Chapter 689: Are the gold coins grabbed enough to make Cerela’s bed?
If Gretel is still in Nevis, if he visits the teacher more often, if he is favored enough by the Lord of Thunder...
Then, he probably got the news of the destruction of the Golden Fleet more than half a month ago.
Of course, it is also possible that the Lord of Thunder felt that his level was too low and he never cared about these national affairs, so he did not tell him anything.
However, sooner or later, you win anyway. The royal capital was packed with people, and they flocked to the port to see the returning fleet, so that the number of people hospitalized that day was reduced by half...
There was so much excitement in the hospital that Grete had to give the healers and midwives a holiday in turn, allowing them to visit as they pleased.
He stayed in the hospital until night, and finally waited until Serira took the lead and rushed into the hospital. When he saw him, he grabbed him and started chirping impatiently:
"The fleet is huge! It stretches from the front of the palace for more than ten miles, and there are many captured warships among them!"
In the royal capital, a wide river ran through the city, rushing into the sea with mighty force. The fleet was able to sail upstream and sail in front of the entire kingdom's residents.
According to Serira, the most magnificent flagship should be parked directly at the entrance of the palace. Gretel couldn't help but think that if a cannon was set up at this time, it might be able to bombard the palace.
stop!
Stop it!
There is no cruiser Aurora here!
Gretel was distracted for a moment and quickly brought his thoughts back. Cerela was still dancing and describing:
"The largest ship is twice as big as the Humpback Whale we took last time! It was just a captured ship. Phew, it smells bad!"
"Lots and lots of gold! Gold bars, gold nuggets, gold coins, silver coins, and precious stones were pulled down from the deck one by one! The head of the convoy entered the palace, and the tail has not yet disembarked from the farthest ship!"
Gretel smiled and watched her gesticulating and talking non-stop... When the silver dragon girl talked about gold, jewels and stones, her nose twitched, the capillaries on her cheeks dilated, and her pupils involuntarily dilated.
Those beautiful silver-blue eyes were turning and turning, almost turning into gold coins on the spot.
Grete did a quick mental calculation:
Assuming that a carriage including horses and the distance between the front and back needs to occupy 20 meters, one kilometer is 50 carriages.
From the palace to the rear of the fleet, 10 kilometers is equivalent to 500 carriages.
Assume that each carriage carries 1000 kilograms...
If each ship contains gold and silver coins, this fleet is equivalent to intercepting approximately 500 tons of gold and silver... If a gold coin weighs ten grams, then 500 tons of gold is equivalent to approximately 50 million gold coins!
Fifty million!
If you give it all to Miss Yinlong, not to mention making the bed, it can completely cover the entire dragon cave!
Suck, suck, suck...
calm down!
He pinched his thigh hard. The cargo of the gold fleet must be more silver than gold. And hundreds of tons of gold and silver can only be loaded on one ship at most, and other ships will never come back empty.
The bulk of the loot this time should be various goods, such as pepper, carmine, tobacco, indigo, leather, etc., as well as various specialties of extraordinary creatures...
When it comes to gold and silver, there really isn’t much gold! We still have to share the accounts with the dwarves, barbarians, vampires, and orcs!
After the division is completed, the human side, the Magic Council, the Queen, the nobles, and several temples have to sit down and continue to divide...
The most that can fall into Serrela's hands is to take one or two gold coins to watch and play with. If you want to use gold coins to make a bed, dreaming will be faster.
Or, after he and Serira are both promoted to legend, would it be faster to grab the golden fleet again?
"Oh, it's a pity that I don't know what happened during the battle..."
Grete sighed, leisurely and fascinated.
Treasure fleet! Countless gold and gems! The Holy See of Glory must have concentrated its elite forces to escort it. If you want to gnaw this hard bone, it will definitely be a battle that will shake the world!
"When can I see the battle report... If you are in Nevis, you can also ask your brothers and sisters, or talk to some of the archmages in the review committee..."
In the Royal Capital, those who are not familiar with the place can only rely on the editing and printing speed of newspapers. As for the level of these newspapers in the Royal Capital, Grete is not optimistic at all.
You can spread his negative news everywhere without verifying it at all!
snort!
Gretel knows how to hold a grudge!
But if the newspaper cannot be trusted, I want to know the details of this battle...
"Humph, I'm not in a hurry for this day or two anyway." Gretel muttered to comfort himself:
"No big deal, when I get back to Nevis, I'll go find my senior brothers and sisters to find out the details!"
Gretel, who said this, did not expect that the details would soon be delivered to his door.
That night, a carriage inlaid with the family emblem stopped at the entrance of the administrative building. Baroness Vitegue walked into Grete's office with a smile and handed over an invitation:
"Tomorrow night, the Queen will hold a welcome banquet for the victorious soldiers. The Queen heard that you have made a great contribution to this expedition, and specially invites you and Miss Cerela to the banquet."
"Do I have to go?" Grete began to look around. The characteristic of obstetrics is that the mother's condition can deteriorate at any time. A normal delivery may go well, but a caesarean section may be needed at any time.
He was not in the hospital and was away for a long time. What if there happened to be a cesarean section and Joanna and the others had a miscarriage?
"Do you have to go?" Cerela wasn't very interested either. Miss Silver Dragon's curiosity about the palace and the queen had already been satisfied last time; going to attend a special banquet again, well...
There are many people, the air is not good, it is chaotic and noisy...
"The Queen is very old now. If this victory had not been of great significance, she would not have held the banquet." The Baroness observed her words and immediately smiled:
"Although the healers from the Spring Water Temple will accompany her, they are not foolproof. Therefore, I would like to ask Your Excellency, Master, to attend the banquet no matter what."
Grete obliged, and immediately nodded in agreement. Seeing that he agreed, Cerira no longer expressed objections, but was a little dismayed. The Baroness turned to her and smiled:
"It is said that some of the captured gold treasures will be displayed at the banquet..."
"Hey! I will definitely be there tomorrow!" Cerira's eyes lit up instantly. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask:
"Do you need new clothes or new jewelry?"
"This..." Miss, you still have a few sets of jewelry you can wear that can surpass the queen!
While Serila was carefully checking her jewelry, the new pope in the Holy City of Glory was furious:
"Incompetent! Trash! There was no information about such a big operation beforehand! Those heretics are so shameless! As humans, they would actually contact the vampires and orcs to deal with us together!"
"Go! Contact the electors of the Rhine Kingdom, contact the kings and dukes of the Carolingian Kingdom! Organize a fleet, attack the Kingdom of Kent, and punish those heretics!"
