Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 483: Prison Robbery 3
Although he spent many days in Lulian City, Zhang Cheng spent most of his time in the library, so to be honest, he only knew a little about the city itself, far from being familiar with it.The same goes for Alicia.

Even though Lulian City is only a small city (by the standards of people on Earth), there are no tourist maps these days.So it took Zhang Cheng a lot of time to find this grocery store.

It was introduced by Worm, the grocer whose owner was the "best informed" man in town.You can get almost all the news you want to know from him.Of course it is possible to pay some gold coins.

Although I don't completely trust Worm, there are reasons to think that his recommendation this time is not made out of nothing.

Although Zhang Cheng was ignorant of intelligence gathering, he had a basic idea anyway.So after he entered the door, he took a look at the situation of the entire store... After reading it, he knew that the owner might not be the one who runs the grocery store wholeheartedly.

Ma Dan, the goods on this shelf look dazzling, but in fact they are too far away from life.

No matter what Zhang Cheng said, he came from the earth, at least he knew what the small shops near the residential areas needed to sell: daily household appliances.This store is obviously abnormal, it looks like a grocery store, and it sells goods that are not used in daily life.

For example, saddle harness, large lamp or something.It looks very attractive to put it there, but in fact, ordinary residents hardly have this kind of demand, and customers who have this kind of demand generally choose professional stores.

After looking around for a while, you can tell that this store is really just putting on a posture and putting on a disguise.It's a cover to sell stuff that almost nobody buys - so you can focus on your real business.

The shop owner is a shriveled-looking old man, about 60 years old.He seemed to be sitting on the counter without moving his position, but in fact he secretly watched every move of the couple: the man was dressed like a rich man, and the suit was expensive, at least three gold coins or more .Obviously not strong, but with a sword to put on airs.This woman was dressed like a peasant woman, but her demeanor was completely devoid of the vulgar taste of a peasant girl.

Based on his many years of experience, it is initially judged that this is a rich man with his mistress - disguised.It's just that the level of camouflage is so bad that it can be seen through at a glance.

The two walked around the store and returned to the counter.

"Is there anything you two need?" the owner asked.

"I heard people say that useful information can be found here, and I want to know something." Zhang Cheng said.

"You can get any news here—but it's not free. Of course, there are free ones... Let's see what news you have."

"I want to ask, Baron Nomudan... How is the former baron?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"The message is free," replied the shopkeeper. "He was arrested by the lord here, Earl Gellert of Lulian City. The reason is... well, the reason is not important, you should all understand. He is now in prison."

"Why?" Zhang Cheng was a little curious.

"1 gold coin." The old man pointed out a finger, and the next moment, a round gold coin flew into the air and fell into his hand.

"There may be three direct reasons. First, he wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate him because of old grievances. Second, he robbed the wealth brought by the other party. Third, he used this to create public opinion and affect his future," the old man said. "One of the three or a combination of the three. As for the indirect reasons, there are more. I can list ten, but I guess you don't want to hear it. It's not worth the money."

"What does it mean to create public opinion to affect his future?" It was Alicia who spoke this time, and she obviously didn't understand either.

The old man popped out three fingers.Zhang Cheng put his hand into his pocket, threw the three gold coins on the counter, and the old man put them away.

"The baron gave up his lands because of the oracle," replied the old man. "The church is supposed to make amends. A new territory, a position in the church, or whatever. But if his reputation is damaged, then there is no reparation."

"On the church side... the Archbishop recognizes it so much?" Alicia asked.Last time, they just did the archbishop a favor.It wasn't anyone's fault that he didn't win Connebar in the end.At least Alicia felt that the archbishop owed their family a favor.

This is why the baron had to choose to help the archbishop at that time.

"Haha..." The old man stretched out his palm and shook Zhang Cheng back and forth ten times.Zhang Cheng took out fifty gold coins and put them on the table, which made Alicia feel a little dazzled.

"The archbishop is dead." The old man said after collecting the gold coins. "But even if he lives, he will probably recognize it."

"Impossible!" Alicia said.She remembered very clearly that the archbishop had left safely.There is no reason to die! "How did he die?"

The old man made a new gesture, and Zhang Cheng paid again.Zhang Cheng now finds that this old man who deals in information is even better than him, a planeswalker.Although the planeswalker is a business without capital, he still needs to run errands between the dream world and the material world, and this old man only needs to sit and talk.

"Killed by an undead creature," said the old man. "My channel is very reliable, because a pastor in the church revealed the truth. Everything was pre-booked... probably because the archbishop has limited resources, he has no way to compensate the baron, so he simply wants to use this method to solve the problem But the archbishop was killed by an undead creature halfway. This information has been confirmed by the oracle of the Supreme Father, and now the archbishop of Lulian City is temporarily vacant."

Alicia gritted her teeth and did not make a sound.Now she knows why.

In other words, their family was abandoned.I thought it was a personal grudge against Earl Gellert of Lulian City...

"In Lulian City, how is Earl Gellert's troops distributed?" Zhang Cheng asked, throwing out a gold coin at the same time.

The old man put away the money, picked up the paper and pen, and drew a mock sketch on the paper.It is clear at a glance that people can understand the deployment of troops in Lulian City.The earl's troops in the city were stationed at three points - forming a rough triangle with the prison.It also means that if the prison is attacked, it will be very difficult for the attackers to retreat after the alarm is raised.

If you want to retreat, you must be fast enough, so fast that the guards have no time to sound the alarm, or simply push all the way to kill whoever you see.

"Is there no specific list of personnel?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"One hundred, two days, I can get the deployment of troops within a week, but I can't guarantee temporary changes." The old man said.

He was totally interested.These two, and this man in particular, spent money with poise, as if they thought gold coins were superfluous.

