Chapter 113: The Capitalist

When Sigur received information about the Black Castle from the trembling little boss, he was a little unconvinced.

The Wilden family is so powerful that it basically monopolizes the bloodline promotion path of the entire Black Castle. Holds the only cursed remains. For thousands of years, any magician who wanted to be promoted needed to look at their faces.

Such a powerful family will be overthrown by some civilians?

"What the hell is going on?" Seeger's head was a little annoyed, because he was also in league with the Wilden family, and once the revolutionary party gained power, he would definitely be liquidated.

Although I haven't done anything ***, politics is a thing that pays attention to sitting upright. Once it is crooked, it is easy to be liquidated.

"Say, where is Baron Cowell?" Seeger decided, still wanting to know the situation, and Baron Cowell, as a nobleman, must know a lot of inside information.

"Baron...... The Baron has been thrown into prison by us. The little leader was choked by the neck of Sieg and pressed against the wall, and his speech was a little breathless.

"Take me there. Sigurt said coldly.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the circle of musketeers, Sieg directly escorted the little leader, got into a carriage, and swaggered out of the docks.

......

In the carriage, Sieg asked a lot more about the situation.

This little boss actually belongs to a trading company called [Winter Wind]. Taking advantage of the revolutionary turmoil in the country, this company directly organized armed forces to attack the port of dawn, and occupied it under the guise of clearing the remnants of royal power.

Now that the whole of Dawn Harbor has fallen into their hands, and a senior sorcerer's apprentice is stationed in the baron's new villa.

What makes Seeger find it ridiculous is that this company is under the banner of overthrowing the royal power and liberating the people, but after occupying Dawn Harbor, its governing methods are much more tyrannical than the original Baron Cowell.

The greedy capitalists raised the tax rate and made all sorts of malicious and complicated laws and regulations in order to collect the money. High charges were also imposed on each merchant ship passing through the port.

In the past month or so, Dawn Port has been tossed a lot.

Sieg lifted the curtain on the carriage and found that many shops and taverns were closed and deserted along the entire street.

"Who is the leader of the current Blackcastle Republic?" asked Sigurd, staring out the window.

The little leader was coerced into the carriage by Sig, and he didn't dare to breathe all the way, quiet as a frightened child.

"Your Excellency...... We don't know about that. The little leader said embarrassedly: "The New World is far away from the Mother Continent, and all kinds of information are lagging behind, we only know that the Black Castle Monarchy has fallen, and now the country is in chaos......

Sure enough, the Wilden family was pulled down. Sig's eyes were gloomy, and he pondered in his heart: "Who is the one who made the move? The Revolutionary Party? No, it will never be just the Revolutionary Party!"

Seeger remembers that when he left Blackcastle a year ago, the Revolutionaries were like rats in the sewers, hiding and hiding. The royal power directly settled in Hongqiao University, and many people were arrested and imprisoned by the secret police.

In less than a year, it is impossible for the balance of power between the two sides to have such a big reversal, and there must be another force intervening......

Sig thought of the countries of the East Coast today, and it seemed that a wave of revolution had suddenly set off, and countless crowns fell to the ground within half a year.

Coincidental?

Who believes!

Behind this, there seems to be an invisible big hand, silently pushing everything......

"I chose to leave the royal capital in the first place, it was right!" Sig took a deep breath, secretly saying that it was good that he ran fast, otherwise he might also be caught in it.

Even the king was guillotined, and others can imagine. There is no bloodless revolution in this world, and those mysterious people who are behind the scenes of the Black Castle must have suffered heavy casualties.

Silent all the way, the carriage rolled and turned, running over the long stone-paved streets.

Soon, the carriage stopped, and Sig jumped out and escorted the little leader into the prison.

The prison in Dawn Harbor is rudimentary, with a few dilapidated houses fenced with barbed wire.

Several guards guarding the door saw the hostage in Sig's hand, hesitated for a moment or chose to let them go, but secretly made a look.

Several guards snuck out the back door, apparently to ventilate the news.

In this way, Sig swaggered all the way to the outside of a connected wooden house.

On the lawn in front of the wooden house, a middle-aged man in a black and white striped prison uniform was sitting on the ground basking in the sun.

"Long time no see, Lord Baron. Sieg held the little leader in place, then walked over with a smile.

Baron Cowell seemed to be much older, with a wrinkle beginning to form at the corners of his eyes, and his hands covered in mud, not at all like a nobleman.

"You...... You're Lord Sige!" Cowell stood up suddenly, quickly wiped the dirt off his hands, and said excitedly and nervously: "Your Excellency...... Hurry up, now this place is occupied by those dastardly merchants, who also have mysteries!"

"Don't worry, no one can hurt me. Sieg patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, and the two of them found a place to sit down.

There is a high-ranking apprentice in the harbor, which may be a terrifying existence in the eyes of ordinary people. But for Sig, it's an ant that can be pinched to death.

"Tell me, what's going on?" said Sigurd, his face darkened, and he said in a deep voice.

Cowell belonged to the aristocratic class, and he knew more than the leader.

"My lord, the kingdom...... It's changed. Baron Cowell was silent for a long time before he said gloomily.

Half a year ago, the Royal Ocean Fleet made a surprise visit to Dawn Harbor, and the Captain of the Fleet, a duke, told Baron Cowell to be careful of the cunning merchants.

Baron Cowell didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but a few days later, bad news came.

The Royal Offshore Fleet encounters a powerful and mysterious sea monster at sea and is completely wiped out!

The shock had not yet subsided, and soon, an even greater shock came.

Half a month later, the passing passengers in the harbor brought news to the Baron - the Black Castle has revolutionized!

The enraged populace dragged the king to the guillotine, and the original order was broken in a day. The revolutionaries formed parliaments, formed parties, and began to restructure the new order.

Baron Cowell is obviously not an ordinary person, he understands the power of the Mystery. It is difficult for ordinary people to fight against the mysterious, and the Wilden family behind the throne of Castle Blacks is like a mountain.

How could the revolutionary party succeed?!

He asked around for information, and soon, from the mouths of many exiled nobles, he finally saw a fact.

"In this republican revolution, it is not only the forces of the revolutionary party that have attacked...... And those offshore trading companies!"

......

"Merchant?!" Sigurt was stunned, then his eyes darkened, and he said, "I see. ”

The offshore trading companies throughout the New World have gradually amassed a great deal of wealth over the centuries of continental exploration.

And wealth is the capital of their rise.

Many large trading companies have their own exclusive magicians who spend a lot of money to cultivate, and some of the smaller ones will hire corresponding contract magicians. They amassed a great deal of capital in the open sea trade of the New World, and gradually grew up under the nose of the king.

Although the number of sorcerers owned by each company is not large, it would be a terrifying number if all the companies were united.

"The royal power has already begun to notice this, but unfortunately...... After all, it was a step too late. Baron Cowell said with some frustration.
