Then, she continued to ask with some concern: "Leet, did you go to the casino or the bar? Or, did you go to those romantic places? Otherwise, how could you spend your money so quickly?"
"No!" Li Te shook his head with a red face. "I didn't go to those places. I still have a lot of money that you gave me, sister Chelinina. But I have some urgent matters recently and need a lot of money..."
"Is that so... I understand." Upon hearing this, Chelinina nodded, indicating that she understood. "Then, Li Te, can you tell me what it is and how much money it costs?"
"Hmm..." Li Te was silent for a while after hearing this, and then told Chelinina. "Okay, I'll tell you, sister Chelinina, but you can't tell anyone else."
"Of course, I will definitely keep the secret for you, little Lit." Seeing Lit's quirky look, Chelinina inexplicably felt a surge of maternal love and nodded to agree to Lit.
"To put it simply, I've been targeted by someone recently, and they seem to be trying to murder me."
After hearing what Lit said, Chelinina showed a surprised look.
"But, I heard that the security of the Imperial College is very strong."
"Yes, but I happened to have something to do recently and couldn't stay in the Imperial College, so I'm a little worried..."
"Can't Orson accompany you?"
"Well, Orson has his own things to do, so I plan to pay for a security guard to protect me for a while." Litt said this, stretched out his finger and made the number one sign.
"Ten thousand gold coins?" Chelinina asked doubtfully.
Ten thousand gold coins can indeed hire a very powerful bodyguard in Saint Laurent City.
Her chamber of commerce had a lot of turnover during this period, and all of this was thanks to Orson. Thinking that helping Lit was also helping Orson, Chelinina agreed without even thinking about it.
"No, one hundred thousand."
But what Litt said next made Chelinina stunned.
"One hundred thousand
Gold coins!? "Chelina stared at Lit in amazement.
One hundred thousand gold coins, wow, is Litt going to ask an eighth-level master to protect his safety?
One hundred thousand gold coins is not too much, but not too little either.
For a farmer living in the countryside, let alone 100,000 gold coins, even 10 gold coins would be a number he would never dare to imagine in his lifetime.
Although the total value of agricultural products produced by a farmer is definitely more than ten gold coins, after being taxed, the wealth left to him is very little.
For a citizen living in a city, ten gold coins are equivalent to a considerable deposit.
And one hundred thousand gold coins, in a remote city of the empire, could even allow you to buy a small town and live the life of a mayor.
And to say it is little, is actually quite little.
After all, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce President Louis and the Ali Chamber of Commerce President Muhammad had made a deal before. In order to obtain this secret of the commercial courier, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce spent a full three million gold coins.
As long as a city is not particularly remote and poor, the taxes it collects from the agricultural and commercial industries each year far exceed this figure. The reason why it seems that there is no money as much as businessmen is simply because the city needs to invest a lot of money in maintaining various facilities, institutions and organizations.
But no matter how you look at it, this amount of money is still a bit too much for Leeteuk.
"Lite, do you know what 100,000 gold coins mean?" Chelinina said this with a hint of seriousness in her tone.
It’s not that she can’t get 100,000 gold coins together. Even if she asks Chelinina to get 1 million gold coins together, she can do it.
Of course, if one million gold coins were really collected, it would inevitably have a considerable impact on the business operations of the Antica branch of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, and it might even cause the branch to be closed directly.
"I know." Li Te nodded. "But the people who want to murder me this time will only spend more than 100,000 gold coins. If I don't spend more money, I'm afraid..."
When Chelinina heard this, she was shocked beyond words.
"Lite, you mean that someone spent more than 100,000 gold coins to murder you? No, how did you know?" Chelinina discovered a problem and asked.
"Besides, Li Te, do you have something important to do that requires you to go out? If not, why can't you stay in the academy for a few more days? After all, one hundred thousand gold coins is not a small amount..."
"I..." Li Te was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Actually there is a reason."
