Chapter 1504 Core Objective
To this day, if the good guys are allowed to evaluate the secret service of the Violet Empire, that is, an organized and structured special work system, then anyone who pays more attention to the situation on the mainland or the internal affairs of the Violet Empire , they would blurt out without thinking about the [Female Bee] established by the regent.
Although she has been inconspicuous in the past ten years, the [Female Bee] has already stood on the stage and has become a reputable sharp blade in the hands of His Highness Hugh Blaise. It cleans up all the filth within the empire with incredible efficiency, or is defined as filth by the regent.
If the regent at this moment has dominated the day of the Violet Empire, and other lords are embracing the coming dusk, then the elusive and omnipresent [Female Bee] is the ruler of the night.
The night is not scary, but the night that is absolutely loyal to the day is enough to scare anyone with evil intentions.
Under Xiu's instructions, those ubiquitous bee stingers took just a few months to wipe out all the forces that had shown clear hostility to the Violet family throughout the empire. Even the old Emperor Clerval had to give some thin-faced people, and a few months ago they could still show off in front of the Prince Regent. One or two of them would disappear every day when the sun rose, and they would never appear again.
In this way, after hundreds of years of precipitation, the various factions, led by the first eight lords of Violet, and gradually developing into the Griffin Dynasty, became like clouds in just a few months. It was generally dissipated, but the nutrients contained in it were filling the 'treasury' not belonging to the Violet family, but to the entire empire at an extremely fast speed.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the regent was willing, he could even use money to beat Duke Hussein to death. Of course, he did not choose to do this, but would not hesitate to use these just The accumulation that passed through the hands was squandered in a short period of time, benefiting the citizens of the empire through various channels, and almost doubled the happiness index of the vast majority of the citizens.
The world belongs to those who win people's hearts. Water can carry a boat or capsize it. This saying is really very common. Like all wise sayings, it is so common that just hearing this statement makes you feel a sting. The earthy smell in the nose.
The reason why famous quotes are famous is that they are correct and reliable in most cases.
The regent is not Mu Xuejian. In his opinion, as long as it is a method that can help him achieve his goal, it doesn't matter how low its intrinsic fashion value is, as long as it is easy to use.
It is worth mentioning that the beneficiaries we just mentioned are 'citizens' rather than 'subjects'. In other words, no matter whether it is in the imperial capital Salamoun as the center The inner circle of power of the Violet family, or the leaders outside that? In the name of the Violet Royal Family, the regent has provided a lot of support, including but not limited to people's livelihood, and even made others think that the brother was crazy. After all, even if the national treasury has indeed strengthened a lot, he still insists on this method of defeating him. Not a few years.
To give a random example, the Hussein family, which was the richest in the era of the Eight Lords, the total money they spent on their own people in the previous twenty years was not as strong as the regent's support this time.
Of course, not to mention other people, anyone who has experienced the previous turmoil will not think that Hugh Blaise is a saint with a somewhat serious head. On the contrary, everyone is very It is clear that His Highness will never do anything detrimental to himself, and his moral level will never be high.
After that, time has indeed proven this. Take the current time as an example, first of all, the public opinion in the Violet Empire has gradually begun to tilt towards the royal family, and then the first level was The second level is "teaching people how to fish" and the fifth level is "absorbing labor force". After the end of the production support, an average of more than 40% of the residents in the Violet territories have begun to work for "state-owned enterprises". Since it is complicated to elaborate, we might as well understand it as "the fields where violets are planted in Hussein's territory" ', 'Catch fish for Violet on the seaside of Dantes', 'Feed Violet's horses on the ranch of Baroka'.
And all this was due to the fact that the Marshall family had just been destroyed and everyone was sharing the cake. The regent made a concession under pressure, that is, he agreed to allow other families to exchange for market shares in some areas and reduce the actual control of Violet, which has the smallest territory here. The proportion of sharing in the gluttony.
In this regard, Her Royal Highness Fairy Graham, the Saint of Fortune who is the most unwilling to suffer a loss in Mo Tan’s social circle, quoted a common saying from outsiders in a very down-to-earth manner - thinking about it is terrifying.
