    Valenz's method of hiding his identity is indeed good, but it is only compared to those port guards whose strength is only about the first level. With Alvin's help in labeling his aura, Gross easily investigated his identity, and by the way, he also revealed his old background.  Checked it out.  When Gross returned to the Lionheart with Valenz's detailed information, Alvin basically gave up hope on the business. In his opinion, he was just a little bureaucrat, not to mention that he had not committed anything at all.  , there is no reason to escape, just because of his own status, he is not even the last elder, how can he have the confidence to avoid numerous surveillances and smuggle out a war giant lizard?  Although the business in the capital of Sulu is corrupt, the military cannot be equally bad, so there is no need to think about it anymore. This guy must be a spy, for sure.  After coming to this conclusion, although he was a little disappointed, Ivan was not worried about his own safety. After all, he and Warrenz only concluded a verbal agreement, leaving nothing on paper as evidence.  When Zi met, he paid special attention and did not find any tricks Valentz had done during the discussion, such as secretly recording magical images.  Although in many cases, there is no need for evidence to use force to suppress others, Ivan is confident that with a fifth-level mage like himself sitting on the Lion Heart, the elders of Sulu Capital City will definitely not rashly provoke a fight.  Considering that lizard-type monsters are really rare, Ivan decided to wait patiently at the port for two days in the hope of an eventuality. Although Valenz had a 99% chance of being a spy, he wanted to lure Ivan into being fooled.  You should take out a war monitor lizard as bait. When the time comes, Ivan will be ready to run away, grab the bait and run into the deep sea. I think these guys who are still using canoes will not dare to chase him into the deep sea together.  But the ending of this matter was really unexpected. What Ivan never expected was that Valenz was not a spy.  And he actually succeeded in going against the will one day later and brought over the egg of a war monitor lizard  Valenz is indeed a veteran, and his ability to take advantage of loopholes is astounding to Alvin.  Compared with the war monitor lizard, which is often four to five meters long, a basketball-sized monitor lizard egg is indeed easier to smuggle out. However, considering the extremely low reproductive success rate of the war monitor lizard, will this monitor lizard egg be successful in the end?  Hatching is still a question, so strictly speaking.  Valenz's task completion will be greatly discounted. Whether he passes the test or not depends on Alvin's own judgment.  After much deliberation, Alvin finally held his nose and let Valenz go.  Otherwise, what else can we do? Do we really don¡¯t want this giant lizard egg?  The reason why Ivan decided to stay was because he suddenly remembered.  In the small world, Shaher asked him for the female lizard over and over again. Considering that he had made great achievements recently, he had to reward him, so he changed his mind.  Although what Valenz finally brought over was only a giant lizard egg, if he didn't agree to let him on the ship, he might not even have this egg.  After taking Valenz and the small amount of luggage he carried aboard the Lionheart, Gross quickly ordered the ship to set sail.  The guards at the port watched the Lion Heart go away with calm eyes. They did not realize at all that the departing merchant ship contained a fleeing Sulu Capital City official and a more important weapon.  monitor lizard eggs.  When the Lionheart escaped from the waters controlled by Sulu Capital City, Valenz breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the giant lizard egg in his hand to Ivan.  After getting the monitor lizard egg, I checked it carefully and found no hands or feet on it.  Ivan was just satisfied and told Gross to send someone to take Valenz to the room prepared for him, and then quickly took it back to the small world and handed it to Shaher.  It was a long night with many dreams, and even if the hatching failed in the end, it would have to fail in the hands of Shaher, so he did not waste his two days of patient waiting.  Wait until Aiwen solves the problem with Shaher and return to the main world.  Half a day has passed.  When nothing happened, Alvin wanted to chat with Valenz about the North Coast. He opened the door and walked to the door of the room arranged for Valenz.  After knocking on the door, there was no response. I scanned the door with my mental energy and found that there was no one inside. I then expanded the scanning range and finally found his whereabouts. He was staying on the deck at the stern of the ship, seemingly facing  Looking in the direction of Sulu Capital City in a daze.  "Interesting!" Alvin smiled secretly, walked onto the deck and came to Valentz's side.  "What's wrong, Mr. Dom, why are you always staring in the direction of Sulu Capital City? Are you reluctant to leave your hometown?" Ivan glanced at him and saw that he didn't seem to notice his arrival, so he asked  .  "Ah! Master Ivan, I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you just now" Hearing someone suddenly speaking next to him, Warrenz suddenly woke up from his meditation. When he saw it was Ivan, he apologized quickly.  ? ??Don't worry about it.  "Ivan waved his hand. "Thank you for your understanding. However, Master Ivan, the name Dom is just a pseudonym I made up to avoid accidents. My real name is Valentzria Grislunana?  Rutherhead? Sedar My real name is too long, so you can just call me Valentz.  "Valenz said respectfully after a forced smile. Hearing the long and aristocratic name, Alvin's expression froze slightly, and then nodded: "It's understandable, then I'll call you Valenz.  Well, can you answer my question now?  " "Of course, Master Aiwen!  