Secret: I, the hermit, want to make progress too much

Chapter 90 Backlund Version Factory Fire

"Feneport businessman, suspected Extraordinary bodyguard, Earth Church."

Roy did not take the lead in hiring a maid, but wrote a letter in his dusty home.

A letter to Mr. Hyde.

"Mr. Hyde, I have arrived in Backlund and am currently living on Rose Street in the south area of ​​Backlund Bridge."

"Mr. Gao Wen doesn't know the news that I'm alive yet. Please convey it to Becky on your behalf. In addition, let him help take care of the orphanage. I will give you a certain reward."

"In addition, I have detected that there seem to be some Beyonders among the merchants of the Kingdom of Feneport. I plan to follow their lines and try to make contact..."

Roy wrote his idea to Hyde Carson.

Then he put the letter into the letter and recited the incantation.

After a while, a figure emerged from the twisted space. The owl opened its mouth and spewed spirituality, but found...

"No need to fight?"

"Well, help deliver a letter."

"..."

She glanced at Roy, then grabbed the letter and left.

Roy leaned back on the cleaned chair, then looked around and sighed softly.

It's time to find a maid.

Otherwise, he would not be able to clean up such a big family by himself.

but.

money!

I only have one hundred and seventeen gold pounds, and now I have less than 150 left. I don’t know how to make money next...

He thought for a moment, set up the ceremony, and then chanted the incantation.

"A spirit that wanders in nothingness."

"Friendly creatures that can communicate."

"A weak creature that can help absorb dust and clean quickly."

After three spells.

A strange-looking insect creature appeared, and under Roy's expectant gaze, it began to roll rapidly.

After rolling around, the dust on the ground was immediately swept away.

Then, the dust is gathered into a ball by it.

Roy took a broom and dustpan and followed behind to clean up.

In just half an hour, the room was mostly cleaned.

He nodded in satisfaction.

The spiritual creature was sent back to the spiritual world by him.

Putting aside the other party's strange cleaning methods, Roy was generally quite satisfied. If he hired someone else to clean such a house...

The commission alone is quite a lot.

"Knowledge is wealth!"

He secretly sighed.

The convenience of ritual magic can not only be used to pay off debts, but also can force young creatures to do things for you that you don't want to do.

Including but not limited to cleaning.

You can also let them copy letters, help carry things, etc.

but.

You have to take care of things like clothes and sheets yourself.

Roy made the bed——

The sheets and quilts were all new ones he bought in the afternoon.

Every move costs a fortune.

He was making the bed alone when a figure suddenly distorted the space, followed immediately by the Owl Lady, who flapped her wings and appeared.

The next moment, she stayed on the desk and put down the letter.

"Congratulations on moving, but it's a pity that you didn't cook, and I can't eat either."

"..."

Roy was startled, and then was silent for a moment, "Although I don't know where the custom is, thank you anyway."

"I don't know. I think it's from Intis, but maybe it's from Russell or someone else."

Nina said, "So as per your custom, I will sit here with you for a while."

She ruffled her feathers and said lazily: "I've forgotten too many things, but maybe that's a good thing, well, that's what Mr. Azik said."

"You have a good relationship with Mr. Azik?"

"He's easy going."

Nina nodded and replied, "It's not the same as I imagined."

Roy said: "Are they okay?"

"You mean the old wizard and the big guy?"

Nina thought for a while and said, "It's okay, but the old wizard hasn't found the main material yet, but he is a big guy. Although he has a lot of injuries, he is about to be promoted."

Warriors belong on the battlefield.

Becky dared to risk death to go to the arena, and it goes without saying that he was promoted quickly, but I don't know how well he practiced the fighting training method he brought to him.

Roy continued to read the letter.

The letter says.

"We came into contact with a 'Master of Magic' here. She was responsible for delivering some mysterious news to us and helping to purchase materials..."

