Chapter 232 Intelligence
In the hall of White Castle.
Lin Qiu curled up on the throne, a piece of paper hanging in front of him.
Looking at the data on the paper, Lin Qiu frowned: Gurgaru, why was the tax revenue of Kasos Trade City so low last year?
Sir, last year, the civil war in the country entered a decisive stage. Most of the trade routes were blocked by the war. The luxury goods exported by Cassos to other kingdoms on the mainland decreased by 40%.
HKEM............
Lin Qiu recalled the exploration of the civil war in the Kingdom of Rohr. The royal family of Rohrbans and four princes participated in the fight for the throne. The battle for the throne entered the final stage. Both sides killed each other. The war was unprecedentedly fierce and brought serious disaster to the Kingdom of Rohr.
Just three days ago, the two heroic Guardians, who had remained neutral since the beginning of the war, intervened and offered the two princes a duel for the throne, which ended in victory for Count Dumbledore's nephew. The civil war lasted for five years.
Oh, this damn war is finally over and my lovely little coffers are sure to be filled again.
Hearing Master Lin Zu's complaint, Gurgel lowered his head and lowered his sense of presence.
At this time, the ogre guards came in.
Master, there is a group of strange adventurers outside who are eager to see you. Should we let them in?
Strange adventurer?
Lin Qiu thought of the Forgotten adventurer force he recruited. It had been almost a year, but there was still no news. Lin Qiu thought that their mission had failed and they died in Kumlinger.
Let them in.
Of course, the Forgotten adventure team came in.
Mogesang said gloomily: Good afternoon, Mr. Lin Qiu, the task you gave us has been completed. This is the result of the reconnaissance of the ruins.
With the help of the mage, Lin Qiu took the report from the dark elf priest, glanced at it casually, and then started reading.
Okay, although you came a little late, the agreement between us is still valid. You are now a formal member of the White Fortress. You will be allowed to move freely within the White Fortress's sphere of influence. You can also report to the White Fortress when you encounter trouble. White Fortress asks for help.
The corresponding obligation is that you cannot refuse the mission of the White Fortress. The income earned during the mission will belong to the White Fortress. During the period when there is no mission, you can travel freely. 70% of the income earned will belong to you. There will be no more than 3 mandatory missions per year. , do you have any questions?
The priest of the dark elf led the team, bent down and greeted: No more, thank you for your kindness.
Mogtan Eclipse frowned and thought for a while.
Mr. Lin Xiu, this time in Kumlin, we discovered an abnormal situation.
O?Tell me.
Our team accidentally discovered a secret passage leading directly to the Shadow Zone. We entered it to investigate and found a village of gray dwarves, but there was something wrong with the residents. They looked like puppets, which scared us. , hurriedly retreated.
Lin Qiu's eyes lit up. Forging has always been a pain point for Baibao. Every year, Baibao sells a large amount of iron ore raw materials, and then spends a large amount of gold coins to purchase finished iron products. The pain and sorrow in this process is naturally self-evident.
Moreover, gold coins are still secondary. The lifeblood of weapons and equipment is in other people's hands. This has always been the part that Lin Qiu feels distressed about.
If the gray dwarves can be conquered, this disease that adheres to White Castle will be completely eliminated. In turn, weapons and equipment can even be exported to the people.
The equipment made by dwarves has always had a good reputation, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it.
Carefully remember the specific location of the entrance, the location of the gray dwarf village, and relevant information about the gray dwarves themselves.
After a while, the members of the Forsaken adventure party wrote down all their memories of the Twilight Land and compiled them into a rich book.
Master Lin Qiu read the collected information carefully and found that the entrance to the passage in the center of Kumlingel was beyond the reach of the White Castle monster army, but Kumlingel would be controlled by Lin Qiu sooner or later, and Lin Qiu would not Eager for success.
But Lin Qiu discovered an interesting situation: According to the adventurer's description, the eyes of the gray dwarf farmers were dull, and the movements of the hoe were mechanically repetitive "like a puppet."
Very good, the information you provided is very valuable. You will be able to enter the warehouse of the White Fortress in a while, and each of you can choose a magic item as a reward.
The Forgotten adventurer team was stunned for a moment. They did not expect that they and others would be rewarded with magic items. This was nothing at first. It was just given by the giant monster. This was not appropriate. They felt the pain of the master of the White Fortress again. Be different.
Thank you for your generosity.
Well, White Fortress has always been a place with clear rewards and punishments. The greater the value you create, the better the rewards you will get.
Yes, master, we will work hard to create more value for you.
Very well, Gurgaru, take them down to receive their reward.
Follow your wishes.
The Lord of the White Realm was alone with the dragon in the hall of the White Keep. He lay on his throne and thought about the situation in the Twilight Land.
There is no doubt that these gray dwarves control the situation.
I just don’t know what they were controlled by and by what means, because in this wonderful world of magic, there are too many kinds of powers that can do such things.
But only a few people living underground can do this, such as the demon guides who use psychic power, the Demon Eye clan who are good at spiritual spells, and of course there may be cruel dwarf princes who are good at psychic power, or some unspeakable evil.
Lin Qiu first eliminated the latter two options: No matter how evil the gray dwarf prince is, he cannot use mental means to control his kind, because he himself (is he good) is the ruler of the gray dwarves, and there is no need for this.
On the other hand, the possibility of the latter is too small, even smaller than the possibility of winning the lottery in China Blue Star.
But no matter what creature is behind the gray dwarf, it will not be too powerful, nor will it exceed the hero level.
Because once it reaches a high hero level, its control will undoubtedly allow the gray dwarves to disguise themselves smoothly, instead of being discovered by a few high-level adventurers who would know something is wrong at a glance.
Lin Qiu thought about this and what he could do with this information.
If it were other methods, Lin Qiu might not say it, but [Skeleton Dart] is the nemesis of this kind of mental spell. Moreover, the enemy is clear and we are hidden, and Lin Qiu can't find a reason not to do it.
Lin Qiu stood up. He planned to explore what it was first. If the creature was too weak, he did not recommend solving it with his own hands. He stuffed the gray dwarf into his pocket. .
