After the three-hour palace meeting, Todd walked down the hallway to the dormitory, led by Huggins, with his tired body.

"How's the griffon Henry's room and board?"

Huggins was stunned for a moment, then replied, "You are talking about the war beast, according to your orders, we arranged it in the stables of the Knights, and prepared the roast meat and dough, but the trouble was ......"

Todd stopped, turned his head and said, "It's attacking humans?"

"Not really, but all the horses in the stables were so frightened that they bit and kicked, and refused to stay where they were, and many of them ran near the headquarters and tried to climb the wall to get into the stables just to see the beast, and the guards tried to disperse them, but to no avail. ”

Todd waved his hand indifferently: "In two days, when the freshness passes, everything will be normal." ”

Huggins nodded yes.

After walking about a hundred meters, Todd glanced at the endless corridor and asked Huggins, "How long do we have to walk?"

"Fifteen minutes to walk up. ”

Todd was surprised and asked, "How big is this castle?"

"Two main buildings, five watchtowers, twelve watchtowers, thirty-six corridors, one front and one back, two royal gardens. ”

"So big?!"

"The whole palace is only half built. The Twilight Academy is designing one of the largest, most intricate, and most ornate fountains, the Twilight Craftsman Guild is building a full-length bronze statue of you, and the Merchant Guild has procured a variety of exotic beasts from all over the world to build a hunting ground in the palace garden. In addition to this, there are observatories, vineyards, racetracks, ......"

"Wait, wait!" Todd looked at the carpet in the corridor and then at the famous paintings hanging on the wall, and asked with some trouble, "It will cost a lot of money to build this palace, right? If I remember correctly, there is not so much money in the Holy Treasury!"

Huggins looked at the king with strange eyes and sighed, "Your Majesty, please come with me." ”

With that, Huggins changed the direction of his feet and walked towards the depths of the palace.

Todd followed him, through a wide slope below the palace, into a heavily guarded, bank-counter-like underground hall.

The appearance of the king caused everyone in the hall to stop what they were doing and bow in Todd's direction.

Nodding and smiling, Todd asked in a whisper, "What the hell is this place?"

"You'll find out soon. Huggins continued to walk forward.

After passing through a few more levels, Huggins stopped in front of a group of people with xenomorph marks on their chests and said to Todd, "Your Majesty, they need to verify the identity of the visitors to make sure that the entrants are not using abilities such as transformation, charm, and possession. Even if you have to be checked, please bear with me. ”

Todd said that he understood, after all, Lawrence's ability almost caused the collapse of the Dusk Kingdom, and now it is a matter of course to strengthen the inspection in this regard.

After passing the inspection, the two of them made their way deeper into the palace, through a strange corridor, and then opened a door made of heavy lead plates, and finally came to a labyrinth of underground corridors.

"What are you hiding under the palace?"

Before Huggins walked to a room, he took out the key in his arms, opened the secret lock in the door, and gently pushed the door open, the dazzling light inside made Todd, who had just adapted to the darkness, squint his eyes uncomfortably.

"This is?!"

The room was not large, no more than seven meters long and wide, and no more than three meters high, and there was a deep pool dug in the center of the room, in which all kinds of gold coins were piled up, which had overflowed out of the edge of the pool and were close to the roof. The flames rising from the walls shone on the surface of the coin, diffusing a bright golden light.

Todd stepped into the room, looked at the room full of gold coins, and didn't react for a long time.

Huggins glanced at the register outside the door and said to Todd: "There are eighty-seven thousand four hundred and thirty-five gold coins stored here, including the currency used by the Southern Empire and the coins used by the northern barbarians, which are converted into the currency of the diocese according to their weight and purity, which is almost equivalent to 90,000 gold yuan. ”

Todd finally came to his senses, turned his face to Huggins, and asked incredulously, "You mean, all this money belongs to me?"

The latter smiled helplessly, and while leading Todd out of the room, he continued down the corridor: "Your Majesty, I think you still haven't figured out the situation. ”

Huggins led Todd to the labyrinthine corridor outside the door, walked some distance forward, pointed to the countless doors on either side, and said to the latter, "Please find any door and look at the sign on the door." ”

Walking casually to a door, Todd looked carefully at the sign on the door, which read something like this.

"On October 13, 1172, it was packed and sealed, totaling 170,000 gold coins. 』

Switching to another door, Todd looked back at the sign.

"Sealed on October 16, 1172, 7,625 grams of special grade gemstones, 162,580 grams of first-class gemstones, and 55 boxes of other categories. 』

Todd took a deep breath and pointed to the door and asked Huggins, "How many rooms like this have been repaired?"

