The northernmost part of the town of Brand is the castle of Baron Roy.

The castle stands alone on a cliff, and it looks a little steep.

Although it is a little far from the town, the Baron's castle is not lacking in liveliness, because Baron Roy came here from his family, but he brought many guards and subordinates.

After all, he is the second son of His Excellency the Grand Duke, and he is directly referred to as the successor of the Vlad Kimir family, so there are still these scenes.

Although the family, including the entire Dark Empire, was reluctant to admit this waste second son, the words of the Grand Duke were golden rules. If he personally said that he would strictly honor the treatment of the title, then our Baron Roy would be treated in accordance with the standard of the Baronial title of the Dark Empire. And in addition to the monthly salary, the family also gives a certain subsidy, and the subordinates and guards brought by the family also pay more than the standard every month.

Today's castle, however, is different from the past, and the castle is not as busy and noisy as it used to be.

The flowers in the garden at the entrance are still in full bloom, and the tables and chairs inside and outside the hall are also bright and new.

But now there is not even half a figure in the whole castle, as if everyone has suddenly evaporated.

At this moment, the hall of the castle was unusually quiet, and on the long table in the center, five copper coins were neatly placed.

Our 'Roy' Baron......

Oh no, he should be called Li Yanbei now.

Li Yanbei lay lazily on the table like this, looking at the copper coin in front of him with a resentful expression.

"Miserable......"

There was a wail of lovelessness, and Li Yanbei's face was full of bitterness.

"If this is to be put in the past, I don't believe it when I was killed, but Uncle Ben also had such a time of poverty. ”

An hour ago, Li Yanbei drove all his subordinates and guards back to the family. and brought a message to His Excellency the Grand Duke, saying that he wanted to hire guards and subordinates by himself, and all the expenses of these people were exchanged by the family for silver coins and handed over to him.

Li Yanbei wasn't sure if the family would agree, because this kind of request was too strange. Is there a baron in the entire Dark Light Continent who doesn't even have a subordinate by his side, and he also receives the money for hiring subordinates into his pocket?

Besides, these people's expenses cost a lot of money.

Let's calculate it this way, a subordinate will cost about ten silver coins per month, and the guards of the second order or so of the dark power will probably need about thirty silver coins per person.

Li Yanbei brought a total of ten subordinates from the Vlad Kimir family, and twenty second-order intermediate guards of the Dark Power. In this way, it is 700 silver coins per month. As a baron, his monthly salary was 100 silver coins, and the family also gave a subsidy of 100 silver coins, so after he drove all his subordinates and guards away, he could receive 900 silver coins a month.

The currency of the Dark Light Continent is universal, and the silver coins are also very solid hard goods. Gold coins are pure gold and silver coins are pure silver. One thousand copper coins for one silver coin, and one thousand silver coins for one gold coin.

An ordinary person's monthly expenses are only about a dozen silver coins, and Li Yanbei has an income of nine hundred silver coins per month, which is really worth a rich merchant in a first-class city.

Besides, according to Roy's previous style of wasting a lot of money in the gold cave, it will definitely be thought that this guy is going back to his old business, thinking of what this guy used to do, will Grand Duke Vlad Kimir really agree?

But then again, it stands to reason that Li Yanbei should be carefree and happy on this continent.

After all, his baron's income is really not low, and the family still gives so many subsidies.

But things are often so weird in the world, and now Li Yanbei can take out these five copper coins all over his body.

Although they are the same body, Li Yanbei is completely different from that Roy who spends all his days drinking.

Li Yanbei is poor for a reason.

There are many races in the Dark Light Continent, and the blood clan he is in now is one of the human races.

The exercises practiced by the blood clan are very peculiar, as mentioned above, they rely on absorbing the dark power in the blood to evolve the exercises.

Li Yanbei scoffed at this method, although he had never heard of this kind of practice, but as a great cultivator who cultivated the True Dao, he knew that if he put the Blood Clan's exercises into his original interface, he would definitely be beaten into the ranks of the Evil Demon Outer Dao.

He didn't bother to cultivate like this, so he had to follow the old path.

As a cave realm that has been crisscrossing the world for hundreds of years, Li Yanbei knows very well that if he doesn't have the strength, it will be difficult to move an inch no matter where he is.

He didn't want to live like that, even if he was a different guy now.

Although he is still burdened with the name of waste, he definitely does not want to just mix it up.

Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, he started his cultivation journey again according to his original method of cultivation.

But this is the Otherworldly Continent, and the things he needs are all aliens in this interface, although many things are not difficult to find, but with his current economic ability, it is absolutely difficult to afford.

Let's just say that a few days ago, he asked Fiona to find the Dan furnace forged by the blacksmith, and he had basically hollowed out his family.

It's not that there is a shortage of copper ore and iron ore at this interface, but because his requirements for the Dan furnace are too high.

First of all, this refined iron has been purified 7749 times, and 12,000 catties of iron have been scrapped in this process alone. Then there is casting, just talking about the gossip array that Li Yanbei asked for on the Dan furnace, it will take dozens of days of carving by craftsmen to complete, not to mention other polishing and smelting.

However, the cost of work was not expensive, and more than a dozen craftsmen only needed fifteen silver coins. But this 12,000 catties of iron plus the purification fee is a bit unacceptable to him.

The price of three catties of raw iron is exactly twenty copper coins, so the conversion of this raw material requires eighty silver coins. And the purification fee was even more ridiculously expensive, and 12,000 catties of iron actually collected a full twenty silver coins. Therefore, after casting this Dan furnace, it cost Li Yanbei one hundred and ten silver coins.

