"Burn, burn, burn ......"

Around the same time, similar scenes were seen in major cities across the mainland.

The recovered war bonds, in the presence of everyone, were thrown into the flames.

The creditors, who were originally skeptical about the Alpha Kingdom's ability to pay its debts, suddenly rose in confidence after seeing this scene.

Regardless of where the money came from, it is always true that the Alpha Kingdom is recycling bonds, and it is also true that the bonds are being destroyed.

The aristocrats, who were still hesitating to cut the meat, put their hanging hearts back into their stomachs at this moment, waiting for the market to pick up.

In the entire market, there is still a large-scale sell-off of bonds, and only one is the Alpha Kingdom. It's just that because it was split and sold in batches, it has not been discovered for the time being.

A strange scene happened, the more the people of the Holy See ran on the war bonds, the faster the Arphyns could redeem them.

At the beginning, there was a series of approval processes, but in the later stage, the office location was simply pulled to the open square.

For all small payments, all gold coins will be settled on the spot, and only when the amount is large will you have to queue up. Once the transaction is completed, the recovered bonds are thrown into the brazier and destroyed, without the slightest hesitation.

Above the Holy Mountain.

Looking at the "good news" sent by his subordinates from all over the mainland, the seventh of the assyco, who has good mathematical ability, finally realizes that something is wrong.

The monitoring team was dispatched, and the people in charge of the specific implementation of the task also sent evidence of their hard work - the Shadow Stone.

However, the Alpha Kingdom, which has been run on so well and has done so well, still shows no signs of collapse.

"How many war bonds have the Alpha Kingdom issued to the outside world, why have we destroyed so many and not seen a decrease?"

】

Pius VII asked angrily.

This is an awkward question, and the Holy See has also done market research before taking action.

According to the statistics of the Holy See, the war bonds issued by the Alpha Kingdom overseas are roughly between 30 and 40 million gold coins.

The original plan was to buy 10 million or 20 million bonds in batches to run on them and collapse the credit system of the Alpha Kingdom. For this reason, Pius VII was mentally prepared to turn the backlog of millions of bonds into waste paper.

Now the plan has been completed, and it has even greatly exceeded expectations, but there is no sign of financial collapse in the Alpha Kingdom.

Although Caesar IV repeatedly declared that this was the joint contribution of the great nobles of the kingdom, Pius VII did not believe it at all.

How can the aristocracy be selfless if it is not selfish?

Even if the big nobles of the Alpha Kingdom worked together and now paid out more than 30 million gold coins, their cash flow should be exhausted.

Even without thinking about money, they have bought so many war bonds, and it is time for the bonds circulating in the market to be consumed.

After all, in the absence of a collapse of credibility, it is impossible for everyone to be willing to cut meat and sell it.

"Your Majesty, according to the investigation, it was found that some of the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom also privately took out the war bonds and sold them.

or many bonds that come out of these people's hands. ”

As soon as Ulise finished speaking, everyone's faces changed drastically.

If the guess is accurate, then it is not that the money that the Alpha took to redeem was given by them.

As soon as he remembered that they had used the money to buy bonds, Alfa took their money, took the profits, and then used it to pay them.

In an instant, everyone was more uncomfortable than eating flies, it was too much of a bully, and it was clear that they were wronged!

"Your Majesty, we can't suffer this loss, we must expose the matter and let everyone know the despicability of the Alpha Kingdom!"

Blake said angrily.

This black cauldron must be carried by someone, and it can't be the high-ranking members of the Holy See, then it can only be that the Alpha Kingdom is too despicable.

"Fool, calm down.

You say it was the Alpha Kingdom that did it, and they did it?

What about the evidence? ”

Pius VII immediately reprimanded.

I don't know why, these days, he has seen Captain Blake more and more unpleasant.

If it weren't for the stability of the Holy See, he would have replaced this guy who had more than enough to do.

After a pause, Pius VII added:

"Have someone put a stamp on the gold coin to verify that the guess is accurate. Until the news is confirmed, all redemption operations will be stopped. ”

It was evident that Pius VII hesitated.

