Chapter 59 Fireworks?

The Rose Sword Technique gives Zorro a vigorous stride.

In the dark, he is like a graceful dancer stepping lightly to the beat, zipping through the shadows of the buildings, like a solo dancer of Prince in the dark night. Quick and rhythmic, it was rare that it didn’t attract anyone’s attention at all.

A few moments later, a group of more than a dozen people pushing a wheelbarrow to the pier entered the eyes of “Zorro”. However, this group of people did not realize that in the shadows behind them, an uninvited guest had already been adorned with them.

“You idiots, keep your mouth shut from now on, don’t say a word! We just went to the dock to pick up the goods, and we don’t know anything else. Don’t blame anyone who made a mistake Old Barry is too ruthless!”

Under the obscure gaze of “Zorro”, the first man with messy white curly hair like a lion was warning his subordinates in a low voice.

Being swept by Barry’s eyes, the minions felt as if they were being stared at by a vicious old wolf.

“Isn’t this telling others that there is something wrong with him? This bad guy is too unprofessional.”

“Zorro” secretly pouted, but didn’t expect a lion’s head What an injustice, who would have known that night owl like you would still be squatting on this kind of night path?

I don’t know what they want to do yet, “Zorro” can only follow silently.

If it is confirmed that they are really going to do bad things, I can only knock them out and throw them to the patrolling navy. After all, the principle of “Zorro” has always been: do good deeds without leaving a name, just kill or bury.

On the dock.

The navy led by Alwin saw the belated merchant ship, and it had been a full hour since it successfully docked.

“Who? What are you doing at the pier?!”

At the same time, a group of men pushing unicycles came out from the direction of Lighthouse Island.

Alwin made a silent gesture, and personally led a few sailors to contact the merchant ship arriving in port. Gary led most of the rest to stand in front of the group of men, and questioned the curly-haired man in the lead.

“Good evening, sir! I’m Barry Old, the representative of the Golden Olive Chamber of Commerce, and I’m here to receive a shipment of our pre-ordered shipments. This is our report at the dock management office. You can check it,” said Barry, the curly-haired man, and handed a certificate issued by the dock management.

“It’s so late, are you sure you want to unload the cargo right away? Can’t you unload it after dawn?” Gary continued to ask after finding nothing unusual.

It’s not that Gary deliberately made things difficult. The wind and waves were a bit strong tonight. The pier on Lighthouse Island is very vacant all year round. In addition, the lighting is not good, and it is indeed prone to accidents when unloading at night.

The curly-haired man heard this immediately, his face was embarrassed, his waist was extremely low, and he complained:

“Your Excellency, is there no way! Tomorrow is the celebration day, and our goods are The fireworks to be used on the celebration day. The first batch of fireworks was not transported well and soaked in water. This is not because we have to hurry up and order another batch.

If the fireworks are not arranged in place tonight, the above blames and is responsible We are going to be extremely unlucky about this matter! You must help.”

Gary didn’t feel too embarrassed to see how pitiful he was, and there was indeed no rule that unloading goods in the middle of the night was not allowed, so he comforted him. He said: “I’ll tell the captain, it shouldn’t be a major event, you have to pay attention to safety, you can’t hurt someone!”

“Yes, yes, it won’t cause you any trouble.” The curly-haired man bowed to Gary Nodded, who could be his own son, with a flattering smile on his face, not at all ruthless and domineering when he lectured to his subordinates just now.

Gary jumped into the boat in two steps and came to Alwin’s side.

After a while, Alwin has checked the supporting documents on the merchant ship, including the owner, the name and quantity of the cargo, the owner of the cargo, the place and time of loading, the destination and so on.

The documents presented by the captain are issued uniformly by the Kingdom’s maritime trade department, not only to prove the ownership of the cargo on board, but also to facilitate the tracking of the merchant ship’s whereabouts and prevent possible piracy.

Because there is no permanent port staff on this island, this work can only be made temporary cameos by the navies like Alwin.

Compared with the inspection results of the consignee, on paper, both parties have legal procedures, and no problems were found at all.

“Boss, the delivery guy said”

“Fireworks?”

Alwin pondered for a while after hearing Gary explain the special situation. He also has empathy, and doesn’t mind making some exceptions to give people some convenience within the scope of his authority.

“You guys can unload, but I’ll watch from the side. It’s limited to the designated fireworks tonight, and the rest of the cargo will wait until dawn, understand?”

Lion Head Buck Naturally, there is no opinion, and it should be repeated.

After a while, the formalities of the merchant ship and the lion’s head were handed over, and the unloading began.

Boxes of tightly-sealed “fireworks” were carried off the ship by people brought by Buck, tied up and loaded onto a wheelbarrow.

Seeing that the wheelbarrow was half full, there was a person in the dark who couldn’t sit still. Knowing that there is a problem with this batch of goods, if they are transported to the island taking advantage of the night, it will be difficult to find them again. If they make another big move, as a member of the navy, they can’t escape their involvement.

Whoosh—

One of Buck’s men had just tied the ropes of a wheelbarrow, and a short, cold light crossbow shot through the darkness, “Duo” nailed to a wooden box.

He was so frightened that he sat on the ground with a butt.

“Someone fired an arrow! Run!”

Everyone present was startled, and when they saw what the cold light was flashing, they hurriedly dodged, for fear that there would be The next arrow landed on his head.

Only Alwin, who was standing on the deck watching over the sailors and preventing them from having an accident, noticed that the arrow went straight to the wooden box from the very beginning and didn’t aim at anyone at all.

“Tread!”

Leaping lightly from the merchant ship, Alwin passed through the crowd who were lying on the ground hurriedly dodging, instead of rushing into the dark to search for possible enemies. . Instead, he walked to the wooden box that was hit by the crossbow arrow, reached out and pulled out the arrow, and looked at it carefully before his eyes.

This crossbow is made of high-quality steel. It is much shorter and more delicate than ordinary crossbows. The preliminary judgment should be from the arm crossbow used by assassin and knight-errant.

Because of its small size, its cost is much higher than that of ordinary bows and arrows. This kind of weapon is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Looking up at the darkness beyond the lighthouse in the distance, Alwin told everyone to stand by and not move. If the shooter’s goal is to lured the tiger away from the mountain, he will be very passive. As a commander, you have to think about the overall situation, and you must not be like an ordinary sailor, doing whatever you want to do when your brain is hot.

But at the moment when Alwin appeared, “Zorro” who was hiding in the dark also recognized the captain of the navy who once defeated him.

“It turned out to be this guy?” Slightly startled, “Zorro” subconsciously moved into the dark again.

After the last sword fight, he already understood the gap between himself and Alwin. The successful escape before was purely luck, and this time he was not sure if he had a chance to escape.

Although it’s okay to be caught, it really damages his “brilliant” image.

“I have seen most of the sailors from the 3rd Fleet on the “Warm Wind”, and he should be an officer on the “Silver Wing”.

There are not many captains and officers on a warship, so go back and let the adjutant check it out.”

“Zorro” did not borrow his own identity using public office to avenge private wrongs. , as an aspiring young man who aspires to become a “great prophet”. He has no interest in crafty plots and machinations, and investigating Alwin’s identity is just an instinctive hobby who likes to explore other people’s secrets.

“With this guy’s sense of responsibility for chasing half of my city, he should be able to notice the hints I gave, right? I got the notebook with a sorcery flavor, and I don’t know if he found it. The secret in it?”

Thought with some uncertainty in his heart, “Zorro” raised his hand and shot another crossbow arrow at it.

Whoosh——

“Quickly open the box and take a look, bastard!”
