"Hudson, do you want to go to this auction?"

Melissa asked eagerly.

"Master Kemboy" is a god-like existence to all magicians. The discovery of his laboratory will surely attract countless attention.

As a magician, Melissa is no exception. The eager expression clearly said: Take her with you.

After living together for several years, Hudson still has some judgment. It's a pity that the laboratory thrown out by the Moxi people may not be true!

Under normal circumstances, if someone discovers something like this, everyone would want to hide it tightly. Who would disclose the information?

Even if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are still afraid that thieves will miss you!

Of course, fraud wouldn’t be too much. Judging from the previous treasure excavations of the Mossi people, the laboratory must have been used by Master Kaimboy. It is difficult to say whether it was just discovered.

As a top powerhouse, Kaimboy traveled across the continent and left his footprints in many places.

However, he suddenly and mysteriously disappeared, leaving no systematic inheritance. Not even his students were able to fully inherit Master Kaimboy's research results.

“Go, must go!

The newly discovered Master Kemboy's laboratory should have maintained its original appearance. As a magician, how could you not visit it?

I have nothing to do when I am at home. Melissa, why don’t you go shopping with us? "

Hudson said with a smile.

It doesn't hurt to go for a walk. This invitation is in George's own handwriting. It seems that it doesn't say anything, but actually it says everything.

The situation is very obvious. The Principality of Moxi is about to be unable to survive. Fortunately, the Principality of Moxi's presence on the mainland is not high, allowing all parties to ignore the past.

It's just that this kind of thing can't be avoided in the first grade of junior high school, but not in the fifteenth grade. If we continue to pursue it, we will definitely find them.

Whether there is evidence or not, those are just minor issues. Framing someone is not a difficult task.

In recent years, the Principality of Moxi has been spending money like water. The Alpha Kingdom, which is in a better situation, is very poor, but the Moxi Principality, which has greater expenses, is not affected.

Digging for treasures, this is the rhetoric of the Moxi government to the outside world. But this excuse can only fool ordinary people.

If someone calculated the expenses of the Principality of Moxi in recent years, it would be easy to find that the little profit from the treasure is just a drop in the bucket.

It is definitely easier to investigate at the source than to conduct a nonsensical investigation. Once all parties focus their suspicion on the Principality of Moxi, it will only be a matter of time before it is exposed.

The Principality of Moxi has also done a lot of things to launder money, and digging for treasures is just one of them. Gold and silver mines are also popping up in endlessly.

The most efficient way of laundering money is still: self-directed and self-acted issuance of bearer bonds to external parties.

In name, the bearer bonds issued by the Principality of Moxi are as high as 200 million gold coins, and the annual fiscal revenue is only enough to cover the interest on the funds. It seems that the Moxi government may go bankrupt at any time.

Even so, it still cannot keep up with the huge expenditures of the Morsi government. This is the price that must be paid for the snake swallowing the elephant.

Just looking at the Near East region, we can see that in just two years, the nobles of the kingdom spent 20 to 30 million gold coins on this land.

Hudson's Xueyue collar alone had more than eight million gold coins smashed into it. Even if they sit in Crescent Port and impose a high smuggling tax, they will only get back more than 1.5 million gold coins.

The Principality of Mossi has swallowed up an area of ​​land that far exceeds that of the Near East, and has resettled tens of millions of refugees. How could it be possible without spending money?

Hudson made a rough calculation. Just to fill the holes during the orc invasion, including repaying foreign debts, relieving domestic bankrupt nobles, and rebuilding the principality after the war, the expenses of the Moxi government would be as high as 150 million gold coins.

Before they had time to recover, another continental war ensued. As one of the main participating countries in the war, the Mossi people once again experienced a wave of money flowing like water.

Adding all the subsequent expenses, Hudson estimated that the capital hole of the Principality of Moxi would not be less than 400 million gold coins.

Under normal circumstances, when encountering such a financial black hole, the only way left for Moxi people is bankruptcy.

Not to mention opening up new territories and expanding the territory, being able to prevent a large number of people from starving to death is considered a young and promising monarch.

In the face of adversity, he managed to find a smooth path. I have to admit that George's courage is just a little bit more serious.

Hudson came up with this bad idea just to solve an urgent problem for the Morsi government. He never expected that George would actually carry it forward.

Judging from the feedback from various places, except for the areas controlled by the Holy See that have not been affected, almost all human countries have had their inheritance leaked.

