"Do you have a direction to start with?" Fen would also be concerned about such an important matter. At least you need to know when you should go on a killing spree to intimidate everyone and make it easier for you.
Someone certainly knew what the lich's expression meant. He shook his head to stop and said: "It's not that far yet. Let's find out what the situation is first. Uzov, please start with the Ikaruga Alliance's intelligence network. Knowing that it's an issue with the airship, you should be able to Let’s get some relevant news. And I’m going to visit some new friends.”
Now everyone was curious. Halumi spoke quickly and asked first, "Who are you looking for?"
"Remember the fat man who went to the Sid to collect taxes?"
After mentioning it briefly, everyone remembered that there was indeed such a number one person. Lin continued: "To silence serious business people, there must be pressure. If it's pressure from the underground world, there will always be people who won't give in. But this time, the whole army was wiped out, not even a single person who could help. If you can't find any, it means that the pressure comes from a bigger place. And in a bigger place, apart from official people, it is unlikely that there will be others. Unless there is an underground emperor in the Gwana Empire. Since It’s an official matter, so of course you have to ask someone in this field to inquire.”
Thinking of the performance of the fat manager, everyone had little confidence. The lich, who thought he had a good grasp of people's hearts, asked: "Can that man use it?"
"Hehe, if he were a high-ranking palace official, I would still be worried. But it is the humble little manager who knows how to work. That guy is a smart man and won't do anything too stupid. What's more, Whether the other party says it or not, as long as he shows an attitude, it is a clue to us."
Most people can't understand a simple sentence. I have experienced the sophistication of the black dragon and the lich, and I know a little bit about it. Only Uzov, who is well versed in this, understands the meaning of someone's words. From the moment you meet the other party, it's a trial. No matter what the other party says, it is always an answer. There are very few people who understand this; but once they do, such people can become very good spies.
Just saying... This magician is already troublesome enough. If he was also proficient in human nature, he would have almost no opponent. Uzov commented in his heart.
"Teacher, do you want us to follow?" Kaya asked, maintaining her usual calmness.
Lin waved his hands in disgust and said: "Whatever you do with me, you are just a burden. If I am the only one, no one can catch me. With one more of you, I am like an extra rope to tie my hands." Like tying your feet.
Everyone was speechless, but they had to admit that this magician was telling the truth. After being together for such a long time, everyone more or less understands the shortcomings and advantages of the flash technique. In the end, I could only watch the other party leave.
Although I don’t know where the fat manager of the airship station lives, he will definitely appear in the management cabin, after all, that is where he works. And that place was a place that someone had passed by before, so he already had detailed map information. After Lin confirmed the distance again, he activated the flash technique and went directly to the roof of the hut.
After checking with my own detection methods, there was no one in the house. It seems that the management officials saw the new airship again and excitedly came forward to ask for taxes from the empire.
Lin flashed again and entered the management office. The furnishings in the cabin are extremely simple, there are no luxurious decorations, but they are very comfortable. It seems that the person in charge of this area is also a master of showing off in a low-key manner.
While someone was just fumbling around like this, the person outside came back. It was the two familiar faces, Hassan Bakhsh and his companion guarding the door, who hid in the hiding spot that had been observed in advance and entered the management office.
There was no conversation between the two, they just wrote their respective documents familiarly. This is a record that must be kept after each tax recovery. If some flaws are found in it, the high-ranking officials above will not throw themselves into prison, but will also claim that their property is confiscated, but in fact they are lining their own pockets.
Hassan's companion's work was relatively simple, and he finished it in a short time. He picked up the treasure's pipe and tobacco bag and walked outside the management office, leaving the fat tax collector alone with his head buried in writing paperwork.
After setting up a simple soundproof barrier, Lin walked out of his hiding place. Seeing that the fat man didn't respond, Lin had to cough as a reminder.
The fat man was frightened by the sudden noise and jumped up, looking around in panic. But when he saw a certain magician appearing behind him, he calmed down. But he also said with a bitter smile: "Your Excellency, you really shouldn't have come. Listen to my advice and leave as soon as possible on the airship."
A small bag of money was placed on the corner of the table, in a position that required Hassan to take a few steps forward, but where someone could reach out and retrieve it. Lin said: "The airship is still imperfect and needs to be modified before it can safely get back on the road. So it's not that I don't want to leave, it's just that I can't leave. So I want to know what I'm facing. Where does the resistance come from?”
"That legendary weapon, Hakakiri, is yours, right." Hassan asked a seemingly unrelated question.
In this regard, Lin has nothing to hide. He nodded directly and said: "It is with me for the time being. So it should be considered mine, right?"
"That's the problem." Hassan said quite vaguely. In fact, someone could guess these things.
