I am surrounded by beauties in the Gods and Demons Game Center
Chapter 22 Is there a choice?
"It's not the person you are talking about. It's the pastor who came with me. Do you remember him?" Dana tried hard not to slap her forehead. She didn't expect that Zhang Wei could get her memory wrong even though he had just met her not long ago. Dana thought that maybe Zhang Wei didn't even remember her own name, even though they had so many close contacts. However, now was not the time to test Zhang Wei's memory.
Zhang Wei said "Oh" twice, indicating that he remembered it. He didn't expect that, by such a coincidence, the dungeon he broke into was actually the pastor's home. He didn't expect that the pastor who was a little socially anxious had a very rich and powerful family.
Seeing that Zhang Wei finally remembered, Dana took out three envelopes sealed with beeswax and explained to Zhang Wei. Although they entered the last floor to receive the reward, they all felt that they were teleported back to the ground entrance in an instant.
In fact, each of them experienced a lot of time passing without realizing it, and each person left the dungeon and arrived at the ground in a different order.
Dana explained that the reason was unknown, but Zhang Wei knew that only God could do such a thing, but Dana didn't say it out loud.
"This was sealed by His Majesty the King himself, with a magic seal cast by the high priest himself. Therefore, no one present knows what is inside. Only you can see it." After Dana finished explaining, she signaled the waiter hiding in the distance to come forward and move the plate in front of Zhang Wei. After the waiter finished his work, she placed the three letters side by side in front of Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei knew that the high priest that Dana mentioned was actually the high priest of the Goddess of Life worshipped by the Holy Light Kingdom. The Goddess of Life was actually also the Goddess of Reincarnation. In some places that worship the God of Death, this ancestor was also a God of Death.
Zhang Wei picked up the first letter, opened it, and took out a piece of paper that looked very expensive. On it was written the first choice given to him by the goddess of life:
The choice is: he can choose to make the territory token a tradable item, but the cost is that his debt to the reincarnation goddess will be multiplied by 200%.
After reading it, Zhang Wei crumpled the paper and threw it on the table without thinking. Although he could sell the territory token to the kingdom after it became a tradable item, thus getting himself out of the current predicament, he could not afford the price. If there was anything more terrible than eternal life, it was to wait for death. Because of various reasons, this deadline was constantly extended. He once thought that it was just an extension of time, and it would pass in a flash. But now he knows how wrong he was.
Zhang Wei quickly picked up the second letter, which gave the second option:
The token is still a bound attribute and cannot be traded. However, Zhang Wei can hire professional agents, replaced nobles or others to manage the territory, but the cost is that the debt will be multiplied by 121%.
Zhang Wei did not crumple the paper into a ball. Instead, he bit a corner of it and opened the third envelope.
After reading the words on the letter, Zhang Wei used the instant fire magic Candlelight (level 1) to burn the letter.
When the Lionheart Knight Henry saw Zhang Wei burning the third letter, he subconsciously pulled the sword out of the scabbard a little. However, he thought that he was no match for Zhang Wei and that there were too many mysteries in Zhang Wei, so he put the sword back into the scabbard.
Zhang Wei was already in a bad mood after reading the three letters. He saw the little action of Henry the Lionheart Knight just now, so he taunted: "What? The dog owner said that if I don't choose the third proposal, he will kill me, right?"
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he tapped the number "three" marked on the third letter with his fingers.
Henry the Lionhearted Knight did not answer, which was considered as his agreement.
Dana also knew that the king's little trick had been seen through by Zhang Wei. Although she didn't know what was written in the letter, she could guess that the content of the third letter was obviously most beneficial to the king, but most disadvantageous to Zhang Wei, so Zhang Wei was so angry that he burned it directly.
"As for the territory, you will definitely not let me take it for free. Tell me, what are the conditions?" Zhang Wei asked Dana directly. The letter paper on his mouth was still stuck to his lower lip. As he spoke, the letter paper moved up and down.
"The territory must pay a certain amount of taxes to the Marquis. If you don't want to fulfill your obligation to send troops, you have to pay extra money." Dana stated the first condition.
"Okay." Zhang Wei agreed.
"Within ten years, an additional 10 billion dinars must be paid to the royal family and 100 million dinars to Viscount Rosales. A late payment penalty of 20% per year will be charged for overdue payments." Dana gave the second condition.
Zhang Wei was silent for a moment, then asked, "Anything else?"
Dana shook her head, indicating that there was no more. Zhang Wei had not said whether he was willing to accept the second condition, so she waited in silence for Zhang Wei's answer. If Zhang Wei disagreed, then they would have to fight. The royal family would rather turn the entire Viscount Rosales's original territory into scorched earth than give it to Zhang Wei for nothing.
Zhang Wei did not answer immediately, but asked Viscount Rosales: "Sir Viscount, how many generations has your territory been passed down?"
When Viscount Rosales saw Zhang Wei talking to him, he straightened his sitting position and said, "I am the third generation."
Zhang Wei listened, nodded, and then said, "It's been quite a long time."
"Indeed, each of our family heads has made the development of the territory the top priority, which is why we have the current prosperity and prosperity." Viscount Rosales is very proud of the construction of the territory. If Zhang Wei had not stolen his love, he would have planned a development plan for the next five years.
Zhang Wei suddenly changed the subject and said, "One hundred million is not a lot, but it's not a small amount either. But even if you go to the capital to survive, without the protection of the territory, even if you get the one hundred million, you won't be able to withstand being frequently blackmailed, right?"
When Viscount Rosales heard Zhang Wei talking about this, he rubbed his nose and said nothing, because what Zhang Wei said was the truth. Even if Zhang Wei could really give him 100 million dinars in real money within ten years, without the protection of the territory and the territory's soldiers, he would not be able to keep the money for long.
For a noble who has lost power but is rich, any jackal, tiger or leopard will come and take a bite, and when he is not even qualified to be bitten, he will really be reduced to waiting for death. Even if my daughter is successful in her career, according to the current economic situation of the kingdom, she can support herself, but how can we expect her to support a large family?
Zhang Wei saw Viscount Rosales looking thoughtful, and he knew that he had touched the Viscount's sore spot, so he said, "Let's sign a bet agreement."
When Viscount Rosales heard this, he exclaimed in surprise...
