"Karlis, what did you do? Didn't you agree to act secretly and avoid causing trouble?

Now the nobles of the entire Qiaomu County are in motion, and maybe it won’t be long before this area expands to the southeastern provinces.”

The masked man asked angrily.

Killing a little knight is nothing, and dozens of soldiers are negligible. But it should never be, absolutely shouldn't be, just shouldn't be exposed.

Kallis's identity has not been revealed, but he, the boss, has taken the blame. As a result, the Skeleton Lord is afraid to show his face now, for fear of being caught by the nobles who are surrounded by grass and trees.

"Holy Lord, I don't want to be exposed! But that guy has met me before and questioned me as soon as he came up.

My temporary identity couldn't stand the sales pitch at all, and I was able to get away with it in just a few words. The guy directly ordered someone to be arrested, so I had to resist!"

Kallis said with a depressed look.

It's a bad year, and nothing goes smoothly.

I originally thought that the masked man had the support of a bunch of big nobles. After joining, he could avoid the pursuit of the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom.

Facts have proved that he was overthinking everything. Putting on the mask did open up a new life - the life of hiding in Dongzhu.

As long as your identity is not exposed, you will not be hunted by the Alpha Kingdom. But once your identity is exposed, you will be in this situation.

The so-called support from the great nobles is just nonsense. Although their current cause is sacred, based on the bad things they did before, who would believe that they are rebelling against the Holy See before they achieve some results?

The awesome "Skeleton Lord" is actually no different from him. They are both the most wanted criminals in the Alpha Kingdom.

Frankly speaking, Carlisle's makeup skills are not bad. Unfortunately, Florian Knight is a former member of the Fifth Army and has witnessed him showing off with his own eyes.

Although he was not recognized at a glance, he was already suspicious. It was unfortunate that Florian mistook him for some unscrupulous thief, otherwise he would not have foolishly given the order to arrest him.

He was not caught, but unfortunately he lost his life in vain. If other noble groups had not appeared and scared Kallis away, he might not have even had the chance to leave his last words.

"Well, it seems that you and the Blood Moon Horn are incompatible. Since you have disturbed the nobles in the southeastern province and are pursuing the Blood Moon Horn, let's stop for now!

You should not go out for activities in the recent days. It is best to leave the southeastern province for a while and come back after the weather calms down."

The masked man said helplessly.

Originally, he had high hopes for Carlisle, but now it has been proven that ability and success are completely different concepts. As long as you are unlucky, you will not be able to achieve anything.

When it comes to the issue of the Blood Moon Horn, Kallis is a completely unlucky guy. First, he robbed and killed the king's envoy in a mysterious way, causing him to fall from the high position of the leader of the Holy See's Dragon Cavalry to the mortal world.

Just after taking a breath, he disguised himself as a wandering businessman and investigated the Blood Moon Horn again, but the result was another unlucky start.

The trouble this time was indeed smaller, but the consequences were similar. He also faced the pursuit of the aristocratic group.

The only difference is that the enemies in the previous wave were too high-end. They were at the top level from the start, and Kallis killed all his teammates. But the enemies in this wave are not that strong, and the teammates who took the blame can still be alive and kicking.

"Don't worry, Holy Lord. I'm not a fool. My whereabouts have been exposed. If I continue to stay in the Southeast Province, I'm just waiting for the enemy to come to me.

Judging from the reaction of this group of nobles, they still have not let down their vigilance, and the time is not yet ripe to pursue the matter of the Blood Moon Horn.

It's better to let our people evacuate the Alpha Kingdom first and develop it in another place. After three to five years, we will send people over to investigate."

Kallis suggested sincerely.

It is easy to get on the ship, but difficult to get off the ship. Although the Skull and Bones Society has been reorganized, some of the remaining habits of the cult have still been inherited.

For example: means of controlling people.

At this moment, the boat is in the middle of the river. The turbulent river water and rolling waves are enough to scare anyone.

Not wanting to jump off the boat to feed the fish, Kallis could only advise the captain to dock the boat first to avoid the huge waves.

"Things are not as simple as you think. If we want to change the current situation, we must find the Blood Moon Horn.

Without this thing as a certificate of surrender, the nobles would not believe that we betrayed the Holy See, let alone gain their support.

As an old cult organization controlled by the Holy See, the Skull and Bones Society has always been operating in various countries in the mainland, and its reputation has long been notorious.

Even if you leave the Alpha Kingdom, you will still be wanted and hunted down.

Our situation will not be any different from now, we can still only hide from XZ and live a life of darkness."

The masked man explained patiently.

No one likes to hide all the time XZ. If he could escape, he would have run away long ago. Even hiding his name is not unacceptable.

But the problem is that the classes in this world are too solidified. Even if they remain anonymous, they can only crawl and wallow at the bottom of society and continue to live a precarious life.

As for pretending to be a noble, just think about it and you will know that it is unreliable. Every noble has his own background. It is okay to pretend to be a noble temporarily, but over time, he will definitely become a gangster.

