Chapter 510

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

Melissa asked eagerly.

"Master Kemboy", to all magicians, is a god-like existence.When his laboratory is discovered, it will definitely attract countless eyes.

As a magician, Melissa is no exception.Judging by the eager expression, it was clearly saying: Take her with you.

After living together for a few years, Hudson still has some judgment.It's a pity that the laboratory thrown out by the Moxi people may not be real!
Under normal circumstances, when such a thing is discovered, everyone would like to hide it tightly. Who will disclose the information?
Even if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are also afraid of thieves thinking about it!
Of course, the fraud will not be too much.Judging from the previous excavations of treasures by the Mosi people, the laboratory must have been used by Master Kemboy. It is hard to say whether it was discovered just now.

As a top player, Camboy traveled to the mainland and left footprints in many places.

It's just that he disappeared suddenly and mysteriously, leaving no systematic inheritance.None of them, including his students, could fully inherit the research results of Master Kempey.

"Go, must go!

The laboratory of Master Kemboyi, which was just discovered, should have maintained its original appearance. As a magician, how could he not visit it?

Stay at home and have nothing to do.Melissa, you go shopping with me too! "

Hudson said with a smile.

It's okay to go out for a walk, this invitation is written by George himself.It seems that nothing is said above, but in fact everything is said.

The situation is very obvious, and the Principality of Moxi is about to lose its hold.Fortunately, the presence of the Principality of Moxi on the mainland is not high, making all parties ignore the past.

It's just that this kind of thing can be avoided after the first day of junior high school, but not the fifteenth day.If you continue to investigate, they will definitely be found.

Evidence or no evidence, those are minor issues.Planting and framing 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 clinking poorly, and the Principality of Moxi, which is more expensive, is unexpectedly unaffected.

Digging for treasure, this is what the Moxi government said to the outside world.But this excuse can only fool ordinary people.

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

Investigating from the source is definitely easier than nonsensical investigations.Once all parties lock the suspicion on the Principality of Moxi, it will be a matter of time before it is exposed.

The Principality of Moxi has also done a lot of things to launder money. Treasure mining is only one of them. Gold mines and silver mines are also emerging in an endless stream.

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

Nominally, the bearer bonds issued by the Principality of Moxi are as high as [-] million gold coins, and the annual fiscal revenue is only enough to fill in 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 expenditure of the Moxi government.This is the price that snakes must pay.

Just looking at the Near East region, we can see that in just two years, a group of nobles in the kingdom spent 3000 to [-] million gold coins on this land.

Hudson's Xueyue collar alone cost more than 800 million gold coins.Even if they were sitting in New Moon Harbor and levied high smuggling taxes, they only got back more than 150 million gold coins.

The land area swallowed by the Principality of Moxi far exceeds that of the Near East, and tens of millions of refugees have been resettled. How can it be possible without spending money?
Hudson roughly calculated that just filling the holes during the orc invasion, including repayment of foreign debts, relief of domestic bankrupt nobles, and post-war reconstruction of the principality, the cost of the Moxi government was as high as 5000 million gold coins.

Before he could recover, another continental war ensued.As one of the main countries participating in the war, the Moxi people once again experienced a wave of spending money like water.

Adding up the various subsequent expenses, Hudson estimates that the capital hole of the Principality of Moxi will not be less than [-] million gold coins.

Under normal circumstances, when encountering such a black hole of funds, the only way left for the Moxi people is to go bankrupt.

Not to mention expanding the territory and keeping the people from starving to death in large numbers, it is considered a young and promising monarch.

In the midst of adversity, there is a smooth road out of hard work.I have to admit George's courage, but the sequelae are so serious.

Hudson came up with this bad idea back then, just to solve the urgent need for the Moxie government. He never thought that George would carry it forward.

Judging from the feedback from various places, except for the area controlled by the Holy See, which has not been impacted, almost all human countries have leaked inheritance.

