098 Cooperation
"Did you misunderstand something?"
As soon as Old Jack's words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
Fortunately, this delicate atmosphere did not last long, and Old Jack's next sentence broke this delicate atmosphere.
"Haven't you always been our 'forest keeper'? We're all in this together! How could I not support you? ”
Old Jack's words made Karen's eyes narrow, and she seemed to be surprised by Old Jack's reaction.
Looking at Karen's surprised reaction, Old Jack couldn't help but show a hearty laugh: "You don't know what a 'forest keeper' is, the system of 'forest keeper' was created by the previous generalissimo.
The purpose is what you know, to scout and control the borders of the kingdom.
But you may not know the authority of the 'Forest Keeper', the 'Forest Keeper' actually has the power to support the border forces, such as the original ghost, and now it can be you!
As long as you are honorably recognized as a neutral force supported by my 'Forest Keepers', your previous battles with Ryan, and all the plans you have undertaken, we 'Forest Rangers' can be of maximum help to you. ”
Hearing this, Karen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was very surprised by Old Jack's words, he thought that Old Jack would cooperate with him, but he didn't expect Old Jack to give him so much support.
"Actually, you don't have to wonder about anything, with your current strength, it's normal for the 'forest guards' to make this reaction and this attitude.
Although there are still elite legions in Lunatic City that can fight you, now that you control the Goblin Forest, it is unlikely that the Kingdom will agree to send troops against you unless it is absolutely compelled to do so.
Although reluctant to admit it, the kingdom has always been cautious about dealing with the Silver Hand.
In this case, it becomes the only option to subdue you, and if I can win you over and make you a neutral force supported by the 'Forest Keepers', it will be a great credit to me. ”
Despite Old Jack's words, Karen was still a little surprised, but after a moment of silence, she asked, "I have a few questions I want to ask." ”
"You say!" Old Jack nodded immediately.
"First, what do I need to do to become a neutral force supported by the 'Forest Keepers'?"
"Nothing is needed from you except to put your hand into the kingdom of hope, and nothing is expected of you.
Of course, it would be best if you could give the 'Foresters' some more benefits when the Border City Trade Plan was launched. ”
Karen's eyes narrowed, and then asked: "Second, everyone knows that the trading kingdom with the Silver Hand can obtain huge economic benefits, and from all indications, the Silver Hand is also interested in this, but why doesn't the kingdom handle this matter himself?" ”
Karen's question seemed to make Old Jack think about something, his face couldn't help but change, and he was a little gloomy, but he still opened his mouth to answer this question after a long time.
"In fact, trade is good for the kingdom, everyone knows this, in fact, the kingdom has actually traded with foreign countries before.
That event was promoted by the previous Generalissimo, and the trade between the two countries was opened on the northern border of the kingdom in a city on the border with the Silver Hand.
In the beginning, the kingdom did reap great benefits.
The kingdom grew rapidly, but then something happened, and a great war broke out around that town, and the kingdom suspended trade with the Silver Hand ever since.
As a result, several wars broke out between the two sides due to the suspension of trade with the Silver Hand, and although the kingdom finally managed to drive out the Silver Hand invasion, the relationship between the two countries fell to a freezing point, and the official trade channels between the two countries were closed.
Now the kingdom prohibits all trade with the silver hand, of course, if you come to do this thing, the kingdom will not interfere. ”
Old Jack's passage is a bit informative.
Karen knew very well that there must be a lot of hidden secrets in this.
Otherwise, he couldn't figure out why a kingdom that feared the Silver Hand would rather give up its wealth, and would rather fight the Silver Hand than shut down the official channels of trade with the Silver Hand.
Moreover, the degree of confidentiality of this matter seems to be very high, and even Cliff, the deputy city keeper of the city, does not know, which also proves one thing, the old Jack in front of him is definitely not simple.
Later, Karen, who had sorted out her emotions, asked Old Jack a few questions one after another, from all sides, but mainly around the border city trade that Karen was going to carry out next.
As for Karen's question, Old Jack can be said to know everything, and basically gave Karen an answer, but it's hard to say if it's not endless.
However, despite this, Karen still obtained a lot of information from Old Jack that even Cliff did not know.
And after talking for a long time, the two finally entered the final stage.
Old Jack didn't hide anything, he directly explained his purpose, he hoped that Karen would be able to hand over the ghost to him.
A third-order outstanding existence, even if he knew from Old Jack's mouth that he was a ghost, Karen would not be reluctant, and Old Jack had already said very reasonably that he could give Karen the ghost channel that Karen needed.
He can even send Karen a batch of supplies he needs, whether it is [Whispers of the Dead] or corpses, and they can be delivered to VIPs first.
Old Jack said this, and Karen naturally had no choice but to agree.
After the two sides reached a consensus on all sides, their meeting ended again.
Seeing this old Jack leave, Karen's eyes couldn't help but narrow.
How to say it, although she got everything Karen wanted from Old Jack's side, Karen felt that Old Jack was a little too good to herself?
"Is it because of the mud fu?"
Karen tilted her head in thought, and then reversed the idea: "Probably not, there should be another reason, it seems necessary for Cliff to investigate a little bit of Old Jack."
However, this matter is not in a hurry, now that the Bourbon Kingdom has dealt with it almost completely, it is the turn of the Silver Hand to take care of it next.
If I can deal with the Silver Hand side smoothly, I will be able to truly establish myself in the Goblin Forest. ”
As for the problem on the Silver Hand's side, Karen is still very confident, after all, everything he should prepare has been prepared, the undead miner, the border city trade plan, these are the most interesting to the Silver Hand, if nothing else, Karen should be able to successfully solve the Silver Hand's side.
