Chapter 13: Small Goals (2)(1/2)
When Jones got home that day, he wrote the letter. Because he was anxious, he wrote all the letters to everyone at once.
"Will they lend it to Lord Jones?" Dora murmured in a low voice: "100,000 gold coins are a lot of money. I heard that Miss Elin's entire Principality of Beshire only earns 50,000 gold coins a year, but this is not a matter of eliminating the expenses."
"Do you have to borrow or not to know if you borrow it? Anyway, if you want to borrow a few more, there will always be someone who will agree, right?" Jones replied expressionlessly.
Dora declined to comment on this.
In any case, you have to wait until the next day to send a letter. After all, the night is about to end soon.
Jones's house cannot see the sun all year round, but there is sunshine on the way to deliver the letter. You can't let Dora deliver the letter with the sun, right? Or let Jones deliver the letter with the sun?
In fact, Jones really wanted to do this, but unfortunately, he could fly at night and could only walk in armor during the day. In the end, his speed would probably not be much faster. Let's forget it.
This "night", Jones couldn't sleep and became more and more excited as he thought about it.
"I'm about to have a castle of my own and a territory of my own. Well, I have to form a blood clan legion, which is like what a great blood clan lord should do. I feel that my life has finally returned to normal."
As he thought about it, for the first time in his life... he had insomnia.
No matter what, he finally survived the sunset.
Jones said to Dora excitedly: "Tell them the letter, let them reply, and come back quickly."
"But, what if Dora goes to deliver the letter, Guya?" Dora looked at Guya who looked at them.
"It's okay, go. Am I there?"
"But today is the Brotherhood party day, did Lord Jones forget?"
Jones was stunned for a moment, quickly wrote a letter, and handed it to Dora: "You go to Hilde and help me ask for leave from Adal."
Dora hesitated and nodded in the end.
"Do you know how to deliver a letter?"
"Isn't it okay to fly over?"
"No, no, they are scattered in several places. If you look for one by one, you will definitely not be able to come back today. Even if you don't look for one by one, you won't be able to come back. Time is probably enough for you to go there. So, you should find Catherine and Vivian to help you. Or you can also find Richie's guardian angels and induce demons. They are not afraid of the sun."
Pussed his lips and frowning, Dora nodded heavily, then turned into a bat and flew away.
Seeing Dora's figure go away, until she disappeared into the horizon, Jones slowly breathed, then looked at Gu Ya on the side and took out the book "Barbarian Language".
"Do you want to go out for a walk? The weather is so good today, let's go out for a walk!"
Guya looked at Jones in a little confused, then nodded heavily.
Do you think Jones would stay at home and take care of Guya? It's too naive. When doing serious business! How could Jones stay at home in this situation?
Turning into a bat, Jones flew towards Hield with Guya. Guya was so scared that she kept screaming.
There was no way, so Jones had to use cloth to cover Guya's eyes and fly a little lower. Despite this, Guya still screamed all the way. However, this could not stop Jones from preparing for buying the castle.
You asked if you took a leave and went to Hilde, what if Adale found out?
Oh, Jones, who was so stubborn, never thought about this problem. Or he didn't care about this problem at all.
"Follow me, don't run around, otherwise you may be caught and continue to be a slave?" Jones said to Guya's translation with "Barbarian Language".
Gu Ya was still confused, but she nodded heavily.
After arriving at Hilde, the first thing that must be to solve the problem of gold transportation. Jones went straight to the bank.
In Hilde, the most profitable business is not just about buying and selling slaves, but also about banks. The not-so-large Hilde has three banks in total. Compared with the messy slave trade market, the bank has a very decent construction of white walls and dome structures, and two shorter auxiliary buildings are on both sides. In addition, there are 180 zombie guards outside the door, and sometimes some elves archers stand on the roof.
Almost all banks look like this.
Jones walked into the house casually.
The teller in the lobby was a group of goblins: "You want to solve the problem of gold transportation? Well, this is too simple. In fact, this is our main business. The blood clan lords generally have a large amount of overseas assets. We can arrange for you to exchange with customers who want to send the money to the corresponding location for exchange. You don't even need to know who the other party is. Of course, we have to charge a little handling fee, usually 10%. "
"Is this called a little bit?"
