Chapter 826 5 Level Zero Secret Orders (Update 811)
Zi Di said in a serious tone: "But at that time, we will have no choice but to refuse."
"After all, the captain of the dragon uniform is only a silver-level fighter."
"So even if you refuse, it won't damage your reputation too much."
Of course, reputation will be lost, and the people of the Ice Sculpture look down upon those who are afraid of war.
However, the Silver level versus the Gold level can be considered excusable.
If you are gold-level, once you avoid fighting, it will be a fatal blow to your reputation. Here in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, it is definitely a social death. Even mortals will strongly despise this.
Zi Di, Zong Ge has been in the kingdom for a long time and has a good understanding of the folk customs here.
Once the "dragon suit" gives up or is defeated, it will definitely have a huge negative impact on the potion business.
Zong Ge said noncommittally: "The Thirteenth Prince is not a suitable candidate, but the Seventh Prince may be worth contacting."
Zidi and Zongge have discussed this before. With the communication channel at Ziteng Store unavailable, the current measure they are taking is to wait in the capital and use the national code to find suitable high-level targets in the empire for contact.
From the intelligence point of view, Nanjiro's personality is not very good. But his personal connections are strong.
The seven immortal blessings on him are the best evidence.
If you make friends with the Seventh Master, you can at least have good relations with the seven sects of the Shengming Empire.
While Zidi and Zong Ge were discussing matters, they were deep underground in the Ice Sculpture Capital, in the Ten Thousand Years Ice Lake.
The magic ship Skate, disguised as a huge ice block, was drifting quietly.
Elder Yuanci was in the captain's cabin, watching the scenes of magical images.
There are many alchemists in these images, as well as the magic ships they drive or the alchemy puppets they control.
Without exception, these mages are withdrawing.
But Elder Yuanci's face was ugly.
Because just when these alchemists were evacuating, Elder Yuanci received a message.
The message was conveyed through a secret channel. It was both an invitation and an ultimatum to some extent. Elder Yuan Ci was very familiar with and disgusted with the sender of the message.
His interpretation was that the news was true.
"This is trouble."
"I thought there was still a lot of time left for me."
"Now it seems that we must open the Wisteria Secret as soon as possible."
To open the Wisteria Secret, you need 5 zero-level Wisteria Secret Tokens.
Elder Yuan Ci did the math and found that he himself had one, the sender had one, and the new ghost vine (Zidi) had one. There were already three.
The sender has already contacted another secret order owner, and what he needs to do is to rescue the owner of the fifth secret order, a prisoner who is currently being imprisoned.
"Stone tumor...you old guy, I didn't expect that I would have to save you in the end."
"However, relying on my strength alone, it is still a bit reluctant to rescue him."
"It's just a good time to contact Gui Teng and invite him to join us in the attack. We also take the opportunity to clarify his true camp."
After Zidi and Zongge separated, they got in touch with Elder Yuanci.
After she clarified the identity of the imperial spy, she gained a lot of trust in Elder Yuan Ci.
Elder Yuanci directly explained his intention, which caused Zidi's consternation.
"You mean, the ultimate elder of the Alchemy Guild is also one of the elders of our Chamber of Commerce?"
Zidi never thought that the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce also had connections in the Alchemy Guild of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom and was still so powerful.
You must know that someone who can become an elder of the Alchemy Guild is absolutely extraordinary. Even an honorary elder cannot be underestimated.
Elder Yuan Ci said: "When our Chamber of Commerce was at its strongest, we had shops in the key cities of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom and had business dealings with the royal family."
"When we first launched the injection sect on Ice Sculpture Island, we recruited him. We funded his promotion to the elder of the Alchemy Guild, and he also gave back with all his strength, helping the Chamber of Commerce to stabilize its foothold here and open up the situation."
"After the Chamber of Commerce was reorganized, Jiu Jin was not liquidated because he was more inclined to the Ice Sculpture Kingdom. He still served as his guild elder. He even took the opportunity to launch a rebellion and annexed many of the Chamber of Commerce's assets."
Zidi's face darkened: "So, he is a traitor."
Elder Yuanci said: "It depends on how you see it. At least, that's what I think. But there are also some people who think that there is nothing wrong with doing this after all. He himself is just a cooperative relationship, mutual benefit, and he has done it.
Feedback to the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce. As for annexing the assets of the Chamber of Commerce...if he doesn't do it, others will naturally do it. As the saying goes, if the money doesn't flow to others, wouldn't it be better if our own people eat it?"
Zidi heard the implication: "So, he still has supporters in the current chamber of commerce? Who is it?"
Elder Yuanci said: "It's Congmang."
"Who is Congmang?"
"The leader of the Vegetable Basket Pirates, he is a druid, but he also practices fighting spirit and is proficient in stick skills."
"In the beginning, the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce opened maritime trade routes and dealt with pirates. He was handpicked by the president himself. We funded him and helped him grow his own power, leading him to join the Firebeard Pirates.
He maintained several important maritime trade routes."
Zidi was surprised again: "I didn't expect that the Chamber of Commerce would have such an arrangement at sea."
Elder Yuan Ci chuckled: "Many business channels are laid out secretly and will not be recorded. On the surface, the accounts of our chamber of commerce are clean."
