Duke Albert Talanik.

This is Mogan's first special type of "target customer" and the best person to test the waters in the early days.

Of course, if the plan goes well, with the amount of the duke's assets, the initial plan may be able to evolve into a final plan.

All the information had already been put into Mogan's mind. He was very caring, and specially customized a folder for the duke with the labels of "rich nobleman", "arrogant fool", and "hereditary negative case", and the treatment can be said to be perfect.

— like the benefits that can be looted from him.

The only time I saw this person was when Mogan was nineteen, at Queen Cole's birthday ball.

At that time, Mogan borrowed a knight's costume from an acquaintance in the Knights and worked as a quail in the guards, but he didn't expect to see a good show. In order to take care of his mother, who had not attended a friend's public ball for twenty years, Morganx went to the scene, without even informing the person being cared for, and only asked the royal guard to bring a message to the queen as a request for permission by the way.

At the time, he didn't have a plan to show up, but he could tell at a glance that this thing was a fool.

A neatly combed standard aristocratic curly hair, an expensive and extravagant custom-made dress, every inch of the clothes has been carefully and neatly groomed by the servants, and it is also equipped with a Tianhe wooden cane that is said to be produced in the Kingdom of Denton and can increase people's wisdom.

Duke Albert's appearance is fair discussion, but in fact, he is quite human. But when he opened his mouth and only put the "aristocratic etiquette" that existed orally, he immediately revealed his background and cultivation, which was probably too far worse than the "layman" in his mouth.

Not everyone has the "courage", not only mocking Her Majesty's humble fiancé in public, but also biting everyone in anger after being reprimanded, and competing with a cold and glamorous dragon who is extremely irritable because of the dress to tie the waist for the last plate of strawberry cake.

In fact, it is difficult for Mogan to understand why there is such an obvious political puppet.

After all, such a person, no matter how you look at it, will not be a ruthless conspirator who has been lurking for decades after the war, secretly dealing with or bribing all the upper echelons of one of the most prosperous cities in the Kol Empire, hiring people to murder the entire family of four whistleblowers, monopolizing the income from farmland and minerals through the public election of the kingdom, and then appointing cronies to establish an armed city-state in the territory of the Kohl Kingdom.

Although it is not obvious on the surface, according to Mogan's estimates, a coup d'état in the sense of implementation may soon occur.

Fortunately, this was the trouble of Mogan's parents and godmother, and the southern tip of his continent was separated from the unfortunate city by a mountain range. Mogan will not participate in such boring things unless necessary, but it does not prevent him from finding a breakthrough in his favor.

Who is behind the stupidity, Mogan also has a guess:

Either they have a lot of connections, or they are powerful.

Maybe it's Duke Albert's crippled brother, the archmage in the kingdom who taught all the princes and nobles basic magic, some unknown lover with bad intentions, or even some servant or butler of Talanik's manor, etc.......

Whoever it is, Duke Albert is indeed a good tool to test the waters. And judging from his arrogant performance, in order to control such a person's political status, he must always taste the sweetness.

For example, to have some economic authority.

According to the information obtained by Mogan, the "Magic Slime Jacuzzi" and the "Planting Garden Beets" projects invested by Duke Albert in recent days are just a reference, which proves that the disposal of assets on the surface is indeed his own handiwork.

This is the opportunity that Mogan found, he is a very decent businessman.

The basic business system of the Kohl Kingdom is close to saturation, and it will take either time and capital to make a fuss about it. In order to gain immediate access to greater business opportunities, Mogan needs more money, preferably in the presence of a wronged boss who has no trouble.

It's going to be cold, so it's better to hand over the gold coins you don't want.

A "free investor" like Duke Albert, who is already bullying men and women with his aristocratic status and the forces behind him will soon be liquidated, is undoubtedly a legitimate target, and Mogan has no intention of taking away the property that should have been returned to the treasury or the people.

In this degree of borrowing, money is only an increasing or decreasing figure for him.

Mogan's greed was based more on love, focusing on the pure nature of his gold coin storage and disdaining to collect too dirty assets. Therefore, even the borrowed principal has a plan in advance, and he will repay it in full when he makes a profit as soon as possible.

Counting that the time was about the same, Mogan also cleaned up all the corners inside and outside the cave to ensure that the physical traces of people coming were kept to a minimum, and by the way, picked a few edible wild fruits instead of today's dinner.

Then he flew over the valley again and returned to the original cliff.

Returning to the form of a normal person, the full moon at this time happened to be half obscured by dark clouds. Mogan looked up at the sky and suddenly felt lucky—if it was this weather, he would have stayed twice as long, and he wouldn't have had that much time to check the details.

The top of the mountain in the dark is not gloomy either, for the trees are scarce, only grass grows wildly, and the height is only knee-high.

Mogan also had to think about how to make up the purpose of his trip when he went back, and after thinking about it, he was still busy all afternoon, and the excuse of finding a place to have a meal was the most simple and reasonable. I just picked the fruit and I was able to fill my stomach. As the prototype of the huge dragon clan, the amount of food is larger, and it eats a little longer, and wanders in the valley for a long time in order to find enough food, which should be quite understandable in the eyes of others.

The valley was too ostentatious, and it was too dangerous to go back, so Mogan stayed on the deformed cliff for the time being.

In addition to the convenience of spreading wings, there is another benefit to choosing this small open space as a transit. From here, you can see most of the port, the flower fields of the entire town of Windsor, and a vacant lot near Mogan's residence.

Of course, this is not the "best vantage point", and Mogan does not forget the importance of being rare for the sake of convenience.

In other words, any other person should feel that the years here are quiet and suitable for retirement, and the little abacus in Mogan's heart is that there should be no abnormal conditions in such a calm and comfortable place, which will damage his cherished property.

Mogan scanned the waterfront as customary. Aside from the usual ebb and flow, the sea is perhaps calmer than some lakes. Since there has been no record of a tsunami in the mountains for 100 years, the impact on nature should be negligible.

No matter how many times he confirmed it, Mogan felt that his choice was very suitable, so he let go of his constant vigilance a little.

But when his gaze shifted from the sea to the port, Mogan was slightly stunned.

In addition to the fishing boats that usually dock, there seems to be a special new big ship docked on the side of the harbor.

Of course, this kind of port where people trade will naturally dock many cargo ships for passage or trade, but according to the corner of the ship that can be seen outside the mountain, this ship is different in decoration and size, and it is not the structure of a regular cargo ship.

Where does this variable come from?

Mogan matched the possibilities in his memory, and at that moment, a bright spot suddenly appeared in his vision.

It was too far away to tell the details, but this abnormal situation gave him a bad premonition.

Because that bright spot is like a "shooting star" from behind the mountain, flying in a parabolic trajectory to the distant sea level.

Tens of seconds later, a sound that travels slower than the speed of light allows Mogan to learn the truth.

"Boom!"

The loud sound of the gunpowder explosion came from a distance, and the changing direction of the wind revealed the ship's flag.

- Is it a pirate ship, or is it a pirate ship that "fireworks" with people in the coastal waters.

"Click!"

Mogan was silent and crushed a wild fruit.

Since the beginning of his life, his face has never been so ugly.
