Chapter 350 Father-in-law and son-in-law pay tribute to you (3/3)
Chapter 350 Father-in-law and son-in-law salute you (33)
Night, half past nine.
The inner residence of Thunder Castle, the Duke's private study.
St. Drances, the Duke of Storms, was sitting behind a large desk, holding his forehead with one hand and tapping the tabletop gently with the other, making soft sounds.
The dignified Duke of the First Realm, commanding the six major cities in the East, and the great lord of nearly 40 million mortals, could not afford a mere 2.8 million crowns, and was blocked by creditors every day.
This is the most ridiculous thing in the world.
But then again, those finance ministers under his command are really bastards. They only tell themselves good news and no bad news, and yet they hide the fact that they owe such a large sum of money to themselves.
"It's so damned!"
Delances couldn't help but curse again, feeling that his entire life's face had been lost in the past few days.
The Langley family said they were willing to raise money for him, which would alleviate the financial crisis in Raging Waves City, but they coveted their own daughter, which made him feel like selling his daughter to pay off his debts.
How could he, the mighty Duke of Storms, sell his daughter to pay off his debt?
Isn't this what farmers do?
But having said that, 30 million crowns is indeed not a small amount of money, and the daughter will eventually get married, so who should she marry?
Just as he was running through various thoughts in his mind, there was a gentle knock on the door.
‘Tuk-tuk-tuk~~’
The daughter's voice came from outside the door: "Father, can I come in?"
"Jia Li? Why are you here so late? Why don't you go to bed soon?!"
Heya Jiali opened the door and walked into the study directly: "My father can't sleep, and my daughter can't sleep either. I just want to have a good chat with my father about my daughter's marriage."
Hearing this, Delances frowned slightly.
"Of course I'll worry about this. Just focus on learning magic. You brought someone here?"
Heya Jiali closed the door and cast a powerful silence barrier to envelope the room.
At the same time, the body of a young man gradually appeared in the air, it was Rosen.
Rosen had seen the Duke in a photo, and he recognized him immediately, and he bowed respectfully.
"Your Excellency, the Golden Baron of the Crescent Territory and the God-given Earl of the Flying Fish Islands, Rosen Philander, salutes you."
Initially, Delances was a little angry when he saw his daughter bringing a strange young man into the study room in the middle of the night, but when he heard the identity of the other person, 90% of his anger dissipated, and a smile appeared on his face.
"It turns out to be the young Master Liushu. Why did you come to see me quietly at night?"
During this time, Rosen had been carefully observing the Duke's expression.
His brows were frowning unconsciously, and there was a trace of undisguised exhaustion on his face, so he knew that the other person must be under a lot of pressure.
Under such great pressure, he was able to suppress his anger and smile immediately after meeting him, which showed that he indeed respected the mage very much.
In addition, he did not fall out when he was pressed for debt by the president of the Mage Guild, but instead found a way to collect money to repay the debt, which indirectly proves this point.
In short, you can be more arrogant in front of the other party.
So, he said directly: "Your Excellency, I heard Carrie talk about the debt crisis of Thunder Castle, so I want to share your worries."
Upon hearing this, Delances' eyebrows jumped and he frowned: "Can you also call her Carrie?"
He felt that this young man was a little ignorant. Even though he was a Golden Baron, his territory was so huge, so he had no right to be on an equal footing with him.
Rosen smiled faintly: "Your Excellency, actually, I came here to ask you for Princess Carrie."
"What?!"
Delances was shocked and his eyes widened with anger. He stood up and stared at Rosen for a while before calming down a little.
"Baron, I hope you know what you are talking about?!"
"You have such a small territory, Feiyu Islands, I gave it to you. You still have a wife in the north, what qualifications do you have to marry my daughter?"
Rosen asked, "Aren't people from the East allowed to have multiple wives?"
Delances laughed in anger and was too lazy to say anything. He raised his hand and pointed at the study door.
"Get out of here, stay in your Feiyu Islands, and never come to my Raging Wave City!"
This reaction made Rosen's heart move again.
"Good guy, I've gone so far, and you just drove me away. This Duke may have other character flaws, but his endurance skills are really good."
If he were to sit on the Duke's throne, if anyone dared to speak to him like this, the guards would have thrown him out.
So, he stayed in place motionless.
"Your Excellency, I love Carrie very much. I hope you can agree to our marriage. I will definitely do my best to help you build a large floating city."
When he heard the first half of the sentence, the Duke had an angry sneer on his face, but after hearing the word 'Great Floating City', his sneer paused.
He snorted coldly: "Without you, a master of Liushu, I could still build a large floating city!"
