Chapter 142: Selling Intelligence
Finely snowflakes fell on Locke's body one by one, covering his open body, but he ignored it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Just when Locke's mood was stirring, the sound of creaking and stepping on the snow fell on Locke's ears.
"What are you doing here?" The elven girl's voice reached Locke's ears.
Locke didn't reply, he lowered his arm, his eyes still closed.
The crunch of snow soon came to him, and he stopped in front of him.
There was a sound of clothes rubbing, and soon a scented thing rubbed against his face.
Norris carefully took the silk handkerchief in her hand, wiped the snow on Locke's face, and said with some complaints, "Aren't you cold?" ”
"Such a big person, how would he do such a childish thing?" Locke listened to the elf girl's words of concern, and couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
Locke opened his eyes and saw a red-faced Norris in front of him, staring at himself with his eyes and teeth biting his lower lip.
"You're going to have to pay attention to who you are, okay?" Seeing Locke looking at him with a grin, Norris couldn't help but be angry, "You are now the commander of the legion, how can you still be like this?" If it weren't for Inspector Shiloh coming to me personally, how long would you be standing here? ”
"Sorry to worry you." Locke looked apologetically at the elf girl.
"Humph!" Norris turned her head and looked angrily at the snow on the side, not giving her a good look.
"Well, I was wrong, I apologize. I shouldn't have done that. Locke looked at her flushed face and asked, "Where's your mask?" Why don't you bring it, your face is red from the cold. ”
"Don't you know? Your face will also be frozen. In order to change the subject, Locke had to use this trick. Woman, that doesn't love beauty?
"Really?" Norris looked at him suspiciously, her azure eyes full of disbelief.
"Let's go, it's a long story. Go to the regimental headquarters, I'll tell you what's going on, I'm sure you'll wear a mask in the winter. ”
Locke turned around and led Norris on the road to Legion Headquarters.
"She's not there? She's not going to go to me. ”
"She? Who is she? ”
"Knowingly ask you!"
"Okay, Bridget is back in her room, she's hit by me today, and she's angry today."
"Oh? What's up? Tell me! Tell me about it! Fast! ”
"Well... After you left this morning..."
Locke's voice grew farther and farther away, leaving a trail of footprints behind them, and the fine snowflakes under the sky slowly covered the footprints, erasing the traces of their departure.

"Mr. Zax, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave again today." A forsaken man buried in a black robe, with an oil lamp in his hand, appeared in front of the house where the goblins were resting.
"Oh, that's bad news." Zax replied with some depression. He walked up to the Forsaken and said, "Thank you for my Queen, for her generosity, for keeping us here for a break from the snowstorm, and for your help, thank you." ”
Zax bows to the Forsaken.
"You're welcome, you're our friends now. Our queen appreciates your trade with us. As a friend, this is a small help. The Forsaken placed the oil lamp on the wall beside him, and he slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, at the same height as the goblin.
"All right, friend! Friend! Right! We're friends! Zax repeated the word friend in his mouth, but his heart was full of helplessness. Seriously, he really didn't want to be around these stenching living dead. But the form forced him not to do so, and he had to say some flattering words.
Opposite, the Forsaken's dim eyes flashed as he continued to say, "As a friend, I wonder if there are some things I can ask you?" ”
"Oh? Ask it, friend! Who made us friends now? Zax said with some interest. I know it all. ”
The Forsaken took off the hood of his black robes, revealing his face.
Zax couldn't help but take a step back, and he said helplessly, "Friend, do you know how terrible your face is? Do you want me to be unable to eat at night? ”
"Oh? I'm sorry! Then I'll put it on. The Forsaken said apologetically, trying to bring on his hood.
"No, no, no, you name it. Please forgive me for what I just said, I didn't mean to offend you, but you know," Zax gestured with his hands, "You all look, so... Oops..."
"There's no way, that's what I was when I got up from my grave." The Forsaken shrugged helplessly, "I want to be like the humans used to be, but I can't go back now. ”
The Forsaken's expression became a little lonely.
"Well, friend. Ask about something," the goblin pointed to the campfire burning nearby, and an iron pot with some meat boiling in it, "Look, our dinner is almost ready, so..."
Zax looked at him with some embarrassment and rubbed his hands.
"Oh good! I'll cut a long story short," the Forsaken looked up, looking at Zax with fiery eyes, "did you go over there after you left us last time?" ”
The Forsaken asked Zax, the goblin, pointing in the direction of the Crusaders.
Zax's eyes rolled, and he then nodded in the affirmative, "Yes, friend." We made a big circle around the camp of the Crusaders before we finally left. ”
"Can you tell me about what you've seen over there? There are also military facilities and the size of the army and so on. The Forsaken looked at him expectantly.
