Tired and half dead, Jones finally found the nine deer. Piled together, it looks like a small mountain.

Is this territory rich? Not really. Strictly speaking, the territory of the Kolin Peninsula is not rich.

The territory is surrounded by dense woods, yes, but mostly some strange trees, worthless plants. You can't eat it, you can't use it, and the only feature is that it has tenacious vitality. As for the deer that are common in the woods, they are even more scarce. Fortunately, the place is big enough, as long as you look carefully, you can still find it.

"This damn hydra, it's eating so much! and it's not going to die!" Jones cursed viciously. Dora watched cautiously.

Scolding and scolding, Jones honestly transported the deer in the direction of the castle in two ends. Why do you carry two at a time? Because bats only have two legs.

Nine-headed deer, two people go back and forth twice, and one person has to run a third time. This made Jones even more angry.

"Why not eight heads!"

In any case, the deer were finally brought back and all of them were lost at the gate of the castle.

"Ma'am, your dinner has come. Are you coming out to eat?"

One of Hydra's heads glanced through the window from afar: "Send it in." I'm not used to eating outside. ”

"Send in...... Go?" Jones's eyes began to jump.

In desperation, he and Dora could only drag all nine deer into the castle.

After tossing for most of the day to find the nine-headed deer, the hydra swallowed it all at once, and did not even spit out the bones.

Jones and Dora watched dumbfounded.

"Alright, I'm going to sleep next. You can get ready for the next meal. ”

"Remember to clean the castle, we need a clean and comfortable environment. ”

"Next meal I want to eat cow. ”

"No, I want to eat fish. ”

"But I want to eat rabbits. ”

A few heads almost quarreled, but fortunately one of them came out to preside over the overall situation: "Then let's have some cows, fish, and rabbits!"

"Agreed. ”

"Agreed. ”

"That's a good idea, and it's good that we now have two servants. Maybe we won't have to fight about what to eat in the future. ”

"I don't care, I'm losing weight anyway. ”

As he spoke, the nine heads looked at Jones in unison.

Jones broke out in a cold sweat, looked at the hydra, which was countless times bigger than himself, coughed dryly, and said, "That...... Ma'am, may I ask you, do you eat so much at every meal? The nine-headed deer weighed almost a ton just now......

"Yes, eat so much for every meal. The nine heads said in unison.

Jones smiled an embarrassed but polite smile, "So you eat at least five tons a day?"

"No, at least not yet. ”

"In fact, we're hibernating, just getting up halfway through for a late-night snack. ”

"In the winter you just need to prepare us a meal a week. ”

"One meal for three days after hibernation. Or continue with a Monday meal. But the amount must be large. ”

"In the autumn we eat a lot and we have to have a meal every day. ”

"Okay, that's great news. Oh no, I mean, willing to serve you, my lady. Jones replied with a smile.

This is probably the best news he's heard in the past few days. Eat a meal every few days, look at the lazy appearance of this hydra, and sleep after eating. This means that when it sleeps, the castle is completely Jones's world!

It couldn't be more wonderful!

Thinking about it, Jones was still a little excited.

"Okay, you go get busy, we're going to go to sleep. ”

"Also, you'd better not think about sneaking up while we're sleeping, or you'll die an ugly death. ”

"When the time comes, our only concern will only be which one will swallow you. ”

"Of course, I'm your servant, how could a servant sneak attack? "Jones couldn't wait.

One last glance at Jones, the nine heads began to slowly shrink down, and the snake's body began to slowly squirm, making a rustling sound. Eventually, the hydra curled up into a giant "snake cake". From a distance, it looked like a large pile of feces piled up in the castle hall.

The whole castle has finally returned to tranquility.

Jones tiptoed closer, craned his neck and looked at it carefully. After waiting for a while, he shook his hand, and then reached out and gently touched the smooth scales of the hydra.

"What do you want to do?"

