Chapter 336: Asking for Ransom (3) (Asking for Subscription!Asking for Recommendation Tickets!Asking for Monthly Tickets!)
As a secret spy leader, the heart of the leader of Wenfeng can be described as rock-solid.
When faced with someone who has few secrets because of his open skin, he can ignore the other party's wails and quietly wait for the result he wants.
But destroying a city, or a city that belongs to the country that he once swore to protect, and even sending the entire city's citizens to the gallows, is not an easy thing to convince oneself to harden.
This requires a considerable degree of viciousness.
Even though the Great Veyshur described the mission they were carrying out as "an unknown noble business", and repeatedly assured him that as long as he obtained the last batch of gold, his preparation for casting spells would be completely completed.
At that time, the curse of the gods of the Medici Empire and the Ash World will be lifted, their people will have access to "inexhaustible and inexhaustible" energy, and the land will burst back with more life.
However, the Commander of the Wind has always been suspicious of this, and it is only out of loyalty to the Great Veishur that he will carry out the order.
"In the future, if someone mentions 'noble cause' to me again, I will definitely let him roll as far as he can," Riding on the back of the hunchback, the Commander of the Wind entered the inner city of Nome, and he did not need to look at it with his eyes, and the unkind gazes cast at him around him made him feel like a thorn in his back, "especially the 'unknown' ones." ”
Approaching the Garden Square in the center of the city, the strategic portal once built by the U-Mulsan and the ruins of the former city governor's residence, all of which were bulldozed and rebuilt as a new public facility in Nome.
As he delved deeper into the city, the Captain discovered more and more new things, not even in Bait.
For example, many of the neighborhoods here have railroad tracks that are erected in mid-air, and from time to time smoke-filled vans with a "whining" sound pull goods or pedestrians through the streets.
For example, he saw many small pavilions standing in the streets, and passers-by would buy papyrus with words printed on them with one or two bronze debens, and he ordered a copy to be bought, and found that it was a reading similar to Bate's official newspaper, but it was much richer: business information, customs and customs of the Medici places...... There is even a briefing on the attack on the dragon Pasha!
"No wonder," he said, looking at the papyrus with the Scales of Eternal Order logo in his hand, the entire text on it was speculating about the motives of the Great Veil, the Commander of the Wind and others, "since entering this city, I have received so much hostility. ”
He understood this propaganda method, but after a little more careful consideration, Wen Feng immediately realized another problem, "No, the newspaper here will be sold to ordinary city residents...... The literacy rate of the city's citizens has reached a high level. ”
Thinking of this question, he couldn't help but gasp.
The increase in the literacy rate not only represents the improvement of the cultural quality of the urban residents, but also means that the ordinary people here are gradually breaking away from the category of ignorance and beginning to be able to use knowledge to arm their minds.
And the ability to acquire knowledge was once a privilege of the aristocratic class, even in the richest city of Beit in Medici.
As a spy leader, he is well aware of the power of knowledge.
In the same way, he is well aware of the incidental value of knowledge—the ability to think rationally, which is as transmissible and infectious as a plague.
A spark can start a prairie fire, and now that the people of Nome City have opened up their wisdom, what about the other cities adjacent to Nome City, those cities that have close trade ties with Nome City, and what about the alien tribes that are gradually approaching the territory of the Dragon's Lair?
As far as he knew, it had been more than ten days since the dragon Pasha was captured by the Great Vivial, and none of the cities that had previously established commercial trade routes with the Scales Chamber of Commerce of the Eternal Order had taken the initiative to terminate their cooperation.
The values of Nome City, and even the values of Nome City, are now widely recognized.
Even though those cities were still under the rule of one Pasha and one consul, the basis of their rule, the aristocracy of Medici, had been shaken by Nome.
As for those regional, emerging business aristocrats, it can be seen from the fact that they did not take the initiative to dissolve their cooperation with the Scales of the Eternal Order Chamber of Commerce, how strongly these people are dependent on Nome.
"The ransom must make them pay enough wealth," Commander Wen Feng secretly said in his heart.
According to the information he had obtained before, although the day-to-day operation of the Scales Chamber of Commerce of Eternal Order would not be personally involved by the dragon Pasha, the resources and forces it integrated could fully rely on the power of the dragon Quis.
The Young Blue Dragon was the core that brought the Scales of Eternal Order together, and there was no way they could give up such a leader.
Commander Wenfeng cleared his mind and found that the burden on his shoulders suddenly became a little heavier, "Even if you need to start a small-scale war, you will not hesitate to pay for ransom. Only in this way can the development speed of the Scales of Eternal Order be slowed down, the experiment of the Great Vishur can be completed first, and the various classes of the Medici Empire will not be divided and cause even more destructive turmoil. ”
He waved his hand—not by spell, but by the gesture he had agreed upon, and the signal was given.
The eyes of the two elite wind-shearers who followed him lit up, and they immediately threw out two "Synthesized Beasts" Transmission Guardian Palaces without a trace, and as soon as they landed, they hid in the shadows of the street corner.
According to the instinct of the creatures, these voice-keepers who were recorded in advance of different voice messages would follow the pheromones, and these pheromones were infiltrated earlier by the wind-smellers of Nome City, and smeared in advance to the corners of the streets and alleys.
Relying on his small size, he can follow the route planned by pheromones without attracting attention, and finally arrive at the pre-arranged safe house in the city.
After receiving the message, the hearers who were waiting there would immediately find a way to encrypt it and send it out of Nome City.
However, the two elite hearers who threw the Sound Transmission Guardian did not expect that their little pets had not gone far, to be precise, they had just turned a corner in the alley when they encountered the detached skeleton puppet.
Although the separated skeleton puppet was no more than the size of a mouse, it was enough to deal with the Transmission Guardian Palace, and under the order of the leader of the kobolds of the Dragon Clan who took them to set up a defensive circle, the Transmission Guardian Palace was quickly captured alive.
Then he was immediately taken away and sent to the steampunk half-lich's laboratory, where Snead personally parsed the voice message: "The production cost of the Transsonic Guardian Palace is 25 silver Kate, and the breeding cost is 15 silver Kate...... Please make compensation accordingly. ”
Hearing this message, steam erupted from the exhaust pipe behind Sneid, making two "whining" whistles.
At this time, a patrol eagle with a note strapped to its talons in advance was speeding north, and two other were still hovering over Nome City, waiting for a new gesture command from Commander Wenfeng.
