Chapter 155: City Life I
At this time, the relatives and cronies of Xiuvariet—Erica, the old butler, Ann the Shadow Man, Knight Juliels, and others—were also shocked to see the half-emptied treasury!
The old butler, in particular, was thinking the same as Huvariet...... Who leaked the news?
The joke of taking out half of the treasury to exchange for the king's sword was obviously only said once by the city lord in front of him. That's half of the treasury, and only he, who is personally in charge of Stormwind City's black and white business, knows how much money is stored here—150,000 gold coins! This is all he has been doing with the city lord for several years!
And today, he counted the boxes, and at least 100,000 gold coins were taken...... The old butler felt that his eyes were dark.
Franc East!
He made up his mind and continued to estimate the damage...... The grain is the emergency reserve of the City Lord's Mansion, and the real granary of Stormwind City is not here. The vault was not ventilated, it was not a good place to store food, and only enough enough food for about 500 people for a year was lost. In addition, the old butler also noticed that some swords and armor were actually lost, all of which were from the collection of Shovariet, some commemorative items.
Those are nothing...... But a large number of military weapons and equipment that are really valuable and used to arm the army are still wrapped in oilcloth and are in good condition! At this point, it can only be said that Langdong is quite interesting. If he had taken those things, everyone would have been dying.
Huvarie was pondering, the old butler was assessing, and Shadow Ann continued to be vigilant, his job was to keep the city lord safe.
Only Erica's big eyes were purring, she didn't have much idea of what was missing, but she was excited to encounter a big case! So she was looking for evidence from all sides, and after a while, she really found it!
"Dad, there's a little print down there." Erica said timidly, tugging at Shovarie's sleeve.
The corner of Shadow An, who was standing behind Showarier, twitched...... He didn't know why, Erica was obviously very close to everyone in the City Lord's Mansion, but she was only afraid of him. What exactly have I done? Can't I change it if you say it? As long as he is present, Erica is this cautious...... Don't look at me as a cold-faced man, in fact, I am also very fragile inside, and you hurt me so much.
"Let's go and have a look." Shovariet touched Erica's head.
He's recovered from the blow at the moment, and with his men present, he'll have to show a strong side as well.
Underneath the large line "I, Franc East, Playing Money", there was originally a line of small characters. It's just that everyone was so angry by the content of the big words that they didn't notice. I saw the small print that read, "If you are angry, look down at the sword." ”
There was no beginning or end to these words, which made several people look at each other. Franco Dong is afraid that the hatred is not enough...... Keep taunting? What hatred is what?
Thauvarier really looked down at the "King's Sword" in his hand—this sword had no scabbard for the time being, and it was as dark as an ordinary iron sword in the firelight.
"Whew!" , Offarière let out a long breath and slapped his cheek with his hand, seeing that he had regained his strength! "I see!"
"I'm sorry everyone's ......", he turned around and apologized to a few of his cronies first, leaving a few people at a loss, they had never seen such a Shuvarier. From the moment I drew my sword, all I could think about was how to use the power of the sword to immediately raise troops, which forces needed to attack, which ones needed to be negotiated, how the three northern kingdoms would deal with it, and so on...... If it weren't for this basin of cold water from Franc Dong, I would probably be leading the army by now! ”
A few cronies are at a loss, and there seems nothing wrong with thinking so? The sword of the king is in hand, don't you dare to take advantage of it...... Ahem, is it?
"Alas," said Thuvalier, holding his sword flat for everyone to see, "what Franton meant by this sentence was - a normal heart! Got it? This is the original intention of the Sword of Kings! Remember the lessons of the Three Kingdoms of the North? Whoever has built a kingdom by the sword will be defeated by the loss of the sword!
If I use the power of the King's Sword, I can indeed unify the south very quickly. But after that, because of the unstable foundation, it can only be settled in a corner of the south, what is the difference between this and the three northern countries? It's just that it has changed from a three-country melee to a four-country ...... This is a reminder to me, when I get the sword of the king, I still have to keep a normal heart!
