Chapter 475: Entrusting Coins
The two twin oak trees in the forecourt of the lord's mansion were already leafy, and the canopy-like canopy shaded them like water and moonlight.
Victor stood in the dark shadow of the oak tree, gently turned his slightly pointed ears, and heard the bathroom door being pushed open in the lord's mansion, and the tall boots followed the footsteps of the maid to the master bedroom, the maid said goodbye, and the owner of the boots walked into the master bedroom alone, and then the door was closed.
Hearing this, Victor smiled elegantly, straightened his clothes slightly, and walked towards the gate of the lord's mansion with a relaxed step.
Miss Gillian Chebman's temper is as hot as her figure, but beneath her outward appearance is a soft and delicate heart, just like her wonderful body wrapped in Mithril armor, which fascinates Victor as much.
She is a woman among female knights, possessing the traits common to high-ranking female knights and women, beautiful, sexy, proud, powerful, stingy, money-obsessed, gentle and lovely, attached to handsome lovers, fond of shiny jewelry, and sparkling Kinsol.
Women need to be coaxed, and Miss Gillian, who has been snubbed by Victor for a year, especially needs his reassurance.
In Victor's opinion, it was easy to make Gillian happy. She is the only lover who will take the initiative to ask Victor for a courtship gift at the dinner table, and she is justifiably and above board.
Whoever wants Victor to ignore her for a year, she has to send it to the door herself.
At this time, as long as you take out the valuable jewelry, you can make her heart flutter, and you don't even need to put it on for her yourself, and sweet witticisms can be saved.
Gillian is so coaxing. She once declared in public: "The right to give me a gift of courtship, I grant only to my dearest Viscount Randall."
It's a pity that Gillian is unladylike, and her lover is even more stingy than her.
There is no way, Ben Benjamin, the master jeweler of Blinor City, makes his own jewelry, and the cheapest is 3,000 gold soles. If Victor prepares a set of jewelry for Gillian, Sylvia will ask for a courtship gift worth 5 times the value, as well as Nicole, Trisley, Judy, Lilia, and Alina...... Victor really can't afford to give any courtship gifts.
Fortunately, the court tricks from the little baron's will side were just as effective against Gillian, as long as the two of them were alone in the room at the dinner party, Victor could always clean up and obey Gillian.
Victor walks into the Lord's Mansion alone and bumps into two beautiful redheads and blue eyes. The twin sisters wore dresses and high heels of the same color and style, while bowing their knees to Victor's skirt.
"Welcome home, my lord. ”
The two of them chirped, and their delicate red lips bloomed with a sweet smile, revealing neat and fine white teeth. Victor looked at the two almost identical pretty faces, and suddenly remembered that he and Alina had been separated for 12 months.
Victor stepped forward and hugged Alina, who was dimple on the left, reached out and stroked her delicate and silky face, and praised with a smile: "Alina baby, you have become more beautiful...... Alice is as beautiful as you are. ”
Alina lifted her white hand, pressed the back of Victor's hand, rubbed her cheeks, and her eyes began to redden. Alice snorted, grabbed Victor's other hand in a huff, and stroked her face.
Alina did not forget her duties as a personal maid, and after a moment of warmth with her husband, she let go of his hand and said softly, "My lord, Miss Chebman has come to visit Silvermoon Manor and rest in your bedroom. ”
"I was getting ready to meet her. Victor bowed slightly, smiling slightly apologetic. Miss Chebman had been snubbed by him for a year, and today she took the initiative to come to the door, mostly to talk about the coinage. Victor should have appeased her first.
Alice's personality is not as well-behaved and supple as Alina, she pursed her red lips aggrievedly, rolled her green eyes, and said in a coquettish voice: "My lord, we serve you to bathe." ”
This is also the duty of a personal maid.
"I'm tired. Victor nodded with a smile.
Alina pursed her lips and smiled, a blush rising from her fair cheeks, and beckoned the maid in the room to prepare hot water. Alice took Victor's arm and walked towards the bathroom.
