Chapter 1665: big move

, the fastest update to the mysterious world under steampunk! Hancock is the senior team leader of the Ice Bear Merchant Guild. He has been with Filolia since the beginning of the Ice Bear Caravan. He should have been promoted to the caravan manager or assigned to different cities based on his qualifications and identity. He has served as the head of the Chamber of Commerce, but now he is still only one of the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce. This is entirely because of his own fault.
Hancock, who grew up in the market, has developed many bad habits. These bad habits have been deeply ingrained into his character and behavior and cannot be corrected at all. For this reason, he even chopped off three fingers of his left hand, but still no A little bit of effect, bad habits still appear when they should appear.
It is precisely because of these bad habits that Hancock has made many mistakes in his career over the past few years, and these mistakes have directly affected his promotion. The mistakes he made had been kicked out of the caravan, and to make matters worse, there were still others that had gone unreported and were now used by others to blackmail him.
This time Filoria personally led the caravan northward. Originally, Hancock did not need to join, but this time he offered to be the leader of a team in the caravan, entirely because he wanted to use Filoria. identity smuggling a special cargo.
Although the beliefs of the True God Church in the entire Old World are spread across all countries, the polar mountains to the north of the Northern Snow Plains are a restricted area for the True God Church, where some primitive natural spirit beliefs are prevalent, while the True God belief has lost its place here. Some brilliance.
Although the cities in the polar mountains will not openly oppose the mission of the True God Church, they will secretly use some means to hinder the effect of the mission, such as preventing any books related to the True God Church from entering the polar mountains, and preventing the True God Church from setting up a sanctuary. Churches and other important missionary places, if the Church of the True God wants to preach, it will send its clergy to preach one-on-one and one by one. This kind of missionary efficiency can almost be said to be ineffective.
Of course, these obstructive actions against the Church of the True God by the various cities in the mountains will not be written in clear decrees, but will be made into customary rules, and some small tricks will be implemented during implementation, such as blocking books related to the Church of the True God, which is to directly check These books, Ann's crime is that there are prohibited books in them, and the method to avoid the creation of the interface by the Church of True God is also very simple, that is to deliberately stuff a few prohibited books disguised as church classics in them during the search.
The Church of True God is naturally very clear about this, but they have no reason to hold the polar mountains accountable for their actions, and they can only suffer from this dumb loss.
However, even so, the clergy within the Church of the True God did not lose their enthusiasm for preaching to various cities in the polar mountains. A large number of ascetic clergy believed that the polar mountains were the test of the gods, so even if they failed countless times, they still A large number of clergymen from the Church of True God rushed to the cities in the polar mountains one after another.
Although those clergy who believe in asceticism are full of enthusiasm, missionary work is not only enough for passion, but also requires tools, and this tool is naturally the church books that record the true meaning of the gods.
When Philolia began to organize the caravan to the north, the clergy of the Spirit of Knowledge Church in the Church of the True God found Hancock and were willing to pay a lot of money for Hancock to help them transport a batch of church books to Movit Road.
The reason why Hancock was found is because a very important handle of Hancock was grasped by the people of the Spirit of Knowledge Church. The other is that the Ice Bear Chamber of Commerce where Hancock belongs is a very special chamber of commerce. Leah had an agreement with the city lord of Movit Road. This agreement not only reduced and exempted Philolia’s commercial tax for thirty years, but also allowed Philolia’s caravan to have the qualifications not to be inspected when entering the city. The qualifications for the entire northern snowfield are only available to a few special characters such as Philolia.
Facing the request of the Spirit of Knowledge Church, Hancock agreed only after hesitating. The reason why he agreed so readily was that the handle left behind was too dangerous. If it leaked out, even the Chamber of Commerce would not be able to protect it. Live him, maybe even send him away directly.
