Chapter 82: Mercenary Association (2) 2nd Update
ā...... I've been there once and I think they're doing a good job. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIf you really want to build a city in Park Bay, I believe this information will be helpful to you. ā
After listening to Angus's words, Levi blinked his eyes, and it was only then that he felt his negligence.
Although the plan for the migration had already been finalized, he had not yet thought about the specific details. After all, it's only been more than ten days, and no matter how you look at it, this thing is a "long-term plan".
Although the war is about to start here, it will be half a year's thing. But there are about 700 days in a year in the Roland world, which is twice the size of the earth.
"Your idea coincides with mine. Levi's face was as red as a monkey's butt when he said this, but he still said it cheekily, "Angus, what else do you think about migrating to Park Bay?" It's perfectly okay to speak up, and don't be afraid to say something wrong. ā
"Overall, I agree with your plan. Due to the chaotic situation, Limestone Town is indeed not a place to stay. Compared with the mountains in the north, it is true that the coast in the south has a better way out. Angus heard Levy's approval and said, "Park Bay is different from other places. Due to the existence of various relics, it has always been the focus of the mercenary union. As far as I know, the large mercenary groups of Nangalan are very concerned about what it has to do there. On the one hand, the antiques, crafts, and magic artifacts obtained from the ruins are all very valuable. Trade with the Scaly tribe and the Fishman tribe over there is also profitable. As a result, many profit-seeking mercenary groups continued to explore there, and each of them accumulated a long period of information, especially extremely important things such as terrain trends and demonic beast communities. It saves us a lot of effort. You know, it's a very dangerous thing to go to these uncivilized wilderness places without permission. ā
"You're right, that's true, and that's exactly what I thought. Levi immediately replied, and suddenly his eyes rolled, "But, Angus, you don't think about the problem comprehensively." Since the other mercenary groups also have relevant information, why don't we let them hand it over as well? Count Donglong's face, I believe these guys will not fail to give. ā
Soon, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"You're mistaken, they don't give face to the earl. Angus laughed a few times when he heard this suggestion, "Lord, it seems that you don't know anything. The large mercenary groups in Nangalan are all very well-founded. Behind them, there are either various territorial nobles or some chambers of commerce with strong financial resources. As far as I know, Winter Dragon City is only second-rate among them......"
"You're not kidding, are you?" Levi looked embarrassed, and he felt like his brain was a little overwhelmed.
Because of the knowledge of the mercenary profession, it is limited to the legends and stories in those idle books. So at first glance, when I heard this kind of insider's explanation, it made Duke Levi feel incredible.
"Actually, it's more complicated than I said. Angus looked serious, "I have one more thing to tell you. When I was a mercenary, I heard the news that there might be some amazing secret hidden in the ruins of the giant city over there in Park Bay. That's why some mercenary groups are so concerned. That's the other side of what I'm going to say. As far as I know, the most prominent here are the Thunder Dragon Mercenary Regiment, they basically don't contact anyone else when they go to Park Bay, and they never hire people outside the mercenary group, and they don't even participate in trade with the tribes over there. I never see them sell what I find, but I often buy what others get at a high price. The Thunder Dragon is one of the top ten mercenary groups in Nangaran, and there are thousands of mercenaries in it, and the expenses are extremely high. It's incredible that they're doing this kind of loss-making business. And the owner behind the Thunder Dragon, you must also know. That's right, it's the second largest chamber of commerce in Edo, the Weeds Chamber of Commerce. Similar to the Thunder Dragon, there are a few other mercenary groups, and their actions are just as mysterious. Strangely enough, the backgrounds of these mercenary groups are often unfathomable. They have more information than the previous one, but they don't reveal it easily. ā
"But I don't believe it, they really don't give any face. Levi was a little annoyed.
"It depends, my lord. Angus patiently explained, "As far as I've observed, a mercenary group like Sword and Rose, even if it's not Winter Dragon City behind the scenes, can still give this face. After all, their activities in Park Bay are only for the rolling wealth over there. As long as the price you pay is high enough, there's no reason not to give up. But something like the Thunder Dragon, I'm afraid it's very troublesome. If what they're trying to find out is a big secret, do you think they'll open their mouths? Winter Dragon City, though second to none in Nangalan, is a small place in Edo. It was the careful weighing of these things that led me to that suggestion. My lord, in fact, the information of the Sword and Rose Mercenary Group alone is enough to support us. After all, there are only three or four thousand people in Limestone Town, and Park Bay has been reclaimed on a large scale, so it is easy to find shelter. ā
"If pressuring Count Winterdragon doesn't work, is there any other way to get this information?"
Going to Park Bay is a top priority for him, and it can be related to his future overseas explorations. In this case, the more information the better. After all, building a city is a hundred-year plan that needs to be carefully studied.
This question is a bit difficult for Angus.
After thinking for a long time, the knight finally opened his mouth, and he gave an affirmative answer, "It's not that there is no way, there are some ways between mercenary groups." On the one hand, Park Bay is still a wild place after all, and the major mercenary groups are not stationed there all year round, so it is easy to miss something. Especially in order to deal with unexpected situations, such as hordes of looting shark bandits, or some giant monsters that have crossed through spatial rifts, they will also exchange information with each other, or buy each other's exploration materials. On the other hand, due to some shady circumstances, some people will steal the information and sell it privately. But this kind of thing can only be done secretly. Both buyers and sellers are very familiar with each other in private, so as to avoid their identities being revealed. A mercenary group like the Thunder Dragon, with its own illustrious background, has extremely strict internal rules and shows no mercy to traitors. Behind them is still a behemoth like the Weeds Chamber of Commerce, so once the news leaks out, it will be really dangerous. ā
After a pause, he added, "In my opinion, it is only by blending into the circle of a very small number of people that it is possible to obtain those relatively secret materials through this way. Or, find someone here and buy him off with a lot of money. And then provide him with a lot of money to make him do it. ā
"Do you know anyone who can do such a thing?" asked Levi directly.
Angus smiled awkwardly.
"I was just an obscure mercenary captain before, and it's hard to get in touch with these people. Moreover, people who do this kind of thing are generally well hidden. Because once his identity is exposed, basically his death date will come. The world of mercenaries is an extraordinarily cruel world. ā
Levi sighed, "Can you only give up?"
"That's all there is to it. After Angus replied, he also said a cool word, "Unless you immediately establish a large mercenary group, use it to make a name for yourself after being incognito, and then make friends with people from all walks of life." With fame and popularity, these shady guys will even come to the door automatically. And it is better for him to look for you than for you to come to him. Of course, this is nothing more than fantasy. ā
Levi's eyes lit up, and he asked in a ghostly manner: "How does a nascent mercenary group make a name for itself, and ......how long does it take to do so?"
