"Do you have a direction to start with?" Fen would also be concerned about such an important matter. At least he should know when he should go on a killing spree, so as to intimidate everyone and make it easier for him.
Of course someone understood the meaning of the Lich's expression. He shook his head to stop it and said: "It's not that far yet. Let's find out what the situation is first. Uzov, please start with the Ikaruga Alliance's intelligence network.
.I know it’s an issue with the airship, so you should be able to get some targeted information. And I’m going to visit new friends.”
Now everyone was curious. Halumi was quick to speak and asked first: "Who are you looking for?"
"Remember the fat man who came to the Sid to collect taxes?"
After mentioning it briefly, everyone remembered that there is indeed such a number one person. Lin continued: "To silence serious business people, there must be pressure. If it is the pressure of the underground world, there will always be people who will not give in.
But this time, the whole army was wiped out, and not even a single person could be found to help. This means that the pressure comes from a bigger place. And in a bigger place, except for people in the officialdom, it is unlikely that
There will be others. Unless the Gewana Empire has an underground emperor or something. Since it is an official matter, of course you have to ask someone in this field to inquire."
Thinking of the performance of the fat administrator, everyone had little confidence. The lich, who thought he had a good grasp of people's hearts, asked: "Can that man be used?"
"Hehe, if he were a high-ranking palace official, I would still be worried. But it is an inconspicuous little manager who knows how to run a business. That guy is a smart man and will not do anything too stupid. Not to mention
Whether the other party says it or not, as long as he shows his attitude, it is a clue to us."
Most people can't understand a simple conversation. Only black dragons and lichs who have experienced the sophistication of people understand a little bit. Only Uzov, who is well versed in this, understands the meaning of someone's words. From the moment he meets the other person,
, is a test. No matter what the other party says, it is always an answer. There are very few people who can understand this; but as long as they understand, such people can become very good spies.
Just saying... this magician is already troublesome enough. If he was also proficient in human nature, he would almost have no opponent. Uzov commented in his heart.
"Teacher, do you want us to follow?" Kaya asked, maintaining her usual calmness.
Lin waved his hands in disgust and said: "Whatever you do with me, you are just a burden. If I am the only one, no one can catch me. With one more of you, I am like an extra rope to tie my hands."
It's like tying your feet.
Everyone was speechless, but they had to admit that the magician was telling the truth. After being together for such a long time, everyone more or less understood the shortcomings and advantages of the flash technique. In the end, they could only watch each other leave.
Although I don’t know where the fat manager of the airship station lives, he will definitely appear in the management cabin. After all, that is where he works. And that place is a place that someone has passed by before, so he has already passed by.
There was detailed map information. After Lin confirmed the distance again, he activated the flash technique and went directly to the roof of the hut.
According to his own detection method, there was no one in the room. It seemed that the management officials saw the new airship again and excitedly came forward to ask for taxes from the empire.
Lin Zai flashed and entered the management office. The furnishings in the cabin were extremely simple, without any luxurious decorations, but the layout was very comfortable. It seems that the person in charge of this area is also a master of low-key and pretentious.
While someone was just fumbling around like this, the people outside came back. They hid in the hiding spot that had been observed in advance and entered the management office. It was the two familiar faces, Hassan Bakhsh and him. Gatekeeper companion.
There was no conversation between the two, they just wrote their respective documents familiarly. This is a record that must be kept after every tax recovery. If some flaws are found in it, the high officials above will not throw themselves into prison. In this case, by the way, one's own property is claimed to be confiscated, but in fact it is used to enrich one's own pockets.
Hassan's companion's work was relatively simple, and he finished it in a short time. He picked up the treasure's pipe and tobacco bag and walked outside the management office, leaving only the fat tax collector alone engrossed in writing paperwork.
After setting up a simple soundproof barrier, Lin walked out of his hiding place. Seeing that the fat man didn't respond, Lin had to cough as a reminder.
The fat man, who was frightened by the sudden noise, jumped up and looked around in panic. But when he saw a certain magician appearing behind him, he calmed down. But he also said with a bitter smile: "Your Excellency, you really don't want to It’s time to come. Listen to my advice and leave as quickly as possible in an airship.”
He put a small bag of money on the corner of the table. The position required Hassan to take a few steps forward, but someone could reach out and take it back. Lin said: "The airship still has some imperfections. It needs to be Only after the modification is completed can I get back on the road safely. So it’s not that I don’t want to leave, it’s just that I can’t leave. So I want to know where the resistance I face comes from.”
"That legendary weapon, Hakiri, is yours, right?" Hassan asked a seemingly unrelated question.
In this regard, Lin had nothing to hide. He nodded directly and said: "It is with me for the time being. So it should be considered mine, right?"
