king.

Chapter 167 The Fragrant Auction
As the auction approached, Hudson ordered five hundred elites to set off early.

In name, it was to buy war horses, but in fact it was a transaction in the past.

For such a big deal, everyone is worried about being blackmailed by the other party.Choosing a third-party site is often the best choice.

Trading the "Blood Moon Horn" is destined to be shady, and Hudson is not afraid of people from the mysterious organization playing tricks.

Even if there is a conspiracy, the big deal is to lift the seal on the "Blood Moon Horn".Just relying on that soaring resentment can attract people from the Governor's Mansion.

A coincidence to discover the enemy's conspiracy can be transformed into a conflict between the kingdom and the Holy See.

It is self-evident that the words of a person with unknown origin who are suspected to be in the Holy See and a powerful nobleman in the kingdom are more credible.

The worst situation is nothing more than Hudson's income is gone, and he can only rub off on the kingdom's rewards.

But what the mysterious organization needs to pay is life.

As the capital of the southeastern province, Beda City is not a place where you can come or leave whenever you want.

Not only are there strong men sitting in the town, but also the Crimson Knights are stationed there.The title of the Kingdom's top ten knight orders is still very valuable.

The last time the Skull and Bones rebellion was suppressed, the Crimson Knights killed the Quartet.As far as Hudson knows, only a part of the Cavaliers played last time.

"Knights" and "Cavalry" seem to have only one word difference, but in essence they are very different.

The former represents glory, and no one is qualified to be named without dazzling achievements; the latter is a pure organizational unit.

There can be multiple cavalry regiments in the knight order, the most famous of which is naturally the Holy See's Judgment Knights.

There are not only cavalry formations for running on the ground, but also cavalry formations for flying in the sky, which is short of swimming in the water.

Although the Crimson Knights do not have an established air force, they are still the kings in the southeastern province.

Hudson is very relieved to trade in such a heavily guarded place.In case the mysterious organization dispatched a ruthless character, he would sneak into the barracks.

In order to avoid accidents on the road, Hudson not only brought his five hundred elites, but also invited nobles from the county to attend the auction together.

A team of thousands of people set off from Wright County mightily.Those who know clearly that this is to participate in the auction, but those who don't know may think that it is to go to war.

With such a lineup, sneak attacks do not exist, and all they can do is attack.

Hudson doesn't think the mysterious organization has the ability to mobilize thousands of elites in the Alpha Kingdom to fight an ambush.

There is no army available, only a small number of masters want to sneak attack this team.If you don't prepare a few forbidden spells, I'm afraid it won't work.

Looking at the front line, you can see that the war was so fierce that neither side used forbidden spells.

It's not that everyone doesn't have the ability to use forbidden spells, it's that the price/performance ratio of this thing is too low.

Without five or six magisters of the same department, or a team of magicians, it cannot be released at all.

After letting it out all at once, the mages almost sucked up the rest, and it took a while to recuperate before they could shoot again.

The coverage area of ​​the forbidden spell depends entirely on the strength of the caster.

In theory, it can be infinitely large. In fact, the coverage of most forbidden spells is very limited, and expanding the range of magic will weaken its power.

Forbidden curses recorded in history to destroy cities can be viewed as stories, and they are completely irrelevant.

On the bright side, the human race does not have a sanctuary now, including the pope with the blessing of the artifact, which can only be regarded as a false sanctuary.

With the help of external force, the strength of the strong in the sanctuary can be exploded, but once it is used, it will be fatal.

Pius VII was obviously the master who spared his life. He has been on the throne for so many years, but he has never personally acted.

The situation among the foreign races is similar. The elf queen, who is known as the number one master in the mainland, is only suspected of being in the sanctuary.

Secretly, even if there are masters of this level, the number is absolutely impossible.

Even the strongest in the sanctuary do not have the ability to destroy a city in an instant.The possibility of artistic processing of those great figures who destroyed the world in legends is too great, and they are obviously not representative.

The mighty advance of the team made the scalps of the spies in charge of surveillance tingle.With so many nobles and lords dispatched together, one must be careful from a distance, isn't close-range investigation fatal?
No matter how difficult the task is, it has been completed. If you can't get close, then it's estimated.For this kind of investigation mission, a little bit of error is justified.

……

"My lord, the target has already appeared. It is expected to arrive in Beida City tomorrow afternoon.

It's just that the target is very vigilant and takes action with a large group of people.Judging from the information collected, there are more than 500 people.

And all of them are elite, many of whom are knights.The communication of the target is very broad, and nobles continue to join the team along the way, and the specific number of people changes at any time.

