From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

"Yes! High-quality platinum lead is a symbol of status and is very popular in the upper class." Litt nodded in agreement, then frowned slightly: "But the Kingdom of Frevans was destroyed not long ago."

"The newspapers report that a terrible infectious disease has broken out in the 'white town' of Freifans and that the country has been decimated."

At this point, Litte looked regretful. "I heard that the ground and trees in the 'white town' Frevans are as pure white as the ice and snow country in the fairy tale world. It is so beautiful that it seems like a fairyland on earth."

Litt had always wanted to see it with her own eyes. She said enviously, "I really envy the Kingdom of Frefans for having such a specialty as platinum and lead."

When Xia Jieren heard Litte say that the Kingdom of Frevans had been destroyed, he was stunned. He thought to himself, "I didn't expect that the Kingdom of Frevans had been destroyed not long before I traveled through time."

"Then Trafalgar Law should have joined the Don Quixote family."

"Uh~" When Xia Jieren heard that Litt envied the Kingdom of Frevans for having platinum and lead mines, he looked at her speechlessly.

"what happened?"

Seeing Xia Jieren looking at her with strange eyes, Litt asked puzzledly.

“Owning platinum-lead mines is not a good thing,” Xia explained.

"How could that be? With platinum-lead ore we can gain enormous wealth." Litte was puzzled.

Xia Jieren asked helplessly: "Why do you think the Kingdom of Frefans suddenly perished? Was there an epidemic? How did the epidemic appear?"

At this time, the butler at the side interrupted and said: "According to the newspaper report, the infectious disease is called platinum lead disease. The skin and hair of the patients become whiter and whiter, and finally the whole body suffers great pain and dies."

"It was named because it first appeared in the White Town and because its skin and hair were the same color as platinum and lead after it became sick."

Obviously, unlike Litt who only glanced at the newspaper, he understood the details better.

"Is there any problem with this?" Gulanqi Kill was also a little confused.

"This is a big question! Why do patients with platinum-lead disease have the same skin and hair color as platinum and lead? Don't you find it strange?"

Xia Jieren also looked at Litte and the housekeeper with some confusion.

"Could it be..."

After a moment, Litte looked up at Xia Jieren with disbelief.

"Yeah!" Xia Jieren nodded slightly, indicating that they were right.

"Huh~" After hearing the exact answer, they all took a deep breath.

Litt suddenly shuddered and said in disbelief: "The platinum-lead industry has existed for more than a hundred years. Hasn't the World Government investigated it?"

"Of course I have investigated, but so what."

"As early as a hundred years ago, the World Government had visited that country to conduct a geological survey. In fact, they had already realized the truth about that thing at that time."

Xia Jieren spoke calmly, but his words made both Litte and her servant shiver all over.

"They don't care about the lives of the people of the Frevans Kingdom. They just know that platinum and lead will bring huge wealth to the World Government. That's enough."

"And the toxins emitted by mining platinum and lead ore do not immediately affect the human body."

"The accumulation of toxins takes a long time and will not erupt in a short period of time. It will be passed on from generation to generation to future generations, and the life span of future generations will gradually decrease until the toxins completely erupt."

"This is indeed the case. It was not until a few years ago that platinum-lead disease began to appear one after another. There is basically no drug to treat this disease, and there is no prevention or treatment method."

When Litte and her servant heard the truth about platinum lead disease, their mouths opened in shock.

"Did Frevans really perish because of the spread of platinum-lead disease?" Litt asked again.

"Of course not." Xia Jieren replied firmly: "Platinum lead disease is not contagious."

"As soon as the platinum-lead disease appeared on a large scale, the world government knew that the truth they had tried so hard to conceal could no longer be concealed."

"So they fabricated that platinum lead disease was contagious, causing fear in the countries surrounding the Kingdom of Frevans. They sent troops to guard the borders one after another, and finally sent troops into the Kingdom of Frevans to massacre the people."

The cruel and dark scene of the world was now completely exposed to Litt and others.

She never expected that the world would be so dark.

Compared with the World Government, the former nobles of the Kingdom of the Netherlands were nothing but dwarfs and could not even stand up to the standard.

After Litt and the others digested this information, their favorable impression of the World Government had completely turned negative.

Litte was secretly alert in her heart: "When dealing with the World Government, you must be extremely alert. As for the promises made by the World Government, just listen to them and only believe half of them at most."

A few minutes later, seeing that Litte's expression had eased, Xia Jieren said jokingly, "So, do you still want platinum-lead ore?"

"Hate it~, I don't want it." Litte rolled her eyes at him.

Xia Jieren smiled and said, "That's right, you don't want it."

"Even if platinum-lead ore is discovered in the strata of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, this news cannot be leaked."

"Otherwise, the Netherlands will be forced to mine for the huge wealth that platinum and lead will bring."

"Once the mining begins, the Kingdom of the Netherlands will follow in the footsteps of the Kingdom of Frevans."

"If they refuse to mine, the World Government will use all means to force the Netherlands to mine, even if it means destroying the kingdom and replacing it with an obedient country."

"This is a dilemma. No matter what we do, it will not be beneficial."

"Unless the Dutch royal family obeys the will of the World Government, and then waits for the outbreak of platinum-lead disease, they will learn from the royal family of Frevans and directly apply for asylum from the World Government and flee abroad."

Litt nodded solemnly at first, then asked in surprise: "The royal family of Frevans is not dead?"

"Of course they are not dead! They are also among the insiders."

“Knowing that platinum-lead ore is toxic, they chose to cooperate with the world government for their own benefit.”

"The World Government reciprocated their kindness by not only allowing them to escape safely from the Kingdom of Frevans, but also helping them establish a new country so that they can continue to abuse their power."

"This is also a way for the World Government to win over people's hearts - get involved with me and you'll get to eat meat."

"As long as they don't disclose the truth about platinum-lead disease, the World Government won't touch them."

"Damn it! How can there be such a royal family?" Litte said angrily, "Protecting the citizens and managing the country well is clearly the responsibility of a king."

Gulanchi Kiel was also very angry. He hated the royal family for abandoning their people.

At the same time as he was angry, he looked at Litte with eyes full of relief: "Queen Litte is a qualified queen, and the Dutch royal family is also a royal family that loves its people. I am proud to serve the Dutch royal family."
