While Aarons was still testing other people's reactions, the Chamber of Commerce convoy led by Clary had already driven out of the border territory in a mighty manner.

There weren't many roads in the empire suitable for wheeled vehicles, so the truck underwent a special round of modifications before setting off - not only were most of the alchemical parts replaced, but wheels that were more suitable for off-road were also installed.

Because these things are all made of Warcraft materials, this modification also completely emptied all the stock in Jiangyue's hands.

"But it's worth it. After all, this fleet is our mobile base, so of course the more durable it is, the better."

Alchemical materials are not suitable for use in magical environments and are easily disintegrated when attacked by fighting spirit or magic.

However, due to its light weight and low cost, it is actually used a lot in large-scale transportation vehicles such as airships that require strict control of tonnage.

In order to prevent the magic power generated by the magic source furnace from destroying the structure of the airship, all energy transmission pipelines need to use special anti-magic materials...so this makes up for the original cost savings.

"It's because the airship is so expensive that I said Duke Booker would never be able to swallow this."

"So you don't sail your own ship over there because you're worried about being attacked by the enemy?"

"If I drive the Yumenhua over there, the enemy will shoot it down with their array artillery the next day."

Klia drove a convertible SUV at the front of the convoy, and Karin was the only one in her car - after all, Spider Sakura's weight was too outrageous.

"Even if I 'accidentally' die outside, the royal family can't do anything to the nobles. After all, the lifeblood of the country is in the hands of these people. If they insist on attacking them, it will turn into a civil war."

Because the Kingdom of Cardia in the west and the Kingdom of Dusk in the south have always coveted the territory of the empire, once the empire is in chaos, these countries will immediately invade.

"That's why I want someone like this to go there. This way, the other party will not only be wary of whether I have a backup plan, but it will also be difficult for them to stop my actions."

"But since you are going to visit the Duke's house, will they set an ambush for you there?"

"Ahahaha, if they really dare to attack me at home, then I'll have a reason to kill them all."

Although she never showed any dark side in front of Aarons, Karin, who was good at guessing other people's thoughts, knew very well that so many years of resentment had long caused Klia's mental state and thinking patterns to deviate from the normal range.

Perhaps Aarons was the only one in the world who could calm the rage and cruelty in her heart - if anything happened to Aarons, she would probably kill all the people involved without hesitation.

"If they really dare to do that, it will save me a lot of trouble... I really hope that the Duke is an emotional fool."

"This possibility is too small."

Karin knew very well that the reason why Claire went to see Duke Booker alone this time was actually to find an excuse to kill him.

Destroying the economy of the other party's territory is actually a backup option. As long as she can find a suitable reason, Her Royal Highness the Princess will kill without hesitation.

"My plan is actually very simple. If they don't give me a chance to act, we will blow up all their magic source stone mines."

"Your Highness, we'd better bring more things back. After all, if we really go to war with Cardia, we won't be able to import various raw materials from Corinth."

"Well, let's see if there's anything worth taking away in the Dukedom. Anyway, don't worry!"

After Karin thought about it carefully, she realized that this operation did not require much technical skills.

The rest of the people in the Chamber of Commerce were basically members, so it didn't matter if they were attacked by the Duke's family. And the three main people had terrifyingly high combat power, so no one could stop them.

——So when you encounter a problem, just use your strength to crush it.

……

"Oh, is this the Duke's city? It looks quite prosperous."

"Report. According to the pre-loaded map, this is just a village."

"Are all ordinary villages so rich? Hmm... let the convoy stop nearby to rest! The three of us will go in and investigate!"

After driving for most of the day and crossing two territories, the White Wing Chamber of Commerce finally officially entered the Duke's territory.

When she saw the first village, Klia was attracted by the scene there - although it was just a village, it was as prosperous and lively as a small city.

So Klia immediately stopped the convoy, then jumped out of the car with Karin, and followed the landed Spider Sakura towards the village.

——If every place in the Duke of Booker's territory is so rich, then they have to re-evaluate the value of this territory.

"Welcome, ladies, are you travelers from outside? If you are looking for a job, we are recruiting hunters who can hunt magical beasts."

"Warcraft? Could it be that those people over there are all mercenaries?"

After entering the village, Klia immediately saw a large group of people gathered in the square doing something. After asking the man who looked like a villager next to her, she got a somewhat unexpected answer.

"That's right. Recently, the Duke has been buying various magical beast materials at high prices. And there happen to be quite a few magical beasts living in groups near our small village, which is why so many mercenaries have gathered here."

"Buying at a high price? How much higher than the original price?"

"The minimum is double... I heard from the mercenaries that the Duke's people bought these materials and seem to be planning to build something. Even the commissions of the craftsmen have increased a lot. Many blacksmiths in the village have gone to Booker City to try their luck."

The Duke's family is purchasing a large amount of Warcraft materials?

Claire didn't know much about technical matters, but she was keenly aware that there seemed to be something fishy going on.

"Sister Karin, I have an idea."

"Are you planning to steal their business or mess with them?"

"We don't have that many people to do anything too complicated. I plan to quietly track the flow of these materials and see what they are making."

If it can be taken away, then take it; if it cannot be taken away, then destroy it. Since Duke Buck dares to spend money without hesitation, he must be building something special.

As long as he could destroy this plan, he would be able to severely damage the opponent's capital chain and resource reserves.

"If I could snatch something good, I wouldn't have to prepare a dowry."

"Eh? Have you started thinking about getting married?"

"Well, as long as I get rid of this old guy, I will go back and officially marry my husband."

Although Klia unconsciously uttered the forbidden words about raising the flag, Karin didn't think she would be in any danger.

Rather, it is the other party who should be worried.
