Chapter 116: Departure
Early the next morning, Bernard's appointed housekeeper arrived.
This is a middle-aged man in his forties, of medium stature, with a loyal face, but there is often a fine light in the blink of an eye, and he should be a shrewd person.
"Lord Rollin, my name is Cannado, the servant of Count Leondona, and my young master asked me to help you." He saluted Rollin respectfully, then took out a small stack of golden paper coupons from his arms, held them in both hands and handed them to Rollin.
"The gold coupon of the Morning Songbird Bank, with which you can go to the bank and withdraw 8,000 gold coins."
There are also banks in this world, which function similarly to the earth, but they are still in a primitive stage, and their customers are limited to a few nobles and wealthy merchants, and have nothing to do with the common people. Depositing money in such a primitive bank, instead of interest, has to pay a custodian fee to the bank.
Rollin had seen this thing in the game in his previous life, and he also knew that the Morning Songbird Bank was the most secure bank in Vendôme, and the backer behind it was the lord, so he was not surprised, and took the gold coupon and put it away.
The magic coat of arms on the gold ticket, the specific markings, including the texture of the paper, are very special, extremely difficult to imitate, it is easy to determine the authenticity, and of course what Bernard gave is the real thing.
"There are two thousand gold coins on the carriage, which are cash." Cannado added, his voice so low that it was barely audible to those who were a little farther away.
Rollin nodded, feeling quite satisfied, the gold coupon was delivered together with the cash, Bernard was very thoughtful, but he still didn't think enough, or rather, he didn't have the courage to do so.
This 10,000 gold coins, except for some spare money, he was not ready to take it to the territory at all.
Just then, another carriage drove up. When they got closer, the carriage door opened, revealing the merchants Holmlin and Davi.
Holmlin was dressed in a round flat top hat and a navy blue gown (the color used by those with a knighthood). He also held a cane in his hand, a pair of reading glasses connected by a thin gold chain on his chest, and a half-cut gold chain exposed in his pocket, which was his pocket watch.
In short, anyone who sees the present Homlin. can be seen at a glance that this is an upper-class person with status, wealth, and taste.
As for Dai Wei, she was wearing a floral blue and white dress, and her hair was curly a lot. At first glance, she was a pampered rich lady, but she also held a short-handled staff inlaid with azure crystals in her hand, and her eyes were focused, completely devoid of the fluttering of ordinary young women. The combination of the two, exquisite beauty reflects tenacity and perseverance, and under the golden morning light, it looks extremely charming.
Not to mention the people around him, even Luo Lin was unconsciously stunned. Then there was a look of appreciation, and he smiled heartily: "Welcome, Mr. Homlin." Welcome. Miss Dai Wei. ”
Homlin's expression was still pale, and he nodded in return. Dai Wei was as gentle as ever, and smiled: "Rollin, you are always so energetic. ”
When Rollin looked at her, she looked at Rollin.
He was wearing a full set of demonic steel battle armor and holding a helmet in one hand. Just stand there and talk to people. With a single gesture and a foot, you can lightly make people feel his abundant vitality. One mouth speaks, and the voice is loud and pleasant. If you listen carefully, it seems to have a hint of hard metal. His words can make people feel warm, but at the same time, they also contain an indescribable tough taste, which makes people dare not offend lightly, if you have to describe it with an image, it is like ...... The sun, warm and untouchable.
"Haha, because I'm happy in my heart." Rollin smiled, he had set his goal in advance, the power of cohesion was getting bigger and bigger, and Vianna was getting closer and closer to him, and he was really happy.
When the people present heard this, they all self-righteously understood that it meant another thing, that he became a hereditary lord at a young age, and that it was indeed a great joy for him to be a young man, and then think about himself...... I'm ashamed.
Among them, Homlin felt the deepest, he was envious in his heart, but he couldn't get used to Luo Lin's appearance, he couldn't help it, and snorted coldly: "Humility is a virtue, young man." ”
He is Dai Wei's father, of course Rollin will not bother with him, only smiled: "I remember, thank you for reminding." Ah, you're here just in time...... ~ This is a gold coupon of 8,000 gold coins. ”
Rollin directly handed over the gold ticket that Cannado had given him to Homerin. This voucher is a piece of waste paper in a remote territory, and it can only be really used if it stays in Vendôme, and from the beginning, Rollin was ready to ask the money to be handed over to Homlin as payment.
Homlin was stunned, and he didn't understand what was going on for a while, but his eyes were already involuntarily attracted by the stack of small golden pieces of paper in front of him, as a big businessman, of course he knew the value of this thing, and the stack in front of him was eight thousand gold coins, even for him, it was a huge amount of money.
"What do you mean by that?" He couldn't help but ask.
"I already said yesterday that I need materials to build the territory, and this is my payment."
Canado, who was on the side, couldn't stand it, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Excellency, if it is the payment for the goods, it is reasonable to prepay part of it." ”
This can prevent the other party from cheating, cheating, or even defaulting on the debt.
Homlin has been in business all his life, of course he knows the rules, but if the other party is willing to pay the full payment at once, he is also very willing to accept it, because his business is at a low point now, and the living money of 8,000 gold coins can bring him back to life at once, and seize some opportunities that he couldn't grasp to make a lot of money!
