Chapter 118: Jelink's admonition
"Angus and his daughter Elaine died in the assassination of the house of Tisiphone."
Lorain Hill walked over to the couch across from Jelink and sat down slowly, and began to talk about his experiences in Hopland and the ambitions of the Tisiphones.
When Lorain Hill spoke of the new musket of the Tisiphone family, Jereink frowned slightly, picked up the teacup in front of him, and took a sip before asking.
"Do you know where they got those muskets?" Jelink doesn't seem to be new to this new weapon.
"It must have been imported from the country of Urna, and then the Tonyssos family's fleet was smuggled over."
After listening to Loren Hill's answer, Geerin fell into thought, his hands unconsciously overlapped together, his fingers slowly tapping the back of his other hand.
It was a long time before he spoke.
"Niece Lacey, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple."
"The musket or the degraded version of the magic crystal gun, even in Roulna is an experimental project, the magic crystal gun is the most cutting-edge research direction of Rourna today, and all kinds of secrecy measures are very complete."
"Even after the agreement between us and Rovna at the beginning of the year, this part of the information is rarely shown to the public, and the Rovna official claims that this is still a weapon under test and is not stable, so it is not for sale."
"There's no way the Tisiphones could afford to pay a great deal to get a new weapon that's still being experimented with, and besides, it's not the original, it's just an inferior."
"Although the musket is stronger than the previous bow and crossbow, it is not yet up to the level of a silver-level transcendent creation, and the manufacturing cost is not lower than that of the silver level at all, so it is definitely a loss-making transaction."
"There are people who do the business that loses their lives, and no one will do the loss-making industry."
"Unless this new weapon doesn't cost money, or very little."
"To be able to give the weapons in the test to the Tisiphone family must be something that only the top faction within Roulna can do."
"Once they intervene, it means that the balance and tacit understanding between the seven countries of Xuehua are about to be broken."
Geelin spoke out his worst fears.
"Could it be that the Roulna side thinks that the musket is something that is unsuccessful, so they dispose of it casually?"
"No, I've been to Roulna with Angus and representatives of other big chambers of commerce, that group of mages attach great importance to technology, even in China, they are divided into several factions, and it is not easy to impart core knowledge to the outside world, generally speaking, which academy you graduate from, you will naturally be labeled as a certain faction, and if you want to learn the things of other factions, you will be subject to many obstacles."
"Doesn't that limit the development of technology?"
"Yes, but they also have their own reasons."
"This is the valuable information that their teachers and their teachers have spent several generations experimenting and accumulating data, and then obtained valuable information, during which countless people's efforts and resources have been spent. Therefore, it is difficult for people who are not from this faction to know about the cutting-edge technology of other factions. ”
"What about this year's agreement?" Lorain Hill asked, confused.
"Well, the agreement is a creation of each faction, we can buy it, and there is no longer a limit, but how this thing is made, they won't tell us the principle"
"It's not hard for businessmen to accept as long as the price is reasonable." Geelin replied.
"Actually, what you deduced before is likely to be true, that is, Rovner has begun to interfere in the internal affairs of Virga, and Jubere's side is closer to Rovner, and it is very likely that the other party has succeeded."
"In other words, after a long time, you will not only have to face the three alliances of Tisiphone in Hoppelan, but also the enemy reinforcements from the side of Eubere."
"Whoever is plotting in the dark can only maximize the benefits by obtaining the whole of Velga, and they will not give up on Hopeland."
"So, my Lacey 'niece', Angus's client, are you ready?"
Speaking of this, Jerink slowly let go of his hand, picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and moistened his throat.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was about the same age as Angus, he calmly held the teacup, and Lorain Hill smiled.
"Since you said so, clever Uncle Jelinck, you must have a solution."
"That's not going to sell it, please tell me." Loren Hill blinked rarely, and squeezed slightly.
"Hahaha, am I so easy to see through?"
Jaelin smiled proudly, and then didn't deliberately get stuck and didn't speak, and spoke.
"Back then, Angus and I were able to prosper, and it was all due to a certain luck, we unearthed an ancient ruin, and then handed it over to the mage of the Hinyue Council, and since then, we have established a relationship, and obtained a trade license in the Southern Islands that many large chambers of commerce did not have at that time, and then soared into the sky."
"If you know the origin of the two countries, you will know that Rourna has always been at odds with the Kingdom of the Berries, and although both sides are the kingdom of mages, they regard each other as hereticals. This is also the reason why the United Kingdom of Hinso Moon and Cranberry was reluctant to join the Seven Snowwalkers. ”
"Both countries believe that they are the rightful heirs of the Oz kingdom at that time, and they have been arguing for hundreds of years."
"The rise of Karitas can also be said to have originated from the support of the Fledgling Moon, if you ask for help as the heir of Angus, and show that it is because of the suppression of the Urna Kingdom, they will not say that they will help you defeat Euberet, but there is absolutely no problem in keeping Hopland."
"Because they don't want to see their opponents expand their territory and strength so wantonly."
Jaelin showed Lorain Hill a clear path.
——
After the dinner, as the members of the Agetilyn family were about to say goodbye and leave, Ricky pulled Lorain Hill aside to whisper.
"Lacey, if you really can't hold on, just take a boat and go to sea, I heard my father say that Karides set up many branches in the Southern Islands in the early years, although it has been a bit barren over the years, but it can still be used, at least it can be preserved."
She looked at this good friend with a little worry, she has been familiar with many people since she was a child, but the one who can talk about everything is the one in front of her.
"Thank you, Ricky."
Lorain Hill hugged his friend, felt a wave of warmth, and spoke.
"It's okay, I'll protect myself."
"Did you practice what you were given before?" Lorain Hill whispered in her ear.
"Yes, it's amazing, it's amazing." At this point, Ricky's eyes lit up.
"So, since I can give you this information, I will definitely not be weak. So don't worry, don't worry about me, you yourself too, don't stay in Hopland during this time, and come back when everything is smooth. ”
"yes, I know." Ricky nodded, then let go of her hand, ready to leave.
"See you later, then, Lacey."
"Well, goodbye."
Lorain Hill also waved his hand and watched as the Agetilin family got into the carriage and slowly left.
