Chapter 40: The First Step
"There seem to be a lot of accidents on the first mission, and I don't know if these situations are all taken into account by the people in the military school. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Kasia exhaled slightly, "Especially things like mercenaries." ”
"In this way, the information given to us by the military school, except for the location of Noorida's recent activities and his name, it seems that all other information has been nullified here. Although it was clearly written that he had a fully armed army of more than 300 people, this number plus these mercenaries entrenched in the Gerun Oasis might be able to form an army of 1,000 people with his own armament. Kara walked down the hallway and sat down, and the smell began to waft from the kitchen next to her.
David and his old chef started making lunch.
"That's why I'm just proposing an alliance, or to put it another way - everyone usually takes care of themselves, but when it comes to action, it's better to act together, and it's best to gather forces to break out. Although we are surgeons, we are not steel machines, and bullets hit us like ordinary people, with fist-sized holes. Not to mention that if it is a platinum bullet, a single shot can tear apart the body of an ordinary person, and we will be no exception. Kasia sat next to Kara and saw her delicate little feet on the pale green grass.
"And even if Nolida did do as we expected, a large number of mercenaries were gathered for protection. But we must not forget that the Gerun Oasis is also managed by the Empire, and their armed ranks, like us, dare not be exposed at will. The war between us can only happen in the shadows of the city, so this is also a good sign for us. Kasia continued in his own words.
"I see what you mean, we're more flexible, and even though Nolita has a firepower team of 1,000 people, it's something that can't be put out all together. It still has to be served slowly like a dish, one by one, otherwise the managers of Gerun Oasis will not tolerate such a thing even if they receive more benefits from them. After all, this is still an area regulated by the laws of the Empire, and they don't dare to go too far. Carla was also thinking about how to proceed with the mission and how their first steps should be made correctly.
Kasia nodded as he listened to Kara's words, which was exactly what he wanted to say. Both of them and Nolita have their own advantages, and it will be up to them to see which of the two sides can maximize this advantage, and perhaps the balance will tilt in favor of the other.
"Then let's talk about it, our first step is really the same as you said, it will take the students who have been here for a while to investigate one by one. Whether it's the approximate number of people, or the specifics of their tasks. With that, Kara leaned against the wooden pillars that supported the house, her eyes shining.
"Yes, our plan is still business as usual, and it can never be wrong to gather intelligence. It's just that now the object has become someone on his side. "Then what we have to do is to use David as our cover to help us investigate and gather intelligence." ”
"No, no. Carla didn't agree with Kasia at this time, "The Gerun Oasis is still too dangerous at this time, and I don't know how many new faces have gathered in the small city." It's still too risky to let David go. ”
David is an absolutely honest jewelry merchant who doesn't know much about dealing with the darkness of the city. Otherwise, he would not have been forced to come to the city of the Gerun Oasis because of his temper. Kara didn't want to drag this honest man down this troubled water.
"Let's change people. "There are poor people in every city and region, and there must be a lot of people who like to do this kind of errands." After all, this is a lucrative business, and you don't need any skills, just a pair of mouse-like eyes and a keen sense of smell like a hound, and finally be careful enough. ”
"And the money can just be taken from the bundles of furs, and we can ask David about the value of the furs later. His wife seems to be in the clothing business, so she should have some experience in this area. Cassia said with a smile that the first step was taken, and the second step should be very smooth.
So after a while, David's youngest daughter ran over step by step, calling "Brother and sister have eaten".
"Boss, this thing is sold here, and the income may not be very large. David put down the utensils in his hand and took a sip of juice, "Let my wife tell you, she knows more than I know about it." ”
"Actually, boss, we've already seen your fur materials. It was as if it was the first time Kasia had heard David's wife speak, and her voice was very good, and she was called Boss Carla like David, "They are all very good furs, and the hunters are all good hands, and there are no huge wounds on them to destroy the integrity of the fur." If you get it outside the desert, the price is about six thousand holy coins. ”
Of course, this is outside the desert area.
"But here in the Gerun Oasis. David's wife hesitated for a moment, then said, "As you know, boss, there are many hunting teams gathered here, and the price of sand wolf fur is naturally low. The price here should be less than a thousand holy coins. ”
This is the price given by David's wife, and it should not be much higher than the actual price.
They carried a total of four bundles of furs, each bundle of about thirty pieces, which was calculated to be 120,000 holy coins. According to the calculation of 1,000 Holy Coins per person for each person who inquired about the news, there were not many people they could hire. The city of Gerun Oasis is not big, but it is definitely not small, and if the number of people employed is dispersed, it may be the subtle effect of raindrops hitting the surface of the lake, so these people can only be arranged in key positions as much as possible.
After lunch, Kasia borrowed a set of clothes from David to wear. David was a little chubby, but his muscular body was not much different from David's size.
After washing the clothes and drying them, Kasia's face was a little red when she came back. It was the first time he had seen a woman's underwear other than his sister and mother. Kara hung there blatantly, and he walked over and saw at a glance, the color pink.
It's really a troublesome thing, and that's what he thought was troublesome about. Cassia probably grew up in a one-man world, and many things were only learned or understood through books.
In the afternoon, a thick layer of broken clouds hung over the Gerun Oasis, a miracle that could only be formed by the accumulation of a large amount of evaporating water vapor from the Moon Lake and the river. It obscures most of the desert sunlight and keeps the temperature at the Gerun Oasis normal.
So at the same time the next day, after nearly an hour of two women painting on his face by Carla and David's wife, Kasia's face was finally completed with the two nodding in front of him, and then with the clothes made by David's wife, he successfully disguised himself as another person, as if he was a steward.
He practiced for a while with the cooperation of David and Kara, and when he had that feeling of being in charge, he drove the steam locomotive out.
