Chapter 217: The 'Trick' That Suddenly Came to the Door
Li Ellie's day is occupied by all kinds of affairs.
In the morning, Joanna reveals that Ruby Moneybag, the president of the Goblin Bank, has something urgent to see.
When it comes to the Emerald City's 'treasury', Li Aili apologetically turns down her date with the duke.
Yes, marriage did not cool down the love between the two, but ...... Uh, Arthur seems to be getting more clingy?
How to put it, it's like a lone wolf hovering around your partner at any time.
"I can't go to the morning hunt, the goblin bank looks like it's in a bit of trouble." At breakfast, Li Aili cut through the mess quickly, didn't raise her head, and didn't dare to look at Arthur's expression at this time.
Sure enough, the sound of a dinner knife cutting through the chops stopped.
The Duke's voice seemed to be tinged with ice slag, "The Goblin Bank in the Emerald Valley is going to fail?" ”
"You have to take care of this kind of trivial matter, and the civil servants of the city hall are all idiots?"
Li Ellie didn't dare to squeak.
After all, it was the duke who couldn't get enough of it last night to stop by going hunting together today......
"Well, it looks like it's been a long time since you've taken your knights on a hunting trip."
The duke's face turned cold again.
"I mean, as a leader, proper team-building activities help ......"
The face, cold and dark.
Li Aili couldn't do it, "Why don't we move our date to the afternoon?" You hunt with the knights in the morning, wait for me to come home in the afternoon, and then we go on a date? ”
Arthur was pleased by the word 'home', and his face softened.
"Remember that silver dragon?" The Duke continued to cut the chops on his hands.
"That golden dragon is getting along with the silver dragon, I went to see it yesterday, and they have already laid eggs."
Ellie Lee: "??? ”
Li Li: "!! ”
"Really!?" This is something she never expected.
"Well, in the afternoon, we can go and open dragon eggs together."
During the incubation period, dragons are very reluctant to get close to their eggs.
But Arthur was different, his eyes and heart came from the platinum dragon Caesar. And the metal dragon is inherently subservient to the platinum bloodline.
In this way, the couple happily finished their lunch and went their separate ways.
Standing in front of the window of the City Hall office, Li Aili watched the knights in silver riding horses.
You can see that excitement is written on the faces of the knights.
Hunting, it is they who beat the prey to the point of 'looking for teeth all over the ground'.
At the training ground, it was they who were beaten by the huge swarms of activated plants and were 'looking for teeth'.
Li Ellie turned around, and Ruby Money Bag was still talking behind her.
"O god of wealth, those people can always find all sorts of excuses for not paying off the loans we have lent."
"Those shit offshoots! Forgive me for using such vulgar language in front of you.
It's just that when I think of the bad debts on the ledger, I tend to lose control of my emotions. ”
"I don't know if you've heard of it, some lazy people, after hearing about this, they have already begun to think crookedly."
"Our auditors have found more than one such 'loan fraud'."
"Those lazy people just need to buy a good-looking outfit, take the trouble to clean up their sloppy appearance, pretend to be five or six, and come to us to cheat loans with a mouth and a dexterous tongue."
Ruby Money Bag said this, his dark green face was red (angry), and he gasped.
He took a deep breath, "Wisdom is you, you must have a solution to our current predicament. ”
Li Aili listened probably.
It all started with an accident a month ago.
A bakery owner who took out a business loan at a goblin bank was unable to repay the loan due to a fire in his storefront.
As a result, some people have crooked thoughts.
Be prepared to scam Goblin Bank of business loans.
Although Li Aili made a move to the Goblin Bank, using some ways and methods that made the 'laid' nobles lose face, 'asking' them to repay the loan.
But obviously, this trick is not effective against those ruffians who are not ashamed in the first place.
Unless the auditor spends a lot of time and effort doing background checks, Goblin Bank will inevitably have bad debts.
And, it's a bad start.
Li Aili put down the teacup in her hand and spoke under the eager gaze of the goblin, "Do you know about mortgages? ”
Goblin: "? ”
Li Elli explained briefly.
The more the goblin listened, the brighter his eyes became.
Slackers don't necessarily have a job, but they do have a place to sleep.
And as we all know, the land in the Emerald City is very valuable.
