Chapter 166: Departure Again
Eastern Coast Headquarters of the Southern Wizarding Alliance. Ministry of Finance, in the conference room.
"What do you think of Baron Marven's huge loan application in the White River Valley this time?"
One of the councillors asked in a low voice.
The other four were silent.
After a while, someone sneered and said, "Ten thousand wizard gold coins? Since the establishment of the alliance, no such huge loan has been issued, right? ”
"What does he vouch for?"
The first member of parliament to speak was a woman, the Minister of Finance, and her name was O'Connor.
She glanced at the sarcastic man and said, "Mr. Peter, if you haven't read the assessment report, don't talk nonsense, okay?" ”
Peter was speechless.
At this time, at the conference table, everyone has a thin document in front of them.
These are an evaluation of the development potential of the Marvin people and the White River Valley.
The Southern Wizards Alliance is also very strict when issuing loans, and it has been reviewed by special people.
"As far as I know, Baron Marven's territory does not have enough short-term solvency, but in this war, Baron Marven has successfully opened up the wilderness."
"He wiped out an entire tribe of ogres, and it is said that there are still legendary ogres among them."
"And on Baron Marven's side, we found a lot of old acquaintances."
Before O'Connor could finish his words, Peter's exclamation was heard:
"How is that possible!"
He held the document in his hand, looked at the familiar names, and couldn't help but mutter: "Demon Hunter Konstantin ......"
"Elven Warrior Saint Eevee ......"
"And that loner O'Brien?"
Peter swallowed: "Please tell me, this information is fake, right?" ”
The rest looked at him with idiot eyes.
They were silent before. It was also because I was shocked by the names of several people in the information. They wondered what kind of person they were. To bring together so many powerful people.
Not to mention that as mentioned on the previous pages of the information, Marven seems to have united with several other legendary powerhouses. Eliminated the Crimson Patriarch, who even Lord Anthony had no chance to kill.
There is no doubt that, judging from this report alone, Baron Marvin is a person with great potential for development.
Oh no, after this wild exploration battle, the alliance is already preparing to grant the title of Viscount Marven, and the corresponding rewards are also being prepared.
The Southern Wizards Alliance has always encouraged capable nobles to expand their lands outwards - not like those northerners, who like to fight around on a piece of territory, fighting for a little bit of resources. They would rather make enemies with each other for generations than take steps into the unknown wilderness.
It's just that what caught the alliance a little off guard was that Marven's reward hadn't been issued yet, and this guy came to take out a loan.
The number of loans is still unprecedented!
10,000 Wizard Coins!
That's the equivalent of 10 million silver coins!
This amount is equivalent to half of the annual lending target of the Finance Department of the Eastern Headquarters of the Southern Wizarding Alliance!
If they allocate this money to Marven and the rest of the territory borrows money from them, it will be overstretched.
From this point of view, Marven's request is really a bit ridiculous.
However, outright rejection doesn't seem to be a good option either.
Because what Marven wrote on his loan application was very exciting.
10,000 gold coins. Half a year to return. Collateral, two gold mines.
After the end of the wilderness exploration campaign, Marven immediately found someone to explore the ore veins in the belly of the Ogre Mountain.
He was overjoyed with the results.
According to my father's notes, there was a gold mine there. However, this was not the case. Not one, but two!
The two veins are parallel to each other and do not interfere with each other. One south and one north. Marven gave the Silver Church the right of first refusal to mine one of the gold mines as part of the deal, but the ownership of the gold mines. Or his own.
According to the survey report, the two gold mines can be mined at a certain intensity. It will take about 20 years to fully mine it.
The overall value adds up to more than 60,000 wizard gold coins.
It was the emergence of these two gold mines that made the people in the alliance's finance department a little dilemma.
Minister O'Connor has sent someone to verify that there is nothing wrong with Marvin's survey report. No one would have imagined that such a treasure would be hidden near a savage place like the Screaming Mountains. But there was no way around it now, and the mountain, along with the coast over there, became Marven's private property.
Moreover, his Wild Frontier Order is still in effect, and as long as he continues to pioneer within half a year, the effect of the Wilderness Frontier Order will continue to continue.
God knows what this ambitious young man will do.
In the eyes of the top level of the alliance, Marven is a very potential lord who deserves to be supported and cultivated.
Coupled with the fact that his long-term solvency is still very strong, there seems to be no hidden danger in lending this money.
But after all, the number is too large, so the finance department needs to hold this meeting.
