Chapter 214: A Secret Visit to Cass City
The most prosperous castle in the land country, Kas Castle. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
It is the third largest castle in the land of the land after the royal castle of Xuanwu Castle and Iwain Village, but if you count the economic strength, Kas Castle with convenient transportation is the most economically developed area of the land country.
As a wealthy town, Cass City has everything it should have, with wide, clean streets and tall buildings. Moreover, the land of the country is a country built in a mountainous and hilly environment, and most of the urban buildings here are mainly stone structures, and the strong exotic atmosphere makes the three of them can't help but take a few more glances even if they are burdened with heavy responsibilities.
"My lord, what are we supposed to do, it's been a day, what the hell are we going to investigate? β
Among the three, Sakai is a person from the roots, and in addition to having extraordinary abilities in espionage operations, he is slightly weak in the overall situation, so he doesn't know what he should do for a day with the sunny sun, and he is asking in a blank whisper at this time.
"Heh, Ningji, do you know, if you know, talk to Sakai. β
Qingyang's current image is a middle-aged merchant with a big belly, and Sakai and Ning Ji are dressed up as retinues and young masters respectively. So Qingyang is talking kindly at the moment, like a successful businessman who is more than a junior.
Ning Ci also nodded calmly, so far Ning Ci has been impressed by the other party after seeing Qingyang's powerful strength and master's wisdom, so he has a little calmness when he speaks and acts. It's just that this doesn't mean that the bond he formed with Sakai has passed like this. At this moment, when he saw that the other party didn't know, he looked at Sakai, and he could finally bring that mocking smile.
"It's such a simple question, you can't even understand it. Before we come... You've seen that list of lost supplies, too. β
Ning Ci hesitated halfway through his words, although he no longer had a twist with Qingyang, but he couldn't say the words "Lord Qingyang" no matter what, but if he called Qingyang's name directly, he felt that it was really inappropriate, and finally had to slip over vaguely. After receiving Sakai's affirmative answer, Ninji continued.
"Not to mention the most important strategic materials, there is white bracken fiber, which can make high-quality scrolls, and glowite, the main raw material for making shinobi tools that are compatible with high chakra. However, in addition to these, there are many inferior materials, that is, such as grain, cloth, salt, tea, etc. And in fact, the materials mentioned later account for the majority of the lost materials in us and several surrounding countries, that is to say, if these things are done by a group of people, then in addition to obtaining a large number of strategic resources, they must also get those basic materials that are enough to support the operation of several major countries for about a month at the same time. But here's the problem, there are so many supplies that no one in the ninja world can eat alone. What's more, although that kind of thing is important, it does not have much room for growth, and if it is overstocked, it is not necessary and inconvenient to transport, and it is easy to drag its feet. So what do you say if you are the other party and you have so many materials in your hands?"
"Find a way to monetize these supplies?"
Sakai seemed to understand a little at this time, and asked tentatively.
"Yes, it seems that you are not completely hopeless. β
Ningji was in a good mood and enjoyed the feeling of taking the rhythm into his own hands, and at the same time did not forget to taunt Sakai. However, at this time, the latter obviously didn't have the kung fu to quarrel with Ning Ci, just because Sakai was indeed aroused by Ning Ci's curiosity, and seeing that Ning Ci seemed to have the following, he chose to put up with it for the time being. And Ning Ci seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and nodded his head again, posing as a "teachable" look, and the roots of the angry Sai's teeth were itching.
"Since you also mentioned that the other party may be able to liquidate, they will definitely find a suitable place to sell the stolen goods. Since it is naturally more convenient and faster to sell stolen goods, the better, so where is the nearest economic center to Wang Zhiguo?"
"Cass City?!"
Sakai exclaimed in a low voice, and now he finally understood all the deep meaning of this, and just as Sakai was about to say something more, Ning Ci spoke again.
"But what I've said so far is all speculation, and maybe the culprit is Iwakure, who hoarded all the supplies in preparation for war and didn't sell them, or maybe the culprit took them to other towns to sell them in order to confuse us. But in any case, there is a high possibility that that the supplies will appear in Kas City. As long as there is the slightest possibility, we need to investigate, and we may be lucky enough to do so. β
"Pap~Pap~Pap~"
Qingyang, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but clap Ning Ci's hands at this time, naturally because Ning Ci almost said everything he thought, which couldn't help but make Qingyang's evaluation of Ning Ci rise to a higher height, and his heart was even more eager to absorb this future star into the forbearance department.
Ning Ci said very well, it is very necessary to have a clear and rational mind and a certain degree of visual perspective when performing this type of task, and only in this way can it be possible to see the essence of the problem through the phenomenon when facing complex clues. At this point, Sakai really wants to study hard with Ningji. β
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up when he heard Qingyang praising him, and now he was no longer as naΓ―ve as before when he wanted to surpass Zongwu and then surpass Qingyang. After seeing the gap between the two sides, Ninji's goal became much more realistic, and he was now pursuing to leave Sakai, Shikamaru, and Naruto, who defeated him, and Sasuke, who defected, all behind, and become the leader of their group of young people, and then consider surpassing Sogo. As for how to change the Hyuga family in the end, this kind of thing has already been temporarily and firmly sealed like his caged bird seal.
It's a pity that Ning Ci's happiness didn't last long, and Qingyang had already prepared the big stick that was raised high after giving him a carrot.
"Ningci, you can't be proud! What you just said is indeed very good, but you have overlooked a rather important variable, and that is time and energy. Our mission can be said to be urgent, and there is not much time to waste, so we must complete the investigation of Kas City in the fastest time, have you taken this into account?"
Ning Ci's face was stunned when Qingyang asked him like this, and then he said stiffly.
"What's this, let's investigate as quickly as possible, I believe that with our ability, we can finish investigating this place in one day......"
"Puff~"
"What are you happy about?!"
Ning Ji glared at Sai with some annoyance, and the other party turned his head and put on a look of being too lazy to take care of him.
"He's happy with your innocence, and it's no wonder you've probably done some escort or crusade missions before. Investigating a big city is not so simple, first of all, the city is divided into several main areas? What are the main functions of each area? How many major forces are there in the city? What are the relationship between these forces? These specific situations are not clear, how to investigate efficiently? Covert investigation is not murder, if I slaughter the city, I may only do it in an instant, standing in the air with a super storm of water can make Cass City disappear from the map. Unfortunately, in that case, the information we wanted would be washed away by the same water as this city. β
Speaking of this, Qingyang couldn't help but laugh out loud. At this time, seeing that Ning Ci's face was already red to the root of his ears, he asked modestly again.
"So what are we going to do?"
"Hey, that's right, no matter how great a genius is, he can't do great things when he's alone. If we want to save our time, we have to learn to use all the resources we can use, and that's when Sakai comes in. I think you can take us to a place where you know everything, don't you?"
The last sentence Haruyo said to Sakai.
"We're here to help, sir. β
Sakai bowed respectfully and walked to the front to guide them.
"Where is he taking us?"
Ning Ci still asked in a low voice. Qingyang didn't look back, but sighed in a rather rare tone.
"The dark side of Konoha. β
