In the Emerald Palace, Hudson, who was temporarily called over for a meeting, found that the atmosphere was not right as soon as he entered the main hall.

All the big nobles sitting there glared at him angrily, as if they had dug up their ancestral graves, and as if they had fired at their wives and daughters.

Hudson was speechless at this scene. Recently, he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary.

Could it be that the previous thing has been exposed?

Thinking of this, Hudson was also confused. There is no way, all the way to the present, he has also done a lot of taboo things.

For example, the "Blood Moon Horn" is privately collected and sold to the Holy See.

Another example: the secret artifact Bright Holy Sword.

And some time ago, he made a deal with King Caesar IV and the Mossi people, and secretly divided the interests that originally belonged to everyone.

……

Zero-to-zero, gathered together, Hudson found out that his black history was no less than that of the rest of the great nobles.

"Why are you looking at me like this, isn't it just a little late, as for making such a big move!"

Hudson replied angrily.

Without knowing what was happening, he couldn't afford to lose his momentum. The meeting place is the Great Hall of the Kingdom, which means that the situation has not reached the point where it cannot end.

If I really wanted to get him, I would have arranged all kinds of traps a long time ago. How could he let him enter here and discuss with all the kingdom bosses!

"Marshal Hudson, there have been many talents in the kingdom recently, and you have made great contributions!"

The words of the Prime Minister Archduke of Newfoundland instantly made Hudson understand that his feelings were for others.

The heart that was still nervous fell in an instant. If you don't do it, you don't do it, can you still beat him into a trick?

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, isn't it a good thing that the kingdom is full of talents, what is there to be angry about!

Isn't it true that someone is deliberately doing something and wants to play with the frame-up?

Don't you think I'm a bully, Hudson, no matter what, you can put it on my head! ”

Looking at Hudson, who was mixed with anger in his grievances, everyone couldn't help but hesitate. When it comes to the marshal of the kingdom, you can't act hastily.

Although violating the unspoken rules and spreading the tightly sealed inheritance knowledge of all parties is a taboo in the aristocratic circle, it also depends on who is committing the crime.

If it is an ordinary noble, you can just pull down the horse and kill the chickens and make an example. But Hudson was different, and the kingdom still needed him as a marshal to deal with foreign races.

Before that, everyone didn't think about how to deal with this matter at all.

"Your Excellency, I am not talking nonsense. After the investigation of the kingdom, a set of cultivation methods from the Principality of Moxi was widely circulated among the low-level aristocratic circles, and now it is almost a copy for everyone. ”

The Archduke of Newfoundland responded.

It's just that the tone is not as tough as before. Although it is certain that the things were brought back by the expeditionary force, it does not mean that Hudson must have passed them on.

If you are in a hurry to qualify, in case there is an oolong, it will not end well.

It's just that as the prime minister of the kingdom, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland has no choice. This kind of offending thing, if he doesn't come out, he can't let the king go, right?

"What's so strange about that!

In the last orc invasion, the Duchy of Moxi destroyed so many nobles, and it was only natural that some of the inheritance was lost.

Do you think I'm letting the legacy out?

This is too high a thought of me!

Back then, I was not a marshal of the kingdom, a small nobleman in the countryside who did not enter the stream, how could I quietly spread the inheritance throughout the kingdom under everyone's noses? ”

It's okay not to explain, but after such an explanation, everyone is more and more convinced that it was Hudson's doing.

Other minor nobles don't have the ability to spread the inheritance knowledge to the entire kingdom, but the Coslow family does!

Although it is a small noble, it can't stand the prosperity of the Coslow family.

Marriage in aristocratic circles, being able to have a baby is a plus. All things being equal, men and women of the Coslow family are in high demand in marriages.

Originally, the tribe was widely distributed, and if relatives and friends were counted, the distribution was even wider.

Visiting relatives, the most normal interpersonal communication, no one will suspect anything.

Relying on his own network, Hudson is fully capable of selling his inherited knowledge in exchange for the funds needed for the development of his territory.

