Infinite Bloodcore

,!

"Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group?" The Lord of Snow Bird Harbor looked surprised.

His first reaction was: "Has the secret of Sleeping Man's qualifications for the Holy Realm been exposed?"

The biggest gain from the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord's banquet with Tan Mo was that he fully realized Tan Mo's investigative capabilities.

Of course, as an investigator, Tanmo himself has very high authority and can use the power of the secret spy organization to conduct investigations. This undoubtedly magnified his own ability.

As for why Tanmo is able to use the secret espionage power here in Snowbird Port, it involves the factions of the secret espionage organization.

The city lord of Snow Bird Harbor is codenamed [Fan Shan]. He is not a native of the Empire, but a nobleman of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom. He was instigated by [Usurper] to rebel.

He, [Usurper], and Enzylando are all considered outsiders.

Tanmo is not.

He is a native of the Shengming Empire, has received long-term secret training, and is a member of the local faction.

Like Cyanobacteria, whose pseudonym is Henfa, he is also an outsider. Although he received training, the time was shorter, and he was a proper outsider.

[Golden Hand], who was framed by the Lord of Snowbird Port, was the secret spy of the local faction.

The empire's secret espionage organization arranged the [Golden Hand] next to an external faction like the Lord of Snowbird Harbor, with deep intentions.

But Jinshou died, not long after he submitted the report letter against the Lord of Snowbird Port.

This triggered the follow-up action of the Imperial Secret Intelligence Organization's "Dispatch of Investigators".

Tanmo itself has excellent investigative abilities. He can see through disguises and find the correct direction of investigation from complex surface clues.

In Snowbird Port, he mobilized the secret espionage forces of the local factions.

The combination of the two allowed him to investigate many secrets in a short period of time.

Not only are there secret spies from local factions here in Snowbird Port, there are even more on Fengsu Island.

The imperial secret agent code-named [Awakening] is the local faction. The castle he built on Fengsu Island is like a dark wedge, staring at the Ice Sculpture Island from afar.

"Can Tanmo investigate the matter of Sleeping Man?" The Lord of Snowbird Harbor asked himself this very early on.

The answer is yes.

Because Dadou, Big Man and others were not arrested by the Lord of Snowbird Port himself, but Su Xing and others were involved. The capture took place on the Magnetic Islands.

As a local, Su Xing and Tan Mo are truly his own people.

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor is superior to [Awakening] in terms of position. But in the end, he still brought the big man back with the help of [Awakening] and others.

Where is the awakened loyalty?

Let’s not talk about loyalty, but talk about closeness. Su Xing will definitely get closer to Tan Mo!

Therefore, the city lord of Snowbird Harbor had already made psychological assumptions about this.

He hoped to delay, try to cover up this major secret, and then handle the investigation quickly, trying to send Tan Mo away before he noticed.

Now, the Lord of Snow Bird Harbor suddenly heard Tan Mo mention the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group, and he immediately felt exposed.

But he didn't show anything, no anxiety at all.

The city lord stared at his wine glass. In just a few seconds, his mind was racing with thoughts and he thought about a lot.

Finally, he raised his eyes and looked at Tan Mo, who was sitting opposite.

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor said calmly: "The Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group is very important. I have invested a lot of resources and energy in them, with the purpose of investigating the arms dealer behind them."

"This is my most important source of credit. You want to share it..."

Having said this, the Lord of Snowbird Harbor shook his head slightly.

But he did not show a firm refusal. Instead, he calculated the interests and said: "If you decide to get involved, then what we discussed before will not count and we need to renegotiate."

Tanmo is silent.

In fact, he hasn't found out anything about the big man. There are actually speculations about the big man's bloodline over there at [Awakening], but Tan Mo is still out of reach.

The reason is simple, and it's a bit ironic to say.

That's because Tanmo's reputation for greed and bribery has spread too widely and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

Even for the local faction, Su Xing needs to establish a good relationship with Tanmo and confirm that he can survive this investigation before making further contact.

At this point, Tanmo could possibly touch the big man's secret.

The focus of Tanmo's investigation has not always been the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.

In his impression, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group were just representatives of the arms dealers, and they were lucky enough to get a big deal from the Battle of Eyes Island.

From the beginning to the end, all Tan Mo wanted was to seize this wealth from the Dragon Lion Mercenary Group.

Of course, if he investigated the big man's secret, he would never think so.

Between the sacred seeds and the wealth of the Double Eye Island, even a fool knows how to choose!

Tan Mo thought for a moment and deliberately slowed down his speech. He changed from his previous leisurely and calm expression to serious and solemn. He was trying his best to show his sincerity and show that what he said next was completely sincere: "There is news that you may not be aware of, Lord City Lord."

Tan Mo told Yan Wei's speculation - the wealth of Double Eye Island eventually fell into the hands of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.

