Celestial Mage

Chapter 349 The Duke Who Sells Women (23)

Crescent Land is also about 3000 Lami away from Raging City, or 2600 kilometers.

Afu took Rosen back to the Crescent Territory first, and then rushed to the Flying Fish Islands ahead of schedule.

After Rosen made the final arrangements in New Moon Collar, he drove a new plane and set off urgently to Rage City.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon when we left.

Along the way, I went around Fenceril Island, handed over the ultra-high-precision mana fluctuation detector to Dora, and exchanged it for 5000 Fossa's spell gems from her.

Dora was very generous, and the gems she gave were of high quality. They were all good things collected by Master Turan throughout his life, and the total value was estimated to exceed 50 crowns.

In this way, the total value of the gold coins and gems in Rosen's warehouse has exceeded 450 million crowns, which is a huge amount of money.

He continued on to Raging City.

At six o'clock in the evening, I saw a beam of light connecting the sky and the earth from a distance, and when I flew closer, I saw a vast and boundless building complex on the horizon.

The building complex was divided into two halves by a spacious river. There were densely packed boats of all sizes floating on the river, and the Lord of the Ocean, which had gone to the imperial capital to show off some time ago, quietly docked beside a white embankment.

About less than 300 meters to the north of the embankment is the golden beam of blessing. It is the same level as the crescent collar, and it is a second-level golden glory stone.

Surrounding the beam of light is a large house with an extremely exquisite style. Each house is blue-roofed and white-walled. There are corridors connecting the ground and the air, and gardens, streams, and small lakes can be seen on the ground. It looks like a large courtyard in an earth water town style of.

Apparently, that's Thunderhold in the Lord of Storms.

According to Heya Jiali's description, there is a semi-independent large garden in the northwest corner of Thunder Castle, called Morning Star Garden, which is her residence.

Rosen suspended Sky-2000 at an altitude of [-] meters, took out the binoculars, carefully observed Fort Thunder, and soon found the Morning Star Garden, and even saw Heya Jiali.

She was walking in the garden in a gorgeous French dress with a blue background and gold trim.

Naturally, she was not alone, and there were many maids behind her, among them was the loyal Leliana.

In addition, there are two young men who are also familiar faces, one is Salas, and the other is the handsome Yuragan.

"Tsk~ Do these two young men miss my mother-in-law so much?"

Adjust the magnification of the telescope to the maximum and observe the garden carefully.

It can be seen that Heya Jiali is strolling in the garden, her expression is not salty, and she occasionally says a few words, and the two young mages will immediately respond.

Look at the demeanor of the two young mages again, one respectful and the other indifferent.

After looking around, Rosen's eyes fell on the handsome man Yuragan.

To be honest, Yuragang is really handsome, and his behavior is the most calm, full of the demeanor of Mr. Sheng Shijia.

And although he was indifferent, there was a faint trace of fire in his eyes, obviously he also liked the princess for ten minutes.

Rosen had a clear feeling: "I want to marry the princess, this Yuragan should be my biggest enemy."

At this time, the sun had already fallen below the horizon, and the sky was dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was not early, and Heya Jiali also showed a trace of fatigue on her face. She waved her hand and sent away the two reluctant flower guards. .

After seeing Heya Jiali walk into the main hall of the Morning Star Garden, and waited patiently for a while, seeing that the sky was completely dark, Rosen took out a disc-shaped communication instrument and lightly input mana.

This magic weapon was specially built when he participated in the university meeting, and there is a pair.

One is in his hands and the other is in Heya Jiali's hands.

Just pour mana into one of them, and the gem on the other will show a shimmering light, and a three-dimensional arrow will appear inside the gem, showing the opponent's position.

After inputting continuously for about 1 minute, the gems inlaid on the communication instrument will flash and flash, and a flashing arrow will appear, which will become brighter and brighter.

Rosen knew that Heya Jiali had quietly flown away from the Morning Star Garden and was approaching him quickly.

He opened the hatch and waited patiently.

After a few minutes, a blurry figure who used invisibility entered the cabin and closed the door with his backhand.