If you want to rob and kill, unless a few adults do it yourself, there is no chance of winning. "

Shadow Killer said in a deep voice.

The long-term training has made him lose the feelings of a normal person, and he is more like a cold machine.

It's just that an intelligence officer like him, who is almost a dead man, can be rational. It doesn't mean that the intelligence personnel below can also disregard their own gains and losses, and an ambiguous intelligence appears.

The goal is to guarantee a minimum of 500 people, and there is no upper limit, which makes things awkward.

I saw Kevin waved his hand and said calmly: "Okay, don't think about these uncertain things.

Now our task is to bring back the Horn of the Blood Moon, the rest are side matters.There is no need to take risks for a little profit, if it affects the mission, it will be troublesome. "

Affecting the mission is one aspect, and affecting making a fortune is also a big problem.If the Blood Moon Horn is snatched back, how can I reap the benefits?

Even if the credit is a little bigger, how much can it be increased.In the minds of the Holy See's senior officials, as long as the Blood Moon Horn is brought back, it is a great achievement, and any means are the same.

It's just this kind of thing, it's enough for the higher-ups to know about it.In front of the pious believers who work below, it is still necessary to perform a performance.

After a pause, Kevin turned his head and told Isabel in the corner: "Miss Isabel, for the next deal, you will come forward to negotiate with Viscount Hudson.

It is best to create a little scandal to attract the attention of the outside world as a cover for this transaction.

A few of us will pretend to be your guards and follow behind.Everything in the box is yours from now on.

Rainbow Moon, we've got it covered for you.When it is done, you are a free man!Shadow Killer will hand over the reward promised to you earlier. "

"Thank you sir!"

Isabel said with a little excitement.

The whole person trembled, as if excited.It's just that deep down, it's a different scene.

The trembling of the body was an instinctive reaction, but it was not the excitement of being free, but the shock of being frightened by the news.

Having been with the singer group for many years, Isabel is not a simple novice, she is best at observing words and expressions.

From Kevin's seemingly kind expression, she felt something unusual, as if she was looking at a dead person.

So many people present are direct descendants of the mysterious organization, but she is the only peripheral member, and a peripheral member who is about to leave.

Knowing such secret news, letting her go like this is obviously not in line with the usual style of the mysterious organization.

It's too late to regret.Who told her that when she was young and ignorant, when she joined the mysterious organization, she had a cooperative attitude and made an agreement with others not to stop her when she left.

When it comes to the "Blood Moon Horn", unstable elements must not be allowed to stay.Even if this pawn is valuable, the Holy See will not take any risks.

……

Compared with the Holy See, the "Skull and Bones" camp on the other side is much poorer.Looking at the few masters around him, the masked man began to hesitate.

As an aspiring Skeleton Lord, he didn't want to lose all his wealth for an uncertain adventure.

"The people of the Holy See are in Beda City, Viscount Hudson also ran over at this time, and took a large team to act together. The possibility of a deal between the two parties is very high.

With our strength, we do not have the strength to stop this transaction.Now the plan needs to be changed, and all the previously deployed actions are cancelled.

Next, we will use the power of the noble group to find a suitable time to expose the identities of the Holy See and his party.

Let's just say that they colluded with the orcs and came here with the horn of the blood moon, intending to set off a rebellion in Beda City and disrupt the rear of the Alpha Kingdom! "

The masked man said viciously.

Plans are not changing fast.Originally, they wanted to stir up a conflict between the two parties, so as to benefit the fisherman, but they did not expect that they would reach a deal.

After working on the plan for more than half a year, it turned into a farce.It's like the new house I prepared, but let someone else enter the bridal chamber.

The masked man really couldn't swallow the anger in his stomach.

However, the trading place was in Beida City, a restricted area where he wanted to do something but didn't dare to go.

As a last resort, they can only play the game of borrowing a knife to kill someone.Now he only expects the nobles in the southeast province to do more to keep all the people from the Holy See.

As for the Horn of the Blood Moon, falling into the hands of the Alpha Kingdom is far better than returning to the hands of the Holy See.

As a fanatic who aspires to restore the glory of the Lord of Dawn, he has never been tired of exposing the dark history of the Holy See and damaging the prestige of the Holy See.

Including the series of evidence presented in the Frankish kingdom's questioning of the Pope's legitimacy, there is the selfless contribution of the masked man.

"Holy Lord, our identities are not visible, and we cannot contact the Governor's Mansion. At most, we can only release rumors to attract the attention of those nobles.

It's just that in this way, it's easy to startle the snake.If people from the Holy See find out, then..."

