When Weilin came in, Xia Lan was teasing the slime on the table, which he had kept as a pet.
Compared to other slimes dumped into the river, this one is not only transparent to the point of being almost invisible, but is also very shy and will tremble non-stop if teased.
"Welin of the Blue Dragon Bank greets His Majesty."
Xia Lan then let go of the slime on the table and raised her head to ask Weilin, who was very graceful.
"What does Arthurs want you to do?"
Weilin got straight to the point: "Lord Arthurs heard that Captain Kannepal is about to set sail. This time, he will definitely find a new route to the mainland and bring back a large amount of development resources for the kingdom. However, all of this will require gold coins. He is willing to lend some to the kingdom, but he will charge interest."
A hint of surprise crossed Xia Lan's face when she heard this, but she immediately leaned back in her chair indifferently.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Weilin. Under my wise leadership, we've almost earned enough gold coins for this purchase. It's impossible for Blue Dragon Bank to buy government bonds.
But since Arthurs is so kind, I don't mind lending him a hand. I'd like to borrow 100,000 gold coins first. How about 0.01% interest for a term of over 100 years?"
"Your Majesty, you are being disingenuous. No amount of money is enough for the development of a new nation."
"So how much do you think is appropriate?"
"A 7% interest rate for a ten-year term..."
"You're here to sell goods at high interest rates. No, lower the price..."
…
At the Storm Knights' headquarters, under the banner of the Storm Army, two teams of knights were looking at each other provocatively.
The Knights Templar consists of thirty knights, divided into groups of three, three groups plus a captain, and ten people in each group. The original captains of the Knights Templar were Aceris, Chekov, and Kim. These three are also the three most powerful knights in the Knights Templar except for the captain Heli.
But half a month ago, the captain of the third team, Kim, was defeated by the newcomer Luo Wei. He expressed his desire to become the new captain, but was beaten with dozens of military sticks by He Li.
This is an army, not a street gang. Anyone with strong strength can become a captain. Can she, as the captain, become the king? In He Li's eyes, except for a few level six warriors, no one in the kingdom can fight.
But after Kim was defeated, he was too embarrassed to be the captain anymore and gave his position to Rowe. However, this also made the Knights lose their former harmony.
Although Luo Wei has a cold face and speaks very little every day, he is a competitive person and is very dissatisfied with Aceris occupying the position of the Knights' Stormtrooper.
The world of the atrium is an extraordinary world. Although the army can surround and kill the strong, the strong can also lead the army to break through the enemy's formation, so the charge officer came into being.
Each combat unit will have the strongest person serving as the charge officer, and the surrounding troops will also try their best to cooperate with the charge officer to break the formation, so the charge officer and the commander are almost the dual cores of the army, and their positions are very important.
Of course, the army commander can also be a stormtrooper, and Chekhov and Lovi are also stormtroopers in their respective teams, but in the entire Knights Templar, when Heli is not there, Acaris is the undisputed first stormtrooper, and Lovi and Chekhov must focus on him in battle.
This made Luo Wei very dissatisfied. Acaris had just broken through to bronze yesterday, but he was already at peak bronze, only one step away from silver. Why should this kid with a fake smile on his face stand above him?
The third team also wanted their captain to become the first assault officer of the Knights, so that they could replace Acaris's first team and become the main core of the Knights.
"Akeris, I wasn't here during the Knights' selection. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten that stupid lion, let alone been able to join the Knights."
Hearing Luo Wei's shouting, everyone in the first team glared at him and asked their captain to teach this kid a lesson.
Akeris didn't say anything, but looked at the leader who was watching all this outside the field.
"Coward, what are you doing? You've already bullied me right to my doorstep. If you two don't fight today, I'll beat you both up."
He Li shouted impatiently. Although she had beaten Luo Wei with dozens of military sticks when he challenged the captain last time, she still admired this red-haired boy very much. Beating him up would also be an explanation to Frederick of the Privy Council.
If you want to get promoted, you only need military achievements. Without military achievements, no matter how strong you are, it will not be convincing. Some talented commanders may not be very strong, but their command art can make an army exert its 100% strength.
But if we replace him with a reckless man, who is strong but cannot command, it would be better to let him charge alone. What is the point of having an army?
The two men put on their respective armor and face masks and went on stage holding a blue-striped steel stick.
"Please advise."
Acarius got into position and responded carefully.
Luo Wei didn't waste any words. He raised his spear and stick and stabbed it straight. Acarius shook the stick and the two steel sticks collided in the air, sparks flying.
Bang!
Luo Wei took a step back, feeling the numbness in his palm, and was in disbelief. He had just broken through to the bronze level yesterday, how come he was stronger than him!
The method of strength!
Luo Wei suddenly thought of something and became even more shocked, because they had learned the fighting method passed down by Xia Lan together, but Acaris was able to use it to this level.
“Come again!”
The two men did not try to test each other anymore, but fought with all their strength. The battle lasted from noon to dusk, and finally Aceris collapsed due to exhaustion.
Luo Wei was not feeling well either. Blood was flowing from his knuckles and he was panting as he supported his body with a steel rod.
"I lost this competition. Tell him when he wakes up. We'll have another fight in Baiyin."
Luo Wei did not feel the joy of victory. He was several levels higher than his opponent, but he ended up like this. He was too embarrassed to ask for the position of the first charge officer. When Akeris caught up with him, he would defeat him fairly.
The members of the first team helped Acaris up and glared at Rowe who turned and left. The little lion roared to vent his dissatisfaction.
When Luo Wei returned home, he found that the meal was already prepared on the table. It was just simple dried meat and bread, but it was much better than the days when he had to eat rotten meat on the boat.
Weilin walked out and sat down, pushed the jerky to him and asked, "How's it going? Did you win?"
Luo Wei's expression faded, and he said dejectedly, "That guy is simply a monster. Not only has he completely grasped the art of controlling his energy, he's also mastered the art of recovering both energy and health. His use of fighting spirit is even more terrifying. I don't know if I can still defeat him once he catches up to the next level."
"He's also human, he has weaknesses."
Luo Wei nodded. While eating, he thought about today's battle. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Tomorrow we will assist Commander Kode in forming the Duolun Legion."
Weilin didn't react, but placed two silver coins on the table. "Return this to him tomorrow. He doesn't owe us anything. I'm going to work at the Blue Dragon Bank tomorrow. You can eat in the barracks later."
"work?"
"Yes, bank manager, Lord Arthurs is still considering the salary..."