Forsi?
Miss Xianyu worked hard.

so good!
I didn't let her be "No. 1" in vain, this was the first number.

Roy smiled and continued looking down.

"I bought an auxiliary material for promotion to Scroll Master, but I have no clue about the rest of the materials."

"Maybe my destiny is not in Backlund."

Mr. Hyde is very depressed.

But this is normal.

Starting from Sequence 6, extraordinary materials have become precious. Not only do they cost a lot, but they also require a very special way to purchase them.

For example, the characteristics of Klein's Sequence 6 main material, the human skin shadow.

The market price was [-], but he bought it for [-], which was a full premium of [-] gold pounds.

Such situations are common.

of course.

Mr. Hyde must be financially prepared, but there is no way to do so. Roy would like to search for it on his behalf, but the Sequence 6 potion formula generally costs two thousand gold pounds.

The total of all his property is only one-twentieth of it.

He continued to watch.

At the end of the letter, Hyde said that he didn't pay much attention to the Fenebaud businessmen, so he couldn't help.

At the end he included the address.

39 Minsk Street, Jorwood District.

A very familiar place.

Roy put away the letter.

He looked at Nina, his heart moved, and said: "Nina, do you know the magic potion formula of the Scroll Master?"

The owl lady turned her head back and forth.

Not too surprised.

but.

The good news is not without it.

At least now that I have taken advantage of the Dawn of Elements line, I don't have to worry about not being able to get the magic potion formula.

Even the main materials have to be obtained from other places.

I hope there is one in Silver City.

Roy thought.

You can ask Little Sun first. If Little Sun says it is available but cannot get it, then go through Elder Lovia.

There are people on both sides, so there is nothing to fear.

This is the money...

Make money!

Make money hard!

These Feneport merchants are very rich.

Roy asked Tilly to help collect information in order to better understand the current situation of Feneport merchants in Backlund.

As for Klein's original way of making money, such as investing in bicycles, it was not impossible, but the money came in too slowly after all.

"Today's performance doesn't seem to be very effective."

"Maybe because they are ordinary people."

"If there are Extraordinaries among the people in Feneport, and I successfully portray the image of a powerful wizard in front of them, I may be able to achieve a high performance effect."

and so.

Whether for show or gold pounds, it was necessary for him to contact the Feneport grain merchants.

These people made a lot of money by repealing the Corn Laws, but they also offended a group of very powerful people——

The conservative nobles of Loen.

Duke Negan, who is always assassinated, is the leader of the conservatives.

……

The next day.

Roy got up in the morning and was about to go out for breakfast. When he opened the door, he saw Tilly sneaking out from the side and almost received a cane.

"Why don't you knock on the door?"

"You were probably still sleeping, so I didn't dare knock."

Tilly sneered.

"Don't mess around next time, I'm afraid I'll beat you to death."

Roy said calmly, "Did you find anything?"

"Yes sir, I asked the Duggan brothers...the two stupid guys you taught them a lesson."

"I asked them to find out about the more powerful thieves on Gard Street, and they got some information."

"Go in and talk."

Roy opened the door.

Tilly followed, looked around carefully, and then couldn't help but said: "Sir, this maid is really not doing her job well. Many places are not clean enough."

"As long as you can live in it."

Roy smiled lightly.

He closed the door, went to the living room and motioned for Tilly to sit down, and poured her a glass of water.

Tilly took a sip and then told her what she had learned.

"The merchants in Feneport are mainly engaged in food. It is said that they are facing quite a problem now."

"From the nobility?"

Roy said with a smile.

Tilly was stunned and said, "How do you know?"

"Go on."

Roy smiled without saying a word.

Tilly nodded respectfully, and then said to Roy: "There have been fires in their granaries recently. They suspect that it is caused by people sent by the conservative nobles. They have recently increased patrols, but to no avail."

"Is it true that the granary was burned down?"

Roy's first reaction was that "the fire dragon burned the warehouse", and that Samsung's "factory was on fire".

