Chapter 1346 Spy
Kista glanced at Joan and the others intentionally or unintentionally, and then said, "My lord, if you really want to find out if there are spies from the Seawolf gang on the island, there is only one way to do it, which is to temporarily close the port and expel all outsiders from the island." .”
"Of course not!" Sir Edric flatly rejected Kista's proposal, "Almost all the food and daily necessities on the island are purchased from outsiders. Closing the port is equivalent to cutting off the trade channel. We will not be able to live in this day. Already!"
"In addition to military orders, the most important source of income for this island is tourism. Tourists are our bread and butter. If we drive away all the tourists and ruin our reputation, who will come to us for vacations in the future?"
"Sista, this is a big business worth 200,000 gold thalers per year. Without this income, the 'Eagle Tower' can't sustain itself!"
Sir Edric took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and continued: "Even if you really do as you said, close the port and expel tourists, this state of martial law must have a time limit, and it can't last forever. ? When we deregulate, there will still be spies infiltrating activities, and in the end, all efforts will be wasted, and no problems will be solved.”
Faced with Sir Edric's fierce rebuttal, Kista was also speechless.
"My lord, Mr. Kista, please allow me to interrupt," Joan suddenly said to break the dull atmosphere, "Maybe I can help you with tracking the sea wolf."
Kista turned around when he heard the sound, and three pairs of eyes stared at him at the same time, which made Joan feel a little embarrassed, but he still said his thoughts face to face.
"Not long ago, we inquired about Mr. Kista at the 'Golden Anchor Tavern' at the port. Mr. Hanks, the manager of the tavern, showed us a reward notice and suggested that we try to complete the reward task on the notice and collect some information about With the information about the Seawolf gang, with this credit, it is possible to win the favor and assistance of Mr. Kista."
"Ha! Hanks is an old bird, he can't control his beak all the time, he's such a talkative bastard!" Kista snorted coldly, and then asked Joan, "Is Hanks not a little bit Wrong, if you can really help me eliminate the sea wolf bandit gang, I will do my best to cooperate with your research work in addition to the remuneration in the reward notice, but before that, little mage, you'd better think clearly about how to do it. Help me out of this big trouble?"
"Actually, Mr. Kista, I already have a clue." Joan replied calmly.
This time, not only Kista, but even Sir Edric, who had always been calm, was surprised.
"Joan, tell me, what clues did you find?"
"My lord, before I came to see you, I cast a spell to control a group of seagulls to hover over this island. Through the eyes of the seagulls, I can see all the people outdoors, and I can see through the camouflage made by magic or other means. See people for what they really are."
"In my opinion, if there are sea wolves that turn into humans and are active on the island, and they happen to be outdoors, they may be seen by my seagull sentinels, and then gain insight into their original image. Such people are likely to be sent by pirates. spies."
"That's a good idea, Joan, so have you seen any suspicious guys?" Sir Edric asked with great interest.
"Just ten minutes ago, the birds saw a suspicious man dressed like a sailor, but his real face was a wolf-headed monster."
Joan paused, then turned to Aurora and said, "Please lend me the 'photo mirror'."
"Picture mirror? Uh, okay!"
Aurora didn't understand Joan's intention of borrowing the "photo mirror" from her suddenly, and what did it have to do with tracking the sea wolf spies on the island? But she still handed over the magic mirror readily.
Joan took over the "picture mirror", skillfully activated the shooting mode, slowly closed his eyes, and switched his observation perspective to a group of birds under his control.
In Valley Village a week ago, Joan analyzed the 2-ring "Salia Photoshooting Technique" from the "Magic Phototypesetting Press" and conducted some in-depth research.
This 2-ring illusion created by the quasi-legendary archmage of Beacon Hill is actually more powerful than most people think!
Both the "magic phototypesetting machine" and the "photographic mirror" only used the "realistic" part of the spell, but ignored that it was an "illusion" and had "surreal" characteristics.
This is like the art of painting. There are both realistic still life sketches and painting styles based purely on fantasy. The pictures presented by the latter may not be able to find strict corresponding things in reality.
At this moment, the mercury mirror with the "photographing technique" in Joan's hand is like a drawing board, which can be used to record the scenery that people see with their own eyes, or to present things in fantasy.
That's right, "Picture Mirror" actually has its own "photo editing" function.
If you are not satisfied with the image you have in the mirror, you can use your imagination to make the face in the picture thinner, the eyebrows thinner, and the eyes bigger...until it matches your ideal image.
Joan himself wasn't very interested in taking pictures, but Medea, Ruby, and Aurora seemed very interested, but Joan didn't tell them about the "picture editing" function of the "photo mirror".
Because he was thinking, ladies must be more willing to see their true selves in the mirror, and disdain to use the almost cheating method of "retouching" to modify their photos to be more beautiful and lovely than real people.
At this moment, Qiao An is going to use the function of the "photo mirror" to map fantasy, and present the suspicious characters he saw through the flock of birds on the mirror.
When Joan switched his perspective to the flock of birds in the distance, his body was actually blind no matter whether he closed his eyes or not, and it was impossible to maintain vision in two far apart places at the same time.
Although his body has closed his vision, his brain is still running at high speed, recording the scenes he observed through the flock of birds. At the same time, the magic mirror in his hand was also synchronously reflecting the images that appeared in his mind.
Medea, Ruby, Aurora, Sir Edric, and Kista surrounded Joan, and everyone's eyes were focused on the mirror in his hand.
The picture in the mirror is completely synchronized with the scene Joan observed through the flock of birds, and a picture is switched every half second, showing a dynamic effect.
The dynamic images constantly presented by the mirror are clearly in the background near the pier of "Eagle Island", and the protagonist in the mirror is a man with a wolf's head, wandering on the pier as if nothing had happened.
