While Aarons was still testing other people's reactions, the Chamber of Commerce convoy led by Keliya had already driven out of the border territory in a mighty manner.

There are not many roads suitable for wheeled vehicles in the empire, so the trucks were specially modified before departure - not only most of the alchemical parts were replaced, but also wheels that are more suitable for off-road.

Because these things are made of magical beast materials, this modification also completely emptied all the inventory in Jiangyue's hands.

"But it's worth it. After all, this convoy is our mobile base. Of course, the more durable the better."

Alchemical materials are not suitable for use in a magical environment, and they are easy to disintegrate when encountering fighting spirit or magic attacks.

However, due to its light weight and low cost, it is actually used a lot in large-scale transportation tools such as airships that require strict control of tonnage.

In order to prevent the magic power generated by the magic source furnace from destroying the structure of the airship, all energy transmission pipelines need to use special anti-magic materials... So this fills in the original cost savings.

"It's because the airship is too expensive that I said Duke Booker would never swallow this."

"So you don't drive your own ship over there because you're worried about being attacked by the enemy?"

"If I drive the Prison Flower over there, the enemy will shoot it down with array guns the next day."

Keliya drove her own convertible SUV at the front of the convoy, and her car only carried Karin - after all, Spider Sakura's weight was too outrageous.

"Even if I die outside 'accidentally', the royal family can't do anything to the nobles. After all, the lifeline of the country is in the hands of these people. If they insist on attacking them, it will turn into a civil war."

Because the Kingdom of Cardia in the west and the Kingdom of Sunset in the south have always coveted the territory of the empire, once the empire is in chaos, these countries will immediately invade.

"That's why I want someone like this to go there. Not only will the other party be wary of whether I have a backup plan, but it will also be difficult to stop my actions."

"But since you are going to visit the Duke's house, will the other party set up an ambush for you there?"

"Ahaha, if they really dare to attack me at home, then I have a reason to kill them all."

Although she never showed any dark side in front of Aarons, Karin, who is good at guessing other people's thoughts, knows very well that so many years of resentment have long made Keliya's mental state and thinking mode deviate from the normal range.

In this world, perhaps only Aarons can calm the mania and cruelty in her heart-if something happens to Aarons, she may kill all the people involved without hesitation.

"If they really dare to do that, it will save me a lot of trouble... I really hope that the Duke is an emotional idiot."

"This possibility is too small."

Karin knows very well that Keliya went to see Duke Booker alone this time, actually to find an excuse to kill him.

Destroying the economy of the other party's territory is actually a backup option. As long as she can find a suitable reason, Her Royal Highness will kill without hesitation.

"My plan is actually very simple. If they don't give me a chance to act, we will blow up all their magic source stone mines."

"Your Highness, we'd better bring more things back. After all, if we really have to go to war with Cardia, we won't be able to import all kinds of raw materials from Corinth."

"Well, let's see if there are any good things worth taking away in the Duke's territory. Anyway, don't worry!"

After thinking carefully, Karin found that this action did not have much technical content.

The other people in the Chamber of Commerce are basically franchisees. It doesn't matter if they are attacked by the Duke's family. And the three main people have terrible combat power. No one can stop them.

- So when you encounter a problem, you just need to crush it with force.

...

"Oh, is this the city of the Duke's territory? It looks quite prosperous."

"Report. According to the pre-entered map, this is just a village."

"Are ordinary villages so rich? Hmm... Let the convoy stop nearby to rest! The three of us will go in to check out the situation!"

After driving for most of the day and crossing two territories, the White Wing Chamber of Commerce finally officially entered the Duke's territory.

When she saw the first village, Keliya was attracted by the scene there - although it was just a village, it was as prosperous and lively as a small city.

So Keliya immediately stopped the convoy, and then jumped out of the car with Karin, and followed the landing Spider Sakura to the place.Village.

——If every place in the Duke of Booker is so rich, then they have to re-evaluate the value of this territory.

"Welcome, are you ladies travelers from outside? If you want to find a job, we are recruiting hunters who can hunt monsters."

"Monsters? Are those people over there mercenaries?"

After entering the village, Keliya immediately saw a large group of people gathered in the square doing something, and after asking the man who looked like a villager next to her, she got a somewhat unexpected answer.

"Yes, recently the Duke is buying all kinds of monster materials at a high price. And there are many monsters living in groups near our small village, so there are so many mercenaries gathered here."

"Buy at a high price? How much higher than the original price?"

"The lowest is twice... I heard from those mercenaries that the Duke's people bought these materials and seemed to be planning to build something. Even the commission of the craftsmen has increased a lot. Many people who can forge iron in the village have gone to Booker City to try their luck."

What monster materials are the Duke's family buying in large quantities?

Claire didn't know much about technical matters, but she was keenly aware that there seemed to be something fishy about it.

"Sister Karin, I have an idea."

"Are you planning to steal their business or mess with them?"

"We don't have that many people, so we can't do anything too complicated. I plan to quietly track the flow of these materials and see what they are making."

If you can take it away, then take it. If you can't take it away, then destroy it. Since Duke Booker dares to spend money without hesitation, he must be making something special.

As long as he can destroy this plan, he can severely damage the other party's capital chain and resource reserves.

"If I can steal good things, I don't have to prepare a dowry."

"Huh? Have you started thinking about getting married?"

"Well, as long as I get rid of this old guy, I will go back and officially marry my husband."

Although Claire unconsciously said the forbidden words of the flag-raising ceremony, Karin didn't think she would be in any danger.

It's better to say that the other party should be worried.
