normal. With Roskilde as the dividing line, those in the west are from the Principality of Wende and the Principality of Benedictine, and those in the south are from the Kingdom of the Rhine and the Kingdom of Piast. After all, smugglers will only choose the shortest route. It is impossible to choose the far route instead of the near one.
The bishop handed the parchment to the priest and said: "Notify the city hall and ask them to send someone to assist, and then let the guardian knight arrest the person."
"As ordered."
After the priest retired, he made arrangements very skillfully. The city lord who received the report from the subordinates briefly understood the situation and then gave the order to the city guards. Everyone had experience in catching too many people.
After receiving the order, the commander of the city guard immediately led his people to the Great Temple of the God of Order, and after meeting with the Guardian Knights, they went to arrest the suspect.
The Maritime Street is a wide and straight avenue with hundreds of large and small businesses on both sides. It and the Cross Street with various pubs and hotels on both sides are called the two most prosperous streets in the Port City of Rotterdam.
It is said here that as long as you have gold coins, you can buy anything. Even a humble shop may have a monopoly on the sale of a certain product in the principality.
When the people on this street saw the arrival of the city guards and the guardian knights of the Church of the God of Order, they knew that someone who was conducting smuggling transactions with the orcs must have been discovered. This is not surprising. There are several cases every year. The profits from smuggling are so great that people can risk beheading them.
The team stopped in front of a chamber of commerce called "Seabird and Harpoon". Two knights and soldiers rushed in directly. The servant who was responsible for welcoming guests nearby was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.
It is impossible for ordinary people in the Chamber of Commerce to know about smuggling and selling stolen goods. They can just ask the soldiers to control it. They must catch the person in charge as soon as possible.
clang!
The Guardian Knight kicked open the door of the Chamber of Commerce leader's room, but watched as the other party stabbed a dagger into his heart.
"Priest!"
The Guardian Knight shouted as he rushed over. The white light in his hand flashed and a second-level divine spell "Cure Moderate Injury" was cast, without causing the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce to die on the spot.
Immediately, a seventh-level priest walked in quickly, quickly pulled out the dagger from the person in charge of the chamber of commerce, and then cast a fourth-level magic "Cure Fatal Wounds". The wound healed visibly, and the person was immediately rescued. alive. Then a third-level magic "clear blood congestion" was used, and the blood stains that flowed into the body cavity were cleaned up.
At the tenth level, the Guardian Knight can transfer to a paladin and gain the ability to cast magical spells below the third level. He and a seventh-level priest were sent here to prevent the suspect from committing suicide. Even if they are not saved, as long as the death time is not long, the seventh-level priest can still use the third-level magic "Conversation with the Dead" to ask something.
This is based on experience in arresting people. You can die if you want, but you must first confess before you die.
For the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, he had stabbed his heart with a dagger and still did not die, so he vented his anger and confessed truthfully when interrogated again.
The person in charge of the chamber of commerce only told a few people who sold stolen goods with him, and there were no nobles among them. This is normal. Not all smuggling groups have nobles involved behind them. After all, there are not many nobles who dare to risk killing the entire clan to make money. The bold ones have long been burned to death.
As one of the largest ports on the continent, the Principality of Benedictine could easily find a ship that could sail to the Orc continent and sailors willing to sacrifice their lives as long as they had a good supply of goods and channels for selling stolen goods to the Orcs. It is impossible to know where all ships are heading after they go to sea. Except for the people on the ship, it is impossible for others to know. This is one of the reasons for repeated prohibitions.
The next thing will be much simpler, just continue arresting people.
Finally, there was a joint interrogation by the City Guards and the Church of the God of Order. All participants and their immediate family members were taken to the port square and burned to death as a warning. Non-immediate family members were demoted to slaves. Those unknowing servants of the Chamber of Commerce can be released on the spot. With magic, they will not let a bad person go or wrongly accuse a good person.
Because this was a smuggler jointly discovered by the Elves and the Church of the Dragon God, the Church of the God of Order and the City Hall were only responsible for arresting and disposing of it, so the first two got 80% of the illegal gains seized, and the latter two each got 10%.
However, because smuggling with orcs is a huge profit, even just 10% is worth nearly 10,000 gold coins. This is why the major churches crack down on smugglers so hard.
