The next day, Dora returned. With 1,100 gold coins that "don't have to be returned".

With the addition of Jones's own fifty-two gold coins, there are now a total of one thousand one hundred and fifty-two gold coins. There are 48,848 gold coins left before 50,000 gold coins......

Looking at the small pile of gold coins, Jones was already a little desperate. He has already decided to go to the sea as a companion, and go out to sea every day to fish to make money and pay off his debts, but the plan to establish a blood territory will eventually die without money?

After thinking about it for most of the day, he finally made a decision that he could do right away - sleep!

Yes, sleep, what else can you do but sleep?

It can only be said that he really didn't expect that he would return to the territory of the blood clan, let alone that he would want to buy a castle. In the past few years by Gray's side, if Jones wants to mix up some income, get a knighthood, or mix a smaller piece of human territory, it is actually very easy. Not to mention the baron, even the earl, there are a large number of people around who can give him one at any time. Although the income of the human territory is much worse than the income of the blood territory. But at least there's income, isn't it?

Darren IV, who had only reigned for a few months, tried to bribe him with 100,000 gold coins, but at that time, he "regarded money as dung" and "honestly" rejected the other party's dirty ideas. It seems a little too late to want it now......

Dora whispered comfortingly, "Master Jones, I think we can actually think of other ways. For example, we can make money ourselves. ”

"Do you want to send a courier again? Don't mention this kind of price drop to me. ”

"Maybe we can buy eleven zombies and send them to the old man's mine, and then ...... Let the master pay them wages?"

"In that case, it will take us about ten years to earn the 1,100 gold coins that we will spend. And there is no shortage of zombies in the mines. ”

With a "bang", Jones closed the lid of his coffin. A man hid in a coffin and sulked.

"Lord Jones?"

"Master Jones, you don't have to be sad. It's not a big deal either. Even if we can't afford to buy a castle, won't we be able to continue to live here? ”

"Lord Jones, you're young. Even if you are an adult bloodline, it is not easy to have a territory of your own. We can take our time and it'll be fine. ”

"Lord Jones, you really don't need to be in such a hurry. Money will always come slowly. Dora can also help earn, although Dora doesn't earn much......"

Jones pushed the coffin lid open a slit.

Dora was happy: "Master Jones, have you figured it out?"

"Don't disturb my sleep!"

With a "bang", the coffin lid was closed again.

Dora's face was lost.

Borrowing money is definitely not going to work, and there is no reliable way to make money.

"Maybe I should go out and get a job, be an adventurer?"

"By the way, the adventurer's team wants the Bloodline? We seem to be the target of adventurers' crusade. ”

"Maybe I can set a trap for adventurers to come and fight against me, and then make their money. ”

"But it also needs a castle......"

Recalling the self-introduction of the fraternity on the day, the society of the blood clan is a society of fighting fathers. No matter who comes out, they will be introduced: "Who is my father...... is who" as if you don't know him, but his father.

Do you want to give a low-born blood clan a way to live?

It's worse than the human world, it's terrible!

"Forget it, I'm still honest, waiting to go back to Salted Fish Harbor. When you go back this time, you must find a way to mix up a title, at least have a castle of your own, and have a territory of your own. I want everyone to know me because they want to know me, not because I'm the adopted son of a paladin who wants to know my dad. ”

Thinking about it, Jones closed his eyes, however, tossing and turning, he couldn't sleep, and he couldn't sleep.

The plan to buy a castle ignited his enthusiasm, and now he can't extinguish it. His mind was full of the flooded castle. Although it was flooded, although it smelled of fish everywhere, and it was probably full of salt when it was sunburned, at least it was a castle, wasn't it?

You can start a new life, a new plan, there. Although zombies are making money a little slower, at least they are earning. I have an infinite lifespan, and slowly, I can always pay off my debts. Pity......

Maybe it was a bumpy time worth remembering after he became the Great Blood Lord.

