Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

The reason why it is "three days" is because this is the maximum period that "Black Sword Mansion" can give in the follow-up payment process of "Black Sword Mansion" that Luo Xiu is familiar with.

In most cases, customers do not actually carry enough money with them to complete the delivery of the goods as soon as they take the photos. This is the normal state.

"Maximum payment period" is the time when guests go to the corresponding bank or family branch to withdraw money. After obtaining enough money, and then completing the payment of the product price to the mansion, the guest can take away the treasures taken from the mansion, and the transaction is completed at this point.

"Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand", this is the unchanging trading principle pursued by Gongguan.

Although there is a possibility of defaulting on the account and causing the transaction to fail to be completed - in fact, in the history of "Black Sword Mansion", such a thing did happen.

But in this regard, the mansion will not suffer any losses, because before the guest actually pays the price, the lots will be "kept" in the mansion, and beyond the agreed payment period, regardless of whether the guest is still willing to pay the remaining amount. , they all need to pay an extra large amount of liquidated damages, otherwise they will lose their membership qualifications in the "Black Sword Mansion".

"..." Luo Xiu recalled these while thinking about a plan to raise money.

As the plan gradually took shape, the sky turned white, and it was dawn the next morning.

…

The next day, early morning.

——Dong dong dong, a moderately strong and rhythmic knocking on the door.

Luo Xiu ended his thinking and looked at Intis, who was in cat form and was taking a nap on the wall shelf.

Intis Cat jumped off the ground, and after a burst of blue mist filled the air, she transformed into a human form, walked to the door, and opened it.

As expected, the person who knocked on the door was the waiter from the "Black Sword Mansion".

It's just that the gorgeous gilded patterns on the black tuxedo he's wearing are more complex and delicate. His status should be higher than that of an ordinary waiter.

Luo Xiu blindly guessed that he should be a housekeeper, or something similar.

"Good morning, Mr. Hammer." The butler bowed politely and said:

"Excuse me, would it be convenient for you to discuss the details of subsequent transactions with Ms. Niaf, the 'manager' of the mansion?"

"Of course." Luo Xiu nodded and said with a smile, "Please lead the way."

…

Black Sword Mansion, in the main courtyard.

In this beautiful corner of the large courtyard, the mansion has specially designated an area to create a duplex courtyard integrating lakes, gardens and pavilions.

This is the residence of "Night Witch" Niaf, and it is also the main place where she receives the guests of the mansion and handles the affairs of the mansion.

The unique design makes the scenery here unique - when night comes, the stars and moon will be reflected on the lake, and the star lily of the valley in the garden will also emit bright fluorescence like the starry sky; "Night Witch" Ni Yafu lives in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. According to her, "This is the romance that belongs only to the 'dark night'."

"Tower of the Night Witch", this is how Niaf named her courtyard. Although there was no building related to the "Witch Tower", Niaf insisted on calling it that, and the other people in the mansion followed her idea.

However, the word "witch" is taboo in the Nolan Empire where [Lost] is an illegal destiny, so the mansion is called "Tower of Night", which is a relatively official and more accepted name.

"Mr. Hammer, we have arrived at the Tower of Night."

In front of Luo Xiu, the housekeeper bowed slightly to Luo Xiu and said:

"In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Ms. Niaf will be waiting for you there. Please go on your own, Ms. Niaf doesn't like to see us."

The expression on the butler's face showed apology, so Luo Xiu nodded and said, "I understand, sir. Thank you for your guidance and reminder."

The butler didn't respond. He just took a step back, bowed to Luo Xiu again, and then turned around and left.

After watching the housekeeper go away, Luo Xiu said to Intis who was accompanying him: "You stay here, I will go in alone."

"Yes, Lord." Intis nodded slightly and said softly, "I will obey your will."

…

Inside the "Tower of Night".

After letting Intis wait outside, Luo Xiu followed the path and pontoon bridge and soon arrived in front of the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

A deep aura emanated from the pavilion in front of Luo Xiu. It was an undisguised aura belonging to the [Lost] Witch.

Luo Xiu was cautious, and the expression on his face became serious. After staying briefly and watching for a while, he finally took steps and entered the pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, there are various decorations in a girlish and romantic style. Colorfully painted wind chimes hang from the lattice windows, and dolls, delicate sculptures and indoor potted plants can be seen everywhere. They look pleasing to the eye and clearly have been skillfully arranged.

Following the guidance of the profound spiritual aura, Luo Xiu walked lightly to the third floor of the attic.

He smelled a faint and elegant fragrance - it was the same fragrance that he had smelled when "Night Witch" Niaf led the way for Luo Xiu.

And just near the top floor of the attic, after turning around an open door on the hanging steps, Luo Xiu saw the source of the fragrance—the long, silky black hair scattered like a waterfall, and what they covered was A wonderful back view that evokes imagination.

"Night Witch" Niafu, she was lazily lying on the small table by the window, supporting her chin with one hand, looking at the clear sky outside the window in a daze.

"... I'm here, Ms. Niafu."