It's just that the inherited knowledge obtained by each country is different. The earliest nobles of the Kingdom of Alpha received were directly contributed by an unlucky noble of the Principality of Moxi, and the rest came from other destroyed countries.

More than 30% of the nobles on the continent are paying for the rapid development of the Principality of Moxi. If economic problems arise again, it will be really unreasonable.

Some time ago, the Alpha Kingdom experienced an unprecedented money shortage due to a large outflow of gold and silver.

Logically speaking, the crisis in the Principality of Moxi, where the outflow of gold and silver was more serious, would only be more severe, but in the end nothing happened.

It is obvious that knowledge is passed down through fire sales, and the cash obtained from all over the mainland fills the huge hole of gold and silver outflow.

It’s just that the Moxi government is good at putting on a show, and has discovered “large gold mines” one after another, and has continued to falsely report the output of gold mines, making the outside world mistakenly believe that the gold mined has filled the gap.

Seeing his good brothers amassing money like crazy, Hudson could only look on with envy. The Moxi Principality can earn this money, but that doesn't mean he can earn it too.

It is very dangerous to seek profits that exceed your risk tolerance. Without the support of national power, relying solely on individuals may be stuck in the first step.

Simply screening potential customers is beyond what Hudson can accomplish. However, for a country, which nobles are rich and which nobles are poor may only be basic information.

Being able to keep it secret until now, apart from the caution of the Moxi people, there must be bloody methods behind it.

"Hudson, we are all out, what about the children?"

Melissa asked slightly hesitantly.

Obviously, she is also very interested in Master Kemboy's laboratory, but she is reluctant to let go of the two little guys.

"Don't worry, there are so many people in the Lord's Mansion, why are you afraid that no one will take care of them?

It just so happened that the old man came over to see his grandson, so it was not a big problem to ask him to help take care of him for two days. "

Hudson said nonchalantly.

The current Lord's Mansion is not the Caotai team of the past. The family knights are stationed on the left, and the Warcraft Legion is stationed on the right.

There are a lot of various protective magic arrays. Even if a strong man from the holy realm breaks in, he will have to take off a layer of skin.

There is no doubt that Hudson is so young now and is far from the time to consider heirs. The two little guys are not worth the risk of outsiders using Sanctuary masters.

If there are multiple strong men from the Sanctuary as assassins, it won't make any difference whether Melissa stays or not.

Of course, the success rate of assassination is still very low. The Lord's Mansion is so big, finding people is not an easy task.

Once the assassin is discovered, he will definitely hide in the secret room. There was a magic circle blocking the aura, so it was difficult to find anyone for a while.

After such a long delay, the troops guarding the lord's mansion had already surrounded him.

If the magic circle superimposes the army, if the response is slow, the strong men in the sanctuary will also be at risk of falling.

…

With the name of Master Kaimboy, the news of the auction had just spread, and it caused a stir throughout the continent.

Countless old antiques that were rarely seen on weekdays came out of seclusion and prepared to go to the Principality of Moxi to find out.

It can be said that George played big this time. In front of many important people, if one person cannot control it later, the performance will easily collapse.

Hudson has already entered the laboratory. As a famous magic pharmacist on the mainland, how could the grand drama planned by the Moxi people in the name of Master Kemboy be without his participation!

In the interlayer of the invitation, there is also the purchase of magic potions written by George in code words. The requirements are very simple: the more bizarre and alternative the magic potion is, the better, but it must be able to match the identity of Master Kemboy.

Since buyers are asking for it, Hudson won’t be polite!

The fake master of alchemy is also a master. As a master, you inevitably have a restless heart.

If there are no performance requirements, then feel free to use it. Today is different from the past. Hudson has also watched Melissa make medicine many times and learned some pharmaceutical processes, at least he will not explode the furnace.

As for the effect of the magic potion, you don’t drink it yourself anyway, you can just use it as you wish.

After a fierce operation, looking at the final potion, Hudson always felt dissatisfied.

"Maxim, how about you contribute some blood?"

Hudson asked tentatively.

He is probably the first dragon knight to dare to ask for dragon blood. Usually when this happens, a severe beating is inevitable.

It seems to be an equal contract, but due to their strength, most dragon knights have no confidence in facing the dragon.

The main reason why everyone can cooperate is "emotion". So if it hurts your feelings, it's best not to say it.

