Lord of War

The noise in the tavern did not affect Dills' thinking.

Born in a slum, he is very familiar with this environment, and it can even be said that he has long been used to it. It is a very noisy environment for others, but it is a natural intelligence gathering point for him. Although there are a lot of meaningless content, there are also some gossip with more gold content, and the only thing he needs to do is The only thing is to organize the information he needs from these chaotic languages.

Of course, under normal circumstances, this approach is only applicable to those relatively small villages and towns. After all, there are usually only one or two taverns in such places, and the intelligence will naturally be relatively concentrated. Usually, if you want to find out the information you need in a city, you will definitely not choose the stupid way of going to taverns. After all, no matter how small a city is, there are at least several taverns, and the channels for collecting information will be blocked. Decentralization, unless a lot of manpower is invested, is a waste of time.

It's just a waste of time for others, but not necessarily for Dills. If he didn't have such one-handed skills, it would be impossible for him to become the head of the intelligence department of the Millennium Covenant Empire.

Sitting quietly at the bar counter, Dills wasn't very eye-catching. He just ordered a relatively affordable dinner and a glass of ale for himself.

At this moment, he looks a bit like a down-and-out wanderer who came from afar, trying to find a good opportunity here in the Void City.

He doesn't eat fast, but he has a bit of haste. It doesn't look much better than wolfing down. At least the way he eats is relatively rude. He only takes a sip of ale when he chokes, and then hammers himself. chest, swallowing the food with difficulty. this meal. It took him less than two minutes to finish the meal, and there was still half a glass of ale left. Dills licked his lips a little bit, and touched his money bag with his right hand, showing a bit of loss and frustration in his eyes.

However, his eyes quickly returned to calm, and he seemed to be full of hope in life again. When the owner of the tavern walked up to him and began to clear the plates, Dills took a sip from the ale glass, looking as if he was drinking to boost his courage. Then he asked, "Boss, are you still recruiting?"

"Recruiting?" The tavern owner was taken aback for a moment, and he glanced at the young man with expectant eyes.

This is a young man who is still full of vigor. Just now when the boss brought him food, the boss noticed that the young man rolled up the old dusty cloak and threw it at his feet. This small detail is not very noticeable. . But for the tavern owner who has to deal with countless adventurers and businessmen every day, it is a very clear message: this is a young man who is educated but very down-and-out.

And such a young man, if he hadn't been desperate and extremely hungry, would definitely not have devoured his dinner like just now, and of course he wouldn't have the courage to ask about work after drinking a big gulp of ale. No matter how you look at it, this is a very shy young man who has just set foot in the society. Maybe something happened at home that forced this young man to come to Void City to try his luck.

Today, including the people in the nearby territories, it is very clear. The Void City in Pandaland is a new city. It has just been built and is still in a blank reclamation period. If you can seize this opportunity to gain a firm foothold in the Void City. Life in the future probably doesn't need to be too worrying. It is precisely because of this that many people come to Void City every day. These people include homeless people and citizens who are not living well in other territories. There are even some bankrupt businessmen or down-and-out people.

Although because of the arrival of these people, Void City no longer needs to worry about the population problem. However, the employment rate, which has tended to be saturated in a short period of time, has also begun to breed some crime problems. Fortunately, with the return of Consul Neil, the law and order in Void City is much better now. At least after sending more patrols and guards and directly executing some criminals, Void City is now returning to its previous tranquility and peace. .

The tavern owner is quite optimistic about this well-educated young man in front of him. After all, if the Void City continues to prosper, it will of course be of great benefit to him. But it's a pity that he just recruited a seemingly capable person, which is already considered a full-capacity operation for his tavern, so although he sympathized with the young man, he still shook his head and refused: "Young man, You are one step late."

Sure enough, as soon as the tavern owner finished his words, Dills showed a little disappointment and loss in a cooperative manner.

In fact, when Diers, who is the head of the intelligence department of the Millennium Covenant Empire, entered the tavern, he noticed a notice that had been torn from the door of the tavern.

Judging from the traces left on the wall on the piece of paper, Diels easily judged that this piece of paper must have been a notice for recruiting employees before, and the gray marks displayed after the paper was torn off Judging from the sticky marks on the back of the remaining paper, this paper should be torn off within two days after it was pasted. Moreover, there were no new traces of coverage on the paper, all of which indicated that the manpower needed for this tavern had been fully recruited, so of course it was impossible for Dills to come here for questioning.

But for this long-known result, Diels still showed a disappointed look, just for his next move: "Then...then, can you provide me with some information? I...I really very much in need of a job.”

While saying this, Dills took off his purse, gritted his teeth with determination, and poured out all the money in the purse.

Three silver coins and twenty-one copper coins.

