"You want to know the general situation of the territory? Of course."
As she spoke, Leah took out a map from under the table, unfolded it, and placed it in front of Ander's eyes.
"Lord Rhodes's rule covers the entire Vilning. Even some areas in Diya actively surrender to Lord Rhodes. Among them, Saou City is the most important existence and is also Lord Rhodes' main city.
"Leah's fingers crossed the map, making a rustling sound.
Ender nodded solemnly, Rhodes' control was greater than he expected.
"There are three mineral veins under development around Saou City, an iron mine, a silver mine, and a crystal mine. Under the undead creatures digging day and night, the silver mine is about to be exhausted. Despite this, those ores
It is still not enough to meet the needs of Saou City. In addition to other city lords in Verning regularly providing ore, we will also purchase large quantities from the Freelancer Chamber of Commerce."
"Do you have corresponding records?" Ander asked proactively.
Leah nodded, and soon, the corpse witch who was sorting out the classics brought over dozens of parchments, which contained transaction records about ores.
Ender quickly checked the contents on the parchment, and slowly, he frowned: "Strange..."
"What's wrong?" Leah asked proactively.
"You built a large golem factory?" Ender asked.
Leah shook her head: "No, why do you ask?"
"If it weren't for the Golem Factory, the size of Isao City shouldn't be able to digest these ores." Ender analyzed. He pulled out a parchment and looked at the contents carefully. "According to the date above, two
Months ago, the amount of ore you imported dropped sharply, so that it meets the limit level of Saou City. Did you transport that ore to other places?"
Listening to Ander's analysis, Leah's expression changed slightly. She did not tell Ender that the ores were not all purchased for Saou City, but also included the part needed to develop the water elemental plane. p>
Two months ago, it was the time when Lord Rhodes discovered that the Elemental Lord had awakened, stopped the development of the island, and organized the evacuation of the creatures there. This was also the reason why the amount of ore purchased dropped sharply. Without the consumption of the island, Saou
The city itself can't use all those ores.
Seeing Leah's embarrassed look, Ander said proactively: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask this question."
"No, since you joined Saou City, you have the right to know all this." Leah shook her head, ready to tell the truth.
"...You'd better stop talking." This time, it was Ender who was in trouble. Regarding the secrets of the City of the Dead, he just asked casually, not wanting to get to the bottom of it. The more he knew, the more difficult it would be to escape.
, this was not the result he wanted to see. From Leah's dilemma, he vaguely realized that it might not be a good thing.
Unfortunately, Leah did not see his thoughts, but said: "Lord Rhodes' territory transcends space and extends to an alien plane full of oceans. Those extra ores are just to develop that
It’s a pity that the project stopped two months ago, and the ocean woke up.”
Ender hesitated to speak, was Leah talking about the water elemental plane? That Rhodes actually extended his hand to another plane? What does the ocean mean when it wakes up?
Seeing that Leah might not be able to escape if she continued talking, Ander quickly interrupted her: "Why don't you show me the other transaction records? These are just the part about the ore."
Hearing this, Leah did not refuse. From Ender's previous performance, she also saw Ender's talent, and then asked the Corpse Witch not far away to bring over a heavy tome.
"This is all the financial records of Saou City, including the previous ore information, which are all recorded in detail."
Putting the classics on the long table, Leah was just about to explain to Ender the corresponding contents of each area, and Ender couldn't wait to read through it.
"Did you copy all the contents above?" As he looked at it, Ander seemed to have discovered something and asked proactively.
Seeing Leah nodded, Ander continued: "Have you worked in the Freelance Chamber of Commerce? These accounts are clearly organized, and the symbols that refer to goods are also commonly used within the chamber of commerce. Only people in the chamber of commerce can use them skillfully." p>
"That was what happened in the past." Leah showed a look of recollection, "I left the Freelance Chamber of Commerce after Noah was born, and when he was reborn, I officially served Lord Rhodes."<
/p>
Ender seemed to have thought of something: "Where's Noah's father? I don't think I've ever heard you mention this."
Leah sighed: "He left, saying that he wanted to imitate Lord Rhodes and gain strength and power."
"So, he is pursuing his own value, which is a good thing, isn't it? We all have..."
Just in the middle of Ender's words, he was interrupted by Leah: "For what it's worth, he never appeared next to Noah. Maybe he would have died long ago, just like those undead creatures. If I could
If I see him again, I will kick his ass hard."
Seeing Leah's strong reaction, Ander wisely did not say anything more, but carefully browsed the accounts in his hand.
Slowly, Ender's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and his turning of pages became slower. He had confirmed the content of each page many times. When he found that he had not missed any key items, Ender couldn't help but take a breath.
Air conditioning.
"With all due respect...Lord Rhodes, is he planning to start a war?"
Closing the financial records in his hand, Ender's expression changed several times, and finally he squeezed out this sentence through his teeth.
"Maybe, how do I know?" Leah spread her hands.
"Of course you should know." Andre said with a lifeless look, "You are in charge of the finances, which is equivalent to being in charge of the mouthpiece of Saou City. No one knows every move in the city better than you. Saou City has recently consumed a lot of reserves.
Gold coins to purchase war resources, doesn’t it arouse your vigilance?”
Leah looked confused: "Even so, it doesn't mean anything. There are a lot of traces of demons all over the world. Maybe Lord Rhodes is preparing to resist the demons."
"If that's the case, why did he spend millions of gold coins to buy space gems?" Ender opened the classics in his hand, pointed to one of them and asked, "This is a trick commonly used by mages.
Build a teleportation monument to strengthen control over the occupied land. However, even so, these space gems are too many...Does he have other plans?"
Seeing Ander frowning and falling into deep confusion, Leah couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that the interior hall of Saou City would undergo new changes because of his arrival.
