Chapter 614 Escape
On such an ordinary day, on such an ordinary afternoon, Arcado received a mission to visit Romer City first in Romer City in his popular science city office, and then rushed to the elves Forest.
Looking at the list of the inspection team, Arcado knew that he had to see it this time, because the leader of the team was an old acquaintance of Arcado and the first friend of Arcado in the Elf Forest.
Yes, the leader is Alger, the original captain of the border patrol team of Elf Forest, who is now one of the husbands of Doris, the general manager of Elf Forest... (Well, Doris has 14 husbands. In order to have more elf princesses to attack Raines, she married 5 husbands in one go).
"Alger! My dear friend! Why did Doris let you come in person? Arcado hugged his first elf forest friend with a smile and said loudly, "Long time no see! I heard that you have been doing well recently. Is it very happy to be the husband of the Elf Queen?
"Doris has been very close to several other men recently. You know that my origin is not perfect. Many times, bloodline and interests are the foundation of everything. In order to train a qualified imperial concubine for His Royal Highness the crown prince of the empire, Doris has almost forgotten me now." Alger complained helplessly.
"Think about it. If Doris knew that you pursued her crazily just because you lost your bet with me, she will not only neglect you, but maybe she will castorate you." Arcado said with a smile.
"Is this a threat? Arcado! The emperor made you much more stingy. In those years, you were so bold that you actually refunded half of the money we used to exchange for elf slaves. Alger said with a wry smile.
Acardo smiled and thought to himself: I didn't know the market at that time, okay? If I knew that the Elf Queen had a golden carriage, I swear I would kill you fiercely!
"Say, Doris, it's definitely not a good thing to throw you, an honest person who is not good at words, to me! What does the Elf Forest want? After the conversation and laughter came to an end, Arcado handed Alger a cup of hot tea and asked with a smile.
Alger was a little guilty. He looked at the maid standing next to Arcado and did not speak for a long time.
"Her name is Lin Ria, and I won't hide anything from her. If you don't say it, get out of here. I don't have time to be shy here with you." Arcado pretended to be angry.
"It's not a secret, I'm just sorry." Alger spread out his hands and said, "I said it's not okay? Doris asked me to plead with Your Majesty to grant a loan of 3 billion gold coins to the Elf Forest in the name of St. Rudolph Royal Imperial Bank.
"Cough." Arcado almost sprayed the tea in his mouth and coughed violently for a long time before recovering: "How much? 3 billion? Hasn't the Elf Forest been exporting food and wood to the orc area? The trade surplus is more than 300 million a year! You can be regarded as one of the richest areas in the empire. What do you need to do with 3 billion yuan?
"Your Majesty, the Elf has launched a comprehensive reconstruction construction plan. The Presbyterian Association hopes that the Empire will support the construction plan including the sister city of St. Luclos, and Port Neil will be expanded 40 times to become the empire's largest dual-use super port, including the Agricultural University and the School of Natural Magic Research. 17 senior universities, in response to the Empire's call to build 2 sports universities, and plans to restore forest vegetation damaged by industry and war, expand economic projects such as tourism, etc..." The more Alger said, the more embarrassed he became, and he did not have the arrogant appearance of those years.
"Doris really dares to think about it! Let me pay for the construction of the whole Elf Forest..." Akado rubbed his nose and said, "I can only borrow 2 billion yuan and have to pay it in four years, because your annual income can't repay interest at all, and St. Rudolph Royal Bank will never do a loss-making business."
"Doris said, Your Majesty, you are very rich now and can earn tens of billions of gold coins every year." Alger raised his head and said, "Can't you generously lend 3 billion to the Elf Forest?"
"Seventy percent of my income has been taken out to build the entire Sword Empire, and your Elf Forest will receive more than 5 billion financial subsidies every year! The orc empire almost asked me to pay more than 4 billion! This is still a number that has not been developed in many orc areas! More than 4 million kilometers of railways across the country still have more than 7 million kilometers of roads that need to be maintained, 500 medium-sized cities and 41 large cities need to improve infrastructure. Last year, the Dofoss River flood, the avalanche in the Bello Mountains, and the plague broke out in Egret City! Speaking of more than 17 billion post-war reconstruction funds in the Yongye area, I borrowed from my own bank!" Arcado sighed and said that he found that if it hadn't been for today, he seemed to have forgotten that he would have faced so many bad things every year.
Lin Ria watched Aka's government affairs for most of the year, squeezed her mouth and smiled, smiled and felt a little distressed. It didn't take long for her to return to Arcado, but she knew that Arcado had been working hard and worked for countless people.
"Well, Your Majesty, Alger finally came once. Why don't give him some thin noodles?" Lin Ria took Arcado's hand: "Alger also took a step back. The empire promised to lend 2.5 billion yuan to the Elf Forest. Alger will stay for dinner with His Majesty in the evening. That's settled!"
After saying that, Lin Ria looked at Arcado again: "You promised 2 billion. You can settle it yourself. I'll borrow the remaining 500 million from Sister Ye Ning. She is a rich woman now."
Alger naturally nodded and agreed. Before he came this time, Doris said at least 2.5 billion. Now that he has completed the task, he will not make an inch.
Along the way, Alger was the imperial concubine Elena who went to meet first and also received a lot of help from it. For example, he knew the weight of Lin Ria in Arcado's heart, so he did not despise Lin Ria because of her maid costume. On the contrary, Alger was even a little afraid of Lin Rhea, so when Lin Ria opened her mouth. After that, the only thing he dared to do was nod.
"Well, since you have the ability to convince Ye Ning, I won't say anything, but you should know that it's not easy to get money from her." Arcado spread out his hands and said, "I'm going to prepare something delicious in the evening. It's not easy for Al outstanding to come once. We have to get together."
As a result, without finishing dinner, a waiter hurried in and whispered a few words in Arcado's ear, which made Arcado almost cough up all the food in his mouth.
"What did you say?" While being patted on the back by Lin Ria, Arcado asked loudly the waiter who came in to inform: "Do you think the orc expedition has arrived? Imperial Concubine Emanda's grandfather led the team?
Acudo looked at Lin Ria and couldn't laugh and cry: "My good boy, this brother-in-law came and asked for 3 billion yuan. How much did this grandpa cost?"
"Vidus! Help me prepare the plane to Kesting!" Arcado said loudly, "Ria! You meet me! Up to 3 billion! I'm leaving!" After saying that, His Majesty the victorious Emperor of the Sword Empire left half of his dinner and left Alger, who was stunned, and fled.
