After a long day of traveling, Luo Jie, Klein and others finally returned to the royal city before the suspension bridge was closed.

In order to avoid any accidents, Luo Jie didn't even rest, and entered the palace overnight to find the eldest princess "Alicia", and reported to her the matter of finding the "Forging Valkyrie Stone Statue" and the specific process.

Unlike other skill-based Valkyrie statues, the importance of this "Forged Valkyrie Stone Statue" is almost strategic, and Princess Celestia "Alicia" did not dare to slack off, and sent heavy troops to carefully escort this precious stone statue to the Temple of Inheritance overnight.

"Dire, I'm really sorry...... The "Forged Valkyrie Stone Statue" you sent back is so precious that I can't even get a comparable reward. ”

After directing the soldiers to stabilize the stone statue, Princess Celestia "Alicia" turned around and bowed again, expressing her sincerest apologies to Luo Jie.

However, this time he wore thick armor, which was not at all as sincere as the low-cut dress of the last time.

Luo Jie silently clicked a bad comment in his heart.

"It's okay, if you can't afford to give the gold coins, you can make an IOU first...... I don't think such a big Seven Shields Alliance shouldn't owe us traversers, right? Well, for the sake of our friendship, I can calculate your interest less......"

Not to mention that there are no substantial benefits, even if there is, it is impossible for Luo Jie to give up his vested interests in front of him because he can't eat a piece of meat in his mouth.

Besides, it's not his business alone, and they still have a few mouths waiting to be fed in Klein.

The eldest princess "Alicia" smiled, as the representative of a country, she naturally understands what it means to distinguish between public and private, and it is impossible to play anything with Luo Jie like an ordinary little girl...... Although she did want to do so.

"So what do you want? Say it in advance, I can't afford to give it too much. ”

In fact, Luo Jie didn't think about asking the lion to open his mouth, just the tattered bit in the treasure vault of the Seven Shields Alliance was not as good as the equipment on his body, if it weren't for the fact that there were still Asuna and others who needed equipment, he wouldn't have bothered to open his mouth.

"Eight sets of equipment of excellent quality, plus 100,000 gold coins...... Well, that's all. ”

"That's all?"

Princess Celestia "Alicia" was a little surprised, not that Luo Jie asked too much, but too little.

After all, the "Forged Valkyrie Stone Statue" is different from the ordinary Valkyrie statue, and it is no exaggeration to say that with this statue, all the blacksmiths in the Seven Shields Kingdom can be liberated from the creation of weapons and concentrate on building daily tools and agricultural tools, and the resulting increase in comprehensive national strength is simply immeasurable.

If measured by a country's tax revenue, even a 10% increase is a huge amount of more than one million gold coins.

Princess Celestia "Alicia" doesn't think that her friendship with Luo Jie can be worth so much money, and can only think that the other party may be due to the conversion bias caused by the newcomer's lack of understanding of the purchasing power of money.

In fact, she guessed that Luo Jie really had no idea about the prices in this world.

Princess Alicia thought for a moment and said, "Then according to what you said, add a viscount's title and a lordship." ”

Sooner or later, the other party will understand the value of this "Forged Valkyrie Stone Statue", and "Alicia" doesn't want to make Luo Jie, the best of the traversers, have a grudge against her because of this petty profit.

What's more, she has a feeling that although the other party is still just a slightly more outstanding little person, sooner or later he will grow up to be on an equal footing with her, or even a generation of giants that she needs to look up to.

Luo Jie was stunned, he didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected gain, and then said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess is really a real person...... I took the house, but the title is still forgotten, I am troublesome, and you can't explain it to the ministers. ”

Princess Celestia shook her head and smiled, "It's just an empty title in name only, and the ministers won't say anything...... And people who don't have a title can't recruit servants, and if you give you such a big viscount mansion, you can't clean and maintain it by yourself, right? ”

Luo Jie thought about it, so he didn't refuse.

The title needs to be followed by procedures, and the Viscount's Mansion needs to be renovated and cleaned, and these are all rewards that take a certain amount of time to cash.

Of course, the equipment and bounties arrived as soon as possible.

Luo Jie appraised them one by one, and sure enough, it was just a bunch of E-level green suits, but considering that the current Asuna and the others were still the original F-white novice suits, this super-standard equipment could at least withstand their hard training at level 10.

"Dire-kun, let's go ahead and level up! I feel like we could break through the first layer today! ”

The powerful equipment greatly increased the confidence of Klein and the others present, and they all screamed that they wanted to find trouble with the first-tier boss, which attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern.

Luo Jie raised his hand, and the commotion below immediately quieted down, and everyone stared at him intently, with a flame called "ambition" flashing in their eyes.

The vast majority of you are men, whether in the real world or in another world, and who doesn't want to make a career and become a master?

It's a pity that Luo Jie's next words are destined to disappoint them.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I followed the brigade before, just to adapt to the rhythm of the battle in this world, I've never liked to hold groups very much, and it's enough to have two partners, Asuna and Gui Yanye."

As he spoke, Luo Jie took the gold coin coupon he asked for from Princess Celestia "Alicia" - something similar to a check or deposit slip, 10,000 yuan per person, and distributed it to Klein and the other six people who participated in this rescue operation.

He has never been a solitary eater, and although these plot NPCs have not played a major role in the entire rescue process, this courage and sense of justice alone is worth his emotional investment in these people in advance.

"To put it mildly, it may be cold-blooded...... Now that you have the level, money, and equipment, there is no need to level up with the Traverser Brigade anymore, and the low efficiency of their people will only slow down your progress in leveling up. It can be seen from this rescue operation that there is no shortage of courage for you people, so you might as well go further, and don't let the initial advantage obtained by this lucky one be slowly evaluated by the latecomers, and finally disappear from the crowd. ”

After leaving a few words worthy of everyone's deep thought, Luo Jie got up and said goodbye to everyone, and left the tavern with Asuna and Gui Yanye in a regretful sigh.

"Dire-kun, actually, I don't really understand......" Asuna, who was walking next to her, stopped talking.

"Why don't you act with Klein them, do you?"

"I think Klein and Xing are very good people, and we have worked together very happily before, so wouldn't it be better to take care of each other when we act together?" Asuna asked, puzzled.

Luo Jie stopped, turned around and looked at Asuna and Gui Yanye next to him seriously, and suddenly smiled faintly.

"Because you two are going to fly with me, and they are destined not to keep up with our take-off."
