Lord: I have a skill talent tree

The next day, the Nanyo organization suddenly sent a bill to the Sheffield family.

The content is to ask the Sheffield family to pay for the previous military operations to quell the riots in St. Franco.

Including military expenses, casualty subsidies and a series of expenses, the temporary total amount is more than 12 million Malaysian dollars.

The term "provisional total" is used because in this bill, the casualty subsidy only counts the portion of Marlow City.

Casualty subsidies in other areas will need to be supplemented by local leaders.

Of course, it is up to the local rulers to choose whether other regions require casualty subsidies. They can choose not to, but Marlow City must require the Sheffield family to pay this money.

However, the casualty list in Maruo City is very strange. There are only more than 4,000 people in total, but the number of casualty subsidies actually reached more than 3,500.

Everyone who went to quell the chaos together knows that Nanyue sent tens of thousands of troops this time, and the total losses may not even add up to this amount. How could there be so many casualties in Maruo City?

In fact, let alone those who have been there, anyone who knows how to count will have doubts after seeing this data.

It was just to quell a riot, not a war to subjugate the country. How could there be so many casualties?

There must be some moisture in this data.

However, for leaders in other regions, it does not matter whether the data is accurate or not, or even whether it is true or false. What is important is that someone takes the lead.

As the saying goes, you can't make a bastard if you have money, so the leaders of various regions followed suit and asked the Sheffield family to pay, and the figures were exaggerated one by one.

The most exaggerated one was Duke Usis. They sent a total of more than 3,700 people, and the bill showed that all of them were killed, including 80 gold-level knights and 20 great magicians of level 15 or above.

You must know that even if you pull out all the gold-level knights in the Dukedom of Usis, you probably won't be able to get double figures.

But he dared to report the number of 80, because the compensation for a gold-level person is in tens of thousands, and just these 80 people would cost millions.

Although other places are exaggerated, they are at least objectively reasonable, while Duke Usis is not even acting.

When Patsia, the patriarch of the Sheffield family, received these bills, everyone was confused.

The total amount of money is probably hundreds of millions. How can the family afford to pay so much money when it has already been hit hard?

But if you don't pay compensation, it will offend the public.

In the end, he had no choice but to go to his ancestor Valenciunas with the bill.

After Valenciunas heard the whole thing, he frowned first, and then smiled slightly.

"Dear Pasia, you are the clan leader. From now on, you can make your own decisions on such family matters.

If you can't make up your mind, ask Granville and Russell. They are older and have more experience. They have seen many ups and downs and can give you some advice.

I do this not to shirk responsibility, but...

You know there is an ascended person outside who is eyeing us. Now I am the last guarantee of the family. I must not show up easily, let alone let outsiders know the details, otherwise the whole family will be in danger.

However, you were right to come to me this time. You can come to me to discuss any matters related to Ethan in the future. "

"Yes, ancestor! What should we do now?"

"If you want to know what to do, you must first understand the other party's intentions!"

"They have made it clear that they are using their numbers to blackmail!"

"Haha!" Valenciunas smiled softly: "I'm afraid not! This bill should be for me to see.

The Ascended Master already knew that we wanted to deal with him, so he sent a bill through a third party to warn me.

I really didn’t expect that! It is incredible enough to become an ascended person at such a young age, but I didn’t expect that his methods are even better, I admire him! "

Pasia was almost furious when she saw that her ancestor was still in the mood to praise others.

"Ancestor, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do?" Valenciunas smiled bitterly: "There is an ascended person who has full control of the southern region and requires our family to surrender to him. What do you think we should do?"

When Pasia heard this, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Asshole! How dare he humiliate us like this?"

"Haha!" Pacia was furious, but Valenciunas could laugh calmly: "Don't be angry, this world has always been about the weak and the strong. If you are not as strong as others, you have to keep your tail between your legs and be a good person.

Otherwise, not only will the tiger eat you, but there will also be a group of wild wolves behind you waiting to share the food.

This is how our family got here in the beginning, and now it’s nothing more than starting over.

Compared with our ancestors, our starting point today is much higher.

So don't be angry, just take your time! One day, we will be that tiger. "

Hearing such calm words of relief, Pasia felt much better and asked calmly: "Ancestor, what should we do specifically?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the Ascended One should have set up the trap for the Wind Elf Sword this time. He probably took a fancy to the sword! In that case, then give it to him openly.

In addition, the [Sword of Killing] cannot be kept, so it is just a good idea to give it to him as well.

Leaders from other regions should each send some gifts, and this matter should be over. "

"yes"

…

A few days later, Ethan received the Blessed Sword of the Wind Elf from the Sheffield family. Of course, the one sent here must be fake, but it doesn't matter, fake can also become real.

To be honest, Ethan didn't expect that the sword blessed by the wind elves would finally reappear in the world in this way.

However, since the other party sent this sword, it means that the other party does know the truth of the matter and that they don't want to pursue it anymore.

Of course, whether they really don't want to pursue it or not, it is probably only they themselves who know.

Along with the wind sword, there was also the [Sword of Killing].

When Ethan saw the [Sword of Killing], he was a little amused, because another disaster came.

However, it doesn't matter. There are already two disasters. One more is not much, and one less is not much.

In the end, Ethan accepted both gifts.

After Ethan accepted the two gifts, the "Maro Weekly" reported a news.

It was said that the official responsible for counting the casualties accidentally added an extra zero when counting the number of people, resulting in serious confusion in the data.

Fortunately, the auditing official finally discovered the problem and reported it directly for correction. For the trouble caused to the Sheffield family, the Maro City Council expressed deep apologies and made compensation, and would bear half of the cost.

After the news was released in Maro City, other regions also said that their own statistics were wrong. Well, it just happened that everyone is currently recounting.

However, this does not include Duke Richard Usis.

At this time, he was roaring in his office: "Fuck! Are you kidding me!"
