Release that Witch Chapter 299: Information and messengers
Greycastle Kingdom Capital, a mansion with a garden in the inner city.
Today is the scheduled information exchange day. Tasa is sitting on a soft chair in the living room, waiting for the members of the Pigeon and Hat Acrobatic Troupe. After the autumn, the closing time of the inner city gate was advanced to the evening, and the secret party had to be changed to the afternoon.
The first person to arrive in a mansion is always Hill Fawkes.
He wore a blue velvet open-necked jacket, light gray leggings and moccasins, and tied a white bow tie at the neck and a noble dress. After saluting, he returned the History of Kingdom Customs under his armpit to Tasa, who took the book and glanced at him with interest, "Read it?"
"Yes," Hill nodded, then hesitantly said, "Don't you teach me some fighting Swordsmanship ... or assassination techniques?"
"Why?"
"When the evil broke out, you said that you would train me to be a qualified intelligence officer," he scratched his head. "So far, you have only given me some weird books to read. "
"You mean" Custom History "?" Tasa gave himself pour a cup wine and threw two ice cubes. "This is not a bizarre book. It records the origin, tradition, and family emblem of noble across the kingdom. As well as special products of the place of interest. As an intelligence collector, first of all, you need to be well-informed to determine the value of news from all over the place. As for Swordsmanship and the assassination? "He smiled," I have no intention to let you lurk in somewhere. An organization may go deep into the enemy to investigate the news, which is dangerous and time-consuming. With this effort, it is better to spend more gold royal to buy the insider directly.
"But not everyone can be bought," insisted Hill.
"And those leak-proof tissues are also difficult to insert into the eyes. Without a dozen or twenty years of effort, it is unlikely to sneak in." Tasa shakes the glass and sips ice wine, "qualified information People just need to do two things well: identify the message and hide themselves. The books I gave you are the basis for distinguishing the message. As for the second point ... as a member of the acrobatic group, you should be more experienced than me. For example, You look so good today.
"..." Just as Hill Fawkes bowed his head to think about the meaning of these words, Clown and others also rushed to this remote house.
"Sir, everyone is here."
"That being the case, let's start," Tasa put down wine cup, spread out the notepad, "Who's coming first?"
"Let me say it first, sir," the most burly Rock said first, "camp outside the eastern suburbs of Kingdom Capital lived in a group of newcomers."
This news made personal guard brow slightly. I didn't expect that the first information I heard was not good news. Since most of the Kingdom Capital Knight group was damaged, this barracks set up in the suburbs has become the militia team's place of residence. All Mouse, refugees and criminals recruited by Timothy will be stuffed into Dongying before the expedition. And more than a month ago, a team of more than a thousand people of militia was just sent to Western Region. Now there are new staff?
"How many?"
"At present there are only two or three hundred people, most of them seem to be from Northern Lands ... In addition, there are some Mouse of the Blood Sail Club, but compared to the first two, there are not many Mouse who are willing to go.
"Closely monitor their movements. camp will report to me every time when more than 200 people are added." Tasa commanded.
"Yes, sir."
These people have only one use, which is to use the pill as a consumable. Now Queen of Clear Water goes north, southern region has no resistance, Timothy will undoubtedly continue to attack His Royal Highness Roland's territory, he must pass the news back to Border Town as soon as possible.
"The confidential information that Clown brings to you next time, or drunk chat," Clown said in an exaggerated tone. "I can't verify the truth of this news, but I heard the businessmen have a nose. If you have a face, let's take it as true. They said that the Blacksail fleet of Garcia Wimbledon appeared on Kingdom of Eternal Winter and launched an attack on Church, and the siege of Wolf Heart city was thus disintegrated. They are also preparing to take advantage of this before winter. For a while, bring some scarce goods to the past. "
Queen of Clear Water went to Eternal Winter? Tasa was slightly surprised, but this news is true or false. important. She chose to go north to leave Greycastle, which means that she has given up her right to compete for the throne. "That's all?"
"Okay, I know it's a little far away from Greycastle," he said, sticking out his tongue. "I'll ask for more useful information next time."
"cough cough," Hill coughed twice, "Sir, you have new clues for your task entrusted to me, Timothy has built a new workshop in the inner city, and also recruited a lot of Mud craftsmen. A large number of recently acquired saltpeter were shipped to It ’s there. But the security around the workshop is so tight that my people ca n’t learn more about the uses of saltpeter. "
"Oh?" Tasa refreshed, "They really brought saltpeter into the workshop?"
"That's true," Hill nodded, "I also personally followed a carriage."
This is extremely valuable information. He has been with Roland for a long time. He naturally knows that gunpowder is an alchemy item, and its main component is saltpeter. Since the saltpeter of the nitric acid manufacturing plant around Kingdom Capital was acquired, he has noticed this and arranged Hill Fawkes to investigate the destination and use of the goods.
Now the other party transferred the saltpeter from Alchemy Association to the workshop, the intention is already very obvious from alchemy test to workshop production, it shows that they have mastered the formula of gunpowder. The priority of this piece of information is even higher than the new soldiers in the Eastern Suburb camp.
"Good job," Tasa applauded.
...
After the secret talk, everyone left the mansion in batches.
Hill suddenly asked before leaving, "Sir, when we do these things, can we really push Timothy to the throne?"
"Of course," personal guard smiled, "Don't you see the letter from His Highness Roland through soldier defeat? His throne is already crumbling."
In the evening, back to the Trumpeter Tavern, Tasa saw an unexpected acquaintance: Sean.
Like himself, he is also the personal guard around Four His Highness the Prince.
Entering the guest room on the second floor, the two of them chuckled for a moment before Tasa closed the curtains and asked in a low voice, "How do you know I'm here?"
"His Royal Highness gave me a token and asked me to find Ms. Margery. She knows where you are." Sean took out a crystal-clear red gem and shook it.
"He has a new mission account?"
"It's not a task, it's a gift," Sean smiled and walked to the window, opened the seam of the curtain and whistleed. I saw three taupe birds flew into the room and landed on the table and shouted at him gu gu. After each bird was fed some wheat kernels, they stopped.
Tasa is the first time I have seen such a spiritual bird, "This is ..."
"The courier trained by witch." Sean stroked the gray bird's neck and explained, "Unlike the carrier pigeons, they can travel to and from two places by themselves, without the need to be taken away by people to fly home. Say a specific password to the birds, and they will send the message to His Royal Highness. If it works, you only need to wait a day to receive a response from Your Highness. "
(To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.)
