Chapter 49: The Lost Wealth
As a god in the eyes of the residents of Flame City, an outstanding lord in a kingdom, and a star in a remote area, Mo Xuan's influence in this world is almost equal to zero, so when Mo Xuan left this gradually prosperous city in his huge airship, no one else knew about it except for the upper echelons of Flame City.
With a huge roar and the magic power that continued to escape, the airboat carried Mo Xuan and his party towards the Blue Star Elf Empire at a rapid pace.
"Your Majesty, I insist that the appearance of the blasphemy demon has a close relationship with that lord, and perhaps it was the lord who caused it, so I beg you to give the order to conduct a thorough investigation of Flame City. It was an official who spoke, an official who said big and small, this person had a round face, a big belly, a half-bald head with a long beard with curved edges, and at this moment the fat lips like two hams were touching up and down, and words that seemed to be sincere for the consideration of the country came out of his mouth.
Augustine didn't know this person, but just now his intelligence officer had quietly told him the information about the fat man, and the disgusting fat man in front of him was his younger brother, the Duke of Berval, Augustin could see the blankness in the eyes of the fat man in front of him, because this fat man knew that he would never live long.
But what do you want to do, my dear brother?" Augustine was puzzled, and after knowing that Augustine saw the naked greed in the eyes of the nobles around him, it dawned on him that all this was aimed at the City of Flames.
I have to say that Bolval's hand was played beautifully, and the loss of a small chess piece completely led out the greed in the bones of the nobles.
Originally, the nobles did not notice. Or rather, they didn't take it to heart, but after being poked out by the fat man, these nobles found that the Flame City was too fat to be fat, and dripping golden grease flowed in front of them, and the tempting fragrance made their greed howl in their hearts.
But before you know it, Flame City has taken a pivotal position in the Kingdom of Mali, but no one has ever cared.
"You see that too?" asked Augustine softly.
There was a cold silence in the whole scene, and only a few people opened their mouths to speak, but they were blocked back by this terrible indifference.
This is a dilemma, and logically speaking, without evidence. Not even Augustine had the right to move anyone in the City of Flames. Not to mention a thorough investigation of the Flame City, but the greed of the nobles has formed a general trend that has caused these gluttonous greedy creatures to direct their eyes to the Flame City, and if they do not satisfy their appetite, it will cause them resentment.
Although the Kingdom of Mali is already a country with a very strong degree of monarchy, the power of the nobles has been greatly weakened. But still no one can underestimate these nobles. To put it mildly, they are the masters of the country.
After a moment of silence, Augustine spoke, "I'm not going to meddle in this. After saying that, Augustine looked coldly at the silent nobles.
Some of the nobles waiting below are lost. Some people rejoice, and Augustine says not to interfere, which means that he does not support or oppose it. In other words, it's up to them how far they can go.
After half a ring, a secret order disappeared without a trace through the teleportation circle that only the king could use.
"Don't let me down!" Augustine's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and the cold aura made the accompanying guards unconsciously take two steps back.
A few days later, a nobleman moved his family out of Iron Wall, but disappeared without a trace on the way, but who cares about these things!
"Run, run, don't think you're a swordsman, there's a piece of garbage like you in Flamecity! "A heavily armed knight is training soldiers.
As the knight reprimanded, a group of heavily armed soldiers were running with heavy steps, and it was evident that their physical strength had reached the limit, and their exposed clothes were already wet, and drops of sweat slipped down their chins, and the sweat dripped, splashing a small cloud of dust on the ground, but it was immediately drowned in more dust.
It's not that no one can't stand it, but looking at the companions around them who are still working hard, they have pressed that thought to the bottom of their hearts.
"Light infantry, archers, crossbowmen, and even some mercenaries who plan to join the periphery will also get this opportunity, and when the time comes, you will have to face more than just the few companions in front of you, if you want to sit on a tall horse and accept the worship of the little girls, you must make yourself the strongest, so that you will get this honor. The knight on the horse still said unhurriedly, but these words stimulated the soldiers who were still working hard.
