Chapter 27: The Honeymoon (6)
"Send someone to the border of Dia, old Ku! If Gabriel and Lucifer have not made any progress in what they have investigated, then call them back at once, and I need them to help you with the bonds. ”
But how high do you think the interest rate on bonds should be? If the interest rate is too low, it won't be very attractive. ”
"What you are best at is financial management, and the specific interest rate is up to you!"
Cuthbert sighed, "You must know that what I am most afraid of is debt! It is like a noose, firmly strangled around our necks!"
"Believe me, Lao Ku! We will think of a way!" Gu Shiyu comforted: "We have to let the people know that they are not only contributing to the country but also to themselves! If the country is gone, where will there be a home?! At that time, they will not even be able to protect the lives of their relatives, how can they protect their wealth?!"
"You're so right!" Cuthbert laughed, "I think of the successful product pitch you held in the Lost Lands! I'll learn from your experience and throw another big bond pitch!"
"That's right! You have to do everything you can to get people to catch people's attention! Get some beautiful women to dance, and even encourage them to show their bellies! Also, get some fighters to put on a fighting show and provide a free lunch to the people...... The scene must be very grandly prepared, and the more colored flags, slogans, slogans, and so on, the better! You should try it boldly at Tekken Castle first, and then sum up the lessons and spread this model to the whole of Erathia!"
At this moment, the bells of the Castle of Iron Fist rang.
"What's going on? Could it be that Fiona's army is coming?" Gu Shiyu immediately pricked up his ears.
Cuthbert sharpened his ears and listened a few times, then shook his head and said, "No. The bell of this frequency must be a fire alarm! Maybe there is a fire somewhere in the city!"
They hurried to the heights of the palace. Black smoke was already rising from one corner of the city.
"That's where the Academy of Magic is located!" Cusbert shouted.
"Let's go and have a look!" Gu Shiyu rushed down with Cuthbert.
The fire did not cause much damage, but only destroyed several houses. When the fire was just about to burn, a large number of monks came and extinguished the raging flames with powerful water magic.
In the ruins, a gray-robed shaman danced with his hands and feet, and shouted at the same time.
"Oh my God, isn't that the High Priest of the Academy of Magic, is he crazy?" Cruthbert cried.
"How do I think he's not crazy?
Yes, the madman was laughing and hugging everyone he met frantically! His head and beard were almost burned out, his face was blackened, and all he could see was that his eyes and teeth were still white! His trademark white robe was burned to the ground.
"Mr. High Priest, are you okay?" Gu Shiyu stepped forward.
"Of course I'm good! not only good, but very good, very good! Nothing makes me ecstatic more than the fire just now!" the high priest opened his arms and was about to hug the person in front of him, only to realize that they were His Royal Highness the Prince Regent and His Royal Highness the Prime Minister of Erathia!
He hastily stopped, bowed to the two of them, and then vigorously wiped the tears and snot that flowed down, trying to greet the two most noble highnesses with the most reverent attitude.
"Can you tell me what you've done? and we want to share your happiness!"
"I know it! I dare say it's going to change the world!" the High Priestess shuddered and pulled out a small bag and poured some black powder into his palm.
Gu Shiyu was stunned! He suddenly picked up the high priest, kissed him a few times, and then spun around him.
Oh, is His Royal Highness the Prince also crazy? The people were stunned by what was happening before them!
"His Royal Highness...... His Royal Highness...... You've got to put me down!, I dare say, my ribs are about to be broken by you!" The High Priest began to beg for mercy.
He immediately put down the high priest, but still excitedly took his hand and said, "Is there still a house in the Academy of Magic that hasn't been burned down?" I have to find a place to talk to you!"
It seems that His Royal Highness is indeed overexcited! There are so many houses in the Academy of Magic!
"Your Royal Highness, you are the first to recognize my Ming! In that case, please come with me! I will give you a detailed introduction to its miraculous effects!"
Cuthbert was about to follow, but Gu Shiyu left a sentence from behind: "Old Library, you quickly allocate enough funds from the treasury to tear down all these rotten houses, and then build me the best and strongest building in the Iron Fist Castle! By the way, don't use wood, you have to use stone houses that can't be burned down by fire!"
Cuthbert scratched his head! Don't you know that you still have gold coins in your treasury? He stood on the ground in disappointment, not knowing what to do.
Come on, I'd better go to my house and ask my dad for help! I hope he can lend me hundreds of thousands of gold coins......
The High Priest and Gu Shiyu ran all the way to the tallest fourth-story magic tower in the Academy of Magic.
To be able to enter the fourth-level magic tower and practice magic, you need at least advanced wisdom skills! In the sea of books, you can vaguely see a dozen shamans and heroes reading scrolls.
"Get out of here, all of you!" cried the High Priestess, "Don't you see that I have something important to discuss with His Royal Highness?"
People immediately rushed downstairs in amusement.
"Your Royal Highness, please be seated, please allow me to tell you more about the composition and purpose of this thing......"
“...... You don't have to introduce it! I know what it's made of, and I know better than you what it does!"
"Don't you...... Are you going to get this thing too?" the High Priest sat down in disappointment.
I won't do it, but my ancestors would have done it a long time ago!" Gu Shiyu pretended to nod his head and said, "Not only will I do, but as far as I know, the elven clan's Somla High Priest will too!"
"I'm defeated! I'm not the first to know it!" cried the high priest.
Gu Shiyu felt unbearable. You are not the first, but you can be said to be the second, brother actually won't at all!" He comforted: "Mr. High Priest, although you are not the first, I will make you the first!"
"Please......" The High Priest looked at Gu Shiyu with teary eyes.
