Yes, critical situation.

After losing the defensive core of the mage tower, Snowbird Port's weakness was completely exposed.

Snowbird Port was visited by the Vegetable Basket Pirates. The city suffered heavy losses, and the city lord's palace was destroyed by the bombing. But on the other hand, there was huge wealth in other parts of Snowbird Port, and none of it was plundered.

"The Mage Tower must be rebuilt as soon as possible!" The Lord of Snowbird Harbor shouted in his heart.

Building a mage tower may or may not be a long-term project. The key is that the money is in place.

It is unlikely that a mage tower can be built in two or three days. But a week is totally possible. Because this is the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, this is the country with the best alchemy technology in the entire main plane.

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor estimated that by gathering half of the power of the Alchemy Guild, a mage tower could be rebuilt within a week.

Even if the new mage tower is simpler than the old one, it is definitely better than nothing.

Whether or not there is a mage tower is a qualitative difference.

"The problem is money!" The mayor of Snowbird Port immediately found the key among the keys.

The city lord's mansion exploded, and all the money inside was gone.

The treasury contains last month's taxes, his own personal money, etc.

"To be precise, only the gold coins were lost, the silver and copper coins are still there."

It's just that these silver and copper coins were all melted by the explosion, or turned into little bits of metal dotting the ruins after the explosion.

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor has ordered his men to recover it.

But he also understood: Even if all were recovered, the money would be a drop in the bucket and would not have much effect. The most valuable part must have been stolen in advance.

"It is very likely that a third party took action."

"They plotted against me, and they plotted against Congmang's Vegetable Basket Pirates!"

"They stole all the gold coins and all my secret vaults."

When the city lord's mansion exploded, the wealth accumulated by the city lord of Snowbird Harbor was almost wiped out. What he had to do now was to put bandages on his whole body, pretend to be seriously injured, and report to the higher-ups.

"Patriarch, I have to contact you. The situation is like this..." Snowbird Port City took the initiative to use a remote real-time communication device to contact the patriarch of his family.

When the patriarch of the Avalanche family received the communication, his face was solemn, because he knew that this kind of remote real-time communication device consumes a huge amount of mana every second, and would not do this unless it was an emergency.

Whenever this kind of device is used, it means that the situation is very serious and critical.

"What, Snowbird Port is being attacked by pirates?" the leader of the Avalanche clan asked hurriedly, "Do you need the family's assistance?"

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood: "To be precise, the pirates have retreated."

"The battle situation at that time was very complicated. I tried my best, but I couldn't...ahem."

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor coughed out blood again, his face as pale as paper.

Seeing him in such miserable condition, the Xuebeng clan leader's bad feeling worsened sharply.

Then, the Lord of Snowbird Harbor said: "Now, although we are lucky enough to survive temporarily, the crisis has not subsided. The mage tower in Snowbird Harbor has been completely blown up, and my City Lord's Mansion has also suffered a disaster. It is in urgent need of family help to rebuild." Mage Tower!”

"What?!" As soon as he heard that the mage tower was destroyed, the Xuebeng clan leader's eyes darkened, and his expression collapsed on the spot.

Rebuilding the mage tower must consume huge amounts of money.

The current situation in Snowbird Port is that a mage tower must be built quickly in a short period of time, and the funds must be doubled at least ten times.

The leader of the Xuebeng clan was furious and began to question the Lord of Snow Bird Harbor, why was he so careless? Why is this so? The losses in this battle are so great. As the city lord, you have an unshirkable responsibility! If this matter is not handled well, your political future as a city lord will be bleak!

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor bowed his head and was scolded throughout the whole process, occasionally coughing up blood. In short, he acted however miserable he was.

The leader of the Xuebeng clan scolded for a while, and when he was tired of scolding, he saw the miserable Lord of Snowbird Harbor and sighed deeply: "You are doing the right thing by contacting me and the family."

"You have to remember that no matter what official position you hold, you are Xueyue. You have been called this name since you were born. You are a member of the Xuebeng family. This is your mark and can never be erased in your life!"

"At the moment, both His Majesty the King and the Archmage are shrinking their strength and waiting for good opportunities. The atmosphere in the Royal Capital is very subtle."

