Chapter 244 The Strength of the Silver City

Vanessa kissed Adrian on the face, and then got off the carriage. The moment she got off the carriage, the sweet smile on her face disappeared completely. The image of a gentle and gentle woman in love completely disappeared, replaced by a A powerful and inviolable extraordinary magician!

Just taking a casual step, the pressure that naturally radiates makes it difficult for the honor guard members to breathe.

"Amazing!"

Aubrey exclaimed: "Is this the power of an extraordinary magician? It's no worse than our field."

"It's just nonsense..."

Adrian rolled his eyes. Among all the Apocalypse, magicians are inherently superior. This sense of superiority has been maintained from the awakening talent to the Supreme level. After entering the Supreme level and touching the threshold, the boundaries of each Apocalypse profession will be It starts to blur.

If an extraordinary warrior competes with an extraordinary mage in terms of aura, then you are asking for trouble.

The two of them didn't plan to show up for the next thing. Although they both knew that Vanessa must be related to them, they still had to do it on the surface - this was the default rule of the game.

"Duke Frank..."

The expressionless Vanessa glanced at Duke Frank, who greeted her with a smile on his face. She ignored his enthusiastic hands and passed him by. Just one word made Frank and the others freeze.

"I'm a Grayson."

Yes, Vanessa used to be from the Kingdom of Grayson, and now she belongs to the City of Silver.

But what does it mean when you greet a Grayson and play the national anthem of the Illrus Empire?

Demonstration?

Of course Frank wouldn't dare.

This is more like a kind of helpless flattery - they all know about Vanessa and Adrien. In their opinion, Vanessa loves Adrien for a long time, and even served as the honorary royal of the Illus Empire. Magic advisor, she will become an Illusian sooner or later. Playing the Illusian Empire national anthem for her is a kind of early recognition of her identity, which should make her happy...

In fact, of course Vanessa doesn't care about the so-called national anthem, but if you want to fall out anyway, you have to find a reason first. Otherwise, how could an elegant mage from the City of Silver fall out so gracelessly? If you tell me, it will discredit the City of Silver.

Guest room, long table, silver cups, fine wine.

Frank raised his glass: "Please."

Vanessa said calmly: "Magicians need to ensure that they have a clear mind at all times, so we never drink alcohol."

Frank's mouth twitched, his face a little confused.

Now that Vanessa has made it clear that the person who came here is not malicious, Frank is too lazy to be polite to her anymore: "I wonder why Ms. Vanessa sees me?"

"About the magic crystal trade contract between the Kadir family and the City of Silver..."

As soon as Vanessa finished speaking, Frank felt a thump in his heart.

"Teacher Jean has recently made a new research breakthrough. Silver City has made technological innovations that can greatly improve our utilization of magic crystals. Therefore, starting from this month, the number of magic crystals we need has been reduced by more than half. .”

half! ?

Frank shook his glass and was silent for a moment: "What do you mean..."

The expressionless Vanessa said calmly: "Due to the sharp drop in demand, the export volume of the Ronitant Kingdom is enough to meet our needs, and there is no need to supplement the import quota from the Illus Empire. . The Kingdom of Ronitant is closer to the City of Silver, with lower commercial tax rates and very low prices. Therefore, we have decided to terminate the supply contract between the City of Silver and the Kadir family from now on."

The wine glass in Frank's hand deformed silently, but he quickly controlled his emotions, deliberately frowned and said: "Ms. Vanessa, your decision is too sudden. You know, in order to supply you with To meet the demand, we will mine a large amount of magic crystals in advance and reserve them. If you suddenly decide to terminate the trade contract, where should I sell the backlog of magic crystals in my warehouse?"

"That's your problem to solve, not us."

Vanessa carried out Aubrey's instructions and stayed strong to the end: "We are the buyer, and now we are just here to tell you, 'We don't want your goods anymore.' ?”

Frank took a deep breath. Even with his restraint, he now felt the urge to kill.

The City of Silver is the only and largest shipping market for magic crystals now. It can be said that they dominate the price of magic crystals. Now they say that the magic crystals dug out of more than a dozen large and small magic crystal mines , it’s all in your own hands!

Fire sale on the market? Except for the City of Silver, the aristocratic classes in various countries have a poor ability to digest magic crystals. The supply of magic crystals on the market has long exceeded demand. If they hadn't deliberately hoarded and slowed down shipments to control prices, now The price of magic crystal has already plummeted - oh, that's wrong, the price of magic crystal has plummeted now.

