"No man can be without mistakes.

The construction of Blood Moon County City has been completed for hundreds of years, and the secret mining of Magic Crystal Mine has probably begun a long time ago, and you can't blame it all.

There has been no news leaking for so many years, which is enough to prove that you are still very sensible and have not carried out large-scale mining.

Viscount Otum, don't say we won't give you a chance.

Now let’s explain the matter clearly, we can handle it internally in the province and there is room for negotiation.

When things have come to this point, don’t expect to continue hiding them. The vision that broke out just now can be seen within dozens of miles. I guess the news has been spread long ago.

Once the king sends people to intervene, not only will you die, but your family will also have to be done.

For the sake of our colleagues, as long as you explain the matter clearly, we will help you think of a solution together!"

Obviously, Hudson's words were not only for Viscount Otum, but also for the nobles present.

If the crime is not a crime, it is just a small problem. The key is how to deal with the interests of the Magic Crystal Mine.

It is impossible to keep confidential. There are strange phenomena in dozens of miles. There are more than tens of thousands of people who see them. Even if everyone issues a ban order at the first time, it can only delay the time of leaking the news.

Even if ordinary people are ignorant and so many nobles in the southeastern province, it is impossible without the king's eyeliner.

In front of everyone, no one dares to pass on the news for the time being, but everyone cannot stay together forever. Once the team disbands, the news will definitely reach the capital.

What is exposed now is that Viscount Otum is mining the magic crystal mine in his private place, but he does not mean that he is the only one involved. At least in the eyes of the king, he would not believe that such a big deal could be done by a middle-class nobleman alone.

Once you investigate in depth, it is either shit or shit, and the matter is simply not clear.

Especially the leaders of Viscount Otum, if they say they don’t know, no one will believe it.

It's okay to have a new noble like the Koslow family. The Dalton family must not explain it clearly, and the king will definitely suspect that they are involved.

For no other reason, after mined the magic crystal mine for so many years, logic is that the Viscount Otum family, which has gained a lot of wealth, should have risen long ago, but they still live among the middle aristocrats.

Judging from the strength shown on the surface, they have not only not risen in the past 100 years, but have declined a little.

Except for the more magic crystal cannons added to Blood Moon County, Hudson did not notice that there was any difference between them and ordinary middle-class nobles.

"Earl Hudson, thank you for your understanding!

This matter is a long story, so I will briefly introduce it. The matter of Magic Crystal Mine can be traced back to three hundred years ago.

In a battle to encircle the Blood Moon Sect, the ancestors discovered this magic crystal mine and found ways to operate it and take root here.

I originally thought that this was just a micro vein that could make a move. I didn’t expect that the more I mined, the higher the production capacity of the vein, and the quality of the magic crystal produced was also increasing.

Realizing that things are not good, we are already in a difficult situation, so we can only continue with our teeth.

After the efforts of our ancestors of all generations, we finally came up with a way to build a city on the ore veins to cover up the existence of the magic crystal mine.

At the beginning, it was fine, but with the wealth of the Magic Crystal Mine, the family's strength increased sharply. However, this kind of good thing took a sharp turn for the third year of the city's construction.

As if they were cursed, the older tribe members had accidents one after another. Especially in the past eighty years, not many of our family have been able to survive beyond 60 years old, and not many of them can survive until they are fifty years old.

Even if he practiced the Earth Knight and the Magician, he had also walked through the hurdle of 60 years old. Either an accident occurred outside or suddenly died suddenly, and there was no trace of it.

Not only does life span shorten, but even the younger generation is prone to premature death. Including the children of the sidelines, the number of family members has dropped sharply from more than 800 at their peak to more than 100 now.

I have only a lot of wealth, but I suffer from the life span. The sharp decline in population has limited our development. Family strength has not increased but decreased over the years.

In order to find a solution, we also asked many people to help, but unfortunately no one can see the problem.

Even the tribesmen born in other places have never returned to their territory and cannot escape the curse of life span.

After years of investigation, we also suspected that we had joined the Magic Crystal Mine. For the future of the family, we have stopped mining in the past decade.

Anyway, the news has been leaked now. If you want this magic crystal mine, we can give up the mine veins for free!”

Viscount Otum said with a sincere face.

The expression seemed to be like this magic crystal mine was a beast, and I wish I could throw it out immediately.

The truth is unknown for the time being, but the family of Viscount Otum, who has obtained a lot of wealth, has indeed explained that it has not increased but decreased instead of increasing strength.

In the extraordinary world, old antiques represent the background. A strong man who could have lived for one or two hundred years can't even survive the age of sixty.

The hope of birth of the strong is almost shattered, but the number of clan members has also dropped sharply. The double unfavorable factors are superimposed, so there will be problems if the family can prosper.

With this little episode, everyone's originally angry eyes disappeared, but instead hesitated.

If there is really a curse in the Magic Crystal Mine, it is a hot potato. Although wealth is precious, life is more important.

"snort!"

"Vissue Otum, I hope you are all true. We need to investigate further. If you deceive something, just wipe your neck yourself!"

Governor Pierce said coldly.

Everyone is a veteran in politics, and making up stories is a way to make up. In order to survive, there is nothing they can't do.

