Defending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 374: Missing

In just a few days of fermentation, the scale of Aurora City’s investment promotion has become larger and larger. In addition to the merchants of Aurora City, many chambers of commerce and private owners have come to invest in the coastal areas, even if they exclude the orcs and sea people. The amount of future investment agreed in the contract, just the cash collected, has exceeded the value of 5 billion euros.

Everyone is optimistic about the prospects of Aurora City as never before. This is about to take off. I have to say that this new city organizes events vigorously. A large number of engineering vehicles and construction materials have been pulled onto the beach in batches, piled into mountains, and constructed. Just around the corner.

A large number of reports on the Temple of Light, the local enthusiasm in Aurora City, land prices soaring, 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 Rose’s challenge to the Eight Great Churches, few people in Aurora City care about it.

The New City Lord no longer publishes his remarks about'Aurora City can only have one temple', and apparently has devoted all of his energy to the paving of the trading market. The City Lord’s Mansion is full of traffic, welcoming and sending each other every day. When a major event was completed, the Lei family became insignificant in Aurora City. At that time, they could pinch as they wish.

However, to the outside world, the enthusiasm of the Eight Great Churches in agreeing to the Rose challenge has not diminished at all, but now that they have agreed to the challenge, things have become much easier.

The light of the temple is no longer filled with all kinds of voices that slander the rose temple. What is left is the opinions of all parties on the outcome of this challenge, and the result is surprisingly consistent.

No one is discussing whether the ultimate challenge of Roses can be successful. It is simply a big joke to even pick the eight temples. The person who will discuss this issue seriously is a fool in everyone's eyes. Everyone is discussing it at this time. , Is the first battle between Rose and Mangalam, is there any possibility of victory?

Frankly speaking, at the beginning, some people were optimistic about Rose. After all, Mangalam had shown a lot of hesitation during the previous battle, and I heard that the five disciples that Mangalam sent to Dragon City this time have all been killed. Of course And the most important point is that the Lao Wang team with Li Wenni, Keira and Marpel is not an absolute weak in everyone's eyes.

Li Wenni is undoubtedly the number one player in the Lao Wang team. She was also able to rank in the top 100 in the Dragon City 500, but Marpel and Keola felt like they were at the same level. With a ranking of about 100, this level can still be called a master within the scope of the temple. A top master with two excellent disciples of a good level, the loss of Mangalam is actually quite dangerous.

This allowed the peripheral bets to have reached the level where Rose and Mangalam were almost equal, but as Mangalam's various inside stories were constantly revealed, the proportion of wins and losses began to tilt continuously.

Inside story one, the true master of Mangaram has not been lost in Dragon City... The five people sent to Dragon City are not the absolute top combat power of Mangaram. In fact, for a ranked 69th Saint For Tang, this is a very clever and very common practice.

After all, Dragon City is a very dangerous place. For top churches like the Zenith Temple, Ye Dun was sent to compete for opportunities; while for the bottom churches like Rose, they came out to preserve a trace of face. ; But a middle-ranked church like Mangalam is really unnecessary.

Even if the top masters go there, they can’t compete with Ye Dun. If one is accidentally damaged, the strength of the temple will definitely drop significantly. It’s better to send some upper-level disciples to try first, after all, the temple is allocated It is impossible to ignore the number of places that come down. These disciples are not weak. If they succeed, it will be an unexpected gain. If they are really broken, they will not hurt Mangalam. They hide the true top power and wait until Dragon City. After such a great training, looking for opportunities to challenge other temples to pick up their advantages, maybe it can make Mangaram's ranking rise a few more places, why not?

This is obviously Mangalam's dark game, 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 they don't want to expose themselves in advance because of the useless challenge of Rose. That is tantamount to helping others. ! Now that the situation has been exposed, it has simply opened up. The general trend of public opinion is on their side, so I don't worry about it. After all, everyone has long prepared a sufficient reason.

Inside story two, this time in the top 500 Dragon City, ranked 67th, and the Thunder Witch, Wuli, who came back alive from the trip to the Dragon City, announced his transfer to Mangalam Church!

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar from the outside world. Wuli was a member of the Kasi Temple, one city away from Mangalam. The transfer must be made on an ad hoc basis. After all, Mangalam is not known as a wizard, certainly not. Transferred here for school. Dragon City ranked sixty-seventh, which was already comparable to Winnie, but at the same time, Wuli also had a nickname, known as the Soul Beast Master Killer! She is good at lightning witchcraft, she can play most clumsy spirit beasts between her palms by speed alone, especially like Winnie's Demon Bear!

