As expected, the largest liquor supplier in Silver City is the "Brotherhood of Blood Arms" in front of you.

No, not only Silver City, but also the surrounding "Thunder Light City" and "Levi Territory" are their sphere of influence.

It can be said that half of the liquor market in Xiongluling is theirs.

And the reason why they can occupy such a vast market.

On the one hand, their strength is indeed good, there are nearly fifty transcendents alone!

On the other hand, they encompassed most of the minor nobles, and were very aware of the current affairs and shared a part of the profits among the big nobles.

Therefore, their road is getting wider and wider.

As for how they co-opted the little nobles, it was actually very simple.

The domains of the great nobles were mainly used to grow potions, after all, potions were much more profitable than the liquor business.

And as long as you are extraordinary, you will definitely use potions!

Unfortunately, potions can only grow in environments where the power of the underworld is very strong.

Therefore, the territories of the great nobles are equipped with large "Gathering Arrays" and "Energy Conversion Arrays" that regulate the weather, but because of their complex structure, high price, and difficult maintenance, ordinary small nobles cannot afford it.

Therefore, most of the territories of the minor nobles are planted with ordinary plants such as grain, vegetables and fruits.

As a result, the Brotherhood of the Blood Arm is both the largest supplier of alcohol and the largest purchaser of grain.

Their interests are closely related to the interests of those minor nobles, which is why Ying Xingyun did not act rashly.

"Distinguished guest, is there anything that can serve you?" Seeing that Ying Xingyun and Kalia were talking happily, Old Neil couldn't help but come over.

"Cut off a gopher ear and drink!"

This is the black slang of the black market in the underworld.

Since the ears of the gopher people are so well developed that it is said that they can detect the wind and grass within 500 meters, the meaning of this phrase gradually extends to buy and sell news.

"Second floor, please, we've got any ear you want to buy at Old Neil's Tavern. ”

After bidding farewell to Kalia, Ying Xingyun came upstairs alone with Old Neil, closed the door, and said straight to the point: "What is the price of all the news from the Lord of Silver City, Baron Fugen?"

"One hundred golden dragons!"

"It's expensive!"

"No, trust me, guest, the price is absolutely fair, don't you want to know some of Baron Fogen's little collections?

Trust me, that's going to be fun. ”

"For example?"

"The Heart of the Deep Crow"

Ying Xingyun's eyes shrank suddenly, and his heart was already turbulent.

At this moment, Ying Xingyun thought a lot, he remembered what fifteen had said to him on the night he first came to this world.

"You and I were both captured by Master Curnow from a small city called 'Silver City' two years ago."

I remembered what the former owner of his body said in a letter to Fifteen, "If you have the opportunity, please go back to the 'Frost Heavenly Territory' on the Underworld Plateau for me and see the scenery there for me." ”

I remembered that the main ingredient recorded in the recipe of the Enlightenment - the heart of the Deep Golden Crow.

Suddenly, Ying Xingyun's heart swelled up with a feeling of breaking through the clouds and seeing the blue sky.

The reason why that guy came to Silver City was probably to gather all the materials for the Enlightenment Elixir!

Did he make a deal with old Neil for this?

His performance was fully seen by Old Neil, and Ying Xingyun has indeed changed a lot in recent years, but Old Neil still recognized him at a glance.

As a good messenger, Old Neil remembers everyone he dealt with.

"Do you remember me?" said Ying Xingyun, who didn't know how much old Neil knew about him, so he could only be cautious and tentative.

"Of course, Neil's business ability is not in doubt!"

"That deal ......"

"It's clear that Old Neil's price is fair, isn't it?"

"Indeed!" Ying Xingyun tugged at the corners of his mouth, saying that there were many mistakes, and he could only leave the topic to Old Neil for guidance.

"The last unfinished deal, you must be more sure this time. ”

"Make an offer, old Neal, I'm asking for more news this time. ”

"One hundred and fifty golden dragons, you will know everything you want to know", old Neil said with a flattering smile.

"I hope you won't let me down!" Ying Xingyun went downstairs and took one hundred and fifty golden dragons from the space ring of the chief of the guard and threw them to Old Neil.

Old Neil took the money bag with a smile, put it in his arms, habitually skimmed around, leaned over to Ying Xingyun's ear, and muttered softly:

"It all started with Baron Fogen's ancestor, Diel Fogen, who had the good fortune of being a knightly squire for a great man.

At the most glorious time, this guy not only became an official knight, but also climbed to the position of captain of the knights.

That heart was stolen from his old master's house, otherwise how could a guy who wasn't even an earth knight get the heart of such a super-rank underworld beast?