"That's the problem." Hassan said quite vaguely. In fact, someone could guess these things.
Ever since he knew that something bad happened after handing over Hakori last time, Lin knew that he would be targeted. But it was not clear how deep the water was here and how wide the involvement was. And this concerned him. The force of the counterattack should be how hard it should be.
For those nobles, although there were many casualties, I heard that the real heirs of the nobles were not hurt. In other words, in this matter, for the nobles, at best, they lost face and lost some strength. , it’s not as high as killing a father or a son and having an unending blood feud.
One of the options is to directly stare at the bastard family and kill them all, but someone doesn't want to do that. In other words, he doesn't want to do it directly just because the airship cannot be repaired. Both parties It's still just a trial, and there's no room for change.
What Lin wanted to know was whether the family of Viscount Nia could show such energy, or whether other nobles were involved. So he simply asked: "Who are they?"
"All." Hassan answered in simpler terms.
Hearing such an answer, Lin's eyes almost bulged out, and he questioned: "Is it really everything?"
Hassan nodded helplessly.
Only then did someone feel like he had stung a hornet's nest. He clasped his forehead and sighed, "As for that."
"That sword is too dangerous for them." Hassan talked about a very real problem.
Lin probably figured it out at this time. A sword that can pry into the secrets of the heart and announce it loudly and unscrupulously. Who among those nobles with clean butts will not be afraid. So they only think of seizing this weapon, maybe
It could be sealed, destroyed, or forced to be handed over to a more powerful noble for safekeeping.
But they don't seem to have thought about it, can Hakiri be sealed? Can it be destroyed? And can its holders be dealt with by them? Or do they think that those who hold the target are really just a group of barbarians?
Perhaps due to various miscalculations, the nobles who only saw the dangers of Hagiri took it for granted that they would use this method to force the owner to come forward and hand over the extremely threatening sword.
However, having all the nobles in Abadan City as opponents made Lin calm down. He looked at the fat man with a bitter look in front of him, and at the same time noticed that under environmental monitoring, the man outside was about to walk in. Lin smiled and said
: "Your Excellency has given me a lot of help. I think asking for more information would be a bit too much. -" Pushing the small purse forward, "——I don't know who accidentally dropped this thing. I want to ask for more information, Your Excellency."
Just remember, you have never met me and this conversation never existed."
With a bow, Lin flashed and disappeared. At the same time, Hassan's companion opened the door and walked in.
Seeing a large living person suddenly disappearing in front of his eyes, and it was not any kind of teleportation magic he knew, Hassan suddenly felt that it was a mistake for the nobles to choose such an opponent. Originally, he was still worried about how the opponent would go from there with only one portal.
The management office quietly left without alerting their companions. It seemed that their worries were in vain.
Feeling that the attitude of the fat man in front of him was very different from usual, Hassan's friend asked: "What's going on? Is there any discrepancy in the account?"
"It's okay, I just remembered that I haven't eaten your wife's fish soup for a long time."
"Then, do you want to come and eat?"
"Let's leave early today. I'm going to buy a big fresh fish, and then my wife and I will go to your house to disturb you."
"Yes." The unsmiling companion just nodded, intending to complete the work on hand as soon as possible.
Hassan looked at the small money bag on the table. Although his table was fairly neat, there were a lot of things piled up. The small money bag was on top, inconspicuous at all. It reminded him of the magic of putting down the money bag.
Master, I just hope that what happens next will not cause too much turmoil. Otherwise, I will be guilty of helping the magician.
Lin, who returned to the hotel, of course told the information he had obtained. Uzov, who also came back, also told similar things, but the difference was that he did not have clear information that he would have to contact all the nobles in Abadan City for help.
The enemy. However, seeing someone's confident appearance, Totokani, who was most afraid of trouble, asked: "Sir, do you have a peaceful solution?"
Listening to the goblin's emphasis on a 'peaceful' solution, Lin felt funny for a while. But he still said seriously: "Don't worry, I didn't do anything too drastic. But I did think of a way to solve this problem.
Of course, we also need everyone’s help.”
Some people asked what they wanted to help, and some asked what the solution was. Everyone was talking so much that Lin didn't know who to answer for a while.
In the end, the Lich couldn't stand the noisy situation and was imprisoned for eternity. Everyone was quiet, including the man who was supposed to answer...
We had no choice but to release the restrictions. Fortunately, no one dared to continue making noise.
Someone thought for a while and then said with a smile: "If there are only one or two enemies, it may be more difficult. But if the opponents are a group of people, then the best way to deal with the mob is to scare them. So I want to ask everyone
The thing is to confirm which people are nobles with status. Hey, don’t look at me with that kind of suspicion or gloating eyes, I said that if you don’t go on a killing spree, you won’t go on a killing spree.”
