Chapter 124 – Reasonable Forgery
The southern suburb of Granite Town.
The medium-sized airship renamed “Fire Copper” landed stealthily in the woods.
Because of the magic circuits engraved on the deck in advance, its camouflage was much better than that of the Floating City.
It was only when you got five or six meters closer that you would realize there was a huge thing hiding here.
“This here is all yours.”
Heine patted Tower on the shoulder.
“Don’t let me down, I want to see the Frey family in Granite Town three days from now who have confessed their crimes, not your body hanging at the mouth of the town as an example to others.”
“I won’t let you down!”
Tower gave a serious salute.
Heine looked at Tuba again:
“Have you heard the ‘Voice of the Earth’ here?”
The old dwarf, who had had a stony expression ever since he entered the mountains of Makara, shook his head when he heard him ask that.
But then puzzled, “I can’t feel any guidance here, but the elements are unusually …… light and active.”
He held up the string of stone beads in his hand.
The earth-colored glow on it was even brighter than when it was visible to the naked eye in Eaglewing City.
It even condensed into a thin layer of rock outside ……
“Then you study it first, and I’ll come back to you afterward.”
“Yes, my lord.”
After leaving the Cornu people, as well as the Fire Copper Street crowd that was armed to the teeth, Heine took the others on a private airship and headed straight to the lord’s mansion.
After getting down from the airship, he heard several people lamenting.
General Sa: “Finally a bullish carrier, no longer afraid of being killed by someone killing my horse halfway down the road.”
Wei Temple Iris: “Ah? How come there are still horse hunters?”
Mr. Xia: “Don’t say it, Mr. Sa’s horse died after he evaluated the carrier last time, with his broken mouth, I guess this airship will have to get into trouble soon.”
Catch the Goat: “You really don’t say, now only Mr. Sa can fly alone, and he won’t die in the crash, he doesn’t really want to screw his brothers and then gross our equipment, right?”
Wei Temple Iris: “Suggest to notify Heine to investigate strictly, later he entered the fish tank first, don’t be taken over by Sa something or other.”
Sa General: “Good guy, all targeting me right? I think you guys are just jealous!”
…
Heine didn’t hurry to let them go to bed, but first got Arthur here, and put all the “captives” except the bronze mirror under strict guard, before taking the four to the fish pond.
The warrior brother has been used to him going out and bringing back a bunch of good things or people.
However, even if he is this kind of thick line, after stepping on the airship, the angular face also showed a complete shock.
“Boats turned out to be able to fly in the sky as well ……”
Brother Warrior muttered.
Heine said “cities” can actually fly in the sky ……
…
After dealing with the prisoners, he personally took the lead in transferring the ship’s property to the lord’s vault.
Simon said that these things are all considered stolen goods for the time being, it is not good to get out of it, we have to wait for the heat of the Eagle Wing City to pass.
“What about the grain? Based on the calculation that fifteen hundred elven refugees will join Greenleaf Town in the next three months, I need you to buy a batch of grain while bypassing the Lion King, how much will it cost?”
Heine asked.
Simon: “I was actually thinking about this just now, it would probably cost about 20,000 gold coins worth of nuggets.”
After saying that he sneaked a look at Heine’s face, seeing that he was not commenting, he hurriedly explained:
“The thing is like this.
“First of all, the fact is that the so-called Lion King’s Trade Network is essentially the standardized use of Void Sacs.
“The mages of the House of Truth have created two models of Void Capsules, private and business, both of which solidify a portion of space from the void.
“The former has stable space and low corrosive void energy, but the space is small and expensive, usually only 1-2 cubits.
“The latter has fluctuating space and high corrosiveness, but the space is huge and cheap, and the smallest model is 2x2x5, or 20 cubic meters.
“Void sacs don’t need to consider weight when transporting goods, they only need to consider volume and corrosion resistance, so they have a huge advantage when transporting dense and stable goods, such as minerals and armor. “But on the contrary, transporting food, or textile raw materials such as cotton and furs would be more than worth it, and as for rare materials, they must be transported privately, so the transportation cost of food is high.”
Good lord, really high-tech transportation?
Heine pondered, “The so-called trade network refers to special people carrying business void sacs, saving a large amount of transportation costs?
“So the convenience of the Void Sac makes it difficult to trade large quantities of goods without an effective logistics industry outside of the mountains?”
Simon muttered in his heart as he listened.
He didn’t expect Heine’s reaction to be so fast, what had he learned in the Buried Bone Land?
He was busy nodding his head, “Yes, that’s the reasoning, so there’s no way to get around it at all.”
Heine: “Then what are you going to do?”
Simon: “I can make up a non-existent speculator, while weaving in a hidden deal between ‘him’ and Goldtooth to legitimize the source of the money, and the dead are gone anyway.
“While the Lion King doesn’t allow us to engage in underground commissions, much less use the Business Void sacs for personal use, this sort of thing is common enough that there’s no need to worry about getting caught in the crossfire.
“I happen to know one or two mules who are short of money on their hands – I mean, we call these guys who use void sacs mules.”
Hearing this, Heine understood it all.
The money’s was this mysterious speculator’s start-up capital, and it was also going to be used to make connections to maintain contacts.
Luckily, he didn’t act rashly, but pulled Simon into the fold.
He really couldn’t have exploited the trade loophole on his own.
And judging from Simon’s behavior, now he was the one who was worried about not being trusted.
It seemed that he would have to find a way to deepen their trust.
Let him scare himself like this, and sooner or later the strings of sanity would break.
“I’m happy with the plan, let it go.” Heine said.
Simon: “Then please name this mystery man.”
“Rick Exley.”
Heine thought for a moment and replied.
Though the molding was rotten, the creator’s name was little known.
Besides, it was a common name, so even if it was recognized, it was just a coincidence.
……
Gitler Manor.
Dylan was drying things in the yard when he suddenly felt something intrude into his sensory range.
Then it went dark.
The airship drove directly over his head and then slowly landed in front of him.
“Hi, my dear Mr. Dylan!”
Heine waved at him.
Dylan looked at the dwarves on the ship and was instantly exasperated and laughed.
“Holy light, elves, then dwarves.
“Shouldn’t you just bring the orcs to me next time?”
“You take it easy for a moment, look at this.”
Heine yanked off the cloth covering Eli’s body and showed him the massive, white-boned body.
Dylan’s eyes instantly went straight.
“What kind of magical beast is this ……?”
“That’s a Wind Harnesser, it usually doesn’t have the chance to grow this big, it could only be the Hawkwing Dwarf’s sacred beast Eli.”
Barry came out of the room and added with an expressionless face.
It was quite a bit of hatred.
But when his gaze came to Heine’s face, it was instantly replaced with a pleased look
“Looks like you brought back quite a few surprises.”
