Kasia shook her head, "There are more questions, there should be no similarities between us. ”

"It's understandable to be careful, but please listen to me, Mr. Tuxos. Zimmer expected such a reaction, and he paused to think about what to say, "I think Mr. Tuxos must know that Strange Creature Stories is from the first head of the family, Perkins. His identity, Mr. Tuxos must have had a long doubt, what the creature in the book is, needless to say here, it is not something that an ordinary person can see and follow. Even though there are many stories collected in the book, I can make it clear here that the first family of Perkins was a very good and qualified adventurer, and these stories that have been handed down are exactly what he is interested in and will actually prove. So there's no doubt that every chapter in it is true. ”

"Then according to the time written in the book、、、" Kasia continued.

"As you think, we are not members of the Empire. He came from other continents, but due to the special circumstances of the subsequent period, the first head of the family, Peginz, did not return, he stayed in the empire, so gradually the Cialis family was born. However, there are many vignettes in it, and like the two most widely circulated books in a given area, it is difficult to find the second, fourth, and sixth volumes of the "Records of Ancient Ruins" in the Empire. The same is true of "Strange Creature Sights", which belongs to other countries. For adventurers, the map only has borders, not borders. Perkins traveled to most of the Queen's Continent, saw everything he wanted to see, and compiled books one by one. ”

"Finally chose to live in the nascent empire. Originally, with his ability, as long as he had that will, the empire at that time would definitely have a stage for him to play, but he didn't do this, out of an adventurer's soul, an unbound soul, and exploring the unknown mystery is his lifelong pursuit. As a result, in his later years, he rode a giant ship and disappeared forever into the endless sea. ”

"That's probably his life. Zimmer said with a serious expression, "As his descendants, we have inherited his characteristics to some extent. Not quite, but over a long period of time, everyone has found something that interests them, and in this part of the inquiry, it has always been the most. Among them, there are also people who are engaged in business, and the business is the main source of funds for the family's operation. Gradually, after all, the Houxiang Continent is dead, and the places that can be explored can't withstand the slow erosion of time after all. The realm that we can't enter will never be set foot in. So in a period of time, the word 'before' entered our field of vision, or in other words, observing history, relying on the accumulation and inheritance of generations, we gradually declined and had a new direction. ”

"Ancient ruins and the events before the birth of nations?" said Cassia, "and as long as they are properly documented, words alone can really give one a great sense of the impact of the progress of history." Experiencing the landscape beyond this time with a limited life is full of temptation and attraction for everyone. ”

As a textbook that has been carefully polished by many excellent writers, I have to admit that there is indeed no room for refutation of this sentence. It's just that compared to looking for these things from books or pictures, it is inevitable that they will lose their sense of reality under the accumulation of quantity. Surgery just happened to help us make this possibility hopeful. Permanent life is unrealistic, but it also greatly prolongs the time it takes for us to age. Because of the first head of the family, we always spend time in recording and inquiry. During this time, we learned a lot, and the evolution of the empire can be said to be from the newborn to the mature, and then to become an unguessable whole, and our experience comes from thousands of years of history. Allow us to call ourselves observers, observing means learning, and we learn a lot. This is where the manipulation of information comes from. ”

"Then there is no common ground between us except for this transaction. I agree with what you have just said, Mr. Zimmer, but that is not my purpose. ”

"No, no, we've always stuck to it, but we've changed over time. It's not a big family, but it has a history as long as an empire, and what you know can be converted into money and other things with a little processing. Like these two books, we sold them ourselves, had our own printing factory, and were one of the family's sources of income. Zimmer smiled, took the wine brought by Ni Liya and took a sip, "Some can't keep up with the current pace, but it is also a long time of experience-relying on ourselves, we can't accomplish what we want to explore." ”

"One of the strategies to change is to rely on control of information and wait until the people you want come to you and filter them yourself?" said Kasia, "and you should not be short of manpower." ”

"We are not short of quantity and money, what is lacking is quality, that is, in the case of the Cialis family, there is not much quantity. Even if everyone undergoes surgery, the eventual growth is not optimistic. It takes a huge base to build a pyramid high, and we are an absolute failure in this regard. I would like to ask, I wonder if Mr. Tuxos knows the expansion of the Twenty-Three Princes?"

