Night, half past nine.

The inner house of Thundering Castle, the duke's private study.

St. Delance, Duke of Storm, sat behind the large desk, one hand on his forehead, the other tapping lightly on the tabletop, making a soft noise.

The dignified duke, who commanded the six major cities in the east, was the great lord of nearly 40 million mortals, and he couldn't come up with a mere 2.8 million crowns of money, and he was blocked by creditors every day.

It's the most ridiculous thing in the world.

But then again, the chancellors of the exchequer are really bastards, who have never told themselves good news, and none of them have bad news, and they actually hide that they owe such a large amount of money.

"What a damn thing!"

Dracys couldn't help but curse again, feeling that he had lost all his face in the past few days.

The Langley family said that being willing to raise money for him would alleviate the financial crisis in Angry Waves City, but coveting his own pearl made him feel like he was selling his daughter to pay off his debts.

He is a dignified Duke of Storm, how can he sell his daughter to pay off his debts?

Isn't that what the farmer does?

But then again, 30 million kroner is indeed not a small amount, and daughters have to marry after all, who is not married?

Just as all sorts of thoughts were spinning in his head, there was a soft knock on the door.

'Tuk Tuk~~'

Outside the door, her daughter's voice said, "Father, can I come in?" ”

"Carrie? Why are you coming here so late? Why don't you get some rest?! ”

Heya Jiali directly pushed the door and walked into the study: "My father can't sleep, and my daughter can't sleep, so I want to talk to my father about my daughter's marriage." ”

Hearing this, Delance frowned slightly.

"I'll naturally worry about this, you're focusing on learning spells~ You also brought someone here?"

Heagari closed the door and cast a powerful silent barrier that enveloped the room.

At the same time, the body of a young man gradually appeared in the air, it was Rosen.

Rosen had seen the Duke on the photo, and he naturally recognized it at a glance, and he saluted respectfully.

"Lord Duke, the Golden Baron of the Crescent Collar, the god-given Earl Lawson of the Flying Fish Islands. Philand salutes you. ”

Originally, seeing that his daughter brought a strange young man into the study of the inner house in the middle of the night, Delance was a little angry, but when he heard the identity of the other party, his anger dissipated ninety percent, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It turned out to be a young master of flow numbers, why did you come to see me quietly at night?"

And during this time, Rosen had been carefully observing the Duke's expression.

Seeing that his brows were unconsciously frowned, with a trace of tiredness on his face, he knew that the other party must be under a lot of pressure.

Under such great pressure, he was able to immediately suppress his anger and squeeze out a smile after seeing him, which showed that he really respected the mage very much.

In addition, being forced into debt by the president of the Mage Guild did not turn his face, but found a way to raise money to repay the debt, which also indirectly proves this.

In short, you can be presumptuous in front of the other party.

So, he said directly: "Lord Duke, I heard Jiali talk about the debt crisis of Thundering Castle, so I want to share your worries." ”

Hearing this, Delances's eyebrows jumped, and he frowned: "Can you call Carrie too?" ”

He felt that this young man was a little out of proportion, even if he was a golden baron, but his territory was so big, what qualifications did he have to be on an equal footing with him.

Rosen smiled faintly: "Lord Duke, actually, I also want to ask you for Princess Jiali this time." ”

"What?!"

Delancy's heart was shocked, his eyes widened with anger, he stood up for a while, and stared at Rosen for a while before calming down a little.

"Baron, I hope you know what you're talking about?!"

"There is such a small part of your territory, and I gave you the Flying Fish Islands. You are married in the north, what right do you have to marry my daughter? ”

Rosen asked rhetorically, "Isn't it permissible for people from the Eastland to marry multiple wives?" ”

Desis laughed angrily, too lazy to speak, and raised his hand to the study door.

"You get out of here, stay in your Flying Fish Islands honestly in the future, and never come to my Fury Waves City!"

This reaction made Rosen's heart move again.

"Good fellow, I've gone so far, I'm just driving me away. This duke may have other character flaws, but the forbearance is really very good. ”

If someone dared to change him to the dukeship, he would have asked the guards to fork him out a long time ago.

So he stood still.

"Lord Duke, I love Jiali very much, I hope you can agree to our marriage, and I will definitely do my best to help you build the Great Floating City."

When he heard the first half of the sentence, the duke sneered angrily, but after hearing the word 'Great Floating City', the sneer paused.

He snorted coldly: "Without you, the master of flow numbers, I can still afford to build a big floating city!" ”

Rosen shook his head: "Lord Duke, you may be able to find someone to build a floating city with a diameter of 100 semi, or even 200 semi, but if you want to build a large floating city with a diameter of more than one meter, you can only come to me." ”

The Duke was shocked when he heard this: "A lami-diameter floating city, young man, do you dare to think about it?!" ”

But he didn't leave again to drive Lawson away.

