Chapter 335: A Deal with Tolkien
Feeling the air that had almost frozen, Ari immediately sat up straight, and said with a straight face: "I mean since Kochard is in charge of this matter, when the exchange match starts, we will play casually, and it is none of our business if the game collapses......"
Lian thought for a while, and finally nodded: "That's the truth." ”
Ari said with a smile: "When the time comes, the exchange competition will let Joffrey and them go, and the other party will have a good attitude, and he will lie down directly, if the attitude is not good, his legs will be discounted!"
Lian imagined the picture for a moment, nodded in agreement, "That's okay, that's it." ”
The next morning, after breakfast, everyone went about their own thing.
Cotthard asked some of the academy teachers to go outside to find a place to live, and he went to the royal academy to discuss the next matter, if the royal academy still had this attitude, he was ready to take the teachers and students to visit the royal capital for a few days, and then go back to Atlanta.
Lian went out with a class of students, ready to visit the royal capital, but Carol and Joffrey had their own affairs, so in the end, only Mel and Buchanman went out with her.
Carol and Ferris are going home today, their home is in the royal capital, and they must go back.
Joffrey and the others were assigned tasks by Eri, and Ari roughly selected some people from the information given by Yerkas and handed them over, each of them needed to fool at least three people to complete the task.
Ari went to the palace himself, and Tolkien's guards came to the castle early in the morning to announce his entry into the palace. Thinking of the position of the Lord of Atlanta, Ari decided to go to the palace to meet Tolkien for a while.
Walking into the palace, Ari couldn't help but pout, the place is big enough, and it looks like it is splendid, but if you really want to talk about it, there is no luxury connotation of the castle in Bran Village, and the whole palace looks like a nouveau riche.
However, at this time, it is the end of spring, and all kinds of precious flowers and plants planted in the palace are in full bloom, and the purple and red colors that decorate the palace have a little taste of spring.
Ari followed the guards all the way, and when he passed a garden, he heard the sound of two children fighting in the distance, and Ari glanced at it, and two tiger-headed boys were running around the garden under the care of the palace maids, frolicking loudly.
Eri has a little in his heart, these should be the two little guys who will play the palace fight drama with Gal in the future.
Walking through the garden, the guards led Ari to the study, and Ari walked in and saw Tolkien sitting in front of a desk, calmly reviewing the recitals, but he hadn't seen him for a few years, this Prince Tolkien looked very different from before, although the previous Nine Princes also looked quite skillful, but compared to the current one, there was still a big gap, and now he just sat there, which made the room full of majesty, and people did not dare to speak loudly.
Clearly, he has succeeded in transforming into a qualified king.
Gal was also inside, apparently impressed by the momentum, and sat in his seat alone, glancing at Tolkien from time to time before quickly moving away.
When Gal heard the movement, he turned his head to look over, and when he saw Eri, the expression on his face was first stunned, and then immediately a look of joy, he just wanted to speak, but it seemed that he was worried about something, and the words that reached his throat were swallowed back by him.
Eric didn't care so much, and regardless of the fact that this was one of the most powerful places in the Barak Kingdom, he walked directly to Garr's side with a smile on his face, and said in a small voice: "What's the matter, did your stepmother bully you?"
"Eri......" Gal suddenly looked embarrassed when he heard this, and quickly pulled his sleeve to stop him from continuing to speak.
Ari pursed his lips and said, "If there's anything you can't say, just say it to him, and throw it in Atlanta City when it's over, if I don't pull you ...... with a handful of and urine."
"Ahem......" Tolkien was reviewing the recital, and when he heard Ari talk more and more, he couldn't help it, and let Ari continue to speak, and his face had no place to put it.
After he put the pen down, he glanced up at Ari, as if he hadn't heard what he had just said, and took the initiative to smile and said, "Eri, we meet again." ”
"yes, it's been a few years," Ari glanced at Tolkien and couldn't help but sigh, "You were young then, hey, years are really a knife to kill the Pigs......"
When Tolkien heard this, he was instantly uncomfortable, and he hadn't seen him for a few years, but this little guy was still so sharp-tongued, and it was just a matter of two sentences, and he was choked twice.
Tolkien wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I know you are fighting for Gal, but putting Gal in Atlanta City is the greatest protection for him." Speaking of which, Gal has had a good time in Atlanta City over the years, and I really want to thank you for taking care of you......"
Ari snorted and said, "You also know that I have been taking care of Gal for several years, should I give some alimony or something......
Tolkien was stunned when he heard this, I was just polite, why did you still pick it up.
Ari ignored him, glanced at him, and continued to himself: "I won't ask you for money, seeing that you have done a lot of actions in the past few years, you should also have no money......"
Listening to Eri's words, Tolkien was not much surprised, he had already seen the evil place of this young man, not to mention that he had seen the changes in Atlanta City over the years, in just three years, the income of the Boys' Gang and the Duke's Mansion of Gal was probably not lower than the income of the kingdom.
Tolkien nodded, directly and generously admitted Eri's words, threw a piece of music over, and said: "That's right, the kingdom is indeed out of money, the situation on the mainland has suddenly become more and more tense in recent years, and the Chaman Empire is getting weaker and weaker, and several other empires in the neighborhood are already eyeing each other, although the kingdom has broken away from the Chaman Empire, but when it really comes to need, it can't stand idly by." ”
Ari looked at the fold in his hand, and his brows furrowed, several major empires bordered the borders of the Chaman Empire, the main army changed guards frequently, and the small frictions were countless, as long as the Chaman Empire showed a weak momentum, the war was estimated to begin.
