Chapter 192: The Poison of the Abyss
The auction got off to a good start, with a group of magic potion masters shouting frantically, and other wealthy owners following suit.
Soon it soared from 6,000 to 60,000, and then soared all the way to break 100,000, and continued to rush upward.
It doesn't matter why the potion is worth so much money, anyway, so many magicians and potion masters are shouting prices, and they don't suffer a loss if they follow the trend.
Robert is also a magician potion master who shouts prices, but after watching the price of potions break 200,000, he can't shout anymore.
The Alpha Kingdom is not rich, and even he, the hidden Sanctuary Boss, has to spend money. Essentially, the significance of the research is greater than the medicine itself.
After all, it is a strange medicine with unknown efficacy, except for a few Tie Hanhan, few people really dare to take it directly.
In the VIP room, looking at the soaring prices, Hudson was very satisfied. It's hard to find a big wrong, and it's rare to have a chance to harvest a wave.
The most important thing is that this harvest was sent to the door on their own initiative. Even if they buy it back at a sky-high price and can't get the results of the research, these people will only think that their level is not enough.
"Hudson, when I got here, I suddenly realized that we are actually quite poor!"
Listening to Melissa's words, Hudson's tea almost squirted out. No matter how you look at it, he has nothing to do with "poverty"!
As a seller hidden behind the scenes, he definitely can't join in the excitement of this wave of auctions. It's good to raise the price, but if you accidentally smash it in your own hands, wouldn't it be a blood loss.
"Melissa, you're going too far. The two of us are not poor, we are rational consumers, and we only buy what we need.
Mystic magic potion, more suitable for research madmen.
There are so many affairs in the territory, and I have to worry about the affairs of the kingdom, how can I have the time to do research!
You have to be busy taking care of the children, settling the back house of the lord's mansion, and being in charge of interpersonal contacts, and there are a lot of things.
Maybe in a hundred and eighty years, when we are more than a hundred years old, we will be like them. ”
Hudson immediately argued.
It's not a good choice to cry poor, especially a big man like him, how can he lose face?
Although the financial situation of the territory is indeed a little worse, Hudson is trying to make money!
"Phew!
I don't want to be like them!
Hmph, you're a bully! It's more than a hundred, so let your lover accompany you......"
Hudson knew he had said the wrong thing again. The meaning of longevity is very good, but when a hundred or so are used on women, it is a little troublesome.
Melissa thought of significantly more. With Hudson's talent, it seems that a hundred or so is nothing, but she can't!
Neither the talent to become a strong nor the heart to become a strong man, even if there is a sufficient supply of resources, he is still only a high-level magician. (3rd Order)
On the contrary, it was Isabel, after obtaining the resources of the Lord's Mansion, Xiu Wei went all the way up, and he was about to become a golden knight. (6th Order)
If it is really one hundred and eighty years later, there is a high probability that the former is a pile of loess, and the latter is still in its prime.
Fortunately, Melissa is still young, only slightly sentimental, and after being held in Hudson's arms, she no longer makes a fuss.
Before he could continue to be appeased, something went wrong at the auction. The five fox girls who were originally sent for photographing suddenly turned into elves, and the scene suddenly became silent.
Anyone with a little bit of political acumen knows that something big is going to happen next!
This wave of "tanuki for prince" is not a light pit for the Principality of Moxi. If this matter is not handled well, the war will be rekindled.
Hudson was also very angry, he had only sold half of the auction items he had deposited, and he was disturbed by these troublemakers, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with it in the future.
"Stop the auction, immediately cordon off the site, and arrest the slave traders!
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has done a good job of explaining the elves on the side, and it must not allow people to take advantage of the opportunity......"
George, who was onlookers, immediately ordered.
If you don't have a face, it doesn't matter anymore, the key is to calm down the situation quickly.
Since the last continental war, all the elven slaves in the Northern and Central Continents have become extinct. Even if someone hides it privately, they will never dare to leak the slightest rumor.
The slightest disturbance will be dealt with immediately, and no trace will be left behind.
In such a tense environment, someone dared to commit a crime against the wind, and put the elf slaves out for auction in a bright and bright way, which was simply about to break the sky.
"Hudson, what now? In the armistice treaty, the countries promised to prohibit the sale and capture of animal elves, and I am afraid that this matter will not end well! ”
Melissa asked, looking apprehensive.
The Duchy of Moxi and the Alpha Kingdom are each other's most important allies, and both sides are now at a loss. If war resumes, the kingdom will not be left alone.
"Don't worry, George can handle it! This is the Duchy of Moxi, and the people behind the scenes have planned such a big thing, and there will always be traces.
The elves are not stupid enough to see that someone is deliberately stirring up disputes. If you start a war, it will really be what the people behind the scenes intend. ”
is so appeased on the lips, but deep down Hudson has no bottom at all. If you don't provoke a large-scale war, you don't mean you can't retaliate.