One of the heads snapped open his eyes, and Jones was so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back.

"Ma'am, I'm just...... See if you're just asleep. ”

"I can fall asleep at any time as long as I close my eyes, but one out of nine heads is always awake. Are you satisfied with my answer?"

"What does this have to do with dissatisfaction?"

The snake head that opened his eyes slowly closed his eyes again, and muttered to himself, "Let me tell you clearly, I just don't want to eat you so soon." After all, it's nice to have two servants. Go ahead and get busy, don't be bad. ”

"Yes, ma'am. Jones wiped his sweat violently, turned back to Dora, and said, "Let's start cleaning up." ”

"Hmm. Dora nodded helplessly.

There's still a lot to be done. Where do you think a place where snakes can be clean?

Especially after the hydra began to hibernate, the whole castle was quiet. As soon as it was quiet, the original tense atmosphere was gone, and the pungent smell became even more obvious. To clean up, you have to start with the "toilet" first......

Fortunately, the magic of the Bloodlines is generally not too bad, especially the Upper Bloods.

Jones stood far away, directly used magic to lift up the mountain of snake dung in the air, and then covered his nose and dragged it, little by little, to the castle. The whole process does not involve contact with snake droppings.

Dora, on the other hand, began to dig a pit outside the castle to bury snake droppings.

"Maybe I should go buy zombies first. Well, I only have enough money for one zombie. And zombies clean up...... It would be nice if zombies didn't make the hygiene worse. ”

Sometimes, Jones couldn't tell which was dirtier between zombie carrion and snake droppings.

......

At this moment, in the moonlight, Adolf stood on the cliff, looking in the direction of the castle from afar.

"What is he doing here? first helping Hydra hunt, and then helping Hydra clean up its feces? There wasn't even any fight in between?" Holding his wand, Adolf was a little confused: "In this case, shouldn't he summon the people of the Silver Moon Knights to come and hunt Hydra as soon as possible? Why do I feel that not only does he not want to hunt Hydra, but he also has some kind of agreement with Hydra? What is he trying to do?"

......

Jones kept running back and forth, carrying out the mountain of manure from the castle, and Dora's pit digging deeper and deeper.

"Huh?" Digging and digging, Dora suddenly saw something strange, and bent down to pick it up with half-squinted eyes. The next moment, Dora screamed, "Master Jones——!"

Jones hurriedly ran out of the castle: "What's wrong?"

"Lord Jones, look at this!" Dora hurriedly jumped out of the pit she had dug herself, and handed a piece of something to Jones.

Jones was stunned for a moment, quickly took it, and looked at the moonlight carefully: "This is...... Where did you get the gold?"

"Dig it out. ”

"There's a gold mine here? Wow! My luck has finally come!"

Cheers, Jones jumped into the pit that Dora had dug out.

......

From afar, Adolf looked expressionlessly, sighed slowly, and said to himself, "Yes, there is a gold mine. So this castle is actually worth 500,000 gold coins, not the 10,000 gold coins you bought. It took me a lot of thought to find this castle with a hydra, and it took a lot of thought to get it to you. But why don't you have the money to buy a castle when you, the adopted son of the Lich King, can't even find a few lichs to clean up the Hydra? and why...... What is the status of the Lich King's adopted son in the Lich King's camp?"

Adolf's eyes were half-squinted, and the more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand.

......

Suddenly a gold mine was discovered, and Jones's crisis was lifted at once.

Of course, the truth may not be as good as he thought. If it is in the human world, if you have a gold mine, no matter how small the scale of the gold mine is, it is a rich country. However, this is the Bloodline. His money will also be spent in the blood clan.

In the human world, 10,000 gold coins, that's an astronomical amount. If you are not a big man above the duke, it is basically impossible to take it. And in the Blood Clan, 10,000 gold coins is not a great number.

The same is gold as currency, the same gold, the same gold mine, but what is represented behind it may be an order of magnitude worse.

