"Now that you haven''t started fighting, I wonder if I can leave?" Seeing his finance minister didn''t seem to displease the mage, at least not yet. The king proposed to leave the court. Anyway, sitter is not so weak, but he has a bad feeling when he sees the balance on the table being fiddled with. So if he can escape, his majesty doesn''t have to stay up, does he?


    However, sitter''s plan did not succeed. The treasurer raised his eyes rarely. His tiny eyes, which were set off by fat, showed a palpable look. "You''d better sit there. I''ve asked the pharmacist. You''re not so weak now. Besides, there are some things you can better talk about here. " The king secretly scolded the pharmacist who was in charge of taking care of himself. If he could, he would rather go to war with the rat man himself than stay here more. Besides being famous for his ability, his finance minister was also well-known from far and wide. He scolded people regardless of their high or low status.


    "Well, I''m done." A few minutes later, the fat minister finally finished his calculation, and when he finished recording the accounts with his last hand, he picked up the parchment on the table. "By my rough calculation, the battle in the throne hall resulted in the loss of at least 3539 Royal gold coins, including the cost of repairing the castle, the cost of the soldiers'' treatment and the purchase of their damaged weapons. This is still calculated according to the market price of the day before yesterday. Do you need me to remind you that in this turbulent period, prices and labor force are doubling every day?... "


    Facing the minister''s endless questions, the king wisely chose silence. If it''s normal, sitter may be able to slap the table to make the other person converge. But physical weakness and a subtle sense of guilt that he did wrong stopped the king from speaking. But sitter didn''t speak, and the cheese went down. "Sir, I don''t think you need to be so aggressive? The damage done to the throne hall was forced by circumstances, and it should not be considered the responsibility of your majesty. "


    "Marcus, Mr. wizard, my name is Marcus Taylor Riel. He is now the head of the Taylor family and an honorary count of the kingdom. " The minister who called himself Marcus glanced at the mage and said, "and since I speak of responsibility, I have to talk to you."


    "Me?"


    "Exactly, sir." Marcus took a piece of parchment out of his hand and handed it to the cheese man. "This is a list of the losses that you have brought to the Kingdom since you appeared in Zhuoluo town. I know that you claimed to have come to help our country out of good intentions, and you are indeed on our side. But I hope you can understand that although the whole country is grateful to you, gratitude can not be exchanged into real gold coins. "


    "So what does that mean?" After only two eyes, the mage saw that he had a bill in his hand, which was full of all kinds of money. Cheese looked at the bill and then at Marcus in front of him. "You''re not going to let me pay for it, are you?"


    "Of course not." The chancellor of the exchequer looked at the wizard with a strange look, as if it was hard to understand why cheese asked such a question. But before the master could breathe a sigh of relief, the man continued, "considering that this bill is huge and you don''t look like you have a lot of money with you, I have listed the best repayment plan for you. It includes payment through labor services and debt repayment with magic props. You can have a look. " Then he took out another piece of parchment and handed it to the cheese. But this time the mage didn''t pick it up.


    "Is that what you mean, your majesty?" Cheese turned to sitter and wondered if the king had been involved in the making of this ridiculous bill. Sitter turned his lips. He really wanted to get out of this damn room. However, as a monarch, he still knows what he should do now. "Although Marcus is the finance minister of Cang lion, I can guarantee that I don''t agree with the bill in your hand."


    "But you have signed an agreement with me. Although you are the king in this respect, as long as I am the chancellor of the exchequer, I will keep the obligation and responsibility of collecting debts from those who damage the property of the kingdom." With that, Marcus solemnly took out a contract with the royal seal from his clothes.


    "I Then I will remove you from the post of treasurer now After a long pause, the king finally thought of the premise that could be used in the other party''s words. As long as Marcus was no longer the finance minister, his contract would be a piece of paper. The king could not help smiling at his wit.


    "According to the law of the king of Cang Lion Kingdom, I don''t know whether it''s because of physical reasons or simply because he doesn''t want to communicate with this troublesome minister. His majesty sitter, the current king of Cang lion, rolled his eyes decisively before he heard it. Cheese even saw the king leaning his head into the chair to cover his ears when he fainted.


    "This is ridiculous. I have a lot of work to do and I don''t have time to waste on these meaningless things Seeing the scene, the mage got up and wanted to leave the study. He''s not interested in spending his energy on that damn bill.


    "It''s not just your subjective opinion that makes sense, sir." Seeing that cheese was going to leave, Marcus took his time to tidy up the paper on his desk. "If you leave this room now, I will think you refuse to pay your debts. As a non native, I can''t do anything to you, but red pupil, that''s the name of the tavern. Sir Jon, as your helper, must be responsible. Oh, of course, in view of your reputation, that glorious trial in which the count of Heishan was innocent will not work at all. "Cheese stopped. He slowly turned his head and looked at the other side''s back. He said, "are you threatening me?"


    He shrugged and said, "my original intention is to state a possibility. But in view of your willingness to pay the debt and the way you behave, I am afraid I have to admit that yes, I am threatening you


    "Hum!" The fierce air burst out from under the cheese robe. With a wave of the mage''s hand, Marcus''s chair suddenly disintegrated and turned into scattered sawdust. Unable to prevent the finance minister sitting on the ground. But this is not over. Cheese throws the deformed bill in his hand into the air. With a little finger, the red flame appears out of thin air and instantly devours the parchment. Then the wizard opened the wooden door of the study and went out. The door slammed behind the cheese, making a dull noise.


    "Are you happy?" About a minute after cheese left, seater got up a little shaky from his chair and looked over his desk at the finance minister who was still sitting on the floor.


    But there was no fear or other negative emotion on Marcus''s face. The fat man just dusted his clothes and got up from the ground. "Well, I didn''t expect his reaction. However, it is also a good thing. The more he values these people, the less he will have a direct conflict with the kingdom. Although he could not be formally placed under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom, it was not impossible to control him by means of human chips. In view of this, I suggest that we should strengthen our contact with the frost corps after the plague has passed. If necessary, we can even consider finding a northerner to be the Lord of Xigu city. I think Jack is a good one. As for the power of the red pupil tavern, you can also send someone to talk to their head. The Kingdom''s intelligence network is old and out of date. Even I have obtained this information by private means. "


    For this minister, sitter can only helplessly shake his head. Sometimes he really didn''t know whether Marcus Taylor Riel was a smart genius or an insane.
