Although Paimon said 'she' wouldn't, the Traveler was definitely the one who actually took action; this is what's called "borrowing the tiger's might."
[Amonsu bluntly stated: "Just admit defeat. The small share we'll get isn't worth risking our lives for."]
What he meant was, how much money do we make in a month? It's not worth risking our lives.
They're just the lower-level members; they make some money, but in the end, the higher-ups take the lion's share.
Interrogation was Sino's specialty, but unfortunately these people really knew nothing.
In fact, they knew more about Sino than they knew about "the higher-ups".
This reminds everyone that Sino's information has been entered into the void, but those who can obtain this information must not be ordinary people.
Oh no, if this investigation continues, will it actually uncover something? Smith, Hans, Ivan, Pierre—which commissioner is going to get them all?
[Sinos thought, "If only there were other channels. Big businessmen who sell knowledge about canning..."]
Upon hearing this description, every reader immediately pictured the woman in their mind. Yes, it was that woman!
Cough, it's that little girl, not that woman, it's that little girl who looks like a shrewd businesswoman—Dolly.
Paimon also realized: "Hmm? That's just more—"
Yes, isn't that Dolly? At this point, readers were also beginning to doubt Dolly.
[Sino asked, "Do you have any suspects? Take me with you; I'll help you interrogate that person."]
Upon hearing this, Paimon immediately shut up. They had a good relationship with Dolly and didn't want Dolly to be severely judged.
The trial of Senor was no joke; everyone who experienced it gave it rave reviews.
Although Dolly was a bit of a shrewd businesswoman, she hadn't really done anything bad, and even to some extent made up for the poor supply chain in Sumeru.
Lord Sango Mahabay's supplier is the famous Alice, who is also Claire's mother, and the goods are incredibly complete.
In this way, it's not reasonable to implicate Dolly, since all that was said was "Dolly," so it's better to say Dotore.
This can be tried, and it can be tried however you like. Nobody has any objections, and some even hope it will be broadcast live.
In any case, the traveler and Paimon in the story hurriedly changed their story, claiming that they did not know any merchant at all.
As mentioned in the previous story, Seno can tell at a glance whether someone is lying or not, let alone someone like Paimon who is not good at lying.
However, Seno did not expose her, but simply told the traveler to go to Kavan Station to find him if he had any information.
It is clear that he trusts the travelers quite a bit. Ironically, it is the travelers' trust that is hardest to gain; in the previous story, the travelers only trusted them at the very end.
After speaking with the traveler, Seno's attitude changed, and he looked at the buyer with a cold eye.
[Sino warned: "As for you, don't buy any more canned knowledge. And if you have any unused canned knowledge, turn it in immediately."]
The man paid little attention to Sino's reminder.
Mutel said in a nonchalant tone, "I know. Tch, mind your own business."
This attitude made everyone frown. How dare he? He committed a crime and still dared to be so arrogant towards Sino?
It can only be said that this is because there is no law in Sumeru that punishes buying and selling equally, and Mutel, as the buyer, is not guilty of a crime, which is why he was so calm.
Mutel even complained, "Buying and selling canned knowledge is a matter of mutual consent, but you all had to interfere."
"Such a convenient and useful thing, the Order of the Instruction is keeping it hidden away, isn't it just that they plan to monopolize it?"
This statement seems to make some sense at first glance, but upon closer examination, it becomes clear that it is pure sophistry.
Taboo knowledge is harmful; any argument that only mentions the benefits and not the drawbacks is pure sophistry.
Seno naturally understood this, so he didn't bother arguing with Muteldo, leaving only one sentence:
"If there is a next time, I will personally try you as well."
Since there's no legal distinction between buying and selling, I'll, in my personal capacity, conduct a trial and...rua!
After saying that, Seno left with the smugglers, while Paimon and the Traveler planned to secretly go to Dolly to ask her for more information.
