Before ascending to God, be a good lord

On the first floor of the Magic Furnace Temple, a row of long tables has been set up. Lant, Zolaika, Klein and Partin V jointly signed their names on four contracts, sealing the Galloping Horse Kingdom and the Church of Fortune. , the Royal Foundation and the Four Great Seals of the Southeast Kingdom.

"Your Majesty Lant, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Southeast Kingdom," Partin V said cheerfully. "Originally, I thought you would have some misunderstandings about the Southeast. However, it turns out that you have no respect for the Empire and His Majesty Willy. Loyalty cannot be shaken!”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I would also like to thank His Majesty the Great God Emperor and the Temple of Fortune," Lant also said. "Of course, there is also my fellow countryman Marquis Fiat, especially under his management, more than a dozen workshops can Delivering goods to Yeqi City on time, with high quality and quantity, made me determined to install the magic furnace here!"

"Oh, that's right," Paltine V showed an unnatural expression, and he patted Fiat on the shoulder, "My Marquis, since you and His Majesty Lant are of the same race, you have to take us with you when you have business! "

"Uh... haha" Fiat Mercedes-Benz smiled awkwardly and quickly explained, "Look what you said, not all of the workshop alliance belongs to my family. Don't everyone have shares?"

After the recovery of Yeqi City, Fiat was the first nobleman in the Southeast Kingdom to jump up and curse Lant, and even tried to build relationships to question Lant's bloodline.

After the orcs became hostile to Lant, it was he who tried every means in the Great Council to prevent the protection policy for the Galloping Horse Plains from taking effect, and even sent his family members to collude secretly in the orc territory.

Even after Lant's victory, he was still the one liaising throughout the kingdom to spread the word that Lant was closely related to the Red Dragon Rock and was not friendly enough to the coastal nobles.

However, in terms of business, Fiat is indeed Yeqi City's closest business partner. Half of the workshops are supplying magic pattern plates, and the other half are supplying rand's inland river ships.

As a support target of the Galloping Horse Fund, the workshops under Fiat's name enjoy subsidies and procurement discounts from the Imperial Finance Department. Therefore, the workshops of various families in the kingdom will be named under his alliance.

However, Fiat's behavior of doing business with others while cursing others made the nobles present instinctively think that he was preventing other nobles from communicating directly with Ye Qicheng.

Seeing Fiat in trouble, Lant said quickly: "Your Majesty, my cooperation with Fiat just started a few months ago. It was originally just because I wanted to withdraw from the Galloping Horse Fund, hoping to give some money to other members of the family. He placed an order with the Marquis's workshop only after receiving a subsidy.

However, after many exchanges with the Marquis, he assured me that the workshops in the entire Southeast Kingdom were as good as his. "

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Partin V glanced at Fiat.

"Ah..." The Marquis looked at Lant awkwardly, then turned to look at the king.

Lant nodded and said: "Of course, Fiat brought several coastal nobles to find me at that time and specifically expressed this meaning to me."

"Oh, yes," Partin V finally smiled after hearing this, "Fiat is right, our workshops here are very good, and I believe our products will definitely gain more recognition in the future. "

Of course, there was a grand luncheon after the signing. This was the first time that Lant held a banquet on Fiat's territory, but both the dishes and the fine wines were all from the Tower of Purity in the Imperial Capital.

After giving a speech with King Paltin V at the luncheon, Lant hurriedly left the main restaurant and went to another small restaurant to dine with many legends.

"Your Majesty Rand, as the Chief Secretary of the Department of Finance, I still want to express my greatest protest against you and Mr. Klein for overstepping the Department of Finance and reaching an irresponsible financing plan!" As soon as he saw Rand sitting down, the Chief Secretary of the Department of Finance Frank Douglas stood up and said.

"What makes me even more unbelievable is that if I hadn't heard the secretary of the Finance Department of Solandel City accidentally talk about it, I wouldn't have even known that a new magic furnace was to be installed here today. Your behavior is simply disrespectful to your Assistant Finance Officer. Blasphemy of duty!”

"I think that as the Assistant Financial Officer, I should be responsible for the fiscal policy of the empire, rather than collecting gold coins for the Treasury Department!" Lant said expressionlessly, "Sir Frank, the Treasury Department is the Treasury Department of the Empire. Look at it. Aren’t you disturbed by the current overstaffing of the Treasury and the high financing costs of the empire?”

"This..." Frank opened his mouth, unable to swallow the breath and did not dare to refute.

After becoming a legend, this was the first time that a noble criticized the entire Finance Department in front of him. If it were an ordinary noble, he would definitely let the other party suffer various debt traps.

If it were any other imperial official, he would definitely make the other party regret saying this, but the person who spoke was the assistant director of the Department of Finance and also the favored one of the Demonic Network.

Rant knew that Frank was unconvinced and did not dare to oppose him openly, so he continued: "Sir, let me say it again, it is impossible for me to agree to the magic furnace voucher plan proposed by the Department of Finance. The magic furnace cannot be financialized.

In addition, I have fully expressed my idea of ​​financing the magic furnace to the God Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor, and have received their support. The temple under our feet today and the workshop in the future park are the first step of my idea. "

"It's unbelievable!" Frank simply put down the wine glass in his hand, turned around and left angrily, and said as he walked, "I can't believe that other departments of the empire will agree!"

"Pfft~" The legendary dragon Zolaika couldn't help laughing. She didn't need to come in person today, but she just heard that Frank was coming, so she couldn't help but follow him.

Sure enough, Lant did not disappoint Zoleka. Not only did he resolutely resist the magic furnace coupons offered by the Department of Finance, but he also confronted Frank in person. Such a scene could finally make up for her regret of not being able to see the panda during the day.

"Lant, don't worry, the Temple of Wealth will always have your backing!" Zoleka also stood up, "I still have several babies waiting for me at home, so I won't accompany you all!"

After the legendary dragon left, only Lant, Klein, Ben Call and Saint Peter of the Temple Alliance were left on the dining table. The scene suddenly turned from lively to deserted.

"Your Majesty Lant, it seems that it is finally my turn to speak," the demigod priest Saint Peter said slowly, "Can I ask which god gave you the title of Magic Forge Builder? "

"Your Majesty Wei Li, not only did he confer this title, but he also presided over my wedding, which was witnessed by the entire Demon Network." Lant replied without hesitation.

"..." The demigod priest was stuck for a few seconds and asked again: "So, has your Magic Furnace Temple been recognized by the empire?"

"Of course, His Majesty the Tideman came to me before and told me about Lant's priesthood and title. Later, the priest of the Goddess of Wealth also came to me and explained the matter of the Magic Cauldron Temple. This matter is not only His Majesty the God Emperor, but also the Pope. Your Majesty also knows this." Klein directly spoke on behalf of Lant.