Thinking about it, Jones suddenly felt that the flooded castle had become cute, as if it had a fateful connection with himself.

"It was there silently waiting for me, but I couldn't afford it...... I wonder how long it can wait for me?"

Jones felt like crying a little bit, and there was a feeling of falling out of love.

It's like the dragon is in love with the treasure, and I heard that the great blood lords are in love with the castle. Jones seemed to be in that state all at once. The object of love is a flooded castle.

"Lord Jones?"

Dora's voice came again, and Joneston, who had been interrupted from his fantasy, was angry and suddenly opened the lid ......of the coffin: "I told you I'm going to sleep!

Before he could finish speaking, Jones was stunned.

Because next to Dora, there was a goblin standing.

"Hey, little master, do you still know me? The goblin smiled.

"Uh......" Jones asked hesitantly, "I saw a lot of goblins yesterday, which one are you?" sorry, you all look the same. They are all green, and they all have eyes and noses. ”

"We met at the bank. The goblin grinned.

"Are you the goblin of the bank?" Jones' eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Yes. That's right, it's me. ”

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

"Don't you want to buy a castle? We have a new batch of options that we would like to offer you to consider. As he spoke, the goblin pulled out three pieces of paper and handed them over.

"Oh, is it?" Jones said, taking the paper with a blank face, and looked at it pretendedly.

Why "pretend" to look at it? Because I can't afford it anyway.

The first, a castle in the northern part of the Colin Peninsula, is a short distance from Jones' house. There is no day or night, and the climate is basically the same as that of the Jones family in all aspects, except that there are three veins, one of which is a rich mine. The price is 120,000 gold coins.

This seems like a good deal, but I still can't afford it.

The second, the castle in the southern part of the Kolin Peninsula. It's quite far from Jones' house. Day and night, abundant and seafront, the nearest port is only a day's walk away. It is very suitable for doing some business that exports to various parts of the mainland. In addition to the plains suitable for farming, there are rivers, lakes, and two mineral veins, and the scenery is pleasant. The price is 220,000 gold coins.

This can be said to be quite a good deal, but it is still unaffordable.

The third, the castle in the western part of the Kolin Peninsula. There is a difference between day and night, surrounded by mountains, jungles, rivers, abundant products, and unexplored minerals. The disadvantage is that it takes half a month to walk to the nearest Bloodline Castle to the castle, which is equivalent to having no neighbors. There are also monsters infested, whether it is a farm or a mining area, they are likely to be harassed. In addition, human adventurers do not visit regularly. Selling price......

"Huh, 10,000 gold coins, so cheap?"

"Yes. The goblin grinned excitedly and said, "The former owner of this castle was in a hurry to sell, so we bought it at a low price." Honestly, it's quite a nice castle. Are you interested in this?"

"There is interest, but the money may not be enough. Jones silently folded the three sheets of paper together and handed them back.

"Don't you have 10,000 gold coins?" the goblin wiped his sweat, but pushed Jones's hand back, "How many do you have?" ”

"I have one thousand one hundred and fifty-two gold coins. Jones said with a blank face.

The goblin's expression froze a little: "This ...... It's a bit excessive. Ten thousand gold coins is already very low, do you still expect me to give you a discount?"

"Or if you're willing to lend me some money, I can pay interest. I mean, pay a little bit. Symbolic. ”

"Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to borrow money, maybe you could borrow it again?"

"Actually, the 1,100 gold coins were borrowed. Or can you help me find out if there's a castle that's only worth a thousand gold?"

The goblin didn't know how to get down the sentence, so he could only break out in a cold sweat.

Jones and the goblin were expressionless, frozen at each other.

After a while, it was the goblins who couldn't hold it out first. He said helplessly: "Wait a minute, let me think about it first." ”

As he spoke, he walked to a corner by the window, lit a cigarette, and looked out the window as he smoked, as if trying to think.

Jones looked at the goblin quizzically.