The figure also became clear immediately, it was Heya Jiali wearing a blue gold skirt.

As soon as he saw Rosen, he came over and threw himself into his arms with a look of joy.

"Master, you are finally here. Jiali misses you as much as the overflowing Bilang River. She can't help but want to go to the northern border to find you."

The Bilang River is the Hanshui River, which is called the Hanshui River in the north, but when it reaches the south-central part of the East Territory, it is called the Bilang River by the people of the East Territory.

Rosen opened the small bed in the back cabin and sat on it, and let Hejali sit on his lap.

"Carrie, don't call me masters and masters from now on, just call me Rosen, or just call me dear."

He Yajiali thought for a while, and said: "You don't need to be called a master, but you must call it a unique title to reflect your unique position in my heart."

"Hmm~~ Let me think about it."

After tilting her head and thinking for a while, she said, "Master, shall I call you brother?"

Rosen shook his head again and again: "No, no, Your Highness, I'm younger than you, I think it's weird that you call me brother."

A trace of sadness appeared on He Yajiali's face.

"Master, do you think I'm old?"

Rosen shook his head immediately: "How could it be? Isn't it the brightest and most beautiful age now?"

Heya Jiali was even more sad: "I heard that both Serrandis and Gendroni are only 23 years old, but I am already 26. Among the three wives of the master, I am obviously the oldest."

Seeing her complaining about herself, Rosen hurriedly comforted her: "Carrie, call me brother from now on."

Then he said: "Although Jiali is the oldest, she is also the oldest here, and I like it the most."

While speaking, he reached out and touched down the steep waistline.

When he touched her, Heya Jiali's eyes became blurred, she nestled softly in Rosen's arms, bit her lips lightly, and said nothing.

After comforting her for a long time, Rosen spoke softly: "Carrie, where should I rest tonight?"

It is necessary to find a safe and secret place to dock this expensive flying instrument.

And this plane is neither big nor small, so this kind of place is really hard to find.

He Yajiali thought carefully.

Rosen immediately added: "Carrie, this is the latest improvement, with many auxiliary functions added, it can achieve near-perfect stealth at night."

Having said that, things suddenly become much simpler.

"Then let's wait for a while, and park it in the large storage warehouse in Morning Star Garden later, so as not to have any accidents."

Rosen naturally had no objection, and then began to talk about business.

"When shall I see the Duke? Tomorrow morning?"

He Yajiali shook her head: "No, just tonight, later, you wear an invisibility cloak. I will take you to the study in the inner house quietly."

Rosen was taken aback: "In such a hurry?"

He Yajiali showed three points of embarrassment and seven points of anxiety on her face.

"Brother~ I'm really in a hurry. If you don't act, I'm afraid my father will marry Yuragan."

"Tell me more about it?"

To be honest, Rosen wasn't surprised by this, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

He Yajia sighed softly, and explained in detail: "My father is currently being collected by the mage's guild in the city. He is so devastated that he can't sleep well."

Rosen said, "Tell me carefully."

In order to prevent accidental leaks, the letter only said something vaguely, but at this time it is necessary to understand it carefully.

In front of her lover, He Yajiali didn't have any worries about making her family ugly, so she directly exposed her father's background.

"It's not a matter of recruiting mages to open the petrochemical giant ship. At first, we agreed on a hire fee of 300 million kroner, which will be paid at the end of the year. But some time ago, there was a rare heavy snowfall."

"The snow was so heavy that it not only completely blocked the road, but also crushed many houses and killed many people."

"Furthermore, not only Raging City is like this, but several other cities like Bibo City and Suiye City are like this, and they spent a lot of money on disaster relief."

"Then the money just isn't enough."

"Then the Minister of Finance issued an IOU to the Mage Guild without telling my father, agreeing to pay half of the commission first, and pay the other half after half a year."

"As a result, those high-level mages quit and forced the guild leader, Master Lavin, to come to Thunder Castle every day to ask for money."

Rosen was surprised: "Disaster relief is not a bad thing. Those mid-level and high-level mages are not short of money, right? It's not that they won't give it to a few hundred crowns. Why don't you agree?"