Rosen shook his head: "Your Majesty Duke, you may be able to find someone to build a floating city with a diameter of 100 or even 200 square meters, but if you want to build a large floating city with a diameter of more than one square meter, you can only come to me. "
The Duke was shocked when he heard this: "A floating city with a diameter of one meter, young man, do you really dare to think about it?!"
But he didn't say anything to drive Rosen away.
Rosen had an idea and cast a small mirror technique, carefully describing the shape of the floating city.
"Look, Duke, I can make the floating city so big. If it floats above Raging Waves City, it will truly block out the sky and the sun, and its aura alone can scare people to death."
The large floating city in the mirror image is very fine and full of details, which makes people feel that it is real at first sight, and under the large floating city is what the Raging Waves City looks like. When the two sides are compared, it becomes more real.
The Storm Duke stared unblinkingly for a while, and finally sighed softly, with a trace of regret on his face.
"It's a nice thing, but it must be very expensive. I'm afraid I won't be able to build it."
One look at his appearance, Rosen knew that the Duke was a ronin, the kind of ronin who didn't have much ability but liked to do big things.
When he has no money, he can still keep his character. Once he has money, he can fly to the sky immediately.
The reason for this is that one is due to nature, and the other is that he was looked down upon by others before he came to the throne, which left a knot in his heart.
Considering that this is the Eastern Territory where magic is prosperous, and the Duke is a warrior, I am afraid he has been ridiculed a lot because of his identity.
He also has a feeling that the currently exposed gap of 2.8 million is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
The real financial gap may be a very, very alarming number.
With his current ability, it is definitely far beyond what he can fill.
If you want to be able to afford it, you have to work hard for more than ten years.
But if he doesn't fill it out now, the Duke will definitely find someone who can, and Carrie will have to get married.
How to do it?
Rosen gritted his teeth and used a dangerous move.
He said softly: "Duke, let me tell you the truth, when we were in the imperial capital, Jiali and I were already together."
The Duke was immersed in the fantasy of the floating city. He was startled when he heard this: "Together. What do you mean?"
Rosen took Heyajiali's hand and said, "We have become a real couple."
"What?!"
Delances roared and felt a rush of blood rushing into his brain. He stood up suddenly. Because he stood so fast, his vision went dark and he almost fainted on the spot.
He supported the table with both hands and breathed for a long time before he regained his composure and stared at his favorite daughter with a pair of blood-red eyes.
"Tell me, is this true?"
Heya Jiali had never seen her father look like this before. She was a little scared for a moment, so she hid behind Rosen and said in a voice like a mosquito: "I really love the master, and I don't care whether he marries a wife."
"You shameless slut!"
Delances grabbed a book on the table and threw it at his daughter.
The book was very thick, and the corners were inlaid with gold. When it flew out with a roar, Drancis regretted it in his heart.
"Oops, you used too much force."
He is a great warrior, but his daughter is only a high-level mage, so he might hurt her.
As a result, the book flew halfway, suddenly stretched out a hand, caught the book in the air, and then shook it slightly, letting the book float back to the desk.
Rosen smiled faintly: "Father-in-law, don't get excited."
After experiencing the initial psychological shock, Delances calmed down a little and looked at Rosen gritting his teeth: "Shut up, I'm not your father-in-law!"
He really wanted to send this guy to the guillotine, but what happened had already happened. Even if he killed this guy to vent his hatred, his daughter's virginity would not be restored.
30 million kronor, just gone.
Rosen reached out and took Heya Galli's hand, and this action made the veins on Delances' forehead jump. What made him even more angry was that his daughter didn't refuse at all, and even snuggled into the other person's arms!
"Ignorant of etiquette! No shame! Heya Jiali, from now on, you are not."
As soon as the words reached his throat, he was stopped by Rosen's loud shout: "Father-in-law, be careful what you say!"
Delances took a deep breath and swallowed the words that rushed to his lips. His face was livid, and he turned to look at Rosen.
"Boy, go back to the Crescent Territory. I want to take back the Flying Fish Islands!"
"If you don't leave, I will kill you!"
Rosen was secretly relieved and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"This guy can really endure it. He can even endure this and not do anything. Then if I do something more extreme, will he be able to endure it too?"
Of course, from the current point of view, it has almost reached the extreme. If you take one step further, you will be seeking death.
So, he softened his attitude and gave a sweet date: "Father-in-law, son-in-law, I will help you pay for the debt of 2.8 million kronor."
Delances was startled, and the anger that was about to burst out stopped.
"How can you, a little lord, get so much money?"
Rosen smiled slightly and immediately started bragging about the cake.
"Father-in-law, although my Crescent Collar is small, I have many workshops."
