Emerald Palace.

"There is no such thing!

What a check on this matter!

What is this trying to do in the southeastern province? ”

Caesar IV asked, almost roaring.

It is not big news that the nobles hid the magic crystal ore and mined it privately. But generally speaking, those who dare to do this are the big nobles, and the hiding is small mines.

This is the first time that a large magic crystal mine has been hidden, and the person involved is a middle-class nobleman.

Originally, there should be no obstacles in this kind of case, and the evidence can be found out soon. After all, an ordinary middle-class aristocrat did not have the ability to hinder the investigation.

But the reality is very slap in the face, the investigation team sent by Wang Du is still on the way, and the southeast province has taken the lead in announcing the results of the investigation - there is no such thing.

denied the existence of the magic crystal vein, and naturally there was no so-called hiding and private mining.

Even the investigation team sent by the kingdom was unwilling to wait, so they closed the case in such a hurry, and it was clear that there were no three hundred taels of silver here.

The involvement of a middle-class aristocrat and the involvement of an entire southeastern province of aristocracy are two completely different concepts.

There was no conclusive evidence, not even the king's power, and at the same time an investigation was initiated into a provincial nobleman.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger! The matter has not yet been investigated, and it is not appropriate to rush to a conclusion for the time being.

According to the results of the investigation given by the Southeast Province, the last vision was the elemental tide caused by the Cult Skeleton Rebellion.

The cause is: The Skeleton Lord led people to set up the altar in order to attract the invasion of alien creatures.

In order to cover the sacrificial operation, including this sudden beast tide, it was also planned by the Skull Society.

At the end of the investigation report, the Southeastern Province also gave a guess that the Skeletons had taken refuge in the Kingdom of Hesse, and that this operation was to clear the way for their invasion. ”

The Chancellor, the Archduke of Newfoundland, tactfully persuaded.

Despite how many loopholes there are and how many facts are covered up in the investigation report given by the southeastern provinces, they are logically closed.

This beast tide has reduced the difficulty of the invasion of the Hessian Kingdom. As beneficiaries, they have an incentive to do so.

As for why the Skull and Bones Society, which originally followed the Holy See, fell to the Kingdom of Hesse, it doesn't matter at all.

It is possible for a cult organization to do any strange thing. Just changing partners is nothing at all.

"Humph!"

After snorting coldly to express his dissatisfaction, Caesar IV said angrily: "The southeastern province rushed to close the case before the arrival of the investigation team, obviously because of a weak heart.

The matter of stealing the magic crystal ore is itself led by the Dalton family. Governor Pierce himself is the biggest beneficiary, so naturally he has to resist the investigation! ”

There is no point in explaining, and the king often only trusts his own judgment when he has determined something.

The Dalton family had both the motive and the strength to plan the event. This is much more convincing than the mastermind is a middle-class nobleman.

After all, this kind of thing can only be carried by the great nobles. Even if it is discovered by the kingdom, it can be calmly escaped at a certain price.

"Your Majesty, the name of Earl Hudson also appears on the report on the closure of the Southeastern Province.

If there is really no investigation of this matter, it is fine, if there is really a case of private mining of magic crystals, I am afraid that the nobles of the entire southeastern province will be involved.

It is difficult for two big nobles to be accommodated in one province, and the relationship between the Coslow family and the Dalton family is not good. Unless they were involved before the rise, there was no need for Earl Hudson to come out and endorse him.

There are too many people involved, and it is not appropriate to make a big deal out of it. It is best to send someone to investigate secretly, find evidence, and then deal with it through private communication. ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Marquis Delgado, spoke.

If you are not careful, the southeast province is not only the first fiscal and taxation province of the Alpha Kingdom, but also a border province.

If the centralized government directly dismisses the governor and a group of county officials, it can replace them with a group of people.

However, the Alpha Kingdom is a joint-stock country, and the government can remove officials, but not shareholders.

The southeastern provinces, which have contributed the most to the kingdom, are already hard-hearted. If you dare to do this kind of thing, you also have the bottom of your heart.

"If the nobles of the southeastern province are colluding, what do you think we can find out?

I'm afraid that the people of the investigation team will be detained if they can't get there! ”

Caesar IV said angrily.

