Chapter 413: Stubborn Old Charlie
When they heard that the teacher of the academy was going to pay compensation according to the price, Palacio's group wanted to shrink back, they could afford a few watches, but now the whole store was ruined......
Really.
"This time the goods lost 830,000 gold coins......"
The number from the mouth of the shopkeeper made Palacio and the others bury their heads in their chests.
Eight hundred and thirty thousand gold coins!
They can't afford to use the family's resources.
The teachers on both sides were also confused, smashing a store to close to one million gold coins?
"Are you wrong...... Maybe it's 80,000 gold coins?" the academy teacher of the Phantom Cloud Empire had a hint of luck.
"This is already the loss of these materials after we recycled them, and if we look at the sale value, the value of the few watches that were destroyed is more than 200,000 gold coins each. β
"A watch sells for 200,000 gold coins?" both teachers felt that their worldview had been subverted.
"Is it expensive? I don't think it will be at all," said the store manager, proudly, "because we are the most high-end watch shop in mainland China." β
The academy teacher glanced at Lilia, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, we'll raise money when we go back......"
"Wait!"
The teacher of the Phantom Cloud Empire Academy's face was a little difficult: "Do you want me to give it now?"
The teacher of the Osian Imperial Academy also looked a little unhappy: "We people of the Osian Empire have never paid their bills. β
"You misunderstood. After Lilia said lightly, she turned to the person in charge of the store and said, "Take out some watches from the storeroom, and they will give one to each of them, and the cost will be credited to my account." β
The person in charge of the store nodded yes, and went to the warehouse himself, took out twenty watches of different styles, and politely delivered them to everyone.
"This watch costs more than 100,000 yuan. Monique remembers seeing the watch, which sold for more than 100,000 yuan.
"Hmm. Palacio nodded, looking at the shopkeeper with a somewhat complicated expression.
The watch in his hand is exactly one of the styles he prefers, and he has been paying attention to it since he entered the store, and if it wasn't for the special model that attracted his attention, maybe he would have bought this one.
"Miss Lilia's gift is naturally not ordinary. The person in charge of the store said with a smile: "These are all the ones you have seen, except for the special customized ones, the best batch." β
"I still have something to do, so I'll go first. Lilia nodded faintly to everyone and left the store first.
Since Grandpa Delin was interested in the magic car, she decided to send Joffrey's custom-made model over now, it was too young to drive safely......
And then, the people of the Phantom Cloud Empire and the Ostro Empire also left with their colors, and the store was not afraid of them defaulting on their debts, and the two empires still had this credibility.
On the way out, Burris was still a little angry. "What to pack, the watch that was given to us is not our own money. β
"If you don't want you, you will return it to others, anyway, your young master Burris is not short of this money. Monique pouted and squeezed.
"Why should they return it, this is what they want to send themselves. Burris clutched his watch, in a desperate posture of whoever grabbed it.
"What a good means, we paid for it, and we have to credit her in the end. Palacio couldn't help but sigh.
The teacher who went back with them agreed: "It seems that the rumors are all true, if everyone else has the ability she has shown, Atlanta City may really be built by this group of little guys." β
"Teacher, do you know what Lilia's teacher is about to be?" asked Palacio suddenly.
The teacher's face was straight: "At least it's an earth magister, and I don't know anything else." β
Palacio frowned and said, "The magisters on the continent are all numbered, and it is impossible for them to appear out of nowhere, I remember that Lilia called him Grandpa Delin...... Delin?"
"Haven't heard of Delin...... Wait a minute. The academy teacher's face was slightly stunned at first, and then his face changed greatly: "It's him!"
"Who is it, teacher, do you know him?" Palacio was a little curious.
"It should be him!"
"Forty years ago, when I was a magic apprentice, I once followed my teacher to the Chaman Empire, and it was that time that I heard the name Delin!"
The academy teacher's face was a little complicated: "At that time, he was already the youngest magician in the Chaman Empire! His fiancΓ©e was insulted by a nobleman and finally hanged herself, and that nobleman was the sole heir of a duke family in the Chaman Empire!"
