In just a few days of fermentation, the scale of the investment promotion movement in Aurora City has become more and more huge, in addition to the merchants of Aurora City, there are also many chambers of commerce and private bosses in the coastal area who come to invest, even in addition to the future investment amount agreed in the contract of orcs and sea tribes, the cash collected alone has exceeded the value of five billion euros.

Everyone is unprecedentedly optimistic about the prospects of Aurora City, this is going to sprout, I have to say that the new city organizer is resolute, there have been a large number of engineering vehicles, building materials have been pulled to the beach in batches, piled up into a mountain, construction is just around the corner.

A large number of reports on the Templar Light, the local speculation in Aurora City, and the soaring land prices, the entire Aurora City is already a thriving phenomenon.

Everyone is paying attention to the construction of the largest trading market on the southeast coast, and as for the matter of Rose's challenge to the Eight Great Sanctuary Churches, few people in Aurora City have paid attention to it.

The new city lord no longer made his remarks about 'there can only be one temple in Aurora City', obviously he has put all his energy into the laying of the trading market, the city lord's mansion is full of traffic every day, ushering in and sending it, so it is not lively, as long as this big thing is done, the Lei family will become insignificant in Aurora City, and at that time, you can pinch it as much as you want.

However, to the outside world, the enthusiasm of the Eight Holy Churches to agree to the challenge of roses has not diminished in the slightest, but now that they have agreed to the challenge, things have become much easier.

The Templar Light was no longer filled with the voices of the Rose Sanctuary of Falling Numbers, and the rest was the opinion of all parties on the outcome of the challenge, and the result was surprisingly unanimous.

No one is discussing whether Rose's ultimate challenge can be successful, and even picking the Eight Great Churches is a big joke, and the people who will discuss this issue seriously are fools in the eyes of everyone, and what everyone is discussing at this time is whether the first battle between Rose and Mangalam is likely to win.

Frankly speaking, there were still some people who were optimistic about Rose at first, after all, Mangalam showed a lot of hesitation when he fought before, and I heard that the five disciples sent by Mangalam to Dragon City this time had all been killed, and of course, the most important point, the old Wang team with Li Winnie, Kela and Marpel was not an absolute weaker in the eyes of everyone.

Li Winnie is undoubtedly the number one master of the current Lao Wang team, and it can also be ranked in the top 100 in the top 500 in Dragon City at the beginning, but Mapel and Kela give people the feeling that they are at the same level, ranking about 400 in the top 500, this level can still be called a master within the scope of the Holy Temple, a top master with two excellent disciples of a considerable level, and Mangalam, who has lost his troops, is actually quite dangerous.

This made the bets on the periphery once reach the level that Rose and Mangalam were almost equal, but as Mangalam's various insiders were constantly exposed, the proportion of wins and losses began to tilt continuously.

Insider one, the real masters of Mangalam are not lost in Dragon City...... The five people sent to Dragon City were not the absolute top combat power of Mangalam, in fact, for a sixty-nine-ranked Templar, this was a rather clever and quite common practice.

After all, Dragon City is a very dangerous place, a top-notch temple like the Zenith Sanctuary sent Ye Dun to compete for opportunities, while a bottom-tier sanctuary like Rose poured out of the nest to save a trace of face, but a mid-ranked sanctuary like Mangalam was really unnecessary.

Even if the top masters go, they can't compete with Ye Dun and them, if one is accidentally damaged, then the strength of the Holy Hall will definitely drop significantly, it is better to send some disciples of the upper level to try it first, after all, the quota allocated by the Holy Hall cannot be ignored, these disciples are not weak, if it is done, it is an unexpected gain, if it is really broken, it will not make Mangalam hurt and bones, hide the real top power, and wait until Dragon City is such a big temper, and then find a chance to challenge other Holy Churches to take advantage of them, maybe it can make Mangalam's ranking rise a few places, why not？

This is obviously a secret move by Mangalam, and it is also the reason why they were reluctant to take on the rose before, not because they were afraid of the rose, but because they didn't want to expose themselves in advance because of the unhelpful challenge of the rose, which was tantamount to helping others take the blame! Now that the situation has been exposed, it is simply open, and the general trend of public opinion is on their side, so they are not worried, after all, everyone has already prepared sufficient reasons.

Insider two, among the top 500 in Dragon City this time, ranked sixty-seventh, and returned alive from the trip to Dragon City, Wu Li, announced the transfer to the Mangalam Holy Hall!