This matter was reported by the younger brother of the royal family's cronies, but it was limited to providing a piece of information, and it was impossible for the family to come out and testify.

It's not easy to be a traitor, and once the secret is leaked, it will be the end of the death of the clan. It was only a matter of time before an accident offended the nobles of the entire province, and the king could not protect them at all.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to rush this kind of thing. The matter of private mining of magic crystal ore cannot be ended in a day or two, what we have is time.

Now that the nobles of the southeastern province are highly vigilant, they will investigate after a while, and then deal with them when they catch the evidence.

The matter of the beast tide has just subsided. The nobles of the southeastern province are also in urgent need of replenishment, and it is not a big deal to leave the magic crystal mine in their hands for the time being.

Increasing their strength will also help consolidate national defense. A full-scale continental war is about to break out, and the kingdom should prioritize stability. ”

Archduke Ephiero rationally analyzed.

The meat rots in the pot and can't run away. Even if you want to settle accounts, that's a matter after the autumn.

……

Hudson, who traveled to the southeast province and embarked on the way home, was leisurely touring the mountains and rivers at the moment.

By taking the initiative and contributing orc slave mining, Hudson managed to get a quarter of the share.

It can be seen that everyone is not very bold. One by one, fearing that they would be contaminated with the "Shouyuan curse", they gave Hudson a chance.

As an insider of the "curse", there is a chance to make a fortune in silence, and Hudson naturally will not make a noise.

The time period of evil qi pollution is too long, and there is no way to verify it in a short period of time, and even if you say it, everyone may not believe it.

For the tragedy of Viscount Otum's family, Hudson can only say sorry to them in his heart.

He didn't have the time to be a virgin. After all, it's easy to find a problem, but it's hard to solve it.

The amount of evil qi is not large, but the quality is very high, otherwise it would not be impossible for a group of masters to find it.

To purify this thing, in Hudson's opinion, it is either to find a Light Saint or find a Saint Priest.

It is a pity that the Fa Sheng has long been extinct on the mainland. The priest of the Holy Order, Hudson knew only the Pope of Dawn.

Told Viscount Otum, it didn't make any sense. The Pope's cards are bigger than those of the kings, and even if they go bankrupt, please don't move to protect the VII.

What's more, if the Alpha Kingdom and the Holy See are still hostile forces, it is even more impossible.

Instead of painstakingly searching for a solution, it is better to move away directly, rely on time to slowly dilute the evil energy in the body, and after a few generations, you will be able to return to normal.

Compared with the unexpected benefits of the Demon Crystal Mine, the Demon Beast captives sleeping in the car at the moment were Hudson's goal at the beginning.

There were a total of one hundred and seventy-eight demonic beasts, except for eight middle-level demonic beasts, the rest were all low-level demonic beasts.

Perhaps because of the price, the number of female beasts accounted for two-thirds of the captured monsters.

Except for a few Warcraft that were captured by the soldiers, most of the Warcraft were captured by Maxim and transported back to open a harem for him.

Now Hudson is worried that Maxim was in heat not long ago, and he will not be in heat again for a long time to come.

Convincing a dragon that is not in heat to become a dragon is not an easy task. Anyway, looking through the history books, Hudson didn't find any successful cases.

"Drugged", this idea was extinguished by Hudson as soon as it was born. Once this kind of tasteless thing is done, it can be hated by Maxim for the rest of his life.

Even if he wants to use medicine, he must be willing.

Fortunately, this kind of thing is not rushed. No matter how you say it, you have to wait for the Warcraft base to completely evacuate.

The people who left in front were all foreign forces, and the big domestic forces still kept the pregnant mother beast to adopt the fetus in the mountains with peace of mind.

There is something in my heart, and I am not even interested in taking the mountains and rivers to play. Apparently Hudson was playing, but in fact Bear Stearns was tossing alone.

One moment chasing hares, one moment digging birds' nests, and the next tossing insects. is a naughty mischievous trickster, making the birds and beasts uneasy.

In contrast, Maxim is much more mature and stable. Lying on the ground, my eyes closed, I fell asleep under the sun.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but in recent days, Hudson has always felt that Maxim has become more and more sleepy. Whenever I get the chance, I go to sleep.

