Don't call me evil god

Chapter 648: The Sin of Pride

"Sure enough!"

Pet was relieved when he heard Monger's casual invitation.

This was a situation they had anticipated in advance, and they had already planned how to deal with it.

A regretful and sorry expression appeared on his face.

"Thank you for your kindness, but you may not know that we have already promised Prince Fradin. He invited us to help him practice combat skills and accompany him in a few actual combat exercises, so we may not have time to stay here for a long time."

Pet keenly observed that Monger's expression showed a moment of astonishment.

Although the other party controlled it well and quickly covered up this emotion, it still revealed a moment of flaw.

Obviously, Monger did not expect that Pet and the others would be related to Prince Fradin.

This move caught him off guard.

Pete took out the gold deposit note from his arms, cut the Gordian knot, and got straight to the point:

"Sir, we are indeed very grateful for your kindness and support, but it is too wasteful to give us such a huge amount of money."

"We appreciate your kindness, but we are really unworthy of this money."

"You don't know that all the achievements we have made so far, whether it is to expand the territory outside the dangerous border or to eliminate and destroy the conspiracy planned by the cultists, are actually based on the joint efforts of us and our companions."

"With so many gold coins, we can't play its full value at all."

"If you really want to support us, would you like to...consider investing it in Ceylon, which has just experienced a dangerous and terrible disaster. The reconstruction process requires a lot of money everywhere. That is where money is really needed."

Rune Monger was obviously choked.

It is well known.

Munger's investment and industry are basically in the western part of the Kingdom of Reyak, and there are very few industries related to him in the eastern part.

The reason is simple, the economy in the eastern part of the kingdom is too bad!

Investing there is no different from poverty alleviation. You spend a lot of gold coins and work hard for a whole year, but in the end, you don’t make much money at all.

On the surface, no matter how small the mosquito leg is, it is still meat, and it is better to have income than not;

The problem is that the "investment environment" in the eastern region is too bad.

Every year when the monster red tide comes, because of the long-term habit in the past, those who can take refuge will basically run as far west as possible with their families.

The industry that was invested and built with great difficulty, the people who are responsible for the work, especially those who need technical positions, have all run away. How can this be done?

Moreover, if you are unlucky, you will be rushed into the workshop, warehouse and other places by the monsters that flowed in during the monster red tide, and you will lose all your money.

Ceylon Territory is even more severely affected by this phenomenon.

The risk is too high and the return is insufficient. Monger has nothing better to do before he chooses to invest there.

"Okay, okay," Rune Monger said helplessly, "It seems that I am old and inconsiderate, so you feel embarrassed to accept it."

"How about this, let's change the angle."

"His Majesty the King is planning to establish a special powerful army to maintain stability in the kingdom."

"I heard that he has invited you?"

Pate's heart trembled.

The real show is coming.

Acting skills are immediately full:

"Your Majesty did invite us, but... Hey! I'm really worried. With our level, can we really meet His Majesty's expectations?"

"I'm afraid of ruining His Majesty's high hopes."

Monger's face bloomed with a little smile: "Don't belittle yourselves, children."

"I have heard a lot about your deeds."

"Helped Harris's son stop the dangerous evil god's advent ceremony in Green Harbor;"

"Saved the entire Ceylon Territory for the beautiful Countess Frigga Ceylon;"

"And got along well with the dwarves in the stone fort. The news has spread to the capital. You are now the best friends recognized by those stubborn dwarves."

"Don't look at your young age. Others may not be able to complete even one or two of the things you have done in their lifetime."

"Maybe I should consider donating some gold coins to the action corps that is about to be established. Maybe that will make you more confident?"

Pate looked embarrassed, leaned back slightly, and waved his hands to refuse.

"Oh! Please don't say that, it will put more pressure on us!"

Pet remembered clearly that when Reina eavesdropped outside the banquet hall, Marquis Madison said in person that Rune Monger did not support the establishment of the Action Corps, and he would even use the method of no longer donating gold coins to the royal family to put pressure on him.

It is obviously a problem for such a guy to say "I support you to accept the appointment of His Majesty the King" in person.

Run Monger grinned: "Child, pressure can sometimes become a driving force."

"For example, I can feel that I am becoming more and more powerless in the past few years. The older I get, the faster my body ages. Maybe one day the God of Wealth will call me to His Kingdom of God."

"But I still want to enjoy a better life here."

"No one will feel bored with such a day, right?"

"For this, I will definitely try various methods."

"I am not afraid of making mistakes, I am only afraid that I don't have enough time."

"You are still young, time is very tolerant to you. Sometimes, you don't have to worry so much, just do it boldly."

"Your Majesty, I and many people in this kingdom will support you behind the scenes. We believe that you have enough ability."

"Otherwise, why would His Majesty Kenreddin identify you as heroes of the kingdom instead of others?"

"It must be because you are qualified for this honor."

Pet was a little absent-minded.

Obviously, he had prepared himself mentally before coming. No matter what benefits Monger was going to promise them, he would treat them as sugar-coated bullets, not believe, not agree, and not accept!

But the other party really acted like a kind old man in his 90s, earnestly imparting his life experience to young people, and praising and encouraging them?

Not to mention, the other party's praise was indeed very appropriate.

He did not praise the achievements of Pete and others, but the abilities required to achieve these achievements.

Pete felt as if something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

"Come, try this, secret recipe juice, I believe you will like its taste."

"Let's drink to your honor."

Until Rune Monger smiled and asked the waiter to send three glasses of transparent "Monger's special juice" to Pete and the others, Pete was shocked and alert.

He turned his head and glanced at Miranda and Lancelot calmly.

The [Sin: Pride] state is flashing a dazzling red light!
