That afternoon, Dya came back to explain the progress of the factory. ????? It will take half a month to complete the layout and commissioning of the machine and start trial production. Because of the experience learned from the Webley factory, Derya said that there should be no major problems in half a month. During this time, she also goes to the Sanshi Group office to deal with steam transfer issues and sign long-term cooperation agreements with raw material manufacturers to ensure that a good cycle is maintained from the very beginning after the production line is in operation.

It also illustrates the obstacles that will arise in the future, the most important of which are the three railway lines that transport goods out of the country. The Deryatto had asked for the price, which, together with the price of the weapons sold by Waters, showed that the profit was only about one-fifth of that of the Empire. This is a problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible, of course, if you take the route of the original transport out, the profit will rise a little, but not much. Anyone in the empire who has these routes seems to have a very great appetite.

Other issues were something that Dya could solve on their own, and Kasia didn't pay much attention to them.

"If you want to have the power to use those three railway lines, you either have to integrate into the management circle of the Tucini region, or you can become the invisible controller here. When Dya left, Kasia muttered to herself as she thought. The factories on Waters' side were still in the development stage, producing barely enough to supply the king's side of the Kingdom of Chir, and there were also quantities that were constantly being transported from the surrounding areas of Manoma.

And the profits harvested within the Kingdom of Chir are not very high, and when they entered the Kingdom of Qil, they successfully seized part of the arms business market because of their low prices, as well as the quality and level higher than those of their peers. Using Webley Arms' technology, all you earn is technical.

Cassia knew that he had to gather a lot of money in a short period of time before his follow-up plans and prospects could be implemented. A small airship can reach the price of ten to two billion holy coins, and it is still commercial. In the future, if you want to have a deterrent effect on firepower, you must buy a commercial airship and the cost of its modification must earn enough in a short period of time. Give yourself two years to have an attack formation of small and medium-sized airships, and the staffing and training must keep up.

It was a week after Kasia took up his post that he left his temporary shelter and began to deal with the obstacles. Kasia arrived at the Imperial Authority building on Monday morning, still a woman in the front desk who hadn't woken up. After inquiring and learning that nothing had happened last week, Kasia followed the map and drove around the city center of Tucini in a limousine, noting the terrain before returning to his temporary accommodation. changed his outfit and became a very ordinary version of a middle-aged man. Then, with a backpack in his hand, he looked like an unemployed man and went to the vicinity of Novis' residence to begin to investigate.

This work lasted for a week, and after Kasia figured out Novis's habits and Cooper's life in a day. On Sunday afternoon, Kasia went to the base of the villa to get his basic weapons, and there he waited for the night.

It was ten o'clock in the evening, and after half an hour, Kasia came to the vicinity of where Couber lived. The residence is a very ordinary villa, and the wealthier people in the ordinary people live in it. Sure there was no one inside, Kasia sneaked inside, left a note, placed it on the table in the living room, and turned to leave, going to the path that Cooper would inevitably pass every night when he returned from Novis.

An alley with a small collection point of sewers below the ground. Kuber would often work here to deal with some traces, such as corpses. This is not a lot of cases, and Kasia has only encountered it once after observing it for a week.

Randomly found a place to stand, and Kasia was hidden in the dark. Ten minutes later, footsteps appeared from the entrance of the alley, stopping halfway, accompanied by the sound of the manhole cover being uncovered. In the sound wave, Cooper alone carries two bags down the underground waters.

Kasia silently walked to the entrance of the aqueduct and stood aside.

The waterway was not spacious, and on both sides it was the remains of the same bag as Cooper's hand, full of marks of rat gnawing. Already very familiar with this place, Cooper managed to find a place to put the bag down, took out the microbial reagent and crushed it and poured it on the bag to speed up the decomposition of the corpses.

It seems to be Cooper's habit, and every time he handles these corpses, he will always have a short period of trance, standing still in place. It seems that the person in the bag does not know which day he will become himself. It's the same today, when Cooper woke up from his trance, he knocked on his watch and looked at the time, before walking towards the exit step by step.

In a mechanical motion, Cooper climbed to the ground, bent down to cover the manhole cover, and sighed while patting his clothes. In the darkness beside him, almost at the same time, there was also a sigh that was not light or heavy.

Cooper's whole body trembled, and even though he heard the sound clearly, there was still nothing there. The body took a few steps back before he could think, and when he drew his pistol, Kubo noticed a shadow gradually appearing in the darkness.

Thinking suppressed Cooper's urge to shoot in the last step, and if the other party wanted to do it, his idea just now might have already become a reality, and it would have become something in a bag. He stood in place, took a light breath and asked, "Who?"