Casazale Palace, Dolly is right here, waving as she sees the travelers approaching.
A warm welcome to wallets, oh no, travelers!
Everyone is speculating about how much money Dolly will rip off the travelers this time.
Asking for information shouldn't cost much, right? 100,000 Mora?
Chapter 608 750,000 Mora
The traveler explained the situation to Dolly and asked her if she knew who was behind the sale of canned knowledge.
Unfortunately, Dolly didn't know that she was no longer in the business of canned knowledge.
Those guys had too much knowledge about canned goods, and Dolly couldn't compete with them, so she naturally gave up the business.
She only washes half of it; she's still doing the other 'illegal' business.
Although she doesn't know who the mastermind is, Dolly does know some information.
Dolly said, "Although I don't know who's behind this, I'll reveal some information I know in return for keeping my secret."
"After all, those guys have such a terrible track record. I'm hoping they come to ruin so I can take over... cough, and regulate this industry sooner rather than later."
This phrase is very familiar to everyone; this event is also recorded in Liyue.
Isn't this just like 'watching that kid make money is more painful than me losing money'? Liyue really does come up with a lot of witty remarks.
Canned goods are indeed very profitable, which is why Dolly set her sights on this opportunity.
It is precisely because of this that Dolly is willing to share information with the traveler without spending a single penny.
However, not spending money now is just an appearance; how could Dolly possibly let money slip by?
This intelligence, once given to travelers, can both strike at business rivals and make money off them—truly a win-win situation: the Red Army marches on Berlin.
The reason why canned knowledge sells well is because of its convenience; it can quickly turn someone who knows nothing into a scholar.
Dolly: "But what in this world is all benefits and no costs?"
That's what Dolly said, but if you really want to say something, her Casazale Palace came at no cost...
No, there is a price to pay, but the price is paid by someone else.
Well, let's put aside Kavi's story for now and listen to what Dolly has to say.
Dolly: "Learning, thinking, practicing... acquiring knowledge is inherently a tedious process, just like selling things; I have to do a lot of preparation beforehand."
"Canned knowledge skips all the steps, giving you direct access to knowledge, which presents at least two potential problems."
"First, you'll have unwavering faith in this knowledge, and it's extremely difficult to forget... which means that once a mistake is made, it's almost impossible to correct."
This is 'empiricism', and a very absolute kind of empiricism at that, which makes it easy for people to make mistakes.
What's even more frightening is that the knowledge gained from canned goods is difficult to forget and correct, making people more prone to empirical errors.
It's like being used to closing a document to save it, but accidentally clicking "Don't Save" when closing the document. Because I didn't have the habit of saving frequently, the whole document is gone, boohoo.
"Secondly, prolonged overuse will gradually degrade your thinking ability, eventually turning you into a library that can only 'store' knowledge."
The close-up shot of this line, focusing on Dolly's face, reveals a somewhat frightening statement. However, because Dolly is so cute, no one is scared.
Dolly's second scenario is long-term overdose; discussing toxicity without considering dosage is irresponsible.
Those that are used occasionally actually have no side effects.
But I don't know what's wrong with the traveler, he only used it once and then became very fond of using the sword.
Dolly used to sell some knowledge about canned goods, but lately, too many people are selling them, which is not a good thing.
Dolly knew she couldn't compete with them, and she also knew that things would go wrong if she did, so she wisely chose to protect herself and withdrew from the market first.
[Dolly: "As far as I know, their real purpose is to use canned knowledge to spread information about the 'Garden of Silence,' which is the real golden opportunity."]
What?! It's the Garden of Silence!
Readers were stunned by the name and asked one after another, "What is the Court of Silence?"
Although the text specifically highlighted these four characters, making it seem unusual, what exactly are they?
[Dolly explained: "Legend has it that the Garden of Silence is a relic from the time of the Crimson King, and obtaining its treasures can grant the understanding of life and death. However, this is research strictly prohibited by the Council of the Church."]
