In the afternoon of the second day, a "Starship" was welcomed to Luce Castle. David looked at the "Starship" in the sky and immediately recognized that it was the standard "Starship" of the Noble Affairs Office.
He came to the Great World of God from the Interstellar Federation on such a "star space ship", so he couldn't mistakenly read it.
Standing beside David, the Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin had a surprised smile on his face when he saw the mark on the 'Starship'.
"Baron Arthur, here is Deputy Chief Garrett, my boss!" Gershwin, Minister of Noble Affairs, said softly to David.
David understood the meaning of the words of the Minister of Noble Affairs of Gershwin. Originally, when he introduced the person, he could know that Deputy Chief Garrett had a higher position than the Minister of Noble Affairs of Gershwin. His boss, the meaning of this is obvious.
The 'Starship' landed on the square of the castle, and three knights jumped off the 'Starship' first. The strength of these three knights was all at the level of the earth knights. After the three knights was a thin old man.
This old man is the Deputy Director Garrett, one of the heads of the Noble Affairs Department.
"I've met the deputy chief!" Gershwin, the minister of aristocratic affairs, quickly stepped forward and saluted.
"Gershwin, you did a great job!" Vice President Garrett praised with a smile.
Due to Dryden's major mistake in investigating the minister, Deputy Chief Colum's power in the Noble Affairs Office was reduced. Although he was not removed from office, Deputy Chief Garrett benefited.
The opinion on the handling of the Minister of Investigation of Dryden has not yet come out, but one thing is certain, that is, Dryden lost the position of Minister of Investigation, and Deputy Chief Colum also lost control of this position. Power went to Deputy Chief Garrett.
The reason why the Noble Affairs Office handed over the position of Minister of Investigation to Deputy Chief Garrett was that he wanted Deputy Chief Garrett to handle Baron Arthur's affairs well.
In any case, the Minister of Investigation of Dryden is a member of the Noble Affairs Office. If Baron Arthur's forgiveness is not obtained, the Noble Affairs Office may not be able to explain to the Supreme Council.
Deputy Chief Garrett's Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin has a good relationship with Baron Arthur. In order to calm Baron Arthur's anger and prevent the impact of this incident from increasing, the Noble Affairs Office needs to let Baron Arthur no longer To investigate, so Deputy Chief Garrett was sent.
"Baron Arthur, I am Deputy Chief Garrett. Although we are meeting for the first time, I am the one who handles your succession affairs. I have been friends with the old Baron Luce for many years, and it was he who entrusted me I took good care of you, I never thought that you would be treated so unfairly!" Deputy Chief Garrett looked at David and said with an apologetic expression on his face.
"I still need to trouble you to come here. In fact, you don't need to come here. Just let Dryden investigate the minister's mistakes and let him pay the due price. For the sake of Minister Gershwin's aristocratic affairs, I will not pursue it anymore." !” David said directly without any persuasion from Deputy Chief Garrett.
David is not going to really sue the Noble Affairs Office. Although the Noble Affairs Office does not take this matter seriously, as long as he stays in the world of the gods, he needs to consider the influence of the Noble Affairs Office.
Anyway, he also got the benefits. It is better to give the favor to Deputy Chief Garrett and the Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin to gain the favor of Deputy Chief Garrett. It is impossible to offend the two deputy chiefs of the Noble Affairs Department.
"Haha, Baron Arthur, even if you don't pursue it, our Noble Affairs Office also needs to make compensation!" Deputy Chief Garrett was very satisfied.
Deputy Director Garrett originally thought that he would persuade him more when he came over, and then David's friend, the Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin, would assist him so that David would not pursue it.
You must know that young people like David, especially those who come from the social environment of the Interstellar Federation, are unwilling to let go easily after being wronged.
Deputy Chief Garrett did not expect that David would say such a thing immediately after seeing him, so he directly came up with the highest compensation plan he had prepared long ago.
"This is a set of courtyards in the inner city of Jianmo City. It was originally an asset managed by the Noble Affairs Office. It was purchased by Deputy Chief Colum with private funds as your compensation!" Deputy Chief Garrett took out a piece of paper and handed it to David said.
