Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Bakerland Edition Factory Fire
"The merchant of Fenerport, the bodyguard of the suspected extraordinary, the Church of the Earth."
Roy did not take the lead in hiring a maid, but wrote a letter in the dusty house.
A letter to Mr. Hyde.
"Mr. Hyde, I have arrived in Beckland and currently live in Yuejihua Street in the southern area of the Beckland Bridge."
"I don't know the news that I'm alive, Mr. Gawain doesn't know yet, please tell Becky to convey it on your behalf, and ask him to help take care of the welfare home, and I will give you a certain amount of payment."
"In addition, I have detected some extraordinary people in the merchant ranks of the Kingdom of Fenerport, and I plan to try to contact them along their lines......"
Roy wrote his thoughts to Hyde Carson.
He then put the letter into his faith and recited the incantation in his mouth.
After a while, in the distorted space, a figure came out, and the owl opened its mouth to spit out spirituality, but found that ......
"No fighting?"
"Well, help deliver a letter."
“……”
She glanced at Roy, then grabbed the letter and left.
Roy leaned back in his polished chair, then looked around and sighed softly.
It's time to find a maid.
Otherwise, such a big family would not be able to be cleaned up by himself.
But.
Money!
I was only one hundred and seven gold pounds, and now it has shrunk to less than one hundred and fifty, and I don't know what to make money again......
He pondered for a moment, set up the ritual, and then chanted the incantation.
"A spirit that wanders in nothingness."
"Friendly creatures who can communicate."
"A small creature that can help absorb dust and sweep quickly."
After three spells.
A strange-looking bug creature appeared, and to Roy's expectant gaze, it began to roll rapidly.
After rolling around, the dust on the ground was immediately swept away.
Then, the dust is gathered into a cloud by it.
Roy took a broom and a bucket and followed behind to clean up.
It only took half an hour to clean the room.
He nodded in satisfaction.
The spirit creature was sent back to the spirit realm by him.
Aside from the other party's peculiar cleaning method, Roy was generally quite satisfied, if he hired someone else to clean such a house......
Commissions alone are quite a lot.
"Knowledge is wealth!"
He sighed secretly.
The convenience of ritual magic can not only be used to pay off debts, but also to drive young creatures to do things they don't want to do.
This includes, but is not limited to, cleaning.
You can also ask them to copy letters, help with things, and so on.
But.
Things like clothes and bed linen have to be done by yourself.
Roy made his bed—
The sheets and quilts he bought in the afternoon.
Every move costs a fortune.
He was making his bed alone, when suddenly a figure distorted the space, followed by Lady Owl with her wings fluffing.
The next moment, she stopped on her desk and put the letter down.
"Congratulations on moving, but it's a pity you didn't cook, and I can't eat."
“……”
Roy was stunned, and then was silent for a moment, "Although I don't know where the custom is, thank you." ”
"I don't know, I think it's from Intis's side, but maybe it could be Russell or someone."
Nina said, "So as is your custom, I'll sit on your side for a while." ”
She erected her feathers and said lazily, "I've forgotten too much, but maybe it's a good thing, well, that's what Mr. Azik said." ”
"You have a good relationship with Mr. Azik?"
"He's very easy to get along with."
Nina nodded and replied, "It's not what I imagined. ”
Roy said, "Are they okay?" ”
"You mean the old wizard and the big guy?"
Nina thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, but the old wizard hasn't found the main material yet, but he's a big man, and although he has a lot of injuries, he's already facing promotion." ”
Warriors belong to the battlefield.
Becky dared to risk his death to go to the gladiatorial arena, and the speed of promotion naturally did not need to be said, but I don't know how well he cultivated the set of fighting training methods he brought him.
Roy continued to read the letter.
The letter reads.
"We came into contact with a 'master of tricks' here, and she was responsible for passing on some mysterious news to us and helping to buy materials......"
Forthth?
Miss Salted Fish struggled.
That's great!
I didn't let her be "No. 1" in vain, this is the first serial number.
