Mortis was surprised not because he couldn't get the things on the list, but because the things on the list were too special.

In addition to the various very strange magic gems, the most important thing on the list given by Murray is that some of the mechanical parts are involved.

Although Motes did not understand machinery and industry, the nouns of these metal parts would be impressive in the eyes of any person in the Sun Empire.

Some of the parts were sold by Motes before, but they were actually sold to some black workshops.

The so-called black workshops are small workshops that have not been recognized by the empire itself, but have only been secretly formed with the support of some fiefdom lords, although they are certainly not as technically as regular factories as Uncle Raul, but the machinery they produce is definitely something that gangsters are eager for, and it is also the source of armaments for fief lords to form their own army.

It was precisely because of these things, which were commonly used in those black workshops, that Motes was shocked and didn't understand why the noble lady in front of him needed it?

Seeing Motes's surprised expression, Murray stepped forward and explained: "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Motes, we need these things, and we actually purchase them for others. ”

"Buying for someone?" Mortes was still a little skeptical, feeling that Murray's words were a little untrustworthy.

But Murray then said, "Mr. Mortes, you don't think that my wife and I are mechanical people, do you?"

Motes looked at the two of them carefully, and finally affirmed that the two people in front of him really didn't look like people who knew how to know machinery.

However, when he looked at Mori, he subconsciously glanced at the flintlock pistol under the clothes around his waist.

In the end, Motes could only nod and smile and said: "Hehehe, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter who buys it, as long as the two of you can afford the price, then naturally everything is easy to say, of course, some of the things in your list are very special, and you may need to add some fees." ”

Saria said very directly: "It's easy to talk about the cost and so on, but the things must be obtained as soon as possible." ”

As she spoke, Saria took out a magic crystal, handed it to Motes, and said, "This thing, even if it's a deposit." ”

As the master of the black market, he has naturally seen all kinds of treasures, and he is naturally very familiar with magic crystals.

But when he saw the magic crystal that Saliya had taken out, Motes was shocked again, and he was stunned and couldn't say a word.

After a long time, he closed his jaw that was almost shocked, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Madam, you, do you really want to use this as a deposit?"

Salia nodded calmly, "Yes, what's the matter?

Mortis hurriedly said: "No, no, no, no, madam, your deposit is actually too much, according to our rules, in fact, you don't have to give so much." ”

Despite all that being said, Motes doesn't really mean much to return.

Saria didn't care, but said directly: "Well, since you think it's too much, then break up a little change and give it to me, and by the way, we can buy some other things from you." ”

Hearing this, Motes was really excited, holding the magic crystal in both hands and asked, "Do you still want to buy anything? What do you need?" ”

Instead, Salia said directly, "We need some information, some useful information about the Empire and Viscount Lane. ”

Hearing this, the excitement on Mortes's face instantly subsided, and he looked at Saria with a deep gaze.

In the end, after Sariya put on makeup, she didn't gain anything on her indifferent face, and she could only say: "Since Madame needs it, then please come with me, we will open the door to do business, and we always have to talk about credibility, I told you before, I can buy everything here, so I naturally want to confirm it to Madame." ”

Carefully holding the magic crystal in front of him, he led Merry and Saria down the deck and into the cabin of the floating ship.

The cabin is divided into many levels from top to bottom, each with a different purpose, and there are special people between each level to handle them.

Murray's observation of those people and the inside of the cabin made it certain that the floating ship could tell that there was a powerful group behind Motes who supported him.

The reason why it should be judged to be a group is because, in Murray's view, one or two people alone are not enough to support such a large deal.

On Viscount Lane, there are already gangsters supported by the three powers, so what kind of existence will the group behind Motes be?

I felt a little puzzled in my heart, and suddenly felt that it seemed that in five years, I did not fully understand this world, this country, and this city.

Due to the presence of a huge boiler in the center of the hull, the temperature inside the hull is relatively high, and the various structures inside the entire floating ship can be seen through the internal spiral staircase.

As a mechanic, Murray is naturally very interested in these machines, and he can't help but take a few more looks along the way.

Motes seemed to be aware, but didn't think much of it, just thought it was Murray's curiosity.

Walk through the cabin on the first floor of the ship, and be guided by Motes to a room in the middle of the second floor.

After opening the room, to the surprise of Murray and Saria, the only thing in the slightly empty room was a giant difference machine.

The differential machine was running non-stop, and there was a group of people surrounding it, replacing punch cards for the differential machine all the time.

After the punch card is input by the differential machine, it will soon be replaced, and then there is a special person next to the information recorded on the punch card to decode, and then the decoded information is classified, and the whole process is extremely mechanical.

Motes smiled and introduced to Saria, "This is my intelligence room, and any information you need, it will be here." ”

In fact, she was most shocked by what she saw, it was the first time she had seen such a large-scale intelligence gathering.

Saria was puzzled and pointed to the punch cards that came out of the difference machine: "What is recorded on those things is information?

Motes pointed to the differential machine and said, "It's simple, use magic. ”

"With magic?" Murray and Saria were both surprised, not quite understanding how the difference machine in front of them used magic to gather intelligence?

Mortis beckoned to a guy standing next to the difference machine, who immediately walked over and listened to Mortes silently.

Then the differential-looking worker explained: "In fact, it is to use this differential, analyze and calculate the magic elements, and then type the results on those cards, and then compare and decode, you can obtain the information carried on the magic elements, and after classifying, it becomes a piece of usable information." ”

Murray couldn't help but ask, "Use the difference machine to calculate the magic element?" But how can you be sure that the magic element carries the information?"

The other party did not hide it in the slightest, and replied directly: "Because, these magic elements were sent by someone." ”