Undoubtedly, this clearly shows that it was transferred to the hospital for the challenge against Rose, or to put it more bluntly, this is for Li Wenni, the number one master of Rose!

To tell the truth, I have decided to challenge and add people temporarily. This is obviously a bit unruly, but for Mangalam, ranked 69th, the pride of chivalry is far less important than the real victory or defeat, instead of saving face for Rose. For the next opportunity, it is better to kill him completely with a black face! Besides, Rose can temporarily let the adjudicated Marpel join in, so why can't Mangaram be transferred to Wuli? This is an absolutely fair condition, no one can pick a thorn!

Behind this is obviously the meaning of some big people, to completely kill Rose's hope in this first level! And as long as Li Wenni is eliminated, Mangalam, who retains his strength at the level of other people in Rose, can definitely achieve a victory as long as he arranges his troops for a while!

This is not a chance! After various show operations and insider exposure, the peripheral markets are rapidly adjusting the odds. Rose’s odds are almost one to three, and the light of the temple has begun to fight Rose’s first battle. Seen as the ultimate battle...

The disciples of the Rose Temple were very worried about this, but the Pharaoh Team itself, including the high-level leaders such as Headmaster Hawkland, seemed relaxed and didn't seem to care.

The work of the job, the promotion of oneself, the promotion of oneself, everything is step by step, orderly, just quietly waiting for that day to come.

The only busier is Pharaoh.

I run at the foundry workshop and the potion workshop every night. During the day, except in the morning, I just find a place to squint for a while, maybe a dormitory, or a recliner outside the training room, and then disappear in the afternoon, becoming a god. It's mysterious, even Winnie and the others don't know where he is going.

Time is approaching day by day, everyone in Rose is counting down the date of the challenge, half a month, ten days, five days, three days...

As the days approached, the people of Aurora City, who had been drew attention from the trading market before, finally paid a little attention to Rose, but at this time, a shocking event broke out.

That was after about eight o'clock in the evening of the first day, the entire Aurora City was suddenly under martial law and a curfew was imposed. The guards, pro-military soldiers, and even Marine fighters and orc thugs who did not have law enforcement rights flooded the streets. All the traffic in the entire Aurora City was directly blocked, not to mention going out of the city, even mosquitoes and rats were not allowed to appear on the street.

Then came the rude inquiries from house to house. They held the manuscript from the city lord and did not dig through boxes or cabinets. They only checked large rooms or searched for various basements. They were going through the entire Aurora City almost inch by inch, without knowing what it was. What is looking for.

The Aurora City was brightly lit all night, and the huge search operation lasted all night, just when everyone was wondering and thought that with the sunrise, it would all end.

The ban and search continue, and everyone is still not allowed to leave their homes or rooms. This time, the intensity of the search is obviously more thorough than the search last night. All the bottoms and dark holes in the city are all fluffy and overturned. The land of traces! The orcs and guards with shovel all rolled up their sleeves, it was really digging three feet!

People's curiosity is getting better, and the city's nervousness is also rapidly rising. Rumors have begun to spread in the city. This time, the City Lord's Mansion collected money for investment in the trading market and lost it!

Five billion, that's five billion leo! Boxes of Jin Leo flew out of thin air, leaving no traces! This……

The entire Aurora City is dumbfounded. Everyone is counting on the money to develop Aurora City, so that everyone can become rich from a well-off society, but now, it is gone? !

The people were anxious, worried, and looking forward to it, expecting that this was just a rumor and expecting the money to be recovered, but by the next night, all expectations collapsed.

It was a team of blade silver guards wearing bright silver armors. They belonged to the direct line of the Blade Alliance Council. The elite of the elite, all team leaders above the level were all registered heroes, and the ace of the blade! And they came to Aurora City for only one purpose, and that was to arrest the new City Lord Korlev.

The New City Lord was taken away, and the martial law in Aurora City was immediately dissipated. People flocked to the streets. Only then was it possible to see the amazing news and inside stories reported by the Light of the Temple in the past two days.

Korlev, the lord of the Aurora City, the business group he sought out in his investment promotion plan is a group of professional crooks. Of course, it is also very likely to be the conspiracy of the nine gods. However, there is no evidence. The other party advocates investing one billion yuan. Of the billion Leo, only 50 million is real, the others are stones, and the city owner also came up to raise billions of Leo, although not all of them have been received, plus he himself borrowed from the Blade Alliance business The money is indeed more than five billion.

