Novel Bin Chapter 202 202
Chapter 123. Start the Operation!
"Your Highness!"
Prince Yasuo woke up in a daze and found himself surrounded by a group of people.
The guards of the manor, the attendants he had ordered to leave, and the three people who were tied up.
"What\'s wrong with me?"
He wanted to sit up but found that he was weak, and he could not use any strength.
"Your Highness! These people wanted to assassinate you, but they are already under our control. They are waiting for your judgment!"
"I\'m innocent, Your Highness! We\'re innocent!"
Felix cried in a hurry. "We were merely offering you a gift. You were so excited that you passed out for a while. It has nothing to do with an assassination! If there were, would we have been subdued so obediently? Wasn\'t this method too clumsy and stupid?! And you\'re fine now, only a little weak!"
Prince Yasuo suddenly thought of something and looked around, but he did not see any trace of the [Eye of the abyss].
His eyes fell on Char\'s face, noticing that he was looking under the bed. He immediately understood.
"You guys can leave."
"Yes, Your Highness! Men, take them away!"
"Hold on!"
The prince pointed at Char and the other two. "Untie them. They are guests, not assassins."
"Huh?"
The guards looked at each other, but seeing that the prince was fine, they could only do as they were told.
After everyone had left, the prince got off the bed.
Prince Yasuo was a level 50 swordsman with a minor in air-type spells. When he fought, his moves were dazzling and full of tricks. Not to mention his damage output, it was also beautiful. He had a group of fans in Greenland and was known as the "man like the wind," so he was confident.
In his opinion, even though his steps were a little unsteady, he would not need more than a few rounds to deal with the three people in front of him. He could not be more at ease.
In fact, Char would only take a few rounds.
In short, Prince Yasuo was not worried about his safety at all. Instead, he focused his attention on the sword under the bed.
"This is a good sword." He sighed. He wanted to touch it but didn\'t dare to.
How could a swordsman not love the sword?
However, this was not the main reason he was so fond of the sword.
More importantly, he had just experienced the curse.
"I\'m very satisfied with this gift, Felix." The prince raised his head and looked at the fat merchant. "I\'m much more interested in it than your fake crown. Speak. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Felix was so happy that his eyes shone. He lowered his posture and went up to the prince to talk about the huge loan of the Morgenlight Chamber of Commerce.
Felix\'s flattery was too much, and some of his words were too humble, making people uncomfortable. However, the prince seemed to enjoy it.
Taking advantage of this time, Char and Apple Pie sneaked out of the house.
"Hey, what\'s going on?"
Apple Pie couldn\'t help but ask as soon as she came out.
"You can understand it with a little understanding of the elven history." Char explained, "A long time ago, the elves built an empire and almost ruled the continent. The Laurel Crown came from the Laurel Empress, who built the empire. She made 14 crowns, all of which were cursed with [Betrayal]. She gave them to the 14 kings and queens, and in the end, they lost their families."
"But why did she do that?"
"Because those kings and queens have no blood relations with her, and they even killed her heir, causing her to have no offspring. So, it was a carefully planned revenge. Those crowns are strong, but this curse is also strong. Even today, no elf has been able to replicate such a strong curse."
He paused for a moment and looked into the room.
"And now, the Sunfire Court, which is the ruling class of the elves, is looking for these things to figure out what the curse is about. Look at how Elfheim is being bullied by the United Holy Kingdom. They have no choice but to try to improve their technology. The examination just now was to confirm whether there was a curse on the crown, but there was nothing. Naturally, he knew that it was fake."
"So he\'s more satisfied with that sword?"
"Yes, he experienced the curse on the sword, so it can\'t be fake. It\'s like asking for porn videos but getting drawings instead. He\'ll just make do with it. It is a substitute."
After hearing this, Apple Pie couldn\'t help but laugh. She suddenly changed the topic. "Do you want some?"
"Come on," Char ruffled her hair and did not comment.
Apple Pie was even more convinced now.
"Then why do we need to draw his blood?"
"I\'ll tell you later."
Char kept her in suspense.
Half an hour later, Felix walked out with a red face. The three of them thanked the prince and left.
...
In the carriage, Felix handed a few certificates to Char.
They were the proof of the Morgenlight Chamber of Commerce\'s assets, Felix\'s own guarantee, and a loan permit stamped with the prince\'s seal.
-
[Loan Permit]
Only for the use of the Morgenlight Chamber of Commerce.
The holder of this license can apply for a commercial loan from the bank jointly established by the United Holy Kingdom and the Sunfire Court in Elfheim. The allowed amount is 45,000,000 gold coins.]
[Repayment period: 9 months]
-
In reality, the amount would double. It was a tacit understanding between Prince Yasuo and his subordinates. The higher-ups were conservative in their work, and if there were a mistake, the responsibility would be borne by the lower-ranked ones. However, if more money he borrowed were recovered, the benefits would also belong to them.
Therefore, the operational space was much larger than this, depending on the "courage" of the local bank supervisor.
And in the past month and a half, through his relentless efforts, Felix had managed to make this group of people\'s appetites much bigger.
The carriage returned to Pelican Town and stopped in front of the Morgenlight Chamber of Commerce\'s laboratory.
The three entered the laboratory and came to where the Mushmen were working.
"Make sixteen copies for me."
Char slammed the loan permit on the table and took out the can of the prince\'s blood.
Brian leaned over, picked up the paper, looked at it a few times, and threw it to Krillo, who had [Inscription] level 10.
The inscription master looked at it and raised three fingers.
"Three days? Three hours? Three minutes?" Felix asked in confusion.
"Stupid elf, this is a commission! 3,000 gold coins!" Krillo roared.
Felix was stunned. He looked at Char, and the latter shrugged. "The contract only states that they\'ll serve me, but it doesn\'t say it\'s free. Remember. Don\'t ever mention the word \'free\' to the Mushmen. Not even Zin\'rokh can corrupt them \'free.\'"
The fat merchant roughly understood that he had met his match, and his small eyes suddenly widened.
"Let\'s talk, Mr. Krillo."
Full-level [Trade Negotiation], activate!
"Alright!"
Krillo didn\'t back down.
Seeing that the two were at it, Char pulled over Apple Pie.
"Now, let\'s talk about the operation."
