Add, click, recommend, none of them could be missing, or the price of food would increase.
Lola sighed and said, ” the Buda family is really wronged. What can a small noble family know? they do whatever the king asks them to do. They never thought about it. They unconsciously pushed themselves to the opposite side of all the nobles. &Quot;
&Quot; it’s not that the Buda family doesn’t understand, ” kun Zheng said. &Quot; it’s just that whether they do it or not, they will die. It’s the old king of the Arkas Empire who underestimated the power of the old nobles. &Quot;
Lola said, ” the young master of the Buda family is really unlucky. I heard that although the young master named Adam is a little dandy, he is not evil. He was forced to drink the water of nothingness. If it weren’t for the two 8th-tier powerhouses in the family, I’m afraid he would have lost his life. I think when they went to the black wasteland, he was still unconscious. I’m afraid he will not be able to escape this time. &Quot;
Kun Zheng nodded and said, ” the power of a level nine is not that simple. I heard that Grimm was injured as well. With just one attack, he injured a level eight peak expert. There is indeed a difference between level eight and level nine. &Quot;
Lola replied, ” yes, I heard from Boff that green was seriously injured this time. Even if he recovers, his level will drop. This time, even if the Versailles family failed to kill green, they would have lost an arm to the Buda family. &Quot;
Kun Zheng sighed. &Quot; this is power. If the Buda family had a 9th rank combatant, they would have officially become a great noble. No one would dare to treat them like this. &Quot;
The status of a great noble on the continent depended on two aspects. One was the inheritance. The duration of the inheritance meant that you were qualified to become a great noble. The other was the strength. As long as you were strong enough, you could be considered a great noble even if the inheritance had not been long. This strength could not be measured by money. It depended on whether there were 9th rank powerhouses in your family.
It could be said that a level 9 metahuman did not only represent power, but also a faction. If a level 9 metahuman was compared to something on earth, it would be like a nuclear bomb. It was a deterrent, but it was rarely used.
Laura looked at kun Zheng and said,”Grandpa kun Zheng, how many level nine martial artists does the makidel family have?” We’ve formed an alliance with Mister Zhao Hai, but he’s only a rank 8 at most. Can he really help us?”
Kun Zheng smiled and said, ” &Quot; of course we can. Don’t think that the magicians of the magicians ‘family are very impressive. In fact, there are only two 9th rank experts in the family. Moreover, these two people have been training in seclusion for many years. They will not fight at all. There are many 8th rank experts in the family, but Mr. Zhao Hai is an 8th rank black magician. No one is willing to provoke him. In addition, he has two powerful followers. The clan won’t dare to touch us so easily.”
Lola nodded. After kun Zheng’s words, she realized that she was not weak anymore. Four level eight powerhouses could even form a small family on the mainland.
With that thought, Laura could not help but feel happy. She then said to kun Zheng, ” &Quot; Grandpa kun Zheng, our business has been doing very well recently. I’m thinking of contacting Sir about the meat processing plant after this storm is over. Sir seems to be in need of money. &Quot;
Kun Zheng nodded his head. &Quot; we should indeed settle this matter. Sir has helped us too much. If it wasn’t for Sir, we would have had a hard time surviving in the Versailles Duchy. &Quot;
Laura also nodded. Although the food issue didn’t seem to have a big impact, it was still very important to Laura and the others. If they didn’t get food from Zhao Hai this time, they wouldn’t have any food to sell. As the price of food increased, the civilians would have a hard time eating. The demand for daily necessities would decrease, and the red spider lily shop would definitely be affected.
Furthermore, when the big merchants were preparing to raise the price of food, they didn’t do the same. Instead, they tried to persuade the merchants not to raise the price as well. This had indirectly offended the merchants. If the merchants were to succeed, they would definitely suppress Laura and the others. Even if they didn’t directly attack Laura and the others, they would suppress them in their businesses. By then, they wouldn’t be able to stay in the Duchy of Versailles.
In addition, Laura wanted to borrow Zhao Hai’s strength. Therefore, she was grateful and respectful to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai’s strength was stronger than hers, and he had the support of a large territory. Laura was even more concerned about Zhao Hai’s Affairs.
Kun looked at Laura and smiled. &Quot; “Also, didn’t Mr. Zhao Hai want some seeds of magic plants? It’s time for us to start preparing. Oh right, we should also give Mr. Zhao Hai some magical beasts that are easy to get. Even though he has money now, he should be able to accept these things.”
Lola nodded. &Quot; okay, then we’ll do it now. Seriously, if it wasn’t for this, we would have done it long ago. &Quot; After saying that, Laura called someone over and handed over the task.
