Chapter 353: On the Verge of Collapse

Back in his bedroom, Baron Hejvi felt a little dizzy. At this point, he wished he had been locked up in the ice cellar again.

300,000 gold coins!

200,000 to the royal palace, 100,000 for benefits.

Originally, it was 500,000 gold coins, and he directly pressed it to 300,000 gold coins...... This is already Haijiwei's maximum price reduction, and if he presses it down, the white-faced fat man will definitely bounce back like a ball!

But how could he raise 300,000 gold coins in a short period of time? It is unlikely that he will be able to impose an excess tax, and it will take a week for a population of 200,000 or 300,000 to collect all the taxes.

He had thought about finding Zhu Tian and getting back the gold coins that had been lost in the vault, but he was thinking the same as Amanda now. Someone has just saved you on the front foot, and when you wake up, you will ask for gold coins?

If the gold coins in the vault were not lost, if Grace had not died, Baron Hajvi could directly take out the 300,000 gold coins.

It's too late, though.

So, the only way out now is to borrow money?

For a moment, a large number of figures flashed in his mind that he could borrow money: the little duke, the jeweler Jaang...... Finally, a blue-clothed figure appeared in his mind - the owner of the auction house!

Baron Hydgwick summoned the Chief of Guard, Amanda, back to his bedroom. "Do you know about the Childe family?" he asked Amanda.

With almost no hesitation, Amanda said, "The richest family on the continent, legend has it that half of the wealth on the road is in Child's vault. ”

"Then do you know what the owner of the Peace Town Auction House is called?"

Amanda frowned, with a look of memory on her face: "He only came to Peace Town in the last half month, originally, the auction house in Peace Town would only auction some trivial things such as rings and bracelets, and after he took the auction house down, what he auctioned was high-end goods." As for his name, I've kind of forgotten, but I'm sure this guy is rich!"

"He smells of the Childe family. ”

What does the Childe family smell like? Amanda was only stunned for a moment, and instantly reacted - it was the smell of money!

"So, sir, do you need me to get the owner of the auction house for you?"

Baron Hejvi nodded slowly. When Amanda was about to walk out of the room, Baron Hydgwick stopped him directly. "Wait," he said, as if he had thought of something, standing up, "I have to go myself." ”

......

Baron Hydgvi was dressed in a red and black striped coat, soft boots made of deerskin on his feet, an antique blue felt hat on his head, and a true aristocratic cane in his hand. And just like that, he and Amanda came to the door of the auction house.

The two little servants at the door saw such an extraordinary person, their eyes widened and they didn't know what to say, and they even forgot to do the chest ceremony. As Hygivi passed by them, he could see that they were only as tall as Baron Hygivi's chest.

I have to say that Baron Haijivi not only has a face that fascinates many young ladies and gentlemen, but his figure is also extremely majestic, so it is not surprising that the two little maids at the door made such a surprised appearance.

"You're the master of ceremonies at the auction, I know you. ”

"I'm flattered that the Baron still knows me, and you sit here for a while, and our boss will come at once. The orator introduced him to the reception room and walked out smiling.

Baron Hydgwick sat at the long table in the center, surveying his surroundings. Looking at the oil paintings on the surrounding walls, in an instant, two rays of light shot out of his eyes!

Where could Baron Hejvi, who had been cultivated in an aristocratic environment, fail to discern the value of those oil paintings? Unlike the ornaments hanging in the mayor's house, the oil paintings here are real works of art! The canvases reveal a sense of age.

Time represents money. A well-preserved, vintage oil painting represents a lot of money!

At this time, Baron Hejvi wanted to take off all the oil paintings on the wall and put them in the auction house downstairs to auction them.

You can definitely auction hundreds of thousands of gold coins!

After identifying the value of these oil paintings, he strengthened his inner guess!

The owner here must have something to do with the Childe family!

Just as Baron Hejvi was secretly looking forward to it, the middle-aged boss in blue civilian clothes walked in quickly. "I'm sorry to have kept the Baron waiting so long," he said with a smile as he walked, "and he respectfully gave a chest stroking before Baron Hygivi.

Baron Hydgvi nodded insistently. Amanda, the chief of security standing on the side, saluted on his behalf.

In general, nobles rarely performed chest strokes. After someone else has given a chest salute to the nobleman, a servant or attendant may return the salute on behalf of the nobleman. Of course, not everyone deserves to be courteous. At this time, Amanda's chest stroking also represents Baron Hyjvi's attitude. In this way, the middle-aged boss in front of him knew that Baron Haijivi had come with sincerity.

"Don't be so polite, I haven't had time to thank you before you helped me find Haysjia last time. ”

"I'm ashamed to hear the orator say that the noble lady walked home by herself, and our people only greeted us. ”

Baron Haijvi said with a smile: "Anyway, after the cooperation of the auction house, I hope that our friendship can be further improved!"

