Chapter 18: A New Breakthrough

"This is the beginning and end of the war between Frunde and Thorn Gui." Salac placed a thick stack of bunjiàns on Xia Zuo's desk.

After flipping through a few pages, Xia Zuo stopped and rubbed his eyebrows, things were more complicated than expected.

Both sides accused the other of stealing their own drawings or weapons, and there was conclusive evidence, and public opinion was more in favor of Fland.

This is something that Xia Zuo has learned from the beginning, but now that it is involved in the internal power struggle of Frunde, it may be that Thorn Gui is just an innocent victim.

That's not a good conclusion.

Anyone who finds out after a lot of hard work will not be in a good mood just because of the beauty of adults.

Goblin Secy and Goblin Oak?

Xia Zuo shook off Wen Jiàn in annoyance.

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone first, your future partner." Xia Zuo simply put aside those bad things first.

Salak cleaned up the table, looked up and asked, "Is that Mr. Mermaid?" ”

"yes." Xia Zuo smiled unconsciously, "Because of him, we have really opened the southern trading line." ”

"That's really good news." Salak also smiled slightly, "Looking forward to meeting him." ”

"Old place, Salak, you go over first and let Daddy get ready, I'll pick up Alan." The blonde youth's eyes flashed, and the previous gloom was completely gone.

Salak paused slightly, "Go ahead, now is the right time to enjoy a good dinner." ”

Pointed ears bowed to his hand, and quickly left, not even realizing how vivid his expression was at the mention of Alan.

In Salak's opinion, Xia Zuo just now seemed to have stars hidden in his eyes.

I really want people to ...... Take it off.

Picking it up again, gently stroking the folds on the paper, Salak threw it directly into the waste paper pile, picked up the jacket on the chair, and walked towards the Red Pearl Commercial Street.

At this moment, Alan was still in the shop in the slums, and to be honest, he felt that it was so wise to hand over the shop to Xia Zuo in the first place.

He never knew that the old man, who had always seemed so kind, would become so verbose when it came to work in the store.

Pinching the hilt of the sword hanging from his waist, he said that he had endured it for a long time.

But thinking that he would soon be able to get rid of this inhuman torture, Alan gritted his tooth sockets.

"Yo~ Alan, so serious." The words of the pointed ears are indeed from the heart, because ...... Ellen, who was frowning and patient, looked a little tempting.

But at this moment, Alan definitely doesn't feel that the pointed ears are complimenting him.

"Golden Retriever, are you gloating?" Angry Alan looked like he was about to cry, "I said a long time ago, I'm not good at these things at all." ”

After a few days of eating and drinking, or the elves' stalking? Alan and Xia Zuo are already familiar enough to take some strange nicknames.

Of course, the above behavior is only limited to Allen, who is accustomed to the modern dating model that good buddies should have an intimate code name.

Although Xia Zuo seems to enjoy this mode very much, even if it is the nickname of Golden Retriever, which has a strong atmosphere of earth hanging.

Actually, it's quite in line with me, Xia Zuo thought as he touched his hair.

"Let me come, I'll be able to take over completely when I'm done with the matter at hand, so I'll have to work hard for Alan for a while." Xia Zuo took the list of accounts in Allen's hand and checked it with the old man.

The intricate accounts seemed to be made clear by Xia Zuo's analysis, and the proofreading was quickly completed.

The old man also breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the thin sweat on his forehead.

Alan felt a little ashamed, and moved the chair in the distance and placed it behind the old man.

"Let's go, treat you, Daddy Sico's dinner, do you want to go?" Pointy ears made a gentlemanly salute.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Alan also returned the salute decently.

(Hey!) The old man said that he also wanted to go. You two bastards)

It didn't take much time to settle the accounts, and when the two arrived, Sico was still standing next to Salak and didn't dare to come out.

