Early in the morning, outside the gate of the Viscount's Palace, all the nobles in Nafu City were standing.

"Lord Viscount Gui'an!"

"Lord Viscount Gui'an!"

Claire also greeted the other party with a smile, "Good morning, everyone, please take a seat." ”

After the nobles sat down, the maids also put fruits and desserts on the table, but these things were all decorations, and no one paid attention to them except for children like Melly, and they came this time mainly because of the words passed on by the councillor Frank yesterday.

Baron Eugene said straight to the point: "Lord Viscount, I heard Frank say that you are willing to help us send troops to fight those robbers, is this true?" ”

"Of course." Claire spoke, "They sent assassins to assassinate me, and now they have robbed you of your goods, obviously not taking our Nafu City seriously!" ”

Hearing this, the nobles all nodded, they almost forgot that the rumors of the robbers outside the city assassinating Claire were still spread by them. If Claire had intended to help them for no reason, they would have felt that there was some pit waiting for them, but after there was also the reason for their own assassination, they were more relieved.

"Yes, the Viscount was assassinated the day before yesterday, and our goods were robbed, and those robbers simply didn't take us seriously! Lord Viscount must send troops to exterminate them! ”

"Of course, it's okay to send troops, but I need some pay." That's when Claire came up with her true purpose.

"It's natural!" Eugene patted his chest and assured him that he wouldn't be at ease if Claire didn't want their money.

"The Viscount can give us as much as he wants! As long as we are within the scope of our ability, we will definitely support you! "Baron Eugene is also a shrewd man, he said in front of him that he could pay as much as he wanted, and then added a sentence within his reach, once Claire asked for too much money, they still had an excuse to refuse.

Claire narrowed her eyes and said, "I don't want your money." ”

The nobles present were shocked, you don't want our money? Also said to need some payment?

Claire looked up at the ceiling and said with a look of understanding, "Since the last time I was almost killed by the assassins, I couldn't sleep at all night when I tossed and turned in bed, I just felt that life was so fragile. ”

Then he looked at the nobles present, "You say that people can't die without having time to enjoy anything in this life, right?" ”

The nobles nodded in praise: "That's natural." ”

So that night I realized a truth, people should enjoy life, and it doesn't matter what other people's eyes and evaluations are! I was naïve enough to think that as the heir to the Griffins, I had to lead the Viscount back to its former glory, but after that night, my heart was like two people. ”

"There will always be a lot of accidents in life, I can't die before I have time to enjoy anything, there are many beautiful things in this world, good wine, women, and money!" Just saying this, tears welled up in Claire's eyes, as if she was feeling something.

"So I have to say sorry to you before I was naïve enough to tell the difference between myself and the civilians and to see you as enemies. Now I just want to enjoy it! With a lot of money and drinking some of the best wine in the world! ”

Baron Eugene's eyes showed appreciation, this guy finally figured it out, why should he be a nobleman and get involved with those untouchables!

Claire reached out and patted Baron Eugene on the shoulder, "You still have a clinic!" Give me 20% of the profits! ”

Baron Eugene stood up excitedly and raised the wine in his hand: "Thank you, Lord Viscount!" "As for giving two percent of the profit or something, it's better than not getting anything at all.

The rest of the nobles also smiled happily, and it seemed that their viscount had finally opened his mind.

And the political officer Frank watched coldly from the sidelines, snorting coldly in his heart, "Hmph, a group of fools have been deceived by his acting skills, and he is the real demon with a smile!" ”

Lord Wilbur spoke, "Having said all that, where does Lord Viscount's money come from?" ”

Everyone looked over curiously, and they also wanted to know where Claire's reward came from at the beginning.

Claire smiled lightly, "Naturally, it was obtained from those civilians as before!" ”

"Oh! Ratepaying? "The nobles are now more convinced that Claire has awakened.

"Nope! To be a lord you have to pay attention to the right name! Now it just so happens that the bandits have assassinated me and robbed you of your goods, which is a good excuse! ”

"How?"

"It has to be coincidental to ask them to donate money in the name of sending troops."

"What if they don't want to donate?"

"You donate first, and they can donate after you donate, and the more money you donate, the more they will donate."

"What happens after donating the money?"

"I will return your money in full, and we will divide their money in thirty-seven."

"Who's 30 and who's 70?"

"I'm thirty percent of you, and you're seventy percent!"

"If you don't donate, you can't do it!"

"Of course, you don't have your share in the seven achievements, the more you donate, the more you will share, and the more money you can get."

After listening to this, the nobles present suddenly understood, it seems that this viscount is even more ruthless than himself.

"Okay! No problem! Eugene agreed.

"How much do you want to donate?" Claire leaned forward.

Lord Wilbur raised his hand on the spot and said, "I'll donate a thousand gold coins!" ”

Claire pursed her lips, which was still far from his psychological expectations, and glanced inadvertently at the silent political officer sitting on the side.

Frank's scalp tingled at that glance.

"I'll give you 30,000 gold coins."

All the nobles looked at it in surprise, you are crazy and you want to give 30,000 gold coins, they all think that donating this kind of thing can be solved by a few thousand gold coins, your TM's donation of 30,000 gold coins?!

"Are you crazy!" Lord Wilbur called out on the spot, pointing at Frank's nose and scolding.

This makes him very faceless, I pay 1,000 and you directly pay 30,000, which is 30 times my 30 times what do you mean!

Frank looked unanswering, "It's my business how much I'm willing to donate, you donate a thousand yuan and shut up for me, anyway, the money will be returned to me, the less you donate, the more money I get." ”

Only then did the nobles remember the importance of the four words Claire had just said, "Return them as they are!" In other words, it's time to compare the bottom line.

But even so, they still had some concerns in their hearts, after all, this was not a matter of thousands of gold coins, and if tens of thousands of gold coins were lost, even it would be a pain for them.

When Claire saw this, she felt that it was time to speak, so she said: "It's okay, you can donate one or two thousand or even a few hundred gold coins, I don't force it, 30,000 gold coins is almost enough for this matter." ”

But Claire is like this, those nobles are more anxious, if Claire begs them to donate, they still have doubts, but now they are putting on this appearance that they are not lacking in your money at all, but they make themselves anxious, this is a business without capital, and it is not a loss!

Remembering what Claire had just said, Eugene slapped the table on the spot and decided, "I'll give you 50,000 gold coins!" ”

"What a boldness!" Claire praised, but did not forget to add a fire, "Eighty thousand gold coins are enough, and the rest can be symbolically donated." ”

"No! It's our honor to be able to help Lord Viscount, how can we donate less, I also give 30,000 gold coins! ”

The rest of the nobles saw that someone had followed suit, and they also offered bids one after another.

"I'm forty thousand!"

"I'll also give 30,000!"

"I'm thirty thousand!"

"I'm 20,000!"

In the end, almost all the nobles donated most of their fortunes, except for Lord Wilbur, who had the 1,000 gold coins at the beginning.

"That's it! So that's it. Claire clapped her hands and stood up.

"Viscount, wait a minute!" Lord Wilbur was anxious, and immediately said, "I will also give out 50,000 gold coins!" ”

Claire gave a friendly smile: "Lord Wilbur is really atmospheric! ”