Roy smiled and continued to look down.
"I bought a support material for promoting to a scroll master, but I don't have a clue about the rest of the materials."
"Maybe my fate is not in Beckland."
Mr. Hyde is depressed.
But this is normal.
From sequence 6 onwards, extraordinary materials have become precious, not to mention the high premium, and it takes a very special way to buy them.
For example, the properties of Klein's Sequence 6 main material, the human skin ghost.
The market price was one thousand and five, but he bought it for two and a half thousand, a full premium of one thousand gold pounds.
Such a situation is very common.
Of course.
Mr. Hyde must have been prepared financially, but there was no way to do so, and Roy wanted to search for it, but the Sequence 6 potion recipe usually cost two thousand gold pounds.
All his property combined, it is only one-twentieth of it.
He kept looking.
At the end of the letter, Hyde stated that he didn't pay much attention to the Fenneport's businessmen and couldn't help.
At the end he enclosed the address.
Jowood district, 39 Minsk Street.
So familiar place.
Roy put the letter away.
He looked at Nina, his heart moved, and said, "Nina, do you know the recipe of the Scroll Master's potion?" ”
The Owl Lady turned her head back and forth.
Not too surprising.
But.
The good news is not without it.
At least I'm on the Elemental Dawn line now, and I don't have to worry about the problem that the potion formula can't be obtained.
Even the main material has to be done from the rest of the place.
Hopefully Silver City has.
Roy said in his heart.
You can ask Little Sun first, and if Little Sun says there is one but can't get it, then go through Elder Lovia.
There are people on both lines, fearless.
That's the money......
Make money!
the money!
These Fenneport merchants were very rich.
Roy asks Tilly to help gather information in order to learn more about the current situation of the Ferneport merchants in Beckland.
As for Klein's original way of making money, like investing in bicycles or something, it's not impossible, but the money is still too slow after all.
"Today's play, it doesn't seem to have a very good effect."
"Maybe it's because they're all ordinary people."
"If there are extraordinary people in Fenerport, and I succeed in playing a powerful wizard image in front of them, I may be able to get a high effect."
So.
Whether it's for the sake of the play or for the gold pound, it is necessary for him to contact the Ferneport grain merchants.
These people made a lot of money by repealing the Corn Act, but they also offended a group of very powerful people because of it-
The conservative aristocrats of Rune.
Duke Negan, who is always assassinated, is the leader of the conservative faction.
……
Next.
Roy wakes up in the morning to go out for breakfast, and when he opens the door, he sees Tilly sneaking out of the side, almost getting a cane.
"Why don't you knock?"
"You're probably still sleeping, so I didn't knock on the door."
Tilly scoffed.
"Don't mess around next time, I'm afraid I'll kill you."
Roy said lightly, "Did you find anything?" ”
"Yes sir, I let Brother Dagan ...... It's the two stupid big guys you've taught you. ”
"I told them to go to the more powerful thieves on Gard Street to find out about it, and they got some information."
"Let's go in and talk."
Roy opens the door.
Tilly followed, looked around carefully, and then could not help but say, "Sir, this maid is really not doing her duty, and many places are not cleaned enough. ”
"You can stay."
Roy smiled faintly.
He closed the door, went to the living room, motioned for Tilly to sit down, and poured her a glass of water.
Tilly took a sip and said what she had heard.
"The merchants of Fenerport, whose main business is grain, are said to be facing a lot of problems right now."
"From the nobility?"
Roy said with a smile.
Tilly was stunned and said, "How do you know?" ”
"You go on."
Roy smiled but didn't say anything.
Tilly nodded respectfully, and then said to Roy, "Their granary has been on fire lately, and they suspect that the conservative aristocracy has sent someone to do it, and they have recently stepped up patrols, but to no avail. ”
"Is it true that the granary was burned?"
Roy's first reaction was "fire dragon burning warehouse", and Samsung's "factory fire".
Seeing that Tilly was confused and puzzled, he said: "Maybe they deliberately burned some of it in order to raise the price of their food, so that the price would rise in a small range." ”
"Can it still be like this?"
