The wind blew through the dilapidated village, which was long since empty, and all that remained was ruins.

Solomon's feet stepped on the dead leaves, and the sound of the leaves shattering.

They had already walked through many villages, but they had not found the natives in the vicinity, and it seemed that the breakthrough they had learned from Agatha's words was about to fail.

It was not easy to get the exact location of the veins from the mouths of the soldiers of the Merchant Guards in the fortress, and at the risk of being detected and reported to Ambrosius by someone who wanted to do so, Solomon had to abandon this effort for the time being.

Agatha's words inspired him to think of other ways to break through.

That's the Aboriginal people outside the fort, the Fadel Natives who were once enslaved.

The current Mogul merchant guards in the fortress can be sent to Fadell, they must be Ambrosius's henchmen, or the elite selected from the partners and support objects that the merchant group has cooperated with for a long time; it is certainly impossible for any country to let the domestic merchant group have too many private troops without restrictions, even if the merchant group can afford it, and have too many private troops, it will definitely be regarded as a target of attention by the magnates, but if a successful merchant group does not have some strength to defend its wealth, it is unrealistic to ensure the safety of its caravan during trade, so funding some mercenary groups and the like is a way for them to hide their strength。 Those mercenary groups or individuals who receive funding are usually free to accept tasks, but when the merchant group needs help, they need to repay the favor generated by the "funding", free of charge or at a very low "friendship price" to complete the task for the merchant group.

This kind of cooperative and symbiotic relationship is second only to the merchant group's own carefully cultivated henchmen and warriors, so Solomon wants to explore in this environment. It's really difficult. Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't find any flaws. There was no chance at all, and if he had been given more time, he would have been able to find money-grubbers among these people, or by other means.

But the problem was that in terms of time, he didn't have much time, once the reinforcements from the Mogul merchant group came over and really controlled the area near the fortress, the Mogul merchant group gained a firm foothold. If the behemoth of Titania is dragged in again, then the Asturians will not even have the slightest chance to get involved.

The Titanians had already backed down once on the plane of Farushion, and it was even more difficult to make this power, which claimed to be more powerful than other countries, back down again, especially if there were really Black Rock resources here.

Even if the Mogul Merchant Group really completed the new teleportation to Fadel, Solomon and them would be more dangerous.

Because the Mogul merchant group was obviously facing a large number of enemy attacks on this side, and before the new teleportation was built, they could not invest too much force, and could only teleport with a small amount of elite force, so they did not hesitate to gather Solomon and their high-level professionals to participate in it under attractive conditions.

The conditions are very tempting. But one thing is more important, and that is. To the dead is not to be cashed out,

When the reinforcements of the Mogul merchant group or the forces supporting them behind them appear, they may not be able to sort out themselves and others to test whether there are people who want to be unfavorable to them.

You must know that when Solomon and the others first joined, the Mogul Merchant Group only focused on their strength, and did not strictly verify their identity, so it seemed a little easy to sneak in, but if you look at it from the perspective that the Mogul Merchant Group used them as consumable cannon fodder from the beginning, it would be a little shocking.

Because the passage back is always in the hands of the Mogul merchant group, especially when the mercenary is blindly unvigilant because of the conditions previously offered, and is injured or even killed for the merchant group in the battlefield, the living person may be more difficult to compete with the merchant group, and if there are some regrettable and unpleasant things to happen, even if there is a person with the status of Romon, it will be dumb and detached, and it is good to survive, after all, it is the act of espionage first.

Therefore, due to the time constraints, Solomon could not continue to stay in the fortress to "build feelings" with the soldiers and buy people's hearts.

A better point of entry is the natives who have been enslaved by the Mogul Merchants, who will not have the same loyalty as the Merchant Guards in the fortress, and who will not be able to have a Secret Reporter placed in it by the Merchants.

It will definitely be easier to get the news from their mouths, and there is no need to worry about being known by Ambrosius and others, and then suspecting the identity.

Many of the villagers who had been enslaved before must have been taken to exploit the now hidden veins of black rock.

But the trouble is how to find them in a place where the Mogul Merchant Group can't see them, most of the natives were held to work outside the fortress, and when the Sand Country and the Temple alliance came over, most of the aborigines were rescued, and only a few of the aborigines may have hastily withdrawn to the fortress with the Mogul Merchants.

What happened after that, Solomon could only make up for it, maybe the aborigines who were forced into the fortress had rebelled, or even revolted, and wanted to help the temple coalition army? Or could it be that the Mogul merchant group just had this kind of worry, so they killed them in advance?

