Outside the side door of the palace...
Several young men and women stealthily poked their heads out of the door.
"Don't squeeze me."
"You won't even let me see..."
There were three men and two women crowded at the door, all of them were young... but they were dressed very luxuriously, and even if the guards next to them saw them, they pretended not to see anything.
The only people who can walk around freely and act recklessly in the palace are probably members of the royal family. Who would dare to offend them?
The guards had long been accustomed to this attitude of turning a blind eye and continued to look ahead.
Suddenly, the two people approaching attracted attention, and a group of guards hurriedly bowed their heads and greeted: "Your Highness."
"Um."
"What are you guys doing?"
The five children turned around only when they were called by a voice behind them.
"Grandpa Philip~"
The person who came over was Prince Philip of the southern empire. The royal family was prosperous and these little guys in front of him were the youngest generation in this area, and he was the king's uncle, so there was no problem with them calling him grandpa.
"What are you looking at?"
Philip squatted down and held a little girl who was about ten years old and asked her questions.
"We are looking at the female commander from Jagun. I heard many palace guards say that she is very powerful..." The little girl spoke in a baby voice. The female commander from Jagun should be referring to Melsusa.
Philip glanced at the wizard Ash who was following behind him.
The two of them had only met the female commander who came from the depths of the desert a few times, and she was indeed very capable.
At least Ash said that even if he used all his strength, he might not be able to withstand the opponent's attack... You have to know that Ash is a level 11 Orderer, but he actually said this.
This woman is so powerful!
"But she's really mad right now. That Count Sean Weigel actually had a head-on conflict with her!"
Sean Weigel?
This name was too familiar to both Prince Philip and Ash. One had a good apprentice who was always nagging him in his ear, while the other had a mysterious person sneak into the wizarding organization that he had trained with great effort!
"He's here too?" said Prince Philip.
"Hmm~ It seems that all the southern lords are here." The little girl pointed inside the hall and said.
The door was half-open, and you could see a lot of things if you looked closely.
…………………………
"What do you mean!" Melsusa looked at Sean coldly.
"I'm just telling the truth. The money that southern Basaran can raise is very limited. If Your Excellency the Commander insists on it, we will certainly find a way to give it to you... It's just a bit troublesome." Sean looked at the other party and said.
Above the head is the state of [Temptation!].
In other words, this woman was testing him? Fortunately, she was not angry, otherwise Sean would not have dared to say such words.
"What's the trouble?"
"Since we have no money, we still have to spend time to collect it... Of course, the empire has a lot of valuable things. Ores or industrial products, gold and jewelry, these can all be exchanged for money, and if the commander wants them, he can take them back." Sean said.
In fact, when talking about so much money, Sean has been wondering how they will transport it back.
I have never seen how big the Niu Hoof Cow is, but the six million from the 13 lords adds up to 78 million gold coins. If you add a little more, it will be over 100 million.
He had never stored so much money in his Oro City treasury, but hundreds of millions of gold coins piled up would be as big as a small hill.
Crossing the desert by carrying something on your back?
I guess there must be a lot of yellow sand buried on the road.
Sometimes Sean even wondered if the money they calculated also included the possible losses along the way.
But leaving aside the gold coins, if it were exchanged for equivalent ores or other resources, even a cleft-hoofed ox probably wouldn't be able to carry it.
"That's your business, it has nothing to do with me." Melsusa's head showed the state of [Thinking!] and [Calculating!].
But after a moment, it changed to [Irritated!]...
I can’t figure it out!
Don’t even mention it... Even I can’t figure it out. With prices soaring now, I don’t know how much that money can buy.
"I'm just doing what the Sun King asked. As for other things, they are no longer within my consideration..." Melsusa changed the topic to one that almost no one could refute.
"That's not entirely true. Prices in the Bashalan Empire have skyrocketed because of the war. Even if you take the money you want, you probably won't be able to buy much. It's better to take something more practical." Sean said.
The two countries belong to different regions and their currencies are originally different.
Normally, Bashalan's currency could be exchanged with traveling merchants in the Adak region... After all, they would often visit the two places, and they could make a lot of money by just charging a portion of the difference. But now, prices have risen due to the war.
Actually, it seems useless to have so much money.
When he said this, King Simon suddenly looked at the ministers below, and several of them actually nodded to indicate that this was the case.
In fact, someone mentioned it before...but King Simon at that time was eager to wait for the arrival of the Southern Lord and then talk to Melsusa in person, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I think about it carefully, it seems to be the case.
In the past, it seemed that the money of the Basalan Empire could not buy things of equal value.
but,
It is usually said that when countries give money to each other, it is an equal transaction. There will be someone to resolve these issues and there is no need to worry about it.
