Shado came to Severton early, and after meeting Badigal, he and a great arcanist named "Puman" went to the place agreed with Hildalanna.
On the eastern border of Yeerlan, in a primitive jungle, a flash of inspiration first appeared, and then a field of perception spread out in all directions like mercury leaking out.
After discovering a familiar figure, the perception field immediately disappeared, and then a portal opened not far from the figure, and Sha Duo and Puman walked out of it.
Seeing the two of them, Hildalanna frowned for a moment, then asked: "Are you two just there? Didn't Badigal come?"
"Just the two of us, isn't it enough?" Xia Duo said with a smile.
As for Badigal, he had no choice but to take action in Ascol before. Now that there is room for change, how could Badigal do it himself?
This is not a question of whether it is dangerous or not, but a question of status. The head of a country will never be the first to charge forward in everything, so what is the use of having his subordinates.
"Just two people, I hope you two can cooperate as much as possible."
Hildalanna quickly accepted the reality. In fact, having more people is not necessarily better. The key is to see the strength. If you lead a group of weak people, it is better to give up the action!
"no problem."
Then, Xia Duo briefly introduced Puman to Hilda Lanna. This can all be said. After all, Badigal did not introduce much about Puman. Even the name Puman was somewhat authentic.
Most of them are a bit skeptical.
"Is the target this time around here?" Sha Duo asked.
"Of course not. If they were around here, the movements when you came just now would have alerted each other."
Hildalanna shook her head, then pointed, creating a phantom map between the two sides, with the lower right corner highlighted.
"I wonder how much you two know about the Anse Mountains in southeast Yeerland?"
"Anse Mountains?"
Sha Duo quickly searched his mind, and then gave his answer, "I only know that the Ansai Mountains are the actual dividing line between Yeerlan and Salvin. I don't know much about the rest."
"First of all, the Anse Mountains are the territory of Yeerland. It was only in order to express the friendship and connection between the two countries that the first crown prince gave the actual control of the area south of the Flanders Peak to Salvin."
Hildalanna explained expressionlessly, and quickly brought up the important point, "Due to various factors, neither country chose to actually control the Ansai Mountains. They only set up a number of observation posts nearby, so it is one of the few places in Yeerland.
, an area that is almost completely unsupervised by Mystery Locks.”
"I see."
Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. At first, he thought he would go deep into the territory of Yeerlan, but in that case, he would have to deal with the Mystic Lock. If Hildalanna really wanted to start with some tricks, it would be easy for her to do so.
He was in dire straits.
Even if the two parties signed a spell contract in advance, it may not be safe. Sha Duo personally experienced the entire process of the contract between Badigal and Hildalanna. He knew very well that the breach of contract penalty spell that came with the contract and was jointly blessed by both parties was certainly very powerful.
Very intimidating, but not fatal.
This alone is enough for Xia Duo to fully consider the possibility of the other party breaking the contract.
Now that he heard that the target was located in the Ansai Mountains, a zone between the two countries, although the possibility of Hildalanna breaking the contract could not be ruled out, without the supervision and control of the Mystery Lock, Sha Duo felt that he was not afraid of any traps.
Not to mention, there are Brod and even Iolum behind him who can support him at any time.
…
Then, Hildalanna continued to introduce the goal of this operation, "Since there is no mysterious lock supervision in the Ansai Mountains, many smugglers and wanted criminals are hiding there, and even building secret strongholds. Of course, there are many of them.
There are spies from both countries, normal businessmen, or reclusive spellcasters, so we still need to be careful during this trip."
"Is the target completely hidden, or is there some kind of disguised identity?"
"Using the identity of Lyle Chamber of Commerce, I visited a supply base."
"Lyle Chamber of Commerce?"
Xia Duo recalled it carefully and confirmed that he had never heard of this name before.
In this regard, Hildalanna explained: "The Lyle Chamber of Commerce is a small chamber of commerce in the southeast of Yeerland, mainly engaged in grain trade in the direction of Salvin.
"The teleportation circle or portal may not be a problem for large chambers of commerce, but for small chambers of commerce, it is an unbearable burden, not to mention that grain trade is mainly about volume, and the profit margin is extremely low.
"They chose to use pack animals to transport across the Ansai Mountains. In recent years, they have almost saved enough funds and will soon be able to build multi-terminal storage warehouses. This is how large chambers of commerce usually develop. Of course, this is a digression."
"Is there any problem with this Lyle Chamber of Commerce?" Xia Duo asked again.
"There is nothing wrong with the Lisle Chamber of Commerce itself, at least according to the results of my investigation."
Hildalana initially thought that the Lyle Chamber of Commerce was a mysterious organization, but after careful investigation by her (herself and her subordinates), it was found that the Lyle Chamber of Commerce was just an ordinary chamber of commerce.
If there was really a mysterious organization behind it, it wouldn't be impossible to build a multi-terminal storage warehouse.
But regardless of whether the Lyle Chamber of Commerce is related to the mysterious organization or not, their rise will probably take a hit after this incident.
However, Hildalanna has no sympathy at all. For the upper-class families, the lower families and small chambers of commerce are completely targeted for regular harvest.
If it hasn't been harvested yet, there's only one reason - the opponent is too weak.
Generally, upper-level families will accept the affiliation of a large number of small families and small chambers of commerce, but they will not manage them at all, nor will they order them to do anything, and they will not even need to pay tribute.
Only when they develop to a certain size are they eligible to be harvested. Of course, harvesting does not mean elimination. What is harvested is the opponent's development potential, such as specialty products, technology, treasures, talents, channels, etc.
In Yeerlan, if a small family wants to develop into a big family, or even a high-ranking family that truly rules Yeerlan, there is basically only one option, and that is to work for the high-ranking family.
It is not until you have made enough achievements to obtain a complete set of supreme magic inheritance that you have the prerequisite to become a high-ranking family. After that, you have to cultivate high-ranking mages for generations, and you have the foundation of a high-ranking family.
The next step is to gain recognition from other high-ranking families. If you don't get recognition, even if you have the strength of a high-ranking family, is it still worth the sum of all the high-ranking families?
Of course, in reality, it would take thousands of years to achieve the strength of a high-ranking family, and the family that could survive so many years without dying out would probably be a high-ranking family.
Even if it is not, it can still be recognized by the upper-class family to a certain extent.
