Chapter 713: The Charm of Gold
1,000,000 gold soles is not a small amount. This war donation is divided according to the proportion of shares of the Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce, and the Randall family only needs to cash out 200,000 gold soles, Sylvia actually wants the Randall family to bear this cost alone, how could Victor agree?
Victor grossly underestimated a woman's passion for gold, and the two transcendent knights, Sylvia and Trisley, were no exception.
Whether he used the authority of the Swordmaster of Fury, the dignity of his husband, or the gentle methods of his lover, or even the secret tricks of the court on Sylvia and Trisley, they just didn't agree to return the 1,000,000 gold sor war contribution to him.
Victor stayed at Red Frosttree Manor for another ten days, battling wits and courage with Sylvia and Trisley, and the fun was self-evident, but the issue of war donations was still inconclusive.
As a last resort, His Royal Highness Randall, as the majority shareholder of the Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce, held an impromptu meeting to discuss the largest dividend of the Chamber of Commerce, and let the high-ranking female knights of Centaur Hills deal with Sylvia and Trisley. The lords of the Participating Chamber of Commerce gathered together and began to divide up the 20 million gold soles shipped from the Kingdom of Neville.
Originally, this wealth could be used to issue the purple gold coins of Horse Hills, but with His Royal Highness Randall taking the lead, the rest of the shareholders all supported the distribution first, and the Duke of York strongly opposed it to no avail, and finally Victor took a convoy loaded with 6 million gold soles and embarked on a journey to Pinghu Town.
The Randall family holds 20% of the shares of the Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce, plus the 3 million gift money given by King Rex to the Furious Wind Sword Saint, and the 200,000 war donations, Victor should actually take 6.8 million gold soles. Therefore, the 800,000 gold sol still fell into Sylvia's pocket.
Seeing the boxes of yellow, orange, and orange gold coins loaded onto the carriage and crushed the wheels to the bottom, Victor's heart was also full of satisfaction, thinking of the 800,000 gold sol that Sylvia wanted to leave, although he was reluctant, he couldn't really get angry.
The Guardian of the Centaur Hills did not have any private money, and Sylvia only had to tell the butler to use it, and the Duke of York would be responsible for raising it. However, Randall's wife should have money in her hands. They are preparing to start their own family, and since Sylvia and Trisley want to experience the joy of their wife's money, how can Victor let Embiter's fat pig meddle in his family finances?
800,000 gold soles can make 16 alchemy dragon lizards, and Victor now has a full 6 million gold soles in his hands, so it doesn't matter if there are 16 alchemy dragon lizards.
In fact, the cost performance of the Alchemy Dragon Lizard is far inferior to that of the Level 3 Source Blood Militia, they have an additional life tenacity talent on the basis of the Level 3 Gripen Militia, with super stamina, strong physique, slight self-healing, and the ability to endure the environment. The cost of the third-level Source Blood Militia is the same as that of the third-level Gripen Militia, which is only 4866 gold soles.
Victor had never had such a lot of money on his hands as he did now, and he began to look ahead to a level 4 Source Blood Militia that cost 7,800 gold soles.
The convoy of gold transporters entered Randall's territory in 31 days, and Nicole, Lilia, Alina, and Alice led their attendants to meet Victor's car at the border post.
It was already the cold water season, and the four ladies of the Randall family were dressed up in snow-white fox fur cloaks, which looked particularly delicate.
Victor got out of the carriage, and they curtsied, and said in unison, "Good day, Your Highness, welcome to your triumphant return." ”
"No need to be polite. Victor stepped forward and hugged the four ladies in turn, kissed their delicate cheeks, and finally took Nicole's slender hand and asked with a smile, "Honey, I miss you all the time, and it's good to see you." ”
"I miss you too. Nicole gazed affectionately into Victor's eyes, her expression gradually surprised, "Honey, why don't you have a golden ring in your eyes?"
"My eyes were black all the time. ”
Victor deliberately cut into the state of the mist soul, which was more intimate and made his woman not have too much pressure.
"Oh...... Is the carriage behind all the gold?" Nicole let go of Victor's hand and walked towards the convoy with her eyes shining, and Lilia and Sister Alina followed.
The smile froze on his face, and Victor faintly felt that it was not good. I'm afraid that this money has long been targeted by four women.
My husband returned from an expedition, reunited after a long absence, and didn't cry his nose, why did he circle around the gold carriage one by one?
The four ladies were enthusiastically judging around a horse-drawn carriage transporting gold, and Victor secretly slandered himself, feeling inexplicably lost in his heart. Charlotte walked over, grabbed his arm, and said empathetically, "Anyone who sees 6 million gold coins for the first time will inevitably get carried away with excitement. ”
Victor patted Charlotte's little hand, lowered his voice, and sighed: "You can withstand the temptation of gold, and you are worthy of being my Knight of Oath." ”
Charlotte covered her mouth and snickered, "When I counted the gold coins in Jinshui City, I had already rolled on them. ”
“......” Victor shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Okay, my partners are actually dragon veins. ”
"You too. Charlotte smiled charmingly and pecked Victor in the face quickly.
Nicole and the others had to inspect each of their carriages, asking the coachman if there was anything wrong with the axles, and ordering the attendants to climb into the carriage and count the chests of gold coins. If this continues, when it gets dark, the convoy will not be able to hit the road.
Victor finally lost his patience, and in full view of everyone, despite the protests of the four "Dragon Vein" ladies, he carried them into his car one by one, closed the car door, and ordered the convoy to march towards Silvermoon Manor.