He Yajiali spread her hands, her face full of helplessness.

"Because the construction fee of the Master of the Ocean is still owed. Added together, each mage owes an average of 700 crowns, and a total of more than 10000 mages are owed money."

This is 700 million crowns.

Rosen saw sweat on his forehead: "Is my father-in-law so lavish?"

As soon as Luo Sen called her father her father-in-law, He Yajiali felt her chest warm and very comfortable.

She sighed softly: "My father's idea is to risk one by one, but the actual raising of money depends entirely on the ministers under him."

"Those ministers are all a bunch of flattering villains. In order to please my father, they flattered louder than thunder. After making such a big leak, it can't be over. The matter will all fall to my father."

"Naturally, my father was furious, and felt very humiliated. He changed three finance ministers in just one month, but no one could solve the problem. After all, no one could change the money."

"Now things are stuck."

Rosen understood.

Raging Waves City's finances must be very tight, and there is basically no risk reserve, just like walking a tightrope.

I could barely pass the test, but the sudden snowstorm broke the capital chain.

Then a big thunder broke out.

He curiously asked: "How much is the specific gap?"

"I don't know, maybe...maybe, 280 million crowns are needed for the time being."

"temporary?"

He Yajiali looked embarrassed: "To be precise, the debt that is blocked is 280 million crowns, but I don't know much about the debt that is not blocked."

"The accounts are still being sorted out, but the accounts are very confusing. I guess there will be many, many problems in the end."

Rosen understood, but he was not surprised.

The good news is that the money he brings should be enough to fill the $280 million hole, but nothing more.

It's not a bad thing, because he can just use the money to have a showdown with the Duke, clarify his relationship with Jiali, and prevent his father-in-law from worrying about selling his daughter.

But Heya Jiali has to get her opinion on this matter: "Carrie, if I fill this hole, will my father-in-law agree to us being together?"

He Yajiali's eyes lit up suddenly, she thought about it carefully, then shook her head, showing deep worry on her face.

"If it hadn't been for that, it might have been agreed. But it's not certain now."

Speaking of this, she explained in detail.

"The Langley family where Yuragon belongs is very rich, with an annual income of more than 800 million crowns. This time, in order to marry me, the Langley family joined forces with other Baisha families to urgently pool a huge sum of 3000 million crowns."

Speaking of this, her face was very complicated, with anxiety, shame, disappointment, and apprehension.

"Anyway, my father is considering selling me to the Langley family. If my brother doesn't show up, I will definitely be sold."

If it is sold and the princess is found to be impure on the wedding night, the scandal will spread throughout the Golden Land the next day, and the princess and those who defile her purity will have a very bad end.

For this, Rosen was already mentally prepared. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to find out about the Duke first, and said, "Then take me to meet my father-in-law quietly later."

He Yajiali was very ashamed: "Brother, it was Jiali who made things difficult for you."

Rosen hugged Heya Jiali tightly, smiling and comforting.

"No embarrassment, no embarrassment. I planned to spend a sky-high price to marry Jiali. It doesn't matter whether it's early or late."

The duke may be in dire straits for a while, but as long as the lightning spear is in his hand, the crown will not fall.

As long as the crown does not fall, even if it is slightly dimmed, the rewards of marrying a princess will definitely far outweigh the sacrifices.

But having said that, Heya Jiali is indeed a woman that is difficult for ordinary people to get. 3000 million kroner is about 150 tons of gold.

Hearing what he said, He Yajiali was both relieved and moved. She slightly raised her head and kissed Luo Sen's lips.

Rosen responded immediately.

So, above the clouds, both of them were immersed in tenderness and sweetness.

It wasn't until 8 o'clock in the evening, when it was completely dark, that Rosen flew the plane, followed Heya Jiali's instructions, and quietly landed in the storage warehouse of Morning Star Garden.

At about 9 o'clock in the evening, when Thunder Castle was completely silent, he put on a high-grade invisibility cloak, followed Heya Jiali, and went straight into the inner house of Thunder Castle.
