Chapter 179 Bone Dragon Flying
Link Harbour, lobby.
The personal maid Edwina was depressed in the hall with a letter from home. No one could care.
Now Adewina and Delia have both advanced to the Sanctuary Warriors, and their flying and various enchanting carriers are also loaded on them.
However, what made Edwina so depressed today was Edwina's uneasy family. Edwina was born in the Baron family and her ancestors were Sacred Warriors. However, this Sacred Warrior passed away more than a hundred years ago.
Later generations only inherited the titles of the subsequent generation of warriors in the Holy Land, but because of the decline of family background, they quickly could not afford to inherit the baron's funds and became declining nobles.
In fact, there are still several high-level warriors and mages in Edwina's family, but it is not this one from Edwina's family.
The big family will disperse after the important person in the lead dies. Simply put, it means losing the centripetal force.
Today, Edwina received a letter from home, which said that the family had no money and could not get rid of the blame. Let Edwina support it. It would be better to have ten thousand gold coins, without ten thousand gold coins, and 5,800 gold coins.
But Edwina didn't have much money. Although Edwina had been with Link for five years, every month it only increased from twenty silver coins a month to thirty silver coins a month now.
Of course, Edwina doesn't need to spend money here, and this money is usually used by the little sisters to play cards and make chips.
In the past five years, Edwina saved only a dozen gold coins and hundreds of silver coins.
The gap is too big, Edwina can't even think of it. If she doesn't buy a title, how could she need so much money?
The first one was the eldest sister-in-law, Phoenix of the 19th level: "I can't help you. I only have dozens of gold coins around me. Although this is the case at home, I haven't had a time to ask for so much money."
Delia also said, "Your family has no sisters to get married, how could it cost so much money at once? The owner bought us back then, but it cost 20,000 gold coins. It's only a few years now, and in five years, the 20,000 gold coins are gone. I'll get two thousand gold coins every year when I buy bonds."
Edwina: "The letter said that I have lost some business in recent years. Recently, my elder brother is going to get married again. The other party is the daughter of a noble family. The show is relatively large, so I spend more money."
Veranika said bluntly: "Speak up or not, do you believe it yourself. The daughter of the great nobleman looks down on him. I have seen your eldest brother. Which noble daughter is so blind to him."
In fact, Veranika's words are too much. Edwina's elder brother, if you only look at the surface, he is indeed a young man. But the young man is a young man, and he will lose even if he invests with others. This kind of vision is indeed a problem. Such people are suitable for buying bonds and the most suitable person to use income to retire.
However, before the investment fails, everyone thinks they are the investment genius.
Mary Gis had a similar experience: "If you ask me, just send a few gold coins and tell them that your money is so much. It's better if you can't starve to death, you can't take care of so many things."
Edwina nodded: "I have to do this."
After Edwina was in Link Harbor, she realized that making money was not that easy. Most of the workers worked for a month and earned only twenty or thirty silver coins, which was a small amount of money that had to support the family. The family had basically never made money, and they lived by selling their ancestors' inheritance. The reason why they dared to ask for money was because they knew that their master was rich.
However, the owner's money belongs to the master, not to the maid. Even if the owner pampers himself, there are so many maids in the house and there is a mistress here, he always needs to take a bowl of water to serve him. He gave him several thousand gold coins today, and others would ask him if he would give him tomorrow.
Besides, why should I give it to it? I have already been bought out by my master. Even if I bought out the ownership of my family, I am no longer the daughter of Edwina, but the master's maid Edwina. Edwina is still very clear about this.
Back in the house, Edwina took out ten gold coins from a cash box, wrote a letter, and took two silver coins to the servants at home to give them to the wizard bank. Send letters and pay in another place are also one of the main businesses of the wizard bank.
One of these two silver coins is the fee for express delivery, and the other is the fee for paying gold coins in other places.
