Tsukuba City.

The 'old friend' of the Garan Courtyard was in the territory of Ziliva, and on this day once again welcomed one of the old acquaintances that the Marquis least wanted to see.

A group of cavalry carrying the banner of the Garan Court Guild rushed to the bottom of the city gate before tightening the reins and stopping.

The leader was Vice President Tsui, who was dressed in military uniform, and he got off the horse skillfully, because the purpose of this time was not to roll in the mud, and he was wearing a specially customized military uniform.

After all, it was originally for the sake of active duty soldiers.

This military uniform dress is worn on the body without any pretentiousness, just like the heroic posture taken in the promotional photo.

It's just that the aura of the eleven 'guards' behind him didn't keep up, and the picture gives people a little regret.

The imposing Vice President Cui strode into the other party's mansion and led the guard chief to drive straight into the other party's mansion, because of the relationship of the last 'house raid', he came to the other party's office study with ease, "Long sparse greetings, Qi Liwa!" Say hello.

In the course of communicating with the Council of the Round Table, the landland nobleman also knew that this costume was the military dress of the adventurer.

It's just that his home was suddenly broken into by a team of people in military uniforms, especially the loud sound of military boots... Zilivahou couldn't help but recall that humiliating and helpless time, and Emerald was one of the adventurers who led the team to take down his family's Garan Courtyard adventurers.

Seeing Emerald in a military uniform suddenly attack, Ziliwa couldn't help but tremble, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground uncontrollably.

"You... What are you going to do... Do!? ”

Looking at the trembling Marquis, Andrei, as the head of the Knights under his command, stepped forward.

It's just that the terrifying force that emanates from Cui's body makes it unable to move.

This is a small skill of adventurers, mobilizing MP without releasing skills, and letting MP empty consumption volatilize to form an 'aura'.

"Good day, Marquis Ziliva." Cui greeted each other gracefully, and then sat down on a sofa with the one in his own house, looking at the vigilant Ziliwa Hou couldn't help but smile contemptuously, but it was well hidden and not discovered by the other party's gaze.

"There may have been some unpleasant misunderstanding between us, but believe me, I'm not here to look back on the unpleasant past."

When Cui said this, Ziliva almost choked.

Misunderstand?

His Tsukuba Territory, which once owned the 'City of Knowledge', was subjected to 'revenge' only after the Free Cities League Ishar signed a humiliating (now only he thinks so) treaty with the Round Table Council.

First of all, the physical books of knowledge left by the sages of the past were looted.

Immediately afterwards, the knowledgeable groups such as scholars and mentors who live here have also been taken away by the 'hijacking (high salary, excellent research environment, access to cutting-edge scientific research projects)'.

Although some of the earthlings later migrated out of the mountains due to the goblin army.

But after all, these are just mud legs, and they are not at the same level as those scholars who inherit knowledge, and they can't make up for the loss of vitality in the territory at all.

"I came all the way just now and witnessed the barren and depressed scene of your territory, which really makes people feel distressed."

Hearing this, Zilivahou almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and almost smashed the teacup on the desk and Tsui's head, but fortunately his reason stopped him.

(And it's not because of the good things you bastards did!?) If it weren't for you bastards! Will my territory become like this!? ）

Gripping his hands stiffly, An held back his anger, and Qiliwa asked with a smile: "I don't know what your guild is doing when you come to the cold house this time?" If you can help something, you can help without saying a word, after all, our Free City Alliance Istar and the Council of the Round Table have a deep friendship born from blood and fire. ”

It was as if it were true.

I don't know who lured the goblin army to this place as a battlefield, and deliberately indulged the recovered goblin giants, inducing them to attack and crash down the entire city.

The Garan Courtyard and the Tsiliwahou are not half a friendship at all.

"Of course it's not something that makes it difficult for you, Marquis." Cui didn't seem to see the other party's clenched hands, as if talking with an old acquaintance with a smile and said, "This! We have recently had a major project in the Council of the Round Table, issuing a certain batch of construction bonds for a period of five and ten years, and I suppose a shrewd lord like you, Marquis, must have sensed the potential for a huge benefit, right? ”

(You're here to fight the autumn wind!?) ）

Chiliwahou's heart "chuckled-" that Akihabara announced yesterday that he would raise funds through the issuance of bonds for the construction of the 'new industrial zone', and he had already learned about it through the eyeliner he had planted in Akihabara.

But he didn't think that he would be approached the next day, and it was the Garan Courtyard that he didn't deal with the most.

It's true... A chapter of accidents.

Of course, this is the subjective feeling of Ziliwahou, and from the perspective of a third-person who has nothing to do with it, it is still a bit affordable and profitable.

It's not that Cui deliberately came to trouble this 'old acquaintance' again.

It is just that the capital increase stocks bundled with the Treasury bonds of the Round Table Council are aimed at risk-takers and landdoers who want to invest.

Emerald's current actions are aimed at seat holders within the Round Table Council.

A total of twenty-four noble lords in the free city of Ishar must choose a lord from each guild, and draw lots to draw a lord to be responsible for attracting investment from the target.

If you don't meet your goal of raising money, you have to buy a certain share of the bond.

In other words, Sojiro Seda and Izak don't care much about investment returns.

But Daolong, Karasin, and Lodrik don't think so, although they promised a guaranteed capital injection of 30 million gold coins, but what is wrong with 30 million? Why invest in an internal bond with an annual interest rate of only 1.8%?

Know that there is a limit to the resources that can be mobilized.

For example, having a hundred copies of resources.

The proportion of movable and immovable property, the executive power of the organization, and other factors, the resources that can be mobilized may be 20, 50, or 70.

But definitely not beyond the limit of a hundred.

In addition, the weapons and equipment worn on the body are equivalent to the existence of real estate for the adventurer, so the limit of the part of the resources that can really be mobilized is about sixty parts.

The 'resource' of the Garan Courtyard had reached the level of 'fifty shares' when the silver leaf heavy manufacturing capital was increased.

As the leaders of the guild, Cui and Arai don't want to add any more pressure to the fragile financial chain.

Therefore, he is very concerned about this matter, and strives not to use the resources of the guild again.

On the other hand, the Marquis of Ansel, who had always had a good relationship with the Garan Court, was happily discussing the purchase of the Treasury bonds and concessions of the Council of the Round Table, and this was the drawing of the 'old friend' Marquis Ziliva.

After all, it is also a relationship that tears the face.

That's why Cui just now broke into the other party's study in a military uniform and with a tough posture to ask for capital injection.

Fortunately, the other party threatened the former Jiwei.

The Marquis of Ziliva, though reluctant, agreed to subscribe for a bond of three million gold coins.

After all, it's uncertain whether the guy in the military uniform in front of him will return with a heavily armed team for a second round of deliberations after not receiving a satisfactory answer.

It is gratifying to note that the friendship between the Council of the Round Table and the Free Cities League Istal has withstood the test.

In the end, Cui, Daolong, Karasin, and Loderick all got their wish, and they did not have to bear the share of the 30 million bonds, and they all looked happy and cheered for the "great cooperative relationship of our alliance".

The side of the Free City Alliance Ishal who subscribed for the bonds this time cannot be said to be at a loss.

In the midst of everyone's joy, the only one who was depressed was the 'old acquaintance' of the Garan Courtyard, Marquis Ziliva himself.