You ask me if I am reluctant to leave my hometown. Of course I am reluctant to leave my hometown. People are cheap when they leave their hometown. If there is no other way, who would want to leave their hometown!  Valentz's face full of scales revealed his true feelings, and he sighed: "Fortunately, I still have a relative in Midalon City, and I also have some literacy and accounting skills. I don't dare to be rich there."  It¡¯s too much to hope for, but it¡¯s still not difficult to make ends meet.  " "That's true.  "Ai Wen nodded. During these days, through constant inquiries, he discovered that the Alliance of Tribal Elders on the north coast has a looser organizational structure than the Demon Castle and Gate of Glory on the south coast. The city-states that make up the alliance  Based on differences in race, philosophy, law, etc., there would be fights from time to time. As for the wanted criminals in this city living happily in that city, it was indeed a very common thing after Valentz escaped to Midalon City.  You can live with peace of mind. Perhaps only a major event like the Holy War can eliminate the disputes within this alliance and unite most of the forces. After casually chatting for a while about the humanities and customs of Midalon City, the two of them had different topics.  His sleep returned to this transaction, and Alvin asked curiously: "Mr. Valentz.  As far as I know, you are not the elder of Sulu Shou City, so can you explain to me how you stole the giant lizard egg?  " "Master Ai Wen, to put it bluntly, it doesn't matter.  Valenz glanced at Alvin and said in a calm tone: "Just look at the luggage I brought on board. You will know that I am escaping this time."  In order to avoid trouble, I didn't bring too many gold coins with me, so I couldn't just throw away the gold coins that I couldn't take away, so I used them all to bribe the breeders of the war monitor lizards.  " Valentz's words may be an opportunity to hint to Alvin that he doesn't have much money on him, so he doesn't need to consider making money and killing people at sea. But Alvin has no such plan, so he doesn't  Not caring about his hint, he just asked incredulously: "After receiving the money, they dared to agree to let you take away a giant lizard egg?  ¡°No matter how much money I charge, they will never agree to such a thing, so I just lied to them and said that I wanted to visit the monitor lizard breeding farm.  Then he secretly wrapped a giant lizard egg with the prepared fake.  "Valentz explained simply. "That's it!  "Ai Wen nodded. This matter is indeed not complicated to put it bluntly, but the key lies in the specific execution. To come up with this plan in just one day and successfully execute it, whether it is courage or execution, or even  Preliminary connections, understanding of the target character, etc. are all very demanding. ¡°Valentz is a bit greedy, but his hands-on skills are really good, and he can even steal giant lizard eggs.  Thinking about it, it is not difficult for him, but it is worth trying to win over.  "Ivan thought to himself, and casually changed the topic. Although the north coast is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time. A fleet like Ivan with a territorial background cannot be like those traveling merchants, driving along the coast.  The coastline goes from city to city. Fleets like Aiwen usually take the route of bulk trading. Generally, in order to save time, after crossing the inner sea, they will only go to the nearest towns and then start dumping.  The ideal situation for such a fleet is to find one or several suitable towns as long-term trading partners, set up fixed trading points in the towns, and then arrange for personnel to be stationed in the trading points.  , to purchase or sell goods on their behalf in the long term, so that the profits of the voyage will not be reduced due to short-term dumping of goods or rush to buy specialties. Aiwen¡¯s expected goal has nothing to do with the number of trading towns, so it is enough to choose a town to establish a trading point.  Judging from what Ivan has investigated so far, the upper echelons of Sulu Capital City are very hostile to demons. They may gain a lot of profits from trading with them, but once there are no strong enough people to hold the line, things may change easily, so  It is not suitable as a fixed trade city. As for Midalon City, it is rumored that there is not much resistance to demons, so it can be considered. Since we start to consider building a fixed trade point, we must consider how to choose among the trade points.  The staff who stayed here told Aiwen from his past life experience that he should recruit from local areas.It is a good choice to have a large number of low-level employees and then send a small number of cronies to control the core power. Moreover, the small world happens to have cultivated a large number of talents in related fields. It is a pity that this method does not work on the North Coast.  Although Midalon City is not hostile to demons, human forces have the upper hand on the north coast after all. It is too dangerous to throw a few demons with sluggish fighting ability on the north coast.  Ivan can guarantee that as long as human merchant ships come to Midalon City, once they find a demon, they may not say anything on the surface, but they will definitely turn around and run for assassination. Once or twice, Ivan  The trade outpost set up on the north coast will only end up collapsing.  But if the person in charge of the trading point is also replaced by a local from the north coast, there will be no security issues.  The new question is, if the person in charge is also a local, what should we do if the government and businessmen collude to betray Aiwen¡¯s interests?  Ivan now wants to win over Valenz because through conversation, he feels that he is very suitable to be his agent.  