Chapter 346: The Duke Who Sold Women (2/3)

The Crescent Territory is also about 3,000 meters away from Angry Waves City, or 2,600 kilometers.

Ave first returned to the Crescent Territory with Lawson, and then rushed to the Flying Fish Islands ahead of schedule.

After Rosen made the final arrangements for the Crescent Leader, he flew the new plane and set off urgently to rush to the City of Angry Waves.

When I set off, it was 2 p.m.

Along the way, he went around the island of Fotherrier, gave Dora the ultra-high-precision mana fluctuation detector, and exchanged it for 5,000 Fusa spell gems from her.

Dora was very generous and gave her gems of the highest quality, all of which were collected by Master Turanian throughout his life, and the total value was estimated to be more than 500,000 crowns.

As a result, the total value of the gold coins and gems in Lawson's warehouse has exceeded 4.5 million kroner, which is a shocking amount of money.

He continued on to the City of Angry Waves.

At six o'clock in the evening, I saw a pillar of light connecting the sky and the earth in the distance, and when I flew closer, I saw a vast complex of buildings on the horizon.

The complex is divided in half by a large and spacious river, and the river is densely packed with boats of all sizes, and the Lord of the Sea, which went to the imperial capital to show off some time ago, is quietly docked on the edge of a white.

Less than 300 meters to the north of the embankment is the Golden Blessing Pillar of Light, which is of the same level as the Crescent Collar, and is a second-grade Golden Glory Stone.

Around the pillar of light, there is a large house with an extremely exquisite style, each with a blue roof and white walls, the ground and the air are connected with corridors, and the ground can see gardens, streams, and small lakes, which looks like a large courtyard of the earth's water town.

Obviously, that's Duke Storm's Thundering Castle.

According to Heagarli's description, there is a large semi-independent garden in the northwest corner of Thundering Castle, called the Garden of the Morning Star, which is her residence.

Rosen suspended Sky 2 at an altitude of 2,000 meters, then reached out his binoculars and took a closer look at Thundering Castle, and soon found the Morning Star Garden, and even saw Heya Jiali.

She was wearing a gorgeous French dress with gold trim on a blue background and was walking in the garden.

Naturally, he was not alone, and he was followed by many maids, and the loyal Leliana was among them.

In addition to this, there are two young men, both of whom are also familiar faces, one is Salas and the other is Yuragon, a beautiful man.

"Tsk~ Are these two young men so worried about my mother-in-law?"

Turn up the magnification of your telescope to the maximum and take a closer look at the garden.

It can be seen that Heyagari is strolling through the garden, her expression is not salty, and if she occasionally says a few words, she will immediately get a response from the two young mages.

Looking at the demeanor of the two young mages, one was reverent and the other was indifferent.

After looking around, Rosen's eyes fell on the beautiful man Yuragon.

To be honest, Yuragon is really handsome, and his behavior is also the most calm, full of the style of a prosperous son.

And although he was indifferent, there was a faint hint of fire in his eyes, obviously he was also interested in the princess.

Rosen had a clear feeling: "I want to marry a princess, and this Yuragon should be my greatest rival." ”

At this time, the sun had already set below the horizon, and the sky was darkening at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was not early, and Heya Jiali also showed a trace of fatigue on her face, waved her hand, and sent away the two reluctant flower protectors.

After seeing Heya Jiali walk into the main hall of the Morning Star Garden, he waited patiently for a while, and when he saw that the sky was completely dark, Rosen took out a disc-shaped communication magic weapon and gently injected mana.

This magic weapon was specially created when he attended the university meeting, and there was a pair.

One is in his hands, and the other is in the hands of Heajali.

Simply inject mana into one of them, and the gem on the other will show a shimmering glow, and a three-dimensional arrow will appear inside the gem, showing the opponent's position.

After about a minute of continuous input, the gem set in the teleportation device flashed and flashed, and a flashing arrow appeared, and it became brighter and brighter.

Rosen knew that Heagari had quietly flown away from the Morning Star Garden, and was rapidly approaching him.

He opened the hatch and waited patiently.

After a few minutes, a vague figure using invisibility entered the cabin and pulled the hatch back shut.