Rosen's mind moved, and he cast a small mirror image, carefully describing the shape of the Great Floating City.

"Look, Duke, I can build the Floating City to such a big size, if it is suspended above the Angry Waves City, it will really cover the sky and the sun, and the momentum alone can scare people to death."

The big floating city in the mirror image is very fine, and the details are extremely full, which makes people feel real at a glance, and under the big floating city is the appearance of the angry wave city, and the comparison between the two sides makes it more and more real.

Duke Storm stared at him for a moment, then finally sighed lightly, a hint of regret on his face.

"It's a good thing, but it's definitely very expensive, and I'm afraid I can't afford to build it."

As soon as he looked like this, Rosen knew that this duke was a ronin, the kind of ronin who didn't have much ability himself, but liked to do big things.

When he has no money, he can barely hold on to his character, and once he has money in his hand, he can immediately float to the sky.

And the reason why this is the case is, firstly, it is due to nature, and secondly, it may be that he was looked down upon before ascending the throne, leaving a knot in his heart.

Considering that this is the eastern realm where magic is prosperous, and the duke is a samurai, I am afraid that he has been ridiculed a lot because of his identity.

He also has a feeling that the 2.8 million gap that has been exposed so far is probably just the tip of the iceberg.

The real fiscal gap is probably a very, very staggering number.

With his current ability, he must be far from being able to fill it.

If you want to fill it, you have to work hard for more than ten years to make it possible.

But if you don't fill it in now, the duke will definitely find someone who can fill it in, and then Jiali will have to get married.

What to do?

As soon as Rosen gritted his teeth, he used a dangerous move.

He said softly: "Duke, let me tell you the truth, when I was in the imperial capital, Jiali and I were already together. ”

The Duke was immersed in the fantasy of the Great Floating City, and was stunned when he heard this: "Together. What do you mean? ”

Lawson took Heya Jiali's hand: "It's become an actual husband and wife." ”

"What?!"

Desis roared, and felt a rush of blood rush into his brain, and he stood up sharply, because he was standing so fast that his eyes were so dark that he almost fainted on the spot.

He propped up the table with his hands, and breathed for a long time before he stabilized his mind a little, and glared at his favorite daughter with a pair of blood-red eyes.

"Say, is this true?"

Heya Jiali had never seen her father like this, and she was a little frightened for a while, so she hid behind Lawson and said in a mosquito-like voice: "I really love the master, I don't care if he marries a wife or not." ”

"You shameless slut!"

Delance grabbed a book on the table and slammed it down on his daughter.

The book was thick, and the corners were inlaid with gold, and when it flew out, Descisis regretted it.

"Oh no, too hard."

He is a great samurai, but his daughter is only a high-level mage, so maybe he will smash her.

As a result, halfway through the book, he suddenly stretched out a hand and caught the book in the air, and then shook it slightly, causing the book to float back to the desk.

Rosen smiled faintly: "Father-in-law, don't get excited. ”

After experiencing the initial psychic shock, Delance calmed down a little, and watched Rosen grit his teeth: "You shut up for me, I'm not your father-in-law!" ”

He really wanted to send this guy to the guillotine, but it had happened, and even if he killed this kid to vent his hatred, his daughter's chastity would not return.

30 million kroner, that's it.

Lawson reached out and grabbed Heya Jiali's hand, and this action made Delances's forehead flutter, and made him even more angry, his daughter didn't refuse at all, and snuggled into the other party's arms!

"I don't know etiquette! No shame! From now on, you're not."

As soon as the words rushed to his throat, he was stopped by Rosen's loud shout: "Father-in-law is cautious!" ”

Delance took a deep breath and swallowed back the words that rushed to his lips, his face turned pale, and he turned to look at Rosen.

"Boy, you go back to the Crescent Moon for me, I'm going to take back the Flying Fish Islands!"

"If you don't leave, I'll kill you!"

Lawson secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"This guy can really bear it, he can't even hold back this. If I do something even more excessive, will he be able to bear it? ”

Of course, at present, it is almost to the extreme, and one step further, that is, to die.

So, his attitude softened and gave a sweet date: "Father-in-law, 2.8 million kroner debt, son-in-law, I will help you fill it." ”

Dralance was stunned, and the anger that was about to explode was stagnant.

"You little lord, where did you get so much money?"

Rosen smiled slightly and immediately began to brag about the pie.

"Father-in-law, although my crescent collar is small, there are many workshops."