"The Duke of the Chaman Empire forty years ago, that's not an ordinary person, it's probably not easy for a magician to take revenge......" Monique frowned and said, she learned the history of the continent well, forty years ago, the Chaman Empire was infinitely beautiful on the mainland, but it is not comparable now, one-third of the current territory of the Chaman Empire was fought at that time!
Burris was also a little curious, and asked, "What about later." β
"Of course, it is not easy for a magician to want revenge, especially if the other party is still powerful, but the place of legend is here. β
Two years later, the ducal family caught up with the birthday banquet of the head of the family, and countless nobles and wealthy merchants came to celebrate, and all the branches of the whole family received invitations from the Duke's Palace and rushed over to congratulate them on the same day...... That's right, he sent those invitations!
"When the banquet was over and everyone had just left, he appeared!"
"It is said that at that time, he stood at the highest point of the Duke's Castle, in the imperial capital of the Chaman Empire, in front of countless people, he released the earth magic forbidden spell with the strength of a magician!"
"After that night, a hundred-year-old nobleman disappeared from the continent, and at the same time, there was also the youngest earth magician in the continent, Himi Delin!"
Everyone was stunned: "Forty years ago, he was a magician...... And what about him now?"
"Judging from the strength he has shown, even if he is not a great magister, he is also a peak magister!"
"Suspected of being a strong man of the Great Magister!" Several people gasped, Burris lowered his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly his expression perked up, looked at everyone and said: "I have decided, I will pay all the hundreds of thousands of gold coins for compensation, and no one will rob me!"
"Huh?" the crowd looked at him puzzled.
"I have decided, from today onwards, I will start chasing Lilia, and showing the strength of the family is the first step!" Burris clenched his fist and smiled confidently: "I believe that she will definitely be moved by my responsibility!"
Moncole looked incredulous: "You are not the captain who is the only heir in the family, and your family is willing to give you so many gold coins?"
Burris smirked and said, "Of course they don't want to under normal circumstances, but what if there is a chance to win over a strong man who is suspected of being a great magician?"
When Palacio heard this, he patted him on the shoulder: "Come on, brother will give you this opportunity." β
"Thank you!" said Burris, laughing.
On the other side, Ai Rui also got the news, and when he heard that Delin had personally dispatched, he couldn't help laughing, and the benefits of finding backers for his friends had arrived.
"Fantesi, are you sure he pinned a ninth-level mage to the ground without using magic?"
"Sure, he's using the power of the law of gravity!" Fantessie's fluttering voice came from the corner of the room.
"The Power of the Law...... Archmagister?" Ari touched his chin and muttered to himself, "How many old guys are hiding in Atlanta Academy!"
However, this is also normal, with an old dean like the old dean who doesn't know how long he has lived, it is not easy to cultivate and take in a few great mages.
Putting aside his speculation about the strength of the academy, Ari turned his eyes to the corner of the office, and suddenly asked, "Fantesi, have you ever thought about living with a different identity?"
"A different identity?" Fantsi's identity was a little dazed.
Ari nodded: "That's right, I'm already a magician now, and there are many forces around me to defend me, so you can quit and take off this black robe, give up the identity of the shadow guard, and return to the life of a normal person." β
"The life of a normal person?" Vantessi chewed on these words, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I have long been accustomed to life in the dark. β
"You can't live like this for the rest of your life. β
"I can ......"
"You can't!" said Ari firmly, "You ordered you to return to your status as a normal person, and then marry a wife, have children, and have a little Fantesi, I will be his godfather!"
"The family has ......"
Ari said arrogantly: "The rules of the family don't work for me, you still listen to the family." β
"In this way, the Atlanta City Commercial Bank will be established tomorrow, you go to be the president, you can also contact more people, as soon as possible, the group of people who will get rid of the single Dick are the same as you, they are all left by my father to protect me, you look at them, they are all married, and you are left with an old bachelor!"
