Grey Castle King Capital, a luxury garden mansion in the inner city.
Today is the scheduled intelligence exchange day, and Tassa sits on a soft chair in the living room, waiting for the arrival of the Pigeon and the top hat acrobatic team members.
After autumn, the inner city gate was closed in advance to the evening, and the secret party had to be changed to the afternoon.
The first person to arrive at the mansion is always Hilforks.
He wore a blue velvet open-collared jacket, light gray leggings and deerskin boots on his lower body, and a white bow tie around his neck, looking like an aristocratic look.
After saluting, he handed back the "History of Kingdom Customs" under his arm to Tassa. The latter took the book and glanced at him with great interest. Have you finished reading it?
Yes, Hill nodded and then hesitated, "Don't you teach me some fighting sword skills... or assassination skills?"
Why?
When the evil disease broke out, you said that you would train me to be a qualified intelligence officer. He scratched his head, but so far, you only gave me some strange books to read.
Are you talking about "History of Customs"?Tassa poured himself a glass of wine and threw two ice cubes in it. This is not a strange book. It records the origins, traditions, family emblems, and specialties of famous places in various parts of the kingdom.As an intelligence collector, you must first be knowledgeable in order to roughly determine whether the information from various places is valuable.As for swordsmanship and assassination?He smiled, I didn't plan to let you lurk into an organization or go deep into the enemy to investigate information, which would be dangerous and time-consuming. With this effort, it would be better to spend more Golden Dragon to buy insiders directly.
But not everyone can be bought, Hill insisted.
And those tissues that are not leaky are also difficult to insert into the eyes. It is unlikely to sneak into them without more than ten or twenty years of hard work.Tassa shook his cup and drank ice wine. Qualified intelligence personnel only need to do two things: identify the information and hide themselves.The books I give you are the basis for distinguishing news. As for the second point... As a member of the acrobatic troupe, you should be more experienced than me.For example, your outfit is very good today.
... Just as Hilfox lowered his head and thought about the meaning of these words, the clown and others rushed to this remote residence one after another.
Adults, everyone is here.
That being the case, let's start, Tassa put down his wine glass and spread his notepad, who will come first?
Let me talk first, sir, the first opening of the rock mountain, the most burly, is the camp in the outskirts of the East District of the Wangdu.
This news made the guard brow slightly, and he didn't expect that the first information he heard was not good news.
Since the King Capital Knights lost most of the money, this barracks set up in the suburbs have become the garrison of the militia.
Any rats, fugitives and criminals recruited by Tifeko will be stuffed into the East Camp before going to war.
More than a month ago, a team of more than a thousand militias were just sent to the West, and now there are new personnel to replenish them?
How many are there?
Currently there are only two or three hundred people, most of them seem to come from the north... In addition, there are some Blood Sail Club rats, but compared to the first two times, there are not many mice willing to go.
We will closely monitor their movements. We will report to me every time the camp adds more than 200 new people.Tassa ordered.
Yes, sir.
These people have only one use, that is, they are used as consumables after taking pills.
Now that the Queen of Bishui is heading north, there is no resistance in the southern border. Tifeco will undoubtedly continue to attack His Highness Roland's territory, and he must pass this news back to the border town as soon as possible.
Next, the secret information brought to you, or, in a drunk chat, the clown said in an exaggerated tone, "I can't verify the authenticity of this news, but if you hear those who are good at talking about it, just take it as true."They said that the black sailing fleet of Garcia Wimbledon appeared in the Kingdom of Eternal Winter and launched an attack on the church, and the siege of Wolf Heart City collapsed.They are also planning to take advantage of the period before winter to bring some scarce commodities to sell.
The Queen of Bishui actually went to Yongdong?
Tassa was a little surprised, but it doesn't matter whether the news is true or false. She chose to go north to leave Gray Castle, which means she has given up the right to fight for the throne. That's all?
Well, I know this is a bit far from Gray Castle, he stuck out his tongue, I will ask for more useful information next time.
Cough, Hill coughed twice. Sir, there are new clues to the task you have entrusted to me. Tifeke built a new workshop in the inner city area and recruited many craftsmen. The large number of saltpeters that have been purchased recently have been shipped there.However, the workshop is under high security and my people cannot further understand the purpose of saltpeter.
oh?Tassa was so energetic that they really transported saltpeter into the workshop?
That's true, Hill nodded, and I also personally followed a carriage for transporting goods.
This is extremely valuable information. After staying with His Highness Roland for a long time, he naturally knew that the invincible gunpowder was an alchemy item, and its main component was saltpeter.
He has noticed this since the saltpeter in the nitrogen-making farm around the capital was acquired and arranged for Hilforks to inquire about the whereabouts and uses of the goods.
Now that the other party has transferred saltpeter from the alchemy association to the workshop, the intention has been very obvious from alchemy experiment to workshop production, which means that they have mastered the formula of gunpowder.
The priority of this information is even higher than the new soldiers added to the Eastern Suburb Camp.
Good job.Tassa praised.
……
After the secret talks, everyone left the mansion in batches.
Before leaving, Hill suddenly asked, "Sir, can we really push Tifeko down from the throne when we do what we do?"
Of course, the personal guard smiled and said, "Have you seen the letters sent by His Highness Roland through the defeated soldiers?"His throne was already shaking.
In the evening, when he returned to the underground trolley tavern, Tassa met an unexpected acquaintance: Sean.
Like himself, he is also the personal guard beside His Highness the Fourth Prince.
Walking into the guest room on the second floor, the two of them exchanged a moment of greeting before Tassa pulled up the curtains and asked in a low voice, "How do you know I'm here?"
His Highness gave me a token and asked me to go to Ms. Margaret, who knew where you were.Sean took out a crystal clear red gem and swayed it.
Does he have a new task?
It was not a task, it was a gift. Sean smiled and walked to the window, uncovered a crack in the curtain, and whistled.
Three gray-brown birds flew into the room and fell on the table and croaked at him.
They stopped after feeding each bird some wheat grains.
This is the first time Tassa has seen such a spiritual bird, this is...
The messenger trained by the witch.Sean stroked the neck of the gray bird and explained that unlike the carrier pigeon, they can travel back and forth between the two places independently without being taken away by people and then released to the nest.You only need to say a specific password to the birds and they will send the message to His Highness.If it goes well, you only need to wait for a day to receive a reply from Your Highness.
