Chapter 919: News from Far Away
Leaving the palace, Henry's mood was very relaxed, because his mission for this trip to Kalinsan had been successfully completed, and there was still plenty of time left to search for the traces of the dragon lady Sheena, and see if this half-dragon man, who was determined to fight for the cause of feminism all his life, had destroyed the secret base that destroyed children.
However, things in the world are always plans that can't keep up with the rapid changes, just when the two of them were just about to find a place to have breakfast, they suddenly found that someone was standing in a dark alley to recruit him, he was none other than Robert who had just come to Port Carlin through the portal of the Guò Mage Tower.
The leader of the thieves was well aware of his master's ambitions for Am, so after leaving Hawke's office, he went straight to Port Carlin alone to report on what had happened during this time.
Of course, in addition to this, he is a little selfish, that is, to get a lucrative business for his (lover).
You must know that although Robert's guild controls a large number of smuggling business, most of them are shady goods, so they can't be traded on the surface at all, otherwise as soon as the taxes are paid, the originally lucrative business will immediately lose money, otherwise he will not pay attention to the colonies on the Aztec continent.
The intuitive Entrili instantly felt the dangerous aura inadvertently emanating from the leader of the thieves, and immediately held the weapon with both hands, squinted his eyes and assumed a defensive posture.
"Don't ∵ nervous, he's my subordinate, there should be something urgent. You go back to the guild headquarters first, and I'll take care of it. With that, Henry patted the killer on the shoulder, and a dodge into the alley, and soon disappeared into the crowd at the end of the street.
silently watched the backs of the two leaving. Ndrelli sighed slightly. Muttered to himself, "Damn it! How did I suddenly realize that the world had suddenly become a lot more dangerous? In just a few days, I encountered so many terrifying monsters......"
With that, he tugged his hood and walked towards a tavern he used to frequent, intending to have a good breakfast before going back.
A few minutes later, Henry followed Robert to a dilapidated wooden house hidden at the corner of the city wall. As soon as he entered the house, he couldn't wait to ask, "Tell me, what happened?" ”
"Amm is in turmoil, and there is a possibility of a civil war soon, and here is a detailed report that I have put together." As he spoke, the leader of the thieves pulled out a piece of parchment from his bosom.
A brief glance at the content above. Henry's eyes burst into two fine lights: "The Mutual Aid Society has launched a riot of unprecedented scale? Is Ascatra divided into countless lands? Anomen took over the city of Kezula? It's interesting, it's so interesting. I didn't expect Naixis to move so quickly, it seems that he has to adjust his plan. ”
He originally sent the succubus to Amm just to stir up a little conflict and let the Council of Six turn its attention away from the mutual aid association, so that these people could better carry out their activities, but who would have thought that this succubus was not small and directly detonated this brewing volcano, and the effect far exceeded expectations.
According to the original plan, Henry thought that the mutual aid society should develop in peace for at least three to five years. When the wings hardened, they could begin to compete with the nobility and the merchant class for power, after all, that's what the predecessors of the nineteenth century on Earth did. And there have been several bloody suppressions in the middle, so I have always thought that this kind of thing is not urgent.
However, he forgot that there are no supernatural forces on Earth, so whoever has more resources will be able to emerge victorious in the confrontation.
But the Faren continent is different, not only does it have weird and changeable spells, but also a succubus that can make a man worship under his skirt with just one look.
Nessastone Guò seduces a young man to easily send the Mutual Aid wagon, which is destined to get out of control, onto the highway, and then subdues Constance, who is quite influential in the Masked Mage's Guild, and the ruling class is completely bewitched by her charm and reacts extremely slowly, and finally leads the whole of Amì to an unprecedented crisis.
Henry even couldn't believe that a mere succubus would have such a good strategic vision, according to the current form, Ascatra could not restore order for the time being, and Sir Pig's Head occupied the geographical advantage, it can be said that he wanted money and money, food and food, weapons and equipment, and several cities in the south were also swaying, and it was not good to say that they would all join Tether.
In addition, she also sent a steady stream of Am's merchant shipping routes and information to the pirates of the Nrainthor Islands, and it can be said that now the six-member council, whether by land or sea, has all been cut off, and the whole urn is a turtle in an urn.
As long as Anomen can get the help of some powerful professionals, then the countdown to Am's complete collapse can begin, as fast as a few months, as slow as a year or two, and this once powerful country on the West Coast will be finished, and whether to support a puppet regime or swallow it himself depends on whether he is in a good mood or not.
