“You guys have calculated it very clearly. It seems that you have made sufficient preparations beforehand.”
“Of course. After all, we are taking food from a tiger’s mouth. How could we come here unprepared?”
?
“Is the person you arranged in the medium crystal reliable?”
“An ordinary mage. Even though he works for the Mercenary Guild, his monthly income is only 30 silver coins. We only need to let him accidentally knock on the medium crystal and he will be able to earn 10,000 gold coins. In addition, he doesn’t have any specialties, but he still has the dream of becoming rich...”
Before Lei Luo could finish his words, he was interrupted by Priest Robert.
“All right, we won’t discuss this person, but if the magicians of the senate sense it, they would rush over as well.”
“What a coincidence. On that day, a part of the teleportation magic circle of the Senate was damaged and could not be used, and one person would receive another ten thousand gold coins.”
Priest Robert sat quietly.
He began to think of any loopholes in this matter.
The reason why his reaction was slow was not that he was much dumber than Lei Luo.
After all, he was once an independent lord.
However, he had never thought of doing such a dirty trick in his life, so it was understandable that his reaction was quite slow.
“If you want to get so many gold coins, you need to send a carriage to get them. If you want to get so many gold coins, you need a special carriage team to get them. Moreover, it will take time for your carriage team to go to the mercenary guild’s vault to receive the money. If the mercenary guild reacts during this time, what will you do?”
“Once we confirm that the thief quest’s vault has given this amount of gold coins, we will immediately exchange this money into silver coins through the exchange firm. Then, all the silver coins will be transferred into a designated amethyst card, and then it will mysteriously disappear.”
“Trading firm exchange? Gold coins for silver coins, just the handling fee alone will lose two-thirds.”
“That doesn’t matter. We only need to triple the number of times that quest is submitted.”
“How can you ensure that the mercenary guild won’t be able to find out after your silver coins enter the Chamber of Commerce?”
Hearing Lei Luo Point at him, Morton said confidently, “My partner was once the most outstanding boss of the trading firm in the third province. He was once the President of Morton Chamber of Commerce.”
“Speaking of these methods, I know more than the Mercenary Guild.”
“If that mage is caught, then...”
“We are registered with the lowest level mercenary group. The highest level of missions we can accept is F-grade. The businesses that accept gold coins may leave traces behind.”
“However, the people you mentioned above will disappear without a trace within the empire, as if they never existed in this world.”
When Lei Luo said this, he looked at Priest Robert and smiled.
“Since you were once an outstanding lord, I think you should know that to the masses of civilians, the senate is simply a tax collection agency.”
“It doesn’t have a strong governing mechanism for the common people. Those seemingly strict management systems are only effective for honest people, but it’s meaningless for smart people.”
“Okay, one last question. How much money do you want from the senate and the Mercenary Guild?”
“Ninety million gold coins, and we just promised the president twenty million gold coins. We will get the remaining money.”
Priest Robert picked up the teacup and drank a mouthful of water. When he put down the teacup, he said, “Then I’m afraid you can only get fifty million gold coins.”
Morton immediately raised his head and glared at Priest Robert.
Meanwhile, Lei Luo was filled with resentment, but he still smiled and said, “President, I’m afraid this is not very fair, right?”
“There’s nothing unfair about it. You can make other evidence and insiders disappear, but you can’t make an insider disappear, because he still has to manage the livelihood of thousands of refugees.”
“Even if it’s a secret fee, it won’t be as much as forty million, right?” Lei Luo answered with a smile.
“If it’s a secret fee, of course it won’t be that much, but if you add in the responsibility fee, then this price can be considered benevolent and righteous.”
When Priest Robert said this, he also glanced at Lei Luo.
“Everything you’ve done seems to be ingenious, but in reality, there can only be one result, and that is to have the senate assembly point all the blame at me. In the end, they will definitely think that all of this was instigated by me behind the scenes. Do you think that this responsibility is worth forty million?”
“Even so, the senate is only guessing and there is no direct evidence. They have no way to punish you.”
“Our society needs to ask for money from the Senate every year.”
“According to the rules of the senate and the Citizens’ Congress, each union cannot lose more than 100 million, while we only need 90 million. Therefore, the impact of this matter is limited to the mercenary union.”
“The nobles in the senate won’t even know about this matter, so this matter has no effect on you applying for assistance from the senate.”
“Fifty million is the highest price I have given. I believe that the amount of money you have invested in this matter so far will not exceed 30,000 gold coins. This is a thousand times the profit, you should be satisfied.”
After Priest Robert finished speaking, he turned his face away.
Lei Luo and Morton looked at each other. They knew that they could not win against this priest.
“All right, that’s it then. We have two addresses here. These are the two key figures that we promised to pay 10,000 gold coins to. Please give them the money within three days.”
Lei Luo shook his head helplessly.
A week later, the church of salvation issued an F-class bandit mission.
They claimed that their church was attacked by unknown bandits.
Because of the help of adventurers, they captured the bandit leader during the battle and obtained his blood.
But they claimed that the cunning bandit leader escaped while the guards were caught off guard.
The Salvation Society was extremely indignant about the attack on the church.
Hence, they issued this mission.
They also changed the method of completing the mission from wiping out the enemy bandit group to capturing the leader of the bandits.
As long as the blood and magic authentication were completed, the mission would be considered completed.
The reward for this mission was 10,000 gold coins, which was the highest reward for an F-grade bandit mission.
The mission had been released for a whole week, but no lord or mercenary group had found any information about this bandit leader.