Served by the twin sisters, Victor washed up simply and quickly, changed into a fine linen shirt and trousers, and took the crystal candle lamp, and walked alone through the corridor on the fourth floor to the door of the master bedroom.
Knocking politely on the wooden door, and without waiting for Gillian to answer, Victor pushed the door open directly, and as soon as he entered the lord's bedroom, he looked up and looked up, and he was stunned at the door.
Gillian leaned back on the cowhide sofa and wore a short black one-piece lizardskin dress, which tightly wrapped her body, outlining her round and full breasts, narrow waist, and plump hips, highlighting her thrilling and wonderful curves. Long black leather boots are placed next to the sofa, slender and straight legs are stacked on the sofa table, the ankles are slender and round, the arches are beautiful, and the round and jade toes are swinging mischievously. The long-legged and slender skin is like honey, and under the bright and soft candlelight, it looks fleshy and sexy. She wrapped her hands around the towering twin peaks, her long shawl hair replaced her short ear-length hair, making her slightly tough temperament charming and moving, her plump red lips pursed a mocking sneer, and her amber phoenix eyes squinted at the stunned Victor.
Hair...... Hip wrap skirt...... Victor's sweet words, which had been brewing for a long time, disappeared, and he blurted out:
"Why are you wearing this dress?"
Miss Chebman hooked the corners of her mouth, revealing her snow-white tiger teeth, gently shaking her slender index finger, and her voice was hoarse and hidden temptation:
"I know why your women like to wear dresses, because ...... Spider silk dress, you can't tear it!"
Victor's slender eyebrows immediately erected. The texture of spider silk is tough, and even beginner apprentice knights may not be able to tear through the spider silk long skirt, let alone Victor. The lizard skin is breathable and waterproof, but it is not known for its toughness, and the price is not too expensive, but with Victor's strength, if he wants to tear the lizard skin, he has to use all his strength, and after tearing it, he can only be at the mercy of Gillian for a short time.
This is a naked mockery, a naked seduction...... Very good, this is very Gillian, and even though you have long hair for me, your mouth is as hard as ever, revealing a weakness that is strong on the outside and weak on the inside...... Hmph, I'll show you what it means to tear up!
The flame started by Sister Alina has not yet been extinguished, and Gillian is now adding fuel to the fire. Victor didn't say a word, strode forward, grabbed the low-cut neckline of the leather skirt and pulled it hard, "Bang la", Gillian's charming delicate body was suddenly exposed to the air. Victor picked up the slender waist and long legs of the peerless stunner, kissed the sexy red lips, and blocked the half-frightened scream in her throat, turning it into a soft murmur.
Gillian was kissed and let Victor carry her to the big bed.
The next morning, Gillian wrapped herself around her lover's body like a beautiful snake, staring at that handsome face without blinking her eyes.
I love you so much...... Gillian smelled Victor's sober and natural breath, remembered the lingering lingering of the night, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and she couldn't help but kiss her lover's lips.
Victor opened his eyes, pressed Gillian under him and kissed him for a long time, and asked with a smile, "Baby, do you want to get up for breakfast?"
"You're going for morning exercise?" Gillian turned to Victor again, her slender index finger circling around his chest, not at all trying to get him out of bed.
"No...... I am afraid that I will do you evil again. ”
"You've done me bad......"
Enjoying her lover's caresses, Gillian asked with a silky look, "Last night, I felt the disturbance of the water element...... You've got the talent for surges?"
"Yes. Victor nodded and said, "You're the first to know about it." ”
Gillian didn't speak, just hugged Victor tighter.
