Chapter 943: 294. Winning on three fronts_3
Pressure descended on Hadley Grant.
If he screwed things up, punishment was inevitable.
But how could he logically bring up “Subsea 723,” as specified on the secret letter, without raising the suspicions of the two rock bone magicians…
Despite his rough exterior, Hadley Grant had a rather delicate heart.
As he wracked his brain for the right words, a spark of inspiration struck him, and he smacked his forehead:
“Oh! That’s right! I remember now!”
Turning to the two men, Hadley Grant said:
“Gentlemen, are you aware of the natural disaster cycle of the Blackfold Sea?”
He gestured towards his magic pouch:
“I have a ‘Blackfold Sea Travel Guide’ in my pouch here. I recall it mentions that at this time of year, there aren’t many subsea regions in the Blackfold Sea where one can hunt deep sea beasts—only about twenty or so.”
Hadley Grant said with a fawning smile:
“You two just need to take a tour of those twenty or so subsea regions, and you should be able to spot Jarvis. No need for me to write this letter…”
The rock bone magicians waved their hand, using [Mage’s Hand] to toss the pouch to Hadley Grant:
“Get that book you mentioned.”
Quick and deft, Hadley Grant retrieved the [Travel Guide] and handed it over.
After searching through the index for a while, the two rock bone magicians saw the information Hadley Grant had mentioned.
Indeed, according to the statistics from the Deep Sea Branch, at this time of year, only twenty or so subsea regions were calm, suitable for hunting sea monsters.
The rock bone magicians closed the book and after pondering for a moment, ordered:
“Set sail, Hadley Grant. Pilot your ship, and take us on a tour of those two dozen subsea regions. Once we find Noland Lee Jarvis, you’ll be allowed to drink an Oblivion Potion and leave.”
“Yes, yes, yes, Your Excellency.” Hadley Grant was ecstatic, acting as if he was about to escape from death’s grasp.
His right hand turned to liquid, snaking into the pipeline, activating the middle deck’s magical engine.
The magic yacht was set in motion, heading towards the western sea surface.
Subsea Region 723, which Hadley Grant had seen on the secret letter, was on the edge of the Blackfold Sea’s eastern sea area.
He piloted the magic yacht, visiting each subsea region in an anticlockwise sequence.
Along the way, the trio encountered numerous sailing ships anchored on the sea surface.
These ships all belonged to wizard forces from the Suman Archipelago, constantly prowling the Blackfold Sea.
From the giant emblem on their hulls, their origin was clear.
How could one know if Noland Lee Jarvis was on these ships?
The rock bone magicians’ method was simple and brute.
The individual himself was Laron Rockbone, a Rock Bone Enforcer.
