Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 27:

The origin of Baron Dahl’s wealth has always been a big mystery. The surrounding lords have been tracking this matter, but have never been able to find any reliable clues.

Of course there are still clues, and all the clues point to smuggling. But “smuggling” is more than just talking, it requires caravans and the circulation of goods on both sides. Among the lords around Darling, there are also people who know people in big cities like the capital, but they have never been able to find evidence that the barons of Darling bought and sold goods.

It’s not that Baron Dahl doesn’t do business, but that the businesses he does are normal and there is no problem.

But Sui Xiong is hard to come by. The fact that mortals can’t find clues doesn’t mean that Xiong brother can’t find them.

Just use a little bit of magic and read the heart of Baron Dahl

Then, he was a little embarrassed.

I couldn’t read it.

Baron Dahl’s strength is not strong, but he is carrying extremely high-level protective equipment. Spiritual attacks below the legendary level will not work on him at all. Even if the power is raised to the legendary level, although the protection of that item can be broken, it may not be able to read the mind well.

Of course, Sui Xiong can continue to improve his strength. As long as he recognizes the truth, let alone the mere mortal-level spiritual protection items, even those artifacts specially used for spiritual protection may not be able to stop them. But if you do this, it will be difficult not to leave a trace, which is inconsistent with his wishes.

Leaving traces is nothing, but leaving traces is easy to find. If it is discovered by another deity, it will be shameless to mention it at that time!

The gods are almost immortal. Unless the gods are defeated in the battle, even if the faith is exhausted, it can be solved by creating ethnic groups and opening up the world. In most cases, the battle between gods is actually just about face.

Of course, Sui Xiong is not willing to take the risk of losing face for this little thing, but with this small problem, how can it be so rare that the great Mask of the Void is so rare? As soon as he rolled his eyes, he figured out a way.

Look back in time!

No matter what Baron Dahl did, as long as he is used as the target to trace the time, from the present to the past, to trace it bit by bit, sooner or later the clue will be found.

Faced with this kind of magical power that can be called shameless, any concealment method is meaningless.

In fact, it didn’t use any “sooner or later”. Sui Xiong found the clue just ten days before the investigation.

“Hehe! This guy is really creative!”

After reading it, Sui Xiong couldn’t help but laughed, but it turned out that Baron Dahl dug a long tunnel under the castle, leading to the outskirts. His smuggling business is done through the tunnel, and he is cooperating with two organizations of a large scale, one of which is from the Gold Coin Federation, and the other is from the Big Swamp.

In fact, Baron Dahl plays almost the role of an intermediary in the smuggling industry. Whenever the two parties in the transaction have anything that needs to be sold, or what they want to buy, they will come to him to leave a deposit or Goods, and then he can get things done by contacting the other party, buying or selling.

At first glance, this thing is a bit weird, as if he is superfluous, and the two sides can completely abandon him and trade on their own. Even Sui Xiong felt a little puzzled, so he continued to investigate. This time it took much more time and mana than before. After investigating the incident for almost fifty years, Sui Xiong finally sorted out the causes and consequences of the whole incident and fully understood what was going on.

This matter is a long story.

Since the first generation of Baron Dahl, the Dahl family has been running a smuggling business. They do business with the tribes in the swamp, buy some rare materials, and sell those important war preparations.

There is no doubt that this kind of business is illegal. Especially the ones they sell are similar to military heavy crossbows, and once they are found, they are often destroyed.

However, as the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the benefit. Relying on this kind of knife-point trading, the Dahl family quickly accumulated a large amount of wealth.

About thirty years ago, the grandfather of the contemporary Baron Dahl, the old baron who was already old, accidentally got a treasure. This treasure can neither be used for attack nor defense. Its greatest use is to hinder Prophecy spells.

It is said that such a treasure should not belong to a baron and a smuggling merchant. The most appropriate way is to dedicate it to the big figures in the capital. But the old baron thought for a long time, and finally decided to keep this treasure that shouldn’t be kept in his hands, and specially arranged an underground secret room for it.

This work took almost ten years to complete. Since then, the Dahl family has expanded its business scope. They not only smuggle themselves, but also provide trading venues for other smugglers. As long as you trade in that secret room, you can effectively avoid prophecy spells.

Predictive spells are what smugglers are most afraid of. No matter how well you prepare, how careful you are, how careful you do things, you can’t help people directly use prophetic spells to track down. For this reason, all the treasures that can withstand the spells of prophecy are all invaluable, and they are priceless. Not only smugglers need them, but the big men need them even more!

This secret room of the Dahl family has a strange origin, but it doesn’t matter how it came from, what is important is that it is indeed effective.

A few years later, the Dahl family began to transform, gradually transforming from a smuggling merchant to a middleman in the smuggling business. This transaction is not only profitable, but also does not involve the entry and exit of goods at all, which is quite hidden. Therefore, even though the lords of the surrounding area have been staring at them, they can’t find any clues.

After more than ten years, the Dahl family’s wealth has accumulated more and more, and life has become increasingly luxurious.

In the eyes of Baron Dahl~IndoMTL.com~ this is naturally the result of his family’s wisdom and luck, and can be enjoyed for a long time. But in Sui Xiong’s view, the family heritage left by Baron Dahl’s ancestors is now not only a benefit of greatness, but also a crisis of greatness.

He doesn’t have deep knowledge in fields such as “destiny”, but just by looking at the evil black spirit rising from Baron Dahl’s castle, he knows that the future of this family will no longer be so glorious. Although it is only a good hope that the good and the good will repay the evil and the evil will be rewarded, but if you walk too much at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts.

Even without any predictive methods, Sui Xiong dared to bet that the powerful and powerful men must now be eyeing the Dahl family. The reason why he hasn’t done it yet may be because he is waiting for a perfect opportunity, or he may be discussing the issue of sharing the spoils.

But anyway, if the Dahl family doesn’t try to get the treasure that brings wealth and crisis as soon as possible, what awaits them will definitely not end well.

Although these had nothing to do with Sui Xiong in theory, Sui Xiong couldn’t help being aroused by curiosity, so he decided to stay temporarily to see when the Dahl family would be unlucky.

Of course, I can also help my priests, lest they are unfamiliar and suffer a big loss under their loneliness. ()