"A produced microscope sells for an average of 6,000 kronor, and high-end ones can sell for more than 10,000. I have sold more than 500 units so far."
It is true that more than 500 units were sold, but as the quantity increased, the unit price dropped. High-end microscopes only accounted for one-tenth, and the average price was only 1,300 kronor.
"In addition, I have also developed many precision optical glass instruments. A complete set is sold for 3,000 kronor. More than 1,000 people have placed orders with me, and 100 sets have been delivered so far."
Indeed, 100 sets of goods were delivered, but there were not 1,000 reservations, only 400 in fact.
"Then, temples from all over the world came to me to customize the new weapons produced by me in the Crescent Territory. I made millions of crowns in the past few months."
The profits of this business are very low. The trade volume is millions of crowns, but only more than 200,000 crowns are earned.
"Finally, I just sold the second prince an extraordinary flying magic weapon that can fly at the fastest speed of 2.4 times the speed of sound. The prince gave me 2 million crowns in one breath."
This is true, but this is a one-time deal.
In the future, if Zhongjing can build his own aircraft, he won't buy one from him, at least he won't spend so much money on it.
In short, Rosen exaggerated his earning power by a large margin.
His crescent collar business currently has a stable annual trade volume of 2.2 million kronor and a profit of 800,000.
He was half-truthful and half-false, directly blowing it up to 6 million.
He bet that the Duke would not investigate and had no ability to investigate.
Even if experts are sent to investigate, it will not be clear for a while, because the business of Crescent Territory is all over the golden land.
Because he completely understood that this Duke was a prodigal who only knew how to spend money to show off, but didn't know how to make money through business.
He doesn't have much ability.
Sure enough, when he said this, Delances was a little shocked, but a little unbelievable.
"How can you, a little Crescent Collar, be so powerful?"
His annual financial income of Nutao City is only 11 million kronor. Unexpectedly, the income of a small Crescent City could reach half of that of Nutao City.
It’s incredible just thinking about it.
Rosen shrugged: "Father-in-law, I never tell lies. I have already brought the money anyway. If you need it, I can give it to you right away."
"I also dare to say that when I run the Feiyu Islands, I will definitely make many times more money than I do now. If Carrie marries me, she will never be treated badly at all."
There was a hint of heartbeat on the Duke's face, but also some disbelief.
"Can you really run that crappy place on Feiyu Islands?"
Rosen smiled slightly: "Father-in-law, the Crescent Territory is also a shabby place, much worse than the Islands."
The Duke nodded in approval.
This is also true, and the son-in-law in front of me... bah ~ what kind of son-in-law? In short, although this guy is a bastard, his talent is indeed very rare.
Reputation, talent in magic, business ability, etc., are all great assets. If he doesn't have a wife, it would be feasible to marry his daughter to him.
But he got a wife, ruined his daughter's innocence in advance, and then used this matter to blackmail himself, and all his thirty million crowns were wiped out in one go.
It made him feel that there was an unspeakable anger in his heart.
So he remained silent, neither saying yes nor no.
Of course Rosen could see the Duke's anger. Anyone would be angry about this.
He immediately reassured: "Father-in-law, when I develop the territory, I will fully support you. I support whatever you want to do, and I will use all my intelligence to help you achieve your goals."
"Not only do you not have to worry about money, you also don't have to worry about talents, spells, and resources. Leave them all to my son-in-law, who can help you solve them all."
After saying this, Delances became even more excited.
He looked at his daughter: "Is everything he said true?"
Heya Jiali nodded.
"Of course it's true. Moreover, my brother took a five-day math class at the Golden Academy of Arts and earned 400,000 kronor from the course fees alone. The wisdom vine that enlightens the door of wisdom was used for my brother for five days in a row. "
Delances frowned when he heard this: "He is only 17 years old. How old are you? What is your name, brother?"
Rosen chuckled: "Father-in-law, it's okay, I like to hear it."
Delances wanted to get angry again, but in the end he endured it and asked: "This is your first flying magic weapon. It is normal to sell it at a high price. When you build more in the future, can you still sell it at such a high price?"
Rosen shook his head: "Actually, I am the only one who knows how to create a flying magic weapon. And I assert that even if someone else knows how to build it, the magic weapon I build will definitely be the best and most powerful!"
"If my father-in-law is willing to marry Jiali to me, then if anyone else wants to buy the best flying magic weapon in the world, they can only order it from your father-in-law. How much you can earn from one aircraft will be decided by your father-in-law."
Drances was very moved.
When he thought about the land of gold, the best and fastest flying magic weapon was sold in the East, and the person who made the magic weapon was his son-in-law, he felt secretly happy!
This is much more enjoyable than marrying your daughter to Yoragon.
