"No! That's not what I meant! I was just confused! Listen to my explanation!"

Farsington Ronoll knelt down with a plop, hugged Sir De Arnis's thigh and cried bitterly.

But unfortunately, the latter had already seen through his true nature, kicked him away, and said in a tone full of disgust: "Get away! Damn slave trader! If I had known you were this kind of person, I would never have done it.

I will allow you to take even one step into De Arnisburg. I will not allow you to let Nalia marry your son."

"You made the right choice, human."

When the elder saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry to disturb your revenge, please continue. I have nothing to say about this kind of scum. But Farsington Ronoll's son Isiah should be innocent. He is only a child. I hope that

Take him away."

Sir De Arnis took the opportunity to make a request.

He originally planned to come here this time to discuss the marriage between the two families with Fassington, but now it seems that this is no longer necessary.

Marrying into a family that makes money by capturing and selling slaves will only bring shame to the glorious name De Arnis.

But out of pity and the debt he owed to Farsington, Sir De Arnis decided to raise Isiah and teach him to be an upright and selfless good man, not a complete scumbag like his father.<

/p>

"No problem. The child is next door, you can take him away at any time. In addition, this is a bottle of antidote, which can relieve the poisoning state that causes people to become unconscious."

With that said, the elder handed the other party a bottle of antidote.

After Sir De Arnis took it and thanked him, he quickly drank it for Isiah, who was only a teenager, and then picked him up and walked out of the castle without looking back.

No matter how much Farsington Ronoll cried and begged, he never looked back.

But he didn't notice that Isiah in his arms had actually woken up a long time ago, and witnessed with his own eyes the scene of the elf cutting off his father's head, with his eyes full of anger and hatred.

This hatred is directed not only at those wild elves, but also at Sir De Arnis who is holding him.

In the eyes of this mentally immature young man, what Sir De Arnis did was a typical example of ungratefulness and a refusal to save someone.

Sir Anis was waiting and disappeared into the distant woods on horseback. The wild elves who had completed their revenge also embarked on the road back to their homes. The shadow assassin Yelnia, who had always been hidden in the dark, finally appeared from the darkness and used

The voice that only he could hear said to himself: "How pitiful. It seems that Sir De Arnis will probably pay a heavy price for his kindness in the future."

"How painful is it?"

Accompanied by a familiar voice, Zuo Si stepped through the portal and appeared on the balcony on the second floor of the castle.

Obviously, he did not trust the wild elf druid to act on his own, so he specially asked the shadow assassin to follow him secretly to prevent unexpected situations.

Who would have thought that the operation that originally went smoothly would end up killing Sir De Arnis.

Judging from Isiah's final reaction, he will definitely try to avenge his biological father when he grows up.

"Master..."

Yelnia bent down and bowed respectfully, but she still couldn't help but reveal a complicated look in her eyes.

But Zuo Si didn't care about this. He looked into the distance with great interest and asked without looking back: "What do you want to say about Sir De Arnis's behavior?"

"Nothing to say.

He was so stupid that he tried to change a child who had lived with Farsington Ronoll for more than ten years.

As everyone knows, Fassington has already educated Isiah into a despicable person like himself.

If nothing else happens, Isaiah will definitely try to retaliate within ten years at most.

He even used some means to obtain Sir De Arnis's property."

Yelnia gave her judgment straightforwardly.

With the ability to hide in the shadows, she has already investigated this castle and the entire Ronoll family these days, and is very clear about Isiah's character and evil degree.

"Is it just stupidity? Why do I feel that you feel sorry for Sir De Arnis?"

Zuo Si turned around and looked meaningfully into the eyes of the shadow assassin.

The latter obviously felt guilty and quickly lowered his head and denied: "No! That's just your illusion."

"Really..."

Zuo Si deliberately made a long sound, but did not continue to press.

With the power given by the card [Shadow Servant], he can feel Yelnia's emotions, and if necessary, he can even pay a small amount of mana to observe through the opponent's eyes.

Therefore, it can be clearly felt that this woman had the idea of ​​killing Isiah and eliminating the troubles for Sir De Arnis at that moment.

