The player team's ships came to a stop in the temporary anchorage zone within the bay.
The Empire Bay Guard boarded the ship, and after presenting the royal family's assistance and investigation document, they began carrying out the inspection.
Several of the guard soldiers had clearly come prepared and headed straight for the cargo hold.
The moment they looked inside, they saw the hold packed full of sapphire crystal ore. For a moment, they were dazed. They rubbed their eyes, almost suspecting they had seen it wrong.
High-concentration crystal ore!
And so much of it!
"Quick! Report to the captain! We found something unusual!"
Cao Ge and the others returned to the shoreline first and waited there for a while, but they found that the Empire guards still had not given permission to proceed.
The group exchanged glances, each of them feeling a growing sense that something was wrong.
