Chapter three hundred and seventy fourth missing
In just a few days of fermentation, Aurora City's investment promotion campaign has become increasingly large. In addition to the merchants in Aurora City, there are also many chambers of commerce and private owners in the coastal areas to invest. Even in addition to the orcs, the future investment amount agreed in the sea clan contract, the cash collected alone has exceeded 5 billion euros.
Everyone is unprecedentedly optimistic about the prospects of Aurora City. This is about to grow. I have to say that the new city host is doing things with decisive work. There are already a large number of construction vehicles, and construction materials have been pulled onto the beach in batches, piled up into mountains, and construction is just around the corner.
With a large number of reports on the Light of the Temple, the local speculation of Aurora City, the soaring land prices and prices, the entire Aurora City is already a prosperous phenomenon.
Everyone is paying attention to the construction of the largest trading market on the southeast coast. As for the Rose's challenge to the Eight Great Halls, few people are concerned about it in Aurora City.
The new city lord no longer made his remarks about "There can only be one sacred temple in Aurora City". He has obviously devoted all his energy to the laying of the trading market. The city lord's mansion is full of traffic every day, and it is very lively. As long as this major event is done, the Lei family will become insignificant in Aurora City. At that time, you can pinch whatever you want.
However, for the outside world, the popularity of the Eight Great Halls to agree to the Rose Challenge has not diminished at all, but since they have agreed to the challenge, things have become much simpler.
The light of the temple is no longer filled with all kinds of voices criticizing the Rose Temple. The rest are all the opinions of all parties on the outcome of this challenge, and the result is surprisingly consistent.
No one is discussing whether Rose's ultimate challenge can be successful. It is simply a big joke to pick the eight great temples. Those who will discuss this issue seriously are idiots in the eyes of everyone. What everyone is discussing at this time is the first battle between Rose and Mangalam. Is there any possibility of victory?
To be honest, some people were optimistic about Rose at the beginning. After all, Mangalam showed a lot of hesitation when he faced the battle. I heard that the five disciples sent by Mangalam to Longcheng this time have all been killed. Of course, the most important point is that the Lao Wang team with Li Wenni, Kela and Mapel is not an absolute weak person in the eyes of everyone.
Li Wenni is undoubtedly the number one master of Lao Wang's team now. She was also among the top 100 in the top 500 in Longcheng? Mapel and Kela give people the feeling that they are at the same level. They are about 400 out of the top 500. This level is still a master within the scope of the Holy Temple? A top expert with two excellent disciples of quite a standard? Mangalam, who has lost his troops and lost his generals, is actually quite dangerous.
This made the bets on the outside once reached the point where Rose and Mangalam were almost the same, but as various inside stories about Mangalam were constantly exposed, the proportion of the winner began to tilt.
Insider 1? Mangalam’s real master did not lose in Dragon City... The five people sent to Dragon City were not Mangalam’s absolutely top combat power. In fact, for a temple ranked 69, this is a very smart and common practice.
After all, Dragon City is a very dangerous place? A top sacred temple like the Zen Temple? Ye Dun was sent to compete for opportunities; while a bottom sacred temple like Rose was coming out to preserve a little face; but a middle-class temple like Mangalam? That's really unnecessary.
Even if the top masters go, they can't compete with Ye Dun and the others. If someone is accidentally lost, the strength of the temple will definitely drop significantly. It's better to send some upstream disciples to try it first. After all, the quota allocated by the temple cannot be ignored? These disciples are not weak? If they succeed? Is that an unexpected gain? If they really lose, it will not hurt Mangalam and hide the truly top power. After a great training like Longcheng? Find an opportunity to challenge other temples to pick up their advantage. Maybe it can increase Mangalam's ranking a few more places. Why not do it?
This is obviously a secret move by Mangalam, and it is also the reason why they were unwilling to take on Rose before. It is not because they are afraid of Rose, but because they don’t want to expose themselves in advance because of such a useless challenge as Rose. That is equivalent to helping others take the blame! Now that the situation has been exposed, it has simply opened up. The general trend of public opinion is on their side, so they are not worried. After all, they have prepared sufficient reasons for everyone.
Insider 2, among the top 500 Dragon City this time, the Thunder Witch, Wuli, who was ranked 67th and returned from his trip to Dragon City, announced his transfer to the Mangalam Temple!
As soon as the news came out, the outside world was in an uproar. Wu Li was from Cassi's Temple. Apart from Mangalam, the transfer of the institute must be a temporary decision. After all, Mangalam is not good at being a wizard, so he must not be transferred to the institute for his studies. Dragon City is ranked 67, which is already comparable to Winnie, but at the same time, Wu Li also has a nickname, known as the soul beast killer! She is good at thunder witchcraft, and can play with most clumsy soul beasts in her palms by just speed, especially like Winnie's demon bear!