In short, what Solomon had learned from his "mingling" with the people in the past few days showed that there were no living natives in the fortress, and even the corpses were thrown off the walls of the fortress so as not to cause a plague in the fortress.

Therefore, Solomon proposed to the Mogul merchant group to build yì, the so-called defense of the city must rob the village, if blindly retreating in the fortress and waiting to be beaten passively is not the way, and during the period of waiting for reinforcements to come and start a counterattack, he should also reconnoiter the movements of the aboriginal army at any time, and attack them appropriately.

This is a very correct strategy, because it is correct, and it is really beneficial to the Mogul merchant group, so there is no need to worry about being rejected at all, and even if Solomon does not bring it up first, the Mogul merchant group will take the initiative to ask them to reconnoiter and attack in order to get it for money, and they have the intention of using them as cannon fodder.

Solomon's appearance here was due to this strategy, and they took turns to come out to reconnoiter or sneak attack during the two days.

When it was Solomon's turn, the reconnaissance mission was carried out by Gera so as not to return to the fortress without real information to arouse suspicion, and Solomon and Agatha searched for the former villages of the natives. Hopefully there will be news about the veins from this.

But as it is now. It's a pity. Came out and found nothing both times.

The aborigines in the villages near the fortress are much more flexible than the dwarves in the Black Rock plane, and the aborigines here already have countries and beliefs, which are relatively unified, and at most they are divided into two camps, Mana's followers and Mana's enemies, not as many tribes that kill each other as in the Black Rock plane.

After being rescued, the natives either fled farther away from the alien fortress, or joined the Volunteers, joining the Sand Country's armies and the Shrine Alliance. Became a temporary auxiliary.

There are quite a few aborigines who have fled, but the problem is that they are now like a grain of sand poured into a pile of sand, and it is very difficult to distinguish which ones know the location of the veins from the wider area.

Solomon stopped beside the decaying house, and Gera stepped forward and said, "What now?"

"As yesterday, you go and scout the aboriginal army, so that you don't get suspicious when you go back, and Agatha and I will continue to try to find it. Solomon commanded.

Guerra nodded, disappearing into Solomon's eyes.

Seeing Guerra gone, Agatha was a little happy. She came up and took Solomon by the arm, and put her face on his shoulder affectionately.

Compared to the boring life in the fortress. Now that Guerra is gone, it is a moment of happiness for Agatha.

Just like this, holding his arm and walking all the way, only him and her, the only fly in the ointment is that the background of this romantic and happy moment is not very good, from one ruined village to another, each village seems to have been ravaged by the most vicious beast.

Solomon didn't have time to take care of the girl's thoughts, and he and Agatha reached their next destination.

It was farther away from the fortress built by the Mogur merchants, and the village was almost the last of the areas that could be enslaved.

But it still disappointed Solomon, and he could see the same miserable situation in the first few places from afar, and even some wolves or wild dogs wandered around the ruins, and after one of his brains burst by Solomon's random magic missile, the others retreated in fear.

Solomon's expression of disappointment was irrepressible, and if he couldn't find any natives to ask about after all his travels, there was only one way to go and rendezvous with Gera and then take the risk of kidnapping a villager who was now serving the aboriginal coalition.

However, if you do this, there must be only one chance, if the villagers who have taken it away happen to not know where the ore veins are, then it will not be easy to play this trick again, because the action of kidnapping people will definitely arouse the vigilance of the aboriginal coalition army, and it may not be possible to arrange traps in turn.

Just as Solomon was disappointed, and turned to leave to join Gerra, he suddenly stopped and looked uncertainly into the depths of the ruins of the village, where there seemed to be a sound.

"Come out, or you're welcome. Solomon suppressed his excitement.

The sound was from a crumbling house, and a small figure emerged from a corner of the collapsed wall.

It was a small child, and it was a girl, about only about years old.

Her clothes were very tattered, her little face was black and white, only a pair of eyes were still moving flexibly, but from them there was a look of hatred, and she still held a half-cut scythe in her hand.

Solomon breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let him find a living native, a child who might not be able to get useful information from her mouth.

He strode forward, but the little girl raised her scythe as if frightened.

Of course, this could not hurt Solomon, but Solomon didn't want to hurt her, first, he wanted to find out the news from her mouth, and secondly, this little girl was just an ordinary person, and her age was so young, Solomon was not so unscrupulous that even she wanted to kill her, as for her hostility, it was normal, which proved that her family had been enslaved, and it was very likely to know the news about the mineral vein.