Of course, in any case, Jones interest is certainly affordable. After all, a gold mine can be worse than his father's two iron mines?

In a hurry, Jones rushed home and plunged into his father's study.

Thankfully, the Bloods are more knowledgeable than the Lich, but they're very knowledgeable compared to humans. Especially in Jones's father's study, where you can find books of almost any kind. Of course, it depends on Jones's father's interest.

Since the Jones family itself is also in the business of ore veins, it is natural that there are no books on mining.

"Okay, I'll need a few dwarven slaves who know how to mine, and then a bunch of zombies will help them out. So the question is, I only have one hundred and fifty-two gold coins, how can I buy dwarven slaves?"

"Maybe I should find a partner, after all, I already have a gold mine. Forehead...... Then the partner will know that I'm messing with a hydra. This idea skips. ”

"Maybe I should borrow some money from my father? Wait a minute...... I've got a way!"

Jones hurried to Hilde and found the goblin from the bank once again.

"What do you say? You're going to buy a dwarf with a loan, and then use the dwarf you buy as collateral?"

"Yes, it's like I bought a castle. ”

"Little master, this can't be. The goblin replied with a smile.

"Why?" Jones' eyes widened.

"The castle won't run, and even if you destroy the castle, the territory will still be there. Dwarven slaves can run away, they can die, and they can't be used as collateral. Unless, you keep him with me until the loan is paid off. But why would you want to take out a loan?"

Jones looked at the goblin with a blank expression.

The goblin also looked at him with a blank expression.

"I found gold in the castle's territory!"

"It's useless if you find a gem mine, that's the rule. ”

"You can come with me to see it!

"No, I don't want to go out, especially where there's a hydra. ”

Jones continued to look at the goblin with a blank expression.

The goblin also looked at him with a blank expression.

"Okay, I see, you're afraid I'll give you to Hydra as a snack, right?"

The goblin smiled slightly, revealing an expression that had already seen everything: "Little master, if you have any good projects in the future, welcome to come to us." We're happy to support entrepreneurs, but only if they have something to pledge. Also, we don't want to have anything to do with the castle with Hydra anymore. If you don't pay it back, we won't take back the castle. We will send your bill to Lord Lingzun. I'm talking about the Lich King. You know what I mean?"

Looking at the triumphant goblin, Jones took a deep breath, slowly spit it out again, and said through gritted teeth, "You will regret it." You missed an opportunity for me to forgive you. ”

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity and welcome back to our bank. The next ——!" the goblin rang the bell in his hand.

In desperation, Jones had no choice but to leave the bank. As he was leaving, he stood in the doorway and spat inside.

Yes, it's so tasteless. You don't have to have a product for a goblin who can't wait to tear it apart.

Do you go back and mine yourself? dig up rough gold ore, ship it here, sell it for money, and buy dwarven slaves?

This is definitely not going to work, the gold mine is not so easy to dig. A dwarven slave costs 2,000 gold coins, and it depends on Jones and Dora, how long does it take to dig up? It took a long time to find a grain of gold.

Hesitating, Jones finally had to come to Adair's castle.

Well, this is his only "really rich" "friend" left.

......

"Oh, my dear Brother Jones!" Adair hugged Jones again, "You don't know how much I miss you! You didn't show up at the last fraternity meeting, and I thought you were mad at me and wanted to quit my brotherhood! I'm so happy to see you! How about it, what's the matter with me? I've just asked two lovely Bloodline girls, would you like to go with me and have a nice night with them?"

"No, I don't want to go. I just want to borrow some money from you. Jones said with a blank face.

"How much do you want? As long as I can get it, I'll lend it to you!"

Take a look, that's what a generous friend looks like.

Jones hesitated and held out a finger: "Ten thousand gold coins." I can pay you two cents. Yes, two thousand gold coins per year. The same interest rate as a bank loan. "Literary