Hmph, I know! Something is almost certain to be wrong with you undead traps!
And voila! I guessed it!
What do you undead want to do, I don't know yet?! But not paying is like letting me tell you this?
There are no doors!
Trader Zax nodded, and then he rubbed his hands with a smile, "Friend, these are not pro bono services, these all need this." ”
Zax put his hand deep in his hand, rubbing his fingers.
"What is this?" The Forsaken looked at him with some confusion.
Zax couldn't help but roll his eyes, could it be that these guys died once, and even their brains were broken? It's asking for money! Friend!
"Friend, I'm going to take a lot of risk with all this news I'm telling you, so—" Zax hinted again.
"So what?" The Forsaken hurried over.
A foul smell hit, and Zax hurriedly took a few steps back.
"Stop, stop! Friend! I need money! Zax hurriedly told the Forsaken to stop leaning in, "I need money!" This information is of no use to me, but it is of great use to you. But I told you that it will be very risky for our future trade, so this will need some gold to compensate. ”
"Gold! Do you understand? ”
Zax pulled out a gold coin and placed it in his palm, gesturing it to the Forsaken.
"We goblins love peace and only love money. So, you give me money and I'll tell you! Zax directly named the intentions.
He really can't stand the brain circuits of this forsaken person, it seems that there is something really wrong with his brain!
"Oh! Well, wait! It dawned on the Forsaken that he pulled out a small bag at his side and handed him to the goblin.
"Take it, the money on it is enough to compensate you."
However, Zacks, the goblin, did not take the gold coin, and he looked at the money bag with some disgust.
The Forsaken looked at him suspiciously, then he looked at the money bag in his hand.
It turned out that on top of the money bag, there were several white, bulging maggots crawling on it.
"Hehe, please take your pets away, hehe." Goblin Zax awkwardly pointed at the wriggling maggots on it and said, "I don't need these little cuties of yours, I'll leave it to you." ”
The Forsaken let out a hoarse laugh as he grabbed all the maggots on it and stuffed them into his mouth, then chewed and watched the goblins.
"Not anymore! Take it. ”
Zax shivered with disgust as he looked at the liquid flowing from the corners of the Forsaken's mouth. He trembled and took out a white glove from his bag and put it on it, and then took the money bag. He opened them and glanced at them, placing them at his side.
"Well, I'll try to be as detailed as possible. Some places are heavily guarded, and we don't know. Zax thought for a moment and said.
"The Crusaders had an army of nearly 100,000 troops, and they had more than 100,000 refugees in the newly established town of Gadar. Their soldiers are armed to the teeth, and each one of them is very well trained. The morale of their soldiers is high, and their officer class is very young. ”
"The citizens there were very supportive of the Crusader administration. They long for this hard-won life, so if you go against them, you may suffer very great losses. ”
You should rejoice in that officer named Locke. If you hadn't told me that I had a big trade order in the future, I would have sold you up! I'll have to make up some lies to deal with them!
"Can you tell me the location of their military installations?" The Forsaken pulls out a piece of paper from his body, which is opened.
Zax looked over, and it was a map of Gadar, roughly drawn, with only a rough outline.
"I'm sorry, friend." Zax spread his hands helplessly, "I just stayed there for three days, and I didn't have time to investigate, and I left with them without selling the grain." ”
"Oh? Why wasn't the grain sold? Are there any other reasons? The Forsaken asked, grasping the focus.
"Oh this!" The goblin's eyes rolled twice, and he sighed and said, "My competitors got there ahead of time and sold them the grain in advance. The crusaders were not short of food now, so they did not buy us, so I left with it. ”
"Oh!" The Forsaken nodded, no matter what he said, he sat there thinking.
Zax took the opportunity to open the money bag that the undead had handed him, poured out a few gold coins inside, looked at it with his gloves, and then put it in his bag.
"Well, then, I won't disturb your dinner." The Forsaken stood up from the ground and said, "Take your leave." ”
Zax sent the Forsaken to the door and watched him stay away.
"Adida! Come here! Zax looked at the Forsaken as he walked away, shouting behind him.
"Head! What are you looking for from me? The goblin guards approached with their muskets in hand.
"Go! Tell our convoys to be optimistic about our food! Don't let the Forsaken be bad! ”
"Head, this snow outside can bury me, and you let me go out to deliver the letter?" Adida pointed to the outside and continued.
"Go! Don't delay! It's too uncomfortable and unsafe to be around these forsaken, and who knows if they'll experiment with us. As soon as the weather is a little better, we will leave! ”
"Okay, head. I'll go. ”
