Chapter 645: Chaos Frenzy
Even Goron himself had to suspect that the three goddesses of fate must be maliciously trying to kill him. Every time he puts a lot of things in front of him, all of them are important and urgent, and he can't do it, but before he can completely solve the trouble in front of him, there will be new things waiting for him to deal with, and when he deals with new troubles, there will always be such and such problems when he has done half of the things before, creating more trouble for him.
This is the case with the Black City Chamber of Commerce, the prehistoric ruins, and the Huwen family...... Obviously, one thing went smoothly at the beginning, but when he went to work on something else and looked back, he lost control again. It seems that nothing is willing to be solved smoothly and comfortably by the little ogre.
During his time trapped in the prehistoric ruins, Durontar the Great ordered a strict investigation of the case of the Montenegro Royal Prison, but this matter did not seem to be so simple from the beginning, the three Praetorian Guards, known as the last trump card of the royal family, the Tooth of Imperial Power, the Sword of the Emperor, and the Fist of Imperial Power, the three forbidden armies all joined the investigation mission one after another, and the level of secrecy was adjusted to the highest, and no one was allowed to approach the Royal Prison, which made people panic.
Of course, Goron knew a little more about this than the old butler Sebasta, who already had the tooth of imperial power with a disobedient heart, and somehow got a little bit of news that the Brahadley family was secretly digging and studying prehistoric ruins. And their real purpose is not to investigate the murder of the old marquis, but to embezzle the research results of the Brahadley family. That is, the human transformation materials in Golon's hands, and the army of transforming living corpses.
Moreover, it is very likely that the three forbidden armies of the empire have all betrayed the king of a country, the fear of Emperor Durontar.
However, these things Goron knew in his own heart, so naturally it was impossible to tell the old butler. What's more, the focus of his main concern now is not here.
The old butler spoke to Goron in a strange manner, as if they were still in constant contact with the little ogre during the time he was trapped in the ancient ruins, and only recently he had left Mandala Fort, and Sebasta didn't know that the "present" Goron didn't know anything at all, so he casually said something that would make the little ogre angry.
The Huwen family took advantage of the maze of Golomb, that is, Amanda's accidental involvement in the assassination of the Marquis of Brahadley in prison, and the tragic death, which successfully aroused the Emperor's guilt for the eternal loss of his old lover Count Amanda. Out of reparation, Durontar showed kindness to the Huwen family and handed over the important task of executing nobles to the Huwen family again, thus allowing Huwen to temporarily escape the danger of the destruction of the entire clan.
Of course, Goron was very suspicious of the mentally ill emperor, he just took advantage of this incident, after all, he had already reached an agreement with him, and he seemed to have no reason to continue to embarrass the Huwen family.
Then the "kind and wise" relatives and elders of the same clan who pushed the woman to the front to block the gun when they encountered something turned their faces as soon as the crisis was resolved, and on the grounds that the Huwen family's style of acting was too radical and ruthless in retaliating against the magnates of the imperial capital, which would cause public anger and cause trouble for the family, they suddenly launched a rebellion within the clan, forcibly removed and detained the acting patriarch Michelle, and placed under house arrest the greatest hero who saved the family, the son of the return, Golia Huwen.
Of course, the "Golia" who was under house arrest by them was not the genuine goods in front of him, but the uncle of Golia, who had nominally died in prison, Amanda Huwen, the first beauty in the mainland. Golon, the uncle, is proficient in the art of disguise, and his appearance is very similar to Golon, under his deliberate disguise, no one knows that the little ogre has already been dropped.
Then Michelle, who was ousted by the Huwen family, successfully escaped from Mandala Fort alone, and got together with the Survey Corps, who had recently gained fame for attacking the Brahadley family.
But to everyone's surprise, Michelle, who received strong reinforcements, did not embarrass the stupid and despicable family "blood relatives" who framed him and rescued the house arrest "Gloria Huwen". Instead, she was inexplicably recklessly involved in the investigation of the royal prison, and legend has it that she took the soldiers of the investigation corps to forcibly enter the prison to search, but as a result, there was friction with the three forbidden armies, and the two sides fought fiercely.
However, these big events that caused a sensation in Montenegro were just introductions, and they didn't even receive much attention, because the annual auction of the Black City Chamber of Commerce has attracted everyone's attention for the events that can really affect the fate of the world in the future.
The Black City Chamber of Commerce is a miraculous emerging force that has risen in the past two or three years, making its fortune on the three most lucrative businesses of arms trade, skin and meat business, and slave trade, supplemented by other commercial trade and intelligence trafficking in black and white, and has accumulated incredible wealth in a short period of time, and has become a behemoth that can affect the direction of the situation on the entire continent.
Of course, well-informed and discerning people know that the biggest contributor to the Black City Chamber of Commerce is not the current boss of Black City, the former sea slave trader Cameron. It's the genius who has strong organizational planning ability and can seize any business opportunity, the female wonder woman Cassandra. Then everyone also knew that Cassandra was defeated and seized power by Cameron, who was also one of the three giants of the Black City, and now her life and death are unknown, and her whereabouts are unknown.
Although this result is unbelievable, there are many doubts, but the facts are in front of him, Cameron, who seemed to be the most mediocre fat man among the Big Three, suddenly announced to the public that he was the real big boss of the Black City Chamber of Commerce who has always maintained a mysterious identity and never appeared in public.