Dill Fogen not only betrayed his old master, but also threw himself into the arms of the enemy camp, which was the main reason why he was made a baron, and this guy must have played an indispensable role in that betrayal. ”

"Oh, of course, you may not be interested in that, so let's talk about this generation of Baron Fogen, Harry Fogen!"

"Betrayers are never welcome, and it is because of his carefulness and low profile that Dil Fogen is fortunate enough to return to the embrace of the Stygian Moon.

His successors clearly did not have this far-sightedness, and this Harry Fogen perfectly inherited the shortcomings of all the nobles.

Can you imagine this guy regaining the right to the first night in his territory?

Did you know that this guy has an illegitimate child with the most delicate flower of the Ocean Theater?"

"Oh, you can't say this, you have to add money!"

"I don't want to know about his, you tell me the point! How many main members of his family are, what kind of strength are they, and what is the level of his attendants and knights? How many private soldiers can be mobilized in the territory? What is the defensive deployment in the territory?"

Ying Xingyun glared angrily at this bad old man who was out of tune.

"Ahem! this Hardy Fogan ......."

Half an hour later, Ying Xingyun got all the information he wanted.

He left Old Neil's Tavern with his attendants and returned to the house he had bought in the inner city.

As it gets late, Old Neil's Tavern sends off the last of its guests, and Old Neil can enjoy a moment of peace while the moon has not yet risen.

The man who sharpened the knife in the front yard also finished sharpening the last knife at this time, secretly praised his craft, and carefully put the knife away, the guy thing used to cut people is worth taking seriously.

Old Neil had a large pipe in his mouth, and he puffed on the smoke ring.

Glancing at the butcher who was collecting the knife, Old Neil unconsciously thought of the kid who hadn't seen him for two years, and muttered suspiciously: "I haven't seen you for two years, why has that little guy changed so much?

What has this guy been through in the past two years?"

The butcher didn't say anything, but said sullenly: "That group of people is good! It should feel good to cut it!"

As soon as he heard this, the pensive old Neil suddenly jumped up and down angrily, "You're going to cause trouble for me again, aren't you?"

You want me to wipe your ass again, don't you?

My brute bulls aren't enough for you to cut?"

"It's not cool!"

"Phew, you damned Northland brute, don't do me a big deal!

I shouldn't have brought you out of my house in the first place!

How many days do you think you've gotten me into trouble along the way?"

In the face of Old Neil's angry accusation, the butcher also lowered his head a little embarrassed and muttered quietly, "Am I not afraid that they will cause us trouble?"

"Phew, you highland brute, do you have a brain?

Hmph, that little guy's target is that little baron, it has nothing to do with our prey, don't ask for trouble!"

............

In a small cabin in the inner city, the lights are dimmed in an instant, and the candles flicker, illuminating only a small place.

Under the reflection of this dim light, more than a dozen dark, narrow figures are ...... Eating dinner.

"Everyone, isn't it time to fix this lamp?" Ying Xingyun knocked on the table and spoke first.

"Ahem! Fix it tomorrow, fix it tomorrow. The third-placed guard was the first to speak.

"Ah San, look at the house you bought, not to mention that it is so small, and the furniture is so tattered!" the head of the guard couldn't help but complain.

"My dear big brother, you just give me such a small amount of money, how big do you want me to buy?

Haven't you heard adults say how much land there is and how much grain there is?" Ah San muttered quietly, a little aggrieved.

Syllable!

The chief guard slapped Ah Sanyi.

"With a mouth full of slippery mouths, you want to rebel!

Besides, who knew that housing prices would rise so fast now!" The chief guard was a little embarrassed and a little annoyed, he hadn't seen him for a few years, and the hearts of these nobles in Silver City were really getting darker and darker, and they deliberately raised the price of land, it seemed that he had time to have a good chat with them.

Looking at these attendants, you chatted and farted every word, Ying Xingyun's heart also felt a little funny, what about the cold energy when you first came?

"Ahem, let's talk about business!" Ying Xingyun knocked lightly on the table.

The room fell silent.

"Guys, I think we're going to have to change our plans. ”

Seeing that no one was silent, Ying Xingyun continued, "Originally, Mentor Glo and I planned to establish our own distilled spirit workshop first.

In cooperation with local sake merchants, we buy a large amount of fermented liquor from local sake merchants at a lower price, distill it, and sell it.

At the same time, it is necessary to use part of the profits to win the support of the local nobles.

But in this way, I don't think it's wise to offend the petty nobles, at least to offend the local wine merchants.

After talking to Kalia, I had a brand new idea, why don't we just control a big noble, and then cooperate with those minor nobles?"