"Good job, continue to pay close attention, and secretly send a few officers to help Arnomen train the army, and make sure that his strength grows quickly." As he spoke, Henry returned the information in his hand to the leader of the thieves.
He knew very well that he must not interfere in this matter until the last moment, otherwise the Necromantic Emperor Sean VII would definitely be alert, and once the Masked Mage's Guild decided to join the side of the Council, Sir Pig-headed would be dead.
Robert nodded vigorously: "Understood, I'll discuss with Corey when I go back, and by the way, I will transfer a few more mages from the guild." One more thing, the Council of Six sent a colony of the Aztec continent in order for you to publicly declare that you would not interfere in Amm's civil strife, I think...... I wondered if I could leave it to work. ”
At the end of the sentence, the thief leader's face showed a hint of embarrassment. For the first time in so many years, he made a selfish request, so he was a little embarrassed.
As the head of a huge intelligence agency, he has almost no savings, because his expenses are equivalent to the expenses of the guild, and he can directly mention how much he needs, and no one will supervise or care about it anyway.
But this time obviously not, after all, the former is a public matter, and the latter is a private matter, and the most intolerable thing for Robert is to enrich the public and private pockets, and it is precisely because of this that he has not given his (lover) a little benefit for so long.
Henry caught the flickering appearance of his right-hand man, and chuckled, "I don't know what you're trying to do, but no problem, I'll leave the colony to you." But there is one point, mineral deposits are not included. ”
"Won't you ask why?" The leader of the thieves asked in surprise.
He couldn't believe that a lucrative overseas colony of 4,000 people had just gotten his hands on it.
"Hehe, I can probably guess. Say, who is she? ”
After ten years of getting along day and night, how could Henry not be able to see Robert's thoughts, and the smile full of happiness in the corners of his eyes was enough to explain a lot.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Robert immediately shook his head with a wry smile and confessed: "Her name is Maggie, the daughter of a minor nobleman from the Cormier Kingdom, and she plans to open her own chamber of commerce in Baldur's Gate. She's not too wealthy, so she can't do big business at all, and I want to give her a little help. ”
"Haha! Congratulations, you've finally found your first love. Do you have any plans to marry her in the future? Henry laughed and joked with interest.
He didn't mind his most capable subordinates getting married and having children, after all, all intelligent beings are inevitably emotional, and a stable family can make them more mature.
But Robert obviously didn't think so, and he didn't hesitate to sigh and refuse: "No, it's impossible. You should be well aware of how dangerous my job is, and if you get married, you will be tantamount to giving the enemy a lethal handle. That's how I want to maintain my current relationship. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Henry felt that it made sense and nodded slightly: "Since you already have your own ideas, I won't say anything more, I wish you happiness." Feel free to tell me if you need anything, whether it's land or a title of nobility. ”
"There's no rush for this, Maggie doesn't know my true identity yet, so I'll have to take my time little by little, I don't want to freak him out." After saying that, Robert smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
In the following time, Henry inquired about the situation of the kingdom again, and after learning that Yiqiē was going according to the original plan, a satisfied expression appeared on his face, especially under the shock of the floating city, a large number of monsters living in the Supreme Wasteland either migrated further north, or hid in caves and woods, and built farmsteads with little to no harassment.
As long as the first settlers settle down, it won't be long before they don't produce enough livestock and poultry, and with an adequate supply of meat, the inhabitants can grow up healthily, which is crucial to the overall level of intelligence.
After all, you can't expect a group of poor children who can't even afford to eat meat to have a normal brain development, for a magical civilization, having a large population with a high level of susu zhì is the sign of its rise, otherwise even if there are many fools, it won't be of much use.
After reporting on the recent events, Robert quickly left Port Carlin and set out on his way to Ascatla. Before returning to Baldur's Gate, he still needs to see with his own eyes how bad the situation is, and by the way, he personally gives some orders to the guild members there, so that the Council of Six will not be so easy to restore order in the city.
Henry, on the other hand, walked briskly in the direction of the Phantom Guild headquarters, he didn't have any intention of wandering around now, he just wanted to do his best to stabilize the underground forces in Port Carlin, and then go to Willen to check on the progress there.
Because once Am's civil war starts, then this city located at the choke point of the sea will instantly become extremely important, it is too close to Am's capital, and it can also threaten the second largest port city of Moulin, as long as you can get accurate information, it can be the last straw that breaks the rule of the Council of Six...... (To be continued......)