Dozens of chambers of commerce were dumbfounded, and countless private investors lost their money. They signed the 1 billion Leo and 1.5 billion Jin Beibei Auction House and Lu Xing Commercial Bank. Naturally, they used all their power to directly control the Aurora City Lord’s Mansion. Sue the Blade Alliance Council, which not only involves the Aurora and surrounding cities, but also involves the Sea Clan. This is a serious diplomatic incident. More importantly, there may be the hands and tails of the nine gods.

To tell the truth, the new city lord Korlev was actually quite innocent by birth, and his family origins. It is obviously impossible to say that he really colluded with the nine gods spies and divided up this huge sum of funds, but stupidity is also an unforgivable sin.

All the investors signed the agreement in black and white, plus the funds that the Orcs and Sea Clan have not yet arrived, the total investment exceeds 5 billion Leo. If calculated on the basis of three times the liquidated damages, it would have to pay 15 billion. ! Not to mention that for the sake of a mere Korlev, even if the entire Aurora City is filled, the Blade Alliance will not be able to lose the money.

There is always something to be done with such a big thing, so the Blade Council closed the case at an unprecedented speed. When the arrests came the next day, there was already a council in the light of the temple. The result of the ruling.

'Korlev colluded with the nine gods spies and dumped the 5 billion euros collected. He was inexcusable. He was immediately hanged, seized all the family property, and compensated for the loss proportionally. At the same time, the Blade Council will send silver guards to continue the investigation. The whereabouts of lost money'

This Nima...This statement is just like funny, how many properties can one Korlev have? How many tens of millions of his family can be seized? Use these tens of millions to compensate for 5 billion losses! This is really the style of the Blade Council, anyway they won't pay a penny! As for tracing the stolen money, everyone knows that this is just an excuse.

All investors are almost crazy, this is the real loss of money!

Aurora City fell into chaos. The materials on the beaches of the enclosure had already been emptied by some clever suffering masters, and the city master’s mansion was almost smashed. There were crowds of people outside and the door was blocked by countless people. The lead was the orcs and grandma. , Who doesn't know that the orcs are famous for being a mess? Notoriously poor? Even cheated the orcs' money, are you the **** human!

The sentiments outside the palace gate were enthusiastic, if it weren't for the city guards to guard it day and night, I'm afraid someone would have already rushed in and searched the entire city lord's palace, and by the way, it was smashed.

This is a sensational explosion of the entire alliance, and even Rose and Mangalam, who are about to go to war in two days, are completely covered by this heat.

The once dazzling coastal pearl, today is the crumbling Aurora City, where will this once prosperous city go in the future?

Nine Gods Imperial Capital...

This is a chic elegant garden, located in the center of the city. Although it occupies a small area, it has a quiet and unique environment. There are flowers, grass, pavilions and pools in the small courtyard, and it is in the center of the nine gods and the capital With such an elegant location, the owner's identity is obviously rich or noble, but at this moment, the two people sitting in this small courtyard pavilion are both rich and noble.

"Take advantage of your strength, four or two! A mere 50 million euros can be exchanged for a coastal town on the edge of the knife. This time, Aurora City will not even think about turning over for ten years. Wonderful! Wonderful!" The Ninth Prince Longjing toasted. The person sitting opposite said with a smile: "Thinking that Aurora City has a special geographical location, it has always been one of the most important ports for the blade. The fifth brother held Kamano in his hand and cast a big net. He originally wanted to give Aurora City A hole was gnawed, but the Lei family had never established an inch of merit. Instead, he repeatedly broke the halberd here, but Mr. Canglan was able to reach there to turn his hand over for the cloud and cover his hand for the rain. This method is really letting Long Jing was amazed, lost his goodwill, and offended the Sea Clan. The Aurora City is over, Mr. Long Jingjing has a glass!"

The man sitting opposite is the Cang Family Patriarch, Grand Duke Canglan, one of the ten great families of the Nine Gods.

He is in the prime of life. At this time, wearing white clothes, Shengxue, his face is like a crown of jade and a feather fan, but he does not seem to be too pedantic and bookish, but it gives people a sense of strategizing. He picked up his wine glass and smiled: "Your Highness Too much. This matter was actually planned by the little girl. I also had the attitude of letting her try. I was lucky enough. I can only say that the stupidity of the Blade Council is still unbelievable."

"Oh?" The Ninth Prince Longjing was slightly surprised, and said with a smile: "That's even more generous. It seems that Longcheng and his party can still make Sister Cangjue a good harvest. If there is a relationship between the Blade Council and the temple Disagreement is undoubtedly what we want to see most. This hand is beautiful, at least the forces of Aurora City, the temple and the council can't get along with each other in peace."

