Chapter 649: Fan Song Tavern (Part II)
After all, it's a secret agent who goes deep into the enemy camp, and it's okay to be honest with the code when he connects with people, but it's a bit of a pain in the ink of the code.
This made An Yizhi sigh a little, sure enough, it's not easy to do any line of work, so I'd better be honest and dead......
The bartender took him up the stairs with a tray, opened the room at the end of the stairs, and when he closed the door, the bartender got straight to the point:
"It's safe here, and the rooms are made of special sound-absorbing materials."
"What do you call it?"
"You can just call me Lynch, Mr. Ann Yizhi."
An Yizhi almost didn't spew out the sentence 'You actually play the CIA meme'.
Lynch is a pseudonym, of course, but it doesn't matter.
"You already know what we're here for."
"Yes, your superiors ask all personnel to assist you in your activities during regular contact."
"How many people can be mobilized at the moment? You don't need to tell me the specifics, just the approximate number. ”
"To tell you the truth, I don't know exactly how many people there are, I only know the whereabouts of some of them."
Lynch Road:
"For safety reasons, almost all of them are one-line contacts."
As an intelligence organization operating behind enemy lines, this level of precaution is understandable. Of course, there may be a reason why they don't particularly trust An Yizhi.
I don't even know my own combat power, so it seems that the rewards of perfect-level items are really not so easy to get.
An Yizhi tapped on the coffee table and asked:
"I need intel on Lopwen, the more the better."
As long as they can provide information, it doesn't matter if they can help or not.
"There's no problem, we've been active in Lopwen for a long time, but there have been some emergencies in the inner city recently, and the news is not easy to pass on."
"Emergency?"
"Yes, there was a recent murder in the inner city, an earl was assassinated at home, the city guards and patrols are arresting people all over the city, and it has also made the traffic control in the business district and the inner city more strict, in the past, only the inner city was not allowed to enter and exit casually, and now even a certificate is required to enter the business district."
In other words, the scope of An Yizhi and the others' activities can only be limited to the port area for the time being, and they have no evidence.
"What do you know about the prisoners?"
"Not much."
Lynch shook his head and said:
"We only know that the prisoner killed the Count in a near-complete containment, and nothing else."
Murder in a closed room? It's kind of interesting.
However, An Yizhi is not here to solve the case, who the murderer is is not the point, his purpose is only to find a way to make trouble, and he is just casually asking about the murder.
"Is there anything else we should know?"
"What do you want to know?"
Lynch asked rhetorically. It seems that he doesn't know what An Yizhi and the others are here for.
It's normal from the perspective of stealth action, but there is too much information gathered into Lynch's hands every day, and he doesn't know the purpose of An Yizhi, so he can't jump out of useful information to say, you must know that the information is passed on by word of mouth, without any paper materials.
How to make a big city chaotic and take care of itself is a very troublesome subject.
Even if you create a certain degree of chaos, of course, city managers are not vegetarians, and Luo Puwen has been able to develop to the present, and has experienced countless large and small events, whether it is natural disasters or man-made disasters, they can survive one by one, and the corresponding mechanism must be very perfect.
In other words, in order to make Lopwen chaotic, they must find a weakness, a weakness, and at the same time a good entry point.
Fortunately, An Yizhi has thought about this problem for a long time.
"What information do you have about the city lord?"
Julian. Lopwen is the entry point for Ann Yizhi.
As the saying goes, even the strongest fortress is crushed from within, and Lopvine is a behemoth with a strong military and an unprecedentedly developed commercial economy.
However, his interior is not as powerful as it seems on the surface.
Julian behaved very steadily, using a step-by-step approach to reclaim power, trying not to cause any backlash, in order to avoid problems within Lopwen, which would lead to a decline in overall strength.
Then, if Ann Yizhi does the opposite, Julian will have to speed up the annexation of power, which will cause the other councilors to be wary of this puppet city lord.
And Julian himself is not a soft persimmon, he has endured it for so long and finally got the opportunity, and it is impossible to let go easily.
At that time, whether it is Julian's victory or the councilor's victory, as long as there is a conflict between them, it will eventually lead to chaos in the city of Lopven, and the purpose of the mission will naturally be achieved.
"About the puppet city lord?"
Julian's disguise was so successful that even the intelligence officers in Canso City were hidden. Lynch didn't know Julian's true face, but he was a little curious why Ann asked him, but he still said 1510:
"There are some, but again, not many."
Lynch thought for a moment and said:
"There is intelligence that the city lord has been in contact with some small and medium-sized businessmen recently, which can be regarded as a relatively big move recently."
Sure enough, Julian began his action.
"More about this?"
"I'm sorry, but we know that this was passed on by an intelligence officer who worked as a servant in a merchant's house, and we don't know much about the city lord's movements."
This is the problem of intelligence strength, because Julian has always acted like a puppet, and everyone has not taken him seriously, and even the installation of spies has skipped him, and I have to say that this thing is really well disguised.
