Since a group of people riding a red dragon would definitely cause panic if they charged directly into the city, Lin Tianyin and the others chose to land in a forest not far from the town.
The red dragon flapped its wings impatiently, and its nostrils continuously spewed out the breath of flames. When it landed, the surrounding wild beasts immediately scattered in fright. The scene was no different from the evil demon army attacking a peaceful town...
As soon as he got off the dragon's back, Pizarro immediately shouted that he was not allowed to come to him again, and then rode away quickly on the fire dragon...
"I always feel that this guy is a bit pitiful." Celil looked at Pizarro who was going away and said with emotion.
"Whatever! Anyway, we finally came out of that place." No matter what happened at this moment, Lin Tianyin's joy could not be stopped. She raised her hands happily and cheered loudly, "Long live freedom!!"
A group of people more or less felt the joy of surviving after the catastrophe, and they rushed towards the city along the path. Gruni almost kept his word. As soon as he arrived in Zanet, he immediately rushed into the central bank treasury, saying that he wanted to cash in the rewards to Lin Tianyin and the others.
Can you finally get rich? ! Lin Tianyin happily rubbed her hands with anticipation. Whether she was the second most beautiful girl in her class or became the cannon fodder for this unlucky story, she had never experienced the feeling of being a rich person. The dangers experienced in this way can be regarded as paying back, although she never wants to encounter that kind of thing again.
"Listen, I'm going to withdraw 1 million beni... what? You said you can't find my account?!"
Gruni seemed to have encountered something before the service, and was losing his temper with the staff lady: "Impossible! There must be a mistake somewhere! Look carefully, it is Gruni Lindbum!"
"It's not good yet, the efficiency is so slow..."
Lin Tianyin was sitting on the sofa in the lobby with nothing to do. She began to look at the city. Although their streets and architectural styles were relatively old, the technology was at a very delicate point. The village where Lin Tianyin was born was so backward that she thought she had come to the 18th century, but this exchange city, Zanet, was so prosperous that it looked like a fantasy world. And in this central bank treasury, it is actually the same as the banking system in the real society. There is even a computer-like display screen on each service desk, recording the account of each depositor, and the entire Farus Common to the mainland.
The waiting time was a bit long, and Celier seemed very tired, sitting next to her and began to doze off, while Leo seemed to be very new to everything, and was looking out the window quietly with his back to them. Although I don't know why, this boy always has a worried look on his face.
"What?! You said my account was canceled?!"
Just when Lin Tianyin was also drowsy, she suddenly heard Gruni growling. Lin Tianyin suddenly raised her eyes in doubt, and saw that the old man who was still timid in the belly of the sea monster had returned to the irritable temper of a nouveau riche, yelling at the embarrassing lady staff.
"Where is your person in charge?! Tell your person in charge to come out! Where did you get my money?!"
"Please, please wait a moment." The staff lady went to find their manager in a panic, probably frightened by the old guy's aura.
Seeing this, Lin Tianyin got up from the sofa, walked to Gruni's side, and asked with some doubts, "What's wrong?"
"Those idiots! They said they couldn't find my account!" Gruni gasped and said angrily, "Are you kidding me! I've used their bank for decades! I'm going to sue them to the king!"
"Calm down, maybe the system has gone wrong!" Lin Tianyin quickly comforted him, but she also became nervous at the same time. There was a bad premonition in my heart.
Five minutes later, the staff lady came rushing in with their manager. The manager is a middle-aged man in a tuxedo suit with a moustache and looks very competent. After seeing the angry Gruni, he calmly took out a copy and opened it for him to read in front of Gruni.
"Hi, are you Mr Grune Lindbom? I regret to tell you that three weeks ago your wife and a middle-aged man provided us with the The bill of the Mimichi passenger ship swallowed by the sea monster proves your death. Therefore, your wife, as the legal heir of your estate, applied to cancel your account and transferred your estate to their account. In this regard, we It means that the central bank’s practice is in compliance with the law, and there is no problem in the implementation procedures after they provide the certificate. Therefore, it is recommended that you and your family members negotiate this matter on your own.”
After the manager presented the evidence, he gave him a brief explanation and then saluted him, then quickly got up and left.
"..."
Gruni sat in front of the service desk in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
Lin Tianyin yelled in her heart, what the hell, she really caught on!
The old man's property has been divided! Is this the curse that a brave man must suffer? ! Doomed not to make a fortune? !
"Damn it... That hag dared to do this to me! She even took away all my property with my lover... Just wait and see!"
After all, Gruni was still a shrewd businessman, he quickly recovered from the blow, and furiously expressed that he wanted to give them a good look. Lin Tianyin was actually quite speechless, didn't he also have an illegitimate daughter? Although I heard that he and his first wife have no children... Forget about the fact that the housework between these rich people is too complicated, let's just leave it alone. For the sake of remuneration, Lin Tianyin decided to support Ge Luni.
But the next problem came... A group of people seemed to have no money.
Gruni couldn't withdraw his money, and Lin Tianyin only had 800G left with him, which wasn't even enough for Gruni to take the train back to Wang alone. Is it time to go back to the old business
Lin Tianyin glanced at the monkey riding on Celil's neck, wondering when the monkey had such a good relationship with the pirate leader...