Victor pulled his hand out of Gillian's soft embrace and stroked his hair, "Hair...... It's beautiful and I like it very much. ”
"Hmm. Gillian snorted lazily, closed her eyes, for fear of being seen by Victor, and after a while, she said lightly: "The fish-man war is about to begin, and the Chebman family hopes that you will do your best." ”
The Fish-Man Wars waged by the Kingdom of Gambis were fought for the purpose of building ports. It is impossible to completely annihilate the fishmen in the war, and the lord only needs to mobilize the fishmen to the designated riverside battlefield and prevent them from harassing the artisans who built the port. In the seven river beach battlefields that Centaur Hills is responsible for, the mercenary corps of the Randall family is the main force of the battle. But these riverside fishmen have learned to be smart, and they hide in the river whenever they see the Randall family's infantry phalanx. If Victor wants to bring these fishmen up to fight, he must abandon the tightly formed infantry phalanx and adopt traditional wolf pack tactics. This means that the mercenaries will face fierce battles, and the mercenaries will inevitably suffer casualties, or even casualties, otherwise the mermen will not go ashore at all.
The fishmen hid in the Jinshui River, the Chebman could not build a wharf, and the port of the Centaur Hills could not be built.
Victor's eyes were deep, and he said in a flat voice: "The mercenary soldiers of the Randall family cost me so much gold sol every year, and they are all going to become masters...... Don't dare to shed blood and fight hard, what use do I want them?"
"Master, how can a superior person dare not fight, how can a soldier who is afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice be a vassal master?" asked Gillian looking up in bewilderment.
Victor laughed dryly, "Slip of the tongue...... In short, I will control the casualties, but I will not hesitate to sacrifice!"
Gillian nodded, and instead asked, "How long has it been since you've been to Wild Willows?"
Victor's heart moved, and he asked rhetorically, "What happened to Yeliu City?"
"Nothing...... I have heard that the Buryat family is preparing to change a magistrate, and that Primo Buryatia's uncle and his uncle are at odds with him...... Didn't Judy tell you?" Gillian bit her lip, her beautiful phoenix eyes flashing with a sly light.
Since the death of the Viscount of Buryatia and Austin, Judy's father and brother can be said to have covered the sky in Buryatia. The strength of the mother family is not a good thing for little Primo. Judy, as Primo's mother, has to plan ahead for her son's future in power. Primo's father jumped out and sang against his mother, perhaps it was the result of Judy's covert guidance.
If Judy doesn't ask me for help, why should I meddle in the internal affairs of the Buryatia family...... Victor was secretly amused, and pretended to be calm: "What does the internal strife of the Buryat family have to do with me?"
Gillian's sly smile suddenly froze on her face, she originally wanted to help Victor stabilize the situation in Wild Willow City as a condition to urge Victor to accept the Chebman family's coinage commission, but knowing that Victor didn't care about the turmoil in Wild Willow City at all, the conversation behind was unsustainable.
Could it be that he already knew that the two major families of Joshua and Nimes were secretly interfering in the situation in Wild Willow City? It must have been Her Highness Sylvia and Victor who had greeted her in advance...... Gillian sulked and jumped out of bed with a cold face, the undulating waves shaking Victor's eyes.
"You've torn my clothes, and you've got to pay me a better one!" said Gillian with one hand on her hips, in a hard tone.
Looking at Gillian's long hair, Victor's burning eyes softened. She is the first, and possibly the only, high-ranking female knight to change herself for Victor.
The eldest lady of the Chebman family is not as shrewd and philistine as she appears, in fact, she is silly and cute. Especially in front of Victor, her IQ has plummeted, and there is not much difference between her and ordinary women who are in love.
According to the general situation, Gillian, as the heir of the Earl of Chebman, should first polish her vindictiveness, experience love, marriage, and have children, and then be promoted to the silver rank. The Ant-Man army invaded Chebman's territory, and Count Chebman trapped the Blue Goose Castle, but the Counts of Chebman did not ask Gillian to be promoted early.
What can a silver female knight who only resonates with 25 elemental positions be able to withstand in the face of the overwhelming ant tide?
But Gillian still sneaks up to the Silver Knight, just to save her father. As a result, my father didn't succeed and almost put himself in it.
Gillian and Sophia have diametrically opposed personalities. She is a silly girl who is delicate and willful, big grinning but gentle and delicate in her heart.
