Grover froze for a moment.

The words of thanks that came out of his mouth also stopped abruptly.

I always feel a little ironic that I was rescued because of gold coins, but it can also be considered a kind of luck.

"I'll pay it back," Grover replied.

"...But you have no money anymore." Fuzdiel walked out from the side.

"What does this mean?" A question came from within the armor.

This was not Grove's first meeting with Furstelle. He naturally knew Furstelle's identity, but he did not understand the meaning of Furstelle's words.

"Literally, you are already a pauper."

Grove raised his hand and said stiffly, "How could...?"

Even though he invested most of his wealth in the construction of military equipment and territory, the remaining territory was actually his greatest wealth.

The wealthy people and the reputation established by the Waverley family, the annual tax paid to the castle is enough to make the Waverley family's descendants worry-free.

"Although it has only been more than a month since you died, this is a fact. The huge Waverly territory is about a quarter of the size of Duke Tobias Ridge, but such a large territory has been lost in such a short period of time.

It changed hands in just over a month. Apart from the greedy nobles who were reluctant to let go of the big cake of Waverley and thus used their plans, the main reason was that your son had a stupid relationship... He fell into the trap of other nobles and sold out

You have taken over the entire territory, and now...you are a noble with no territory and no treasure."

Grove listened quietly, perhaps thinking about how to deal with Joel.

After listening to Furztel's words, Joel's body trembled and he looked at Grove coldly.

His claws were raised slightly and placed on the shoulders of the armor, and a crunching sound came from the top.

"It's going to be broken... it's going to be broken..." Grove exclaimed.

With the rattling sound, in addition to the armor being pinched and deformed, even Grove's soul body was affected.

This deep-seated fear of soul-shattering made Grove shout regardless of his face.

"Your Excellency...what are you doing?" Fuztel intervened.

Joel kept looking at him strangely, "He's not a pauper. Of course he's returning the goods. If you want to bring back your soul, you have to pay something."

After listening to Joel's words, Fuzteler thought for a while and asked: "I don't know what I have to pay...?"

"I paid for a pair of armor!" Joel said swornly.

Elena couldn't help but remind her, "This is my family's private property... Besides, the cost of making an ordinary iron helmet is only about ten gold coins. The value of the Marquis of Waverley... must be more than ten gold coins."

"Falado." Yoel suddenly called out a name, "A strong dragon can easily defeat hundreds of Groves, but it only costs one gold coin to defeat him!"

It's such a cheap and easy-to-use dragon, Foztel couldn't help but feel this way.

Now is not the time to sigh, Fuztel immediately asked: "Is this the price?"

"The more powerful the soul, the more difficult it is to recall it. If someone like him... has the prerequisite to perform magic in advance, it is equivalent to giving it away for free." Joel nodded, "The only pity is that the soul must be given away.

Looking for a medium of attachment, I wasted a piece of armor."

"I think it is safer to let Grove work for you now than to return the money. I believe he can earn back these gold coins through work."

"Can he... earn half a million gold coins?" Joel was doubtful.

"I think it's okay." Elena assured her first.

Joel looked at her strangely and asked, "How do you know?"

"Treasurer Feldera, you know."

"Although he doesn't look very good and speaks weirdly, he brought me a lot of wealth." Joel said angrily, "He also took away a lot of my treasure!"

Feldra just took away the property that belonged to his family, and... became yours again?

Elena was not entangled in Joel's words. She said: "The relationship between Fidel Fidel and Marquis Grove is so bad. Apart from the differences in personality and job disputes between the two, the original reason is

It’s because the position they are competing for is financial officer. Grove has the same outstanding talent as Feldera, but considering that wealth and military power cannot coexist, he was not allowed to serve as financial officer.”

"If Feldera was still here, maybe we need to think about it, but now... isn't this the best choice?" Fuzdiel said, "With his ability, by managing Duke Tobias Ridge, I want to

It must be a simple thing to earn back half a million gold coins."

"A guy with good command and intelligence..." Igna commented, "but he is a bit lacking in strength."

The fourth level of strength is already among the strongest among humans. What's more, Grove has also learned other aspects of knowledge and is definitely considered a genius among humans.

But when it was said through Ignat's mouth, it was impossible to refute.

Grove responded with silence. It was not that he was too weak, but that the other party was too strong.

Joel patted Grove's shoulder kindly and smoothed out the dent he had just pinched.

"That's just an illusion." Joel explained, and motioned for Igna to explain too.

"Maybe it just slipped." Igna also explained.

But saying it like this is worse than not saying it at all.

But tending to be powerful, Grove had to lower his head and said: "What just happened must be an illusion..."

"You have a great talent, but I learned this from others. I need to examine your ability to earn gold coins over time. If my gold coins show negative growth, I will return the goods at any time."

Grove nodded.

This is the same as on the battlefield in the past. One step of deviation may lead to defeat.

However, he is called the "Invincible God of War" by the people of Fei Country. Precisely because of his caution, even if he does not win, at least he will not lose.

"Before...I need to remind you of something. My subordinate, Hetekla has attracted a demon."

"demon..?"

The rising and falling sounds echoed, and the group of mages had a great reaction to the word "demon".

"Does my gold coin matter in this matter?" Joel asked.

Grove wanted to say yes, but before he could answer, Joel had already answered for him, "It's just an insignificant matter. You only need to think about how to increase my gold coins."

"Devil? That guy Anderson is the prisoner of the devil, right?" Igna muttered, "Is there anything to be afraid of that thing?"

"Uh..." Grove froze in embarrassment. In his opinion, after telling such important information, he should actively respond to it. After all, he must be nervously preparing for war, but now Joel and Yi

Genna also said that those mages who have seen the world have no other reaction except the sound of discussion?

Elena noticed Grove's astonishment, and she kindly reminded: "You'd better... start building the territory..."

The reason why demons are famous in the world is the resistance of the church and the existence of demon gods. But with the various methods Joel has shown, especially the resurrection of the dead, that is something that only gods can do. The mages

I believe that Joel, who can do this, cannot defeat the devil, so he just stops at the discussion.

"Before that, I have two requirements. The first requirement is that I need cooperation from the territory, including financial, material, and human resources."

Fuzdiel agreed: "Of course, this is the power of the financial officer."