"If you report it directly, I'm afraid the royal family won't take action. The Alchemy Guild is mainly hosting the Warm Snow Cup."

"It's related to Guodian. As long as your Snowbird Port doesn't encounter the frozen pirate group that suffered a severe cold, don't expect any reinforcements."

"We need to take a long-term view on this matter."

Snowbird Harbor City Lord Xueyue looked anxious: "But! My most important thing now is to rebuild the Mage Tower. This matter cannot wait, Lord Patriarch."

"Hmph!" Chief Xuebeng looked displeased, "I don't see you contacting the family on weekdays. Now that something has happened, do you know who you can rely on?"

"The family is not your cash withdrawal machine, you have to understand that."

"As the leader of the clan, I have to consider everything, not just your side."

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor frowned: "However, looking at the people in the family, I am the only one who is in charge. Lord Patriarch, if I am held accountable for my inability to defend the border this time and step down from the position of City Lord, I am afraid it will also have a huge impact on the family. It’s a negative impact.”

The leader of the Xuebeng clan sighed and said in a deep tone: "Of course I won't sit back and watch, but you also have to come up with something decent to satisfy the rest of the family. Do you understand this?"

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor had a gloomy look and was silent for a while before nodding: "Then please tell me, the patriarch."

What follows is a back-and-forth negotiation.

Family ties have become a card, like a thin cloth covering up the cold competition for related interests at the bottom.

After a while, the negotiation was over.

The two sides did not reach an agreement.

Snowbird Harbor City Lord Xue Yue cursed and looked gloomy, but this result was not beyond his expectation.

He comes from the Xuebeng family, but his relationship with the family is not harmonious.

"This old thing!" The metal surface of the remote alchemy communication device reflected the ordinary face of the Snowbird Port City Lord.

As a snow elf, how could he have ordinary appearance?

Although the Lord of Snowbird Harbor comes from the Xuebeng family, he is a mixed race, a mixture of snow elves and humans.

He has been ostracized and suppressed since he was born.

He was also suppressed and worked harder.

But it is really difficult for a mixed-race child to have a good development in the elven country where the race is proud.

It wasn't until he was developed into an imperial spy that he truly had a path to advancement!

As for his becoming the Lord of Snowbird Port, it was also the result of the empire's secret promotion. But on the surface, he was seen as a man who was unlucky and took advantage of both sides in the political struggle between the upper echelons of the kingdom.

At least the entire Xuebeng family, including the clan leader, thinks so.

After receiving this position from the Lord of Snowbird Port City, the Xuebeng Family reached out to him, and the appearance... was ugly for a time.

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor wanted to take advantage of the resources and connections of the Avalanche family, but the latter was too greedy. The Lord of Snowbird Harbor is loyal to the Imperial Secret Agent. He must ensure his independence, at least to the outside world. Therefore, it is impossible to place members of the Xuebeng family in many interests and important positions.

At that time, the two parties were very unhappy.

The Xuebeng family was greatly disappointed with the Lord of Snowbird Harbor and scolded him for cheating and neglecting his kindness. Some clan members even plotted against the Lord of Snowbird Harbor and wanted to remove him from his position as Lord of the City.

How could it be possible?

The Empire's secret espionage organization worked hard to support the Lord of Snowbird Harbor, so they naturally wanted to keep him alive.

Therefore, the external political crisis of the Lord of Snowbird Harbor unexpectedly collapsed. After taking office, he himself also restrained himself in place, preferring not to do anything or make mistakes, and gradually secured his position as a leader.

Of course, he did not lie down, but kept trying in secret, constantly accumulating strength, and waiting for the opportunity.

He waited for the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.

Then, he cleaned up the entire bayonet gang in one day, sweeping the holes with thunder and cleanliness.

He made such a big splash that the entire kingdom's top officials once turned their attention to him and got to know him again - he is Xueyue, a human hybrid of the Avalanche family and the current Lord of Snowbird Port. He is not just a lucky man, he is capable!

but now…

Snowbird Port was attacked by pirates, and Cong Mang's Vegetable Basket Pirates landed successfully. At the beginning of the war, the mage tower, the core defense core of Snowbird Port, was bombed, and even his city lord's palace was destroyed.

a shame.

