"It's not like a spy." Rolf concluded, "He's too young."
"Are you sure?" Kant asked.
"Hmm." Rolf shrugged and said affirmatively, "Of course, Lord Kant, compared to Manid, this guy is like a simple and reckless child. , I'm sure that Manid guy can play him around."
Manid is a well-known new star businessman in the Calradia continent. Although he is only in his 20s, his superb business skills are not weaker than those in his 50s.
If he hadn't encountered an irresistible robbery, he probably wouldn't have capsized in the gutter.
"It's really immature."
Kant agreed with his conclusions.
This was reflected in the interrogation. This young man named Borg was really innocent.
Almost silly cute.
Without many words, he made his identity clear.
And most importantly.
Kant did not believe that in this era of cold weapons, there is still any kind of psychological training.
Stretching out his hand slightly and knocking on the table, Kant signaled to the guard that he could push back the sweaty, apparently extremely nervous Borg, and ordered, "Let him calm down first."
The guard nodded, left and right, set up Borg and went back to the cell.
The guy was too scared to walk by himself.
"Heh, this is a young man, so cute and silly, he doesn't understand anything except what he thinks is full of passion, but when it comes to things, he's really timid." Rolf mocked.
However, when he saw Kant who was still immature next to him, Rolf's eyes twitched, and he realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, so he quickly made amends and said: "Of course, Mr. Kant, I didn't insinuate what you mean, ahem, I mean It's... just this Borg..."
"Okay, everyone was young before." Kant said, sitting in his seat and meditating slightly.
The appearance of this spy gave him a sense of crisis.
The temptation of the salt trade makes people choose to take the risk even if they risk their lives.
After all, Kant was at the post station at the time and told the desert robbers to tell any spies who tried to cross the line of the post station that they would be killed as long as they approached the post oasis.
But now the Borg and his caravan came anyway.
Kant underestimated the greed of this group of people.
He couldn't believe that this young man really came here with a passion.
Maybe he really wanted to save his family.
But if there is no one behind the scenes, Kant will not believe it. After all, the salt trade between the Sentinel Oasis and the Hard Rock Pass is not known to ordinary people. Even if they know that Baron Dylan’s caravan sells fine white salt, most people would I don't know, this is because of the shipment from Sentry Oasis.
Fatis opened his mouth and said solemnly to Kant: "It is estimated that some people want to use this blog to test you. Lord Kant, I think it should be handled with caution."
"Yeah." Kant nodded, he also thought so.
But in the turning of thoughts.
Kant raised his head slightly: "We seem to have reached a certain bottleneck stage."
"Bottleneck?" The three of Fatis looked at him with doubts in their eyes.
The current "Drehem" castle and "Aaron" village can only be regarded as giving Kant the foundation to occupy this place, and the strength to control the Nalun Desert. As for the bottleneck at the peak, it can't be called a bottleneck.
Bandak and Rolf both know that the current strength cannot compete with the Lion Principality.
Kant chuckled: "It's not military."
3 people are still puzzled.
Slightly pondering, Kant turned his head to look at the corridor where Borg was dragged out, and asked, "Do you think that with our current strength, can we go deep into the Lion Principality and open up a new battlefield?"
"We don't understand." Rolf said bluntly.
"I plan to arrange for someone to go to Dongjun to try their luck."
Kant opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "This Borg is the best pathfinder." After a pause, his eyes lit up a little: "The group of guys want him to explore the reality of the sentry oasis, then I Just give them this chance, but instead use Borg's family network to extend their power to the Lion Principality."
"But this will be a bit dangerous. If it is exposed, it will even affect our cooperation with Stone Pass. After all, in the current salt trade, Stone Pass will not tolerate a second partner." Fatis frowned and raised his opinion.
Kant nodded at this: "This is also my worry."
Because of the salt trade with Stone Pass, Baron Dylan, a greedy guy, can stand in the way of others.
If Kant starts the same salt trade with others.
With Baron Dylan's character, it is estimated that there will be an overreaction.
Although Kant didn't care about the so-called threat of military strength, it would be troublesome if Baron Dylan opened the canyon to allow a large number of spies and other spies to appear in the Nalun Desert.
After pondering for a while, Kant said, "I don't plan to use table salt as the main trade item."
The three of Fatis didn't know much about business, so they listened in silence.
"Our sugar workshop has been able to produce a large amount of honey date palm candy. This is the product I consider to cooperate with the Borg family. No one will think of us."
