Atram decided to help Mocado. Faced with such enthusiasm, Mocado found it difficult to refuse and could only express his gratitude again and again.

Then Mercado took Atram and Mike to his territory.

According to the distance, if the three of them ride horses, it will take about two days.

However, Atram and Mike both have magic motorcycles, which are ten times faster than riding horses, and can cover a distance of thousands of miles in only half a day.

Mocado sat on the back of Atlam's motorcycle and looked at the scenery passing by outside through the transparent glass, his eyes full of surprise.

I couldn't help but said: "This... was this thing made by the magic weapon master of the guild? It is really too fast!"

"No, it was invented by His Majesty the Emperor of the Orunian Empire. It's called the Magic Motorcycle. Its top speed can reach 500 miles per hour. It's not at its fastest yet."

Atlam introduced from the driver's seat.

"500 miles an hour, my God, this is terrible!" Mocado exclaimed.

"But its redemption price is not cheap either. To redeem one, you need 5 million points."

"Points?" Mocado looked confused.

Atram didn't say much, concentrating on driving his motorcycle.

Three hours later.

Not enough time in the morning.

According to Mocado's directions, his territory, Chiron Viscounty, arrived.

Chiron Viscounty has an area of ​​about 20 miles (about 300 square kilometers), with 1 fort, 2 towns and 33 villages. Because it is located at the bottom of a medium-sized basin, the terrain is low-lying and flat, with a lot of cultivated land and a high population density. There are a total of 50,000 residents. The remaining people.

It stands to reason that given the conditions of the Viscounty of Chillon, with its many people, land, and water (there is a 50-square-kilometer lake), "noble land" is the most appropriate description.

As a result, Lord Mocard owed a huge debt, so that if he wanted to repay the debt, he had to either use his territory as a mortgage to repay it; or he was willing to take risks and harm the interests of others to solve his own problems.

"Mocado, you said that you owe the Duke 5 million bushels of pearls, but in the best years of harvest, your territory only generates 50,000 bushels of pearls. Isn't 5 million equivalent to 100 years of your territory? Harvest? Do you have to ensure a bumper harvest every year?"

"Yes." Mocado nodded.

"Uncle Mocardo, your fiefdom's harvest is not much to begin with, why did you borrow so much money?" Mike asked at the side.

"I borrowed 50,000 bushels of pearls in two installments at high interest rates. However, due to floods for three consecutive years, I couldn't repay the debt for two consecutive years. The interest rolled up month by month, and it ended up accumulating to 5 million. "

"The Duke said that my territory is worth about 10 million bushels of pearls. He counts it as 10 million. If I repay his debt this year, the Duke will take away my territory."

Mercado explained.

Atram was dumbfounded: "Tsk, tsk, in two years, 50,000 has turned into 5 million. There is no business more sinister than this in the world, right?"

"Uncle Mocard, you are a noble magic net walker. Your power allows you to refuse to repay debts. For this kind of usury, you can choose to refuse to pay." Mike said.

"No, the Duke's son is also a Magic Network Walker, and his strength is one level higher than mine. I must repay the Duke's debt little by little." Mocardo shook his head.

"Another Web Walker?"

Atlam's eyes lit up and he looked at each other with Mike.

Coincidentally, a voice came up in their minds at the same time: another target that could be developed into a offline.

But the tangled problem came right away.

Mocado had to help, and since Atlam agreed to him, there was no way he could retreat despite the difficulties.

But the son of the Duke is also a very good target, which is equivalent to 500,000 system points (the current recruitment reward is 500,000 points).

So Atram wants to win these two 500,000 points.

It's just obvious that Viscount Mercado is an honest man with a bit of conscience.

The Duke and his son are both obviously evil-hearted villains.

If he helps Mocardo, it will undoubtedly ruin the Duke's plot to annex the Viscounty of Chiron and completely offend him.

In this way, the hope of developing the Duke's son into a member will become slimmer.