"The average price of a microscope is 6,000 crowns, and the high-end one can be sold for more than 10,000 yuan. I've sold over 500 units so far. ”

It is true that more than 500 units have been sold, but the number has gone up, but the unit price has fallen, and the high-end microscope only accounts for one-tenth, and the average price is only 1,300 crowns.

"In addition, I have developed many precision optical glass instruments, a complete set is sold for 3,000 crowns, more than 1,000 people have come to me to order, and 100 sets have been delivered."

It is true that 100 sets of goods were delivered, but there were no 1,000 reservations, and the actual number was only 400.

"Then, the temples everywhere came to me to customize the new weapons produced by my Crescent Collar, and I have earned millions of crowns in the past few months."

The profit margin of this business was very low, the trade volume was millions of crowns, but only more than 200,000 crowns were earned.

"In the end, I just sold the second prince an extraordinary flying magic weapon that can fly at 2.4 times the speed of sound at the fastest, and the prince gave me 2 million kroner in one go."

It's true, but it's a hammer deal.

In the future, Zhongjing can build his own plane, so he won't come to buy him, at least not for so much money.

In short, Rosen has blown up his earning power by a large margin.

His crescent business currently has a stable trade volume of 2.2 million crowns and a profit of 800,000 crowns a year.

He was half-true and half-true, and directly blew it to 6 million.

He bet that the Duke would not investigate, and he did not have the ability to investigate.

Even if an expert is sent to investigate, it will not be clear for a while, because the business of the Crescent Moon Collar is all over the Golden Land.

Because he completely understands that this duke is a loser who only knows how to spend money on a show, but does not know how to run and make a fortune.

He doesn't have much power.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Delance was a little shocked, but a little incredulous.

"You are a little crescent leader, are you so powerful?"

His annual financial income in Angry Waves City is only 11 million crowns, but he didn't expect that the income of a small crescent moon would reach half of that of Angry Waves City.

It's incredible just thinking about it.

Rosen shrugged his shoulders: "Father-in-law, I never tell lies, I have already brought the money anyway, if you need it, I can give it to you immediately." ”

"I dare say that when I run the Flying Fish Islands, I will definitely make many times more money than I do now. If Carrie marries me, she will never be treated badly. ”

The duke's face showed a hint of excitement, and he couldn't believe it.

"That place in the Flying Fish Islands, can you really run it?"

Lawson smiled slightly: "Father-in-law, the Crescent Collar turned out to be a broken place, much more broken than the archipelago." ”

The Duke nodded in approval.

This is also true, and this son-in-law in front of him. Phew~ What son-in-law, in short, although this guy is a bastard, his talent is indeed very rare.

Fame, magic talent, management ability, etc., etc., are all top assets, if you don't have a wife, it is okay to marry your daughter to him.

But he married a wife, and ruined his daughter's innocence in advance, and then threatened himself with this matter, and lost his 30 million kroner at once.

It made him feel an indescribable anger in his heart.

So, he was silent, not saying yes, nor saying no.

Of course, Rosen could see the Duke's anger, and everyone would be angry about this.

He immediately reassured: "Father-in-law, when I develop the territory, I will fully support you." Whatever you want to do, I support you and I will use all my ingenuity to help you achieve your goals. ”

"Not only don't you have to worry about money, but you don't even have to worry about talents, spells, and resources, all of them are handed over to my son-in-law, and my son-in-law can help you solve them together."

After saying this, Delance became more and more moved.

He looked at his daughter, "What he said is true?" ”

Heyagari nodded.

"Of course it's true. Moreover, my brother had taken a five-day course at the Golden Magic Academy before, and he earned 400,000 kroner from the course fee alone. ”

Delance frowned when he heard this: "He's only 17 years old, how old are you?" What's your brother's name? ”

Rosen smiled: "Father-in-law, it's okay, I like to listen." ”

Dracys wanted to get angry again, but in the end he endured it and asked, "This is your first flying magic weapon, and it's normal to sell it." When you build more in the future, can you still sell it for such an expensive price? ”

Rosen shook his head: "Actually, I am the only one who can build a flying magic weapon at present, and I assert that even if someone else can build it, it must be the best and most powerful magic weapon I have built!" ”

"If my father-in-law is willing to marry Jiali to me, then if I want to buy the best flying magic weapon in the world, I can only ask my father-in-law to order it, and it is up to my father-in-law to make a price."

Delance was very impressed.

As soon as he thought of selling the best and fastest flying magic weapons in the eastern realm, and it was his son-in-law who made the magic weapons, he felt a dark feeling in his heart!

It's a lot more enjoyable than marrying your daughter to Yuragon.

Although Yuragon is also a hero, his light is far less brilliant than that of Lawson.