There is no doubt that this is clearly transferred to the hospital for the challenge of Rose, or to put it more bluntly, this is for Rose's number one master Li Wenni!
To be honest, the challenge has been decided, and it is obviously a bit unruly to add people temporarily, but for Mangalam, who ranks 69, the proud chivalrous spirit is far less important than the real victory or defeat. Instead of giving Rose a slight chance, it is better to kill him completely with a dark face! Moreover, Rose can temporarily let Mapel, the ruling, join, so why can't Mangalam allow Wuli to be transferred to the hospital? This is an absolutely fair condition, and no one can pick out the thorn!
Behind this is obviously the meaning of some big shots, and Rose's hope is completely nipped in this first level! As long as Li Wenni is eliminated, Mangalam, who has retained his strength, can definitely win with a little arrangement of troops!
This is not a chance! After all the various tricks and inside stories were exposed, the external gambling market was quickly adjusting the odds. Rose's odds were almost one to three, and the light of the temple has also begun to regard Rose's first battle as the ultimate battle...
The disciples of the Rose Temple were worried about this, but the Lao Wang team itself, including the senior executives such as Principal Hawkland, seemed to be relaxed and didn't seem to care at all.
What you should do is to improve yourself, and everything is done step by step, orderly, and just quietly wait for that day to come.
The only thing that is more busy is Lao Wang.
Every night, I run around the casting workshop and the potion workshop. During the day, except for finding a place to take a nap in the morning, maybe the dormitory or the lounge chair outside the training room, and then I will disappear in the afternoon. It is mysterious and mysterious. Even Winnie and others don’t know where he is.
Time is approaching day by day, and everyone in Rose is counting down the dates of the challenge, half a month, ten days, five days, three days...
As the days approached, the people of Aurora City, who had been pulled away by the trading market, finally put their attention slightly on the Rose's side, but at this moment, a shocking event broke out.
It was about eight o'clock the night before, and the entire Aurora City suddenly had martial law and a curfew was imposed. The guards and personal troops of the city lord's mansion, even the sea warriors and orc thugs who had no law enforcement powers rushed to the streets and directly blocked all traffic in the entire Aurora City. Not to mention leaving the city, even a mosquito and mouse were not allowed to appear on the street.
Then there were rude inquiries from house to house. They held the city lord's handwriting in their hands, did not rummage through boxes and cabinets, but only checked large rooms or searched for various basements. They searched through the entire Aurora City almost inch by inch, but they didn't know what they were looking for.
Aurora City was brightly lit all night, and the huge search continued all night, just when everyone was wondering and thinking that with the sunrise, it would all end.
The ban and search continued, and everyone was still not allowed to leave their homes or rooms. This time the search was obviously more thorough than last night's search. All the bottoms of the wells, dark holes, and all the fluffy land with traces of overturning! The orcs with shovels and the guards rolled up their sleeves, which was really three feet to dig!
People's curiosity is getting stronger and stronger, and the tension in the whole city is also rising rapidly. Rumors are beginning to spread in the city. This time, the city lord's mansion gathers money to invest in the trading market, and loses it!
Five billion, that's a total of five billion Rio! The box of Jinlio disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace! This...
The entire Aurora City was stunned. Everyone was counting on this money to develop Aurora City and make everyone grow from a well-off society, but now it is gone?!
The people were nervous, worried, and looked forward to it, looking forward to it, looking forward to it being just a rumor and looking forward to the money being recovered, but by the next night, all expectations collapsed.
It was a team of Blade Silver Guards wearing bright silver armor, the direct troops of the Blade Alliance Parliament, the elite among the elites, all the squad leader level and above are all registered heroes, and the Blade Ace Army! And they had only one purpose for coming to Aurora City, that is, to arrest the new city lord Kollev.
The new city lord was taken away, and the martial law in Aurora City immediately disappeared, and people rushed to the streets. Only then could they see the amazing news and inside information reported by the Light of the Holy Church in the past two days.
The lord of Aurora City, Korlev, found a group of professional scammers in his investment plan, was a group of professional scammers. Of course, it was very likely that it was the conspiracy of the Nine Gods. However, there was no evidence. The other party advocated the investment of one billion yuan. Among the first batch of 100 million rioes, only 50 million was true, and the others were stones. The lord also came up with this to raise billions of rioes. Although all of them were not received, plus the money he borrowed from the Blade Alliance Trading Company, there were indeed more than 5 billion yuan.
