King

The auction was approaching, and Hudson gathered five hundred elite soldiers early to set off.

It was nominally to buy war horses, but actually it was a transaction in the past.

In such a big deal, everyone is worried about being taken advantage of by the other party. Choosing a third-party site is often the best choice.

Trading the "Blood Moon Horn" is destined to be dark, and Hudson is not afraid of people from the mysterious organization playing tricks.

Even if there is a conspiracy, the worst that can happen is that the seal placed on the "Blood Moon Horn" will be lifted. The people from the Governor's Mansion could be attracted by his soaring resentment alone.

A chance discovery of an enemy's conspiracy can turn into a conflict between the kingdom and the Holy See.

On one side are people of unknown origin who are suspected of being members of the Holy See, and on the other are powerful nobles of the kingdom. It is self-evident whose words are more credible.

The worst situation is that Hudson's income is gone and he can only take advantage of the kingdom's rewards.

But what the mysterious organization needs to pay is life.

As the capital of the Southeast Province, Beida City is not a place where you can come and leave whenever you want.

Not only are strong men stationed there, there are also Crimson Knights stationed there. The names of the ten major knights in the kingdom are still very valuable.

The last time the Skull and Bones rebellion was suppressed, the Crimson Knights killed everyone. As far as Hudson knew, it was only a portion of the Knights who appeared last time.

"Knights" and "Cavalry" may seem to have only one word difference, but in essence they are worlds apart.

The former represents glory, and without dazzling achievements, it is not qualified to be named; the latter is a simple establishment unit.

There can be multiple cavalry regiments in the knights, and the most famous one is naturally the Judgment Knights of the Holy See.

There are not only cavalry formations for running on the ground, but also cavalry formations for flying in the sky, except for those who can swim in the water.

Although the Crimson Knights do not have an organized air force, they are still the legitimate kings in the southeastern province.

Hudson felt at ease trading in such a heavily guarded place. If the mysterious organization sends a ruthless person, he will sneak into the military camp.

In order to avoid accidents on the road, Hudson not only brought his 500 elite troops, but also invited nobles from the county to participate in the auction together.

A team of thousands of people set off from Wright County in a mighty manner. Those who knew clearly that they were going to an auction, but those who were unaware might think that they were going to fight.

With such a lineup, sneak attacks do not exist, and all that can be done is strong attacks.

Hudson did not believe that the mysterious organization had the ability to mobilize thousands of elites in the Alpha Kingdom to fight an ambush.

There is no army available, and only a few experts want to sneak attack on this team. If you don't prepare a few forbidden spells, I'm afraid it won't be effective.

Just look at the front line and you will see that the war was so fierce and neither side used forbidden spells.

It's not that everyone doesn't have the ability to use forbidden spells, it's just that the price-performance ratio of this thing is too low.

Without five or six magisters of the same lineage, or a team of magicians, it would be impossible to release it.

After letting it go all at once, the mages were almost drained of Xie Cai and needed to cultivate for a while before they could take action again.

The coverage area of ​​the forbidden spell depends entirely on the strength of the caster.

In theory, it can be infinite. In fact, the coverage of most forbidden spells is very limited. Expanding the magic range will weaken the power.

The forbidden curses that destroyed cities recorded in history can be read as stories, but they are not reference at all.

On the face of it, the human race currently does not have a single saint, including the pope, who can only be regarded as a pseudo-sanctuary with the blessing of the artifact.

You can use external force to unleash the strength of a strong man in the Holy Realm, but once you use it, you will lose your life.

Pius VII was obviously a man who cared about his life. After taking the throne for so many years, he had never taken any action personally.

The situation among the foreign races is similar. The Elf Queen, who is known as the top expert in the mainland, is only suspected of being a saint.

Secretly, even if there are masters of this level, their number is absolutely impossible to be large.

Even the strong ones in the Holy Realm do not have the ability to destroy a city instantly. The great figures in the legend who destroyed heaven and earth are too likely to be artistically processed and are obviously not representative.

The team's mighty advance made the spies responsible for surveillance feel numb. With so many nobles dispatched together, one must be careful when looking from a distance. Wouldn't it cost one's life to investigate at close range?

No matter how difficult the task is, it can still be completed. If you can't get close, just estimate it. In this kind of reconnaissance mission, a slightly larger error is acceptable.

…

"Sir, the target has appeared. We expect to arrive in Beida City tomorrow afternoon.

It's just that the target is very vigilant and takes a large team of people to act together. Judging from the information detected, there are more than 1,500 people.

