Blessed by abundance, be a Terran curse

Since I'm here now, it won't be a problem if I wait for a while.

Lamaren dialed the number without hesitation, but it was Warfarin who answered the phone.

"Ms. Huafalin, hasn't Huangcao returned to Eden yet?"

In fact, during their normal conversation, she had already learned from Huafalin that Huang Cao had gone to Victoria two months ago, but she was not sure whether he had returned.

"No, is there something wrong?"

Huafalin answered without hesitation.

Ramalen told Warfarin the details of Theresa's upcoming visit and expressed her concern.

Warfarin couldn't make up her mind either, but she could transfer the call to Victoria.

Lamaren couldn't transfer the call because she didn't have the landline number for the Speaker's office, and a certain grass hadn't told her about it.

"Sorry to trouble you."

After a few beeps, about a minute later, Huang Cao's voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Speaker's Office, what can I do for you?"

What a serious voice, just like a recital singer reading the newspaper next to my ear.

"Hello, Mr. Speaker, what should I do if Her Highness Theresa unexpectedly visits Banshee Valley? I'm a little worried."

Why does this voice sound so much like Lamaren? I remember I never gave her my phone number.

Oh, it's a transfer...

Huang Cao, who was reviewing documents on the other side, blushed slightly when he heard this playful yet mature voice, and then said seriously:

"Oh, my goodness, this is so unfortunate, the news is as bad as the tone in which King Aslan read the edict.

I don't know if this demon king is here to borrow money or something else, but it doesn't matter. The demon sisters have earned all this through their own labor, so what is there to be ashamed of or hide? "

"These are all your creations, your sweat and hard work. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Speak openly and honestly. Just say that these things were obtained through an equal transaction between you and a certain Victorian speaker."

"If I had to invent an identity, I'd say the Speaker of Victoria has a wife who is a witch."

It was an almost perfect argument, and Lamaren couldn't even find any point to refute it.

But the witch wife mentioned by the other party is really a bit worrying~

But then again, how could Huang Cao not know what Theresa was planning?

In order to obtain his help, the demon king must pay a substantial price.

How much is beauty worth? There is no free lunch in the world.

With the powerful blessing of the Originium beautification package, this land has never lacked beautiful appearances.

Besides, isn’t Warfarin attractive? I think Sister Lamaren is also in her prime.

Theresa? No mercy!

I am the Duke Protector of Victoria, Speaker of the House of Commons and Chancellor of the Exchequer. My status and resources are far greater than those of the devil Theresa.

Even because he had acquired 15% of Victoria's land area, Huangcao had actually long looked down on the land of Kazdel.

It is a kind of food that is tasteless and a pity to throw away.

But he had also made an agreement with Ramalen, agreeing to witness Theresa's change of mind, and also to bet on whether a civil war would break out between the brother and sister in the future.

So far, Huang Cao thinks that as long as this pink-haired girl doesn't cause him any trouble, he should let her play by herself.

Of course, if the land is given to him, that is a different matter. He will accept it anyway.

Anyway, according to the original novel, this brother and sister didn't achieve anything famous in a hundred years.

After receiving a positive answer, Lamaren continued to leave her best friend alone for another half an hour.

After all, this was a rare private conversation between the two of them, and finally there was no Huafalin interrupting on the other end of the phone.

About half an hour later, the phone call was finally hung up, and Huang Cao prepared to continue working to pave the way for his fellow legislators to inherit the throne.

After all, the procedures for the fiefdom still have to be followed. After taking over the king's power, a series of operations must be carried out to stabilize the situation in Victoria to prevent it from being taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives.

Fortunately, the Cyber Ghost's Originium database has a built-in translation. Huang Cao has been in this world for more than ten years and has learned almost all the languages of the world. Otherwise, it would be a question whether he could understand these files.

At the same time, he also prepared to add some population to his newly acquired territory.

After all, it takes a lot of energy to manage such a large fiefdom well.

The territory obtained by Huangcao is apparently quite barren, so according to Victoria's contempt chain, such a rotten land should be inhabited by the remnants of the previous dynasty such as the Tara people.

Huang Cao also had the same idea. After all, he was a foreigner and had the blessing of his reputation and status as the Protector of the Country.

This approach would not cause anyone's disgust, and even many nobles would give him the green light.

After all, in a sense, the Tara people are also unstable elements, and it would be great to have someone to help them solve the problem.

In fact, the Tara people are also Filin, not Vaifan or Drak with dragon characteristics.

……

"Let His Highness come in and store all the food we brought in in the warehouse."

Although I have become rich now, I still have to pay back what I borrowed.

Theresa waited and waited at the gate of Banshee Valley. After a long time, her best friend finally came to pick her up.

As soon as they met, the pink-haired boy began to apologize like a textbook example.

