Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 498: Keep Military Funds Privately

As he gained a deeper understanding of the empire, Alan knew why Zora was so surprised. One had to know that the Blood Boiling Magic Crystal was one of the lowest-ranked items in the entire series of magic crystals, but it was not a commodity circulating in the market. Strictly speaking, even if their strategic goods were restricted by the empire, they still had a series of corresponding formalities. With Grar's aptitude, it was impossible for him to obtain an item like the Blood Boiling Demon Crystal that could stimulate his combat strength in a short period of time.

Alan checked the suitcases next to him and found that they were also filled with Blood Boiling Demon Crystals. Ten boxes. Each box had roughly a hundred magic crystals. In other words, there were a thousand magic crystals here. There were quite a few of them. Judging from the market price of the magic crystals, these magic crystals were worth more than a million gold coins.

A windfall.

While sweeping through the Bloodstone Wasteland, Dick, the leader of the bandits, had used magic crystals to raise his civil war strength to Level 19 in a short period of time. Alan had witnessed the power. If he ignored the enchantment brought about by the Blood Boiling Demon Crystal, this batch of demon crystals would be able to turn an ordinary army into an abyssal from hell in a short period of time. With this batch of magic crystals, there was no doubt that if they were used properly, they could completely change the outcome of a local war.

Ruo La said in a low voice, "We can't move this batch of things."

Of course, the Blood Boiling Demon Crystal was a forbidden item no matter where it was. Even in the black market, they could only secretly trade. If Allen and the other two brought the magic crystals out, it would be very difficult for them to turn into money in the market, except for their own use. Jorah smiled and said, "However, we can't afford to let Grar off so cheaply. It's not a small crime for him to hide war materiel, if we help him get it out."

Alan shrugged and said, "I'll leave it to you."

Ruo La reached out and grabbed two or three magic crystals and put them into his pocket. Then, he continued to search for something. A moment later, he found her an exquisite box. Opening it, it was filled with a stack of imperial bank savings certificates. She pulled Ellen up and said, "Let's go. We'll get these things later."

'"Are you going to rob me again?" Ellen said.

"Of course, if I keep so many treasures, I will feel heartache."

Before she left, she took a few more jewelry necklaces that were easy to carry. The two of them quietly left the mansion along the same path. When they returned to the vicinity of White Castle, Ruola stopped. "This is yours," he said, pulling out a stack of vouchers from the box. "I've seen it before. These items are anonymous. As long as you go to any imperial bank, you can exchange them unconditionally. However, it's best to take them out later so that Uncle Gral doesn't discover them."

"Let's do this first. I have to go back. Otherwise, he'll probably be impatient. I'll meet you again tomorrow."

Ruo La smiled and slipped away, causing Alan to shake his head, wondering if the Countess was addicted to robbery?

Glar was indeed impatient. His teacup had been emptied several times. Ruo La had taken the bath for nearly forty minutes, and it was not over yet. He snorted and prepared to leave with his sleeves. Finally, footsteps came from the stairs. Ruo La, who had just changed her clothes, walked out of the hall with a dense water vapor on her body. It looked like she had just come out of the bath. She said apologetically, "I've kept Uncle Gral waiting."

Grar's expression softened a little, and Jorah kept him until late at night before letting him go. Glar returned to the mansion, very tired, and did not inspect his secret vault. He went back to his bedroom and fell asleep.

The next morning, Jorah came to Oban's study. Oban was reading a book called The History of Imperial War. Seeing Ruo La enter, he put down the book. He gestured for the butler, Mace, to leave first. After the butler left, Ou Ban said, "Judging from your appearance, last night went smoothly?"

"Almost. Let's see what I find." Ruo La put down the box she had taken from Graar's vault last night and opened it. There were less than three vouchers left in the box, only a few hundred thousand gold coins or so. Ruo La is quick-witted, immediately put the voucher into his pocket and said: "This is mine."

Ou Ban shook his head and smiled, "Others don't know, but they think that my brother is too harsh. It's only a few hundred thousand gold coins. I'll just give it to you."

"Then why is it the same? I earned this!"

"At most, it was you who snatched it, but is that all Glar has?"

"Of course not. I have already given a portion of it to Alan as a reward."

Ou Ban was stunned, "You actually asked Ellen to go with you. Jorah, according to the information I gave you, you can do it by yourself, right?"

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's look at these, brother." Jorah did not seem to want to discuss this with Obando, and poured out a few more letters from the box, "Take a look for yourself, Glar has almost sold you!"

Ou Ban took a few letters and after reading them, he snorted coldly, "The black cat's information is indeed true. Grar really has bad intentions."

These letters were messages between Grall and the two Earls outside. Among them, Grar leaked many of the secrets of the Ouban Territory, including the annual military expenditure, the equipment and configuration of the army, and so on. If you are interested, you can derive more information from this information, and then find out the bottom of Ouban.

"That's not all. Brother, do you know what else I found in his cellar?" Ruo pulled her hand and a Blood Boiling Demon Crystal lay in her palm.

Ou Ban's pupils constricted and he said in a deep voice, "Do you know the source?"

"I'm not sure. I've checked. These magic crystals don't have any signs."

"Alright, it looks like this Glar is indeed preparing to do something big."

Ruo La blinked her eyes and said, "Brother, what are you going to do?"

'"You can't go all out, or else the impact will be too great. Besides, I have to negotiate with Daniel next. If we deal with Gral, there will be unnecessary variables. How about this, watch him after we go to the Bauhinia flower, and don't let him take a step out of the Bauhinia flower." Oban snorted, "Originally, I wanted to check him out when he was transferred from the territory. I didn't expect that he would be of any use now. Grar is also digging his own grave."

"Then leave it to me. But before that, I have a plan. A small plan." Ruo La said with a smile.

That afternoon, at the Ark Harbor Market, a man suddenly took out a red crystal stone and crushed it. A blood-red mist drifted out of the crushed crystal. The man sucked in the mist and sucked it into his nose. A moment later, he attacked the passers-by crazily, injuring several men on the spot. Fortunately, a group of soldiers from the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine passed by and quickly subdued the man.

After investigation, the man was one of the guards of Viscount Grayer's mansion. According to the information provided by the people present, the guard was using one of the forbidden items, the Blood Boiling Demon Crystal! Upon receiving the news, Oban called Gral to the study. No one knew what they were talking about. When Grar came out, the viscount's expression was as ugly as a dead man's. Don't hurry back to the mansion.
