Princess Victoria's letter is nothing more than a commendation for Luo Ming, and then an endorsement of the various means he has adopted in this operation, proving that they are all legal and reasonable in line with the wishes of the royal family, so that he can feel at ease.

The rest is all high-sounding nonsense.

If he were like the one who fought with Luo Ming at the banquet, a man like him who had a love for the princess, would have been eager to take every word to heart, and even put his face on it to smell the fragrance of the princess on the letterhead.

However, people like Luo Ming, who had already seen many star-chasing clans in their previous lives, naturally would not fall for this hook.

After he kept the letter away, he began to take stock of his finances during this time at his leisure.

It is not too much to say that it is financed - no matter how young he is, he is also a knight, and in that knight's collar he is a miniature prince, and even if his money bag is a treasury, then there is naturally no problem with calling it finance.

First of all, it was the coil he had brought all the way from the territory, which was two hundred gold coins when he set out, and now there were one hundred and eighty-three left. Mainly because of traveling with Charlotte, I saved a lot of expenses.

Then there was the reward he had received for his advice to the princess—the matter was not made public, and the reward was given in private.

The reward was a gold bar equivalent to about 300 gold coins, with the coat of arms of the royal family on it, in a small wooden box, which was easier to carry and less likely to show off wealth.

Winning several jousting competitions, or going to work as a referee, brought Luo Ming an income of thirty-five gold coins.

Next, there is the tuition fee received by the apprentice during this period - Luo Ming charges a relatively small tuition, and so far there are only twenty-three gold coins.

There was also the brooch that he had won the duel with Elo Bagrathi, which could cast a primary toxin relief spell, and was worth about sixty or seventy gold coins.

In this way, there is already a net income of more than 400 gold coins, and it can be said that Luo Ming's debt can be regarded as being able to pay off half of it.

It is no wonder that many people see Brandon as the city of opportunity, the city of wealth.

But there is another huge income, although not in Brandon, but not to be underestimated.

That's how much Lomin earned in the city of Bajina—mostly by scheming and blackmail.

Luo Ming asked the big families for a special fund of 360 gold coins for killing the gnolls, saying that it was used to hire enough people to kill the gnolls together and not give them a chance to escape. Nominally, the money was also spent in its entirety.

But he knew best that two hundred and forty gold coins had fallen directly into his own hands.

The reason is also simple, even almost blameless - he hired two swordsmen, each of whom was paid one hundred and twenty gold coins.

For such a short-term task, spending more than a hundred gold coins to hire a swordsmith is a bit expensive, but it is not ridiculously expensive.

And those two swordsmen are naturally Grant and Luo Ming.

There's also a play on words: as a knight and princess commissioner, Luo Ming is tasked with taking down the gnolls, but he doesn't necessarily have to use the power of the swordsman rank at this point.

As a swordsman, Luo Ming can be regarded as another person, accepting the employment and doing things, abiding by the tradition of mercenaries.

It's like a nobleman who wears several titles at the same time. Even if a king accidentally inherits a foreign title, he may contribute to Party A as a baron of Party A for a while, and speak for Party B as a viscount of Party B for a while...... Even when Party A and Party B are at war, he can send an army to each side to help, and the army for Party A is only the standard of a baron, and the army of Party B is only the standard of a viscount.

And Grant has no problem with Luo Ming intercepting the money in her name, just asking him to write down this account, and when she wants to use the money in the future, Luo Ming will pay for it and slowly deduct it from this account.

In addition, there were thirty gold coins used to bribe Luo Ming, and with that bill, the money was successfully withdrawn from the gold shop.

Of course, this bribe didn't make Luo Ming shield the group of fools in Bajina City, but instead made him knock on an extra bamboo bar, but since they knew that they couldn't beat Luo Ming, they simply let the money go down the drain - they couldn't declare the bill invalid, it would make Luo Ming, who was finally fed with gold, resentful again, and it would definitely not be good for Bajina City.

Next, the coins, gold, silver, goods, grain, etc., copied from the gnolls, as well as the "hardship fee" for the return of some of the goods...... A total of one hundred and eighty-five gold coins were brought to Luo Ming.

Although two hundred gold coins were handed over to the royal family, after the payment of those benefits obtained from the city of Bajina, there were still two hundred and fifty-three gold coins left.

Adding up the general ledger, Luo Ming now has four hundred and ninety-six gold coins on his body, in addition to the gold bars equivalent to three hundred gold coins, and the brooch that Luo Ming didn't want to sell casually.

Luo Ming is in Brandon, of course, he will buy some things, and will hire some people to bring back his territory with him, but even so, he will be able to bring back the territory with a lot more gold than when he set out.

So, what will the merchant Goth, who borrowed a thousand gold coins from Luo Ming before, think when he sees this scene?

First of all, that guy will definitely not shout for Luo Ming to repay the money immediately - the kind of guy who keeps urging debts will always be annoying, as long as he is sure that the other party has the ability to repay on time, the creditor will definitely not rush around, and even reassure the other party with good words, so that he will not pull down the trick of repaying the debt.

According to Granty, when she was working as a mercenary, she happened to hear that a mercenary had been secretly hired by a nobleman to kill a nearby shopkeeper and run away.

It's probably not a matter of hatred, because the shopkeeper works as a money lender...... It is estimated that the nobleman owes him a sum of money, and he doesn't want to pay it back, so he just does it.

Moreover, a person who has a very good ability to repay and can make money is simply a first-class customer for a businessman who lends money, and he is simply afraid of melting in the palm of his hand.

Perhaps, the goth guy will take the initiative to come to the door and ask Luo Ming if he needs a larger amount of loan, because the more Luo Ming borrows, the more money he will pay back at that time......

Luo Ming just thought about this matter and put it aside.

Next, it was the part he was looking forward to: Aya was finally done with the soul of that hapless Roque, and now she had to make a summary of the tasks that she and Her Highness the Black Sun had issued to Luo Ming, and then release the reward.
