First Wizarding World War
Chapter 229 Rumors from Hometown
Although Charlotte's position is not the highest, he controls the Knights of Favonius, and the Knights of Silver Pigeon Castle also obey him. He also represents Krel. These local nobles in Mostar are quite obedient. His reputation won in successive battles also played a key role.
Facing this group of local nobles, Charlotte said with a smile: "Unfortunately, Duke Joseph died in the South Seraf Territory. It is a loss for each of us to lose such an excellent leader."
"It's just..."
"Mostar is the city of all Mostar people, and the wealth of this city should belong to every Mostar person."
The tone of this sentence was very clever, and almost all the Mostar people's eyes lit up. Sure enough, Charlotte said next: "I decided to divide the wealth left by the Duke equally among everyone."
This sentence triggered the "resonance" of the nobles, and some even cheered quietly.
Charlotte said with a smile: "But Mostar Castle is a big city with a population of more than 100,000, and there is no way to directly distribute it to everyone. This requires the nobles to take responsibility."
Every noble's heart trembled after hearing this sentence. They were extremely grateful for Charlotte's wisdom. This sentence was like the wisest king, and it hit the heart of every noble.
Charlotte then turned slightly and said: "This matter only needs three standards: fairness, fairness, and fairness."
"However, many things cannot be divided equally or cut, such as this Duke's Mansion! So I have a small request, which is to start from the Duke's Mansion and hold an auction. The cash obtained from each auction will be evenly distributed to each noble present."
"What do you think?"
Mostar Castle cheered in unison and supported this decision very much. They had been blinded by the huge benefits and simply forgot to question it.
Charlotte immediately started the first auction and specially named this auction: Mostar Castle War Tax Collection Meeting.
Before the auction began, he announced publicly that he would never touch any of the cash from the auction, and asked the nobles of Mostar Castle to publicly elect 18 of the most respected people to jointly supervise this huge amount of money.
This announcement gave the nobles a "reassurance", and they quickly elected 18 nobles with their own private knights to take charge of such a large amount of cash.
The first item was auctioned very smoothly. The Duke's mansion was deeply loved by the nobles of Mostar Castle, especially because some people thought that the money from the auction would be shared among everyone and must not be sold at a low price to benefit a grandson. So regardless of whether they bought it or not, almost everyone tried to "hold the price".
In the end, the Duke's mansion was auctioned at a sky-high price of 63,000 ecu.
Charlotte once mortgaged the Pigeon Castle for tens of thousands of ecu and dumped the debt on Baron Feboli. At that time, he felt that he was very black-hearted and the Pigeon Castle was definitely not worth that price. A house of the same size in Strasbourg only costs tens of thousands of ecu. How could the baronial residence in the Silver Pigeon Castle be sold at the same price as a house in the capital?
He had never expected that the duke's mansion could be auctioned at such an exaggerated price.
When the first "Mostal War Tax" from the auction of the duke's mansion was recorded, the diary really conveyed a thought: the maze progress of Mostal Castle is (1/18).
As the top nobles of the empire, the two dukes certainly have more than one house. Charlotte took out all these houses and sold them one by one. It was the first time for him to experience that the maze progress was advancing rapidly.
When he sold a house in the east of the city, the maze progress of Mostal Castle was (18/18), and it was completed once.
The diary then sent out a thought: Charlotte Mecklen has obtained the temporary rulership of Mostarburg, and has performed tax collection duties, meeting the requirements for arranging the seventh maze. Mostarburg is about to start the second maze. Please complete eighteen taxes. During this period, you are not allowed to leave this place.
Charlotte then began to auction the manors, shops, and collections of the two dukes...
He quickly completed the second maze of Mostarburg and obtained three passages, leading to Machupi, Silver Pigeon Castle, and Cappadocia City.
What surprised Charlotte was that the diary did not prompt the third maze. Although he knew that this thing was very "random", he still felt a little regretful.
After completing this "big auction", Charlotte announced that the rest of the things would be handed over to the local nobles of Mostarburg, and he would never intervene. In order to show enough "honesty", he did not stay in Mostarburg, but took the Knights of Favonius and the Knights of Silver Pigeon Castle away to gather the other two knights.
As soon as Charlotte left, the whole Mostar Castle became lively...
For Charlotte, this was just a little bit of an accident. Being able to complete the maze twice was already a gain. As for the rest of the gains...
Well, don't worry for now.
The three knight groups that escaped from South Seraf, except for the Mostar Castle Knights, belonged to two barons. These two barons were lucky enough to survive. Although they suffered heavy losses, they saved their lives.
They also received documents from Strasbourg, asking them to assist Krel and attack South Seraf again, but how could these two barons be willing to put their last family assets on the line?
They all retreated to their own territories and even formed an alliance to fight against Krel.
But they didn't expect that Claire looked down on their poor few hundred soldiers and didn't come at all. Instead, Charlotte led the West Wind Knights and the Silver Pigeon Castle Knights to kill them.
In order to "avoid suspicion", Charlotte didn't leave anyone in Mostar Castle and left cleanly and innocently.
When they were about to reach their destination, Charlotte suggested to Anastasia that she go to Seagull City and let her go to Ode Mountain City.
Anastasia obeyed happily and really took the Maple Leaf Knights to Ode Mountain City.
Seagull City is the third largest city in the Principality of Behemoth and Charlotte's hometown. He had countless "romantic affairs" in Seagull City, such as a certain Baroness who was charming and charming, although a little older, but mature and charming, and the Baroness's young and lively daughter...
In addition to these, there are many "old acquaintances".
Well, for example...
Well, for example...
Well, for example...
Charlotte was very worried that Anastasia would hear some unbearable "rumors" in Seagull City.
As far as he knew, there were quite a lot of "rumors" about Charlotte Mecklen in this small hometown.
