Greece Brings Evildoers Chapter 63

Chapter 63 Don't sleep too hard tonight!

The next morning, a noisy and chaotic sound, mixed with faint cries, came from the port.

problem occurs!

Hestia in the kitchen heard the noise, her face condensed slightly, and she immediately stuck her head out from the stove and looked at the figure in the backyard eagerly.

Sensing the gaze that was almost stuck on his back, Lorne sighed, put away the bronze sword in his hand, and spoke proactively.

“Forget it, come with me to see it.”

"good!"

Hestia was immediately reassured. She hurriedly put down the kitchen utensils and followed Lorn obediently towards the port.

The eldest niece Athena warned her before she left that she should listen to someone's opinion on everything.

She doesn't understand many things.

But she knew that there were some words that she had to listen to carefully.

Following the flow of people out of the city gate, we rushed to the harbor on the outskirts of Knossos city. At this time, there were already many people gathered here after hearing the news.

There are soldiers who maintain order, priests who perform statistics and investigations, and priestesses who comfort and heal. On the outermost edge are circles of ordinary people looking anxiously inward...

At this time, in the port that was under martial law, dozens of corpses that had been soaked in seawater until they turned white were dragged ashore one after another by soldiers.

Most of the deceased were dressed in coarse linen and linen clothes, with rough skin and a reddish color due to exposure to the sun. They looked like standard faces of sea fishermen and low-level traders.

The causes of their deaths are different.

Some faces were purple due to lack of oxygen, some were twisted all over, their bones were broken, some had protruding eyes, full of terror, some had their limbs torn off, leaving only half of their torsos...

The **** and tragic scene caused some of the nearby Minoans with weak psychological endurance to turn their heads and squat on the ground, retching continuously.

But more people dragged the surrounding soldiers and acquaintances to look for and ask questions anxiously; or after hearing the bad news, they rushed forward, crying and whining in disbelief.

Obviously, these dead may include their fathers, brothers and relatives.

As more and more people arrived, the situation became increasingly chaotic and noisy.

Lorne frowned slightly, pulled Hestia back to a high point outside, and looked towards the sea.

The turbid waves crashed against the shore, forming circles of white foam.

Pieces of broken wood of different sizes were washed up on the shore.

That is the fragment of the ship.

Moreover, it's not just fishing boats, but also merchant ships with simple protective spells engraved on them...

Lorne's eyes passed over the jagged gaps in the wooden board, looking at a keel in the distance that was almost torn into two pieces by a huge force, and his eyebrows gradually tightened.

Lorne? !

While the two were looking around, a small purple figure surrounded by a group of white-robed priestesses on the field lit up and waved excitedly towards the high point outside.

This girl is here too?

Lorne raised his eyebrows, nodded distantly, then vaguely pointed to a relatively remote and quiet place, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

After a while, little Medusa, who understood the meaning, came to the agreed place and met up with Lorne and Hestia who were already waiting here.

“It's a ship out of Crete, and something happened to them!”

As soon as they met, little Medusa explained the situation straightforwardly and looked at Lorne opposite with a burning gaze.

Lorne, who had expected it, was not surprised by this, and murmured in a low voice: "Sooner than I expected..."

Immediately, he pinched his brows and asked the envoy of Athena, who had been officially certified by Minos.

“What about the number of ships, casualties, and locations?”

“A total of 7 ships have gone out to sea from yesterday to today. The wreckage currently found in the harbor has been identified as belonging to 3 of them. There is no information about the remaining 4 ships.”

Little Medusa truthfully told the news she knew, then paused, biting her lips tightly, and lowered her voice.

“Nineteen people have died, and no survivors have been found so far.”

But soon, a gleam of light bloomed again on the little girl's face, which was covered by haze.

"However, I have asked the temple to light the sacred fire on the seaside tower as soon as possible to guide the remaining four missing ships. And if there are magicians on board, they can also find a way to communicate with the priests stationed on the tower based on the ether resonance. Let's connect!”

"Do you really think that the wind and waves on the sea can tear the ship apart like that?" Lorne said quietly. Although he was a little intolerable, he still cruelly and firmly shattered the luck in little Medusa's heart.

“I'm afraid, they encountered a sea beast...”

It goes without saying that the fate of ordinary people encountering sea monsters on the dangerous Ocean of Oceanus goes without saying.

When little Medusa heard this, her eyes suddenly dimmed a lot.

Sister Beatrice's father and Grandpa Cantanius' son, they are both still on one of the missing ships…

However, before the little girl had time to worry about others for too long, a question in her ear interrupted her sorrow.

“When did the three ships whose wreckage was found leave the port?”

“It seems like yesterday afternoon…”

Little Medusa thought carefully and gave a serious answer.

yesterday afternoon?

Lorne's eyes flashed and he took the initiative to speak.

“Do you have the entry and exit times, the investigation status of the corpses, and the charts showing the trading routes and nearby fishing grounds? Give me one!”

"good!"

Hearing the request, little Medusa nodded without thinking, and then trotted towards the priestesses in the crowd.

As the little girl left to get the chart, Lorne turned to look at Hestia aside.

“Do you know some experienced fishermen nearby? I have something I would like to ask you.”

“Yes, yes!”

Hestia, who was doing nothing, couldn't help but perked up after hearing this. She immediately looked around and pulled an old man with a stooped figure from nearby.

The weather on his face and the calluses on his hands are enough to prove his identity.

Looking at the somewhat sad face in front of him, Lorne was slightly startled.

He remembered that this old man's name seemed to be Cantanius?

“Lady Anna's brother? If you have anything to ask, just say it!”

The old man tried his best to force a smile from his face and spoke proactively.

Lorne collected his thoughts, nodded, and whispered a few questions about day and night tides, ship speed, etc.

The old man named Kontanius is indeed an old fisherman. Although the description is a bit vague, he can basically give relatively accurate data on Lorne based on his rich experience.

As the questions and answers confirmed each other, Lorne's eyes were thoughtful.

"coming!"

Soon after returning home with a full load, little Medusa quickly ran to Lorne holding several nautical charts in her hands, placed them on the ground, and spread them out one by one.

Lorne did not speak, but picked up a branch, and while examining the various signs on the sea near Crete, he wrote down a few lines of numbers and made rough calculations.

When the result was presented before his eyes, his face could not help but look a little solemn.

Little Medusa saw Lorne's expression and subconsciously stepped forward to ask.

"What's wrong?"

Lorne waved his hand, and after Hestia sent the old fisherman away with understanding, he turned to look at the newly appointed envoy of the Goddess of Wisdom beside him, and spoke quietly.

“Believe me, remind the city defense troops and temple priests guarding the coast that they must not sleep too much tonight, especially in the first half of the night...”

Hearing the low and serious voice, little Medusa, who was familiar with the character of the man opposite her, her expression condensed and she nodded heavily.
