Just like gathering 10,000 painters, you can't make an airplane. To make an airplane, you need well-trained workers and engineers.

In a sense, Oscar's three demands are similar to giving him a large amount of unknown money.

But now, he is not very short of money.

After thinking silently for a while, Li Cha looked at Garcia and made a final decision: "To be honest, I really want to promise Mr. Oscar behind you, but I haven't got all the information he wants. Need to continue digging and confirming. So, he will wait for me for a while."

"So, how long will it be, Lord Gray Crow?" Garcia asked with concern.

"I don't know about this." Li Cha shook his head. "Maybe I have to ask about the organization that let me infiltrate. Let's see how much they trust me and how long I can guarantee not to be exposed."

"Okay," Garcia said.

...

Ten minutes later.

With a "squeak", the door of the pretended bankrupt store opened, and Li Cha walked out and left.

Inside the door, the "disappeared" waterfowl walked back to the room, looked at the skinny old man Garcia and asked, "How is it? How did the conversation go?"

Before Garcia could answer, Mizuto said again: "Okay, although I don't know what you guys are talking about, but judging by your expressions, the result doesn't seem to be very good."

Garcia smiled wryly and said, "You guessed right. The result was indeed not very satisfactory. Although the man didn't express his refusal, it wasn't considered a promise. He said he would wait for a while before giving an answer."

"Actually, this is already a kind of rejection, right?" Water Bird said.

"But in fact, it's much better than refusing." Garcia said, "It's nothing. To be honest, I don't know exactly what I was talking to that adult about. I'm only responsible for Just take the words back, and how to deal with it later is naturally up to Mr. Oscar to decide."

"That's right." Water Bird nodded, "We are subordinates, we just need to obey orders."

"By the way, are you going to stay here for a few days, or what?" After sighing a few words, the water bird asked aloud.

"How many days? I would like to.

Garcia shook his head and said, "But it's impossible." There are other things up there for me to take care of, so I'm leaving tonight. "

"Well, I can only wish you this old bone can hold on."

"I would like to borrow your words." Garcia stepped out and left the shop in the dark.

And Li Cha, who left the previous step, has already left Rice City.

...

After leaving Rice City, Richard's first thought was to head southwest and return directly to Pompeii.

But after thinking about it, he changed his direction slightly and headed south.

Before, he was more or less worried about Ximu in the Garden of Eden, so he didn't plan to stay outside for too long, and wanted to rush back as soon as possible to prevent Ximu from really rebelling.

Who knew that Ximu was even more unreliable than he thought, and rebelled before he could go back, and was completely eliminated.

According to the information sent by Pandora, Ximu didn't even keep the trunk, only the heart of the tree was left. It can be regarded as returning to the same fate as in the withered forest.

In this way, he doesn't need to be too anxious. He can spare a day or so to drop by the city of St. Louis to see how the situation has changed.

The change of power in St. Louis City was secretly promoted by the spider web. In a sense, it was the penetration of the Soma Alliance into the Southern Freedom Federation. Go to see the situation, and get a side view of the purpose of the Soma Alliance. The black-faced old man suddenly asked him for the address of the Truth Society branch of the Southern Freedom Federation, which might have something to do with it.

It’s just that the relationship between the Soma Alliance and the Kingdom of Sika is not right now, and there are still uncleaned restoration forces planning various sabotage actions. At a time of internal and external troubles, do you still have the intention to launch an attack on the Southern Freedom Federation?

With this doubt, Li Cha quickly walked towards the south.

...

At noon the next day, Richard arrived in St. Louis.

It has been more than four months since the last time I searched for the "Void Book" in St. Louis, and Richard found that the appearance of this place has changed drastically.

The traces of the chaotic battle more than four months ago are completely gone. Most of the damaged buildings on the city streets have been repaired, and those that cannot be repaired have been directly pulled down, razed, and brand new buildings have been built.

Compared with the former city of St. Louis, the current city of St. Louis can be said to have a completely new look, and the efficiency of the transformation is astonishing, far exceeding the average level of the current world. Not surprisingly, wizards should be involved.

Richard also noticed that the walls of St. Louis City had been raised and thickened a lot, and the defense force was further strengthened. The patrol team of magic knights galloped by from time to time, and ordinary soldiers could be seen at any time.

To sum it up in one word, it is heavily guarded.

However, trade, the main source of income in St. Louis City, has not received too many restrictions. Many merchants come and go in the city, conducting various goods transactions in shops, markets or guild halls.

In a sense, it can also be said that the city of St. Louis is tight on the outside and loose on the inside.

Looking at this scene, Li Cha couldn't help but a speculative thought flashed through his mind: Maybe...the reason why the black-faced old man asked for the branch address of the Truth Society, and the reason why the Soma Alliance infiltrated the Southern Freedom Federation was not for the purpose of attacking. but defense.

Yes, defense. Grasping the most important points on the border can ensure that once things change, a solid line of defense will be established immediately to prevent the invasion of the Southern Freedom Federation and prevent the main force from being involved.

And doing this, save the main force, what do you want to do?

You can't deal with those small kingdoms or principalities with a population of less than ten million or one million?

The current main continent is worthy of the Soma Alliance. Apart from the Southern Freedom Federation, it seems that there is only the second largest country-the Kingdom of Sika.

Considering the border conflict between the Soma Alliance and the Sika Kingdom, maybe the continuous strengthening of order in the Soma Alliance is to really attack the Sika Kingdom, and it is not a simple move, it is likely to prepare a strong blow?

This is a bit interesting. Looking at the next period of time, the main continent will probably not be peaceful.

Of course, this has nothing to do with him. What he is currently doing is research.

Standing in front of a shop in the city of St. Louis, Richard thought so, and was about to turn around and leave to return to Pompey when he suddenly noticed a figure flashing by not far away.

Um?

that seems to be...

Li Cha raised his eyebrows and squinted to look over.