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in the outside world, Wuli was a member of the Cassie Sanctuary, and it was a city away from Mangalam, so the transfer must have been a temporary decision, after all, Mangalam was not known as a wizard, and he was definitely not transferred to the hospital for his studies. Dragon City is ranked sixty-seventh, which is already on par with Winnie, but at the same time, Wuli also has a nickname, known as the soul beast master killer! She is good at thunder witchcraft, and she can play with most of the clumsy soul beasts in the palm of her hand just by her speed, especially like Winnie's demon bear!

There is no doubt that this is clearly for the challenge of the rose, or to put it more bluntly, this is for the first master of the rose, Winnie Lee!

To tell the truth, the challenge has been decided, and the temporary addition of people is obviously a bit unruly, but for the sixty-ninth ranked Mangalam, the proud chivalry is far less important than the real victory or defeat, rather than leaving a chance for the Rose to save face, it is better to kill him completely with a black face! What's more, the Rose can temporarily let the adjudicating Mapel join, so why can't Mangalam let Wuli be transferred to the hospital? This is an absolutely fair condition, and no one can find a thorn!

Behind this is obviously the intention of some big people, to completely stifle the hope of the rose at this first level! And as long as Li Winnie is killed, with the level of the others of the rose, Mangalam, who has retained his strength, can definitely achieve a complete victory as long as he arranges his troops slightly!

After all kinds of manipulations and insider exposure, the peripheral betting market is rapidly adjusting the odds, and the odds of the rose are almost 1 to 3, and the first battle of the Rose has begun to be regarded as the ultimate battle on the Templar Light......

The disciples of the Rose Sanctuary were worried about this, but the old Wang clan itself, including Principal Hawkland and other high-level officials, looked relaxed and didn't seem to care.

The work of the work, the improvement of oneself, everything is in order, in order, just quietly waiting for the day to come.

The only one who is busier is Lao Wang.

Every night, he ran around the foundry and potions workshop, and during the day, except for finding a random place to squint for a while in the morning, maybe the dormitory, or maybe the deck chair outside the training room, and then in the afternoon, he disappeared, and became mysterious, and even Winnie and others did not know where he went.

The time is approaching day by day, and everyone in Rose is counting down the date of the challenge, half a month, ten days, five days, three days......

As the day approached, the people of Aurora City, who had been dragged away by the trading market before, finally paid a little more attention to the roses, but at this time, a shocking event broke out.

It was after about eight o'clock the night before, the entire Aurora City suddenly imposed martial law and imposed a curfew, and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, the pro-army, and even the Sea Clan warriors and orc thugs who did not have the right to enforce the law poured into the streets in large numbers, directly blocking all the traffic in the entire Aurora City, let alone going out of the city, not even a single mosquito and mouse were allowed to appear on the street.

Then there was the rude house-to-house inquiry, they held the hand of the city lord, they did not rummage through the cabinets, only inspected the large rooms or looked for various basements, and they rummaged through the entire Aurora City almost inch by inch, but they did not know what they were looking for.

Aurora City was lit up all night, and the massive search operation continued all night, just when everyone was wondering and thinking that with sunrise, it would all be over.

The lockdown and search continued, and everyone was still not allowed to leave their homes or rooms, and this time the search was obviously more thorough than last night's, and all the wells and dark holes in the whole city, all the fluffy and puffy land! The orcs and guards with shovels all rolled up their sleeves, it was really digging three feet into the ground!

As the curiosity grew, the tension throughout the city skyrocketed, and rumors began to spread in the city, and this time the city lord's mansion had collected the money to invest in the trading market, and it was lost!

Five billion, that's a full five billion Leo! Boxes of Kinrio disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace! This ......

The entire Aurora City was dumbfounded, everyone was counting on the development of Aurora City with this money, so that everyone could become rich from a well-off, but now, it was gone?!

The people were worried, worried, and expectant, expecting that it was just a rumor, that the money would be recovered, but by the next night, all expectations had collapsed.

It was a team of bladed silver guards wearing bright silver armor, subordinate to the Blade Alliance Council, the elite of the elite, all the squad leaders above the rank were all registered heroes, the ace division of the blades! And they came to Aurora City for only one purpose, that is, to arrest the new city lord Koleev.

The new city lord was taken away, and the martial law in Aurora City immediately dissipated, and people poured into the streets one after another, only then could they see the shocking news and inside story reported by the Templar Light in the past two days.

Aurora City Lord Koleev, the merchant group that his investment plan found, is a group of professional liars, of course, it is very likely to be the conspiracy of the Nine Gods, but there is no evidence, the other party advocates an investment of one billion, the first batch of 100 million Leo, only 50 million are true, the rest are stones, and the city lord is also on top, using this to raise billions of Leo, although not all of them have arrived, plus the money he borrowed from the Blade Alliance Firm, it is indeed more than 5 billion.

