Shelah couldn't care less about hiding it, and said anxiously, "Yes, my daughter... scholar Dirac is my daughter Laddie Setia Gerard!"
Quirk suddenly jumped up. "Female Advisor?"
Then he slapped himself hard on the forehead.
"What a stupid pig I am! With green hair, such handsome looks, and that familiar figure, isn't it the consultant lady?"
But now it's too late to complain that I'm stupid. Since the other person's mother came to ask for help, why shouldn't I not help? It is his duty to escort their family back to Northwest Bay safely.
"Mrs. Setia? Where is your sister now?"
"It should be in the forest north of Niceburg. This parrot will take us to the specific location."
"Parrot?"
Quirk then discovered that a parrot landed on Mrs. Setia's shoulder out of nowhere.
"Yes, this parrot and my daughter are connected. It can sense that Laddie is in danger."
Although there were many doubts in her heart, Quirk did not doubt the other party. Miss Laddie was deeply trusted by Earl Greiman. She admitted that there was nothing wrong with her mother.
Moreover, the place of distress was in the forest, so it shouldn't be a dispute with the Horn Bay Alliance government. There was a high probability that he encountered bandits or wild beasts.
But if he really got into trouble with the alliance government, then he could only turn to the Foster Family for help.
He immediately sent sailors to the cabin to wake everyone up, and then called the first mate, second mate and Laddie's mother to come to Captain's Cabin.
Quirk briefly explained the situation and made arrangements immediately:
He and the second mate led thirty people to follow Mrs. Setia to the forest north of the city to look for Miss Laddie. The second mate led the remaining ten people to guard the Southern.
No one had any objections and started taking action immediately.
The sailor on duty who was responsible for waking everyone up had already informed his companions of the cause of the incident. Everyone found out that the elegant Mr. Dirac who had been on the same boat with him for such a long time turned out to be the charming Female Advisor next to the lord. They were very surprised.
And this beautiful Female Advisor was now in danger. For a moment, the crowd was excited and clamored for a hero to save the beauty.
Quirk even skipped pre-battle mobilization and immediately ordered thirty people to pick up their weapons and line up ashore.
A few young candidates with strong curiosity wanted to sign up eagerly. They also wanted to go outside the city and go on a rescue mission in the middle of the night. It was exciting to think about it.
Then they were locked into Captain's Cabin.
There was a commotion in the cabin, and everyone took out their own equipment. In order to ensure the safety of this expedition to the south, the Navy's preparations were painstaking. In addition to cannons and gunpowder, the Nanfang also carried 40 muskets with Socket Bayonet, and 10 "Big Spouter" - large-caliber short-barreled muskets that can fire shotguns.
Shelah watched in surprise as the sailors ran to the shore to line up with their "long guns and short cannons".
Captain Quirk ordered them to prepare weapons, but they all took out some strange things.
She saw someone attaching a spike-like object to one end of the strange "wooden stick"--actually she didn't know how to describe that thing. The stick seemed to have an iron pipe embedded in it--which was quite like a spear, but much shorter than a real spear.
But this group of people was well-trained, and it took only a few minutes to form a neat team on the dock. It was obvious that Captain Quirk must have worked hard to train them on weekdays.
Shelah was even more surprised. She had never seen any army that could do this.
Yes, the army. Now she had no doubt in her heart that the team in front of her was definitely a real army, not just an expedition team.
Quirk said to Shelah, "Mrs. Setia, please... uh... please let your parrot lead the way."
Shelah nodded.
"Please, Polly."
The parrot Polly that was parked on her shoulder immediately spread its wings and flew into the air, making a cry to let people know its location. Shelah followed closely behind.
"Everyone obeys the order! Follow Mrs. Setia."
The captain gave the order and the improvised rescue team started running quickly.
Niceburg's North City Gate, and several City Garrison Soldiers are warming up over a small fire. Although the autumn and winter seasons in Jiaowan are not as cold as those in the north, it is a bit cool after standing outside for a long time in the middle of the night.
Soldiers people gathered around, listening to the captain chatting nonsense while smoking his pipe.
"You young people, you have never heard of many ancient legends about Niceburg."
"Boss, you are a local here, so you must know a lot about me?"
The captain raised his head with a hint of pride on his face.
"Of course, my family told me this every day when I was a kid."
"Tell me a few words and listen!"
Seeing that his subordinates were aroused, the captain started talking.
"It is said that before Horn Bay Alliance was established, Niceburg was just an ordinary small town by the sea."
"The people who live here are unlucky. They pray to Lord of Light for their lives every day. If it weren't for a special spice here, they would have disappeared long ago. The residents are facing the threat of a terrible disaster."
Is it a horror story? Soldiers swallowed, "What kind of disaster is it?"
The captain had a mysterious expression on his face and said word by word, "Wolf disaster!"
"Wolf plague?"
Soldiers We are very surprised. There are many wolves near Niceburg, but they rarely attack pedestrians on the road. As long as you don't forget to run deep into the forest, you will be fine.
The captain nodded and confirmed. "Yes, wolf plague!"
"Captain, the wolves here seem to be very docile."
"Humph! That was now, it wasn't like this a hundred years ago!"
The captain continued to act mysterious.
"It is said that a long time ago, the wolf of Niceburg liked to eat people very much!"
"It's not like now, only targeting those unlucky ones lost in the deep forests! Instead, they attack business travelers in groups in broad daylight, and those wolves are very organized, just like a human army."
Soldierss shrank their necks.
"The largest wolf pack now only has about a dozen or so, but at that time wolves appeared in hundreds and hundreds."
"On the night of the full moon, it is a time of hell for the people of Niceburg. At this time, the hungry wolves are no longer content to rob pedestrians on the road, but will actively attack towns. They rush into the yards with unlocked doors and take away poultry, livestock, and even human children."
"The ancestors were miserable. They never thought of organizing an organization to exterminate the wolves, but they suffered heavy losses when they entered the depths of the forest. Legend -"
"What's the legend?"
"Legend has it that there is a Wolf King leading them..."
At this moment, a wolf howl suddenly came from far and near, and the captain and Soldiers heard it clearly.
"Ouch——"
