A furtive bubble appeared above Commander Balk's head.
"Should we suggest to His Highness... that the Knights continue to use elixirs?" This was the bubble above George's head, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Li Aili: "..." Hehe.
Knock, knock, knock—the study door was being knocked on urgently.
"Enter," the Duke said coldly.
The maid who had stayed to look after Justin and the others entered. "It's terrible, Master!! Knight Justin...he's gone up to the roof!!"
"What's going on? What do you mean by 'going up to the roof'?" Li Aili asked, looking completely bewildered, as she had just left the room.
The maid said anxiously, "Sir Justin needed to urinate, but when he heard that we wanted to help him, he drank the healing potion!"
Li Aili: "..."
The observation material that Wang Di wanted, though late, finally arrived.
"After drinking the potion, he suddenly leaped onto the crystal chandelier!! Then he squatted on it and meowed!"
Li Aili calmly sat down again. "Oh, calling me won't help. Go call Leongor. Let him see if there's any way to get the person down from the chandelier."
This has absolutely nothing to do with her healing potion; going to her won't help.
Looking up at the heads of Knight Balk and his men, there was a uniform exclamation mark: 【……………………】
It has become an ocean of ellipses.
However, there were a few knights who were not so 'harmonious'.
They were all eager to go and see Justin the Knight who could meow.
Honestly, she doesn't understand male friendship.
"So, what exactly happened with the attack on Silverpine Village?" Li Aili asked, getting down to business.
Arthur, who had been sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, opened them and said with a grim face, "The attackers of Silverpine Village were from the Assassin's Guild, and the employers were the Coran family."
Li Aili exclaimed "Huh?", "But I heard that you guys bankrupted the Kelan family? Where did they get the money?"
With the money and supplies plundered during the war, plus the ransom paid for redeeming the 'landlord's foolish son,' she had heard that the Kelan family was so poor that they had to dismiss their servants.
You should know that this is extremely undignified for a nobleman.
Balk said, "That's right, madam. Charlie Coran mortgaged his fiefdom and borrowed a large sum of gold coins from the goblin bank."
"It's winter now, not a good time to start a war. How can we persuade His Highness to be patient?" At that moment, a bubble appeared above George's head.
Immediately afterwards, similar bubbles appeared above the heads of the other knights.
Li Aili caught a glimpse and roughly understood their predicament.
The knights wanted to persuade Arthur to endure the winter.
But Arthur wanted to get his revenge right now.
Li Aili: "..." Does revenge have to involve war?
She thought for a moment and asked, "What if the Kelan family doesn't have the money to pay the goblins?"
Arthur took the hot tea Conrad offered, took a sip, and said, "Give Vivian Coran time, and she'll get the gold coins out of that good-for-nothing Harry Clark sooner or later."
Without even thinking about it, Li Aili said directly, "Then let's inform Queen Melanie and have her keep an eye on her king's purse, isn't that enough?"
This empress was a ruthless woman who went so far as to have her husband undergo artificial sterilization in order to ensure her son's right to inherit the throne.
Keeping an eye on the king's secret stash of money shouldn't be difficult for her, right?
A room full of gentlemen who only thought about resolving the enemy by force: "..."
They were struck dumb.
[Wow, is there really such a way??]
The Duke pondered for a few seconds, then decisively said to Conrad, "Instruct the Shadows to do this."
Conrad bowed his head and accepted the order, then quickly walked out to relay it.
“Now, the Kelan family probably can’t pay back the money,” the Duke said, leaning back in his chair.
Li Aili casually asked, "Oh, does the goblin bank here offer door-to-door debt collection services?"
The knights were completely bewildered. "What does 'coming to collect debts' mean?"
Li Aili blinked her innocent and pure eyes. "Um, don't you offer this kind of service here? Like 'high-interest loan sharking and high-pressure debt collection'?"
The knights shook their heads in bewilderment, but their eyes lit up.
[This sounds like a good opportunity to really mess with the Kolan family!]
"Hmm...it sounds like a legitimate bank."
"But I think the goblins might consider starting a 'new business'?" Li Aili said sincerely, considering the goblins' interests.