This is not surprising at all. Gillian's parents are both great knights with an affinity for the water element, her mother has a strong personality, and her father has a feminine personality. The Earls of Chebman had a harmonious relationship, and the warmth of the family had a great influence on Gillian. She is full of beautiful longings for love, and the appearance of Victor fills her gap in hastily promoted to Silver Knight. Despite her passion for intriguing with Victor, she never really took advantage of it.
Just like this time, she could talk about coinage rights directly, but she wanted to mention the entanglement of Yeliucheng first, and wanted to use it in exchange...... Isn't this for fear that the family will take advantage of the lover? If Count Chebman knew that his precious daughter was negotiating with Victor like this, he would have to be angry with her.
"Of course I'm going to pay you a better dress......"
Victor smiled slightly, and without making any moves, a condensed blue-black air flow appeared out of thin air, shot out, and hit the golden bell on the table.
Not long after, Alina and Alice walked into the bedroom with a set of women's underwear and leather armor, and they couldn't help but look envious when they saw Gillian's perfect body. Gillian didn't care about her spring leakage, walked up quickly, snatched the delicate black leather armor, and asked in surprise, "This is for me?"
Victor got dressed by his personal maid, walked to Gillian's side, wrapped his arms around her waist, and said with his jaw: "This is a dragon lizard leather armor made of the leather of the two-headed dragon lizard Itugos, which is 100% elemental affinity. For the Great Knight, this set of leather armor has a limited service life, and its other performance surpasses that of ordinary Mithril armor. Her Highness Sylvia slew the giant beast Itugos, and I asked for an extra piece of leather...... I was going to wait for you to be promoted to the middle rank Silver Knight as a congratulatory gift. Right now...... I had to give it to you in advance. ”
"Here, I'll help you put it on and see if it fits. "Victor graciously dressed Gillian in her underwear and dragon lizard leather armor.
Gillian looked left and left in the mirror, her gorgeous face was covered with a blush of joy, she tiptoed, and suddenly frowned and said, "I'm getting shorter...... Why don't women's boots have heels?"
"Baby, it's for your safety. Victor said softly.
Gillian turned her head, looked at Victor with disdain, and said disdainfully, "Cut...... Obviously, I just want to save dragon lizard skin. ”
Victor stared at Gillian's exaggerated breastplate and said lightly, "Saving food, hehe, baby, you're thinking too much." ”
Gillian puffed out her chest proudly and said with a smile, "It fits perfectly." ”
"Of course, I measured it with my own hands, cut it with my own hands, can it not fit?" Victor laughed.
Gillian rolled her eyes, leaned into Victor's arms, put her arms around his neck, and asked in a greasy voice, "Baby, you just said that this is my gift for promotion to the Silver Intermediate Rank?"
Victor suddenly had a bad feeling, only to hear Gillian ask again, "Then you have to pay me a dress." I don't ask for much, a long spider silk dress will allow me to forgive you for being rude. ”
“......”
Victor gestured to Sister Alina to leave first. After Alina closed the door, Victor took a copper coin from a closet drawer and tossed it to Gillian.
Gillian raised her hand, grabbed the copper coin, and squeezed it in her hand to examine it carefully. I saw that this copper coin completely imitated the style of copper sol, but the size was only half of the copper sol, and the thickness was one-fifth of the copper sol.
"Is this a new copper coin you've struck?"
"Hmm. Victor nodded and said, "Copperpenny." Ten copper pennies for one copper sol. I spend fifteen percent of my copper minting pennies, and the more I cast, the more I lose...... How much did the Chipman family lose by casting copper sol?"
"Half percent. ”
Gillian bent a finger and said, "Baby, well, I want to say, there's no need for two mints to exist at the same time...... You're right?"
"Yes......" Victor looked at Gillian with a smirk.
"Not good!" said Gillian's face changed dramatically, and she waved her hand again and again, and said fiercely, "Don't think I'll make bronze pennies for you!
"I'll forge bronze thor for you. Victor said "affectionately".
