If these beggars can be organized into a network, the efficiency of gathering information will be several times higher than the traditional method.
Anyone who has read martial arts novels or dramas must have thought of it.
Isn't this Beggar Sect?
In fact, among the Witcher 3, some people thought of this ahead of the times, and took advantage of this to become one of Big Four who became Novigrad.
Although he was given a somewhat ridiculous title like "King of Beggars", in fact everyone at Novigrad respected him.
Because the group of beggars under him can always allow him to collect the latest rumors and the most valuable information.
Of course, in the current world line, that person definitely has no chance.
After listening to Lynn's question, everyone looked at the demon hunter differently.
Could it still be like this?
However, at this time, Drake frowned.
"Your Excellency, your fantastic ideas are admirable, but I have a question."
"How to ensure the loyalty of these beggars? Or should I say this, if someone eats money at both ends and turns their elbows outward, how should you deal with it?"
Drake just raised this question, and the demon hunter looked at him like he was a fool.
"As I said just now, these beggars are peripheral members of Syndicate. The so-called peripheral members mean that even if individual members rebel, they will not have much impact on the organization."
"In addition, the organization only maintains a single line of contact with peripheral members, and apart from the liaison officer, the peripheral members are not allowed to know the existence of other peripheral members..."
"These are the most basic common sense in the intelligence industry. Has Syndicate never taught you these common sense?"
Drake I suddenly felt my face was burning.
Of course she knows all this.
It's just that there is still a filter in her heart.
There is no real equivalence between beggars and other civilians as peripheral members.
I always subconsciously feel that beggars are unreliable.
"Of course, what we just said are worst-case scenarios, but in fact, as long as they are not fools, they are unlikely to betray us, because no one except us treats them as human beings."
"Can someone else make them rich by betraying us? It's definitely impossible. At most, you can give them a little money, and then they can only go back to living like servants."
"I'm just giving a rough plan. You will definitely need to optimize the specific details. You are all doing this. I believe in your professionalism."
"Take this."
Lynn took out a leather bag the size of a human head from the magic pattern leather bag and threw it to Drake.
"There are five thousand crowns in it, which are also the funds for your next activities. I may not have time to provide you with activity experience on time every month, so I will give you a sum of money every once in a while like now."
"I am a person who prefers to say ugly things first:"
"I hope you don't have the idea of 'taking this money to find opportunities to run away'. If you really do that, you will really disappoint me... I regard you all as like-minded comrades, and we should fight for a noble cause together."
The demon hunter's words made everyone present feel excited.
But they did not immediately take a position.
Instead, they all looked at Drake.
"Sister head?"
Drake slapped his thigh hard.
"Damn it, there's nowhere to go anyway, so let's see what you, a demon hunter, can do."
The scarred woman stood up and performed a salute of allegiance.
Others also followed the same pattern of salutes.
"Francis Drake, I will do as you please."
""Syndicate" is yours, Your Excellency."
Every force needs an intelligence organization.
Regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, at home and abroad, wars are fought for money and intelligence.
Since Lynn doesn't just want to be a demon hunter who trades Drowner's head for a few crowns, then he definitely needs a spy network.
The sooner a spy network is established, the better.
If you wait until you need it, it will be too late.
Lynn will hand over the task of collecting beggars to Syndicate and allow it to grow and expand its own strength.
But he is not worried that Syndicate will escape his control.
The reason is simple.
The intelligence organization of any force cannot exist independently of the force.
The operation of any intelligence organization requires funds.
The owner who feeds Syndicate is himself.
As long as you still hold the rope called funds in your hand, you don't have to worry about Syndicate being out of your control.
Some people may ask, where does the funding for feeding Syndicate come from?
In fact, it's very simple. It comes from the information gathered from the beggars compiled by Syndicate.
In a city like Novigrad, with a permanent population of tens of thousands, the profits that can be gained from accurate information are immeasurable.
These are the keys for Lynn to make a fortune in Novigrad, and even to control this free city one day in the future.
As long as the operation of Syndicate requires its own funds, then Lynn will be able to firmly control Syndicate in its own hands.
Of course, the above mentioned is just a precautionary measure for the demon hunter.
The experience in his previous life has made him accustomed to keeping a secret no matter what he does.
But in fact, many times, things will not develop to this point.
As long as Drake is not stupid, he will not want to take the team out to work alone.
The reason is simple, not everyone is suitable for starting a business.
The most typical example is Lü Bu.
The reputation he is known for today was all achieved while working under Dong Zhuo.
Later, he killed his boss and went out to start a business, but the results became worse and worse.
Until he finally killed himself.
Lynn believes that Drake is not a fool. If she is, then Lynn is not worried.
Lynn There is another insurance:
Before today, he had actually secretly met with several cadres under Drake in private and successfully won over them.
If Drake really had second thoughts, her cadres would join forces to attack her, which would be enough to kill her.
A few days later, Geralt and his party finally arrived at Kagen Town and met up with Lynn.
Although Toussaint is not far from Kagen Town to the north of Rivendell Valley, the transportation in this era was not as developed as modern times, and traveling long distances on horseback was definitely not a comfortable thing.
The demon hunters and high-level vampires were fine, but Tyensail, the master elf blacksmith, was really exhausted after traveling for so many days from Beauclair.
So everyone had to rest at Kagen Town for another two days before setting off again.
Cross Yaruga River and then go all the way north.
