"10%, it's considered a tithe for you, my lady." Ryan took off Sulia's armor. At this time, the female knight was wearing a simple long-sleeved shirt, leg-fitting trousers, and riding boots.
, her body was covered with traces of sweat. Seeing the fairy in the lake appear, Sulia felt a little unnatural.
However, since she became pregnant, the Fairy of the Lake accompanied her almost every day. The relationship between the two people has basically completed a complete transformation. Before, the relationship between the Fairy of the Lake and Sulia was that of gods and believers. Now the relationship between the Fairy of the Lake and Sulia is now
The relationship between Lidya Su and Lidya Su became that of good sisters.
, it is now difficult for the female knight to regard the goddess as the unattainable god she once was. She just maintains basic respect: "Madam, I am covered in sweat now. I will take a shower first. You and Ryan talk first, Ryan,
Please treat yourself well, ma'am, and I'll be here in a moment."
"Don't worry, just leave Ryan to me with peace of mind." The Lake Fairy hugged Sulia, and the goddess reached out and touched Sulia's delicate face before letting her leave.
It’s already quite hot in Noor in June. Even the Elector’s Palace, which is located in an excellent location, is exposed to direct sunlight. The hot wind from the sun blows through the courtyard, blowing up the clothes of the fairy in the lake.
Today's goddess wears a laurel wreath, her long skirt is swaying in the wind, and the beauty under her skirt is
She is not wearing stockings, and her ankle-length golden hair is silky and soft in the wind. Her beauty is in her prime, just like the beauties in the oil paintings of high elves, with the elegance and reserve unique to a goddess.
, her moist and fair skin not only sets off her beauty, but also shows her strength.
Ryan knew why. The success of his reforms in Britannia made the entire knight kingdom re-energized from the backwaters. Although the number of knight nobles had declined due to years of war, it came from the fanatical belief of the serfs.
It well compensates for and strengthens the power of the goddess. Now the Lake Fairy is experiencing the peak of her own divine power, and she has never hesitated to use her divine power to perform various miracles, which further expands her influence.
"Welcome to Noor, my lady." Ryan took the initiative to reach out and pull the fairy of the lake to sit down in the room. He was in a good mood: "Do you need me to make you a cup of coffee?"
"Noni juice, thank you." The fairy in the lake also had a slight smile on her face. The stronger Ryan was, the happier she was.
"...I remember that noni juice is a high-end drink only available in Ulthuan. If you want it, I can arrange for someone to buy it immediately." Ryan was speechless by the goddess's request. He poured a glass of lemonade and handed it to him.
To the Lady of the Lake: "But now I can only give you lemonade."
"So you shouldn't make promises to others at will, dear Ryan." The Lake Fairy came to Ryan naturally not to drink some noni juice. The goddess said meaningfully: "Since you have made a promise, you must keep it.
You must go out."
Ryan's movements paused. He didn't know what the fairy in the lake was talking about.
Does it mean his promise to Emilia?
Or does it refer to his promise to the Lady of the Lake?
Or is it Bafeng Mountain?
"It's not my way of doing things to avoid things blindly, my lady." Ryan thought about it carefully and did not answer the Lake Fairy's question directly.
The dark elf walked behind Ryan, and Orika looked at the Fairy of the Lake with vigilance and repulsion. Even though her strength was restored, Orika still knew that she was no match for the Fairy of the Lake, but this did not affect her love for the Fairy of the Lake.
of disgust.
"Hmm~ Ryan, you are now not only my divinely chosen champion, Sulia's husband, the Duke of Mousilon, and the orthodox successor of Landuin, you are also the crown prince of the Knight Kingdom." The Lake Fairy looked at the darkness.
Taking a glance at the elf, the goddess' impression of Ryan's dark elf maid can't be said to be very good.
The Fairy of the Lake will not interfere in Ryan's private matters just because of a bad impression. On the surface, she likes to tease Ryan, but in fact she masters the heat skillfully. As long as she controls Sulia and Morgiana, she will immediately
Invincible: "You were a bit hasty in promising your little maid."
"So that's it." Ryan shrugged helplessly: "Maybe, but as the Imperial Dame, I can't even give her a marriage. For Emilia and little Frederick, I should stay.
.”
"I didn't say it was wrong for you to stay, I said it was too easy for you to agree." The Fairy in the Lake shook her head: "Don't leave the imperial people with the illusion that the support of the knights is always free and hard-working, you
There is no problem with the little maid who can help you this time. What about when you return to Britannia next time? What about next time when you become the King of Knights? After receiving Emilia's request, you immediately put down everything you are doing and go there.
Empire? What if you were on a chivalry expedition? Thousands of troops were left behind?"
"Fighting evil is an obligation, but it is not a reason for you to be coerced and treated as a fool." The fairy in the lake said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You are my divinely chosen champion. Even if you want to borrow it, you have to ask me.