"Is there such a thing?" The Lord of Snow Bird Harbor was surprised and sighed, "It seems that Yan Wei has hidden a lot of things from me."

In terms of position, Yan Wei is naturally much lower than the city lord.

But he is not affiliated with the Snowbird Port City Lord. In this regard, he has much less constraints than [Awakening]. Although Su Xing is a local faction, in terms of authority, it is subordinate to [Usurper] and is also controlled by the Lord of Snowbird Port.

Another key point is that Yan Wei is from the empire.

The Double Eye Island was originally the territory of the empire and was obtained by Hutong's expansion. Therefore, Yan Yi is the local faction among the imperial spies.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that the lord of Snow Bird Harbor was concealed by his eyes.

Tan Mo laughed: "After arriving here, I sent people to investigate. At present, it has been verified that the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group did indeed sell a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings after landing on the island and entering the port."

This is indeed true.

After the survivors arrived at Snowbird Port, they resold a lot of things to replenish their funds. In particular, it often takes time to resell antique calligraphy and paintings.

After that, when the survivors got involved in the pharmacy business, part of the start-up capital came from here.

"So, I am very interested in the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group." Tan Mo finally concluded.

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor fell into silence again.

His temptation had a good result.

He was secretly excited: "Tanmo doesn't know the secret of Sleeping Man's holy bloodline!"

This undoubtedly leaves him with huge room for development.

"I have to hold on."

On the surface, the Lord of Snowbird Harbor remained calm: "That's it."

"You want to deal with the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group because of the property of Double Eye Island."

"I want to get closer to the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group in order to reveal the person behind them."

"Perhaps there is no conflict between us."

Tanmo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He felt that what he had expressed was clear.

Just want to use the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group!

He has now successfully demanded bribes and forced the Lord of Snowbird Port to stay, and is in a clear advantageous position.

He wanted the Lord of Snow Bird Harbor to take action. As a local snake, it would be too easy for the latter to deal with and manipulate the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group!

Tanmo would not do it himself.

But the Lord of Snow Bird Harbor seemed to understand what Tan Mo meant, but he had a different plan.

"What better ideas do you have in the future?" Tan Mo asked.

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor continued: "You want money, I want people, there is no conflict between us."

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor will definitely not directly attack the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group!

On the one hand, he really wants to continue to hang on to the arms dealer behind him. On the other hand, he didn't want to start a big fight. Because the bigger the action, the more exposed it will be. Once Tanmo learns the big man's secret, the Lord of Snowbird Harbor will suffer the greatest loss!

Tan Mo saw the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord emphasize for the second time and understood more clearly that the latter seemed to have a new idea.

Tan Mo expressed his willingness to hear the details.

The mayor of Snowbird Harbor changed the topic: "Do you know? Dahan has led many pirates and has pushed into our country's coastal defense line."

Tanmo immediately said: "Of course, this is the most important news at the moment."

The Lord of Snowbird Port City said: "The defense line that the pirates are attacking this time belongs to the kingdom's second navy. According to my guess, it was Feng Lian who was thinking about the conflict between himself and the Satoma family and took the initiative to seduce Da Han."

"And I think there is a high probability that the Second Naval Fleet will be lost in this battle."

Tan Mo immediately expressed doubts: "On the pirate side, there is only one Sanctuary named Dahan. Although he has a Sanctuary-level Warcraft. But we all know that Warcraft has a single fighting method and low intelligence. It can be regarded as half a Sanctuary at most." class."

"But the Ice Sculpture Kingdom has three holy realms. They don't need to attack at the same time. As long as two of them fight, they can establish a battlefield advantage."

Compared to the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord, Tan Mo is more optimistic about the Ice Sculpture Kingdom.

But the Lord of Snow Bird Harbor smiled and said, "Master Tanmo, you don't know the inside story."

"The political atmosphere here in the Kingdom is a bit delicate."

"The political views between the Royal Archmage and the King are not consistent. As you know, the current ruler of the country is only at the Sanctuary level, and the Royal Archmage is also at the Sanctuary level. Moreover, the Hanyu family led by the Archmage is the number one in our country. Rich family.”

Tan Mo frowned slightly, and he could hear it - there was a strong political struggle within the Ice Sculpture Kingdom.

The king wants the royal mage to take action. It is best to recuperate after repelling the cold.

In this way, the king can flex his muscles, implement his own political plans, and break the existing situation.

On the other hand, the Royal Archmage also had similar thoughts.

The king does not represent an individual, but the interests of the royal family and the kingdom. The royal mage must defend his political ideals and the rights of his bloodline relatives, the Hanyu family.

"So, where is the White Dragon King?" Tan Mo asked.

The third Sanctuary-level member of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom is the supreme leader of the White Dragon Clan—a Sanctuary-level White Dragon King.