"It's natural, and I feel flattered by the Baron's words. ”

"I just heard from my entourage that your name is Rose, and I took the liberty of asking for your last name. ”

"Childe. The middle-aged boss smiled and said, "Ross Schild." ”

Sure enough, just like he thought! This person is really from the Childe family! After discovering this fact, Baron Hydgwick secretly considered his sentence, and when he was about to speak, the other party directly rushed to say: "If there is anything that can help Baron Hydgwick, I, Ross Child, will do my best." ”

Pretty!

What a beautiful thing this guy is saying!

Speaking comfortably, Baron Hydgwick really wanted to rush over and kiss him now, so that this "child" could feel the enthusiasm from the noble baron.

"Perhaps," the middle-aged boss said with a smile, "You can just name a number, and if I can do it, I'll do it for you right away!"

At this moment, Baron Hajvi was so excited that he almost lost the aristocratic etiquette. He wanted to jump directly on the table and have a deep and rainy ballroom dance directly with this middle-aged boss who knew him. "Do you know my purpose?" said Baron Hajvi, unconsciously touching his eagle nose.

"Everything about 'childe' is gold. The middle-aged boss uttered a phrase on the lips of a wandering poet. Then he sighed and said, "Alas, in fact, it is not difficult to guess, the nobles of the entire continent are looking for 'Child', and our royal family has become more and more greedy in recent years. ”

Listening to the other party's directness, Baron Haijivi didn't beat around the bush anymore, and said directly: "300,000 gold coins, one day." ”

The middle-aged boss named Roseschild on the other side said: "Three hundred thousand gold coins is not a problem, the problem is a day, huh...... Two days is okay?"

Baron Hydgvi shook his head.

"Then I can only say try, this is not guaranteed at all, after all, there have been so many things that have happened in the last two days. Our coffers have collapsed...... Don't believe me, my lord, I can take you directly to see it, and if you want to repair the collapsed vault, at least it will be winter. Well, there's ...... I remember that a few days ago, our caravan was detained by the Baron for 100,000 gold coins. ”

Baron Hydgvi's face flushed. "Is that your gold?" he asked.

"Not anymore, to be precise. ”

Baron Hajvi's mind suddenly remembered a blue-hat figure.

Slowly lowering his head, hiding the gloom in his eyes, Baron Hajvi saw the ten circles carved on the table in front of him. "What is this?" he said, pointing to the circle on the table.

"These are the ten cities around the town of peace, and it is worth mentioning that Lord Haijivi, your territory of Mokan City and Kiviles City, is also included, if I want to mobilize gold coins, I will naturally have to transfer them from these cities. ”

"It will indeed take more than two days," Baron Hydgwick said abruptly, and said in a deep tone, "Mr. Ross, please help me." ”

Ross Schild's ass also left the chair, and he slowly shook his head, "My lord, I'm not a magician. "Two days is the limit." Now there are 100,000 gold coins in the basement of the auction house, which I just arrived yesterday, and you can take them at any time before you have time to open the box for inspection, just leave your signature note. ”

"One hundred thousand gold coins, to the mayor's castle tomorrow morning. Another 200,000 ...... You should be transferred to Peace Town first. ”

Baron Hejvi left the auction house.

After an afternoon, Baron Hajvi did not go anywhere, but returned to the castle.

He stood and waited in front of a door, and finally, before dark, the wooden door opened in front of him. "Your Excellency, you've woken up. He smiled and said to the ceremonial officer, "I have something to discuss with you. ”

At this time, the ceremonial officer, who was sleeping in a daze, was visibly startled by the sudden appearance of the baron at the door. He held back the anxiety in his heart and the urge to urinate between his legs and said, "Lord Baron, tell me something quickly, it will be dark soon." ”

"Your Excellency, give me two days. ”

After two seconds of silence, the ceremonial officer said expressionlessly: "No, just like the adults said, now that horse thieves are rampant, one more day of stay will be a little more dangerous......" After speaking, regardless of what Baron Hygivi was going to say next, he directly bypassed the tall body in front of him.

The ceremonial officer said something in his mouth, but he felt it, and the urine between his legs was about to collapse out.

Baron Hydgvi stretched out his hand, stopped talking, then smiled wryly, and finally sighed in vain.

The next moment, he came to the rooftop.

When the night was dark, dark clouds covered everything, and the stars and moon were hidden behind the dark clouds.

Following his memory, Baron Hajvi groped his way from behind the gargoyle. Finally, a black iron sword appeared in his hand.

"Hamir," he said to the Black Iron Longsword, "I'm getting more and more incompetent. As he spoke, the black iron sword slashed a black light in the air in front of him. As if to vent his anger, he moved faster and faster, slashing and sweeping and stabbing.

In just a moment, he fell to his knees as if he were exhausted. Between heavy breaths, sweat streaked down his pale face and dripped to the ground.

With both hands in front of him, Baron Haijivi's shoulders unconsciously swayed, like a child, and his tone changed a little: "Haimir...... How I wish I could go back to my childhood with you. ”
