Chapter 1001: "Ash" Gathered Endlessly
"My lord, I heard that some suspicious people have entered your mansion. Could you let us go in and check?"
"Of course not ☆!"
"Uh, it's hard for me to do business like this, I won't say anything, just let me take a look!"
"No way☆!"
Peperoncino smiled kindly and showed him a heart.
"It was Sprigen who asked you to come. You just go back to him. If you want to search my mansion, let him come here in person. That's it, he won't make things difficult for you!"
"Okay, okay..."
Seeing that he didn't get in, the patrol captain had no choice but to leave in a cold sweat.
If he didn't leave, he felt that something more important would be lost here!
No wonder his colleagues are reluctant to deal with the Earl, he finally understands the reason!
Sending off the patrol, Peperoncino smiled.
Asking the human guards at the gate to step up their vigilance, he returned to the living room alone.
The anti-queen faction composed of forces from the history of pan-humanity and collaborators of the current Lost Belt, a total of eleven people gathered here.
"Wouldn't it be dangerous if Sprigen came over in person?"
"It's okay, that guy is very slick, but he doesn't want to offend the rich and powerful."
Pepe shrugged, her face full of indifference.
"In order to deal with the queen's questioning, he will definitely come here in person, but he will never dare to search my mansion. It is enough to entertain him and send him away so that he has something to say to the queen!"
"The lord of the Earth Clan, did he have that kind of personality?"
Little Da Vinci spread his hands, a little speechless.
"Didn't you say that the goblins of the soil are notoriously hardworking and stubborn? How do you feel that this lord is slippery enough?"
And he loves doing business very much, he rarely touches a hammer, which is weird enough.
But he managed Norwich in an orderly and prosperous way. Even the newcomers can see that it is lively enough. For the sake of this achievement, no one will doubt him.
"Spliggan is not just slick, he is selfish enough."
Peperoncino chuckled.
Even though he said that, he didn't see how unhappy he was.
"You can see that boring castle from here, too?"
He points out the window.
Looking along his line of sight, Jiang Li could see a very tall castle standing in the center of the city, surrounded by a moat, and it seemed that there was no way to get in.
"That is the castle he built with the bark of the world tree, designed in a format that is best at dealing with intruders. It is heavily guarded and guards are patrolling it all the time. Even if the whole of Norwich is destroyed, Only the treasury city will stand still!"
"You take your own safety so seriously?"
Guda couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue.
Such a stable enemy is really rare, and every one of them has caused them a lot of suffering.
For example, Desius and the like!
"He doesn't value himself, no, it should be said that he values not only himself."
Pepe laughed brightly, but it was a bit ironic.
"He has stored all the money he has collected so far in the treasury city, and no one is allowed to touch it. Even now that Norwich is about to face a catastrophe, he will not allow a refugee to go in for refuge."
"Do you guys know why this is?"
"...Could it be for money?"
Matthew thought it might be that Sprigen didn't care about the lives of the people, but Pepe's tone forced her to think about it.
"You are as smart as ever, Mashu-chan!"
Pepe looked at Matthew lovingly like an old mother, and felt embarrassed by her.
"Spligen regards money as his life, and he will not let go of any opportunity to make money by taking advantage of the loopholes. He will nip any possibility of causing problems with his own property in the bud."
So, making money is his purpose as a goblin?
Muramasa nodded knowingly.
"According to what you're saying, Sprigen doesn't care about the lives of the citizens at all?"
Grim caught the key information.
"For the catastrophe, didn't he do anything?"
"It's not like he didn't do anything."
"?"
"He is speeding up the sale of land!"
"???"
"Norwich implements private ownership of land, and the right to use it for a corresponding period of time is given depending on the purchase price. However, if the entire city is destroyed, the rebuilt land will return to the lord."
"...Fuck!"
Jiang Li couldn't help but swear.
What real estate capitalists!
First sell the land as much as possible, wait for the catastrophe to destroy the city, then take the land back, rebuild it and then sell it!
From this point of view, Sprigen is not only not helping the disaster, he is probably hoping that the catastrophe will destroy Norwich!
Anyway, he himself will not die in the castle made by the World Tree, and the goblins will naturally give birth to the next generation, and then countless money will be credited to the account!
"At this time, you are still thinking about making money. This lord is hopeless, and you can't count on it at all!"
Gareth said angrily.
"The reason why the citizens here don't run away is that besides being a fairy, they are not too afraid of death, and there is also a reason why they can't easily give up the land they bought?"
Habe, who has been reticent for the past few days, couldn't help but sighed authentically.
"Since this is the case, can we only rely on us to defeat the catastrophe?"
Artoria held the wand tightly in both hands, filled with apprehension and uneasiness.
"Then, you must have collected a lot of information about the catastrophe, right?"
Little Leonardo looked expectantly at Pepe and Tristan.
Although she was not a professional detective, her curiosity as an artist made her eager to unravel the secrets of the catastrophe.
When Jiang Li heard the words, he couldn't help pricking up his ears.
"This is also the biggest trouble right now!"
Tristan looked a little embarrassed.
"Although it's embarrassing, the earl and I have very limited information about the catastrophe!"
"How to say?"
"When you entered the city, you should have seen the thick rain cloud in the sky."
Pepe pointed to the sky outside the window, her expression became a little dignified.
"The 'ash' scattered all over Britain has recently accumulated in large quantities in Norwich, which formed the huge cumulonimbus cloud in the sky. The magic power in it is so strong that if it is ignited, it may be able to Burn the whole of Norwich in one go!"
Huge cumulonimbus clouds hang over the entire Norwich sky.
Even on the coast a few kilometers away, when you look up, you can see the endless gray-black sky, and the whole world seems to be crying in despair, which makes people feel uneasy.
"The magic power is really amazing! It is almost enough to rival the super-large magic furnace core, and the speed of the vortex of the rain cloud is also faster visible to the naked eye!"
"Is it stronger than Mecha?"
Guda asked.
"That's not true, but it's definitely a god level!"
Little Da Vinci looked solemn and authentic.
Jiang Li could also feel that the magic power accumulated in that rain cloud was not inferior to the Beast of the Third True Ancestor!
A single blow can destroy a city, and this power is almost the same as that of the True Ancestor Beast!