The mayor of Snow Bird Harbor City said: "The contemporary White Dragon King has always lived a solitary life and does not like worldly affairs. He usually likes to sleep in caves and rarely appears in public. He does not care about these things."

"According to the royal covenant, the kingdom does have an opportunity to ask the White Dragon King to take action, but it is definitely not now."

The waters around the Ice Sculpture Island are in danger, and the navy is under attack, but they will not resort to a sanctuary-level trump card like the White Dragon King.

After all, it is just an alliance, equivalent to a guest.

How can there be any reason for the host to sit back and watch while the guests take the initiative?

Tan Mo's eyes gleamed: "So, you think that the three holy realms of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom will not take action?"

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor expressed his speculation: "It is definitely possible to do it, but the possibility of doing it at sea is very small."

"When it comes to fighting at sea, the pirates are not only able to advance and retreat freely, but they also make a living at sea, which is the battlefield environment that is most suitable for them."

"We speculate that Dahan is thirsty for the resources of the ten thousand year ice lake and will definitely land on the island!"

"In this case, why not set up the battlefield directly in the royal capital? The three saints will have a very strong home field advantage. After defeating Dahan, it will be more difficult for the latter to escape. Maybe this battle can also kill Killing Dahan will greatly increase your fame and boost the country's prestige."

"Of course, this also has disadvantages. Once a war breaks out at the sanctuary level, the royal capital will definitely suffer heavy losses as a battlefield."

Tan Mo nodded: "Your analysis makes sense."

He quite agreed with the Snowbird Harbor City Lord's guess.

The reason is simple and straightforward - this is the world of the strong!

No matter how many soldiers die or property is lost, the foundation of the power will not be shaken.

Because the real foundation lies in the strong man himself.

Specific to the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, there are three holy realms, the King, the Archmage and the White Dragon King.

On the contrary, if they are injured, their respective forces will be shaken immediately, causing the forces to retreat in all aspects and shrink step by step.

The more injured they are, the greater the loss of power!

This is also the reason why none of the three sanctuaries of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom made any move after Dahan's provocation.

As the foundation of power, they have to be very cautious and have to be cautious.

Speaking of this, Tanmo had already vaguely guessed what the Lord of Snowbird Harbor was thinking.

He said directly: "Do you want to pretend to be a pirate and attack the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group?"

Talking to smart people saves you worry and effort.

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor once again discovered that although Tanmo was extremely greedy, he was actually talented!

That's exactly what he planned.

Now that the kingdom's three holy realms have been analyzed, they will be very cautious and will most likely not appear at sea. Then, the defeat of the Second Navy Fleet is determined.

By then, the maritime defense line will definitely be overwhelmed!

The coastal areas of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom may be attacked by pirates.

At this stage, there are many benefits to directly pretending to be pirates and actively attacking Snowbird Port!

The first benefit is that the Lord of Snowbird Harbor is not loyal to the Ice Sculpture Kingdom. He is a member of the Imperial Secret Spy Organization. Under the guise of being a pirate, he could directly eliminate many of the middle and lower classes, and then take the opportunity to insert a large number of secret agents.

The second benefit is that after quickly attacking the island as a pirate, the value of Snowbird Port in the hearts of Dahan and others will be greatly reduced. How much oil and water can there be in Snowbird Harbor, which has been looted? Snowbird Port is only one of the eight major trading ports in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom.

The third advantage is that pretending to be pirates and attacking the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group can not only satisfy Tan Mo, but also allow the Snowbird Harbor City Lord's plan to continue. At that time, the Lord of Snowbird Harbor will take the initiative to come to the aid and after "repelling" the "pirates", the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group who were robbed of their money will be greatly grateful to the Lord of Snowbird Port!

After receiving the affirmative answer from the Lord of Snow Bird Harbor, Tanmo clapped his hands and laughed: "This method is indeed good."

"Then sign the contract. You want money, and I want people." The Lord of Snowbird Harbor said.

Tan Mo suddenly showed hesitation.

Seeing this, the Lord of Snowbird Harbor decisively stated that this condition was non-negotiable!

If Tan Mo doesn't sign, then it's impossible for him to trust Tan Mo.

Only after signing the contract, he will hand over part of the funds to Tanmo. When the investigation turmoil subsides, take out the remaining part, and the contract will be automatically destroyed by then.

Tanmo fell into deep thought.

This is undoubtedly risky.

In the future, if the lord of Snowbird Harbor is defeated and this contract is involved, it will be evidence of guilt.

But Tanmo also knew that if he refused this condition, he would not be able to get the bribe from the Lord of Snowbird Port.

That's a lot of money!

"It also counts as part of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group..."

"This is not just the wealth of Double Eye Island. I heard that their magic potion sales are very popular and they make a lot of money."

Greed gradually overcame reason.

Finally, Tanmo nodded slowly: "Where is the magic contract? I want to take a closer look."