After careful consideration, Kant said: "Even if it is exposed, Stone Pass will not have any excuses. After all, what we are cooperating with is sugar, not salt. Both parties have sufficient interests involved and have nothing to do with each other. Therefore, Baron Dylan That guy, likewise, won't tear his face apart and have an obvious hostile state with us."
"But there will be gaps in the cooperation between the two parties." Bandak said.
But Rolf next to him laughed and said, "You are so naive, isn't there a gap now?"
"Rolf is right." Fatis nodded, agreeing with Rolf's statement surprisingly, and at the same time raised his head and said to Kant: "However, how to avoid the rocky pass? It is discovered that we are cooperating with other people in the early stage. For the special attention, I suggest waiting for Manid to come back before discussing it."
"Well, that's it." Kant agreed.
He also agrees with Rolf's statement.
The relationship between Sentinel Oasis and Jianshi Pass is inherently fragile, and the cooperation is entirely due to interests.
It is the fine white salt produced in Sentinel Oasis that brings the basis of cooperation.
This is an extremely expensive luxury condiment.
When Baron Dylan of Hard Rock Pass saw this cute little white flower, he automatically substituted the big white silver coin. That's why the cooperation can be so seemingly intimate, but in fact there is a huge rift between the two sides. , will suppress the other party severely.
Kant only earned 50 silver coins per bag of white salt, but Baron Dylan earned 250 silver coins.
This cooperation of interests is like a steel wire.
A fragile peace is maintained because neither side has the strength to annex the other.
Once Kant is strong, he will not be satisfied with 50 large silver coins, and will even go deep into the Principality of Lions to get more benefits. Even if he does not do this, Baron Dylan will also be wary of Kant's strength.
How can a side-lying couch allow others to sleep peacefully
This is common sense.
What's more, the Baron Dylan has always been coveting the salt mine that Kant controlled.
No one will dislike themselves for earning too much.
And completely mastering the salt mine is also equivalent to mastering the entire silver mine!
He will not give up this idea that can soar into the sky.
The three of Kant and Fatis discussed the feasibility of this matter in detail. Although they are not proficient in business, they can still discuss whether the plan can be successful in a short time with the nobles of the Stone Pass and the East County. Make a beneficial impact in the future and make sure their development gets another boost!
While they were discussing, the guard outside the corridor came over.
He bowed respectfully and said: "My lord, that guy named Borg has been clamoring to see you, and said that he has secret information to tell you. I think it may be useful to you, so report, do you want to bring him here? "
Kant was slightly taken aback, but he still nodded and said, "Bring him over again."
"Yes." The guard went on, and soon brought Borg over.
But this time, Borg was wearing neat shackles, all made of cast iron. His neck, hands and feet were all connected by heavy chains and shackles, making it difficult to walk.
But he still reluctantly looked up at Kant, and knelt on the ground directly: "Baron Kant, this time Viscount Wayne of the North County Territory sent me here, and he gave me how to cross the Sanwaya Mountain Trail, and how to Come to the map of the sentry oasis, I understand now, he wants me to be a spy to find out about you!"
"Well, that's right." Kant's eyes flickered: "You mean, Viscount Wayne from Fort Rogge was actually involved in this matter?" He asked: "If you don't have evidence Guess, this is slandering the nobility, and the court will sentence you to be hanged."
"That's right! It's definitely Viscount Wayne!"
Borg said categorically: "I was going to Fort Rog with the goods, and Viscount Wayne's financial officer received me, and at the same time told me that the salt mine was discovered in the Sentinel Oasis, and Baron Dylan in the Stone Pass Made a fortune!"
After a pause, Borg gritted his teeth and said, "In order to save the family, I listened to the financial officer's words, and even received funding and got this group of guards. But when I came here and was caught by you, I realized that I was a spy and Exploring the abandoned son, all this can be known by interrogating my guards!"
"There is such an inside story." Kant narrowed his eyes.
The three of Fatis were also slightly silent, their faces slightly dignified.
This is a naked temptation!
Although the Viscount Wayne did not appear, the financial officer of Fort Rogge could issue this order on his behalf, and the family was about to go bankrupt, and Borg, who was desperately trying to save the family's future, came into their sight.
Kant turned to Rolf and said, "Go and interrogate the guards and ask for the details."
"Understood." Rolf grinned grimly, pulled out the riding whip stuck in his waist, and turned to leave.
