"Because this morning, I received a notice from the Imperial Staff Headquarters. Let me get in touch with you as soon as possible to discuss the transaction. They pay for it."

"I see. So...... It's not you who really want to buy the blueprints for my magic guns, but the staff headquarters?"

"Yes"

"Let me ask one more question, Lord City, the Imperial Staff Headquarters you are talking about is the Staff Headquarters of your Red Cloud Empire, right?"

"That's right."

"So, I can understand that it is your Red Cloud Empire that wants to buy my blueprints?"

"Hmm...... It can be understood this way. After all, the General Staff Headquarters is one of the central departments of our empire."

Hearing this, Ninety-Nine showed a wicked smile in his heart:

"Hmph~ That's great. Originally, I was still worried that the Red Cloud Empire had not had a high-level magic weapon design for so many years because the upper echelons of the country deliberately concealed it. ”

"I'm afraid that after selling the blueprints, I will be targeted by the upper echelons of the Red Cloud Empire."

"But since it's the upper echelons who want to buy it, then I don't need to worry."

"Oh, in that case, I'm relieved. I don't know at what price the General Staff Headquarters plans to buy my blueprints?" Pseudo-Lori asked calmly.

Although his heart was about to jump excitedly, Ninety-Nine still maintained the reserve and calmness of an adult.

"Uh......" Li Wenzheng was a little embarrassed by the question of ninety-nine. Because what Ninety-Nine said was the same as asking the shopkeeper, 'How much did you get in?'

Although under normal circumstances, merchants will find a reason to avoid it, or quote a fake purchase price to perfunctory this kind of customer.

But the guest in front of him belongs to the kind of existence that must not be perfunctory.

She is the king of the night, the savior of her own son, and the hero of the city.

"What to do? How to answer? ”

- Ninety-Nine, what do you think is the right price?

"No, what if what she means now is 'how much is the staff headquarters at most'? Don't you have to answer it yourself? ”

"So, do you want to tell a lie and give a fake budget to perfunctory her?"

"No, what if I get discovered......

"I'm not a businessman now, I'm a soldier who is in danger!"

【Hidden End】

"In the unlikely event that the transaction fails because of your own evasion, or because you have quoted a false price......

[Hide]

"For example, fake prices are spotted. Then the ...... who refused to trade on the grounds of 'insincerity'" Li Wenzheng made up a picture in his mind at this moment: the majestic ninety-nine crossed Erlang's legs, sat there upright, and then tilted his head and looked down, looking at himself with disgust in his eyes, and coldly refused: "I'm sorry, I don't want to do business with people who don't trust me." ”

"If the staff headquarters blames it...... Tsk......"

Time slipped away second by second, and the beads of sweat on the city lord's sideburns became more and more.

"In that case, let alone my official title, I'm afraid I won't even have to play with my own net worth and life......"

【Hidden End】

Thinking of this, Li Wenzheng gritted his teeth and his heart was horizontal:

"Hey, forget it, it's not my money anyway. Go ahead! ”

"It's not my problem that I don't have a budget anyway."

After some psychological struggle, the city lord raised a smile that looked down on life and death, and said unhurriedly, "Thirty million emperor gold coins."

Burst!

Hearing this astronomical number, the Warcraft Niang, who had been sitting next to her and drinking tea quietly, squirted out at that time.

The little black tea left in the cup spilled out of the cup along the wall of the cup, splashing her face.

"Three-three-three-three-million?!"

Gennai's heart was instantly clouded.

But soon, she realized her gaffe.

She blushed and immediately put the teacup back in the saucer as she activated her cleansing magic to remove all the water stains around her.

Then, he lowered his head and apologized with tears in his eyes, "Yes... Yes, I'm sorry."

The scared look brought a touch of contrast to this quiet girl who had been silent since she entered the house.

"Okay, it's okay, no need to apologize." Ninety-nine immediately smiled and comforted. At the same time, he leaned out of the completely transparent ghost claw, gently touched Gennai's head, and said, "I was actually scared by this money, my sister is really cute~"

Genna, who lowered her head, blushed slightly on her face.

"Yes, Genna-sama doesn't need to apologize." The city lord was relieved, "Even if it were me, when I suddenly heard this price, it must be like this."

The city lord smiled so kindly and calmly. But in fact, his heart is full of dances.

Because he found that the Nightless Clan in front of him didn't look half surprised after hearing this price.

"Obviously, the servants are so shocked, but she is so calm, it seems that the princess must be right."

While thinking about it, Li Wenzheng continued, "So Lord Ninety-Nine, do you agree to this transaction?"

"Of course I agree, but let me take the liberty of asking: Isn't this 30 million the highest price that the staff headquarters can offer?"

"Yes."

"Uh...... Lord of the City, aren't you afraid of losing money in doing this business?" Ninety-Nine asked with a wicked smile.

"Heh, you are my benefactor, and I don't want to hide anything from you."

Ninety-nine's eyes lit up slightly, as if he was a little surprised, but soon, he regained his calm appearance and smiled, "This really torments me, but I don't need that much money. Why don't you give me the status of a marquis, and I can give the blueprints to your empire for free."

"Huh?!" As soon as these words came out, not only Li Wenzheng was stunned, but also Xuan Nai and the housekeeper were shocked.

"Ninety-Nine...... You're not kidding." Li Wenzheng frowned and looked at Ninety-Nine in puzzlement.

"Uh, did I say something weird? Isn't 30 million Emperor Gold coins enough to buy the status of a marquis?"

"Enough is enough. But you're a bit of a loss." The city lord smiled bitterly.

"How?" Ninety-nine was curious.

Looking at the curious young nun in front of him, Li Wenzheng was about to answer, but at this moment, the old butler Chu De suddenly replied, "Because 30 million emperor gold coins is enough for you to buy a hereditary duke's identity."

"And if it's just a marquis, 10,000 emperor gold coins will be enough." Qiu De said respectfully, "With your ability, you should be able to earn enough money (10,000 Emperor Gold Coins) in 2 months. Therefore, I don't think you need to sell your precious blueprints for the sake of being a marquis."

After speaking, the butler turned around and bowed to the city lord, "I'm sorry, sir, please forgive me for trespassing. But let me answer this kind of thing."

Li Wenzheng smiled bitterly, and then nodded gratefully.

As a city lord in a remote town, it is best not to participate in such a matter of buying and selling official positions, let alone answer.

Because he may be convicted, for the safety of Li Wenzheng, the housekeeper Qiu De will intervene at this moment.
