Upon being asked this question, Ruby Moneybags burst into tears, looking so aggrieved.
"Wow wow wow!"
Then you can see that the 'sack' the goblin is wearing is soaked with tears.
Li Aili couldn't get a word in edgewise, so she simply sat there quietly waiting for the goblin to finish crying.
"Okay, now tell me what exactly happened."
Ruby began to recount his tragic experiences, his voice trembling with sobs.
"Ever since you gave me that debt collection method, I've been running Denton Bank with great success."
"Danton Bank's performance is among the best of all its branches..."
Li Aili raised her hand to interrupt him, "Get to the point."
Ruby's face fell: "The main point is, the brother-in-law of the 129th son of the clan chief's brother-in-law has his eye on my bank..."
"And then...and then I became like this."
Li Aili's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "Are you crazy?"
"If they blatantly steal like this, who will dare to achieve anything in the future?"
Ruby's face turned green with anguish. "It wasn't exactly robbery; they set a trap for me."
"Back then, I became a bit arrogant because of my performance..." Ruby sighed.
Li Aili nodded in agreement, just about to say something.
Who knew Ruby's eyes would suddenly turn into triangular ones? "But they brought a red dragon to borrow money from me! That's outrageous!!!"
Li Aili: "..."
"When that dragon borrowed money, he sent one of his noble retainers!"
"I borrowed so much money all at once, sob sob! I was so stupid back then, and to celebrate this 'big deal,' I even splurged on a bottle of Tankarl 82 red wine!"
"Waaaaah!"
“Then, when it was due, I sent someone to collect the debt, and wow—” he yelled again.
"My eldest son is gone, and all my money is gone!!"
His wailing almost lifted the roof off.
"Later..." the goblin sobbed, "Later, according to the rules, I had to take responsibility for such a significant loss."
"And they did indeed send me to the red dragon."
"But the red dragon said he was sick of eating goblins, so I was released."
"Waaaaah, and then, I used up all the money my wife secretly gave me... to pull some strings and get a spot to come to Emerald Valley this time."
He lifted the burlap sack over his shoulder and blew his nose hard.
"By the way, sob sob, they also forced my wife to remarry."
"Waaaaah, my wife and the children I have had have all been sent to do very lowly jobs."
Li Aili: "Alright, stop crying."
"Aren't you goblins planning to open a bank here?"
“I told the leader that it’s fine to open a bank here, but you have to stay and continue as the bank manager, otherwise this is out of the question.”
Ruby's pointed, chubby ears twitched, and upon hearing those words, she immediately stopped crying.
Li Aili was about to call for someone to prepare and have her decision relayed to the goblin delegation.
Suddenly, Ruby rushed over.
Li Aili reacted quickly, reaching out and pressing down firmly on Ruby's head.
They refused to let the clothes used for wiping their noses get close to them.
Ruby: "Um! I have something I want to tell you!"
"To repay your kindness in saving my life!"
It's no exaggeration to say that if Li Aili hadn't helped him, he probably wouldn't have survived more than a few days in the cruel goblin society.
"I have some information to tell you!"
Li Aili: "?"
Good grief, they've even released a 'hidden quest'?
"What intelligence?"
Ruby asked, "Do you know the Buffet Thief?"
Li Aili: "What master thief? Parfait? Does he specialize in stealing desserts?"
Ruby exclaimed anxiously, "The legendary thief Buffet! He's a legendary thief; it's said that no treasure he sets his sights on ever fails to get his hands on!"
This intelligence is also the reason why Ruby decided to gamble everything and come here to take a chance.
Li Aili: "Oh? This Buffet thief, has he set his sights on Emerald Valley?"
Ruby said, "It's even worse than that, Miss Ellie!"
"I've heard that you have a vast treasure trove here, guarded by a very powerful demon."
Li Aili: "…………"
"Not long ago, one of the master thief Buffet's apprentices suffered a great loss at your hands."
"So he asked his master to help him take revenge."
"Then I heard that the Buffet thief has once again lost face in front of you."
"He's a very proud person..."
Li Aili stopped Ruby from talking incessantly, "Wait a minute."
Where did you get all this information from?
Ruby blushed slightly. "Actually, this is exactly what I wanted to tell you."
"As you know, my family has undergone a sudden and devastating change. My 87th child is a girl..."
"That's the important part!" Li Aili said.
Ruby: "I have a child who works as a handyman in the 'Pumpkin Avengers' of the Buffy Thieves."
Li Aili: "..."
Are there any people with red and blue shields in there?
Ruby: "Huh?"
"Are there any green giants?"
"???"
"Where's that flying creature made entirely of steel?"
Ruby was dazed.
Li Aili: "Great, then there's nothing to worry about."
Thieves are coming to destroy the pumpkins.
Li Aili's lips curled up slightly.
hehe!
Isn't that perfect!
If the Knights hadn't unanimously voted to preserve the pumpkins, she would have thrown a bottle of alchemical potion into the pumpkin patch long ago.
