After being addicted to alchemy, the lady was kneeled down and licked by the Duke
Chapter 424: The sudden 'trick'
Li Aili's whole day is occupied by various matters.
In the morning, Joanna informed Ruby Moneybags, the president of the Goblin Bank, that she had an urgent meeting.
It was about the 'treasury' of the Emerald City, so Li Aili apologetically turned down the date with the Duke.
Yes, marriage did not cool down the love between the two, but...well, Arthur seems to have become more clingy?
In other words, it's like a lone wolf always hanging around your partner.
"I can't go for the morning hunt. There seems to be some trouble in the Goblin Bank." During breakfast, Li Aili cut through the mess quickly without raising her head, not daring to look at Arthur's expression at this time.
Sure enough, the sound of the knife cutting the steak stopped.
The Duke's voice seemed to be filled with ice, "Is the Goblin Bank in Emerald Valley going to collapse?"
"You have to take care of such a small matter. Are all the civil servants in the city hall idiots?"
Li Aili didn't dare to say anything.
After all, last night, it was only by agreeing to a hunting date today that the Duke, who was still not satisfied, stopped...
"Um, it seems like you haven't taken the knights hunting with you for a long time."
The Duke's face became colder again.
"I mean, as a leader, proper team building activities help..."
His face was cold and dark.
Li Aili felt very guilty, "How about moving our date to the afternoon? You hunt with the knights in the morning, and then we can go on a date again in the afternoon when I come home?"
Arthur's expression softened as he was pleased by the word 'home'.
"Remember that silver dragon?" The Duke continued to cut the steak in his hand.
"The golden dragon and the silver dragon are getting along well. I went to see them yesterday and they had already laid eggs."
Li Aili: "???"
Li Aili: "!!!"
"Really!?" This was something she never expected.
"Well, in the afternoon, we can go open the dragon eggs together."
Generally, during the incubation period, the dragon will strongly resist creatures approaching its eggs.
But Arthur is different. His eyes and heart come from the platinum dragon Caesar. The metal dragon is born to surrender to the platinum bloodline.
In this way, the couple happily finished their lunch and went their separate ways.
Li Aili stood in front of the window of the city hall office, watching the knights in silver riding on horseback.
You can see the excitement written on the faces of the knights.
When hunting, they beat their prey until the ground is full of teeth.
At the training ground, they were beaten to death by swarms of giant activated plants.
Li Ellie turned around, and Ruby Moneybags behind her was still talking.
"God of Wealth, those people can always find all kinds of excuses to refuse to repay the loans we lend."
"Those bastards! Forgive me for using such vulgar language in front of you.
However, when I think about the bad debts in my books, I tend to lose control emotionally. "
"I don't know if you've heard that, but some lazy people have already started to have their own thoughts after hearing this."
"Our auditors have discovered more than one such 'loan fraud' behavior."
"Those lazy people only need to buy a nice outfit, put some effort into tidying up their slovenly appearance, pretend to be five or six people, and rely on their mouths and clever tongues to come to us to defraud loans."
Ruby Moneybags said this, his dark green face was red (angry), and he was breathing heavily.
He took a deep breath and said, "As wise as you are, you will definitely be able to find a way to solve our current predicament."
Li Aili probably finished listening.
The incident originated from an accident a month ago.
A bakery owner who took out a business loan from Goblin Bank was unable to repay the loan due to a fire in his store.
As a result, some people had other ideas.
Prepare to scam the Goblin Bank for a business loan.
Although Li Aili had a trick for the Goblin Bank, she used some methods that made the 'lao Lai' nobles lose face and 'asked' them to repay the money.
But obviously, this trick is ineffective against those local ruffians who are already shameless.
Unless the auditor spends a lot of time and effort doing background checks, Goblin Bank will inevitably have bad debts.
And, it’s a bad start.
Li Aili put down the tea cup in her hand and said under the eager gaze of the goblin: "Do you know about mortgage loans?"
Goblin: "?"
Li Aili explained briefly.
The more the goblin listened, the brighter his eyes became.
Lazy people may not have a job, but they must have a place to sleep.
As we all know, the land in Emerald City is very valuable.
