Master Tongtian

Chapter 349 The Duke Who Sold His Daughter (23)

Crescent Territory is also almost 3,000 lamimeters, or 2,600 kilometers away from Nutao City.

Afu first took Rosen back to the Crescent Territory, and then rushed to the Feiyu Islands in advance.

After Rosen made the final arrangements in the Crescent Territory, he flew the new plane and set off urgently to Raging Waves City.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon when we set off.

Along the way, I went around Fenseril Island and handed Dora the ultra-high-precision mana fluctuation detector, and exchanged it for 5,000 Fusa magic gems from her.

Dora was very generous, and the gems she gave were of extremely high quality. They were all good things that Master Turan had collected throughout his life, and the total value was estimated to be more than 500,000 kronor.

As a result, the total value of the arcane coins and gems contained in Rosen's warehouse has exceeded 4.5 million crowns, which is a huge amount of money.

He continued to the city of Raging Waves.

At six o'clock in the evening, I saw a pillar of light connecting the sky and the earth from a distance. Flying closer, I saw a vast group of buildings on the horizon.

The building complex is divided into two halves by a spacious river. There are densely packed large and small ships floating on the river. The Ocean Lord, which went to the imperial capital to show off some time ago, quietly docked beside a white embankment.

About less than 300 meters to the north of the dam is the Golden Blessing Light Pillar. It is the same level as the Crescent Territory, and is a second-level Golden Glory Stone.

Surrounding the light pillar is a large house with extremely exquisite style. Each building has a blue roof and white walls. There are corridors connecting the ground and the air. Gardens, streams, and small lakes can be seen on the ground. It looks like a large courtyard in a water town on earth. style of.

Obviously, that is the Storm Duke's Thunder Castle.

According to Heya Jiali's description, there is a large semi-independent garden in the northwest corner of Thunder Castle, called Morning Star Garden, which is her residence.

Rosen suspended Sky 2 at an altitude of 2,000 meters, then took out binoculars and carefully observed Thunder Castle. He soon found Morning Star Garden and even saw Heya Jiali.

She was wearing a gorgeous French dress with blue background and gold trim and was walking in the garden.

Naturally, he is not alone. There are many maids behind him, and the loyal Leliana is among them.

In addition, there are two young men with familiar faces, one is Saras and the other is a handsome man named Yuragon.

"Tsk~ Do these two young men really miss my mother-in-law so much?"

Turn your telescope to maximum magnification and take a closer look at your garden.

It can be seen that Heya Jiali was walking in the garden with an expression that was neither salty nor indifferent. She would occasionally say a few words, and she would immediately get a response from the two young mages.

Look at the expressions of the two young mages, one is respectful and the other is indifferent.

After looking around, Rosen's eyes fell on the handsome man Euragon.

To be honest, Yola Gang is really handsome, and his behavior is the calmest, and he has the full air of a good young master in the prosperous world.

Although he was indifferent, there was a hint of passion in his eyes, and he was obviously very interested in the princess.

Rosen had a clear feeling: "I want to marry a princess, and this Yoragon should be my biggest rival."

At this time, the sun had already set below the horizon, and the sky was getting dark at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was getting late, and there was a trace of fatigue on Heya Jiali's face. She waved her hand and sent away the two reluctant escorts. .

When he saw Heya Jiali walking into the main hall of Morning Star Garden, after waiting patiently for a while, and seeing that the sky was completely dark, Rosen took out a disc-shaped communication instrument and gently input the magic power.

This magical weapon was specially made when he participated in the university meeting. There are a pair of them.

One is in his hand and the other is in Heyagali's hand.

Just input mana into one of them, and the gem on the other will shimmer, and a three-dimensional arrow will appear inside the gem, showing the opponent's direction.

After inputting continuously for about a minute, the gem inlaid on the communication instrument flashed, and a flashing arrow appeared, getting brighter and brighter.

Rosen knew that Heya Jiali had quietly flown away from Morning Star Garden and was quickly approaching him.

He opened the hatch and waited patiently.

After a few minutes, a vague figure using invisibility entered the cabin and closed the door with his backhand.