"His Royal Highness is absurd. This child is very cold and arrogant, but he shouldn't be so judged." Duke Canglan smiled and said: "I originally only spent 50 million to let her try and meet the world, and finally succeeded. This is inevitably a coincidence factor in it."

"Sister Cangjue has been thoughtful and thorough since she was a child. It is obviously not accidental that she made this great achievement this time." Long Jing laughed: "It's just that I don't know something and want to ask for advice."

"Your Highness, please."

“It’s easier to draw big pie and half-truth funds.” Long Jing said meaningfully, holding up his wine glass, “but, how did you transfer the five billion silver rios in those warehouses quietly? Lost? As far as I know, although the stupid city lord handed over the supervision of the warehouse to the Chamber of Commerce, there was a city guard near the warehouse that was tightly guarded, only allowing entry and no exit, let alone transporting such a large amount of Yin Leo. Up."

"It guards the silver warehouses and builds underground warehouses in secret." Duke Canglan smiled: "The locations of those warehouses were chosen by the little girl. They are close to the coast and the underground soil is relatively soft. It is very easy to dig tunnels. He is greedy and lustful, and he doesn't trust anyone. Although there are a large number of guards nearby, he is not allowed to approach the warehouse. Also, he has a hobby and often leads women to mess around with money."

Long Jing didn’t pay much attention to this, and said in deep thought, “Although the warehouse is close to the coast, it is still two or three miles away. It is impossible to dig a tunnel out of the warehouse. It is impossible for such a large project to be quiet, and the sand dug out Where can the stone and mud accumulate? How can it be hidden from the surrounding guards?"

Grand Duke Canglan laughed and said: "We chose all masters, and they did not dig directly from the inside of the warehouse, but dig in from the outside..."

"external?"

"His Royal Highness does not know that on the day the Chamber of Commerce settled in the warehouse, the coast of Aurora City was already used as a land for expropriation for the establishment of a trading market. A warning line was set up to prohibit others from approaching. There were many construction vehicles and materials piled up there, and there were also attacks. The foundation work is being carried out at the same time, and the construction of holes is carried out there. No matter how much mud and sand are dug out, no one will doubt it at all." Grand Duke Canglan said.

Long Jing was stunned, but he was still curious about something. He smiled and asked, "Stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix is ​​indeed a clever plan! But 5 billion lio is not a small sum, can Cang Jue take it away? It is known that on the night that the money was lost, Aurora City had sent a letter from the magic pigeon, indicating that the surrounding sea areas and various land passes, and now the southeast area of ​​the blade, whether it is sea or land, it is difficult for birds to cross, the intensity of interrogation is absolutely unprecedented. Is it by sea or land? I'm afraid I won't be able to bring this money out?"

"You don't need to bring it out." Duke Canglan smiled and said: "Just hide it."

"Hidden? But as far as I know, Aurora City has already dug three feet at this moment, where can it be hidden?"

"Just about to report, the Cang family is willing to present a big gift to His Highness Nine."

Long Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned the wine glass in his hand with interest: "How to offer?"

"Aurora City faces the sea. In this world, is there anything more concealed than the sedimentary seabed?" Grand Duke Canglan smiled slightly, and took out a sea chart from his arms. There was one on it near the coast of Aurora City. The red circle indicates: "On the night of the transfer of all Yin Leo, it had already sunk to the bottom of the sea with the ship, including all the entourages on the ship... It was the direct descendants of my Cang family who worked on this matter. Traces, five billion silver rios are now lying on the seabed. It may not be able to be salvaged in a short time, but the ships of the Chamber of Commerce of His Royal Highness are all over the world. Waiting for the wind to pass three or five years later~lightnovelpub.net~ Send someone to pretend to go fishing!"

Grand Duke Canglan said, holding the chart in both hands, and respectfully handed it to Long Jing. ,,

Long Jing smiled slightly, the wine glass in his hand turned more symmetrical, but instead of picking up the chart, he looked at Duke Canglan with deep meaning, and slowly said, "Mr. Canglan, this is five billion..."

"I would like to dedicate all of it to His Highness the Nine!" Grand Duke Canglan bends slightly, does not look up, and speaks without hesitation.

"There is no reward for no merit." Long Jing took a faint sip of the wine: "What's more, the Cang family and the prince have always had a good relationship. According to common sense, Mr. Canglan should dedicate this picture to my elder brother."

"His Royal Highness Nine is in charge of my Nine Gods Chamber of Commerce, and this money will only be used for greater purposes when it reaches the hands of His Royal Highness."

"Hehe, Long Jing never believes in the good things of pie falling in the sky." Long Jing put down the wine glass and said lightly: "Mr. Canglan has something to say."
