"You say, I originally wanted to refuse so many orders, after all, I can't agree casually, isn't it self-inflicted if I can't deliver the goods when the time comes? But you think, so many nobles, so many people come to me with all their hearts to order! If I accept this nobleman's order but refuse another one, does that seem to be biased? Does it seem like I'm politically leaning? As you can imagine, the struggle between these nobles is very fierce, and I am a fish seller, and I don't want to get involved in it! ”

Perhaps his current performance is too bright, and the people of the associations and the Holy See on both sides have to turn their attention to this viscount.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Viscount Ruichi suddenly stood up and said directly to George, who had been talking to him since just now: "Mr. Paladin! Holy See! Ah~~~ Praise the God of Light, no matter at any time, the grace of the God of Light will always come to us ordinary people. ”

As he spoke, he walked up to George's side and said with a smile, "Mr. Paladin, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if you are willing to accept it. ”

George was slightly stunned, his face flashed with a hint of vigilance, and said, "What's the matter?" It can't be borrowing money, right? ”

Ruichi didn't deny it, clapped his hands directly, and said: "That's right, I just want to borrow money." My current business is so good, it would be a shame if so many businesses were not profitable at all! Although I am a nobleman, I am also a businessman. I want to be able to earn more and more profits! Now, I need to raise a lot of gold coins to buy ships, hire sailors, and so on. I just hope to be able to eat this year's harvest year thoroughly! ”

After a moment's pause, Viscount Ruichi stretched out his hands, gestured at the number fifteen, and said, "For this, I am willing to pay 15% of the return on investment as compensation for this loan." ”

Poof, many of the magicians and people of the Holy See present couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of water.

They look at each other, you look at me, I look at you, as if they are looking at a creature that does not understand at all!

Of course, they understand what the concept of 15% annual return is, even if they are qualified, the annual salary increase may not exceed 5%, but this viscount dares to say such an exaggerated thing as 15% in one breath?!

"Viscount Rich, if you haven't woken up from a hangover, then please sit down and take two sips of water."

Eddie on the other side looked a little unhappy, and said-

“15%？ You can say it, are you really stupid? After deducting such a high profit, will you still make money? What if you really lend you money? ”

In response to Eddie's cynicism, Viscount Ruichi showed an absolutely confident attitude and said loudly: "Money? Ha! You're even asking me if I'm making any money?! I've said it many times, I am! Sole! The worry is! Too much money! My arm! But it's not long enough!! ”

"And, a loss? How dare you doubt that this year's Wald Fisheries will lose money? Even if the whole world loses money this year, my fishing industry will definitely not lose money! My business orders are all scheduled for next year! What do I lose money with? Do you lose with your head?! ”

Such an imposing response actually suppressed the momentum of Eddie on the other side in an instant.

At the moment, these magicians could only stare at the nobleman in amazement, but they didn't know what to say.

Viscount Ruichi patted his chest, looked around at everyone present with a serious face, and said loudly-

"You're worried that I won't pay for it? Ha! The guild I sponsored has just won the championship, and now the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to eating seafood in Hanhai City is my Wald Fishery! With such a big reputation, you dare to suspect that I can't pay for it?! Magicians, and paladin priests of the Holy See! You can't help but look down on people too much! ”

As he spoke, the viscount raised his hand, slapped the table heavily, and said loudly: "I am here to make a guarantee, if I don't pay by the time of the year, then my Swan Castle, my family property, and all my assets in Hanhai City will be taken out and sold!" Even if I go bankrupt, I will never lose a penny of your two families! I'm here to make this clear! What else are you not satisfied with? ”

When it comes to combat, mages, paladins, and clerics certainly have an absolute say.

But when it comes to making money, they are probably no different from ordinary ordinary people.

No, it should be said that the only sorrow for these people who have entered the system and who have no worries about eating and drinking is that they cannot buy bigger land, better houses, and more slaves. Therefore, their concept of money may be weaker than that of an ordinary person who bargains with a vegetable vendor in the vegetable market.

Because I don't understand, I don't have a say.