The figure immediately became clear, it was Heya Jiali wearing a blue skirt with gold trim.

As soon as he saw Rosen, he came over and threw himself into his arms, with a look of joy on his face.

"Master, you are finally here. Jiali misses you as much as the overflowing Bilang River. She can't help but want to go to the north to find you."

Bilangjiang is Hanshui River, and the northern border is called Hanshui River. When it reaches the central and southern part of the eastern border, it is called Bilangjiang by the people in the eastern border.

Rosen opened the small bed in the back cabin and sat on it, then let Heya Jiali sit on his lap.

"Jia Li, don't call me "Master" from now on. Just call me Rosen, or just call me "Dear."

Heyajiali thought for a moment and then said: "You don't have to call me master, but you must give me a unique title to reflect your unique position in my heart."

"Hmm~~Let me think about it."

After tilting her head and thinking for a while, she said: "Master, shall I call you brother?"

Rosen shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, Your Highness, I am younger than you. I think it's weird for you to call me brother."

Heya Jiali's face suddenly showed a trace of sadness.

"Master, do you think I'm old?"

Rosen immediately shook his head: "How could it be? Isn't this the most dazzling and gorgeous age?"

Heya Jiali became even more sad: "I heard that Thrandis and Gendeloni are only 23 years old, but I am already 26. Among the master's three wives, I am clearly the oldest."

Seeing her starting to feel sorry for herself, Rosen quickly comforted her: "Kerry, please call me brother from now on."

Then he added: "Although Jiali is the oldest, she is also the biggest here, and I like her the most."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched down along the steep waistline.

As soon as he touched her, Heya Jiali's eyes became blurred, and she snuggled softly into Rosen's arms, biting her lips and saying nothing.

After soothing her for a while, Rosen finally got down to business in a low voice: "Carrie, where should I rest tonight?"

We must find a safe and private place to park this expensive flying instrument.

And this plane is neither big nor small, so it's really hard to find a place like this.

Heya Jiali thought carefully.

Rosen immediately added: "Jia Li, this is the latest improvement. It has many auxiliary functions and can achieve near-perfect stealth at night."

With that said, things suddenly became much simpler.

"Then wait a moment and park at the large storage warehouse in Morning Star Garden later to avoid any accidents."

Rosen naturally had no objection, and then started talking about business.

"When shall I see the Duke? Can it be tomorrow morning?"

Heya Jiali shook her head: "No, just tonight. Later, you wear an invisibility cloak. I will take you quietly to the inner study."

Rosen was startled: "In such a hurry?"

Heyajiali's face looked half embarrassed and half anxious.

"Brother~ I'm really in a hurry. If you don't take action, I'm afraid my father will marry you to Yura Gang."

"Tell me more carefully?"

To be honest, Rosen was not surprised by this, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Heyajia sighed softly and explained in detail: "My father has been collecting debts from the mage guild in the city recently. He is so worried that he can't sleep well."

Rosen said: "Tell me carefully."

In order to prevent accidental leakage, the letter only said something vaguely, but now it was necessary to understand it carefully.

In front of her lover, Heyajiali didn't have any worries about making her family scandal public, and directly exposed her father's background.

"It's not about recruiting mages to sail the giant petrochemical ship. We initially agreed on a hiring fee of 3 million crowns and would pay it off at the end of the year. But there was a rare heavy snowfall some time ago."

"The snow was so heavy that it not only completely blocked the roads, but even crushed many houses and killed many people."

"Moreover, not only Raging Wave City is like this, but several cities such as Bibo City and Broken Leaf City are also like this. A lot of money has been spent on disaster relief."

“Then there wasn’t enough money.”

"Then the Chancellor of Finance issued an IOU to the Mages Guild without telling my father, and agreed to pay half of the commission first, and the other half to be paid six months later."

"As a result, those high-level mages stopped working and forced the guild president, Master Raven, to come to Thunder Castle every day to ask for money."

Rosen was surprised: "Disaster relief is not a bad thing. Those mid-level and high-level mages are not short of money. It's not like they won't give them a few hundred crowns, so why don't they agree?"

Heya Jiali just spread her hands and looked helpless.