After a while, the goblin came back and whispered, "You, do you have anything to pledge? ”

Jones thought for a moment and said, "Is the castle okay? I'll mortgage the castle to you." ”

"This?" the goblin looked around.

"Yes, this one. Jones gestured to the introduction in his hand.

The scene was a little stiff again.

It is clear that the goblin thought that the mortgage Jones was talking about was his father's castle. And what Jones was referring to was obviously this castle worth 10,000 gold coins.

Dora's gaze kept going back and forth between the two of them.

The goblins began to break out in a frantic cold sweat again. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Deal." ”

"Deal?" Jones was shocked. Can it still be like this?

"Yes, it's a deal!" the goblin took a deep breath and said, "I'll lend you nine thousand gold coins, and you can buy this castle for another ten thousand gold coins, and then mortgage the castle to me." In this way, you pay a thousand gold coins to get this castle, and at the same time you owe us nine thousand gold coins. Two cents of interest are paid every year, which is the interest of 1,800 gold coins. Interest is paid annually. How?"

"Deal. ”

"Deal. ”

The goblin quickly opened his briefcase, took out a bunch of template contracts from it, and filled it out.

In just a while, it's all done.

A contract for the purchase of the castle and a contract for a mortgage were handed to Jones.

After carefully reviewing the terms of the contract, Jones signed his name on it.

And, of course, pay.

With everything all taken care of, the goblin handed Jones another box. It includes the exact coordinates of the castle, a topographical map of the surrounding area, a marker of the extent of the territory, and a title deed stamped with the seal of the Senate of the Bloodline.

The two silently shook hands.

Jones is probably the only castle ever bought without having to look at it live. The main thing is that this castle is really cheap, cheaper than a flooded castle.

Looking at the box in his hand, Jones couldn't believe it. That's it, the castle is there?

"If it's okay, young master, then I'll go first. The goblin whispered.

After a moment of silence, Jones asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me why you suddenly gave me such generous terms?"

The goblin was also silent for a moment, and then replied, "Because we updated your identity information yesterday, Little Master, and found that you are actually a prince. ”

"Your Royal Highness?"

"You are the adopted son of the Lich King. The goblin grinned.

Well, Jones can't escape Gray's shadow after all. I have to say that the word "lich" is really valuable in this world, and after adding "king", it is even more valuable.

In any case, the castle is finally in hand, a "small goal", achieved. Also in hand was a two-cent loan of 9,000 gold coins. Starting today, Jones is going to have to live a hard life paying off his debts, even though he hasn't figured out how to make money yet.

"So, now you're going to take me to see the castle?"

"No, actually, I haven't been. It's too far, and I can't fly. Little master, now it's yours. You can look at it yourself by following the map. I asked my blood colleagues to send me here, and you can find me at the bank in half a day. ”

"Okay, that's fine. But why am I going to look for you after half a day?"

Sending off the goblins, Jones took Dora, flapped his wings and set off, flying all the way to the southwest, anxious. As for the flooded castle, which was just like a lover, I don't know where Jones has forgotten about it.

"Oh, harassment from human adventurers, it's not a problem at all. As long as I hang the banner of the Knights of the Silver Moon......"

Half a day later......

"Grass and mud horses!" Jones roared at the goblins from the counter in Heard's bank, "There's a hydra living in the castle!"

"Yes, I told you there are monsters. ”

"But you didn't say that the monster is a hydra, or a hydra that lives in my castle! Why don't you sell me the castle that lives in a dragon?"

"Didn't I say that? I'm sorry, I probably forgot. ”

"I'm going to terminate the contract!"

"Our bank has always adhered to the principle of 'customer first', and if it is due to quality issues, we are happy to terminate the contract unconditionally. Of course, you'll still have to pay a year's worth of interest. ”

"There's a hydra in there!"

"Sorry, Hydra isn't a quality issue. You should buy a castle and give away a hydra. The goblin replied with a blank face.

Jones's eyes widened, and he was trembling with anger.