As she said this, she coughed twice, cleared her throat, and then said, "However, I can't tell you, Sister Chelinina, why I'm going out for the time being. You just need to know that this incident is really important to me."
"Anyway, Sister Chelinina, if you are not willing to help me, then no one else will be able to help me this time. I will remember these 100,000 gold coins and will repay you later."
"..." Chelinina was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay." She said this, agreeing to Leete's request. "One hundred thousand gold coins, right? Come with me to get it. For this much money, we can only use paper bills."
"It's okay." Litt was relieved to see that Chelinina did not refuse to help him because she doubted him, and his inner liking for Chelinina increased a little.
Of course, what has increased more is my favorable impression of Orson.
After all, if Orson hadn't helped Chelinina, Chelinina wouldn't have helped herself for Orson's sake.
After withdrawing money from the bank, Lit waved to Chelinina and said goodbye to her.
"Sister Chelinina, we'll see you later. I'll treat you to a meal in Antica during the holidays."
"Okay." Chelinina nodded with a smile, and then sent Litt away.
Then, she lowered her head and pondered about something. After a while, she raised her head and walked towards the direction of the Imperial College.
……
After getting the money, Litt came to Oak Street and walked into the Orchid Tavern.
"Hello, I'm the one who was here yesterday." Litt came to the second floor and saw the half-orc girl guarding the door at the stairs leading to the third floor.
The other party didn't say anything, just nodded, and then led Litt inside.
After entering the room, Lit saw the Angel of Death covered by a cloak.
"Oh? You're here so soon, it seems you have raised the money?"
"Yeah." Li Te nodded and sat on the sofa.
"Can you agree to my terms now?"
"Of course, of course." The Angel of Death nodded. "We never have a problem with money. As long as it's 100,000, Mudd will give it to you.
Rick's head is your toy."
"Okay, that's what you said." Li Te said this and handed the money to the Killing Angel. "Your reputation has always been good. I hope you won't let me down this time."
The other party looked at the paper bills on the table and didn't count them deliberately. If he tried to get a small bargain in this kind of transaction, he would lose his life.
"I know. Okay, you can lead the orcs at the door now." The Angel of Death said, "Oh, by the way, her code name is Lion. You can call her Lion, or you can call her Big Orange or something else. It's up to you."
"Wait a minute..." Upon hearing this, Lit looked at the Killing Angel with some confusion.
"I've seen the person at the door before. Are you sure she has the ability to kill Mudrick? You know, Mudrick is a seventh-level..."
"Mudrick's seventh level is different from her seventh level." The Angel of Death smiled. "You may not know, sir? There are different levels within the seventh level. Mudrick can only be considered as a beginner at the seventh level, while she is at the peak of the seventh level. It can be said that she is only one step away from the eighth level."
"You sound so awesome, but what if you fail to complete the task?"
"If we can't complete it, we'll give you a full refund, how about that?"
"Do you think I'll still be alive to get it by then?"
"Of course. After all, no matter how weak the lion is, it is impossible for her to endanger your life."
Upon hearing this, Li Te nodded.
Then she walked out of the room and came to the door.
"Lion, right?"
"Yeah." The orc girl nodded. "This is my code name, what's wrong?"
"You have a new mission now. Follow me and kill Mudrick tomorrow." Litt said.
"Hmm?" Hearing this, the girl tilted her head with a puzzled look, then she opened the door and glanced at the killing angel under the cloak.
Only after seeing the other party nod did she close the door and walk out.
"I see. What's the location tomorrow?"
"There is an open space in the forest outside the city. Anyway, follow my instructions tomorrow."
"Okay." The lion nodded.
……
After seeing the lion that drove Mudrick away that night, Litt had an idea in his mind.
Since the other party was able to kidnap my parents by hiring mercenaries, why couldn't I also hire someone else to help me deal with the situation?
With this idea in mind, Litt came to the Orchid Tavern that day, and the answer she got from the Killing Angel was affirmative.
