Rhodes scratched his head, feeling an unknown premonition.
"I...can, please believe me, Your Excellency Dalin."
The wrinkles on Dalin's face stretched out, revealing a smile.
"It's not about asking me to believe in you, but asking everyone to believe in you, and asking all the 100 million people of Trorian to believe in you."
"If you can do this, your name will be immortal in the history of mankind. Thousands of years later, when people mention you, they will also know that there is a black bastard who brings hope to everyone." Rhode's face darkened, it would be better not to know.
Dalin took out a letter of appointment and a medal from the table.
"You have become the mayor of Fanxing Town as a defender. Since it is still immersed in the darkness where monsters are rampant, the royal city will not pay you any regional salary."
"You have also obtained the command authority of a battle group as a third-level commander. You also have the power to form your own battle group, but except for them, you need to pay all the salaries yourself."
Rhodes' heart ached a little.
A Mavis costs 8,000 silver cords, and his weekly salary is only 5,000 silver cords. After raising her, she will only have 2,300 silver cords left.
"Not only that, you will bear all the expenses of the battle yourself, and the royal city can only give you part of the material support."
"Because it is an advance experiment, you can only bear the cost of developing Fanxing Town yourself, but accordingly, your loot can also be freely sold to the Royal City."
Rhodes opened his eyes wide. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?
Just raising one Mavis will make me a pauper. How much does it cost to open a town? Can I afford it?
Horus coughed and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. The four-month-long black tide has caused us huge losses. The gaps in all aspects of the royal city are very large. The elders are not willing to spend any more money for the expansion operations they oppose.
A penny out."
"In addition to canceling the flesh and blood mill, Wang's new law has been delayed as a whole, and there is really no money financially."
Dalin took out a contract sheet and said: "Considering your situation, we have contacted the giant merchants in Maihara for you, and they can provide you with a loan at a lower interest rate."
Rhodes opened his eyes wide: "What are giant merchants? Why don't you cut them off if you are short of money?"
Horus looked at Rhodes seriously.
"I find that some of your ideas are very dangerous, even more radical than Jon's. The giant merchants of Maihara are legal merchants who fully abide by the laws of the royal city. They engage in normal trade and production activities and provide us with a large amount of tax revenue and stable income.
Order."
Rhodes frowned and said: "Then what should we do when we are facing life and death?"
Horus replied righteously: "It is the duty of every citizen to dedicate everything to Trorian."
Rhodes glanced at him speechlessly, you are not stupid at all, really.
Molly leaned over and pushed the contract sheet in front of Rhodes.
"This is a loan guaranteed by the Ministry of Military War for you, 300,000 silver cords, 50% interest rate, repayable within one year."
Rhodes was shocked.
"50% interest rate? Isn't this a money grab?"
Molly pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and said coldly: "If Mr. Dalin hadn't guaranteed it for you, they wouldn't have been willing to borrow money for such a high-risk project."
"The giant businessmen think this is a rubbish salary ticket that cannot recover the cost and can only create a lot of bad debts. They only agreed to borrow money because of their relationship with Mr. Dalin."
"And Maihara, the leader of the giant businessman, also bluntly said that you are a waste. He does not see any hope of success in you. If you can repay it within three months, he will not ask for interest rates."
Rhodes' fists clenched instantly.
"Okay! I borrowed it!"
"Signing here, please pay attention to this line of small print. The year recognized above is the shortest year of 330 days. If you deny this, then it will be calculated according to the longest year of 515 days stipulated in the royal city."
"It's the same here. The shortest month has 22 days, and the longest month has 63 days. There is a big gap."
"Be careful not to sign this item. It is of no use, but it will turn your loan into a weekly compound interest model, and you will pay back a lot of money."
"Oh! Are these profiteers devils?"
After avoiding several minefields under Molly's guidance, Rod finally signed all the names.
I finally understand why there is only weekly salary but not monthly salary and annual salary.
Only one week is fixed.
Molly put away the contract.