When talking about Deputy Chief Colum's private investment, Deputy Chief Garrett couldn't hide his smile at all, it was a joy from the heart.
The old opponent for many years is now at a disadvantage. If he continues to suppress him in the future, it won't be long before Vice President Colum will step down from his seat.
"Then I'll accept it!" David was not polite either. He didn't have many fixed assets on the surface, especially the courtyard in the inner city of Jianmo City, which had a special role.
Learning noble knowledge from Euphemia, let David know that the nobles who usually live in the castle will have other houses in the nearby cities.
The function of the other courtyard is that the nobles can rest in the other courtyard if they cannot return to the castle in time when they go to the city to do business.
Because some important celebrations are held in the city, nobles are very respectful, it is impossible to return to the castle late at night after the celebration, let alone stay in a hotel, that is not in line with the etiquette of the nobles.
Therefore, the other courtyard has become the standard configuration of most castle nobles. The Luce family originally had another courtyard, but it was reluctantly disposed of a long time ago.
If it is not forced, the Luce family will not dispose of Bieyuan. You must know that Bieyuan is a decent castle noble.
Why is the daily consumption of nobles so high? The standard configuration of the other courtyard is a big consumer. In order to maintain the normal operation of the other courtyard, corresponding servants and continuous consumption of divine gold coins are needed.
There is no need to worry about the divine gold coins in David's hand. Even if the batch of divine gold coins obtained from Atkins Castle cannot be used for a short time, his own one million divine gold coins are enough.
"Baron Arthur, you are the most straightforward nobleman I have ever seen!" Deputy Chief Garrett said with a smile, and he continued: "If possible, I will take Dryden back for investigation. Exempted from now on!"
"Of course, Mr. Dryden lives in the guest room, you can take him away at any time!" David accepted the compensation, why would Dryden stay forever.
David personally brought Deputy Chief Garrett to the guest room. When he opened the door, he saw Dryden who was tied to the bed, and Andrew Knight who was standing aside and staring at Dryden.
"Knight Andrew, didn't I ask you to treat Mr. Dryden well?" David said pretending to be angry.
"Lord Baron, this guy always wants to run away, and I have no choice but to do so!" Knight Andrew spread his hands helplessly.
In front of Deputy Chief Garrett, David didn't want to ask too many questions. He didn't believe that ordinary people like Dryden could escape under the guard of Knight Andrew.
"Deputy Chief Garrett, I'm so sorry!" David turned his head and apologized to Deputy Chief Garrett.
"As long as the person is alive!" Vice President Garrett waved his hand indifferently and said.
He didn't care about Dryden's life or death at all. If it wasn't for Dryden to go back for trial, David would have accepted it even if he killed Dryden on the spot.
Who let Dryden's fault cause the death of Master Ix Alchemist, this kind of mistake made Dryden's crime aggravated a lot.
An earth knight behind Deputy Chief Garrett reached out to hold Dryden in his hand, and did not even help Dryden untie the rope in the process.
Deputy Chief Garrett didn't stay in the castle for long, and left Luce Castle after capturing Dryden.
A high-ranking official like him is very busy with affairs. Now that the mission is over, he needs to return immediately.
The Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin also left with Deputy Chief Garrett. During the trial of Dryden, he was a bystander and one of the parties involved, so he needed to go back to be a witness.
Like David is a nobleman, unless it is absolutely necessary, the nobleman does not need to come forward as a witness in person.
The Lord Cagle and Captain Marquis have profound backgrounds, and they are also unable to invite witnesses at any time. The only person on the scene who can accept inquiries at any time is the Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin.
After seeing off a few people, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Butler Jason, accompany me to Jianmer City!" David ordered to Butler Jason.
"Master, I'm going to prepare the carriage right now!" The butler Jason, who had been standing by the side to serve, knew why he was going to Jianmo City, and he responded excitedly in his voice.
The carriage is a four-horse carriage inlaid with silver and carved patterns. The four-horse carriage can only be used by nobles, and ordinary people cannot enjoy this kind of treatment.
No matter how rich a businessman is, he can only use a three-horse carriage or a two-horse carriage. If it exceeds a four-horse carriage, it will be investigated by the Noble Affairs Office.