"A total of 120 rooms have been built, and 109 rooms are currently full and sealed, with gold coins, precious stones, utensils, antiques, everything ......"

Todd felt that his brain was a little insufficient: "Have you counted the total value of these belongings?"

Huggins thought for a moment and said, "The specific numbers and lists, only Lord Mary knows. But all the inventory is roughly equivalent to four million to five million Jin Xu, that is, forty million to fifty million silver moons, and this number is still growing rapidly. ”

"I've only been gone for half a year!What have you done?!Did you rob the Holy See's treasury?!"

Hearing the word 'robbery', Huggins said with a look of disdain: "Your Majesty, I used to think that robbery was a good errand, thinking that at the beginning, the Dusk West Knights were in the territory of the Silver Ring Kingdom, getting up early and greedy and working hard to rob those nobles, and after a toss, not to mention the dead and wounded soldiers, the money was only to grab hundreds of thousands of Jinxu." Look at the moment you are sitting in the castle and the wealth is flowing like water into your treasury. ”

Todd leaned his hand against the wall, his head buzzing, and asked in a low voice, "Then how did you get all this money?"

"Part of it comes from the operation of the royal estate, part from the commission of registered patents, part from your former treasury, and the rest is taxes and donations. ”

Huggins raised an eyebrow at Todd: "Your Majesty, when you come back this time, you may need to think carefully about how you should spend your money......"

The eastern suburbs of Twilight City, an immigrant area.

A knight in old armor sat in the corner of a shack with a ventilated wall, an ancient sword placed beside him.

The knight carefully opened the pot above the fire, looked at the steaming oatmeal inside, smelled the aroma of food mixed with dirt and wild vegetables in the air, and swallowed unconsciously.

Standing up and slowly pushing open the door beside him, the knight whispered to the elder lying on the bed, "Lord Gordon, the meal is ready. ”

The bearded elder got up from the bed and said weakly, "Harry, are you the only one?"

"The tavern in the city lacks a security guard, and when I heard that I had a lunch, Nerjay was going to make some extra money, and as for Caponodas and Deeds, they went out early in the morning, and before they left, they said that they had found a good way to make money......"

The elder grabbed the knight's wrist and said anxiously, "Then did you tell them ......?!"

Knight Harry patted the elder lightly on the arm, reassuring him, "Lord Gordon, please rest assured. Before they went out, I specifically instructed them to take down their badges, leave their weapons, and not to claim that they were from the Emissaries of the Holy Acropolis. ”

Gordon nodded vigorously: "That's right, when we are away, as a member of the envoy corps, we have to take into account the image of the Holy Acropolis." ”

Looking at the impassioned appearance of the head of the legation, Harry reminded him in a low voice, "My lord, we have no money again. ”

Gordon asked in surprise, "Didn't we just sell that mule and horse with luggage yesterday?!"

Harry crossed his fingers and calculated an account for the regimental commander: "We have been living here for a week, and the landlord asked us this morning for the next week's rent, the horses in the regiment need forage, and one of them had to find a veterinarian because of illness, and the grain store at the entrance of the village needs to pay off the previous credit, and there are ......."

"Well, just tell me directly, how much money is left, right?"

"Three silver moons, plus seventeen bronze stars. ”

"Hmm...... Five Bronze Stars can buy one rye bread and two Bronze Stars a handful of forage, so that we can still ......."

Harry interrupted Gordon's calculations: "Commander, that's not how the account is calculated, although the prices here are not as outrageous as in the city, they are definitely not cheap, a rye bread can be sold for twelve bronze stars. ”

Gordon, the head of the legations, opened his mouth, and finally only let out a long sigh.

At that moment, the door of the shack was vigorously pushed open, and a tall young man with calloused hands rushed into the room, shouting, "The King of Twilight is back!

Hearing this, Gordon's eyes widened, he jumped from the bed to the ground, grabbed the comer's shoulder, and asked excitedly, "Nelljay, is the King of Twilight really back?"

"It's true! The people of the city are celebrating the return of the king, and the royal family has issued an announcement that there will be a grand dinner the night after tomorrow to receive the mission of the Holy Acropolis!"

Gordon laughed and said, "We'll be able to meet King Twilight soon!

For the digestion of this news, the focus of Knight Harry and Captain Gordon is very different.

The former pulled Nierjie and walked to a corner of the room, confirming once again, "Is it really written in the announcement that it is a 'grand dinner'?"

Nellje's eyes lit up and he nodded desperately.

"Wine and meat?"

"There is wine and meat!"

Wiping the saliva from his mouth, Knight Harry said to Gordon, the commander, "My lord, I have a proposal. ”
