Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

The Ninth Investigation Department does all kinds of dirty work, and Peter has handled more than one or two cases.

Someone always has to bear the shadow behind the principality.

He thought the mission against the white people was the same.

But when he turned to the last page, he was confused.

"Isn't this aiding the enemy?"

...

Sanger felt deep malice again.

The bastard merchants in the Northern Principality are simply cannibals.

As soon as they saw him, a white man, they immediately turned against him.

Relying on their country far away, they lowered prices, despised, and robbed the black, and all kinds of small actions emerged one after another.

Anyway, the white people have no army nearby, so what's wrong with bullying you?

This era is so nakedly about the law of the jungle.

Sanger almost gritted his teeth to deal with these bastards, and finally sold the goods in his hands.

Of course, there will be no loss, and these merchants have a basic salary for lowering prices.

Of course, don't think they have a conscience, this is just the constraint of the local chamber of commerce.

If we don't allow both sides to make money, what will we do if others don't come next time?

One meal or every meal, this seems to be an easy choice.

But making money is secondary to Sanger.

His purpose is to gather intelligence and steal knowledge.

Although there are many books circulating on the market, the core technology is not easy to find.

For a group of poor students, they can't find the correct answer by flipping through books.

Some businessmen are willing to build relationships for the sake of money.

Other officials are not soft-handed when taking money, and they don't have the ability to do things... This kind of thing.

The key is that Sanger dare not say his purpose directly, otherwise he will definitely be exposed.

However, they have been there for a long time, and they have seen a lot of fun things in the Northern Principality.

In this case, Peter suddenly appeared in front of Sanger.

Originally, Peter just made a layout and waited for the other party to contact him.

However, after accepting the task, Sanger did not dare to test him at all due to some concerns.

Peter certainly couldn't just wait, so he slightly modified the plan.

Snap!

Several books were slapped directly in front of Sanger.

The latter studied hard, and his speech was almost good enough, but his writing was still a little lacking.

However, he could understand the names of the books... "The Origin of Steam", "Mechanical Power"...

The table was full of books, and they were the kind of books that were hard to buy outside.

Sanger's face was stiff, as if he was caught in a vital position.

"Captain Sanger, are you looking for these books?"

Peter lit a cigarette and blew a circle from his mouth, looking arrogant and relaxed.

"Huh... Huh," Sanger thought quickly and came up with an excuse: "Yes, I heard that the way of machinery is very magical, I am very curious and want to see it."

Peter ignored him and stared at him slowly smoking a cigarette.

After looking around, there was no ashtray, and it turned out to be a barbarian from overseas.

Peter casually pressed the cigarette butt on the table, and the fire quickly went out, leaving a black mark on the table.

"It's okay to lie to children, and it's not something prohibited, so what?"

Sanger didn't answer. Books were naturally not contraband. The Northern Principality was very lenient in this regard.

But once he admitted it, it was almost like he had confirmed his purpose, and he would not be able to steal technology anymore.

"Heh... you're playing this game with me?" Peter pointed at Captain Sanger rudely, revealing his rudeness that he had not revealed before: "You just want to steal technology, do you really think it's a secret?"

Sanger looked at Peter seriously and saw some problems in his tone.

The polite Mr. Peter had completely changed, and was extremely rude.

He was analyzing the reason for this change.

Did he catch his handle and thought he didn't need to pretend anymore?

Very likely.

But why did he appear in front of him instead of bringing people to catch him directly?

Thinking of this, Sanger said slowly: "Mr. Peter, you misunderstood me. I am just a businessman with some curiosity.

And your country does not seem to restrict academic exchanges. As far as I know, other countries have also learned a lot of advanced technologies, so... is this directed at me?

Peter took out another cigarette and lit a match, and his expression seemed to change with the flame.

"Look at this cigarette, it tastes very good, but a box is one silver coin. How many silver coins do I earn a month? I can hardly afford it."

Sanger seemed to understand something, and his expression relaxed.

But he was also afraid of stinging enforcement, so he remained silent.

Peter seemed to be getting more and more irritable, and finally he broke the balance himself.

"Okay, I don't have time to play dumb with you. These books plus a first-generation steam engine, in exchange for 50,000 gold coins... Do you want to do it?"

Sure enough, it was for money.

Sanger finally smiled. Is there any cat in the world that doesn't steal fish?

He was cautious and kept his mouth shut: "I'm just a businessman. I won't do anything illegal, sir. "

Peter became even more impatient, and stood up directly, waving his right hand holding a cigarette.

"I won't do anything illegal. This steam engine is obsolete waste, and the books can be bought on the market.

I have all the procedures for the steam engine, and I can buy and sell it at will.

You said you are a businessman, so this is a commercial activity. I believe someone in your country should be interested in this iron lump. Do you want to buy it back?"

The procedures are legal, how could they not be? They were issued by themselves, and they were stamped by themselves, which is more real than the real thing.

Sang finally gave in and replied cautiously: "As long as the business is profitable and legal, I am willing to do it."

If it is illegal, then you are stinging the law.

Fifty thousand gold coins is a large number for many small nobles.

The two negotiated for a long time and finally reached an agreement.

Sang ran around, and the goods he brought had been sold long ago.

Fifty thousand gold coins were almost the balance he reported.

Although it is a lot, it is worth it.

As far as he knows, the development of steam engines has only been in the past two years.

With detailed technical books and samples in hand, he believes that scholars in the United Kingdom will soon be able to innovate.

It won't take long, with the strength of the entire United Kingdom, it will be able to quickly catch up with the Northern Principality.

By then, a large number of ironclad ships will be launched and the New World will be occupied.

The two countries are too far away, and it is unrealistic to go to war in the short term. Their goal is the resource-producing area of ​​the New World.

That night, a primitive steam engine was delivered to the ship.

Sanger also paid the money without hesitation. What's the use of 50,000 gold coins?

Technology, technology is the most important thing.

He seemed to have seen himself returning to the United Kingdom, accepting the Queen's award, and reaching the peak of his life.

Sanger rejected Peter's suggestion of escorting him, and fled overnight for fear of being robbed and killed.
