Chapter 414 Cooperation
After being supplemented with living supplies, the production efficiency of the exile camp has been improved immediately.A large amount of wood was transported down from the cliff, and initially processed into planks to build simple houses.The tailings in the mine were also mined. Although it has no economic value in terms of quality, it is enough for civilians to use.

The abandoned furnace was lit again, and the black smoke generated by the incomplete combustion of charcoal floated into the sky. This is a unique symbolic product of human civilization. From a certain point of view, it also represents the rekindling of the fire of civilization here. .

The ruins of the castle were also being cleaned up in an orderly manner. A large amount of masonry waste soil was cleared out and piled up near the mountain pass. The exiles mixed mud with these waste materials to build a simple defensive city wall at the valley entrance.Although there is Thunder Fortress outside, it is almost impossible to be in danger, but those who can survive until now have learned to be cautious.

The circumstances that Gao Wen and Ackford got were completely different. The former was teased again and again, not only losing his dignity, but also deceiving his real purpose.On the other hand, Ackford's side not only made two deals inside and outside, but also unexpectedly found a way to make money in this remote area, which can be said to be a lot of money.

"If the weapons he smuggled from Falcon can earn six times the profit, the alchemy quenched weapons he obtained from me can earn more than sixteen times. No businessman can refuse the temptation of such a high profit." Laurana to El at the construction site.

"Why is there such a high profit? The smuggled weapons are less profitable than the weapons they use themselves?" El was a little puzzled by this.

"Compared to the Falcon Empire with a long history, Oakland, which has a history of only a thousand years, still lacks foundation after all. One of the Twelve Sages of the Truth Society, the great alchemist Elric created a new generation of alchemy school, the country's alchemist Therefore, the technology is unique. For example, the alchemy quenching technology invented later can upgrade our weapons to the point where they can compete with the falcon army."

Laurana sighed and said: "Although alchemy can turn decay into magic, it also has a fatal weakness, which is high cost. Forged steel corrugated swords like the one produced in the Falcon Empire military workshop are completely Using traditional craftsmanship, it is handcrafted by experienced craftsmen. The black blade tungsten steel sword equipped with the elite army of Thunder Fortress needs to use alchemy to complete the final quenching process, and the cost is second. The key to the problem is you It is impossible to train alchemists in batches like training craftsmen, so the high-end weapons on our side are basically limited in supply."

"So you agreed to help him make the Black Edge Steel Sword? Then exchange it for Falcon's smuggled weapon?" El frowned, "Won't this take up a lot of your time?"

"The quenching medicine formula is a state secret, but my teacher happened to be one of the participants who improved the formula back then, so there is no technical problem in this regard. As for the manpower... don't forget that Miss Tiana was the one in the academy. All the students have been rescued, and it's time for these little guys who only know how to eat to do something serious."

When talking about those students, Laurana once again showed a standard commercial smile on her face. She didn't have the slightest sense of being the head of the academy, and she had squeezed out the use value of her juniors and younger sisters during the conversation.

"I still don't quite understand why that Baron Saladin didn't sell the weapon directly to the Thunder Fortress military? He spent such a high price, what good is there to change hands from us?" El asked puzzled.

"Ah, people have said that it is a commercial secret... Of course, it is very simple to put it bluntly. The more advanced weapons like this are, the more maintenance they need. The fun will be great when it comes to replacement parts. Regardless of the Falcon or Oakland, it is impossible for the regular army to rely on this smuggling channel for their weapons and equipment. On the contrary, if it is a weapon that is originally part of their standard configuration, naturally there will be no Logistical support. The army is quite generous in this regard, so the arms smuggling business, as long as you find the right way, it will definitely be a wealth of money."

When talking about profit, the girl's eyes were shining slightly.This made El couldn't help sighing that a businessman is such a magical creature, regardless of age, gender and status, the only common interest is the level of profit.

Gao Wen's request for cooperation was very simple, that is, to clean up the ruins of the castle and find the excavated ancient tomb.Unlike the information obtained from Harirand before, they had definite evidence that the location of the ancient mausoleum was directly below the castle, and had no connection with the surrounding mines.

It is said that Franco once personally led the army to clean up the evil things in the ground. If there is any benefit, they have probably been searched for them.However, for Gao Wen, this place still has certain exploration value.

The preliminary agreement he reached with Laurana was only to hire the labor force here to clean up the ruins and pay a considerable salary.As for what can be found after digging, and how to divide the spoils after finding something, both parties have passed it tacitly.Smart people don't bother with this.