Opinion?"
Ryan expressed that he understood what the Fairy of the Lake meant, that is, it is necessary to follow the eight virtues of chivalry and fight against evil. However, one should not be too "holy" and make oneself feel as if he has original sin. This is the so-called excess and evil. He smiled and crossed his hands.
Put it on the table: "I understand, my lady, don't worry, Amelia and I have a tacit understanding on this matter, and she will not let me or Brittania suffer."
"Madam, you still don't understand Ryan? He has never been a fool." Sulia came out of the shower. The female knight changed into a refreshing summer glazed chiffon gorgeous pure dress, and simply used a hairband to cover herself up, which was still a little wet.
Her long golden curly hair was fixed, and Sulia was rare without wearing stockings.
High heels, a pair of slender straight long legs, only wearing a pair of ordinary soft-soled sandals. The female knight was very happy when the Lake Fairy appeared. She pulled up a chair and sat next to the Lake Fairy: "He, he has already planned it long ago.
I don’t know how much benefit I can get from supporting Noor this time.”
"Okay, it turns out that he, his little maid, and you are colluding together!" The fairy in the lake had no airs in front of Sulia, and everyone started laughing and playing: "You can't do this! Suli
Ya!”
"My lady, I just remembered it." Sulia held the hand of the fairy in the lake, a little shy.
"No, you want to give me half of everything you say, but you hide something from me~" The fairy in the lake hugged Sulia's waist and said with a smile, "I want to punish you~ Sulia."
"Well~ I was wrong." The female knight in turn hugged the waist of the Lake Fairy and said with a smile: "As an apology, madam, would you like to taste the desserts here in Nuer? I just recently learned a lesson from the palace chef.
How to make forest cake..."
"Okay~" The Lake Fairy and Sulia hugged each other, and the two beauties laughed and played together.
When Ryan saw this, he sighed inwardly. He thought that the relationship between Amelia and Lidya Su could not reach this level at the best time, and it was even more impossible for Amelia and Lidya Su to become good friends now.
Sisters, it's good if they can maintain a harmonious relationship on the surface.
"Master, Mr. Oliver has been waiting for some time." While the Lake Fairy and Sulia were chatting passionately and Ryan was thinking wildly, Olica, who was standing behind Ryan in a black and white maid uniform, whispered:
"Do you want to see him?"
"Ryan, please handle your business." The fairy in the lake did not interfere. She stretched out a jade finger and chanted a spell. A thick curtain of dense fog instantly covered her and Sulia in the room.
On the other side: "We'll be fine if we just listen."
So you are just listening to politics behind the curtains in the East and West palaces? Ryan complained in his heart.
There seems to be no problem.
After a while, Oliver came in. This big businessman from the Oliver Chamber of Commerce had beads of sweat on his forehead. In the middle of summer, he took a few breaths, followed Olica into the room, and sat down carefully.
"Have you been waiting for a long time? Sorry, something delayed me." Ryan motioned for Oliver to sit down, with a hint of apology in his voice.
"It's okay, Mr. Ryan." Oliver quickly said respectfully, "You should wait a moment."
"How did things go?" Ryan stopped talking and got straight to the point.
"Things went very smoothly, Lord Lane." Oliver stroked his long beard, and the big businessman showed a large number of house deeds and land deeds: "Currently, due to the influence of the Chaos army appearing in the Border Prince Territory, Nuer's housing prices have declined.
With land prices plummeting, a building that previously cost
A mansion with two to three thousand gold crowns can be sold at a fixed price for only eight hundred gold crowns. Many nobles are desperately selling their properties and land in the suburbs. If you hadn't asked for a deal as soon as possible, I would have even continued to lower the price. These nobles
We just want cash.”
"Well, how much real estate have you acquired in total?" Ryan looked at the thick stack of real estate deeds that Oliver took out and smiled.
"I have acquired a total of three large noble estates, including the estates of Count von Rundst and Margrave Stroessner, which were previously involved with the Slaanesh sect. They were all bought by us at a very low price. Among them, we got
With the strong support of Dame Emmanuel, many big nobles wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain access to these two banks.
Garden, but because of the current news, the great nobles of Nuer are all preparing for war." Oliver took out three points stamped with the Baroness's medal, the Justice Church's medal, the Justice Lady's Church's medal, and the War Goddess' Church's medal.
Manor title deed: "For less than thirty thousand gold crowns, these three manors are already yours, my Duke."
"If Noor's previous land prices were used, how much would the price of these three estates be?" Lane said with a smile.
"At least one hundred thousand gold marks, and there must be connections." Oliver nodded proudly: "Now, we have it done."
"Then there are some luxury houses and shops in wealthy areas and urban areas. According to your request, I have acquired many of them one after another in the past few days." Oliver took out a large stack of land deeds and house deeds: "These are all yours now.
