Chapter 13 Opportunities and Risks (II)
(The first watch, there are two more shifts in the evening, the ghost asks for all kinds of data support, thank you.) )
――――――――――――――
"By the way, I used to talk to you a lot, uncle, but I rarely heard you talk about rumors about our imperial empress. Have, who vaguely felt that there was a problem here, deliberately brought up this issue.
"Oh, you said that little girl, what rumors can an eleven-year-old child have, it's nothing more than a playful little girl, didn't I tell you last time that she sneaked out of the palace and went out for a ride with Prince Charming. ”
"yes. Hede smiled, but he was very surprised in his heart, it was very abnormal that a commoner like Majik was so disrespectful to the Empress of the Empire, and as the supreme authority of the only human realm, all kinds of deeds were actually rarely circulated.
Even small and medium-sized nobles who are not strong and financially strong will pay attention to spreading their good reputation in various ways, such as disaster relief, funding the construction of public welfare places, etc., for example, the "dragon veiners" Degens family uses the medium of bards to spread their family's deeds to the public, which is actually normal.
It stands to reason that even if the current Empress Olympus is young, the royal family and loyal nobles will appropriately spread the message that the Empress is academically excellent, kind-hearted, and kind to the maids and bodyguards, and erects a good image for the highest authorities in the empire, which is the basic propaganda technique of the ruling class.
But now the deeds of the Empress of the Empire are poorly known among the people, and the occasional negative news such as playfulness is still circulating, which is very abnormal, and there are obviously potential reasons.
"Something isn't right...... , Abnormal rumors, the only royal family cultivation inheritance of the eye demon type monster crystal nucleus is in short supply, the most supportive of the royal family, the Ingres family attaches importance to the elemental crystal nucleus is extremely sought-after, these unrelated news are linked, and the conclusion drawn is very terrifying. ”
"Such a secret suppression of the royal family and the pro-imperial aristocratic family, is it a bloody incident of one or a few wealthy nobles trying to usurp the throne and seize power?
Hede didn't believe that anyone could overthrow the Olympian dynasty in the last few decades, but he knew that the Olympian royal family, as the absolute supreme power of a truly centralized country, had made careful arrangements for rebellion and other precautions as early as the beginning of the country, and there were countless hidden hole cards in secret, so don't think that the current empress is a little girl and despise the real strength of the Olympian royal family.
"Actually using this kind of subordinate means to suppress the royal family and the pro-imperial faction, I'm afraid that the mastermind of this thing has a bit of a problem with his head, do you really think that this small method will be effective? Head chuckled slightly.
"Uncle, are there different merchants who are raising prices with each other to buy eye demons and elemental crystal nuclei?"
"Yes, I heard that there are merchants from the central region of the empire in various border cities to buy these crystal nuclei, and the price has risen a lot every day, these types of crystal nuclei have far exceeded the normal market price, and a LV10 eye demon crystal nucleus has actually been fried to a high price of nearly 100 gold coins. Nowadays, many hunters are looking around for relevant information, hoping to make a fortune. ”
"Is the work in the city entrusted with all the work tasks that are issued this kind of work?" Hade thought that since he could analyze the situation from this information, he must have also noticed that the West family was also aware of it, this family was a staunch pro-imperial faction, and he should take action in the face of the royal family's covert suppression.
"Well, there is, but the reward given is very average, and no one wants to take it, and even if a hunter gets these kinds of crystal nuclei, he would rather buy them for those merchants who are in a hurry to purchase them at a high price. ”
Sure enough, Head chuckled slightly. It's like a big landlord with a barn full of rice saying to his peers who covet his status and wealth, "Oh, the harvest has not been good recently, and the hired farmers have no seeds for next year." Then the fool desperately bought rice, delusionally not leaving even half a seed to the big landlord, dreaming that he would soon be able to bankrupt the other party, and in one fell swoop he would take the big landlord's mansion, Guangdi, wife, beautiful concubine, gold, silver and jewelry.
“...... It turns out that the nobles are not all scheming, and there are also guys who are lured by such earthy deceptions. Hede sighed secretly, although he was not interested in knowing which nobles had been caught, and he was not qualified to have the strength to participate in conspiracy at this level, but he had found some opportunities in it.
"Tomorrow I will go to the Duke's Mansion to continue to take care of the work of wolf fighting, uncle, you and Desi have recently stepped up their cultivation to improve their strength, well, it is not bad to exercise your actual combat skills after work, and hunt some magical beasts to earn some extra money." I think you'd better start with these areas, fifty kilometers southwest of Roland City, and about forty kilometers northwest of the mountainous ......."
Hade successively named several areas inhabited by low-level Warcraft, and divided them into several levels according to the degree of danger, and also reminded which types of Warcraft are more dangerous and need special attention, as well as their weaknesses, etc., and even explained some noteworthy geographical environments one by one.
"Hey, Hede, you know more about these things than I do?" said Magik, surprised.
"Of course, some time ago, I was wandering around with Lord Wella's wolf fighting pack, do you think I'm really playing? Of course, I will take advantage of the opportunity to have such a strong bodyguard to protect me, carefully observe the geographical environment, and understand the distribution of various magical beasts there. There are some things that Hed didn't have to say, but the information he had obtained through his field trips had made him further affirm how correct and valuable his unique knowledge was.
The silver-haired female apprentice and the baby-faced uncle were surprised, they really didn't expect this black-haired boy to be so cautious.
"By the way, uncle, we haven't been to the tavern for a long time to drink and chat, so why don't we go relax today. ”
"Okay, where to go?" Maggik certainly wouldn't object to Head's offer, he's a playboy with a penchant for going to the tavern.
"Well, let's go to the rabbit house, I just have a business I want to talk to the proprietress about. ”
Magik frowned and glanced at the silent silver-haired girl Dess next to her. He hadn't been to the Bunny House Tavern since he was forced to hand over his inheritance to the organization to which Ninija's boss belonged last time, and he had a bad impression of that boss lady.
Seeing Majik's thoughts, Hide smiled: "But any business must have benefits and risks, find a partner and try to push the risk to him, then it doesn't matter if you give him some benefits." ”
Hearing the ill-intentioned in Hide's words, Madjik laughed: "Interesting, then let's go." ”
Even Des, who had never had a good impression of the tavern, was slightly intrigued by Hide's words, stood up and said, "I'll go too." ”
