Ezreal followed Gus and communicated with Gus, getting a lot of information about Marrow Seal City from Gus.

Gus didn't want to say so much originally, but Ezreal's words vaguely revealed that the other party knew that they were well-informed.

"Thank you very much for your help."

Ezreal also knew that the information he obtained from Gus was obtained through threats.

The most important thing for an explorer is intelligence, and certain families in the Deno Empire also have strong intelligence networks. One of these families is the business family.

During his travels, Ezreal sought information from those merchants more than once. Some merchants looked kind and aloof, but seemed powerless and even bullied by beggars.

.

Who could know that such a businessman is actually a son of a noble family? If Ezreal's family of adventurers had not been in frequent contact with those business families and were deeply involved, he would not have known this and would have only regarded that businessman as someone special.

Quite cowardly.

But people just use that image to glean information.

Gus said that the Clark family is a business family. Gus was able to find out that he was coming to this city immediately and even greeted him at the city gate. This proved that the Clark family did have strong intelligence capabilities and was worthy of the name of a business family.

So, it's not too much for Gus to come to the door and let him get some information, right?

"Wherever, sir, if you still need my help, please tell me."

Gus doesn't feel that he has suffered a loss. The most important thing for a businessman is intelligence, but he also needs to pay attention to fair transactions. Only businessmen who have made their fortune from scratch are qualified to be profiteers. Business families cannot be profiteers, because every family in Shurima continent has

They have deals and have many other business families as competitors.

If a family cheats a family, a large number of them will choose to terminate the transaction. Compared with transactions with common people, trading with nobles can allow them to gain greater profits.

However, fair transactions are not absolutely fair. The value of some things is difficult to measure. If the Clark family has a good reputation, other aristocratic families are willing to sell it at a low price. If the Clark family has a bad reputation, no matter how high the price is, other aristocratic families will not trade.

.

The reason why aristocratic families are aristocratic families is because they have enough foundation to ruin families for hundreds of years. In terms of money, they may not be as good as one-tenth or even a few-tenths of those business families, but some things can be

It does not exist in the form of money.

Some ancient books, ancient cultural relics, unmined mineral veins, land deeds for farmland, and the military and power controlled by other aristocratic families.

No matter how much money a business family has, how about you? If you piss off other families, they will increase your tax rate every minute, set a price ceiling, and legally force these business families to change their development direction.

Not convinced? Then let's have a fight. Many aristocratic families still retain the tradition of military honors. I can't beat you in terms of money, but do you think the soldiers under my command can kill you?

Although Gus gave Ezreal a lot of information, he also obtained a lot of information from Ezreal. For both parties, the existing intelligence was not very high.

The value of unknown information is extremely high. The exchange of information between him and Ezreal can be regarded as mutually beneficial.

"There is no need for you at the moment. If I need help, I will let you know."

Ezreal will not put his attitude down low. On the one hand, he is now a minister under Sima Yi, the emperor of the new country. How can he be so respectful to the steward of a noble family? On the other hand, he himself is very talented.

I don't care about the stewards of these families.

He is the eldest son of his family and the appointed heir of the family. Even though he has the idea of ​​leaving the family to his younger brother and wandering around on his own, his younger brother is not willing to take over the "mess" of the family.

Ezreal is facing a huge problem at home. His father can't wait to hand him over as the head of the family, leave all the negotiations between the families to him, and then run away.

Go out and explore.

Ezreal didn't want to. He also wanted to pass the blame, but his brother had already disappeared. When the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy found out that Ezreal had this intention, he immediately took a few of his

The servant slipped away to explore.

In other words, if nothing else happens, Ezreal himself will be the head of a noble family, and his status is barely on the same level as the Marquis of the Clark family. There is no need to be too respectful to Gus.

"I'll take my leave first."

Gus doesn't need to call himself a "villain". He is also a powerful figure in Marrow Seal City. The arrogance he has cultivated for decades will not let him belittle himself in front of others, that is, when facing Bacon Clark.

Only then can he use the title of "villain".

However, Ezreal's attitude made Gus think of many questions.