In response, Ramalen could only nod and accept the apology, and then took the other party's hand and walked into the Banshee Valley.

Mr. Huang Cao is right.

The banshees neither stole nor robbed. Life in the valley was created by their own efforts, and there was nothing shameful about it.

As for Theresa wanting to borrow money from herself?

Lamaren just tells the truth.

The money was provided by Victoria's wife, the Speaker of the House, and I just took advantage of it.

It’s okay to borrow a few thousand gold coins, but don’t even think about borrowing tens of thousands.

After hesitating for more than an hour, Theresa finally entered the Banshee Valley.

As soon as he came out of the maze, the demon king was shocked by the scene before him.

What caught the eye were neatly arranged houses, each of which, decorated by the banshees, looked as exquisite as a work of art.

Is this still Kazdel? Have I traveled through time?

Chapter 78: Can your Lord Speaker lend it to me?

Why on earth?

Obviously, everyone came from poverty, so why is Banshee Valley developing so well? Have they struck gold?

But I see you don’t have the equipment to refine large-scale gold mines.

And what are the lines on these poles? Are they some kind of spellcasting equipment that I don’t understand?

"These wires are part of a machine called a telephone. Wherever the wires are connected, both ends can communicate with almost no delay, even if they are hundreds of miles apart."

Lamaren introduced very naturally.

"There's such a good thing, why didn't you tell me, Lamaren?"

"It's expensive, and these lines are built for selling goods. We won't use them easily when there are no orders."

In fact, they use it almost every moment, and Mr. Huangcao does not charge them for the calls.

You only need to pay some maintenance fees and electricity bills every year, so it is free to use.

Theresa touched the rubber-covered telephone cord. "I see. Excuse me, what's the other end of these telephone cords?"

Lamaren lied without hesitation and pointed out on the spot that these phone lines were all connected to Victoria.

Where else could it actually be?

It’s just that sometimes my sisters are too lazy to go out and just make a phone call to chat with each other.

So far, only the telephone line in Lamaren's own room can reach Eden and Victoria.

"But even if you want to do business, you only need one phone line, right? To connect so many..."

Theresa felt like her brain was a little confused. Wouldn't it be enough to leave all the business matters to Lamaren?

Why should every household install one? If it is really expensive, can it really pay off?

My Lord, sometimes you don't have to be so clever...

"Because these threads all go to Victoria, the aristocrats all want a unique and respectable piece of clothing. Each of my sisters weaves a unique pattern and design."

"So our business strategy is one-on-one service. Since we need to frequently modify the style according to the customer's needs, we charge a high fee."

Victoria, why are Banshees involved with this country?

So we immediately returned to this issue.

Why is Victoria willing to work with Ramalen alone, but not tell the news to the Demon King, the real representative of power in this country?

"Because the Speaker of Victoria doesn't want to trouble you, and there are some private transactions between us."

"Mr. Speaker?"

Theresa had never heard of this name.

As he was constantly fighting the battle to defend his country, Kazdel rarely received news from the outside world.

Unless it is major international news related to itself, such as the destruction of Letania or other countries.

But all along, the demon king knew that Victoria was ruled by King Aslan.

This information is not too outdated. After all, I heard a few words when I was beaten.

"That's right. The Banshee Valley has achieved what it has today thanks to the help of the Speaker. Otherwise, we wouldn't even be able to guarantee a good harvest."

There was gratitude in Lamaren's tone, because it was indeed the case.

So the question is, why on earth would you, as the Speaker of Victoria, help you?

Although Theresa really wanted to take a bite of the pie that fell from the sky, she did not believe that there was such a thing as a free lunch.

So what are your Py deals?

Seeing that her best friend didn't trust her, Lamaren could only reveal the words she had prepared long ago.

She instantly transformed into a movie queen, putting on a sad expression:

"Because the Speaker's wife is a banshee. Unable to bear the environment in Kazdel, she ran away from the valley. After many twists and turns, she fell in love with the current Speaker."

In short, a whole set of very bloody love stories were made up.

Finally, in order to give back to her mother tribe, the Banshee asked the Speaker to invest money to help the development of the valley.

It can be said that it is very reasonable and well-founded. At least Theresa believed it because she is a very emotional person.

Compared to cold interests, she believes more in human emotions.

But why can't we add a little bit of benefit to these emotions?

Isn’t the money tree here?

Sorry, little banshee, can your Lordship lend it to me?

There was no way. Ever since Theresa saw the beautiful environment of Banshee Valley, she knew she could never go back.

If every Sarkaz could live in a house like this, I would have no regrets even if I died.

If this is possible in Banshee Valley, why not other areas?

Help me, Mr. Speaker!

"Lamaline, could you introduce me to the Speaker of Victoria?"
