Chapter 114: I don't like money, I have no interest in money
Above the gray fog, Crane used his "clown" ability to quickly and forcibly control his excitement.
In a very calm, completely uninterested tone with money, he asked a question:
"Fifteen thousand pounds?"
This tone was as flat as if he were talking not about fifteen thousand gold pounds, but about fifteen thousand pieces of paper.
It fully expresses a kind of boring and boring feeling about money.
Sure enough, how could a big man like Mr. Fool be interested in money, it's really cheesy to say this at this time...... Audrey felt a little reproachful for what she had done.
But the words had already been spoken, and Audrey could only bite the bullet and continue:
"Yes, Mr. Fool, Ziringus has bounties in various countries, adding up to a total of 30,000 gold pounds, and these are all in my hands.
"Your recursor can get a share of fifteen thousand gold pounds, but I can't come up with such a large sum of money at once, so it will take a while to pay it off.
】
"In addition, Mr. Force's previous analysis of intelligence is also very important, and I successfully saw through Ziringus's disguise, so I plan to pay you five thousand gold pounds as a reward."
Audrey looked at Gawain and asked:
"Mr. Power, do you think it's okay?"
Gawain smiled and said:
"I just moved my tongue, and I was actually paid five thousand gold pounds, you are really a kind lady."
"You are too modest, Mr. Force, your analysis of intelligence is crucial, and I have successfully seen through the whereabouts of Ziringus." Audrey said sincerely.
In fact, the simple analysis of intelligence is not enough for her to give so much compensation, the most important thing is that the goal of Ziringers's operation this time is to assassinate Duke Negan.
And her father, as a nobleman who was friendly with Duke Negan, might have been in danger in this assassination if Mr. Power hadn't warned him in advance.
So Audrey gave the 5,000 pounds, in fact, there is also a sense of gratitude in it.
If it weren't for the fact that giving too much money would make it easy for people to find out the problem, she would have planned to give more.
And now Audrey's promise of a total of 20,000 gold pounds is right on the boundary line that will keep her from being suspected, and at the same time not so long that it will take too long to pay off.
Audrey can gradually withdraw 20,000 pounds from her savings and annuity income in a month or two, and then close the account through some financial means, so as not to be found out that something is wrong.
As the daughter of a big banker, this kind of thing is basically not difficult for Audrey, who has been familiar with related things since she was a child.
It turns out that this is the case, Ziringes's bounties in various countries add up to a total of 30,000 pounds, and if Mr. Azik were to receive this money, I am afraid that most of them would not be able to receive it...... When the tarot meeting is over, I should tentatively ask Mr. Azik what he thinks of the bounty...... Crane let out a silent breath.
Although Mr. Azik would not know about the borrowed name, Crane thought it would be best to ask, otherwise he would not be at ease.
Then, he said in a leisurely tone:
"Yes."
Hearing Mr. Fool's answer, Audrey's elegant sitting posture remained unchanged, but her heart was completely relaxed.
At this time, the six-page diary had also been completed by Alger and sent to Crane.
The Tarot members sitting below began to wait quietly, they were used to things like this.
The content of Russell's diary this time should be about the exchange between Russell and Mr. Men...... From Mr. Men, Russell learned parts of the history of the Quaternary Period, such as the Battle of the Four Emperors and the Pale Plague...... Gawain recalled the content of the original book, and thought silently in his heart.
In addition, Russell also learned about the Grim Reaper's madness and the Pale Plague, and also learned two laws from Mr. Men.
That is, the law of immortality of extraordinary properties, and the law of conservation of extraordinary properties within similar sequences.
And these two laws have also led to a considerable number of tragedies in the mysterious world.
When Gawain chose the path for Arthas, the reason why he ruled out the Black Death War in the first place was also the reason for these two laws.
Gawain, who is familiar with most of the plots of the mysterious world, naturally cannot choose an extraordinary path that can be interchangeable with his own path for Arthas.
This is simply asking for trouble.
"That's a lot of information, and the gods can go crazy......" Crane sighed silently.
As a normal graduate of the history department, he has always thought that the Solomon Empire, the Tudor Dynasty, and the Trenthorst Empire are vicarious inheritances, and there is a certain restoration in between.
And the fact that the gods can also go crazy also makes Crane wonder if the evil gods are the righteous gods who have gone crazy.
And if one day, the whole world is left with only evil gods, then ......
Crane smiled to hide his growing emotion, feeling that the future he imagined was full of gray tones.
The next few pages of the diary mention that Russell staged the Indisian coup, which gives Crane more about Russell.
After reading the diary, Crane thought for a while, and a new idea came to his mind.
So, he smiled in a low and calm manner:
"Russell mentions in his diary some history that has been covered up, some simple common sense, the latter reminds me that I don't seem to have told you."
Hearing this, the members of the Tarot Society were all excited, and Gawain naturally reacted in the same way.
"Mr. 'Fool', what common sense did Russell the Great mention? I can pay you in exchange for this news. Audrey couldn't help but ask.
Crane chuckled and said:
"No, it's all simple common sense."
He knew that among the members of the Tarot Society, there should be people who knew these two laws, such as the "sun", and Gawain and the "hanging man" might also know.
Therefore, Crane simply made these two laws public, which can also help shape Mr. Fool's forced character.
Audrey was shocked to learn that the Extraordinary would leave behind extraordinary properties after death, and that these extraordinary properties could be used as the main ingredient for the corresponding potion.
She thought of cannibalism, and this darkness and cruelty also broke Audrey's previous yearning and love for the extraordinary world.
But she is no longer the naïve aristocratic lady she was at the beginning, so relying on her extraordinary ability, she finally succeeded in self-regulation and did not lose her temper at the tarot meeting.