Although Gao Wen claims to be a fringe figure exiled by the Society of Truth, in fact, the energy he possesses cannot be underestimated.At least the Silver Ingot Castle behind Ackford was on the same front as him.Although he suffered some hardships from El and Laurana, he still did not give up his fight for the Night Watchmen.

It's hard to imagine how this guy got the token of General Hank's family, which also shows from the side that he still has a high-level communication channel in his hands.It's a pity that it is not good news to come with the token.

General Hanke's family has been loyal to the Truth Society for generations. From another perspective, such an ancient family itself is part of the foundation of the Truth Society.A family heir with silver talent like him should have become a famous star figure in the upper class of the kingdom, but for the inheritance mission of this organization, he was stationed in the dark underground ruins and spent his entire youth without any regrets.

If you want to doubt the loyalty of such a person, it is not only an insult to him personally, but also a complete denial of the object of his allegiance-this is why General Hank still cannot get out of this psychological shadow today.

Gao Wen was a very proud person, so proud that he didn't bother to lie in front of General Hank, even if the news he brought might make the other party completely despair of the truth.

"Fifteen days ago, the territory of the Hank family was invaded by the undead. The old Marquis led the troops to rise up and resist. After seven days of bloody battles, the whole army was wiped out... From the beginning to the end, they did not receive any form of support from the headquarters of the Truth Society. What remains is the family crest and a suicide note passed down through secret channels."

Even though he had expected it in his heart, at the moment Gao Wen told the truth, General Hank still burst the wine glass in his hand.The strong man clenched his teeth, letting the blood flow from the corner of his mouth, stared at Gao Wen, and only asked one sentence.

"why?"

Gao Wen hesitated to speak, and after a long silence, he slowly said in a low voice: "Because...the current Truth Society no longer needs us."

"Why?" General Hank repeated the same sentence with red eyes.

"The Truth Society that we swore to protect and were willing to dedicate our lives to, no longer exists. Now the Truth Society has been controlled by Pandora, and she is doing everything possible to erase all the glory we have created in the past thousands of years history."

"This is not a power struggle, nor a conflict of interest. The purpose of that woman is to remove all obstacles that stand in her way. Not only your family, or an army, but what she wants to destroy is the entire Kingdom of Auckland. !"

Even more... This is the last sentence Gao Wen didn't say.

The truth he knew was not limited to the information he told General Hank, but the deeper truth was not suitable for publicity.General Hank is undoubtedly a real soldier. For him, the most important thing is not the reason behind it, but the exact target of revenge.

"So, what is your choice? Do you want to stay in this refugee camp and wait to die, or take up your weapon and join us to protect this country and take revenge on that female devil?" Gawain stretched out his hand and asked. road.

General Hank didn't seem to hear Gawain's question, he tore off the wax seal on the parchment with slightly trembling fingers, held the last handwriting left by his father, and read it carefully.

Seeing the eyes of the tavern owner and the vicious maid looking over from afar, Gao Wen snorted coldly, his face gradually becoming gloomy.Although out of the most basic etiquette, the two sides have left enough distance for each other, but with the perception ability of those two silver ranks, it is not difficult to eavesdrop.

After reaching a preliminary cooperation intention, although he knew that the other party was also an ally that could be won, Gao Wen still did not have an in-depth communication with them. This was not only out of anger at being humiliated, but also a taboo against a certain lady .Under the deep gaze of that woman, Gao Wen always felt chills on his back.

I just don't know why they showed a laissez-faire attitude towards General Hank, as if they didn't care about his fate.Based on the lessons he had personally experienced, Gao Wen had sufficient reasons to doubt their true intentions.

"My father didn't ask me to avenge him...maybe he has forgotten that my son exists." General Hank put down the parchment and said with a wry smile.

"However, before he died, he still wanted to know what happened to the truth. Let me, an unfilial son, find the answer for him. I will join you as the heir of the Hank family , to avenge my family. But I will not force those brothers under my command, they are already free men and have the right to choose their own path."

　I have been working overtime for the past few days, so sorry for the lack of updates.It is said that only when you have been a teacher will you know that there are really pig-like students. The open-book exam allows you to copy the materials casually, and you can surf the Internet freely on your mobile phone, discuss freely, and hang around tables casually. Linear algebra papers, they really deserve to fail~
