Chapter 434 Muddy Waters

With the good swimming skills she had learned from accompanying Osprey, Leah held her breath and sank to the bottom of the water. She didn't know if Damon would wait for her to float up on the shore, but she didn't have the strength to swim far now, so she could only wait underwater.

At this moment, she no longer had any concept of time. Time seemed so long, yet also passed so quickly.

The wound was stinging from being soaked in sea water, and the headache made it hard to tell the direction.

After an unknown amount of time, she could no longer hold back and had to float up. The tension and exhaustion gradually blurred her consciousness. She floated up from the water and reached out to grab something randomly, trying to grab something to stop herself from sinking. At this time, a strong hand grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the water to the shore.

She couldn't open her eyes anymore. Before the darkness filled her brain, she heard a familiar voice: "Don't be afraid, it's me!"

Joshua priest!
Liya finally fell into a coma.

The dock was still in chaos. Helot picked up Liaya and quickly left into the crowd.

But he didn't know that his actions of saving people were being watched by a pair of eyes.

The owner of the eyes was the old sailor who had made a deal with Helot not long ago. He took out a bottle of wine from his arms, took a big sip of the wine, and said to himself: "I didn't expect you to be a necromancer! Why did you spend so much effort to save a girl from Komosas?"

The old sailor didn't have the courage to track a necromancer, and when Helot disappeared in the crowd, he also left the dock.

Helot carried Liaya out of the port, passed through the mountain crevice and returned to the underground cave of Ian's house. He woke up the white deer from its sleep, let it heal Liaya's injuries, and then gave Liaya a bottle of recovery potion, and finally brought the girl back to life.

After waiting for about an hour, Ian staggered back.

"Liya..." Ian saw the girl lying on the blanket and rushed over immediately: "What's wrong with her?"

At this time, Helot had changed back into the priest's attire: "She is fine, she just needs a good sleep. Fortunately, a necromancer appeared at the dock and caused a riot, and you attacked the industrial park in time, otherwise I would not be sure to rescue Liaya from Knight Damon."

"A necromancer appeared at the dock?"

Ian was very surprised to see the appearance of a necromancer on the Miracle Island.

Helot said: "Now is not the time to discuss the necromancer. Liaya needs to recuperate for a while, let her live here, and the white deer will take care of her. You stay in the shop during this time, and don't appear outside as a six-tailed leopard. Also...seal the entrance from the shop to here! If you sense danger, don't hesitate, run away immediately!"

"I understand. Thank you, Reverend Joshua."

"Liyaya has my blessing, so I should do this. I've been out for a long time, and I have to go back to the park. I will come to see you guys when I have time, and I will come to see you too."

Helot said goodbye to the white deer, and the white deer chirped reluctantly.

When Helot returned to the industrial park, it was already under full martial law. Black smoke could be seen rising from many places in the park, and many people were frantically trying to put out the fire.

The young guard looked relieved when he saw Helot come back. "Pastor Joshua, you are finally back. The park was just attacked by villains. I was really afraid that you were in danger."

Helot asked with concern: "When I was feeling the light in the mountains, I saw the park sounded an alarm. What happened here?"

"It's the six-tailed leopard..." The guard explained, "The six-tailed leopard is not a monster, but a genetically mutated human who can transform into a beast. He is the one who did all the damage. And Knight Damon was attacked by a necromancer at the dock. This is too much of a coincidence. Priest, Knight Damon is investigating the attack. If there is nothing important, you should not go out again."

"Necromancer?" Helot was extremely surprised. "Why would a necromancer come to Miracle Island? This place is full of positive energy, which is not the environment they like."

The guard shrugged. "That's what we're confused about. But don't worry, Knight Damon can handle this matter and it won't affect your inspection."

"If there's anything you need from me, please let me know."

Helot chatted briefly with the guard, then returned to his dormitory and began to work.

No one would associate the Necromancer with a priest, so he just had to go on as usual.

At this time, Knight Damon called all the captains of the guards to his office.