"Do you know the range of activities of the city lord?"
This is the foundation of a foundation, Lynch nodded:
"The lord of the city never went to the port area, and his most frequent places were usually clubhouses and theaters in the business district, and occasionally returned to the city to hunt and have fun."
In order to disguise himself as a gentleman, Julian is also full of hard work......
- I mean kidneys.
Orchestrating Julian in his heart, An Yi pointed and instructed:
"It's important to focus on gathering information about him."
"Yes sir."
There is an entry point, but there is too little information about the entry point, so I have to think of other ways.
"You say the business district is also blocked? Is there a way for me to blend in. ”
Regardless of Julian's intelligence gathering, at least if he wants to implement it, Ann Yizhi must at least be able to enter the business district.
"Not for the time being, the patrol will issue a magic badge to those who are allowed to enter and exit, each emblem has the characteristics of the holder's information, and it can also show the current location of the holder, we can't forge it."
"Isn't it okay to sneak in?"
"No, the commercial and inner city areas are protected by magic locks, and unauthorized entry will inform the patrol and be hunted."
This is a big problem, even if you can get a magic emblem, but if your whereabouts are monitored, An Yizhi can't do things happily.
"Do you know who has a way to get their hands on the Magic Emblem, preferably without a tracking function."
"This ......"
Lynch did know, but he was a little stumbling.
"If anyone can get this kind of magic emblem, they know that the local gangs have this possibility, but they are not easy to deal with, and they can't be settled with money alone."
"It's okay, tell me where to find them?"
Seeing that An Yizhi insisted, Lynch didn't persuade much, so he told An Yizhi the information on how to connect with the gangsters.
"By the way, we were attacked by the lizardmen when we came, what do you know about that?"
Truth be told, the lizardmen's attack confused Ann Ichichi.
Lizardfolk are very hostile to warm-bloodeds, but they generally do not attack merchant ships easily, especially those on busy shipping routes.
"Have you been attacked too?"
Also? It doesn't sound like once or twice.
"The activities of the lizardmen have been very frequent in recent times, and more than a dozen merchant ships have been attacked, and the increased patrols of the Lopwen Navy have not slowed down their movements, as for the specific reason, I don't know."
It is no accident that the lizardmen frequently attack the fairways of Kanso~Lopwen.
"Is there a gathering place for lizardmen near Lopwen?"
"No, I heard rumors of them in the swamps south of Naua."
South of the city of Naua? Could it be that the lizardmen's anomaly has something to do with the city of Naua, which has been completely destroyed?
If you can't figure out the question, let it go first, An Yizhi pointed and asked:
"As for the two princes of the Lionheart, where are they now, and how is the situation?"
Although it is impossible for Ann to always follow the two princes against Lopwen, maybe the two sons of the Lionheart can take advantage of it, especially if the other party still has an army in his hand.
Lynch took out a map from his bosom and pointed to several small towns below the southern side of the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range:
"Recently, there have been rumors that they have been around here, but the details are unknown."
It's really a matter of not knowing, these intelligence officers thrown at Lopwen in Canso City are a bit weak.
Obviously, the question asked by An Yizhi was wrong, these intelligence officers mainly collected information from the city, especially the news of those big nobles and councilors, after all, they were the actual controllers, and what An Yizhi asked was not close to their intelligence focus.
It will take time for Julian's side to get more information, and whether the lizardmen's attack and Lionheart's two sons can be used are also debatable......
It's a little ridiculous to say that An Yizhi was stumped by how to do things.
- I always feel a little sorry for his title of troublemaker.
Without intelligence to make an accurate and reliable plan based on this, An Yizhi can only take one step at a time, but he still has to prepare for it.
"Where is the cemetery near Lopwen? Wouldn't it be cremation like Amen? ”
In this medieval-like magical world, Amen is the only one who uses cremation to dispose of the dead, and Lopwen, like most other cities, uses the form of burial.
"Just north of the city, you can see a hill out of the city, where the dead are buried, there seems to be something unusual in the cemetery recently, the priest of Tyre is preparing the ceremony to purify the negative energy in the cemetery, you should be careful."
"The priest of Tyre...... Well, I'll pay attention."
Tyr is the god of justice, and if they find out that someone is planning to take advantage of the dead, it is certain that they will not die.
Ann pointed and asked where the cemetery was, mainly planning to use the Book of the Dead to pull out an army of the undead when nothing could be done, and let them burn and loot everywhere within the territory of Lopwen, even if they couldn't gnaw the big cities, and destroy some small villages would be enough for them to do their work.
But this is only a strategy, and using this method is likely to anger the temples of good gods in the mortal world, especially the Temple of Dawn, which has a good relationship with Ann Ichiji, who is a staunch destroyer of the undead.
But then again, as long as you don't get caught with evidence, it doesn't happen......