As long as they have money, they will take any job.
Then, Litt politely asked for the price, and the other party immediately quoted a number like 100,000 gold coins.
After all, he was going to kill a seventh-level strongman.
In the entire empire, there are not many seventh-level strongmen.
You know, a famous and powerful person like Luca, the dean of the Imperial Academy, is only an eighth-level magician.
Although the entry threshold for teachers in charge of combat subjects at the Imperial Academy is level seven, in reality, the strength of most teachers is only level seven.
There are a total of 200 classes in the four grades of the Imperial Academy, and at most there are no more than ten eighth-level teachers in charge of combat.
Among them, there is a fixed person in each grade class.
Hecate, the teacher of Lit and Lianka, and Tris, the teacher of Orson and Olivia, are two of the ten.
It can be said that among the tens of millions of people in the entire empire, there are only more than a thousand people above level seven. This ratio can be said to be one in ten thousand.
From this, we can see the horror of the Imperial Academy. There are more than a thousand seventh-level masters, more than two hundred of whom gather in the Imperial Academy to teach. The Imperial Academy alone gathers more than one-tenth of the masters in the empire.
One hundred thousand gold coins. A seventh-rank warrior is actually worth that much...
Litt thought about the expenses of the Imperial College and immediately felt a deep respect for the Imperial College.
I didn't expect that I would be surrounded by millions of gold coins on a daily basis.
Later, Litt said that he couldn't come up with so much money, and the Killing Angel was very easy-going, saying that Litt could go and raise the money first, and it wouldn't be too late to come back after raising enough.
Then, Litt remembered that Orson had mentioned before that Chelinina would come to Saint Laurent City for business in the next two days. Then, he took the initiative to find Chelinina and got 100,000 gold coins from her.
……
Back to the present, the lion and Mudrick are fighting. As a half-orc, the lion is indeed fighting with extreme ferocity. Mudrick was actually suppressed by the lion for a while.
Only at this time did Litt believe that the Lion was indeed much stronger than Mudrick.
Before, Litt thought that Mudrick was afraid to fight the lion because Virgil had consumed too much of his energy. Now it seems that even if Mudrick is well fed and rested, he still cannot beat the lion.
"Ah……"
As the sound of metal clashing resounded through the forest, the birds on the book were startled and flew away, and Mudrick and the lion briefly separated.
Mudrick looked at the lion with only mockery in his eyes.
"I didn't expect it. I really didn't expect that you would be willing to be ordered around by such a person." Mudrick tried to provoke the lion, but the other party remained unmoved.
After adjusting his pace, the lion rushed forward again, slashing the long sword in his hand through the air, and a sword energy with the force of breaking through the air was swung towards Mudrick.
Mudrick also swung out a sword and cut off the oncoming sword energy, but at this time, the lion had already approached very close and was about to attack Mudrick.
Mudrick had no time to defend himself and could only dodge to the side, but the lion still cut a hole in his clothes and blood slowly flowed down the tear in his clothes.
"Is that all?" Lion looked at Mudrick and mocked him.
"Tsk." Mudrick frowned. The wound on his waist was not deep. Fortunately, he dodged in time and only scratched his skin. The sword blade did not penetrate much into his flesh.
For him, this kind of injury is almost the same as no injury at all.
It's just that under the high-intensity activity of combat, every action of mine would involve this small wound, causing waves of slight pain in the nerves.
Compared to the severe pain from the palm of his hand after the sword fight with the lion, this minor injury was nothing. It was just bleeding, his clothes were torn, and he looked a little disheveled.
"How much money did this kid give you? I'll give you double, let's kill him together." Mudrick said this, trying to persuade the lion to surrender.
"You are a mercenary, you should understand the principle of mission priority, right?" Lion said this without stopping his attack.
There was another sound of metal clashing.
The so-called mission priority principle is to prevent unethical mercenaries from taking advantage of the situation.