What's more, the words and deeds of nobles are not so easy to imitate. Without professional training, you can't even understand the most basic noble etiquette, let alone adapt to the thinking mode of nobles.

This is still the bottom class of nobles. The nobles who go higher up can have access to the extraordinary power of magic. No matter how good the disguise is, it is not worth mentioning in the face of extraordinary power.

…

In Beda City, Count Pierce was thinking about how to deal with the next situation in the kingdom. After receiving the letter from Viscount Oran, he was about to explode with anger.

The Skull and Bones Society clearly regarded him as a soft persimmon. After planning a rebellion, they actually dared to show up in the Southeast Province.

"Send the order and ask the nobles from all over the country to block all major transportation routes and strictly inspect all business travelers entering and exiting Qiaomu County.

I ordered Baron Raphael to take the Second Infantry Regiment to Qiaomu County. I must catch all the Skull and Bones members hiding there.

From now on, all griffin cavalry will be dispatched to conduct irregular patrols over various areas of the southeastern province, and report any abnormal movements immediately."

Earl Pierce said coldly.

The last Skull and Bones rebellion had severely humiliated him, and Pierce would never allow it to happen again.

Otherwise, the outside world would think that the Dalton family was in decline, unable to control the situation in the province, and a group of evil wolves would attack.

The ruthless Governor Pierce was undoubtedly terrifying. The entire southeastern province was mobilized, especially Qiaomu County and the surrounding nobles, who mobilized to the maximum extent.

From this moment on, no one without hundreds of private soldiers can sleep peacefully.

In the Mountain Territory, Hudson's business suddenly improved. Originally, his customer base was concentrated in Wright and Wyton counties, but this time it spread directly to most of the southeastern province.

Many nobles who originally despised the quality of his weapons finally obediently placed orders. In order to increase weapon production, the original orders for daily necessities were now forced to stop.

Young men aged fourteen or fifteen went to the smelting field to work as apprentices. Some strong women also wielded sledgehammers, and even the process of land reclamation was affected.

There was nothing Hudson could do. Each new order came in more urgently. The most important thing was that in order to get the goods as quickly as possible, these guys resorted to the legendary and invincible method of adding money.

Not only did they simply add money, these guys also promised that they could offset the entire payment with serfs, livestock, and grain.

All of them are on the soft interior of the Hudson, and you have to find a way if you have no other choice. When faced with urgent orders, you can only roll up your sleeves and do it.

In order to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm, the mine has changed from three meals to four meals, and inferior bread has been upgraded to ordinary bread. The original material rationing supply system has now been upgraded to full control.

In order for everyone to maintain sufficient physical strength, three sheep must be slaughtered every day, and game meat will be added from time to time.

It looks good, but in fact this small amount of meat supply is only enough for ordinary workers to have some meat. If you are not a master chef, you will not see the meat at all.

There were no other options, and thousands of people were working in the mines. The daily supply of hundreds of pounds of meat was really insignificant.

This is based on the premise that new livestock will soon be brought into the account, otherwise Hudson would not dare to be so extravagant.

Who said that breeding business is a long-term investment? In the most primitive breeding method, it is difficult to see big results within a few years.

There is no large-scale artificial breeding, and it is difficult to just hunt the little meat and supply the daily quota of the territorial people.

Had it not been for the occasional customer who brought livestock to pay for goods, Hudson's sheepfold would have been empty long ago.

Looking at the busy production line, Hudson felt a sense of accomplishment, as if his life was about to reach its peak.

…

"What, you want me to be responsible for delivery?"

While speaking, Hudson had already stood up from his seat, as if he had heard a big joke.

Having sold products so many times, customers have always come to pick up the goods. Delivering them to their door is simply overthinking.

The monopoly businessman said: his products do not include free shipping!

If you want to buy, you can buy it. If you don’t, you can’t buy it. Baron Hudson, who can’t place orders, is so confident.

"Your Excellency, Baron, I heard that you have promised to exchange serfs for your goods, and you will bear all the transportation costs incurred."

The visitor explained calmly.

The nobleman's words took root. Baron Hudson, who was trustworthy, would naturally not deny his promise.

"Yes, I have made this promise. You send people here to transport it, and I will reimburse you for the food and grass consumed on the road."

Hudson said pretending to be generous.

Nobles did not have the habit of calculating labor costs. The so-called transportation costs were only the food expenses for people and animals. With such a small expense, Hudson really didn't care.

But asking him to deliver the goods to your door is different. Who doesn't know that skeletons are now in Qiaomu County, and everyone might bump into them on the way.

Once a fight starts, the cost will skyrocket. It is one thing to suffer heavy casualties, but if not, the entire army may be wiped out.

The arduous business has exceeded Hudson's risk tolerance, and there is nothing he can do in this kind of business.

"Your Excellency Baron, if it were normal times, we wouldn't dare bother you to go there in person, but the current situation is special.

Without your reputation and intimidation, it would be difficult for us to safely transport these weapons back to our territory, and the transaction would be impossible.

But don’t worry, we know the rules. We will settle the increased fees according to the market price.
