Lord Highlander

   Chapter 629 618. News from the Thieves Union

  Sophia yawned, wearing black linen loose-fitting trousers, her chest tightly wrapped with a linen bandage on her upper body, and she walked out from the corridor behind the bartender wearing a pair of slippers.

  Her body is well-proportioned, her upper body is quite fit, but her face is a bit ordinary.

"Why did you come so early?" Seeing Suldak, Sophia said to him, "I just sorted out the news that was sent last night, and it probably is what you want. "

  The bartender took out a plate of white bread and a piece of ham from the cupboard, sliced ​​them on a wooden board and placed them on the plate, and poured her another glass of milk. Sophia took it naturally, turned and walked into the room.

  The bartender moved out of the way, and Suldak walked in behind Sophia.

  Suldak was holding a plate of nuts in his hand, sitting in front of the table in the private room, and said to Sophia: "Just passing by, come and have a look!"

Sophia put the dinner plate on the table, turned around and went out, and brought back a booklet bound with parchment in a short time, and sat opposite Suldak, eating a sandwich while facing Suldak Ke said: "Now I'm going to talk about the current situation of the Gefiro family. As long as you go to the tavern outside and work hard, you can always collect this information. Therefore, you only need to charge one gold coin for sorting out these basic information."

After finishing speaking, she placed the booklet in her hand in front of Suldak, and opened the first page. It really recorded the founding time of the Gophero family and the patriarchs of the Gophero family in detail. Sophia introduced: "As a traditional force in Bena City, a veteran noble, his family still has a certain influence among the nobles."

  Bite the sandwich, Sophia explained to Suldak:

"However, the credibility of the Gophero family has almost fallen to the bottom. Everyone lacks the most basic trust in the current Earl of Gophero. The Gophero family has been declining in recent decades. Even the original plane The mine industry has also suffered frequent blows, and the Gophero family has no private army, so they cannot completely solve the troubles in the private plane. These troubles continue to increase, and more than half of the plane's industries have been shut down."

   "You mean the Gophero family is currently facing difficulties?" Suldak asked.

Sophia's expression was a little exaggerated, she took a sip of water, swallowed the food in her mouth, and then said a little exaggeratedly: "It's not just a predicament, if there is no way to improve the current situation, the Gopher family will probably leave Take the road of the Bradburys."

  Sofia flipped through the last few pages of the parchment and said:

"The current situation of the Gopher family is even more rotten than it appears on the surface. Recently, many investments in the family have frequently failed, especially after the outbreak of the war of planes. Investments on many planes have been forced to stop. Now Gopher The debt pressure facing the Luo family is very high, and it has almost reached the point where it has begun to sell the family property to pay off due debts."

She pondered for a while, and then added: "There are many members of the Gophero family, and Earl Gophero also raises dozens of rice worms who usually don't need to work and live a luxurious life. They are also members of the Gophero family. The last bad debt."

  …

  Suldak asked Sophia: "Can you comment on Count Gophero for me?"

  Sofia glanced at Suldak, and then Suldak remembered that there was a fee for the consultation, so he took out a gold coin from his wallet and handed it to Sofia as usual.

  Sophia took the gold coin, and immediately became more energetic, with bright eyes, and said to Suldak:

"He is the most useless patriarch of the Gophero family in the past, but he is still an arrogant paranoid. The series of actions he took after he took office not only failed to reverse the family's predicament, but also accelerated the decline of the Gophero family. One outrageous thing is that he did not hesitate to break with Marquis Luther and insisted on snatching a red copper mine, but that mine only completed preliminary exploration, and was forced to give up because of the unstable situation in the plane."

  Suldak didn't expect Earl Gophero's evaluation to be so bad.

Sophia added: "When he inherited the title, he once wanted to form a private army to expand the family's territory, but unfortunately many measures ended in failure. That's right, Earl Gophero is such a person. Young At that time, whether investing in mines or developing plane territories, they all ended in failure, and now they want to maintain the glory of the family..."

  Sofia looked at Suldak and said, "I have another piece of news."

  Suldak quickly took out a gold coin from his backpack and handed it to Sophia.

  Sofia continued: "Count Gophero has been in frequent contact with a southern lord recently, probably because he wants to help the Gophero family overcome the current difficulties through marriage and business cooperation."

  "The southern lord?" Suldak finally found the reason why Count Gophero was hostile to him—the southern lord.

Sophia nodded and said: "That's right, the representative of the southern lord has been staying in Bena City for nearly a week, and the first heir of the Gopher family, Baron Harvey Gopher, is leading the A representative inspects all the properties of the Gophero family in Bena City, and wants to find an opportunity for further cooperation."

  Suldak hurriedly asked: "Do you know the name of the representative of the southern lord?"

  Sophia's face was filled with the look of "I knew you would ask this way".

She said with some pride: "Of course, we not only found out the name of the representative of the southern lord, but also knew some of his background and current address. His name is Jack Kennelly, and he is a second-class baron. Kennelly The Li family is an old family in the province of Brancasa. It owns a vast land and has always been the largest slave owner in the area. It operates a large wheat field in the south and provides high-quality and cheap high-quality wheat flour for the Green Empire. It has nearly 70,000 people in its hands. Plane native slaves."

   "Where does this Baron Jack Kennelly live at present?" Suldak asked more curiously, and took out a gold coin again.

   As his competitor, he may have already won the full support of Earl Gophero.

  Suldak had a strong urge, he wanted to take a look at that Baron Jack Kennelly.

Sophia didn't hide anything, and told Suldak directly: "Baron Jack Kennelly lives in the same hotel as you! And Earl Gophero intends to marry the Kennelly family to strengthen the relationship between the two parties. However, it seems that this Baron Jack Kennelly has not taken a fancy to the daughters of Earl Gophero."

   "..." Suldak was speechless, he didn't expect to live under the same roof as that Baron Jack Kennelly.

Seeing that Suldak remained silent for a long time, Sophia coughed lightly twice, and said to Suldak: "Our thieves union still accepts assassination orders, or we can create a few rounds of unsuccessful assassinations... Scared him away, but the price of such an order is a bit expensive..."
