When Austin walked out of the ordinary viscount residence, he still did not give out any of the ordinary things. Just like the First Prince Parell, he also had a displeased look on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of joy and excitement as he sold him out.
After Austin left, he went back to meet his mother. At this time, Madam Liz and Tiffana were having a happy conversation, and felt that it was very strange. It was possible that his mother was the one who would tame these big and careless fake little girls. Ji Chu, Uri and Yue Yang would definitely not chat with the two girls, they had long gone off to play.
That night, entertained Tiffana, Yuri and the others with a normal dinner. After sending them all away, Peaceman ran to the ordinary room excitedly, even the two dragons had come, and they knew that Austin had come by before.
Seeing Peaceman, he clapped his hands and said loudly: "Praise the supreme God of Light, my dear master, my beloved young master, you are my light, my sun, my everything …" Before he could finish, Pingfan interrupted him and asked, "How much do you want?"
Peaceman almost choked to death, then nagged unhappily: "Really, I have never finished speaking once, it's just that I have never seen the 50 billion Magi Crystal Card before, and am not here to ask for money."
He threw two Magi Crystal Card s to the two dragons and said, "Take one person for a billion gold coins to heap up your house. I will not give you the rest of the money that I have."
The two dragons were happy, they took the Magi Crystal Card and ran, then set up a magic Barrier, and the two of them muttered for a while, after that, Peaceman soullessly left the normal living quarters.
As for the other group of Imperial Guards, he had long since withdrawn. In fact, he should have already called for the other group of Imperial Guards s to give their rewards to the other party yesterday, but the result of the duel was too unexpected for Emperor, so he could only change his original plan and re-study it with his advisor. He definitely could not seal the original fertile ground for Ji Family, but he definitely could not choose a place that was too important, if not, the old flame bird would not easily bite into it.
When he came to the palace again, with an ordinary position, he could only stand in an awkward corner. After Emperor came over, he started to discuss the country's affairs with the ministers in an old-fashioned manner, and after he heard a few things, he lost all interest in listening. These things were not things that he could understand, and the conflicts of interest and scheming were not things that he could understand.
It was not until the discussion was over did Emperor ask: "Is there anything else we can report? If not, then that's it for today. "
At this time, the Palace Chief Archmage Cameron coughed and reminded them, "Your Majesty, at that time you promised to reward the victor of the duel the day before yesterday. The victor of the duel today, the Mr. Pingfan, is already waiting for you."
The emperor said, "Oh. Then, as if he just remembered something, he asked," Then where is the Apprentice Mage Ordinary? " He cursed silently in his heart. This was a show of force to him, he was being ruthless!
He walked up to the stage and bowed deeply. He didn't say a word, just stood there and listened to what the Emperor had to say. His Majesty looked at the expressionless face and felt uncomfortable. How did this guy train himself? He had tried looking at himself in the mirror for so long and insisted that his wooden face could not last for more than ten minutes. Look at him again. I wonder how his mother taught him since he was young to teach such a freak!
The Emperor looked at him and said in a deep voice, "The trainee mage is ordinary, although I am very ashamed of your method of winning the competition, but after all, you have won this duel, as a reward for you, but at the same time, as a punishment for you, I will bestow upon you the title of Count of Slime, bestowing you the title of territory through Windfire Island, and every year you will receive a tax of two million gold coins, you are not allowed to decline, you are not allowed to reject it, or else you will be punished with the crime of a nation!"
A series of light coughs sounded out, the many officials in the hall all forced themselves not to laugh. The count of Slime s, as a gift from Windfire Island, the tax on it increased by several fold, Emperor really wanted it to come out! Wasn't this an open extortion? Forget about humans, even giant dragons and phoenixes would find it difficult to enter that place.
The Old Duke Ji walked out in displeasure and said: "Your Majesty, this subject objects! "You're overdoing it. How can you give such a terrible title and return it to a land that has no output at all?!"
Emperor had a look of displeasure on his face as he said, "Duke, is it really too much to throw such a disgusting person into a beautiful Princess? "Sir Duke, please tell the truth in the name of your Knight. If you think that this is not enough, then I can remove his title and his fiefdom."
After listening to Emperor's strict and righteous question, Old Duke Ji could not help but sigh and leave. Emperor felt great in his heart, and said with a smile, "Duke, don't be like this, I promise, as long as ordinary people perform enough meritorious deeds for the Empire, I will change him to a Marquis and grant him a new feudal fiefdom." Old Duke pouted his lips, thinking to himself, how am I supposed to give you a sweet date after hitting his? It was still an illusory sweet date.
The Emperor continued to speak with a stern face: "Apprentice Mr. Mage, do you have any objections?"
