The king didn't know what Geer was thinking, and he couldn't predict what would happen in the future. He could only speak anxiously:

"Those two Devil Fruits, if you like them, can be regarded as a small gift from the Drum Kingdom and me, but this money is life money saved by all of us in the country through frugality and hard work. , is heavenly gold to be handed over to the World Government. If you take this money away directly, all of us will suffer, so please show mercy and give the people of the Drum Kingdom a way to live!"

The king lowered his head and prayed sincerely.

"It turns out it’s gold from the sky that’s meant to provide those rubbish with their enjoyment. When you say that, I want to take it away even more."

"Your Mightiness..."

The king was in despair

"Get up first. As a king, you are willing to kneel down for the sake of the people. I agree with you. We can discuss it carefully if you have anything to say, but continuing to speak on your knees will not make it easier to convince me than standing up."

Ger said in a calm tone.

After hearing this, the king suddenly felt that the person in front of him was not a heinous bad guy. At least he could communicate and discuss. He slowly stood up from the ground, his mind was spinning rapidly, and then he spoke again. :

"Your Excellency, how about you see if this works? This money is yours now, but for the sake of common people, can you please lend this money to us in the Drum Kingdom to pay the heavenly gold? I can stamp and sign it.

I'm writing an IOU, and the interest is calculated at an annual interest rate of 5%.

After that, we will spend a fixed amount of money from the fiscal revenue every year to repay you.

In the name of the king, I promise you that it will be paid back within 5 years.

What do you think of this plan?"

Gerr's eyes widened in surprise.

Is this okay? The installment loan has been arranged for you. You are really a talent.

Things are divided into priorities. The king is now only thinking about how to hand over the gold in the sky on time. Other issues are You can drag it back.

Seeing that the other party didn't let go, he gritted his teeth and prepared to add more chips.

After thinking about it carefully, he said:

"Forget it, for the sake of the innocent people, I will do as you say, but there is a condition attached. I will take away two princes as hostages to prevent you from holding back the money until the time comes. When will you pay back the money, and when will your son come back to reunite with you?"

Gerr thought that he had already obtained the devil fruit he wanted. These hundreds of millions are insignificant to him. In the end, he would just do another good deed and take away these two evils.

"Can! That’s it!"

The king immediately happily agreed! Fearing that Geer would regret it, he immediately signed and stamped the IOU and sent it to Geer.

Seeing that the king agreed to his conditions without hesitation, Geer was in a daze, right? ? Your character is not quite right. According to the script, you should be a father who seriously dotes on his children. How could you agree to hand over the two children so simply?

Although the king dotes on his children, he values them most. What the king wants is the country. He is a king first, and then a father!

What the king wants is that if he cannot pay the heavenly gold, everyone will die, including himself and his two sons.

Now he has agreed.

The other party's condition is just to be hostages.

The other party will definitely not harm their lives in exchange for money.

Although they are a little reluctant, it is time for Mshuru and Wapol to make some contributions to this country!

It went very smoothly, the agreement was signed, the proton was handed in, the good guys went to the end, and the Buddha was sent to the West.

In a daze, Geer also spent 200 million beli worth of treasure to help the king fill the gap of the two devil fruits.

Until he was sent out of the castle gate with a smile by the king and the guards, Geer stood at the gate and looked at the 1 billion Bailey IOU in his hand. He felt a little confused.

He looked at the two princes in Weibull's hand and still couldn't think about it. I understand what went wrong, but I feel like I'm at a bit of a disadvantage.

"You two bastards must be so annoying! Even your father regards you two as trouble and wishes I could take you away as soon as possible!"

Ger vented his anger and punched Wapol and Mshuru each on the head!

"ah! It hurts!"×2

"You bastard, you dare to insult the prince like this, I must make you look good"

"Bang!"

"Wow, I was wrong, don't fight again."

Ger punched him unceremoniously, and the two naughty boys Wapol and Musulu became a little more honest.

They didn't expect that when they woke up, they would change from a noble prince to a hostage at the mercy of others. Realizing that the situation was stronger than the others, the two noble princes could only shrink their necks, no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. Hilton looked quietly at the white snow under the moonlight. trance

"Father, you are still injured on your leg. Go back to your room and lie down to rest."

Dalton stood behind and urged anxiously.

"A little injury doesn't matter, let me stay outside for a while."

Hilton said without looking back.

Dalton knew his father's temper, so he didn't try to persuade him. He just stood quietly with him.

He had just woken up not long ago, and he didn't know how things developed during the period when he was unconscious. When I woke up, I only heard that the king had reached a settlement with the enemy. As for the details, the king did not tell me, and no one else dared to ask.

The castle was captured by three people. Something like this happened today that I didn't even dare to dream about. , Now all the guards in the royal city are dejected and their morale is low.

Although Dalton is young, he also knows that if the enemy can suppress everything by force, there is no need to give up the vested interests and choose peace. It must be because the enemy cannot. He easily eliminated his father, who was the strongest warrior in the kingdom, but he was afraid that if it took too long, the navy would support him, so he was forced to retreat and choose peace as the next best option.

"Father, you must have fought with the enemy, right? Was it you who forced them back? Dalton still couldn't help but ask, his tone full of expectation and pride.

But his words were like white breath exhaled from his mouth, floating in the cold wind, and it seemed that nothing reached Hilton's ears. , he still looked into the distance quietly.

Dalton didn't wait for his father's reply. When he turned around to look, he saw a glimmer of crystal falling from his father's cheek, dripping on the ground, turning the snow into a small hole.

"Father? you..."

Dalton was a little unbelievable.

In his mind, the image of his father has always been so tall, majestic, serious and extremely powerful! He has never seen his father show such an expression!

Dalton was stunned for a moment, and his whole body seemed to be frozen in place. He didn't know what to say, or whether he should comfort him.

Hilton no longer kept secrets, turned around with tears streaming down his face, looked at his stunned son and said seriously:

"Then, Dalton! Work hard to become stronger! The strongest warrior in the kingdom shouldn't be a useless loser like me! From now on, you will defend this name!"

"Father!..."

"I see! Don't worry! I swear to prove that the strongest warrior in the kingdom is not a waste!"

Dalton clenched his fists and agreed.

"good! Remember what you said today, this is an agreement between men!"

Hilton patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then limped towards the house.

Dalton looked at his father's leaving back. At this moment, he felt that he had grown up, and he was taller than before. The stalwart father seems to be old, even his back looks a little rickety....
