358. Actor Sean
"Young man, you're a dangerous question." The old man's eyes narrowed again.
This time, Sean really felt threatened, he knew that this little old man was definitely not simple, but considering the realm in which he was suppressed at this time, Sean speculated that this little old man might be a quasi-gold powerhouse or simply a lower gold powerhouse. And to be able to achieve such a concealed aura, although there is also a reason why its own strength is suppressed, but it will definitely not be able to escape the three hidden assassin professions.
Shadow assassins, assassins, lurkers.
"Money is not an issue." Sean smiled slightly, "The adult behind me said that the most important thing is that the intelligence must be worth the money. ā
In the Commonwealth of the Northern Principality, a lot of times, money is the real big problem.
For the sake of money, many mercenary groups don't mind making cameo appearances as bandits and bandits, and the same is true for the people in the Thieves' Guild, once they find that there are sufficient benefits, they also dare to take risks. And Sean is just a high-ranking bronze, a level of strength that is not much better than an apprentice, if he dares to expose too much wealth, then I am afraid that this little old man in front of him will be the first to make a move.
Sure enough, after hearing Sean's words, the little old man's killing intent was slightly restrained.
However, he still pretended not to care and raised his eyebrows: "I'm curious, who the big man behind you is." ā
"You don't care who she is, but you can't afford to provoke her." Sean deliberately slipped his mouth.
"She?" A self-proclaimed shrewd character like the little old man will definitely not ignore this flaw that Sean deliberately said, and Sean is also very cooperative to show a hint of panic in his mouth, and his expression has become slightly unnatural.
As a powerful actor. Sean's name isn't disguised. Although it is not possible to reach the state of shedding tears when you want to cry, and being like a madman if you want to laugh. But deceiving those who always claim to be smart people, Sean still thinks that there is no problem. Because he knows very well the psychology of these intelligent people: basically all intelligent people think that they are smarter than others The reason they think is that they think several steps more than ordinary people, and they have to be better at observing than ordinary people.
So on this basis, Sean only needs to use very simple psychological cues and facial expressions to lure these "smart people" into taking the bait.
When facing the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, Sean found that this trick was tried and tested.
However, the average fool will occasionally have a surprising mental reaction like Sean's now, resulting in a dazzling move similar to that of this moment. It's just that the reason why they are called stupid is that they have to add a sentence or two when they make their opponents seem to really think that they are unintentionally leaking. One of the most common classic lines is: "I didn't say anything." ā
What Sean needs at the moment is to borrow Emily's tiger skin to ensure his safety, so he won't do anything more, but simply chooses to shut up. He even tried very hard to make his facial expression as smooth as possible, as if what he had just said was not important, which only caused the little old man to fall into greater contemplation.
And Sean?
After silently counting one, two, and three, sure enough, I saw a touch of shock in the eyes of this little old man.
This gave Sean a new speculation about the interior of the God of War Church.
It seems that the fact that Marz issued an oracle to greet Emily is probably no secret in many circles. And originally. At the very least, this matter will not be made public in the Northern Duchy Federation until Emily arrives at the Grand Sanctuary of Marz, and the largest blessing ceremony of the god of war will be carried out in the Grand Chapel of Marz, which is likely to take three months to six months.
But Sean doesn't have that much time. Because after Emily arrives at the Maertz Chapel, a small-scale ritual of the god of war will be held, the main purpose of which is to test the purity of the blood in Emily's body. At the same time, Emily is in a period of boiling divine blood, which is also a precondition for obtaining greater benefits in the future God of War blessing ceremony. And Sean. If you want to awaken the dragon snake and turtle bloodline in Emily's body, you can only take advantage of this opportunity. Only by keeping Emily's blood boiling and burning for a long time can the blood of the dragon snake and turtle be truly awakened.
"So you're doing things for that adult." The little old man laughed, "But how can I trust you?" ā
"Hehe, I don't know who the adult you are talking about is." Sean continues to put on the performance of a powerful actor.
"Then how are you going to prove that there is someone behind you, and not that you are cheating on me, a little old man?" The old man didn't let go of his mouth, it was obvious that he was a turtle attribute, and once he was bitten, he wouldn't let go lightly, "Hey, you know, with the question you just asked, it's likely to cause you a lot of trouble." ā
"Then I don't ask." Sean's heart moved slightly, and he realized that this old man's words obviously had a different meaning.