Obviously, if nothing else goes wrong, the Violet Royal Family should have won this time.
Under this premise, the [Female Bee], which was almost spread over the entire empire by the regent, naturally became the most powerful secret service agency. In fact, when His Highness Xiu stopped hiding his clumsiness and walked to the front desk, he got [Female Bee], which has a large amount of resources tilted, is indeed the first among the violets in terms of comprehensive strength.
However, the [Bauhinia Guard], the [Black Sheep] of the Dantès family, the [Dusk Blade] of the Simon family, and the [Tin Coin] of the Hussein family, which were originally similar institutions under the royal family, are still It maintains a level that is neither above nor below, and its business capabilities are far inferior to [Female Bee], a rising star that was established less than 20 years ago.
But...
Although [Female Bee] has now become the strongest spy agency in the entire Violet Empire, it is not the strongest in terms of scale and coverage area.
It is the [Night Hunt] under Fire Claw Grand Duke Rhino and Blood Axe, which has also been established for less than a hundred years!
This may seem unreasonable at first glance. After all, the Fire Claw Territory is a place dominated by orcs, and the average level of this race is actually not high. If something like an elite agent costs one hundred Only one dark elf can come out, and if it were a human being, it would take five hundred. As for the orcs, one in a thousand would be good.
However, under such circumstances, Grand Duke Xiluo forced this special organization called [Night Hunting] to spread across the entire continent. There was only one reason, and that was to uncover the Fire Claw leaders over the years. The truth behind the high-intensity disappearance of people.
Based on the characteristics of the victims, Rhino has already focused his attention on the right direction of 'slave trade'. However, the Viper Merchant Guild and the Whispering Sect are hidden too deeply, and [Night Hunt] does not have a Wanderer's Inn or a Thieves Guild after all. So powerful, so there has been nothing gained over the years. In the end, it was only Ned who finally found the truth.
But even so, the [Night Hunt], which was originally sent to various places to establish strongholds and intelligence networks in order to find out information, and spread across the entire continent, should not be underestimated.
To give the most intuitive example, there are three [Night Hunting] teams in the Free City, including Alma's, but the [Female Bee] stronghold only has one Crystal Flower Club.
This is not a secret, at least it is not a secret to His Highness Hugh Bresne, so the regent obviously hopes to eat [Night Hunting] into his mouth.
But at least for now, the Fire Claw Territory still maintains its independence. However, in view of the fact that Xiu played a lot of role in destroying the Marshall family, although Grand Duke Xiluo is not as powerful as Deng Di Si and Crystal Wolf fell head-over-heels, willing to be controlled by the royal family, but did not show any hostility. Generally speaking, the two sides have been getting along peacefully and happily in recent months.
However, although the two parties get along very harmoniously at the political level, and have recently launched many mutual exchange projects, for the 'in-system members' of [Female Bee] and [Night Hunt], getting along with each other is difficult. It's rather embarrassing.
Just as the atmosphere between Ophelia Laurel and Irma Heche is as awkward.
Then the question is, why do these two people show a considerable degree of cooperation with Mo Tan at the same time?
The reason is simple. The latter does not follow one channel, but two. Both of these are not difficult to guess. The first is Mo Tan, who has always been in contact with Xiu. He approached the former after the battle to suppress the hermaphrodites in Academy City and bluntly stated that he planned to set up a branch in the Free City. The stall needs your cooperation, His Highness the Regent.
And Xiu, who had treated 'Tan Mo' differently from the beginning and even regarded him as a confidant, was also a happy person. He immediately agreed and said that we are all brothers and there is no point in being too foreign. Well, I will ask the [Female Bee] people in the Free City to fully cooperate with you. You are the type who works so hard that your brains are ruined. Then you can give me two or three percent of the profit from the soda sale. That's it.
Mo Tan also immediately wrote back that the matter was easy to talk about, and asked about the power of [Female Bee] in the Free City.
The regent is loyal and honest, and even told Mo Tan the actual situation. Simply put, it is a [Crystal Flower Club], plus all the employees in this club, and the club is built with this club as the core information network.
