Chapter 286: The Mena Family's Troubles
Eve frowned, a little surprised by Nether's change.
When Nether first came to Odd, although his charm did not decay, he was a fleeing after all, so Eve still had a little psychological advantage at that time.
However, when she saw this cousin again, she had become a sorcerer who had joined the local army and became a captain by relying on her family connections, and Nether had already made a name for herself and was now called a genius sorcerer.
"What about making my cousin a little jealous?" But Eve wasn't the kind of person who only knew jealousy, and after a little joking complaint, she and Nether made small talk.
It is said to be small talk, but it is actually exchanging information, and the nobles have their own channels to obtain all kinds of information in this area, and some relatively secret information will not be known to everyone, so the necessary information exchange is needed.
Especially the Ronnies and Mena, both of whom bear the surname Trindall.
"Recently, there has been some restlessness in various families, and there has been a problem with a big business, but fortunately our family is not deeply involved. Eve spoke.
Nether immediately understood what that business was, the arms smuggling transaction, Saba had been holding on to the goods, the nobles had not received the final payment for a long time, and they had to bear all kinds of risks and pressures, so naturally the opinions were very big.
During this time, the Church of the Sages, while opposing the research on the new exploits and putting pressure on the nobility, also searched for Saba's traces, an anomaly that attracted Gwen's attention.
As a prince, Gerwen is also the battalion commander of the Third Legion, and the head of the royal family in the Oder region, and if there is a major problem in the area, it will reduce his chances of succeeding to the 'king'.
Therefore, he is also very concerned about all kinds of movements, the Church of the Sages is a quiet force in Ode after all, and there must be some reason for the sudden emergence of the nobles to oppose the new merit research of the nobles this time.
And this reason is also related to the aristocracy.
Then the problem was placed on the nobles by Prince Gwen, and the Mena family was affected by it. Eve said with a somewhat displeased expression.
"Some of the family's smuggling business has been targeted. Eve whispered.
Nether had met Eve on the smuggling trail outside the city, and her patrol road included that trail, which actually explained that it was the Mena family who smuggled with the Holy Celestial Sound Kingdom in the first place.
And because of Nether's operations in the Holy Heavenly Sound Country, the Holy Heavenly Sound Country once again closed the smuggling channel for more than two months, and it was finally opened recently, and then it encountered Gewen's censorship.
"Smuggling is not a big problem, the big problem is that we have become a breakthrough, and Prince Gwen wants to know from us what the nobles have done to make the Church of the Sages change. ”
After Eve finished speaking, Nether instantly realized that some smuggling business with the Holy Tianyin Kingdom was actually not a big problem, the Holy Tianyin Kingdom needed the materials needed by the Lorken Kingdom, and the Lorcan Kingdom also needed some things from the Holy Tianyin Kingdom.
As long as the demand is still there, this kind of smuggling can only be banned on the surface at most, but it is also prohibited on the surface.
Now Gewen is grasping this point to talk about things, hoping to open a breakthrough from the Mena family.
And Eve said before that she was not deeply involved, but she did not say that she was not involved, which means that the Mena family was also involved in the smuggling of arms.
If the Mena family opens their mouths, then they will offend all the nobles who cooperated before, but if they don't open their mouths, although the other nobles want to help the Mena family, but in the matter of smuggling with other countries, other nobles are not very easy to interfere, otherwise it will be easy to expose themselves.
"So Gwen can really be sure that your Mena family was involved in that?" asked Nether in a low voice.
"He should be unsure, but now he is pressing very hard, and if there is no other breakthrough, he will only continue to press on the Mena family. ”
Nether chatted with Eve while thinking about what to do, the Mena family is a solid ally of the Ronnie family, with the same surname, if they suffer a major loss, it will also be detrimental to the future development of the Ronnie family.
And the benefit of smuggling ordnance, Nether also took a fancy to it.
Quito, a person with sales ability, is now in his hands, and he has almost grasped Saba's true identity.
With Tal and the others, Nether is sure to make a big deal out of it, of course, provided that some people are kicked out of the game, causing them to suffer losses while appeasing the remaining ones.
"So you're here today just to meet Prince Gwen?" When Nether and Eve were talking, they didn't forget to observe the surrounding situation, after all, the conversation between them was still a bit secretive.
"Indeed, he asked me to meet here later. "Eve was a little irritable.
"Then I have a solution. Nether didn't hide anything, and roughly said that he was going to solve the problem of Surrey's family Fallon.
"I can make him reveal something while I solve the problem for him......" Nesser didn't say that he was meant to do it in the first place, but changed the general meaning to do it because Eve.
Although the Mena family is a solid ally of the Ronnie family, this relationship needs to be maintained, and occasionally exaggerating their importance to the other party in various actions can better protect the relationship.
"When you meet Prince Gwen, just insist that the Mena family is not involved, and then casually mention that I'm here too. ”
Nether told Eve what to do, Prince Gwen was a smart man, and what he was anxious about now was not to trouble the Mena family, but to know the reason for the change in the Sage Church.
The Mena family was just caught with a sore foot on the surface, and if they were forced like this, the Mena family would lose a lot, but it was unlikely that they would say it.
Therefore, after Gewen gets another better breakthrough, he will most likely let go of the Mena family.
"Surrey's family?" Eve's eyes lit up, their Mena family is actually not deeply involved in arms smuggling, and they are roughly using the authority in their hands to open some convenient doors to facilitate Saba's transportation of ordnance.
There is not much profit in it, as long as the trouble does not come to the door, these benefits are honest, and it is not a big deal to lose them.
But the Surrey family is different, as far as Eve knows, the people of the Surrey family, the part of the operation is to turn good weapons into scrapped weapons, there must be accounts in this, otherwise there is no count of how many weapons have been converted, and the benefits in it will become unclear.
In other words, the accounts in the hands of the Surrey family are something that can firmly catch the eye of Prince Gwen.
Although it is not good for Eve to say this, it is also true, the culture of the nobles is very complicated, but for the matter of selling teammates, there is no guilt at all, and most nobles are willing to do it if they harm others and benefit themselves.
"I see, but be careful not to draw fire to us. Eve was not hesitant, and when she saw Prince Gwen from afar, she had already made up her mind, hugged Nether with a smile, and walked towards Prince Gwen.
And Prince Gewen was also aware of Nether's existence for the first time, nodded to Nether from afar, and then greeted Eve, with a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
Nether kept calculating in his heart, the plan was almost complete now, and through the Surrey family, Prince Gwen was officially introduced into this game, like rising magma, forcing the nobles, and then forcing Saba to act as soon as possible.
If you can't get your weapons out as soon as possible, once you are dirty by thieves, a large number of people won't be able to escape.
In that case, you're going to have more shots and more chances to kick some people out.
"And one of my three neighbors is also involved in arms smuggling, and getting them involved in this trouble can effectively reduce the pressure on the Ronnie family. ”
Just after Nether had settled everything, Gwen continued to test Eve.
It's just that although Eve laughs at herself for relying on family connections to join the local army, her ability is not bad, and among the younger generation, she can be said to be a rare talent.
Whether it is the cultivation of extraordinary professions, or various interpersonal interactions, handling of things, etc., they are all excellent.
She did not rush to clarify the relationship between herself and what Gerwin wanted to explore, but complained to Gerwen from another aspect, saying what kind of predicament the Mena family would fall into if this continued.
Then in some ways offered some benefits to Gervin, begging Gervin to give him some tolerance.
This gesture was difficult for Gervin to deal with, but at the end of the day, when Eve left, she mentioned that Nether was discussing with the Surrey family, which seemed to mean something.
This caused Gervin to set his eyes on Nether.