Three days later, Edwina's parents in Zeland City received a letter from Edwina. Edwina's elder brother Edwards asked the messenger of the Mage Bank again: "What did you say? There were only ten gold coins that came with the letter. You're wrong."
Messenger: "Sir, there are really only ten gold coins sent with the letter. I believe there are also explanations in the letter. Our Magister Bank has never made any mistakes in this regard. Otherwise, our Magister Bank would not have been so big."
Edwards, who turned around, asked his father Edward: "Dad, what did Edwina say in the letter? Is there only ten gold coins?"
My father Edward opened the envelope and recited, "Dear father and mother, elder brother. Long time no see, I am still working as a maid in the mansion in Link Harbor. Everything is good, yes, I eat well and sleep well. Everyone is very nice to me, and I still have thirty silver coins every month. I haven't saved much money in these years. I'm sorry, there is no 18,000 gold coins available to my elder brother. This is most of my savings, ten gold coins. I believe that if my family really lacks money, it can be used. I love you Edwina."
Edwards said in disbelief: "How is it possible? I bought 20,000 gold coins to be a maid and only gave thirty silver coins a month pocket money. Isn't that guy very rich?"
Dad Edward understands very well: "Our family has been rich in the past few years. How much does it cost to your maid?"
Edwards: "I should be satisfied with food and accommodation, and I have a few silver coins in a month. But my little sister is different. She..."
Dad Edward interrupted Edwards: "What's the difference? Edwina has more pocket money."
Edwards: "But if you don't have money to show off, what should I do with my marriage with Viscount Vilford's daughter Winnie?"
Dad Edward: "It's a cold salon. The woman has always had a generous dowry. I have never heard of a man's family having a big show."
Edwards: "But if I don't have the money to show off, how can the daughter of Viscount Vilford's family look down on me?"
Dad Edward: "Yes, you are not a sanctuary or a high-level mage. Why do people like you? I have long said that you and your brother will learn magic together, but you don't listen. I've been playing outside all day long, and I spent so much money, but I didn't see anyone I could catch."
Edwards: "I failed to invest in that money. Who knew that if you are so troublesome in seafood fishing, you can make money in Link Port."
Dad Edward: "If you do seafood fishing, you can make a lot of money, and if you lose money, it means that you are better than you. Be more down-to-earth."
Edwards lowered his head: "Dad, I'm tight on my hands recently, so I'll borrow some money."
Dad Edward: "Okay, no problem. Your sister sent you ten gold coins this time. Seven of them, and the rest are all ones, your mom and your brother, each one, so it's enough to take care of you."
Edwards: "Dad, you know, let alone seven gold coins, even ten gold coins are not enough for me to spend a few days."
Dad Edward: "How could it be not enough? Do you know how many gold coins this family only uses in a month, five gold coins, including various expenses at home and the expenses of servants. Your brother went to the Magic Academy at his own expense, and only three gold coins a month. If you don't go to the gambler, why don't you spend enough money?"
But for Edwards, ten gold coins may lose in one afternoon's hand game. Of course, sometimes you can win a little when luck breaks out, but overall, you still lose more.
This principle is easy to calculate. At a time, there are as few as six or as ten as ten, and only one or two people win money, so naturally there are more losses than wins. In this kind of card game between noble children, basically no one will give a thousand or something. Otherwise, how can they get involved in the circle in the future? Every time they win money, they will have to treat them, and everyone will drink and buy girls.
The consumption in the royal capital is already high. The nobles' children did not drink ale wine with a few copper coins on the streets of Jier City, but had to drink a few high-end fruit sweet wine with a barrel of gold coins. With tips for rewards, it is common for a group of people to consume dozens of gold coins one night.
But I couldn't tell my dad about this. Of course, my dad Edward was so romantic when he was young, but after getting married and having children, he quickly became worried. This is also the reason why my dad Edward is more concerned about his son's marriage now. He has a stronger daughter-in-law at home, and he can still take care of his son.