How embarrassing!

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor seriously neglected his duty!

This is the biggest crisis since the director of Snowbird City took office.

You will definitely be held accountable.

The reason why it is not happening now is that the Ice Sculpture Kingdom is also facing many tests, and the entire upper echelon has no intention of dealing with him as a city lord.

By the time the national ceremony is over and he has calmed down, he, the Lord of Snowbird Harbor, will probably be beaten to the end.

"Unless we get help from Lord [Usurper] again."

"But the relationship between Mr. [Usurper] and me cannot be exposed, and he cannot fully help."

"I have to save myself!"

"I have to get through this on my own."

"At least, I have to try my best!"

The huge pressure did not defeat the Snowbird Harbor City Lord, but instead inspired his fighting spirit.

When he walked out of the communication room, he held his head high, as if the previous negotiation with the leader of the Avalanche clan had achieved an ideal result.

"It's just that we haven't reached an agreement."

"How is it possible to negotiate this kind of thing in one go?"

"The key is that I have initially gained the support of the Avalanche family."

"I have committed a major dereliction of duty this time. The Xuebeng family must say hello in advance, use their network resources, and make many early preparations in order to keep my position in time in the future."

"It seems like my family is still of some use."

"Hehehe."

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor has already thought of a way and started to implement it.

Using the Avalanche family is just his first step.

"The next step is to invite my friends." The Lord of Snowbird Harbor pulled off his bandage.

His injuries were not serious.

He tore off the bandage several times in a row and walked into the corridor with his head held high.

He threw the bandage directly to the ground, and naturally there would be attendants to pick it up.

His movements were rough and his breath was heavy. At this moment, he didn't have the elegance of the snow elf at all. He looked like an angry bull.

Because he knows that this time, like countless times before him, he must do his best to fight against his fate!

"I can borrow the money myself."

“Large-scale lending!”

"The Seabird Sect is my ally and has fought alongside me."

"The Clam Cloth Chamber of Commerce, the Secret Medicine Chamber of Commerce, etc. all have branches in Snowbird Port. Without the Mage Tower, they may not feel safe. Raising funds to build the Mage Tower is our common aspiration!"

"Tan Mo... this **** guy." Thinking of Tan Mo, the city lord of Snow Bird Harbor felt itching with hatred, "But it's not impossible to cooperate. I can give a part of Xu Niao Port's future income in exchange for the cash in Tan Mo's hands. .Even if he offers a high price..."

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor has completely calmed down.

He was mentally prepared to be slaughtered. He would rather agree to Tanmo's high price than compromise with the Xuebeng family, even if the latter's offer is lower than Tanmo's.

The reason is certainly not emotional opposition.

The Lord of Snow Bird Harbor has long been a qualified political figure. He thought more deeply: "Tanmo is just an outsider, a human race. He came to the Ice Sculpture Kingdom after accepting the task of investigation."

"The Xuebeng family is a local force. Once you agree to them and open this hole, they will continue to infiltrate in the future, and they will not be able to lose their tail."

Even if you transfer your huge profits, it depends on who you transfer them to.

Although the pain will make him unable to breathe and the losses will be heavy, Xueyue, the lord of Snowbird Port City, understands deeply: he must give in!

Politics is the art of compromise!

If he doesn't give in now while he is still the city lord and still has capital, he will have no chance to give in in the future.

"Lord City Lord, people from the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group are here to visit." When the Lord of Snowbird Port came to his study, he received a report from his subordinates.

Sandao and Kuanshi came to the suburban manor of the Lord of Snowbird Harbor together.

"Why are they here?" The Lord of Snow Bird Harbor knew about the "Earth Dagger" (three swords).

After all, Snowbird Port has become his territory, and he has information from the Imperial Secret Intelligence Organization, so he knows the organizational structure of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group's branch in Snowbird Port. On the surface, the two silver-level elites, Kong Shi and Chi Lai, are the leaders, but they are not.

The leader who really calls the shots is the black iron level earth dagger (three swords)!

This situation is rare.

In this world of the strong, the strongest person is usually the leader.