Ari put down the fold in his hand, looked at him and asked, "Why are you talking to me about this?"
"Borrow money," Tolkien said calmly, looking at him calmly, "the kingdom has no money, but there are still many places where money is needed, and the equipment of several major army corps has not yet been fully replaced." ”
Ari asked curiously, "What about the Doyle Firm, don't you have their support?"
Tolkien's face was a little complicated when he heard this, but in the end he just sighed and said helplessly: "They are merchants......
Tolkien was only halfway through his words, and Ari understood, he thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "If there is really a fight, how many are the four main armies of the kingdom going to send." ”
Tolkien said: "You can only go to two at most, 200,000 people is already the limit, and if there are more, you don't have to wait for the Chaman Empire, the kingdom itself will fall first." ”
Ari nodded and reminded, "It's not easy to take the money from the Doyle Firm, and it's not easy to take my money." ”
Tolkien nodded: "If you have any requests, just mention them." ”
After thinking for a full five minutes, Ari raised his head and looked at Tolkien and said, "Atlanta City is handed over to me, I will give the empire two billion gold coins every year, and the kingdom can advance two years of gold coins in advance. ”
Tolkien was shocked when he heard that Eri was talking about two billion gold coins, but when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but remind him: "The total tax that Atlanta City provided to the kingdom last year was only 500 million gold coins. ”
Hearing this, Ai Rui laughed: "I see, then it's better to change it to one billion gold coins a year......"
"Don't, don't, when I didn't say it. "When it comes to a billion gold coins, Tolkien does not have the slightest appearance of a golden mouth, and he will take it back when he says it.
He looked at Ari with some disbelief and asked, "Can the Youth Gang take out four billion gold coins at once?"
Ari explained: "The Four Billion Gold Coins Boy Gang will definitely not be able to take it out, even if it is taken out to you, it is useless for you, I can directly provide you with armor weapons and food of equal value." ”
Tolkien was even more puzzled: "I can understand the armor and weapons, you have recruited a lot of blacksmiths over the years, but how much grain can you grow on your little land?"
Hearing this, Ari laughed confidently: "You don't need to worry about this, don't forget, I'm a magician, give me half a year, how much food you want, I'll give you as much as you want." ”
Tolkien looked at Ari with blazing eyes: "Then I'll wait and see." ”
Ari said: "Don't worry, there is one more small condition. ”
Tolkien nodded, "You say." ”
Ari said unhurriedly, "In order to ensure the safety of Atlanta City, I ask Atlanta City to have the right to recruit troops independently. ”
Tolkien frowned when he heard this, it doesn't matter if the administrative power of Atlanta City is handed over, the better Eri develops, the greater the benefits when the kingdom is recovered, but if you have the right to conscript, it is not the same thing.
Tolkien thought for a moment, and finally agreed: "I can give you the right to conscript, but you need to supply your own equipment." ”
"This is nature. Ai Rui agreed on the spot, and billions of dollars were given, and he didn't even look at this money.
Next, the two also discussed some details, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement, and Gal watched the heated conversation between Ari and his father on the side, and suddenly felt a little lost,
If he was as good as Ari, would his father be impressed with him?
Ari didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and when he came out of the palace with Gar, he had a smile on his face.
Although Atlanta City has actually been controlled by the Boys' Gang, with the permission of the kingdom, many things will be more justified in the future.
Gal followed behind Ari, a little silent, until he walked into the castle without speaking, Ari glanced at him, put his arm around his shoulder, and said with a smile: "The mood is so low, it can't be bullied." ”
"No," Gal was thinking about things, and when he heard Ari's words, he was stunned at first, then shook his head and said, "I think I'm useless, my father is in such a big trouble, and I can't do anything about it......"
Hearing this, Ai Rui sighed directly: "Four billion have been given, and it is still called powerless, it seems that the elbow is really turned out." ”
"It's your ......"
Ari shook his head and said, "No, this is all of us, you are also a member of the Youth Gang, and your role in the development of the Youth Gang to this day is very huge." Moreover, in the future, there will be a lot of things to do in the Youth Gang, I think you are just too idle, and I want to find something for you to do. ”
"What are we doing?" said Gal, curious.
Ari said: "Joffrey, they went to the Wizards' Guild to recruit magicians, I estimate that they can't find many people even if they sacrifice hue and use beauty tricks, your identity is quite suitable, this matter will be left to you, you can fool as many people as you can." ”
"Alright, I'll go find Joffrey and them. Gal nodded, and took a few guards directly to the Mage's Guild.
Ari came to the study by himself, the news he got from Tolkien today is a little too shocking, the location of Atlanta City is too north, the affairs of the Chaman Empire can't be transmitted there at all, and he hasn't even heard the news, it's not Tolkien who has been there, he estimates that it will be a few months before he knows.
And at this time, time is money, and he needs to do a lot now, the first is to investigate whether the Chaman Empire is likely to hold out, and if there is little hope, then be prepared for the second hand and take over the huge inheritance of the Chaman Empire.
Next, the Juvenile Gang is also going to enter and prepare, and the necessary precautions still need to be done, and today the strength of the Juvenile Gang was exposed in front of Tolkien,
For the sake of the kingdom, the relationship between Gal and Tolkien is not yet available.
