Chapter 44: Business

"My lord, last night, several major families sent people to ask you for the ...... that you said before, 'return the full amount, and divide it into fifty and fifty'."

Yard said with a puzzled look on his face as he brought breakfast to Levi.

Li Weile said: "And then? ”

And then ...... Then the patriarchs of these families were all arrested by Xiya and thrown into the dungeon because of their conspiracy to seize the city. ”

Speaking of this, Yade looked at the sky silently.

As a knight with glory in his heart and full of martial virtues, he is really a little unbearable for this kind of saucy operation.

Levi laughed: "Isn't it good, these gentry families haven't done much on weekdays, I didn't let Lilith go, but let Xiya go, and I already take good care of them." ”

Yard: "......"

Recalling the strange behavior of those arrested nobles last night when Thea led the team to arrest people, he had reason to suspect that Thea must have used illusions on those people.

Although the nobles were not injured much, they might as well be injured.

Anyway, if it were him, he would rather be slashed a few times than run naked in front of a large number of guards, and show covetous expressions to the heavily armed soldiers.

Yard shuddered and quickly kicked the horrific image out of his mind.

Xiya drank porridge and said lazily: "Na Na Na Na, Lord Levi, people were so tired last night, shouldn't they be rewarded with something?" ”

Levi glanced at her: "What is the reward?" A hug for you? ”

Xiya looked at her with disgust: "What kind of reward is this?" It's pretty much the same for Lilith. ”

The next second, she smiled again: "The kind of text you used to fool Lotto last time...... Can you teach me? ”

"You want to learn kanji?" Levi was a little surprised.

"Kanji? Is that what that kind of text is called, sure enough, I knew at a glance that it was definitely a special kind of text! ”

Xiya showed an interested gaze: "I'm quite interested in these things, you can teach me, don't delay your time too much, take a moment out every day, just tell me the pronunciation of these words, the meaning!" ”

Lilith, who was sitting next to her, nodded and said, "Xiya likes all kinds of ancient texts, classics and the like, when the two of us first met, she often took all kinds of ancient documents to read, but later the documents of the silver collar were almost read by her, so I rarely watched her do that anymore." ”

Hearing this, Levi leaned back tactically and showed a surprised expression at Thea.

I really didn't see that this girl who is full of crazy genes in her bones is actually an archaeologist.

The style of painting really doesn't match.

As if sensing the meaning in Levi's gaze, Xiya narrowed her eyes: "Lord Levi, do you have anything to say?" ”

“…… It's nothing, except that I have to tell you that it's not an ancient script, it's just an ordinary script that few people know. ”

In this world, it is not surprising that he is the only one who can speak Chinese, so it is not wrong to say that no one knows this kind of writing.

Xiya nodded again and again: "It doesn't matter, as long as it's a rare special text, I like it very much, and if you master it more, you can touch it more." ”

Seeing that Xiya was so persistent, Levi did not refuse, and the two agreed to study together for about an hour every day in the future, and Xiya became happy.

"By the way, speaking of Lotto, how is that guy doing now?"

"That old guy, he and his cronies were separated and detained, and when he heard that you became the owner of the new city, he didn't get angry, but he sighed a little, and then relaxed a lot."

Levi nodded: "This person Luo Tuo can be regarded as a rare good nobleman, and the things he did, including various actions against me, were actually for the silver collar." ”

"If I die in this incident, then naturally there is nothing to say, and now that I am not dead, he will naturally understand, I have long been ready to face the minister, and I have the ability to survive from the minister."

"In this way, I took over the silver collar, and in his opinion, it is naturally not a bad thing."

Xia Ya snorted: "Since he likes the silver collar so much, then just take him out of prison, cut off his legs, and let him handle chores in the City Lord's Mansion every day, which can be regarded as making the best use of things." ”

"Thea." Lilith burst out.

The blonde witch hurriedly smiled: "Just kidding, I'm joking~"

Later in the evening, Yard walked into Levi's office.

"My lord, there are three cities that have sent backs."

"Wow, it's pretty fast."

Levi raised his eyebrows and reached out to take the letter from Yard.

Lilith, who was sitting in the corner of the room reading a book, stood up, walked over, and took the letter first.

Using a black light to poke into the envelope and making sure there was no danger, she handed the letter to Levi.

Levi took the letter with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to be so careful, even if it's really poisonous or something, I can use the power of pollution to corrode and decompose." ”

"It's better just in case." Lilith shook her head slightly.

Looking at Lilith's appearance, Levi felt that he might have to take some time out to exercise well, and try to order a few new skills as soon as possible, so as not to make Lilith worry about himself.

While making up his mind, he opened the three letters and read them quickly.

After reading the letter, he scoffed.

"What's the matter, so happy?"

Thea didn't know when she was back, and she took the red-haired witch Senna with her.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw Levi laughing there, which made the two a little curious.

Levi shook the letter in his hand.

"I wrote letters to the lords of several nearby cities, wanting to buy the witches in their hands for a large amount of money...... Although it does not comply with the regulations governing the Witch of the Empire, this operation is not uncommon in cities that lack witches. ”

"As a result, these city lords have quite the same attitude, and they don't have enough normal witches, if I'm interested, they can sell me the witches who are on the verge of getting out of control at a friendly price."

Hearing Levi's words, Xiya couldn't help but be happy.

"A witch on the verge of getting out of control is of no value to them except for the threat she may pose at any time...... However, they may not have dreamed that for the silver collar, a witch on the verge of losing control is no different from a normal witch. ”

"Yes, but that's not the best, the best thing is that if I buy these witches, it proves that I have no usable soldiers in my hands, even if I don't know how many witches I can use, I am willing to pay for them."

"It's a big positive sign for those who don't like me, and someone is going to be unable to sit still."

As he spoke, he picked up his pen and quickly wrote a few letters, sealing them with fire paint.

"Yard, send these letters back...... By the way, bring the money too, as long as they are willing to sell, I want any kind of witch! ”

Yard nodded, and was about to respond, when Lilith suddenly turned her head to look at the window on the other side.

The girl did not hesitate, the black light condensed into a chain, and swooped out in the direction of the window!