Due to the special situation of Hudson, the contract signed with Maxim was completed while the dragon was in danger, and the content was more favorable.

"Hudson, don't bully the dragon too much! Don't think that I can't do anything to you if you are bound by a contract.

If pressed, this dragon will breathe fire during mating to let..."

Before Maxim could finish speaking, Hudson hurriedly interrupted: "That's enough, Mr. Maxim!

If the transaction is not done in a humane and righteous manner, how can anyone threaten the buyer? A bowl of dragon blood costs 10,000 gold coins. If you are interested, we will make a deal. "

The dragon is a treasure. In the past few days, Hudson has successfully obtained dragon dung, dragon urine, dragon saliva and bath water.

There is no doubt that the effects of these discharged garbage are not much better. Apart from confusing the outside world, it has little real meaning.

But dragon blood is different.

According to ancient legend, bathing with dragon blood can cleanse the muscles and cut the marrow, and improve your cultivation qualifications; if it is used to make medicine, it can have even more effects.

However, this thing is too precious. Warriors who dare to reach out to the dragon for blood are rare in the history of the human race.

When it comes to specific research, magic potions related to dragon blood are actually very rare.

"Don't even think about insulting me with gold coins. The great dragon will never succumb to gold coins!"

Looking at the angry Maxim, Hudson knew that the price had not been negotiated. Maybe other dragons would stick to their principles, but Maxim is an exception.

"Dear Mr. Maxim, this price is already very fair. With your physique, a mere bowl of blood is nothing. I don't want your blood.

It only takes a short nap to recover, and it won't affect your body at all.

Forget it, who makes dragon blood rare? I will add five thousand gold coins! "

As soon as Hudson finished speaking, Maxim became even more angry. After talking for a long time, she still wanted his blood.

Just fifteen thousand gold coins to get him to give in was just a dream.

Negotiations failed and Hudson did not continue to increase the price. There is also a cost to consider when conducting experiments. If dragon blood were not too rare, a bowl of ordinary dragon blood would only be worth so much in terms of efficacy.

You can't get dragon blood, let alone bear blood. A big man like Maxim might not care about a bowl of blood, but Bear Stearns was different. He had never shed blood in his entire life.

It's scary to think about the naughty kid's revenge methods. Hudson didn't want the bed to suddenly collapse while he was sleeping, or the latrine to fall over while he was taking a shit.

…

Public opinion continued to ferment, and Pius VII was already in a state of distress. Problems have arisen in all the countries on the mainland. Even though the Holy See has a beautiful scenery, it is inevitable to be suspected.

But the problem is that they really didn’t do it!

There are many ways to disrupt the mainland. Even supporting cult organizations to cause chaos is better than spreading inherited knowledge wantonly.

In a short period of time, this kind of change will have a serious impact on the great nobles and aggravate the internal conflicts in various countries.

But some problems can be reconciled. The current contradiction is mainly the imbalance between supply and demand. After the completion of a round of political games, all parties will reach a new balance.

In this process, the military strength of mainland countries is rising. Everyone is increasing their strength together. If the Holy See does not want to fall behind, it can only bite the bullet and follow up.

In fact, they have fallen behind. Many small nobles have been practicing for several years after receiving the inherited knowledge, and their own strength has reached a higher level.

One step is slow, each step is slow.

Even if the Holy See immediately follows up, they will not be able to get back the lost time.

Originally, they were at a disadvantage in the competition with the Frankish Kingdom, but now that something like this happened again, the gap in strength between the two sides would only become wider.

"Have the results of the investigation come out? Was this done by the Franks?"

Pius VII asked with concern.

Whoever is the beneficiary is the suspect.

From the perspective of the Holy See, the Frankish Kingdom, which has the largest population, received the largest power bonus from this incident, further leaving their competitor behind, and is undoubtedly the biggest suspect.

"Your Majesty, we have already investigated and found no traces of the Franks' actions. However, this public controversy was indeed instigated by them.

There are rumors in the outside world that in order to make money, we sell questionable inherited knowledge everywhere.

There are also victims of accidents after practicing Falun Gong who came out in person to speak out and criticize us..."

Ulisse said awkwardly.

He is responsible for collecting intelligence, not producing it. What happened a few years ago, even if they find a small noble to buy the inheritance, they may not be able to remember the appearance of the trader.