In addition, although the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge is also restricted in the cities of the polar mountains like other churches of the true God, the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge is different from other churches after all. The way they preach is more like imparting knowledge, and even They still have some cooperation with various cities in the polar mountains, so even if the books transported by the Spirit of Knowledge Church are discovered, they will not be punished too much. With the influence of the Chamber of Commerce, they only need to confiscate the smuggled goods and pay some A fine may be able to get away.
Of course, he agreed happily because the Spirit of Knowledge Church gave too much, and he needed a lot of money recently.
Things went well. He took advantage of his position to mix the books of the Spirit of Knowledge Church with the goods of the Chamber of Commerce, and took the initiative to lead the team. The only accident was that the caravan set off earlier than expected. It's a lot late, and the biggest problem you will encounter when you start late is the black storm on the snowfield.
The caravan encountered a black storm on the way. Although this black storm is not the biggest, it is also very dangerous for the entire caravan. This also forced the caravan to turn around and come to Palm Rock. Avoid the black storm.
When the caravan successfully arrived at Palm Rock and started to set up camp, Hancock received news that Philolia had put aside the caravan and ran to find the legendary Palm Rock treasure. As the leader of the chamber of commerce, Loria is too unprofessional, but he is happy to see it succeed, because without Loria's personal supervision, many inspection procedures will be much easier.
Since it needs to be repaired on the palm rock for a few days, the goods cannot continue to be placed on the back of the pack beast, and they need to be unloaded one by one and counted one by one.
If Floria was there, the caravan steward would definitely ask each team in the caravan to unload and count each other, in case someone messed up, but now that Floria is not there, there is room for things to be turned around.
"Portis, I'll unload and count the goods for my team later, okay?" Hancock directly found the director in charge of his part of the team and suggested.
Hearing Hancock's proposal, Portis glanced at the other party and said, "You smuggled something?"
The reason Hancock was sure that things could be turned around was because Portis, who is now his boss, used to be very good friends with him, and they took each other's lives, and Portis could be the director. He borrowed some of Hancock's relationships, so he thought that the other party should not embarrass him about such trivial matters as unloading the goods, but what he didn't expect was that the other party directly saw through the reason behind his behavior, and his face immediately showed panic. Looking around, I saw that everyone else was busy with their own affairs. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I didn't hear what I just said.
"You're crazy, is it possible to say such a thing?" Hancock couldn't help complaining when he was relieved.
"You can do it, I can't say it yet." Portis also looked at his friend with great dissatisfaction, but he lowered his voice, leaned in front of the other party, and whispered: "Don't you know you What is your current situation? If this matter is known, you will be too late. After being kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce, what else can you do, and which caravan will use you? Then your creditors…

Hancock also knew that his friend was worried about him. Facing his friend's lesson, he also lowered his head, did not refute, and listened silently. As for whether he listened to it, it is unknown, but when Portis stopped teaching. , then raised his head and said, "I've already done it, what else can I do?"
Looking at the friend in front of him, Portis took a deep breath and suppressed the fire in his heart, and then asked Hancock very seriously: "What kind of goods are you smuggling? Shouldn't it be those taboos..."
"No, no! Of course not." Hancock shook his head quickly and said, "I dare not touch those things. The smuggled things this time are just a batch of books."
"Book?" Portis frowned and quickly thought of what the book was in Hancock's mouth, and immediately confirmed: "It's the church..."
Before he finished speaking, Hancock nodded, and then his fingers drew a representative symbol of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge in the air.
Seeing that the smuggled goods were the books of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge, Portis was also slightly relieved. Although it was also the Church of the True God, the cities in the polar mountains were more tolerant of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge than other True God churches. It's a lot bigger, and even if it's discovered, it won't cause too much trouble.
However, he still reassured and reconfirmed: "Are you sure there are only the books of the Spirit of Knowledge Church and nothing else?"
"Of course, I installed the goods myself." Hancock responded quickly, feeling that his friend was about to let go.