Solomon easily knocked out the little girl's scythe, and then held the little girl firmly to prevent her from struggling too much.

At this time, his linguistic talent came into play, and he slowed down his tone and said in the language of the Fadel people: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, but you have to sue me, where is the place where they are holding your family to mine ore?"

The little girl fell silent for a moment, but the next moment the fierce reaction was something that Solomon did not expect, and she suddenly opened her mouth. A large bubble of spit spat out.

Solomon was caught off guard. After he rose to the rank of High Mage. It can already be touched by magic, and the preset magic on the body is too limited, and when the attack on the body is too limited, it will cause damage, and the preset magic will automatically touch to produce a protective effect, which is the ability of magicians to really fight against various killers and assassin-type ranks, as well as the ability to resist the attacks of warriors of the same level and then counterattack, and it is also the signature ability of high-level mages.

But the little girl's spit was hardly harmful. It won't automatically touch his preset defensive magic.

He felt something different, and although he dodged it in time, he still had half of his saliva on his face.

He had to put the little girl down, and the little girl quickly stepped back, picked up the sickle again, and then nervously pointed the tip of the knife at Solomon, who was obviously a bad man in her eyes.

Solomon smiled bitterly, this is the treatment that the invaders deserve to be treated as a matter of course.

He could wrench this little aboriginal girl to death as easily as an ant. But it doesn't make much sense.

He could be cruel to the dwarves of the Black Rock Plane, and that's because it was necessary. Whether it is to destroy their resistance. Or to force them to work for themselves, to serve, to use them for profit, you need to do that.

But the little girl in front of her is different, she can't pose any actual threat to herself, and the biggest benefit you can get from her is the news of the ore vein.

"Let me try. ”

At this moment Agatha came over, and she tried to imitate the language of Fadel in the syllables that Solomon had just pronounced.

Agatha is not like Solomon who is a time-traveler and has an inexplicable talent for language as a golden finger, but she showed an amazing talent for language when she was taught by Solomon at an early age.

And Fadell's language and lingua franca also have something in common, Solomon just relied on his own talent to speak Fadell's plane language without hindrance, although Agatha couldn't reach this step, but simulated the sound energy to simply say the difference between people, and then added gestures.

Perhaps women are naturally more approachable to children, and the little aboriginal girl was very wary of Solomon, but she was not so resistant to Agatha's smiling face, hesitated, and flinched, but finally did not spit or attack with a sickle, but just kept shaking her head at Agatha, looking at Solomon from time to time.

"I might be able to get something out of her, but you need to stay away from us first, she hates you. Agatha said to Solomon, "And, promise me, when I'm done asking you what you want to know, let her go, okay?"

"Do you think I'm a murderer?" said Solomon, walking into the distance.

After a while, Agatha walked back to Solomon's side, but in a strange manner, and she buried her head in Solomon's chest and rubbed it gently.

"My dear, I think I may really be wrong when I came out with you this time. I thought it was supposed to be a romantic adventure. But now it's very different from what I imagined. Agatha whispered.

Solomon touched her soft head lovingly, soothing her affection.

If it weren't for the fact that she had to come with her, Solomon would definitely not have brought her here, and he could imagine the impact of some of his current experiences on the girl who had been under the protection of her father since she was a child, and the impact was much stronger than when she was chased and killed by the Modo swordsmen with Solomon.

When she was first pursued by the Modo swordsman Helriffin, Agatha, who was still a little girl, would completely regard the other party as evil, and Solomon was a hero in her heart.

And some of the things that came out this time, and even the communication with the aboriginal girl just now, she somewhat understood what the Mogul merchant group had done.

In the past few years, she has also followed her teacher to Solomon's Black Rock Plane once, but only stayed in the Black Rock Fortress for a short time, because that plane is so boring, there is no beautiful scenery and no interesting things.

With her cleverness, she could now more or less guess that Solomon had established a foundation in the Black Rock Plane, and I am afraid that he had done something more or less similar to the Mogul Merchant Order.

Solomon didn't intend to argue that this is a real part of the world, though sometimes a little cruel.

He had a somewhat distorted relationship with Agatha, and if his image as a hero in her mind collapsed because of this understanding, it might not be a good outcome.

On the other hand, if Agatha is still willing to stay by his side after being exposed to some truth, he will trust and pamper her more, instead of just treating him as a girl who has not grown up.

He wasn't testing her, humanity couldn't stand the test.

He just tried to let her know a little more about her true self and the other side of the world, and then gave her the right to choose.

A moment later, when Agatha's love was a little more stable, he finally got the useful news. (To be continued......)
