Section 39 Bernard's visit

After seeing off Tang Jingfang and his party, the next day Harry welcomed another guest: Grand Duke Bernard!

Harry couldn't help but wonder how he could have attracted the Prime Minister of the Empire to visit him in person? Although Grand Duke Bernard was visiting in Weifu, this was a great face. Harry carefully recalled that he had not seen anything of interest lately, so he was also confused for a while.

However, with Lilith present, Harry had to pull his hood up so as not to be discovered. Only then did they invite the two into the hall.

Lilith's expression was a little strange, why did she keep making faces at herself for no reason? Look, here you go again! From the 'door' to the hall, Harry felt that Lilith's gaze never left him, and from time to time a threatening little gesture, or a playful smile staring at him, only made Harry feel 'hairy' and 'hairy' in his heart.

The Grand Duke of Bernard didn't seem to see it, and after finding a seat and sitting down, he opened his mouth to explain his intentions: "Little brother Harry, can you show the old man the telescope you gave His Majesty the Emperor a look at last time?"

"Telescope?" Harry suddenly realized, it turned out that he had come for this, it seemed that the Grand Duke had discovered the value of the telescope, so he came to visit him, "but there is another one, I'll get it." ”

Harry handed the telescope tube he had brought back last time to the Grand Duke of Bernard, "I wonder if the Prime Minister wants to see this, why don't we go to the roof, I will use my magic to install the lenses, and you can watch the scenery of the imperial capital." "Although this mansion in Kiru is not very high, it is enough to see most of the scenery of the imperial capital.

"That's not necessary, His Majesty the Emperor said that you know an alchemical material that can permanently replace magic lenses, but is it true?" asked the Grand Duke of Bernard, playing with the telescope.

"Yes, Master Prontera's 'Gate' Teleev will make a material that is so crystal clear that with a little polishing it can be mounted on this telescope without the need for magic lenses. Harry nodded, it seems that the prestige of 'Mendeleev' can be increased a lot.

The role of telescopes in military affairs is self-evident, and His Majesty the Emperor ignored the value of telescopes last time because he was confused. This time, when he came to his senses, he came to Harry to ask for it.

"Your Majesty wants to buy 100 telescopes from you, Brother Harry, but I don't know if it will be successful or not?"

"Of course there's no problem!" Harry agreed, the lens barrel can be 'handed over' to Kulenk or Jack to do, the glass is naturally the 'door' Deleev's business, he doesn't have to do anything, and he can make a lot of money, isn't it cool!" It's just that the price is ...... "Doing business with the emperor shouldn't be a loss to yourself."

"Does little brother Harry still want to take money?" Berner looked at Harry in surprise, and couldn't hide a smile in his eyes.

"Of course!" Could it be that the emperor is going to empty the white wolf from himself? To be honest, the cost of the telescope is not too high, and it is not a burden to make 100 of them and give them to Nilander, but why do you have to do things that are not beneficial. What's more, the telescope is also its own technological invention, how can Niland be so disrespectful of his intellectual property rights!

"Hehehe!" Grand Duke Bernard couldn't help laughing, "Actually, Your Majesty has already paid you!"

"Pay me?" Harry didn't quite understand, how did this Berner talk mysteriously, what an old ** cunning guy.

"Can this mansion afford 100 telescopes?" Berner said with a smile.

"Isn't this for Kiru and Shanny!" Harry glanced at him and said, "When will it change my remuneration, although Kiru and I are brothers, but my own brothers also have to settle accounts, right?" Besides, Kiru will also be His Majesty's 'daughter' in law sooner or later, a family, what does it matter to me?"

"Hee-hee!" Lilith was quite honest in front of his father, although she kept staring at Harry's hair, but she didn't move, and said with a smile: "Do you think that Shanny and Kiru will live here after they get married?

What does that mean? Harry was a little confused, wasn't this mansion for Kiru's Pony Mansion?

"When Her Highness gets married, Kiru will also live with her in the Princess's Mansion, which is yours Harry. The Grand Duke of Bernard explained: "Your Majesty's 'dealing' with you is not open for the time being, so you have sent you a house in the name of Kiru, are you still not satisfied?"

Harry suddenly said that there was nothing complicated in this world, and it was not a problem for Kiru to move to the princess's mansion. The Princess's Mansion is certainly much stronger than this mansion. But even so, this house is worth a lot of money, and it can't be taken without a million gold coins, even if the emperor wants to buy a telescope, there is no need to bleed so heavily, right?

But since the emperor is willing, why should he refuse, isn't it just 100 telescopes, it's a trivial matter. In two days, I will go back to Prontera to finalize this matter, and by the way, see how my business is, I think there should be at least 200,000 gold coins in the past few months.

Seeing Harry agree, Bernard smiled slightly, and continued, "Now that we're done with business, let's talk about something else." ”

As if relieved, Lilith cheered, stepped forward and grabbed Harry's hood, ripped it off, and said, "How long do you want to hide!