Dozens of chambers of commerce were stunned. Countless private investors lost all their money. They signed the Golden Bebe Auction House of 1 billion rios and 1.5 billion jinbo auction houses, and the land business was naturally furious. They used all their strength to directly sue the Lord of Aurora City to the Blade Alliance Parliament. This not only involves Aurora and surrounding cities, but also involves the sea clan. This is a serious diplomatic incident. More importantly, there may be the Nine Gods' hands in it.
To be honest, the new city lord Kollev was actually quite innocent and had a family background. It was obviously impossible to say that he really colluded with the Nine Gods spies and divided up this huge amount of funds, but stupidity is also an unforgivable sin.
All investors signed the agreement in black and white. With the orcs and sea clans not yet in place, the total investment amount exceeded 5 billion riots. Based on the three-fold liquidated damages, they would have to pay 15 billion! Not to mention that for the sake of just one Kollev, even if the entire Aurora City was filled in, the Blade Alliance would not be able to pay the money.
If such a big thing happens, one always needs to take the blame, so the Blade Parliament concluded the case at an unprecedented speed. When the next day, the ruling of the parliament was already on the light of the church.
‘Korlev colluded with the Nine Gods spies and swallowed up the 5 billion euros he had collected. His crimes were unforgivable. He immediately hanged him, seized all his property and compensated the losses in proportion. At the same time, the Blade Council will send the Silver Guard Cavalry to continue to investigate the whereabouts of the lost money’
This is a damn statement... This statement is just like funny. How much property can a Kollev have? At most, it can be tens of millions of yuan in seizure of his family? Use these tens of millions to compensate for the loss of 5 billion! This is really the style of the Blade Parliament. They will not pay a penny anyway! As for pursuing the stolen money, everyone knows that this is just an excuse, and this is to be denied openly.
All investors are almost crazy, this is a real loss of money!
Aurora City was in chaos. The materials on the beach where the land was enclosed had been emptied by some smart miserables. The city lord's mansion was almost smashed. There were crowds of people outside and countless people blocked the door. The orcs, grandma's. Who doesn't know that orcs are famous for being rich? They are famous for being poor? They even cheated on the orcs' money. Are you still a fucking human being!
The outside of the mansion was excited. If the city guards had not been guarding day and night, they would have been rushed in and plundered the entire city lord's mansion and smashed it into pieces.
This was the explosion news that caused a sensation in the entire league. Even Rose and Mangalam, who were about to start a war in two days, were completely covered by this popularity.
The once dazzling coastal pearl is today the shaky Aurora City. Where will this once prosperous city go in the future?
Nine Gods Capital...
This is a unique elegant garden, located in the center of the city. Although it covers a small area, the environment is quiet and unique. There are flowers, grass, pavilions and ponds in the courtyard. With such elegant scenery arranged in the center of the Nine Gods Imperial Capital, every inch of land is valuable, the identity of the garden owner is obviously either rich or noble. At this moment, the two people sitting in the courtyard pavilion are both rich and noble.
"Borrowing the strength and fighting force, a 4-two-two can make a huge effort! Only 50 million euros can be exchanged for Blade, a coastal town. Aurora City is afraid that it will not be able to turn over within ten years. It's wonderful! It's amazing!" The ninth prince Longjing raised his glass and said with a smile to the man sitting opposite him: "I think that Aurora City has a special geographical location and has always been one of the most important ports for Blade. The fifth brother held Pu Yemi in his hand and cast a big net. He wanted to make a hole in Aurora City, but the Lei family was in charge, but he had never established a merit, but he failed here again and again. But Mr. Canglan was able to reach out to turn over and turn over and make rain. This method really surprised Longjing, lost his reputation, and offended the sea clan. Aurora City is over, Mr. Longjing Jing has a cup!"
The man sitting opposite was the head of the Cang family, one of the ten major families of the Nine Gods, and Grand Duke Canglan.
He was in his prime, and he was wearing white clothes, with a snowy face, a feathered fan and a feathered scarf, but he didn't look too pedantic and scholarly, but he gave people a sense of planning. He picked up the wine glass and smiled and said, "Your Highness is too rewarding. This matter is actually planned by the little girl. I also have the attitude of letting her try it. I succeeded by luck. I can only say that the stupidity of the Blade Parliament is still unbelievable."
"Oh?" The ninth prince Longjing smiled and said with a smile: "That would be even more big. It seems that Longcheng and his party will still make sister Cangjue gain a lot. If there is a difference between the Blade Parliament and the Holy Church, it is undoubtedly what we want to see the most. This is a beautiful move, at least the forces of Aurora City, the Holy Church and the Council cannot live in peace."