On the mainland, women control the financial power of the family, which is why they have to carry a generous dowry when they marry their daughters. If the couple spend their own money, they are still considered a family. Most of the men on the mainland live a life of three or four virtues when they are young, most of them live as mothers when they get married, and as wives when they die, and as girls when they die.
The only time Edwards can do is this period of time when he is old and has not gotten married yet. If he doesn't go out to date, who knows you?
However, his parents did not expect Edwards to spend all the eight thousand gold coins he had allocated him in a few years, and now it is time to borrow money.
However, the family had already distributed the money for selling Edwina that year, and the five thousand gold coins were the funds for his youngest son Watson to learn magic. There was no more, so it was considered a separation.
The remaining gold coins were left, except for part of the old debt repayment, and there were about 6,000 gold coins left. They were the money for the elderly Edwards and his wife to support them. Of course, they were all from their eldest son Edwards after their death. However, before death, in order to avoid Edwards from making unreliable investments, they would not give him a gold coins.
This is also the reason why Edwards wrote a letter to his sister for money. In Edwards's opinion, his sister is considered to be a nobleman. Although she is not a nobleman, her income is not as good as Link Port.
There is only one owner in Link Port, and his sister is the personal maid of Link Port Port owner. Since he was willing to spend 20,000 gold coins to buy out his sister's ownership, he was probably not short of money.
But I didn't expect that although my sister's life was better than her maid's life, it was only thirty silver coins per month. This amount of money was not enough to lose a game by playing cards. After winning money, the tips for rewards at a high-end bar were also higher than this number.
The letters written by my sister Edwina and the gold coins sent back were just telling herself that there was no chance to ask for money. Maybe she would have to ask for twenty or thirty silver coins every month in writing letters, maybe a little more, but it probably only looks like one and a half gold coins.
But now Edwards’ problem is not that he can’t go out to play cards if he doesn’t have money. But when Edwards was tight a few days ago, some generous and kind-hearted people had lent Edwards money several times, and the principal and interest were about 1,500,600 gold coins.
The principal accounts for about half of the principal. Although the interest rate of the Mage Bank is lower, the Mage Bank's mortgage department has never seen a rabbit or a hawk. If there is no fixed assets or bonds as collateral, it is basically impossible to lend money from the Mage Bank.
This is also one of the reasons why the private lending industry can still develop rapidly. In the past, when my sister Edwina was still at home, she borrowed money after money to support her life because she was unable to make ends meet. However, most of the borrowed money were from relatives, with no interest or very low interest. After my sister Edwina went out, the money was doubled by her parents.
However, Edwards doesn't have that much face to borrow money from his relatives' house. His only younger brother and sister are no longer a family member. He has already taken the money to divide the family orders, and is still learning magic now.
The most important thing is that your marriage horoscope is not yet written, otherwise you don’t have to worry about the loan. If you marry a rich wife, you can easily take out a sum of money to repay the loan.
At this time, in Link Port, Edwina was reading the newspaper to her master: "Today's headlines, the southern colonial bone dragons are flying, and they have so far captured three cities. According to reliable news from witnesses, the orcs of the southern orcs have driven hundreds of bone dragons to capture the southern colonial cities by 100 million. The defenders suffered heavy losses. At the mainland meeting, the six southern countries once again proposed to eliminate the evil necromancers, but they were opposed by most countries. The western coastal countries such as the State of Zeland were neutral."
The bone dragon is now only raging in the south. The eastern countries in the New World are all colonized on islands on the edge of the New World. The northern countries are colonized in the north, and the northern countries are still far from the south where the bone dragon is raging in the South.
However, Western coastal countries think that the orcs and undead magicians have even made hundreds of bone dragons this time, which is a big move. If the southern countries can't stand it, those orcs who play undead magic still have to go north. If they go north, the essence of the colonies are all in the hands of the seven coastal countries in the West. Are there any cold teeth?
