When Jenny Galloping met Lant for the first time, she was neither particularly surprised nor too disappointed. In her opinion, the young knights and mages in front of her were the more ordinary children of large families: they had reached high levels at a young age, and they were obviously very arrogant, but they were approachable.
Jenny, who used the mermaid charm but was not very successful, secretly thought in her heart: "Let me see how good you are and how rich you, the owner of Yeqi City, are."
"Count Lant, this time I came here on behalf of my father, the Marquis of Fiat, just to see if there is anything in Yeqi City that our family can help with," Jenny said with a sweet voice and took out the space ring in her hand. I bought several magic-sealing boxes. "My father also asked me to bring you some gifts."
A box of magic potions, a set of magic pattern armor that can be used at the beach, and a small box of magic books and magic pattern jewelry. These are the gifts that Jenny has invested all her belongings into. These gifts are always available in the market for 6,000 gold coins. of. She hoped that such a gift would impress the lord across the street and allow him to open an opportunity for her family and gain a higher status in Yeqi City.
However, the girl didn't see a hint of greed on the man's face. Instead, he calmly took out three boxes and opened them while saying, "Just in time, I also have some here that you can bring to the Marquis of Fiat." of."
A galloping horse wine set, a set of galloping knight captain's armor, and a set of 16 pieces of magic pattern amber jewelry. When Jenny carefully checked the magic patterns on these three boxes, she discovered that Lant had deliberately taken out the items based on her gifts. Three similar but more expensive gifts came out.
Especially the 16 pieces of magic-patterned amber jewelry. Although he also included a valuable mid-level car headband among his gifts, it was still a little thin compared to a complete set of magic jewelry.
The more she looked at Lant's gift, the more worried Jenny became. The other person's intention was very clear, that he didn't want to take advantage of her, and that when they met in the future, they would just recognize each other as relatives, and it would be fine if they didn't owe each other anything.
After reading all the gifts, the girl found that Lant had taken out a very delicate bottle. The palm-sized glass bottle had a galloping horse logo on it, and it looked like there were a lot of magic patterns on it.
Lant handed the bottle to Jenny and introduced: "This is our latest product-skin cream. You can use it as a magic potion for external application. The potion is extracted from two kinds of magic fungi and mixed with long-haired sheep." Fat can very well moisturize and protect the body’s magic lines.”
"Moisturizing?" Jenny took the glass bottle and discovered that there was a small piece of amber with magic patterns embedded in the bottle. The amber exuded a touch of water magic, which made the girl who was fed up with turbulence and dryness immediately feel... I feel a lot better.
In fact, Lant had no idea about skin care products. It was only after Kay mentioned that her magic pattern needed maintenance that Lant and Halkara tried to make a few models together. However, Wendy and others couldn't recommend anything about moisturizing cream. Opinion.
Seeing Jenny's interested look in front of him, Lant knew that he had sent it to the right person: "You can give it a try and give us some advice. Most of the people in my territory are local children and have no feeling about moisturizing."
After twisting open the bottle, you can immediately smell a faint floral fragrance. The girl tried pouring some on her hands and smeared it on the water magic lines on her cheeks. She immediately felt refreshed as if she had returned to the seaside.
Jenny closed her eyes and enjoyed it for a moment before she began to comment: "I have to say, it is really an amazing potion, but can I suggest you make the magic pattern effect on the bottle more prominent, so that the water magician can use the bottle itself as a A magic trinket to carry with you."
"You mean, it's similar to essential oils, right?" Lant nodded, "Thank you very much for your suggestion. I knew you would be able to give professional advice."
After the battle, the two of them fell into a brief silence. Jenny is a latecomer who can adapt to different situations. She understands that the lord in front of her has a good card: recovering Yeqi City, relying on the Fairy Queen, and fighting against the orcs. And to win the victory, convert the barbarians to the God Emperor, any one of them is much more reliable than their family running the Galloping Horse family but defecting to the sea monster, controlling the Galloping Horse Fund, shouting to fight back to the Galloping Horse Plains but building warships every year. .
So Jenny was eager to let Lant speak first. She would understand Lant's thoughts, and then she would take advantage of the situation and let the two families bridge the misunderstanding. However, the Lant in front of him was obviously a latecomer. After both of them were silent, she, as the one who took the initiative to ask for a meeting, had to speak first.
"Sir, I know you have heard some rumors about my family, and you also know something about the various organizations and composition of the Galloping Horse Fund." After a brief thought, Jenny decided to say the most practical things, "I don't know if you are willing to know. Could you please tell me the accounts of the Galloping Horse Fund?"
"I moved back several boxes of ledgers from the Imperial Capital," Lant said with a smile. They were moved back one after another in the name of the Yeqi City Finance Department and Halkara.
"It's not the accounts on the surface, it's the detailed accounts of our family and the Galloping Horse Fund. I wonder if Mr. Lant would be interested in hearing it?" Jenny looked at Lant with a smile, and when he nodded, she began to recite. stand up.
"From the year 725 of the God Emperor, when the world was at peace, His Majesty took back all the war bonds held by the Benma family, to the formation of the Benma Fund in 730, the fund has been running for 272 years. In the year when the fund was established, the Imperial Finance Department allocated 200,000 Gold coins invested in the family's 12 magic workshops. In the next five years, they invested another 350,000 gold coins to support another 40 workshops. This total of 52 workshops is the source of the current prosperity of the Galloping Horse family. Last year alone was the 996th year of the God Emperor. One year, all the magic workshops of the Benma family will pay a share of 750,000 gold coins to the Benma Fund, of which the Southeast Kingdom will pay a share of 520,000 gold coins."
Having said this, the girl asked Lant, "Does this match up with some of the data you saw?"
Seeing Lant nodding gently, 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 and essential items for public facilities. The water magic pattern board, the water healing scroll, and the cultivation of 6 types of magic shells.”
"I can understand Mr. Lant's feelings about the Galloping Fund, and I can also understand your desire to use the Galloping Fund for the construction of Galloping Plain. However, I must remind you that the fund that seems to be extremely valuable to outsiders is actually The flexible funds that can be withdrawn are very limited, and the subsidies distributed to each Mercedes-Benz family every year are entirely maintained by the encouragement of our Fiat family."