"Mr. Coopb. In a sharp and hoarse voice, Cooper narrowed his eyes, trying to see the other party's face clearly, but he didn't know if it was due to the weak light angle, the other party's whole person was like a shadow cut from the ground under the scorching sun, all of which were pitch black.

"You probably recognize the wrong person, my name is Saradis, and I don't know who Kuber is. As he spoke, he showed a relaxed look, as if he was glad that he was not the target of the other party's search.

"It doesn't matter if you're Cooper or not. I just want to talk to you, and it has nothing to do with the name. "I don't know if Mr. Saradis, you have any thoughts of leaving Novis. To be honest, with your strength, you can completely look for more powerful forces to cling to 、、、"

"What do you mean, I don't know Novis either, dear sir, you're really looking for the wrong person. Cooper interrupted Kasia.

Ignoring the meaning, Kasia picked up his words: "What you can get from Novis is not something that others can't give to you anywhere else." And when it comes to your wife's illness, Novis isn't the only one who can help you. ”

"What do you want to say?" Cooper changed his tone, his relaxed fingers tightening the trigger again.

"Mr. Cobb, please don't get excited. Kasia's words remained calm, "I just said it, I just wanted to talk to you tonight." All you need at the moment is a lot of money, and you work under Novis and I don't know how much money he gives you a year? It shouldn't be much, it's been a few years, but you still haven't got it together. If you want a doctor in the dark world to treat a patient who is almost terminally ill, it will definitely cost a lot more than the surgeon. After all, the details and the steps are different. ”

"If there is such a condition, if someone can copy the treatment given to you by Novis and promise to pay for your wife's treatment and follow-up surgery within half a year, I don't know what the answer to the question just now will be?"

"Who you are, as long as you want to investigate this kind of information, anyone can know very clearly. Someone else's subordinates, trying to redirect my relationship with Lord Novis from this?" Cooper was very careful, and from his words, Kasia didn't hear any changes, except for the slight tremor on his body when he had promised to pay for the treatment. "Don't spend any more time, I've heard that no less than five times, dear sir. ”

"In that case, well. Kasia sighed, a bit of regret in it, "Someone is willing to give you time to think about it, I think a week is enough." It's still this place next week, this time, I hope you can have a clear answer next time after you think clearly. By the way, I might as well tell you that there is an adult who has taken a fancy to your strength and wants you to do things for him. Also, judging from your identity, it's someone in the upper echelons somewhere who is eyeing Tusini. You don't think Tusini's situation can be kept under wraps, do you? There will be a purge here, and all the things that Novis and Beverly swallowed before will be forced to spit out at the nearest time. If they are unlucky, they don't need to vomit on their own, and naturally someone will help them open their stomachs. ”

"In other words, the sooner someone in the upper echelons cleanses this place, the sooner they will fulfill their promises to you. In the end, it doesn't matter who I am. I just received the order to follow the rules of the mission and come here to deal with some things in advance. But in the future, maybe we will have the opportunity to get to know each other. It's all up to you. ”

Kasia had been hiding in the dark, retreating silently at the right time, and controlling her voice so that it did not create a sense of difference with the distance: "Cooper, you are lucky, I hope to see you here again in a week." By the way, it's a reward for not shooting the right choice, and compared to your luck, Zickerman, Novis's butler, should be what people often call the unlucky ghost. ”

As the shadow in front of him faded, Cooper kept staring, but it was as if his eyes were suddenly covered with a film of water, and by the time he realized it, the shadow had long since disappeared from the alleyway. He let out a breath, and only then did he feel a layer of ice sweat forming on his back. Putting the gun away, Cooper looked at the entrance of the alleyway, looked at it for a few seconds, and all his senses dissipated during the period, and only after making sure that there was no one did he let out a breath and walked out of the place in a few steps.

Cooper looked around his residence carefully before entering the room. The note left on the table stood out and read, "Mr. Cobb, please consider it carefully. Crumpling the note into a ball, Cooper looked around the living room and said to himself, "There will be nothing left, if you want to kill me, you will already do it." With that, he tossed the paper ball into the trash, and Cooper sat down at the table, poured a glass of wine, and drank it.

"Somewhere, someone in the upper echelons?" Coob muttered, and confusion began to appear in his head, for the man didn't look like he was lying, "but even if he did, I didn't see it. Cheekman the Butler、、、"

Cooper's face was torn, and he was considering whether to tell Novis and Cheekman what had just happened. After struggling inwardly for a few minutes, he finally sat quietly in his chair without moving. Even though the communicator is in the corner of the living room, less than a few meters away. The thought in his brain made him choose to wait, and he seemed to have some anticipation, or hope that what the man had just said was true.

