vs 41 Senny's Request
The last time Kiru fought with Kerr, the Parsons Chamber of Commerce tasted the sweetness, and this time the little magician actually ended up in person, although everyone was not optimistic about Harry, but as a 'shrewd' businessman, he had another idea about the outcome of this battle. (Read the full-text novel as much as possible on the Pick-up K Literature Network)
If you analyze it purely from age, strength, record, etc., Harry's chances of winning can be said to be extremely low, which is why most people are not optimistic about Harry. Although Harry is an orthodox third-order magician, everyone understands from various sources that the magic used by third-order magicians is actually limited to the current level 6 magic, even if they can multi-send and combine various magics, but they are still far from real large-scale magic, and Turkley is the top figure among third-order warriors, so it is naturally easy to deal with a magician.
Moreover, Harry is young, no matter how talented he is, his magic cultivation and combat experience are still shallow after all, how can he be able to defeat Tuclave, who has gone through countless baptisms of battle? The last time Harry fought with Basbat, everyone could see the battle on the ground very clearly, Harry could not have the upper hand at all, although in the end he ruined the life and death platform with an earth-shattering magic, but isn't Basba fine? Tuclette is a stronger existence than Basba, how can Harry defeat him?
It has to be said that it is no fluke that Grigory, the president of the Parsons Chamber of Commerce, can sit on the largest chamber of commerce in the empire, and he completely abandons the comparison of the strength of the two, and instead looks at this duel from other aspects.
First of all, Harry was fighting in place of the Knights, and Enboli, as the strongest of the Knights, did not come forward, which was the first suspicion. Harry dares to fight, he must rely on something, Tucley's strength is well known, but Harry's strength has always been vague, this is another doubt.
Secondly, although Grigory has not 'dealed' with Harry, but from the various information he has collected about Harry, it shows that this little magician never suffers from doing things, and he will definitely not lose face on stage without great certainty, and from the 'sexual' personality, he judges that Harry must have a trick.
Finally, that's Harry's performance in the ruins of the gods. What happened in the ruins of the gods? Most of the public only know the official version, which is good, but not detailed. Grigory also has a certain 'friendship' with several battle list masters, and he can know some secrets with a little inquiry. Although Harry himself said that he couldn't use that amazing magic again for the time being, no one would be surprised that he had another killer trick with similar power.
What's more, Grom lost a gold coin to buy Harry to win!
Originally, this gamble did not accept bets of less than 100 gold coins, but Grom personally placed the bet, how dare Grigoli not accept it? A gold coin is not much money, but it represents an attitude of Grom, he is optimistic about Harry!
So, the gamble offered unbelievable odds: Harry was 87 to 100 and Tucley was 98 to 100. Outside Grigori claimed that he had borne the cost of building the arena stand, and that he would share part of the cost of the gamble.
Anyway, as long as the bet is right, you can win gold coins, and if the bet is lost, no matter how high the odds are, it is useless, so except for some complaints, the nobles didn't say much. Turkere's odds are actually higher than Harry's, which makes everyone ecstatic, originally according to the comparison of the strength of the two, Turkere may not be able to reach the odds of 100 to 98. The vast majority of the bets are concentrated here in Turkere......
So what has Harry been doing lately?
There are still 6 days left before the day of the duel, Harry is not worried about the duel at all, and accompanies Tang Ling to enjoy a happy life at home, I have to say that Tang Ling is becoming more and more like a good wife and mother under the teaching of his mother, and he can change his 'flowers' to cook different meals for Harry every day, and recently she seems to be learning to knit 'wool' clothes, although the first result is a little unsuccessful, but it does not prevent Harry from wearing it all day long. However, Tang Ling's naughty personality has not disappeared, and from time to time he will also 'bully' Harry a little, letting him know that he knows the 'power' of the glasses 'girl'!
Lilith had lost interest in Harry for a while, but lately she had been coming to Harry for some reason, and Harry had to avoid it for a duel retreat. At the same time, I secretly wondered in my heart, what is this Lilith going to do?