Tilly was surprised.
Roy smiled and said, "Fenerport is the main area of the Earth Church, and there is a lot of food there, and the main food sold to Rune is Fenerport food. ”
"I don't know, but I probably understand what you mean."
"If there's a pile of money to steal, there's no need to rob it, but if there's only one person who can steal, then we thieves might have to fight or agree on a plan to divide the spoils." ”
Roy was noncommittal, smiled and asked, "What else did you inquire?" ”
"Rumor has it that a conservative family named Louyère is targeting them."
Tilly said.
Roy narrowed his eyes.
Louyère?
Haven't heard of it.
He thought for a moment and said, "Have you heard anything about the people of the Fenneport Grain Merchants Alliance?" ”
"I only heard about the more important people called 'Ubano Mohan'."
Tilly replied.
Ubano Mohan.
Roy remembered the name and planned to go back to Lady Sijon to inquire about it.
Perhaps, if necessary, you can also "believe" in Mother Earth Goddess.
He has seen all of Frank's knowledge, and he has a certain understanding of the situation of the Church of Mother Earth God-
If that knowledge wasn't distorted by Frank.
Roy slandered.
He pondered for a moment, then pulled out a note of 5 soles.
"Well done, this is extra for you."
"I've saved more than a pound ......"
Tilly was a little surprised, and didn't dare to take it, and honestly confided the truth about what she had hidden—
Even if the other party has previously approved of such behavior.
Roy smiled: "It's your ability, one yard to one yard." ”
He gave the money to the other party.
"You're smart and have a lot of means, you know that you can't do this kind of thing on your own, so keep going."
"Yes, I understand your concerns, actually, when I go back to Dugan and Ethan, I understand why you don't dare to use me."
Tilly said sincerely, "In order to survive, some of our low-level people have some habits that are really difficult to be trusted, and I will use time to prove it." ”
"If one day ever comes, you can get a potion recipe - it's a mysterious source."
Roy is colored.
He didn't just paint a pie.
Tilly's ability to gather information is far beyond his imagination.
Originally, his expectation was that the other party had gathered information about the identity of the Feneport merchants, and that might be limited to that.
Outcome.
It only took a day for the other party to collect the names of important people in the businessman, and also collected some information that I don't know if it's true or not, but maybe it's important.
Efficiency, ability is there.
Such subordinates do have the value of cultivation.
Tilly bowed her head respectfully.
"I'll try."
"Be safe, the businessmen's bodyguards might be the same people."
Roy asked.
"I only let them go to the thieves to gather information, and I don't come out directly," Tilly said. ”
"No, the mysterious ability is far beyond your imagination, just like that day I was able to hide my body and wait for you to come back in the same place."
Roy chuckled, "I didn't guess your intentions, but I knew you would go back there." ”
Tilly was stunned for a moment, then said, "This is the potion ability you mentioned?" ”
"No, it's knowledge, the knowledge of divination, and many people do."
Roy replied.
Tilly looked stunned, then nodded solemnly.
"I'll be more careful."
"Well, deal with the tails and don't let anyone find out you're spying on them."
……
In the afternoon, Roy pondered for a long time, and finally decided-
The aristocratic matter is settled by the aristocracy.
He decides to turn to Miss Justice for help.
Just right.
Roy had brushed his face at the Tarot meeting before, so the other party would definitely give face.
Should?
Roy returned to his room, set up the ceremony, and began to chant his name.
"Dear Mr. Fool, I wish I could speak alone with Miss Justice."
After a few seconds, a crimson light shrouded in it.
The next moment, Roy arrived at the bronze hall, and there was Miss "Justice" sitting directly opposite.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Hermit."
Justice said with a smile.
Roy Schley said, "Good afternoon, Miss Justice, I would like to ask, do you know anything about the Louyère family?" ”
Justice was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't maintain the state of the audience directly.
"How do you know I'm a nobleman?"
Is this hard to guess?
Klein said in the dark.