No one will lose a property of 100,000 gold coins for the sake of 1,000 gold coins of entrepreneurial funds.
As soon as Li Aili raised her eyes, she saw the goblin's expression, and immediately guessed that this thing might be thinking crookedly.
Very good, now she doesn't have to worry about the old man cheating on the loan, but she has to worry about the goblin maliciously ruining the lender's business for the sake of real estate.
"As for the failure of the business caused by the accident, I would like to recommend a new project to you, called 'insurance'."
For the remaining hour, Li explained the concept of 'insurance' in detail.
The goblin's eyes grew brighter and brighter the more they listened, and eventually they all turned into kilowatt "light bulbs".
When he left the office, Li Aili breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and glanced at the time, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
She got up and hurried home, where she had a simple sandwich in the carriage.
The Duke has returned.
Li Ellie could smell the faint smell of blood in the air in the vestibule, "Arthur has returned?" ”
The polite butler Conrad said, "Yes, Your Highness has fought a lot of high-level demonic beasts with the knights. ”
"Recently, the number of demonic beasts outside the city has surged a lot."
"Your Highness said that it may have been caused by those huge revitalized crops."
"After all, in addition to being able to fight, those plants contain high magic power and excellent taste, which is very in line with the taste of Warcraft."
Listening, Li Aili nodded, thinking in her heart that in the future, she would ask Arthur to put the matter of regular hunting and cleaning up the demonic beasts outside the city on the itinerary.
"What about him?"
Conrad 'betrayed the boss' and said: "I have washed away the smell of blood, I have chosen a low-key and elegant outfit, and now I can see the study room here on the second floor waiting for you." ”
Ellie Lee: "......"
She couldn't help but look up at the window of the study on the second floor, and sure enough, she saw the duke who had withdrawn his gaze as if nothing had happened.
Li Aili couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth, "Conrad, did anyone say that you, in fact, you are quite evil." ”
Conrad took off his glasses, revealing demonic pupils, "Really?" It's probably an old man who has a little childlike innocence. ”
Li Aili saw that the duke's specially selected clothes, deep blue, very good for his eyes, not as frivolous as sapphire blue, but also set off the nobility and calmness of the man.
The jewel of the cuff neckline is also carefully selected.
In short, like a male peacock with only the screen open.
Suddenly, Li Aili felt that she was dressed too casually.
When she goes to the town hall, she always dresses in dark colors for formal occasions.
"Then, tell your Highness that his wife is going to change her clothes and go to his appointment."
With that, she gracefully lifted the hem of her skirt and gave a ladylike salute to the duke, who had a glimpse of the window.
Joanna became the 'Jade Prime Minister', and the position of personal female officer was given to Lily.
Li Ailie, who walked into the castle quickly, said to the female officer who followed her: "Dear Lily, help me choose a dress, I have a date with the Duke in the afternoon." ”
As soon as the words fell, a space door opened beside him, and the devil Claude, who had not been seen for a long time, walked out with a subtle expression: "There is a letter here, please sign it immediately." ”
Li Ellie: "? ”
Ever since Hell Express spread all over the world, Claude has lived the 'oil press' days of the big bosses of the capitalists.
It's been a long time since he's personally 'worked'.
Li Aili couldn't help but wonder who invited the 'devil's sweatshop' Claude.
"Who can let you run the order yourself?" Li Ali took the envelope.
The envelope is black.
Li Aili took it and there was a subtle feeling.
When she opened the letter, she heard Claude rub his chin with interest, staring at Li Ali with straight pupils and saying, "It's a god." ”
Li Aili pulled out the letter paper and paused.
This is a letter of worship from a deity.
The time of the visit was urgent, no wonder the other party entrusted the devil express.
In the next second, there was a cautious knock at the gate of the castle.
Li Ali also saw the inscription at the end of the greeting post - "Your sister, Aniana. ”
Ellie Lee: "......"
For the 'mysterious woman' who suddenly appeared in front of the gate of the Emerald Castle, dressed in a black veil, the knights of the castle seemed to be suddenly 'blind'.
They stood as straight as statues on the left and right of the gate, but none of them noticed the 'sudden visit' guest.
"Open the door." Li Aili said lightly to the expressionless Conrad, "Also, let me inform Arthur that his sister is visiting, and the afternoon appointment is going to be canceled." ”