It’s just that the inheritance knowledge obtained by each country is different. The earliest one obtained by the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom was directly contributed by a hapless nobleman in the Principality of Moxi, and the rest came from other destroyed countries.

More than [-]% of the nobles in the entire continent are paying for the rapid development of the Principality of Moxi. If there are economic problems again, it will really be unreasonable.

Some time ago, the Alpha Kingdom experienced an unprecedented money shortage due to the massive 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 worse, but nothing happened in the end.

Obviously, the cash obtained from all over the mainland by selling inherited knowledge has filled the huge pit of gold and silver outflow.

It’s just that the Moxi government will act, discovering “large gold mines” one after another, and constantly falsely reporting the output of gold mines, making the outside world mistakenly believe that the mined gold has filled the gap.

Watching his good brothers raking in money, Hudson can only envy him from the sidelines.The Moxi Principality can earn this money, but it doesn't mean he can earn it too.

It is very dangerous to want to obtain profits beyond one's own risk tolerance.Without the support of the national power, I am afraid that the first step will be stuck by the individual alone.

Screening potential customers alone is not something Hudson can accomplish.However, for a country, which nobles are rich and which nobles are poor, these may only be basic information.

It can be kept secret until now, except that the Moxi people are cautious, there must be bloody methods behind it.

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

Melissa asked hesitantly.

Obviously, she also has a lot of interest in Master Kempey's laboratory, but she is reluctant to part with the two little guys.

"Don't worry, there are so many people in the lord's mansion, are you afraid that no one will take care of you?
It just so happened that the old man came to see his grandson, so it wasn't a big problem to ask him to take care of him for two days. "

Hudson said indifferently.

The current Lord's Mansion is not the grass-roots 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 guardian magic circles, even if the strong in the sanctuary break in, they will take off a layer of skin.

There is no doubt that Hudson is so young now, it is far from the time to consider an heir, and the two little guys are not worthy of taking risks with sanctuary masters.

If there were multiple Sanctuary powerhouses serving as assassins, whether or not Melissa stayed would have no effect.

Of course, the success rate of the assassination is still very low.The Lord's Mansion is so big, it's not easy to find someone.

Once the assassin is found, he will definitely hide in the secret room.There is a magic circle blocking the breath, and it is difficult to find people for a while.

After such a long delay, the army guarding the Lord's Mansion had already surrounded it.

The magic array superimposes the army. If the reaction is slow, the strong in the sanctuary will also be at risk of falling.

……

With the name of Master Kempey, the news of the auction has just spread, and it has caused a stir all over the continent.

Countless old antiques that are rarely seen on weekdays have come out of seclusion, ready to go to the Principality of Moxi to find out.

It can be said that George played Dafa this time.In front of many important figures, if one of them can't control it later, it's easy for the play to collapse.

Hudson has already entered the laboratory. As a famous magic pharmacist on the mainland, how could the Moshi people plan the drama under the name of Master Kempey without his participation!
In the mezzanine of the invitation letter, there is also the purchase of magic potions written by George in code words.The requirements are very simple: the more exotic and alternative the magic potion, the better, but it must be able to match the identity of Master Camboy.

Since buyers are asking for this, Hudson is not welcome!
A fake alchemy master is also a master.As a master, it is inevitable to have a restless heart.

If there is no performance requirement, then it can be used freely.Today is different from the past, Hudson has also watched Melissa's refining medicine many times, and learned some pharmaceutical processes, at least he can't fry the furnace.

As for the efficacy of the magic potion, anyway, I didn't drink it by myself, so I can use it as I like.

The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and Hudson always felt dissatisfied when looking at the final finished medicine.

"Maxim, why don't you donate some blood?"

Hudson asked tentatively.

The dragon knight who dared to ask the dragon for the dragon's blood, reckoned that he was the first one.Usually when this happens, a beating is inevitable.

It seems to be a contract of equality, but because of their strength, most dragon knights have no confidence in facing the dragon.