And they are all elites, including many knights. The target's communication is very broad, and nobles are constantly joining the team along the way, and the specific number of people is changing at any time.

If you want to rob and kill, unless a few adults take action personally, there is no chance of winning. "

Shadow Sha said in a deep voice.

Long-term training has caused him to lose normal human emotions and become more like a cold machine.

Just because an intelligence officer like him, who is almost a dead soldier, can be rational, does not mean that the intelligence officers below can also ignore their own gains and losses, and an ambiguous intelligence appears.

The target is to guarantee a minimum of 1,500 people, and there is no upper limit, which makes things awkward.

Kevin waved his hand and said calmly: "Okay, don't think about these uncertain things.

Now our task is to bring the Blood Moon Horn back, and everything else is a side detail. There is no need to take risks for a little profit. If it affects the mission, it will be troublesome. "

Impact on tasks is one aspect, impact on wealth is also a big issue. If the Blood Moon Horn is snatched back, how can one still reap the benefits?

Even if the credit is a little bigger, how much can it increase. In the minds of the higher-ups of the Holy See, just bringing the Blood Moon Horn back is a great achievement, no matter what method is used.

It's just that the senior officials like them know about this kind of thing. You still have to put on a show in front of the devout believers who are doing business below.

After a pause, Kevin turned to Isabel in the corner and ordered: "Miss Isabel, it is up to you to negotiate with Viscount Hudson for the next transaction.

It would be best to create a little scandal to attract the attention of the outside world as a cover for this transaction.

A few of us will pretend to be your bodyguards and follow behind. The contents of the box are yours from now on.

Rainbow Moon, we've got it for you. After that is done, you are a free man! Shadow Kill will transfer the reward promised to you earlier. "

"Thank you, sir!"

Isabel said gratefully with a hint of excitement.

His whole body trembled, as if he was extremely excited. But deep down inside, it's a different scene.

The trembling of the body was an instinctive reaction, but it was not the excitement of being free, but the shock of the news.

Having been with the singing diva group for many years, Isabel is not just a novice. What she is best at is observing people's emotions.

From Kevin's seemingly kind expression, she felt something unusual, as if she was looking at a dead person.

So many people present are direct descendants of the mysterious organization, but she is only a peripheral member, and a peripheral member who is about to leave.

Knowing such secret information, letting her go like this is obviously not in line with the mysterious organization's usual style.

It's too late to regret. She was young and ignorant. When she joined the mysterious organization, she adopted a cooperative attitude and made an agreement not to stop her when she left.

When it comes to the "Blood Moon Horn", unstable elements must not be allowed to stay. Even if this chess piece is valuable, the Holy See will not take the risk.

…

Compared to the Holy See, the "Skull and Bones" camp on the other side is much shabbier. Looking at the few masters around him, the masked man began to hesitate.

As an aspiring Skeleton Lord, he didn't want to lose all his wealth just for an uncertain adventure.

"People from the Holy See are in Beda City, and Viscount Hudson also ran over at this time, and brought a large group of people to act together. The possibility of the two parties reaching a deal is very high.

With our strength, we do not have the strength to stop this transaction. Now the plan needs to be changed, and all previously deployed actions are cancelled.

Next, we need to use the power of the aristocratic group to find a suitable opportunity to reveal the identity of the Holy See and the others.

It is said that they colluded with the orcs and came here with the Blood Moon Horn, intending to start a rebellion in Beida City and disrupt the rear of the Alpha Kingdom! "

The masked man said fiercely.

Plans don't change quickly. The original intention was to provoke a conflict between the two parties so that the fisherman could benefit, but unexpectedly they actually reached a deal.

The plan that had been in the works for more than half a year turned out to be a farce. It's like preparing a new house for yourself, but letting others enter the bridal chamber.

The masked man really couldn't swallow the anger in his stomach.

It happened that the transaction took place in Beida City, a restricted area where he wanted to cause trouble but did not dare to go.

If you have no choice, you can only kill someone with a borrowed knife. Now he only hopes that the nobles of the southeastern provinces will give a little more strength and keep all the people from the Holy See.

As for the Blood Moon Horn, it is far better to fall into the hands of the Alpha Kingdom than to return to the hands of the Holy See.

As a fanatical believer who is determined to restore the glory of the Lord of the Morning, he is always happy to expose the dark history of the Holy See and undermine the prestige of the Holy See.

Including a series of evidence presented by the Frankish Kingdom in questioning the legitimacy of the Pope, there is the selfless contribution of the masked man.

"Holy Lord, our identities are not visible to the public and we cannot contact the Governor's Mansion. The most we can do is spread rumors and attract the attention of those nobles.

