King

The welcome banquet started, and the Hudsons, who were supposed to be the protagonists, did not become the focus. Instead, they were overtaken by the dragon and the bear who were doing the work.

In the continent of Aslant, it is nothing new for high-level Warcraft to be on the table. But it’s really rare to see people eating like Maxim and Bear Stearns.

Yilong and Yixiong picked up the plate and put it directly into their mouths, as if they hadn't eaten in decades. Especially Maxim, who was in a hurry to eat and sometimes even swallowed his plate.

Such an indecent way of eating made Hudson very embarrassed. Although the food standard in the territory was not as high as at the banquet on weekdays, he didn't dare to starve the dragon and bear!

If a nobleman did this, he would definitely be despised for a hundred years. If you switch to Maxim and Bear Stearns, it becomes "personality".

Some bold nobles even raised their wine glasses to propose a toast. Bear Stearns and Maxim were also welcome to come, and they could catch up with old friends when they met.

This change excited all the nobles. What is in front of them is the giant dragon and the earth bear. Looking at the entire Aslant continent, it is the ceiling of combat power.

"Hudson, your dragon and bear are so interesting!"

George said with an envious look.

This kind of thing is destined to be nothing but envy. Even if you are a king, you are not qualified to plot the sacred monsters.

The difference in strength is too big. Unless the monster takes the initiative to claim its master, even if it is forced to sign a contract, it will not be able to stop the backlash of the sacred monster.

"They have always been quite lively, especially their irresistibility to delicious food, which made His Majesty laugh."

Hudson responded with a smile.

He has long been used to the mutual bragging in business. If you can't brag about anything else, let's brag about the delicious food. This thing will definitely not violate taboos.

…

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the Hudsons and the Georges left the noisy banquet scene and entered the main hall at the rear.

The dragon and bear, who had been eating and drinking, reluctantly followed. Qualified bodyguards are not allowed to leave their employer for a long time.

Changing the venue did not affect their enjoyment of eating and drinking. George was very cooperative and ordered the chef to prepare an extra-large meal and deliver it.

With a glance, the queen took Melissa to the next door. In the hall, only George and Hudson were sitting looking at each other, as well as the dragon and the bear who were eating and drinking.

“Hudson, I’m in big trouble this time!

The principality's financial balance is seriously imbalanced. The government has tried every means to smooth out the accounts, but it still cannot fill the holes.

The main reason is that we did not estimate enough in the past and only focused on development, ignoring the issue of funding. The money he accidentally spent was far more than the principality should have.

After realizing this, the principality government continued to inflate its fiscal revenue, but compared with the black hole in the previous accounts, it was a drop in the bucket.

We have no choice but to hold an auction at this time. With so much money spent in recent years, it would be unjustifiable if the principality were not poor again.

With no choice, we can only throw out Master Kaimboy's laboratory that we have already discovered. Deliberately putting the government's finances on the verge of bankruptcy, it could only raise funds by selling treasures.

But this is still a drop in the bucket. This laboratory is just an ordinary laboratory used by Master Kemboy, and there are not many valuable things.

The items being auctioned now were all put together by the nobles of the principality. Whether it can be fooled is still unknown.

Hudson, you are the most famous alchemy master in the continent. Please lend me some treasures for emergency use! "

George said straight to the point.

It was Hudson's idea to exchange inherited knowledge for money. But I never expected that this kind of almost costless business would become addictive.

The Principality of Moxi has undoubtedly jumped into this huge pit, and the government will do something if it has no money. After struggling a few times, I turned around and realized that the inherited knowledge had spread all over the continent, and I couldn't hide it even if I wanted to.

"Magic potion is easy to say, but from the moment I received the invitation, I knew you were going to die.

When I came here this time, I brought all the inventory from previous research. Needless to say, borrowing money, Xueyue Ling is also short of money now. If someone is willing to pay a big price, then we can borrow your platform to sell it to them.

You can rest assured that these potions are of a certain standard. And this is the first time it has been released, so the efficacy of many medicines has not yet been tested.

The medicine bottle has also been aged, pretending to be the work of Master Kemboy, and will not look like a fake.

In order to cheer you up, I have also brought over the treasures that are temporarily unused in the warehouse.

If you're lucky, you might be able to sell it for one or two million gold coins. But compared to the holes you made, this is still a drop in the bucket! "

Hudson said boldly.

Helping and cheering is one thing, getting rich is the most important thing. The celebrity effect also applies to the Aslant continent.

No matter what kind of magic potion, as long as it is labeled as "Master Kemboy's Work", its value will be doubled immediately.

Although Ha's Magic Potion has gained a great reputation on the mainland, it is still far behind the one recognized by everyone as the number one magic pharmacist.

Not only can you help your friends improve their performance, but you can also make a fortune along the way. There is absolutely no reason not to participate.

The main reason is that the size of the laboratory is too small. Even under the banner of Master Kaimboy, the upper limit is still there.

Otherwise, Hudson wouldn't mind producing a bunch of weird magic potions and putting them up for auction. There is no need to study deliberately, it is enough to rely entirely on instinct.