Dozens of chambers of commerce were dumbfounded, and countless private investors lost their money, and signed a billion Leo and 1.5 billion Golden Beibei Auction House and Lu Xing Firm respectively, which naturally blew up, and used all their strength to directly sue the Aurora City City Lord's Mansion to the Blade Alliance Council, which not only involved Aurora and the surrounding cities, but also involved the Sea Clan, which was a serious diplomatic incident, and more importantly, there may be the hands and tails of the nine gods in it.

To tell the truth, the new city owner Koleev was actually born quite innocent, with a family background, it is obviously impossible to say that he really colluded with the Nine Gods spies to divide up this huge amount of money, but stupidity is also an unforgivable sin.

All the investors signed the agreement in black and white, plus the funds that have not yet been paid by the orcs and sea tribes, the total investment is more than five billion lios, and according to the calculation of three times the liquidated damages, it will have to pay 15 billion! Not to mention that for the sake of just one Korlev, even if the entire Aurora City is filled, it is impossible for the Blade Alliance to lose this money.

When something like this happens, it always takes someone to take the blame, so the Council of Blades closed the case with unprecedented speed, and when the next day came to arrest someone, the Templar Light already had the result of the Council's decision.

'Kolelev colluded with the Nine Divine Spies to pour the five billion euros he had collected, and his crime was unforgivable, and he was immediately hanged, all his belongings were seized, and those who demanded compensation were proportionately compensated, while the Blade Council will send the Silver Guard Iron Rider to continue to track down the whereabouts of the lost money'

This Nima ...... This statement is as funny as a joke: How much property can a Koleev have? Tens of millions of his entire family can be confiscated? These tens of millions will be used to compensate for the loss of five billion! This is really the style of the Blade Council, and they won't pay a penny anyway! As for the pursuit of stolen money, everyone knows that this is just a pretext, and this is to be relied upon.

All the investors are already going crazy, this is the real loss of money!

Aurora City fell into chaos, the materials on the beach of the previous enclosure had already been emptied by some clever bitter masters, and the City Lord's Mansion was almost smashed, and the outside was crowded with people, and the door was blocked by countless people, and the leader was the orcs, grandma's, who doesn't know that the orcs are notoriously poor? Even the orcs cheated the money of the orcs, are you still human!

The crowd outside the gate of the mansion was excited, if it weren't for the city guards guarding it day and night, I was afraid that someone would have already rushed in and looted the entire city lord's mansion, and smashed it by the way.

This is the explosive news that has caused a sensation in the entire league, and even Rose and Mangalam, who are about to go to war in two days, have been completely covered by this heat.

Once a dazzling coastal pearl, today it is a crumbling Aurora City, where will this once prosperous city go in the future?

The capital of the Nine Gods ......

This is a chic elegant garden, located in the center of the city, although the area is not large, but the environment is quiet and chic, there are flowers and grass, there are pavilions and ponds in the small courtyard, in the center of the nine gods and emperors of every inch of land and gold are arranged under such an elegant scene, the identity of the owner of the garden is obviously not rich or expensive, and at this moment, the two people sitting in this small courtyard pavilion are both rich and expensive.

"With the help of strength, four or two thousand catties! Only 50 million euros can be exchanged for a blade of a coastal town, Aurora City is only afraid that it will not be able to turn over in ten years this time, wonderful! wonderful!" Thinking that the geographical location of Aurora City is special, it has always been one of the most important ports of the blade, the fifth brother holds Pu Ye Mi in his hand, and casts a big net, originally wanting to gnaw a hole in Aurora City, but with the Lei family in charge, he has never established an inch of skill, but he has repeatedly broken here, but Mr. Canglan can reach there to turn over his hand for the clouds and cover his hands for the rain, this means really makes Longjing breathtaking, lost his goodwill, and offended the Sea Clan, Aurora City is over, Mr. Longjing has a cup!"

The man sitting opposite was none other than the head of the Cang family, one of the ten families of the Nine Gods, the Grand Duke of Canglan.

He was in the prime of life, dressed in white at this time, with a jade face and a lupine scarf, but he didn't look too pedantic and angry, but it gave people a sense of strategizing, he picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Your Highness is too awarded, this matter is actually planned by the little girl, I also have the attitude of letting her try, and I succeeded, I can only say that the stupidity of the Blade Council is still unbelievable." ”

"Oh?" Nine Emperor Prince Long Jing was slightly surprised, and said with a smile: "Then it is even more generous, it seems that Longcheng and his party still make Cangjue's sister gain a lot, if there is a difference between the Blade Council and the Holy Church, it is undoubtedly what we want to see the most, this hand is beautiful, at least Aurora City, the forces of the Holy Temple and the Council cannot get along peacefully." ”