It happened that in the process of territorial development, the income and expenditure of the mountain territory were seriously unbalanced, and it was the mysterious funds obtained by Hudson that they were able to tide over the difficulties.

Originally, everyone thought it was war money, and they all admired Hudson's ability to make money. Looking back now, that wasn't the case at all.

The war money was also limited, and in front of many participants, there was not a single unfavorable rumor afterwards, which proved that Hudson did not take more at that time.

Anyway, the Coslow family is thriving, even if the blockade of the lower classes is broken, with the advantage of the population base, they can also win.

No one knows the exact number of clansmen, but the Coslow family has hundreds of nobles who own fiefs, and even Hudson has created a pure family of children to form a knight order.

As the largest family in the kingdom, it is not afraid of the impact of the outside world after the blockade is broken.

"Whether you believe it or not, I didn't release these inheritances anyway. It's impossible to slander me by tricks.

If you have an idea, then look it thoroughly. With so many people involved, it is impossible for all those in the know to be able to keep secrets! ”

Hudson reluctantly explained.

The proposal for a thorough investigation is pure nonsense. Even if the knife is on the neck, it is impossible for the nobles below to be honest.

Carrying it to the death and denying it, they insisted that they were captured from the battlefield, and no one could do anything to them.

If you confess and expose the news of the purchase of the inheritance from the Moses, it will be a dead end.

In fact, even if these people confess, it is useless. They themselves did not know who they were really trading with, and the Moses had put on their vests before taking action.

If you follow this clue, you will be rounded into a dead end sooner or later. This kind of thing that happened a few years ago, unless the executor can be found, is a dead case.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that someone with a heart guessed that the Moxies did it, but there is no evidence, how can George admit it?

As long as the Moshees can withstand the pressure and deny to the outside world, Hudson is not at risk of being exposed.

Anyway, the major forces in the Southern Continent can't reach the Principality of Moxi, and the countries of the Northern Continent and the Central Continent still have to pull them to form a five-nation alliance to jointly fight against the alien alliance, so there is no way to be more serious about this matter.

The truth has not yet been revealed, and Hudson took the initiative to ask for a thorough investigation, which caught everyone off guard.

Originally, everyone thought that Hudson did it and was going to deal with it privately, but now the situation is obviously different.

If you dare to poke things to the surface, you are either sure that the kingdom can't find out, or you really haven't done it.

This is different from the previous temptation, involving a kingdom marshal, uncertain things, but no one dares to jump to conclusions easily.

"Well, I believe Marshal Hudson is innocent! Any accident can happen in times of war, and it is normal for inheritance to fall out.

Everything has already happened, so it's time to deal with it. For the kingdom, this is also a mixed blessing.

In the long run, this will shock the political landscape of the kingdom; But in a short time, the strength of the kingdom was increased.

According to the situation reported by everyone, the overall strength of the nobles of the kingdom has improved a lot. If we go to war with the Orcs again, we will be able to hold the Near East.

If you fight well, you might be able to push the border forward a few hundred miles. The extra land can just be used to house these new powerhouses. ”

Caesar IV said with a smile.

The opportunity to hit Hudson's prestige is gone, so it is natural to change the strategy in time to bring the two sides closer.

As for the matter of inheritance and displacement, it is natural that it will not be able to be qualitative until the results of the investigation come out.

In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly reversed, as if nothing had happened just now. One by one, they all discussed, how to toss the orc empire.

It's clear that Hudson got the bet right again this time. The situation of the Alpha Kingdom is special, even if it is shocked, there is a way to release the pressure.

It's a big deal to transfer the contradiction to the orcs. If you win the battle, then take the land from the orcs and settle these new powerhouses; If you lose the battle on the battlefield, everyone will almost die, and the interests will be gone.

Although the impact of inheritance and diffusion is great, the real victims are those rare-populated nobles.

Other nobles, as long as they can have a few more cubs, can still gain the upper hand in the competition by virtue of their resource advantages.