There was still no expression on his ordinary face. He bowed and said, "Since Your Majesty has decided, I will honor your order."
One of the ministers beside him reminded him kindly: "Lord Count, you should call me your subject, not me. In this hall, only Emperor and those who do not have a noble title can call me."
"I'm sorry, I..." he said. "Well, since Your Majesty has requested so, I will pay you the tax first. Hmm, just pay it for a hundred years, and if Your Majesty is willing to help in the future, there is no need to change the feudal fiefdom. I will just do it there, I am not lacking in this." As he spoke, he took out two hundred million gold coins from the Space Ring and handed it over.
He was rich! He was definitely rich! The guard hands trembled as he handed the Magi Crystal Card worth two hundred million gold coins to the emperor. Emperor took a look at it and quickly stored it in his own Space Ring, then revealed an expression that said "I'll consider you to be a good person".
"Your Majesty, this subject feels that the palace you are living in now is too old. This subject has a copy of the design of the palace from the Era of the Gods, and wishes to present it to Your Majesty for further inspection. If you still think that it's worth it, this subject is willing to contribute money to the construction of a new palace for Your Majesty as per the plan."
As he said that, he took out a piece of paper and handed it over. Emperor took it and opened it, his eyes immediately popped out, the palace and scenery in the picture was too beautiful, it was a style he had never seen before, a type of spectacular and beautiful scene. Emperor's eyes couldn't leave this map for a long time.
The nobles stretched their necks to look up. They were all curious, just what kind of painting could captivate His Majesty? After a while, Pingfan coughed and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think of this palace?"
Emperor finally regained his senses and praised: "Alright! Good! Good! "Ordinary Count, if you really can build this palace, I will reward you handsomely!"
When the officials below heard this, their hearts started to itch. Old Duke Ji was the first to speak out, "Could Your Majesty show that map to this official?" The emperor reluctantly handed the map over to the guards and the guards handed it over to Old Duke. When he opened the map and took a look, he was shocked. The crowd of officials beside him gathered around to take a look. At that time, there was a wave of exclamations, the scene on the picture was as captivating as a fairyland, no wonder the Emperor was so absent-minded.
The Old Duke passed the picture in his hand to a senior official to pass down. He asked Xian Pingfan: "How much time would it take to repair such a palace? How much money would it cost?"
With a calm smile, he continued, "If Your Majesty is able to gather enough Mage s, it would only take half a year to finish. The cost would be around a billion gold coins, and if we just rely on the average manpower to repair it, it would take thirty years.
"What? One billion gold coins!" The Emperor was shocked by these words. It wasn't that the imperial family lacked money, but it definitely didn't have enough to afford the one billion gold coins needed to build a imperial palace. Thus, when they heard the ordinary words, they were all stunned.
Old Duke Ji was startled, then shouted angrily: "You actually used one billion gold to build a palace, I don't agree!"
After he finished listening, Ordinary glanced at him but did not say anything. Old Duke Ji was even angrier this time and bellowed: "Bastard! Didn't you hear what I said? I said I didn't agree with you using a billion gold to build a house that could only be used for living. You should use that gold where you need it more. "
Duke, please take note of your image, I feel that there is no reason for you to be angry like this. Gold coins do not come from the treasury, much less from your pocket, and it is not something that you can plunder people either. He spoke in an indifferent tone.
Although these ordinary words were not loud, everyone in the hall could hear it clearly. These two sentences were like two "crackling sounds", and fiercely slapped Old Duke Ji twice in the face.
However, they were absolutely right! He trembled as he pointed at the calmness, but the indifference on his face was still the same as before. In the end, he forcefully squeezed out a few words: "Good, good, good, that money was earned by you, I don't care, I don't care, you're amazing!" With that, Old Duke swung his hand and returned back to his seat.
All the people in the hall were stunned, Reinhardt also walked over with a gloomy face and said to Ping Pingfan: "Brat, do you know what you're doing?!"
He looked at him and said, "Of course, I'm more awake than ever before." Reinhardt shook his head and went back to his seat without saying a word. Following that, the pro-Ji Family and Levin family ministers all shook their heads, looking ordinary and ordinary. Pingfan sneered. "It seems people like me can't have money. If I have money, I should die even more. I should die even if I put it in my hand, I should die if I spend it. I should die if I spend it for myself, but I should die if I spend it for others."
The Old Duke Ji and Reinhardt were stunned hearing these ordinary words. They looked at ordinary things in deep thought, trying to figure out what he wanted to do.