"Okay!" Miss Chebman decisively agreed, stretched out her slender hand and patted the back of Victor's hand, and said with a smile: "I can't regret it...... Forget it if you tear my clothes. ”
"......" Victor was silent for a few seconds, cleaned up his messy emotions, and looked up and said: "Gillian, the financial burden of the Randall family is much heavier than that of the Chebman family, and I will lose 385 gold soles every year to complete the task of minting 5 million copper soles. And that's not counting the cost of transporting copper mines...... If the Earl of Chebman wants me to mint coins for him, he will have to bear the freight of the copper ore and half of the annual minting losses. ”
"Shall we only ship the freight?"
Gillian began to be coquettish. As soon as she is coquettish with Victor, her IQ will drop. But Miss Chebman would never be coquettish to Victor when she was in someone's time. That's why Victor let Sister Alina leave first.
"We sell you copper directly, so you can save on the cost of smelting copper ore. ”
How could Victor agree to such "outrageous" conditions? The fire crystal furnace refines the copper and then casts the copper sol, and Victor can earn 17% more, and the more he casts, the more he earns. If you mint money with copper, you really have to lose money.
He asked, "What is the price of copper and copper ore?"
Gillian yelled, "How is that possible? Are you a fool to me?"
"The copper is pulled over, and I still have to re-smelt it. ”
Victor shook his head and said, "In this way, the Chebman family will supply me with unlimited copper ore at 90% of the market price. I will cast copper sols for you, at least 8,000,000 a year. ”
Gillian still wants to bargain, but is kissed by Victor on the plump and sexy lips.
"Baby, don't say any more. If you can't do it, go back and ask the Earl Chebman if he agrees. Victor let go of Gillian, shook his head and said, "The Chipman family minted copper sol definitely not only lost half of the money, but at least one percent. And I need coppersol to vouch for the value of copperpenny. The Earl of Chipman, not afraid that I would not agree, took over the task of casting the bronze sol. However, I collect the transaction tax, and I can't collect Yeliu City, let alone the Chebman Collar. If I lose too much, I'd rather not mint copper pennies! The Chebmans sell the copper mines at 9 percent, making less money than losing money. If you cast your own copper sols, not only will you lose money, but you will also lose the profits of the copper mines. ”
"My dear, you tell the Earl for me, that is the only condition...... And the only time. Victor said seriously, "I am willing to give you the priceless two-headed dragon lizard leather armor, but I am not willing to compromise even a copper sol in terms of family interests. ”
Gillian blinked and smiled with satisfaction, "This is the man I like." ”
Victor's heart was pounding, and he was especially worried that Miss Chebman suddenly didn't want to take advantage of her lover's "advantage".
Fortunately, his fears were pure wishful thinking. Gillian hugged Victor and turned to walk towards the door, only to be dragged into Victor's arms.
"We haven't seen each other in a long time...... You're leaving?"
"You're moving so fast. Gillian looked at Victor in surprise, and when she saw that he looked displeased, she smiled coquettishly, "Baby, I will go back to the Chebman Territory first and convey your meaning to my father." I'll be back. ”
Wearing the alienated dragon lizard leather armor given by the lover, she couldn't wait to run back to Dese, and by the way, she asked her parents for a reward, which was also the style of Miss Chebman.
Victor shook his head and said helplessly, "I'll send you." ”
The two boarded the same carriage and drove away from Silvermoon Manor. Along the way, Gillian was kissed by Victor and gasped, and her face was flushed and she refused to take off her dragon lizard leather armor. At the junction of Randall's and Chebman's, Victor had to leave Chebman's carriage.
Before parting, Gillian asked through the car window, "Honey, the expanded shop in Wild Willow City doesn't have a share of the Randall family, you really don't care?"
Victor smiled gracefully and waved goodbye to Gillian.
Watching Gillian's car drive into the Chebman Collar, Victor's bright smiling face was suddenly enveloped in a dark cloud.
He groaned for a while, raised his eyebrows and sneered, pulled the reins, and said indifferently, "Let's go back." ”
Twenty heavily armed Swiftbird light cavalry surrounded their master and ran towards Pinghu Town.
