The welcome banquet opened, and the Hudsons, who were supposed to be the protagonists, did not become the focus, but the dragon and the bear stole the limelight.

In the continent of Aslante, it is nothing new for high-level demonic beasts to be on the table. But it's really rare to see something like Maxim and Bear Stearns.

A dragon and a bear picked up the plate and sent it directly to their mouths, as if they hadn't eaten for decades. Maxim, in particular, was in a hurry to eat, and sometimes even swallowed the plate.

Such an imageless way of eating made Hudson very faceless. Although the food standard in the territory on weekdays is not as high as at the banquet, he doesn't dare to starve the dragon and the bear!

If the aristocracy did this, they would surely be despised for a hundred years. Changed to Maxim and Bear Stearns, it becomes "personality".

Some bold aristocrats also raised their glasses to toast, and Bear Stearns and Maxim also did not refuse to come, and they could catch up with acquaintances.

This kind of change can make a lot of nobles excited. In front of him are dragons and earth bears, and looking at the entire Aslant continent, they are all the ceiling of combat power.

"Hudson, your dragons and bears are so interesting!"

George said with a look of envy.

This kind of thing is destined to be only envied, even if you are a king, you are not qualified to plot the Sacred Realm Demonic Beast.

The difference in strength is too big, unless the Warcraft takes the initiative to recognize the master, even if it is forced to sign a contract, it will not be able to stop the backlash of the Sanctuary Warcraft.

"They have always been more lively, especially not resistant to food, which makes His Majesty smile."

Hudson replied with a smile.

He has long been used to business blowing each other. If you can't brag about anything else, then you can brag about the food. This thing will definitely not be taboo.

……

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the Hudsons and George left the hustle and bustle of the banquet and entered the rear hall.

The dragon and bear, who had been eating and drinking, also reluctantly followed, and qualified bodyguards were not allowed to leave the employer for a long time.

Changing the venue does not affect their eating and drinking. George was very cooperative with the instructions of the kitchen, and made a very large meal and sent it over.

With a glance, the queen dragged Melissa to the next door, leaving only George and Hudson, who were sitting looking at each other, and the dragon and the bear, who were eating and drinking.

"Hudson, I'm in trouble this time!

The Principality's fiscal revenues and expenditures are seriously unbalanced, and the government has tried its best to smooth out the accounts, but it is still unable to fill the holes.

The main reason is that we underestimated in the past, only focused on development, and ignored the problem of the source of funds. If you are not careful, you can spend more money than the principality should have.

After realizing this, the government of the principality continued to inflate its fiscal revenue, but compared to the previous black hole of accounts, it was a drop in the bucket.

We are forced to hold an auction at such a time. So much money has been spent in recent years, and if the principality is not poor, it will really be impossible to say.

In desperation, we can only throw out the laboratory of Master Kemboyin, which has been discovered a long time ago. Deliberately made the government's finances on the verge of bankruptcy, and could only sell treasures to raise funds.

However, this is still a drop in the bucket, this laboratory is just an ordinary laboratory used by Master Kemboyin, and there is not much value.

The auction items that are being taken out now are all made up by the nobles of the principality. Whether the lake can be crossed is still unknown.

Hudson, you're the most well-known alchemy master in the continent, so lend me some treasure for emergencies!"

George said straight to the point.

Exchanging inherited knowledge for money was Hudson's idea. It's just that I never thought that this kind of almost capitalless business would be addictive.

The Principality of Moxi undoubtedly jumped into this huge pit, and the government ran out of money to do it. After tossing a few times, I turned around and found that the inheritance of knowledge had flown all over the continent, and I couldn't cover it up if I wanted to.

"The magic potion is good, from the moment I received the invitation, I knew that you were having a bad time.

This time, I brought it with me

All inventories to study. Needless to say, if you borrow it, Xueyueling is also short of money now, and if someone is willing to pay a lot of money, then borrow your platform and sell it to them.

You can rest assured that these potions are of a certain level. And it was the first time it was launched, and the efficacy of many drugs had not had time to be tested.

The medicine bottle has also been worn-out, and it will not be worn as a goof, posing as the work of Master Kemboyin.

In order to cheer you on, the treasures that are not needed in the treasury for the time being are also brought over.

If you're lucky, you might be able to sell for a million or two gold coins. But it's a drop in the bucket compared to the holes you've made!"

Hudson said pretending to be bold.

Helping is one thing, getting rich is the most important thing. The celebrity effect also applies in Aslante.

No matter what magic potion you have, as long as you are crowned with the "Work of Master Kemboyin", your value will immediately double.

Although the Hastelloy magic potion is also famous on the mainland, it is still far from being recognized as the number one magic apothecary.

Not only can you help your friends rush their performance, but you can also make a sum of money by the way, and there is no reason not to participate.

The main reason is that the size of a laboratory is too small, even if it is under the banner of Master Kemberyin, the upper limit is still there.

Otherwise, Hudson wouldn't mind making a bunch of weird magic potions and putting them up for auction. There is no need to deliberately study, it is enough to rely entirely on instinct.