"Yes, it's very rare. You need to understand that what we do is business on the whole continent, and external advertising can be exchanged for money from anywhere. But in fact... you should understand that we cannot find exchange objects anywhere. Sometimes we still need to move a little and transport it. Merchant ships filled with armor raise the flag of the blood clan, and most pirates will not be interested. But if it is gold coins... the transportation of large amounts of gold coins is risky after all."
"Okay, I know. I want to make an appointment with the Kingdom of Isaac, the Principal of Bert, the Kingdom of Allen, the Kingdom of Fedes, the Principal of Eden, the Kingdom of Beves..."
"Wait, you seem to have clicked the whole south."
"Isn't it possible?" Jones looked at the goblin through the counter expressionlessly.
"Uh...yes. Of course, it's OK. Let me state in advance that we will not accept exchanges of less than one thousand gold coins because it is not profitable. How much do you want to exchange for?"
"Hundreds of thousands of gold coins."
"Every location is 100,000?" the goblin exclaimed.
"No, a total of 100,000." Jones corrected: "The key is that I don't know where I will get it from now. After all, I'm not sure who will lend me 100,000 gold coins. So I had to make an appointment all."
The goblin looked at Jones expressionlessly.
Jones also looked at the goblins expressionlessly.
"It sounds like a joke."
"No, I'm not kidding."
"Then... please wait until you find out who is willing to lend you money before coming. Next!"
Jones was politely sent out of the bank.
However, no matter what, the matter is determined and can be handled. The handling fee is a bit expensive.
"If I think about it this way, I have to borrow 110,000, otherwise the handling fee will not be enough. Well...what will do next? I have to find where to buy a castle. Hey, hello, do you know where to buy a castle?"
Jones grabbed a blood clan freeman who had walked by. The blood clan freeman was stunned for a moment, and then pointed to the place where Jones had just come out.
"Well... it's the bank again."
...
Through the counter, it was the goblin again.
He looked at Jones with a blank expression: "Have you thought it through?"
"No, not yet, I'm here to ask for another question."
“What’s the problem?”
"I want to buy a castle. Do you have any castle here?"
The goblin doubtfully pulled out a few pieces of paper from a stack of information next to him: "Yes, what kind of castle do you want to buy?"
"Uh..." Jones thought for a while and said, "I don't know how to describe it. It must be a castle first."
"Of course, the castles we sell are all castles. They won't be thatched huts or something." The goblin silently lit a cigarette, smoking and looking at Jones.
Jones said seriously: "Then it's cheap enough, just as it's cheap enough!"
"We sell very cheaply." The goblin pulled out a piece of paper and handed it over: "This is the cheapest castle here. It only has 20,000 gold coins, facing the sea. As soon as the sun rises, you can enjoy the first ray of sunshine."
"But I am a blood clan."
"That's a pity, but it doesn't matter, you can still enjoy the beach at night."
"Wait, it says that the castle of high tide will be submerged at night."
"But you can fish, right?"
"And then I smell fishy every day?"
"Uh... OK, I understand, you want a castle that will not be flooded at night."
“Isn’t this the most normal requirement?”
"Okay, then please take a look at this. It only costs 40,000 gold coins, and it is a huge scale, so you can enjoy the snow all year round."
"No, I can't ask for this. This place doesn't even grow grass and has almost no output. I can't pay it back."
"Well...you mean there is still output?"
"Not needed?"
"Then please take a look at this. The plains are 160,000, and they are located in a very rich place. If you farm with zombies, you will lose harvest only four years every five years. There are also large areas of woods and mines around."
“Will you lose your harvest in four years?”
"Yes, you have to know that this is the Colin Peninsula. It's already very good."
"No, this is too expensive. Are there any castles that are about 100,000 gold coins, slightly normal? It's like my family."
“What is your home like?”
"Just, it looks very ordinary. It's a normal castle."
"Ahem!" The goblin scratched his head helplessly: "Please describe the various elements of your castle accurately? Otherwise I can't judge."
"The sun is almost gone all year round, and even on sunny days, there is no sunshine. There are two mineral veins, surrounded by woods, but most of them are dead trees..."
When he walked out of the bank, Jones finally knew how poor his family was.
Yes, very poor.
He looked down at the drawings in his hand and introduced the castle.