First of all, his ability is good, at least enough to host a trading point; secondly, he is a local from the north coast, but not from Midalon City. If there is collusion between government and businessmen, the difficulty level will naturally increase by one; finally, he is burdened with  The crime of stealing war lizards, even if other cities wouldn't care about that.  But he will definitely not be used. If he wants to turn over quickly, he can only turn to Aiwen.  "But I just asked him for a war lizard egg. He didn't say anything, and he must be unhappy in his heart. If I send him an invitation now, even if he reluctantly agrees, most likely he won't do it seriously and will have to find someone else.  Just a chance." Ivan thought to himself. Although he was very satisfied with Valenz, considering that he might not be convinced by him, he didn't mention it.  After chatting for a while, I saw that there was no more intimacy in Valentz's tone.  Ivan decisively stopped the conversation and returned to his room.  Before that, Ivan quietly ordered Gross to slow down the Lionheart's speed. Calculated based on the position marked on the chart, it would take about two days to reach Midalon City at this speed.  Two days is not a short time, he has already given the opportunity.  It just depends on whether the fish will take the bait.  Back to the room, he took out the manuscript paper, wrote and scribbled, and carefully deduced the spell. About half a day later, Ivan was meditating when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the room, followed by a knock on the door.  Not too noisy but just enough to catch his attention.  "Come in!" Ivan sat upright in the chair, waved his hand from a distance, and the door handle automatically turned open with a snap.  "Lord, Captain Gross sent me to inform you that a small boat from Sulu Capital City is chasing you from behind. The man leading it claims to be an envoy sent by Elder Milgen from Sulu Capital City and hopes to see you!"  A crew member walked in from the door.  He stood a few meters away from Alvin and said loudly.  "A messenger sent by the elder of Sulu Shoucheng?" Aiwen's ears automatically ignored the specific name, and he felt a burst of joy in his heart. The opportunity he had been waiting for finally came.  It was not in vain that he ordered Gross to deliberately slow down the boat.  "Very good, tell Gross to stop the ship and bring the messenger to the deck. I will go up in a while." Ivan said.  "Yes, Lord." The crew member said respectfully, and then left quickly.  Ivan calmly organized the information on the table, and slowly drank the tea in the cup. The Lionheart had slowly stopped. It is estimated that Valenz had noticed the abnormality at this time, and it was almost over.  After getting the information clear, he left the room and walked towards the deck.  There were three alien men standing on the deck at the moment. Gross and a group of others were vaguely surrounding them. When they saw Ivan appeared, they dispersed and each walked to stand behind Ivan.  "Who are you? What do you want from me?" Aiwen looked at the leading beast-headed man with interest and asked.  "Dear Archmage, I am Lal, the envoy sent by Elder Milgen!" The beast-headed man was about level three in strength. Before Ivan appeared, he was standing on the deck with a proud face. Even though he was surrounded by Gross and others,  Surrounded by people, he didn't take them seriously.  When Aiwen appeared, he was shocked by his strength, and the arrogant expression of the animal-headed man finally calmed down.  "Elder Milgen?" Ivan shook his head with disdain: "I don't know you. What's the matter with him sending you here?" The beast-headed man Lal suppressed the anger in his heart, lowered his head and said: "My master, Elder Milgen  I was sent here in the hope that the respected Archmage can hand over the sinner Valentz in Sulu Capital City to me and let me take him away." As soon as these words came out, Ivan could immediately feel that Hua was in the cabin.  Lenz's breathing suddenly became rapid.  "Valentz, the sinner in the capital city of Sulu?" Ivan's heart moved and asked: "What crime has he committed?" "CorruptionBribery, malpractice for personal gain, collusion with lawlessness, and oppression of good people!  Lal said without hesitation: "So I hope you can hand him over to me, and let me take this sinner back for review and approval, and restore justice to the stained capital of Sulu!"  " Ivan looked at Lar, secretly admiring this guy's eloquence. At first glance, Valenz was simply the biggest sinner in the history of Sulu Capital. It would be unreasonable not to hand him over, but in reality,  It doesn¡¯t seem to be a big deal. These problems can be found in any low-level official or official. If Sulu Shoucheng really values ??him so much, why does it send so many people here? ¡°It seems that the giant lizard egg matter has not been resolved yet?  I found out that otherwise, this Lar wouldn't just be targeting Valenz. Even if he knew he was outmatched, he would have spoken out to test me long ago.  "Ivan thought. "I am a devil and have no interest in justice at all. I just want to know, if I hand him over to you, what will I get?  "Evan thought about it and wanted to let Valentz experience the feeling of despair. After despair, he can gain hope. Only the gratitude generated in that way will be unforgettable enough. Therefore, he did not refuse Lar's proposal and asked calmly.  "Dear Archmage, you can gain the friendship of Elder Milgen.  "Lal replied without hesitation. "How stupid must you be to consider friendship as a condition of exchange!  "Ai Wen was stunned and thought to himself, although he had never thought of handing Valenz over, but you should at least spend some real money here. If you want to take someone away with the words "Long Live Friendship", this is not the case.  It¡¯s so insincere, even if he wanted to make an excuse to stay with Valenz, he couldn¡¯t find a suitable excuse! ¡­¡­¡­ Thank you xiaotang246 for the reward.
