Chapter 1761 The curtain slowly opens
Whether it is a 'disaster beast' or a 'cursed bat', it even includes the other two 'mirror snails' in the Sun Dynasty [Third Research] that were confirmed by the last Dragon King to be experimental by-products Including the 'Hidden Ape', these existences have been extinct for a long time. Although this answer is reasonable for the time being, it still surprised everyone.
It makes sense because no one has ever discovered this kind of creature in the Manya Wilderness over the years. If they are always active in this area, then this statement is obviously unfeasible. After all, Mo Tan and others did not go through all the trouble to find those monsters, but they encountered those things not long after entering the wilderness.
The reason why everyone was surprised was that a group of them encountered these theoretically extinct creatures twice in half a day.
“It can only be said that it is not a coincidence that we will encounter those things. If nothing else happens, there may already be a large number of leftover monsters from the Sun Dynasty active in the entire Barbarian Fang Wilderness, and we encountered It’s just a small part of it.”
Mo Tan gently scratched the dark purple scales on his cheeks and said solemnly: "I believe that this situation will never happen for a long time, otherwise even if we leave aside professional intelligence agencies such as the Thieves Guild and the Wanderer Hotel, , at least [Huangdian], who has ears and eyes all around the Gold Rush Triangle, will definitely not miss the slightest bit of news."
Lujiang blinked and asked curiously: "Then do they know that there is a problem here? But you didn’t tell us on purpose?”
“Impossible.”
Jadeka immediately shook his head to deny Lujiang’s speculation and said, “There are too many reasons. First of all, because of my relationship with the Diesel family, the person in charge of the deserted store has been showing favor to us from the beginning, and even made some illegal actions, such as telling Mo that the team called "Hunting Makeup" Where are the gangs hiding? They haven’t been working against us the whole time.”
Lujiang frowned and said unconvincingly, “But I heard Sister Yege say that Brother Mo and Yaya were almost the same. If you encounter an accident there, could it be..."
"Ahem, no matter what, it's definitely not the owner of the abandoned shop who wants to harm us."
Mo Tan touched the tip of his nose and exchanged a look with Yaya who was shrinking his neck next to him. He explained calmly: "The reason why I encountered danger was mainly because I was too impatient at the time. If I think about it now, the old man I’m afraid Ban’s intention is to let us make trouble for those people after we are fully prepared, instead of rushing in directly..."
Ji Xiaoge crossed his arms and sneered, with a bad tone and slightly almond-shaped eyes. Ning, with a rare Beijing accent: "Hey, Mr. Mo, co-author, do you still know?"
"I know, I know. , Yaya and I have already reflected on it."
Mo Tan, who had expected that Ji Xiaoge would definitely take the opportunity to make up for it, nodded until the former snorted and looked away, then secretly relaxed. After taking a breath, he continued: "All in all, that boss has no reason to harm us. To say the least, even if he If you want to harm us, there is no need to simply conceal the information about those monsters, because their strength is really average. Even if we encounter them unexpectedly, we can easily destroy them and then retreat, so... the highest possibility The conclusion is that [Huangdian] still doesn’t know.”
Jadeka nodded slightly at first, and then asked doubtfully: "But is this really possible? You must know that the [Desolate Shop] is jointly supported by the Gold Coin Merchant Association, the Steam Consortium, the Adventurers Association, the Archaeologists Association and the Wanderer Hotel. The intelligence network around the Gold Rush Triangle is even greater than that of the Inn or the Thieves Guild. I don’t know how we can hide this kind of monster from them.”
“It’s actually not difficult to understand.”
< br>Mo Tan rubbed his chin while pondering: "In the final analysis, [Desolate Store] is actually a 'business' done by those powerful forces in this place together. Then we can analyze it from two aspects. First, those forces join forces to What is the original intention of opening [Huangdian]?"
Ji Xiaoge immediately raised his little hand, flapped his wings and said loudly: "I know, I know."
"Okay, then. Please invite classmate Ye Ge.”
Mo Tan immediately extended his hand to Ji Xiaoge very cooperatively.
"Hey, I listened very seriously when Lao Jia said this."
