618. News of the Thieves' Guild

Sophia yawned, wore loose black linen trousers, and wrapped her chest tightly with a linen bandage, and walked out of the corridor behind the bartender in a pair of slippers.

Her figure is well-proportioned, and her upper body is quite toned, but her face is a little unremarkable.

"Why are you here so early?" When Sophia saw Surdak, she said to him, "I just sent the news last night, I sorted it out again last night, and it was probably what you wanted." ”

The bartender took a plate of white bread and a piece of ham from the cupboard, sliced them on a wooden board and placed them on the plate, and poured her another glass of milk, which Sophia naturally took and turned to go inside.

The bartender moved out of the way, and Surdak walked in after Sophia.

Surdak sat down at the table in the private room with a plate of nuts in his hand, and said to Sophia, "Just passing by, come and take a walk!" ”

Sophia put the plate on the table, turned around and walked out, and in a short time she took back a booklet made of parchment, sat down opposite Surdak, eating a sandwich while facing Surdak and said: "Now I will begin to talk about the current situation of the Gophilo family, as long as you go to the tavern outside, you can always collect it, so this basic information is only charged for one gold coin." ”

After speaking, she put the booklet in her hand in front of Surdak and turned the first page, which really recorded in detail the time of the founding of the Gophilo family and the patriarchs of the Gophilo family in the past, Sophia introduced: "As a traditional force in Bena City, the old nobles, their families still have a certain influence among the nobles. ”

Sophia bit her sandwich and explained to Surdak:

"However, at present, the credibility of the Gophilo family has almost fallen to the bottom, and everyone lacks the most basic trust in the current Count Gopherro, the Gophilo family has been in decline in recent decades, and at present, even the original plane mining industry has been frequently hit, and the Gophilo family has no private army, so it is impossible to completely solve the troubles of the private plane, these troubles are constantly increasing, and more than half of the plane industry is in a state of shutdown."

"You're saying the Gophilo family is in a difficult situation right now?" Surdak asked.

Sophia's expression was a little exaggerated, she took a sip of water, swallowed the food in her mouth, and then said with some exaggeration: "It's not just a predicament, if there is no way to improve the current situation, the Gophilo family is likely to follow the path of the Bradbury family." ”

Sophia turned the back pages of the parchment and said:

"The situation of the Gophilo family is now more erosive than it seems, many of the family's recent investments have failed frequently, especially after the outbreak of the plane war, many plane investments have been forced to stop, and now the Gophilo family is facing very high debt pressure, almost to the point of starting to sell the family property to pay off the debts due."

She pondered for a moment, and then added: "There are many members of the Gophilo family, and the Count of Gophilo still raises dozens of rice worms who usually don't need to work and live a luxurious life, which is also the last bad debt of the Gophilo family. ”

……

Surdak asked Sophia, "Can you give me an evaluation of Count Gopphilo?" ”

Sophia glanced at Surdak, and Surdak remembered that there was a fee for consultation, so he took out a gold coin from his money bag and handed it to Sophia.

Sophia took the gold coin, and immediately she was full of spirits, her eyes brightened, and she said to Surdak:

"He is the most useless of the patriarchs of the Gophilo family in the past, but he is still an arrogant paranoid, a series of measures after he came to the throne, not only did not reverse the family dilemma, but also accelerated the decline of the Gophilo family, the most outrageous thing is that he did not hesitate to break with the Marquis of Luther, but also insisted on robbing a copper mine, but the mine only completed the initial exploration, because of the unstable situation in the plane, it was forced to give up."

Surdak didn't expect Count Gopphilo's evaluation to be so bad.

Sophia also said: "When he inherited the title, he also wanted to form a private army to expand the scope of the family's territory, but unfortunately many measures ended in failure, yes, Count Gophilo is such a person, when he was young, whether he invested in mines or developed dimensional territories, he failed, and now he is bent on maintaining the glory of the family......"

Sophia looked at Surdak and said, "I have one more news here. ”

Surdak hurriedly took out a gold coin from his backpack and handed it to Sophia.

Sophia continued: "Count Gophilo has been in frequent contact with a southern lord recently, probably to help the Gophilo family survive the current difficulties through marriage and commercial cooperation. ”

"Lord of the South?" Surdak finally found the reason why Count Gophilo was hostile to him - the Southern Lord.

Sophia nodded and said, "That's right, the representative of the Southern Lord has been in Bena City for almost a week. Baron Gophilo is leading the representative to inspect all the Gophilo family's estates in Pena, looking for opportunities for further cooperation. ”

Surdak hurriedly asked, "Do you know what the name of that Southern Lord representative is?" ”

Sophia's face was full of 'I knew you would ask that'.

She said with some pride, "Of course, we not only found out the name of the representative of the Southern Lord, but also some of his background and current address, his name is Jack. Kennelly was a baron of the second class. The Kennelli family is an old family in the province of Blancasa, owning a vast land, and has always been the largest slave owner in the region, operating large wheat fields in the south, providing high-quality and cheap high-quality wheat flour for the Grimm Empire, and holding nearly 70,000 native slaves in their hands. ”

"This Jack. . . Where does Baron Kennelly currently live? Surdak asked more curiously, and took out a gold coin again.

As a competitor, it is likely that he has already won the full support of Count Gopphil.

Surdak had a strong urge to go see the Jack. Baron Kennelly.

Sophia didn't hide it either, and told Surdak directly: "Jack. Baron Kennelly and you stay in the same hotel! Moreover, the Count of Gophilo intended to marry the Kennelli family in order to strengthen the relationship between the two parties, but it seems that this Jack . Baron Kennelli did not take a fancy to the daughters of Count Gopphil. ”

"......" Surdak was speechless, he didn't expect that he and that Jack. Baron Kennelli lived under the same roof.

Seeing that Surdak didn't speak for a long time, Sophia coughed lightly twice and said to Surdak: "Our thieves' union still accepts assassination orders, or we can create several unsuccessful assassination operations...... Scare him away, but the order price is a bit expensive......"