"The six-tailed leopard, the necromancer, and the Comossa girl, Liaya, do you think the three of them are related, or is it just a coincidence?"

The six-tailed leopard attacked the industrial park, the necromancer attacked Damon at the dock, and the Comossa girl took the opportunity to escape. There are too many truths that can be revealed by combining these three things.

No one dared to express their opinions casually.

After a while, a squad leader said, "Captain, based on your description of the necromancer, he should be a necromancer from the gravekeeper faction."

Someone else reminded: "The Claulund family is the founder of the Gravekeeper faction of necromancers. At this time, the patriarch of the Claulund family is on the Sail Island."

Damon asked a staff member next to him: "Is there any latest news from Sail Island? Especially the news from Claulund."

The staff replied: "According to the latest intelligence, Claulund and his group have not continued to contact the Island Group after staying at the Wonderful Time Resort. I heard that Claulund got food poisoning the night he arrived at Sail Island, and he is still recuperating and has not seen anyone."

Food poisoning?

Whether it is true or false, Damon feels that the necromancer who appeared on the Miracle Island should be related to the Claulund family.

Could it be... discovered by the Empire?
I heard that the Claulund family has regained its lost power, and now that it is in the Comosso Islands, it is equivalent to the Empire stationing an army of undead here.

If, if the necromancer we saw today was Helot Claulund, then this army of undead was already on the Island of Miracles, ready to go at any time.

Damon's expression turned extremely ugly.

"Give the order and offer a high reward for the arrest of the six-tailed leopard, the necromancer, and the Comossa girl, Liaya. Contact Finch and have him capture the white deer immediately. The underground base must speed up the experiments, we may not have much time!"

When the captains received the order to go out and do their work, Damon said to his staff, "Whatever it takes, make sure Claulund is on Sail Island."

"Yes, Damon Knight."

"You go to Sail Island in person and take care of this matter."

"Yes, I'll go there myself!"

After the staff also left, the young guard came in: "Captain, Pastor Joshua is back."

"Is there anything wrong with him?"

"I didn't see it. I asked the rebels, and they were indeed stopped by Priest Joshua when they first captured Liaya. But you escorted Liaya out to catch the fishing eagle and deliberately avoided Priest Joshua. What happened today should have nothing to do with him."

Damon thought for a moment and said, "If the necromancer attacked me to save Leah, then the Comossa girl must have other value. Find a chance to learn about Leah from Priest Joshua and find out where she lives. You said last time that Leah has a friend on Miracle Island."

The guard replied: "Yes, when Finch arrested Leahya, her friend was there too, but he escaped."

"Find Finch and ask him to take people to find Liaya's friends."

"Finch doesn't seem to be on Miracle Island right now. I'll contact his men immediately." "Quick!"

In the evening, wanted posters for the six-tailed leopard, the necromancer, and Liaya were posted all over the streets of the Miracle Island Port. Hunters who were greedy for the high bounty went out to search for the three people.

After nightfall, Finch, who received the message from the bird, returned to Miracle Island by boat.

I heard the bad news as soon as I got ashore.

The white deer is missing!
"How could the white deer be missing?" Finch grabbed his men by the collar and asked loudly, ignoring the other people on the dock, "Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on it?"

"Boss Finch! The man we sent to keep an eye on the white deer was killed, and then we searched the entire Broadleaf River, but couldn't find any trace of the white deer. Someone else must have captured it!"

"Asshole, trash!"

Finch's face turned blue with anger.

The disappearance of the White Deer not only resulted in the loss of a large amount of bounty, but also directly affected the subsequent support of the Mass Theocracy for the rebels. The Komoss rebels could not fight against the Glory Oath Empire and the industrial parks on the archipelago on their own. If they wanted to be independent from the empire, they must have the support of a powerful force.

He had not captured the white deer because he wanted to exchange it for more things from the Mass Theocracy. Now that Damon was so anxious to get the white deer, it was a good opportunity to negotiate terms.

As a result... the white deer disappeared!