Anyway, every magic potion master has a bunch of weird works. The birth of a magic potion is often filled with countless failed experiments.

If the test fails, it does not mean that the medicine is worthless. Many magic potions are modified from by-products of failed experiments.

Participating in the auction without knowing the specific effects is equivalent to opening a blind box.

If it were the work of an ordinary magician, no one would even take a glance at it, but it would be different if it bears the name of Master Kemboy.

The passage of time has not only failed to dilute the sacred halo around his head, but has become more deified by later generations.

According to rumors, Master Kaimboy also made potions to help people break through the holy realm. Although it is difficult to verify whether it is true or false, there are always people who are willing to take the risk.

Especially old guys who are approaching their longevity, they will take the risk even if there is only one ten thousandth chance.

Regardless of the side effects, the batch of potions that Hudson took out more or less have the function of improving cultivation.

But if you want to rely on these potions to break through the holy realm, it depends on whether the Lord of the Dawn bless you. On the contrary, the probability of immediate death is slightly higher.

"There is no way, the hole is really too big. Just fill in as many accounts as you can!"

The matter has been leaked out, and the Holy See is definitely not willing to help take the blame. With their strength, as long as they are willing to investigate, they will be able to pin the suspicion on the principality sooner or later.

It doesn't matter that the Holy See alone has been offended. They can't reach out to the principality at all now, but obvious evidence must not be left behind! "

George said solemnly.

It's not terrible to offend the Holy See. Anyway, except for the neighbor Alpha Kingdom, the rest of the Moxi Principality are all foreign races.

Once the Five Nations Alliance is formed, the Principality of Moxi will be safer. In the last continental war, the Holy See tricked the three countries of the Central Continent into a serious trap. Even if it is just to take revenge on the Holy See, the three countries will help them stand up.

The premise is: they cannot expose obvious evidence.

Without evidence, this is a muddled account.

The Frankish Kingdom will not recognize the findings of the Holy See, nor will the Alpha Kingdom. The three countries in the Central Continent need to be consistent with their allies, and the remaining human countries will only be dubious.

There is no way, the Holy See of Dawn now has so little credibility. Even if the Pope comes forward in person, it will be difficult for people to believe it 100%.

"By the way, Hudson. I heard that you established a Near East Development Bank. Please give me a sum of money to deal with it first!

You don’t need to actually spend any money, just publicize it to the outside world. As big as the loan amount can be, let me make it bigger.

The duchy will pay the handling fee and won’t embarrass you! "

As soon as the words fell, Hudson instantly understood George's true purpose. The previous auctions were just targets placed on the bright side.

When it comes to money laundering capabilities, banks are obviously more professional. Anyway, there are no regulatory agencies these days, and the internal accounts of the Near East Development Bank do not need to be disclosed to the outside world.

Fabricate a deposit and then fabricate a loan. The funds for lending are available, the bank's performance is available, and the source of funds for the government of the Principality of Moxi has a reasonable explanation.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with granting a huge low-interest loan to the Moxi government for the sake of the market in the Principality of Moxi.

Even if other shareholders see it, they will only think that it is a political transaction of exchanging money for the market.

When the cost of funds approaches zero indefinitely, there will be profits at any interest rate. Just make a fortune in silence, why bother struggling with money?

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Near East Development Bank is happy to add a high-quality customer!"

Hudson replied calmly.

Without any trace of water, the current Moxi Principality government is indeed a high-quality customer.

The high level of debt is only visible to the outside world. The lining is absolutely thick, and it is a good quality customer.

…

After a business deal was concluded, Hudson, who was free, took his wife to wander around the Principality of Moxi.

"Hudson, how did I find that your popularity here is better than in the kingdom?"

Melissa asked jokingly.

"It's not just better, it's clearly ten times better!

No matter how well things are done in China, there will always be people who are dissatisfied. My rise itself is a shock to the big aristocratic group.

It seems that everything is smooth sailing along the way, but in fact, the swords and swords behind the scenes never stop.

But it's different here. The foreign marshal is easy to lead the troops. No matter how he soars into the sky, he will not stay and fight for the cake with them.

Even if something unpleasant happens during the command process, everyone will quickly forget it.

There is no central conflict of interest and no one would mind having a marshal friend who can fight. As long as I don't get mixed up with specific interests, my popularity here will continue to improve! "

Hudson exclaimed.

It's not that he speculated with the greatest maliciousness of human nature, but the world is actually so cruel. Enemies and friends in aristocratic circles are often just a matter of seconds.

Even if they are brothers, when the conflict of interests reaches a certain level, both parties will fall out.

"Hudson, if you tell me this, I don't even know how to get along with those little sisters.

Forget it, you should just play with these ghost politics yourself, I'm too lazy to worry about it. "

Melissa said rolling her eyes.

For a traditional aristocratic woman like her, becoming best friends with the queen and princess is a complete upgrade in the social circle.

The world of aristocrats is very realistic. You can play with whatever your status is, otherwise it will be a burden to both parties.

