Chapter 33: Finding out the news
"Is that so?" said Ellesha felt that what Bell said made some sense, but it was not comprehensive.
"No, he's a businessman after all, and he just wants to get his hands on this whole bearskin. I did this to make him feel that everything was under his control, and that he would naturally get carried away. We let him successfully get the bear skin, and we successfully preached us. In his opinion, in our eyes, he is equivalent to God, so well, this good sense of self will inevitably make him do more things for us and look like God. Bell snapped his fingers triumphantly.
An Elsa pursed her lips and looked at him with disdain, "You're about to change your words!"
Bell snorted, "Hehe, almost assimilated by him." That's what it means, I'm so used to taking myself seriously!"
"Tut-tut, are rich people like this?"
"Generally speaking, yes, it's okay to fight your own. I think that at a glance like this, it is the guy who is the son of the brother, and he has some of this kind of problem. I always feel that I know everything, I am right about everything, and I dare to say anything. It's good or bad. Bale himself has a bit of this mentality, and the novice Orion of the Loire has also made him a little flustered.
"What do you mean by that?" said Annetha, who didn't think it was a merit.
Well, to put it simply, such people generally claim to be righteous and show no mercy when it comes to criticizing real mistakes. Of course, they are not prone to lie and deceive others, because they think that they are the greatest! This is the advantage, but what is the disadvantage? That is, they are easy to offend others and set up unnecessary enemies for themselves. β
"Then you think he's a good guy?" Ann Elsa was a little stunned that such an arrogant person was still good in Bell's opinion.
Bell spread his hands, "In the eyes of that kind of person, we are just small people, and we can't talk about good or bad at all." The attitude towards us may be a whim, just like meeting a cat or dog on the side of the road, just tease us and give us something to eat, that is. Let's plan how to get the map. β
"Well, don't you think he really wants to be friends with us, or is there something else going on?"
"This kind of thing just needs to think about it calmly, okay? What can he do for us? If he had, he would have done it a long time ago. Okay, okay, let's plan how to infiltrate the outpost's command post, and the most important thing is to get the map. "Bell is well aware of the disparity in social status, and it will inevitably lead to such results.
I thought that my uncle was gullible to a rich kid, and he went out to wander with pride, but people just came out to experience life, and finally left the uncle and didn't care about anything. Later, this incident was taken as a family motto by his grandfather, and he warned Bell and his group of juniors not to easily trust the sons and daughters of those rich families.
"The command post of the outpost is not so easy to sneak into. We must think of the escape route in advance, and I think the most important thing at the moment is to find out whether the events of that night have been settled by Kou Ning. "Annesha and Bell leaned against one of the most remote corners, the last time they went out of the outpost they were mixed in the crowd, this time it was so easy to think about it.
Bell pondered for a while, and decided to let Annesha go and inquire about the outpost first. Once you are sure it is safe, plan your escape route.
After determining the order of action, Anesa walked out of the alley, and the situation inside the outpost was relatively easy to hear. The quarantine was burned, the caravans and sentries were killed, and it was a big deal. I didn't go far before I heard someone talking about it.
"I heard that the incident a few days ago was committed by a group of robbers, and the outpost is organizing forces to prepare to clear it. Now we can rest assured. "A few small traders were chatting on the side of the road, leading their horses.
"Hmph, I see. It's that the guard officer of the outpost is short of money again, or he has a chance to be promoted. β
"What do you mean by that?"
"Cut, you are stupid! Just do something, blame some of the fatter bandits, and send another dozen troops! Not only can you have money, but you can also have political achievements and fame. You don't understand that. β
"Uh...... It's not as shady as you think, is it? After all, the more robbers we get rid of, the safer we are, aren't we?"
"Hahaha, you are so naΓ―ve, the outpost connived at the robbers to rob us petty merchants. After fattening, he will blow it off, and puff up his own pockets! As you know, there are more than a dozen bandits around the Vizko outpost. As far as we know, there are only a dozen or so, and we all know that the outpost can be noted? Do you know why you don't fight? Isn't it fattened and then killed?"
"Yes, yes, yes! They must have a tacit understanding with the outpost! When have you ever heard of a large caravan being robbed? It must be someone who the outpost can't afford to offend, and the robbers will know that they have robbed them, and the outpost must send troops to encircle and suppress them!"
"Come on, what big caravan doesn't have a strong guard? You know how a bandit can beat a formal mercenary?"
"That's what big businessmen can afford, so we'll have to hire some coolies. Hey, whether it was done by the robbers or not, the outpost was going to send troops to encircle and suppress it anyway. We've got to threaten one less again!"
An Elsa listened for a long time, but she couldn't decide whether it was Korning's help or the smoke bombs released by the outpost. And no matter how slow you are, pretending to walk can't be slower than turtle speed!
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask directly, "I'm sorry, I overheard your conversation." I'm curious, I wonder if you can tell me about it. β
In fact, a few businessmen had already taken aim at this beautiful Orion, such a beauty is rare! Therefore, when chatting, she spoke very loudly, and she was also intended to let her hear, seeing that she was really curious to come and join in the fun, and her psychology was very beautiful!
"Yes, girl, you've just arrived in Vizko. β
"Hmm. You've just arrived here today, what are you talking about robbers, what are you talking about?" Ann Elsa opened her eyes wide, and her dark green pupils seemed to be able to speak.
A few merchants were a little stupid to look at, but they could only limit themselves to looking, the saber on this woman's body didn't look like a toy, "That's right, a caravan came to the outpost a few days ago, because it was with a few dying and wounded, it was arranged to rest in the isolation center. Who knew that that night, a fire broke out in the quarantine center! When the fire was extinguished, it was found that all the sentries on duty had been killed and their bodies had been burned to charcoals!"
"Go, go, you're scary. The fire was so big that only three people were rescued from the fire. Later, after investigation, the outpost said that it was a group of robbers, and now it is time to send troops to clear it. β
Anelsa covered her mouth, looking very surprised, "What about the three people who survived?
"Look at what a kind girl. I heard that the three men had left Vizko and gone home because they were so frightened. β
Annetha's mind sank, and sure enough, there was a living mouth, I don't know if they confessed Bell's physical characteristics, "Oh, poor man." By the way, do you know what a robber looks like, tell me about it. β
"I don't know, the outpost didn't post a wanted notice, and it is estimated that the three people didn't see the robbers clearly. However, I heard that after the three men were rescued, they insisted that a young assassin had done it. But later, I don't know why, so I changed my story to say that it was a robber, probably instigated by the outpost. β
"Hmm...... This thing is really weird, thank you in advance anyway!" An Elsa hurriedly said goodbye, and the few businessmen who made trouble were a little at a loss.
The people at the outpost must know Bell's physical features, and I'll have to go back and tell him. Ann Elsa quickened her pace and walked towards the alley from which she had come. But she didn't notice that a figure was quietly following her.
