Captured by trolls
Then escaped back
Colin, of course, did not believe a word of this statement.
In his opinion, after his father died in battle, Valla probably escaped alone and brought back the news that the baron was dead.
This aroused Earl Uman's greed, and he wanted to plot to kill Colin and seize the title of the Angelet family.
Now, Penny suddenly sent such a big gift to Colin through the Tulip Chamber of Commerce. What does it mean
Is it deliberately provocative
Or after seeing that Colin had successfully inherited the title and was valued by the Duke of St. Hilde, he felt that he could no longer do anything, so he began to show his favor
Does Earl Uman know about this
No.
Ke Lin shook his head secretly, thinking that Earl Uman probably didn't know that his lover had sent such a great gift to Colin.
Because this kind of behavior is really unwise in Colin's opinion.
After all, Colin now only suspects that the Uman family tried to assassinate him, and there is no evidence.
Didn't tell anyone else.
Therefore, Ms. Penny's move seems to be very guilty.
As for celebrating Colin's promotion to Viscount, or apologizing for his father's death in battle, these are all excuses for deceiving ghosts.
Fifty thousand gold coins!
This is definitely not a small amount.
Congratulations or apologies, do you need to shed so much blood
With the sophistication and insidiousness that Earl Uman showed before, Colin felt that the earl would never make such a move.
Colin sneered secretly. Although he had never met Count Uman's lover, he had already labeled her a "brainless pretty woman" in his heart.
"Hey! Ms. Penny has a heart. If that's the case, then I'll accept it." Colin showed a sad expression.
But this grief didn't last long and was immediately replaced by a philistine: "However, can the armor be exchanged for gold coins?"
"Clam?" Oliver was about to say polite words, but now he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Isn't this set of enchanted armor worth 50,000 gold coins?" Colin asked naturally.
"right… "
"Then I don't want armor, just give me 50,000 gold coins."
Oliver held back for a long time. Seeing that Colin looked serious and didn't look like he was joking, he nodded constipatedly and said, "If you insist... I can exchange it for gold coins for you..."
Only then did Colin smile and clap his hands, "Okay, thank you Ms. Penny for helping me."
Although it is very impolite and unseemly to exchange gifts from others for gold coins, it is still in person.
But Colin didn't care now.
The expensive cost of forming the cavalry made him want to sell himself. It was rare for a silly woman to send such a big gift at this moment, so he certainly couldn't let it go easily.
What's more, with his vampire's "immortality" characteristic, the enchanted armor is not very useful at all, at most it's just a fascination.
How can there be gold coins!
"Okay, I will convey it for you." Oliver was speechless to the viscount who didn't follow the routine.
But he still took a deep breath and asked, "Master Viscount, regarding the loan, would you like to hear the conditions of our Tulip Chamber of Commerce?"
"Tell me." Colin was in a good mood just after receiving a huge sum of 50,000 gold coins.
If the terms of the loan from the Tulip Chamber of Commerce were reasonable, he would be ready to sign a contract with them directly for the sake of the gift.
Oliver cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "Master Viscount, our Tulip Chamber of Commerce can provide you with a loan of up to 300,000 gold coins, with an annual interest rate of 8% and a term of ten years, and the collateral is the Viscount Land tax revenue for the next ten years."
Colin had asked the butler Aemon in detail about the loan in this world before.
After hearing the conditions of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce at this time, he immediately knew that the other party did not make excessive demands.
In fact, the amount of 300,000 gold coins has exceeded Colin's previous expectations.
With such a huge sum of money, he can even arm a cavalry army of a thousand men!
"Okay! Mr. Oliver, you can go back and prepare the loan documents, I can sign them anytime!"
"Yes, Lord Viscount, happy cooperation!"
"We will have a very pleasant cooperation!" Colin strode towards Oliver and shook hands with him affectionately.
Smile sincerely.
—————
After night fell, the forest on the outskirts of Ice Rock City became more dangerous.
Many wild beasts will start their own hunting under the cover of night.
Therefore, fire light has become the best self-defense weapon for human beings in the forest.
Beside the blazing bonfire, Knight Rego was eating barbecue with Knight Shire, talking and laughing loudly.
There are a dozen accompanying guards around.
The hunt went smoothly this time, and he didn't meet any strange people. Knight Rego was very satisfied.
After eating and drinking, and chattering wildly for a while, Knight Rego bid farewell to Knight Shire, got into his tent, and prepared to rest.
The bonfire was not extinguished, and there were two night guards in the camp.
The night is getting darker, and the moon shyly hides behind the clouds tonight, making the forest even darker.
"Is there any movement?" A guard on duty suddenly asked his companion.
The companion who was about to fall asleep barely opened his sleepy eyes, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"I seem to hear movement over there."
"It's probably a wild cat. I asked about the smell of food residue."
"I gonna go see."
One person stayed away from the bonfire and walked in the direction of the sound.
The companion behind rubbed his eyes, stretched his waist, and then, looking back, he found that the guard who went to check the situation had disappeared.
He was terrified suddenly, and was about to yell, but found that his mouth was covered from behind.
"Boom!"
The back of the head was hit hard, and the guard also fell to the ground.
A tall, lanky figure wearing a steel mask appeared behind the guard.
She went straight to Knight Rhaego's camp and got in.
Knight Rego, who was sleeping, suddenly felt movement around him. He sat up vigilantly, but found that there was no one in front of him.
Just when he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to fall asleep again, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air behind his head.
"Boom!"
Knight Rego fainted immediately.
…
"Rego Knight, Rego Knight?"
Knight Rego opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Knight Shire's anxious eyes.
He sat up instantly and shouted, "Damn it! Someone stole the camp last night!"
"Yes, the two guards were also knocked out, Knight Rego, are you alright?"
"I... Hiss—" Lei Ge felt a dull pain in the back of his head, "It can't be that guy from last time again!"
"The mysterious knight from last time?" Ciel also heard about Rego's encounter last time, and he felt a little sympathetic, "Why does she keep looking for you?"
"How do I know?" Rego muttered unhappily.
At this time, he saw that his wrist was wrapped with a bandage, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with my hand?"
"Oh, we found your hand was cut when we came in, so we bandaged you."
Knight Rego shook his wrist, thinking that there was nothing serious, so he didn't take it to heart.
He stood up, suddenly felt dizzy, and roared depressedly:
"Let's go back to the city right away. This time I will bring the army to search! If you don't believe me, I still can't find that damn female knight!"