"It is better to choose a day than to hit the day. The masters in the province are almost all here now. Even the idle curse cannot do anything to us. Why not go to the Magic Crystal Mine to check it out and confirm the authenticity."

Hudson suggested.

After gaining a large amount of knowledge inheritance, he was no longer so afraid of the legendary "curse". The kind of killing people thousands of miles away is just a legend after all.

The real curse still has trigger conditions and has to bear the corresponding backlash, which is more like an equivalent exchange of powers.

If you want to curse and kill so many nobles in the southeastern province, you may gather people who are proficient in cursing techniques on the whole continent, and they do not have the ability to do so.

The curse placed on the magic crystal mine a hundred years ago, or even hundreds of years ago, is greatly reduced even after years of hardship.

What's more, Viscount Otum's family has already carried the thunder, so maybe the power of the curse has been exhausted. Even if it is not over yet, Hudson is confident that he can curse without touching himself.

"Vissue Otum, how did the curse be triggered?

Will anyone who has entered the mine veins be caught, or will those who live in Blood Moon County be in trouble?

As far as I know, in recent decades, not only did the people in your family survive not until they were 60 years old, but the number of elderly people in Blood Moon County was also very small, and they were basically outsiders."

Governor Pierce asked with concern.

It’s not okay to be cautious. Hudson has two powerful men from the Holy Realm, one dragon and one bear, and even if the strongest curse warlock in the continent takes action, he will never escape the fate of being backfired, so he naturally doesn’t care.

He, the governor, does not have such a thick shield. If he encounters a powerful curse, he will still be hit when it is time to get hit.

Even if you want to go out and take risks, you must bring the magic props that protect the family from cursing and must not act without permission.

There are hundreds of members of the Dalton family, but only a few direct members can be killed by just one or two. Once they are cursed, they will be finished.

Governor Pierce, who thought he had learned about Hudson's sinister intentions, suddenly became gloomy, and even his interest in the Magic Crystal Mine decreased greatly.

"Don't worry, Governor, the power of curse is not that terrifying. We have done experiments. As long as we have not mined the magic crystal mine, ordinary people will not be affected in the city of Blood Moon.

The small number of elderly people in the city is mainly affected by the miasma emitted by the magic crystal mine. This situation has happened everywhere, and almost all miners have a short lifespan."

It would be fine if Viscount Otum didn't explain, but everyone was even more panicked. Without hesitation, they decided to participate immediately.

No matter what, I can't stay in this Blood Moon County. Even if I go out to live in the open wilderness, I can't live in this ghost place for a long time.

"There are still many aftermath work. Everyone left together, and the follow-up work is not easy to carry out. For the problem with the Magic Crystal Mine, I'll have to trouble Earl Hudson to take people there."

Governor Pierce said with a sincere look on his face.

It's all for more efficient handling of work, and it's definitely not because he's scared. If he had time, he would definitely lead the team to go on a trip.

"Well, then you can divide the labor like this.

Viscount Otum, you are leading the way ahead. Pastor Debon, Magister Yuri, Magister Antal, Knight Cotero... Follow me."

Hudson directly called out.

None of the masters present were missing, including a ninth-level dragon + a ninth-level earth bear + more than twenty seventh-level strong men, and a group of soldiers guarding them.

Judging from the lineup, they can face an evil god head-on. Like the Lord of Skeleton who descended on the Aslant continent, they can send it back.

It is not the useless people of the evil gods, but mainly because of the rules that all non-local creatures have not been able to exert their strongest strength in this world is the holy realm.

You can only exert the power at the holy realm level. With the advantages of your own realm understanding, the combat power of the gods is still far stronger than that of ordinary holy realms.

However, the prerequisite is: after adapting to the rules of the world, when it just arrived, the combat power was just that. If you are not careful, it would be a legend of killing gods.

For the sake of God's destiny, most of the time the gods come out to move incarnate, and few real people come out to cause trouble in person.

The risks are controllable, and Hudson doesn't mind showing a bit of boldness. What's more, it seems that he is presiding over the investigation of the curse, but it also involves the distribution of interests of the Magic Crystal Mine.

According to normal distribution, the Koslow family will at most get half of the Dalton family, and maybe only one-third of the other party.

There is no way. There are 15 counties in the entire southeastern province, and seven of them are from the Dalton family. More than 30% of the land in the province are fiefs of other families.

If you want to quarrel at a provincial meeting, it is 1vs7; if you reason, you can control the decision-making power if you just want a county magistrate.

If there is a political confrontation, there is only one way for Hudson: to expand the problem and take it all to the provincial aristocratic parliament.

Although he is still at a disadvantage, at least when he is scolding, he has a group of little brothers as helpers and will not be at a disadvantage from the beginning.

Occasionally, a proposal has received support from neutral nobles, and it is not that there is no chance of turning the tables. However, this probability is really limited.

For the sake of his reputation, Hudson decisively chose to take advantage of the situation. Every time he spoke, he used the "general trend" to the extreme, which made people unable to refuse.

The proposals passed again and again, which seemed inconspicuous. However, his status in the eyes of everyone was still changing subtly.

It invisibly created a political illusion for everyone: Mr. Hudson has a strong voice in the province, and the two major families jointly hold the highest voice in the southeastern province.