This blatant lie has become true because no one has come forward to refute it. After all, even the auction of the "Dragon Slaying Compendium" of the God Extermination Tool was presided over by the fat man himself, which is already very revealing.
However, this auction of the century was not destined to be smooth sailing from the beginning......
With the weight of the "Dragon Slaying Compendium", let alone as the finale of the auction, it is normal to hold an exclusive auction specifically for it.
But Cameron, the dead fat man who was maliciously pushed to the forefront by Goron, seemed to be afraid that things would not be big enough, not only was he not in a hurry to shoot the "Dragon Slaying Compendium", which might cause him to be killed, but instead hyped it up as a show, and deliberately sold the much-anticipated "Dragon Slaying Compendium" before the auction officially started Instead of mentioning it, he threw out a large number of highly attractive lots, including the North Sea mermaid royal slave whose meat is said to have long been extinct, and whose flesh can be eternally young, epic magical equipment, a superb red stone sacrifice the size of a human head, and a note on the study of plane rules suspected to be from the Magic Emperor......
Anything one of these lots can cause a big splash and serve as the final finale at a world-class auction. And Cameron even went so far as to say that these things are just "ordinary" goods at auction, and that there are bigger, more "scary" surprises at this auction, and they are by no means the "well-known" treasures.
The dead fat man obviously wants to take this opportunity to truly establish his image as the lord of the Black City Chamber of Commerce, so as to completely get rid of the influence of the rumored mysterious big boss and Cassandra.
He was undoubtedly successful, and this series of publicity offensives, coupled with the attention brought by the God Exterminator, turned this Black City auction into an unprecedented event before it officially began. Even the shocking case in the Montenegrin Royal Prison, and even the Emperor's wedding that has not yet been officially held, have attracted almost no attention.
The Black City auction is scheduled to take place in four sessions, and is nominally open to everyone, whether it is a beggar-civilian, a non-human race, or a member of a hostile nation. However, there is an additional rule that, starting with the second auction, only those who have successfully won a lot in the previous auction will be eligible to participate in the next auction.
I have to say that as a businessman, the dead fat Cameron is indeed a genius, as soon as his seemingly strange rules came out, from the first primary auction, the auction venue became a bidding hell, and no one could save strength for bidding on the final exhibits. In order to compete for a ticket to the next auction, some ordinary lots that are not very popular can fetch sky-high prices. And this has also become a battlefield for those forces that are eyeing the ultimate goal, "Dragon Slaying Compendium", to test the opponent's financial resources.
The result of everyone's battle is to make the Black City Chamber of Commerce make a lot of money, not to mention that there are no unsold lots, and even a very ordinary elf slave girl can sell the elf princess for the price.
The first two auctions were successfully held, and the number of qualified buyers was less than 100. However, on the eve of the much-anticipated third auction, which is about to take place, an event that shocked Montenegro happened......
Someone took advantage of the late night to attack the Black City Chamber of Commerce, the Chimera Hall located in the core area of Montenegro, and looted all the items in all the warehouses.
This incident immediately caused a sensation on the mainland. Compared to this, the case of the Royal Prison is a trivial matter. After all, the Black City Chamber of Commerce's wealth that made the national treasury envious was not to mention, and the theft of the "Dragon Slaying Compendium" of the God Exterminator alone was enough to shake the world.
This incident is actually not surprising, after all, if you don't consider your own strength, it can be said that everyone in the imperial capital will have the idea of doing this case and the motive for committing this crime. Everyone is suspicious, including the Montenegrin royal family, envoys from various countries, ancient wealthy families, bandits, bandits, pirates, and even the fat Cameron himself.
It is precisely because there are too many suspects that this case has become impossible to start, and no one dares to investigate. What's even more strange is that when such a big thing happened, the Great Durontar didn't react at all, and he didn't even appear in public these days.
The three forbidden armies of the empire rushed into the Montenegrin prison and did not come out, and the spy agency also pretended to be dead, and the Montenegrin garrison stared dryly, watching those big forces accuse each other, suspect and abuse each other, and then fight, the entire imperial capital was once reduced to a battlefield, and there were people fighting day and night, and there were rivers of blood all day long, and corpses were everywhere.
However, the opportunity to calm everyone down was a public letter from the Church of Light.
Originally, it was no secret that the empire and the church were in harmony with each other, and there was a lot of dirt between the two sides, but there was no open hostility. The Pope's letter was just a piece of waste paper in Montenegro, but as soon as the contents were published, everyone was silent.
Because the content is no longer a contradiction between countries, between religions, or even between races. It was a great crisis that could lead to the end of the world.
The undead scourge is in full swing.
No one dares to joke about such a thing, including the Pope.
In history, every time a natural disaster breaks out, the whole continent will be mobilized immediately, and all people, all countries, and all forces, no matter what conflicts there have been before, whether there is a war going on, whether there is a blood feud between life and death, must immediately stop and form an alliance to fight against the natural disaster.
This is not an old act, and no covenant is made. This is the only way for the mainland creatures to survive under the black wave of the undead natural disaster.
Those who dare to disobey may not need to be liquidated by others afterwards. Without assistance, it is difficult to survive on its own in the first wave of the plague.
