After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1651

Chapter 1651: Reading Other People’s Letters

Jonathan read the letter Wazan and the others had just sent back to their hometown, just before they went out to tag along in the Alterran caravan.

He might not be able to block it, but he—and other Lords, for that matter—could definitely take a peek. They were arrogant, too, so he doubted they put things in code.

And they really didn’t bother.

/It seems like Voumi Town is involved in this somehow./

/As we have reported previously, the latest team had perished in Voumi Town, which was claimed to be an accident by the leading party. However, we found some witnesses and evidence of skirmishes with Hesso, the supposed town heir./

/Interestingly, we have gathered information that people from Voumi have been appearing greatly in this region, attempting to take over the place./

/We found that most of the elementalists he had been auctioning out were from here, so this makes sense. However, they had seen Valov as a threat to this plan because it is not too far from the region either, at least not by Mercenary Hall./

"I surmise that this is why they have been trying to undermine the connection between Ferrol, which has the nearest Mercenary Hall to the region, and any territory that could undermine its rule."

Because the posts themselves cannot be taken out of the Post Office, he had asked a trusted slave to copy the contents

Unlike others, Jonathan treated his family’s slaves quite well. They basically just lived as normal servants who might have to follow whatever their master ordered. Because he was a personal slave, naturally, only Jonathan could order him around.

/We will continue to investigate Voumi Town’s involvement and who they are taking allegiance to, but we have obtained reliable information that Alterra Town is a hidden subsidiary of Voumi Town, similar to how Guia Village has been to Valov./

Jonathan nodded, relieved that the other side’s thought was really heading in that direction, just as Lord Althea said.

He knew that Voumi Town had nothing to do with Alterra.

But these bastards didn’t have to know that, did they?

...

Wazan had already long mentioned Alterra and Iron Mountains in his report. It wasn’t difficult to find out, after all. Sadly, Lords were not allowed to tamper with the letters except to copy and read their contents, so there was nothing he could do about that.

So what could they do? It was to lessen the importance placed on Alterra, to veil its actual influence on these events, and shift it elsewhere.

Fortunately, they already planted a lot of things and events in Voumi that would’ve made sense, and they just had to feed some gossip and ’legitimate sounding’ information here and there, and it was bound to eventually reach Wazan’s ears.

They also saw the mercenaries, also powerful in their own right. "Heh, did they think hiring mercenaries would keep all of that safe?"