Anyway, every magic potion master has a bunch of strange works. The birth of a magic potion is often full of countless failed experiments.

If the test fails, it does not mean that the medicine is worthless. Many magic potions are modified from the by-products of failed experiments.

I don't know the specific effect, so I participate in the auction, which is equivalent to opening a blind box.

If it is the work of an ordinary magician, everyone will not look at it, but it is different if it is named Master Kemboyin.

The passage of time, not only did not transform the divine aura on his head, but was more and more deified by later generations.

It is rumored that Master Kemboyin also made a potion to assist people in breaking through the Sanctuary. Although it is difficult to verify the authenticity, there will always be people who are willing to take the risk.

Especially the old guys who are about to live a long time, even if there is only one in ten thousand hopes, they will take a risk.

Regardless of the side effects, the pile of potions Hudson took out more or less had the function of improving cultivation.

But if you want to break through the Sanctuary with these potions, it depends on whether the Lord of Dawn blesses it. On the contrary, the probability of a direct death is slightly higher.

"There's no way, the hole is too big. Fill in as many accounts as you can!

The matter has leaked out, and the Holy See is definitely not willing to help take the blame. With their strength, as long as they are willing to investigate, they will be able to lock the suspicion on the principality sooner or later.

It doesn't matter if the Holy See is offended, their hands can't reach out to the principality at all, but the obvious evidence must not be left!"

George said with a solemn expression.

It's not terrible to offend the Holy See, anyway, the Principality of Moxi is surrounded by alien races except for the neighbor of the Alpha Kingdom.

When the alliance of the five nations is formed, the principality of Moxi will be safer. In the last continental war, the Holy See made the three countries of the Central Continent very difficult. Even if it's just to take revenge on the Holy See, the three countries will help them stand up.

The premise is that they can't expose the obvious evidence.

Without evidence, this is a lake account.

The results of the Holy See's investigation will not be recognized by the Frankish Kingdom, nor will the Alpha Kingdom, and the three countries of the Central Continent need to be consistent with their allies, and the remaining Terran countries will only be skeptical.

There is no way, the current Dawn Holy See is so credible. Even if the Pope himself stands up, it is difficult to be 100% convinced.

"By the way, Hudson. I heard that you have a Near East Development Bank, so let's give me a sum of money to pay for it!

You don't need to really pay for it, just publicize it

Just go down. As big as the loan amount can be, I will make it bigger.

The Princess's payment fee won't embarrass you!"

As soon as the words landed, Hudson instantly understood George's true purpose. The previous auctions were just targets on the bright side.

In terms of money laundering capabilities, it is clear that banks are more professional. In any case, there is no regulatory body these days, and the internal accounts of the Development Bank of the Near East do not need to be made public.

Fabricate a deposit, and then forge a loan. There is money for lending, there is a performance for the bank, and there is a reasonable explanation for the source of funds for the government of the Duchy of Moxi.

For the sake of the market of the Principality of Moxi, a huge low-interest loan was issued to the government of Moxi, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Even if other shareholders see it, they will only think that it is a political deal to exchange money for the market.

In the case that the cost of capital is infinitely close to zero, no matter how low the interest rate is, there will be a profit. It's enough to make a fortune in a muffled voice, so why can't you get along with money?

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Development Bank of the Near East will be happy to add a quality customer!"

Hudson replied reluctantly.

Without the slightest moisture, the current government of the Principality of Mosey is indeed a high-quality customer.

The debt is high, and it is only made on the surface for the outside world to see. The lining is absolutely thick, proper quality customers.

……

A deal was negotiated, and Hudson, who was idle, took his wife directly around the Duchy of Moxi.

"Hudson, how did I find out that your popularity here is better than in the kingdom?"

Melissa asked jokingly.

"It's not just better, it's more than ten times better!

No matter how well you do it in the country, there will be people who are not satisfied. The rise of the self itself is a shock to the big aristocratic group.

It seems that all the way has been smooth sailing, but in fact, the swords and swords in the background have never stopped.

But here it is different, foreign marshals are good at leading troops. No matter how much they soar into the sky, they will not stay and snatch the cake with them.

Even if something unpleasant happens during the command, everyone will quickly forget about it.

There is no core conflict of interest, and no one would mind having a marshal friend who can fight. As long as I don't mix specific interests, my popularity here will always be good!"

Hudson lamented.

It's not that he speculates with the greatest malice of human nature, it's really that the world is so cruel. Friends and foes in aristocratic circles, many times it is a moment.

Even if it is a brother, when the entanglement of interests reaches a certain level, the two sides will turn their faces.

"Hudson, I don't even know how to get along with those little sisters.

Forget it, you'd better play these ghost politics by yourself, I won't bother to bother with it."

Melissa said, rolling her eyes.

Becoming best friends with the queen and princess is a sublimation of a social circle for a traditional aristocratic woman like her.

The world of aristocrats is very realistic, and they can play with whatever they are, otherwise it will be a burden for both parties.

