Chapter 514: Finding Clues
Lu Zhou thought about it a lot, and he compared it with the information he had obtained before by recalling the map, and guessed that it was not yet the time for the mastermind behind the scenes. Otherwise, the town's request for grain would not have been repeatedly denied.
Only when the barbarians began to move south, would the mastermind behind the scenes find a reason to bring out Pedenora's food a day or two in advance.
The other party was waiting, which undoubtedly gave Zhou Zhan some time to investigate. Now, Zhou felt that there was not much time left for him. For the game between the human and barbarian races, Zhou Zhensheng always felt that both sides would lose their vitality. Of course, this is not to say that they will be stuck in a stalemate because of the war, and they will not be able to withdraw their hands. Zhou felt that there would be a third party, or even the intervention of the Quartet, which made the direction of the war blurred.
These feelings are not without reason. After walking in the miraculous snow field, although he and Alan did not deliberately investigate, they were still able to learn some useful information.
In the southern part of this snowfield, in addition to the traces of barbarians and human races, there are no traces of mages, priests, elves and other alien races, but the number of them is very small. Especially in the past 100 years, the climate has warmed, and their frequency is even lower.
Where did they go?
This question, Zhou Zhishu felt that the most likely person to know was limited to the high-level of the two clans. These things seem to have nothing to do with the war between humans and barbarians, but the incomplete human structure and the barbarians who are good at forbearance are different from the miracles that Zhou Zhan learned from Salamander.
Although all this has little to do with Zhou Zhan's injury, it is not Zhou's character to have revenge and not take revenge. If you want to get paid quickly and withdraw at any time, you must grasp the changes in the general trend. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to get out of the whirlpool of turmoil and contention.
Zhou Zhenshu has always taken the high-level route, and suddenly walked through the miracle snow field in a low-key manner, making a common-sense mistake. That is the accuracy and scope of the map.
The ancient kingdoms were ruled by fools, and the accuracy and area of their maps can be referred to the maps drawn by the Tsai Ing-wen administration after 2015. In addition to exaggerating one's own territory, the biggest feature is that only a part of the hostile forces is drawn, or not at all. As for the map of the entire continent? This kind of thing may be in the hands of the king only.
Zhou Zhan undoubtedly belonged to the people who were pitted by the 'map opening up the territory' technique, and those other forces did not exist, but because the climate change was separated by a mountain range in the north a hundred years ago. In other words, because of the sudden climate change a hundred years ago, the human and barbarian races have been comfortable for more than a hundred years.
Perhaps it was the inspiration of fate, on the day Zhou Xuanshu arrived here, not only did this comfortable place suddenly descend to the university. The mountains that separate the area are also experiencing a change in temperature.
The continuous warming caused the snow to melt in the mountains, and the moat that separated the two places also tended to be gradually opened up due to the continuous and steady rise in temperature.
Zhou Xuan, who knew nothing about all this, came to the main city of Pednora with Alan very smoothly.
"Alan, you go to the high-end clubhouse and secretly inquire about the Rosemary family. I went to the civilian area to find news of the Kira Joints. ”
Knowing that his dignity was easy to cause trouble, Zhou Xuan, decisively assigned Alan to the nobles to inquire about the news of the Rosemary family, and dug along the line of Kira. As for why didn't you catch Kira tortured before? Zhou Zhan felt that there was no need for this! If you change to yourself, you won't reveal your identity with this kind of bad gambler.
Even if Kira is captured and tortured, the most likely thing is that it will only startle the snake, so it is better to find out the movements of this guy secretly. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to find something and succeed in catching the person he connects.
On top of that, Kira's idiot didn't even know that death was waving at him now. According to the ruthlessness of the mastermind behind the scenes, Kira's departure from her hometown is only a dead end. If he is the mastermind behind the scenes, will he be given a sum of money to retire in the city for this kind of worthless goods?
Of course not, only the dead do not divulge secrets. When he leaves Sarktown, it may be time to die.
After inquiring about the address given by Old Jack, Zhou Zhishu successfully found the shop where Kira had delivered in the past.
Zhou Xuan, who arrived at the destination, glanced at the steel products in the shop, and roughly knew the operation of this blacksmith shop.
"Hey, the boss's civilian tools are selling well!"
The blacksmith, who was busy pounding the crimson iron ingots on the anvil, asked without raising his head, "Is that the guest in fancy such a thing?" Or do you want to make it to order? ”
"The owner stuff was good, but it didn't work for me. I'm not here to buy something, I'm just here to ask the boss about the situation? ”
The boss, who was busy beating the iron ingot, did not ignore Zhou Zhixing's imagination, nor did he directly and enthusiastically help Zhou Xuanxing, but asked rhetorically: "Oh? Whatever you come to do. There is a price to pay! Since I don't look down on Farr's craftsmanship, it's better to help me make iron for a long time. When the time comes, if you want to know anything, I will answer you based on your degree of completion. ”
Zhou Zhishu thought that this blacksmith boss was a very interesting person. However, the conditions proposed by the others can be regarded as a fair deal, and Zhou Zhenshu did not refuse and said bluntly: "No problem, it's fair!" However, the Farr blacksmith didn't want the ingots to be wasted, and needed more guidance. ”
'Ding~Ding~Ding~'
This beating sound lasted until half a day after the appointment.
Farr sighed with pity in his eyes: "You are really a natural blacksmith, but it's a pity that your heart will not be on the matter of striking iron." Say, what do you want to ask? ”
"Kira's casino in Sacktown, you know?"
After listening to Zhou's question, Farr asked incredulously, "That's what you're asking?" You actually fought for a long time for this? ”
Seeing Zhou Zhisheng nodded, Farr sighed and said, "I'm more and more optimistic about you walking on the blacksmith road!" Although I know that it is useless to persuade you, I still hope that you will think about it. As for the gambling house frequented by Kilar's gamblers, it is in the third alley of West Street. ”
"Thanks, Farr Blacksmith. I'm not saying there's something wrong with your craft, but these things really don't work for me! ”
After Zhou finished speaking, he picked up a cooled iron ingot and pinched it with his hand, and the whole iron ingot began to deform from the stressed part. After doing all this, Zhou Zhan was injured, threw a silver coin in his hand, and walked away with the pinched deformed iron ingot.
Not long after, Zhou Xuan, who came to the gambling house, habitually glanced at the entire gambling hall. Then, he was not in a hurry to inquire, and threw a gold coin on the table.
Sure enough, the person in charge of the gambling hall also watched people place orders, and directly invited Zhou Zhixing to play something 'big' in person.
In the face of the 'warm invitation' of the casino talker, Zhou Zhensheng did not refuse, and directly followed him into the private room in the back hall.
Looking at the guy of the unknown race in front of him, he 'entered the set' with an indifferent look, and the person talking in the gambling hall sneered, and his voice became more respectful.
As everyone knows, Zhou Zhenshu originally wanted to take down this person in a place where there were few people to torture the news about the contact person with Kira.