No one would throw away a property worth 1000 gold coins for a business capital of 10 gold coins.
Li Aili raised her eyes and saw the goblin's ready-to-move expression, and immediately guessed that this guy might have something wrong with him.
Very good, now she no longer has to worry about the old man cheating on the loan, but she has to worry about the goblin maliciously destroying the lender's business for the sake of real estate.
"As for business failure due to accidents, I recommend a new project to you called 'insurance'."
In the remaining hour, Li Aili explained the concept of 'insurance' in detail.
The goblin's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened, until they almost turned into "light bulbs" of several thousand watts.
When he left the office, Li Aili breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and looked at the time. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
She stood up and hurried home, eating a simple sandwich on the carriage.
The Duke has returned.
Li Ellie could smell the faint smell of blood in the air in the vestibule, "Arthur is back already?"
The polite butler Conard said: "Yes, His Highness and the knights came back from fighting many high-level monsters."
"Recently, the number of monsters outside the city has increased a lot."
"His Highness said it might be caused by those huge activated crops."
"After all, in addition to being able to fight, those plants contain high magic power and have an excellent taste, which is very suitable for the taste of Warcraft."
Listening, Li Aili nodded, thinking in her mind that in the future, Arthur would be asked to put regular hunting and cleaning up the monsters outside the city on his schedule.
"What about him?"
Conard 'betrayed his boss' and said: "I have washed away the smell of blood and chosen a low-key yet elegant dress. Now I can see the study here waiting for you on the second floor."
Li Aili: "..."
She couldn't help but look up at the window of the study on the second floor, and sure enough, she saw the Duke who looked away as if nothing had happened.
Li Aili couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, "Conrad, has anyone said anything about you? You're actually quite mean-spirited."
Conrad took off his glasses, revealing his devilish pupils, "Really? It's probably because the elderly people have a little childlike innocence."
Li Aili saw the clothes specially chosen by the Duke. The deep blue color matched his eyes very well. It was not as frivolous as sapphire blue, but also brought out the nobility and calmness of the man.
The gems on the cuffs and neckline were also carefully selected.
In short, it looks like a male peacock with its tail spread.
Suddenly, Li Aili felt that she was dressed too casually.
When she goes to City Hall, she always chooses dark colors suitable for formal occasions.
"Then, tell your highness that his wife is going to change her clothes and go to his appointment."
After saying that, she lifted up her skirt gracefully and made a ladylike bow to the Duke who glanced at the window.
Joanna became the 'Emerald Prime Minister', and the position of personal lady-in-waiting was given to Lily.
Li Aili walked into the castle quickly and said to the female officer who followed her: "Dear Lily, help me choose an outfit. I have a date with the Duke in the afternoon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a space door opened beside him, and the devil Claude, whom he had not seen for a long time, came out and said with a subtle expression: "There is a letter here, please sign for it immediately."
Li Aili: "?"
Ever since Hell Express spread all over the world, Claude has lived a life of an 'oil press' for a big capitalist boss.
It's been a long time since he came out to 'work' in person.
Li Aili couldn't help but wonder who invited Claude, the "Devil's Sweatshop".
"Who can let you run the order yourself?" Li Aili took the envelope.
The envelope is black.
Li Aili had a subtle feeling when she took it.
When she opened the letter, she heard Claude rubbing his chin with interest, staring straight at Li Aili and saying, "It's a god."
Li Aili took out the letter and paused.
This is a greeting from a god.
The visit was in a hurry, no wonder the other party entrusted Devil Express.
The next second, there was a cautious knock on the castle door.
Li Aili also saw the signature at the end of the greeting card - "Your sister, Aniana."
Li Aili: "..."
Regarding the 'mysterious woman' who suddenly appeared in front of the gate of the Emerald Castle, wearing a black veil, the knights of the castle seemed to be suddenly 'blind'.
They stood as straight as statues to the left and right of the gate, but no one noticed this 'unexpected' guest.
"Open the door." Li Ellie said calmly to the expressionless Conrad, "And let me tell Arthur that his sister is visiting and the afternoon appointment will be cancelled."
