Chapter 592: Zavaludo! Time stopped for five seconds
In Count Haussmann's mansion, the servants were consciously staying away from the study, because at this moment, a fierce argument was coming out of the reception area where Count Haussmann was.
"Why are you doing this?!" Count Hausman roared like an enraged lion, "Why did you detain Andel's supplies without informing me?"
Facing the lion-like Count Haussmann, the Acting Consul showed no fear and calmly replied, "A large amount of food, iron, and solid wood. Your Excellency, can't you imagine what these things are used for?"
Food, iron, and wood may not mean much individually, but when these things are sent to Aundair , almost anyone will suspect that war is coming.
"Yes, of course I know. I even sold a portion of those supplies to them at a premium of nearly double."
Count Hausmann nonchalantly spoke out in front of the Acting Consul about the act of aiding the enemy, "I even helped to contact the transport convoy and charged them nearly half of the transportation fee."
Hearing about his superior's act of aiding the enemy, the Acting Consul was stunned for a moment, then said: "Your Excellency, I don't understand..."
"Why is there anything unclear about this?" Count Hausman waved his hand without hiding anything. "The only thing left in Andair is the city in the desert. They can't get out at all. The total population will not exceed 300,000. It is almost impossible for their population to exceed 500,000 within 20 years."
In fact, even if Aundair was given twenty years, the population would hardly reach half a million.
Because Aundair's current grain output cannot support 500,000 people at all. When Aundair needs to import grain to feed its people, how many people Aundair can have depends entirely on Count Hausman's mood.
If he gets unhappy one day, he can just close the gates of Celtic City, and Andair will just starve to death.
Therefore, Count Hausmann's approach is not difficult to understand. He intends to make money from Andair, a country that has no power but is located near the city he controls.
"Your Excellency, I must remind you that this behavior will be considered as aiding the enemy by the Noble Alliance."
"Then do you know how much I made from this business alone?"
Count Hausmann said a number, a number that made even the calm acting consul widen his eyes. It was almost a quarter's tax revenue of Celtic City.
"Aundair is rich. Very rich. Her Majesty the Queen hooked up with a dragon, and the dragon even contributed his own treasure trove as funds to keep Aundair running."
Count Hausman stroked his stubble. "It's a pity that I don't have any female offspring, otherwise I would have sent them over to exchange for the dragon's treasure. Damn it, that's the dragon's wealth. Is that dragon count crazy? He actually gave it to a poor queen. Aren't they used to directly capture the princess in the castle?"
Mo Cheng's identity as a dragon is not a secret at all among Minanka. It can even be said that one of the reasons why Minanka has not directly launched an attack on Andair until now is the existence of Mo Cheng.
Especially recently, Andel, which should have been on track for financial collapse, suddenly had its capital chain improve, and even went on a large-scale acquisition as if it had no shortage of money, which made people even more suspicious about where Andel's funds came from.
Others may not know, but how could Minanka's people not understand that the Central Palace of Aundair was still in the sky and had not landed, and there was absolutely no possibility of transporting the royal treasury inside.
Originally, the people of Minanka were still wondering whether it was Aundair's secret treasure house somewhere else, but they soon got the answer. The last dragon, Lord Mo Cheng, the hereditary Earl of Aundair, took out all the gold in his dragon treasury.
As soon as the people of Minanka learned 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 humans to use.
Do you want to see what you are talking about?
But after a detailed investigation afterwards, Minanka's people confirmed with a look of shattered worldview that this was true.
God knows why, even in fairy tales, there are dragons who would do anything for treasure, but when it came to this last dragon, he opened his treasure house and contributed the wealth inside for free.
After this incident came out, many scholars discussed whether it was because dragons were not naturally fond of treasure, or whether the last dragon was a special case.
"When Earl Mo Cheng was in Fairhaven, he had a good relationship with Princess Mishas. To do this..." The Acting Archon wanted to say that this was not surprising, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. "Okay, I admit that this matter is completely beyond my understanding. But Your Excellency, what should we do next?"
"You didn't ask me when you seized the goods, but now you want to ask me what to do? Andel still has the balance to pay."
Count Hausman was very angry. He didn't know whether he was angry at the unauthorized actions of others or at the fact that he had not received the final payment. "From now on, all goods passing through the city will be strictly inspected. Since they have been seized, I don't want to see ."
"Where are Aundair's supplies?"
"You are the ones who seized the things. You ask me..." Count Haussmann suddenly realized that this was not the voice of the Acting Consul, and immediately became alert, "Who!"
The acting consul decisively attacked towards the place where the sound came from, but it was too late.
"Zha Waludo!"
The person who came crossed his arms and uttered words that sounded like a spell, and time stopped.
Count Haussmann's mansion was covered by a purple cover, but this was from Mo Cheng's perspective. If it were from the outside world or other people, no abnormality would be noticed.
He had five seconds. For Mo Cheng, five seconds of violent output was enough to blow any enemy below the level of [Demigod] into pieces.
But he didn't do that, because this time the mission was to cause chaos in Celtic City.
Therefore, it is impossible to let these two people die obviously from assassination by outsiders.
In five seconds, Mo Cheng only did one thing. He pulled out the swords worn by Count Haussmann and the Acting Consul, and then asked the two to hold the sword in their right hands.
He even checked specifically to make sure both parties were right-handed.
Then, he asked the two people standing opposite each other to hold the sword in their right hand and press it against the other's chest. Then Mo Cheng pushed them even more, allowing both of them to pierce each other's heart.
When the work was done, five seconds had arrived exactly, and at the same time as the [Time Barrier] was lifted, Mo Cheng activated [Anti-Time Wandering] and left Count Hausman's mansion.