After listening to Portis, he thought about it for a while, and said, "Okay! You are responsible for the unloading and inventory work of your team." After speaking, he reminded: "No Next page! Current 1 page/total 2 pages
To let others find out, clean up the camp as soon as possible, it is getting dark. "
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Hancock was no longer in the mood to talk to his friends, so he immediately turned around and prepared to go back to his team to unload the goods. At this moment, the ground under his feet suddenly shook, and he did not stand firm and fell on the ground. On the ground, many others around him fell like him, and the abnormal shaking of the ground also disturbed the caravan's pack beasts. He walked away from the palm rock and ran into the surrounding forest.
Because the goods were only unloaded, the sudden surprise of the pack beast caused all the remaining goods to fall off the back of the pack beast, and the sudden change also caught everyone in the caravan by surprise and did not stabilize the pack immediately. beast.
Although the people in the caravan were all experienced and soon returned to normal, it was over. All kinds of goods were scattered all over the camp, and some frightened pack beasts were brought into the woods.
At this time, the supervisors of each team stood at the height of the pile of goods, so that everyone around could see them, and then loudly issued orders one by one to suspend the camp, some people stayed behind to clean up the chaotic camp, while the other part Led by the guards into the woods, began to retrieve the pack beasts and scattered goods.
Hancock was about to cry to death at the moment, because the pack beasts carrying his smuggled goods were also among the frightened pack beasts, and because his team was at the outermost position, the pack beasts also ran farther, when he When he returned to the camp where his team was located, his subordinate told him that the pack beast had run deep into the woods, and it was difficult to find it in the current blizzard weather.
Hancock did not reject his subordinate's proposal, because he also felt that this proposal was correct. Although it might cause trouble if the pack beasts were left in the forest, his smuggled church books were placed in sturdy boxes. Even if something happens to the pack beast, there will be no problem with those things, you just need to get the goods back and replace it with a pack beast.
However, just when Hancock decided to follow the advice of his subordinates and temporarily concentrated on retrieving the lost pack beasts nearby, the pack beasts that were too deep into the woods waited for the weather to get better, and the ground tremors that happened before reappeared. And this time the vibration was bigger.
With the previous experience, the caravan personnel immediately stabilized the pack beasts that were panicked again, and each held the things around them to avoid falling, while those pack beasts who didn't have time to catch them ran even more because of the fright. Far.
In the face of this situation, Hancock felt that this kind of earthquake might happen in the future, and the frightened pack beasts would also be frightened and flee to a farther place. In that case, wait for a while. Look, I'm afraid you won't find anything.
As a result, Hancock changed his attention and immediately divided two groups of people like other team leaders. One group stayed in place to clean up the camp, and the other group followed him into the forest to find the lost pack beast.
Afterwards, as Hancock expected, the earthquakes began to become more frequent and the movements became louder. Some of the pools around the palm rock began to boil, and some quickly cooled and froze. All the changes did not seem to be a good thing. occur.
For this reason, the caravan directors discussed moving the caravan camp to a more peripheral place to avoid any major anomalies, and they would bear the brunt of it.
However, the more serious problem now is what happened to their chamber of commerce master Filoria.
Now these supervisors are very clear that all these abnormal movements must be related to the palm rock, and now Philolia is looking for the legendary palm rock treasure, to connect the two, they all have to suspect that Philolia may be I found the legendary palm rock treasure and fought against the terrifying existence guarding the treasure, so there was such a big commotion.
For their supervisors, compared to the goods of the caravan, it is obvious that the safety of Philolia is more important, so they quickly made a decision to support Philolia, but now The problem is they don't know where Filoria is.
And just when these caravan executives were anxious and worried about the safety of Philolia, a burst of exclamations from not far away alarmed them, and they climbed up the cargo pile and looked over to the exclamation. , they saw Philolia, who had grown taller and had a pair of golden antlers on her head, walked towards them, while the relatively short figure beside Philolia was directly ignored by them.