Harry was so stunned by Lilith's words that he forgot to dodge and took off his hood, revealing Harry's true colors.

"I haven't seen you in a few years, but you're so handsome!" Lilith teased, smiling.

Lilith actually knew her identity! The fact that she was a green-robed thief had been revealed! Harry was a little dazed, when did she 'reveal' her feet? The last time he broke up with Lilith, he could be sure that Lilith didn't know his identity.

Although Harry was surprised, he was not worried, since Berner first proposed the 'trade' of the telescope and then let Lilith expose him, the purpose was to reassure himself, and he would definitely not pursue the matter of the green-robed thief. And in addition to robbing a few merchants in Prontera, he didn't do anything harmful, although it had some impact on the reputation of the Imperial Prontera's security office, but it was not too serious, presumably Nilander didn't take it to heart.

"Uh......" Harry smiled awkwardly and asked, "I wonder how Lord Lilith knew that I was the green-robed thief?"

"Hmph! If it weren't for my father telling me that you were a green-robed thief, I'm afraid I'm still 'blinded' in the dark now!" Lilith made an angry look, but she looked very cute between her eyebrows, "I have been hiding under my nose for so long! No wonder you always avoided me the first time I saw you, it turned out that there was a ghost in my heart!"

"Lord Chancellor?" Harry looked at Berner suspiciously, how did he know he was a green-robed thief?

"Hehe, it's not that hard. The old man sorted out the information sent from various intelligence stations, and compared the appearance time and whereabouts of Harry and the green-robed thief, and it was not difficult to conclude that you were the green-robed thief. ”

"How can the Empire's intelligence stations pay attention to me?" Harry still wondered how he could be noticed by the intelligence officers.

"Young people are still acting too rashly. Archduke Bernard's eyes flashed, and he pointed at Harry: "If you keep a low profile all the way, you will naturally not let the intelligence officers notice, but think about it carefully, what have you done since you came out of the edge forest?"

Harry was shocked, Grand Duke Bernard even knew that he had come out of the fringe forest? Could it be that his affairs in Feiyang had also been exposed? No matter what, anyway, the prime minister would never come to ask him about himself today, and he would listen to it.

"You provoked a marquis, and now someone else is looking for you in the mercenary guild. Speaking of this, the corners of Bernard's mouth couldn't help but have a strange smile, and Harry also blushed, 'wanting' to explain but difficult to speak.

"After that, you helped Kiru get revenge, but we found out when we were investigating Kiru. Then you went to Spalding and happened to meet Caesar. Then there was a green-robed thief in Prontera!" The Grand Duke paused, "Well, if that's the case, it doesn't prove that you are a green-robed thief." However, you had a conflict with the second son of the Spear family at the 'door' of the auction house, and happened to be watched by the intelligence officers, which also proves that you stayed in Prontera when the green-robed thief appeared. ”

"After that, you were rounded up and fell into the hands of Basba, and you actually escaped, and Basba was seriously injured. Speaking of this, Berner couldn't help but look at Harry twice, and Lilith was also beautiful, and seemed to be a little 'excited'.

"Then the green-robed thief reappeared in Green City and disappeared, and you! arrived at Jifen shortly after. Berner continued: "You won the runner-up in the magic competition, which made the intelligence officers of the empire pay attention to you, and after following this clue, we know that when you entered Jifen, it coincided with the time when the green-robed thief disappeared in Grimm City." ”

"And your strange body and strange magic, it's not hard to prove that you are a green-robed thief. Bernard said, shaking his head.

"So, you're bringing Lilith to identify me today?" Harry finally understood, having left so many holes in his pocket. However, the biggest mistake still appeared in Kiru, if it weren't for his relationship with Sunny, how could Berner and Neelander think of investigating themselves? Although they left a lot of flaws, no one would notice them if they didn't specifically investigate them.

"Hmph, Daddy, Harry bullied the 'girl' when he was a thief in the green robe, you have to call the shots for the 'girl'!" Lilith yelled at Bernad.

Harry remembered how he had been...... Seem...... I attacked Lilith**, and I was a little uneasy at the moment.

"Hehe! Speaking of this, the old man is very strange, Harry, why did you choose to be a robber? And judging from the loot you have won, it is only a few hundred gold coins each time, what is your intention?"

Seeing that the Grand Duke did not pursue his teasing of Lilith, Harry felt a little relieved, presumably Lilith was also ashamed to say it, but the other party was a famous evil 'girl' in the imperial capital, and Harry was not sure.

"Speaking of this, I'm on fire!" Harry cried out, "Originally, I still had some gold coins in my hand, but I wouldn't be so bad as to need to rob for a living." It's all the abominable Caesar! vile and shameless hypocrites!"

