Volume 3: The Ravager Chapter 177: Preparation

Old Patriarch Fulin looked up at Du Dian and said, "You don't seem surprised."

Du Dian smiled slightly and said, "Why are you surprised?"

"Alchemists are evil and dark beings, and the nobles who are high above and even make knights allegiance to them have contacts with these evil and dirty guys. Isn't it surprising?" Old Patriarch Flynn looked at him.

Du Di'an smiled lightly and said: "Everyone has a dark side, let alone your mere nobles, even the Pope of Light, I believe there are secrets that no one can see, so there is nothing to be surprised about, if there is no despicable and dirty means, just rely on being upright and upright. , how can you live a nourishing life, after all, the world's resources are limited, if you live well, it means that someone has a bad life, and the bad ones will naturally try their best to take you away."

Old Patriarch Fulin looked at him silently and said, "Is this what you learned in prison?"

"This is just a very simple rule, everyone knows it, there is nothing to learn." Du Di'an said indifferently: "Do you know which nobles are there, and do alchemists work for them?"

The old patriarch Fulin glanced at him, sighed lightly, and said, "This is too much. Basically, all the upper-class nobles are secretly related to alchemists or the dark church, including the military."

"Then do you know who is the alchemist behind the Milan family and the Bron family?" Du Di'an asked again.

The old patriarch Fulin shook his head and said: "I don't know this, the communication between each family and the alchemist is extremely secret, except for the trusted cronies of the patriarch, even the children of the family may not know, let alone other However, if you want to know more, you can look for clues from the various industries of their family. Alchemists help the nobles to develop new products and sell them. If you can find a person who joined the Dark Holy See, From the alchemy of the new product, the approximate identity can be traced, and of course, this also requires a lot of gold coins."

Du Di'an's eyes flickered slightly and said: "Nobles and alchemists communicate secretly, does the Holy See of Light know?"

"They are not fools, of course they know it." Old Patriarch Fulin sighed: "It's just that although the Holy See of Light has a huge power and a wide range of believers, it still has to rely on our nobles. If the economic system of the nobles collapses, it will cause harm to the common people. The loss will be greater, and then it will cause a series of chain reactions, in our circle, called currency storms, once it occurs, it will even cause riots in various regions, which is something the Holy See does not want to see.”

Du Di'an knew that the currency storm in his mouth was similar to the financial crisis of the old era, and said, "So, the Holy See of Light is turning a blind eye?"

"It doesn't count." The old patriarch Fulin shook his head slightly and said: "If there is no conclusive evidence, rashly searching the nobles will cause a collective backlash from other nobles, which is jealous of the Holy See of Light. Therefore, although they know that most nobles are closely related to The alchemists have contacts, but they suffer from no way to trace them, because they have no evidence in their hands, once they have the evidence, even an ancient family like the Mel family will be wiped out!"

Du Dian's eyes narrowed, and it seemed that he still underestimated the power of the Holy See of Light.

"In the town of Yade, does your family have their own shop?" Du Di'an asked a different topic.

The old patriarch Fulin was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean by asking this, do you want to borrow it?"

"Well, if you borrow it for a period of time, it will be returned to you at the rental price afterwards."

"Are you taking it for sale or what?" Old Patriarch Fulin looked at him suspiciously.

"Selling things." With a smile on Du Dian's face, he said: "It happens that I also know an alchemist, and it can be regarded as a way to win our consortium, how about it?"

"You know an alchemist?" Old Patriarch Fulin narrowed his pupils and looked at him in surprise, "How did you know him? Weren't you in prison before?"

"This is my private matter, so don't ask more." Du Dian reminded.

The old patriarch Fulin reacted, still looking at him in surprise, and finally gave up the question and said, "What faction does this alchemist friend you know belong to?"

Du Di was a little surprised. He didn't expect the old man to know a lot about alchemists. He said, "It's from the "Material" faction. I got an alchemy technique from him, and I will go to collect materials tomorrow. You should be able to make a lot of money doing it. "

The old patriarch Fulin breathed a sigh of relief. The nobles most like to interact with are the alchemists of the "Material" faction. They do not need to be treated with care and politeness like the potions, so as not to be angered, and they do not need to be like the alchemists of the "Life" faction. So, frightened.

"Is this the gift you gave me?" Old Patriarch Fulin sighed, "I didn't expect you to have such a backstage. What level is this alchemist?"

"It will be very high." Du Dian answered briefly.

The old patriarch Fulin didn't hear anything different and said with a smile: "It's good that it's very high, if it is a two-star or three-star alchemist, our Ryan family may be able to turn around a little, at least when faced with the pressure of other financial groups, it will not be a problem. Unable to fight back."

Seeing that he was still testing for specific information, Du Dian smiled lightly and said, "It's getting late, I should go back."

The old patriarch Fulin couldn't see any thoughts from Du Dian's expression, and secretly said in his heart: "When I heard the three-star alchemist, the complexion didn't change, even if it was not three-star, most of it was two-star." Thinking of this, I felt a little joy in my heart, At the same time, he quickly thought about the plan.

...

...

the next day.

Du Di'an came to several other nearby towns to buy materials such as yellow phosphorus, wood, and red phosphorus. He came to another remote town, temporarily rented a small workshop with a gold coin, and then purchased the materials are transported here.

During this process, Du Di'an thought that the old patriarch Fulin would send someone to follow him, but he didn't expect to smell the stalking along the way, and immediately remembered that this old man probably knew his magic mark ability through the Mellon consortium before, so No useless work was done.

After the materials were prepared, it was already afternoon. Du Dian thought of the opening party of the consortium in the evening, and immediately stopped what he was doing, preparing to go to the slave market tomorrow to hire a few workers to start work.

Night falls soon.

After a whole day of dressing up, Lane Castle has become a lot more alive. The lamp oil on the walls everywhere has been replaced with high-value white grease, which burns brightly and does not have any strange smell, even a faint of aroma.

The lawns in the castle have also been trimmed, and the roads are swept very cleanly. The knights guarding the castle also wiped the armor that he hadn't washed for a long time, so that it almost reflected the light. (To be continued)).
