Release that Witch

Grey Fort Wangdu, the inner city garden mansion.

Today is the scheduled information exchange day, Tassa is sitting on a soft chair in the living room, waiting for the arrival of pigeons and hats troupe members. After the fall, the closing time of the inner gate was advanced to the evening, and the secret gathering had to be changed to the afternoon.

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

He wore a blue velvet open-collar jacket, light gray leggings and moccasin boots, and a white bow tie at the neck, taking off a noble dress. After the ceremony, he handed over the "Kingdom of the Kingdom", which was sandwiched under His Majesty, to Tassa. The latter took the book and glanced at him with interest. "Reading?"

"Yes," Hill nodded, then hesitated. "You don't teach me some fighting skills... or assassination skills?"

"Why?"

"When the evil broke out, you said that I would train me to be a qualified intelligence officer," he scratched his head. "But so far, you have only given me some bizarre books to read."

"You mean "The History of Customs"?" Tassa gave himself a glass of wine and threw two ice cubes. "This is not a bizarre book. It records the origins, traditions, and family emblems of the nobility throughout the kingdom." As a collector of intelligence, it is necessary to have a lot of knowledge before you can roughly determine whether there is any value from the news. As for swordsmanship and assassination?" He smiled. "I didn't intend to let you lurk into it." An organization or deep inside the enemy to probe the news, that is dangerous and time-consuming and laborious, it is better to spend more money to buy the insider directly."

"But not everyone can be bought," Hill insisted.

"And those organizations that don't leak water are also difficult to put into their eyes. It's not a dozen or twenty years of effort, and it's unlikely to sneak into it." Tassa shook the cup and drank the ice wine. "Qualified intelligence personnel only Use two things to do: identify the message and hide itself. The books I give you are the basis for distinguishing the message. As for the second point... As a member of the Acrobatic Troupe, you should be more experienced than me. For example, you are today This dress is very good."

"..." Just as Hill Fox looked down and thought about the meaning of the words, the clowns and others also rushed to this remote house.

"Adults, everyone is here."

"If that's the case, then let's get started," Tassa put down the wine glass and spread out the notebook. "Who is coming first?"

"I will talk about it first, adults." The first burly rock mountain was the first one. "The camp on the outskirts of Wangdu East District has also entered a group of new people."

The news made the brow's brow jump slightly. I didn't expect the first information I heard was not good news. Since the loss of the Knights of the Kings, the barracks set up in the suburbs have become the station of the militia. Rats, fugitives and criminals recruited by Tiefko will be inserted into Dongying before the expedition. More than a month ago, a group of more than a thousand militiamen had just been sent to the west. Now, there are new people added?

"how many?"

"There are only two or three hundred people at present, most of them seem to come from the Northland... In addition to this, there are some rats of the bloodsail club, but compared to the first two, there are not many rats willing to go."

"Closely monitor their movements. Every time you add more than 200 people to the camp, you must report it to me," Tassa said.

"Yes, adults."

These people have only one use, that is, after taking the pills, they are used as consumables. Now the Queen of the Waters is north, there is no resistance in the south, and Tefco will undoubtedly continue to attack the territory of His Royal Highness. He must pass this news back to Bianbu Town as soon as possible.

"The next clown brings you confidential information, or talk about drinking," the clown said in an exaggerated tone. "I can't verify the truth of this message, but listen to the group of businessmen who have nose and face. They said it was true. They said that the black sailing team of Garcia Wimbledon appeared in the kingdom of the winter and launched an attack on the church. The siege of the Wolf City was also disintegrated. They are also preparing to kneel. During the period before the winter, some scarce goods were sold in the past."

The clear water queen went to Yongdong? Tassa was a little surprised, but it didn't matter whether the news was true or not. She chose to leave the Grey Fort in the north, which means she has given up the right to compete for the throne. "What about this?"

"Well, I know this is a bit far from the Grey Fort," he vomited his tongue. "I will ask for more useful information next time."

"Cough," Hill coughed twice. "Adult, there are new clues to your assignment. I have a new workshop in the inner city, and I have recruited a lot of mud craftsmen. I recently acquired a large number of saltpeter. They were all transported there. But the workshop was heavily guarded, and my people could not learn more about the use of saltpeter."

“Hey?” Tassa’s spirit rose. “Do they really transport the saltpeter into the workshop?”

"It's true," Hill nodded. "I also personally stalked a carriage."

This is a very valuable piece of information. He stayed with His Royal Highness Roland. He naturally knows that the invincible gunpowder is an alchemy item, and its main component is saltpeter. Since the acquisition of the saltpeter in the gas field around Wangdu, he has noticed this and arranged Hill Fox to investigate the whereabouts and use of the goods.

Now that the other party has transferred the saltpeter from the Alchemy Association to the workshop, the intention has been changed from the alchemy test to the workshop production, which means that they have mastered the formula of gunpowder. The priority of this intelligence is even higher than that of the new soldiers in the eastern suburbs.

“Good job,” Tassa praised.

......

After the secret talks, the people left the mansion in batches.

Hill suddenly asked before leaving. "Adult, when we did this, can I really push Tiefko to the throne?"

"Of course," the guard said with a smile. "You haven't seen the letter from His Royal Highness through the squadron? His throne is already faltering."

In the evening, returning to the underground trumpeter pub, Tassa saw an unexpected acquaintance: Sean.

Like himself, he is also the guardian of His Royal Highness.

When I walked into the second floor room, the two of them chilled for a moment, and Tassa took the curtain and asked in a low voice. "How do you know that I am here?"

"His Royal High gave me a token, let me go to Ms. Margaret, she knows where you are." Sean swayed a crystal clear red gem.

"He has a new assignment?"

"Not a task, a gift," Sean smiled and walked to the window, uncovering the curtain and blowing a whistle. I saw three taupe birds flying into the room and falling on the table and yelling at him. After feeding each bird some grain, they stopped.

Tassa was the first to see such a spiritual bird, "This is..."

"The messenger trained by the witch." Sean stroked the neck of the gray bird and explained, "Unlike the pigeons, they can travel to and from the two places without having to take them away and fly back home. You only use the right When the birds say a specific password, they will send the message to their Highness. If you are successful, you only need to wait a day to receive your reply from your Highness."