Even noble magicians, paladins, or priests, after leaving their profession, looked at Viscount Ruichi with the same eyes as ordinary people.

Viscount Ruichi gambled and swore a good oath, and then looked around at these people again, and continued to say in a loud voice: "So, are you willing to lend me money?" I said a 15% return, and I will never break my word! ”

Among the people on both sides, except for the leading few mages and paladins, the salaries of the other mages, paladins and priests are not very high. The association and the Holy See can guarantee that they will not starve, have something to eat, a house to live in, and a little higher social status than ordinary people, but they have not said that they can guarantee that each of them can smoothly earn money to marry a beautiful wife, and can also go out and spend all day on wine and drink, and consume a lot of fish and meat every day.

So to say unattractive......

Ruichi ...... Your Excellency, you want to borrow ...... How much? ”

That's completely impossible.

Richie turned his head, only to see that a priest could not resist the temptation and opened his mouth.

At that moment, the smile on the viscount's face immediately recovered, and he said, "I will borrow as much as I want, and there is no upper limit." ”

Another magician also spoke: "Your Excellency, your profits are really good. But...... We didn't bring much money with us this time, I'm afraid I can only lend you a maximum of 10 gold coins here, which is already all my belongings, and I need to cut down on food and clothing for a long time in the next year......"

Hearing this, Viscount Ruichi immediately turned his head and continued to say with that smiling attitude: "Oh, that's it? That's fine, I actually thought a long time ago that there might be something like this. The money I want to borrow is not one or two hundred gold coins, but a larger amount, enough to raise a fishing fleet, and I don't think any of you will have so many gold coins with me when I suddenly come out to borrow money. ”

Finally, George over there couldn't help it: "You know that we don't have that much money, and you want to borrow money from us to form a fleet?" So how do you want us to lend you money? Will I go back to Hanhai City with you and get the money for you? ”

As soon as he said this, the people on both sides of the Holy See and the Association immediately became alert.

In this regard, Viscount Ruichi was still relaxed, and said with a smile: "No, no, no, it's not that troublesome." In fact, all you need to do is sign it. ”

Next, Viscount Ruichi told the people of the Association and the Holy See that these people only needed to sign and provide information such as home addresses, family and friends, and work, and could lend Viscount Ruichi far more than the amount of gold coins he carried.

After listening to this operation, the people of the association and the Holy See were stupid on the spot. Well, that expression made Viscount Ruichi feel a little nostalgic, after all, he was also very shocked when he heard this method of operation.

"You mean to say...... We don't really need to lend you money? ”

The magician who said he didn't have much money just now said suspiciously—

"All we need to do is make a contract with you, and then promise to lend you as much money as we can actually afford, and we don't even have to give you a single iron coin ourselves, so that I can lend you money?" And then after a year, you'll pay me back 15% more than the amount of money I lent you as I wrote on the contract? ”

Viscount Ruichi nodded with a smile: "That's right, never break your word." ”

Seeing that this viscount was so confident and swearing, the people of the Holy See and the Association also began to think carefully. Even the two leaders, Eddie and George, were now looking at each other, and there was a slight flicker in their eyes.

"Your Excellency, if we make such a contract with you, then we will at least ...... How much do I have to lend you? ”

Eddie covered his hands and said this.

Viscount Ruichi was not polite at all, stretched out a finger, and said with a smile: "One hundred gold coins." If you agree to lend me 100 gold coins, I will agree to give you 15% of your investment. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Eddie's mouth couldn't help but curl slightly. He exhaled a long breath, as if he had finally found the most crucial question, tilted his head, leaned back in his seat, and said slowly—

"Your Excellency, as soon as you open your mouth, you want a hundred gold coins? Hehe, that's not a small amount of money. ”

Ruichi stood still, smiling, not speaking.

Eddie continued: "A hundred gold coins, which is enough income for the humblest of peasants for nearly a lifetime. Although we members of the Association and the Holy See have some savings, it is too ...... for you to almost take away a large sum of our savings with such a mouth A little more dangerous, right? ”
