Chi'er County City, that governs more than a dozen ordinary cities and many rural towns, and its territory has millions of residents. It can be said that a Chier County city is enough to catch up with a principality.
And a city lord of Chi'er County is also equivalent to the grand duke of a principality!
"When you are fourteen years old, you are about to become the city lord of a county town, which is really enviable." In the taverns of Chi'er County City, many people were talking about it.
The three brothers and sisters of Mrs. Weed were killed in a fire suddenly, which made the complicated struggle for power in Chier County City suddenly clear.
no doubt.
Keene, who has the blood of the Jax family, will definitely inherit the position of the lord of the county town.
"The countess went to raid the house late at night, but she didn't expect to lose her life. It's ironic." An old man with a red beard grabbed a big glass of ale and said with a laugh.
"I heard that it was burned to death." Someone next to him said.
"How could it be killed by fire? There are so many city guards around. If the fire is really burning, how can the countess and the others not escape?" A thin man suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I'll tell you a secret, the countess and the three brothers and sisters. Ah, it was killed by someone and then set on fire."
The people around looked at him immediately.
"It's true." The thin man said confidently.
"Everyone is talking nonsense." A big man said with a sneer, "I am the city guard, I was there that night. Do you know more, or do I know more?"
The thin man immediately laughed dryly: "Big brother, I just said it for fun."
"The countess' mother three brothers and sisters were not killed by fire, they should have been killed by bombing." The big man said rightly, "killed by fire? Wouldn't they call for help? But the brothers in our squadron came from the beginning to the end. The last one didn't hear the cry for help. It must have exploded suddenly, killing the three of them, leaving the three of them without the slightest chance to call for help."
Everyone else nodded, and so did the skinny one.
Obviously, this explanation is very logical.
"Don't worry about Mrs. Weed, now we are in charge of Chi'er County, but those two brothers and sisters." The big man took a sip of wine and said loudly.
…
That's right, Chier County is the most dazzling, but it is Jenny and Keane, who were not very optimistic before.
in the castle of the lord.
"Why so many." Keane flipped through the gift list in his hand, and then looked at the gifts in front of almost the entire room, and couldn't help but be stunned.
As soon as Mrs. Weed died, many nobles immediately approached Keen, sending gifts, beautiful women, and powerful guards... These nobles all know that at Keen's age, I am afraid that in the next hundred years, their families will be affected by Keen's future. The mayor is restricted. Naturally, we need to improve our relationship with each other.
"Not much." Lambert next to him shook his head and said.
Jenny and Keane looked at Lambert in surprise, while Linley was sitting on the side drinking tea.
"Grandpa Lambert, that's not much?" Jenny exclaimed.
Lambert shook his head and said, "Miss, young master, these gifts are estimated to add up to hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Hundreds of thousands of gold coins... Hmph, miss, young master, do you know how much the eldest lady's property is? I estimate, There should be more than ten million gold coins!"
"Over 10 million gold coins?" Jenny and Keane were stunned.
They live in the country, when have they seen such a wealthy person. However, Lambert had been following their mother all the time. He also lived in the castle of the city master and was familiar with many things.
"It's very normal. It's not surprising that I have managed these millions of people for so many years. With the greed of the eldest lady, it's no wonder that you don't have ten million gold coins. It's a pity that we have never been able to find the magic crystal card of the eldest lady. Just to find... I'm afraid that magic crystal. The card also has the fingerprints of the eldest lady. We can't get any gold coins either." Lambert shook his head helplessly.
The rules of the Shikoku Gold Bank are completely beneficial to the Shikoku Gold Bank itself.
After a certain magic crystal card records the fingerprint, the magic crystal card can only be used by one person. It is useless if an outsider steals it.
certainly…
Those who have magic crystal cards can go to the Shikoku Gold Bank and transfer their property to others.
However, if the person with the magic crystal card died suddenly, the property was not transferred. That property will be swallowed up by the Shikoku Gold Bank. In fact, Shikoku Gold Bank can't do it.
The sum of the gold coins in the Magic Crystal Cards issued outside is actually more than ten times the gold coin storage of the Shikoku Gold Bank itself.
But many super rich, so-called 100 million gold coins.
Who will go to the bank to withdraw 100 million gold coins? Take it out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to transport. This is also one of the reasons why Shikoku Jinhang dares to issue so many magic crystal cards. And the Golden Bank of the Four Kingdoms did not dare to spamly issue the Magic Crystal Cards, because it was under the unified management of the four countries, and behind it was the god of war 'O'Brien' and the longest-lived human powerhouse 'High Priest'. No one dares to mess around.
"Ten million gold coins, it's gone." Keane said painfully.
He was really distressed by this huge sum of money.
"Master, being a city lord is not just about collecting wealth. At the same time, you also need to pay some salaries of the city guards, some rebuilding the city, etc., all of which will cost money." Lambert said again.
Keane was startled.
"Ah, it costs money to be the city owner?" Keen didn't know that much.
"So, I said that these hundreds of thousands of gold coins are nothing. Fortunately, there is a fixed treasury in the county seat, and there should be a lot of money in the treasury," Lambert said.
Keane covered his head: "Ah, being the city owner seems to be very painful and complicated."
"Sister." Keane looked at Jenny expectantly, "You must help me."
Jenny nodded very honestly: "Kean, I will definitely help you." This time nodding made Jenny's life painful.