As soon as Rosen saw his expression, he knew that the duke's level was almost cleared by him.

He continued his efforts: "Father-in-law, you must have heard about my plan to float the stars, right?" ”

"Yes, I've heard of it, and I admit it's an amazing plan, even more amazing than the Great Floating City."

Rosen immediately said: "Just think about it, if our Eastern Realm can send mortals to the moon first, then what should people in other realms think of you?" ”

"This is a supreme feat that the Golden God has not even achieved!"

Damnes's heart shook when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he didn't know why, but he felt the stain in front of him. Phew~~~ This young son-in-law became very pleasing to the eye.

How to look at it and how pleasing to the eye.

After a pause, he finally relented: "I can marry Jiali to you, but I must be separated from your other wives, and I must not let them stay in the same bed as my daughter." ”

"Absolutely not."

"What about the money to fill the hole?"

"On my flying weapon, I brought a full 3 million kroner this time, which was originally a gift for my father-in-law."

"I didn't expect my father-in-law to need it too, it seems that God specially borrowed my hand and gave this money to my father-in-law, your son of God."

In fact, he brought 4.5 million, but his Flying Fish Islands also had to use money.

Delance felt very comfortable in his heart, and he looked at Lawson more and more pleasing to the eye, and he only felt how good he looked.

"You're fine with everything else, you just shouldn't be secretly with Carrie."

Rosen immediately said: "Father-in-law, I really admire the peerless appearance of His Royal Highness Jiali, the first time I saw it, I felt that this was the goddess of my dreams, and I couldn't restrain myself, so I made a big mistake, and I asked my father-in-law to forgive me." ”

Delances was pleased with Rosen's admission of error.

"It's not a big mistake, young people have hot blood, and when they see their beloved girl, they naturally want to be with her. But before the real wedding, this must not be spread. ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry, absolutely not!"

"Also, you can't marry my daughter directly now."

"Because you don't have any merit in my eastern border, if you marry my daughter as soon as you come, other city lords will definitely not accept it, especially Baisha City, I'm afraid it will be separated from my Angry Wave City."

Rosen immediately said, "Father-in-law, give me a year." ”

"In a year's time, I will build a floating city with a diameter of 50 semimi, and then I will drive the floating city and fill it with rich courtship gifts to ask you!"

Delance was very pleased with the plan: "Then I'll give you a year." ”

He turned to look at his daughter again, his face softening.

"Carrie, this husband you chose is not bad! But if you want me to be satisfied, you have to keep trying. ”

The second half of the sentence is addressed to Rosen.

Rosen smiled slightly, and was about to say a few beautiful words, when there was another knock on the study door, and a gentle voice came from outside the door.

"Honey, it's late, aren't you going to sleep yet?"

"Oh~Jira~ I'll be right here."

After Delance finished shouting, but did not hear a response, he remembered that his daughter had set a silent barrier in the house.

'Click~'

The door opened, and a beautiful woman walked in, her appearance was eight points similar to that of Heya Jiali, but compared to the slightly green Heya Jiali, she looked much more mature.

She had a luxurious demeanor and a graceful expression, but because she was in a warm inner house, she only wore a thin silk pajamas.

The silk is silky and clearly outlines the delicate figure, so it shows an indescribable, but particularly sultry sense of charm.

Needless to say, this is naturally the Duchess.

Rosen glanced at it, immediately looked down at the ground, and remained silent.

The Duchess was also taken aback when she saw that there were outsiders, and immediately closed the door and withdrew: "My dear, what the hell is going on?" ”

"It's not a big deal, I'll explain it to you later. You go to sleep first. ”

It's just an inconsequential vignette.

Desnes said to Rosen, "Okay, that's all for today." ”

"Jiali, arrange for your husband to rest, you can be with him, but you must not be discovered by outsiders, let alone pregnant, understand?!"

It's all like this, and he doesn't bother to care about it.

Heya Jiali was overjoyed: "Yes, father, I remember."

"Alright, it's time for me to go rest."

Then he opened the door and walked away, and the sound of conversation outside the door faded away, but it was the Duke who was explaining to his wife what had happened.

In the study, Heya Jiali happily hugged Rosen and gave him a big fragrant kiss: "Brother, you are so amazing!" ”

Lawson smiled slightly: "General, more powerful is yet to come." ”

But I sighed in my heart.

"The cow is blown out, but the bragging is simple, and the cow that blows to the sky falls smoothly, that is the real test."

As you can expect, the Duchess still has one more hurdle to pass.

And that's the real difficulty.

Serious briefing!

To make it clear, the values of this book are positive, and there will never be any plot that violates human ethics in the text.