But in this way, it is easy to alert the enemy. If someone from the Holy See discovers it, then..."

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, the masked man interrupted: "Karlis, your thinking hasn't changed yet.

What time is it now?

The orc army invades, and any information about the orcs will cause an uproar.

What's more, the Holy See colluded with the orcs to start a rebellion in Beida City, which was such an appalling event.

Regardless of whether the matter is true or false, as long as the news is received, the nobles who are afraid of death will send people to investigate.

Write a few more secret letters, find a few random people on the street, and deliver them to the relevant noble officials. As long as it attracts one person's attention, the goal is achieved.

Do you think the identities of those guys from the Holy See can withstand investigation?

Once the identity of the person in the Holy See is exposed, the deal is over. In order to remove himself, Viscount Hudson had to make trouble for them.

The matter of the Blood Moon Horn will definitely fall on these people in the Holy See. He was charged with colluding with the orcs, and he would probably do it for the Holy See. "

…

In Beida City, the much-anticipated auction kicked off amidst everyone's expectations.

The allure of war horses was huge, and all the powerful nobles in the province sent representatives to participate, and some even appeared in person.

In addition to the Warren Chamber of Commerce, there were other businessmen who came to join in the fun. The number of war horses to be auctioned has also increased from the initial 3,000 to 4,300.

It seems to have increased a lot, but the situation of more monks and less rice has still not changed.

Hudson didn't know how many war horses other forces wanted to buy.

Anyway, the more the merrier, he himself can consider it even if he wraps up these thousands of horses.

The number seems huge, but in fact there are many branches of the Koslow family, and the younger brothers in the county also have needs.

Small nobles do not need to build professional cavalry, but a small number of cavalry are still necessary to detect horses.

For your own safety, it is also necessary to arm a few trusted cavalry guards and charge into battle together.

It seems that it is nothing for one family to share ten or eight war horses, but if close to two hundred noble families come together to share it, this number will soon swell.

The competition started immediately, and the price had to go to the sky. How could a smart noble be allowed to be manipulated by merchants?

At the beginning of the auction, a group of powerful factions discussed the ownership of the war horse. The auction drama still has to be performed, but the price must be within everyone's control.

In fact, this still takes into account the subsequent effects. Otherwise, instead of discussing how to buy it now, we would directly grab it.

As a powerful player in the southeastern province, Hudson was lucky enough to get an independent box and did not need to go to the hall to squeeze in.

"Dear Viscount Hudson, there is a beautiful lady outside who claims to be a close friend of yours. She came here specifically to talk to you. Do you think?"

The maid's soft voice pulled back Hudson, who was familiar with the auction rules.

A "close friend" is, in other words, a lover. But the question is when did he find a lover? It was clearly slander.

"You guys go down, I'll have a chat with Viscount Hudson alone!"

Before Hudson could speak, a voice came from outside. The soldiers who were supposed to intercept had already moved out of the way.

The maid waiting on the side stepped away as quickly as possible. Judging from the familiarity of his face, it was obvious that he had encountered similar scenes many times.

After rolling his eyes at the charming Isabel, Hudson had already made up his mind to teach this woman a lesson.

If the occasion were different and he could sneak it to his door, he really wouldn't mind having another lover.

But when he was playing like this at the auction, didn't he know that his father-in-law, Mr. Hudson, was also participating in the auction?

Although they were already engaged, no one would regret it over such a trivial matter, but after all, it didn't look good on their face.

There was no rush to fall out, it was because there were a few more boxes in the room. With his keen perception, Hudson knew that it contained magic crystals and magic cores.

"The contract is here, let the people behind you sign it!"

As he spoke, a parchment flew out of Hudson's hand. It is the contract document prepared before.

In order to produce this document, he suffered a lot. Finally, with the help of the mysterious compass, the contract was completed.

As for the effect, you won't know until you try it. At least it looks more classy than ordinary magic contracts, like high-end goods.

In this situation, the "guard" is obviously not suitable to stay for a long time. After several strong men signed the contract, only Hudson and Isabel were left in the room.

Vaguely, Hudson felt someone was peering at him, and the cub on his shoulder stretched out his paws in response.

"He's being targeted!"

Realizing this, Hudson was not polite and hugged Isabel into his arms, as if an old lover was meeting tenderly.

At this moment, all the magic crystals and magic cores in the box disappeared.

With a "swish" sound, the image stone also entered Bear Stearns' hands. The Blood Moon Horn that was sealed at the same time was also sent out quietly.

The few "guards" who got the things used the excuse of needing to relieve themselves and asked the maid outside the door for directions before leaving the scene.

