Chapter 140 It’s Great to Have a Rich Woman!
"money……"
The eldest princess pondered like this, and she opened her mouth with a slight hesitation...looking slightly hesitant.
"That's right, it's just...money."
Belch replied like this. Surrounded by several guards who were holding back their laughter, he responded honestly: "We need funding!"
【Yes! Give us money quickly! 】
"..."
Ah this...
Feeling a little headache, the eldest princess rubbed her temples and glanced at the shadow corner where Ruowuowu laughter seemed to be coming from.
"You guys go down first..."
After saying this and instructing the guards leading the way to stay away, the eldest princess sitting in the study was obviously helpless.
She chose to meet Bel Xi in the study, never thinking beforehand that Bel Xi made a special trip to Ounei City just to ask for money.
The eldest princess originally thought that something big happened in the north and she needed to report to herself...for example, the recent volcanic riot.
There were other nearby cities that suffered gnoll attacks as a result.
It turned out that I just wanted money...
"For similar matters, you can submit an application by letter. The format and example should be clear to the Earl of Northland."
The eldest princess said this, obviously meaning "you don't have to go there in person", and indicated that Sebu Belia can write the application.
After all, in that case she only needs to write a [permission].
Not like this now...
"Swish, swish, swish~"
The eldest princess dipped her quill pen in ink, flicked the tip of the pen and wrote an appropriation document, and then paused where she wrote the amount.
"Logically speaking, there is no natural or man-made disaster in the Northern Territory, nor is there any special situation... Well, that's all."
The eldest princess said this and wrote an incredible number in the amount: "One hundred thousand gold coins...is it enough?"
I go! so much? ! This is enough! !
【Okay! OK! 】
"Enough is enough!"
As Bel Xi said this, she nodded and took a serious look at her mother, who was currently the biggest financial backer, sitting opposite her.
"We will definitely repay you in the future!"
"..."
Although it is very normal, I don't know why...under the current situation, it is unexpectedly a bit rough.
After all, this is just talk...
The eldest princess also knew that he was just talking.
"There is no need to repay... You have done a wonderful job with the Northland Church. Just think of the gold coins as a reward for you."
Saying this, the eldest princess stamped her seal on the written document and placed it on the tentacle extended by Semu Nananoshima.
Just like before, as long as you take this document, you can ask the big sister in the treasury for money...
Princess, you are such a good person!
"However, since you have collected the gold coins...can you do me a little favor?"
Regarding the words of the sponsor's mother, Belxi felt that she had nothing to hesitate and immediately nodded: "You say it."
[Brother, you are completely tempted by the bad woman... No, are you actually tempted by the gold coins? Rich women are good. 】
While Nananashima Semu was complaining inaudibly, the eldest princess took out a marked roll from a pair of parchments at hand and unfolded it.
"It just so happens that it's also a Northland matter, related to Beigang City."
Beigang City...is it related to the melting of Beigang City?
…
Bel Xi's guess was very close. The eldest princess's so-called "little help" was indeed related to melting, but it was not the last time.
The last meltdown that occurred in the center of Northport City, the crew of the ghoul fleet originating from a certain layer of the abyss, had been properly dealt with.
actually……
It’s the melting [next time].
After that melting, another melting occurred near Beigang City, but this caused another accident in Beigang City.
To be precise, it was not Beigang City itself that suffered, but the ships that relied on Beigang City for trade.
To put it more clearly, in the sea area further east of Beigang City, a melting phenomenon occurred, and an abyss pirate fleet was airborne.
The main crew members are demons...
It can't be said that he is pure and kind, but he can also be said to have done all kinds of evil, which has made the merchants of Beigang City miserable and the people miserable.
"Almost all of those demon species are level 4 and above. They currently occupy an uninhabited island as their base."
"I don't ask you to solve it. I just need to help investigate the situation. It's the same as last time... Yes, it stands to reason that it's the same as last time."
Saying this, the eldest princess suddenly realized that the so-called [last time] actually exceeded the goal.
He led his men to blow up the Northland church and even recruited and brainwashed all the pastors inside.
It really made her feel like she had really invested in a genius.
"I know that the Northern Territory lacks battleships, so..."
The eldest princess said...
This is really amazing (liao) (le)!