But the Lord of Snowbird Harbor understands this situation. He himself has given a reasonable explanation: Since the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group are agents of the arms dealers, the real controllers are the people behind them. This is true for the dragon suit, and the same is true for the earth dagger. Chi Lai and Kong Shi are not loyal to Didagger, but to arms dealers.

"Chi Lai and Kong Shi only joined in the middle and are not considered the core."

"There are some people hidden in the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group. They are the core members of the arms dealers. They should have been trained for a long time and have high loyalty. They must be dragon uniforms and lion flags. The previous ruthless attacks also count, and the current ones are The Earth Dagger should be the same. That 'Sleeping Man' is even more of a hidden trump card!"

Although the Lord of Snowbird Harbor was still some distance away from the truth, he could guess the composition of the survivors in the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group based on limited information.

But when he thought of the big man, the Snowbird Harbor City Lord's eyes dimmed.

He felt an intense heartache.

The big man was a future Sanctuary-level man, and he was blown to death like this, leaving no trace of his body!

Sanctuary level, that is the future Sanctuary level.

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor believed that all his property losses were not as great as the losses suffered by the big man alone.

A moment later, there was a knock on the study door.

"Please come in." The Lord of Snowbird Harbor adjusted his sitting position slightly.

Sandao and Chi Lai pushed open the door and entered, and they both saluted.

"Please take a seat." The Lord of Snowbird Harbor smiled.

He knew the inside story of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Group branch, so naturally he did not look down on San Dao, and to a certain extent he was also curious about the latter's purpose.

San Dao was also very straightforward. After a few pleasantries, he directly stated his intention. The general idea is that this time, thanks to your support, the Lord of Snowbird Harbor, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group branch was saved. Now, the leader of the Dragon Server has learned about the situation here and sent me over to discuss new cooperation with the Lord of Snowbird Port.

"What kind of cooperation?" The mainstream of Snowbird Port City showed obvious interest.

San Dao continued his rhetoric.

As soon as he heard that the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group was willing to give out 200,000 gold coins for trade, the Lord of Snowbird Harbor felt excited.

This money came at the right time, so timely!

He just needs money.

Little did he know that this money was stolen from the treasury of his city lord's palace. Of course, it is impossible for the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group to be stupid enough to pay the original amount directly. The stolen gold coins will be sent to the royal capital, and the 200,000 gold coins will be taken out of the potion proceeds.

"Then what do you want?" The Lord of Snowbird Harbor asked calmly.

"We need some materials." San Dao handed over a list.

The Lord of Snow Bird Harbor took it and looked at it, frowning slightly.

Most of the materials listed on the list cannot be purchased on a large scale from the market. Most of them are contraband.

For example, the Heart of Ice, or a large number of dragon corpses.

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor shook his head slightly, expressing his difficulty.

Sandao thought: You can do it. Among the supplies the big man stole were gold-level white dragon claws, which were pure white dragon species, and there were also a lot of ice hearts!

All these show that the Snowbird Port City Lord has channels to obtain these things. Maybe it’s more costly or risky.

But in the current situation of the Snowbird Port City Lord, whether it is cost or risk, they are secondary.

San Dao saw this clearly and did not relax at all on this condition.

The Lord of Snow Bird Harbor just wanted to raise the price. Seeing San Dao's firm attitude, he agreed.

"To be honest, the Satojian family's connections and resources are better than mine. Didn't your group find a solution from them?" asked the Snowbird Port City Lord.

He didn't even ask if the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group wanted these prohibited materials.

In his opinion: As an agent of an arms dealer, what's wrong with collecting some alchemy materials outside? Too normal. The difficult part is that these materials are banned in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom.

San Dao smiled bitterly: "Our cooperation with the Satoma family is too in-depth, which is not good either."

A vague glint quickly flashed in the eyes of the Snowbird Harbor City Lord.

He suddenly thought of a previous piece of information.

The Satojian family saw the huge profit potential of the mount potion business, and wanted to completely bind the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group and become the latter's only partner. The Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group said it was considering it.

"Now it seems that the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group does not want to continue to cooperate with the Satojian family."