Although Harry's current identity is not afraid of Lilith at all, this fear has been around for a long time, and it can't be faded at once, not to mention that he can't do anything to Lilith, after all, he still has to give Archduke Bernard a little face, so ...... Hide......
Keru accompanied Shanny to Harry today, and Harry saw that Shanny's eyes were a little red, as if she had cried, and suddenly wondered, could it be that Kiru bullied Shanny?
"Harry......" When Senny saw Harry, she was a little embarrassed and slurred.
"Hmm, what's the matter?" asked Harry, curiously.
"I ...... I want to find you...... Looking for you...... Borrow some money...... "Shanny finally explained the purpose of Harry's visit.
"......" Harry couldn't help but be speechless, but this borrowing money is not a big deal, the gold coins are not placed in Harry's heart now, he asked with some doubts, "Could it be that your father won't give you pocket money?"
"No!" Kiru saw that Shanny seemed to be a little embarrassed to speak, so he said in his place, "Shanny wants to borrow a large amount of money, and her little bit of 'spending' money is simply not enough." ”
"Oh!" Harry suddenly became interested, and asked, "What does Shanny want to do?"
"I ...... I want to buy a piece of land in the imperial capital......" Xianni hesitated for a moment, and simply said: "I want to build a super large school, concentrate all the civilian children in the imperial capital, and educate them for free according to their respective interests." ”
Compulsory education? Harry was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and praised Shanny's idea! It was remarkable that this kind princess could think of this, although she had not yet understood the true meaning of compulsory education, and she just wanted to do something for the children out of love, but it was not easy.
"That's a good idea! I wonder how much it would cost to build a school in the imperial capital that could accommodate 10,000 people studying at the same time?" Harry 'touched' his nose, the land in this imperial capital is very expensive, and the gold coins in his hand may not be enough.
"I don't know about that...... Also, Harry, I may not be able to repay the money you borrowed in the future......" Xianni's little face was slightly red, and she looked shy. is a dignified princess, but she told others that she might not borrow money and not pay it back, which is indeed a bit embarrassing. If it weren't for the fact that she and Harry had a very good relationship, she wouldn't have been able to open this mouth.
Is it still called borrowing money that can't be repaid? Harry was secretly amused.
However, he is not stingy with these gold coins, and in any case, Shanni is also his brother and sister, and he is also his friend. What's more, the establishment of a compulsory school is a very meaningful thing in itself, and since Shanni has proposed it, I have to help her complete it.
"Let's talk about the money!" Harry waved his hand and made a gesture that reassured Shanny, and then frowned, "As far as I know, the price of land in the imperial capital is very high, I have about 1.7 million gold coins in my hand, it may be enough to buy a small piece of land, but it is estimated that it is still far from building a large school." ”
"Ahh
"For example, this mansion given to me by your father is worth about 3 million gold coins! Even if this place is converted into a school, it will probably be able to accommodate about 1,000 people, and it is still far from your goal!" Harry made a visual analogy to let Shanny understand the situation. The difference between his mansion is roughly equivalent to an ordinary middle school on earth, and what Shannie wants to build is a school the size of a university.
"What then!" Sunny's eyes turned red, and she seemed to be about to cry again. It seems that she has a really deep affection for the children. "There are several small nurseries in the imperial capital, the houses are dilapidated, and one of the houses suddenly collapsed a corner yesterday, and several children were injured......"
These nurseries were built by the Empire as part of the Empire's patronage, and then all the commoners raised their own funds, with limited funds, and of course the quality was not too high, and after decades, the life span was about the same.
"Oh, why are you crying, I'll help you figure it out, and there's no urgency in this matter. Harry panicked, it was the first time he had seen her cry after knowing Shanny for so long.
"Yes, Sister Shannie, don't worry, I think Harry will find a way. Tang Ling held Xianni's little hand and comforted softly.