Ji Xiaoge clapped his little hands cheerfully and said seriously: "At first, I wanted to In this mixed bag of fish and dragons, what is the next best thing? Make money from the chaotic places in the capital, and then...well, the ruins in the east? "
"Yes, at least judging from the services provided by [Huangdian] now, many of them are dedicated to Let’s explore the east side of Undersheriff "
Mo Tan nodded, smiled encouragingly at Ji Xiaoge who was a little hesitant in his tone, and then continued along his train of thought: "So, [Huangdian] is ultimately just a matter of doing. business place', only However, after their influence expanded, they also became the rule makers of the Gold Rush Triangle, establishing a rare order in this chaotic zone, and the existence of this order itself is still for profit. "
Lu Jiang tried his best to follow Mo Tan's train of thought and nodded while asking: "Then what?"
"Then we can split 'profit' into the following two parts, namely 'money' and 'intelligence' ', and these two parts have one thing in common Point..."
Mo Tan paused for a moment, and then said concisely: "People."
"There are rivers and lakes where there are people?"
Ji Xiao Pigeon reacted quickly and said this directly.
Yaya, on the other hand, tilted his head with a confused look on his face: "Wang Hu?"
"It should be a term unique to Mo's world."
Jadeka quickly said After reacting, he stroked his beard and nodded slightly: " But I understand what Mo means. To put it simply, Huangdian, who controls the gold rush triangle, will only set his sights on the golden city in the southeast, as well as the wealthy places such as the Principality of Freya and Toril State in the north. Of course, In addition, every once in a while in the east, there will be Undersher, the hinterland of the old Sun Dynasty that produces a large amount of cultural relics, antiquities, and waste, and is favored by the Archaeologists Association. "
Lujiang completely understood this, and immediately clapped his hands hard, and said suddenly. : "The barbarian teeth of the west The wilderness is a deserted land full of dangers and sparsely populated. The Savage Highlands have been rarely visited since it was recognized as a civilized area hundreds of years ago, so... No!"
"No wow! ?”
Yaya, who was startled by Lujiang, let out a soft cry.
“No, no!”
Lujiang scratched his hair hard, confusion written on his pretty face: “I remember that although the Manya Wilderness is full of dangers, because of the [Banling Mine] 】 relationship, many gold prospectors come here in groups every year, and on the Savage Highlands, although everyone has stopped supporting those highlander settlements, there is also a very prosperous [Gambling Hill] Kos] Ah!"
"It seems like this in theory"
In the end, Mo Tan smiled faintly and said in a calm tone: "But in fact, Banling Mine. Because of the particularity of its existence, only the months of Song, Poetry, Fantasy, Obscurity, Stars and Frost can be surveyed and mined during the other half of the year. , those priceless ores look no different from ordinary scrap iron ores. Not only that, if it is not mined at the right time, the [Banling Mine] that is mined will indeed turn into one gold coin and twenty kilograms without anyone. Want scrap iron ore.”
Lujiang's eyes widened in surprise, and he whispered: "Is there another way to say this?"
"It is true that there is such a thing, but the problem is..."
>Jadeka turned to look at Mo Tan with some confusion, and said curiously: "I remember that when we last talked about this matter, you didn't even know what [Spiritual Companion Mine] was. How come you suddenly understand it so well?"
Mo Tan smiled and explained in a rather brisk tone: "Don't forget my identity. As an outsider, if you want to find certain information in a targeted manner, the efficiency may not be as high as It’s slow to read books or go to Wanderer’s Inn or the Thieves Guild with money. I did a little research on the Gold Triangle while I was ‘offline’ some time ago, so my understanding of this area is much deeper than before.”
“People from other worlds are so powerful.”
Jadeka smacked his lips and sighed.
"No, no, no."
As a result, Ji Xiaoge and Lu Jiang shook their heads at the same time, and clarified their relationship with Mo Tan in unison: "Yes Mo is more powerful."
< br>And Yaya nodded happily and echoed: "Mowang is amazing!"
"It's not that bad."