Okay, my duke, I have about fifty thousand gold crowns, more than twenty mansions and more than ten locations, all of which are first-class good stores. I bought them at the lowest price, and these people who are eager to cash out are still suppressed by me.
I paid several times just to get the full amount.”
"Haha~ interesting." There was a soft chuckle like silver bells from the other side of the room. Oliver looked in the direction of the curtain with some confusion. The big businessman immediately noticed that the bright light of the gods was formed in the thick fog.
looming behind the curtain.
It's the Fairy of the Lake! That's definitely the Lady of the Lake! Only she will appear here at this time!
No wonder Duke Lane took so long.
Dahao Shang was covered in cold sweat. He didn't dare to look anymore and quickly lowered his head: "That's it, Mr. Lane."
"I will keep the land deeds of these three large manors. You can take these." Ryan accepted the land deeds of the three large noble manors. He smiled and said: "Be prepared for the rest. You can start in a few days.
Ready to come out slowly."
"Get out?" Oliver was under great pressure to answer in front of the gods. He hesitated and said: "But... Mr. Ryan, at this time, everyone in the market is selling off their real estate. We can buy it, but who can sell...
Sell it? Who is willing to take over these real estates at this time? If...I mean if, that Chaos army comes to Nuer, wouldn't everything be over?"
"Do you have confidence in me, Oliver?" Ryan picked up his cup with lemonade in it.
"Of course." Oliver could only answer this question, and Dahaoshang said seriously: "I believe you can do everything, Mr. Lane."
"So do the Nuer people have confidence in me?" Ryan then asked: "You must know what is being discussed outside these days."
Oliver's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he realized something. The businessman had a keen sense of smell and smelled the business opportunities!
Business opportunities brought by the advantages of information asymmetry!
"In the past few days, you hurry up and acquire, and I will buy you a few days. In the past few days, you hurry up and lower the price, and use the cash flow in your hands to acquire as many mansions and land as possible." Ryan said calmly:
"I mean try your best."
"Understood!" Oliver now felt confident. The merchant and Lane discussed a few more words, and then immediately stood up: "Leave it to me, Mr. Lane, please don't worry."
After Oliver left, the Lake Fairy and Sulia came out from behind the curtain hand in hand. The goddess now understood what kind of trick Ryan was playing. She laughed so hard that her whole body was shaking: "Lian, my champion, I really underestimate you."
Damn you, why are you so skilled?"
"Skilled?" Ryan raised his eyebrows: "My lady, have you seen it?"
"This trick of yours was played by the high elves five thousand years ago in Lothern, the capital of Ulthuan, hahaha~" The fairy in the lake laughed so hard: "But I didn't expect that there are actually people like this among humans.
Someone who knows how to handle real estate, tell me, dear Lane, where did you learn it?"
Where did you learn that? Ryan's smile was dark and twisted.
Compared with the various methods of "Superman Li" he had seen in his previous life, his skills were nothing.
But it doesn't matter, this was not the original purpose.
"My madam, in this period of time, you just have to wait for the gift to be treated softly!" Ryan stood up: "I won't be visiting these days, so I'll leave it to you, Lidya Su."
"No problem, my husband, but how should I respond?" Lidya Su knew that Ryan had thrown the baggage over, and the Duchess said angrily: "I can't tell them that I don't know anything, can I?"
"Starting from today, for five days, you said that I need some time to think about any visitors who come." Ryan gave Sulia the opportunity: "Accept any gifts during this period, and then promise to help persuade me."
That’s it.”
"I understand." Lidya Su understood immediately.
In the next few days, everything went as Ryan expected.
One after another, the great nobles and noble ladies of Nuer came to the Elector's Palace to visit Ryan.
Some are trying to be miserable, some are being reasonable, some are trying to build relationships, some are condemning, some are being moved by emotion and are being reasoned with, and some are even begging shamelessly.
Carloads of gifts were delivered to the palace of the Elector, and Sulia accepted them all. The Duchess understood the righteousness well, and said to all the visitors that she would advise her husband well. In order to fight against evil, for the sake of
Fight to protect the empire of mankind.
There were so many gifts and gifts that the place where Ryan stayed was almost filled with all the gifts. Emilia immediately arranged two new rooms for Ryan specifically to store gifts.
Both rooms were quickly filled.
In this way, after five days passed, Duke Mousilon and the divinely chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake, Ryan Macado, finally responded. He stood up and announced that it was his duty to fight against evil! As a model of chivalry, he has a duty to do so!
He will stand up and fight with the Nuer people against the coming evil army!
As soon as these words came out, the whole city was boiling.
Nuer land prices, which had plummeted for a while, immediately started to rise again. Within a few days, land prices immediately returned to 90% of the previous level. With Ryan's words, the Nuer people began to gain confidence in the threats they faced!
"Okay, we can start going out." Oliver immediately received the new order, and he immediately began to sell off the real estate he had accumulated.