It's just a thriving little aristocrat, and the future will not be easy. There was a precedent for Hudson, but no one wanted to do it again.

It's okay not to give birth to a genius, but once it is born, it will inevitably be suppressed by powerful factions everywhere.

Looking at the situation of the Dalton family, we know that if Hudson had not moved to the Near East, they would have been pulled down by the Coslow family sooner or later.

Everything was calm, except for Earl Pierce, who was a little embarrassed. The problem was the first thing he discovered, and although it wasn't intentionally stabbed at the kingdom, it was indeed leaked from his side.

In the aristocratic circle, everyone pursues the following: leave a line in doing things, and see each other in the future.

It is not a contradiction that cannot be alleviated, and few people have a dead hand. After all, the ruthless name also has a great impact on the reputation of the nobility.

……

Not surprisingly, the result of the Kingdom investigation was inconclusive.

In the absence of strong evidence, and involving a marshal of the kingdom, the tacit choice of all parties to shelve the issue.

Hudson's suspicions were soon cleared, not because the investigation team did a good job, but because similar situations occurred all over the mainland.

The Coslow family has the ability to spread the knowledge of the inheritance to the kingdom, but they do not have the ability to spread it throughout the continent.

To be precise, no family has the ability to cover every corner of the continent.

Only the power of the state can quietly spread the inheritance of knowledge.

It's just that to Hudson's surprise, the main suspect who was found out by everyone was not the Duchy of Moxi, but the Holy See of Dawn.

Hudson was also confused about what was going on. In any case, the results of the investigations released by various countries one after another have pointed the finger at the Holy See.

The evidence is very nonsense, and there have been leaks of inherited knowledge everywhere, but the areas under the control of the Holy See are calm.

There is no doubt that the Moxi people are also picking targets when they sell and inherit knowledge. In the area controlled by the Holy See, there are many fanatics.

Religious fanatics cannot be judged by common sense. Even if it's a win-win deal, it can go wrong.

At the palace in Dapest, George was anxiously looking at the documents compiled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The paper can't contain the fire, and it's finally time to break out.

I can't talk about regret, if I hadn't sold the "inheritance of knowledge" back then, the Principality of Moxi would have gone bankrupt a long time ago, and how could it develop and grow today.

After enjoying the dividends, it is natural to bear the corresponding price.

"Ladies and gentlemen, things can't be hidden. Don't look at the Holy See now that it's helping us carry the black cauldron, but this kind of thing won't drag on for long.

Just keep an eye on the Principality's finances and the suspicions will soon come to us.

Negotiations on the five-nation alliance must be accelerated. In case the news leaks out, you can also use the power of the alliance to get to the bottom of it! ”

George said helplessly.

Evidence is important, very important; If it doesn't matter, that's it.

A huge sum of money of unknown origin is enough to send the Duchy of Moxi into a storm maelstrom. As long as the origin of the funds cannot be explained, the parties will soon find out about them.

No matter how many vests are applied, they can't stand up to check directly from them. Even if a few years have passed, it is impossible to completely erase all the traces.

"Your Majesty, there must be a reasonable explanation of the origin of the principality's funds. Otherwise, the follow-up trouble will be very big.

Even if the 5-nation alliance can provide us with refuge, it will come at a cost. At the beginning, we owed Shikoku such a big favor, and in the future, in the alliance, we will not have the right to speak! ”

Prime Minister Hurcheg said with a solemn expression.

Anger is never easy to do. What's more, they also dumped the blame on the Holy See, and they were destined to suffer revenge afterwards.

Holding the thighs of the alliance is just a negative coping plan, and the best choice is to muddy the water and clear yourself of suspicion.

According to the practice of the Aslant continent, as long as this kind of unclear thing is involved in the Holy See, the final basin will most likely be detained on their heads.

The truth is important, but the suppression of the Holy See is equally important.

If you don't work hard to suppress it, the Holy See's influence in the civil society is too great. In many cases, the words of the clergy are more effective than the lords.

If the pope were to appear, the king would have to step aside.

