475 Don't dare to come near
Two thousand gold coins are a lot, and many big families with deep heritage can also get them, but the problem is that they have to scrape together, and they have to sell real estate, antiques, etc., so that they can't get two thousand gold coins in ten days and half a month. Reading at zero o'clock.
In essence, there are also many big families that can take out a large number of gold coins in one go, for example, Grinton took out thousands of gold coins in one go in order to promote to a legend, but that hollowed out the idle funds of Grinton's family, and also emptied Grinton's rare storage of nearly three hundred years.
Most humans don't even live for a hundred years, and half-elves have a lifespan of three hundred years.
Beta, a young lord who had not yet built the capital, told Amanda that they could get a few hundred more out of their two thousand gold coins if they were not enough.
Amanda has seen a lot of young talents, she doesn't support anyone, she doesn't support the wall, and now she serves Beta. People are good-looking, but strength is not counted, and now there is even so much money.
She sighed deeply, "With two thousand gold coins, we can buy at least about fifty percent of the weapons and armor on the market, but this is not an easy job, we have too few people, we need helpers." ”
"Then I'll give you a sum of money, and you're going to hire a caravan to help?" Beta thought for a moment and said.
Amanda shook her head and said: "It's still difficult, the time is too short, let's not talk about the run-in problem, whether you can trust them or not is another matter." If it's our own caravan, that's good. ”
Beta answered, "Then teleport them all." ”
"Teleportation magic can teleport so many people at once?" Amanda asked curiously.
Beta smiled: "It's okay to teleport a few more times, anyway, it's just a few dozen gold coins of material money." ”
"Material money ...... dozens of gold coins" Amanda muttered, she now finally has a certain understanding of her master's local tyrant, this is not the kind of nouveau riche like to show off his wealth, but a natural attitude towards gold coins as a tool.
On the other side, Joshua is so angry that he can't even eat dinner, and Julie serves his favorite veal, but still can't get him to work up his appetite.
At the thought of Beta's seemingly indifferent, but in fact treating him as an idiot, Joshua couldn't calm down at all. After dropping several cups, he took Julie and several guards with him and rode to his uncle's house in a carriage.
Because of his relationship, his uncle's connections have been greatly expanded recently, and now the business is booming, and he has also formed his own small force, and his cousin is also a professional, or his knight apprentice, and his combat power is good, so his uncle's family is in the city, and his reputation is also ranked high.
Seeing that it was the lord's carriage, the manor guards immediately opened the gate, and the carriage drove straight in, and a few minutes later, Joshua saw his uncle's butler in the living room.
"I'm really sorry, Lord of the City, the master and the two young masters, I went out to visit the guests and haven't come back yet. But I think it should be soon, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait for a while. ”
Joshua took a sip of fruit wine and asked, "Do you know where they went?" ”
The housekeeper shook his head: "The master and the two young masters visited different friends, and they didn't tell me about the itinerary, so I don't know." ”
Joshua waved the butler away, and he waited patiently as he drank the wine.
Not long after, he heard the iron door of the manor outside open and close in the living room, and after a while, the door of the living room was opened, and his cousin Rearden and his cousin Shaz walked in.
"I haven't ...... for a while" Joshua was about to say hello, and then looked at his two relatives with some suspicion: "Did I have a delusion, your strength doesn't seem to have changed." ”
The two brothers looked at each other, then nodded at the same time. The two of them sat down opposite Joshua, and Rearden looked at his cousin for a while, two or three days ago, Reilden always had a feeling of palpitations when he saw his cousin, because the other party's strength was much stronger than his own, but now when he saw his cousin again, he felt that his cousin was very weak, like a soft girl.
"Yes, City Lord, we have regained our own power." Rearden looked very serious, he knew what he meant when he said this: "Lord Beta is a good talker, he has not only given us new power, but even given us new power. ”
Shaz nodded.
Joshua's right index finger twitched slightly, and he asked expressionlessly, "New power, what kind of power?" ”
"My strength is shield mastery, and it's easier to use a shield and it's very practical. I'm just as agile when I block and defend with a heavy shield as I am with a light leather shield. Brother Shaz got a jump slash, and he ......"
"Don't talk about it." Joshua slapped the table gently, and although it was not loud, it made the atmosphere in the room stiffen suddenly: "Do you know what this means? I'm your relative, and you didn't even ask me to go to Beta to see if you took me to heart as a cousin. ”
Reilden didn't speak, but looked away, and at this point, it would be wrong to say too much. He wasn't afraid of Joshua, they regained their strength, and they didn't dare to say that they could compete with the City Lord's Mansion, but at least they wouldn't be bullied casually.
But Shaz didn't have such a good heart, and he said in a weird manner: "The city lord really treats us as cousins? When there is something, he directs our family to rush up, but we never get a point of benefit afterwards. How much our family has paid to get you to gain a foothold in the city of Sicilya, but you have never said a word of thanks. ”
"Your family has grown to the point where it is today, do you really think it is the result of your own efforts?" Joshua sneered: "If it weren't for the power of my Joshua, if it weren't for me in the city lord's town, would other forces be able to respect you and let you?" ”
Shazi was speechless for a moment, they had indeed relied on the momentum of the City Lord's Mansion to grow to the point where they are now.
Reilden looked at Joshua, who already had murderous intent in his eyes, and he said slowly: "A year ago, cousin, you were cursed and about to die, and it was your father who played a small trick to get Lord Beta to go to the manor to save you, and then Lord Beta became your teacher and pushed you to the position of city lord. ”
Joshua sneered, "Are you trying to say that if it weren't for my uncle's help, I'd be dead, right?" ”
"No, I just want to say that Your Excellency Beta is your life-saving benefactor, your teacher, and you have turned against him for such a great kindness." There was an undisguised sarcasm in Railden's eyes: "Father's little favor is definitely nothing in your eyes." We don't dare to be relatives with people like you, because we don't know when you stab us in the back, and we don't want to die in vain...... Joshua, you have changed, and we are afraid to be close to you, even afraid of you. ”。
