Chapter 1909 Banana Island

After listening to Sinbad's account of what happened on the "Coral" expedition ship, Hyrule turned his head and cast an inquiring look at Audrey.

"He didn't lie." Audrey whispered, "At least I don't see any signs of lying."

From the moment Sinbad was rescued ashore by Joan, Audrey quietly activated the 3-ring divine spell "discern lies". If the fat cook's words were not true, she could see some clues.

Even a paladin like Audrey tends to believe that Sinbad's story is true, and Ms. Kate also assured that this person is credible, Hailar can only think that the "Coral" is indeed in big trouble, but she There are two other details that I can't figure out.

"Sinbad, you just said that the crew was attacked in the dining room, when did it happen?"

The fat cook looked up at the starry sky, seemed to be estimating the current time based on the position of the North Star, and then replied, "It was almost two hours ago."

"Among the crew members who were attacked and fell to the ground, did Captain Odysseus also be included?" Hailar stared at him and asked.

"That's right! I saw Mr. Captain being trampled by that witch-like monster with my own eyes. As for whether he was killed unfortunately or fell into a coma, I don't know." Sinbad replied with a mournful face.

"This is strange!" Holden couldn't help interjecting, "If Captain Odysseus was attacked two hours ago and lost consciousness, who was the person who cast the 'window' spell to ask us for help not long ago? ? Miss Cai, are you sure that the voice urging us to go to Banana Island is Captain Odysseus?"

"I've only met Captain Odysseus once, and I'm not very impressed with his voice. Hearing what you said, I'm a little unsure." Hailar stroked a ponytail with a hesitant expression.

"Sinbad, you just mentioned a man named Mark Price, who is the bosun of the expedition ship Coral. Why are all the crew members in the dining room attacked by monsters, but he is the only one who is fine?"

Joan revealed the second doubt for Hailar.

"Master, this is exactly the problem I can't figure out." The fat cook scratched his head, his face full of confusion, "The man standing next to the strange witch, no matter his body, appearance or dress, looks like Mark himself. However, the way he laughed wildly made me feel very strange, compared with Mark, a bragging alcoholic, his temperament is completely different, it seems to be possessed by evil spirits!"

"The 'evil spirit possession' or something is too mysterious. It is more likely that the guy Mark became a traitor, colluded with monsters to attack the crew, and tried to steal the expedition ship." Hailaer made an analysis based on common sense.

During the sea voyage, it is not uncommon for the crew to mutiny.

"Miss, your friend mentioned 'Banana Island' just now. By coincidence, just this afternoon, when our ship passed by Banana Island, we saw a two-masted sailing ship moored at the anchorage on the island from a distance. Hoist the flag of Freeport..."

Perhaps because he felt that this information had nothing to do with the attack on the "Coral" expedition ship, Sinbad stopped talking.

"Anyway, Banana Island is the only clue we can pursue at the moment, Joan, can you cast a spell to teleport me to that desert island for some investigation?" Hailar looked eagerly at the young mage.

"I don't know the exact location of Banana Island. The error of direct teleportation is too big. It's better to cast a spell to scout first."

Joan took out the "navigation compass" and generated a map of the surrounding area. The small islands dotted around the coast are presented in the form of a three-dimensional phantom. In the area around 10 nautical miles southeast of the lighthouse, there is indeed an arc-shaped island that looks like a banana. I think it is Hailar. The so-called "Banana Island".

After confirming the coordinates of "Banana Island", Joan was not in a hurry to teleport, and summoned a group of owls by casting a spell, established a mythological link with the "brood will" of the birds, and ordered the owls to fly to the island for aerial reconnaissance.

After waiting patiently for 20 minutes, the owls flew over Banana Island, and under the cover of night, circled around the island for investigation.

Qiao An switched the viewing angle and saw that the concave side of the island formed an anchorage. Unfortunately, the water area was too narrow to moor large ships, otherwise it would be a good natural harbor.

At this moment, there is a motor sailing ship that has been turned off quietly moored in the anchorage, and the flag of Freeport is fluttering in the night wind, presumably it is the "Coral".

As for the sailboat that Sinbad mentioned was moored here in the afternoon, Joan didn't see it, and it should have left.

With the help of the owl's natural dark vision, Joan vaguely saw figures swaying on the island, numbering no less than a dozen. An owl's sense of hearing is sharper than its eyesight. Joan could vaguely hear the conversation coming from below, but unfortunately the distance was too far and the sea breeze was too strong to hear clearly.

After a little thought, Joan canceled the concentration of spellcasting, disbanded the owl group, took out the "remote viewing mirror" instead, activated the "remote viewing technique", and established an invisible observation point on Banana Island, and directly presented the observation screen on the mirror Go up and invite your companions to come and watch.

In the reefs near the anchorage of "Banana Island", four human sailors equipped with magic crystal shotguns and twelve sahua pirates with spear guns gathered, all listening to a middle-aged man wearing a turban.

"The man with the turban is Mark Price. I didn't expect him to join the sahuagin!"

Sinbad looked at the mirror image reflected in the mirror, full of indignation.

"To be precise, he turned to 'slave hunter' Francis Messinger."

An unexpected sneer curled up on the corner of Hailaer's lips.

"Among the pirate councilors in Freeport, the one who has the deepest collusion with the sahuagin is Messinger, and those four guys with guns, I have also seen in Freeport, and they are all Messinger's capable men."

"This group of villains gathered together to hijack the expedition ship Coral, most of which were aimed at me. They used this ship and the crew kidnapped by them to design a trap, luring me to go to Banana Island for rescue and take the opportunity to launch an ambush."

"According to this, the news sent by the 'wind message' just now is either pirates coercing Captain Odysseus to ask for help, or it is simply a counterfeit!" Holden speculated.

Hailaer nodded, and made a more in-depth guess: "It can be seen that the shipwreck encountered by the 'Herringhorn' eighteen years ago, and the death of my father, Messinger did have a great influence. I'm suspected of committing the crime, otherwise he wouldn't need to deliberately set up a trap to deal with me, which just shows his guilty conscience."

"Miss, there is something strange to me..."

Sinbad stroked his chubby chin, fixed his eyes on Mark Price who was in the center of the crowd, his eyes were full of doubts.