Fran Dong, the true warrior is unequaled......
It's a pity that it can't be used for me! ”
Huvarier turned and looked no longer at the empty storeroom. "How long will it take to save up the necessary military spending?" He asked.
"One year!" The old butler replied solemnly.
Now that Thuvarier has ascended the throne and owns half a province, the speed of accumulation is certainly not the same as in the past. If there is no good thing, why should everyone rush to be king.
"Good! Then I'll be up in a year's time, and this time we'll be fighting to the Cloud Plateau in one go! Unify Penling! ”
"Yes!" Everyone shouted along, their faces glowing with an unusual look. Even Erica clenched her little fists!
"Let's go! From now on, there is no stopping for a moment! ”
Shovarier took the lead and left the treasury with these men! I didn't look at the half-empty treasury again!
……
As the soldiers finally left, the gate was locked, and the castle lord's treasury returned to darkness.
Ten minutes later, Penny's voice suddenly sounded in silence, "That's what you wrote?" I really didn't expect that. ”
"What, that's because he's sick with his brain." This time it was Shen Yan's voice that sounded, "What I obviously want to say is - you still have the face to be angry?" Look at that sword, you haven't paid for it yet! ”
*****
Pastor Ana has been very happy lately, not only because the orphanage's financial problems have finally been resolved, but also because the children are obedient. It's also because the young man she likes actually wants to stay in Stormwind City for a while, and he rents next door to the orphanage.
Needless to say, the young man's kindness was needless to say—the mysterious organization behind him aside, but Aunt Ana saw him turn his hands into clouds and rain with her own eyes, and in the blink of an eye, she amassed an astonishing fortune! However, this young man was not moved by this huge amount of money, and turned around and gave it to the orphanage as funds!
With his means and age, no one can say anything even if he spends a lot of money and drinks in Stormwind City. However, Shen Yan only rented a cheap courtyard in Xiacheng District, and in addition to staying at home every day, he went to the orphanage from time to time to help...... is so mature that Aunt Ana is a little distressed.
Young people shouldn't be like that!
But when he thought of the almost impossible wish that this young man carried, he could only turn a thousand words into a sigh. What is there to say about the matter of faith...... With Shen Yan's talent, even the god of suffering and compassion was very tempted, and the god of order didn't know that such good luck came.
When he was usually fine, Shen Yan would come to the orphanage to help, he said it was to change his brain. It's just that there is very little communication with the children...... It seems that because of his identity, Shen Yan always avoids contact with others.
It's been almost a month since the "Sword of Kings" affair ended, and the citizens of Stormwind City have just woken up from their hot heads—and then everyone began to rejoice, fortunately, Stormwind City has such a wise, calm and calm king as Shovarie!
I didn't make a big mistake!
At that time, not only Stormwind City had the urge to send troops, but the surrounding towns also formed an alliance against Stormwind, and the three northern kingdoms also quietly stationed troops on the border...... Seeing that an unprecedented melee is about to break out on the Penglin Peninsula!
Luckily, when he was in a collective frenzy, he chose to pull the reins tighter, so that Stormwind's horse on the verge of getting out of control didn't run around!
After this incident, the prestige of Shovariet rose again! The aura on his body is so bright that he can't look at it directly!
People trust him more than they do in him - to be able to hold steady in that situation, Shovariet is simply not as calm as a human! So it's very impressive! The big merchants and nobles were full of confidence in Shovariet, and they blocked all their possessions.
They didn't know that Shovarière was hiding in the palace and wiping a cold sweat......
Only Pastor Ana, who knew more about the inside story, vaguely guessed the truth of the matter. Is this why the "Light of Order" is so rich? But by doing so, aren't they already deviating from the doctrine of the God of Order?
To this, Shen Yan's answer was, "My lord is in charge of order, and I am in charge of God." ”
- No wonder you've done so many good things, and you're still in the neutral camp!
