CHAPTER XXVII
The origin of Baron Dahl's wealth has always been a great mystery. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The lords around info have been tracking this down, but have never been able to find any reliable leads.
Of course, there are still clues, and all the clues point to smuggling. But "smuggling" is not just lip service, it requires caravans and the circulation of goods on both sides. Some of the lords around Dahl had acquaintances in big cities such as the capital, but they could not find any evidence of the purchase and sale of goods by Barons Dahl in the past.
It's not that Baron Dahl doesn't do business, but the business he does is normal, and he doesn't see anything wrong.
But this is not difficult for Sui Xiong, if mortals can't find clues, it doesn't mean that he can't find it.
With a little bit of divine power, read Baron Dahl's heart......
Then, he was a little embarrassed.
Didn't read it.
Baron Dahl's strength is not strong, but he carries extremely high-level protective props on his body, and the spiritual attacks below the legendary level have no effect on him at all. Even if you raise your power to the legendary level, although you can break through the protection of that item, you may not be able to read your mind well.
Of course, Sui Xiong can continue to improve his strength. As long as he recognizes the truth, not to mention the mere mortal-level spiritual protection props, even those artifacts that are specially used for spiritual protection may not be able to stop them. But if you do this, it's hard not to leave a trace, and it's not in line with his wishes.
Leaving traces is nothing, but leaving traces is easy to find. If it is discovered by other gods, it will be shameless to mention it when the time comes!
The gods are almost immortal, and unless the gods are defeated in the war, even the depletion of faith can be solved by creating races and opening up the world. In most cases, the gods are fighting for face.
Of course, Sui Xiong was not willing to take the risk of losing face for such a trivial matter, but with this little problem, how could it be difficult to defeat His Majesty the Great Void Kamen? As soon as his eyes rolled, he came up with a solution.
Go back in time!
No matter what Baron Dahl did exactly what he did, as long as he was the target to trace back in time, from the present to the past, little by little, sooner or later he would be able to find clues.
In the face of this kind of magical power, which can be called a trick, any concealment method is meaningless.
In fact, there was no need for "sooner or later", only ten days ago, Sui Xiong found a clue.
"Hehe! this guy is really ...... Be creative!"
After seeing it, Sui Xiong couldn't help laughing, but it turned out that Baron Dahl had dug a long tunnel under the castle and led to the outskirts. His smuggling business is done through tunnels, and he is working with two large organizations, one from the Gold Federation and the other from the Swamp.
In fact, Baron Dahl played the role of a middleman in the smuggling industry, and whenever there was anything that needed to be sold or something that was wanted to be bought, he would come to him and leave a deposit or goods, and then he would buy or sell through contacts with the other party, and then he would get the thing done.
At first glance, this thing is a little weird, as if he is superfluous, and the two parties can completely leave him behind and trade on their own. Even Sui Xiong felt a little puzzled, so he continued to investigate, this time taking much more time and mana than before. After almost fifty years of tracking, Sui Xiong finally sorted out the cause and effect of the whole thing and completely figured out what was going on.
It's a long story.
From the first Baron Dahl, the Dahl family has been in the business of smuggling. They do business with the tribes of the Swamp, buying rare supplies and selling important war supplies.
There is no doubt that this kind of business is illegal. In particular, what they sell is similar to military heavy crossbows, and once they are found, they are often wiped out.
However, as the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the benefit, relying on this kind of knife-tip trading, the Dahl family quickly accumulated a lot of wealth.
About thirty years ago, the grandfather of the current Baron Dahl, the old baron, who was already old, stumbled upon a treasure that could neither be used for attack nor defense, and its greatest use was that it could hinder the prophecy spell.
It is said that such a treasure should not belong to a mere baron and smuggler, and the most appropriate way is to offer it to the big men of the royal capital. But the old baron thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to keep this treasure, which was supposed to not be kept in his hand, and arranged an underground secret room for it.
It took almost a decade to complete, and since then, the Dahl family has expanded their business. Not only do they smuggle themselves, but they also provide trading venues for other smugglers. As long as you trade in that secret room, you can effectively avoid the prophecy spell.
Prophecy spells are exactly what smugglers fear the most, no matter how well you prepare, how carefully you do it, and how carefully you do things, you can't help but use prophecy spells to track them down. Because of this, any treasure that can withstand the magic of prophecy is priceless and priceless—not only for the smugglers, but also for the big guys!
The Dahl family's secret room has a strange origin, but it doesn't matter where it came from, what matters is that it works.
A few years later, the Dahl family began to transform from smugglers to middlemen in the smuggling business. This trade is not only profitable, but also completely uninvolved in the entry and exit of goods, which is quite hidden. Therefore, even though the lords of the surrounding area have been eyeing each other, they have never been able to find the slightest clue.
In this way, more than ten years passed, and the Dahl family's wealth accumulated more and more, and their life became more and more luxurious.
In Baron Dahl's opinion, this is naturally the result of his family's wisdom and luck, which can be enjoyed for a long time. But in Sui Xiong's view, the family foundation left by Baron Dahl's ancestors is now not only a great benefit, but also a great crisis.
He didn't have much knowledge of "fate" and other fields, but just by looking at the evil black gas rising from Baron Dahl's castle, he knew that the future of this family would not be very bright. Although good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil, it is just a good hope, but if you walk too much at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts.
Even if he didn't use any prediction methods, Sui Xiong would have bet that the powerful and powerful people must have targeted the Dahl family by now. The reason why he hasn't done it yet may be that he is waiting for a perfect opportunity, or he may be discussing the issue of sharing the spoils.
But in any case, if the Dahl family does not manage to sell the treasure who brought wealth and crisis as soon as possible, there will be absolutely no good end waiting for them.
Although these theories have nothing to do with Sui Xiong, Sui Xiong can't help but be aroused, so he decides to stay for the time being to see when the Dahl family will be unlucky.
Of course, it is also possible to help their own clergy, so that they will not be unfamiliar and suffer a big loss alone. (To be continued.) )
