Chapter 107: You'd better not go
Galen's words made Drummond frown suddenly, and Ahri was able to deduce the outline of the matter, which meant that no matter how much or how little he said, it was equivalent to saying everything. As his brow tightened www.biquge.info Drummond felt his heart wrinkle all at once, like a piece of paper that had been rubbed many times, leaving countless ugly wrinkles on it, which could not be smoothed out again no matter how hard he tried, unless he was willing to use great determination and perseverance to erase it all with that red-hot iron.
"Are you sure Ahri must have deduced the contours of this matter?" Drummond asked very seriously, eager to hear Galen tell him what was going on, though it wasn't for the sake of learning.
"The potions I produce have a significant premium part, and Ahri did not directly convert them into gold and silver coins, but into messages, which directly shows that their goal is to be on the top of the intelligence. Galen smiled naturally and said, "Ahri's goal must be to be the number one broker who can dominate the intelligence community." ”
Why is this guy so calm and light-hearted when he speaks?Drummond was a little angry, and Galen's smile had a similar effect on the face of another man, the slave girl, Cynthia.
Why, why do you people who are struggling at the bottom always have to show such a calm smile? Drummond has an unbalanced feeling in his heart, as a person who has climbed up from the bottom of society, it should be a very difficult thing to find a survivable gap in the material-rich ruling class, and all successful people should seem to have enough strength to squeeze in, why can they still have free time to show their smiles? Are you living so easily?
"Even if she knew about it, what if she dared to spread the news, our Shaping Mage Research Society would pick off her head in a minute. Drummond snorted disdainfully. "A little intelligence broker who wants to pry all the mages of Baslo?"
Galen shook his head and didn't say anything more, anyway, at the back of his studio, no matter what happened in front of him, it wouldn't prevent him from studying and making money, so he didn't remind Drummond of anything more. School is not his home, so there is a limit to what he can do, and he doesn't have to do anything more after reaching that limit.
"Will you be involved in this event?" Galen didn't intend to continue the previous topic, so he took the initiative to change the topic.
"What do you want to say?" asked Drummond with a sneer, he had made up his mind, if Galen dared to say anything impolite, he would definitely teach him a lesson, and he would never hesitate or compromise on this.
"Actually, I'm curious what kind of target you're going to?" Galen's voice was unhurried, obviously not with the slightest purpose of attacking. "Do you want to know their whereabouts? or do you want to destroy these druids?"
The druids are all in the neutral camp, weak neutral order, absolute neutrality on the wall, and neutral rebellion out of tune, in short, they are all wavering guys. For this kind of guy who will not overthrow the rule, but will only make a small move under the table, the bloodbath is a bit too much, so Drummond feels that this operation of the military is just to take back control of the iron mine, and the metal ore involves the military industry and is an important national strategic material.
"They're probably just trying to get the evidence. Drummond thought for a moment and made an inference based on what he knew about the druid. "The relationship between the Council of Nacudor and the upper echelons of the empire was very ambiguous, and it was common to send some scholars of the natural school to the farms in various places to instruct the farmers in the cultivation techniques and help them grow the crops that would produce a good harvest. ”
"From this point of view, there will be a very close relationship with the agricultural institutions of the Empire," Galen nodded after hearing such an example, it seems that the druids also have their own social circles. "But they don't support the military's exploitation of metal minerals?"
The druids were typical nature worshippers, full of rejection and hostility to anything that would change the world, and Drummond shrugged his shoulders and nodded in agreement with Galen's conclusion.
"Iron ore is natural, but the act of smelting steel from these stones and producing slag is not natural enough. It was a pleasure to have this opportunity to answer Galen's questions, and Drummond was naturally interested: "In a sense, mages who seek the inner laws of things and pursue inventions are all enemies of the druids. ”
"It's a hostile operation. Galen basically understood the inside story of the power circle composed of some powerful people when he heard this, "The druids are close to those civilian bureaucrats who are committed to people's livelihood and the development of agricultural planting, so they naturally don't deal with these old men who are wielding knives and guns, after all, this is a matter of standing in line, right." ”
Galen made sense, Drummond had to nod and admit that these things were not difficult to analyze, Galen said the context of the analysis in a few words, but Drummond was a little envious, most of his mind was focused on studying spells and suppressing students who violated discipline, and he really rarely had the energy to think about these things. And now sitting next to Victor and participating in the planning of important matters makes her more and more desperate need for such an ability.
Maybe it should have been people like them who were qualified to climb to the top, and they were in the wrong place? In this key secret position, Drummond sometimes had a feeling of powerlessness. It took a lot of hard work to get his position, but lately the feeling of sitting on pins and needles has become more and more obvious, maybe it seems that only unhurried people like Cynthia and Galen can sit in such a position?
"So the druids will never be on the side of the military," Galen did not mean to hide his secrets, but naturally recounted his analysis. "Although I haven't seen it, I don't think this matter should be ridiculously guessed, political things, seeing blood is very common, right?"
It is indeed common for Drummond to deal with this kind of matter himself, leading some reliable subordinates to help the bureau take out a civilian official who advocated cutting military spending. At the same time, he also understood what Galen meant when he said this, everyone was going to do it with bayonets this time.
"So if you can stay out of it, teacher, it's better not to wade into troubled waters, the woods should be the home of the druids. Galen looked at Drummond with blazing eyes, and he said the last sentence loudly.
"I have to go, this operation represents the sincerity of the eldest young master to the military, and it is also the way out for the future of our academy. This kind of person is a little lacking in responsibility, Drummond sighed and came to Galen's conclusion, maybe she was smarter than himself, but there would never be such an achievement, thinking of this, his heart seemed to have the strength to stretch those folds at once.
Happy weekend everyone
