This lich needs more money

Gustavo Flynn whipped his servant severely.

Because this person was responsible for sending the invitation letters, and Isabel's one was also sent by him, but he didn't even tell him Isabel's address.

Of course, this is not his fault, because many invitations were sent out, and Gustavo Flynn never asked where these people lived.

The beating he received this time was entirely because his master was holding back his anger.

But knowing that he was wronged, the servant could only admit his mistake loudly and hope that the master could forgive him.

Gustavo Flynn put down the whip only when he was so tired that he was sweating profusely.

"Prepare a carriage for me, and then go to the hospital for treatment."

The opponent is the lich, so there is nothing to talk about.

He knew this old guy so well that even if the Prince of Lies took action himself, he would not be able to convince him with words.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Gustavo Flynn couldn't wait to get on the carriage.

The coachman quickly asked: "Master, where are we going?"

Gustavo Flynn said in a very dark tone: "To the Goblin Bank."

Because the dwarf kingdom implements the policy of equality for all races, races that are hunted as monsters in many places can live in this kingdom. Even goblins can live in this country.

Goblin Bank is a unique financial institution in the Dwarf Kingdom.

Most goblins are dirty, stupid, and bloodthirsty monsters, but a few elites among the goblins will awaken unparalleled wisdom and are especially good at mathematics. Therefore, these elites among the goblins can understand finance and take advantage of the gold of the dwarf kingdom. , I don’t know how many benefits it has gained from other countries in peacetime.

These goblins are also very knowledgeable and provide many benefits to the dwarf kingdom every year. There is no shortage of gold in the dwarf kingdom, so these goblins tried their best to find those rare treasures from all over the continent and send them to them.

Therefore, this goblin bank is like a semi-official bank and has a very good reputation in the dwarf kingdom.

If there was any other choice, Gustavo Flynn did not want to deal with goblins. No matter how smart the goblins were, they were still evil and greedy, sucking more blood than vampires.

But he had no choice, because the only way to convince Amber Xiu to support him was to give money, and it wasn't even a little. The lich's appetite might be greater than that of all the goblins combined.

All the belongings have been depleted a long time ago, and now the only way to make money is to take out a loan.

Gustavo Flynn is quite confident about the loan. After all, he is also a legendary alchemist. With a little bit of his patented formula as collateral, he should be able to get a lot of money in exchange.

When he becomes president, everything will be fine.

However, when he saw the goblin wearing gold half-moon-rimmed glasses, the other person's reply made him furious.

Gustavo Flynn stared at the other party with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "One million gold coins? Can I understand that this is an insult to me from your bank?"

The wrinkled green goblin seemed to have long been accustomed to others yelling. He just took off his glasses leisurely, wiped the saliva on his glasses as if nothing had happened, and then said to the angry alchemist: "Master Flynn , According to our understanding, it seems that you still owe money to many nobles, and these debts add up to six to seven million gold coins."

Gustavo Flynn said disdainfully: "Do you think I can't afford to pay back this gold coin?"

The green goblin put on his glasses again and said seriously: "If it were in the past, of course this small amount of money would not be a problem. But Master Flynn, the past was before, and the present is now. Not only do you owe millions of gold coins, you also The money was not spent on rebuilding your alchemy laboratory, but on the election of the Council of Alchemists."

"You have investigated very clearly." Gustavo Flynn snorted coldly.

"Of course, those in our profession must keep abreast of the movements of various big shots. Please forgive me for being direct. Master Flynn, you put all your bets on the election. If you fail, can you afford it?" Is this a blow?"

Gustavo Flynn said confidently: "I will not lose."

"Haha, Master Flynn, you are the smartest person in the world, but I am not a fool. What you are competing with is our court alchemist. Regardless of background or personal status, he has an advantage over you.

"So according to our bank's judgment, you have a high chance of losing the election. And once you fail to become the president, what will you do? Let me assume that you will not be willing to be overwhelmed by that Master Baker , so you will most likely choose to change a place and start over, then will you delay your trip because of these arrears? "

The meaning of this green goblin is very clear. Once the election fails, Gustavo Flynn will run away and directly leave the sphere of influence of the dwarf kingdom. They must be too lazy to pay back the millions of gold coins they owe. Anyway, those little nobles have no way of pursuing cross-border repayment.

It is precisely because of this danger that the Goblin Bank set Gustavo Flynn's credit rating very low. The amount of one million gold coins was given based on the word "legend". Otherwise, not even a single gold coin would be given. Will not borrow.

