Chapter 409: Burning Ice and Residual Fire
In fact, it was really the nobles who did it. The industries of some nobles had been severely damaged recently, so under the auspices of the Goethe family, they raised a large bounty and then posted it on the Adventurer's Association.
Then, various adventure groups and treasure-stealing groups led by the various branches of the Rock Shadow Lightning Campaign began to clear out the Hilichurls.
Although the trade routes are still intermittent, it is much better than being completely cut off before.
Otherwise, Kaia shouldn't be complaining about not having Afternoon Death to drink, but about not being able to drink Afternoon Death at all.
It is worth mentioning that with the opening of the trade route, Master Diluk also very readily paid off the intelligence fees of the Rock Shadow and Lightning Campaign, including Mora and wine.
After all, Master Diluk went to buy information several times later.
Compared to the intelligence organizations in the Northern Continent whose intelligence has a certain delay, the intelligence of the Rock Shadow Lightning Campaign is obviously fast enough.
Of course, it is more because the intelligence analysts of the Rock Shadow Thunder Campaign are professional enough to analyze some hidden intelligence from enough information.
The members of the Northern Continent Intelligence Organization are a little worse in this regard. Most of their intelligence comes from personal investigations. Although the intelligence is accurate and detailed enough, it also has many shortcomings.
Moreover, the intelligence analysts of the Northern Continent Intelligence Organization in the Mond region are much worse than the intelligence analysts of the Mond branches during the Battle of Rock Shadow and Lightning.
This also led to Diluk, a senior member of the Northern Continent Intelligence Organization, having to frequently go to the Rock Shadow and Lightning Campaign to purchase intelligence.
This time, with the help of many wealthy nobles who contributed money and handled the situation effectively, the situation in Mondstadt was finally saved a little. You have to know that when Diluk just returned to Mondstadt, all industries were in decline, but now at least there is some commercial activity.
And everyone spontaneously dug tunnels to conduct transactions.
Well~ Thanks to the Goethe family, which is full of architects. They planned some standard underground building templates and helped some merchants to dig their own underground shops, thus protecting the business practices of Free Mond.
It would be better if their charges could be a little cheaper.
"Dad, you are still good at making money." Borg Goethe said with emotion.
"What nonsense! When did I make money? I just collect the reasonable income from my labor." The modern Goethe said after kicking his son away.
Borg Goethe scratched his head and was speechless. "What did I say wrong? There are no outsiders here. Who are you pretending for?"
"Young people today are too impatient." The modern Goethe couldn't help but complain, "How can you fool your enemies if you don't even fool yourself normally?"
"Who still plays the traditional spy mode nowadays?" Borg Goethe didn't take this matter seriously at all.
The modern Goethe shook his head and threw Borg Goethe out the door. "It is said that the Fatui are going to send an executive officer to Mondstadt again. You better be careful, and tell your subordinates to be careful too."
"Don't worry, I've revealed all my cards." Borggod said in a low voice.
…
"Has Fischl, who was investigating the ruins of the wind dragon, returned?"
"I've returned, and successfully brought back part of the map of the Wind Dragon Ruins."
"What an amazing little guy."
"But it's a pity that she is not from our Zhidong, and she also has some personality issues."
…
"Hero of the Dark Night, what is going on?" In the office of the leader of the Knights of Favonius, Jean Gunhild rubbed his head.
Although there are always many legends like the Dark Night Heroes in Mondstadt, there is obviously a big difference between legends and real things.
In the recent period of time, this hero of the dark night has dealt with more than a dozen vicious members of the treasure-stealing gang who broke into homes and robbed people at night.
He also dealt with several Abyss Mages and Fatui who were secretly plotting in Mondstadt.
This not only caused the Knights of Favonius to lose their popular reputation, but also created great diplomatic pressure .
In the past few days, the counselor of the Fatui has been putting pressure on Jean to capture the so-called Dark Night Hero as soon as possible.
"Captain Qin."
"Kaia, you're back. What's the situation outside the city now? Is the trade route still open?" Qin asked.
"I just came back from the Adventurer's Association. Although it was a bit embarrassing for President Selius, I still got some information from him."
"That group of nobles actually did something wrong this time. They hired some random people to maintain the trade route." Kaia said, "But the situation in Mondstadt is not very optimistic. The tax revenue has recovered a lot in the past month, but it can still be seen that it has decreased a lot."
"And a lot of people are talking about the Knights not doing anything."
"This matter has nothing to do with those ordinary nobles. It's just some tricks of the Lawrence family and the Fatui." Kaia said.
"Kaeya , thank you for your help, but this matter still requires you to go and deal with it as soon as possible." Qin handed over the documents about the Dark Night Heroes that Kaeya had been away for a few days.
"Hero of the Dark Night..." Kaia thought.
"We need to investigate it carefully."
"Thank you for your help."
"Captain Qin, you should take some time to have a good rest. You are getting dark circles under your eyes." Kaiya couldn't help but say as he looked at Captain Qin who was working so hard.
"Thank you for your concern, but some things can't be delayed, such as this, this, and this..." Qin didn't hear anything.
Kaiya shook his head and left. He needed to go to the tavern to find out some information.
Soon Kaeya arrived at the Angel's Gift, the largest tavern in Mondstadt and one of the few taverns run by the Dawn Winery itself.
"Charles, a glass of Afternoon Death."
"Yes, Master Kaia."
Kaeya scanned the tavern with his one eye, paused, and whispered to Charles, "Charles, when did Diluk come back?"
Bartender Charles stretched his shoulders and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, Master Kaeya, Master Diluk said that he would keep it a secret from you alone."
"Hey~ Long time no see, Diluk."
"I don't want to see you. It would be better if you could stay away from me." Diluk said in a very calm tone.
Although Kaeya has not fallen behind in these years, his strength has been far behind Diluk.
Diluk gently pressed a scanning device. He would find out the exact life energy level later. Now he needed to get rid of this troublesome guy first.
"I'm really sad when you say that. Let's talk about your adventures."
"Such a strong smell of alcohol." Diluk frowned. "I just want to drink a glass of grape juice and calm down. I don't want to chat with you."