Ever since he knew that something bad had happened since he handed over Hakori last time, Lin knew that he would be targeted. But it's unclear how deep the water is here and how extensive the involvement is. And this is related to the strength of your counterattack and how hard you should use it. Zilang Literature
For those nobles, although there were many casualties, I heard that the true heirs of the nobles were not harmed. In other words, in this matter, for the nobles, at best, they lost face and lost some strength, but it was not as serious as killing father and son, and having an unending blood feud.
Staring directly at that bastard family and killing them all was one of the options, but someone didn't want to do that. In other words, I don't want to do anything that the airship can't repair. Both parties are still testing the situation, and there will be no room for change.
What Lin wanted to know was whether the family of Viscount Nia could show such energy; or whether other nobles were involved. So he simply asked, "Who's there?"
"All of them," Hassan replied in simpler terms.
Hearing such an answer, Lin's eyes almost bulged out, and he questioned: "Is it really everything?"
Hassan nodded helplessly.
Only then did someone feel like he had stung a hornet's nest. He clasped his forehead and sighed, "That's all."
"That sword is too dangerous for them." Hassan talked about a very real problem.
Lin probably figured it out at this time. A sword that can pry into the secrets of the heart and declare it loudly and unscrupulously. Who among those nobles who don't have a clean butt will not be afraid of it. So they only thought of seizing this weapon, maybe by sealing it, maybe by destroying it, or maybe by being forced to hand it over to a more powerful noble for safekeeping.
But they didn't seem to have thought about it, could Hakakiri be sealed? Can it be destroyed? And is its owner something they can deal with? Or do you think those with goals are really just a group of barbarians? Perhaps it was due to various miscalculations that the nobles, who only saw the dangers of Hakiri, took it for granted that they would use such a solution. Force the holder to come forward and hand over the extremely threatening sword.
However, having all the nobles in Abadan City as opponents made Lin calm down. He looked at the fat man with a bitter look in front of him, and at the same time noticed that under environmental monitoring, the person outside was preparing to walk in. Lin smiled and said: "Your Excellency has given me a lot of help. I think asking for more information would be a bit too much. -" Pushing the small purse forward, "-This is something that someone accidentally left behind, I think all you need to remember is that you have not met me and this conversation did not exist."
With a bow, Lin disappeared. At the same time, Hassan's companion opened the door and walked in.
Seeing a large living person suddenly disappear from before his eyes, and it was not any kind of teleportation magic that he knew, Hassan suddenly felt that the nobles made a mistake in choosing such an opponent. Originally, I was still worried about how the other party could leave quietly from the management office with only one portal without alerting his companions. It seems that the worry was in vain.
Feeling that the attitude of the fat man in front of him was very different from usual, Hassan's friend asked: "What's going on? Is there any discrepancy in the account?"
"It's okay, I just remembered that I haven't eaten your wife's fish soup for a long time."
"Then, do you want to come and eat?"
"Let's leave early today. I'm going to buy a big fresh fish, and then my wife and I will go to your house to disturb you."
"Yes." The unsmiling companion just nodded, intending to complete the work on hand as soon as possible.
Hassan looked at the small money bag on the table. Although my desk is fairly neat, there are a lot of things piled up on it. The little money bag is on top, it's not eye-catching at all. He couldn't help but remind him of the magician who put down the money bag. He just hoped that what happened next would not cause too much turmoil. Otherwise, it would be a sin to help the magician himself.
Lin, who returned to the hotel, of course told the information he had obtained. Uzov, who also came back, also said similar things, but the difference was that he did not have clear information that he would make enemies of all the nobles in Abadan City. But looking at someone's confident appearance, Totokani, who was most afraid of trouble, asked: "Sir, do you have a peaceful solution?"
Listening to the goblin's emphasis on a 'peaceful' solution, Lin felt amused. But he still said seriously: "Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything too drastic. But I have thought of a way to solve this problem. Of course, I need everyone's help."
Some people asked what they wanted to help, and some asked what the solution was. Everyone was talking so much that Lin didn't know who to answer.
In the end, the Lich couldn't stand the noisy situation. After an eternal imprisonment, everyone fell silent, including the man who was supposed to answer...
We had no choice but to release the restraints. Fortunately, no one dared to continue making noise.
Someone thought for a while and then said with a smile: "If there are only one or two enemies, it may be more difficult. But if the opponents are a group of people, then the best way to deal with the mob is to scare them. So I want to ask everyone The thing is to confirm which people are nobles with status. Hey, don’t look at me with that kind of suspicion or gloating eyes, I said that if you don’t go on a killing spree, you won’t go on a killing spree.”
