Chapter 189: Saba Who Never Existed

I have to say that there is a feeling that someone will send a pillow when sleepiness comes.

It would actually be very troublesome for Nether to rebuild the smuggling business, and if the Holy Heavenly Sound Kingdom was made such a big move, Count Lu might not be able to guarantee his own safety, and he might be liquidated by the church.

Even if it is not liquidated, smuggling will become extremely difficult.

At least for a period of time, the Holy Sound Church will not be able to allow smuggling to continue.

Therefore, Nether did not intend to rebuild the smuggling channel anytime soon.

His original idea was to make some contact first, and then restore the smuggling channel little by little.

Now that he can guarantee his basic personal safety, there is no need to be in such a hurry as he was when he was in Roya.

It can be said that the reason why things became like that in Roya has an inseparable relationship with Nether's eagerness to push things forward.

Although the affairs of the Ronnie family seem to be in trouble, the Ronnie family is a behemoth, and whales can sustain a group of marine life and thrive for about a hundred years before his traces disappear.

The Ronnie family wants to survive for a while despite the decline.

What's more, even if the Ronnie family collapses, they will not really perish, there is the existence of the Bloodline Council behind them, and they still have the possibility of rising again.

Dead but not stiff describes their kind of aristocracy or family.

Not to mention that they don't necessarily die.

Therefore, Nether's original idea was to spend a year or two first, reopen the smuggling channels, and once everything was ready, gather enough strength to start his own plan.

But now there seems to be a windfall here.

Ordnance is synonymous with wealth in this environment.

One of the things that every soldier fears the most must be the damage to his own rationed ordnance.

For most people in this world, human life is not really valuable, and too many people can be selected to become soldiers.

What is valuable is the investment in a soldier.

Meat for training, wear and tear of equipment for training, horses for rations, armor and weapons, etc.

The Minister of Finance of the country looked at the soldiers, not at the eyes of people, but at the movement of the Tarkin with a pen.

War costs money, and each soldier spends more money than all the wealth they have ever held.

Where does the military expenditure come from, it is naturally a variety of taxes, among which there is a tax levied by the state for the nobles, called the military tax, which is so heavy that some nobles want to rebel.

In this case, these nobles naturally want to earn this money back from various aspects.

And how to make money for a project, the items that need to be consumed are the easiest places to start.

For example, in some companies in Nether's previous life, the amount of toilet paper consumed each month can make people wonder if their company is just a big toilet.

How does the army make money? Ordnance, bounties, soldiers' salaries, and even the purchase of food for training.

Among them, ordnance is the majority, including the procurement of ordnance and the disposal of scrapped ordnance.

Every once in a while, the local army of Ode would scrap a batch of ordnance, which was recorded in the accounts on the grounds that it was damaged.

If you go to the scrapped armory, you will only find a pile of rotten wood, which is scrapped ordnance, at least in the accounts.

And the real ordnance has been transported out of the barracks and then sold through various channels.

It's just that this kind of thing, the high interest is scary, and once it is caught, the result of the punishment is also very scary.

For this kind of behavior, the royal family will implicate a large number of people if they catch one, and then deal with them all.

The blood left behind can be poured into the dreams of every person who does related business, so that their daily lives feel bloody.

The Kingdom of Lorcan will definitely check these things from all sides.

For example, in the past, there was a batch of ordnance inside, there was a batch of iron plates with numbers printed on them, and according to the batch, these weapons with hidden numbers were sent to various garrisons.

Then they tracked down the weapons on the market, and after a few months, they tracked down the new batch of weapons that had been sent to the garrison, and quickly pinpointed which garrison it was, and then the big review began.

During those months, people were kicked open every day by a group of men in black fur coats, dragged out into the street, and drowned in a dung heap on the corner.

It is said that in addition to that garrison base, many riots broke out in other places, and many mercenaries or gangsters armed with new weapons were slaughtered by groups of people who acted quickly and were well-armed.

That incident had a great impact.

But no matter how big the impact is, it can't resist the temptation of money.

Obviously, now the local army on the side of Austro-German is once again intending to make money from this aspect.

However, in order to ensure that the money can be kept in hand after making money, some people in the local army have also become extra careful.

They introduced spokesmen, and the spokesmen used pseudonyms, and had nothing to do with most of the people who received benefits, they were very 'clean' people, and the accounts of the ordnance scrap were also done flawlessly, and they were careful about who the ordnance was sold to, how to sell it, and how much to sell.

'Saba' was the one they brought out, the person in charge of it, and Quito was one of Saba's chosen channels.

The purpose is just to ensure that after this batch of ordnance is sold, it will not be caught by the financial pickets of the Lorcan Kingdom.

After all, no matter how perfect the accounts are, in the face of those damn black leather clothes, they will be pulled out and killed.

Nether could speculate that once Quito had a problem, 'Saba' would have never existed.

This is also the reason why Nether did not kill Quito immediately.

He needs some channels to reach out to this Saba.

If nothing else, Saba has an inseparable relationship with the local aristocracy.

Among them may be the Ronnie family's current rivals, the Cullens.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to use the Karen family's mission to intercept Nether as a test for Guido to complete the mission.

Even the family behind Nether's cousin Eve, the Mena family will be involved, but each family is responsible for a different part, takes different risks, and makes different money.

Nether would not be hypocritical to think that there was anything wrong with cooperating with his enemies.

It is because of their interests that they become hostile, and now they cooperate because of interests, which is no more than one thing, and there are too many enemies of this kind of interests.

There is only one enemy that is truly uncooperative, and that is a blood feud.

In addition to that, there are some troubles.

"Blades?" Nesser thought about the news he had received from Quito, and he also had a headache.

People like Quito will prepare many backup plans, and Quito has already taken some insurance measures before contacting Sofia and his party to do it.

For example, when he hid in a hidden stronghold and asked his cronies to contact the Blade team, several efficient intermediaries had already handed over the task of assassinating Nether to the Blade team, and even paid a deposit.

Quito, who is in a secret stronghold, will not be able to meet with the Blades again.

In other words, the assassination of Nether is already on the way, and they may be assassinated as soon as they walk out of the pharmacy.

As for whether Quito can afford to pay the final payment, that's a matter for the Blade Team and Quito, and the Blade Team who received the deposit will not care about Nether's words.

What's more, Nether doesn't want to reveal that he is the one who raided Quito now.

"So I still have to strengthen myself. Nether looked at the sky that was no longer so dim, and knew in his heart that it would not be long before the sky would light up.

He hurriedly took Regina and started working.

Alva's mental power, which was now bothering him, had been transferred to Quido's mind, and if those people were suspicious of Quito and wanted to examine Quido's head to see if he had leaked secrets, that mental power would become a small gift.

In other words, there is no hidden danger in his current mental state, but he has not yet returned to his full state.

"Therefore, it is not realistic to break through the dimensional stage and enter the overflow stage, and if I want to enhance my strength, I need to start from other aspects. ”

Nether spoke, then pulled out the pot of flame that had been captured from the Yellow and Black Fangs.

The reason why Sophia's mercenary team took the order to intercept Nether was for a flame inscription technique and a bottle of fire liquid.

The purpose was naturally for Yellow and Black Fang to forge this pot of flame into something like a ritual.

And now Nether is also interested in the pot of flames.
