The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again
Chapter 345: Overwhelming wealth
In Ernst Palace.
"That's actually the case."
Estes let out a long sigh, crossed his fingers, and lowered his head. Even if he tried hard to suppress it, he couldn't stop his body from trembling slightly.
"Your Majesty..." Executive Officer Sitagang spoke with some concern, thinking that he was not feeling well.
Suddenly, the king threw his head back and couldn't help but burst into laughter three times. His hearty laughter shook the palace lanterns above his head.
He said with emotion: "Sita, I have always said that Ernst is a country favored by the God of Law, but I never thought that there really is a 'God of Law'."
Estes now recalled his dealings with Jiang Liujing and Xing Yue, and couldn't help but marvel at his good luck. He discovered the most special existence in the world as soon as he arrived, and became friends with him faster than anyone else.
Now, Jiang Liujing's identity will soon no longer be a secret, and Estes can also foresee how special Ernst, which he regards as his motherland, will become.
For an investor, this can be regarded as an unprecedented and unparalleled success story.
And there are other surprises.
Thinking of another thing Xing Yue mentioned, Estes suppressed his happy expression and calmed down. He calmed his mind and promised Xing Yue: "Regarding the Frost Ink People, I will send someone to investigate this matter immediately."
If the Frost Ink People are truly the key to resolving the disaster, then the infamy and injustice their clan has endured for thousands of years will be completely washed away this time!
For these people who have been expelled, targeted and discriminated against for too long, and even unable to attend a normal magic school, they have waited for this day for too long!
Xing Yue nodded calmly, and after completing the task Jiang Liujing asked him to do, he immediately walked out.
Estes stopped him and suddenly said, "By the way, I want to ask if anyone wants to become king."
Sita suddenly looked up and said in surprise: "Your Majesty?!"
How could Estes ask such a question?
He has been on the throne for more than ten years and is the longest-serving king in Ernst. The people trust him very much.
But the tone of his voice now made Sita suddenly have a suspicious thought - His Majesty, does he want to give up the throne?
The selection of the king of Ernst is based on martial arts. Obviously, Jiang Liujing, who was able to defeat the Pope of the Divine Religion, has already stood at the pinnacle of power on the continent. If he wants to be king, no one can defeat him.
Xing Yue paused, looked back at Estes, and slowly shook his head, "He has never had such a thought."
Xing Yue knew without asking that Jiang Liujing had no interest in being king.
Human power and status were of no use to Jiang Liujing. Furthermore, he was a much higher being than a human king. No matter his status, no one would dare to disrespect him.
Estes nodded slightly, a relieved smile on his face. "That's right. With his personality, he wouldn't care about these things. I was abrupt."
Half a month later, various news spread to the countries and regions that still survived.
Regardless of whether they were enemies or friends before, facing the attack of the Apostles of Disaster, they all stood on the same side.
And in the midst of days of bad news, there suddenly came a piece of good news that overturned everything.
Ernst, the kingdom of God, has discovered for the first time a way to resist the "pollution" of black fog!
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked.
Countries have sent envoys to Ernst, and the once neglected small marginal country has become the hottest place on the continent overnight.
The method Ernst provided was a very special alchemical potion, claiming that as long as it was injected, one could gain "resistance" to the Apostle of Disaster for a period of time.
With "resistance", magicians and warriors from various countries can act normally to dispel the black fog without having to worry about being infected in the middle of the battle and shrinking back.
Ernst did not initially disclose the principles and methods of potion making, but simply sold it to various countries, and the price was naturally very high.
But even if other countries curse Estes as a profiteer and swear in their hearts, they can only be forced to take the money out of their pockets.
——Leaders of various countries can still clearly distinguish between the two choices: the destruction of the country or the destruction of the national treasury.
In fact, they had a secret thought in their hearts - Ernst is such a small country with only a few capable people. What complicated things can they come up with?
As long as they buy a batch of samples and let their country's outstanding alchemists study and replicate them, they will also have the same alchemical potion.
However, this idea was quickly shattered by countless failures suffered by various countries.
All countries have to face a painful fact.
——It seems that this alchemical potion can only be produced by Ernst.
It was as if the gods had protected this country alone and bestowed upon them a gift, and they were completely unable to research the core ingredients of the potion.
"Is this the war money? There's really a lot of it."
In the palace, Jiang Liujing was personally taken by Estes to visit the underground warehouse filled with gold coins. Even he was shocked for a moment when he saw the magnificent room.
He then lowered his head and muttered, "This potion is now a necessity. If I deliberately dilute the concentration, reduce its quality and effectiveness, and force them to buy more, wouldn't it be easy to empty the treasuries of all the countries? If we then attack them, it won't take much effort to unify the continent."
Estes followed him and listened to him speak, his expression gradually changing from an initial respectful smile to confusion and disbelief, and finally to shock and speechlessness.
Estes: oo
When Jiang Liujing looked up and saw his expression, he remembered that there was someone beside him and said "Oh" and warned: "I'm just speculating on this possibility, don't do this."
Estes was silent for a moment and then smiled: "...Of course."
He thought that setting a high price was already inhumane. After all, the cost of the potion was just some common materials that facilitated absorption, and the core blood of the Frost Ink People. It could be said that the cost was less than one percent of the selling price.
Even though Estes had generously given many gold coins to residents who donated blood as rewards, he still made a fortune.
Unexpectedly, the reincarnation of the God of Law had a darker heart than him.
What’s even more terrifying is that Estes actually thinks that the method proposed by Jiang Liujing is feasible.
It only takes one disaster for Ernst's national wealth to grow exponentially.