Seeing Kasia nodding, Zimmer smiled with satisfaction: "Then our conversation may be much simpler." It wasn't that way, but there was quality that had to be increased at this point. So we who are often active in the dark world choose the way of suppliers and middlemen. Refer to the intermediary agent, Mr. Tuxos, you can understand. ”

"But you don't have a real commodity, knowledge and information can be transmitted to each other, and steel barriers can't stop it. ”

"So here we need people like you, Mr. Tuxos, to serve as a source of information on the supply and to share it, and to get what they want from it, without interfering with each other. There is so much to be said in history and ancient ruins that it takes time to fully explore it on your own. So far, continuous research has long outpaced the content of the first family, Pegintz. ”

"Now, I, and the rest of the Cialis family, want to make these unknowns clear to me while I am alive. Therefore, people with common interests or interests are needed. This can be seen as an alternative 'blood' connection, which I think is sometimes much stronger than blood. On the other hand, also as an executor. Because everything changes, and even after screening, there will be surprises. The Cialis family has seen too many similar things in such a long time, and not everyone can maintain their original mood in the face of temptation. Here, as well as us, too much has changed. But at least our goals and intentions have not changed. ”

"Let the people you have screened out turn into gray names again?obliteration, or 、、、 hypnosis?"

"It's probably all obliteration, and if I say something like that, you can probably understand the value of this kind of thing in the Empire. So it's a two-way decision, and if you say yes, Mr. Tusos, it's like signing an agreement with us, an intermediary agent in the dark world. As long as you follow the rules, we will pay you the corresponding remuneration, which can be in the form of money and materials, as well as information and information about the history and ancient sites you are interested in. ”

Shortly after leaving the tavern, Kasia injected her body with dragon blood, and with increased perception, she made sure that no one was following her, and then joined up with Delya.

"All going well?" Dereya asked as she saw Kasia's pensive look.

Waking up from her thoughts, Kasia nodded. The black box has been discarded, and the books have been inspected with no traceable sources on them. Zimmer's words made him think a lot, and he had such thoughts when he set out to collect books on the black market, or when the other party wanted to meet the buyer himself. Maybe it's a decoy, the book itself doesn't hide anything, but the information revealed in it can indeed be reminiscent of a lot.

Peginz Cialis was not from the Empire, he came to the Kingdom of Mano before the Empire was founded, and it is unknown whether he had any identity other than that of an adventurer and a botanist. It will definitely not be simple, and the Chilus family extended by him is not what Zimmer said, it is true that it is their purpose to explore the unknown, but it does not affect some other things mixed in.

Kasia remembered the specific area of the Houxiang Continent, and it was probably impossible to travel through most of the Houxiang Continent during the period of the Mano Kingdom and the early days of the empire, without institutional and material support behind him.

Sooner or later, such an in-depth exploration will be targeted, and I didn't expect to get into it myself. Some things are still known to a small number of people forever. But Kasia wants to be in the minority.

、、、、、、

Zimmer led Ni Liya to the second basement of the tavern. Inside, there are common models of analysis machines and self-modified communication machines. After inputting Tusos' name into the analyzer, a line of encoded values appeared, and a simple piece of information was spit out of the printer.

"Is it really worth it?" asked Ni Liya, handing over the document.

"Is it about Tuxos himself, or something else?" asked Zimmer, looking at the thin piece of paper.

"Maybe both. ”

"There is no worthiness or unworthiness, one is seen as a means, one is seen as the duty of Chiris from the first head of the family, Perkins. Don't forget who we are, even if we have been completely assimilated by the Empire, but sometimes, this hidden game is what we like. Wasn't it because of this special choice that the first family Peginz was chosen? The surgery strengthened the characteristics, and the subsequent environment and indoctrination of education can all be seen as a unique model with the same points. ”

"But as long as we complete the Pope's order and carry out our research at the same time. Observing history, taking data from real cases, looking for weaknesses, and finding solutions to some problems, and then feeding back to yourself – I have to admit that I am very smart. At the beginning, in the face of the situation on the mainland of the latter minister, the situation on the mainland was completely out of control, and this method was used to prevent it, and it took advantage of the situation to obtain no tangible benefits, but now it may not have the ability to reverse it out of thin air, but history will not lie, and if it is used properly, there will always be unexpected effects. ”

"The example of the second generation of knight kings?" Ni Liya asked, "the most dazzling credit that is often hung on our lips is that the difference in strength is huge, like a soft snowflake, but the snowball formed by rolling still has a good impact. The inversion of the formation of information gave a choice, and the rulers of the empire at that time did choose it. We have existed for so long and still relied on the history of hundreds of years ago to survive, otherwise we would have been withdrawn or abandoned long ago. ”

"Just know, the data records that after the death of the second generation of the knight king of the empire hundreds of years ago, there was a great purge of us. The Empire cannot tolerate our presence in the body. It was not easy to survive, but fortunately there was the help of the Holy Emperor of that era. It can be regarded as a defect of the empire itself, compared with the establishment of the church more than 600 years later. But it is precisely because of these 600 years or so that it is enough to change too much, so that the Church and the giant countries on the Right Continent have always been in an advantageous position. ”