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, the masked man interrupted: "Karliss, your mind hasn't changed yet.

What time is it now?
The army of orcs invaded, and any news about the orcs would cause an uproar.

What's more, the Holy See colluded with the orcs to set off a rebellion in Beida City, such a shocking event.

Regardless of whether the matter is true or false, as long as the news is received, the gang of nobles who are afraid of death will send someone to investigate.

Write a few more secret letters, find a few people on the street, and deliver them to the relevant noble officials.As long as one person's attention is attracted, the goal is achieved.

Do you think that the identities of those guys from the Holy See can stand the investigation?
As soon as the identity of the people in the Holy See is revealed, the transaction will be over.In order to get rid of himself, the Viscount Hudson had to make trouble for them.

The matter of the blood moon horn, 100% must be overthrown by these people in the Holy See.The crime of colluding with the orcs, he would probably have done it for the Holy See. "

……

In Beida City, the much-anticipated auction kicked off amid everyone's anticipation.

The allure of war horses was enormous. All nobles with some strength in the province sent representatives to participate, and some even appeared in person.

In addition to the Warren Chamber of Commerce, there are other merchants coming to join in the fun.The number of war horses to be auctioned has also increased from the initial three thousand to four thousand three hundred.

It seems that there has been a lot of increase, and the situation of too many monks and too little food has not changed.

Hudson doesn't know how many war horses other forces want to buy.

Anyway, the more the better for himself, even if it is to wrap up these thousands of horses, it can be considered.

It seems that the number is huge, but in fact there are many branches of the Koslow family, and the younger brothers in the county also have needs.

Small nobles do not need to build professional cavalry, but a small amount of cavalry is still necessary to explore horses.

For their own safety, it is also necessary to arm a few trusted cavalry guards and charge along with them.

It seems that it is not a big deal for a family to share ten and eight war horses, but when nearly two hundred noble families come to share, this number will soon inflate.

Start the competition directly, and the price will have to go up to the sky.How can a smart nobleman let merchants handle it?
At the beginning of the auction, a group of powerful factions discussed the ownership of the war horse.The auction still needs to be staged, but the price must be within everyone's control.

In fact, this still takes into account the subsequent impact.Otherwise, instead of discussing how to buy it now, it would be a direct grab.

As a powerful faction in the southeastern province, Hudson was lucky enough to get an independent box without having to squeeze in the hall.

"Dear Viscount Hudson, there is a beautiful lady outside who claims to be your close friend. She came here specially to talk about it. Do you see?"

The soft voice of the maid pulled Hudson back who was familiar with the auction rules.

A "close friend," in other words, a lover.But the question is when did he find a lover, it was obviously slander.

"Go down, I'll have a chat with Viscount Hudson alone!"

Before Hudson could speak, a voice came from outside.The soldiers who were supposed to intercept had already moved out of the way.

The maid who was waiting on the side even flashed away at the fastest speed.Judging by the degree of familiarity, it is obvious that similar scenes have been encountered many times.

After glancing at the charming Isabel, Hudson has made up his mind to teach this woman a lesson.

If it was another occasion, and it was delivered secretly, he really didn't mind having an extra lover.

But playing like this at the auction, don't you know that Mr. Hudson's father-in-law is also participating in this auction?

Although they are already engaged, everyone will not regret it because of such a trivial matter, but after all, it will not look good.

He didn't turn his back in a hurry, it was because there were a few more boxes in the room.With his keen perception, Hudson knew that it contained magic spar and magic core.

"The contract is here, let the people behind you sign it!"

While speaking, a parchment flew out of Hudson's hand.It is the contract document prepared before.

In order to make this document, he suffered a lot.Finally, with the help of the mysterious compass, the contract drawing was completed.

As for the effect, the only way to know is to try it.At least it looks more compelling than ordinary magic contracts, like high-end goods.

In this case, the "Guard" is obviously not suitable for staying for a long time.After a few strong men put their bets on the contract, only Hudson and Isabel were left in the room.

Vaguely, Hudson felt that someone was peeping, and the cub on his shoulder stretched out his paws in cooperation.

"Being watched!"

Realizing this, Hudson was not polite, and hugged Isabel into his arms, as if an old lover met and was tender.

At this moment, the magic spar and magic core in the box disappeared completely.

With a sound of "whoosh", the photo stone also entered the hands of Bear Stearns.At the same time, the sealed Blood Moon Horn was also quietly sent out.

The several "guards" who got the things used the excuse of needing to excrete, asked the maid outside the door for directions, and then left the scene with an excuse.

At about the same time, people with the same figure as the previous guards replaced the previous guards and appeared outside the box to guard.