With that, he turned around and walked to the side of the minister who had reminded him that he should call himself a vassal, took out a piece of Magi Crystal Card and stuffed it into his hands: "Sir, I am able to differentiate between gratitude and grudges, I have never owed anyone any favors, and I thank you very much for your reminder just now, it's nothing, please buy some wine." With that, he bowed and bowed towards the Emperor above. Without waiting for his orders, he turned and walked down the hall.
The official looked at the Magi Crystal Card in his hand and exclaimed, "Ten million gold coins!" After which, he rolled his eyes and fainted. Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded. Ten million gold coins to buy wine, even a giant dragon would drown in wine!
This time, he was going to throw out several hundred million gold coins. Soon after, the Foundation posted a notice, the Virgin Mary sent one gold coin to each of the citizens of Capital, the poor citizens sent five gold coins to each of them, causing the entire Capital to become empty and filled with tens of thousands of people. Following which, another message came, the Virgin Mary announced that the Foundation would be extended to the outside world, with one billion gold coins as the starting fund. Following that, Virgin Mary donated 10 million gold to the Church to repair the church, donated 10 million to improve the Royal Academy, and contributed 10 million to clean up the Capital environment …
In less than two days, she had spent a total of nearly three billion gold coins. This time, everyone knew about the Virgin Mary, Liz, and her son.
Every single official received 1 million gold coins as a gift to Emperor's palace, which was worth 1 billion gold coins. None of the officials and Emperor s who received the gold coins could say anything else, because if this was a bribe, then all of the officials and officials in the entire Burton Empire had been bribed by him, and only a few officials confiscated the 1 million gold coins. The commoners even donated the gold coins to the Foundation in their own names.
The Emperor, the Four Great Clans' Ji Family, the Levin family, and the manor's families were all researching the ordinary purpose of doing so, and only the Sabelas Family expressed its anger over this. It heard that the old Duke Walser had thrown hundreds of bowls one night, and requested a month's sick leave from the Emperor the next day. It was said that he was so angry that he had contracted some kind of serious illness.
Inside the secret room, and the three carriages under his command called for a secret meeting. Peaceman wiped the cold sweat on his head and gasped for air, looked at him with a normal smile, and said: "Peaceman, it's not that hot yet, you shouldn't be like this, right?"
Peaceman very impolitely rolled his eyes: "My dear young master, seeing the gold coins rolling away from me like a raging flood, I am about to be paralyzed. Ask Adam and Mr. Barton how they feel, it's too terrifying.
Barton stroked his beard and sighed, "I finally understand what you mean, young master. After a certain amount of money reaches a certain amount, it's just a pile of numbers, and I don't feel anything for money anymore. It's no different from stone or tile."
After hearing that, Adam nodded his head heavily to express his agreement. He carefully asked, "Young master, can we really earn that gold back?"
Ordinary laughed out loud, "Of course! If people were like this, money would come easily and be spent quickly. When they became extravagant, it would be difficult to change them. This was called 'thriving from frugality', while extravagant spending was difficult to achieve. Moreover, now that I have stirred up a storm, even if someone wanted to assassinate me, they would not have the chance. Furthermore, we used the gold coins to advertise, and when the time comes, as long as we send all the things that Mr. Barton made out, we can guarantee that the money would flow back. "
After hearing the ordinary words, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief. Then, they said, "Let's talk about the land that the Emperor gave me. What exactly is the location of the Windfire Island?"
The three of them bitterly laughed and shook their heads. Peaceman said: "You don't even know Windfire Island, looks like you should really go study at the Royal Academy." This Windfire Island was located in the ocean between the Sofia Continent and the Anras Continent. It was an island, and the area of this island was extremely large. It was basically circular, and was around the size of several hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. The island's position was very special. Not only was it located between two continents, it was also located at the intersection of the ocean and the sea. As a result, the surroundings were densely filled with whirlpools and dark streams. The thickness of the electric net is over a hundred kilometers, and even the Mage cannot fly across it. I heard that there is a huge volcano in the center of the island that sprays fire all year round, that's why this place is called Windfire Island. "
"What is the situation on the island?"
Peaceman said: "I'm not sure, I only heard that all of them were hot lava and there were no living beings. Of course, all of this came from the mouths of the fishermen who escaped the storm, but no one has ever seen the situation inside the island. In hundreds of thousands of years, no one has ever been able to reach this island."
Adam said bitterly, "The fact that His Majesty sealed this place to you is clearly a form of blackmail!"
Barton continued, "This is the hypocrisy of you humans. Even though you clearly know it's a scam, you can't not listen to him.
Ping Pingfan closed his eyes and thought for a while before saying lightly, "This place might not be worthless, but don't worry about it for now. Let's wait until I have some time. Let's figure out what to do next." Mr. Barton, the success or failure rate now all depends on you. "
