Sean's team bypassed the gate into the submersible area and moved slowly with the help of shadows.
Before entering the range that the King could sense, the four of them stopped and hid their figures.
Alicia had warned that the heavily guarded harbor was guarded by a King with extremely keen perception and spirituality. Even if Sean and his party restrained their ectoplasm and approached, they would still be discovered by him.
Therefore, Alicia's team will not move forward until they deal with the King.
——
Looking from inside the harbor to outside the gate, Alexander frowned alertly: "Who are those people?"
"Who?" Valk squinted his eyes and looked in the direction where Alexander was staring.
The brightness in the industrial area was lowered at night, and it was impossible to see what was in the distance.
"Where is..." Before he could finish his words, Valk saw several people approaching pushing a batch of wooden boxes under the dim street lights in the distance.
The figure looked familiar. Valk recognized it and said, "Oh, it's a merchant on the commercial street. They often come to deliver goods."
"It's not the time to enter the port. What are they doing here?" Alexander walked directly down the stairs and walked towards the door.
Valk followed up: "They are busy with the store during the day, and usually deliver goods at night..."
Alexander walked to the gate with a gloomy face, and Valk stood behind him with some embarrassment.
The King-level guard was worried about something happening and ordered his two Queen-level subordinates to stay not far behind him.
When the cart arrived at the door, Wendy said with a smile on her face: "Mr. Valk, it's really hard for you to get off work so late."
Valk put his hands behind his back and smiled awkwardly.
"Who is this lord?" Wendy looked at Alexander who looked gloomy.
She had heard Alicia mention this man before.
Alexander's role as a sentinel is very consistent with his role. This man is extremely suspicious...
An excellent candidate to serve as a caretaker.
It was not without reason that Rabbi Lins placed him here.
Valk introduced vaguely: "New official, come here to help me for a few days."
"Oh!" Wendy agreed repeatedly, smiling fawningly at Alexander.
The frost on the other person's face made Wendy's smile stiff for a moment.
Pointing to the wooden box in front of her with some embarrassment, the proprietress of the alchemy workshop said: "Sir Valk, these are the orders for industrial products that have just been completed...
She handed an exit slip to Valk and continued: "Please check..."
Valk didn't speak, and Alexander next to him asked expressionlessly: "It's not the time to enter the port, don't you know?"
Seemingly realizing that she had met an official who was not easy to talk to, Wendy explained nervously: "Sir, we don't have enough manpower in the store. We have to rush orders during the day and can only deliver goods at night...
"Now is not the time to enter the port."
Wendy looked at Valk helplessly and found that he could not do anything at this time, so she could only continue to plead with Alexander.
Seeing that the other party was unmoved, she turned her head and winked at her dull husband.
Robert Carlos wiped his hands with a silly smile and took out two boxes of high-end cigars from his bag.
"Sir, please give me your thoughts."
Alexander looked at what Carlos handed over, did not reach out to take it, and then turned to look at Valk.
As if to explain his motives, Carlos smiled and said: "If the order is overdue, you will have to pay liquidated damages. You two are so arrogant..."
Valk on the side sighed and helped: "It's not easy for them, so let them go if you can."
As he spoke, he unconsciously glanced at the "gift" in Carlos' hand.
Alexander smiled sadly, shook his head and said: "Let it go if you can...
“Is this an Ocean City official?
"No wonder the Foundation and the Public Security Bureau have jointly searched for so long and still haven't found the whereabouts of the thief...
"Looks like I found the reason."
After being directly ridiculed, Valk turned pale with anger and stared viciously at the back of Alexander's head.
The King-level sentry had already noticed that something was wrong with the delivery person and the "goods" in front of him.
First, Alexander met Wendy. He knew that although she opened a store of her own in Ocean City, she was also an insider of the foundation.
Therefore, she is most likely Alicia's hidden henchman.
Moreover, these wooden boxes are large enough to hold a person.
"Want to hide among the exports and get through?" Alexander walked around the goods with a gloomy face.
After snooping around for a while, Ectoplasm discovered that the frontmost one among the four large wooden boxes seemed to be covered by something, blocking the prying eyes of Ectoplasm.
What kind of goods need to be inspected for isolation of ectoplasm?
Delivery at night, a wooden box big enough to hold one person, isolation of ectoplasm...
Alexander smiled.
Such a clumsy trick was like playing hide-and-seek with a young child. When he found the hiding place of the other party, the sentry did not feel any excitement or excitement.
I even felt a little bored.
However... Alexander, who originally wanted to open the box and check it directly, narrowed his eyes: "That Alicia... could her plan be so clumsy?"
impossible. He shook his head.
Wendy, Carlos and Jennifer exchanged glances, wondering what this eccentric commander had planned.
Negotiations not going well? In the wooden box, Alicia, who had been holding her breath and concentrating, frowned slightly.
Alexander seemed to have figured out something, with a sinister smile on his lips: "Don't you hope to inspect the goods?
"Okay, then as you wish..."
Saying this, he did not step forward and instructed Valk next to him: "Mr. Valk, it's time for you to perform your duties..."
Ectoplasm gently handed over a crowbar.
"The other party may have hidden some mechanism in the box that will cause dizziness and forgetfulness..."
Alexander wrapped himself in ectoplasm and activated a pendant on his chest that was resistant to illusions to ensure that he would not be affected.
"If you let Valk open it... you can eliminate the first risk."
There were no other customs officers around. Valk muttered impatiently, walked forward with a crowbar, skillfully pried open the first box lid, and impatiently lifted the wooden board.
The customs officer fiddled with the straw in the box and leaned forward to look at the goods in the wooden box...
Nothing special happened.
No agency? Alexander, who was standing a little further away, frowned.
"What is this?" Valk asked, pointing to the contents of the box.
"Crafts." Wendy walked over and pointed at a certain item on the list in Valk's hand.
Pursing his lips and twitching his beard, Valk began to read the list.
Alexander carefully moved his steps so that he could slightly see the things in the box from his angle.
Slowly, he saw it.
On top of some metal products, there is a simple chessboard.
In the darkness, Alicia opened her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, like a cat with a happy heart.
Spiritual power surged, and the ancient chessboard was activated.
In the eyes of the King-level sentinel, the three-dimensional chess pieces on the chessboard suddenly turned into giant pillars that stood tall in the sky and disappeared into the clouds and mist high in the sky...
Underfoot, the land has turned into pitch black...
"what happened?!
"Where am I?!"
In the empty ancient chessboard world, Alexander's soul screams in vain.
A huge black pillar far outside the skyline was slowly lifted...
Then, like a pillar falling from the sky, it landed through the clouds and fog, and stood not far behind Alexander.
There was a loud noise, and the earth shook.
