Lady Fortune's priest, divided into 5 levels.

The beginner and intermediate ranks are called the Bronze Priest and the Silver Priest respectively, the senior and legendary are called the Bishops, who are the Gold Coin Bishops and the Crystal Coin Bishops, respectively, and the Supreme Leader of the Church is the Holy Coin Archbishop who sits in O'Hara Cathedral.

As for Ms. Charlotte, she is very famous in the Fortune Lady's church, and she is even more powerful in Thousand Sails City.

At the age of less than 30, he is already a bishop of gold coins, overseeing the affairs of the Church of the Goddess of Commerce in the Ilia Peninsula, and it can be said that Griffith was able to get his summons, which can be said to be lucky. Every day, I don't know how many people dig out their hearts to talk to this bishop but can't get it.

Griffith never thought he would get the other man's attention.

"Anna, do the math, how much money I have left on my hands. ”

"About 2,000 Golden Dragons, Master Griffith. ”

"Looks like I'm going to take on a debt. Griffith smiled wryly.

The value of the symbiotic contract, Griffiths is completely blinded, with the style of the Church of the Goddess of Commerce, it is almost inevitable to be slaughtered. However, since Ms. Charlotte is willing to take the time to meet her, it should not be difficult to borrow money - money lending is an important business of the Church of the Goddess of Commerce, and the only thing that makes people criticize is that the interest rate is a bit high.

Early the next morning, Griffith went out with Vicente and Hansen without even transcribing the scroll.

The church of the goddess of commerce is located in the center of the aristocratic district, diagonally opposite the town hall, the temple covers an extremely large area, the height of the main hall is more than 20 meters, and the golden domed cathedral is definitely one of the most striking buildings in the city of thousand sails.

"This is my master, Sir Griffith Caroling, who has been invited to meet Bishop Charlotte to-day. Vicente and the guards he knew knew made his intentions known, and Griffith was invited to a side hall.

Although it is only a partial hall, but the area is nearly 100 square meters, the decoration is extremely luxurious, in general, the eyes are full of gold, if it is placed on the earth, it will definitely be ridiculed as the taste of the nouveau riche.

Vicente and Hansen were left outside without permission. As soon as Griffith sat down, a maid in a silk robe offered a pale green drink.

Emerald nectar, a mint-based drink, is said to have been invented by a noble man in the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and its recipe has only spread to Brittania in recent years, where it is popular among the noblewomen of the royal capital. However, in the less affluent border region of the Ilia Peninsula, the emerald nectar is not so famous.

Griffith had only heard it mentioned.

Since the host was so generous in his hospitality, Griffith was not polite, and took a shallow sip of the cup.

The cool and delicate taste is as refreshing as rumored, and the light mint flavor is not strong, but there is an unforgettable fragrance that remains in the mouth for a long time.

It is really worthy of a treasure of 10 golden dragon cups.

Griffith didn't take a second sip, and although he didn't reject enjoyment, the emerald nectar was still too luxurious for him. Although this drink also has the effect of soothing mental fatigue, it is not stronger than 10 gold dragon pounds of tea. And one pound of tea leaves is enough for Griffith to drink for a whole month, and the tea residue left over from brewing tea can also be used as an adjunct for nutrients.

"Isn't the emerald nectar to your taste?" a mellow and graceful voice sounded, and Griffith's eyes were first greeted by a pair of snow-white naked jade feet, then a dark golden robe, over the delicate belt and slender waist, above which were intriguing mountains, and finally, Griffith's gaze fell on the bright but somewhat dignified face.

"Hello, Ms. Charlotte. Griffith bowed slightly. The great beauty in front of her is not only a high-ranking priest, but also one of the five councilors in Thousand Sails City. Both strength and status are enough for Griffith to remain respectful.

The Church of the Goddess of Commerce was a part of the city when it was founded, and over the centuries, the Lady of Fortune became the port's most revered deity, the resident bishop of Gold, who was not as powerful as the royal mayor, but still held the seat in parliament.

In terms of influence, Griffith's teacher Gerald is far inferior to the young beauty in front of him.

"The beauty of emerald nectar is naturally unforgettable, but it doesn't suit me. Griffith explained. There is no need to say this kind of thing too clearly, if you cry poor in front of the local tyrants, people will not give you a few golden dragons.

"Huh. Charlotte covered the corners of her mouth, "You look a lot like Gerald." Speaking of which, I've always admired him, drinking those weird-tasting potions all day long without even frowning. Charlotte's tone was light, and she couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or compliment.

"Lord Charlotte, I wonder what you mean by the symbiosis contract?" In general, it is a pleasure to be alone with a beautiful woman - even if Griffith is only sixteen years old, this age can be considered an adult, whether on Earth or in Titania.

This kind of mature big sister has a fatal attraction to half-grown teenagers. Unfortunately, Charlotte's status puts too much pressure on Griffith, leaving him in no mood to think about it and only want to end this negotiation full of riddles and hints as soon as possible.

