It turns out that the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group had already taken precautions against the assassin's invasion.
Previously, the dragon boy accepted the warm invitation of the city lord and learned from him about the existence of Huatang and the secret connection between the Bayonet Gang leader Fujituro and Huatang.
The dragon boy immediately took this key information to heart and immediately collected information about Huatang.
After the survivors learned the information about Huatang, they began to prepare for the worst.
Zong Ge withdrew his eyes from the information in his hand and looked at Zidi: "Obviously, Huatang is not an ordinary gold-level thief. With such a record, his bloodline must be extraordinary. Gold level is not his limit.
"
"It's hard for a warrior like me to defend against him."
"I think magic and alchemy are more likely."
Zidi showed a wry smile: "I am just a bronze-level mage. It is basically impossible to rely on setting up spell traps to protect against legendary figures like Huatang."
"As for other alchemy methods... It is difficult for us to even make silver-level alchemy equipment now. Because we got the magic agate bathtub, our pharmaceutical ability has been greatly improved. I can refine some targeted potions for
Be on guard.”
"But you need to understand: to deal with such an opponent, gold-level potions can be effective. Gold-level... This exceeds the upper limit of our current pharmaceutical capabilities. There is no shortage of prescriptions, but there will definitely be a gap in alchemy materials. In a short time,
I have no way of estimating how much time it will take to collect all the medicinal materials we need."
At this point, Zidi changed the subject.
"Compared to this flower hall, I care more about the attitude of the Lord of Snowbird Port."
"According to our information, the Lord City Lord has never had any conflicts with the Bayonet Gang since he took office."
"Is he really going to deal with the Bayonet Gang?"
"Is there a possibility that he has already reached a secret interest relationship with the Bayonet Gang? Is he the Bayonet Gang's biggest ally in Snowbird Harbor?"
"According to the policy of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, the position of the city lord is rotated. Snowbird Port is one of the eight major ports in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom and is a very important city. Counting the time, the city lord will not be in office for long. He is really willing
Are you taking the risk to deal with local snakes like the Bayonet Gang?"
The young man Long nodded, with a solemn look on his face: "If this is the case, then the city lord's invitation to me is the prelude to the Bayonet Gang's attack on us, and it is a trap set by them."
Zidi continued: "If the Lord of Snowbird Harbor really wants to deal with the Bayonet Gang, we can't be careless."
"Since he has been able to endure it for so many years, he is obviously a very sophisticated person."
"What exactly is his plan for outsiders like us?"
"Will he be cruel to us after we have made a lot of efforts and sacrifices to win the final victory?"
"Is his attitude resolute in dealing with the Bayonet Gang?"
"Once the situation changes, will he stab us in the back and give up on us? Use us to sell off the Bayonet Gang?"
Although Zidi is young, she has rich experience.
Especially recently, she learned some secrets about her father and the difficult years of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce.
She has a deeper understanding of the deceitfulness of human nature and how to take precautions against it.
The dragon boy recognized Zidi's analysis very much.
This is also his hidden worry.
Although the young man is a believer in justice, it does not mean that he will trust outsiders unconditionally. Especially since it was his first meeting with the Lord of Snowbird Port.
The dragon boy looked at the survivors around him and asked for their opinions: "Tell me what you think."
After everyone looked at each other for a while, San Dao spoke first.
"Everyone knows that I was once the leader of a mercenary group."
"Based on my previous status, this is a very rare opportunity."
"It is very difficult for a mercenary group to take root in a city. Especially for outsiders like us, arriving in such a city."
"Snowbird Port has been developing for a long time and is full of people from all walks of life."
"Even if the heroic duel between you and Fujituro, captain, is a good one, it will only gain a foothold for the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group."
"If it were me, I would take the risk!"
"Such an opportunity may never come across to a normal mercenary group in a lifetime."
"Besides, according to what we discussed before, we are likely to stay in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom for a while."
"Even if the ransom note is sent, it will still take some time for negotiations and the exchange of hostages."
"The Ice Sculpture Kingdom is a neutral country. Even if our secret on the Mysterious Island is discovered, and the empire's pursuit team wants to capture us here, they must also consider the feelings of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom."
"No matter what the final result of the Atonement Plan is, we all need to race against time to turn what we have gained along the way into our strength. Only in a place like the Ice Sculpture Kingdom can we have sufficient resources to help us achieve this transformation.
."
The dragon boy nodded, approving San Dao's words.
Huge islands like the Ice Sculpture Kingdom are rare.
It’s not that giant islands are rare. It’s that the Ice Sculpture Kingdom has been developing for thousands of years and has very abundant resources.
It is an independent kingdom on the vast sea, able to be self-sufficient, and many of the alchemy products it refines are sold all over the world.
After San Dao finished speaking, Lan Zao said: "No matter what the attitude and intentions of the Lord of Snowbird Harbor are, it is a real benefit for him to provide us with a large amount of resources."
"We can completely drag and acquire a large amount of alchemy materials and gold-level equipment through his channels."
Seeing that the topic had reached this point, Zidi interrupted: "There is one thing I need to remind you. No matter what you buy, there are risks."
"There are also golden equipment."
"There are many incidents in the market of counterfeiting gold-level equipment, selling them at high prices, and making illegal profits."
"We need to have the means to detect these equipment. Unfortunately, we don't have it at the moment. We really need a qualified alchemist."
"It's actually quite acceptable to buy fakes. If the equipment we buy is tampered with, or if some monitoring device is installed, our situation will be very passive."
Zidi paused and continued: "At present, the alchemy materials purchased are relatively safe."
"Because the amount of alchemy materials we purchased is very large. People with ulterior motives will try to manipulate it, and it will be difficult to choose the right target."
"The requirements for checking alchemy materials are much lower than checking equipment."
"The consequences of manipulating alchemy materials are also relatively minor. Even if we don't detect it, at most it will only be a failure when we refine potions or equipment. Because the other party doesn't know what we are trying to achieve and cannot.
Be targeted.”
"But those golden equipment are different."
"We want to buy gold equipment, and it is obviously aimed at Fujituro. If the city lord colludes with them, they may end up tampering with these equipment."
"You can imagine what the situation would be like once the captain's golden equipment was in trouble during the duel with Fujituro."
"So even if we purchase a large amount of gold equipment, we must pay more attention when using it."
After Zidi finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while.
Bai Ya mustered up the courage to express her opinion: "In this case, I, I have an idea."
"We have deception and camouflage and anti-reconnaissance prophecy, and we can fully use them. We can add these two spells to those reconnaissance alchemy puppets."
"It can also be added to those trigger-type spell traps."
"If someone sneaks in, they will definitely not be able to find them. On the contrary, they will be detected by us, or they will encounter a trigger trap and trigger an alarm."
"This way, we can detect the intruder."
Bai Ya was born as a hunter, and building traps was one of his thinking habits.
He kept his head down while talking, and when he was done, he raised his head uneasily to observe the reactions of others.
Then, he saw the dragon boy and Zidi smiling at him.
