Normal means of obtaining information include but are not limited to eavesdropping, sneaking in, disguise, torture, etc.
In places with complex personnel, it is often easier to obtain gossip.
For example, banquets held by upper-class nobles, or taverns where free mercenaries often hang out.
There are many mercenaries in the royal capital. Although they cannot go outside the "Eternal Wall" to hunt dark creatures, there are many commissions from nobles and businessmen.
Not only the tasks of finding cats and dogs, snakes and lizards, etc. to find lost pets, but also tasks such as infiltration, theft, and framing of blame have always been the mainstream in the tasks of the Royal Capital Mercenary Association.
The white-haired nobleman commissioned mercenaries to pour excrement in front of the red-haired nobleman's door today... Tomorrow, you will probably see "the commission to sprinkle excrement in the white-haired nobleman's mansion" on the task list.
There are many such tasks. Due to the turmoil among the nobles, it is not convenient to use one's own manpower. These free mercenaries are the best choice. If anything goes wrong, it is not their fault... even though both sides of the grudge are well aware of it.
In this way, a large number of free mercenaries were supported in the royal capital.
and other derivative industries.
for example,
Seller of excrement water.
It's all a one-stop service.
The supply is often not enough!
The deputy commander of the "Wing Corps", Mark introduced him respectfully.
Tang Yu nodded as he walked.
There were also Gray Blade, Fanny and others, walking on the streets of the outer city... This area is considered a commercial district, with a large flow of people, and there are many free mercenaries coming and going. These people don't have much toughness, but they are. Most of them have deer heads and rat eyes, and what they wear are not swords, but daggers and some strange tools.
No wonder the soil and water support the people.
The mercenaries, who were tough-looking and strong-bodied, were at a disadvantage in such a sneaky competition for tasks.
There are very few civilians in shabby clothing around the block. They are basically middle class and can afford to settle in this area.
In the outer cities and suburbs of the royal capital, and in more areas, the poorest people live, with ragged clothes and dull eyes.
He can't control it. You must know that there are still many survivors who are living hard lives in the green defense circle and large shelters such as Hengcheng.
"The inner city is more than ten times more prosperous than the outer city. At night, all kinds of gorgeous lights flash, but the inspections are much stricter. We only have the status of a minor noble, so it is difficult to move around in the inner city."
Mark explained, with a mixture of longing and regret in his tone.
"Yes." Tang Yu responded lightly, and then felt that the fighting spirit of his new subordinates should be stimulated, so he added, "The universe is so big, you will have many opportunities in the future to see more magnificent cities, it's just an inner city, it doesn't matter whether you enter or not... "
He didn't plan to enter the inner city anyway. If the extraordinary aura was noticed and attracted the attention of some powerful people, it would not be in line with his strategy of sneaking in.
There should be many strong men in the capital.
Mark was so excited.
That's right, now that you are working under the High Lord, you are no longer the same person you used to be. You need to have a broader vision. What does the inner city of the royal capital count in the eyes of a being like the High Lord who has traveled thousands of worlds
Our goal is the stars and the sea.
The short-term goal is to complete the lord's mission and spread the tentacles of green shade throughout the royal capital.
"I suggest you start from these pubs. There are many free mercenaries gathered here. They have no moral integrity. What they like most is to brag while drinking. As long as you spend a little money and get familiar with these mercenaries, it will be easy to get information from them. information."
"It's not just low-level information. These mercenaries often accept commissions from nobles. There are some dirty things involved. Some mercenaries are better off than the nobles."
"And our "Wing Corps" has had many interactions with free mercenaries, and we know which mercenaries are truly capable. "
Tang Yu nodded slightly.
Zabol's old subordinates have done a good job in analysis.
so,
"Okay, then let's open a tavern here, choose the most prosperous location, and make it large in scale."
mark:"???"
Aren't we talking about getting information from these mercenaries
Why did he open a tavern in the blink of an eye
Then I heard the great lord continue,
"It's not just a tavern, we want to provide the highest quality enjoyment. Let's open a chess and card room, a mahjong parlor, and a one-stop service club."
