"My Lord Earl, I heard that some suspicious people have entered your mansion. I wonder if you can let us go in and check it out?"
"Of course not!☆!"
"Well, it's hard for me to do business this way. I won't say anything. Please just let me take a look!"
"No ☆!"
Pepelongino smiled cordially and gave him a heart sign.
"It's Spligen who asked you to come. You just go back to him. If he says he wants to search my mansion, let him come in person. That's it. He won't embarrass you!"
"Okay, okay..."
Seeing that he was out of luck, the patrol leader had no choice but to wipe his head in cold sweat and leave.
If he doesn't leave, he feels that something more important will be lost here!
No wonder his colleagues were reluctant to deal with the count. He finally understood the reason!
After seeing off the patrol, Pepelongino smiled.
He asked the human guards guarding the door to be more vigilant, and he returned to the living room alone.
The anti-queen faction, composed of forces from the history of pan-humanity and collaborators from the current Lostbelt, has a total of eleven people gathered here.
"Wouldn't it be dangerous if Spriggen came in person?"
"It's okay, that guy is very slick, but he doesn't want to offend rich and powerful people."
Pepe shrugged his shoulders, with a nonchalant look on his face.
"In order to deal with the Queen's questioning, he will definitely come here in person, but he will never dare to search my mansion. It is enough to entertain him, send him off, and let him have something to say in response to the Queen!"
"Does the Lord of the Earth Clan have that kind of personality?"
Little Da Vinci spread his hands, slightly speechless.
"Isn't it true that earth fairies are famous for their hard work and stubbornness? Why do you feel that this lord is so cunning?"
And he also loves doing business, rarely touches a hammer, and is quite eccentric.
But he has kept Norwich well organized and prosperous. Even if they are new arrivals, they can see that there is enough excitement here. For the sake of this achievement, no one will doubt him.
"Spriggan is not just naughty, he is also selfish."
Pepeloncino chuckled.
Even though he said this, I didn't see any discomfort on his face.
"You can also see that boring castle from here, right?"
He pointed out the window.
Looking along his line of sight, Jiang Li could see a very tall castle standing in the center of the city, surrounded by a moat. At first glance, he couldn't even find the way in.
"It was a castle he made from the bark of the World Tree, designed in a format that was best at dealing with invaders. It was heavily guarded, with guards patrolling it at all times. Even if the whole of Norwich was destroyed,
Only the Treasury City will remain standing!"
"You take your own safety so seriously?"
Guda couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue.
It is rare to see such a steady enemy, and every one of them made them suffer.
Such as Bad Xiusi and the like!
"What he values is not himself. No, it should be said that he values not just himself."
Peppa smiled brightly, but it was a bit sarcastic.
"He has stored all the money he has collected so far in the treasury city, and no one is allowed to touch it. Even now that Norwich is about to face a catastrophe, he will not allow a single refugee to take refuge."
"Do you know why this is?"
"...Could it be for money?"
Matthew thought it might be Spriggan who didn't care about the lives of the people in her territory, but Pepe's tone forced her to think this way.
"You are as smart as ever, Mash-chan!"
Pepe looked at Mathiu lovingly like an old mother, making her feel embarrassed.
"Spriggen is hopeless about money as his life. He will not let go of any opportunity to exploit loopholes to make money. He will nip any possibility of causing problems with his property in the bud." So, making money is his purpose as a goblin?
Muramasa nodded understandingly.
"According to what you say, Spriggan doesn't care about the survival of the people in his territory at all?"
Grimm captured the key information.
"Did he do nothing about the great disaster?"
"It's not like he didn't do anything."
"?"
"He is accelerating the sale of land!"
"???"
"Norwich implements private ownership of land, and will grant the right to use it for a corresponding period of time depending on the purchase price. However, if the entire city is destroyed, the rebuilt land will return to the lord."
"...fuck!"
Jiang Li couldn't help but curse.
What real estate capitalist!
First sell as much land as possible, wait for a big disaster to destroy the city, then take back the land, rebuild it and then sell it!
From this perspective, Spligen not only refuses to provide disaster relief, he is probably hoping that the disaster will destroy Norwich!
Anyway, he himself will not die if he stays in the castle made of the World Tree, and the fairies will naturally give birth to the next generation, and then countless money will be in his account!
"At this time, you are still thinking about making money. This lord is hopeless and has no hope at all!"
Gareth said indignantly.
"The reason why the citizens here don't run away is that besides not being afraid of death as fairies, there's also a reason why they can't give up the purchased land easily, right?"
Habeimiao, who has been reticent these past few days, couldn't help but sigh.
"In this case, do we have to rely on us to defeat the great disaster?"
Arturia clutched the wand tightly with both hands, her heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
"So, you must have collected a lot of information about the great disaster, right?"
Little Leonardo looked at Pepe and Tristan expectantly.
Although she is not a professional detective, her curiosity as an artist makes her eager to unravel the secret of the catastrophe.
When Jiang Li heard this, he couldn't help but pricked up his ears.
"This is also the biggest trouble right now!"
Tristan looked a little embarrassed.
"Although it's shameful, the information the Earl and I have collected about the catastrophe is very limited!"
"How to say?"
"When you entered the city, you should have seen the thick rain clouds in the sky."
Pepe pointed to the sky outside the window, her expression a little more solemn.
"The 'ash' scattered all over Britain has recently accumulated in large quantities in Norwich, forming the huge cumulonimbus cloud in the sky. The magic power in it is so strong that if a fire is drawn over, it may be able to
Burn down the whole of Norwich in one fell swoop!"
Huge cumulonimbus clouds hang over the whole of Norwich.
Even on the coast several kilometers away, you can see an endless gray-black sky when you look up. The whole world seems to be crying in despair, making people uneasy.
"The magic power is indeed amazing! It can rival a super-large magic furnace core, and the vortex speed of the rain cloud is also visibly faster with the naked eye!"
"Is it stronger than the Machine God?"
Guda asked.
"That's not to say that, but it is definitely a god level!"
Little Da Vinci looked solemn and authentic.
Jiang Li could also feel that the magic power accumulated in that rain cloud was no less than that of the Third True Ancestor's beasts!
It can destroy a city with one strike, and its power is almost the same as that of the True Ancestor Familiar Beast!