"I want to know the terrain in the prison." Zhang Cheng said. "Go in and see for yourself."

"200 gold coins, one day of preparation time." The old man replied.He was obviously talking to Zhang Cheng, but his eyes stayed on Alicia, and he didn't leave for a long time. "Come here at this time tomorrow, and I can let you pretend to be a delivery worker and deliver things in. Then you can look inside with your own eyes."

"Deal." Zhang Cheng quickly and frankly replied.

After paying, the two turned and left.Alicia suddenly whispered to Zhang Cheng. "You paid five or six hundred gold coins just now."

"Ah, almost." Zhang Cheng replied.Probably about one-tenth of his current property.But the planeswalker doesn't need to worry about money at all, after all, going back and forth between the dream world and the material world is just a matter of effort.

"I may not be able to afford it," said the young knight.

"Ah, that..." Zhang Cheng actually wanted to say that there is no need to pay it back, but he knew it was inappropriate to say so. "Can you teach me a little swordsmanship, I want to learn knight skills."

"Knight skills are not learned..." Alicia's voice was interrupted by the old man's voice behind her.

"By the way, young man, I have something for you."

Zhang Cheng was a little puzzled, and walked back to the counter, but Alicia didn't follow.

"Young man, I can understand you." The old man took out something casually, put it in Zhang Cheng's hand, and said. "But I assure you, going against Earl Gellert is not a good choice."

"What is this?" Zhang Cheng didn't speak, but looked at the gift given by the old man.It was a little metal bell with wonderful patterns on it.Seems to be some kind of animal symbol or something.It looks a bit worn out due to the amount of use.

"You can understand it as a letter of introduction." The old man said. "There is an underground passage in the lower city... under the control of a group of professional smugglers. If you are willing to pay, then you can leave the city through this passage."

"Oh?" Zhang Cheng looked at the bell over and over again.

"Those smugglers are not good people, and they can't even be called trustworthy businessmen, but if there is no other choice, that's the way." The old man's eyes widened a little.

"The captain in charge of the barracks is called Keshaqi, a fierce and brutal person. He has participated in many wars with alien races, and his subordinates have killed countless people. He once received God's blessing for a certain reason, and he can kill people by killing people. Come to accumulate strength. If it weren’t for the era of turmoil, he wouldn’t even come back to the human side... If there is turmoil in the prison, others dare not tell, but Shaqi will reinforce here as soon as possible.”

"How strong is this Kesaki?"

"It has reached the peak of the hero rank, and it is said that it is only one step away from the legend." The old man said. "Very powerful. Also tell you, do you have the psychological expectation of losing both money and money?"

"Losing people and wealth?" Zhang Cheng was puzzled. "What kind of loss of people and wealth?"

"Don't think that the nobles are all good people." The old man Chunchun advised. "Alesia, the baron's daughter... don't think that the promises she made to you are valid! They will break their promises, and they will break their promises for a fair reason. No matter what she promises to you, as long as the baron doesn't allow it, her promise is Invalid. This is especially true for things like marriage. The worst thing is that you can’t appeal even if you suffer a loss. Because anyone will think that it’s your own fault.”

"Ah..." Zhang Cheng looked back at Alicia outside.Sure enough, I was misunderstood.Hey, it can only be said that Planeswalkers are too indifferent to the concept of money, which is not a good thing. "They say you're very professional."

"I'm very professional, so this is just advice from someone who has experienced it, not a fee-based news transaction." The old man said. "You have money, and you want to become a nobleman, so marrying a nobleman's daughter is indeed a shortcut. However, taking advantage of others' dangers can easily lead to backlash, and those noblemen are much better than you at playing this kind of trick..."

"Old man, I'm afraid you have misunderstood." Zhang Cheng said.

"Hey," the old man sighed, watching the two leave through the gate.After Zhang Cheng walked for a few minutes, he quietly pulled a rope beside him.

Soon, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy came in from the door and ran all the way to the counter.

"Go and tell the count," the old man sighed. "Alesia has appeared, just as the baron expected. They will attack the prison in the near future and try to take the baron away. If they want to take the opportunity to do something," he said to the young man in front of him. "This jailbreak is the best opportunity. By the way, tell the group of smugglers and make an appointment, and I will talk to their leader."

"What are you talking about with their leader? Their leader may not come if there is no hint."

"Talk about an important deal. I'll be in charge of delivering the goods to your door, and he'll be in charge of the actual operations. I'll split the spoils [-]-[-]! Tell them it's a real fat sheep, and it's worth at least [-] gold coins!"

The messenger left from the door, and the old man finally showed a rare smile in his eyes.This time, I not only satisfied the needs of the earl, but also earned a lot of money for myself... Hehe, so fame is really important.

Some people always have a wonderful illusion that the ruler of the day and the world of the night are two different things.I feel that I can quietly get what I want through the secrets of the underground world.They don't understand at all that although there are indeed underground worlds that cannot be dealt with by the official rulers, in more cases, the so-called underground worlds are actually created by the rulers' deliberate connivance, in order to help them complete some superficially difficult tasks. processing work.They can be thrown away when they are really useless, and sometimes you can even gain support from ignorant people by suppressing them.

Then these ignorant people will become fat sheep in the literal sense.

But this young man just now... is really overweight.This idea made the old shopkeeper couldn't help showing a satisfied smile.Not rich, but very rich.No wonder you want to participate in this investment.It is indeed worth marrying a baron's daughter.

He believed in his own vision, and through cleverly releasing kindness, when the situation reached irreparable, he would definitely think of the things the old man mentioned.There is a high probability that they will find those smugglers and want to leave...

Then...hehe.

What a fat sheep!
