Demon Sage

v4 Chapter 55: unexpected intruder

On the old parchment, there are some vague maps drawn with charcoal, and the overall content is some plausible iconic objects and the accompanying poems that are slightly mysterious and unclear.

Donald held the sliced ​​apple in his hand, biting it bit by bit, his eyes swept back and forth on the map.

Beside him, Anthony, Stephanie and the others are each dealing with the documents at hand, most of which are related to this time's plan, such as the transformation of the alien market, the proposal to establish a garrison in Renas City, and the underground forces. Intelligence Gathering...

Recently, the study room of the Taros family has become a public office. This is what Donald requested, because this will be a joint plan of various departments. It is easy to make mistakes in separate planning. It is better to gather them together. Solved on the spot.

"This is a sheepskin scroll specially obtained from some antique shops, and then drawn by the most famous cartographer on Reyna's side... The content expresses the message we want to convey as much as possible, the same scroll A few more were made, so you can pick and choose."

Huxley took out three scrolls from the square box one after another and spread them out on the table. The workmanship and content were similar, mainly just in case, so extra copies were made.

"It still needs a little processing."

When I stretched out my index finger, a gust of breeze blew the three scrolls up. When the people next to me put down their work and looked at them, various elemental energies flickered around the scrolls one after another in mid-air for about five minutes. It was only when Donald used his talent to extract all the energy.

Compared with before, the scroll at this time not only has wrinkles but also imperceptibly broken paper, which adds a sense of vicissitudes.

The so-called traces of time are nothing more than the erosion and changes caused by various elements to objects.

After some comparisons, Donald reached out and picked up the map in the middle. Without saying a word, he tore it into 6 pieces with uneven edges, and then found one of the maps that did not involve too much important information. burn.

After all these years, of course the map had to be damaged and "lost".

"Spread these pieces where they should go, two pieces will be left out, two pieces will be in the hands of Renas' underground forces, and one piece... in a place where everyone can find it. In this place, let them fight and fight, otherwise it will not be challenging, and it will be interesting to see some blood, and it will be interesting if everyone is friendly."

Putting the fragments into the box and handing it to Huxley, Donald turned around and walked to a notice board next to it. At this time, there were pictures of more than a dozen people on it, and there were clues to connect with each other in the middle. Knocked, the crisp sound attracted everyone's attention here, Donald continued,

"What we have to do is to control the general development direction of things, and let some details develop by themselves. I don't want this plan to become a precision instrument like a mechanical clock. With our current strength, we still do Not to control so many forces, not to mention that we are not complete with those who are about to get involved. The more we do, the easier it is to make mistakes. In fact, we just need to understand that there are those things that we must do. Just fine."

"I agree with Mr Mayor that rather than spreading out the forces at hand, it's better to focus them on a few joints to make sure the plan runs smoothly."

Anthony didn't like to call Serveit Talos very much, and often used Mr. Mayor instead.

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

......

dong dong dong~

The discussion in the study was about to continue, but the sudden knock on the door made Donald stop talking and look at Huxley, who immediately put down the box and opened the door to go out without letting anyone outside see the situation in the study.

After waiting for about 2 minutes, Huxley returned to the study with a solemn expression.

"What's the surprise?"

Donald, who noticed this, asked.

"Yes, there's something going on over there in Howling Forest."

Huxley glanced at Victor next to him, and stopped talking. The latter pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose a little embarrassed. At present, his position in Donald's team is undoubtedly the outermost.

"It's all my own here, there's nothing to hide... Private station?"

Donald didn't mean to embarrass Victor, he took the initiative to mention a sentence, and then continued.

When there was a problem in Howling Forest, the first thing he thought of was the private station currently under construction, which was a key part of his plan to revitalize Renas, so his face was also gloomy.

"The construction of the station went well, but the problem occurred in the Howling Forest. Our patrols in the forest found that there were exploration teams from other mining companies entering the forest, and there were a lot of them. They deliberately lingered near the mineral resource points we discovered. , I'm afraid he has bad intentions."

"Um?"

After hearing Huxley's report, Donald's face improved a little, but his nasal voice was still a little heavy when he asked the question.

Since getting the shares of Steve Mining Company, Donald has issued an order almost on the same day that the three teams within the company will immediately go to the resource point in Howling Forest to start preliminary preparations.

This matter cannot be concealed from the outside world. After all, it is a mining operation of hundreds of people. It is impossible to block the news. Donald is also prepared for this. The gift was connected with the name of the Talos family, and he also conveyed his appeal to the Talos family in the name of Serveit Talos on the imperial government side, and it should not take long for a reply.

Donald never thought that someone would dare to put his mind on the mineral resources he had planned for a long time at this time, and it was still a resource point in Howling Forest.

"Do you know whose team it is?"

No matter how bad the reputation is, the name Serveit Talos is still deterrent enough.

"I already have a general goal. I don't know if you still remember what happened at the auction at the Aldrich Dinner Party."

"Auction... The East German mining tycoon who is competing with me for Steve's shares? Impossible, that's a capitalist who dares not go against me... tsk, it seems Viscount Francis is very unhappy that he has lost the favor of two beautiful ladies!"

Just after a little thought, Donald understood what Huxley meant, squinted and put a piece of apple into his mouth, crunching.

The capitalists have money and a mining team, but they don’t have the help of the government. In terms of identity, they are very different from the Mayor of Renas, Donald. What he dares to do, he obviously found that he can at least make a name for himself. The man Serveit Talos wanted to contend against.

There is no doubt that Viscount Francis, who completely lost Steve's mother and daughter because he failed to control the mining company, is the best candidate.

"Master, because the Howling Forest is an uncontrolled area, we can enter, and people from other forces can enter, I'm afraid we can't expel them."

The so-called unregulated area, as the name suggests, is an area without any direct government agencies. Because the Howling Forest is a no-man’s land, and there are a lot of beasts inside, the local government doesn’t care at all, otherwise Donald wouldn’t be able to do it so easily. mine the resources.

Because of this, if Donald can go in for mining, people from other forces can naturally, and even if the other party makes it clear that they are looking for trouble, as long as they don't do it first, then there is no reason for Donald to drive them away.

If it is a strong operator, it will be easy to be caught. After all, Donald is the mayor of Rainas City, not the local sheriff in East Germany, and he has no right to control where others go.

If the mining tycoon discovers other resource points in the Howling Forest and occupies it in advance, Donald can't blatantly take it back, because he can't tell others that the Howling Forest is his territory and everything in it belongs to him. ...even if that's a given.

"I'm not going to trouble them~lightnovelpub.net~ Instead, they think they are easy to bully. These people must be cleaned up. If they find more things, it's really troublesome... .Have the road from the private train station to the mineral resource point in Howling Forest been cleared?"

"Not yet. Logging and road clearing require a lot of manpower. Construction is currently underway in Renas, so it may take a while."

Although he didn't quite understand why Donald suddenly asked this topic that sounded irrelevant to what had just been said, Huxley answered carefully.

"Exactly, tomorrow the three miners over there will be gathered together, and the government will also call a few people to prepare a sacrifice ceremony... I mean those ordinary sacrifices, I heard howling before. There are forest guardians in the forest, so the name of this ritual is to please the forest guardians. After all, if we want to exploit the resources in the forest in the future, we always have to say hello to others. As for those who do not understand the rules or are not religious enough It’s hard to say what the consequences will be.”

Serveit Talos can't do it, it doesn't mean that he, the master of Howling Forest, can't do it.

That is his territory, and no one wants to get involved!