Seeing that Tilly was confused and confused, he said: "Maybe in order to raise the price of their own grain, they deliberately burned part of it to make the price rise in a small area."

"Can it still be like this?"

Tilly was shocked.

Roy smiled and said: "Feneport is the main area of ​​the Church of the Earth. There is a lot of food there. The main food sold to Loen is Fenebor food."

"I don't know, but I probably understand what you mean."

Tilly said, "If there is a pile of money to steal, then there is no need to rob it, but if there is only one person to steal, then we thieves may have to fight or agree on a plan to share the stolen goods."

Roy was noncommittal and asked with a smile: "What else did you find out?" "It is rumored that a conservative family named Luyere is targeting them."

Tilly said.

Roy narrowed his eyes.

Luyere?

never heard of that.

He thought for a while and said, "Have you heard anything about the people from the Feneport Grain Merchant Alliance?"

"I only found out that the more important person's name is 'Urbano Mohan'."

Tilly replied.

Urbano Mohan.

Roy remembered the name and planned to go back to Ms. Xiqiong to find out.

Perhaps if necessary, you can also "believe" in the Mother Earth.

He has read all Frank's knowledge and has a certain understanding of the situation of the Mother Earth Church——

If that knowledge hadn't been twisted by Frank.

Roy was slanderous.

He thought for a moment and took out a 5 soli note.

"Well done, here's an extra for you."

"I saved more than a pound..."

Tilly was a little surprised, and she didn't dare to take it. She honestly revealed the fact that she had hidden part of it——

Even if the other party has previously approved such behavior.

Roy smiled: "This is your ability, one code is the same."

He gave the money to the other party.

"You are very smart and very capable. You know that you can't rely on yourself in this kind of thing. Keep up the good work."

"Yes, I understand your concerns. In fact, when I went back to find Dagan and Ethan, I understood why you didn't dare to use me."

Tilly said sincerely, "In order to survive, we at the bottom have some habits that are really difficult to win people's trust. I will use time to prove it."

"If one day you can get your hands on a potion recipe - this is where the mystery comes from."

Roy said sternly.

He is not simply painting a pie.

Tilly's ability to gather information was far beyond his imagination.

Originally, his expectation was that the other party had collected identity information about the Feneport businessman, and that might be the limit.

result.

It only took the other party one day to collect the names of important business people, and also collected some information that was unknown but might be important.

Efficiency and ability are there.

Such subordinates are indeed valuable to cultivate.

Tilly bowed her head respectfully.

"I will work hard."

"Be careful, the bodyguards of those businessmen may be the same type of people."

Roy instructed.

Tilly said: "I only asked them to collect information from the thieves and did not come forward directly."

"No, the mysterious ability is far beyond your imagination, just like I was able to hide my body that day and just wait for you to come back."

Roy smiled lightly and said, "I didn't guess your intention, but I knew you would come back there."

Tilly was stunned for a moment, then said: "Is this the potion ability you mentioned?"

"No, this is knowledge, the knowledge of divination, and many people know it."

Roy replied.

Tilly's expression was startled, and then she nodded seriously.

"I'll be more careful."

"Well, take care of the tail and don't let anyone find out you're spying on them."

……

In the afternoon, Roy thought about it for a long time and finally decided——

The nobles' affairs are settled by the nobles.

He decided to ask Miss Justice for help.

Just right.

Roy had shown face at a Tarot meeting before, so the other party would definitely give him face.

should?

Roy returned to the room, arranged the ceremony, and then chanted the honorary name.

"Dear Mr. Fool, I hope to talk to Miss Justice alone."

After a few seconds, a crimson light enveloped him.

The next moment, Roy arrived at the giant bronze hall, and Miss Justice was sitting directly opposite.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Hermit."

Justice said with a smile.

Roy saluted: "Good afternoon, Miss Justice, I would like to ask if you know anything about the Luyere family?"