Hudson's status has risen all the way, and Melissa has also passively alienated the friends who used to play together. Because of the inconvenient transportation, I have been nesting in the territory, and I have no time to build a new social circle.

This time I followed Hudson out, and finally got new friends and got along well, but Hudson ruthlessly debunked him again.

If it is left in the previous life, this proper straight man style will most likely be lonely and old.

"Whatever, if you're happy. Anyway, our territory is far enough away from the Duchy of Moxie that there is no core conflict of interest between the two sides.

If you want to make friends, then make friends. As long as you grasp the degree of it, you will not suffer if you think about it.

But let's say okay first, it's okay to make friends. When it comes to the sons of their families, you can't just make promises!"

Hudson instructed with a smile.

It's also speechless to think about, home

The two sons, the eldest of whom has not yet been enlightened, and the younger one has just been weaned and has been targeted.

Not only the nobles in the country are eager to try, but even the big nobles who have school-age daughters in the Principality of Moxi have begun to pay their attention.

There is no doubt that this is an infinite optimism for Hudson. I feel that a simple friend relationship is unreliable, and I want to marry directly.

The personal problems of the second son are actually not too big, and everyone's real goal is the eldest son.

For political reasons, Franz didn't really have many options for marriage. But whenever Caesar IV gave birth to a daughter, there was nothing else to do.

If the king doesn't have a daughter, the daughters and granddaughters of the royal family's grand dukes can also rise to the top as long as they are of the right age.

No other option exists, and for reasons of strategic security, the royal family must also expand its influence within the Coslow family.

The most effective and least likely to provoke a backlash is, of course, political marriages.

The members of the Coslow family also want to get closer to the royal family and consolidate their hard-won position as a great nobleman.

After all, this is a world that reveres the theory of descent. The Coslow family is very expensive in this regard, and if they want to brag outside, they can't find a more powerful ancestor than Hudson.

"Don't worry, I've also been educated as a noblewoman. I still know what I can promise and what I can't promise.

Without talking about these topics, calculate the time and the auction is about to start, this is not a welcome banquet specially prepared for us, and we will miss it if we go there again!"

Melissa replied with an unhappy expression.

Deep down, she couldn't help but secretly think about what she had lost her sense of proportion, and let her husband tell her repeatedly.

"I've got the list at the auction a long time ago. There are some nice babes that do mean a lot to us.

This auction can attract a lot of old immortals, all of whom are poisonous in their eyes, and they can't pick up leaks at all.

In the past, I also watched the excitement, and it didn't matter if I was a little earlier or a little later!"

It didn't matter, but Hudson still picked up Melissa and put her on the dragon's back. It is the nature of human beings to eat melons and watch the excitement, and there has never been a distinction between high and low status.

Under the banner of Master Kemberyin, the scene is destined to be small. If you don't have enough lots of lots, you won't be able to hold the lot.

What's more, an auction of this level will also attract a group of grassroots mercenaries who have no backstage to participate. Although most of them are just here to make up the numbers, there are still a few lucky people who can take out treasures to send to the auction.

Maxim was fast, swooped out with a whoosh, and soon arrived at his destination, just in time for the auction of the first treasure.

"A group of unknown magic potions, personally identified by a number of alchemists, these potions are full of ownerless energy and have the effect of increasing cultivation.

The above potions are all from the hands of Master Kemboyin, and even after countless years have passed, the medicinal effects are still intact.

There are alchemy masters on the scene, and you can personally come forward to check and verify the authenticity.

It's time to test your eyesight, maybe these potions can make people soar into the sky, or maybe they are ordinary magic potions.

Now the starting price is 6,000 gold coins, and each price increase must not be less than 200 gold coins, and the auction begins!"

As the auctioneer's words landed, a number of alchemy masters flew out of their positions and rushed directly to the auction table for verification.

Looking at Robert in the crowd, looking at the potion in a daze, Hudson couldn't help but want to laugh.

I have to admit that the Moxi people still fiddle with people's hearts, and they give everyone problems as soon as they come up, disturbing everyone's minds.

These potions were all created by Hudson, and for the first time in public today, it was strange to be able to recognize what they were.

The only thing that can prove that it came from the hand of the master alchemist is that the potion is filled with a large amount of ownerless energy, as if anyone can absorb it.

With the same raw materials and the same formula, there is also a difference in the efficacy of the magic potions refined.

In general, master of alchemy

, which is usually able to retain most of the energy in the potion, allowing the potion to exert its maximum effect.

The main focus of these potions on the stage is that there is a lot of ownerless energy in it, and at first glance, it is not something that ordinary magicians and pharmacists can complete.

Including Robert, all the alchemy masters on the scene were dumbfounded.

There is no need to identify it, it must be the work of Master Kemboyin. Because with the level of these alchemists, they couldn't let the potion be filled with such a huge amount of energy.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with these potions, if you don't find anything wrong, then go down and bid!"

Robert opened his mouth to clear the way.

Allies, it is also appropriate to pull a hand at a critical moment. Keep these old guys watching, in case someone can't help but make a move, and let the situation get out of hand, it's troublesome.