As Hudson's status rose, Melissa also passively alienated the friends she used to play with. Because of the inconvenient transportation, I have been stuck in the territory, and I have no time to build a new social circle.

This time I followed Hudson out, and I finally made new friends and got along well with each other. However, I was ruthlessly exposed by Hudson again.

If left in the past life, this kind of straight male style would most likely end up alone.

"Whatever, as long as you are happy. Anyway, our territory is far enough away from the Principality of Moxi that there is no core conflict of interest between the two parties.

If you want to make friends, then make friends. As long as you grasp the balance well, you won't suffer any loss even if you think about it.

But let’s just say it’s okay to have friends. When it comes to your sons’ marriage, you can’t just make promises! "

Hudson ordered with a smile.

I am speechless when I think about it. Of my two sons, the eldest has not yet been educated, and the younger has just been weaned, and yet they are being targeted.

Not only the nobles in the country were eager to give it a try, but even the great nobles in the Principality of Moxi who had daughters of suitable age began to pay attention to them.

There is no doubt that this is infinitely optimistic about Hudson. I feel that a simple friendship is unreliable and I want to get married directly.

The second son's personal problem is actually not too big. Everyone's real goal is the eldest son.

Due to political considerations, Franz actually had few options for marriage. As long as Caesar IV gave birth to a daughter, no one else would have anything to do with it.

If the king does not have a daughter, the daughters and granddaughters of the princes in the royal family can also take over as long as they are of the right age.

Other options do not exist. For strategic security reasons, the royal family must also expand its influence within the Koslow family.

The most effective and least likely to cause backlash is naturally political marriage.

Members of the Koslow family also want to close their relationship with the royal family and consolidate their hard-won status as a great noble.

After all, this is a world that advocates bloodline theory. The Koslow family is very lacking in this aspect. If you want to brag outside, you can't find a more awesome ancestor than Hudson.

"Don't worry, I have also received the education of a noble lady. I still know what I can and cannot agree to.

Without talking about these topics, the Calculate Time Auction is about to start. This is not a welcome banquet specially prepared for us. If you don’t go there, you will miss it! "

Melissa replied with an annoyed look on her face.

Deep down in her heart, she couldn't help but secretly wonder where she had lost her sense of proportion and let her husband repeatedly warn her.

"I have already obtained the list at the auction. There are indeed some good treasures, but unfortunately they don't mean much to us.

This auction attracted a lot of old people, all of whom had very sharp eyesight and couldn't pick anything up.

In the past, I just watched the excitement. It didn’t matter whether it was earlier or later! "

He said it wasn't important, but Hudson still picked up Melissa and got on the dragon's back. It is human nature to eat melons and watch the excitement, and there is no distinction between high and low status.

Under the banner of Master Kaimboy, the scene is destined to be huge. If there are not enough auction items, it will not be able to sustain the venue.

What's more, an auction of this level will also attract a group of grassroots mercenaries with no backstage to participate. Although most people are just here to make up the numbers, there are still some lucky people who can come up with treasures to send for auction.

Maxim was very fast and rushed out with a whooshing sound. He quickly arrived at his destination, just in time to catch the first treasure of the auction.

"A set of unknown magic potions, personally identified by several alchemy masters. These potions are filled with ownerless energy and have the effect of increasing cultivation.

The above potions are all made by Master Kaimboy, and even though countless years have passed, their effects are still intact.

There is a master alchemist on site who can personally check and verify the authenticity.

The time has come to test your eyesight. Maybe these potions can make people fly into the sky, or they may be ordinary magic potions.

The starting price is now 6,000 gold coins, and each bid increase must not be less than 200 gold coins. The auction begins! "

As the auctioneer's words fell to the ground, several alchemy masters flew away from their positions and rushed directly to the auction table for verification.

Seeing Robert in the crowd looking at the potion with a sullen expression, Hudson couldn't help but want to laugh.

I have to admit that the Moxi people are still good at manipulating people's hearts. They pose problems for everyone and disturb everyone's minds.

These potions are all original to Hudson. Today is the first time he sees them in public. It's strange to be able to recognize them.

The only thing that can prove that it was made by a master alchemist is that the potion is filled with a large amount of ownerless energy, as if anyone can absorb it.

The same raw materials and the same formula are used to refine the magic potion, but there is also a gap in efficacy.

Generally speaking, a master alchemy master can usually retain most of the energy in the potion and allow the potion to exert its maximum effect.

The main purpose of these potions on the stage is that they contain a lot of energy, and at first glance, they are not something that ordinary magicians and pharmacists can complete.

Including Robert, all the alchemy masters present were dumbfounded.

No identification is needed, it must be the work of Master Kemboy. Because even with their level of alchemy masters, they cannot fill the potion with such a huge amount of energy.

"I think there is nothing wrong with these potions. If you don't find anything wrong, then go ahead and bid!"

Robert opened his mouth to make a rescue.

As an ally, you should lend a hand at critical moments. Keep these old guys watching. If someone can't help but take action and the situation gets out of control, it will be troublesome.

…