He is the butler of the Marquis. In the previous exchange, he also told Ezreal what he used to manage in this city. In terms of status, most of the heads of the aristocratic families in Marrow Seal City are not as good as him.

, and Ezreal’s unpretentious attitude made him understand that Ezreal’s identity might be extraordinary.

In the next few days, Guts did not come to see Ezreal. After confirming that Ezreal was a subordinate of the emperor, Guts could rest assured that Ezreal would stay in the city.

Moreover, through conversation, he also discovered that Ezreal, a character with extremely high martial arts, was not as vulgar as other warriors. He behaved like a noble, and he was a dissolute noble son.

With a noble status, extremely high force value, and licentious behavior, Gus felt that Ezreal might be the son of Emperor Sima Yi. Although he was not a prince, but he was resurrected by Emperor Sima Yi, he should be his very favorite son.

After making this guess, Gus did not intend to have anything to do with Ezreal. The Clark family is a business family, so just put their tentacles in the business field. If they extend too long, they may be used by others.

Targeted by the family.

Judging from the situation before the New Kingdom, the princess should inherit the empire in the future. However, Ezreal is Sima Yi's son. In terms of seniority, even if he is not the legitimate son, the princess will inherit the throne.

Before.

After all, when the City of the Sun was destroyed by Zhuge Kongming, the descendant of Emperor Sima Yi who escaped was not the prince. What is his specific identity?

It's hard to say, but judging from the second emperor's actions of repeatedly killing those who were trying to investigate his biological mother, it seems that the status of the second emperor's biological mother was not high, and even made people feel ashamed.

As a result, will this empire stage a struggle for the throne? The Clark family is unwilling and unable to get involved in this muddy water.

As for Ezreal, he took advantage of this period of time to carefully select the talents in this city. Although there is no limit to the number of people he wants, his ability must be recognized by Ezreal before he can be selected by Ezreal.

You are recruited into the team.

Considering that the beasts on the Titan Mountains in this world line are too great a threat to ordinary people, and Ezreal himself has to enter the ruins again, he cannot bring too many people up there.

There are more people, there is more movement, and the strength is uneven. The weak people die easily, and the smell of blood will attract a bunch of beasts. At that time, more people will leave, and Ezreal will enter.

As for the ruins, there is not that much time to protect these people. Similarly, if there are too many people, they may not be able to enter the ruins. What if the ruins are not big enough?

Or the ruins are so old that the load-bearing capacity of some places has been greatly weakened. If a large force is sent in to investigate the situation, a group of people may be buried.

From this, there was first a preliminary test, then a retest, and finally another test. After three tests, Ezreal selected four people. This number was quite a lot for a team that wanted to sneak into dangerous areas to explore ruins.

Already.

It's like sneaking into an enemy country to steal intelligence. If there are more people, you will be discovered soon after entering. No matter how concealed you are, once the number of people increases, the concealment will be greatly reduced.

The same is true in the mountains and forests. No matter how well you hide your breath, hide your body, or cover up your smell, if there are more people, there will be traces left.

Ezreal led four people over. Except for one woman who was at level three, all four of them were at level four, and one of them was close to level five.

At the same time, they each have their own areas of expertise and can play a big role in the exploration of ruins.

...Well, except for the woman, the other three people all have very rich experience in wild survival. Ezreal does not ask how accurate their wild survival experience is or how useful it can be, but with those experiences, this

The three of them will not act recklessly,

As for the woman, Ezreal said that he would take good care of the girl.

If it weren't for the fact that the woman did possess knowledge that Ezreal didn't possess, and Ezreal couldn't find anyone else who possessed the same knowledge, Ezreal would actually still be unwilling to take a girl out. The reason wasn't

In addition, it is precisely because of this girl's identity.

This is an aristocratic girl, a 17 or 18-year-old aristocratic girl. It can be seen that she is well-educated. However, the age of 17 or 18 is when curiosity is strong. This girl ran outside to explore at the age of 17 or 18.

The curiosity may be stronger than other young people.

Taking this girl with him, Ezreal felt that he would encounter a lot of trouble, but there was no way. Only this girl knew the knowledge he needed, and no one else knew the secret knowledge at all.