After Mo Tan made a brief evaluation, he only replied to Xiu with four short words - Fuck you.
His Royal Highness the Regent was not someone to be trifled with. He immediately righteously condemned this unscrupulous friend, and finally asked Mo Tan what price he could offer.
In the end, after some wrangling, Mo Tan paid the [Harlequin Card] to provide free services to the Violet Empire 5 times/quarter, and successfully asked the regent to fully cooperate with him in commanding the Free City, and will A number of front-line personnel with extremely high comprehensive quality were sent to assist in the work.
That person is Ophelia Laurel.
As for the help of [Night Hunt], the promoter will naturally not be 'Tan Mo' who has no friendship with the Fire Claw Leader. It is also impossible that although he has some friendship with the Fire Claw Leader, his identity will be exposed. The 'Black Brahma' that caused catastrophe.
That’s right, this time I took the initiative to negotiate terms with Grand Duke Xiluo, and strived for the full cooperation of [Ye Shou], whose power exceeded [Female Bee] outside Violet, and finally promoted this long-term cooperation at zero cost. This person is Futaba who has recently customized a tarot card [The Fool] in [Strange and Strange City of Miracles].
This is easy to understand. After all, according to research, the fifty-third card JOKER in the playing cards is most likely to come from card No. 0 in the Tarot, which is the ‘Fool’ in the Major Arcana.
In view of the fact that JOKER, the ghost card in poker, is regarded as a wild card under many rules, and ‘The Fool’ just means infinite possibilities, so the term JOKER = Fool is the most widespread.
After joining the Harlequin Card, Futaba automatically became the [Ghost Card], the supreme planner, organizer and helmsman. When he returned to the City of Miracles, he immediately found Les. Brother, let the two people who have been greeted by Mo Tan in advance customize a [Highest Authority].
Because JOKER has a special status among the clown cards, even though everyone else has the same style of special playing cards, the two as ghost cards do not need to abide by this rule. For example, Mo Tan holds A lighter with a production number of zero, so Futaba chose a tarot card number 0.
By the way, whether it is Motan's lighter or the two-leaf tarot cards, the colors and styles are very gorgeous. In a word, you will know it when you see it. It must be the king!
In short, just like in the real world, although the two people are always at each other's throats online, they still maintain an anonymous hacker organization like [Black Sun], [Harlequin Card] is also the same in the eyes of Mo Tan and Futaba. Plant things, that is, toys for fun and fun.
Therefore, even though she knew that [Harlequin Card] was very likely...or must have participated in his previous assassination, Futaba still contacted the Fire Claw Leader without hesitation, hoping that the latter could cooperate with her plan to take root in the Free City. 'industry'.
Since Futaba can be said to be the great benefactor of the Fire Claw Territory, and [Night Hunt] happened to have no clear purpose after the Marshall family was destroyed, Grand Duke Xiluo made the decision immediately after receiving the news, which was not a benefit at all. None.
So the seemingly hard nut to crack before, Irma Heikiri has been on Mo Tan’s side from the beginning, and is even more trustworthy than Hermes.
"Mr. doesn't like to waste time, so he won't stay in the Free City for too long."
After drinking the last sip of soda, Xiao Ai broke the silence with a smile and said to the three people He said softly: "And he doesn't want us to waste time, so I'm afraid we don't have time to play the upgrade game step by step and down-to-earth, so..."
When he said this, Xiao Ai paused slightly, and his eyes as calm as water slowly swept over Hermes, Elma and Ophelia.
The three of them immediately straightened their backs subconsciously and looked solemn.
For some reason, these three secret agents, who were all well-trained agents in every sense of the word, trembled secretly when the young, harmless girl in front of them looked over.
"The core goal is tentatively to make Countess Lessa the consul here in the shortest possible time."
Xiao Ai stood up and made a skirt-lifting ceremony to the three of them. Then he covered his small mouth and coughed lightly——
"Then, please trouble the three of you to mobilize all your resources to investigate [Black Curtain] and Father Lorenzo. That person... is not simple."