"The president and other elders, including me, are very careful about this."
"Unfortunately, when the higher-ups of the empire want to take action against us, they will not look at these proofs of innocence."
Zidi roughly understood.
After all, Cong Mang is an important partner cultivated by the Chamber of Commerce when it expands business overseas. Therefore, their attitude towards the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce is relatively close, and there will never be an emotional basis like fat tongue. When the Chamber of Commerce is reorganized, it is accurate to
If it is said to be in decline, they have no loyalty at all.
Elder Yuan Ci said: "You need 5 zero-level secret orders to open the Wisteria Secret. Now you and I have two copies. After all, Congmang has two copies, and there is one left. We need to work together to rob the prison and rescue the stone tumor. He also has zero
Level Secret Order."
"Who is the stone tumor?" Zidi found that she knew almost nothing about the people in her chamber of commerce.
Elder Yuanci did not hide anything, because he would need Zidi's full cooperation later. This was the time when he needed to show his sincerity: "Shi Tu is an earth elemental body, a magneto-earth element to be precise. Why does he have zero
I don’t know the specific reason for the secret order. It was given to him personally by the old president at that time.”
"Why was he imprisoned and where was he imprisoned?" Zidi asked.
Elder Yuan Ci sighed: "He comes from the Magnetic Islands. You may have heard of this island group, which involves two treasures. People have been exploring and searching for this, but they have not been able to obtain it for thousands of years. This is of course not the focus of our attention. But
It is said that Shizhao once came into contact with part of the treasure, and he grasped the key clues."
Zidi thought for a while: "In this way, we have indeed collected all 5 zero-level secret orders. But how can we cooperate?"
"To be honest, what I want to do most right now is to find Miss Zidi."
"If this thing takes too much time, involves my energy, takes too much risk, and I don't have much allocated to it, I won't do it."
Zidi takes retreat as a way to advance, wanting to spy on more information.
Elder Yuan Ci said: "The time is quite tight."
"This is also the information that the guy told me after he contacted me."
"The arrangements have been made in the kingdom for many years. It started when the current king took the throne. It was not officially concluded until this year. The information was leaked and allowed to be heard by the investigators."
"The royal family is so generous that they have built a super magic circle in the Wannian Ice Lake. If this magic circle is activated, it will greatly increase the royal family's supervision and defense of the Wannian Ice Lake."
"Therefore, I am particularly worried that if I miss this time period, it will be very troublesome or even impossible to secretly dig out the secrets of Wisteria in the future."
Only then did Zidi know the whole story.
She frowned: "How do you know about my existence?"
Elder Yuanci: "He doesn't know. He just agreed with me that the distribution of the Wisteria Secrets is somewhat related to the secret order we invited."
"The two of us have the biggest advantage and will put in the most effort. Of course we have to occupy a large share. Next are Cong Mang, Ghost Teng, and Stone Tumor. It depends on how much contribution you make in this excavation.
.”
"Don't worry, we will conduct further discussions in advance and sign a contract that cannot be violated."
"Of course, the premise is that we can recruit 5 secret order owners."
"That's it." Zidi responded and then fell into deep thought.
Elder Yuan Ci didn't rush him and waited quietly.
What Zidi was thinking was: she didn't need to rescue Shi Tu at all. She had already learned from Elder Yuanci that as Zidi, the only daughter of the old president, her zero-level secret order could be worth three copies.
In her plan: she, Fat Tongue and Yuan Ci have already collected 5 portions. There is no need to go into detail, Cong Mang, and the stone tumor.
Therefore, she had previously ordered Fat Tongue to come from Snowbird Port.
But plans can't keep up with changes.
"Elder Yuanci cannot be completely trusted yet."
"The best thing is to contact the investigation and make a face-to-face judgment. At the same time, we should also try to verify it from other aspects."
"I can't tell them my true identity. Maybe I can use this to my advantage."
"After all, he is the elder of the Alchemy Guild. If you want to open the secret, you will probably need his official cover."
"Congmang himself is very powerful and is a member of the Firebeard Pirates. If you leave him behind, you will probably anger him and cause even greater trouble."
"Stone Tumor... To rescue him, we have to take risks."
After thinking for a moment, Zidi said to Elder Yuanci through the communication device: "Yes, I am inclined to cooperate with you."
"But before that, I need to talk to Elder Zhenjin and Captain Congmang in person."
Elder Yuan Ci said: "I understand, and I will help you contact and track down that old guy."
"But Cong Mang is still on his way here. You may not be able to see him until you and I cooperate and rescue the stone tumor."
Zidi frowned: "He is a member of the Fire Beard Pirates. Isn't it easy to sneak into the Ice Sculpture Island rashly?"
Elder Yuan Ci nodded: "It is the time for the National Ice Sculpture Ceremony, and the whole country is heavily defended. It is indeed not easy."
"But this time, Dahan, the fourth leader of the Firebeard Pirates, also came here. He is a saint-level existence, and he also has a saint-level demon pet. Therefore, Congmang is safe with him. The Kingdom
The navy can't do anything to him."
"And after he lands on the island, the local snake will naturally be responsible for taking care of him. So there is a high probability that we can meet smoothly."