It wouldn't work if he didn't help Mocado. Atram is not the kind of villain who keeps his word.

"What should we do, Captain?" Mike asked, finding this very confusing.

"I'm also thinking of a way to have both worlds." Atlam frowned.

"Captain, how about this? Let's take out all the golden tower shields we have, exchange them for pearls in the market, and help Uncle Mocardo pay off all the debts. Then nothing will happen," Mike suggested.

"no!"

Atlam shook his head: "The total number of gold tower shields we have is only a little over two hundred. It is impossible to buy 5 million buckets of pearls with such a small number of gold tower shields. The gold tower shields we have are very valuable. But one pearl cannot be exchanged for more than 10,000 buckets of pearls."

"Furthermore, even if we find a way to help Mocado pay off his debt, even if the Duke gets 500 buckets of pearls, he will not be happy. He will only think that we ruined his good deeds, because the Duke's real purpose is this A fertile territory.”

"If we help pay back the money, the Duke will not be happy, he will only be angry."

Atlam has extensive experience in the world of martial arts, and he saw the essence of the problem clearly.

"In other words, Captain, as long as we help Uncle Mocardo, the Duke's son will basically not be able to join our team?" Mike said.

"Yes! Big people usually have very small minds...although they pretend to be generous most of the time."

Atlam said.

"Is there really no other way? Of the two potential members, we can only recruit one of them, and the other can only be left to Claire's deputy team?"

"If I think about it again, there should be a way."

Atram patted his head and began to rack his brains to think of a solution.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that this problem seemed a bit unsolvable.

"Why don't you ask His Majesty the Emperor? He is much smarter than me. He might have a good way to get the best of both worlds!"

Asking capable people when you have questions has always been a good habit of Atram. It is also the reason why his talent is not as good as some geniuses, but his progress in cultivation can always keep up with theirs.

in video.

After listening to Atram's story, Zhou Ming barely thought about it and blurted out:

"Isn't it easy to solve this kind of problem? You go and capture the Duke's son first, and then go back and capture the Mercado. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Take down the Duke's son first?

A flash of lightning flashed in Atram's mind!

He clapped his hands and sighed loudly: "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? I can't even think of such a simple solution? I'm so stupid!"

"Your Majesty, you are so awesome. Atram is convinced. Thank you for your advice!"

"Okay, stop flattering me, I have something else to do, you can go about your business."

"Goodbye, Your Majesty."

After the video connection is hung up.

Seeing the captain's face full of excitement and high spirits, Mike quickly asked, what good idea did His Majesty the Emperor have that would allow them to bring in two potential members?

"Change the order of pulling people's heads. His Majesty asked me to pull the Duke's son into the guild first, and then drag Mocardo in..."

"But this doesn't work. We still haven't solved Uncle Mocard's problem. The 5 million bushels of pearls he owes the Duke still have to be paid back?" Mike said with a confused look.

"Hey, Mike, why is your brain stupider than mine? Why haven't you seen the key to the problem until now?"

Atlam shook his head at him repeatedly, feeling that this boy was really a coward and could not be taught.

Mike scratched his head: "Repaying debts is a matter of course. Even if the Duke's son becomes our member, they still want Uncle Mocardo's territory. They will do it for our sake. Can I get rid of this debt?"

"Of course not, but for the sake of points, they will definitely do it!"

Atlam said: "Mike, have you forgotten the widely circulated story before? Two rivals who were rivals, and the one who became a guild member, after winning a life-and-death battle, actually exchanged for 50,000 points. , in order to add a downline, he did not kill his old enemy, but spared his life... From this story, don't you see that in the face of points, blood feuds can be resolved?"

"Since points can resolve even hatred, by the same token, in front of points, a mere 5 million buckets of pearls is nothing."

Hear this.

Mike finally understood and nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining brightly.

There are a lot of things going on today, so I can only update twice. Sorry.