Fortunately, he didn't sleep for a long time every time, and if he slept for decades, he would be a tragedy as a dragon knight.

As far as Hudson knew, there was an unlucky dragon among the four dragon knights on the continent, who had been sleeping for more than ten years now.

Dragons are not good-tempered, and they disturb their sleep, even if they are dragon knights.

Unless it is time of life and death, no one will forcibly wake up the sleeping dragon.

Vaguely, Hudson discovered that the dragon's slumber seemed to have something to do with its growing strength. It looks like sleeping, but it's actually digesting the growing strength in the body.

In the past few years with him, Maxim's strength has grown much faster. In just a few years, it has taken the path of hundreds of years under normal circumstances.

The rapid growth of strength naturally takes time to digest. didn't sleep for decades, it was all about giving him face.

Of course, it is also possible that Maxim, fearing that the days of this rapid growth power are limited, forcibly controlled the idea of dormancy.

After all, the lifespan of a human being is too short compared to that of a dragon. If Hudson wakes up and is gone, it will be difficult to grow his strength quickly.

Cool for a while and cool for a lifetime, the dragon will also weigh it.

A bonfire was lit, a processed hare was strung together, and Hudson prepared lunch.

As for his own dragon and bear, on this occasion, he naturally wants to help solve it, and he doesn't have the time to be a cook for the two big stomach kings.

"Lord Earl, there is an urgent letter from the royal capital, and last night the Council of the Terran Alliance made a decision to declare war on the Alien Alliance. At this moment, the continental war has broken out in full swing! ”

Listening to the soldier's words, Hudson's face changed so much that even the hare in his hand fell into the campfire.

He has also heard of the tense international situation. But the Aslant continent is already at war, and there are far more tense days than peaceful days.

Traditionally, local conflicts usually break out first, then regional wars, and then the war escalates step by step, gradually evolving into a continental war.

According to Hudson's analysis, the Continental War would break out in five years. Unexpectedly, this has just started the rehearsal, and it has directly entered the climax stage.

Unfortunately, the rise of the Coslow family has been too short and has not yet been recognized by the continental aristocratic circle, and the application for parliament on the Terran Alliance has been rejected.

The only way to understand what's going on behind this is to wait through the kingdom. The news passed a hand, not to mention the issue of accuracy, and the efficiency of the light was delayed a lot.

Under normal circumstances, the first time a decision was made, it should be sent back by the Transmission Magic Array.

If nothing else, the old nobles had received the news last night that Hudson had been half a day behind them.

It seems that this little time is nothing, but if it comes to a critical moment, most of the day's work can determine the life and death of one party's forces.

Ruthless, Hudson decided to build a teleportation magic array when he went back, and he couldn't continue to let people transit.

If something important happens, the Dalton family deliberately delays it, and he will receive the news even later.

As for the position of the Terran Alliance Councillor, it will take a long time. It is not enough to get the support of the nobles in the kingdom, but also to get the support of the nobles from all over the mainland.

"Pass the order down and tell Tom to be on guard and make sure the team is safe. If you encounter trouble on the way, you can first ask the nobles along the way for help. ”

After saying that, Hudson extinguished the fire with a water polo technique, and without delay, he immediately summoned Maxim, directly soared into the dragon, and galloped towards the territory.

The outbreak of the Continental War affected all sides. Not only does the Alpha Kingdom have to make strategic adjustments, but a series of policies in the Mountain Territory must also change.

In comparison, escorting the Warcraft captives back can only be regarded as a minor problem.

Escorted by two regiments, it was basically impossible for an accident to occur in the southeastern province. Even if you are in trouble, there are nobles along the way who can help.

Hudson's name is still very useful in the circle of middle and lower class aristocracy. As long as it doesn't harm their own interests, everyone won't mind selling personal favors.

Even if you don't interact now, there's no guarantee that you won't be able to interact in the future. Not to mention anything else, once a war breaks out, the position of the commander of the kingdom is most likely Hudson's.

When the time comes, there will be a friendship and a treatment without friendship, it will be completely different. If you take a little care, the probability of surviving the battlefield and making meritorious service will be greatly increased.
