"Bizan, have you really seen a high-ranking official of the Northern Empire?"

In the central city-state of Virginia, in a clearing on the outskirts of the western part of the city, a group of local peasants surrounded the bard and asked him.

Holding the harp in his hand, Bizan casually plucked the strings, and after outlining a string of notes, nodded seriously and said, "Of course." ”

What he said was half-true, this guy turned out to be a wandering singer, but unfortunately he had no longevity and no fame, so that he was ragged and hungry every day, and whenever he was hungry, Bizan would choose to sleep to resist the hunger in his stomach.

Later, one day, I don't know if it was because I was faint from hunger, or because I slept too long, Bizan saw a man in a black robe in a trance, the cuffs were embroidered with black claws, the guy handed him an apple, Bizan swallowed it without hesitation, and later, Bizan found that he gradually mastered a shallow trick called "bewilderment".

In order to do a good job in intelligence work, find out all kinds of news, and integrate into all kinds of groups and classes, the intelligence department of the Black Wing Empire is expanding its external staff as much as possible, and Caesar's strategy is to infiltrate various countries through shapeshifters, and then use this as a base point to develop downlines, Bizan is one of the countless downlines in the trade city-state that are colored by transformers.

In addition to investigating the intelligence situation of the Virginia city-state, Bizan also shouldered the important task of establishing a subordinate intelligence station and doing a good job in public opinion, he not only wanted to promote the ruthlessness and toughness of the Immortal Empire, but also satirized the selfishness and weakness of the head of the trade city-state, and prepared for the future blackwing empire to win over certain city-states.

"I've heard that the Northern Empire is not as vicious and unruly as it is rumored, but rather very friendly?" One of the townspeople asked.

"Friendly or not, I don't really know." I don't know how many times Bizan has said something similar in front of many people: "But I can assure you: I have traveled to so many countries, and those territories with black-winged flags are the most peaceful and orderly places I have ever seen, and the laws of that country are strict and fair, and there is no impartiality." ”

"If this happened in the north today, I don't know what would happen over there." Some peasants sighed.

Another peasant said hatefully: "Anyway, it will never be like this, these nobles not only have to collect our taxes, but also rob our grain, what is the difference between such a lord and a robber?" ”

On the one hand, the leader of the city-state, Tashanmu, signed the "Eladya Trade Regulations" and the "Military Assistance Regulations" with the Immortal Empire, severing communication with the north and lowering an iron curtain across Eladia.

On the other hand, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the Blackwing Empire and the Clans of the Snake Cred, the Central and Northlands have successfully established a seventh secret trade route, and there are four city-states that have relied on the secret trade with the Northlands to make huge profits: Nice, Orsay, Purin, and Sarin.

It is impossible for the local city lords to be unaware of such a scale of trade, which only shows that nearly half of the city-states have violated the ban agreement of the city-state leader and ruler of the whole territory, Tashanmu, and the rulers of Nicetu and Orsay, the Duke of Brubrand and the Duke of Cain Ciri, have even quietly traveled to the north to sign a secret agreement with the Emperor of the North.

Having said that, as soon as Bizan arrived in the city-state of Virginia, the city was in a relatively special situation, and because of its proximity to Nice, the people of Virginia saw first-hand the economic development and rising standard of living of Nice, which was in decline due to trade with the north. In search of opportunities to make a fortune, many people began to migrate to Nice, and calls for the ban on trade intensified.

After investigation, the intelligence department of the Black Wing Empire believed that Vegia was a target that could be fought for, so they sent a large number of "Bizan" into Vigia to guide public opinion to grasp as many people as possible and pave the way for what might happen next.

Bizan put down the harp in his hand and pretended to mention casually: "I have heard that Mien is also going to open up a trade route to the north." ”

The townspeople were stunned, and some of them asked curiously: "The fan is right next to Pudasius, under the nose of the head of Tashanmu, how dare they disobey the ban of the ruler of the whole realm?" ”

"Sounds incredible, doesn't it?"

Bizan said with interest: "But the wise man may have expected that the ruler of the Grace, Alpha Ciri, and the ruler of Orsay, Cain Hirry, are brothers of the same father and mother, and since the city of Orsay has fallen to the north, it is only natural that the city of Grace will follow, and this is an open secret. The words of the head of Tashanmu no longer work, since the Empire of Immortality can't give us anything, why should we listen to it? ·

After hearing this, one of them suddenly thought, "Since everyone is doing this, why can't we do the same?" ”

"Don't think about it."

The companion next to him had a posture that saw through everything: "The lord of our lordship, it is Grand Duke Fei Onan, he is the adopted son of the previous head of state, a staunch supporter of the protection of the whole territory, Duke Fei Onan strictly forbade us to have any contact with the Northland, I heard from a friend that this lord even sent troops to build passes, block trade routes, and interfere in the affairs of the city of the Inland Sea, and Nice now does not allow the Vigians to enter the city." ”

After saying this, the atmosphere became a little dull, and many of the townspeople stopped talking, and the man looked at the people who had fallen to the left and right, and said, "But I heard that the Marquis of Joseph has been campaigning for this matter, trying to convince Archduke Fay Onan, that this lord still has a lot of weight in his words, and that the Marquis of Joseph should be the original ...... of Veguia."

"Say no more!"

When he said this, he was interrupted by a frightened citizen, and when he looked back, his eyes were full of uneasiness: "God bless, the guards and sergeants have heard this, and we are all doomed." ”

These words seemed to be like a basin of cold water, pouring the people who pointed out the country back to reality, they realized that they were just some small characters at the bottom of the city-state such as farmers, craftsmen, and helpers, and those big people could kill themselves with a word, and the whole scene suddenly cooled down, and no one spoke anymore.

"Hey."

After a long time, Bizan sighed, picked up the harp and said, "I should go to the tavern, if I don't get the reward at night, my stomach will be lost today." As he spoke, he gave a vague glance to the person who answered the conversation, signaling that the two were ready to leave separately at this end for the day.

However, at this moment, a figure rushed from the town, panting and shouting, "Something is wrong!" ”

"Slow down, what's new?" When he approached, someone asked.

"Grand Duke Fay Onan, assassinated in the theater in the afternoon!"