Everyone can cooperate, mainly relying on "feelings".So if you hurt your feelings, it's better not to say it.

Hudson's situation is special. 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 there is a contract, and I can't do anything about you.

In case of emergency, this dragon will breathe fire during mating, so that..."

Before Maxim could finish speaking, Hudson hurriedly interrupted: "Enough, Mr. Maxim!

There is no benevolence and righteousness in the transaction, so how can anyone come up to threaten the buyer.A bowl of dragon's blood costs [-] gold coins. If you are interested, we will make a deal. "

The dragon is full of treasures. In the past days, Hudson has successfully obtained dragon dung, dragon urine, as well as the dragon's saliva and bath water.

There is no doubt that the effect of these excreted garbage is not much better.Apart from confusing the outside world, there is not much real meaning.

But dragon blood is different.

According to ancient legend, taking a bath with dragon blood can cleanse the tendons and cut the marrow, and improve the cultivation qualification; if it is used for medicine, it can exert more effects.

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

When it comes to specific research, in fact, dragon blood-related magic potions are still very rare.

"Don't even try to insult me ​​with gold coins, the great dragon will never succumb to gold coins!"

Looking at the angry Maxim, Hudson knew that the price was not agreed.Perhaps other dragons would stick to the principles, but Maxim was 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 essence.

After taking a nap, you will recover, and it will not affect your body at all.

Forget it, who made dragon blood so rare, I'll add another five thousand gold coins! "

As soon as Hudson finished speaking, Maxim's anger became even more intense.After talking for a long time, I still want his blood.

Just [-] gold coins, just wanting him to succumb, is simply a dream.

Negotiations failed, and Hudson did not continue to increase the price.Doing experiments also has to consider the cost. If the dragon's blood is not too rare, in terms of efficacy, a bowl of ordinary dragon's blood is only worth so much.

If you can't get dragon blood, let alone bear blood.A big man like Maxim may not care about a bowl of blood, but Bear Stearns is different, he has never shed blood at his age.

It's scary to think about the brat's revenge.Hudson doesn't want the bed to collapse while he's sleeping, and the latrine to collapse while he's shitting.

……

Public opinion continued to ferment, and Pius VII was already utterly devastated.All countries in the mainland have problems, but the scenery of the Holy See is unique, and 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 if it is to support cult organizations to cause chaos, it is better than wantonly spreading inherited knowledge.

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

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

In this process, the military strength of the countries on the mainland is on the rise.Let's increase our strength together. If the Holy See doesn't want to fall behind, it can only bite the bullet and follow up.

In fact, they have fallen behind.Many minor nobles have been cultivating for several years after obtaining the inherited knowledge, and their own strength has already reached a higher level.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

Even if the Holy See follows up immediately, 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 this happens again, the gap in strength between the two sides will only widen.

"Have the results of the investigation come out? Was it the work of the Franks?"

Pius VII asked concerned.

Whoever is the beneficiary is the suspect.

From the point of view of the Holy See, the Frankish Kingdom with the largest population has gained the greatest strength bonus in this accident, further throwing off their competitors, and is undoubtedly the biggest suspect.

"Your Majesty, we have already investigated and found no trace of the Franks' action. But this public opinion disturbance was indeed provoked by them.

It is rumored by the outside world that in order to make money, we sell problematic inherited knowledge everywhere.

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

Ulise said in embarrassment.

He is in charge of collecting intelligence, not producing it.What happened a few years ago, even if they found the little nobles who bought the inheritance, they might not remember the appearance of the trader.

What's more, even if they participated in the transaction, it would be too late for everyone to make a fortune silently. How could there be Tie Hanhan who took the initiative to come forward and confess!

After the transaction is completed, most people deliberately forget this memory, make up a "adventure story" by themselves, and record it in the family history.

Ulise sent people out to investigate, and found this thing in the hands of many minor nobles.

So much so that he is not sure now whether these inherited knowledge were traded, or whether they really got an adventure.