"Banks? I won't. β
"Can't you learn, anyway, there are professionals who will stare at those things, you mainly need to know more noble ladies, and giving birth to little Fantesi is the point. β
"That's it, you will go to the bank to report the day after tomorrow, just hold the opening ceremony, I will wait for the clothes to be sent to you, anyway, your black robe will definitely not be able to be worn anymore." β
Ari gave things a chance to refuse without giving Fantesi, Fantastic grew up with him since he was a child, how could he let Fantastic live in the dark for the rest of his life, even the Inspectorate Eri was not ready to let him continue to manage.
Although he is in a high position, it is not a normal life after all, and he can rest assured that he can leave it to Simon and Abel and their two Eri.
Fantesi didn't speak again, apparently acquiescing.
While Ari was on business for a while, Fina knocked on the door from outside and walked in.
"The rules of the competition have been set, a total of three hundred and twenty-nine academies participated, but one hundred and three academies from the six empires jointly protested, refusing to draw lots to determine the opponents, and demanding that the different groups in their empires be studied. β
"That's right. Ai Rui pondered for a moment and said, "Then separate according to their requirements, plus our Atlanta Demon Martial Academy, a total of three hundred and thirty academies participated."
All the houses are divided into thirty-three teams of ten houses each.
There are a total of one hundred and three empires in the six empires, and one empire has less than twenty academies and thirty-three groups, and they will definitely not let their own people fight their own people, as for which empire and which academy the opponent is, let them draw lots by themselves.
Each group plays a round-robin match, with three points for wins, one point for a draw, and no points for losing, and the three teams with the highest points advance to the end. If two teams have the same number of points, the winner will be ranked first, if three or more teams have the same number of points, the ranking will be determined by the percentage of points won and lost between each other, and if it is still the same, the ranking will be determined by the percentage of points won and lost in all matches in the group.
Wait until the preliminary round is over, and there will be 99 teams left, and then the semi-finals will continue this mode, which can just rank a top 100 list of mainland colleges. β
Fina frowned a little after hearing this: "Will there be too many competitions in this way, just in the preliminary round, each academy will have to play nine games." β
"How good the game is. Ai Rui said proudly: "The audience seats in the preliminary round are for takeaways, and there must be a lot of people willing to pay for the top colleges in the continent."
Ten sub-venues, each venue sells 100,000 viewing places a day, ranging from 50 silver coins to 100 gold coins depending on the location...... In this way, the cost of organizing the competition is earned. β
Fina still objected: "There are too many games, the academy doesn't have the energy to deal with so many games, and we don't have enough referees to ensure that the games are safe and fair. β
"Alright then, let's eliminate a batch in pairs, and the six empires will give each country three seeded teams to ensure that they won't encounter each other in the first round, okay. "It's still a pity for Ari, of course he hopes that the more games the better, not to mention that the game tickets can earn a lot of gold, and after a long time, those people are used to the life of Atlanta City, maybe some people want to stay in Atlanta City?
It's a pity that I can only think about it, there are indeed too many competitions, and it is still necessary to control the scale of the competition, and it is already very difficult to rank the top 30 of a mainland college.
Fina nodded, and eliminated most of them directly in pairs, and then round-robin, and the rankings were also convincing, and Atlanta City could also earn a lot of gold.
"Let's keep the game to a month, and give them time to leave Atlanta before winter comes, and I have other things to do later, so I don't have time to worry about them. As he spoke, Ari suddenly thought of something and suddenly asked, "By the way, is Uncle Henry running a casino?"
Fina obviously understood this matter, and nodded: "Eighty percent of the casinos in Atlanta City are opened by him, and the Youth Gang also has sixty percent of the dry shares among them. β
Ari suddenly realized: "Good guy, I just said how the performance of the tavern he managed plummeted, it turned out that he went to be a gambling king." β
Fina nodded and said, "If the young master can't get used to it, I'll let the Young Gang withdraw from it." β
Ai Rui hurriedly waved his hand: "Why do you withdraw, although gambling is not good, it is impossible to put an end to it, it is better to put it in your own hands and rest assured, just take advantage of this competition, you can help the mainland people quit gambling addiction again......"