There are many things, the man is right, the amount of money that Novis provides him with fifteen million holy coins every year can be regarded as wages. This is indeed a number that ordinary people would not even imagine, but for those who operate, it is not a large number. For a few years, after deducting his wife's high monthly expenses in the hospital, he did not accumulate enough money to get a thorough treatment. More importantly, the doctors in the dark world, who are aimed at the treatment of ordinary people, are not interested. Time-consuming, labor-intensive, and uncompromising work.

At the same time, Kasia actually left from the outside of the house at this time.

、、、、、、

Kasia returned to her makeshift quarters, removed her attire, and boiled water while reading information about Madogao. On the other hand, the mercenary was originally entrenched in Tucinny, and was surrounded and suppressed by the defense forces and the special operations agency team in the city of Amoutan, and all the people around him died. Later, he went to prison, and Wagner, now the deputy minister of finance, used family ties to get him out. He then stayed by Wagner's side, captaining a private team that continues to this day.

Kasia thinks that what can be used is the relationship between Madogao and the dead mercenaries, and if Madogao still remembers and has a friendship in his heart, he has a good chance of success.

Although he was born as a mercenary, Ma Duogao has obviously adapted to the comfortable life he is now, and he has forgotten a lot of caution when he was a mercenary. I really like to spend a day or two when I have nothing to do and go to the high-end taverns in Amoutan. This time, it only took four days for Kasia to fully understand this very regular life.

It is true that there is a gap between them and the students of the military academy, not in terms of strength, but in their own consciousness and vigilance, which is essentially different. If you live in one place all the time, it should be the most basic common sense to make your day irregular. Even if it is not like this, habitual life should be an illusion that you have performed for others to see.

But this way of life Cassia is impossible to evaluate anything. On the afternoon of the fifth day, in the same outfit as the previous week, after walking around the city, he came to the house of Madogao in the evening, and waited in the garage next to him.

Ma Duogao returned to his residence at 9 p.m., still carrying the smell of perfume that had not been blown clean by the wind. The habits of being the most mercenary are well preserved in him.

"Mr. Madogao, I wonder if we can talk to each other. Kasia's voice changed, and Madogao sensed someone behind him, and immediately drew his pistol, which, like Cooper, did not shoot.

"What are you talking about?" Ma Duogao turned around, carefully moved a few steps to the side, the shadow in front of him did not react, and quickly reached out and pressed the light switch in the garage. But the line has long been dismantled by Kasia.

"I don't know if you have the idea of leaving Wagner, that is, to be attached to other people, to get better conditions and benefits, and greater rights. ”

"I don't really understand what you mean. Ma Duogao's voice was indifferent.

"Tucini's situation has been detected, and there are senior figures in the governing body who will start to clean it up next. But because it involves officials like Clemen and Acheson, they will act more cautiously. As you may be aware, there are still some factional differences in the Imperial Administration. Will start with the kind of people like Wagner, but after the purge Tusini needs to be managed, you have been here for a few years, you can help a lot. Experiential work and trading. ”

"Why should I believe you, I can hire a lot of writers to help me write a lot of these words for tens of thousands of holy coins. ”

"Mr. Ma Duogao, after a few years, don't you have the slightest doubt about the original encirclement and suppression? According to the procedure, the special operations force will not allow anyone to survive. Have you never thought about it? Is there a little bit of Wagner getting you out of prison through the family that you don't know? For example, he had already communicated with the Special Operations Agency to keep you and let you out of prison just to gain your trust and gratitude. Your mercenary team was only aimed at the dark world, so it seems that there is no reason to be encircled and suppressed, right?"

Seeing that Ma Duogao didn't speak, Kasia stepped back in time: "I hope you go back and think about it, we will meet again in a week." ”

After waiting for a few minutes, Ma Duogao saw the dark shadow leave, and checked the inside and outside of the residence before entering. It was thinking that he sat in the living room for a full hour before he stood up: "Whoever wants to destroy my current life is my enemy." The other upper-level personnel, naturally, have Lord Clemen and Acheson Domain Commander to deal with them. ”

As if to give himself hints and hypnotics, Ma Duogao walked around the room a few times, then checked the surroundings of the room again, and then came to the corner of the living room and picked up the communicator.

He adjusted the frequency and waited in the electronic cacophony of "zizi", only to suddenly feel a chill rise under his feet. After waiting for more than a minute, seeing that no one had answered the communication, he immediately hung up, took out his pistol and rushed into the room next to him in a few steps, and closed the door.

"It doesn't feel right. He said that he immediately loaded all the weapons and equipment that had been in the room all the time.