"You will receive the money within three days. According to my duties, the money will be managed by me, but the repayment will be done by you."
For some reason, Rhodes suddenly felt like he was in a mid-life crisis.
This feeling was so bad that he got rid of it immediately.
"Your Excellency Dalin, can I apply to transfer people from the Silver Oath to my team?"
Dalin smoked a cigarette, thought for a while and then replied.
"Forbidden things are not allowed, but taboos are allowed."
"Are they different?"
"Forbidden objects are transformed monsters. They cannot go deep into the darkness, otherwise they will lose control. Forbidden objects are humans, who are bound by the Silver Oath only because of certain taboo issues."
Horus said expressionlessly: "In the old days, they were people who should have been executed long ago. It was the king's mercy that gave them the right to live."
"I want Mavis."
Dalin frowned and smoked silently without answering.
Horus said coldly: "Anyone other than her will do. If you just want a woman, I can arrange for you the most beautiful healing nun in the church to go with you."
Rhodes was moved in his heart and asked: "Then can you arrange a nun group for me?"
Veins were clearly visible on Horus’ dry face.
"This is impossible! The Board of Elders will not allow such a transfer, and the salaries of all of them are paid by you. You don't have that much money! I can only give you one spot!"
Rhodes thought for a long time, then suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and shouted: "I want Aunt Uther."
Everyone's expressions became extremely strange, and only Dalin smiled.

"Yuser Ironthorn is not only a central healer, but has also completed all combat courses by himself. He is a powerful combatant. This personnel is very cost-effective."
Horus also came back to his senses and said, "Okay."
"Then I want Mavis!"
"No!"
"Then I want Lord Alan!"
Horus shouted angrily: "Are you dreaming? Can you mobilize the four knights? To use the highest combat power of the royal city, you need to convene a joint meeting of all military operations. Your action is experimental in nature, and even high-level combatants are not involved.
May be approved."
"Then I want Mavis!"
Horus' hard face was about to burst.
"Change someone else!"
"I want her. I made an agreement with her, but others don't agree. It's very troublesome to mobilize her."
These words made Horus shaken.
In the end, after Rhodes repeatedly tried to persuade him, he agreed.
But he warned: "Don't abuse the power of Mavis. Once there is an abnormality in the curse seal, the Silver Oath will automatically trigger soul countermeasures, ranging from coma to death on the spot."
Rhodes felt a chill in his heart, remembering the first time he and Mavis went hunting for the Demon of the Abyss.
No wonder Mavis fell into a coma that time.
I thought she was overusing her power, but it turned out to be normal when she froze the more powerful Corruption Dragon.
It seems that the degree of her seal is controlled by the Silver Oath. It will be unlocked in stronger battles, but it will be stricter in daily life.
Rhodes thought for a while and asked: "Is there a switch that controls the degree of her seal? Can you give it to me?"
Horus sneered: "Stop dreaming. The Silver Oath is a forbidden armed force affiliated with the Royal City. The supervision and containment department under it has only half a level lower authority than mine. As long as Mavis says no, we can't transfer him."
, the opponents will get in the way."
"Okay..."
Rhodes gave up in disappointment, and then asked about the mobilization of the secret branch troops.
Originally, he just wanted to mobilize a few friends to come in, but Dalin came up with a better plan.
The essence of the establishment of Jinworth's secret branch force is to select students who are more suitable for growing up in combat and assign them the most suitable combat environment to achieve rapid growth.
If Fanxing Town can become such an area, it can receive regular support.
Considering Rhodes' relationship with the hidden branch, this is very likely to be successful.
The matter was basically settled here. Finally, Dalin told him that the City of Stars had been classified into the twelfth defense zone, and Fanxing Town theoretically also belonged to the twelfth defense zone.
If you encounter trouble that is difficult to solve, you can try to seek help from Qingyu, the guardian of the twelfth defense zone. It may be useful.
This is good news. He and Miss Qingyu have quite a connection.
Looking at it this way, he still received a lot of help.
Then I saw the row of powerful items that had been prepared in the dream.
