I thought about it for a moment and said seriously: "In the early days of taking over the guild, I did ask my stepfather for several huge sums of money for the operation of the guild, but now, I have my own industry and can be completely self-sufficient. ”

"Your estate?" The old duke smiled and said, "What are your properties, tell them and let the old man hear them." ”

I felt a little embarrassed, and peeked at the orc king, only to see that the orc king still had that helpless expression, but he was bowing his head slightly.

After thinking about it for a while, I said, "I have three properties, a jewelry shop in Balan City, a café in Balan City, and a new multinational restaurant in the capital city of Dasai. ”

After hearing this, the old duke smiled and said: "I know about cafes and multinational restaurants, but I didn't expect your kid to open a jewelry store, which sells expensive jewelry, no wonder you have the confidence to ensure self-sufficiency." ”

I smiled and didn't talk.

The Orc King shook his head and directly revealed the truth: "Old Duke, you really guessed wrong this time, although the jewelry store has a good income, it is far inferior to multinational restaurants and cafes, especially that cafe, which has long been regarded as a holy place by the people of Dasai City, and there will be a huge amount of capital inflow every day, and it is roughly estimated that the daily income of the café is comparable to the total daily income of several branches of the Iron Wolf Guild. ”

"So much!" The old duke's eyes lit up, and then he looked me up and down, and said: "I really didn't expect it, your kid is already very rich, it's all because your clothes blinded me, I said, since you have so much money, why do you still wear stalls?" ”

Seeing that his old man was puzzled, I shook the placket of my clothes, fiddled with the corners of my clothes, and said: "It's really worthy of a well-informed old-timer, I can see the door at a glance, that's right, this is indeed a stall with a dozen copper coins, but it is light and comfortable to wear, and it is quite durable, and the most important thing is that it is cheap!" ”

I said with a serious face: "As an adventurer, injury is the most common thing, once the injury is more, the clothes will be scrapped, if you buy brand clothing, or more expensive custom clothing, a piece will cost more than a dozen or even dozens of hundreds of gold coins, although I can afford this kind of consumption, but it is also distressing to look at, in order not to cause discomfort, I finally decided, or continue to wear the stall to the heart." ”

After hearing this, the old duke pursed his lips and said, "What about our little princess's clothes?" Shouldn't it be the same as you, wearing stalls? ”

"I don't know the price of her clothes," I said innocently: "Her clothes are always chosen by herself, I never interfere, the only thing that can be related to me is that she will ask me 'how' after picking out her clothes, and I usually only answer 'great'." ”

"Isn't that hypocrisy?" The old duke frowned and said, "You are perfunctory to our little princess!" ”

"Can it be done if it is not perfunctory?" I was excited for a while, and lost my voice: "You haven't lived with her, I don't know, but whenever she asks me how my clothes are, as long as I have a slight similarity or difference, she will immediately ask me where I don't look good, if I can answer it is fine, if I can't say it clearly, go home is a chatter, the words are not unpleasant, but the silent chatter, and she silently, you can't help listening, once you block your ears or hide, it will be even worse, and for several days afterward, she promises that as long as she sees you, she will silently talk about the same thing, unless she is relieved, Or maybe forget about it. ”

These words were almost complaining, and the orc king and the orc queen were very embarrassed to hear.

The old duke had no embarrassed expression, but was quite stunned, and then laughed, while laughing, he stroked his beard, and said: "This little Cagalli has the demeanor of my old wife when she was young!" ”

Prime Minister Lesta couldn't help but laugh, and echoed on the side: "Who said it wasn't, the old lady was not only a heroine back then, but also a strong king. ”

When he talked about his old wife, the old duke said angrily: "That woman, hey, there is no one in this Dasai City that she dare not say!" ”

After saying that, he slapped the table hard, looked at the orc king, and said, "You say, why is she so bold!" ”

The corners of the orc king's mouth twitched, and he was speechless.

The orc queen also smiled wryly.

Prime Minister Lesta pursed his lips, not daring to laugh out loud.

I sighed deeply and said in my heart: "Your status in Dasai City is already the highest peak, but doesn't your wife still catch you and scold you endlessly, not to mention other people whose status is not as good as yours." ”

After that, I listened to the old duke's complaints, and then changed the topic.

And the next topic is the three-legged black bear brought back by the orc king.

The old duke said: "Xiao Yi, your father-in-law is slamming the door, I just want to borrow that bear to ride for two days, and he won't let him." ”

"Maybe Your Majesty is worried that you will be hurt by the bear."

The old duke pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Just that black bear that is less than two meters? ”

Hey? Why do the old duke's words sound so awkward to me?

What do you mean by a bear that's less than two meters?

I remember that the little black bear was just over a meter old.

Thinking of this, I turned to the Orc King and gave him a puzzled look.

After a moment of puzzlement, the Orc King understood what I meant, and he said softly, "That little black bear is almost two meters tall. ”

"Wow!" I exclaimed, "That's too fast!" What do you feed him? ”

The orc king groaned a little and said, "It's just some ordinary meat, and goat's milk." ”

"It's ordinary," I muttered.

Immediately, I thought of a reason.

Although the Elven Forest is rich in resources, the black bear family still has to find a way to hunt all kinds of prey if they want to eat enough, although the black bear is the king of the forest, but no animal is willing to take the initiative to send death to their family to eat.

As a result, the King of the Forest, who eat a lot of food, can't eat meat every day, and in order to be fed, they have to eat some indigestible vegetation.

As a result, the growth of the baby black bear in the Elven Forest is not very fast.

But the Royal Palace of Dasai City is different.

What do you want here, several meals of meat a day are supplied, and the meat is diverse, the meat is delicious, plus the orc king and the orc queen's love for the little black bear, it is even more difficult to feed it in a different way, and it is difficult to become strong without getting fat.

Instead of directly responding to the old duke's complaints, I asked the orc king with a bitter face, "It's okay now, should it have turned into a waste bear?" ”

The Orc King nodded and said: "Don't worry, it's stronger than you think, there are special people to train it every day, and now it can already take on a fifth-level adventurer alone, but it still can't stand." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. ”

Then I said to the old duke, "You old man still don't think about that bear, don't look at it as it has only three legs, but it is the child of the king of the forest, and he is very proud in his bones, but not everyone can ride it." ”

"What," the old duke said unhappily, "Your Majesty, I can't do it?" You kid know, Your Majesty still peed in my arms back then! ”