Using this incident as an excuse, it is not difficult to catch the Principality of Moxi and beat it up, and it is not difficult to make an example of the monkeys.
I can't say that I am wronged, this is an auction! According to the usual practice, the lot is inspected before the auction.
The elves all appeared at the auction as slaves, and the Moxie government, which organized the auction, was obviously to blame.
Before the guards could move, a puff of smoke suddenly emerged from the crowd and quickly spread around.
"Poisonous!"
Realizing this, Hudson hurriedly unleashed the magic barrier, and the rest of the guests also showed their powers.
This made everyone in the hall miserable, because they were caught off guard. By the time they realized something was wrong, they had already inhaled poisonous smoke in their mouths.
"Jie Ji ......"
"Wait, filthy human beings, until the day of my Lord's coming will be the time to cleanse the world of filth!
Damn, it's time for this body, so I'll give you a little gift when we leave...... ......"
Mixed with a weird laughter, I heard a loud "bang", and my body exploded directly, turning into a black mist that continued to swallow the people nearby.
Without the slightest hesitation, a group of powerhouses on the scene took action one after another to extinguish the evil mist.
Looking back again, the people who were originally shrouded in black fog had turned into a pool of blood at this moment, and they were still emitting bursts of foul smell.
A well-informed old man suddenly shouted, "Poison of the Abyss, Priest hurry up and perform the Great Purification Technique!" ”
Hudson was also taken aback by hearing the "poison of the abyss", this thing is not an ordinary poison, and it will not kill immediately if it is contaminated, but it is more poisonous than any poison.
If the poisoning is not discovered and expelled in time, the "poison of the abyss" will penetrate deep into the bones, slowly magnifying the dark side of people's hearts.
No matter how heroic and martial it is, once it is stained with this thing, it is basically hopeless, which can be called a "king-killing elixir".
It's just that this thing is not an acquired thing, but a strange thing from a different plane. It is said that only after the abyss and the underworld intersect will there be a chance to be born.
Under normal circumstances, the poison of the Abyss should not appear in the continent of Aslante. This thing is highly poisonous to the human race, but for some special creatures, it has become a great tonic.
If it hadn't been called out, Hudson wouldn't have thought of the poisonous smoke just now, it was actually the legendary "poison of the abyss".
In contrast, the suicide bombings that followed are not worth mentioning.
Hudson also followed, although he was not a priest, but as a pseudo-light magician, he could also perform the Great Purification Technique.
Now is not the time to keep it, even if the enchantment is released in time, it is not guaranteed to be absolutely safe, in case the contamination is not cleared in time, the future is lost, and there is no chance to regret it.
For a while, the scene was full of magic, and everyone was shrouded in it. I don't know how much effect there is, anyway, what I'm asking for now is a psychological comfort.
Especially the unlucky ones who inhale drug smoke, they are even more afraid at the moment. If you are poisoned by other poisons, you are nothing more than killing yourself.
The "poison of the abyss" is different, magnifying the dark side of the heart usually kills the whole family. The higher the status of the poisoned person, the greater the sequelae caused.
was disturbed by this, and everyone had no interest in continuing to participate in the auction, and when the matter subsided, everyone chose to leave one after another.
Seeing the gloom on George's face, Hudson stubbornly opened his mouth and comforted: "Your Majesty, woe and blessing!
The poison of the abyss has appeared, and it is obvious that the evil god believers are in chaos, and the elves are not easy to hold onto.
Calm down this turmoil as soon as possible and focus on the development of the country! I have an ominous premonition that the mainland is going to be chaotic again. ”
It's all true, Hudson is really not optimistic about the situation on the mainland right now.
Originally, the continent of Aslant was chaotic enough, but now even the "Poison of the Abyss" that only exists in legends has appeared, who knows what will happen next?
Frankly, Hudson couldn't understand why these cultists were going to the auction to do something.
Although there were many big names among the guests, most of them had retired and were still in the VIP box.
The identity of those people in the hall is obviously lower. Mainly to see the lively and knowledgeable aristocratic descendants, as well as some wealthy businessmen.
In order to create an image of poverty, the Moxi government also went to great lengths, and even the auction sold tickets.
Except for the guests in the VIP seats, the rest all came in for a thousand gold tickets. If he had known that something would happen, George would not have made this money.
As long as someone is planning, accidents are inevitable. On a special occasion like an auction, there are guests from all over the world, and there is no way to verify the identity of everyone.
Nodding bitterly, George could only comfort himself. Obviously, the cultists of the evil gods are not the same group as those who are trumpeting elven slaves.
If these crazy cult god believers could have this brain, they would not be suppressed by the major forces and disappear.
