Chapter 387 Inspection
In the past, if someone wanted to help someone smuggle, Royce would have known all these situations.
This time, Sam didn't even tell him, which only meant that the identity of the person on the bottom deck was extremely special and unusual.
However, what Royce didn't expect was that this batch of keels was just a cover for that person.
After Royce got the news from Sam, he ran to the bottom of the deck with his men.
Originally, he didn't need to watch the unloading like this, but now that there were people in it, it was different. He had to watch the whole process to avoid accidents.
This is the territory of Thrandil, and Royce and his men are residents of the Eye of the Storm.
Once you are found helping someone smuggle here, you can't go back.
The Eye of the Storm will not negotiate for someone like Royce. If you are found smuggling, you will be in jail for life.
Royce sighed in his heart. He thought he could be free and easy after selling the goods here, but who would have thought there would be such a thing.
After the airship stopped, all the people getting off the airship had to undergo identity checks.
The wizard uses the runestone for identity verification, and if it is an ordinary person, then he must produce the corresponding identity certificate.
The identity certificate of ordinary people is a black stone card, which is also connected to the magic network.
It is said that this black card is made of the same material as the runestone and is specially provided for ordinary people.
Since this airship comes from the Eye of the Storm, the identity check will be more strict.
If you don't get off the airship, you don't need to check, but as long as you want to enter Silver Beach City, you will definitely be strictly checked.
The goods also need to be checked, but not every piece of goods needs to be checked. Generally, some of the goods in a batch will be picked out for spot checks.
After the unloading began, Royce's heart was in his throat, and he was afraid that the people hidden in the dragon bone batch of goods would be found out.
Next to the dock of Silver Beach City is also a vast square, and there is a warehouse area for storing goods.
After the goods are unloaded from the airship and placed on a cart, the inspectors of Silver Beach City will randomly pick some of these goods for inspection.
They will also use magic sensing spells to roughly scan and see what is inside.
But some valuable goods cannot be checked with magic sensing, such as the batch of dragon bones.
The wooden boxes containing dragon bones have the effect of shielding magic on the outside. Many valuable items are like this to prevent people from quietly destroying the things inside.
For this kind of goods, sampling inspection is required.
This is also what Royce is worried about. If he happens to draw the wooden box where Herag is, then he is finished.
As for the procedures for dragon bones, there is no need to worry. Royce and his team have already forged them.
These procedures will be found out in the Eye of the Storm, but they cannot verify whether they are really legal procedures on the side of Thrandil.
The procedures seem to be all there and are all compliant. The only problem is that there is no corresponding file record in Beilu City.
However, the archives of Beilu City cannot be checked in Yintan City, so it cannot be verified. Generally, they will be released when they see the procedures.
Royce directed the loading and unloading of the goods on the side. He looked very calm, but he was actually very panicked.
Two hours later, it was finally time to load and unload the dragon bones.
A dozen large wooden boxes were placed on a cart, unloaded from the airship one by one and put together for inspection.
Eden is the manager of the dock, and also a formal member of Thranduil, a first-level crystal wizard.
As usual, Eden stood aside to supervise the loading and unloading of goods.
His main job is to ensure that there are no problems with these goods and there are no contraband.
This job is not easy to do, because there will be many people who bribe you to help you make concessions.
Eden is unwilling to go along with those people. He treats all goods equally and will never turn a blind eye to them for the sake of profit.
He naturally offended many people by doing this, and was often tripped up by others in public or in private.
If it weren't for his status as a formal member of Thranduil, I'm afraid he would have been harmed by others long ago.
Money can move people's hearts, and cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. There are many people who hate him.
After encountering several troubles, Eden still did not change his original intention and insisted on fulfilling his duties.
Now no one comes to bribe him, because everyone knows that he is a stubborn person who doesn't respond to any persuasion.
Those people have no choice but to kill him.
But Yintan City is a very important location. It is the closest city to the Eye of the Storm, and many important trades have to go through here.
Some businessmen, like Royce, forge some false procedures.
These false procedures are very authentic, and even the procedures themselves are actually real, but they can't be found in the Eye of the Storm.
But this kind of procedure is enough to deal with Yintan City.
Some people are ready to kill Eden directly, not to kill him, but to use their connections to transfer him away, as long as he is not responsible for the dock.
It's just that this matter is a bit difficult to handle, and it has not been successful yet.
Eden paid full attention to the batch of goods unloaded today, and he had to check each batch of goods personally.
Although it was a bit slow, it was more reassuring.
The previous goods were very ordinary, and there was nothing unusual.
But the next batch of goods was a bit unusual, with more than a dozen large wooden boxes, each of which had restrictions.
"What is this cargo?" Eden asked.
Royce smiled and said, "Sir, this is a batch of dragon bones."
"Dragon bones? Are there any procedures?" Eden frowned and asked.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! There must be procedures for this kind of thing, otherwise we dare not transport it." Royce quickly took out the relevant documents from the space ring and handed them to Eden.
After Eden took it, he read it carefully several times.
There was indeed no problem with these procedures, and nodded: "Then start checking."
"Which one do you want to check, sir?" Royce asked with a smile.
Eden glanced at him, then looked at the wooden box: "Every one."
"Ah? Every one, this... this won't work, sir. These wooden boxes are all restricted. Once opened, you can't add restrictions, which will affect subsequent transportation." Royce said with a sad face.
Eden said, "If I don't open it, how can I know if it contains keels? We must open them all and check them, otherwise they will be left here."
Royce's face turned pale immediately. After thinking about it, he could only lean over and whisper, "Sir, can you be flexible? The price is negotiable."
Royce didn't know Eden and thought that Eden was extorting money like Keith.
After hearing what he said, Eden immediately determined that there was 100% problem with this batch of keels. He waved his hand on the spot and said, "Catch this fat man. There is something wrong with this batch of goods. Open them all and check them one by one."