After Vanessa finished speaking, she stood up and turned around to leave. This extremely strong attitude conveyed a clear message to Frank: I represent the City of Silver, and I came all the way here just to deliver such a message. What should I do? It's up to you.

"……asshole!"

Frank squeezed the wine glass and gasped sharply.

He was sure that the whole thing had something to do with the Royal Faction!

And their goal has become clearer, either to cut off his income from the magic crystal mine, or to focus on the magic crystal mine in his hands.

The City of Silver must have made this decision because Vanessa was instigated by Adrian. As Jean's favorite disciple, Vanessa still has this power.

Frank murmured to himself: "It seems... they are serious this time."

Jean's reputation is there, who dares to use his name to spread false news? So no matter how much Frank guessed, he would never guess that Vanessa was risking her life to pass on false information for the sake of her sweetheart—technological innovations and demand halving were all fake, just to defraud him.

Thinking of the recent movements in Aubrey, Frank felt more and more that he was trapped in a conspiracy vortex against the Qadir family.

"Could it be that they want to start with the magic crystal mine to test my attitude?"

Frank frowned. The demand for magic crystals in the Silver City was halved, which meant that the entire market shrank by half. The Ronitant Kingdom itself had occupied the entire market, and even Victor and the others had not obtained the magic crystal mines. any proceeds.

So the biggest possibility is that Victor and the others want to start from the magic crystal mine, step by step erode the foundation of the Kadir family, and weaken their power!

Thinking of this, Frank's face turned dark, and he smashed the long table with one palm: "Charles! Moulton!"

The voice came from far away, and the two people who had been staying behind to observe Vanessa secretly appeared in a hurry: "Father."

"Immediately pass the order and clear out the magic crystal at cost price!"

"Father!?"

Charles was shocked: "If we do this, the domestic magic crystal market will completely collapse! After this news gets out, we may not even be able to clear our positions!"

"There is no time." Frank waved his hand: "Don't care about the loss, just find a way to get rid of it as soon as possible!"

Charles had no choice but to nod: "Yes!"

"besides……"

Frank gritted his teeth and said: "Molton, go contact Chief Spard... No, in addition to him, please inform everyone from the big families in Alyinx, including the business alliance, we will... tomorrow... ...No! Give you one day to ship the goods, and we will auction the ownership of all the magic crystal mines under the name of the Kadir family the day after tomorrow!"

Ignoring the slow Moulton, Charles was even more trembling after hearing Frank's decision.

Auction the ownership of all magic crystal mines!

This means giving up the magic crystal market directly - if outsiders learn this news, won't the price of magic crystals completely collapse?

Under the current new policy, even the Qadir family has given up on this market. Who else dares to take over?

That night, Illus Palace.

"Hahahaha! He finally couldn't bear it anymore!"

After learning that the plan was finally successful, Aubrey couldn't stop laughing: "Sure enough, it's useful for this old bastard Adrian to sell his body."

"You bastards!"

Adrian was furious: "Why didn't you inform me in advance - and what exactly did you promise her behind my back?"

"What did you promise her? It's nothing. It's just that His Majesty Victor asked Ms. Vanessa for help, so he decided to hold another grand wedding for the two of you in the name of the imperial royal family, which is considered an officially recognized status."

"What!?"

Adrien's face turned green: "Are you crazy!? How could I possibly marry her——"

"Old stubborn, even Erica agreed, why the hell do you insist on these rules..."

Aubrey pouted.

"Then I would like to wish Grand Duke Adrian a happy wedding in advance."

Tang En expressed his congratulations with a smile and added insult to injury: "Maybe Elsa will have an aunt or uncle in a while."

Victor looked at Adrian and thought deeply: "It's very possible."

"Can we not discuss this kind of thing at this time?"

Alleria simply couldn't stand these old gangsters, but her brother was away, and now she was the only one who could help her father share the pressure, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and join the secret meeting - in fact, she wanted to I'm going to check out the Kadir family spot in the evening.

"What we should be discussing now is how to end it next, right?"

Alleria said angrily: "For you—"

She pointed at Tang En: "——That ridiculous plan, my father and the others are willing to risk everything. Once they fail to achieve the expected goal, do you know what it means?"

"certainly."

Tang En disagreed: "You can rest assured on the profits. When this matter is completely over, you will know my confidence."

Victor looked at Tang En and Alleria, and said seriously: "In that case... then it will be up to you at the auction the day after tomorrow."