Finch felt dizzy.

“Search! If they want to capture the White Deer, they will definitely send out a large number of people, so there must be traces left behind. Gather all of us and go into the mountains to search… Even if we turn the Miracle Island upside down, we must find the White Deer!”

"Yes, Boss Finch!"

All the men dispersed and left.

The remaining person whispered to Finch, "Knight Damon also asked us to find the Comossa girl, Liaya, who raises ospreys."

Finch asked, "Did Lea Ya run away?"

The subordinate recounted what happened at the dock today: "Knight Damon suspects that the attack by the Necromancer and the six-tailed leopard was aimed at saving Leahya. Therefore, Knight Damon asked us to find Leahya as soon as possible to find out what the Necromancer is doing on Miracle Island."

Finch said, "What does this have to do with us? Leia Ya ran away, that's Damon's business, let's look for the white deer."

"But, Boss Finch! Our people in the park sent us news that the necromancer is a gravekeeper, and he might have been sent by Claulund."

The name Claulund made Finch take it seriously.

What is the biggest thing happening in the entire Comoros Islands right now?
That's when Helot Claulund arrived.

Some people value the bread mushroom development project he brought, some people value the original mother mushroom in his hands, and some people value his own value.

If the necromancer who appeared on the Miracle Island was really sent by Claulund, it would definitely not be a good thing for the rebels.

But Finch couldn't understand how an ordinary Comosa girl could be related to the Claulund family.

Could it be just a coincidence?

Finch doesn't dare to gamble on coincidence, so he has to find Liaya.

But it also takes a lot of manpower to find the white deer.

Finch felt like his head was about to explode.

Just when Finch was worrying about how to assign people to search for the white deer and the Comossa girl at the same time, one of his men came with an old sailor.

"Boss Finch, this is my bet...a friend I met on the freighter before, he said he has clues about the necromancer."

When Finch saw the old sailor, who was slovenly and drunk, his first feeling was that he had met a liar. There were many rogues in the port who sold false information to cheat people out of money, and he could even buy the title deed of the palace from them.

But this is the first clue related to the Necromancer, you can listen to it.

"You can see I'm really angry now, so you better have a clue about the necromancer, otherwise I'm going to tie an anchor to your feet and throw you into the sea."

The old sailor was very afraid of Finch: "Of course my news is true. The necromancer disguised himself as a sailor and invited me to drink and asked me about the news of the resistance. And I saw him pull a dying Comossa girl out of the sea and carried her away from the dock."

Finch saw that the old sailor was talking in a very convincing manner, so he asked, "Where did they go?"

"He's a necromancer, and there must be ghosts following him. I don't have the courage to follow him. But..." The old sailor smiled flatteringly and said, "He gave me a way to contact him. As long as I find the rebels, I can send him a message."

Finch was very confused. What did the Necromancer want to do by looking for the rebels?
"How do you contact the necromancer?"

The old sailor said: "This...I can't tell you."

Finch knew the old sailor's purpose: "How much money do you want?"

"One..." The old seaman held up a finger: "One hundred pounds!"

One hundred pounds.

Finch sneered. It was obvious that the old man didn't know the true value of his information.

"Okay, as long as you can get that necromancer out, I'll give you a hundred gold pounds!"

The old sailor didn't expect Finch to agree so readily, which made him regret asking for too little.

But one hundred pounds was already a huge sum of money for him. If he asked for too much, he might lose his life.

It's not just luck that the old sailor is still alive today.

"You are such a generous man. I will tell you first if I have any important information in the future. I will send a message to the necromancer now. Where do you want to meet him?"

Finch thought for a moment. "Don't send the message now. Wait until four o'clock tomorrow afternoon. We'll meet at... the caravan on Sharpstone Lane at six o'clock in the evening."

The old sailor understood what Finch meant.

From 4pm to 6pm, two hours was enough time for the necromancer to reach the caravan in Sharpstone Lane, but there was no time to make other preparations. The rebels had one night and tomorrow's day to prepare for this meeting.