The figure immediately became clear, it was Heya Jiali wearing a blue-bottomed gold-rimmed French skirt.

As soon as he saw Rosen, he came over and threw himself into his arms with a look of joy.

"Master, you are finally here, Jiali misses you like the flooding Bilang River, and I can't help but want to go to the north to find you."

The Bilang River is the Hanshui River, the northern border is called the Hanshui River, and when it reaches the central and southern parts of the eastern border, it is called the Bilang River by the people in the east.

Lawson opened the cot in the back cabin and sat down, and then let Heagari sit on his lap.

"Carrie, don't call me Master Master in the future, just call me Lawson, or simply call me dear."

Heya Jiali thought for a moment and said, "You can not call yourself Master, but you must call it a unique title to reflect your unique position in my heart." ”

"Hmm~~ Let me think about it."

After tilting her head and thinking for a while, she said, "Master, I call you brother, right?" ”

Rosen shook his head again and again: "No, no, No, Your Highness, I'm younger than you, and I think it's weird for you to call me brother." ”

A hint of sadness suddenly appeared on Heyagari's face.

"Master, do you think I'm old?"

Rosen immediately shook his head: "How come?" Isn't this the most glamorous age? ”

Heyagari became more and more sad: "I heard that Thrandis and Gendeloni are only 23 years old, but I am already 26 years old, and I am clearly the oldest of the three wives of the master. ”

Seeing that she felt sorry for herself, Lawson hurriedly comforted: "Jiali, call me brother in the future." ”

Then he said: "Although Jiali is the oldest, she is also the oldest here, and I like it the most." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and touched down the steep waistline.

As soon as he touched it, Heya Jiali's eyes were blurred, and she snuggled softly in Rosen's arms, biting her lip lightly, and not saying a word.

After soothing for a while, Rosen whispered down to business: "Carrie, where should I rest tonight?" ”

You have to find a safe and secluded place to park this expensive flying machine.

And this plane is not big, but it is not small, so this kind of place is really hard to find.

Heyagari pondered.

Lawson immediately added: "Carrie, this one is the latest improvement, with a lot of auxiliary features, and it can achieve near-perfect stealth at night. ”

With that, things are suddenly much simpler.

"Then wait a minute, and stop in the storage warehouse in Morningstar Garden later to avoid accidents."

Rosen naturally had no opinion, and then began to get down to business.

"When will I meet the Duke? Is it okay tomorrow morning? ”

Heyagari shook her head: "No, it's just tonight, a little later, you wear an invisibility cloak." I'll take you quietly to the inner house study. ”

Lawson was stunned: "So urgent? ”

Heyagari's face showed three points of embarrassment and seven points of anxiety.

"Brother~ I'm really anxious, if you don't make a move, I'm afraid I'm really going to be married to Yuragon by my father."

"Elaborate?"

Seriously, Rosen wasn't surprised by this, he just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Heyajia sighed lightly and explained carefully: "My father has recently been being collected by the mage guild in the city, and he is so anxious that he can't sleep well. ”

Rosen said, "Tell me carefully." ”

In order to prevent accidental leakage, the letter was only vague, but at this time, it is necessary to understand it in detail.

In front of her lover, Heya Jiali did not have any concerns about the ugliness of her family, and directly exposed her father's old background.

"It's not about recruiting mages to drive petrified ships, but initially a 3 million kroner was agreed upon and paid at the end of the year. But some time ago there was a rare heavy snowfall. ”

"The snow was so heavy that it not only completely blocked the roads, but even crushed many houses and killed many people."

"Moreover, not only Nutao City, but also several cities such as Bibo City and Broken Leaf City, they have spent a lot of money on disaster relief."

"And then the money is not enough."

"Then the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave an IOU to the Mage's Guild without telling my father, agreeing to pay half of the commission first, and the other half after half a year."

"As a result, those high-level mages did not do it, forcing the guild leader, Master Laven, to come to Thundering Castle every day to beg for money."

Rosen wondered: "Disaster relief is not a bad thing. Those mid- and high-level mages are not short of money. It's not a matter of a few hundred crowns, and it's not that you don't give it, so why don't you agree? ”

Heya Jiali spread her hands, her face full of helplessness.