"Your Highness is a rude man. This child is very cold and arrogant, but he cannot say such a comment." Grand Duke Canglan smiled and said, "I originally only spent 50 million to ask her to try it. I can see the world and finally succeed in one fell swoop. This is also a coincidence factor."
"Sister Cangjue has been meticulous and thorough in his childhood. It is obviously not a coincidence that this great contribution was made." Longjing laughed: "It's just that I don't know anything, I want to ask for advice."
"My Highness, please ask."
"It is easier to draw big cakes and half-true funds." Longjing raised his wine glass and said meaningfully: "But how did you transfer the 5 billion Yinlio from those warehouses without hesitation? As far as I know, although the stupid city lord handed over the supervision of the warehouse to the Chamber of Commerce, there were city guards close to the warehouse, only allowed to enter but not exit, let alone transporting out such a large number of Yinlio."
"Publicly guard the silver warehouse and build the land warehouse in secret." Grand Duke Canglan smiled and said, "The locations of those warehouses were chosen by the little girl. They are close to the coast. The soil underground is relatively soft and easy to dig for authentic tunnels. The new city lord is beyond his imagination and is lustful and does not trust anyone. Although there are a large number of guards nearby, they are not allowed to get close to the warehouse. Also, he has a hobby and often takes women to do whatever he wants in the money."
Longjing didn't care about this and pondered: "Although the warehouse is close to the coast, it is still two or three miles away. I have to dig an authentic tunnel from the warehouse. Such a large project cannot be without any movement. Where can the dug out sand, gravel and soil accumulate? How can it be hidden from the surrounding guards?"
Grand Duke Canglan laughed and said, "We chose all the experts, and we didn't dig it out directly from the warehouse, but from the outside..."
"external?"
"Your Highness has no idea. On the day the Chamber of Commerce entered the warehouse, the coast of Aurora City had been enclosed as a requisition land for establishing a trading market. A cordon was set up and others were forbidden to approach. Many engineering vehicles and materials were piled up there, and foundation laying work was carried out at the same time. When construction was made there, no one would doubt it even if there was a lot of mud and sand dug out." Grand Duke Canglan said.
Longjing suddenly realized, but there was still something curious. He asked with a smile: "Stealing dragons and turning phoenixes is indeed a clever plan! But 5 billion riots is not a small amount of money, Cangjue can take it away? As far as I know, on the night when the money was lost, Aurora City had sent a message to the surrounding seas and land passes, indicating that it is impossible to cross the surrounding sea or land passes. The inspection efforts are absolutely unprecedented. Whether it is by sea or by land, I am afraid that this money can't be brought out, right?"
"Don't bring it out." Grand Duke Canglan smiled and said, "Just hide it."
"Hide? But as far as I know, Aurora City has already dug three feet of ground at this moment, where can it be hidden?"
"Just about to report that the Cang family is willing to offer a great gift to His Highness Ninth."
Ryokin narrowed his eyes slightly, and he turned the wine glass in his hand with interest: "How to offer it?"
"Aurora City faces the sea. What is more hidden in this world than depositing the seabed?" Grand Duke Canglan smiled slightly and took out a chart from his arms. On it, it was located near the coast of Aurora City. There was a red circle sign: "All Yinlio moved on the night of the transport ship, including all the entourages on the ship... The person who was doing the work was my direct descendant of the Cang family. This matter is known to heaven and earth, and there is no trace. Five billion Yinlio is now lying in the seabed. It may not be salvaged in a short time, but Your Highness has to have a chamber of commerce and sea boats all over the world. After three or five years, the wind will pass, so you can try to disguise yourself and fish it out!"
Grand Duke Canglan said, holding the chart in both hands and handed it to Longjing respectfully.,
Longjing smiled slightly, and the wine glass in his hand turned evenly, but he did not take the chart. Instead, he looked at Grand Duke Canglan with a deep meaning and said slowly: "Mr. Canglan, this is 5 billion..."
"I wish to offer it all to Your Highness Ninth!" Grand Duke Canglan bent over slightly, without looking up, and without hesitation at all.
"I will not receive any reward without merit." Longjing took a sip of the wine in the glass: "What's more, the Cang family and the prince have always had good friends. According to common sense, Mr. Canglan should offer this picture to my elder brother."
"Your Highness Nine is in charge of my Nine Gods Chamber of Commerce. This money will only be used for greater purposes only when it reaches Your Highness Nine."
"Haha, Longjing never believes in the good thing about the pie falling from the sky." Longjing put down his wine glass and said lightly: "Mr. Canglan may as well say something."
Chapter completed!