This amount of money is more than a month for him as a baron, although the family will give him a monthly subsidy of fifty silver coins, but he knows that the path of cultivation has just begun.

Now he has a top priority to refine Tsukidan first.

After weighing the remaining silver coins, he pulled out a list full of materials needed for Tsukidan and handed it to Fiona to buy them on the black market in Black Rock City.

He knew that perhaps the materials on this interface were different from his original Xiuzhen Continent name, so he marked the appearance and efficacy of all the materials in detail on the list.

When it comes to Fiona, maybe you don't know who she is. In fact, she was also sent by the Vlad Kimir family to protect Li Yanbei's safety.

It's just that this Fiona is different from the other guards, and her family is a descendant of the Vlad Kimir family.

Fiona has the strength of the fourth order intermediate level of the dark power, and this level of realm can be regarded as a good hand in the entire Vlad Kimir family.

She originally served in the personal guard of the Grand Duke of Vlad Kimir, but due to the particularity of Li Yanbei's status as the baron and heir of the family, the Grand Duke personally ordered her to be transferred to personally protect Li Yanbei's safety.

However, the real reason why Li Yanbei left her was not entirely because of her strength, in fact, for Li Yanbei, the main reason for leaving Fiona was because she was taciturn and not good at words.

Let's put it this way, after being in contact with Li Yanbei for more than half a year, Fiona may have spoken to him for less than a hundred words.

For this kind of person who cherishes words like gold, Li Yanbei is very satisfied. After all, there are too many secrets, and what to do next will also make the vast majority of people in this interface dumbfounded, so it is still necessary to leave a strong person who does not like to talk to protect himself.

Speaking of this Dan furnace casting, Fiona did it very satisfying to Li Yanbei.

Originally, everyone would be a little curious about making such a strange big furnace at this interface, but after Li Yanbei explained this matter to her, she didn't even hesitate or be curious, and went out to find a blacksmith with silver coins and drawings. And in less than two months, this Dan furnace was cast.

Seeing the Dan furnace safely placed in his practice room, Li Yanbei's mood was very comfortable, and then he handed over all the silver coins he had to Fiona and asked her to purchase all the materials needed for Zhuji Dan.

Fiona's work efficiency really did not disappoint Li Yanbei, and after only a few days, most of the materials were purchased, and only a few rare ones were missing.

The speed of material preparation far exceeded Li Yanbei's imagination, and after he was resurrected to this interface, he was also rarely happy.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and after a few days of his happiness, he suddenly found that the savings on hand had been exhausted, and he could not even afford the basic expenses of his future life.

Remembering that there were still a few materials left, and then looking at his money bag, Li Yanbei gritted his teeth and made a decision, which is why at the beginning we saw that none of the guards in the Baron Castle were missing, and he himself looked at the five copper coins in a daze.

His fingers gently flicked the copper coins on the table, and Li Yanbei looked dish.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed, but he immediately returned to normal.

"It's back. ”

Li Yanbei said hello lazily, and then still lay on the table and pretended to be dead.

And as Li Yanbei's voice echoed in the hall dissipated, a slender figure slowly appeared in the hall.

The short brown and yellow hair over the ears felt a little sassy, and a few strands of broken hair on the forehead were half-covered and half-covered on the cold and indifferent eyes. And the little cold light emanating from these eyes like a cold night also added a bit of color to the white and snowy face.

She is dressed in a black power suit, with a deep sense of charm with her concave and convex lines, and the bright red pattern on the cuff of her right arm is the unique decoration of the Vlad Kimir family's bloody guards.

Hearing Li Yanbei's words, Fiona's expression did not fluctuate at all. She raised her hand slightly, and a black cloth bag appeared on the table in front of Li Yanbei.

Li Yanbei yawned and stretched, and then looked at Fiona with a worried expression.

"What is this?"

The cloth bag was opened, and a stack of yellow table paper appeared in front of him.

"I'll go, and they'll really do it. ”

Li Yanbei raised his eyebrows, his face was quite happy.

"I thought I couldn't make a paper mill in this shabby place. ”

With a cold gaze shining on Li Yanbei's face, Fiona said lightly,

"As long as there is money, there is nothing they can't make. ”

Hearing the word money, the joy on Li Yanbei's face instantly dissipated.

He looked at the five copper coins left on the table, and his mood that had just recovered fell to the bottom again.

"What about the others? Did you find anything else?"

Li Yanbei looked at Fiona with a slightly gloomy expression.

Fiona nodded slightly.

"According to your description, I found what you called the Ice Orchid. ”

Hearing this, Li Yanbei's shoulders trembled slightly.

"Ice Orchid!"

He knew very well that this Ice Orchid was an indispensable main material for Tsukidan.

Seeing Li Yanbei's excitement, Fiona still didn't have any expression on her face.

"Yes. However, the Ice Orchid you are talking about is actually the Yelan Grass. ”

Li Yanbei waved his hand impatiently.

"Leave it alone, did you buy it?"

Fiona shook her head.

Li Yanbei was stunned.

"Didn't buy it?"

Looking at the five copper coins on the table, Fiona said quietly,

"There is not enough money. ”

In the blink of an eye, Li Yanbei silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"How much does it cost?"

Fiona lowered her eyes faintly.

"Three hundred silver coins. ”

Hearing this, Li Yanbei suddenly jumped up from his chair.

"Three hundred silver coins!"

His eyes widened, and he clenched his fists viciously.

"Why don't they rob it!"