"Let's haw ~ Salak, race: Terran, Mannstein branch, Mannmat

Boyfriend Value: 55.5

There is a hidden sick attribute, which triggers immediately

There is a hidden high combat power, which is triggered immediately

There is a hidden obsessive-compulsive beep, which is triggered immediately

Summary: If you like to be morbid and super possessive, please don't be careless, even if I don't think you can attack him at all. ”

Alan had long been accustomed to the system's irregular convulsions, but he had always been cautious about the 'immediate trigger' that made him talk to Salak.

Although the system is very undisciplined, it is often very credible, and the experience of the past two years is not false at all.

This made the atmosphere at the dinner table somewhat discordant.

Xia Zuo, who had sharper senses than ordinary people, obviously felt this strange atmosphere as well, and unlike Allen, who thought it was caused by himself, he found that Salak seemed to be putting pressure on Allen all the time.

That's right, this friend has never been someone who trusts others lightly, and it seems a little early to bring Alan to meet him now.

Xia Zuo was annoyed and wanted to find something to talk about to ease the atmosphere.

But then Salak smiled slightly: "Regarding the matter of Flende, I think I have found a breakthrough. ”

Alan and Xia Zuo were both slightly stunned.

Is this an acknowledgment of me (Allen)?

"What? Don't want to tackle them quickly? Salak began to think seriously about the question.

"Ah, no, it's just a suddenness to the good news." Xia Zuo winked at Alan.

"I'm wondering where I can help." Alan successfully received Xia Zuo's brain waves and smiled kindly at Salak.

Salak softened his expression, "I also just got the news from my father, and then speculated. ”

This made Alan can't help but look at Sico a few more times.

"It's mainly Lord Salak's ingenuity." Daddy Sico stepped in at the right time.

Raising his hand to stop Daddy's possible next nonsense, Salak went straight to the point. "I got the news from my father that four years ago, there was a group of dwarfs who migrated to Zheluo, and at that time Zheluo was still a small country town, and a large part of the credit for the development of Cheng Dù to what he is now is due to those gnomes."

Daddy pulled out a condensed version of the map.

"This is where they live." Salak pointed to the blue part of the map.

"Isn't this the sea?" Alan asked questions.

Salak shook his head, "This is the map now, it wasn't a sea four years ago. Although I don't understand why the gnome colony ruined the miè, I found something interesting. Frande used to be just selling arms, just selling arms, and four years ago it was a small gang that no one knew about, but since they started selling new and homemade weapons three years ago, Frand had only taken a place in the profits, just when the gnomes disappeared. ”

Salak paused, then continued, "Capturing gnomes and doing coolie labor is what many greedy arms merchants like to do the most. ”

"While your conjecture is plausible, a coincidence is more likely," Xia Zuo said.

"That's what I thought at first." Salak nodded, "But I heard yesterday that someone recently met a dwarf. Although he himself did not realize that it was a dwarf, from his description, I could be sure that there was a dwarf hiding somewhere in the corner of the city. ”

"Please continue." Xia Zuo's expression began to harden.

"Assuming that the gnomes are captured by Frunde, I think that as a race known for their intelligence, even if they are weak, they must not have given up on fleeing. And doesn't the battle between Thorn Gui and Fullande feel too coincidental? It always felt like something was pushing, and a huge contradiction broke out between the two. ”

"Although I had only heard about it before, I also thought it was a little strange at the time, but I couldn't find the group that benefited the most from this business war." Alan groaned for a moment and smiled, "If anything, it's you, Natsuzo." ”

"Well, Alan, it's not funny, although I think so, too."

The solemn atmosphere was broken by the two of them at once.

Salak also sighed helplessly, "I really can't help you, an unserious elf is enough of a headache." ”

"I'm sorry." Blackfish smiled and raised his hand, "Please go on." ”

"I suspect that the dwarf originally intended to kill Flander with the help of Gui. Remember when you told me the guy who sold the drawings to Gui? Salak looked at Shazo.

"Remember, a man about my size."

"He met the dwarf."
