Cold Wind City, West First Street.
A brand new three-story building was built on the ruins of the fortress of the former inspection hall. It is square and square, with a wooden structure, plastered on the wall, and its appearance is not very beautiful.
But it is big enough and majestic enough. There are more than 70 rooms inside, and the design is no simpler than the city lord mansion.
Zhou Qingfeng has always wanted to carry out large-scale construction in the city. In addition to the construction of the "Harmonious Chamber of Commerce" in the east of the city, the inspection office building in the west of the city is a key project.
More than 30 buildings around the building are its supporting facilities. Including a dormitory and training ground that can accommodate 700 urban management, as well as hospitals, colleges, warehouses, etc., constitute a complete administrative area.
After taking charge of the city's financial power, Wilson, as Zhou Qingfeng's direct line, became the first director of the inspection office. In order to be qualified for this position, he was filled with knowledge, mainly in management, organization and history.
In order to digest and absorb this knowledge, Wilson drank a lot of'Fox's Cunning' potion.
How to give full play to the role of the inspection office in controlling the city, Wilson knows that he has a great responsibility. Lord Lord not only gave money to people to build up the entire organizational structure, but also gave a lot of magic equipment.
For example, in order to ensure the extension of power, good communication is essential. In the office of the director of more than 100 square meters, there are ten alchemy pigeons.
These pigeons can fly back and forth between fixed locations of ten kilometers, ensuring that Wilson can communicate with his superiors and subordinates at least once within an hour.
In places hard to reach by alchemy carrier pigeons, "Fuqiangling" uses warehouses located outside the city to build a simple and effective relay liaison system for semaphores, lights, and messengers.
Ensure that news within 20 kilometers of Coldwind City can be delivered within one day. If this system evolves a little bit, it can be used to work as a regional post office.
In addition, the inspectorate also controls the city information network composed of traffickers, pawns and slaves. This network goes deep into every corner of the city, sending a lot of information all the time.
Many civilians who provide information do not know who is behind it. But they don't mind making a little money and selling some of the news they know.
A large number of'primary school students' trained by the Arcane Research Association came in handy. Students without arcane talent undergo special training and become civil servants. They sort out the information every day, and select useful parts to summarize and report.
A piece of information is like a puzzle. When the number is large enough, the combined value is very huge. Sitting in his spacious director's office, Wilson felt like he was in control of the city.
Merchants in the south tried to jointly raise food prices; outside gangs tried to control water transport transactions in the dock area; some people peddled counterfeit medicines among the poor;
The nobles are allied or betrayed one by one, and there are long-legged spies who are hiding in the dark, they are trying to sabotage.
"That's ridiculous."
Wilson had the illusion that he could know anything he wanted to know by just flipping through the briefing. The various forces in the city have no idea how to keep secrets.
Many so-called superiors have just had ideas and actions. The first thing he told was the personal servant. The faithful servant will sell the news when he turns his head, just to buy a glass of wine in exchange for some money.
"Kent, the butler of the Minos family, recently met with the long-legged spy Powell, and the two sides discussed for a long time in the mansion on North Second Street.
Old Allard is gathering family knights in the manor outside the city, and is offering a high price, trying to win the wizard group to join forces with it.
Long-legged family has a network active in Coldwind City, and multiple dark villages are under surveillance. However, the location of some key personnel is unknown. "
The power struggle is too complicated to have a long-term plan. The various forces in Cold Wind City are all tricks and tricks, and the situation is very chaotic.
When Wilson first took over, the Inspectorate Intelligence Network felt like a fight. But as long as the interest relationship is clarified, the situation will become more obvious.
This is a major reshuffle of the forces in the city, and all parties involved in the game are trying their best to protect themselves or expand.
On the surface, the parliament quarreled every day as if nothing happened. But secretly, one-third of the families in Coldwind City have disappeared forever in the noisy.
In the undercurrent, the struggle is extremely bloody and cruel. For the vast majority of families, there is only one chance to play a card, and if something goes wrong, it will be over.
Whenever a family disappears, the “rich and powerful leaders” who have been out of the way often send people to contact the remnants of the family.
This icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow, and many aristocrats have to bow their heads and give up everything to join the "rich and strong collar". They no longer enjoy the privileges and become a screw on the war machine.
For example, in the last month, there were more than fifty knights in the "rich and strong collar", all of whom were more outstanding in ability and character, and could be transformed into armed men for their own use.
In the eyes of the winning dignitaries of Coldwind City, those losers disappeared, maybe they have gone far away, or they may perish themselves.
In fact, many knights, warriors, and wizards who lost their lives did not go far. They all turned to Victor Hugo.
During the day's trial, the whole city knew that the long-legged family's sneak attack on the Harmony Chamber of Commerce had failed, and the attackers were openly hung on the gallows outside the Wizard Tower.
This shows that the “rich and powerful leaders” who have been watching have finally publicly intervened in the chaos of Coldwind City. The strong dragon is on the stage, what should I do with a ticket for the local snake
It's very simple. At night, twenty or thirty people came secretly to express their sincerity to Your Excellency Hugo. More and more people are aware of the changes in the limelight, give up their illusions and stand in line early.
But the more this time, the more dangerous it is.
The remaining forces at the table are very strong, and no one wants to be driven away easily. Once the showdown is bound to be a tragic fight.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't want a showdown, his power was in a period of rapid rise, and he became stronger every day.
And his opponent is getting more and more anxious, maybe someday he will find that he is powerless, and he will fight hard.
Wilson also felt that the atmosphere in the city became more and more tense in the past two days. Daily briefings show that the big families in the city can no longer hold back.
"Old Allard wants to violently seize power again. He obviously learned the lessons of the long-legged family and tried to gather enough troops before launching.
The Minos family renounced themselves. They hope to join the Long-legged family again, and hope that their contributions will be big enough, and Phils Long-legs will not be blamed.
As for the wizarding group, those guys just want to take advantage. Follow whoever is strong. "
Wilson will send the summarized briefings to the “rich and powerful leaders” outside the city. This kind of information transfer takes place every three hours, even if there is no new information.
Once the delivery is interrupted, it means that something has happened and you must respond according to the plan.
When Wilson was about to communicate for the last time tonight, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
The adjutant came in and reported: "Director, Your Excellency Hugo has sent you a group of personal security personnel to enhance your safety."
Wilson's position is important, but he himself is only a craftsman, and his force value is close to five. He has a group of recruited bodyguards around him, but the ability and number are far from enough.
Wilson was naturally happy to improve his defense. He wanted to see his personal security, so several burly or agile or steady adventurers came in the office.
But among these people, the most noticed is Eve Lorraine with a pale face.
Wilson knew this girl who was always with Zhou Qingfeng and asked in surprise: "Miss Lorraine, why did you come to me?"
Lorraine was already about to cry, and said with sobbing: "I don't know. Lord Lord said that he would train me to become a great arcanist, and let me come for an internship.
But I'm not even a wizard apprentice, and I can't even do a trick. I only have a handful of gems and nothing at all. Will bad guys attack? I'm so scared! "