The soldiers of Flame City are not short of money, because Mo Xuan attaches great importance to it, so the salaries of the soldiers in Flame City are also among the best in the entire human world.
The soldiers of Flame City lack honor, and the rewards given by Flame City for various feats are absolutely eye-catching, let alone the honor that comes with this feat.
Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, the battles in which human soldiers have participated are very few, and the few battles that have been overshadowed by the brilliance of the barbarians who have participated in the war in large numbers.
Whenever these soldiers remembered the admiration of the big girls and little daughters-in-law on the street when they talked about the barbarians, it made them jealous, not to mention the embarrassment that their sons and nephews were speechless when they asked about their achievements, and now being selected for the cavalry regiment was the root of their turnover.
As soon as they thought that they could proudly say to their children and nephews that they were soldiers in the future, the heat in their hearts became more and more vigorous.
Since a few days ago, Benedict has discovered a strange thing, the number of merchants who come to Flame City has been decreasing, in Benedict's opinion, this is completely ridiculous, in the Kingdom of Mali and even the Resas Empire, the goods of Flame City are also famous, but this strange thing really happened, which really makes Benedict can't figure it out.
If there are nobles targeting Flame City, some large chambers of commerce are still operating, but Benedict knows that Flame City will be unbearable sooner or later, this is the disadvantage of Flame City, and it is also the disadvantage of a factory-commercial city that relies entirely on export goods, and once the outside demand decreases, the city will fall into a vicious circle.
Benedict wanted to solve these problems, but he found that even the wallet he now called Flame City still couldn't solve the problem, which was beyond his ability.
What Benedict didn't know was that when he was at a loss, the owners of the caravans who had disappeared as if they had never appeared were also frowning at the moment.
To do a big thing, it is impossible to be completely perfect, it can only be said to be the best you can be, these great nobles who want to target Flame City, although they don't believe that Flame City will have any back, but the cautious habits they have cultivated over the years have made them accustomed to hiding behind the scenes, and resolutely do not appear until the last moment.
So in order to test the reaction of the Flame City, the little nobles who were attached to them were suddenly unlucky, as the saying goes, send you to death, and enjoy me, this is the current situation between the big and small nobles in the Kingdom of Mali.
On the one hand, the big nobles forbade the minor nobles to trade with the Flame City to suppress the Flame City, and on the other hand, the transaction with the Flame City was not put down, and while making the profits brought by the Flame City, they looked at the Flame City like a golden hen with their greedy eyes.
"Damn, shit, shit. The housekeeper outside the door shrunk his neck and pressed the hat on his head a little lower, as if some beast was staring at him.
"Butler, is my father still angry?" the voice of a male duck in the midst of a voice change rang in the butler's ears.
The butler turned around unhurriedly and performed a courtesy that he didn't know how many times he had done: "Honorable young master, Lord Baron." ”
"Bang dang. The sound of furniture colliding with furniture in the room speaks for itself.
The butler and the boy showed helpless expressions at the same time.
"Why is this happening?" the boy asked, puzzled.
"Today, when the Baron was enjoying the scenery at the top of the castle, he saw the caravan of the Duke's house, and it became like this. ”
"What's going on?" the boy was still puzzled.
"The caravan is coming from the direction of Flame City. ”
After hearing this, the young man showed an indignant expression on his face, cutting off people's financial routes was like killing his parents, when his own financial routes were banned, the duke who gave the order was making a lot of gold coins that originally had a share of their family, and the young man's heart was immediately unbalanced, you must know that his pocket money has increased in the past two years is completely because his caravan has made a lot of money, and now the caravan has been ordered to stop, which means that his pocket money will be less.
"Hell, I don't want to go back to my old life. The young man said indignantly.
The housekeeper who heard it on the side showed a worried expression when he heard this, it seems that the previous life of this family was indeed not very good. (To be continued......)