The last Tarot meeting, when it comes to Beckland, you are most anxious, and you don't know much about the bottom, who else can you be besides the nobles?
The truth is exactly what Klein thinks.
Roy simply revealed his analysis, silencing Miss Audrey.
After a full half minute, she said, "The Louyère family ......"
"Huh?"
"They're special."
"They own fiefdoms and grain industries, but few people know that in recent years they have been secretly planning industries such as wineries. ”
So that's it......
Roy's eyes lit up.
Liquor industry!
Yes.
The so-called burning warehouse is most likely made by Ubano himself, and the so-called merchant alliance is probably also to raise the price of grain supplied to the distillery.
But.
Will the Louyère family be willing to suffer?
Not necessarily.
"Why are you asking this?"
"I have a friend who has been asked to inquire into the burning of the Merchant Warehouse of Fenerport, and I am curious about the truth here."
Roy said simply.
Klein changed his position slightly-
He was a little nervous.
The friend you are talking about must be yourself, right?
"Huh? When the grain is burned, there must be people who want them to be damaged. ”
Audrey said her opinion.
"Not necessarily."
Roy smiled, "For example, the Louyère family's distillery, which originally had 10,000 tons of grain hoarded in the South District, and the price must not be high, but half of it was burned down due to an accident?" ”
"That'...... too"
Audrey said with a sudden pause.
She looked at Roy in surprise and said, "Mr. Hermit, the grain was burned by the grain merchant himself?" ”
"Maybe it didn't burn it, but the attitude came out."
Roy smiled, "Thank you, Miss Justice, I owe you once." ”
"No, although you were just thinking about it last time, it helped us a lot, so let's offset it."
Audrey said.
"Yes, Miss Justice, thank you for your help."
Roy then saluted the Fool, "Thank you, Dear Mr. Fool! ”
"It's just a small thing."
The Fool waved his hand, and the gray mist dispersed.
They came back to reality.
The corners of Roy's mouth lifted slightly.
That's the value of information.
After learning about Luyère's situation, he quickly understood the reason inside.
Distillery, grain, money.
The motivation is clear.
The place where he could make money was not in the Fenerport merchants, but in the Louyère family and his winery.
Because......
At present, it is the Louyère family that is at a disadvantage.
If they are conservatives, then the Conservatives will keep him and his estate.
If they are from the New Party, the people from the New Party will also help him.
But they just-
On the surface, the Conservative Party is quietly moving closer to the New Party.
Eating inside and out, and involving the dispute between the conservative and the new party, who dares to help them?
Ubano was also convinced.
So.
It is likely that the merchants are only targeting the Louyère family and their winery, and there may be some nobles behind them who deliberately reveal the news.
The next day, Tilly came to the house again.
The information she collected further corroborated Roy's conjecture -
In addition to the merchants and the Louyère family, there is also a force involved.
Witte Party.
This is a gang in the Southern District that has been running Jingui Street.
"Is there a winery on Kam Gui Street?"
"Yes, Golden Cinnamon Distillery."
Tilly replied.
Roy got up, pestled his cane and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you don't need to check it in the future." ”
"No more?"
"Well, it's dangerous to keep looking."
Roy smiled.
Tilly was surprised, but didn't ask.
She understood.
Many thieves just took things that they shouldn't have taken, so they were quietly erased, and the message was actually the same as gold pounds and wallets.
It's better not to be curious about information that you shouldn't know.
"After that, you just need to help me pay attention to whether there has been an accident between the Golden Cinnamon Distillery and the Werther Party recently."
Roy said.
Tilly scratched her head.
She keenly felt that Roy would definitely get paid more for paying so much money, but she couldn't figure it out......
How can Mr. Green benefit from such a pile of information?
They seem to have value, but they don't seem to have value.
Each chapter is 5k words, so two chapters are 10,000 words update...... Yesterday was the twenty-five thousand update.
In addition, I would like to thank the "Book Friends 20230410122828463" and "Cigarette Discipline" for their rewards