At this moment, Keane, Jenny, and Lambert don't know.
While they were worrying about money, Lin Lei, who was sitting next to him drinking tea, had the wealth of a royal family accumulated over thousands of years. This amount of wealth is astonishing, I am afraid that their clan, the 'Jax family' that has managed the Northwest Province for more than a thousand years, can hardly match it.
After all, no matter how much they make money, they can't catch up with the royal family of the kingdom.
"Jenny, Keene." Linley suddenly said, "You guys stay here, I'll go to practice first."
Jenny and Kean both looked at Linley, and Keane smiled and said, "Brother Lei, don't overdo your practice tonight. You must remember to come to dinner. Today...my sister will cook by herself."
Janney immediately blushed.
Since that banquet, Keane publicly said that Linley was Jenny's fiancé. Many nobles in Chi'er County really think so. Even many servants thought so, which naturally made the girl Jenny shy.
"by the way." lei smiled and waved.
I saw that four large wooden boxes appeared abruptly on the ground of this hall. The wooden boxes were opened and stored various artworks, precious magic crystal cores, and some rare and precious items.
"This is?" Jenny and Keane were confused.
"This is the property of the Holmo family. I don't know the value of the four wooden boxes. It's estimated to be over a million. There's also this." Linley took out eight magic crystal cards. There are eight named magic crystal cards in total, and each one should have a fixed amount of one million gold coins."
Linley heard this from the three brothers and sisters of Mrs. Weed. Only then did I know the limit of this magic crystal card.
"This, this." Jenny, Keane, and even Lambert looked at Linley in surprise.
"It is estimated that it adds up to nearly 10 million gold coins. With these... You don't have to be too tight in managing this Chier County City. Well, I'm going to practice."
Linley threw the eight magic crystal cards into the wooden box, turned his head and left.
Jenny, Keane, and Lambert looked at the four wooden boxes and the eight intricately patterned magic crystal cards, not knowing what to say for a while.
"Sister." Keane looked at Jenny.
Jenny said in a daze: "At the beginning, I asked Brother Lei to protect us and offered him 10,000 gold coins. This..."
Their sister and brother really didn't know what to say. They spent 10,000 gold coins to invite someone, but the other party only took a gold coin deposit. But now there are nearly 10 million gold coins for himself.
Millions of gold coins!
What a terrifying wealth it is.
When the Debs family in the Kingdom of Finlay was at its most glorious, its wealth was nearly 100 million gold coins. Then after the smuggling incident, the family property declined to only ten million gold coins. But even so, it is still a big family in the kingdom of Finlay.
"Miss, Master, this Mr. Lei is really unusual." Lambert's expression was serious.
Jenny and Keane nodded.
Nonsense, give 10 million gold coins at random, is it normal
"Mr. Lei just now, when I waved, four wooden boxes appeared out of thin air. If I expected it well... Mr. Lei has a legendary space ring!" Lambert looked serious.
"Space ring?" Jenny and Keane had never heard of it.
Lambert nodded and said: "Yes, the space ring is a priceless treasure. It is a symbol of status and strength on the Magnolia Continent. A space ring, although legend has it that some people quoted hundreds of millions of gold coins. But I haven't heard of anyone selling it. space ring."
"Hundreds of millions of gold coins?" Jenny and Keane were completely dumbfounded.
If hundreds of millions of gold coins are piled up in front of you, what is the situation? This terrifying wealth, they dare not even think about it.
"In the entire Northwest Province, only the legendary patriarch of the Jax family in charge of the Northwest Province has a space ring." Lambert stayed in Chier County for many years. Some things are also known.
"You mean... Grandpa McKenzie?" Keane said immediately.
The Jax family is most proud of the first-generation patriarch Jax, and the legendary patriarch Mackenzie Jax.
Jax was just an ordinary civilian at the time, but after he joined the army, he rose all the way, and made great contributions to the O'Brien Empire, and finally established a new legion of the O'Brien Empire - the Jax Legion.
Named after Jax, and then the Jax family.
The contemporary emperor even let Jax manage the northwest province, and his favor can be seen from this.
Of course... the first generation of patriarchs were famous for leading soldiers. As for their personal strength, even when they were dying, they were only eighth-level warriors.
And McKenzie Jax is the pride of the family. More than fifty years ago, McKenzie finally stepped into the sanctuary before the age of two hundred.
Sanctuary powerhouse!
There is a strong sanctuary in a family, as long as the strong sanctuary does not die, as long as the family does not rebel, the glory of this family will not decline.
"Grandpa McKenzie has a space ring?" Keane asked in surprise.
"Yes, it was bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor himself back then." Lambert said with emotion, "The Jax family has always been proud of it. You must know that even the kings of some kingdoms in the Yulan continent, few have space rings. ."
Keane and Jenny completely felt the preciousness of the space ring.
"But I didn't expect... Mr. Na Lei actually owns a space ring. No wonder, no wonder he had to put 10 million gold coins in his eyes."
Keane and Janney both had a feeling of holding their breaths.
"If I want to inherit the city lord, I think I have a very high status. I can also do it for Brother Lei's high-ranking officials. But it seems that Brother Lei..." Keen seems to feel it now.
The city lord of a county town is already sky-high for ordinary people.
But for a strong man like Linley, it was nothing, and he just killed him if he wanted to.