"Your Highness praised it falsely, this kid is very cold and arrogant, but he doesn't deserve such an evaluation. Grand Duke Canglan smiled: "I originally only spent 50 million to let her try, see the world, and finally succeed in one fell swoop, which is inevitably due to the coincidence factor." ”

"Sister Cangjue has been thoughtful and thoughtful since she was a child, and this great achievement is obviously not accidental. Long Jing laughed: "It's just that I don't know anything and want to ask." ”

"Your Highness, excuse me. ”

"It's easier to draw pies and half-truths with money. Long Jing raised his wine glass and said meaningfully: "However, how did you transfer the five billion silver rios from those warehouses quietly?" As far as I know, although that stupid city lord handed over the supervision of the warehouse to the Chamber of Commerce, there were city guards near the warehouse, and they were only allowed to enter and not leave, let alone transport out such a large amount of silver Leo. ”

"Guarding the silver treasury openly and building a warehouse in secret. Grand Duke Canglan said with a smile: "The location of those warehouses was chosen by the little girl's people, close to the coast, the underground soil is relatively soft, and it is very easy to dig tunnels, the new city lord is greedy for money and lustful beyond imagination, and does not trust anyone, although there are a large number of guards nearby, but he is not allowed to get close to the warehouse, and ah, he has a hobby, often taking women to mess around in the pile of money." ”

Long Jingzhi didn't care about this, and muttered: "Although the warehouse is close to the coast, it is also a full two or three miles away, and if you want to hollow out a tunnel from the warehouse, it is impossible for such a large project to go without any movement, and where can the excavated sand, gravel and soil be piled up? How can you hide it from the surrounding guards?"

Grand Duke Canglan laughed and said: "We choose all masters, and we don't dig out directly from the inside of the warehouse, but dig in from the outside......"

"External?"

"Your Highness doesn't know, on the day the Chamber of Commerce settled in the warehouse, the coast of Aurora City has been enclosed as requisitioned land for the establishment of a trading market, and a cordon has been set up, prohibiting others from approaching, there are many engineering vehicles and materials piled up there, and there is also the work of laying the foundation at the same time, and the construction and drilling holes there, even if more sediment is dug out, no one will doubt it. Grand Duke Canglan said.

Long Jing was stunned, but there was still one thing to be curious, he asked with a smile: "Stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix into a phoenix is really a clever plan! But five billion Leo is not a small amount, Cangjue has a way to take it away? As far as I know, on the night the silver money was lost, Aurora City had already sent a message from the magic pigeon, indicating the surrounding sea areas and various land passes, and now in the southeast area of the blade, whether by sea or land, it is difficult for birds to cross, and its inventory intensity is absolutely unprecedented, whether it is by sea or land, I am afraid that this money will not be brought out, right?"

"You don't have to bring it out. Grand Duke Canglan smiled and said, "Just hide it." ”

"Hide, but as far as I know, Aurora City has already dug three feet into the ground at this moment, where can it hide?"

"Just as I was about to announce, the Cang family was willing to give a great gift to His Royal Highness the Nine. ”

Long Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned the wine glass in his hand with interest: "How to offer?"

"Aurora City faces the sea, what in this world is more hidden than the sedimentary seabed?" Grand Duke Canglan smiled slightly, and took out a chart from his arms, on which near the coast of Aurora City, there was a red circle: "On the night of the transfer of all Yin Leo, they have sunk to the bottom of the sea with the ship, including all the entourage on board...... It is my Cangjia descendants who are doing things, this matter is known to God, there is no trace, five billion silver Leo is now lying in that seabed, it may not be salvaged in a short time, but His Royal Highness's Chamber of Commerce ships are all over the world, and when the wind passes in three or five years, you can send someone to disguise it to go and get it!"

As he spoke, Grand Duke Canglan held the chart in both hands and respectfully handed it over to Long Jing. 、、

Long Jing smiled slightly, the wine glass in his hand turned more evenly, but he didn't take the chart, but looked at the Grand Duke Canglan with deep meaning, and said slowly: "Mr. Canglan, this is five billion ......."

"I wish to dedicate all of them to His Royal Highness the Nine!" Grand Duke Canglan bent slightly, did not raise his head, and said without hesitation.

"No merit is not worthless. Long Jing took a sip of the wine in the glass lightly: "What's more, the Cang family and the prince have always been good friends, according to common sense, this picture, Mr. Canglan should be dedicated to my eldest brother." ”

"His Royal Highness the Nine is in charge of my Nine Divine Chamber of Commerce, and this money will only be of greater use if it is in the hands of His Highness the Nine. ”

"Hehe, Ryukyung never believes in pie-in-the-sky good things. Long Jing put down the wine glass and said lightly: "Mr. Canglan might as well say it directly." ”