Behind Niafu, Luo Xiu greeted softly.

The next moment, Luo Xiu suddenly felt that the spirituality emitted by the witch in front of him seemed to tremble for a moment.

A layer of clear light suddenly flashed in Niafu's eyes. She turned her head and looked at Luo Xiu with a smile, her eyes were playful.

"You are here...ah, how do you know my name?"

"... In the main courtyard, the lord called your name, and the waiter who led me here also told me." Luo Xiu answered truthfully.

Now still in the scene of "Black Sword Mansion", the state of "Black Sword Oath" is still valid, and Luo Xiu and Niafu are telling the truth, and they have not deceived anything.

"Oh~ So that's how it is, you actually remembered it..."

Ni Yafu showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then exclaimed "Ah", saying:

"I remember it! It turned out to be you, and you took the photo of the sacred object 'Spiritual Spring', you are really brave!"

"You are flattering." Luo Xiu still answered cautiously.

The greetings ended here, and Ni Yafu restrained her lazy attitude and said:

"Then, let's talk about business... Alas."

"How do you plan to pay the total amount of 213,000 gold coins for the 'Spiritual Spring' and the 'Broken Heart of the Gods'?"

"..."

"It's like this, Ms. Ni Yafu."

Luo Xiu said truthfully: "My assets are basically stored in the 'Gold Country Bank' in Songyuan City. I need to contact their vice president or president to take them out to pay the rest of my money."

"Oh~ I understand," Ni Yafu's eyes flickered, and said, "This is indeed in line with the transaction process, but, We can only wait for three days. "

"Understand." Luo Xiu nodded, "I have learned about the rules of the mansion in advance. Please rest assured that I will complete the transaction according to the process."

"Then there will be no problem." Nia Fu nodded slightly and said:

"Within three days, you need to pay the equivalent of 213,000 Norland gold coins. We accept the commercial bonds of the Golden Country, the gold coins and platinum coins of the Empire."

"After we have counted and confirmed that there are no problems, the broken heart of the god of 'False Vigalo' and the divine object 'Spiritual Spring' will belong to you..."

Nia Fu explained these to Luo Xiu in detail, and Luo Xiu looked like he was listening carefully.

After Nia Fu finished explaining all of this, Luo Xiu nodded solemnly and said:

"I fully understand. After I complete the procedures at the 'Golden Country Bank', I will come to pay the full amount."

"I look forward to it." Nia Fu smiled and stretched out her hand to Luo.

Luo Xiu understood, then gently held the fingertips of Niafu's fingers and shook them three times.

After confirming the transaction process, Luo Xiu asked: "Then, Ms. Niafu, can I leave now?"

"Of course." Niafu nodded gently, "I am looking forward to our next meeting. When that time comes, I want to ask you some other questions."

After talking about these "business matters", Niafu returned to her lazy state again. She lay back on the table, and her slender arms rested on half of her tender cheeks again.

"...Okay." Luo Xiu smiled like a business, and said:

"I also look forward to our next meeting."

...

Leaving the "Tower of Darkness", Luo Xiu returned to the periphery of the courtyard, where Intis was still waiting quietly.

She saw Luo Xiu "safely" walk out of the "Tower of Darkness", and a look of joy appeared on her face.

"You are back... So, where are we going next?" Intis asked.

Facing the worried and happy eyes of Intis, and recalling the panic that Intis had shown when he made a confident offer at the auction before... Luo Xiu suddenly felt that he seemed to understand Intis's mood at this moment.

This time when he met the "Night Witch", she did not tease or embarrass him like she did when they first met... Maybe Lord Gawain's warning worked? Or she was no longer interested in testing me... While thinking, Luo Xiu said to Intis:

"I have already talked to the "Night Witch". Intis, let's leave the "Black Sword Mansion" now."

"After that, you and I will go to the "Gold Country Bank" together."

...

Songyuan City, Golden Country Bank.

Three days have passed since Luo Xiu came here last time.

According to Luo Xiu's calculations, the value of the first two investments he participated in, "Plague Prevention", "Edible Monsters" and "Magic Stone Military Industry", should have increased a little in these three days.

If I don't consider the taxes I have to pay to cash them out, then my total visible assets should have reached more than "2.1 million"... Luo Xiu thought, facing the respectful eyes of the bank waiters, and went straight to the third floor, to the office door of the vice president "Gonzalo Manston".

Luo Xiu knocked on the door gently, and after receiving the gentle approval from the voice inside, he pushed the door open and walked in.

"Ah, it's you! Mr. Luo Xiu!"

Seeing the distinguished guest, Gonzalo put down the newspaper and wine glass in his hand, and greeted Luo Xiu with a joyful voice:

"Are you here to sign another perfect contract with us this time?"

"Oh, of course, Mr. Gonzalo."

A friendly smile appeared on Luo Xiu's face, and he said:

"For you, it is definitely a perfect contract."

"I want to use all my investment assets to sign a "Gambling Agreement" with the "Gold Country Bank" and you."