Tang Yu turned to look at Luo Lin, "The task is left to you. Do you have any questions?"
Apart from being unreliable, Lorraine's bartending skills are really strong. Nowadays, there are many awakened people in Luyin who are willing to pay sky-high prices just to drink the drinks made by the landlady herself.
However, compared with her ability to pay debts, Lorraine's bartending skills seemed to be nothing.
"Opening a store at public expense? How to calculate the profit?" she asked.
"Nineteen cents, I will invest in the shares, accounting for 90%."
"Excuse me! Five to five, no more! I have to be busy managing the tavern and bartending. It's a lot of work, okay!" She raised her eyebrows.
"I paid for it..."
"If I personally mix drinks, I can at least increase the tavern's sales by 50%!"
"I paid for it..."
"I have sweated for the shade, I have bled for the shade."
"I paid for it..."
"Emmmm, okay, okay" Lorraine covered her face, defeated.
Who told her that not only did she not have a few source crystals in her pocket, but she also owed a large amount of debt
Lorraine was also desperate. She was obviously good at making money, but God knew that whenever she had extra money, the source crystals in her pocket would always slip away due to various accidents.
The preparations for Greenland Entertainment City were finalized in just a few words.
Lorraine serves as the proprietress of the entertainment city.
As a local gangster in the royal capital, Mark's workload is also huge. He is inseparable from recruiting trustworthy manpower and constructing the entertainment city.
Very busy.
A little confused again.
What's the most, first mission
No, aren't you trying to get the news from the mercenaries
Why did it become like this? !
…
The construction of the entertainment city is not easy to use architectural magic, and it takes time.
However, Lorraine has already purchased a storefront and opened the tavern. In just a few days, the Nightside Tavern has gained some fame due to its unique style and mellow taste.
After the construction of the entertainment city is completed and there is a huge flow of people, why do we need to get acquainted with those free mercenaries and get information from them
Just install monitoring equipment throughout the entertainment city.
The system is different. There is no monitoring equipment engraved with any runes. Even if the stability is poor, it is better than safety. People from other worlds have never come into contact with it. Even if a strong person scans it with mental power, they will only think it is a decoration of exquisite workmanship.
Even the decorations are so exquisite, wouldn't it better reflect the high-end atmosphere of Greenland Entertainment City
"As long as the entertainment city becomes bigger and stronger, and the nobles and even the great nobles develop into stable customers, all the big and small things that happen in the royal capital will be heard immediately."
Tang Yu thought,
Not only that, if "mental space" is used in training, it will be too sensational and will easily attract attention. However, if some realism is reduced and made into a low-profile entertainment version, then...
He heard that the entertainment life in the royal capital was also lacking.
In addition to banquets, the nobles also had banquets.
Rune masters and manufacturing masters are all studying how to make equipment more powerful, and they don't have much application of rune technology in daily life, let alone entertainment.
Never considered this aspect.
They can’t imagine the happiness that high technology can bring!
"And the Royal Capital is different from other cities in Aino Continent. Those places are poor, but the nobles in the Royal Capital are almost all rich. Especially in the past thirty years, after the "Eternal Wall" was built, the comfortable life really made the Royal Capital born. There are fewer and fewer masters, but the pockets of the nobles are getting bigger and bigger, which is not conducive to the economic development of the royal capital... "
Tang Yu felt that he was contributing to the GDP of the royal capital. How great he was. He was worthy of being the master of the green shade that brought prosperity. The following sentence was spread by the people of Zhenxicheng and Geercheng. It was not his Tang Dynasty. The lord boasted.
After thinking for a while, he picked up a pen and paper and slowly wrote the "General Outline for the Development of the Entertainment Industry in Wangdu".
As for intelligence collection, he had long ago abandoned it...
Ahem,
Anyway, intelligence can make money and both can flourish.
