Fisher, now well-versed in rank theory, suddenly began to question whether it was possible that they had some high-rank demi-human blood in their veins, which had led to this unusual phenomenon.
Hmm, it did indeed seem likely. He could research the origin of this phenomenon later.
"Alright, I should take that bunch of useless people and leave this place, and you should also hurry and leave Patulshen Island, it’s not safe..."
Fisher looked at Helena, who was twisting her neck as she walked away, somewhat puzzled and didn’t understand what she meant.
"Didn’t you come here to trade with the Nali people? Are you leaving without completing the trade?"
Hearing Fisher’s question, Helena looked surprised and said,
"Man, you know a lot. You’re right, we did come here to trade with the Nali people. They took a piece of ice from Mia’s territory and informed us about it. But after I arrived on the island, I felt something odd about their people, especially those from the exploration company..."
Helena seemed to recall something, her expression growing serious,
"I felt that the people from the exploration company had a very strange aura, their scent was also very peculiar, as if it was a mixture of several different sources, which is why we delayed the trade."
"Sure enough, the Female Country sent us a warning through magic just now, informing us that Mia’s navy ships are approaching. They advised us to abandon the trade and leave Patulshen Island... I don’t know what happened on the Nali side, but we dare not take the risk. If it’s a trap, we’d be in trouble, so we’re advising you to be cautious and leave quickly."
Fisher suddenly caught the key information in the conversation, realizing something odd.
Mia’s navy ships were approaching; then what about the encounter with the Snow Cloud Special Attack Team? Was this also part of their plan that they hadn’t shared with him?
If they had known Mia’s navy ships would come directly, ignoring other nations, there would have been no need to contact the Iceberg Queen for his help...
Or perhaps, they had other reasons for contacting the Iceberg Queen?
Moreover, with Mia’s navy acting so boldly, wouldn’t Sardinia Female Country and Nali have some response?
Now even Queen’s Phoenix Knight of Sardinia Female Country couldn’t understand what was happening; the only possibility was that there had been some emergency among the Nali forces on the island, which made them suddenly deviate from the planned protocol...
His expression shifting, Fisher quickly bent down and said to Alagina,
"Alagina, you stay here and recuperate. I have some matters to deal with!"
But before she could finish speaking, Fisher had already helped her to the wall, then sprinted out.
He jogged from the tavern, passed by Ossie who was tending to the wounded outside, and Phoenix Knight entering the tavern, and made his way to the streets.
The streets were scarcely populated, the tavern where the Nali people resided showed no signs of activity, only the sounds of Mia’s navy ships and pirate ships negotiating in the distance stood out clearly.
Frowning, Fisher pulled out the mechanical card Blair had given him, and after tapping it, he put it to his ear. Within seconds, the voice of the Cloud Cat Species Blair could be heard,
"Ah, perfect timing, Mr. Benavides, I’ve almost sorted things out here. How are things on your end?"
Fisher’s expression grew more severe, understanding something crucial. He suddenly spoke, not bothering with niceties,
"You, you’re not from the Snow Cloud Special Attack Team, who exactly are you?"
Yes, Fisher suddenly realized that Blair and her group were not from the Snow Cloud Special Attack Team, and he had been suspicious ever since they had produced those odd Completion Manuals of creation. Now with the Nali people in trouble, he was even more certain of his suspicions.
If it were a normal situation, Mia’s navy arriving here would not be ignored by Sardinia Female Country and Nali, only on the occurrence of an emergency on Patulshen Island, which left the Nali officials unreachable and thus made Sardinia Female Country uncertain of Nali’s intentions, would the trade be forced to cancel.
Blair’s voice halted suddenly, and after a moment, it resumed,
"Truly unexpectedly sharp, Mr. Benavides... but no matter, I am still in the hotel where the Nali live. The risk involving the Life Minister has been temporarily resolved. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me, and I also have some matters to discuss with you regarding the situation at Nali."
The Nali people who came to trade were targeted by Erwin, but why?
Was it because of him or because of something else?
And the Cloud Cat Species didn’t care about the trade between Nali and Sardinia Female Country; they were focused on Erwin, who had acted against the Nali, they were people from the Creation Society...
Looking at the card in his hand, Fisher was silent for a few seconds before moving his feet towards the distant tavern where the Nali people resided.
