542. Gifts
When Jenny Gallop met Rand for the first time, she was neither particularly amazed nor overly disappointed. In her opinion, the young knights and mages in front of her are more ordinary children of big families: they have reached a high level at a young age, and they are obviously very arrogant in their hearts, but they will behave approachably.
Jenny, who used the mermaid charm but was not very successful, secretly thought to herself: "Let me take a look at your condition, and see how rich you really are as the master of Night Qi City." ”
"Count Lante, this time I came here on behalf of my father, the Marquis of Fiat, just to see what is going on in Night Qicheng that our family can serve," Jenny's voice turned to listen, and she took out several magic sealing boxes from the spatial ring in her hand. "My father asked me to bring you some gifts."
A box of potions, a set of demonic armor that can be used by the sea, and a small box of magic books and demonic jewelry, these are the gifts that Jenny pressed all her belongings, which are always available in the market for 6,000 gold. She hoped that such a gift would impress the lord on the other side, so that he could open an opening for his family and have a higher status in Night Qi City.
However, the girl did not see a trace of greed on the man's face, but he took out three boxes unhurriedly, and while opening them, he said, "It just so happens that I have some here that you have to bring to the Marquis of Fiat." ”
Galloping Horse Wine Set, a full set of Galloping Knight's Team Captain Armor, and a set of 16 magical amber jewelry, when Jenny carefully examined the magic patterns of these three boxes, she realized that Rand had deliberately pulled out three gifts of similar type but more expensive than her gifts.
Especially the 16 pieces of magic pattern amber jewelry, although among his gifts, there is also a valuable mid-level car headband, but compared to a complete set of magic jewelry, it is still a little thinner.
The more she looked at Rand's gift, the more worried Jenny became, the meaning of the other side was obvious, that is, she didn't want to take advantage of herself, and when she met in the future, she would recognize a relative, and she would get it without owing each other.
When she had finished reading all the gifts, the girl noticed that Rand had taken out another very delicate bottle in her hand, and the palm-sized glass bottle had a galloping horse logo on it, and it looked like there were quite a few magic patterns on it.
Rand handed the bottle to Jenny and introduced, "This is our latest product - skin cream, you can use it as an external potion, the potion is extracted from two magic mushrooms, combined with the lanolin of the long-haired sheep, which can play a good role in moisturizing and maintaining the magic lines of the body." ”
"Moisturizing?" Jenny took the glass bottle, only to find that it was embedded with a small piece of amber with magic patterns, and the amber exuded a faint water-based magic, which made the girl who was fed up with turbulence and dryness feel a lot better at once.
In fact, Rand has no concept of skin care products, and it was only after Kaye suggested that her magic patterns needed to be maintained, and Rand tried to make a few with Halkara, but Wendy and others couldn't give any opinion on the moisturizer.
Looking at Jenny's interest in front of him, Rand knew that he had sent the right person: "You can give it a try and give us advice, most of the children in my territory are locals, and they don't feel much about moisturizing." ”
As soon as the bottle was opened, there was a faint scent of flowers, and the girl tried to pour some on her hands and apply it to the watery magic lines on her cheeks, and immediately there was a refreshing feeling of returning to the beach.
Jenny closed her eyes and enjoyed it for a moment before she began to comment, "I have to say, it's a great potion, but can I suggest that you make the magic pattern effect on the bottle more prominent, so that the water magician can use the bottle itself as a magic accessory and carry it with him." ”
"You mean, it's similar to essential oils, right?" Rand nodded, "Thank you very much for your suggestion, I knew you would be able to give professional advice." ”
After fighting the baby, the two fell into a short silence, Jenny is a latecomer who sees the moves, and adapts, she understands that the lord in front of her has a good card in his hand: recovering the Night Qicheng, backing the fairy queen, fighting against the orcs and winning, and letting the barbarians convert to the God Emperor, which is much more reliable than their family in charge of the galloping horse family but taking refuge in the sea monster, holding the galloping horse fund, and shouting to fight back to the galloping horse plain but building warships every year.
So Jenny couldn't wait to let Rand say it first, she figured out Rand's thoughts, and then she took advantage of the situation to let the two families bridge the misunderstanding. However, Rand in front of her is obviously also a latecomer, and after both of them are silent, she, as the party who takes the initiative to see, must speak first.
"My lord, I know you've heard some rumors about my family, and you know a little about the organization and composition of the Galloping Horse Fund," after a short thought, Jenny decided to say something most practical, "I wonder if you would like to know more about the accounts of the Galloping Horse Fund?" ”
"I brought back a few boxes of ledgers from the Imperial Capital," Rand said with a smile, which had been moved back one after another in the name of the Night Qicheng Finance Department and Halkala.
"It's not those face-to-face accounts, it's the detailed accounts of our family and the Galloping Horse Fund, I wonder if Lord Rand are interested in hearing about it?" Jenny looked at Rand with a smile, and when she saw him nodding, she began to recite it.
"From the year 725 of the Emperor of God, when the world was at peace, His Majesty recovered all the war bonds held by the Galloping Horse family, and in 730, when the Galloping Horse Fund was formed, the fund has been in operation for 272 years. In the year when the fund was established, the Imperial Department of Finance allocated 200,000 gold coins to invest in the family's 12 magic workshops, and in the next 5 years, 350,000 gold coins were invested to support another 40 workshops, a total of 52 workshops are the source of the prosperity of the Galloping Horse clan today, only last year was the year of the God Emperor 996, and all the magic workshops of the Galloping Horse family had to be handed over to the Galloping Horse Fund into 750,000 gold coins, of which the Southeast Kingdom handed over 520,000 gold coins. ”
At this point, the girl asked Randt, "Does this match some of the data you see?" ”
Seeing that Rand nodded slightly, Jenny continued to add: "I can also tell you some specific accounts here, such as the dozens of magic workshops belonging to the Fiat family in the Southeast Kingdom, which mainly produce religious buildings, water system magic plates, water system healing scrolls, and the cultivation of 6 types of magic shells. ”
"I can understand Lord Rand's perception of the Galloping Horse Fund, and I can also understand your desire to use the Galloping Horse Fund as a construction of the Galloping Horse Plain, but I must remind you that the fund that seems to be worth a lot to outsiders can actually withdraw very limited flexible funds, and the annual subsidies distributed to the Galloping Horse families are completely supported by the encouragement of our Fiat family."