In the eyes of ordinary people, cult believers and cult organizations all believe in evil gods, and they are completely all people.
Only the top brass knows that the former is a fanatical believer in the development of the evil god himself, and can basically be equated with a madman, while the latter is mostly a rebel organization made by the declining aristocracy who is not willing to accept the status quo.
Up to now, the cult organization has basically been supported by big forces behind it. These guys also wreak, but they all have a motive.
Unlike cultists, Hudson couldn't figure out why he was doing this today. Releasing the "poison of the abyss" in front of the public, what a waste of it!
Dozens of people died at the scene, and George was still in charge of the aftermath, and after a few words, Hudson turned around and left with Melissa directly.
On the way back, the more Hudson thought about it, the more wrong it became. It was just too much of a coincidence.
First, the auction items were replaced, and then there was a rebellion among the cultists of the evil gods, and the most important thing was the appearance of the "poison of the abyss".
Suddenly, Hudson's eyes lit up, and he quickly came to the conclusion that there was something wrong with the old man who had just shouted!
With just a puff of smoke, it is too powerful to recognize the legendary "Poison of the Abyss".
Either the old man had seen the legendary "Poison of the Abyss" before, or it was a disguise that was deliberately released to attract everyone's attention.
Hudson clearly remembered that after the smoke, many unlucky eggs were foaming at the mouth, showing obvious signs of poisoning.
There are many poisons with these symptoms, but this definitely does not include the poison of the abyss.
There was one more episode, which attracted everyone's attention, and no one even paid attention to the matter of stealing the auction items in front of them.
Hudson was sure that the old man who had just shouted had something to do with the guy who had made up the elf slaves, and it was even possible that he had led someone to do it.
In order to evacuate smoothly, secretly controlling a puppet and disguising himself as an evil god believer to do things to attract firepower, it makes perfect logical sense.
"George's trouble is big, today's incident is obviously aimed at the Duchy of Moxi!"
Hudson couldn't help but sigh.
Analyzing a problem does not mean that it can be solved. Something has happened, once it is proved that the evil god believers are fake, the blame is bound to fail, and the elven clan will definitely ask the Moxi government for an explanation.
At present, the Principality of Moxi does not have the courage to say to the elves: No! The matter will not end without paying enough price.
"Hudson, the Duchy of Moxie has become a land of right and wrong, or let's go back first!"
Melissa suggested.
She followed Hudson out this time to see the excitement, but she didn't want to get involved in the turmoil.
The rule of aristocratic survival: never meddle!
"Wouldn't it seem like we'd be scared to leave now? Let's wait and see the situation first, even if someone targets the Duchy of Moxi, the situation will not deteriorate much for a while.
This game is not specifically for me, as long as we don't get deeply involved, we will be constantly involved.
The Principality of Moxi does not have a high sense of existence, and it is not worth the efforts of all forces to clean them up. The only mortal enemy is the fallen kingdom of Warhammer.
If it had been done by those old and young people, things would have been much simpler. As long as you find someone and deal with it in a bright and bright way, it is an explanation to the elf race.
I'm afraid that a certain big force will intervene, even if it is found out, the Principality of Moxi will not be able to help others.
On the elven side, they can only figure it out by themselves. Without paying a certain price, it will be difficult to end this time. ”
Hudson analyzed rationally.
……
At the auction, George's anger grew stronger. In the blink of an eye, the five elf slaves were destroyed in front of his eyes, and there were obvious signs of abuse on their bodies.
I was already worried, how to give an explanation to the elves, but now things have become more and more complicated.
"Your Majesty, it has been determined by the priest that these five elves are already dead. It's just that the necromancer used evil means to imprison their souls in their bodies.
Now that the necromancers are far away from the scene, unable to continue to manipulate their souls and bodies, it is revealed that they have been dead for many days. ”
Prime Minister Hurcheg said with a solemn expression.
This wave of them can be miserable, just now so many people can prove that these five elf slaves on the ground are alive, and now they have suddenly become dead, and there is no place to reason.
Even if it was proved to be the work of a necromancer, it was useless, and unless the person involved was caught, it was impossible for the elves to believe such an explanation.
"Check!
No matter which forces are involved, the real culprit must be found.
Now that the enemy has already attacked, he will not rest on his laurels. In the future, I am afraid that there will be no shortage of similar means.
Times are different, and we are no longer the small, transparent ordinary principality of the past. We may even have a slight military advantage over some of the lower kingdoms.
Since it has become a major force, it is inevitable to participate in disputes on the mainland. Whether we want to or not, we are passively involved.
We must adjust our mentality in time and take the most positive attitude to meet the challenges ahead! ”
George cheered everyone up.
His instincts told him that the principality was about to face great trouble, and that he had to concentrate his efforts on dealing with it.
