Everything is developing for the better.

Even the members of the joint mission who had to hide in a safe house overnight and were woken up in the early morning thought so, except that their vision was actually narrower than that of Quess.

"We are going to have a showdown with the ruler of the Taput Kingdom today," Grisus said to Namen, who was riding in the same carriage with him, who was eating bread with cold ham for breakfast. "They are now

We’re in big trouble.”

"It's not a good habit to raise prices on the ground." Namen twirled his fingers to make sure there were no butter or crumbs on them.

Grisus frowned dissatisfied. The leader of the Soft Maple People disagreed with his companion's views. "Mr. Namen, let's put it bluntly, I am responsible for the interests of the Soft Maple People,' Soft Maple - About

The United Army was never my starting point."

Seeing that Namen didn't answer, he continued: "In the previous military operations, the Yoms people have gained enough benefits, but we Soft Maple people have paid nearly 1,500 casualties and huge losses.

Logistical consumption. Except for the private treasury of a fiefdom lord, and the warehouses and money bags of several guilds, we did not receive any substantial benefits."

"Thinking about the problem like this is not like a qualified ruler, but more like an accountant," Namen smiled slightly, and then just when Grisus was about to have an attack, he used the next words to block the valve of anger in his chest.

, "However, I can understand the considerations. Therefore, before we go to see King Vises, we can go to another place to sit. Please believe me, if you still have any dissatisfaction after clarifying all the income situations."

, I will no longer prevent you from seeking compensation from Vises."

"Where are you taking us?" Grisus asked.

"Administrative District, Shining Gold Accounting Firm." Namen replied: "It is located near Raven Tower. It is only a ten-minute walk from the place where we are going to sign the agreement and negotiate."

When a vehicle drives on a road built by the Druids of the city, even if no shock-absorbing springs are installed, the passengers will not feel bumps. Even if the business district is attacked by demons, "rat plagues" suddenly appear in various urban areas of Esalem

"There were not many changes in this power center area. The morning sun rose slowly, and warm light filled the surrounding walls and streets. Grisus sat by the window of the carriage and had a thorough understanding of this area along the way.

Got some initial impressions.

Even compared to some big cities on the Ramsey continent, the beauty of the construction of this administrative district seems to be comparable to them. Maybe the coachman specially chose a route that best shows the power center of the city? But they came here last night

Why didn't you notice it during the day? Could it be that only during the day does the administrative area appear so amazingly tidy?

But no matter what, Grissus couldn't help but notice that the streets here were swept cleanly, the trees were neatly trimmed, the stone walls of the houses next to the streets were so white, and the water from the fountains and waterfalls was so clean.

Smooth... Even the cable cars that shuttle between tall buildings are actually covered with beautiful enamel tiles.

A few minutes later, at the same time as Raven Tower was in sight, the carriage convoy stopped in front of the gate of a white square building.

This is Shanjin Accounting Firm.

Flash Gold Accounting is a model for this industry, perfectly blending the luxury of hospitality and naked menace.

Namen admired the building.

The long and narrow windows resemble fortress embrasures, with cast-iron railings added, and the supports under the windows are stacks of cement dotted with broken glass. This three-story building stands alone in a compacted earth courtyard, with paintings on all four exterior walls.

Exquisite mural: a chubby and full of

The businessman looked at the account books, scales and stacks of gold coins in front of him with a complacent expression. The alchemical resin not only protected the murals from the sun and rain, but also brought a shimmer to the walls. And from personal experience, Namen knew that it also

It can also make these walls difficult to climb.

Walking into the room, you can smell the sweet scent of incense when you open the door. Golden lamp balls are hung in the niches, casting a warm and hospitable light; the columns and curtains are carefully designed to create the same hospitable shadow.

Behind the main entrance, there are alcoves with iron doors on both sides. The guard is sitting on a high stool inside. If you glance up, you will see that there is a beautifully hidden jack gate ready to be lowered at any time. The operator is not a guard or a banker.

They are the surveillance personnel hiding in the wall.

It would be impossible for a bandit to rob such a place on a whim. It would require at least dozens of fully armed and well-trained ruthless men. And given that Tivoli is so close to Raven Tower, you would most likely have to get the king's permission to loot it.

.But even so, after people with such thoughts break into Flash Gold, what they get most is not wealth, but a bloodbath.