Gustavo Flynn did not refute the question of running away, but asked instead: "Then have you ever calculated an account, how much can you gain if I succeed?"

The green goblin crossed his hands on his knees, leaned against the back of the seat, and said with a smile: "Our bank has a lot of money-making businesses, and the risks are not big. There is no need to take such risks. You know, our money It’s also depositors’ money, and we always have to think about our customers, right?”

Gustavo Flynn stood up, looked down at the goblin, and said in a very serious tone: "So you mean, there is no more talk?"

The green goblin still maintained a polite smile and said to the angry alchemist: "Of course not, Master Flynn, your value is very high, we just don't have any guarantee, so we can't loan it. As long as you can get If you provide a sufficient mortgage, you can negotiate how much you want to borrow.”

Gustavo Flynn said: "I can put up a few of my recipes as collateral."

The green-skinned goblin shook his head and said: "It's useless for us to ask for the legendary level formula, and... our dwarf kingdom has very loose restrictions on alchemy patents. You should know that this is no longer the kingdom of alchemists. .”

Gustara Flynn gritted his teeth, which was why he must re-establish the Alchemist Council.

Where patent management is loose in the Dwarf Kingdom, there is clearly no law in this area at all.

However, only Alchemy City and Silver Moon High Court in the entire continent have so-called patent laws. Even Ryan only gives corresponding rewards instead of letting you hold the patent for a lifetime.

There is no need to worry about copyright issues in the alchemy of the dwarf kingdom. As long as your potion is effective, it is genuine and can be sold freely.

This reason is also related to the former Alchemy City. This kingdom monopolized too many alchemy patents. If other kingdoms did not want to use piracy, they would have to pay a terrifying amount of money every year to purchase genuine medicines.

This cost is so high that the dwarf kingdom feels heartbroken, so other kingdoms use a large number of pirated potions, and occasionally spend some money to buy genuine ones and imitate them. That is to say, the technical barriers of Alchemy City are high enough, and sometimes your imitation is more expensive than the original, forcing others to buy it.

Now that the Alchemy City is gone, the Dwarf Kingdom was not so kind when it occupied this land. Many alchemy factories were forcibly acquired by the Dwarf Kingdom, and many alchemy formulas were also obtained.

In this case, if Gustavo Flynn wanted to use the alchemy formula as collateral, the Goblin Bank would definitely not be able to agree. There is no copyright protection for this thing. Just a piece of paper is useful. When this piece of paper is seen by others, it has no value.

Because all the employees in the Goblin Bank who have seen this formula will copy it without hesitation and then sell it. It will be known to everyone in less than three days.

Not to mention that they didn't do a good job of keeping secrets, all the rules of conduct of the Goblin Bank are formulated according to the laws of the Dwarf Kingdom, and the formula patent is not protected, so it is "legal" for them to make several copies, because it was originally In a bank, this is not called stealing.

If the dwarf kingdom does not protect the privacy of its depositors, then they will not hesitate to sell all the depositors' information. Unfortunately, many ministers of the kingdom save money in this bank, so keeping customer privacy confidential is written in the law. .

The formula was worthless, so Gustavo Flynn really had nothing to offer.

"In that case, I won't waste everyone's time."

After saying this, Gustavo Flynn was about to leave the bank, but the green-skinned goblin stopped him again: "Master Flynn, don't be so impatient. General alchemy formulas are not valuable, but some are still valuable. It is very valuable. We know that you hold a very valuable knowledge in your hands. As long as you are willing to give it to us, we can provide an interest-free loan of 100 million gold coins."

Gustavo Flynn had a bad feeling and asked quickly: "What are you talking about?"

The green-skinned goblin smiled and said, "I believe you must know the truth about the disappearance of the Alchemy City and the magic circle buried in the sewer, Master Flynn, right?"

Gustavo Flynn frowned and asked, "How do you know?"

"Haha, there are fortune tellers in the dwarf kingdom. Although they are not as accurate as the legendary fortune tellers in predicting the future, what has happened is still easy to divine. Our bank is very interested in your plan for mortals to become gods. "

Gustavo Flynn stared at the green goblin and asked: "This is not something ordinary people can know. What is your status in this bank?"

The green goblin raised his glasses and said slowly: "I am the president of this bank, Donald Grandet. Master Fran, we are really sincere in wanting to cooperate with you. I don't know what you mean." how?"
