Chapter 284 Wanted

Author: Half-wounded but not broken

Muxing City made its fortune by shipping. They have extremely strict management of the port, and the scale is a bit too big.

Even if you have a ferry ticket with a dock number in your hand, it still takes a lot of time. Thanks to Alendra's familiarity with the port, it didn't take much effort.

Standing on the pier, a medium-sized passenger and cargo ship is docked at the berth, and many porters are loading goods onto the ship. The scene is reminiscent of ants moving.

But then again, why does this ship look familiar...

"Mr. Perrenli?"

Someone called him. When Pei Renli turned around, the man said again:

"I'm sorry, I admitted my mistake."

"No, you admitted it right."

Pei Renli pulled off his face as if peeling off a mask, revealing his true face to the captain.

After all, the port is extremely important, and there are many people in the security team. In order not to get into trouble, Pei Renli and the others used illusions to slightly disguise their faces.

No wonder this ship looks familiar. It is the pink Dumbo that Pei Renli rode on two days ago.

The captain was a little confused about what Pei Renli was doing, but before he could ask, Pei Renli asked first:

"Have you ever heard of a dwarf named Larry?"

"Larry? I seem to have heard of it somewhere..."

The captain thought for a while:

"Oh, yes, I have heard of it. When we first entered the port two days ago, an old customer brought him here and asked me to take more care of him when he was at sea."

The captain gestured his height:

"He is a dwarf, with dark blond hair, rosacea and a bit of buck teeth, right?"

Perrenli came back two days ago on the captain's brother's boat. If he waits to come back on this captain's boat, he might be able to meet Larry face to face.

Seeing Pei Renli nod, the captain said again:

"At that time, I felt that something was wrong with that kid, so I said that I could take care of him, but if he wanted to board my ship, he would have to buy a ticket. I didn't dare to take the responsibility of stowaway."

"Then is he here today?"

"No."

The captain shook his head and said:

"We will have to sail when the last batch of goods arrives. Usually it should be here long ago."

It's right to think about it, Larry will definitely not be able to come, after all, the ferry ticket is now in Perenli's hands.

But there was something wrong with the fact that Larry would give up the ticket.

In this era, the management of residents is very strict. It is definitely not as simple as leaving your place of residence and living in another country.

When ordinary people want to go abroad, they first need a proof of residence in their home country, and then use the proof of residence to issue an exit and entry permit, which is similar to applying for a passport.

When you arrive at your destination, the local customs will check your entry and exit permit. If it fails, you will be sent back, or even jailed for it.

Although Muxing City is only an independent city, its rules and regulations are not much different from those of the country. In other words, purchasing a ferry ticket will inevitably require you to apply for a very troublesome entry and exit permit.

By the way, this is one of the reasons why some people still take the adventurer qualification certificate. Only adventurers can travel to other countries at will regardless of customs inspection.

Larry definitely can't apply with his own information. Let's not say whether he can apply. Once he applies, Nethar is likely to discover his whereabouts, and applying for this thing also takes a long time.

He must have gone to great lengths to use other people's information, and he may have asked someone to find connections to get the permission and use it to buy the ferry ticket.

After so much effort, you finally got the ferry ticket, but you just throw it away?

When Perrenli and the others entered the casino, judging from the remaining traces, Larry had left for almost four or five hours. Larry had already left the casino almost in the morning before Perrenli came out of Nethar's manor.

Why do this?

After all, no matter what the reason was, he had just offended the powerful people of Muxing City recently, and he should leave this place as soon as possible, but in the end, he threw away the ticket to leave Muxing City as soon as possible.

No matter how you think about it, it seems a bit unreasonable. At this time, Kaya quietly pulled Perenli's clothes. Seeing Perenli's eyes looking over, she pointed to the notice board on the side of the trestle.

Two people from the security team just posted something on it, and the three of them went over to take a look.

There was actually a wanted poster for Larry.

It didn't say what exactly Larry had done. It only clearly described Larry's appearance and the amount of the reward, and attached a photocopied photo.

When Pei Renli saw this, he couldn't help but press his temples. The situation seemed to be getting more complicated.

The security team did not contact Larry at first, because Nethar wanted to handle the matter on his own, so he did not inform the security team at all.

But now, the security team actually posted a reward for Larry, which shows that the security team, or the big boss behind the control of the security team, has also become interested in this dwarf.

A small commoner has now attracted the pursuit of various forces in Muxing City. I don't know whether to be proud or to sigh about misfortune.

Pei Renli suddenly felt that Nethar was treating him as bait, right?

The more he traces Larry's whereabouts, the more attention he will attract from other forces. Could it be that they are all planning to catch Nethar's pigtail?

No way, right?