Belsi and Nananoshima Semu became excited for a moment... Could it be that they even want to send us a battleship? The kind equipped with some kind of magic cannon? !
In that case, the two of them would really have to remember the eldest princess.
Even if there is a conflict in the future, he will defeat the eldest princess and trample her to the ground, but he will still gently spare her life.
"So, there is no need to rush this matter. We just need to investigate some information more or less, such as the occupation and number of the enemies."
But it was obvious... Belsi and Semu Nananoshima were overthinking.
But it has to be said that even if the eldest princess has the ambition to be an emperor, she is still an incredible noble... and can probably be regarded as the most noble person in the kingdom?
(Eldest Princess: Don’t say [probably]! I am!)
But the eldest princess has no airs. Even as a superior, she only keeps giving money and resources, but does not assign any tasks to a few people.
Basically, they are not forced to complete it, and they even say "no need to rush", which is really conscientious.
One has to wonder whether the other party really has a crush on Bel Xi...
This is a beautiful dragon body.
[Brother, I feel weird. 】
"I understand, I understand, that's it... don't bother me, let's go!"
Amid Semu Nananoshima's alert voice, after Belsi finished speaking, she quickly evacuated the study.
I'm going to ask the big sister in charge of the kingdom's treasury for money.
"..."
"snort……"
The eldest princess smiled lightly, and then continued her daily work... She could see what Bel Xi was thinking.
Just like pouring food for a cat, if the cat food is poured into a fuller bowl than usual, the cat will be particularly happy.
But if you keep giving, keep giving, giving will become a small mountain.
Then the cat will be afraid, and will retreat with its ears folded, hiding in the corner and peeking...
This scene is really interesting.
"..."
"..."
"To be honest, I thought... you would say something like [stay the night tonight], after all, you seem to really like him."
Amidst the joking voices coming from the corner, the eldest princess continued to respond to the paperwork without changing her expression... becoming an indifferent stamping machine,
Didn't even bother to respond.
"After all, you are already in your twenties. You are no longer young for a human being, but you still have no marriage partner."
"The Violet Kingdom...has no successor."
"..."
The eldest princess became a little impatient with the voice in the shadow. She stopped sealing the seal: "If I die, my sister will succeed."
In other words, there will be no successors.
These words silenced the voice in the shadow. He thought back to the child running around with the cannon: "Are you serious?"
That child seems to be able to destroy the kingdom within three days of taking the throne...
"Anyway, I'd be dead by then, so there's nothing to worry about. Besides... I don't think I'll die that easily."
The eldest princess said simply. She added some ink to her quill and squinted her eyes: "As for marriage..."
With that said, the eldest princess seemed to talk about this topic without caring at all: "You need to understand that royal marriage requires value."
In this case, a member of a secret sect in the shadows is aware of this... at least he has heard about similar topics.
But he thought that someone like the eldest princess would sneer at this.
"I am the first princess of the kingdom. As the eldest princess, I must have this awareness... I need to treat [my husband] as a commodity."
And this product will obviously not be sold to [lover], and what is exchanged is definitely not love, but something called [profit].
It may be the interests of the kingdom, but it is obviously more likely to be the interests of [her kingdom] and her own interests.
"It's really hard to be an emperor..."
"..."
Isn't this bullshit? !
——————————
"Oh, eldest brother and second sister, you are coming out."
The mage girl said hello to the dragon coming out of the palace in the confused and curious eyes of passers-by.
"How much does it cost? Hmm..."
The mage girl asked. She looked at Belsi and Nanajima Semu, and smiled maliciously: "I thought the eldest brother would stay in the palace for the night."
At the mage girl's words, Sebubeliya couldn't help but smile...
Because she had seen similar scenes many times, the next scene... was probably the mage girl holding her butt and jumping around.
"..."
【……】
"Stick her!"
【Obey! 】
"Ah! Woohoo, wrong, wrong!"
As the mage girl grabbed her butt and let out a scream, Belsy also shrank and crawled into the bag behind her.
"I got a lot of money... I was a little surprised."
[Yeah, one hundred thousand gold coins. 】
"What?! One hundred thousand?!"
The mage girl's voice was loud, attracting the attention of many passers-by on the streets of Ounei City... Sebu Belia covered her face helplessly.
However, the mage girl quickly pretended that nothing was wrong, pulled her mage hat down, covered her face, and left quickly.
