Chapter 9: Before leaving
After half a month, the things of the sword box finally reappeared - half a citrine, a dagger, a ring, a coin, Charlene's hair, and a beard sprinkled all over the box.
"Annit's coin, Colen Kasya's dagger, Snake's ring, Sergeant Jel's citrine, and Garth's beard...... It's been a long time. ”
An indelible tremor was suppressed in his tone, and after his fingers brushed over the surface of the objects, Arley turned his gaze to Arondait, who had been silent for a long time. He then drew his sword from its scabbard and raised it high into the scorching sun, and then the glittering blade cut the pale golden sunlight into countless filaments.
As a treasure among treasures, the flawless magnificence of the holy sword is enough to confuse women, and Vesta couldn't help but narrow his eyes in appreciation, and murmured faintly:
"Can you cut even light...... It is worthy of being the upper holy sword second only to the three holy swords. ”
"Arondette is a high-ranking holy sword, in my eyes, even Durandle can't compare to it. The black-haired knight shook the blade of his sword in front of her, and said with some ostentation.
Indeed, although the Sword of Constant is incredibly powerful, it is indeed not as powerful as the flawless lake light in his hands. The deep madness and the protection of the holy sword are directly a threefold increase in physical strength, and in this state, even if Geneviv, Lua, Elencia, and Nannett will be crushed by Yalei even with their hands.
"I can see that the little girl likes you very much, she gave you the relics left by her father, and now she is going to pick flowers to see you off. Vesta was a little dazzled by the brilliance of the holy sword, and his gaze shifted to the citrine inside the box. Said meaningfully.
"I like her too. ”
With a "clang", Yalei retracted the holy sword into its sheath, tied it to the sword hanging with him, and closed the sword box and carried it in his hand. Looking at Louise, who was picking flowers in the garden in the distance, she said calmly and steadily:
"So, there's one more thing to do for her. ”
......
Main Building, Dean's Office
"Your Excellency, you're finally healed!"
Edmund's skin as pale as a dead man rarely revealed a hint of redness, his eyes were full of tears, and he excitedly shook the black-haired knight's right hand, and said from the bottom of his heart:
"Me and all the staff of the nursing home. I've been looking forward to this day day and night, and now it's finally here. ”
"Thank you. ”
The black-haired knight's stiff face barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and he thanked him lukewarmly. Anyone who is treated like a plague god will probably not have a good face.
"That's right!" the fat dean hurriedly got up from his seat as if he had suddenly remembered something, and said in a hasty tone that was almost broken:
"To celebrate your successful recovery. The sanatorium decided to hold a grand banquet. Please be sure to attend the feast. ”
Due to his promotion, Yalei was awarded the highest rank in the empire, the Blood Eagle Cross, as a reward, and the title jumped two levels in a row, and now he is a bullish earl, and he is a green knight earl with an honorary title.
According to legal principles and conventions, as long as the empire expands its territory, it can exchange land for the jurisdiction of a colony in the other world, and become a prince of the Fangjing who is called a lonely widow. You can be knighted by local law, and your power is the same as that of a king.
"I'm short on time. Banquets don't have to be. The black-haired knight waved his hand, paced to the other party's desk, and held the dean's nameplate on the brown table in his hand:
"I'd like to talk to you about business. ”
"Your Excellency, please make it clear. Edmund had a flattering smile on his face, but his heart was half cold, this knight lord didn't want to blackmail himself, right?
"As far as I know, it's a private nursing home, and you own 60% of the shares, right?"
"This ......" sweat began to ooze from his forehead again, and he had secretly begun to wonder how much blood he had come up with today.
"You don't have to worry, I have no intention of blackmailing or forcibly occupying this nursing home, I just want to buy 10% of your equity at twice the market value. ”
"That's three million soles. ”
Edmund's hanging heart suddenly relaxed, the earl wants to buy shares for a long time, and it is only one percent, and the price is reasonable, which is a great thing.
"I can give it to you right now. Yare took the gold coupon from his shirt pocket and picked up the quill on his desk, signing his name and amount on it.
"I'll handle the equity transfer procedures for you right away. ”
"Not for me, it's for Louise. ”
The black-haired knight pushed the window open at his desk, and the sunlight and the breeze mixed with the scent of grass and trees poured in at the same time, and from here, he could see the busy little nurse in the garden.
After staring at Louise silently for a moment, he turned to Edmund and instructed:
"Her father is Jerin Bond, one of the martyrs who died in the Hundred Days of Jihad, and I had the honor of being his subordinate, and his daughter who left behind is my relative! This is the place where she pursues her dreams, and I have no intention of interfering, but I also want her to be happy and happy, do you know what I mean?"
"I think I understand it perfectly!"
The sweat that had just stopped on the fat dean's forehead suddenly rolled down again, just the title of the orphan of the holy war martyrs was no longer the object of his offense. Now that there is a promising earl as a backer, have you hired a nurse or been hired as a nanny?
"You don't need that expression, she's a good boy and can't do anything out of line. Aree glanced at him coldly, then turned his head again, and continued to look at Louise from above, a smile on his lips.
"Of course, it's my pleasure. Edmund continued to laugh, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat drops for himself, the world is the richest, and he will give more than one million out of thin air, so he will naturally have to pay a considerable price.
"By the way, the crying statue of the Holy Maiden Cadia here is a fake, right?" the black-haired knight noticed the cross on his chest and immediately remembered the crying statue.
"It's a fake of high imitation. The fat dean frankly admitted that if it was genuine, the value of his nursing home would have more than tripled.
"Do you know where the real thing is?"
"I really don't know about this, this sanatorium was not in my hands originally, because the location is too remote, and there are more monsters than people in the broken place of Celt, so business has not been very good. After I took over, I relied on some connections in the House of Commons, and I took over the business of many countries to barely make a profit. Long before I took over, the crying statue was there, and the dean at that time still wanted to get me, but fortunately I have friends who understand the market and know that it is a Xibei goods. ”
"Then forget it. Aree looked away from the cross, temporarily suppressing curiosity about the weeping image, (to be continued......)
