Chapter 990 Cerela: Gold! Gold! All this gold is mine!
"Plop."
A lump of gold cake was thrown into the water.
"thump."
A gold bracelet was thrown into the water. Gretel, very generously, turned a blind eye to the gemstone on the bracelet and made no protest that it might not be worth as much as gold.
"thump."
A golden spearhead was thrown into the water...
The Golden Eagle warrior responsible for handing over to Gretel stood by the water, staring at the rippling water marks on the edge of the pool without blinking. Every time a piece of gold was dropped, his cheeks twitched, and when he dropped another piece, his cheeks twitched.
Twitch...
Why doesn’t the water level rise?
How many pieces of gold have been thrown down to get such a slight increase, you can't even tell if you don't pay attention!
Opposite the Golden Eagle Warrior, Archmage Vickers of the Alchemy Branch set up a set of tables and chairs, turning over and over under an umbrella to study Linn's golden feather. Measure the length, area, weighing, and observe the shape...
It seemed that he was not paying attention to the action of throwing gold aside. However, just when a golden pot was carried to the edge of the pool and was about to be thrown down, the archmage did not even raise his head and flew out of the mage's hand to stop it.
:
"Wait a minute. This pot has a mezzanine."
If there is a mezzanine, it means that the volume is increased, which means that the gold that should be given based on the volume is not given, and Gretel suffers a loss. Archmage Vickers has the heavy responsibility of supervising the transaction, so he has to make a noise no matter what.
"No, it's impossible!"
The nobleman who directed the men to bring up the golden kettle made a sound in surprise. Archmage Vickers didn't even turn his gaze as an invisible blade of light flew out and split the golden kettle in half.
In broad daylight, a cavity as big as an egg appeared inside the thick bottom of the pot.
"Throw it away."
Grete turned away and laughed secretly. Hey, with this great mage here, it is impossible to secretly occupy the volume. If you want to mix a little gold with silver to reduce the amount of gold paid, it is probably...
"Wait a minute. This golden knife is mixed with at least 20% silver. It is not pure gold."
"!!!"
"If you don't believe it, you can fish out a few pieces of gold and try it." Archmage Vickers pressed his eyes on the eyepiece of the microscope without raising his head:
"The same weight of gold, if it is pure gold, should displace the same amount of water. If it is mixed with silver, it will displace more water."
The noble who directed the gold throwing went to try it with a grimace. Gretel curled up the corners of his mouth and secretly gave the Archmage a thumbs up:
How come you didn't even raise your head or look at it, and you realized that there were cavities in the gold and that it was mixed with too much silver?
I didn’t see you casting the spell, nor did I see you measuring it! If the cavity is scanned by mental power, what about adding 20% silver? Can this also be scanned out?
"thump."
"thump."
"thump."
Various gold objects continued to be put into the pool. At first, they were thrown down, but later, they were held by the golden eagle warriors with both hands and carefully entered the pool.
God of Eagles, please don’t let the water in this pool ripple again! If it ripples just a little bit, we have to put another piece of gold in...
Thank God, with all the efforts of the kingdom, gold the size of a person can still be obtained. Those gold rings, gold bracelets, gold bracelets, gold necklaces, and gold anklets were thrown into the pool one by one, and finally the water waves were even with the edge of the pool.
flat.
Archmage Vickers waved his finger casually, and the gold weapons flew out one after another, forming a golden rainbow connected head to tail, and landed at Gretel's feet. Cerela, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately jumped over:
"Mine!"
With a wave of his hand, all the gold disappeared. Not far away, a young magician who was looking forward to it said softly "Ouch" and subconsciously reached forward:
Why did you just take it away?
Why did you just take it away?
Everyone knows that the gold stored in the Eagle Country will definitely not be enough to pay the bill, and a large part of it will definitely have to be exchanged for land, resources and other things. The remaining gold will be distributed evenly according to proportion, or exchanged for corresponding
resource.
In other words, it is impossible for every Archmage to actually get as much gold as promised when he came.
Why did this young lady take away all this gold?
Just as he said "Ouch", he was pulled by the people around him. Through the spiritual connection, the urgent warning from his companion came:
"You want to compete with the dragon for gold? I'm crazy!"
Serila didn't notice the movement nearby, or in other words, she didn't care if she noticed it. She looked at the Golden Eagle warrior with joy:
"What to say next? Fill it with water and let me go down and take a dip, or just throw gold in it? I can kill eight Golden Eagle Warriors!"
This... I said in private that I could only hit six, so why did it increase to eight now? Gretel quickly glanced at Serira and wisely shut up. Well, the other party didn't protest, then Serira
When I say eight, I mean eight...
The golden eagle warrior looked at Cerela's tall figure, compared it with Gretel, and then thought about the archmages who came this time and the guard warriors they brought with them, and shook his head with a grimace:
"Just throw it away..."
This beauty is slender, but many of the archmages are potbellied. As for the guard soldiers, they are even bigger and rounder. To make a life-size golden statue, there must be more gold thrown in...
Plop, plop, jingle, jingle. After Cerela collected his own share, it was Archmage Baierbo’s share. The Archmage was very reasonable and only asked for twice as many golden statues as the number of Golden Eagle Warriors.
Considering that the Eagle God could definitely defeat the 24 Golden Eagle Warriors, but was not guaranteed to defeat Archmage Baierbo, everyone in the Eagle Kingdom pinched their noses and accepted the bill.
After Archmage Belbo's share, there is Archmage Heins' share. Well, 24 shares, no more, no less.
Next, there is the share of Archmage Mansfield, the share of Archmage Vickers, the share of Archmage Muniz...
The magicians' guess soon became true. Well, in less than two days, half of the great magicians who lined up had not received the gold, and none of their guarding warriors had received the gold. In the Eagle Kingdom,
Bian, abruptly cut off his confession...
Before Archmage Baierbo sent people to investigate, Tratoani brought the Golden Eagle leader and Chihuakoto to personally come to plead with him.
The speakers who came this time no longer had the golden crowns on their heads, the gold bracelets on their arms, and the golden staffs in their hands. The Golden Eagle warriors no longer had gold weapons in their hands, and Qiwako
The gold powder on Tuo's body has completely disappeared:
"Distinguished guests!" Tratoani took the lead, and all the speakers bowed down respectfully:
"We have done our best to carry out the oracle and collect all the gold. However, the gold in the Eagle Country is limited after all... Can we use silver, gems, and other valuables to offset part of the debt?"
The great mages looked at each other and smiled.
