Ride and Cut

"I feel that this gemstone is so deep!" A certain money-worshiping businessman stared at it tightly, reluctant to blink, "It seems to be able to see the bottomless abyss and the whole world, as if immersed in it."

"You are purely hypnotizing yourself, I don't think it is any different from ordinary white crystals." Li Cha rolled his eyes at Annie, completely disdainful.

"My lord, how much storage space does this have?" This kind of novelty is still very attractive, and even Hurt couldn't help asking.

"Length, width and height are double-edged, not too small. Unfortunately, the size doesn't seem suitable, as if it was designed for women." Li Cha tried for a long time, but he couldn't put this ring on even the slender little finger.

He didn't dare to use too much force, and he wouldn't cry if he broke it. Dali can definitely produce miracles, but it's hard to say whether the miracles are good or bad.

"Even the royal family has enough treasures like the secret crystal of the Sibeth space in stock. Of course, I can only find you a ready-made one." The old white tiger looked calm, with a very knowledgeable posture, and he didn't know where his confidence came from.

"Let me see." Annie stretched out her hand to ask.

"Be careful, there are a total of 600,000 gold coins in it. You have to quickly empty them out later, and it's not a problem to always put them in the ring." The lord put the ring on her palm.

The half-elf chick is much slender than Li Cha, and it fits effortlessly on her index finger.

"Anyway, you can't wear it, why don't you use it for me." Annie looked at it over and over again, and said happily.

The clear crystal with colorful lights is very appetizing to her, especially when she thinks that it is full of gold, she likes it more and more. "Now I am in charge of the entire logistics of the Alpine Fort. It will be much more convenient to have a space ring for transit."

"Are you alright~ Li Cha~" Two dimples appeared on her cheeks, and the honey in her voice was sweet enough to kill bees.

"You're thinking about farting!" The lord snatched it back viciously, and rolled his eyes, "I can't wear it, so why don't I get a chain to hang around my neck?"

Annie's chest heaved violently in anger, and she gritted her teeth.

"By the way, I'm so stupid. There's something I forgot to tell you." Buckland slapped his forehead with regret, "Since the news came back that you defeated two dragonriders in San Jose, there are many noble families who want to send their second son to you as an apprentice knight. I haven't replied yet, you see?"

"Apprentice knight?" Li Cha was taken aback.

Nowadays, it is very popular among Pompeian nobles to send their second sons to the homes of other nobles they are familiar with. The second sons without inheritance rights will live in the teacher's house and learn everything related to martial arts and war, so as to find a way out when they grow up.

He already knew this, the mode was nothing unusual, it was a high-end apprenticeship.

But even if it is self-evaluation, the lord feels that he really has no confidence to teach apprentices.

"It's good to be able to find my background. It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to learn something." Buckland knew that he must know nothing about it, so he explained patiently: "It's just that you are famous now. With this reputation, you will be easier to mix in the future."

"Ah!" The old white tiger sighed, "It's absurd to say, these little fellows who haven't even met as apprentices, many of them are accompanied by a team of regular knight followers, and their backgrounds are not usually luxurious."

"Then...this..." The lord rubbed his thumb on his index finger and middle finger, and there seemed to be something shining in his eyes, "How about the tuition fee?"

"You're so rich, yet so stingy..." Annie held a grudge, and seized the opportunity to sarcastically say something.

"Don't forget to pay for the equipment fee, food fee, and festival fee." Li Cha chuckled.

The half-elf fell silent.

It's well known in Alpine Castle—Anne guards the treasury, just like a dragon guards its own treasure, which is a typical example of only entering and not leaving. If you take in a gold coin, you will be overjoyed, but if you take out a gold coin, you will be tossing and turning in pain.

It's definitely safe to hand over the money to her, but it's a bit difficult to get it back.

"There is no tuition fee, and you have to take care of their food and drink. During this period, they will be your attendants." Buckland blinked his eyes twice, "But it will be beneficial if the apprentice knights can get ahead in the future."

"No, I'm not interested in taking children, let them go...wait." Li Cha grabbed the stubble on his chin, pondered for a long time, and asked an irrelevant question, "How fast is the speed of catching trolls recently?"

"It's getting slower and slower." Although Buckland didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, he still answered truthfully: "The giant monsters in the surrounding area have almost been captured, and those farther away are troublesome. Now there are a total of 174 giant monsters."

"You tell those children and their families who want to come to trainees." The lord stretched out two fingers and shook, "It's fine, but the condition is that everyone must bring me ten... no, twenty giant monsters back."

"Why do you want so many trolls?" Buckland was really surprised. "They are all real rice buckets. Do you know that the price of food has been rising this spring?"

"Li Cha never cared about money, so how could he know how precious gold coins are?" Annie roughly calculated the upcoming expenditure, and the corner of her mouth immediately curled up, unable to be happy anymore.

"I'll get it back first, I'll have a way to feed them." The lord stood up from his chair and said as he walked, "In a few days, General Seedorf and a kid named Higuain will come. The elder remembers to entertain them."

"En." The old white tiger was still worried about the troll's rations, so he answered without further words.

For this kind of trivial matter, he can do it with his eyes closed, and there is no need for him to tell him.

"Is the general here to look for us?" Vera had been sitting near the door reading scriptures silently, but when she heard Seedorf's name, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She and Berna, the two unlucky ones, have lived a completely different life of house arrest since they were detained by the lord of the Alpine Fort on the grounds of secrecy.

Berner got along fairly well in the Alpine Fort. He hooked up with a group of soldiers every day, and he felt a little bit of fun in it. He even went out to patrol with him today.

But Vera, as an orthodox clergy member of the Church of the Holy Light, can only describe her life in Alpine Fort as doing nothing.

Almost everyone here is an unbeliever - the original beliefs of the people have been cleaned up by Richard. And they don't believe in preaching at all-in the eyes of these rural thugs, since their lords don't believe in this god, it's enough to show that it's useless.

Vera had little to do except chatting with Anne now and then. Day and night I look forward to the day when I will be free again.

"No, he's here to accompany you in the dormitory." The lord smiled gloatingly.

"What are you going to do?" Buckland asked towards his receding figure.

"Go to the New World and ask Chief Saitos something."