It is precisely because of this that Zuo Sicai used teleportation magic to rush over to see what happened.

The Shadow Assassin lowered his head and remained silent, with no intention of explaining.

The two of them stood there without saying a word for two or three minutes. Zuo Sicai broke the silence with a smile: "Let's go, take me to the place where the property is stored in this castle. Since you are here, just take advantage of the law."

Hinton Ronoll spent most of his life scrounging up all the money he had earned through dirty means, so that he could end up benefiting Isiah."

"As you wish."

Without saying a word, Yelnia immediately walked along the corridor that connects the first and second floors.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

After a while, they were right in front of the same wall.

Zuo Si directly cast a detection spell, quickly confirmed that there was a secret door behind the wall, and immediately used the tapping technique to open it.

Instantly!

A ladder at the back leading straight up and down to the ground was revealed.

Lying down the ladder and lying inside, he immediately saw various gold and silver coins, gems and a small amount of jewelry piled on the ground.

You know without asking that this is the treasury of the Ronoll family.

Since Faerûn does not have a bank in the strict sense, although the temple of the goddess of wealth, Waking, provides services such as deposits and withdrawals and the exchange of cash into bills, it requires a very high storage fee and will not pay even a penny of interest.

.

Therefore, the properties of most nobles and wealthy businessmen are kept in their homes and castles.

When building, almost all castles and luxurious houses will reserve enough space in some places in advance for the owner to transform it into a vault.

After roughly estimating the quantity and value of this pile of things, Zuo Si immediately smiled and said: "About 450,000 gold coins. A quarter of them are gems, and some are mithril, fine gold, cold iron, etc.

Of the magic metals, precious metal currency only accounts for about half. There are also a few low-level magic items. It seems that Fashington Ronoll has indeed accumulated a lot of wealth through smuggling, addictive drugs and slaves in recent years.

”

Although in Amn, a fortune of more than 400,000 gold coins is really nothing to those top nobles and wealthy businessmen.

But for traditional nobles, it is definitely a huge sum of money.

This can be seen from the income of Sir De Arnis's family castle and territory.

As a lord, the latter's chaotic income in a year only adds up to 20,000 to 30,000 gold coins.

After deducting the cost of daily maintenance, repairs and hiring guards, as well as the wages paid to servants, plus the various natural and man-made disasters in the territory that require relief for farmers, there is no money left at all.

This is also the reason why the emerging business aristocrats of Amn look down on the traditional aristocrats.

The traditional way of obtaining wealth by relying on land is really too primitive and too low-level.

In the face of the huge profits that can be earned from prosperous trade and commerce, he is not even a younger brother.

In fact, most of the manors, castles and territories of the commercial nobles have long since evolved from simply collecting taxes and food into today's leisure and entertainment venues.

Zuo Si directly opened the portal and let the goblins and undead creatures move the entire treasury.

He himself left platinum coins, gold coins and silver gold coins.

The remaining silver coins and copper coins, which were numerous but not very valuable, were packed up and donated to the Ilmat Temple in the slums.

"Thank you for your kind deed. Please rest assured that I will give the money to those who need it most. May the God of Suffering bless your soul."

The priest, who was only wearing a tattered linen robe, sent his blessings with a smile.

Because Bernard donated 20,000 gold coins not long ago, and coupled with these, the temple will not need to worry about money for a long time.

He can relax and take in all the orphans who have lost their parents, and then raise them until they are old enough to be independent.

As a priest of the God of Suffering, his most important duty is to protect minor children.

"Please don't be polite. Compared to the help the God of Suffering has given me, this little money is nothing.

Oh, by the way, there are dedicated people in my mage tower every morning who are responsible for teaching common language reading and writing, arithmetic, geography, identifying animals and plants, etc.

If you have underage children here, you may consider sending them there for education.

After all, learning knowledge is one of the most effective ways to change your destiny.

If they can learn to read, write and arithmetic, it should be easy for them to find a decent job in Amn when they grow up, where trade and commerce are extremely prosperous.

It is much better than becoming a shadow thief, or being forced to become an idle beggar or a gangster on the streets."

Zuo Si gave the advice sincerely.
