Chapter 525 Traditional Fishing

"Whether it is a small country depends on how you calculate it."

Leon opened his mouth and explained:

"The Kingdom of Korok has not directly occupied the more than 400,000 square kilometers of land. Most of it is leased from other kingdoms and city-states, so it will not be drawn on any map, including the Kingdom of Korok itself. Deny.

The only territory officially recognized by the Kingdom of Korok is these 800-plus blocks, and only the people living in these 800-plus blocks are considered citizens of the Kingdom of Korok, so you can say it is a small country. That's right. "

"Not too small, not too small."

After hearing this, Alger quickly shook his head and said:

"No matter how you calculate it, a country that actually controls more than 400,000 square kilometers cannot be considered a small country... Since the area under actual control is so large, why doesn't the Kingdom of Korok simply recognize these places?"

Because this is the most profitable approach.

Hearing Alger's curious inquiry, Leon's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, remembering what happened to the two robber brothers.

Cheshire, where they were born, is one of the mining areas of the Kingdom of Croke. Everything there is controlled by the Kingdom of Croke. Internal and external trade is almost prohibited. Even food and some daily necessities need to be mined with floating crystal ore. Change.

Under this rule, more than 10,000 people in Cheshire worked around the mine from birth to death, using their whole life's labor to provide the Kingdom of Crook with a steady stream of floating crystal ore, and people like them There are more than a hundred "mining areas".

Even if not all mining areas require so much labor, and not all mining areas will be as miserable as Cheshire, the number of ordinary people who are directly or indirectly "enslaved" by the Kingdom of Crook is probably more than a million.

As long as it does not admit its actual control over these mining areas, the Kingdom of Korok can stay out of the matter and use these millions of people as consumables to exploit the resources it needs without paying almost any price.

"Is this still possible?"

After listening to Leon's speculation and the tragic encounter with the robber brother and sister, Alger's face suddenly turned slightly red, and he said angrily:

"No one can take care of this kind of thing? Just let the Kingdom of Korok do this?"

"Who cares? The cleanup bureau?"

After glancing at this strong man with a relatively simple mind, Leon said:

"The ancestors of the Korok royal family are the sitters of the Watch Palace. The mission of the Cleanup Bureau is to protect the Korok royal family and fight against anomalies that attempt to invade the human world. It is not the responsibility of the Cleanup Bureau to control the affairs of the Korok Kingdom.

As for other kingdoms, don't even think about it. The technological level of the Korok Kingdom is at least a hundred years ahead of other kingdoms. Therefore, although the Korok Kingdom has a sparse population, its military strength is not weak at all.

What's more, for these mining areas, the Kingdom of Korok also paid money and even transferred a lot of technology to get the right to 'mining and use' from other kingdoms. Who do you want to stand up and control them? Are there other kingdoms that sell mines for money? "

“…”

"Don't think about it, we can't control this kind of thing."

After understanding the "business model" of the Kingdom of Crocodile through the stolen information, Leon had already made up his mind that he would deal a cruel blow to Kingdom B if he had the opportunity, but he remained calm and honest on his face. :

"We are just two ordinary cleaners. Our first task now is to investigate the situation in Scientific Research Area 1, find Atifi 01 controlled by Prince Andre, and then confirm whether the royal family is really dead. If If yes, then find a way..."

"What did you say?!!"

When he heard this, the sloppy man who had been eavesdropping with his ears since the two Lyons started talking, suddenly couldn't hold back anymore. He stood up from his seat and yelled with shock on his face:

“The royal family is dead?!”

"Senior Alger!"

Looking at the sloppy man standing up opposite him, Leon couldn't help but increase his tone, frowning slightly dissatisfied:

"Didn't you just promise me that if he had any overreaction, you would discover it in advance and stop him?"

"Sorry, I was careless..."

After hearing what Leon said, Alger couldn't help but lowered his head in shame and said:

"I was a little distracted just now, and my reaction speed was slower than yesterday, so I didn't react for a while... I'm sorry, I will be careful next time!" "Okay, there is nothing I can do about it..."

Leon shook his head helplessly after hearing this, and then said:

"Forget it this time, but you must be careful in the future. I can still use the [Secret Tail] to cover up, but if we wait until we enter the No. 1 Scientific Research Area and come here suddenly again, then we will be in danger. "

"I...I'm sorry. I will never make this mistake again!"

"Okay, then you control Mr. Bell first, let's..."

"Wait! Wait!"

Seeing these two "roving criminals" preparing to control him again, the sloppy man couldn't help but look anxious, and then took the initiative to lower his voice and said:

"What did you just say? The entire royal family is dead?"

Taken the bait.

After glancing at the sloppy man's wildly dancing soul, Leon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and then frowned again and said to Alger:

"Sorry, I was a little careless. This kind of key information should not be told in front of him. You should charge him first..."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"Don't! Don't control me!"

Hearing that Leon was ready to let this strong man control him again, the sloppy man said quickly:

"I can help you! Don't let me talk!"

"this…"

After a slight hesitation, Leon shook his head and refused:

"I'm sorry, this matter is too important. We can't trust you. If you say you are helping us, but actually find a way to inform us, then..."

"I won't!"

The sloppy man said anxiously:

"I am a classmate of His Majesty Fein! The rank of fourth-level scholar was also specially approved by His Majesty Fein! I...Is something really wrong with the royal family? As long as you can prove that you didn't tell lies just now, I...I can help you Get in!"

Take it!

After hearing the sloppy man's words, Leon's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

As for the identity of the sloppy man's hard-core "royal gang", he had already seen it from the information he snatched. Based on the relationship between him and the old king, once he heard the information that all the royal family might be killed, he would definitely be restrained. Stay here, eager to find out, this is exactly what you want.

After all, Scientific Research Area No. 1 is so important, and Prince Andrei, who is suspected to be the mastermind behind it, will definitely guard it as long as he is not a fool.

My own [Secret Tail] is not omnipotent. Even if I find a scholar in Research Area No. 1 and replace his identity with anomalies, I still don’t have his knowledge and memory, and I don’t know his interpersonal relationships with Research Area No. 1. The rules of the district will still be exposed in minutes.

So the only way to successfully sneak in is to persuade this sloppy man to willingly lead the way for the two of them.

Rather than asking him for help with earnest persuasion and presenting facts and reasoning, it is naturally safer to lay the hook first, wait for him to take the initiative to talk, and then ask for help in the end.