Theoretically, as long as it continues to be paid like this, the arbitrage game of the Alpha Kingdom will collapse sooner or later.

After all, the number of bonds is limited, and as long as the war bonds in the hands of the Alpha nobles are consumed, the subsequent bonds will really consume their cash flow.

The only problem is that the price paid is somewhat heavy, and by now that the plan has been carried out, they have lost nearly four million gold coins.

If it continues, even if they can defeat the Alpha Kingdom, how much will they lose?

Five million, six million, seven million, eight million......

The price of early redemption is constant, but the price of bonds is constantly rising. The more aggressive the acquisition, the higher the price of the bonds circulating in the market.

Correspondingly, the amount of money they need to lose will also increase.

……

The paper couldn't contain the fire, and although the Holy See repeatedly blocked the news, there were too many people in the know, and the rumor finally spread.

Rumors spread like a fire in a forest, once lit, they can't be stopped.

What's more, this is still a rumor mixed with part of the truth, and even if he was busy shipping bonds around, Hudson received the news.

It was not the Holy See that first leaked the news, but the Alpha Kingdom.

There is no way, and the war bonds in the hands of the great nobles are not infinite. After being burned continuously, in order to continue to arbitrage from the Holy See, the kingdom could only "borrow bonds" from the small and medium-sized nobles in the country.

The number of people in the know has expanded from dozens to tens of thousands, and the news can no longer be hidden.

Fortunately, the kingdom did a cover-up, and the people who came forward to borrow bonds were all big nobles from all over the country, and they did not directly play the banner of the kingdom.

However, this low-level means of covering up were concealed for a few more days, and soon the truth was mixed with rumors and spread.

"Looks like we should go back!"

Hudson said with a slight smile at the crowd.

In recent days, they have been going out day and night every day, traveling back and forth to various parts of the mainland.

If it weren't for the remarkable results and spiritual comfort, everyone would have gone on strike.

It doesn't matter if you have money or not, the key is that the situation in the kingdom has stabilized.

Hudson didn't care at all what Caesar IV promised these people, anyway, his share was not left out.

"It's really time to go back, after suffering such a big loss, the Holy See will not give up.

After all, it is the old overlord, and the number of masters in the Holy See is still the highest in the entire continent.

This is not our territory, and if they block it, it will be a nuisance!"

Archmagister Robert replied with a smile.

Just looking at his eager expression, it was as if he was looking forward to this scene happening. Hudson's intuition told him that this man had probably had a holiday with the Holy See, and that he still couldn't ease it.

"Okay, let's get cheap, let's take it as soon as we see it!

If he is really targeted by the people of the Holy See, it is unknown whether he can get out of the way.

If you want to block them, then take the lead in forming an arcane academy that specializes in training disciples and grandchildren to fight against them.

I'll take care of it on the King's side, and I promise to give you the greatest support. ”

Morrison replied unceremoniously.

"Morrison is right, Robert can do it if he wants, we all support you.

Anyway, they are all old people, and they don't have a few years to live. If you don't do it now, you won't have a chance to do it in the future. ”

……

Listening to the conversation of the "old-timers", Hudson only felt that there was a lot of information.

Originally, he was still full of doubts, why the Alpha Kingdom, thousands of miles away, was always targeted by the Holy See, and felt that this was a gathering place for heretics.

The identity of this group of old guys present is not simple.

Robert: The Grand Magus, former director of the Kingdom School of Magic.

One-third of the Magisters in the Kingdom on the bright side are all students he personally brought out, the kind that have officially worshipped the teacher.

Morrison: Sky Knight, member of the royal family.

The specific identity is not clear, but his status in the royal family is very high anyway, and he can influence the king's decision-making.

Frost: Sky Knight, head of the Knights of the Kingdom Cathar, member of the royal family.

As soon as the Knights of the Cathar heard it, they knew that it was a subordinate institution of the Holy See, but the ecclesiastical institutions of the Alpha Kingdom were controlled by the royal family and the big nobles in the country.

Lambert: Sky Knight, an ancestor of the Aram family.

……

"Dragons give birth to dragons, and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes".