The main reason is that the time is too long, even if the Pope personally casts the great prophecy, there is no way to go back a few years to trace the truth.

In the recent period of time, various secret arts and intelligence departments have used it over and over again.The frequent disappearance of minor nobles has also aroused great concern from mainland countries.

In order to prevent all parties from catching the handle, the intelligence department had to reluctantly give up many strongholds, and the loss of intelligence personnel was as high as three digits.

"There is no problem with the Franks, so what about the Alpha Kingdom?
They are under great military pressure in the encirclement of foreign races, and it is possible to do this kind of thing in order to strengthen their own strength. "

Pius VII frowned and said.

If you can't find the number one heretic, then go find the number two heresy. Anyway, in the past, you have always done this.

According to past experience, more than [-]% of the dark operations against the Holy See were carried out by these two companies.The remaining [-]% ​​was done by other countries on the mainland.

"After investigation, the situation of the Alpha Kingdom is special. Many of the nobles in their country were inherited during the war.

It is said that for this matter, they also held a special meeting, and pointed the finger at Hudson.

According to gossip, the Alpha Expeditionary Army obtained the inheritance of a great nobleman in the Principality of Moxi back then.In order to keep the secret, Hudson directly invited a group of nobles in the army to share.

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

From the perspective of time, the strength of a large number of small nobles has improved, and it first started from the Alpha Kingdom.

However, these can only prove the situation of the Alpha Kingdom. Even if it spreads quickly in private, it is impossible to spread it all over the mainland in a short period of time.

What's more, the little nobles are not stupid, and it is not very realistic to share the inherited knowledge that they have obtained desperately with others.

Therefore, the self-examination operation of the Alpha Kingdom ended without a problem.Hudson is still a high-ranking marshal of the kingdom, and has not been hit by the storm! "

Ulisse's answer made things even more confusing.

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

In recent years, the Holy See has basically focused on these two heretical kingdoms, and relatively little intelligence investment in other regions.

If further investigation is to be done, it cannot be completed in a short time.But time waits for no one, the pressure from all sides has already rushed to the face, and even the incident of Charles III proclaiming the emperor has been diluted a lot.

After all, proclaiming the emperor is just talking about it, and has not taken any substantive actions. Inheriting knowledge is flying all over the sky, but it has already happened.

"Check, keep digging for me!
If you can't find the real culprit, then try your best to rely on the Kingdom of Frank and the Kingdom of Alpha! "

Pius VII said cruelly.

If the truth cannot be found out, let the competitors take the blame.These are good traditions, anyway, everyone is throwing blame at each other.

……

The sound of dragon chant sounded over the city of Da Pest, and the whole city became silent for a while, and everyone turned their eyes to the sky.

It's not Hudson's original intention to pull the wind.However, the traffic of Dragon Knight is so big, no matter where it is, as long as Dragon Knight appears on the stage, it will definitely attract the attention of the audience.

As a special guest, Hudson's coming this time also means helping the platform.

After all, it is the laboratory of Master Kemboy, which is quite attractive even to the powerhouses in the sanctuary.Even if the Mosi people send heavy troops to guard, there is no guarantee that no one will take risks.

Hudson's appearance this time was deliberately made for these people to see.Save someone from doing stupid things and messing up the drama that George has carefully planned.

"Marshal, this way please!
Your Majesty has prepared a banquet in the palace, and is waiting for you to go there. "

A middle-aged officer hurriedly ran to speak.

The people who greeted him were all waiting in front of the palace gate. They didn't expect Maxim to be a confused dragon who landed at a random place.

Fortunately, the Moxi people had already prepared and arranged manpower in many places in the city.Otherwise, Maxim would have to take off again, looking for the gate of the palace.

"It's my wife's first visit to Da Pest, let's go for a walk in the city first, and then go to the palace!"

Hudson said pretending to be calm.

A big man will never go the wrong way. If he goes the wrong way, it must have a deep meaning.