Will such a straight bait really catch the bait?

"Mr. Perrenli, it's time for us to leave."

Alindra secretly reminded Perrenli in her ear because she saw several members of the security team checking the berths one by one with something similar to a staff.

That thing is used to interfere with illusions. Low-level illusions will be seen through, and the disguises of Pei Renli and the others can also be easily exposed.

It seems that the security team knew that Larry was an illusionist, so they used targeted methods.

It's possible that Larry also had friends in the security team, so Larry, who got the news in advance, gave up taking the water route.

But the question seems to be coming back again, where did Larry go?

If you want to leave Star City, the fastest way is to take the water route. Especially since Larry seems to want to go to the Republic of Tula, taking the water route is the first choice.

Because the Republic of Tula is on the west side of the Sea of ​​Trees, and Muxing City is on the east side of the Sea of ​​Trees, crossing the Sea of ​​Trees by land is a recipe for death, while only taking the waterway is safe and fast.

If he takes the land route, he needs to go all the way north, pass through Naspar and the High Mountains, then cross the river countries, reach outside the basin, and make a big circle to reach the Republic of Tula.

Not to mention how much time this journey will take, since he needs to pass through many countries, just applying for an entry and exit permit is enough to give him a headache.

Will he choose this path?

Or should I say...

"If we don't leave, we will be caught by the security team!"

Seeing the security team getting closer and closer, Kaya panicked a little.

For this well-behaved girl, what happened today was somewhat out of the ordinary. If she had committed a crime, she would be the easiest criminal to catch. After all, one look at her expression would reveal everything.

Alindra didn't panic. After all, what they did was just disturbing the public order at most, and they were not qualified to be on the wanted list. Even if they were caught, all they had to do was show Nethar's coat of arms. The security team would not do it because of this.

Take the little things seriously.

Pei Renli didn't panic because he knew that the more panic he had at this time, the more suspicious he would be, so he still asked the captain in a calm tone:

"Mr. Captain, is the cargo you are transporting now also going to the Republic of Tula?"

"If anyone else asked me, I definitely wouldn't tell you, but now that Mr. Perrenli has spoken..."

The captain came closer and whispered:

"Yes, this batch of goods was sent by an old customer. They are all agricultural products, such as cheese, dried mushrooms, garlic, etc."

"You just mentioned that Larry was also introduced by someone. Who is that person?"

"This is also the first time I've met him. I don't know his name. But this batch of goods is from a farm outside the city. He should belong to them."

The captain often cooperates with a farm outside the city, but this time the person sent to deliver the goods was the first time...

Is it Zhang Guanli Dai? That person was not from the farm outside the city, but intercepted the goods halfway so that Larry could use the merchant ship?

Thinking about it carefully, this seems unlikely.

After all, the distance was too close, and intercepting the shipment without permission would be too easy to expose. Moreover, two days had passed since Larry bought the ticket, which was enough time for the farm and the captain to discover that something was wrong.

So that guy must be from the farm outside the city, but he usually doesn’t come here to contact the captain, but this time he had to come voluntarily because of Larry’s matter. Because of this, the captain said it was the first time he met him.

to that person.

"Did that guy do something?"

The captain also saw the wanted notice, and Pei Renli and others used illusions to disguise themselves and come to find out the information about this person, which made everyone murmur in their hearts.

"Don't worry, when the guards ask questions, tell them everything you know."

After leaving these words, Pei Renli said hello, just like turning around and leaving after two people chatting. It was obvious that the people from the security team had already reached a super close range of about 10 meters away from them, and Pei Renli did not even notice at all.

No need to panic.

His calmness did not attract the attention of the security team. Except for Kaya's legs shaking a little, they merged into the crowd easily.

After noticing that she was out of danger of being discovered, Kaya quietly breathed a sigh of relief. For her, this was more stressful than slashing someone with a knife.

Alindra looked at Pei Renli, who had been thinking about something:

"Mr. Perrenli, do you have an idea in mind?"

"Well, I have an idea. Let's go out of the city to the farm outside the city. Don't take the carriage and go on foot."

Larry gave up the sea route to escape, but taking the land route was not only too troublesome, but also unrealistic.

This shows that he is very likely to still stay in Muxing City and its surrounding areas. If a person wants to live alone, it is definitely not possible to just find a deserted mountain. Let’s not talk about the food problem. Just being harassed by monsters at night will

Enough to drink a pot.

Therefore, Pei Renli felt that this grandson must be hiding in a place where there are few people and where he can monitor the movements of the city. He is probably planning to avoid the limelight. When the limelight is over and no one pays attention to him, he will leave by boat.

.

Considering the information provided by the captain, the most suitable place for this place is the farm outside the city...