The ancestors are all anti-papal heretics, and the juniors below will inevitably be affected.

With such a mass base, it is not surprising that Caesar III dared to confront the Holy See.

Even Caesar IV was clamoring for someone from the Holy See to be crowned, and he stabbed the Holy See when he turned his head, and it is estimated that there is no lack of influence from these old guys.

It didn't take long for Hudson to figure out that the Holy See had fallen into decline more than three hundred years ago. What happened is not recorded in the history books, but it is certain that there must have been a great war.

Three hundred years is a long time for ordinary people, but for masters, it may only be passed on for two or three generations.

I don't know if the masters and elders of these old guys have also participated in the anti-Holy See battle, and the hatred has been directly instilled.

Hatred can be transformed over time, but it will never disappear in a generation or two. The countries on the mainland are unhappy with the Holy See, perhaps the root cause is still the influence of the older generation.

"Enough!

You guys who are about to go to the ground with half of your body in the ground, how can you still toss so much.

It's okay if you want me to take the lead in forming the Arcane Academy, but you all have to come over and be your mentor, otherwise I won't be able to hold back the thunderous anger of the Holy See. ”

No sooner had Robert finished speaking than Hudson realized something was wrong. The "you" just now seemed to include him, the melon-eating crowd.

"Routine" is a proper "routine"!

For such a big thing, you can agree to it in a few words, and it is clear that there has been a collusion in advance.

I don't know if the scene in front of me is specially prepared for him.

In the same group of uncles with an average age of more than 16, Hudson's brain has not yet entered the water, so he decisively chooses to flash people.

It's a pity that as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by someone.

"Earl Hudson, as one of the founders of the Kingdom's Arcane Academy, don't you want to give me some advice?"

The melon-eating masses became "mentors", and immediately upgraded to the founder of the academy, and Hudson felt that the world was crazy.

Look at the Arcane Academy in the Kingdom of the Franks, which has had frequent problems since its establishment.

The founders of the academy, their mentors, and even ordinary students were on the Holy See's hunting list.

Dozens of people were killed, including two magisters, and if it weren't for the protection of the Frankish Kingdom, they would all have died.

Although Hudson also had conflicts with the Holy See, those were all secret confrontations, and on the surface he was still a "devout" believer.

For the time being, it has not risen to the height of "heresy", and there is no need to be on the hunting list.

"Knight Lambert, the matter of creating the Arcane Academy, it would be good to have you seniors Zhang Luo, I don't know anything and I won't get involved."

Hudson decisively refused.

It's okay to support secretly, and even to contribute money and effort can be discussed, and you don't have to talk about it in person.

"It's okay if you don't mix, I don't expect you to do anything anyway, but your portrait should be on the admissions brochure.

The Arcane Academy of the Franks has dragon knights in charge, and we can't lose our aura! ”

Morrison's perfect explanation left Hudson speechless.

According to this trend, soon there will be four arcane academies on the continent of Aslante, which will just divide up the four dragon knights.

As for whether it is voluntary or not, it doesn't matter at all, it is enough to be able to publicize it, and anyway, everyone didn't expect the dragon knight to come over and teach in person.

"Can I say no?"

Hudson asked tentatively.

"Of course you can, but your name will still be at the top when it comes to publicity.

Rest assured, we're just using it to promote it, and we won't ruin your reputation.

What's more, this is still a win-win situation, we have expanded our influence, and your boy's reputation has also been stirred!

When a new era begins, when future generations learn history, your deeds will be indispensable.

I don't know if you want the name of Earl Hudson among the epic heroes of the Terran race in the future! ”

It's impossible to say that Robert's beautiful blueprint is not tempted, but Hudson is more of a man who is afraid of trouble.

Looking at the epic heroes of the human race, few of them can die a normal life. Most people's lives can only be described as miserable.

While they were busy organizing language rejections, a bunch of old guys forced it down.

If it weren't for their age, and for fear of being accused of making a mistake, Hudson would have wanted to go over and hammer them

Of course, the fight must also be when these guys are alone, otherwise it is very likely that he will be beaten up.

Who let his own strength be weak and hold back the mount?
