Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 341 [Soul and body double points] (thanks to book friend 140618 for the February ticket)

Oak Town is a medium-sized town with more than 1 permanent residents. It is located on the traffic artery between Palomia and Delphi Fortress.

There are six or seven large and small villages scattered around Oak Town, which is a very prosperous town.

February 5 at 31pm.

Zhu Taran and [Blade Druid] Dalia Bladesong appeared in the south of Oak Town.

The current Dalia and Zhu Taran are both in human form.

Dalia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the walls of Oak Town appearing in her field of vision:
"Old Zhu, we finally arrived in Oak Town! If you didn't waste time on the road, we should have arrived four or five days ago!"

Taran Zhu and Dalia left River Beach Town 10 days ago.

Because there was more time, Zhu Taran stayed in Yorn City and Palomia for a long time.

Before leaving, Sean sent him 2000 gold coins as travel expenses, and Zhu Taran used the money to buy a lot of information in the black markets of the two cities.

Moreover, Zhu Taran also tried out a few seedlings that could be cultivated as spies, and gradually cultivated them in the future.

……

The way to train civilians to become spies is simple.

Just find a bookmaker or bard who can write, dictate to them to write some words, and then say "What you wrote is confidential, you must be obedient, or you will be reported!"

One out of ten of these people was afraid, and there were a lot of gold coins to get, so a spy was developed to go offline.

Moreover, in this rudimentary agricultural society, the development of spies is very fast, and it is extremely difficult for "Shun Teng Papaya" to catch spies (except for Anduin).

So Zhu Taran recruited a lot of spies to go offline in the two big cities, which took four or five days.

"It's okay, Dalia, it's here!"

Zhu Taran smiled:

"However, Oak Town is very special now. All major forces in the principality should send people over to collect first-hand information, so we have to be more careful!"

"Got it!" Dalia shrugged: "You have told me this sentence several times on the way here!"

"That's because I don't trust you, you only have a bronze median..."

In the middle of speaking, Lao Zhu suddenly stretched out his index finger and put it next to his mouth to make a "shh" gesture, and then pulled Dalia into a side road beside the avenue.

Dalia didn't say anything, and followed Zhu Taran obediently.

Zhu Taran waited silently in the fork in the road, and he was relieved until a sneaky professional thief passed by and left.

Then, Zhu Taran kept shuttling back and forth in the path, looking at the various houses around him.

Walking to a remote alley in the north of the town, Zhu Taran stopped in front of a very simple looking house, and nodded:

"It's here!"

"What is this place?" Dalia asked curiously.

Zhu Taran explained: "I cultivated a young spy in Palomia. This is his uncle's residence. His uncle is very greedy for money. We can buy the house."

While talking, Zhu Taran stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Hearing a knock on the door, a drunkard Hong Hong's head protruded from the door.

"I'm a passing businessman, and I want to buy your house." Zhu Taran said.

Without further ado, the drunkard wanted to close the door.

Zhu Taran stretched out five fingers, "500 gold coins."

The alcoholic's face immediately changed: "Ah, please come in quickly, distinguished guests! It's really too hot today..."

The drunkard hurriedly welcomed Zhu Taran and Dalia into the house.

After 10 minutes, the alcoholic happily left the house with a large bag of gold coins.

Dalia was staring at the land deed and house deed in her hand in a daze: "I didn't expect, I wish you would buy this place so quickly."

"This location is quite good, it can be used as our 'Shado-Pan' stronghold in the future."

Zhu Taran looked at the old and dilapidated house and nodded with satisfaction.

Dalia used the druid's ability to communicate with the plants in the courtyard of the house, and after confirming that no one else was around, she said:

"Old Zhu, should you tell me about that?"

"What matter?" Zhu Taran didn't react for a while.

"It was when I left River Beach Town, I asked you, 'Why did your lord send me to Oak Town with you', and you told me after you arrived in Oak Town."

Dalia crossed her waist: "Now we have arrived in Oak Town, you should tell me!"

"You said this! I almost forgot." Zhu Taran scratched his furry head:
"Do you know why my lord asked me to come to Oak Town to find information?"

"This. Because you are good at scouting information?" Dalia guessed.

"It's not all like this. The main reason is because of an ability of our monk profession called [Double Soul and Body]. Let me demonstrate it to you."

([Soul and body double points]

Instant cast, 10 second cooldown.

Separates your body from your soul, leaving the body in place and the soul free to move for 15 minutes.Use soul-body double division: transfer, you can exchange your soul and body. )
Zhu Taran roughly demonstrated this skill to Dalia, and then said:

"After using this ability, my soul can break away from my body to explore the surrounding situation, this is the best intelligence detection skill.

With this ability, I can get close to two sanctuary powerhouses and eavesdrop on their conversations. "

Dalia suddenly understood: "Then the lord asked me to come together, probably because he is afraid that your soul will be attacked after leaving the body, so let me protect you?"

"That's right!" Zhu Taran nodded, "My body is extremely fragile when I use [Soul-Body Split], and I will need your protection when the time comes."

"Don't worry! I will definitely protect you!" Dalia laughed.

In the following time, Zhu Taran and Dalia used the purchased house as a base to search for news around them.

All major intelligence agencies in the Principality know how important tomorrow's negotiations are, so Oak Town is full of spies.

Lao Zhu and Dalia accidentally even asked about the "colleagues".

However, after spending some effort and gold coins, they still figured out the general situation.

Now Alexander Ryan has arrived in Oak Town, in the military camp north of the town.

Alex Violet and an emissary from the Camellia family will also arrive in Oak Town this evening.

Lao Zhu and Dalia returned to the stronghold after checking the information respectively. After communicating with each other, they prepared to take action tonight.

"Tonight is a very important night." Old Zhu said to Dalia with a serious expression:
"Although the formal negotiations will only start tomorrow, I estimate that Alex Violet and the messengers of the Camellia family will go to Alexander Ryan to negotiate terms in advance tonight."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Let's go to the military camp in the north tonight, just sit back and wait." Old Zhu said confidently.