This accounting firm is as inviolable as a temple. It contains a large amount of wealth, but it is not the kind of precious metal coins in the bank, but bills and bills filled with amounts that are prohibitive for ordinary people.

and other credit certificates. Relying on these things, the richest businessmen in Esalem can conduct normal business transactions with others.

"I saw the carriage parked outside on the third floor."

The woman who spoke walked out from behind the painted screen, where there was an elevator specially designed for her use. She was about forty years old, with dark skin, chestnut-colored hair tied up, and a cream-white silk trousers.

Little hat. Her right eye was covered with clouds, and the corresponding lens was removed from her glasses. "Mr. Namen, and these gentlemen, welcome you to the palace of glittering gold."

"This is my companion Grisus," Namen introduced.

"Single-body Flash Gold, gentlemen, I'm glad to be of service to you."

"Single body?" Grisus suspected that he heard it wrong. Even among the Taput people, few people would use such various names.

"I think it's more elegant than 'The Only Daughter, Shining Gold', and more gregarious than 'Lonely, Shining Gold'." The golden lady explained, and then changed the topic, "Mr. Wondering, did you bring the documents? We

It needs to be authenticated - you know, you have to be careful."

Namen took out a metal paper tube from his pocket and handed it to Monomer Flash Gold. The latter just unscrewed it and looked at the piece of paper inside, then resealed it and handed it back.

.

"The meeting room is ready. You can discuss related business without interruption," said Monoman Flash Gold. "While we are discussing, can I treat you to something to eat? Rye? Wine? Paired with puff pastry."

Desserts are just right.”

"Although I have already had breakfast, I still can't object to your warm hospitality," Namen replied with a smile, "Also, could you please ask someone to send some paper, ink and quills to that room? We need some

Make a copy of the document and save it.”

"Of course, but the firm can provide you with copying services, and the price is included in the cost of the meeting room."

"Thank you very much, but don't skip the paper, ink and quills. We still need them."

"..."

Monotype·Sparkling Gold invited Namen and Grisus to walk into a compartment on the second floor. The chairs here were all covered with velvet soft surfaces.

Soon, a waiter brought a tray with several piles of brown pastry filled with cheese and minced mushrooms. Grisus and Shining Gold drank small glasses of wine with great interest.

Let’s watch together as Namen slaughters the pastries.

"I'm so sorry," he chewed a mouthful of food, "I have been in poor health these past few days, but I may have lost control over my appetite."

"It doesn't matter," Monomer·Flash Gold said, "The etiquette of making people hungry is obviously not the way to treat guests. Do you need me to ask someone to bring some more? My chef also has many new tricks, you can help taste them.

"

Namen nodded.

In this firm, even if he knows that the other party is playing a prank, he must accept everything. After all, even his big boss must treat the person behind the surname Flash Gold with caution. If it gets too lively

That person, if he really wants to punish a contract demon like him, I am afraid that even if he renovates every day until the day when the multiverse is destroyed, that person will not be able to use up all his tricks.

Within a few minutes, reinforcements arrived with few snacks left, and then a service staff came in carrying a shelf with a grid carved on the surface. On the shelf were several packaged portions neatly inserted.

Document bag.

Namen was still devouring it.

"This is the first time I know what it means to be extremely hungry. Even snacks with minced coriander and five kernels can be swallowed into my stomach. Hahaha!" Single-body Flash Gold said with a smile.

Standing up, the sudden laughter was incompatible with the image she had shown before, but she immediately adjusted her expression.

"Then, there is only one thing left for you to remind you about your discussion. There is a large amount of funds - the source of which is Mr. Namen's entrusted fixed deposit - which is being kept by Shanjin Accounting Firm on your behalf.

.I have received strict instructions from my boss that this money cannot be registered. Before discussing how to deal with this money, unless it is the most private discussion between you two, whenever this money is mentioned, please

Please do not associate my name with it, and it is strictly forbidden to form words."

After saying that, the single body Flash Gold stretched out her hands and grabbed the wrists of Grisus and Namen respectively (neither of them had time to dodge the sudden grasp), and the golden lines clicked from her fingertips.

It extended to the wrists of the two of them, forming a pattern like a stack of gold nuggets, but it disappeared immediately. "I added a small guarantee, I hope you don't mind."

Namen held down Grisus' shoulders to prevent him from standing up suddenly. At the same time, he smiled and said to the single-body Flash Gold: "Of course I don't mind. I assure you, madam, as long as it doesn't involve food, I will keep it confidential.

We can make the court etiquette teacher look like a slovenly man on this matter."