At about the same time, people who looked similar to the previous guards took their place and appeared outside the box to guard.

The reaction speed was so fast that if Hudson hadn't told Bear Stearns to pay attention, he wouldn't have noticed that someone had changed outside.

"Sir, can you let me go?"

Isabel said slightly with a blush on her face.

Hudson's hands were restless just now, and the one who was torturing her was upset. He was obviously very angry, but he still didn't dare to show up.

From the moment the deal was concluded, she was abandoned by the mysterious organization. If she wasn't still needed here to attract attention and cover the smooth progress of the transaction, maybe she would be dead.

"Let go, hold my lover, why should you let go?

Some people consider themselves lovers. Do you want to regret it now? Do you think I am easy to bully? "

While speaking, Hudson's slap had already been slapped down.

This scene made the two old men hiding on the opposite side look very embarrassed. Spying on people flirting is not what their status is supposed to do.

"Yuli, are you sure the other party is colluding with the Holy See and the orcs plotting a rebellion, and not just a young couple flirting?

Everyone is young, and it's okay to make a few mistakes. What capable nobleman doesn't have a few romantic affairs?

When this kind of thing is revealed, both the Koslow family and the Holliser family look bad and are not in line with the rules.

Isabel's reputation spread far and wide, and since she entered Beida City, she has attracted the attention of countless nobles. Even my son is clamoring for me to propose marriage for him.

Most likely, someone was jealous and deliberately made up the news with the intention of framing him. In order to use our hands to destroy this couple.

What a big deal, why do you have to be such a bad person? "

Magister Antar said indifferently.

It doesn't matter who Isabel harms, as long as it's not his boy. He couldn't afford to lose face by marrying a singer.

Now that he is hooking up with Hudson, he can stop his son's delusions, and he can also put an end to something he is worried about.

As for someone reporting that Hudson was colluding with the orcs and that the Holy See was plotting rebellion, Antar never believed it.

For a good nobleman to mess with these two families, wouldn't he be out of his mind?

Even though the orcs are awesome now, humans will still win in the end. As for the Holy See, not to mention, if the charge of colluding with the orcs is really proven, civil strife will first break out within the Holy See.

The lack of moral integrity at the top does not mean that the people below also have no moral integrity. At the very least, the group of ascetic monks who represent the highest combat power cannot tolerate the Holy See betraying the interests of the human race.

In Antar's view, even if the orcs collude with the Holy See, they will only do so secretly. Involving Hudson was completely funny, as if he was afraid that the news would not be leaked.

"How do I know? You have read the secret message anyway. At this time, you must be careful when encountering anything.

Didn't they also report a few people from the Holy See? It will be clear when they are found out. By the way, there are a few more boxes that went in together. You can send someone to check them out. "

Magister Yuli said bravely.

He was disgraced by Hudson last time, so he thought he had caught him this time. That's why Yuli was so active.

Unexpectedly, I was spoiled as soon as I came up. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have doubted that the crazy man and resentful woman opposite him would be able to show off to them on the spot.

"If you want to investigate, go and investigate on your own, I won't accompany you.

As a popular singer, she should have some savings. Unless you can find the Blood Moon Horn to prove that the content in the letter is true.

Otherwise, it has no meaning other than offending people. If you are not afraid of enmity and future revenge on your descendants, then go ahead! "

As he spoke, Antar turned around and left, leaving Magister Yuli in a dilemma. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

Strong people are also human beings. They are not afraid of offending others, but they also have to think about future generations.

Normal people are not willing to offend someone to death without any reason.

If catching a romantic affair can be used as a clue, more than half of the nobles in the world have similar clues left outside.

If everyone dies together, it can only be called "romantic".

Although it happened before the marriage, it was a little excessive, but if the lid was lifted, the Holliser family, as the victim, would definitely not be grateful to him.

Unexpectedly, he accidentally escaped a storm, but Hudson is still seeking revenge. But what surprised him was that Isabel in front of him didn't rush away after he clearly gave him a chance.

"Miss Isabel, what are you afraid of when you stare at the door from time to time?

Could it be that the mysterious organization thinks that you know too much and is in some way, and wants to kill you and silence you? "

Seeing Isabel's shocked expression, Hudson shouted in his heart: Damn it!

This kind of bloody plot actually happened in front of him.

No wonder she would rather be taken advantage of by him than leave in a hurry. The feeling is to avoid pursuit and have to stay here to take refuge.

After being exposed, Isabel did not continue to cover up, but asked doubtfully: "You are not the Undead Mage, so what happened last time?"
