Hearing the Governor's affectionate praise, Roland was both moved and ashamed.

"Helena, you have said me too well, but in fact these things are not my own work, I have not done enough for my compatriots on the island, and I am really worthy of their praise."

"I think what you need most at this moment is not to reflect, but to join the crowd and leave all your worries behind and have fun with your subjects!" Helena threw an encouraging look at Roland, grabbed him by the crook of his arm, and forcibly dragged him towards the crowd to join the parade of celebrations.

From early morning to midnight, the celebration lasted all day. On this special day, Roland became a wave in the sea of joy and enjoyed the taste of a wandering wreck. Helena, the enchantress, encouraged him to break into every tavern along the street, throwing silver money and inviting the people present to drink to their heart's content, winning the cheers and praise of the audience. After the fun is over, continue to the next tavern until you have all the taverns on the island.

Roland had never drunk so freely in his life as he did today, and he only remembered to get Sir Adric, who had always been cautious, drunk, and he himself was unconscious after that.

When I woke up, it was already early the next morning. Roland narrowed his eyes and adjusted to the sunlight through the cracks in the pink curtain and the headache from the hangover, and gradually regained consciousness. I was surprised to find myself lying on a large bed covered with a pink brocade quilt and a fragrant smell, which seemed to be a woman's boudoir, but it was so strange. He sat up jerkily from the bed, aware of a strand of sea-blue hair beside him, and followed the silky strands of hair to see Helena sleeping beside him. The first beauty in the North Bay, at the moment, lying on his side on his pillow, making a slight and even snoring sound, the beautiful sleeping face showed happiness and satisfaction from the heart, the skin exposed outside the brocade quilt glowed with a pearl-like soft luster, from the neck to the chest, a large area of snow-white and delicate skin was clearly visible on the red plum reflection, which was clearly a kiss mark planted when passion burst out.

Roland touched his bare upper body, trying to recall the beautiful moments of drunkenness, and gradually realized what had happened last night. He was hesitating to wake up Helena when a red ball of light suddenly appeared in front of him.

Roland held the ball of light to read the magic message, sighed helplessly, and had to dispel the idea of reliving the old dream, and hurriedly got up and dressed neatly. He walked to the door and turned back, leaned over to the bed, and kissed Helena gently on her beautiful sleeping face.

Roland deliberately slowed down his steps and the sound of the door closing, but Helena got up quickly after he went out, her face completely sleepy, and the smile on her lips showed a sly hint. His Excellency the current Governor of Koras Island, who was once a smash hit opera singer in Baigull Harbor and swept thousands of audiences, not only sang well, but also had impeccable acting skills. The only audience has left, and she doesn't need to pretend to be asleep to hide her embarrassment, the happiness in her heart makes her jump around on the bed like a naughty child, shouting excitedly, she didn't want to be happy and sad, there was a sudden tearing pain in her lower abdomen, and she fell on the bed with a "oops", only then did she realize that last night's drunken carnival left sequelae, her fingers stroked the sore spots, and her cheeks couldn't help but be hot.

Roland tiptoed downstairs, intending to sneak out of Helena's mansion, but as soon as he stepped out of the door, he bumped into a big bald head.

"Good morning, I don't seem to have come at the right time, didn't I spoil your interest?" Andrei smiled with a teasing twist.

Roland was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, and he really wanted to slap his bright skull, but considering that the other party was Nikita's father, he could only smile awkwardly and pretend that nothing happened.

Andre patted Roland's shoulder, and said pretending to be considerate: "Man, there will always be times when you can't help yourself, you kid, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense to Nikita." ”

How does this sound more like a threat? Roland secretly wiped a cold sweat. There was no way, he was caught by his father-in-law, so he had to force a smile and ask in a low voice: "You sent me a letter early in the morning, is there anything important?" ”

"Of course there's business, let's find a place to talk about it in detail."

"I'll treat you to breakfast, and we'll talk while we eat." Roland's face was full of flattery.

The two walked into a tavern down the street, where André ordered honey rolls and coffee, and with a wave of his hand, he unleashed the "Demon Duncan's Secret Room", which enveloped the room by separating eavesdropping and detecting spells.

"Roland, this is the delivery memorandum of the Koras Island Mystery Lock, you can take a look, if there is no problem, you can sign and accept." André handed Roland a thick dossier.

Roland hastily flipped through it, and the memorandum was divided into two parts, the first part detailed the instructions for the use of the puzzle lock and various functions, and the second part listed the construction budget and actual expenditures, and the accounts were very clear.

"The Lost Lock project cost a total of 3 million gold talers, and the government of Koras Island paid a down payment of 500,000 and borrowed 2.5 million from Beacon Hill Bank against the ten-year 'Lost Lock Concession' to pay off the balance of the project, no problem, right?"

Roland nodded his head with no objection.

"Actually, with the good financial situation of Kolas Island, there is no need to pay in installments, but we have discussed the issue of rapid expansion of the Mystery Project, and not all local governments have a large fiscal surplus like Kolas Island, so the installment model is still worth trying." André took a sip of his coffee and continued, "Last time we discussed the business after the completion of the lock, what I said to you?" The concession is very interested, and by observing the financing practice of the construction of the Far Eastern Railway, including myself, the eight chiefs of the Zocchio Alpha Federation believe that this financing model can be extended to the Mystery Project, so according to the agreement we reached in advance, Beacon Hill Bank will receive a 10-year concession for the Mystery Lock on Koras Island, but I have not cleared my mind on how to use this concession for profit, I would like to hear your opinion. ”

Roland swallowed the fish pie in his mouth, dipped his fingers in the water, and expertly wrote down lines and lines on the table.

"Mr. Andrey, let's first consider the question of if the government of Kolas Island borrows 2,500,000 gold tales from the bank against taxes, and pays off the principal and interest in 10 years at the interest rate of 8% on the commercial loan, on average, it will have to pay the bank every month...... About Quintal, right? ”

"Yes, but what does that mean?" Andrei asked rhetorically.

"Obviously, Lighthouse Bank is able to generate revenue from the business services of Koras Island Lock, and after all costs, as long as the average monthly net profit is not less than 30,332 gold talers, it is more profitable than a conventional loan method, and this is the basic goal of the franchise."
