Chapter 81: An Unexpected Award
After thinking about it, Alice muttered: "2 million, this is enough to buy a high-level artifact......"
Although Ryan didn't have such a thing as an artifact, he also understood something, and replied: "High-level artifacts may not be enough, but medium-level ones are definitely enough." If it is a quasi-artifact that can buy a complete set, the combat power after using it will definitely exceed that of the vast majority of people who have just entered the legendary realm. ”
"Alas, but after all, it is not a legend in itself. Alice felt a faint sadness, she understood Miller's distress, after all, her former teacher, a Sanctuary Warlock, had been stuck in front of the legendary gate for fifty years, and finally failed to force a breakthrough, and died two thousand years ago. She shook her head and said, "You say, what does the Blackwater Consortium think, because of a quasi-artifact, dare to lend him 3 million?"
Ryan smiled: "Although the Covenant Blade is only a quasi-artifact, it represents a different meaning, and I think the Blackwater Consortium values this point." ”
Alice sighed, decided not to continue on this topic, and complained: "You can still laugh, you said you, why didn't you persuade me yesterday! If you stop Leo at that time, maybe there will be no 3 million debts." ”
Ryan suddenly replied bitterly: "I remember that I seemed to have persuaded it, and it was you who said that you should consider it." ”
"Do I have it?" Alice raised a delicate brow, and quickly remembered that Ryan had indeed persuaded herself, so she had to say helplessly: "Okay, 2 million, how much does Miller say he can come up with?"
Ryan replied: "All the net worth combined, it will not exceed 500,000, and the money he has accumulated over the years has been invested in this plan." ”
Alice was at a loss and said, "What should I do?" Even if I can give him 500,000, there is still a gap of 1 million, this matter has been destroyed by me, and it is related to my brother, I definitely can't ignore it...... And he couldn't let his father know that he was already very dissatisfied with his brother. This kind of thing happened again, alas......"
Ryan grinned slightly, and said, "Why don't you let Miller redeem the sword with the money in his hand first, and then get out." ”
Alice suddenly glared and said in surprise: "You mean, let him roll up the money and run away?"
Ryan nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's it! Anyway, the world is so big, and those who bet on him can't find him." ”
For a moment, Alice was really moved, and quickly vetoed it flatly: "No! And he has worked with several markets with backgrounds, even including my two uncles. The number of millions is that he can't run away even at the ends of the earth, and this matter must be controlled in a small range as much as possible!"
After a pause, Alice suddenly slapped the table irritably: "You brought Leo here, it's all because of him, let him think of a way for me!"
Although Ryan felt that this matter had nothing to do with the human family, he wished that someone would suffer for him, so he immediately stood up and walked outside.
............
A few minutes later. Leo, who was doing electromagnetism, came to the princess's study.
"Your Highness Princess, are you looking for me?" asked Leo, bowing slightly, and he could feel that something was not quite right with Alice.
Alice motioned for Leo to sit down. So he asked directly, "Your father is a businessman?" ”
"yes, what's wrong?" Leo wondered why the other party suddenly asked this.
Alice smiled disguisedly: "It's nothing, it's just that I've been short of money to spend recently, and I want to ask you to help me think of a way." How can you get some money. Since your father was a businessman, you must know something about this. ”
Leo blinked and asked blankly, "How much do you want to get?"
Alice deliberately acted as if she didn't care. replied: "Not much, 1 million should be about the same." ”
"1 million, are you kidding?" said Leo, who suddenly grew his mouth in surprise. A huge sum of 1 million is enough to buy an earl family.
Alice pursed her lips, very dissatisfied with Leo's attitude, and said sternly: "No kidding, I'm short of 1 million now." ”
"If I can get 1 million, what contract do I need to sign with you?" Leo sneered, and then vaguely understood, and asked, "Is it because I won the first place?"
Alice pondered for a moment, waved her hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this, just talk about it and see if there is any way to get 1 million in the short term." ”
Leo could see that Alice didn't let him know in order to protect himself, but the huge amount of 1 million yuan, how could a little person like him who wanted to have no identity and no status find a way.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be showing signs of madness, Leo had an idea: "Your Royal Highness, your reputation should be very good." ”
"Of course yes, it's a well-known thing. Alice glanced at Leo.
Leo smiled, "Then the best way is to raise funds without law." ”
When Alice heard this word for the first time, she frowned and wondered, "What do you mean?"
"Uh...... The vocabulary I said is somewhat inaccurate, and it should be called private financing. Leo hurriedly changed his words and continued to explain: "It is to use your reputation to raise funds from the general public, and agree on the corresponding interest. When a certain period of time is reached, you will return the principal with interest. I guess your reputation is so good, it shouldn't be a big problem to raise funds. ”
"Seems to be very feasible!, why didn't I think of this solution!" Alice looked at Leo with fiery eyes, eager to go up and kiss him, but soon noticed that something was wrong, and hesitated, "But how am I going to pay it back in the future?"
Leo pursed his lips and smiled bitterly, "This...... It's up to you to figure it out. ”
Alice immediately thought about it, the private financing that Leo said was indeed the most effective way at present, but she really didn't want to joke with her reputation, if she really couldn't pay back the money in the future, the consequences would probably be even worse, and her mind was full of entanglements for a while.
At this time, the maid Jennifer knocked on the door and said, "Your Royal Highness, Mr. Minecil, there is a gentleman who calls himself Alvin who is looking for Mr. Minethiel. ”
"He came for me, how did he know I was here?" Leo looked at Alice in confusion.
Alice was also a little confused, and asked, "Do you know him?"
"I've met once, and it seems to be some manager of the Magi's Society. Leo replied truthfully.
Alice thought for a moment and said, "After all, it's a member of the Magi's Society, so why don't you go over and meet first, and then talk about this private financing later." ”
............
Inside the Palazzo Evra Lounge.
Leo bowed and asked the man in front of him, "Hello, Mr. Alvin, how did you know I was here?"
Alvin replied with some embarrassment: "Hehe, I'm really sorry, in order to find you, I had to use some special methods of the Magire, I hope you can understand." ”
"Are you looking for me......" Leo became more and more puzzled, in the vast Gaswell, even if the Magire Society wanted to find himself accurately, I am afraid it would never be so easy, what was he going to do?
On the way here, Alvin had already thought of his rhetoric, so he got straight to the point: "I read your published paper, which is very groundbreaking, and has been unanimously praised by the Magi's Council. I'm here to announce something to you on behalf of the Council of Magias and our President Redwin. ”
Under Leo's inquiring gaze, he continued: "We have decided to give you a reissue of academic points and award you the Rising Star Award. I hope you will be able to go to the headquarters in five days, hold a paper briefing session, and give an acceptance speech. ”
Of course, this matter is not for Alvin to decide, in fact, after meeting with the general director Redwing, the Council of Magicians convened an all-inclusive council before finally deciding on it. Of course, the big factor in awarding the award was Leo's paper, but there were other elements hidden in it.
"Rising Star Award?" Leo had never heard of this award, and his slightly cold attitude also made Alvin's heart tighten.
But what neither of them knew was that in another room, Alice, who was "eavesdropping", almost fell off her chair. As a level 3 mage and living in Gaswell all year round, she certainly understands how difficult it can be to win the Rising Star Award. Not only must they have very important academic achievements, but they must also receive most of the recognition, sometimes even for several years without awards, and the last winner, a level 8 mage from the Royal Academy of Magic of Calent, whose research project was to greatly improve a mana component, simplifying the drawing process by thirty percent, thus triggering a series of spells to cast more quickly.
