Chapter 162: Loot, Loot
Charles didn't understand why the bookmakers were using the house "allotted" to him as a warehouse for the income.
"Well, I guess there are three reasons for this problem. Elizabeth explained to Charles.
"The first is that you're still a kid, so they think you're in control and won't divulge the secret. The rest of the pretending nobles were basically over eighteen years old. ”
"The second thing is that the few of them are wary of each other, and they all want to put the gold coins where they can see them. ”
"The third reason, I guess, is that someone snatched the gold coins for convenience. ”
Although Charles still has a lot of questions to ask, such as those demonic things. But this was not the place to ask questions, and he could only ask again.
The guards and demons in the courtyard of the mansion had been cleared, and the chests containing gold coins had been moved to places that had not been touched by the battle, and were now being counted by the people of the Biberach kingdom together with the caravans.
Elizabeth said to Charles, "According to the agreement I made with Rose, we will take eighty percent of the money, and then we will provide Rose with enough special crystals." ”
Then she said: "This time, Rose's primary goal is to strike hard at the nobles in the southeast of the kingdom and clean up these nobles who are ready to secretly sign the 'Southeast Mutual Protection Treaty'. ”
At this time, Elizabeth rubbed Charles's head, smiled and asked, "Do you know how this 'Southeast Mutual Protection Treaty' came about?"
Charles shook his head.
Elizabeth whispered, "It is said to be related to your good friend Diana, who was passing by with Wolf a few months ago......"
Now Charles's cold sweat came out, it seems that Diana is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Elizabeth continued: "Rose's second goal is to stabilize the commercial order in Mason City, she wants to extinguish the current trend of speculating on crystals, but also to ensure the stability of merchants, and prepare for the next generation of the royal family to take over Mason City." ”
"As for money, she doesn't really take it very seriously. ”
Seeing Charles nodding his head, Elizabeth continued to teach on the spot, "Charles, when dealing with a thing, you will find that there will be a variety of contradictions in things or processes. At this time, you need to find the main contradiction that dominates and plays a role in prescribing or influencing other contradictions. ”
In this case, the main conflict for Rose was the conflict between the royal family and the local nobility, and money was secondary. But for us, money is the main thing. So, in this incident, we were able to effectively unite our two sides. ”
Charles followed Elizabeth to the house as he refreshed his old days.
Almost everyone in the caravan, including Charles, thought at first that this time it was a vote and run. As a result, no one expected that this time Elizabeth would directly hook up with the royal family. However, doing business with the royal family is still very profitable, and now the people in the caravan are counting the gold coins in the courtyard.
Everyone has merit and hard work, and now everyone is waiting to count the money and talk about the reward for meritorious deeds. Although the operation was delayed for nearly a month, it was nothing in the face of this bonus.
Even Alfred Hufen, who was a traveler, got a bookkeeping errand.
Alfred, who was recording the number of gold coins, saw Charles's eyes lit up, and he went behind enemy lines to find out the news or something, which was exciting to think about.
Everyone was concerned about the gold coins, so Elizabeth didn't bother about it, and she took Charles to the bedroom where Charles lived before.
There were a lot of people in the bedroom now, and when Charles walked in, he found that the hole that had just been blown up had been covered with curtains, Aunt Marcie was packing her belongings in her room, Nessalio and Mordred were on the sofa in the master bedroom, and Artoria didn't know where to go.
Nessario, who was on annual leave, had already taken off her armor and put on a long dress with a black background and orange patterns. She was sitting on the couch, holding Mordred and talking to her. Mordred, on the other hand, was curious about the horns on Nysario's head, and her eyes looked at her head from time to time.
Seeing Charles come in, Nysario pointed to the room where Mordred was staying during this time and said, "Charles, you go and take out the storybook that Mordred listened to before going to bed." ”
Charles tilted his head, unclear about the situation. Nessario waved at him impatiently, "Go, I'm going to tell Mordred a story." ”
Elizabeth had already gone to chat with Marcy, and Charles was afraid that the dragon would be a great god that he couldn't afford to provoke, so he decided to be obedient first.
So Charles walked towards Mordred's room, which had no lock at the door, and he pushed it in.
"With such a beautiful back, it's a shame not to shave and cup. "That's what Charles thought before he closed the door.
Then he glared at Nesario, who hadn't told her that Artoria was changing her clothes inside.
"Tsk......" didn't see the scene he expected, and Nesario felt a little bored.
A short time later, Artoria, dressed in a white evening dress she had bought at auction, walked out of the room.
"Don't play tricks on Charles. There was an angry look on her face.
Charles breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her goofy hair pointing at Nessalio, it seemed that she was not angry with herself.
"Tsk...... I thought you would react the same way as a normal woman. Nessalio pouted.
Artoria looked at Nysario helplessly, "He's still a child, what do I have to do with him." ”
Charles sat down obediently and behaved like a normal eight-year-old.
Mordred, who was also a child, looked at Artoria at this time, her eyes were full of shining stars, and her small mouth was also round.
Elizabeth and Marcie also came out of the room.
Elizabeth looked at Artoria in full costume and couldn't help but say, "Sister, are you going on a blind date?"
Marcie was also stunned, and she said, "Big girl, you are really better than a big box of gold coins." ”
Mordred doesn't know any adjectives, she just shouts "Mommy is good-looking!"
"Sure enough. Nessario nodded and said, "I'll just say that this dress fits you best, looks the best, and Leif will definitely break it if you wear it." Or Charles has the vision, and after buying this dress, he named it to you. However, there are still a few pieces of jewelry missing, and it looks better with the right jewelry. ”
Charles was obediently looking at the crystal lamp on the ceiling, studying how many catties the lamp was, so as to avoid the meaningless and somewhat frightened gaze of a certain elf princess.
