"300,000,000,000 Silver Coins ——————?!!!"

In the early morning of the summer twilight courtyard, waking up to the scream of Isaac's jaw falling to the ground, according to the decibel level of his loud voice, it should be known to everyone in the entire courtyard.

Of course, we can't forget that this is the summer twilight courtyard full of secret agents, and I'm afraid those people already know about it.

But Isaac didn't care about this, and rushed directly to Loren excitedly: "I said... Where did you get these?!"

"Don't get so excited, relax... Take it easy. Loren, who smiled bitterly, could only keep reassuring Isaac: "Look at Lusen and Ain, they... Uh......"

The black-haired wizard turned his head to see two people who were equally stunned, their expressions more excited than a megalomaniac.

In fact, when Loren first opened his mouth to explain, they didn't believe it at all—300 million silver coins... This number has gone far beyond the concept of Lusen and the little wizard, and is something on another level entirely.

But when the black-haired wizard opened the box full of gold bonds, they really realized that everything was real.

"It's just 300 million silver coins... And to be more precise, there is not so much money at all, and a considerable part of it is borrowed or used to pay off debts, which have to be deducted. ”

"How much?"

"Uh... I do the math. Looking at the three people staring at him nervously, the corners of Loren's mouth twitched... After deducting the 10 million borrowed from the Yode Chamber of Commerce, the 2 million repaid by the "black-rimmed glasses", and the 500,000 from the casino......

"Probably... There are 287.5 million left. ”

"......" Al Ain.

"......" Lusen.

"Hmm... That's a lot left, earned!" Isaac.

"All in all......" Loren stood up with his arms crossed and stood up a little helplessly: "First of all, I want to state that this money does not belong to me alone, but to our common property - to put it more bluntly, it is our future research funds, which will be used to conduct certain research that will obviously not receive any sponsorship, or that we do not plan to publish for the time being." ”

This is the result of Loren's thinking for a long time; 300 million silver coins is indeed a huge amount of money, but it is also relatively - if it is only for living expenses, according to the consumption level of the imperial capital, he will live more than ten lifetimes, but if he wants to do something... That's not enough money.

For example, the Corona family in Eberden invests tens of millions of dollars in research in various disciplines every year, so that the Corona family, whose wealth is not under the Bellini family, has never been able to expand their business to compete with other free aristocrats.

Huge sums of money, lots of resources... These innate factors, which greatly limited the research process of wizards, were the reason why Ebolden was born and made the wizards of the imperial capital have to join forces with the Chamber of Commerce.

For the little wizard and Isaac, it was a different story altogether - the Holy Blood Potion and the experience in Crucible convinced Isaac that he had to be as cautious as possible about his research, or at least not show off as unscrupulously as he used to.

Especially after he got the "Last Knowledge" from the Dragonlord's Tower... The black-haired wizard had similar fears, Isaac's knowledge had far exceeded the upper limit of this generation, and the consequences of getting out of control would be unimaginable.

The destruction of the Dragon Kingdom is still vivid in my mind!

"Secondly, if we want to get these funds, we have to get permission from one person. ”

"Permission, whose permission?"

"Lena de Salion. The black-haired wizard shrugged.

"That goblin?!"

Isaac was immediately furious, with an inexplicable and angry expression: "Why?!"

"Because I didn't win this money back alone, the two of us are in a big game together, and theoretically we should give her at least half of it. Loren patiently "explained":

"So if you don't mind giving her half of the money, I don't care......"

"A full 150 million for that witch, unless I'm dead!" Isaac blushed and shook his head desperately, "What permission does she want......?

"I'm not talking about how to take the money... Think about it, with so much money that can be freely mobilized, how much research can we accomplish, and maybe the next big plan to change the world starts with these funds!"

"But what would she do with the money if she gave it to the goblin? a lot of clothes that she couldn't wear, a lot of colorful glass and stones... The results of world-changing research have become a luxury for women to show off their pleasures, and our world is really enlightened and progressive!"

"She just wants to exchange this 500 million for one thing. Loren raised the corners of his mouth meaningfully and glanced at the small wizard who was also smiling.

"Change something, what?"

"Your seat at the Wizarding Academy and... Your sincerest apologies. The black-haired wizard sighed and patted Isaac lightly on the shoulder, "As long as you are willing to apologize, she will promise that everything will be clear, and she will allow us to use these funds freely." ”

"I apologize... Why do you want me to apologize?" Isaac had a "you're crazy" expression: "It's obvious that the demon girl took the initiative to provoke ......"

"Ahem, cough, cough ——!!"

The gray-eyed young man on the side forced a smile and coughed a few times, and gently patted the alley containing gold bonds.

"What's the matter, the cold I got in Broken Boundary Mountain hasn't healed yet?"

Slumped shoulders, Isaac rolled his eyes at him and looked at his three best friends with a sad expression, all staring at him with a look of hope in his eyes......

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and apologize to her! It's a sacrifice to be made for the advancement and development of the wizarding world... And you're not allowed to tell anyone about it!"

"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone. The little wizard smiled so happily that he didn't forget to sneak a glance at Loren, his blue eyes curled into a crescent moon.

Of course, you have to steal fun for such an interesting thing......

"That demon girl cough cough cough... I mean, Miss Lena de Salion is going to the Dome early tomorrow morning, and she's in the room next to us. ”

Loren hooked the corners of his mouth and looked at Isaac expectantly: "So if you are really ready to impress this beautiful girl with sincerity, or simply win her heart... I mean forgiveness, now is the best time to do it!"

"Well... But you'd better not expect too much. Isaac had a helpless look on his face... This made the three of Loren laugh even more happily, because this kind of expression usually appeared on the face of the person who was arguing with this megalomaniac.

Isaac, with his head drooping, took a deep breath and turned to walk towards the next room.

Loren, who was smiling, glanced at the gray-eyed boy and the little wizard and nodded to each other.

"Do you think Isaac will find out......" Lusen was still a little uneasy: "It always feels a little hanging." ”

"It doesn't matter if you succeed or not, Miss Lena's debts have been paid anyway, and she has promised me that she is willing to testify for Master Lussac. ”

Loren shrugged, his eyes flickering: "Now that the human and physical evidence have been gathered, the key to the next issue is the confession of Master Lussac Corvo himself - as long as he can bite himself to the death, it is definitely not intentional, and there are more people from the Apothecary Guild and the Wizarding Academy to testify in court, everything will be fine!"

"Will it go so well?" Aine looked worried, "If it fails... The Apothecary's Guild and the Wizarding Academy will also be implicated, right?"

"That's right, but if Master Lussac is convicted, the consequences they will bear will be even more serious!" The black-haired wizard narrowed his eyes and crossed his fingers: "And there are also the Imperial Wizard Advisors on our side, and His Highness Brandon has leveled Justice Victor... This game is basically nine out of ten. ”

"So... Are you going to find Master Lussac?" asked the gray-eyed boy.

"That's right, let him let go of his worries and baggage as much as possible, and dress himself up like a poor man... Only in this way can you get enough sympathy at the time of trial. Loren's expression gradually became solemn:

"It's up to you to make this last stand!"