The elaborate carriage of the silver-white tower drove smoothly and the bell sounded crisply, and no one knew that Victor had taught the four ladies a lesson inside. When the convoy drove into the Silvermoon Manor, they finally returned to normal, their faces crimson and their eyes like water, and they hugged Victor into the lord's mansion.
In the elegant and luxurious hall, dozens of beautiful maids lined up in two lines, led by the deputy butler, bowed to Victor and said coquettishly: "Welcome the master back to Silvermoon Manor." ”
After almost three years away from Randall, Victor found that the maids in the Silvermoon Manor had added many new faces, and those slightly older maids were not here, so they should have been married. He walked to the back of the line, stopped, looked down at a little maid about ten years old, and couldn't help but laugh: "Bell, why have you gained weight again?"
Bertina was dressed in a red and white maid dress, wearing half-heeled calfskin boots on her feet, she looked a little taller, but in fact she didn't, her little face was fleshy, obviously fatter than three years ago, but she was still as cute as ever.
Pure big eyes blinked a few times, as if to confirm that Victor still loved him, Bell flattened his mouth, wow, threw himself into Victor's arms, tears and snot were wiped on his clothes, and cried and said: "Master, Bell misses you so much......"
Victor didn't expect that the tears he harvested when he went home were actually Chubby Dun Bell's.
"The dinner party is about to begin, and if you cry again, Madame Alina will not allow you to attend the dinner. Victor picked up little Bell and comforted her with a scare.
Bell quickly rubbed his eyes and asked with a choked voice, "Master, have I grown taller?"
Where did you grow taller? Obviously, you only grow meat, but you don't grow taller...... Victor looked at Bell's serious and expectant look, and changed his words when the words came to his mouth, "Well, I've grown a little taller, ordinary people can't see it, but I see Bell grow taller." ”
"Really, how much higher?"
"Well...... Victor raised his hand and gestured slightly, deciding to distract Bell, "Silly big guy is in the back, he's so good now, you go ask him." ”
Bell slipped from Victor's arms to the ground, lifted his skirt, stomped on the floor, and rushed out as fast as he could.
"Hehe, it's pretty fast. Victor retracted his gaze, turned to Nicole, and asked, "The little one seems to have something on his mind." ”
Nicole stepped forward and grabbed Victor's arm, and said as she walked: "Seeing that the former sisters got married, gave birth to children, and even their children called themselves sisters, Bell was a little anxious. She eats enough food a day to eat two warriors, but she doesn't grow taller. Pastor Dane and Father Miller didn't see anything wrong with her. ”
Like Caligula, Bertina was also valued by Father Miller. Aka is now a golden-tier fierce warrior who has mastered the Heroic Divine Technique and Psychic Touch, and is evolving into a Radiant God of War. Victor has expectations for the little wizard who has his own lucky aura, is naturally charming, and eats a lot and doesn't grow tall.
"I might be able to help her, but ...... This look of Bertina is quite cute. Victor said.
The dinner to welcome the lord's return was held at Silvermoon Manor, attended by Victor's first followers and the Randall Lord's top bringers. The party lasted until midnight, and due to the cold weather and heavy fog, Alina arranged for everyone to stay at Silvermoon Manor and leave the next day. Anyway, the Silver Moon Manor has a vast area, many houses, and very generous accommodation.
Father Miller was the only one who insisted on going back to the church in Pinghu Town for fear that Victor would ask him questions. High Priest Dane originally wanted to stay in Silvermoon Manor and get close to the Raging Wind Sword Saint to see if he could make some money for the church, but the priest stationed there was leaving, and the clergy led by Randall had to say goodbye to their master.
Unimpressed, Victor saw off Father Miller, and he returned to the lord's mansion to take a comfortable hot bath in the service of Sister Alina.
Walking into the master bedroom on the third floor, Victor lay on the bed for a while, and Nicole and Lilia were late.
Seeing that his two wives were still dressed in formal dresses, Victor was furious, sat up and said, "It's so late, you still have to go and count the gold?"
Nicole smiled, took the initiative to offer a fragrant kiss, held Victor's face, and said softly, "Don't be angry, dear...... Lilia and I went to see if the gold was in storage...... There are so many coins in this batch that we are worried that the vault prepared in advance will not fit in. ”
"Roll on the pile of gold coins and sleep on it?" said Victor amusedly.
"That's the right thing to do, it's my job. Lilia wrinkled her nose mischievously.
Victor reached out and grabbed her, trying to pin the little fortune fan to his knee and spank him. Lilia, dressed in high heels, turned lightly and gracefully stepped aside, still grabbed by Victor's wrists.
Victor let go of Lilia and asked in surprise, "The power works flawlessly, have you ignited the fire of your heart?"
Lilia pursed her lips and smiled, nodded, and said smugly: "Half a year ago, I practiced the Gripen Combat Technique, and I was lucky enough to ignite the fire of my heart, and that feeling is particularly wonderful......"
The Gripen's skills are theoretically capable of igniting a psychic fire, and the first time Victor has seen an instance of it, and it was Lilia. He is happy with what Lilia has achieved and is more interested in her internal and external changes. But there is no need to rush this matter.
"Honey, you really surprised me. Victor smiled, turned to look at the red-haired twin sisters, and said, "If you want to count the gold coins, then go for them." ”
"Honey, let Charlotte accompany you tonight. Nicole said apologetically, her eyes sparkling.
Victor stood up, and Shi Shiran said, "Who said I was going to sleep? ”
Charlotte poked her head out of the back room and said with a smile, "And my ......"
