"trade?!"
The female assassin once again covered her clothes tightly, her voice suddenly rising:
"As expected! You men are all creatures who only think about the lower body!"
Sean suddenly had a black line:
"Don't think too much! No one is interested in you. Your profession is an assassin, so you should be good at gathering information, right?"
The female assassin nodded, gathering information was her specialty. But when she saw that Sean didn't want her body, she didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.
Sean touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said:
"You go help me find out some information. After the matter is completed, I will return all your equipment to you, including two silver-level daggers.
Of course, if you are willing, we can cooperate for a long time, and I will pay you a considerable amount every time I inquire about information. What do you think?"
After hearing what Sean said, the female assassin changed her stance and asked with some suspicion:
"I wanted to join you just now, but you were unwilling. Now you actively want to cooperate with me for a long time. What are you thinking?"
"This..." Sean didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Huh, sure enough! A sister of mine who is engaged in underground trading once said that men only like to come once and are not willing to be responsible for life!" the female assassin said disdainfully.
Sean: "..."
Is this matter becoming more and more crooked as time goes by?
...
But Sean doesn't want to waste time arguing with the female assassin anymore. Time is money, my friend.
So Sean took out the female assassin's dagger from Windsor's waist, flicked his wrist hard, and nailed it to the wooden table in front of him:
"Just tell me if you are willing to cooperate!"
Seeing her dagger, the female assassin immediately softened and said charmingly: "Okay, I promise you. Will you really return the dagger to me after I get the information?"
"It depends on whether you can satisfy me!"
A smile appeared on Sean's lips.
But suddenly he felt strange looks from the three people behind him. Sean wiped his sweat and said, "I am referring to the information she obtained."
...
In the next five minutes, Sean gave a general overview of the situation in Water Pine Town and Brody Mill. After all, the female assassin was from Port Kapur, so she might not understand the big and small forces in John City.
Then, Sean asked her to explore the living conditions of the residents of Shuisong Town, the deployment of military forces, the geographical environment, and the approximate location of every powerful person above the bronze level.
The female assassin agreed to the deal. After all, there was only one Silver-level cultivator in Shuisong Town, so it was not difficult to obtain this information.
Then, Sean returned the female assassin's silver-grade shoes to her and asked her to go back quickly.
Finally, Sean sent her away from Hetan Town.
...
After seeing off the female assassin, it was already half past six in the evening, and it was time for dinner.
Shaun returns to the castle with Windsor and Anduin.
On the way back to the castle, Windsor asked Sean:
"Sir, there is something I don't understand."
"you say."
Windsor thought for a while and asked:
"There is only one Silver-level cultivator in Suisong Town. With Matthew and Kate here, we don't have to worry about them at all. Is it really necessary to send the female assassin to Suisong Town to find out the information this time?"
Sean smiled:
"Wendsall, I once read a sentence in a book: 'Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is'. Don't be arrogant, let alone underestimate any power. We must always remain cautious."
After patting Windsor on the shoulder, Sean left the two of them deep in thought and returned to the castle.
Although the territory has now surpassed Shuisong Town in terms of high-end combat power (this is without including Kate and Matthew), the gap will further widen in the future.
But Sean didn't let down his guard either.
Sean had seen many real-life examples of self-destruction due to arrogance in his previous life.
For example, the plague in the previous life.
Westerners in previous lives arrogantly believed that compared with the big Eastern countries, their own systems were advanced, their medical conditions were good, their people were of high quality and their bodies were strong, and they completely ignored warnings from the outside world.
In the end, they paid a heavy price.
...
After returning to the castle, Sean learned that Kate was awake and understood what had just happened.
But she could not accept the fact that Matthew was her biological father for a while, so she and Matthew hid in the room and did not come to dinner.
Sean had no choice but to order the servant to deliver dinner to their room.
After dinner, Sean came to the basement.
In the basement, Sean and Khadgar chatted about what happened today by passing notes, learned about the situation in Yonn City, and discussed future development.
Khadgar was very surprised that so many great things happened in his territory, and regretted not being able to participate in it himself.
Sean was also very surprised because Khadgar teleported seven or eight books through the teleportation array.
These books contain not only precious geographical information, but also some advanced fighting qi cultivation techniques, advanced fighting skills and some practical meditation rules!
These books were carefully selected by Khadgar in the library of the Golden Wolf King Castle.
While passing the note, Khadgar also said that in a few days he would find a way to break into the Magic Guild and "visit" the precious collection of books there.
Of course, the Magic Guild is not an enemy. When the time comes, they will not take other people’s books for free, but at most they will take some copies.
.......
The note was passed until Khadgar's magic power was not enough to support the [Teleport Gate], and the two of them stopped without knowing what was going on.
Then, Sean happily walked out of the storage room with the book in his arms. He also took the [ship-mounted artillery] in the basement back into the system and summoned Zhu Talan.
After all, Anduin and the Illumination Element already have feelings for each other, so Sean simply doesn't take the Illumination Element back into the system and lets it stay by Anduin's side, so that Anduin will be able to help Anduin when he encounters assassinations in the future.
In the end, it was the same as before, Sean went back to his room and started today's study and practice.
It feels a bit like doing a "daily task", and it is a "daily task" that must be cleared every day.
...
...
May 12, sunny.
The warm spring is more than half over, and the hot summer is coming soon.
Olga will welcome her daughter Sophia with Sean today, and then set off to dig saltpeter in the sand.
Saltpeter can not only make gunpowder, but also ice!
The ice cubes made can help the nobles of Jon City and even the whole country spend a cool summer!
…
The entire morning was still the same as yesterday, with Sean taking care of official duties in Anduin's place.
Anduin's recovery condition is much better than expected. With the light element, the depleted magic power that was originally expected to take 3-5 days to recover has now been restored by more than half.
Chapter completed!