"That's right. The real allegiance of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group is to arms dealers. As a businessman who sells alchemy arms, naturally he does not want to rely solely on a certain force, which will be obviously restricted in the future, but to have both sides. The higher the degree of freedom, the more convenient it is. Made money.”

The Lord of Snow Bird Harbor instantly saw the needs of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.

Sandao continued: "Speaking of which, it's also thanks to you, Lord City Lord. The reason why we were able to cooperate with the Utojian family in the first place was because you, Lord City Lord, were the bridge between us."

"I wonder if your Excellency can contact the Shizuka family?"

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor quickly thought of the confrontation in the potion market.

Sales of mount potions are booming, but there are only two major players. One side is the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group + the Satoma Family, and the other side is the Shizuka Family. As the traditional overlord, the Alchemy Guild did not perform much, which surprised many outsiders.

"The Shizuka family is the most adept at refining potions among the nobles of the kingdom, but unfortunately, I cannot help mediate between the two of you."

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor is of mixed race, has limited status, and suffers from implicit discrimination.

In the beginning, the main reason why the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group was able to cooperate with the Satojian family was the strength of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.

But now, the real intention of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group is to reach reconciliation or even cooperation with the Shizuka family, which is far beyond the ability of the Snowbird Port City Lord. Because in order to do so, not only must the previous conflicts between the two parties be eliminated, but also the revenge of the Satoma family must be dealt with.

San Dao was not surprised by this. The Lord of Snowbird Harbor can investigate them, and they can naturally investigate the Lord of Snowbird Harbor.

The information that the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord is from the Avalanche family and is a mixed-race person is sold at a very low price in the Thieves Guild.

So the next moment, Sandao revealed the main purpose of this visit: "Then, please ask the Lord of Snowbird Harbor to spread other rumors."

"What rumor?"

San Dao's tone and demeanor were very calm: "There is a serious disagreement between the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group and the Utojian family. The Utojian family wants to grab the maximum potion revenue and bully the Longfu side. Longfu was unwilling to be humiliated and was quite angry. He once threatened to break up with the Dragon Warriors. Shizuka family cooperation!”

The Lord of Snow Bird Harbor was startled.

Immediately, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and he almost blurted out: "Wonderful."

This move is really wonderful!

The Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group has made up its mind to break away from the Utojian family. The people they want to cooperate with now are the Shizuka family, their former business enemies.

When this rumor spread, it directly revealed the inner story of the conflict between the two parties. The key is that the situation of the Satoma family is quite bad now. The high-ranking officials in the kingdom were generally very dissatisfied with the performance of the UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com family in the naval battle!

It can be said that the situation of the Satojian family is much worse than that of the Lord of Snowbird Port.

If the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group wants to terminate its cooperation with the Satojian Family, this is undoubtedly the best time.

Once the rumors are spread, all the forces in the entire kingdom will know about it.

This is equivalent to the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group taking a step forward and waiting for all parties to extend an olive branch.

The sales of mount potions are so hot. As long as you cooperate, you can make money. Who wouldn’t want to?

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor wanted to do it too, but unfortunately, he was not strong enough to reach such huge profits, so he could only drool with envy.

Half an hour later, Sandao and Chi Lai left.

The two parties reached a cooperation and signed the agreement directly on the spot.

The Lord of Snowbird Harbor was quite satisfied in his heart.

"I can feel that Longfu really wants to help me. He is not as open as Lion, and everything is based on market price. And he also gave me a large amount of funds that I needed most."

This is exactly what the Snowbird City Lord needs urgently at the moment, and it can be said to be a timely help.

"Of course, there are still risks in this cooperation."

"What they want is contraband after all."

However, in order to keep his position as city lord, the Lord of Snowbird Harbor is very willing to resist these risks.

"In comparison, the risk of spreading rumors is greater, and you might offend the Satoma family."

"But it doesn't matter, I can use the Imperial Secret Service to do this."

"This has nothing to do with me, the Lord of Snowbird Port!"

"This guy Long Fu is really good. He is open-minded, generous and humane in his work."

"Unfortunately, after I pass this hurdle, I will still have to deal with you and expose the arms dealer behind you."

"If possible in the future, I will also make a fortune for you in return."