"I have a symbiosis contract. Charlotte stared at Griffith with the same cat-to-mouse eyes as she looked, "I wonder how much you're willing to pay for it?"

"I have 2,000 golden dragons in my hands. Griffith revealed his roots, and seemed to be very different from the shrewd apprentice mage of the past. "If you're willing to sell it to me at this price, you're not going to be able to ask for it. If the price is higher, I want to be able to pay on credit. ”

"It's similar to our chamber of commerce's assessment of you, I really didn't expect you to be such an honest child. Charlotte gave Griffith a meaningful look.

While mediocre businessmen sit and wait for business to come to their doors, brilliant businessmen create their own business opportunities and gather intelligence on potential customers. Maybe half a month ago, Griffith couldn't get into Charlotte's eyes. But when he asked Vicente for the Symbiosis Contract, Griffith's information was on Charlotte's desk that night, which naturally included an estimate of Griffith's financial resources.

Charlotte, who was already seated, suddenly stood up again, leaving only Griffith's back: "The symbiosis contract, it's not precious to say it's not precious." In addition to the stubborn old stubbornness of the God of Justice, it is estimated that a lot of them can be turned out in the treasury of other churches. But for those who don't have a way and are in a hurry to use it, it's a priceless treasure. ”

Griffith was still worried about the other party's lion opening his mouth, but Charlotte changed his words: "But, you're still young, don't think you're in a hurry, probably instigated by that guy Gerald, right?"

Griffith put on a puzzled expression very cooperatively, and Charlotte did not disappoint him, and said in a blatantly provocative tone: "Gerald's mentor, who signed a sharing contract with a fire elemental elder back then, gained a lot of benefits, but unfortunately died at the hands of the Ice Goddess's electorate. ”

"Among Gerrard's classmates, there are many who have taken this path, but as far as I know, only one has succeeded. Gerald is not very bold, he doesn't dare to try it himself, but since you are lucky enough to pick up a dragon egg, Gerald will inevitably have a little more thought. If you can succeed, it will be a valuable experience for him, and if you fail, there is no loss for him. ”

"The risk here, Mentor Gerrard made clear to me, and I insisted on choosing this path. Perhaps Gerrard had selfish intentions, but Griffith's first reaction when he heard such a secret story was still to argue for Gerald.

Determined to do it anyway, Griffith simply behaved open-mindedly. For the weak, being able to be taken advantage of is not necessarily a bad thing. If it weren't for Gerald's own little calculations, the dragon egg would not have ended up in Griffith's hands so easily.

Griffith's answer brightened Charlotte's eyes a little.

"Since you're a smart man, I'm not going to beat around the bush. Charlotte turned her head and took out a bright purple scroll from the storage bag on her waist and placed it on the coffee table next to Griffith: "This symbiosis contract, supposedly made by a mysterious Devil Grand Duke, is certainly much better than what you find elsewhere." ”

"And what about the price?"

"I don't take a single copper slot, just as I give you an investment. If you fail, everything is hands-free, but if you succeed, you owe me a great favor in the future. I don't need you to swear or make a covenant, you can just remember it yourself. ”

It's harder to pay off than the golden dragon.

It's a great thing that a gold bishop is willing to make you owe her a favor, and Griffith has no habit of looking ahead and backwards, and accepts the symbiotic contract without hesitation. As for the debt, let's talk about it later, at least don't worry about the problem with this contract.

Coming out of the Church of the Goddess of Commerce, Griffith did not return home, but made a beeline for Gerald's Magic Tower.

"Are you ready?" said Gerald's expression was a little complicated.

"Yes, Mentor. Griffith took out the symbiosis contract, "This was given to me by Lady Charlotte on the condition that I owe her a favor in the future." ”

"That little girl is really shrewd. Gerald was nearly 20 years older than Charlotte, and it wasn't offensive to call her a little girl in private. "As long as you can succeed, even if the problem of the soul cannot be solved, the benefits of strengthening the body and increasing the lifespan alone are innumerable. Charlotte's deal can be regarded as a sure win. ”

In fact, there will still be compensation, if Griffith hangs up, it will be a loss. Griffith complained in his heart.

"I'm going to adjust the energy output of the magic tower now and speed up the hatching of the dragon eggs, it will take about 2 hours, you go to the guest room to rest first, and recharge your energy." ”

Apprentices are not usually allowed to stay overnight in the Magic Tower, but the guest rooms are still prepared.

Guided by the Golem, Griffith made his way to the guest room on the fifth floor of the Magic Tower. The room is not big, about 10 square meters, the layout is also very simple, a bed, a table, two chairs, a wardrobe, the only thing worth mentioning is that the bedding and pillows are complete.

Griffith lay down in bed and closed his eyes, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time. His instincts told him that something seemed to be watching him.

Is it the magic of surveillance?

Griffith didn't care, it was no secret that every corner of the magic tower was watched.

"Griffith, go to the high-level bondage room, the dragon egg is about to hatch. Finally, when Gerald arrived, Griffith snapped his eyes open.

is busy, or soaring, success or failure in one fell swoop.