What's more, even if they participate in the transaction, it's too late for everyone to make a fortune in silence. How can Tie Hanhan take the initiative to jump out and explain!

After the transaction is completed, most people deliberately forget this memory and make up an "adventure story" on their own, recording it in their family history.

Ulisse sent people out to investigate and found this thing in the hands of many small nobles.

So much so that he is still not sure whether this inherited knowledge was obtained through trade or whether he really had an adventure.

The main reason is that it has been too long, and even if the Pope himself uses the Great Prophecy, there is no way to go back a few years to trace the truth.

In recent times, various occult intelligence departments have used it again and again. The frequent disappearance of small nobles has also attracted great attention from various countries in the mainland.

In order to prevent all parties from getting caught, the intelligence agency had to reluctantly abandon multiple strongholds, resulting in a three-digit loss of intelligence personnel.

“No problem has been found on the Franks, so what about the Alpha Kingdom?

They are surrounded by foreigners and the military pressure is very high. In order to enhance their own strength, it is possible to do this kind of thing. "

Pius VII frowned and said.

If you can't find the number one heretic, then go find the number two heretic. Anyway, that's what they did in the past.

Based on past experience, more than 80% of the shady operations against the Holy See were carried out by these two families. The remaining 20% ​​is done by other countries on the mainland.

"After investigation, the situation in the Alpha Kingdom is special. Many of their nobles received their inheritance during the war.

It is said that for this matter, they also held a special meeting, targeting Hudson directly.

There are rumors that the Alpha Expeditionary Force was inherited from a large noble family in the Principality of Moxi. In order to keep the secret secret, Hudson directly roped in a number of nobles in the military to share it.

Because there were so many people involved, the secret was quickly leaked. Most of the small and medium-sized nobles in their country have received inheritance.

From a time perspective, the improvement of the strength of a large number of small nobles first started in the Alpha Kingdom.

However, these can only prove the situation of the Alpha Kingdom. Even if it spreads quickly in private, it will not spread throughout the continent in a short time.

What's more, the little nobles are not stupid. It is not very realistic to share the inherited knowledge with others.

Therefore, Alpha Kingdom's self-examination action ended in vain. Hudson is still a powerful marshal of the kingdom and has not been affected by the storm! "

Ulisse's answer made things even more confusing.

It wasn't the Franks, and it wasn't the Alphas. There were plenty of suspects left.

In recent years, the Holy See has basically focused its attention on these two heretical kingdoms, and has invested relatively little intelligence in other areas.

If further investigation is required, it cannot be completed in a short time. However, time waits for no one, and pressure from all parties has already hit us. Even the storm of Charles III proclaiming himself emperor has been diluted a lot.

After all, proclaiming the emperor is just a talk, and no substantive action has been taken. The spread of inherited knowledge has already happened.

"Cha, keep digging behind me!

If you can't find the real culprit, then try to find ways to rely on the Frank Kingdom and the Alpha Kingdom! "

Pius VII said cruelly.

If the truth cannot be found, let the competitors take the blame. These are all good traditions, and everyone is blaming each other anyway.

…

The dragon's roar sounded over the city of Da Pest, and the whole city fell silent for a while, and everyone turned their eyes to the sky.

A dramatic appearance was not Hudson's original intention. Unexpectedly, the traffic of the Dragon Knight is so huge. No matter where it is, as long as the Dragon Knight appears, it will definitely attract everyone's attention.

As a special guest, Hudson came here this time to help with the platform.

After all, it is Master Kaimboy's laboratory, which is very attractive even to the powerful ones in the sanctuary. Even if the Mossi people send heavy troops to guard it, there is no guarantee that no one will take desperate risks.

Hudson's appearance was deliberately made for these people to see. Don't let anyone do something stupid and mess up the drama that George carefully planned.

“Marshal, please come this way!

Your Majesty has prepared a banquet in the palace and is waiting for you to come over. "

A middle-aged officer hurried over and said.

The people who greeted him were all waiting in front of the palace gate. They didn't expect that Maxim was a confused dragon and landed at a random location.

Fortunately, the Mossi people were well prepared and had manpower deployed in many places in the city. Otherwise, Maxim would have to take off again and look for the gate of the palace.

"My wife is coming to Pest for the first time. Let's walk around the city first and then go to the palace!"

Hudson said calmly.

A big man never takes the wrong path, and if he does, there must be a deep meaning.