Laura’s influence in the Versailles Duchy wasn’t small. Now that he was cooperating with the Versailles family, it could be said that her status in the Versailles Duchy was very high. Even the Versailles family would give her some face.
The entire Casa City looked calm on the surface, but in fact, it was full of undercurrents. Everyone was waiting for Boffey’s news, and the big families were also making preparations in secret. If Boffey brought back good news, they would have to be honest. If Boffey failed to complete the task, they would not be polite.
These major trading companies weren’t afraid of the Versailles clan. The Versailles clan wouldn’t dare to send out combatants of the ninth rank to deal with them. After all, they had the support of a major clan behind them. If the Versailles clan really did dare to send out combatants of the ninth rank to deal with them, their clans could also send out combatants of the ninth rank to deal with the Versailles clan. At that time, the ones who would suffer would be the Versailles clan.
It had to be said that the Kaiser Empire had ruled over the Versailles clan for far too long. The Versailles Duchy was their territory, and they could do whatever they wanted. This had caused him to grow arrogant. He thought that as long as he hired a powerhouse of the ninth rank to take action, he would be able to intimidate the large trading companies. However, he had forgotten that the large trading companies also had a powerhouse of the ninth rank in charge. If he really dared to use a powerhouse of the ninth rank to deal with them, they would naturally not be polite.
The day passed by peacefully. The second day was still peaceful because Boff had not returned yet. Everyone was waiting quietly. At noon on the third day, Boff finally returned.
Zhao Hai, who was observing the situation of the Versailles family in the dimension, saw Boff immediately. Boff had just landed in the courtyard of the Versailles family. This place was not far from the place where Grimm had entered the dimension last time, so Zhao Hai was able to see him.
As soon as Boff came back, everyone was shocked. It could be said that all the major forces in the entire Casa City were nervous for a while.
Caesar, who got the news, rushed to the courtyard as soon as possible. Boff was also puzzled. After he landed in the courtyard, he didn’t move but just stood there quietly.
As soon as Caesar entered the courtyard, he saw Boff. He quickly greeted him and bowed to him. &Quot; “Greetings, my Lord. Have you found the people from the Buda family?” he asked.
Caesar also knew Boff’s temper. It was useless to be polite with him. As long as you asked him what you wanted to know, Boff would naturally tell you.
Boff shook his head and said, ” No. There’s no trace of the Buda family in the entire blackdirt wilderness, not even on Iron Mountain. I came back to tell you that I didn’t find them. You have to be prepared. I’m going to explore the rotten corpse swamp. Don’t look for me if you need anything else. &Quot; After saying that, his figure moved and disappeared on the spot.
Although Boff had disappeared, Caesar’s face turned ugly. He didn’t expect that Boff wouldn’t be able to find the Buda family. This was really bad news for him.
Almost at the same time, the other large families also received the news. To them, this news was the best news ever. However, they didn’t immediately raise the price of the grain. Instead, they immediately sent people to contact the 2nd and 3rd elders of the Versailles family.
The Versailles family’s 2nd and 3rd elders had been fighting with the great elder for power. This was not news to the major families as almost all of them were in the same situation. They were looking for the 2nd and 3rd elders in hopes of supporting them at this time so that they could prepare to raise the price of food.
Although this seemed a little contradictory, they raised the price of food to deal with the Versailles family, so why would they support the second and third elders?
In fact, this was also normal. For the sake of power, people could sacrifice many things. The great elder had ruled the Versailles family for so many years, and his strength was the greatest in the family. If the 2nd and 3rd elders wanted to use this incident to bring down the great elder, it would not be possible to rely on their own strength. They would have to rely on some external forces, and those major families would be the powerful external forces.
Laura’s face was filled with worry when she heard the news. She knew that the Versailles family would face a storm soon, and she was currently in the middle of it.
In order to compete for the throne, any means would be used. This time, the great elder’s mistake had dealt a big blow to his prestige, but it wasn’t that easy to shake the foundation of the great elder. The great elder had been able to rule the Versailles family for so many years, so he naturally had his own means, but now was also the time when the great elder was at his weakest.
At this time, if something happened that the great elder couldn’t solve, then he would be in real trouble. At this time, the only problem that couldn’t be solved was the food problem!
For the sake of the throne, the great elder’s enemies might sacrifice some of their families ‘interests and cooperate with the big merchants to increase the price of food. If the great elder couldn’t solve the problem after the price increase, they would take this opportunity to kick the great elder out of office. As for the life and death of the civilians after the price increase, the people in the higher positions wouldn’t care at all. In their eyes, power was much more important than the lives of the civilians.
