Alien Knights

Chapter 297: Money stuff

After the three-hour palace meeting ended, Todd, with a tired body, walked along the corridor to the palace under the guidance of Hudgens.

"How are the arrangements for Griffin Henry's board and lodging?"

Huggins froze for a moment, and then replied: "You are talking about the beast? According to your instructions, we arranged it in the stables of the Knights, and prepared barbecue and bread, but the trouble is... …"

Todd stopped, turned his head and said, "Is it attacking humans?"

"That’s not true, but all the horses in the stable were frightened and bitten and kicked and refused to stay where they were. Also, many people ran near the headquarter and tried to climb the wall to enter the stable just to see that one. Battle beasts, the guards tried to disperse them, but the effect was not great."

Todd waved his hand indifferently: "After two days, when the freshness passes, everything will be normal."

Huggins nodded and said yes.

After another 100 meters, Todd looked at the invisible corridor and asked Huggins, "How long will we have to walk?"

"We'll be there in another fifteen minutes."

Todd asked in surprise: "How big is this castle?"

"Two main buildings, five watchtowers, twelve guard towers, thirty-six corridors, two royal gardens in front and one back."

"So big?!"

"The entire palace is only half built. Muxi College is designing the largest, most complex and most gorgeous fountain; Muxi Craftsmen's Association is building a bronze statue of your whole body; commercial unions have purchased a variety of precious treasures from all over the world. Alien Beast, plans to build a hunting ground in the backyard of the palace. In addition, there are observatories, vineyards, racetracks..."

"Wait, wait!" Todd looked at the carpets all the way down the corridor, then looked at the famous oil paintings on the walls, and asked quite troubledly: "Building this palace will cost a lot of money. Right? If I remember correctly, there is not so much money in the holy library!"

Huggins looked at the king with a strange look and sighed: "Your Majesty, please follow me."

After saying this, Hudgens changed the direction of his feet and walked toward the depths of the palace.

Todd followed behind him, through a wide **** below the palace, and into a heavily guarded underground hall similar to a bank counter.

The appearance of the king caused everyone in the hall to stop their work and bow in Todd's direction.

While nodding and smiling, Todd asked in a low voice, "Where is this place?"

"You'll know soon." Huggins continued walking forward.

After passing a few more levels, Huggins stopped in front of a group of people with alien marks on their chests, and said to Todd: "Your Majesty, they need to verify the identity of visitors to ensure that they do not use deformation, charm, possession, etc. Ability. Even you must be checked, please bear with me."

Todd expressed his understanding. After all, Clarence's ability almost caused the collapse of the Kingdom of Muxi, and it is only natural to strengthen the inspection in this area.

After passing the inspection, the two of them moved toward a deeper position under the palace, passed through a peculiar corridor, and then opened a door made of heavy lead plates, and finally came to an underground corridor crisscrossing like a maze.

"What are you hiding under the palace?"

Before Huggins walked to a room, he took out the key in his arms, unlocked the hidden lock in the door, and gently pushed open the door. The dazzling light inside made Todd, who had just adapted to the darkness, narrowed his eyes in discomfort.

"This is?!"

The room is not big, it is only seven meters in length and three meters in height. There is a deep pool dug in the center of the room with various gold coins piled in it, which has overflowed the edge of the pool and is close to the roof. The flames rising from the wall shone on the surface of the gold coins, diffusing bright golden light.

Todd stepped into the room, looked at the gold coins in the room, and did not react for a long time.

Huggins glanced at the register outside the door and said to Todd: "There are 87,435 gold coins stored here. There are currencies used by the southern empire and coins used by the northern barbarians. According to weight and Purity, converted into parish currency, is almost equivalent to 90,000 gold Xu."

Todd finally came back to his senses. He turned his face to Huggins and asked incredulously: "You mean, all this money belongs to me?"

The latter smiled helplessly, and while leading Todd out of the room, he continued along the corridor: "Your Majesty, I think you still haven't figured out the situation."

Huggins led Todd through the labyrinth corridor outside the entrance, walked a further distance, pointed to the countless doors on both sides, and said to the latter: "Please find a door and take a look. Look at the sign on the door."

Walking to a door at random, Todd looked carefully at the sign on the door, which said such words.

On October 13, 1172, it was packed and sealed for a total of 170,000 gold coins.

Switching to another door, Todd looked at the sign again.

The library was closed on October 16, 1172, 7625 grams of special grade gemstones, 16258 grams of first grade gemstones, and 55 boxes of other types.