"I heard that this time I duel with Turkere, the Parsons Chamber of Commerce has opened another gamble!" Harry pondered for a while, looked up and said: "Press all my property, if we win, we will have 3 million gold coins, and then find your father to settle the matter, it will probably be enough to buy a piece of land first." ”
"I Prontera still have hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, and I can almost start building a school slowly!" Harry nodded, as if he thought it was a feasible plan.
"I told my father, but he said that the funds of the imperial treasury cannot be used at will, and the gold coins of the royal treasury have to support a large number of people, and there is not much to squeeze out......," Xianni replied weakly.
"That's okay, I'll mortgage this mansion and I can always borrow a few million, right? But then Harry frowned again: "But even if the school can be built, it will still have to hire teachers, stewards, handymen, etc., as well as the preparation and printing of teaching materials, all of which require a large amount of money, and it is not enough to support 10,000 students with Prontera's income of hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, plus repay the loan." ”
"Ahh She had thought Harry had more than 1 million gold coins. "What can I do then! 10,000 children is still my conservative estimate, but the actual number may be more......
Harry was also full of depression, Prondra's monthly income of hundreds of thousands was more than enough for him, and he and Tang Ling didn't have any extravagant habits, so the gold coin was just a number for him, and he kept it. Now that Sunny suddenly proposed to make compulsory education, he also felt that it was a very meaningful thing, and he had a more ambitious goal than Sunny! Since he had extra money, why didn't he do something meaningful...... It's really worthless! No wonder the Freedom Empire's annual income of hundreds of billions of gold coins is still poor every year!
"Looks like we're going to have to find a way to get some sponsorship!" Harry's brow furrowed, he had an idea, it was still a valuable experience left to him by Chen Liyun's memory.
"Sponsorship?" Kiru and Senni and even Tang Ling were surprised by the new word.
"Okay, I'll give it to me!" Harry patted his chest and said arrogantly, "I'll create the first compulsory education school in the Empire!"
That being said, things have to be done step by step. First of all, it is necessary to raise the first amount of funds for the construction of the school, and roughly calculated, it will need at least 5 million gold coins. So you must win the bet with Tuclé!
took out his remaining 1.7 million gold coins and let Kiru put all the pressure on himself. Once you win, then you will have a start-up capital of 3 million gold coins, and then you will mortgage your mansion and the first funds to buy land and build a school.
......
"What!" Grigory's teacup in his hand was almost gone, his eyes were round, and he asked in disbelief, "Then Harry pressed 1.7 million gold coins for himself!?"
"Yes! Captain Kiru personally placed a bet of 1.7 million gold coins on Harry's victory. ”
"This ...... That's a lot of money!" Grigory chuckled wryly. This kind of duel gambling game, the average nobleman is just to have a good time, and few people will put all their wealth on a gamble, after all, no one can say for sure. The real poor and outlaw gamblers don't have that many gold coins to bet, so the maximum bet received by the Parsons Chamber of Commerce is only a few hundred thousand, and most of them are between a few thousand and tens of thousands. This 1.7 million is definitely the biggest bet in history, and ordinary nobles can't take out this money.
"It's just 1.7 million gold coins, why should the president panic?" a person in charge asked strangely: "Even if he really wins, we will only earn more than 1 million gold coins less, and the betting funds in this gambling game are tens of millions, more than 1 million is really nothing, right?"
"More than 1 million is naturally nothing, I'm just curious why he is so sure that he can defeat Tuclei? After all, he is the fifth master in the battle rankings, although I can't see through this kid, but if I really want to put all the chips on him, I don't dare. Grigory is telling the truth, and he is not going to lose money at the odds he offers, regardless of the final outcome. If Turkere wins, the Parson Chamber of Commerce will not lose or earn at most, and Harry will win, and they will be able to make a lot of money, at least 10 million gold coins.
"If the president is not at ease, we will adjust the odds, so that no matter whether we win or lose, we can have millions of dollars. ”
"No, I've always trusted my instincts!" said Grigory, laughing thoughtfully. "Since he has come up with such a big deal, I should also pay a visit......
