Powell looked at Sean slowly falling from the sky and couldn't believe his eyes.
A few days ago, Sean was only at the Silver level, so how could he suddenly be at the Sky level? This is incredible!
Sean smiled and waved his hand: "I am not a sky-level expert, I am still a silver-level person. The reason why I can fly is not because of my own ability, but because of this magical equipment."
Sean showed the [Activated Broom] to Powell, but quickly took back the system before he could take a closer look.
Powell glanced at the [Activated Broom], and the shock in his heart could not be greater: "Your Highness Sean, I have never seen a magical equipment that can carry people flying! At most, it is like the [Rocket Belt] that can allow people to stay in the air for a short time.
ability.
Your Highness Sean, where did you buy this magic equipment? I think it’s worth at least two thousand gold coins!”
"Two thousand gold coins?" Sean was slightly stunned. The price of [Activated Broom] is actually so high?!
But think about it, if it can stay in the air for a long time, it will be a huge improvement for a magician or archer, and it is really worth 2,000 gold coins!
And according to the research just now, [Activated Broom] and [Ship-borne Artillery] are both dead objects. Does that mean they can also be imitated?
But let’s talk about counterfeiting later. Sean smiled at Powell and said:
"This magical equipment was given to me by the God of Light. The God of Light made this gadget, but his old man couldn't use it, so he gave it to me."
After listening to Sean's words, Powell remembered that Sean also has the identity of "the Holy Son of the Holy Light Church", and he has also received many gifts from the God of Light. I am afraid that Sean's rise is inseparable from the God of Light.
!
So Powell clasped his hands together and said piously: "Praise the God of Light! With the blessing of the God of Light, I believe we will be able to defeat the enemy with the weak and the strong!"
"Similarly, praise the God of Light!" Sean clasped his hands together and prayed for a while, then looked at Powell:
"Powell, do you have anything else to do with me this time?"
"No more." Powell shook his head: "I came to you because there was a rumor in the city that you broke through the Sky Level... But I have some good news that I can tell you in advance!"
"What good news?"
"Your Highness Sean, do you still remember that we held a dinner party a week ago and collected 200,000 gold coins from the noble businessmen who attended the dinner?"
"Of course I remember."
"Basically all the 200,000 gold coins collected last time have arrived! No noble dares to delay." Earl Powell said happily: "This afternoon I will send someone to transport the gold coins collected and the property equivalent to the gold coins."
Come to you."
"Okay! Just leave it to Lor'themar and Morgan in the afternoon." Sean smiled and nodded.
With these 200,000 gold coins, the military expenses for this war are enough. Fortunately, the nobles and big businessmen know what they are doing.
"By the way, Powell." Sean suddenly thought of something: "Now that the typhoon has passed and the weather has returned to clear weather, you can take advantage of this period to visit several surrounding towns. There are several local viscounts around,
The earls in the field are all wealthy owners, and their fortunes are even greater!"
"This..." Powell hesitated.
He can still do it if he is asked to help win over the nobles in the city. Most of the nobles in the city are businessmen and their subordinates have little influence.
The nobles of several nearby viscounties and counts maintain large private armies. It would be very difficult to collect money from them, and there is nothing he can do if the other party does not pay him.
When Sean saw Powell's face, he knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and patted his shoulder: "It's okay, I'll let Khadgar go with you when the time comes. It's okay if they pay honestly. If not
If you're willing to pay, don't blame me...hehe."
If they were unwilling to pay, Khadgar would just let Khadgar take the treasury of these nobles.
Powell didn't know what Sean had in mind, but he still advised: "Your Highness Sean, in the past, we would not directly ask the nobles for money, especially asking for money from nearby lords. This is really too dangerous.
!”
"Then how do you solve the problem of military spending?" Sean asked.
"Raise taxes!" Powell replied confidently: "There is no problem that cannot be solved by raising taxes. If there is, then add an additional 10% tax! Sir, how about I issue a decree to tax the residents of the city now?"
"Forget it!" Sean shook his head: "How much money can ordinary residents have? There is going to be a war soon, and with heavy taxes they may not even be able to afford food. Listen to me and ask the surrounding nobles for money!"
"Okay, Your Highness Sean." Powell sighed.
Since His Highness Sean had his own way, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
...
...
After sending Powell away, Sean ordered his guards to go to the Blacksmith Guild in the east of the city to find Windsor, and to the gem shop in the center of the city to find Khadgar (he was there to protect Hannal, who worked there), and he himself
While thinking, he walked towards the study room.
The richest people in Port Kapur are three groups of people:
The first group were nobles and big businessmen;
The second group is high-level practitioners;
The third group is the Holy Light Church.
The aristocratic businessman was cut off by Sean. Sean did not dare to touch the high-level cultivators. The only one left was the Holy Light Church.
The Holy Light Church has accumulated a huge amount of wealth by selling "indulgences", and the accumulated wealth is even more than the taxes collected by the aristocracy. It's time to make a good deal.
"Besides, the Bishop of Port Kapur is only at the gold level, what a fat man!" Sean thought happily.
.....
A few minutes later, after being summoned by Sean, Lunala's female eagle flew in from the window and landed on Sean's shoulder.
Ten minutes later, Khadgar and Windsor returned to their residence together and came to the study on the second floor.
As soon as he walked in the door, Khadgar smiled at Sean and said, "Sir, have you broken through the middle of the Silver level?"
At the moment when Sean broke through the middle silver level, Khadgar also broke through the upper silver level, so he knew very well that Sean had just broken through.
"Yes, I have broken through the silver median." Sean smiled and nodded, and said to the three of them: "Khadgar, Windsor, Lunala, I want to take you to a very special place.
, where we can greatly improve everyone’s strength.”
The two of them nodded in unison, their expressions becoming serious.
"Okay, let's go now." Sean stood up from his seat: "Khadgar, we are waiting for you in the abandoned wine cellar. You go back to Riverbank Town and bring Anduin here."
"Leave it to me, my lord." Khadgar replied.
.....
Next, Khadgar returned to Riverbank Town through the [Portal], and Sean took Windsor to the abandoned wine cellar.
Chapter completed!