……
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone must have learned about the White River Valley by now." O'Connor looked at everyone and said, "Let's vote now." ”
"By the way, if you're worried about the guarantee, an hour ago, Lord Hathaway from the Third Ring Tower got word that she was willing to vouch for Marven's debt in her own name. It's just that time is in a hurry, and she hasn't had time to officially submit a guarantee, but Lord Hathaway's credibility is impeccable. ”
After O'Connor finished speaking, he took the lead in saying, "I agree to the granting of this loan." ”
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
Even Peter, who was sarcastic at first, shrugged his shoulders: "Agreed." ”
Only the last man, who was silent for a while, sighed and said, "Abstain." ”
Everyone looked at him with a slight sympathy.
This guy is from the unicorn family, and they have also heard a little about the small grievances between the unicorn family and Marven.
It is said that the unicorn is preparing to clean up Marven. As a result, the primeval red dragon Earl was wiped out.
Today's unicorn family has long since fallen apart, as the only remaining members of the fruitful family. Although this lord is in a high position in the Southern Wizarding Alliance, he can't cause too much trouble for Marven.
Four to zero. Perfect pass guò.
Half an hour later, Perch Harbor, in the lobby of the Eastern Office of the Southern Wizarding Alliance.
"Congratulations, Miss Anna, Baron Marven's application has been approved."
O'Connor personally handed a copy of the document to Anna, and then looked behind her: "Now all you need is Baron Marven to show his Baron Medal and sign it." ”
Anna took out a medallion and smiled, "He didn't come, but I brought the medal." ”
"No problem, right?"
O'Connor was stunned for a moment. For such an important matter, you actually asked a housekeeper to come over and do it?
She couldn't help but ask, "Then where is Baron Marven now?" ”
"He'......" Anna said helplessly as she signed, "I don't know either." ”
Lola behind her nodded and said:
"Lord Marven is notoriously fond of running around, and after assigning us a lot of tasks, he slipped away."
……
That's right, as Lola said, Marven left the territory again after completing the planning of the territory and assigning long-term and short-term tasks to everyone.
This time. His direction was to the west, and he didn't take anyone but Isabel with him.
Being a lord is not actually his forte, he knows at most a little basic management knowledge. But how to quickly build a strong territory, he basically only has a general idea.
It was at this time that Daniela showed an amazing talent.
Marven was relieved to hand over the construction of the territory to her. Of course. In Marvin's absence, the ultimate acting lord was Pooh.
Loans in Riverbeach City are simple. All it takes is a letter, and Medirli will obediently deliver everything and money.
After all, the sixth page of the Book of Naru was still in her possession. She's still in the process of enlightenment.
Before she was promoted to Legend, Hathaway could take back the Book of Naru at any time, and she didn't dare not do it.
As for the matter of borrowing money from the Southern Wizarding Alliance, he thought about it again and again, and left it to Anna to do.
With such a large amount of money, he is not at ease with the rest of the people. Only the housekeeper who has been silently supporting him behind his back can make Marven feel at ease.
As for Lola, she was sent by him to procure supplies and slaves.
He has officially appointed Lola as the treasurer of the White River Valley, primarily responsible for procurement and financial budgeting; The real financial power is still in Anna's hands.
Daniela is mainly responsible for the construction of the territory, and does not care about the rest.
However, her saving zài can be regarded as an insurance policy for the White River Valley after Marven left.
Although there are dark guards guarding the current White River Valley all the time, if you encounter a strong person, there is no way to contend with it.
After all, Constantine and O'Brien left the White River Valley one after another. The former is because of the corpse of the red dragon - in the south, there seems to be no butcher who knows how to dismember the dragon, and in order to maximize the value, Konstantin is ready to go out to find an old acquaintance himself. That guy is said to have dissected more than three dragons by hand, and has a lot of experience.
Fortunately, there will be no problem with the corpse of the red dragon in the thousand paper cranes, as for the dragon blood bath, Marven once asked Konstantin for advice, and was reprimanded by the latter as a tyrannical thing.
Every part of dragon's blood can make a good potion for bathing, although it can improve certain attributes, but the cost performance is too low.
After Marven found out, he also decided to wait for the butcher to arrive, and at the same time asked Konstantin to pay attention to help recruit some master-level potions alchemists.
In addition to this, Ievee follows Anna and Lola north to Perch Harbor in order to ensure the safety of the funds.
And the rest of the territory is going on in an orderly manner.
……
Three days later, Marven took Isabel and climbed the westernmost hill of the Dead Hills northwest of Riverbeach City.
In front of them, there was a vast desert.
Sage Desert.
"Let's go, we still have a long way to go."
Marven exhaled and took the lead down the mountain.