Then, she asked softly: "What's going on? Why did you give so much money? Do you want us to pay back the money?"
Belch explained calmly, with some confusion in his voice: "There is no need to pay it back. The conditions attached to these gold coins...are small tasks that cannot even be called conditions."
Saying this, he explained the general situation.
"Ah this..."
In this regard, the mage girl could only make this sound. She guessed: "Could it be those demon pirates...is there some kind of trap?"
Belsi didn't quite understand this either.
I don’t quite understand it…but there’s nothing I need to understand.
"I don't know, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the money is in place...and it's an amount that we don't need to continue to think about how to get the money."
Belsi said, and raised his head to Nananashima Semu: "This money should be used directly to develop [gold coin] technology, right?"
At that time, the mining field will directly produce gold, and the mint will directly smelt it into gold coins, and the resources will be recycled.
[Well, that’s enough! 】
Semu Nananoshima did some research and found that there were [several hundred G (gold coins)] of construction costs and research institute technology expenses on his system panel.
Before, when she spent money, she calculated it carefully in units of silver coins, and felt that spending money was like running water. Now...
[To give an example, it’s like directly charging ten 648s when the game is launched... at least it will be enough for a long time. 】
[However, I am a little unhappy if I don’t make use of those medicinal herbs...]
After all, in that case, Nanajima Semu's hard work in refining the medicine will be meaningless, and the efforts will be completely in vain...
That would be too speechless.
"Then let's stop by and see if we can recruit apothecaries, alchemists, etc... Anyway, we can afford to pay the wages now."
Bel Xi said this. He looked up at the road and said, "However, you two should sign up first."
That's right, in fact, it's enough for Berxi to come and ask for money this time, but...Nanashima Semu will definitely go away together with his head glued to his head.
The two of them seemed to be a little too close to one another.
But this is also very reasonable. After all, although Nananoshima Semu's combat power cannot be said to be "powerless", it can still be regarded as...
I can only beat the chicken.
Therefore, Belsi will act as her bodyguard to protect her and her invincible cheat before she starts to improve her combat power.
The mage girl and Sebubelia are Plan B (Plan B).
If Belsi can't get the money, then the mage girl should go to the recycling shop and ask Uncle Leo to borrow some money... at least to survive this period of time.
Sebbeliya also knew people she could borrow money from.
And it’s almost time to start school...
The two of them need to register as soon as possible to participate in the intermediate courses of the Rhea Catamanalia Kingdom Magic Academy to improve their mage level.
If you get money, everyone will come and sign up.
…
The closer you get to the academy, the stronger the atmosphere of magic and scholarship becomes...
Along the way, Belsi met many people who discussed academic magic issues with each other, but even so... no one was wearing a mage robe.
But normal attire.
It seems that even a mage, like a mage girl, wearing the mage robe directly as formal attire is quite explosive.
In Belsi's thoughts, he noticed that the mage girl stopped.
Meanwhile, Sebbeliya didn’t move on.
【Huh? What's wrong? 】
"what happened?"
Under the two people's questions, Sebu Belia took the lead and pointed to the front and said: "Look, the guy over there..."
Following Sebu Belia's finger, Belsi saw a girl.
Interestingly, this girl is not human. From the appearance, she has ears like fish fins and a wet nose like a dog.
It looks like a mermaid...but with human legs.
It seemed that he was having a very heated discussion with a few more experienced mages.
"What is that? A mermaid?"
[Why are you wearing normal clothes? Shouldn't you only be wearing three shells...and nothing else? 】
"There's something wrong with you!"
"..."
"Well, it's the mermaid tribe... That's the student Hai Lei who did very well in the pharmacy class as I said yesterday."
Sebu Belia said that during the time when the three of her and Bel Xi were hanging out, she also learned bad things and signaled: "Hurry up and tie her back to the Northern Territory."
Then, it seemed as if he knew that what he said was not in line with his character, nor in line with his always dull expression.
So Sebu Belia covered her mouth and chuckled: "Haha..."
But then, she couldn't laugh anymore...
…
Belsey: "Okay!"
Nananoshima Semu: [Okay! 】
Mage Girl: "Okay!!!"
Seb Belia: "!!!"
…
Just a joke! Don't really rush in and rob someone!
