The funds in the Randall family's treasury come from the family's annual financial balance, and the gold coins in it are almost impossible to get in, and a total of 150,000 gold soles have been saved in the past seven years. The gold regiment vault is the net profit handed over to Victor by the smuggling caravan, and the money for the expansion of the gold regiment, the budget of mercury, and the daily expenses of the lord's personal guard are all taken out of it, and the rest of the money can be fed to the alchemy tower. After deducting all necessary expenses and reserving sufficient risk funds, the Golden Group Treasury will provide a maximum of 5 or 6 thousand gold soles to the Alchemy Pagoda every year.

In addition to the financial surplus and the net profit of the Golden Mission, Victor also has a huge additional income - various resources and goods that the Mountain Fortress has realized through the Golden Regiment in recent years, including Zesheng resources collected by half-dragons and goblin slaves.

Therefore, Victor's private money is not only 500,000 gold soles, but 610,000 gold soles. The other 110,000 is the wealth created by the mountain fortress.

600,000 gold soles is undoubtedly a huge amount of money, but for the bottomless pit of the alchemy tower, it is nothing, only equivalent to 12 alchemy dragon lizards, or 50 alchemy soldiers, or 122 third-level Gripen militia.

In recent years, the development of Randall's Territory and the Golden Regiment has grown by leaps and bounds, the size of mercenaries, smuggling caravans and mercury has doubled, and in order to ensure that every mercenary hundred-man team and every smuggling caravan has absolutely loyal alchemy humans, Victor has created a large number of alchemy auxiliaries. Despite this, the alchemy creatures are still insufficient, resulting in a sharp decrease in the number of alchemy humans in the mountain fortress, from a production base to a social knowledge training base, the labor level can be maintained at around 200 people, the output of materials and commodities is getting less and less, and Victor's secret income has also been greatly reduced, he simply ordered the mountain fortress to specialize in processing, and reserve the Zesheng resources collected by half-dragons and goblins.

If it weren't for Victor's large gratuities and bounties from Neville, the alchemy tower's plan to upgrade the alchemy militia would probably have come to naught.

In fact, Victor's expansion power is limited by the production capacity of the Alchemy Tower, but in the final analysis, it is a matter of money.

The rapid expansion of power is indeed costly, and the benefits are obvious. Victor's will can now be conveyed to the Sarsangian Empire thousands of kilometers away, mountain hunters can be drawn from cottage strongholds controlled by the Golden Order, and special resources from the kingdoms can be obtained. But no matter how tempting the prospect of expanding power is, Victor will not withdraw funds from the family coffers to meet the needs of the Alchemy Tower.

Because, the purpose of Victor's development of the family and the Golden Regiment is to fully dominate the use of the Lianjin Pagoda, which is available and idle, rather than being kidnapped by the Alchemy Pagoda.

In the next twenty years, the Alchemy Tower will continue to play a key transitional role, and when the next generation of Randall's leaders grows up, and when the Soul Blood Secret Method can popularize a combat skill, Victor's original goal will be achieved. Randall's people are the main body of the basic force, the third-level alchemy militia is the elite armament, and the alchemy auxiliary soldiers are dedicated to serving as technical craftsmen, which is the ideal state of Victor's personnel structure.

Nicole and Lilia don't know what Victor is thinking, and they are worried that Randall will take the money from his private treasury to Rose Manor to help the other families in the Centaur Hills develop their territory. They knocked on the side, coquettishly and cutely, and used all their resources to pester Victor for an afternoon, but they couldn't take out a single gold sol from his private vault. In the end, Lilia had to serve Nicole in the bath, change her clothes, dress up, and prepare for the family banquet in Pinghu Fort.

Towards evening, the attendants and maids who had helped in the general education school returned to Silvermoon Manor. The first thing Victor saw was Bertina

She was surrounded by Brandon, Klaus, and Shirley in the middle of the attendants, wearing a small blue maid dress, her face was still round, but she was much taller, and her body could see the green curves, bright eyes and bright teeth, and milky white skin, like a little girl in her early tens. When she saw Victor, she ran madly from the grass with her skirt in her hand, giggled, jumped into his arms, and hung on him like a bear, and eagerly said:

"Master, Bell has grown taller...... Bell has grown taller! Wow, the owner's eyes are so beautiful. ”

Victor was promoted to the legendary level, majestic and self-generated, and did not restrain his spiritual strength, ordinary people did not dare to look directly into his eyes, which also made the gap between him and the mortal world deeper and deeper. Bertina's natural closeness and innocence are an emotional experience he cherishes.

It's actually developed...... The daughter has become a little sister, and it is not as fun as before.

Holding Bertina's soft body and muttering in his heart, Victor put Bertina on the ground, touched her head, and said with a friendly smile: "I have indeed grown taller......" paused, deliberately teasing her: "I have also become beautiful, but I am not as cute as before." ”

Bell put down his heels, blinked his big eyes with crooked eyelashes, and puffed up: "No matter how tall Bell is, he is as cute as before!"

Victor pulled out his voice narrowly and said, "Really......? You roll around on the ground, and I'll see if it's the same as before?"

Puff ...... Bell immediately lay down on the grass, rolled around, and muttered:

"Is it the same as before? Is it the same as before?"

