Chapter 1482 Purpose
Chapter 1482 Purpose
”Help?” Zeno stared eyeball to eyeball with Landon. “How exactly will you be helping us?”Landon calmly leaned close to Zeno’s ears. “I’m afraid that’s a secret that only your Crown Prince is aware of.”
The crown Prince?
Zeno’s body instantly froze.
Were these people the guests of his royal highness?
Zeno was about to question them further when Landon suddenly placed something in his hand.
Good paper!
Zeno held the paper with curiosity, reading through it word for word.
And when he was done, he couldn’t help taking a few glances at the stranger before him.
’So this man was a monarch? And he also speaks Zol too?’ Zeno inwardly questioned.
You must know that Roma and Zol were 93~95% similar, with a few distinct differences.
The similarity in language was why people from the dark-toned people of Romain and the blue-toned Zohl married one another blissfully.
Their Merchants also had a sound trading system going on. And all in all, the 2 continents were very close, though some empires within each continent went to war with others.
But for these matters, royal marriages often tied them together, settling their enmity for the next few years.
Zeno was still astounded by the stranger’s Zol language, as though he had been living in Zohl since birth.
How intriguing.
.
The document was just something that proved Landon’s identity, though it didn’t directly state which continent he came from.
But, it did state their purpose of coming to Titarian. It looks like this strange empire called ByLander, was here to establish official trade with Titarian for some rare ores.
It seems they needed large amounts of the ores, hence their willingness to form official trades with the Titarian empire.
Zeno couldn’t help thinking of the ores listed. Were these ores somehow involved with the making of these strange carriages?
(?^?)
Trade… Official trade with the empire and not specific merchants.
This would be nice money for the Titarian empire to yield.
In that case, if he delayed these people any longer, wouldn’t the royals more or less get dissatisfied with him?
Of course, there was also a possibility that these people were lying. But even so, there was no way they would be able to go against everyone once they reached the Capital.
Do you know how many clans and noble times have their roots firmly planted in the Capital?
From main branches to side branch descendants, many were all stationed there, not to talk of the knighthood academies and even the many knights under each noble.
Bottom line, no matter how many of these visitors stayed in these metal carriages, Zeno thought it impossible for them to go against everyone.
Yes.
Seeing the sword hanging by Landon’s side, Zeno and many others had already assumed that these guests protected themselves with swords, arrows, Spears, spiked hammers, and every other ordinary weapon.
Of course, even if they didn’t see a sword by Landon’s side, they would still make the same conclusions.
After all, what other weapons apart from ordinary ones could they think of?
Heh.
The only thing that might be concerning would be black powder which all nobles had.
In Zeno’s opinion, there wasn’t much these visitors could do against many in the Capital who supported the Crown Prince.
.
What was written on the note?
Many wished they could stretch their necks far to see what could’ve made the mighty City Lord Zeni freeze up the way he did.
Even Murdoch, hidden away, also wished to snatch the letter to see what it was about.
Dammit!
Curiosity was getting the better of him.
Murdock stared at the other few men beside him.
”You 3… After this, contact the spies in the City Lord’s Palace. You’ll be going in.”
”Yes, master.”
”Good.”
Many hidden assassin guild masters also made such decisions.
What was their job? Collecting information!
No matter the cost, they must get City Lord Zeno to speak about what he saw.
Additionally, they also wanted to know what the visitor had whispered into his ears.
They felt the information weighed far more than several chests of his stacked together… Especially the written one.
Their blood boiled the more they thought of it.
If they could get the info, do you know how many nobles would rush to buy it off from them?
What was the most important thing in this era? Information!!
They lived and breathed off it.
With burning gazes, many stared at the document in Zeno’s hand.
(*×*)
Must have it!
.
Closing the document, Zeno handed it back to Landon.
”I’m sorry for holding you up, your majesty Lai.”
”Hmmm… It’s alright.” Landon waved casually. “City lord Zeno, if it’s alright with you, I’ll be leaving a few of my men here to wait for some goods from Romain to arrive. But don’t worry. They’ll be on the ships and will sail out a distance away from the docks, not to disturb the usual operations around the parts. .”
”Not a problem, your majesty, Lai. I understand.”
”Then I thank you for that, “
Landon smirked.
These people didn’t know, but all this time, the underwater team should’ve long reached the forest coastline and would soon begin infiltrating the city.
For now, they couldn’t trust anyone… Not even this city lord.
And quite frankly, they didn’t want to waste time conversing with potential enemies.
In the end, they gather information for themselves.
The T.O.E.P were definitely in Titarian by now.
And even though they weren’t bothered about their technology exposure, this was a rare opportunity to gather more information on this strange society and find documents about their next plans of action.
In the end, doing this would also help the chosen boy to eliminate potential dangers and traitors to Titarian’s empire.
Sigh… Landon had already accepted that he was not only a babysitter for the sons and daughters of the heavens, but also a clean-up guy for all their worries in this world.
What more could he say?