"I heard there's an auction being held in the desert right now, selling rare canned knowledge, some of which is related to the Silent Court."
Is it really Dolly? How does she know everything about the ruins and legends from the Red King's era, and the auction in the desert?
However, people don't really believe in the idea of seeing through life and death, since the Red King himself is dead, so it's not very convincing.
Dolly knew things that even Seno hadn't investigated. It's no wonder she's Dolly; she easily accomplished what the disciplinary officer couldn't.
Everyone has their own area of expertise. Disciplinary officers have to investigate slowly to find out information about these gray industries, and Dolly is actually part of the gray industry.
[Dolly: "After all that, it's time to recommend our 'Limited Edition Desert Special Travel Bag' to you both! It even includes a map showing the location of the auction!"]
"As I just mentioned, I need to do a lot of groundwork before selling anything. So let me think about what the price should be."
She did say that, but no one expected that all the information she had just shared was actually a prelude.
"Wow! Each travel bag is only 500,000 Mora, what a bargain! Little Paimon's travel bags are even 50% off, only 250,000 Mora!"
Dolly means a total of 750,000 Mora.
The person in front of me bought a bunch of canned knowledge for only 150,000 Mora, while Dolly sells two backpacks for 750,000 Mora. She really treats travelers like easy prey.
But you can't call her a shrewd businesswoman, because she's pretending to sell backpacks while actually selling information.
The real value of 750,000 Mora is the intelligence I just mentioned; the backpack is just a decoy.
Dolly was also very clear about who her target customers were, and she would put the money on Sino's account instead of asking the travelers for it.
This scene was very familiar to D'Artagnan; he often received bills like this.
Most of them belong to Zhong Li, and occasionally to Lin Qiu.
However, D'Artagnan didn't care at all, since Pantalone would be the one paying the bill in the end, and the bill would just pass through his hands for a while.
The same applies to Sino. When Sino returns to the Order of the Church, he can simply go through the OA process and have the Order of the Church reimburse him.
One has to admire Dolly's business acumen; her sales pitch was truly irresistible.
Although she has already shared the information, if you don't pay for it, the trust relationship will be lost, and how can we do business then?
Neither the traveler nor the disciplinary officer would want to lose Dolly as a source of information.
That's how it should normally be, but Dolly overlooked one thing: Seno isn't an ordinary disciplinary officer; he's the Grand Disciplinary Officer!
Chapter 609 The Case Is Underway
Dolly's prices were too high, and the travelers just ran away. She was afraid that if she didn't run away soon, Dolly would take her underwear.
By the way, don't let Dolly's appearance fool you; she understands things better than most people.
The side effects of canned goods only become apparent after long-term use, and this matter has only just come to light now, benefiting both buyers and sellers.
With such a large stake in the case, it won't be an easy task for the travelers and Sino to prevent it; they may have to offend quite a few Commissioners Smith.
Fortunately, the mastermind behind this has ulterior motives, and Seno and the Traveler are not ordinary people either; they will find a way.
The traveler ran all the way to Kavan Station to find Seno and told him the information. This time, he finally stopped hiding it.
However, the traveler only mentioned the Silent Garden and the auction, without mentioning Dolly.
Now that the intelligence has been gathered, the next step is to take action. Before that, we need to deal with the little tails following the traveler.
"Don't worry," Seno said, "I'll handle this little thing."
Sino's words were incredibly gentle, but only the Traveler and others could hear this gentleness; the prisoners would have to face Sino's other side.
What intrigues readers even more is another point: why are travelers always being followed by little tails, and always in Kawan Station? Is it some kind of curse?
Previously, when he was being followed at Kavan Station, it was Elhesen who took action; this time, when he was being followed again, it was Sino who took action.
No wonder you two would fight as soon as you met in the desert, you're so alike. You two must be really close, right?
It's hard to say about their relationship, but this time the "tail" is bigger than last time, with more people.
