Chapter 175 The only way to solve worries is to get rich
After a long day's journey, Luo Jie, Klein and others finally returned to the royal city before the suspension bridge closed the city.
In order to avoid any unexpected situation, Luo Jie did not even rest. He went to the palace overnight to find the eldest princess "Alicia" and reported to her the incident of finding "the forged stone statue of the Valkyrie" and the specific process.
Unlike other skill-type Valkyrie statues, the importance of this "Forged Valkyrie Stone Statue" is almost strategic. The eldest princess "Alicia" did not dare to neglect at all, and sent heavy troops overnight to destroy this precious stone statue. He was carefully escorted to the Heritage Temple.
"Night Dire, I'm really sorry...the "Forged Valkyrie Stone Statue" you sent back is so precious, so precious that I can't even get equivalent compensation."
After directing the soldiers to stabilize the stone statue, the eldest princess "Alicia" turned around and bowed again, expressing her most sincere apology to Luo Jie.
However, this time she wore thick armor, which was not as sincere as the low-cut dress last time.
Luo Jie silently left a negative review in his heart.
"It doesn't matter. If you can't pay gold coins, you can issue an IOU first... I think such a big Seven Shields Alliance will not owe us time travelers any debts, right? Well, for the sake of our friendship, I can calculate your interest. lesser……"
Not to mention that there are no substantial benefits, even if there are, Luo Jie cannot give up the immediate vested interests just because he can't eat a piece of meat.
Besides, this is not his fault. Klein and the others still have several mouths waiting to be fed.
The eldest princess "Alicia" smiled. As the acting monarch of a country, she naturally understands what it means to distinguish between public and private affairs. She cannot play tricks with Luo Jie like an ordinary little girl... although she does want to do so. Dry.
"Then what do you want? Let's agree in advance. It's too much and I can't afford it."
In fact, Luo Jie never thought about asking the lion to open his mouth. The rags in the Seven Shields Alliance's treasure house were not as good as the equipment on his body. If he hadn't considered that Asuna and others needed equipment, he wouldn't have bothered to open his mouth. This mouth.
"Eight sets of high-quality equipment, plus one hundred thousand gold coins... Well, that's it."
"that's it?"
The eldest princess "Alicia" was a little surprised. It wasn't that Luo Jie asked for too much, but that it was too little.
After all, the "Forged Valkyrie Stone Statue" is different from ordinary Valkyrie statues. It is no exaggeration to say that with this statue, all the blacksmiths in the Seven Shields Kingdom can be freed from making weapons and concentrate on making daily utensils and Agricultural tools, the resulting improvement in overall national strength is simply immeasurable.
If measured in terms of a country's tax revenue, even a 10% increase would be a huge figure of over one million gold coins.
The eldest princess "Alicia" doesn't think her friendship with Luo Jie is worth so much money. She can only think that the other party may have a conversion error due to her new arrival and lack of understanding of the purchasing power of currency.
In fact, her guess was pretty close. Luo Jie really had no idea about prices in this world.
The eldest princess "Alicia" thought for a moment and said: "Then as you said, add the title and palace of a viscount."
Sooner or later, the other party will understand the value of this "Forged Valkyrie Stone Statue", and "Alicia" doesn't want to make Luo Jie, an outstanding time traveler, have a grudge against her because of this small profit.
What's more, she has a feeling that although the other person is currently just a slightly outstanding little person, sooner or later he will grow up to be on an equal footing with her, and even become a giant of the generation that she needs to look up to.
Luo Jie was stunned for a moment, not expecting such an unexpected gain, and then smiled and said: "Your Highness the Princess is really a real person... I will take over the house, but forget about the title. I don't think it's troublesome, and you can't talk to the ministers."
Explain."
The eldest princess "Alicia" shook her head and smiled: "It's just an empty title in name only. The ministers won't say anything...and people without titles can't recruit servants. I'll give you such a big viscount mansion.
You can’t clean and maintain it by yourself, right?”
Luo Jie thought about it, so he didn't refuse.
Procedures need to be drawn up for the title of nobility, and the Viscount Palace needs to be renovated and cleaned. These are rewards that will take a certain amount of time to be realized.
Of course, the equipment and bounties arrived immediately.
Luo Jie identified them one by one, and sure enough, it was just a bunch of E-level green equipment. However, considering that Asuna and others are still wearing the original F white novice equipment, this super-standard equipment can at least withstand their tenth level training.
Already.
"Night Dire Lord, let's continue to upgrade! I feel like we can definitely break through the first level today!"
The powerful equipment greatly boosted the confidence of Klein and others present, and they all complained about the trouble of finding the BOSS on the first floor, which attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern.
Luo Jie raised his hand, and the noise below immediately quieted down. Everyone stared at him intently, with the flame called "ambition" flashing in their eyes.
The vast majority of people here are men. Whether in the real world or another world, who doesn’t want to make contributions and become a master?
It's a pity that Luo Jie's next words are destined to disappoint them.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I followed the brigade before just to adapt to the battle rhythm of this world. I don't like to stay in groups. Asuna and Gui Yanye are my two partners."
While talking, Luo Jie will give the gold coupons he asked for from the eldest princess "Alicia" - something similar to a check or deposit certificate, each worth 10,000 yuan, to Klein and the other six people who participated in the rescue operation.
Divided.
He has never been a solitary person. Although these plot NPCs did not play a major role in the entire rescue process, his courage and sense of justice alone were worth his emotional investment in these people in advance.
"To put it bluntly... you now have levels, money, and equipment. There is no need to follow the traverser brigade to level up anymore. The low efficiency of their people will only slow down the progress of your upgrade. From this rescue
It can be seen from the actions that you people are not lacking in courage, so you might as well go a little further, and don't let the initial advantage gained by luck this time be slowly reviewed by those who come after you, and eventually be lost to everyone."
After leaving some words worth pondering for everyone, Luo Jie stood up and said goodbye to everyone, and left the tavern with Asuna and Gui Yanye with a sigh of regret.
"Night Dire-kun, actually, I don't quite understand..." Asuna, who was walking beside, hesitated to speak.
"Why don't you act together with Klein and the others?"
"I think people like Klein and Sachi have very good characters. We have cooperated very happily before. Wouldn't we be able to take more care of each other when we act together?" Asuna asked in confusion.
Luo Jie stopped, turned around and looked at Asuna and Gui Yanye seriously, and suddenly smiled faintly.
"Because you two want to fly with me, and they are destined to be unable to keep up with our take-off."
Please vote for me... The third update is over, let's go to bed.
