Sean rode his horse at the front of the large group, because the farther back he was, the greater the dust. If he walked in the front, he didn't have to worry about the dust. And with Windsor by his side, Sean didn't have to worry about his own health.
Security Question.
But Sean's face looked a little uncomfortable here, as if he was struggling with something.
Windsor saw Sean's expression and asked in a low voice: "Lord, what's wrong with you?"
"Alas! Windsor, do you still remember the dinner held at the Golden Wolf King's Castle more than ten days ago?" Sean asked.
Hearing Sean's words, Windsor immediately smiled and said: "Of course I remember! How could you forget such an important thing?"
At that dinner, Windsor quickly brushed his reputation in Jon City from neutrality to respect, and of course he would never forget it.
Sean recalled while saying: "I remember when we came out of the castle that day, the butler William gave us a whole box of gold coins. Because the gold coins were very heavy, it took two people to carry them.
But now, there are not many gold coins left."
At that time, the butler William gave Sean a box full of gold coins, weighing more than 60 kilograms, which was a huge fortune!
But now, the box is still the same box, but there are only less than ten kilograms of gold coins left in it.
Having spent so many gold coins in just over ten days gave Sean a strong sense of crisis.
"It's okay, Lord Lord! Isn't the reason why we went to Yoen City this time just to make money!" Windsor comforted:
"As the territory gradually becomes more prosperous, our income will gradually increase."
"hope so!"
...
In fact, the decrease in gold coins is only a small part of the reason why Sean is upset. The main reason is because of the purchase of card packs.
Now that Sean has the BUFF of [Malfurion's Blessing], Sean originally planned that the first thing he did after arriving in Yohn City was to buy a large number of magic cores and exchange them for a [random follower card pack].
([Malfurion's Blessing]: After use, your next card pack will contain a golden card.)
However, the [Random Follower Card Pack] sells for 2,000 arcane dust. On average, a black iron magic core can be exchanged for 5-8 dust. The average price of a black iron magic core is 1 gold coin.
In other words, the cost of redeeming a [Random Follower Card Pack] yourself is about 307 gold coins!
After deducting the 12 black iron-level magic cores and 5 bronze-level magic cores that Sean had harvested from hunting during this period, the gold coins that Sean needed to spend were around 270.
This is a big expense.
Sean only has 1,500 gold coins left, and he still needs a lot of money to rent a house, rent a shop, and produce and promote products.
Should I buy this card pack or not? Sean was in a dilemma.
But thinking of renting a house, Sean called the housekeeper Henry: "Henry, come here, I have something to ask you."
"Master, what do you want from me?" Henry drove the horse to Sean's side.
Sean organized his thoughts and said:
"Henry, you go to Jon City first. When you arrive in Jon City, rent a house so that you can have a place to stay when the large army arrives."
"No problem, sir!" Butler Henry immediately agreed: "But sir, what kind of house do you want to rent? A cheap one or an expensive one?"
Sean thought for a while and replied: "The residence I lived in in Yoen City last time was quite good. Ask if it can be rented. If they don't rent it, you can find a similar one nearby."
Sean still misses the residence where he lived. If this life is regarded as a game, then that residence is Sean's birthplace.
"That's not good, sir! That residence is located in a civilian area, which is not in line with your noble status... Okay, I'll go right away."
Butler Henry initially disagreed with Sean's idea, but when he saw Sean's eyes gradually becoming "kinder", he immediately softened.
"That's it." Sean patted Henry on the shoulder: "I will give you 100 gold coins, and you can use it to pay the rent of the residence... Regardless of whether the rent is received or not, remember to send a guard to notify me."
"No problem, we will definitely complete the task!"
After Henry finished speaking, he packed up his salutes, took the gold coins and three attendants and rode to the city of Yohn.
...
...
While Sean was discussing the rental matter with the housekeeper Henry, in the Golden Wolf King Castle, Earl River was sitting in the study room chatting with his daughter Jessica River.
"Daughter, your internship period is over, how do you feel?" Earl River smiled.
Jessica River also showed a smile: "I feel very good, Dad!"
"Very good!" Earl River looked at Jessica's transcript provided to him by the Chamber of Commerce. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
"In view of your outstanding performance during the internship period, all the chambers of commerce, mercenary groups, and stores under my name will be handed over to you to manage.
It’s time for you to take charge of yourself!”
Jessica River was taken aback and said hurriedly: "But Dad, I am only 15 years old and may not be qualified for such a difficult job! What if there is any loss due to lack of experience..."
"It's okay." Earl River waved his hand indifferently, "I started to be exposed to these things when I was 16 years old. As the only heir of the family, you should have been mentally prepared a long time ago.
As for losing money, I also grew up slowly from losing money. I lost a lot of money in my first business, and I almost made your grandfather so angry that he went to see the God of Light, haha!
But it's all worth it. How can we deal with those old foxes in the Chamber of Commerce without enough experience and lessons?
The same goes for you, you have to grow slowly while losing money!"
"I will try my best." Jessica River took a deep breath and replied seriously.
"Daughter, don't have too much psychological burden.
You have inherited your father's intelligence and talent in cultivation.
The biggest legacy that your father left for you in this life is the title of Marquis. After Lucas and I go to see the God of Light, the family will only be able to look after you and Lucio.
I hope you can continue your efforts and create more honors for the family... By the way, is that boy Brody Mill still pestering you?"
"That's right, he sends me flowers every day and shows his courtesy, but I have to smile at him. It's really annoying!" Jessica River hugged Earl River's arm and said coquettishly.
"Alas! Lao Mo Fang I's military exploits were outstanding. He defeated the intermediate Silver Level on the battlefield with the strength of the Silver Junior Level. It really caused a sensation across the country! Unexpectedly, the heir...maybe he offended fate.
God.
It's okay, if you just bear with it a little longer, after we take over Hetan Town and Shuisong Town..."
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the count's study.
"Come in!" cried Lord River.
"Master, it's me!"
The person who walked through the door was William, the butler. At this time, William's expression was very serious: "Master, this is an urgent and secret letter from Gabe."
"An urgent secret message? Does it mean that that bastard Lucio doesn't want to come back? He dares to disobey my orders?" Earl River said angrily.
"That's not the case. Lucio came back as ordered."
"Then why do you still need to send a secret message? Could it be that His Highness Sean was infected with malaria and died?" Earl River took a sip of the coffee in front of him to relieve his dry lips after talking for a long time.
"No, it's even more serious. His Highness Sean also came to Yoon City with Lucio."
"Pfft! What??!!"
All the coffee in Earl River's mouth spurted out. He also stood up excitedly, and the veins on his forehead popped out:
Chapter completed!
