Duke Albert Taranik.
This is Mogan’s first special type of “target customer” and the best candidate to test the waters initially.
Of course, if the plan goes well, given the Duke's assets, the initial plan may evolve into a final plan.
All the information has already been collected into Mo Gan's mind. He was very considerate and specially customized a folder for the duke with labels labeled "Rich Noble", "Arrogant Idiot" and "Negative Case of Hereditary System". The treatment was perfect.
——Just like the benefits that can be plundered from him.
The only time I saw this person was at Queen Cole's birthday ball when Morgan was nineteen years old.
At that time, Mogan borrowed a kingdom knight uniform from an acquaintance in the knights and worked as a quail in the guard team. He did not expect that he would see a good show. In order to take care of his mother, who had not attended a friend's public dance in twenty years, Morgan went to the scene specially, without even notifying the person being cared for. He only asked the royal guards to bring a message to the Queen for instructions and permission.
He didn't hatch the plan he had now, but he could tell at a glance that this guy was a fool.
He has neatly combed standard aristocratic curly hair and a custom-made dress made of expensive and luxurious materials. Every inch of the clothes has been carefully taken care of by the servants. It is also equipped with a piece of jewelry that is said to be produced in the Kingdom of Denton and can increase people's wisdom. amazon wood walking stick.
To be fair, Duke Albert's appearance is actually pretty human-like. But when he opened his mouth and put aside the "aristocratic etiquette" that only existed verbally, his background and cultivation were immediately exposed, which was probably far worse than the "common people" he said.
Not everyone has the "courage" to not only ridicule Her Majesty the Queen's humble fiancé in public, but also bite everyone in anger after being scolded, and compete with an evil dragon who looks cool but is extremely irritable because of the dress to get the last one. Plate of strawberry cake.
In fact, it is difficult for Mogan to understand why there is such an obvious political puppet.
After all, no matter how you look at such a person, it is unlikely that he has been lurking for decades after the war, secretly dealt with or bribed all the upper-level personnel in one of the most prosperous cities in the Cole Empire, and hired people to murder the four informants and their families. The kingdom publicly elected a ruthless conspirator who monopolized the farmland and mineral income, and then appointed his cronies to establish an armed city-state in the Kingdom of Cole.
Although it is not obvious on the surface, according to Mogan's estimation, a coup in the sense of implementation may happen soon.
Fortunately, this was the problem of Mogan's parents and godmother. The southern tip of the continent where he was located was separated from the unfortunate city by mountains and mountains. Mogan would not participate in such boring things unless necessary, but this did not prevent him from finding a breakthrough that was beneficial to him.
Who is the mastermind behind the idiot? Mogan also has a guess:
Either they have a lot of connections, or they have a lot of power.
Maybe it's Duke Albert's disabled brother, the great magician in the kingdom who has taught all the princes and nobles basic magic, some unknown lover with ulterior motives, or even a servant or butler of Taranik Manor, etc...
No matter who he is, Duke Albert is indeed a good tool to test the waters. Judging from his arrogant performance, in order to control such a person's political status, he must be given a taste of the sweetness.
For example, gain some economic authority.
According to the information obtained by Morgan, the "Magic Slime Massage Pool" and "High-altitude Soilless Garden Beet Planting" projects invested by Duke Albert in recent days are just references, proving that it is indeed him who handles the assets on the surface. handwriting.
This is the opportunity that Mogan found. He is a businessman who pays great attention to dignity.
The basic business system of the Cole Kingdom is close to saturation, and making a fuss in this area either requires time or capital. If he wanted to get in touch with bigger business opportunities immediately, Mo Gan needed more abundant funds, and it was best to appear on someone who would be taken advantage of without any future troubles.
It's getting colder now, why not hand over the gold coins you don't need.
"Free investors" like Duke Albert who use their aristocratic status to bully men and women, and whose forces behind them will soon be liquidated, are undoubtedly legitimate targets, and Mogan has no intention of taking away those who should Return property to the treasury or the people.
In this level of borrowing, money is just an increasing or decreasing number to him.
Mogan's greed is more based on love. He pays attention to the pure nature of his gold coin storage and disdains collecting assets that are too dirty. Therefore, he had already planned for the borrowed principal, and would pay it back in full after he made profits as soon as possible.
Calculating that time was almost up, Mogan also tidied up every corner inside and outside the cave to ensure that the physical traces of someone's presence were reduced to a minimum, and picked a few edible wild fruits to replace today's dinner.
Then he flew across the valley again and returned to the original cliff.
After changing back to a normal human form, the full moon at this time happened to be covered by dark clouds for less than half. Mogan looked up at the sky and felt that he was lucky - if the weather was like this just now, he would have stayed twice as long, and he wouldn't have much time to check the details.
The top of the mountain is not eerie in the dark, because there are few trees and only grass grows wildly, with the height only reaching the knees at most.
Mogan also had to think about how to fabricate the purpose of his trip when he returned. After thinking about it, he was busy all afternoon. Finding a place to have a meal was the simplest and most reasonable excuse. I just happened to pick some fruits to fill my stomach. As for the giant dragons who are prototypes, they eat a larger portion, eat longer, and wander in the valley for a long time in order to find enough food. This should be quite understandable in the eyes of others.
The valley was too arrogant and it was too dangerous to go back, so Mogan stayed on the deformed cliff for the time being.
In addition to being convenient for spreading your wings, choosing this small open space as a transit point has another benefit. From here, you can see most of the port, the entire flower field of Windsor Town, and an open space near Morgan's residence.
Of course, this is not the "best viewing spot", and Mogan will not forget the importance of being rare for the sake of convenience.
Anyone else, under this situation, would lament that this place is peaceful and suitable for retirement, but Mo Gan's inner calculation is that there should be no abnormal conditions in such a peaceful and comfortable place that would damage his cherished life. the property of.
Morgan scanned the waterfront as usual. Nothing is different except for the usual ebb and flow of the tide, and the sea is perhaps calmer than some lakes. Since there has been no tsunami disaster record in this mountainous area for a century, the natural impact should be negligible.
No matter how many times he confirmed it, Mogan felt that his choice was very suitable, so he let down his ever-present guard a little.
But when his sight shifted from the sea to the port, Mogan was slightly startled.
In addition to the fishing boats that usually dock, there seems to be a special new large ship docked on one side of the port.
Of course, this kind of port where people carry out trade will naturally dock many cargo ships for passage or trading. However, according to the corner of the ship that can be seen outside the mountain cover, the decoration and size of this ship are unique, and it is not the structure of a conventional cargo ship. .
Where does this variable come from?
Mo Gan was matching various possibilities in his memory. At this moment, a bright spot suddenly appeared in his vision.
It was too far to tell the details, but this unusual situation gave him a bad feeling.
Because the bright spot is like a "shooting star" emitted from behind the mountain, flying to the distant sea level in a parabolic trajectory.
Tens of seconds later, the sound that traveled slower than the speed of light made Mo Gan understand the truth.
"Boom!"
The loud noise of gunpowder explosions came from a distance, and the changing wind direction revealed the ship's flag.
——It was a pirate ship, or a pirate ship that "set off fireworks" with people offshore.
"Crack!"
Mogan crushed a wild fruit in silence.
His face has never looked so ugly since the beginning of his life.
