Chapter 2410 Clues

"You want to know the overview of the territory? Of course."

As she spoke, Leah took out a map from under the table, unfolded it and placed it in front of Ender's eyes.

"Lord Rhodes's rule covers the entire Vilning. Even some areas in Diya actively surrender to Lord Rhodes. Among them, Saou City is the most important existence and is also Lord Rhodes' main city. "Leah's fingers crossed the map, making a rustling sound.

Ender nodded solemnly. Rhodes' control was greater than he expected.

"There are three mineral veins under development around Saou City, an iron mine, a silver mine, and a crystal mine. Under the undead creatures digging day and night, the silver mine is about to be exhausted. Despite this, those ores It is still not enough to meet the needs of Saou City. In addition to other city owners in Verning regularly providing ore, we will also purchase large quantities from the Freelance Chamber of Commerce."

"Do you have corresponding records?" Ander asked proactively.

Leah nodded, and soon, the Corpse Witch, who was sorting out the classics, brought over dozens of sheepskin scrolls, which contained transaction records about ores.

Ender quickly checked the contents on the parchment, and slowly, he frowned: "Strange..."

"What's wrong?" Leah asked proactively.

"You built a large golem factory?" Ender asked.

Leah shook her head: "No, why do you ask?"

"If it weren't for the Golem Factory, the size of Saou City would not be able to digest these ores." Ender analyzed. He pulled out a parchment and looked at the contents on it carefully. "According to the date above, the amount of ore you imported dropped sharply two months ago, which is in line with the limit level of Saou City. Did you transport the ore to other places?"

Listening to Ander's analysis, Leah's expression changed slightly. She did not tell Ender that not all of the ores were acquired for Saou City, but also included the part needed to develop the water elemental plane.

Two months ago, it was the time when Lord Rhodes discovered that the Elemental Lord had awakened, stopped the development of the island, and organized the evacuation of the creatures there. This was also the reason why the amount of ore purchased dropped sharply. Without the consumption of the island, Saou The city itself cannot use up all those ores.

Seeing Leah's troubled expression, Ander took the initiative and said, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask this question."

"No, since you joined Saou City, you have the right to know all this." Leah shook her head, ready to tell the truth.

"...You'd better stop talking." This time, it was Ander who was in trouble. Regarding the secrets of the City of the Undead, he just asked casually, not wanting to get to the bottom of it. The more he knew, the more difficult it would be to escape. This was not the result he wanted to see. From Leah's dilemma, he faintly understood Realized, that might not be a good thing.

Unfortunately, Leah did not see his thoughts, but said: "Lord Rhodes' territory transcends space and extends to an alien plane full of oceans. Those extra ores are just to develop that The island next to it, but unfortunately the project stopped two months ago, and the ocean woke up."

Ender hesitated to speak, was Leah talking about the water elemental plane? That Rhodes actually reached out to another dimension? What does it mean when the ocean wakes up?

Seeing that Lia might not be able to escape if she continued talking, Ander quickly interrupted her: "Why don't you show me the other transaction records? These are just the part about the ore."

Hearing this, Leah did not refuse. From Ender's previous performance, she also saw Ender's talent, and then asked the Corpse Witch not far away to bring over a heavy tome.

"This is all the financial records of Saou City, including previous ore information, which are all recorded in detail."

Placing the tome on the long table, Leah was just about to explain to Ender the corresponding contents of each area, when Ender couldn't wait to read through it.

"Did you copy all the contents on this?" Looking at it, Ander seemed to have discovered something and asked proactively.

Seeing Leah nodded, Ander continued: "Have you ever worked in the Freelance Chamber of Commerce? These accounts are clearly organized, and the symbols that refer to goods are also commonly used within the Chamber of Commerce. Only people in the Chamber of Commerce can use them skillfully."

"That happened in the past." Leah showed a look of recollection, "I left the Freelance Chamber of Commerce after Noah was born, and when he was reborn, I officially served Lord Rhodes."

Ender seemed to have thought of something: "Where's Noah's father? I don't think I've ever heard you mention this."

Leah sighed: "He left, saying that he wanted to imitate Lord Rhodes and gain strength and power."

"So, he's looking for his own value, which is a good thing, isn't it? We all have..."

Just in the middle of Ender's words, he was interrupted by Leah: "For what it's worth, he never appeared next to Noah. Maybe he was dead long ago, just like those undead creatures. If I can If I see him again, I’m going to kick his ass.”

Seeing Leah's strong reaction, Ander wisely did not say anything more, but carefully browsed the accounts in his hand.

Slowly, Ander's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and his movements of turning pages became slower. He had confirmed the content of each page many times. When he found that he had not missed any key items, Ander couldn't help but take a breath. Air conditioning.

"With all due respect...Lord Rhodes, is he planning to start a war?"

Closing the financial records in his hand, Ender's expression changed several times before he finally squeezed out this sentence through his teeth.

"Maybe, how do I know?" Leah spread her hands.

"Of course you should know." Andre said with a lifeless look, "You are in charge of the finances, which is equivalent to being in charge of the mouthpiece of Saou City. No one knows every move in the city better than you. Saou City has recently consumed a lot of reserves. Doesn’t gold coins, to purchase war resources, arouse your vigilance?”

Leah looked confused: "Even so, it doesn't mean anything. There are a lot of traces of demons all over the world. Maybe Lord Rhodes is preparing to resist the demons."

"If that's the case, why did he spend millions of gold coins to buy space gems?" Ender opened the book in his hand, pointed to one of them and asked, "This is a trick commonly used by mages. Build a teleportation monument to strengthen control over the occupied land. However, even so, these space gems are too many...Does he have other plans?"

Seeing Ander frowning and falling into deep confusion, Leah couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that the interior hall of Saou City would undergo new changes due to his arrival.
