At noon on the 20th, the entrance hall of the harem of Padmila Palace. This hall of thousands of square meters was originally a place where members of the inner and outer courts of the Galloping Horse Royal Family communicated. It was now occupied by crowds.
In the center of the hall, several people were sitting on luxurious seats, looking at the busy crowd in front of them. They were the two brothers Huck, Albert and Lant.
Opposite the members of the Benma family is Little Red Bird, who organized the financial management of the harem. As the assistant to the governor of Yeqi City, she stands in the center of everyone, commanding the knights and demon-free ones.
"Everyone, listen up. Each team will follow its leading knight. After entering the room, all patterned items must not be touched. All texts, secretaries, and papers must not be turned. All tasks are waiting for the mage to confirm. It can only be done after that. Inside is the harem of Yeqi City. If anyone dares to hide the slightest thing secretly after taking the courage of the monster, I, as a magician personally promoted by Queen Padmilla, will definitely kill him first!" There was majesty in the little red bird's voice, and even Huck Galloping Horse next to her was shocked by what she said. However, she is now a senior mage, and is currently the highest-level human under Lant in the territory. People dare to question.
"One group follows Master Wendy, the second group follows Master Lili, the third group follows Jonny, the fourth group follows Sophia, the fifth group of Fireflies, the sixth group of Kai, the seven groups of Rain Lings, the eight groups of Misty Lings, the nine groups of Autumn Grass, and the ten groups "Assemble a small hilt." The leaders read out by the little cardinal have all entered the territory since the salt mine period, or have inspired blood in the territory and become apprentices with magic patterns. They are all the most loyal to the territory and can also distinguish magic items. people.
After arranging the mage, the little cardinal began to arrange the knights: "Knight Danico, you are leading 4 transport teams outside the palace, ready to assist each team in transporting supplies; Knight Tierney, please bring the knights and the royal capital. The support teams that came over are stationed outside the palace gates; Dogtooth Knights, you are leading the Wind Wolf Knights outside the city. If they need help, they will most likely open the window and call your people."
As teams of people began to move in an orderly manner, the hall became quite empty, and the little cardinal began to arrange the remaining people: "Brenna, you and the housekeepers will collect the statistics of each team at the door of each floor. , every time you complete the statistics of a room, put a note outside a room; Cole, take the knights and auxiliary soldiers to be on guard outside the areas where the statistics have not been completed, and don't let people wander; Ji Ling? Are you awake, sir?"
"No, Lord Nila said, she will sue me as soon as she wakes up." The girl named Ji Ling shook her head.
"Have you come down from the top of the mountain?"
"No, there's no movement up there."
Albert looked at the little red bird in front of him with a heavy expression, almost unrecognizable. This was the girl who followed Nila half a year ago.
After the little red bird finished arranging everyone, she ran to the entrance of the harem and waited for the financial list to be sent out. According to her request, others who had not completed the taping were temporarily not allowed to enter the room.
"Albert? What are you looking at?" Huck could see Albert's inner displeasure and tugged at his brother's clothes.
"I think that even if we are counting the items, we should let our own family lead the team. Can these girls complete it?" Albert whispered to Huck, "It's better now, so we can all be blocked." At the door, this palace is the wealth of the Benma family."
"Land has its own rules here. Don't always talk about the Galloping Horse family. According to what you said, that Fiat has to come over to share a piece of it." Huck now visits the royal capital frequently. For Lant, he appoints professional bureaucrats. On the contrary, I admired his skill very much, "Besides, can you clearly calculate such a large family fortune? Anyway, I can't calculate it clearly. If you don't let someone who can calculate it clearly, won't you be even more confused in the future?"
Alexei and Beifen returned to the imperial capital before 2 pm. Only Ben went to visit Lant, who was still in bed. After hearing that Ben was coming down, Albert also came after hearing the news.
"Young man, don't always stay up late. You work like this every night. One night you faced Yuyue, and the next night you went to the magic furnace by yourself. How are you going to work tonight? Find an ancient god to transfer to the Kingdom of God. One turn?"
Lant smiled awkwardly and kept apologizing to Ben, but in his heart he was thinking, "That certain fox must be happy."
"Lant, the most important thing now is for the members of the Benma family to return to the Benma Plain as soon as possible. Otherwise, where will you find people to resist the army of the Orc Royal Court?" Albert was very anxious about the current situation.
"You're not in such a hurry," Lant smiled bitterly. In his heart, he didn't want his relatives to come over and take advantage. "I'll welcome back the executive committee and secretariat of the Galloping Horse Fund in two days."
"But aren't the secretariat and executive committee members of the Fiat family?"
"I don't need their people, I just need to pay back the debt," Lant said casually, "Whether their family is a descendant of the Galloping Horse Royal Family, I have to check it in the royal family's genealogy. Who knows what happened back then? Where are the royal family’s secrets?”
"Lant, your idea is a bit dangerous." Looking at his nephew's confident smile, big beads of sweat formed on Albert's head.
"You will find a breakthrough, but let me remind you, no one is watching at home, and the sea monster really dares to come along the river to find you." Ben knew that Lant must have been reminded by someone, since he knew everyone in the imperial capital, That's probably the dragon's nobles. Such a move can indeed regain control of the Galloping Horse Fund, but it also completely offends Fiat. Once Rand really dares to do this, it is estimated that the journey from Galloping Horse to the Imperial Capital will always have to pass through Dragon Tooth City to be safe.
…
In the upper area of the harem on Padmilla Hill, Wendy finally found the living and living area that belonged to the king. In a huge study, she found a hidden compartment, and then emptied the knights and auxiliaries who were following her, and asked Lant to come over by herself.
However, in the small cubicle, Lant saw corridors and stairs. Finally, Lant finally found a private storage room, where he discovered the story of the Galloping Horse family from the ancient human empire to the second destruction of the country 300 years ago. Large amounts of notes stored. Most of them are stocks, bonds, and extremely secret contracts, and there are even certificates of transactions with the fallen demons.
But what shocked Lant the most was an IOU that was due in the year 709 of the God Emperor. Under the witness of the Goddess of Commerce, the borrower should repay a loan of nearly 1.5 million gold coins to the royal family of the Galloping Horse Kingdom, with an annual interest rate of only 1 %.
"The Orc King's Court actually borrowed such a sum of money from the Galloping Horse Family? Will they destroy the country if they can't pay it back?" Lant looked at the still valid IOU, "So now the Orc King's Court has to pay me back 2634.18 Ten thousand gold coins?”
Rand calculated it and realized that the money would be enough for the orcs to directly kill the Tower of Purity. "Otherwise, I will sell this bond to the Tower of Purity, which will just take out the Galloping Horse Fund, and let them do the rest." The two families can fight directly."