However, he is a businessman who talks about rules, and he doesn't want to be looked down upon for this small bargain, although he thinks very much in his heart, he still shakes his head: "No, according to the rules, you only need to pay 3o% of the payment." ”
Rollin smiled and shook his head: "No, no, no, you're a businessman, but I'm not, I don't like these rules, I like to do things happily." ”
He beckoned to the servant on Homlin's side, and his demeanor was natural, but the other party involuntarily walked up, and then Rollin handed him the golden voucher and motioned for the other party to take it with his eyes.
The servant instinctively wanted to stretch out his hand, but he was only surprised when he reached halfway, and hurriedly stopped, turned his head and glanced at Homlin, who still hadn't resisted the temptation, and he was in dire need of funds now, so he nodded slightly. Only then did the servant dare to take it.
"Take this money, when I get to the territory and understand the specific situation, I will send you a list of specific supplies I need, and you can buy them for me as ordered. No matter what method is used, as long as the materials can be delivered on time. ”
That's as it should be, and Holmlin nodded in agreement.
Luo Lin looked at Dai Wei again: "Then Dai Wei, do you think we still need to prepare anything?" ”
Because of what happened before, Dai Wei was very happy that Luo Lin trusted her and her father, and said happily: "Oh. Come to think of it, I think we should hire some mercenary guards or something, you know, it's not a smooth road right now. ”
"Well, you have a point. That's what I thought......"
This side. Rollin and Dai Wei began to discuss the details, and the two would laugh out loud from time to time, and they were very tacit.
Holmlin stood aside and looked at the golden ticket in the servant's hand, feeling very complicated in his heart, with a trace of gratitude, but under thinking about it, there was even more awe.
Because of my daughter's business. He hated this young man very much, but what the other party was doing now seemed to be extremely bold. If it's ugly, it's bold.
But after pondering the pros and cons, Homlin realized that the other party was not rash at all, because they were separated from his daughter Dai Wei.
As Dai Wei's father, he must do this with all his heart, and all the previous methods of stealing and playing tricks cannot be used, and it is also because of Dai Wei. The other party can decisively hand over the gold coupon to himself in advance, even if he Homlin loses money. If you fail to complete the other party's task, the other party will probably not pursue it. But the problem is that in this way, his daughter Dai Wei owes the other party's boss a favor, and she will only follow the other party more desperately.
10,000 gold coins in exchange for a mage's loyalty, this transaction is really worth it.
After thoroughly weighing the pros and cons of Rollin's approach, Homlin took a closer look at Rollin, who was still talking to his daughter.
His demeanor looks very honest and enthusiastic, these expressions are not pretended like most people in high society, he is natural, when he looks at his daughter, his eyes reveal his inner appreciation, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Homlin thought back to Luo Lin's previous move to give him the golden coupon, and what he showed in his demeanor was also a natural trust, without pretentiousness, so that he, an old businessman who had been in business for a long time and read countless people, did not have the slightest resistance, and naturally acted according to the will of the other party.
It's a gift, a talent for leadership that may not even be aware of the young man, who has an incomparably resilient will!
Homlin was shocked, he suddenly realized, he was wrong, it was not that the other party was not worthy of his daughter, the fact was that her daughter had been in a weak position, and was unconsciously being dominated by the other party, and was slowly sinking into it.
"This Rollin has extraordinary talents, his future achievements are unpredictable, and a hereditary lord will never be the end of his achievements!"
Khomlin figured out that as a father, he probably didn't have the ability to interfere in his daughter's affairs, because his opponent was far beyond the limit of his ability, but if his daughter continued along this path, it was hard to say what she would gain in the future.
Just when Homlin was full of sorrow, another plain-looking carriage drove over, and when it got closer, the carriage stopped, the window opened a gap, and a jade hand gently reached out, holding a delicate package with a rich magical light, and a soft voice came out: "Take it, it's for you." ”
After speaking, his hand was flicked lightly, and the package flew towards Luo Lin.
Luo Lin quickly took it, then half-knelt on the ground, and said solemnly: "Thank you for the gift of Master *." ”
He knew it was a magic package, and although it looked small, it definitely contained an outrageous amount of content. And Vianna came over in person, in addition to giving him the package, he may not have the intention of supporting him for the façade, so he directly called out her identity.
"It's nothing, after going to the Black Sea Cliffs, don't forget what you once said."
As he spoke, the carriage had turned around and sped away from the street, and by the time the last word sounded, the carriage had turned out of the interface and was gone.
But this is enough, several people at the gate of the small courtyard are already shocked, they are all human spirits, and they all recognize the identity of the * master in the carriage. This Luo Lin, can get the * master Vianna so favored, it's hard to think about it!
For a while, everyone looked at his gaze with awe and envy.
Only Rollin remained awake, he knew what Vianna meant, she didn't want to indulge in power and wealth, and become a mere mortal who did nothing.
For his part, he remembered what he said to Horn that night: "I hope that one day my name will be sung by the bards as legendary heroes." (To be continued) R655