"You have to know, although I can do it, I have too many things to do, and I can't calm down and do large-scale production!"
Sister, you just pretend!
"High Priest Somla will too, but he will never share his results with anyone else!, so if you can listen to me, I will definitely make you the first person in this world to understand it!"
A spark rekindled in the High Priest's eyes.
"Say it, I'm willing to listen to you...... And I'm looking forward to you giving it the right name!"
"It burns when it meets an open flame! If it is in a closed environment, it will even explode violently like a fireball! If you have no objection, I would like to call it gunpowder!"
"It's a good name! I like it!" the High Priest nodded busily.
"I'm going to help you put this into practice! And I'd like to set up a foundation to promote your work. If you will allow you, I would like to name this foundation after you!"
"Of course I'm very honored! My name is Nobel, and you can use that name as you like!"
Gu Shiyu was taken aback. Oh my God, is your name really Nobel?
Are you the one who made the explosives and changed the whole world?
Brother's nitroglycerin and brother's diatomaceous earth explosives were all learned from you!
"You...... Do you remember that you didn't belong to this world, but fell from the sky?" asked Gu Shiyu tentatively.
"You insulted me!" Nobel stood up: "I'm pretty sure I came out of my mother's belly, and I'm definitely not a wild seed!"
"Okay, okay, I made a mistake, I apologize to you!" Gu Shiyu was relieved. He dipped a quill pen in ink, drew a shape on the parchment, and said, "I wish you could make this for me in large quantities!"
"What are you drawing?!cigars??You can go to any tobacco merchant on King's Road to make a ...... for you."
Gu Shiyu's face flushed. Brother, isn't this a relatively poor painting skill? The cannon you painted actually thinks is a cigar! He tried hard to explain: "This thing I painted is not called a cigar, I want to call it a cannon! You and I know very well that when gunpowder is ignited in a semi-enclosed environment, it will have great power! Using the terrifying power of its combustion, it can throw projectiles and even iron balls far away according to the trajectory we have set in advance, thus killing and injuring a large number of enemies!"
Nobel immediately shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you misunderstood! I know that this thing is only for mining mines, not for killing people! I'm afraid I can't do it for you!"
"Nobel High Priest, you must know that any Ming is first used in the military and then in civilian terms! Erathia is currently facing a war, and you should not want to see our people living in the shadow of war! Our most urgent task at the moment is to drive out the invaders, and then spread your Ming for the benefit of the people of the whole world!"
Nobel hung his head and did not squeak.
Gu Shiyu stood upright, bowed deeply to Nobel, and then said, "Mr. High Priest, my mission is to save the people of Erathia, and I have sacrificed my personal happiness for this!
"You're going to ruin the world!" Nobel sighed.
"You are wrong! Looking at the entire history of the world, there is a constant switch between war and peace! Peace is not given by anyone, not even the gods in the sky! Only after the baptism of war can there be peace in the true sense! When the guardian of peace has the most terrifying power, this will make the enemy dare not act rashly, and only then can peace last forever!"
"Can you assure me that this statement of mine will never be used to start a war of aggression?" Nobel stood up.
"I swear!" Gu Shiyu pulled out the dagger, held it tightly in the palm of his hand, and then quickly pulled it out!
He let the blood drip down the floor, and then solemnly said, "I am willing to swear with my blood: after driving out the invaders, I will use this of yours for the benefit of the whole world!"
Nobel also pulled out the dagger at his waist and slashed his index finger. He also solemnly swore an oath: "Then let us end the war first! If any of us dares to break our oath, we will die mercilessly by the sword!"
Two blood-stained hands clasped together.
When King Saiya and Commander Kendall arrived at the Academy of Magic, Gu Shiyu had already walked out of the Magic Tower hand in hand with Nobel.
"Oh my God, you're bleeding!" exclaimed!
"I'm fine!" Gu Shiyu grinned: "Saiya, I'm happy to tell you that I have found a way to end the war as soon as possible!"
"Don't tell me about this yet!" Seya burst into tears. She broke Gu Shiyu's fingers that were clenched into fists one by one, and let her bead-like tears fall into his palm one by one. She immediately turned around and ordered the royal guards gathered around, "Take out all the bandages on your bodies!"
"Saiya...... You...... Are you sure you need to use that much? I'm sure these bandages will wrap me from head to toe......"
Kendall couldn't help but laugh too! He pulled Gu Shiyu's hand and tied a knot firmly in his wound with the least amount of bandage. He explained to Seiya, "You can't wrap him too tightly, or his wounds will be breathless and he will die!"
Seya immediately pulled his hands behind his back.
"You come over to me!" Kendall dragged Gu Shiyu aside without saying a word.
"Your mother-in-law told me you haven't slept in the same bed with Thea for the past two days!" Kendall glared.
"Can you be quieter?" Gu Shiyu looked around nervously.
"Don't you have that function?" said Kendall, as low as he could, "Looks like I'm going to have a little more deer whip for you every day!"
"Thank you, but I don't think you need to question my ability in that area......"
"You should know very well what Saiya is doing to you! Fuck, everyone would feel very honored to marry her! You must understand that you are extremely unfair to her! A marriage without sex is a very immoral marriage!"
"You...... How do you know if we have a ...... What kind of sex?" Gu Shiyu struggled.
"I hope her has a cold because you didn't cover the quilt last night!" Kendal grabbed Gu Shiyu's arm firmly and said, "But I have to warn you, it's cold enough outside right now! If you have enough passion, try to do it in bed, although I also like to play in the wild occasionally!"
"Forget it!" Gu Shiyu struggled to escape, and then hurriedly shouted to Saiya: "Saiya, I still have a lot of important things to deal with, I'll talk to you when I have time!"