The reaction speed was so fast that if Hudson hadn't told Bear Stearns to pay attention, he wouldn't have noticed that there was a change outside.

"My lord, can you let go?"

The blushing Isabel said slightly.

Hudson's hands were restless just now, and what tormented her was upset.He was obviously very angry, but he still didn't dare to attack.

From the moment the deal was concluded, she was abandoned by the mysterious organization.If she hadn't been needed here to attract attention and cover the smooth progress of the transaction, perhaps she would have been dead.

"Let go, hold my lover, why let go?

Some people consider themselves lovers, do they want to go back on their word now, and treat me as a bully! "

While speaking, Hudson's slap had already been slapped.

This scene caused embarrassment on the faces of the two old men who were hiding and watching from the opposite side.It's not their role to spy on people and flirt.

"Yuli, are you sure the opposite party is colluding with the Holy See and the orcs plotting a rebellion, rather than a young couple flirting?

Everyone is young, and it's okay to make a little mistake.A capable nobleman doesn't have a few romantic affairs.

When this kind of thing is uncovered, the faces of the Koslow family and the Holliser family are not good, and they do not conform to the rules.

Isabel's beautiful name is Yuanbo, and since she entered Beida City, she has been sought after by countless noble children.Even the kid in my family clamored for me to propose marriage for him.

Most likely someone was jealous and deliberately made up the news with the intention of framing her.In order to use our hands to destroy this pair of bottom lovers.

What a big deal, why bother to be such a villain? "

Antar Magister said indifferently.

It doesn't matter who Isabel harms, as long as it's not his kid.He can't afford to lose face by marrying a singer.

Hooking up with Hudson now can just stop his son's delusional thoughts, and he can also settle a matter of his mind.

As for the report that Hudson colluded with the orcs and the Holy See conspired to rebel, Antal never believed it from beginning to end.

It's not proper for a good nobleman to run to mess with these two families, isn't it just crazy.

Don't look at the orcs are awesome now, but humans will win in the end.As for the Holy See, let alone, if the accusation of colluding with the orcs is true, civil strife will first break out within the Holy See.

Just because the top management has no morals doesn't mean that the people below have no morals either.At the very least, the group of ascetic monks representing the highest combat power cannot tolerate the betrayal of the interests of the human race by the Holy See.

In Antal's view, even if the orcs colluded with the Holy See, they would only do so secretly.Involving Hudson in it was completely funny, as if he was afraid that the news would not be leaked.

"How do I know, you've read the secret letter anyway. You have to be careful when you encounter anything like this.

Didn't they also report a few people in the Holy See? It will be clear when they are found out.By the way, there are a few boxes that went in together, you can send someone to check it out. "

Magister Yuli said bravely.

Last time Hudson made him feel ashamed, he thought that Yuli was so active because he caught him this time.

Unexpectedly, they were sprinkled with dog food as soon as they came up.If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would have suspected that the idiots on the opposite side could show it to them on the spot.

"If you want to check, you can check it yourself, and I won't accompany you.

As a popular singer, she should have some savings.Unless you can find the Horn of the Blood Moon to prove that the contents of the letter are true.

Otherwise, it has no meaning other than offending people.If you are not afraid of making enemies and revenge on your children and grandchildren in the future, then go ahead! "

While speaking, Antal turned and left directly, leaving Magister Yuli in a dilemma, and finally he could only sigh helplessly.

The strong are also human beings, and they are not afraid of offending others, but also have to consider for the younger generation.

Normal people are unwilling to offend people to death without reason.

Catch a romantic affair, if it can be counted as a handle, more than half of the nobles in the world have similar handles outside.

If everyone dies together, it can only be called "Merry".

Although it happened before marriage, it was a little too much, but when the cover was lifted, the Holliser family, who was the victim, would definitely not appreciate him.

Unknowingly escaped a storm unintentionally, Hudson is still retaliating constantly.What surprised him was that he had clearly given the opportunity halfway, and Isabel in front of him was not in a hurry to run away.

"Miss Isabel, you stare at the door from time to time, what are you afraid of?
Could it be that the mysterious organization thinks that you know too much and is in the way, and wants to kill you? "

Seeing Isabel's astonished expression, Hudson called out from the bottom of his heart: Fuck!
This bloody plot was actually staged in front of him.

No wonder she would rather be taken advantage of by him than leave in a hurry.Feelings are to avoid chasing and killing, so I have to stay here for refuge.

Being exposed, Isabel didn't continue to cover up, but asked suspiciously: "You are not a necromancer, so what happened last time?"