Although Yuragon is also an outstanding person, his light is not as bright as Rosen's.
When Rosen saw his expression, he knew that the Duke was almost going to get through this level.
He continued: "Father-in-law, you must have heard about the floating star plan I proposed, right?"
"Yes, I have heard of it, and I also admit that this is an amazing plan, even more amazing than the Great Floating City."
Rosen immediately said: "Just think about it, if we in the Eastern Region can be the first mortal to be sent to the moon, what will people in other realms think of you?"
"This is a supreme achievement that even the Golden God has achieved!"
Delances was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes widened. He didn't know why, but he felt that he was defiled in front of him. Bah bah~~ This young son-in-law became very pleasing to the eye.
No matter how you look at it, it pleases your eyes.
After a pause, he finally relented: "I can marry Carrie to you, but I must separate from your other wives and never let them stay in the same bed as my daughter."
"Absolutely not."
"What about the money to fill the hole?"
"On my flying magic weapon, I brought a total of 3 million crowns this time. It was originally a gift to my father-in-law."
"I didn't expect that my father-in-law would also need it. It seems that God specially lent me my hand to give this money to my father-in-law, the Son of God."
In fact, he brought 4.5 million, but his Feiyu Islands also cost money.
Delances felt very comfortable in his heart, and he became more and more pleased with Rosen, and he just thought that whatever he saw was good.
"Everything else about you is fine, but you shouldn't be secretly with Carrie."
Rosen immediately said: "Father-in-law, I really admire Her Majesty Jiali's peerless beauty. When I first saw her, I thought she was the goddess of my dreams. I couldn't restrain myself and made a big mistake. I ask my father-in-law to forgive me." .”
Drances was very satisfied with Rosen's attitude of admitting his mistake.
"It's not a big mistake. Young people are passionate. When they see the girl they love, they naturally want to be with her. But before the actual wedding, this matter must not be spread."
"Don't worry, father-in-law, it won't happen!"
"Also, you can't marry my daughter directly now."
"Because you have no achievements in my eastern territory, if you marry my daughter as soon as you come here, other city lords will definitely be dissatisfied, especially Baisha City, and I am afraid they will alienate me from Raging Wave City."
Rosen immediately said: "Father-in-law, give me one year."
"In one year, I will build a floating city with a diameter of 50 centimeters, and then drive the floating city filled with generous marriage gifts to propose to you!"
Drances was very satisfied with this plan: "Then I will give you one year."
He turned to look at his daughter again, his expression softening.
"Jia Li, the husband you chose is not bad! But if you want to satisfy me, you have to keep working hard."
The second half of the sentence was addressed to Rosen.
Rosen smiled slightly and was about to say a few nice words when the study door was knocked again and a gentle voice came from outside the door.
"Honey, it's very late, aren't you still asleep?"
"Oh~Gira~I'll be right away."
Drancys shouted but didn't hear a response, and then he remembered that his daughter had set up a silence barrier in the house.
‘Click~’
The door opened, and a beautiful woman walked in. Her appearance was very similar to Heya Jiali, but compared to the slightly green Heya Jiali, she looked much more mature.
She had a luxurious manner and a graceful expression, but because she was in a warm inner house, she only wore a thin silk pajamas.
The silk is smooth and clearly outlines the exquisite figure, giving off an indescribable but particularly sultry sense of charm.
Needless to say, this is the Duchess.
Rosen took one look, immediately lowered his head to the ground and remained silent.
The Duchess was surprised when she saw someone outside, and immediately closed the door and left: "My dear, what is going on?"
"It's nothing serious. I will explain it to you carefully later. You go to bed first."
This is just an insignificant episode.
Delances then said to Rosen: "Okay, that's all for today."
"Jia Li, arrange for your husband to rest. You can be with him, but you must not be discovered by outsiders, let alone get pregnant. Do you understand?!"
Now that things are like this, he doesn't bother to care anymore.
Heya Jiali was overjoyed: "Yes, father, I remember."
"Okay, it's time for me to rest."
Then, he opened the door and left. The voices outside the door gradually faded away, but it was the Duke explaining the whole story to his wife.
In the study, Heya Jiali happily hugged Rosen and gave him a big kiss: "Brother, you are so amazing!"
Rosen smiled slightly: "It's just so so, the more powerful ones are yet to come."
But I sighed secretly in my heart.
"The cow has been blown away, but it is easy to brag. Let the cow that has been blown up to the sky fall smoothly to the ground, that is the real test."
It can also be expected that the Duchess still has a hurdle to pass.
And that's the real rub.
Serious notification!
Let me make it clear that the values of this book are positive and uplifting, and there will never be any plot that violates human ethics in the text.