"Because the Ocean Lord's construction fee is still unpaid. Added together, each mage owes an average of 700 crowns, and a total of more than 10,000 mages are owed money."

Now that's seven million crowns.

Rosen felt sweat on his forehead: "Is your father-in-law so lavish?"

As soon as Rosen called her father as father-in-law, Heya Jiali felt warm and comfortable in her chest.

She sighed softly: "My father comes up with ideas one after another, but the actual raising of funds depends entirely on his ministers."

"Those ministers are all a bunch of sycophants. In order to please my father, they flattered me louder than thunder. After exposing such a big leak, they couldn't stop it, so the whole thing ended up with my father."

"My father was naturally furious and felt extremely embarrassed. In just one month, three finance ministers were replaced. In the end, no one could solve the problem. After all, no one could change the money."

"Now things are stuck."

Rosen understood.

The finances of Raging Wave City must be very tight, and there is basically no risk reserve, which is almost like walking on a tightrope.

I could barely get through it, but a sudden snowstorm broke the capital chain.

Then a big thunder broke out.

He asked curiously: "What is the specific gap?"

"I don't know. Maybe, maybe, 2.8 million kronor is needed for the time being."

"temporary?"

Heya Jiali looked embarrassed: "To be precise, the debt that blocked the door is 2.8 million kroner short, but I don't know what the debt that didn't block the door is clear."

"We are still sorting out the accounts, but they are very confusing. I estimate that there will be many, many problems uncovered in the end."

Rosen understood, but he wasn't too surprised.

The good news is that the money he brings should be enough to fill the 2.8 million hole, but for more holes, nothing can be done.

It's not a bad thing, because he can use this money to show off his cards with the Duke and make his relationship with Carrie clear, so that his father-in-law won't be worried about selling his daughter.

However, Heya Jiali's opinion must be obtained on this matter: "Jia Li, if I fill this hole, will my father-in-law agree to us being together?"

Heya Jiali's eyes suddenly lit up. She thought carefully and shook her head, with deep worry on her face.

"If this hadn't happened, I might have agreed. But now I can't say for sure."

Speaking of this, she explained in detail.

"The Langley family where Yuragon belongs is extremely wealthy, with an annual income of more than 8 million crowns. This time, in order to marry me, the Langley family teamed up with other Baisha families to urgently raise a huge sum of 30 million crowns."

Speaking of this, the expression on her face was very complicated, including anxiety, shame, disappointment, and uneasiness.

"Anyway, my father is considering selling me to the Langley family. If my brother doesn't show up, I will definitely be sold."

If she is sold and it is discovered that the princess is not pure on her wedding night, the scandal will spread throughout the Golden Land the next day. The princess and those who tarnish her purity will have a very bad end.

Rosen was mentally prepared for this. After thinking about it, he decided to explore the Duke's background first and said, "Then take me to see my father-in-law quietly later."

Heya Jiali was very ashamed: "Brother, it was Jiali who made things difficult for you."

Rosen hugged Heya Jiali tightly and smiled to comfort her.

"It's not embarrassing, it's not embarrassing. I originally planned to spend a sky-high price to marry Carrie. It doesn't matter if I marry her sooner or later."

The Duke may be short of money, but as long as the Lightning Spear is in hand, the crown will not fall.

As long as the crown remains, even if it becomes a little dim, the rewards of marrying a princess will definitely far outweigh the sacrifices.

But having said that, Heya Jiali is indeed a woman that is difficult for mortals to get. 30 million gold crowns is about more than 150 tons of gold.

And hearing what he said, Heya Jiali felt relieved and moved. She gently raised her head and kissed Rosen's lips.

Rosen responded immediately.

So, above the clouds, both of them were immersed in tenderness and sweetness.

It wasn't until 8 o'clock in the evening, when it was completely dark, that Rosen flew the plane, followed Heya Jiali's instructions, and quietly landed in the storage warehouse of Morning Star Garden.

After waiting until about 9 o'clock in the evening, Thunder Castle became completely silent, he put on a high-level invisibility cloak and followed Heya Jiali straight into the inner house of Thunder Castle.