Cursing fiercely, ignoring the Grand Duke's stunned eyes, Harry continued to spit bitterly: "Spalding's tuition fee is obviously only 800 gold coins, but he foolishly accepted me 2000. That's the little hard-earned money I saved from the fringe forest, and it's gone. Prime Minister, do you think that Prontera is expensive, and it costs a few gold coins a day to even live in a broken inn, and I am penniless, boy, how can I gain a foothold there without relying on robbery?"

"As for the chance to find the county lord, it was a complete misunderstanding!" Harry looked innocent and spread his hands: "I didn't know the identity of the county lord at the time, and speaking of which, the robbery was the one that I gained the least and contributed the most, and it was really a loss-making business." If I had known, I would have avoided it far away and not delayed the county lord's trip. ”

"I see!" Bernard smiled when he saw Harry's amusement. Lilith also came over at this time, blocking between Harry and Grand Duke Bernard, and hummed with a wrinkled little nose: "Even if I don't care about you about robbing money, it's not much anyway, but how should you calculate the account of bullying me? You dare to pinch me here!"

Lilith pointed to her little face with her right hand, but it was for the Grand Duke behind her, and her left hand was hidden to her ** breast, with a hint of cunning in her eyes, which made Harry not know how to parry for a while, so he had to snort, but it caused Lilith to snort dissatisfied.

"Good girl, forget about it!" "Grand Duke Bernard thought that Harry must have punished Lilith a little during the robbery, and eighty percent pinched Lilith's little face. "Anyway, Harry didn't do anything to you, didn't he apologize to you just now. ”

Harry quickly changed the subject and complained to the duke: "You have to talk to the Grand Knight of Caesar, how can he, as a knight, play such a despicable and shameless scheme? The fee for almost being caught is not counted for the time being, and then there is more than two years of interest or something, so it will cost 20,000 gold coins. ”

"Then you should compensate me too!" Lilith didn't seem ready to let Harry go.

"County Lord, you don't have anything to do, why do you want me to compensate you, at most, I can just give you back the gold coins that I robbed you in the first place, along with the principal and interest!" Harry deflated, God knows if this Lilith will open her mouth and ask for more than herself.

Lilith pointed to her face and said, "Who said I'm fine, look at it, you pinched my face last time, and now I still have scars!" Harry looked carefully, white and tender, where did the traces come from?, but seeing the threatening look in Lilith's eyes, Harry was not easy to refute, he absolutely believed that Lilith dared to shake the matter of his blasphemy to the Grand Duke, and then he would ......

Lilith continued: "You pinched, I have been embarrassed to meet people for a long time, so in this way, you also have to compensate me for the loss of my spirit, the cost of image damage, the cost of being frightened, the cost of ** 'masking', and the cost of almost suicide, and then there is more than two years of interest or something, so it will cost 200,000 gold coins!" He grimaced at Harry slyly, but his father didn't see it.

"II...... Two hundred thousand??" Harry was stunned for a moment, this little girl really dared to speak.

"Why! Isn't Miss Ben's face worth two hundred thousand?" asked Lilith, a little menacingly.

The Grand Duke Bernard looked a little strange from the sidelines, this Harry is usually not afraid of heaven and earth, even in the face of His Majesty Niland, he is not so submissive, how can he see his 'daughter' and give him food to death? Could it be that he has some handle in Lilith's hand? Thinking of this, the Grand Duke continued to watch with great interest and did not disturb.

"The county lord's face is naturally priceless, how can it be measured by money, it will only insult your identity as the county lord. Harry replied wryly.

"If you can speak, then you will owe this account first!" Lilith didn't mean to extort Harry's gold coins, and she couldn't help but be happy to see Harry praise herself.

Maybe it was because of the presence of the Grand Duke of Bernard, Lilith was quite concerned, and then she didn't make a fuss, but the big eyes never left Harry, her eyes flickered, and she didn't know what the hell she was doing, so she only made Harry break out in a cold sweat, and she was also a little absent-minded when talking to the Grand Duke of Bernard.

The purpose of the Grand Duke's visit had been achieved, and the two of them chattered for a while, and then they were ready to take their leave. Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief, and happily sent Lilith out of the door.

Lilith took advantage of Berner's lack of attention to leaning into Harry's ear and whispered, "Daddy is going to the palace tomorrow morning, and you come to my house! If you don't dare to come, hmph, I think both Kerr and Spear are interested in the true identity of the Green Robe!"

Harry was stunned when he heard this, what the hell is this little witch doing again? Now the Grand Duke is also asking for himself, and he has not pursued the fact that he was once a thief in the green robe, it is impossible for Lilith to catch herself as a toy, right? Harry didn't want to go, but Lilith's threatening words were still in his ears, although Kerr and Spear didn't take it seriously, but it was not a pleasant thing for someone to come to trouble all day long, and he might have to 'mix' in the imperial capital in the future, and it was not wise to offend three powerful people at once. In the spirit of the idea that it is a blessing rather than a curse, and that it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, Harry is also calm, and he will go to Lilith tomorrow to find out what she wants to do!