The four horses are all beautiful white horses, and these are one of the decency of the nobility, even if they are poor, they must be prepared.
Sitting in the carriage, butler Jason did not enter the carriage, but sat with the driver.
David felt the carriage moving, he couldn't help but shook his head, this carriage didn't have any 'alchemy' modification, it looks good but it's just a fake.
Then came the idea of how to modify the carriage, where to draw what pattern, what material to use, etc., all rushed out of his mind.
David knew that this was an instinctive reaction after he got the ability of the 'Master Alchemist'. He was about to try the ability of the 'Master Alchemist', but he didn't know how to get it, so he might as well start with this carriage.
"Go to the Temple of Wealth first!" Thinking of this, David ordered Jason the housekeeper.
At the entrance of the Temple of Wealth, the coachman lowered the carriage ladder, Jason the butler opened the carriage door for David, and David stepped out of the carriage.
The sharp-eyed guide Edna spotted the shadow leopard coat of arms on the carriage when she saw it. She quickly walked over, and when David got off the carriage, she was also in front of the carriage.
"Honorable Lord Baron Arthur, Guide Edna is very happy to serve you!" Guide Edna bowed and saluted.
"Edna, I'm going to trouble you again!" David smiled and greeted the nobles.
Seeing David's standard aristocratic etiquette, Edna's guide couldn't help wondering if the baron who was awkwardly reaching out to her a few days ago was the Baron Arthur in front of him.
"Why is it troublesome? If you have any needs, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to satisfy you!" Edna the guide said with a smile.
"I need some special items, do you have a pen and paper?" David thought for a while and said.
There are many kinds of alchemy raw materials needed, and Edna's guide may not be able to remember them all by dictation alone.
"Please come to the VIP area, where you can be satisfied!" The guide Edna made a welcome salute.
The guide Edna knew how many divine gold coins David had. This kind of big customer was a VIP, and he was the most concerned guest of the Temple of Wealth.
David took Butler Jason and followed guide Edna to the VIP area. David wrote down the items needed on paper and handed them to guide Edna.
"Are you an alchemist?" The guide Edna blurted out after seeing the items on the paper.
But she immediately knew that she was asking too much, and the Temple of Wealth would not ask about the identity of the person who came to handle the affairs.
Not only the guide Edna was curious, but also the butler Jason. He hadn't been with David for a long time, so he didn't know David well.
"I'm just interested in alchemy and want to try it!" David couldn't explain it, so he could only say casually.
"We have all these materials here, and I'll prepare them for you!" Edna, the guide, waved for the staff to come over after finishing speaking, and then made some arrangements in a low voice.
Because the price of alchemy raw materials is stable, Edna's guide did not recommend other places, but directly arranged for the goods to be delivered.
In less than ten minutes, the list of as many as sixty-eight materials turned into a pile of materials on the table.
"Lord Baron Arthur, all the materials you want are here!" Guide Edna pointed to the items on the table and said.
David nodded. Using the knowledge in his mind, he began to examine the alchemy raw materials one by one. This process happened to be the process of consolidating the knowledge in his mind.
The alchemy raw materials of the Temple of Wealth are very good, and there is no problem. Of course, this is also related to the purpose of the Temple of Wealth. The items in the Temple of Wealth can be expensive, but they cannot be fake.
"Very good, I want all of these, how many god metal coins?" David asked after finishing the inspection.
"It's a total of 1,200 divine metal coins!" Edna's guide reported the total value.
David was taken aback, not because he couldn't afford the godly gold coins, but because the value of the alchemy materials exceeded his imagination.
He only calculated the alchemy raw materials for transforming a carriage, and because it is not difficult to transform the pattern of the carriage, and he has the ability of 'Master Alchemy', so he only calculated the alchemy raw materials needed once.
But even so, it still needs 1,200 divine gold coins.
How much is the value of 1,200 divine gold coins? You can calculate it like this. For example, the overhaul of Luce Castle only needs 2,000 divine gold coins. You can use "alchemy" to transform a carriage, which is more than half of the divine gold coins for the overhaul. .