The tavern owner glanced at him, and there was already some sympathy in his eyes. With this little money, at most, this young man can spend four or five days in Void City, and if he can't find a job after that, he will probably really become a beggar. But this is not what the tavern owner really sympathizes with. He is now really sure that the young man in front of him is an inexperienced rookie.

"Hey, are you looking for a job?" A burly man sitting next to him walked over carelessly, "I can introduce you to a job."

"Dur." The tavern owner frowned slightly, but was glared at by the big man named Doer. He could only shut up resentfully.

Diers noticed this move very keenly, and then he showed a bit of panic on his face, and hurriedly swept the money into the purse, with a smile that was uglier than crying: "Thanks... Thank you for your kindness, I……"

But Dills' right hand was quickly grabbed by Doerr, and then he snatched his purse.

Dills' face changed drastically. He tried to snatch back his purse, but was pushed down by Doerr on the bar. At this time, the two big men who were sitting with Doerr also stood up. The three quickly surrounded Dills. Although the three of them didn't do anything, the invisibly formed deterrent force was enough to make many timid people retreat. The tavern was also quiet for a while at this time, but after seeing that the troublemaker was Dole, the tavern was very nervous. Soon the noise was restored.

As for the episode that happened at the bar. They have all been forgotten.

"Dur, if you want to continue drinking here in the future, stop it." The tavern owner does have a good impression of this young man, and if Doer is allowed to make trouble here, it will also have some impact on his tavern , so he immediately said, "If you don't leave, I will go to the patrol captain."

Dole glanced at the tavern viciously, then turned around and left with a cold snort, but before leaving, he still gave Dills a hard elbow: "Stingy, you are lucky."

Was punched by Dole like this. Dills' face turned pale, but he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak. Looking at the purse that Dole had taken away from him, he was so anxious that he was about to cry. But in the end. He could only watch Duer and his two companions leave arrogantly, without the courage to catch up.

"Oh." For a long time. The tavern owner sighed slightly, "That guy is Gordy's subordinate, a well-known villain around here. Although if you go to the patrol guards, their behavior will definitely be punished, but Gordy will definitely come to you trouble, unless you don’t want to stay in the Void City.”

Dills pursed his lips, but did not reply, his expression was still a little dull.

"How about this, you go to the south of the city to find Luo Duo, and tell me that I introduced you. If you are lucky, you may be able to find a job." The tavern looked at Dills, and finally moved with compassion, " Luo Duo is a well-known meat supplier in Void City. It is said that even the food for the Lord's Mansion is purchased from him. I heard that he needs someone with a bit of education, probably because he wants to deal with people in the Lord's Mansion. . . . but it's up to you whether you can win the job from Rodo."

Hearing the tavern owner's words, Dills' eyes showed a look of excitement and joy.

This time, he wasn't faking it.

Originally, he just wanted to use the condition of the tavern owner to introduce him to a job to get himself a legal identity, which would of course be a great guarantee for his subsequent underground activities in the Void City. Because after entering the tavern, he captured a key message during the short time of eating just now: now the Void City is mixed with fish and dragons. Although the increase of patrol guards has improved the security situation, in fact, the Void City is still in a relatively chaotic and complicated state. The situation, so once there is something out of the ordinary, it will naturally be noticed soon.

Judging from this bit of information, Diels probably knew why his subordinates missed: in such a chaotic situation, coupled with the fact that Void City’s anti-espionage work is also very careful—only in this tavern , Diers found two people who might be engaged in counter-intelligence work. Judging from this point, Diers has every reason to believe that the taverns near the four city gates must have intelligence departments belonging to Panda. During surveillance, if you are a little careless at this time, you will be targeted immediately. With the current tense relationship between Pandaland and the Kingdom of Dabion, if Diers is in charge of intelligence work, There must be killing mistakes.

So it can only be said that Diels' subordinates are not not good at learning, but are completely regarded as sacrifices.

However, espionage and investigation work can never be completed in a short period of time, so Diels urgently needs a new identity.

What he didn't expect was that his luck was really too good. He was able to connect with the food supplier of the lord's mansion from the tavern owner, which would save a lot of trouble for his subsequent espionage work. Because, the purpose of his coming to Void City is to investigate who has the blood of the phoenix. Judging from the known intelligence clues, Dills has actually locked three people: Rena, Hina, and Cecilia.

But because he lacked enough intelligence to establish data analysis, he couldn't be sure.

However, if he could get close to the Lord's Mansion, then he believed that his work this time would definitely end soon.

While thinking this way, after thanking the tavern owner, Dills couldn't wait to leave the tavern. All his behaviors were very normal, and he didn't arouse the two people in the tavern who were also doing intelligence investigation work. Notice.

From this point alone, it really has to be said that Dills is an expert in this field, because the two sides are not at the same level at all.