Todd took a deep breath, pointed to the door of the room and asked Huggins, "How many rooms have been repaired like this?"

"A total of 12o rooms have been built. At present, 1o9 rooms are fully sealed up, gold coins, gems, utensils, antiques, everything..."

Todd felt that his brain was not enough: "Has the total value of these assets been counted?"

Huggins thought for a while and said: "Only Master Mary knows the specific numbers and lists. But all the inventory is roughly equivalent to 4 million to 5 million Jinxu, that is, 40 to 50 million silver moons. And this number is still growing fast."

"I only left for half a year! What did you do?! Did you rob the vault of the Holy See?!"

Hearing the word robbery, Hudgens said with a look of contempt: "Your Majesty, I used to think robbery was a good job. Nobles, after a lot of toss, the dead and wounded soldiers didn't say anything, but the money was only a few hundred thousand Jinxu. Look now, you are sitting in the castle, and wealth is flowing into your treasury continuously."

Todd leaned on the wall with his hands, his head buzzed, and asked in a low voice, "Then how did the money come from?"

"Part of it comes from the operation of the royal family, part comes from the registered patent royalty, part comes from your previous holy treasury, and the rest is taxes and donations."

Huggins raised his eyebrows at Todd: "Your Majesty, you may need to think carefully about how you should spend your money when you come back this time..."

Twilight in the eastern suburbs of West City, immigration area.

A knight in old armor sits in the corner of the ventilated shack, with a simple sword placed beside him.

The knight carefully opened the boiling pot above the firepit, glanced at the steaming oatmeal paste inside, smelled the smell of food mixed with soil and wild vegetables in the air, and swallowed unconsciously.

Standing up and slowly pushing open the door beside him, the knight whispered to the elder lying on the bed, "Master Gordon, the rice is ready."

The bearded elder got up from the bed and said weakly, "Harry, are you the only one here? Where are the others?"

"The tavern in the city lacks a security guard. I heard that Nelger plans to make some extra money for lunch. As for Caponodas and Diez, they both went out early in the morning and said they had found them before they left. A good way to make money..."

The elder grabbed the knight's wrist and said anxiously: "Then did you tell them...?!"

Knight Harry patted the elder's arm lightly, and comforted him: "Master Gordon, please rest assured. Before they go out, I have specially asked them to take off their badges and leave weapons. Do not claim that you are from Mission to the Holy Acropolis."

Gordon nodded vigorously: "Yes, we are away from home. As a member of the mission, we must take into account the image of the Holy Acropolis."

Seeing the impassioned appearance of the head of the envoy, Harry reminded him in a low voice: "My lord, we have no money again."

Gordon asked in surprise: "Did we just sell the mule and horse with luggage yesterday?!"

Harry clutched his fingers and settled an account with the group leader: "We have lived here for a week. The landlord asked us this morning to collect the rent for next week; the horses in the group need fodder, and one of them still I had to find a veterinarian when I was sick; the grain shop at the entrance of the village needs to pay off the previous credit, and..."

"Hey, just tell me directly, how much money is left?"

"Three silver months, plus 17 bronze stars."

"Um... you can buy a rye bread with five copper stars, and a handful of fodder with two copper stars. In this case, we can still..."

Harry interrupted Gordon's calculations: "Head, the account is not calculated like that. Although the prices here are not as outrageous as in the city, they are definitely not cheap. A rye bread can be sold for twelve bronze stars."

Gordon, the head of the envoy, opened his mouth, and it turned into a long sigh in the end.

At this moment, the door of the shack was pushed open vigorously, and a tall young man with calluses on his hands rushed into the room and shouted: "The King Musi is back! The King Musi is back!"

Hearing this, Gordon's eyes widened, he jumped from the bed to the ground, grabbed the shoulders of the person who came, and asked excitedly: "Nelger! King Muxi is really back? Did you hear that right?!"

"It's true! The people in the city are celebrating the return of the king, and the royal family has also issued an announcement saying that a grand dinner will be held the next night to receive the mission of the Holy Acropolis!"

Gordon laughed and said, "We will see King Mussy soon! Our mission can finally be completed!"

The digestion of this news ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ The focus of Knight Harry and the head Gordon is very different.

The former took Nerger and walked to the corner of the room, and once again confirmed: "The announcement really states that it is a grand dinner?"

Neljie's eyes lighted up, and he nodded desperately.

"Is there wine and meat?"

"There is wine and meat!"

Wiping the saliva from his mouth, Knight Harry said to the captain Gordon: "My lord, I have a proposal."...
