Chapter 2000 Fireball and Ice Ball
I asked Master Dewey again for information about the monsters that appeared in Airui City.
Master Dewey said that he was not very clear. After all, the relationship between Airey City and Fort Vicky was now normal, and the Fort Vicky army could no longer be stationed there as before, and it was impossible for the residents to immigrate to a country that excluded foreigners.
Therefore, no matter in terms of intelligence sources or intelligence updates, it is impossible to be the latest and fastest.
Master Dewey's tone was full of helplessness.
I can completely understand his mood at this moment.
Facing a country that rejects foreigners, the only way to obtain its internal intelligence is to use money to bribe informants.
Humans are not an easy race to deal with. They are more greedy than goblins, and they are good at calculating and clever.
After learning the identity of the employer through insinuations, the intelligence fee will be increased in various ways according to the identity, status and financial resources of the employer.
Some civilian informants are okay, although they will improve a bit, but due to their status and background, they dare not be too presumptuous, for fear of accidentally angering world-class tycoons such as Master Dewey, and then risking their own lives. .
However, civilian informants can only obtain a vague overview of the intelligence at best, and those who truly grasp the details of the intelligence must be those nobles in high positions, especially the upper echelons of the nobles - the great nobles.
These people have high positions of power, have many intelligence personnel under their control, and know almost everything that happens in their territory.
If you want to bribe people of this level, money is not impossible, but the amount must be huge, huge enough to scare them, forcing them to lower their proud heads and willingly hand over the information.
With Master Dewey's financial resources, he could even buy off all the nobles in Ai Rui City, but he had no grudge against money and was not the kind of person who would throw money away like waste paper.
On the contrary, he is only willing to spend money where he thinks it is valuable, and he is not willing to spend a word on places where there is no value.
The appearance of monsters in the forest around Airui City is an interesting novelty for Master Dewey, but it is far from being a valuable thing.
Since it was of no value, he naturally refused to waste too much money on it. He would only order people to bribe some civilian informants to roughly figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
So what if I can’t figure it out?
Anyway, this is just an anomaly that appears around Airey City. It has nothing to do with Fort Vicky, so why bother wasting financial and material resources?
After hearing Master Dewey's rather vague words, I felt helpless, sighed softly, and said, "Father, I have an unkind request."
"You want me to pay more attention to the monster thing, right?"
"That's right," I said, "To be honest, I don't think it's a coincidence that monsters suddenly appeared in the forest around Airui City. On the contrary, I suspect that someone is conducting unknown experiments in hidden places, and these The monster is most likely the result of the experiment.”
After a moment of silence, Master Dewey's voice came out again. This time, his tone became slightly more serious: "Well, I understand, please pay attention to your safety."
After that, he hung up the call.
Master Dewey's serious tone made me feel very reassured. Through my suggestions, he finally planned to face this matter seriously.
But having said that, if the monster was really created through Carter Scott's experiment, there must be a considerable number of monsters wandering near the test site.
Informants who sneak into the forest, especially near the test site, are bound to be attacked horribly, and perhaps suffer massive casualties as a result.
If such a tragic thing really happens, can I take this opportunity to further shake the dominance of the Carter family through the words of the people of Airey City?
To put it bluntly, if you want to conquer the entire country of Airui City, the biggest problem is not the army or the Adventurer's Guild, but the people.
Assuming that all the people support Carter Rodney's rule, I can now encourage all countries to join forces to attack Airey City. It won't be long before Carter Horton's regime will be overthrown.
But the current situation is that Carter Horton is still the king in the hearts of the vast majority of people in Airey City. Even if Carter Horton's regime is overthrown and Carter Rodney is promoted to the throne, those people who are disobedient to control will surely would be the bane of the Rodney regime.
If you want to eradicate the root cause of the disaster, it is not enough to use violence alone, you also need to win over and bribe it.
When I think about these troublesome problems, I can't help but have a headache.
"Okay, stop thinking about those mythical things," Odachi said, "Let's think about reality. I think your injuries have generally recovered and you can continue to attack the next level."
"That's right." He stretched out his waist, climbed up from the ground, shook his arms and legs, then looked at the pierced leg armor and shoulder armor, frowned and thought for a while, and walked to the remains of the green puppet knight. , replacing all the armor on his body with that of the green puppet knight.
After I finished changing my clothes, I made a few poses with the translucent light film that could create an image. I thought it looked pretty good, so I left with satisfaction.
Just after I passed through the portal, what appeared in front of me were two little monsters, one a burning flame and one a snowflake-shaped ice ball exuding cold air.
And they all have a very interesting feature, that is, they all have eyes. The fireball's eyes are two orange-red holes, and the ice ball's eyes are like two light blue plasters attached to the face.
I was looking at them with curiosity on my face when I heard Fireball say: "Hey, what are you looking at?"
Faced with its very unfriendly attitude, instead of being irritated, I became even more curious.
"Can you talk?"
"Are you looking down on us?" Fireball waved his small palm angrily and slapped me hard.
The small slap on the breastplate immediately caused a slight explosion.
"Hiss" I took a breath, looked at the breastplate that was constantly steaming, and thought to myself: "This little thing is too hot-tempered. Don't even say a word, the communication hasn't even started, he just directly Let’s do it!”
Just when I was confused as to why the fireball suddenly attacked me, the face of the ice ball next to me suddenly protruded, and the protrusion became more and more exaggerated. Soon, a very sharp ice thorn stretched out in front of my arm and stabbed me.
Immediately, starting from the point where he was stabbed, a thin layer of frost spread, and soon wrapped half of his arm.
"Hey! What are you doing?" I took a step back, flicked my hand, and shook off the frost on my armor.
Originally, Hockey Ball was the first to attack me, but after I shook off the frost, Hockey Ball blinked his big round eyes and warned me in a very aggrieved tone: "Don't bully me, otherwise I will tell Brother Shisuke." !”
