Chapter 593 592. What About Varudo! It Stopped for Five Seconds
In Count Haussmann's mansion, the servants were consciously staying away from the study, because at this time, there was a fierce argument in the place where Count Haussmann was receiving guests.
"Why do you do this!?" Count Hausman roared like an enraged lion, "Why did you seize Aundair's batch of supplies without notifying me?"
Facing the lion-like Earl Haussmann, the acting consul showed no fear and calmly replied: "A large amount of grain, iron, and solid wood. Your Excellency, you really can't imagine what these things are used for." ?"
Food, iron, and wood may be nothing if taken together individually, but when these things are sent to Aundair in large quantities, almost anyone will suspect that a war is coming.
"I know, of course I know. I even sold a copy of those supplies to them, at a premium of nearly double."
Earl Hausmann said his behavior that could be called "enemies" in front of the acting consul without hesitation, "I even helped contact the transport convoy and collected nearly half of their transportation costs."
Suddenly hearing his boss's behavior of "collaborating with the enemy", the acting consul was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Excellency, I don't understand..."
"What's so confusing about this?" Count Hausman waved his hand without any concealment. "The only city left in Aundair is in the desert. They can't get out at all, and the total population will not exceed three. One hundred thousand, and within twenty years their population will hardly exceed half a million.”
In fact, even if Aundair is given twenty years, the population will hardly reach half a million.
Because Aundair's current food output cannot feed half a million people at all. When Aundair needs to import grain to feed the people, how many people Aundair can have depends entirely on Count Hausman's mood.
If she gets unhappy one day, she can just close the gates of Kelt City, and Aundair will have to wait for people to starve to death.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand what Earl Hausman did. He planned to make money from Aundair, a country that no longer had much power but was located near the city he controlled.
"Your Excellency, Earl, I must remind you that this kind of behavior will be judged as [funding the enemy] by the Noble Alliance."
"Then do you know how much I earned from this business alone?"
Count Hausmann spoke out a figure, a figure that made such a calm person like the Acting Consul widen his eyes. It was almost a quarter of the tax revenue of the Celtic city.
"Aundair is rich, very rich. Her Majesty the Queen hooked up with the dragon, and the dragon even contributed its own treasure trove as funds to maintain Aundair's operation."
Count Hausmann stroked his stubble with his hand, "It's a pity that I don't have a female heir, otherwise I would like to send it over in exchange for the dragon's treasure. Hell, that is the dragon's wealth. That dragon Is there something wrong with the earl's mind? He actually gave it to a down-and-out queen. Aren't they accustomed to directly kidnapping the princess in the castle?"
Mo Cheng's identity as a giant dragon is not a secret at all among Minanka. It can even be said that Minanka has not directly attacked Aundair until now. One of the reasons is the existence of Mo Cheng.
In particular, Aundair, who was supposed to have an economic collapse recently, suddenly had a better financial situation, and even went on a shopping spree as if she had no shortage of money, which made people even more suspicious about where Aundair's funds came from.
Others don't know, and the people of Minanka don't understand, but the Aundair Central Palace has still not landed in the sky, and there is absolutely no possibility of transporting the royal treasure house there.
Originally, the people in Minanca were still speculating whether it was Aundair's secret treasure house elsewhere, but they soon got the answer. The last dragon, His Excellency Mo Cheng, the hereditary Earl of Aundair, transferred his dragon to All the gold in the treasure house was taken out.
The first time the people in Minanka learned of the news, they even conducted a detailed mental examination of the person who conveyed the news.
The dragon opened his treasure house and took out all the gold inside for human use.
Do you want to see what you are talking about?
But after a detailed investigation afterwards, the people of Minanka confirmed that this was true with a look of shattered worldview.
God knows that even in fairy tales, there are dragons who are desperate for treasure. Why did the last dragon open his treasure house and donate the wealth inside for free?
So much so that after this incident came out, many scholars were discussing whether this was because dragons were not that fond of treasures by nature, or whether a certain last dragon was a special case.
"Earl Mo Cheng had a good relationship with Princess Misas when he was in Fairhaven, and doing this..." The Acting Consul wanted to say that this was not strange, but he still couldn't say it, "Okay, I admit that this matter is completely beyond my knowledge. But Your Excellency, what should we do next?"
"You didn't ask me when you seized the goods, and now you're going to ask me what I did? Aundair even has the balance outstanding."
Count Hausmann was very angry, and he didn’t know whether he was angry about other people’s unauthorized actions or angry about not being able to get the final payment. “From now on, all goods passing through the city need to be scrutinized strictly. Since they have been detained, then from now on Starting today, I don’t want to see Aundair get a grain of food from the outside world.”
"Where are Aundair's supplies?"
"You have seized the things, you ask me..." Count Hausman suddenly realized that this was not the voice of the acting consul, and immediately became alert, "Who!"
The acting consul acted decisively towards the place where the sound came from, but it was already too late.
"Hey Varudo!"
The figure of the visitor crossed his arms, and with the words that sounded like a curse, time stopped.
Count Hausman's mansion was covered by a purple cover, but from Mo Cheng's perspective, the outside world or others would not be able to detect anything unusual.
He had five seconds. For Mo Cheng, five seconds of violent output was enough to blast any enemy below [Demigod] into pieces.
But he didn't do that, because this time the mission was to cause chaos in the city of Kelte.
Therefore, we cannot let these two people die obviously from assassination by outsiders.
In five seconds, Mo Cheng only did one thing. He took out the swords from the waists of Count Hausmann and the Acting Consul, and then asked them to hold swords in their right hands.
He even checked specifically and confirmed that both parties were right-handed.
Then, the two people standing opposite each other held a sword in their right hand and pressed it against the other's chest. Then Mo Cheng pushed, causing both of them to pierce the other's heart.
After the work was done, five seconds had just arrived. At the same time that the [Time Barrier] was lifted, Mo Cheng activated [Anti-Time Wandering] and left Count Hausman's mansion.
Thanks to [Nine-Tailed Yanhu] for the reward
