Release that Witch - Chapter 300

[Chapter 299 Information and Messenger]

The royal capital of Graycastle, a mansion with a garden in the inner city.

Today was the scheduled information exchange day, and Tasa sat on the soft chair in the living room, waiting for the arrival of the members of the “Pigeon and Top Hat” acrobatic troupe.

After autumn, the closing time of the inner city gate was advanced to the evening, and the secret meeting had to be held in the afternoon.

Hill Fox was always the first to arrive at the mansion.

He was wearing a blue velvet open collar jacket, light gray leggings and moccasin boots, and a white bow tie around his neck, looking like an aristocrat.

After saluting, he handed back the “History of Kingdom Customs” under his arm to Tasa, who took the book and glanced at him with great interest, “Read it?”

“Yes,” Hill nodded, Then he hesitated, “Don’t you teach me some sword fighting 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 Head, “But so far, you have only given me some weird books to read.”

“You mean “History of Customs”?” Tasa poured himself a glass of wine, and threw in two ice cubes, ” This is not a strange book. It records the origins, traditions, family emblems, and specialties of the nobles from all over the kingdom. As an information collector, you must first be well-informed before you can roughly judge whether there is any news from various places. Value. As for swordsmanship and assassination?” He smiled, “I didn’t intend for you to lurk into a certain organization or go deep into the enemy’s interior to find news, that would be dangerous and time-consuming. If you have this kind of effort, you might as well spend more Dian Jinlong directly bribes those who know.”

“But not everyone can be bribed,” Hill insisted.

“As for those watertight organizations, it’s also difficult to get into the eyes. It doesn’t take more than ten or twenty years to sneak into them.” Tasa shook his glass and took a sip of ice wine, “Qualified intelligence personnel can only You can do two things well: identify the message and hide yourself. The books I gave you are the basis for identifying the message. As for the second point… As a member of the acrobatic troupe, you should have more experience than me. For example, today you This outfit is very nice.”

“…” Just as Hill Fox lowered his head and pondered the meaning of these words, the clown and others rushed to this remote house one after another.

“My lord, everyone is here.”

“In that case, let’s start,” Tasa put down his wine glass, spread out his notepad and said, “Who will come first?”

“Let me talk first, my lord,” said the burliest Yan Shan was the first to speak, “A group of newcomers have moved into the camp on the outskirts of the capital’s eastern district.”

This news made the guard’s brows twitch slightly, and he didn’t expect that the first information he heard was not good news.

Since most of the Knights of the Royal Capital were lost, this barracks set up in the outskirts has become the garrison of the militia.

But all the rats, fugitives and criminals recruited by Timothy would be stuffed into the East Camp before going out.

And more than a month ago, a team of more than a thousand militiamen was just sent to the west, and now there are new people to replenish it?

“How many?”

“Currently there are only two to three hundred people, and most of them seem to be from the North… Besides, there are some mice from the Bloodsail Society, but compared to the first two times, there are not many mice willing to go. Already

.

” “Keep monitoring their movements, and report to me every time there are more than 200 people added to the camp.” Tasa ordered.

“Yes, my lord.”

These people have only one purpose, and that is to use them as consumables after taking the pills.

Now that the Queen of Clear Water is heading north, there is no resistance in the southern border. Timothy will undoubtedly continue to attack His Royal Highness Roland’s territory, and he must pass the news back to Border Town as soon as possible.

“The confidential information that the clown will bring you next, or rather, the chat after drinking,” the clown said in an exaggerated tone, “I can’t verify the authenticity of this news, but I heard that the group of businessmen said it with a nose and a face. , Let’s take it as true. They said that Garcia Wimbledon’s black sailing fleet appeared in the Kingdom of Eternal Winter and launched an attack on the church, which broke the siege of Wolfheart City. They also planned to take advantage of the During the period before winter, bring some scarce goods to sell.”

The queen of clear water actually went to Yongdong?

Tasa was a little surprised, but it doesn’t matter whether the news is true or not. She chose to go north and leave Graycastle, which means she has given up the right to fight for the throne. “That’s all?

” Graycastle is a little far away,” he stuck out his tongue, “next time I will ask for more useful information.”

“Ahem,” Hill coughed twice, “My lord, there are new clues to the mission you entrusted to me. Fei Ke built a new workshop in the inner city, and recruited a lot of masons, and the large quantity of saltpeter he bought recently was transported there. However, the surrounding area of the workshop is heavily guarded, and my people can’t learn more about the use of the saltpeter.”

“Oh?” Thasa cheered up, “Did they really transport the saltpeter into the workshop?”

“Indeed,” Hill nodded, “I even watched a carriage carrying goods myself.”

This is a very interesting one. Valuable information, after staying with His Royal Highness Roland for a long time, he naturally knows that the indestructible gunpowder is a kind of alchemy item, and its main ingredient is saltpeter.

Ever since the saltpeter in the nitrate factory around the capital was purchased in a big way, he had noticed this, and arranged for Hill Fox to find out the whereabouts and uses of the goods.

Now that the other party has transferred the saltpeter from the Alchemy Association to the workshop, the intention is very obvious – from the alchemy experiment to the workshop production, it means that they have mastered the formula of gunpowder.

The priority of this information is even higher than the new soldiers in the Eastern Suburb camp.

“Good job.” Thassa applauded.

…

After the secret conversation ended, everyone left the mansion in batches.

Before he left, Hill suddenly asked, “My lord, can we really push Timothy down from the throne by what we have done?

” A letter? His throne is already in shambles.” In the

evening, returning to the Underground Trumpeter Tavern, Tasa met an unexpected acquaintance: Sean.

Like himself, he is also the personal guard of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince.

walked into the guest room on the second floor, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while before Tasa closed the curtains and asked in a low voice, “How do you know I’m here?”

“His Highness gave me a token, let me I’ll go find Ms. Margery, she knows where you are.” Sean took out a crystal clear red gemstone and shook it.

“He has a new task?”

“It’s not a task, it’s a gift,” Xiao En walked to the window with a smile, opened a crack in the curtain, and whistled.

Three taupe birds flew into the room, landed on the table and cooed at him.

After feeding each bird some grains of wheat, they died down.

It was the first time Tasa saw such a spiritual bird, “This is…”

“A messenger trained by a witch.” Xiao En stroked the gray bird’s neck and explained, “Unlike carrier pigeons, they can You can go back and forth between the two places independently, without being taken away by people and then released back to the nest. You only need to say a specific password to the birds, and they will send the news to His Highness. If it goes well, you only need to wait for one day, that is, You can receive a reply from His Highness.”
