Chapter 231: Return, Integration of Intelligence

In this way, after so many things had happened on this day, it was evening, and the people who had gathered the information returned to their rooms one after another, and after a simple dinner, everyone began to summarize the information they had collected in the last few days.

Of course, the boss was there, and she closed the inn early, and the door was closed and she was ready to start their discussion.

Of course, to everyone's surprise, Zoe returned from the light area, his body was stained with the smell of various perfumes, and several handkerchiefs that were obviously not men's were stuffed in the pockets of his coat.

After seeing everyone's surprised eyes, Zoe certainly knew what the problem was, and he ran to the bathroom without a sound to change into clean clothes and come out.

However, everyone's initial impression of Zoe has completely collapsed, and the women in the team are a little shy away from Zoe. When he sat down, the girls pulled a few chairs away from Zoe.

"I said it hurts a lot of people to do this. Zoe said with a sigh.

"I don't have much to say to the guys who go to the big health care. Linnaeus said.

"That's right. These are the words of Komatsu Feixue.

"Did I say you're going too far?" Van Helsing said with a broken head.

"I said brother, when will you give me two tricks?" It was Jiang Sato who said this, of course, after he said these words, he was instantly treated coldly by everyone present.

Of course, it has nothing to do with herself, and Hongti has been quietly observing the battle situation.

"Ahem. Let's get back to business. I think we've collected a lot of news in the past few days, whether it's rumors or actual news, let's summarize the harvest. Van Helsing said that in fact they had already wasted nearly half an hour on the matter, and that he, as the nominal captain of the squad, could not let the topic of the meeting go further and further.

"I'll start with the information I've gathered. Van Helsing said.

"After my investigation for a period of time, the basic life of the entire demon fox clan is a resident and has not been affected much, but there are obviously more soldiers patrolling the streets, and recently there are many more soldiers searching in the shops, maybe the news of our arrival has reached the ears of the rulers of the upper echelons of the city, and the inspection of the checkpoints on the city wall has been obviously much stricter recently, but since we don't need to go out of the city at the moment, this point has little impact on us. Van Helsing said.

"I agree with you, it is true that the results of my investigation in the market with Komatsu Feixue are very similar to yours, and I heard several merchants in the market complain that due to the stricter checkpoint inspection, the caravan has taken a lot of time and procedures to enter this city to do business, which has indirectly led to the shortage of goods. and the rise in the entire price level, although it has not yet reached the level of affecting life, but residents are already complaining. Linnaeus said.

"That's true, and my entire investigation has found that all shops selling magic weapons in the city have been forced to close, and now I have a problem even buying a simple magic crystal. Komatsu said.

"It seems that there is indeed a big problem within the demon fox clan, and there has been a lot of problems in the operation of the functions of the entire city. In fact, changes in commodity prices in the market can reflect changes in the situation well, Jiang said.

The more volatile it is, the more tightly regulated the market becomes, and the prices of commodities tend to skyrocket.

"Some merchants have already started stockpiling goods. Linnaeus pointed out.

"Is this obvious?" Van Helsing asked.

"Basically everybody on the street is doing this, and they want to make a difference in the future that might happen. Komatsu said.

"Hoarding goods and selling them at a high price, right? It seems that these guys have anticipated that there could be a big change in the future. Van Helsing said that in fact, the merchant is a creature that is desperate for profit, and it is the same for any race.

This reminds Jiang Sato of Marx's famous words: "As soon as there is a proper profit, capital is emboldened." If there is a 10 percent profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; With twenty percent profit, it becomes active; With a 50 percent profit, it takes a risk; For the sake of 100 percent profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; With a profit of 300 percent, it dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging its head."

But that's not the point.

"These are things that can be seen by a discerning person, but what about rumors?" Van Helsing asked, in fact, Van Helsing would like to hear rumors more than these things that most smart people can guess, although these rumors seem to be difficult to distinguish between true and false, but in the eyes of some people, they are indeed a rare source of information, and even these rumors contain real big secrets.

"There's a rumor in the tavern that I think I should be concerned about, they heard that the Praetorian Guard has been transferred, from their original camp to a place not far from the city, and that the Praetorian Guard is practicing every day, and there are signs of being ready to fight. Van Helsing said.

In fact, the rumors about the movements of the entire Demon Fox Clan's army were the most heard rumors in the tavern, but he didn't know if it was true or not.

"Are there any signs?" At this time, the rare red ti spoke, and when she heard the information that Van Helsing and the others had gathered, red ti was also a little anxious.

Although she had heard all kinds of rumors in the tavern recently, she had no chance to confirm them. In time, she has the position of the county lord in the clan.

But after being absent from the clan for a long time, and the old patriarch's current body is gradually aging, Hongti didn't have the opportunity to see his father when he came back.

In fact, after being absent from the clan for a long time, some of her powers have basically been hollowed out, and now only the name of this county lord is useful, and the name of this county lord can still be useful because his old father is still in power, in fact, once the new patriarch takes office, it is really impossible to say whether her position as the county lord is really useful.

So, she also had to think about a retreat just in case.

"The signs are the military facilities we saw on the outskirts of the Demon Fox Clan's cities, and the shores of the lakes on the periphery of the entire city are basically full of troops. And it seems that the supplies have already been prepared. Van Helsing said slowly. 、

In fact, he only realized that something was wrong.

"When was that?" asked Hongti anxiously.

"Why don't you know about the other day? The whole city is surrounded by military installations. Van Helsing said.

"In fact, the normal entry and exit of the entire city has been blocked, except for the normal entry and exit of caravans. There are also travelers of other races who can enter and exit normally, and the citizens of the entire city have been ordered not to go out until the end of the patriarch's Dabi. Hongti said.

"In fact, apart from the guards and some guys with special passes who can enter and exit, the demon fox clan has been isolated from the world. Hongti said.

"No wonder we have little information about the Demon Fox Clan outside. Van Helsing said.

If they hadn't seen it, they wouldn't have believed that the ruler of a city would choose such a stupid policy as locking down the country.
