Chapter 706: Intelligence
In a sense, I'm in a good mood, especially when I get rid of all the troubles.
I know that soon, the news of Roland's departure from the Northland will spread, and people who care will take the initiative to come to the door.
But whether you can find me or not depends on my mood.
"Heroise brand easy mask is easy to use, cheap, and can be increased."
Recently, I have noticed that Heroise is becoming more and more functional, and it is getting easier and easier to use...... Ahem, the dead cat is showing its teeth again, I respect myself.
Since I was gathering information, I would go to several places for sightseeing at intervals along the way.
The home of the local thieves' guild, adventurer's guild, and chamber of commerce president, these local snakes are well-informed (all the ill-informed ones are hanging), as well as the original information on the front line, which is very useful.
Those who do not understand intelligence work often think that intelligence is to collect information on all aspects, and as long as they have money and send enough intelligence personnel, they can know everything.
But in reality this kind of thinking is extremely layman's.
Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, every line, every industry, in fact, the information collected is different.
The intelligence officers of the thieves' union are all beggars and thieves, they live at the bottom of the society, and they collect a lot of information, from the increase in food prices to a certain noble lord marrying Xiao Eleven, but because the flow of information is too large, after being sorted out, there is only power, money, and information related to struggle, and the source of information is only limited to the city, and it is only limited to the city where it is located.
It's not wrong to find someone in a certain city, check his details, and find a thief's union. This is also a long-term and stable source of income for the thieves' union.
But if it's a treasure hunt or something. Be careful of being hacked by them. These lists, which involve important interests, cannot be handed over to these greedy thieves.
The Adventurers' Association, on the contrary, has more information sources than a few professional spies, more of which are actively and passively submitted by adventurers. is the only source of intelligence.
They can be found for Warcraft, wild ruins, eyewitness intelligence in the marginal areas, etc., but their intelligence has the same problem as the Thieves' Guild, which is too much and too complicated and difficult to distinguish between true and false, and it is very easy to sort out, and because their intelligence collators are not professional enough, the situation is much worse than that of the Thieves' Guild.
But they have a good reputation and can often hire good helpers.
Half of the chamber's intelligence sources are bought, and the thieves' guild and the adventurer's guild are their intelligence sources, and the other half. But it is collected and sorted out from a huge flow of information.
The information they collect is basically related to money. But the advantage is that not only the area involved is huge, but the period involved is longer.
It sounds puzzling, but for example, it is simple, for example, from the chamber of commerce in a certain wool-rich area, you can know the price of wool in a large area, a country, several countries (according to the strength of the chamber of commerce), the origin of the information, for example, there is a war in a certain place, resulting in the blockage of that section of the transportation route, how far the cost will rise in half a year, how long the war is expected to last, whether it is possible to stock up, etc.
This sounds unreliable, but due to the power of gold coins, the wide range of intelligence sources, and professional analysts, and even the big chambers of commerce can actively interfere in the development of the industry and affect the course of the war.
A commodity, from the weather, manpower, industrial intelligence, and public security required for production, to the security of the area involved in transportation, the war zone, to the degree of greed and taxation of the local nobles in the places it passes, to the average salary, living standard, and purchasing desire of the purchasers, the real big businessman is definitely a first-class intelligence collector and collator.
As for the intelligence sources of the nobility and the royal family, they are actually not reliable, they are directly linked to the ability of the individual and the history of the family.
And the scope of the nobles' intelligence is often related to war, politics, and aristocratic families, and the lack of grassroots sources is actually the most unreliable, and I don't bother to look for it, so I directly ask the Northland Lan Alliance to exchange information through diplomatic channels, and if it involves Cavins, give it to me directly.
It's just that the eyes are on the top of the head, and the information is obviously not very good, and they are all regarded as treasures, which is super difficult to deal with, and it makes people even more unmotivated.
Contrary to the average adventurer, in my eyes, the first source of information is the Chamber of Commerce, followed by the Thieves' Guild and the Adventurer's Guild, and the last is the all-powerful royal spies in the legendary novels.
But along the way, the harvest .......
"The legendary golden-armored knight rode an iron horse and led a black cat to gallop through the wilderness, his great sword thirsting for the blood of the demons...... Poof, Roland, how does it feel to be a legendary demon hunter? Great sword ride? ”
What is this? Why did I become the key intelligence when I was looking for information......
If you look for Cavins, you can't look for it directly, even if you throw this face into the wanted column, you will only find Roland in the end......
But Cavins is the Prince of the Abyss, and his subordinates are all but demons, and there are great cultists, and these guys, who are not good at hiding their whereabouts, frizzy demons and nervous cultists, will definitely cause something trouble on the main plane.
No matter what Cavins is going to do now, he will definitely not be able to bypass the main plane.
And since I know that what he can send out is either a demon or a cultist, then I only need to lock down the cultist and the demon.
Okay, I know that's not reliable, but at least before you make it to the Land of Mages, you might want to give it a try, and maybe there's something to be added to.
"Well, the hero saves beauty seven times, destroys the cult altar three times, kills a dozen demon warlocks, the great demon hunter knight, 'You are invincible, why is your sword so yellow, because it is stained with the blood of the devil's brimstone' (bard aria)?"
“…… I just think that the basic quality of those stupid bards needs to be improved, the blood of demons is not yellow, and besides, there are no heroes to save beauty, only heroes save aunts four times, grandma once, and bear children twice. Cut, this year, the devil sacrifices and doesn't take some fresh goods. ”
Now that the information of the demons and cultists is in hand, it is natural to find out whether it is or not.
Crashing into the altar of cultists and the evil sacrifices of demonic sorcerers, I wanted to say, "I'm sorry to find the wrong person," but others didn't believe it.
Not to mention, the level of demon warlocks has risen a lot recently, but the aesthetics have dropped a lot, at least the demon warlocks we killed back then were sacrificed by young women.
"Think about your luck, is it your turn to save the beauty? If you have an aunt to save you, you will be satisfied. ”
"Shut up, dead cat."
The final result was that I killed all the way, and in addition to swiping a lot of justice points, I also won the hilarious title of 'Selfless Golden Sword and Golden Armor Demon Hunter'...... Isn't this Galen? Or the next time you jump out of the grass, shout two Demacia to suit the occasion.
Not to mention, because they are all free (by the way) demon hunting, they turn around and leave after fighting monsters, but they are still difficult opponents that ordinary adventurers can't deal with, and they are all killed all the way, and their strength is amazing, this funny identity and reputation are very fast, and the idle and boring bards have begun to cheat money nonsense.
Of course, there are also benefits, in the past, it was to spend money to buy intelligence, and to be asked back and forth, and in the end it was often necessary to use force, but now when you arrive in a certain place, the information is sent to the door by yourself, and it is deeply afraid that the "free thugs" are gone, and there are still remaining demons here, and another trouble is to distinguish which information is not malicious to get rid of the framing of competitors.
"Come on, you're a big spy of the Lan League, it's good that others didn't look for you."
Yes, along the way, I have collected geographical, war, commercial, aristocratic and other information, which is the most rare first-hand information, I am afraid that when I am free, the mainland intelligence map of the Donglan Principality can be directly reconstructed and drawn.
Moreover, this information is the latest information from the time of the holy war, and it is also the geographical information of the place through which the Lan Meng passed all the way south...... As for me, I have no intention of moving south, at least not now.
And now, in an area called Fortress Castle, an unexpected piece of information from the Thieves' Guild caught my attention.
"The former saint fell unexpectedly. fell, conceived a demon fetus, and corrupted into a witch? Is this a plot? (To be continued.) )