"Because the construction fee of the Lord of the Sea is still in arrears. Combined, the average mage owes 700 kroner, for a total of more than 10,000 mages. ”

That's seven million crowns.

Rosen's forehead was sweating: "Is my father-in-law so extravagant?" ”

As soon as she heard Lawson call her father her father-in-law, Heya Jiali felt warm and comfortable in her chest.

She sighed lightly: "My father's idea is one by one, but the specific money is raised by his ministers. ”

"Those ministers are all a group of flattering villains, in order to please my father, the sycophants beat louder than thunder, and after poking such a big leak, they can't end the game, and the matter is all to my father."

"My father was naturally furious, and he also felt very embarrassed, and he changed three chancellors of the exchequer in just one month, but no one could solve the problem, after all, no one could change money."

"Now things are stuck."

Rosen understood.

The finances of Angry Waves must be very tight, and there is basically no risk reserve, which is like walking a tightrope.

could have barely passed the level, but a sudden snowstorm broke the capital chain.

So there was a big thunderstorm.

He asked curiously, "What is the specific gap?" ”

"I don't really know, probably. Perhaps, for the time being, 2.8 million kroons will be needed. ”

"For the time being?"

Heyagari looked embarrassed: "To be precise, the debt that blocked the door is 2.8 million kroner, but if it is not blocked, I don't know very well." ”

"At present, we are still sorting out the accounts, but the accounts are very messy, and I guess there will be many, many problems in the end."

Lawson understood, but he wasn't surprised.

The good news is that the money he brought should be enough to fill the hole of 2.8 million, but more holes, but nothing can be done.

It's not a bad thing, because he can just use this money to have a showdown with the duke, and make the relationship between him and Jiali clear, so that his father-in-law doesn't think about selling his daughter.

However, this matter has to be consulted by Heya Jiali: "Jiali, if I fill this hole, will my father-in-law agree to us being together?" ”

Heyagari's eyes lit up suddenly, she thought about it carefully, and shook her head, her face full of worry.

"If it weren't, it would probably have agreed. But I can't say for sure. ”

Speaking of which, she explained in detail.

The Langley family, to which Yuragon belongs, is particularly wealthy, earning more than 8 million crowns a year. This time, in order to marry me, the Langley family, together with other White Sands families, urgently scraped together a huge sum of 30 million crowns. ”

Speaking of this, the expression on her face was very complicated, with anxiety, shame, disappointment, and apprehension.

"Anyway, my father is considering selling me to the Langley family. If my brother doesn't show up, I'll definitely be sold. ”

If she is sold, and the princess is found to be not pure on the wedding night, the scandal can spread throughout the golden land the next day, and the princess and those who defile the princess's purity will have a very bad end.

In this regard, Rosen was mentally prepared, thought about it, and decided to go to the bottom of the duke first, so he said: "Then take me to meet my father-in-law quietly." ”

Heya Jiali was very ashamed: "Brother, it was Jiali who made you embarrassed. ”

Rosen hugged Heya Jiali tightly, smiling comfortingly.

"Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed, I originally planned to marry Jiali at a sky-high price, there is no difference between early and late flowers."

The Duke may have been struggling for a moment, but as long as the Spear of Lightning was in hand, the crown would not fall.

As long as the crown does not fall, even if it is a little dimmed, the gain of marrying a princess is definitely far greater than the pay.

But then again, Heya Jiali is really a woman that is difficult for mortals to get, 30 million gold crowns, which is about more than 150 tons of gold.

Hearing him say this, Heya Jiali was relieved and moved, and when she raised her head slightly, she kissed Rosen's lips.

Rosen responded immediately.

So, above the clouds, both of them were immersed in tenderness and sweetness.

It wasn't until 8 o'clock in the evening, when it was completely dark, that Lawson flew the plane, following Heagarli's instructions, and quietly landed in the storage warehouse of Morning Star Garden.

At about 9 p.m., when Thundercastle was completely silent, he put on a high-level invisibility cloak and followed Heyagari into the Thundering Castle's inner house.