Victor laughed merrily, and the people around him couldn't help but laugh vigorously, and the tall Caligula saw that Bell was rolling happily on the lawn, and also rolled on the ground, and his huge body was surprisingly dexterous, and he immediately changed direction before touching Bertina.

Nicole gave Victor a strange look, stepped forward to pick up little Bell, who was rolling in the race with Aka, dusted off the blades of grass on her body, and rebuked in a doting tone:

"Don't mess around! Go take a shower and change your clothes, and we'll go to Pinghu Fort to host a dinner later...... Caligula, you don't get up yet!"

Caligula got up from the ground, and the little attendants stepped forward to bow to Victor and said in a neat voice, "Welcome back to the family Master Randall." ”

Victor's sharp gaze swept over the 30 new squires, most of them were under the age of 10, and their blood was not recognizable, but their appearance and physical condition were obviously better than the first batch of wandering noble children. In fact, these children from the Eastern Alliance are all products of the family intragamy, and the success rate of refining the bloodline will not be less than 6 percent.

"Get up. Victor commanded, beckoning Shirley to come over.

Shirley is now an 11-year-old girl, she has not seen her favorite and close master for more than two years, she is a little strange and timid, and she stepped forward in a worried mood, but she was touched by Victor's head, and her delicate little face suddenly rose with a blush of shame, which was her and Bertina's special treatment.

"Shirley, go find Bell. ”

Victor smiled slightly, and his gaze turned to a small squire beside Brandon. He had brown hair and blue eyes, and was handsome, ten years between a boy and a teenager.

"You're Dick?"

"Dick has seen the master. The little squire saluted tremblingly.

"I remember you. Victor nodded, retracted the golden streamer in his eyes, and commanded, "Brandon, Klaus, you take Dick to the attendant bathroom of the lord's mansion to bathe." The others hurried to the large bath to wash up. ”

In this world, knights and ordinary people are treated differently, and Dick naturally awakens his fighting spirit, and he is qualified to have his own room in the lord's mansion. The other attendants consciously walked to the large bath room at the back of the mansion.

"The quality of these squires is good. Victor tilted his head to Nicole and smiled, "It would be better if some of them could naturally awaken their vindictiveness." ”

Nicole nodded to Caligula, who was walking among the little attendants, and said, "Aka is already an adult, so it's not suitable to mix with the little ones anymore. ”

Victor looked at Caligula's giant-like back, and after a moment of silence, he said, "He lost a chance to grow mentally in Naville...... I don't know if Aka will be able to trigger his own courage in the future. ”

The dinner party at Fort Pinghu was held on time, and all of Victor's earliest followers were in attendance, and he also saw Imerson and his two young wives.

It's just that he deliberately sat in the most remote corner, for fear of being noticed. Victor only pretended not to see him, and Bertina very obediently did not go to her father. The little guy with his lucky aura is also an eye-catching character, and Pastor Dane and his Judgment Samurai have repeatedly given the best food to Bertina.

Dane was also surrounded by Sister Carilla of Southhill Abbey and Kaye, the head of the mission at the General School, both of whom were pastors of the Clement lineage.

Victor's attention was mainly on Miller, though. If he wants to find a way to break through the Sanctuary, I'm afraid he will have to count on this divine favorite.

His Royal Highness Randall cast a "affectionate" gaze from time to time, and the old priest was uncomfortable, and before the attendant could serve tonight's ornamental food, he withdrew early.

Victor was secretly amused, but now was not the time to talk deeply with Miller. He looked around the room, and there was a comical feeling in his heart that the wizard and the clergy were at the same table, but they were both powers at his disposal.

He suddenly realized that the extraordinary power gathered around him was unusually powerful...... Father Miller, a god who can be compared to the Divine Knight, Wizard Emerson, a powerful wizard who controls a half-dragon tribe and thousands of goblin slaves, regardless of whether his mental attributes are at the legendary level, at least his natural sorcery is at the legendary level, Dane, a fifth-level priest of the Golden Rank, the cutie Bertina whose abilities are difficult to judge, Caligula, a fierce human who has mastered the touch of the heart, except that he has no combat power, his spirit belongs to the Golden Level, Nelson, a fierce warrior with both psychic fire and combat instincts, has the heart of a strong man, and his potential is immeasurable, Nicole, a potential Knight of the Rags...... In addition, Randall also has 1 ruling warrior, 2 third-level priests, 2 junior knights, Jomoson and Hals, and 7 probationary knights, four of whom have naturally awakened their fighting spirit, and will definitely be senior knights in the future.

Of course, Victor did not forget about Judy, but she was demoted to a mercenary army by Nicole, dealing with fishmen on the banks of the river, and did not receive an invitation to the banquet.

Judy loses Willows and openly rejects Nicole's solicitation, and neither Lilia nor Nelson will intercede for her. Even Victor was reluctant to refute Nicole's face.

However, the more powerful the power, the more troublesome it is, such as the Alchemy Tower and Father Miller. The veteran knight of the 24 elemental positions of Resonance is very much in line with the needs of His Highness Randall, and he still has to find an opportunity to bring Judy under his command.

After the feast, Nelson ran over and asked Victor to take the time to inspect the mercenary corps.

Victor thought for a moment and said, "Then tomorrow morning, let's go to the fish-man battlefield by the Jinshui River." ”