In other words, this Church of the God of War in Larne City is indeed a member of the three major factions.
In fact, Sean doesn't particularly want to know which faction the Church of War in Larne City is a follower, because any faction will only be Emily's enemy. Sean wants Emily to become one of the core high-level personnel of the God of War Church, so she can't become a pawn in these three factions, so her camp is destined to compete with the three major factions from the beginning, but the current starting point is relatively low, and things can't go so smoothly.
It seems that if you want to get a group of followers for Emily, you really have to start with those low-level people and exiles.
Sean's heart quickly understood this.
Sometimes, the collection of intelligence does not require too many words, and often only a little clue and a few words are needed to obtain unexpected gains. Of course, this kind of intelligence harvest is also relative, and not everyone can have the ability to think and associate like Sean. Therefore, he does not need to be too detailed in terms of intelligence gathering work, so that he can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Seeing that Sean really turned around and was about to leave, the little old man was in a hurry. hurriedly chased after him.
"Hey, lad. Do you want to leave like that? The little old man chased after Sean and asked.
"You say the question I asked is too dangerous. It's easy to get into trouble, so it's okay if I don't ask. Sean said with some grievances, "I came out this time, there is another purpose, inquiring about information is just a whim of mine, if the adult behind me knows, I will be really troublesome." ā
At this moment, Sean's cousin is like a complete rookie: eager to make meritorious contributions. However, he is very timid, not cautious and tactful enough, and lacks sufficient experience.
All kinds of qiÄ show that they are very close to Sean's strength realm at this time.
After all, the Bronze Realm, that is, the identity of an apprentice who has just gotten rid of it, is like a fledgling that has just grown up, facing this world alone for the first time.
The little old man's eyes rolled slightly, and then he smiled: "That's it, you tell me what you plan to do." I'll tell you about the situation of this Larne City God of War Church, how is it? ā
"Hmm." Sean pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "Is this what is called an intelligence exchange?" ā
"It's okay if you understand that."
The little old man nodded helplessly. He found that Sean was really a complete rookie, but he also had some shrewdness and a keen sense of smell, and it was these shrewdness and keen sense of smell that made the little old man think that Sean was some kind of sophisticated person at first. But after a brief encounter. The little old man has already thoroughly understood that a person like Sean will go through a period of training. Maybe you can be a good talent, but it's still too immature. At least not their own opponents.
The little old man thought that it was not difficult to get the information he needed, after all, it was related to the intelligence of the newly promoted saintess, and the entire Northern Duchy Federation was currently the only one of its own. The weight of its value is completely conceivable, and he can make a lot of money with this alone.
"If it's an exchange of information, then I can only change the answer to this question, and I think I'm at a loss." Sean suddenly gave a sly look.
Insatiable guys.
The little old man's heart snorted, but he didn't hate it. Because he knows that a rookie like Sean, the more he is eager for quick success and greed, the more intelligence information he can get. And to deal with a greedy guy like Sean, the little old man is not a novice anymore, he has a way.
"Tell me, what else do you want in exchange?" The little old man looked very simply like a lion with your mouth open.
Sean was stunned for a moment.
The little old man showed an expression in his heart that he knew it was like this.
He is a greedy rookie like Sean, but most of the time these rookies only know how to ask for it, but they don't know what is the most important thing. So as long as the little old man didn't speak himself, he believed that Sean didn't know what kind of information was the most important thing at all.
"I ...... I ......" Sean frowned, "you make me think." ā
"No problem, you think." The little old man was full of kindness, and even said that he could invite Sean to a meal, and Sean once again expressed the excitement of a rookie, and he was very happy to go to the restaurant with the little old man. And in this process, in order to show his sincerity, the little old man first told Sean his information about Larne City, which made Sean quickly figure out the current faction distribution of the Northern Duchy Federation.
But the little old man who was so tricked away by Sean had no self-knowledge of this, but continued to work hard for the "other purpose" in Sean's mouth. For this reason, Sean unceremoniously ate a lunch worth thirty gold coins - not only did he get all the intelligence he wanted to know for free, but he even earned back the seven gold coins he had given to the little old man with interest.
At last?
Sean burped the little old man, and another son, Suanso, was secretly communicating with the Pope's messenger in the south of the Northern Duchy Federation, and this time the Pope had sent someone to greet Emily just to paralyze the Son of Pissos.
And yourself? It's just a decoy that has been thrown out, and all you have to do is run south. (To be continued......)