"What's wrong?" Seeing Lin Tianyin looking at him, Celier suddenly tilted his head and asked.
You can't tell him directly that you are planning to use the monkey to rob a rich man... So Lin Tianyin had to change her way of hinting: "Selil, are you rich?"
"Yes, I have."
"If not, otherwise we... what do you have?!"
"Isn't that nonsense, how much do you want to borrow?" Celier glanced at Lin Tianyin, and of course could understand what she really meant, so he turned to Gruni and asked straightforwardly.
"That's great, it was a great help. I'll pay you back double." Gruni rubbed his hands happily when he heard that, and discussed the details with Celier.
Why would a pirate have a bank account? Lin Tianyin raised her own question in surprise, but Celier said that she was rather strange. Usually they also do smuggling business, and usually transfer money directly and anonymously. Moreover, the balance in Celier's account is quite large, which can be called very rich. And this guy also suggested that Lin Tianyin also open an account. The central bank has branches in major cities, so it is very convenient to withdraw and deposit at any time.
"...Forget it, let's talk about it when I have money." Lin Tianyin felt very powerless, and when she thought that the only proletarians in the team were her and Leo, she found that Leo's father, Governor Hailim, actually had a In the account, Leo used his father's ID to find out that there was actually a lot of money in it... In the end, she was the only poorest person.
Is this kid Harpert? ! Seeing this, Lin Tianyin also checked her account, but it showed that the remaining amount was 5G...
It's so unfair! Why didn't she leave any money to her even though she was the descendant of the brave? ! My whole family is too unreliable!
As a last resort, Lin Tianyin had no choice but to ask Celier to borrow money. After becoming a companion in need and going through those things, Celier also straightforwardly asked her how much she wanted. Lin Tianyin was not polite to him, so she borrowed 10,000G and said that she would pay it back when she had the chance.
In short, after discovering that his wife had cheated and transferred his property, Gruni immediately angrily bought a ticket to the capital and was ready to go on the road. And he also sincerely invited Lin Tianyin to be his bodyguard. This proposal made Lin Tianyin feel humiliated, so why didn't he ask Celier, who obviously looks very strong? ! She's just a normal little girl now, okay? ! So he directly refused.
There was regret that could not be concealed in Gruni's eyes, but he still said that if he changed his mind, he was welcome to come to him at any time. The train ticket he bought was for the train tomorrow morning, so they decided to go to the hotel for the night.
"Speaking of which, what are your plans?"
Gruni began to ask about other people's plans, and told Leo that he could become his adopted son if he didn't dislike him. Leo was taken aback for a moment, and then declined without any hesitation.
"...Thank you for your kindness, but I intend to learn more about the world."
Then the young man glanced at Lin Tianyin and said calmly, "If you have no objections, I will temporarily be your companion until you find that black-robed mage."
Lin Tianyin was a little surprised by Leo's decision: "Why? I thought you wouldn't care about these things."
"Do you need a reason for this kind of thing?!"
For some reason, Lin Tianyin's reaction seemed to make Leo a little impatient, and he put down the tableware and left the table suddenly. Lin Tianyin was baffled, but the kid's mentality was not easy to understand, so she turned to Celier and asked, "So what are your plans for the future?"
"Oh, maybe I'm going to find Captain Luka to take back the 'Silver Miracle'." He raised his head and drank a big mouthful of beer, grinning, but his tone seemed very frivolous, "Captain Luka really betrayed me, what should I do?" How can I repay him~"
"Oh, then I wish you the best of luck." Lin Tianyin tore off a piece of chicken thigh, and said casually while chewing.
"However, I'm still a bit reluctant to part like this, although I can guess your answer. But let's ask again, do you want to consider coming to my boat?"
"No, I have a shadow of sea monsters, and I don't want to take a boat again in this life." Lin Tianyin followed his example and took a sip of beer, "I wish you good luck."
"Well, if you want to borrow a boat, you are welcome to come to Cocoroni Treasure Island to find me at any time."
"Thank you (bajibaji)."
After a full meal, everyone began to disperse. This feeling of being in a civilized city is really not so good. Although leaving that nightmare place, the companions will soon fly solo, but Lin Tianyin doesn't feel sad at all. The only thing she cares about now is what happened to Mirona and Gagaff. I don’t know if they have met the prince... In short, she is not under a lot of pressure. Ever since she knew that the real devil is that kind of guy, she suddenly felt that she could do nothing. It's been a while...
However, that night, after losing her figure, Lin Tianyin finally didn't have to wear the clothes that needed to be tied with a rope. She soaked in a hot spring and changed into a normal-sized adventurer suit bought in this city. When she was about to have a good dream in the warm and comfortable bed of the hotel... Mirona appeared in her dream.
Lin Tianyin can be sure that this is definitely not the result she dreamed of... In the dream, Mirona, Gagav and a group of other people who don't know what it is are locked in a crowded cell together, and they are crying to her with tearful eyes. Asked for help: "Sister, where are you, hurry up and save us..."
