Volume 3: The Divider Chapter 177: Preparation

The old patriarch of Fulin glanced up at Du Dian and said, "You don't seem surprised. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Du Dian smiled slightly and said, "Why be surprised? ”

"Alchemists are evil and shady beings, and isn't it surprising that nobles who are so high up that even knights are loyal to them have dealings with these evil and filthy creatures?" The old patriarch of Fulin looked at him.

Du Dian smiled faintly and said: "Everyone has a dark side, not to mention you nobles, even if you are a pope of light, I believe that there are also unsightly secrets, so there is nothing to be surprised about, if there is no despicable and dirty means, relying on the integrity alone, how can you live a nourishing life, after all, the resources of this world are limited, if you live well, it means that someone has a bad life, and the bad will naturally try their best to take you away." ”

The old patriarch of Fulin looked at him silently and said, "This is all what you learned in prison?" ”

"It's just a very simple rule, everyone knows it, there's not much to learn." Du Dian said indifferently: "Do you know which nobles there are and there are alchemists working for them?" ”

The old patriarch of Fulin glanced at him, sighed lightly, and said, "This is too much, basically all the upper-class nobles have something to do with alchemists or the Dark Holy See behind their backs, including the military department. ”

"Then do you know who the alchemists behind the Milan family and the Bronn family are?" Dudian asked again.

The old patriarch shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, the communication between each family and the alchemist is extremely secret, except for the cronies who the patriarch trusts very much, even the children of the family may not know, let alone other outsiders." However, if you want to know, you can look for clues from their family's various industries, alchemists help nobles develop new products and sell them, if you can find someone who joins the Dark Church, you can trace the approximate identity from the alchemy of the new product, and of course, this is also a lot of gold coins. ”

Du Di'an's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "The nobles and the alchemists communicate secretly, does the Bright Sect know?" ”

"They're not stupid, they know." The old patriarch of Fulin sighed: "It's just that although the Holy See of Light has a huge power and a wide range of believers, after all, it still has to rely on our nobles, if the economic system of the nobles collapses, the losses caused to the commoners will be greater, and then it will cause a series of chain reactions, in our circle, it is called a currency storm, once it happens, it will even cause riots in various regions, which is something that the Holy See of Light does not want to see." ”

Du Dian knew that the currency storm in his mouth was similar to the financial crisis in the old era, and said: "So, is the Holy See of Light turning a blind eye? ”

"Not really." The old patriarch of Fulin shook his head slightly, and said: "If there is no conclusive evidence, the rash search of the nobles will cause a collective backlash from other nobles, which is feared by the Bright Sect, so although they know that most of the nobles have dealings with alchemists, they have no way to track it down, because they have no evidence in their hands, and once they have the evidence, even an ancient family like the Mel family will be exterminated!" ”

Du Di'an's eyes froze, and it seemed that he still underestimated the power of the Bright Holy See.

"In the town of Yard, your family has their own shop, right?" Dudian asked in a different direction.

The old patriarch of Fulin was slightly stunned for a moment, and said, "What do you mean by asking this, do you want to borrow it?" ”

"Well, borrow it for a while, and I'll pay it back to you at the rental price afterwards."

"Are you selling something or what?" The old patriarch of Fulin looked at him suspiciously.

"Sell something." A smile appeared on Du Dian's face, and he said, "It just so happens that I also know an alchemist, and it can be regarded as a way to get a fortune for our consortium, how about it?" ”

"Do you know an alchemist?" The old patriarch of Fulin had his pupils shrunk and looked at him in surprise, "How do you know each other?" Weren't you in prison before? ”

"This is my private matter, so don't ask more." Dudian reminded.

The old patriarch of Fulin reacted, still looking at him in disbelief, and finally gave up asking, "What faction is this alchemist friend you know?" ”

Du Di was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that this old man knew a lot about alchemists, and said: "It's from the material faction, I got an alchemy given by him, and I will go to collect materials and make it tomorrow, and I should be able to make a lot of money." ”

The old patriarch of Fulin breathed a sigh of relief, the nobles liked to associate with the alchemists of the material faction the most, neither like the potions master who needed to be treated with care and politeness to avoid anger, nor did he have to be frightened like the alchemist of the life faction.

"Is this your gift to me?" The old patriarch of Fulin sighed: "I didn't expect you to have such a backstage, what level is this alchemist?" ”

"It's going to be high." Dudian replied briefly.

The old patriarch of Fulin didn't hear anything unusual, and said with a smile: "It's good to be very high, if it's a two-star or three-star alchemist, our Ryan family may be able to turn around a little, at least when facing the suppression of other consortia, it won't be powerless." ”

Seeing that he was still testing the specific information, Du Dian smiled faintly and said, "It's not early, I should go back." ”

The old patriarch of Fulin couldn't see any thoughts from Du Di'an's expression, and said secretly in his heart: "When I heard the three-star alchemist, my face didn't change a bit, even if it wasn't three-star, most of it was two-star." Thinking of this, my heart was a little happy, and at the same time, I quickly thought about my plan.

Next.

Dudian traveled to several other nearby towns to buy materials such as yellow phosphorus, timber and red phosphorus, and then to another more remote town, where he temporarily rented a small workshop with a gold coin, and then transported the purchased materials here.

In this process, Du Dian originally thought that the old patriarch of Fulin would send someone to follow him, but he didn't expect to smell the smell of tracking along the way, and immediately remembered that this old man had probably known about his demon mark ability through the Mellon consortium before, so he didn't do useless work.

After the materials were ready, it was already afternoon, and Dudian thought of the opening party of the consortium in the evening, and immediately stopped what he was doing, and prepared to wait for tomorrow to go to the slave market and hire a few workers to come and start work.

Night fell quickly.

After a whole day of dressing, the castle of Lane became a lot more lively, and the lamp oil on the walls everywhere was replaced with white fat oil of higher value, which burned brightly, and there was no strange smell, and there was even a faint fragrance.

The lawn in the castle has long been trimmed, the road is exceptionally clean, and the knights on duty in the castle have repeatedly rubbed their armor that has not been washed for a long time. (To be continued.) )