If you want to assert your power, you must pull down the prestige of the Holy See. Lifting the black history of the Holy See and putting on their heads are all daily operations.

Of course, this time the situation is special. Even if they are behind the blame, not many people scold the Holy See.

Secretly, there are even many small nobles who have profited, thinking of their goodness.

"Prime Minister, it's hard to explain the origin of the funds! In recent years, we have unearthed seven treasures.

I can't make it up!

In order to act, everyone took out the treasure and put it in the treasure and walked again.

The rumors of treasures in the principality, we have arranged them all. If you continue to play like this, something will happen sooner or later! ”

The War Secretary, Count Martins, refused.

As a treasure digger, he bears a lot of pressure. In order to make the performance more realistic, after each excavation, the Duchy of Moxi will hold an auction.

After all, treasures can't just be unearthed with gold coins, but more often in the form of jewels, magic weapons, mysterious inheritances, and rare treasures.

The ones that were put up for auction were all provided by the major nobles in China. What you take yourself, you will auction it off at your own expense.

The last time I went through the auction house, I laundered the money. It's just that no matter how much you can toss, the number of actors is limited.

As long as it appears in front of people, it can't be taken out again. After tossing a few times, the family backgrounds of several big nobles in the Principality of Moxi were turned over.

Even so, the laundered funds still can't fill the huge hole in the development of the Principality of Moxie.

"If you can't act, you have to act. I really couldn't help it, so I went to order a batch of special magic potions and found a way to make old bottles.

These things are not unique, so they can always be auctioned a few more times, right?

Master Kemboy, didn't he live in the Duchy, and next time he will dig up his relics.

As a master of magic potions in the mainland, he has a large number of magic potions, and they have survived to the present, so I think everyone can accept them.

Some alchemy equipment is also put in, and the specific ones will look at it.

In addition, a few more gold mines will be excavated. Reserves and purity are not important, anyway, if we say it is a bonanza, then it must be a bonanza.

If there is anything else that can make money, you go down and slowly replenish it. Even if you borrow it from outside, make the principality's finances look normal! ”

George was out of the way. When things come to this point, they will either carry it to the end, or they will come out to pull hatred.

……

Mountain Lord, Lord's House.

After handing over the little son in his hand to Melissa, Hudson faced the eldest son's ass, which was an output.

Bear children can't be beaten up.

At a young age, he learned to play pranks. Unexpectedly, Hudson wreaked havoc in his study while he was not looking.

After the incident, Franz, who didn't know that he was in trouble, actually ran to Hudson with the shredded book fragments to ask for credit.

I don't have to say it, I have to understand what a father's love is.

There was no such thing as a plea, and it was evident from Melissa's annoyed eyes that if it hadn't been for Hudson's intervention, she would have taken it herself.

There is no doubt that Hudson was not the only victim. Melissa, the mother, was not able to escape Franz's clutches.

Perfume from the Frankish kingdom, with an unknown liquid added. If it weren't for the fact that Melissa herself is a magician, she would have almost been hit by the urina of a bear child when she found out in time.

Father's love and mother's love collapsed at the same time, and Franz's ass was miserable. If it weren't for his young age, it would be mixed doubles at the moment.

"Lord Duke, the Duchy of Moxie has sent an invitation. They discovered Master Khamboy's laboratory and prepared for a major auction in two months' time. ”

Tom's words saved Franz's ass.

The first alchemist in the continent, the first magic pharmacist in the mainland, and the name of Kemboy, are deafening.

As the creator of the essence of life, Khamboy's contribution to the human race is self-evident.

The laboratory of such a big man is full of temptation for any magician and alchemist.

Even Hudson was no exception. Just remembering that in recent years, the Mossi people have been digging treasures one after another, and his interest suddenly disappeared.

The outside world only thinks that the Principality of Moxi is lucky, and by excavating treasures, it has raised funds for the development of the country.

As someone in the know, Hudson didn't believe in luck. If he had such good luck, George wouldn't have taken any chances.
