I raise elves in Florian

"However, Lady Frilian, you just said that the flow of supplies to the northern plateau has been interrupted."

Philon asked Frilian, puzzled.

"Yes, I don't know exactly what happened either. Things always change with the passage of time. Perhaps the Norm Merchant Guild is no longer as glorious as it once was."

Even so, they still wield considerable influence on the northern plateau, so it's best for us to keep a low profile.

Frilian spoke earnestly to Philon and Shutark, saying that since they were on someone else's turf, it was best not to be too arrogant. They were only staying here briefly and would be leaving soon.

"Yes, Lady Frilian."

Philon nodded in response.

Frilian led Philon and Shutark into the fortress city, but they had to register first, otherwise they wouldn't be allowed in.

As Frilian walked forward, a figure appeared behind her and immediately covered her eyes.

"Guess who I am."

A strange voice came from behind Frillie.

"Yichen, stop fooling around."

Frilian didn't need to think to know who was behind her. After all, they had been together for thousands of years and knew each other very well, even knowing exactly how many hairs were on each other's bodies.

"What a joke, it has no energy at all."

Shi Yichen listlessly released his hand from covering Frilian's eyes. There was nothing he could do about it; the two of them knew each other too well, able to tell what the other was thinking with just a glance.

"Is Celia done with her business?"

Frilian took Shi Yichen's hand and held it tightly.

"Yes, it's done."

As Shi Yichen spoke, he kissed Frilian on the forehead.

"That's good, now you can finally spend time with me."

Frilian looked at Shi Yichen with a smile. She could keep her company again, and she wouldn't have to suffer from sleepless nights anymore.

"Let's go! We'll register first, then we'll take you to eat something delicious."

Shi Yichen smiled and said to Frilian and the others, since they had arrived earlier and had taken a walk around first, so of course she knew where the good restaurants were.

"Ah."

With a smile, Frilian followed Shi Yichen into the Norm Merchant Guild headquarters.

During registration, everything went smoothly for Shi Yichen, Philen, and Shutark, but when they got to Frilian's place...

"Hmm? And this is...?"

The receptionist glanced at Frillie, then took out a register and started flipping through it. When she compared the photo in the register with Frillie in front of her, the receptionist immediately became tense.

Please wait a moment.

As she spoke, the receptionist pushed open the door behind her and went inside. It was unclear what she was doing, but her expression seemed somewhat unnatural.

"How is this going?"

Hugh Tarek scratched his head.

"What happened?"

Philon looked on with a puzzled expression.

"Lady Frilian, our guild master requests your presence."

A moment later, the receptionist returned and spoke to Frillie with a respectful expression.

"Is there a problem?"

Frillie looked at the receptionist with a puzzled expression.

"Please come with me, our leader will tell you."

The receptionist gestured for Frillie to enter.

"I can go, but they have to come with me, otherwise I won't go."

Frillie pointed to Shi Yichen and Philon and said to the receptionist.

"Then please follow me."

After hesitating for a moment, the receptionist agreed to Frilian's request and led the group to the office of the president of the Norm Merchant Guild.

. . . . . .

President's Office.

“My name is Norm, and I am the president of this chamber of commerce.”

Norm introduced himself to Shi Yichen and the others.

"You are the mage among the heroes, Lady Frillian, right? Please repay us the money you borrowed eighty years ago, with interest."

President Norm said to Frilian.

Upon hearing this, Frillie's face immediately turned pimple-eyed.

"Oh, I see."

Shi Yichen looked at Frillie with some surprise. No wonder she brought them here; it turned out she was here to pay for it.

"Lady Frilian, have you ever borrowed money here before?"

Philon looked at Frillie with some surprise. She had borrowed money for eighty years and hadn't paid it back. Was that really okay?

"I borrowed some before..."

Frillie said helplessly that she hadn't borrowed it alone; she had borrowed it together with Simmel and the others.

"But I remember you said back then that it could be returned anytime..."

Frilian looked at Guild Master Norm with some confusion.

"Let me see. This clause wasn't written on the IOU at the time. A verbal agreement doesn't count. The previous two chairmen were too naive on this point. I'm different."

President Norm produced an IOU from eighty years ago, which showed that Simmel and the others had borrowed money. It did not specify when Frilian would repay the money, as she had said.

So how much does it cost?

Shi Yichen looked at Guild Master Norm with disdain. She could tell that this jerk was deliberately making things difficult for Frilian, and that he had other motives as well.

"Including principal and interest, it has exceeded five hundred Huthlar gold coins. Even if converted into Lars gold coins, which are the most influential in the northern countries, it would still exceed three hundred. Do you have the funds to pay this amount?"

President Norm said to Shi Yichen and the others with a confident expression, convinced that they couldn't possibly come up with the money, as it was a considerable fortune.

(To put it simply, it's around tens of millions.)

"let me see."

Frillie took out all the money she had on her.

“Three Huthlar gold coins, twenty Larshi gold coins, and some silver and copper coins.”

Frillie counted all her savings, which was almost the assets of an ordinary nobleman.

(Frilian had several million dollars on her at the end of the day.)

"Clap!"

A bag full of gold coins was thrown onto the table in front of Guild Master Norm.

"There are five hundred Larthy gold coins in here. The extra amount is a token of our gratitude to the old guild master for taking care of Frilian and the others eighty years ago."

Shi Yichen casually tossed a bag of Larshi gold coins in front of Guild Master Norm. Since it was a debt owed by Frilian and the others, then she would pay it back.

"Ugh!"

Guild Master Norm stared in disbelief at the bag of Larshi gold coins in front of him. Who could possibly produce five hundred Larshi gold coins so easily? Even their own guild would find it difficult to come up with five hundred Larshi gold coins.

(Just like how Frilian owed Norm tens of millions, and Shi Yichen helped Frilian pay off more than 100 million, simple and clear.)

"Now that the matter has been resolved, Frilian, let's go."

As Shi Yichen spoke, he took Frilian's hand and gestured for Philon and the others to follow, and the group walked out.