Mo Tan waved his hand, and then continued to explain: "As for [Gambling State Sirkos] in the Savage Highlands, it is true that it is very prosperous in a sense. In addition, [War State Daragabu] 】In fact, it is quite popular, but the problem is that whether they are celebrities who go to gambling countries for entertainment, or mercenary groups looking for fresh blood in the war states, they generally leave directly from the Principality of Freya in the northern part of the Savage Highlands. , instead of choosing a place like the Manya Wilderness that is almost isolated from the civilized world. "Yes, those people are not frequent visitors to the Gold Rush Triangle, adventurers and speculators are, so except for the first half of each year, Manya." The wilderness is completely inaccessible and no one even cares about it."
Jadeka nodded slightly and simply added: "The main reason why the [Destruction King Mercenary Group] took this route. The cost of air transportation is still too high, and the route across the Wild Fang Wilderness is much closer than the route from Freya, which is a special case."
"In this case, one thing is certain."
Mo Tan tapped his forehead lightly and said in a deep voice: "Given that the Barbarian Fang Wilderness was full of speculators until the Frost Moon, we can basically confirm that these monsters only appeared in the past three months. ”
Jadeka and Yaya immediately understood, while Ji Xiaoge and Lujiang, who had roughly mastered the solar terms of the months in the Innocence Realm over the past six months, also nodded.
"After dawn, we will tell Captain Largo these things directly."
Mo Tan stood up and ended the temporary meeting neatly: "If Wang Ba The news that Dan gave is correct, then these monsters are indeed within the range that we can deal with. After all, the most powerful thing in the Sun Dynasty is the various standard equipment, and even if those things are left behind, the people who can control them are no longer there. "
"That's the best."
Jadeka smacked his lips and murmured: "I seem to have heard adults say that although the Sun Dynasty has fallen apart, There are still some lunatics who are trying to restore the past glory and even try to contact our Diesel family.”
Ji Xiaoge blinked and asked curiously: "What contact? Let the Diesel family help them restore the country, and then make a hereditary general to protect the country?"
"Sister Ye Ge, have you watched many TV series? Come on..."
Lujiang twitched the corner of his mouth and vomited with empty eyes.
In the end, Jadeka actually nodded and said: "That's probably what I mean."
Lujiang: "..."
"Ha! I'll just say it!"
Ji Xiaoge flapped her wings happily twice and continued to ask: "Then did you agree?"
"I didn't hear the follow-up, But he definitely didn’t agree in the end.”
Jadekar chuckled and spread his hands: “Although the Diesel family became successful after the Sun Dynasty fell, it was before it officially became a ‘family’. Their ancestors also left some records, and when it comes to the Sun Dynasty, there are basically no good things to say. They may have been great, but the impression that that dynasty left on the world was all negative. "
Ji Xiaoge nodded: "That's right. I remember the teacher said that he and Sun Dynasty seem to have some fate (Mo Tan's eyes jumped a little)."
"Then let's all continue to keep vigil, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."
Mo Tan moved his shoulders and said seriously: "Be mentally prepared, it may be quite hard for a long time in the future. "
" Got it. "
"Okay, Brother Mo. "
"It's so troublesome..."
"Don't be too tired."
"Woof!"
......
At the same time
Southwestern Continent
The Theocracy of Dreams, Underground Church, Confession Room
Dong-dong-dong——
A subtle knock on the door sounded from outside, interrupting Lamorlock's daily routine' meditation'.
“Come in.”
Putting the folding bed into his bag, the Whispering God, wearing a large silver windbreaker, with an intellectual and gentle appearance and a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, lazily turned his head to look at The door to the confessional.
"My Lord."
High Priest Carter walked into the confession room respectfully, handed a parchment scroll sealed with fire paint to Lamorlock, and said softly: "It was just sent from the Aphasia Hall. Latest news."
"Latest news. News?”
Lamorlock did not take the parchment, but wiped his monocle and asked without looking up: “Has the Archbishop read it?”
< br>“I’ve seen it.”
Carter nodded, with a respectful and humble tone: "The Archbishop asked me to send you the news directly."
"Oh, Griffin and Chauvin, right?"
"Uh...yes."
"I know, put it away, I won't read it."
"Huh? But..."
"Go back and tell Archbishop Yueying that since the development of the situation is completely expected by me, then please ask him to abide by his previous promise as promised."
"But the Archbishop..."
"I want to do it again. Get some sleep and get out, or die."
"Yes——"