Zhengyi was stunned for a moment, unable to maintain the status of the audience.

"How do you know I'm a noble?"

Is it hard to guess?
Klein secretly thought from above.

In the last tarot meeting, you were the most anxious when it came to Backlund, and you didn’t know much about the lower class. Who else could it be besides the nobles?
The facts were just as Klein thought.

Roy simply revealed his analysis and silenced Miss Audrey.

After half a minute, she said: "The Luyere family..."

"Ok?"

"They're special."

Audrey said, "They own fiefdoms and grain industries, but few people know that in recent years they have been secretly actively planning industries such as wineries."

It turned out to be like this...

Roy's eyes lit up.

Liquor industry!

Yes.

The so-called burning of warehouses was most likely done by Urbano himself. The so-called merchant alliance was probably also to raise the price of grain supplied to the winery.

but.

Will the Luyere family be willing to suffer?

not necessarily.

"Why do you ask that?"

"I have a friend who received a commission to investigate the burning of the Feneport merchant's warehouse and asked me for my opinion. I'm quite curious about the truth here."

Roy said simply.

Klein changed his posture slightly——

He couldn't hold back.

The friend you are talking about must be yourself, right?

"Huh? If the food is burned, someone must want them to be damaged."

Audrey expressed her opinion.

"not necessarily."

Roy smiled and said, "For example, the winery of the Luyere family originally had [-] tons of grain stored in the South District. The price must not be high, but half of it was burned down due to an accident?"

"That too..."

Audrey said and suddenly paused.

She looked at Roy in surprise and said, "Mr. Hermit, did the grain merchant burn the grain himself?"

"Maybe it wasn't burned, but the attitude was shown."

Roy smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Justice, I owe you one."

"No, even though you just thought briefly last time, it helped us a lot. Let's just say we offset it."

Audrey said.

"Okay, Miss Justice, thank you for your help."

Roy then saluted the Fool again, "Thank you, respected Mr. Fool!"

"Just a little thing."

The Fool waved his hand, and then the gray fog dispersed.

They come back to reality.

Roy raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

This is the value of information.

After learning about Luyere's situation, he quickly understood the reason.

Winery, food, money.

The motivation is clear.

The place where he can make money is not with the Feneport merchants, but with the Luyere family and his winery.

because……

At present, it is the Luyere family that is at a disadvantage.

If they were conservatives, then the conservatives would protect him and his industry.

If they were from the new party, people from the new party would also help him.

But they happened to be——

On the surface, the conservative party is secretly moving closer to the new party.

They are eating inside and outside, and it also involves the struggle between the conservative and new parties. Who dares to step aside and help them?
Urbano was also convinced of this.

and so.

That group of businessmen were probably targeting only the Luyere family and their winery. There might be some nobles behind the scenes who deliberately leaked the information.

The next day, Tilly came to visit again.

The information she collected further supported Roy's conjecture——

In addition to the merchants and the Luyere family, there is another force involved.

Werther party.

This is a gang in the South District that has been running Jingui Street.

"Is there a winery on Jingui Street?"

"Yes, Jingui Distillery."

Tilly replied.

Roy stood up, clubbed his cane and said, "Thank you for your hard work. There is no need to check later."

"no need?"

"Well, it would be dangerous to check further."

Roy smiled.

Tilly was surprised, but didn't ask further.

She understands.

Many thieves just took things they shouldn't have, so they were quietly erased. The news is actually the same as gold pounds and wallets.

It's best not to be curious about news you shouldn't know.

"After that, you just need to help me keep an eye on whether anything has happened to the Jingui Distillery and the Witte Party recently."

Roy said.

Tilly scratched her head.

She keenly felt that if Roy paid so much money, he would definitely get more compensation, but she couldn't figure it out...

How can Mr. Green benefit from such a pile of information?

They seem to have value, but they don't seem to have value.
