Thanks to the book friend 'The First Emperor * Tianxia' 2oo starting point coin reward.

The price of a drop of totem liquid is 4ooo gold coins, which is basically equal to half a year's tax revenue in a town like Lol Cardin.

The reason why it can be sold at such a sky-high price is because of the special nature of totem liquid, in addition to being used as a strategic material, it can also be used to improve one's career with the help of bards or priests of the Holy Light.

But that was after the operation of the auction house, and the annual scarcity of the amount of totem liquid.

Rare things are expensive, and similar principles are very common in this world.

Pressed for time. Yasuo didn't have the time to run an auction filled with a water bladder totem liquid, nor did he have the patience to sell a dozen or twenty drops a year.

So instead of auctioning, it is better to use these totem liquids as collateral. Moreover, there is another calculation in Yasuo's heart, the Ogre Alliance of the Forest of Thorns is about to launch an all-out war against the ancient country. The first one is Duanmu City, and the second one is Taigu City.

Rather than give this wealth to the ogre, it is better to leave it to Loel Cardin. As for the question of repayment, if even the creditor dies by then, will it still need to be repaid?

…………

The castle of the lord, together with the surrounding walls and moats, forms an independent city, which is a district of its own in the ancient city.

The castle is made of solid sheet stones, but there are many cracks that give a hint of the castle's antiquity.

In order to fulfill Yasuo's request, Edward invited Yasuo to attend a banquet hosted by Marquis Garvey, Lord of Taikoo City.

During the banquet, the Marquis of Garvey was tall, with broad shoulders, wearing a purple bodysuit and a layer of armour that was more decorative than self-defense.

This lord nobleman, who was more than half a hundred years old, had a pair of bright big eyes embedded in his bronzed face. There are already many wrinkles on the forehead. Beside him, a fat ball of mutton fat sat on a mahogany chair, holding a floor-length skirt dyed red with the blood of the toiling civilians of Taikoo Shing.

"Welcome to Taikoo Forest, Baron Lorkadan, this banquet is for you and General Edward."

A level 7 marquis, able to pull his ass away from his high-backed chair, stands up and raises a glass in welcome. It was for the sake of Edward, the son of Housson.

And the food on this table is also the first time in Yasuo's life that he has seen it. It also confirmed for the first time that roasted peacocks are not just legends.

"It is a great honor, Lord Marquis."

Scantily clad fair-skinned maids shuttled around, and the table was full of delicacies. Yasuo didn't like the extravagant atmosphere very much, but he had to follow the locals.

In fact, except for the lord Marquis Garvey, the other characters at this table are also either rich or noble.

There is Archbishop Brown, a 'rogue' and a 'rogue' that Biggins often curses. The three Presiding Judges of the Holy Light Inquisition. and a few noble marquis who only had titles and no territories.

In addition to these people, the most striking person at this table was a court count. Governor of the First Province of the Ancient Kingdom. It can be said that he is the top boss of Loel Cardin. If Yasuo's prediction is correct, this person is the court earl who has a relationship with the Marquis of Duanmu City.

At the recommendation of the Marquis of Garvey, Yasuo raised his glass and saluted the Count.

And even if he didn't care about the Lord of Taikoocheng, it was for the sake of Edward, the son of Huo Sen, and the governor of the province had to show a fake smile, "Lord Lorkadan, welcome." You are a friend of General Edward, a friend of mine. Whatever you ask today, I will do my best to meet it in front of General Edward. ”

"Loud and cautious, this is a very pragmatic guy." This is Yasuo's evaluation in his heart.

As in this hall, except for Edward, the most eye-catching person dressed is the cunzài. The court count wore a crimson velvet coat trimmed with white fur. The soft hat was sewn with three mink skins to indicate that he was a third-class earl. The crown is covered by a gold-plated silver circle with 8 silver balls on the upper rim. This indicates that he enjoys at least eight royal privileges. That's something that even an authentic nobleman with royal blood like Yasuo can't enjoy.

When the earl's eyes noticed Christina's blank eyes behind Yasuo, he offered to buy Christina's ** for 10,000 gold coins. This made Yasuo's face a little ugly.

Not out of selfishness to protect Christina, the nobles buy each other's maids' **, which is as common as eating and drinking.

The only thing that annoyed Yasuo was that Christina was not an ordinary maid, but had the royal blood of an ancient country like herself. This is blatant blasphemy.

"Your Excellency Count, Christina's **, I intend to keep it to myself. Because this is a gift from General Edward, if anyone takes a fancy to my maid Christina, they can ask General Edward to give it away. ”

Considering his own purpose, Yasuo didn't want to embarrass the other party too much.

In the near future, it is unknown whether this Taigu City or even the entire ancient kingdom will survive.

Yasuo thought to himself that there was no need to be unhappy with a group of dying people, or poor creatures who were about to lose their authority.

Next, when the program of the banquet gets into the main topic.

Edward stated that he would fill a totem with a water bladder and that he would keep it for one year.

Every nobleman who was willing to lend money to the lord of Lorkadin received fifty percent of the benefits after one year. Led by Archbishop Brown and the Inquisition of the Light, 50,000 gold coins were taken out first.

Marquis Garvey, the lord of Taikoo City, and those marquis nobles who had no territory, took out a total of 80,000 gold coins.

And the governor of the first province of the ancient country, Yasuo is not a court count at this moment.

He obviously ate that Yasuo didn't dare to repay the debt, and at the same time, because the lord of Duanmu City had promised to give him the gold coins, but what he didn't get was probably the wealth of the two 'water bladders' in front of him.

Therefore, when he looked at Yasuo, there was inevitably a trace of hostility.

"With the guarantee of General Edward, the son of Hossen, I will lend Yasuo, lord of Lorkadan, two hundred thousand gold coins. I am not afraid that His Excellency Yasuo will break his promise. Because in addition to the value of the totem liquid, selling all the population of Lol Cardin into slaves is enough to repay the 300,000 gold coins. ”

Yasuo promised a generous interest of 50 percent, so he repaid 300,000 gold coins after a year, which was not a miscalculation.

It's just that Yasuo didn't say anything in his heart, "As long as that day comes, Your Excellency is still a governor of a province and a court earl with authority, Loel Cardin will definitely not be in debt." ”

In addition, in the eyes of Yasuo, Edward was just a seemingly righteous general or knight.

In essence, he was no different from every interested nobleman here.

If there is one difference, it is that he is just of noble birth, not a native of this sick kingdom.
