Chapter 180 Gambling Agreement (3k2, 10,000 updates today!)
The reason why it is "three days" is because this is the maximum period that "Black Sword Mansion" can give in the follow-up payment process of "Black Sword Mansion" that Luo Xiu is familiar with.
In most cases, customers do not actually carry enough money with them to complete the delivery of the goods as soon as they take the photos. This is the normal state.
"Maximum payment period" is the time when guests go to the corresponding bank or family branch to withdraw money. After obtaining enough money and completing the payment of the product price to the mansion, the guest can take away the treasures taken from the mansion. Only then is the transaction completed.
"Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand", this is the unchanging trading principle pursued by Gongguan.
Although there is a possibility of defaulting on the account and causing the transaction to be unable to be completed - in fact, in the history of "Black Sword Mansion", such a thing did happen.
But in this regard, the mansion will not suffer any losses, because before the guest actually pays the price, the lots will be "kept" in the mansion, and beyond the agreed payment period, regardless of whether the guest is still willing to pay the remaining amount. , they all need to pay an extra large amount of liquidated damages, otherwise they will lose their membership qualifications in the "Black Sword Mansion".
"..." Luo Xiu recalled these while thinking about a plan to raise money.
As the plan gradually took shape, the sky turned white, and it was dawn the next morning.
…
The next day, early morning.
——Dong dong dong, a moderately strong and rhythmic knocking on the door.
Luo Xiu ended his thinking and looked at Intis, who was in cat form and was taking a nap on the wall shelf.
Intis Cat jumped off the ground, and after a burst of blue mist filled the air, she transformed into a human form, walked to the door, and opened it.
As expected, the person who knocked on the door was the waiter from the "Black Sword Mansion".
It's just that the gorgeous gilded patterns on the black tuxedo he's wearing are more complex and delicate. His status should be higher than that of an ordinary waiter.
Luo Xiu blindly guessed that he should be a housekeeper, or something similar.
"Good morning, Mr. Hammer." The butler bowed politely and said:
"Excuse me, would it be convenient for you to discuss the details of subsequent transactions with Ms. Niaf, the 'manager' of the mansion?"
"Of course." Luo Xiu nodded and said with a smile, "Please lead the way."
…
Black Sword Mansion, in the main courtyard.
In this beautiful corner of the large courtyard, the mansion has specially designated an area to create a duplex courtyard integrating lakes, gardens and pavilions.
This is the residence of "Night Witch" Niaf, and it is also the main place where she receives the guests of the mansion and handles the affairs of the mansion.
The unique design makes the scenery here unique - when night comes, the stars and moon will be reflected on the lake, and the star lily of the valley in the garden will also emit bright fluorescence like the starry sky; "Night Witch" Ni Yafu lives in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. According to her, "This is the romance that belongs only to the 'dark night'."
"Tower of the Night Witch", this is how Niaf named her courtyard. Although there was no building related to the "Witch Tower", Niaf insisted on calling it that, and the other people in the mansion followed her idea.
However, the word "witch" is taboo in the Nolan Empire where [Lost] is an illegal destiny, so the mansion is called "Tower of Night", which is a relatively official and more accepted name.
"Mr. Hammer, we have arrived at the Tower of Night."
In front of Luo Xiu, the housekeeper bowed slightly to Luo Xiu and said: "In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Ms. Niaf is waiting for you there. Please go by yourself, Ms. Niaf Don’t like seeing us.”
The expression on the butler's face showed apology, so Luo Xiu nodded and said, "I understand, sir. Thank you for your guidance and reminder."
The butler didn't respond. He just took a step back, bowed to Luo Xiu again, and then turned around and left.
After watching the housekeeper go away, Luo Xiu said to Intis who was accompanying him: "You stay here, I will go in alone."
"Yes, Lord." Intis nodded slightly and said softly, "I will obey your will."
…
Inside the "Tower of Night".
After letting Intis wait outside, Luo Xiu followed the path and pontoon bridge and soon arrived in front of the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
A deep aura emanated from the pavilion in front of Luo Xiu. It was an undisguised aura belonging to the [Lost] Witch.
Luo Xiu was cautious, and the expression on his face became serious. After staying briefly and watching for a while, he finally took steps and entered the pavilion.
Inside the pavilion, there are various decorations in a girlish and romantic style. Colorfully painted wind chimes hang from the lattice windows, and dolls, delicate sculptures and indoor potted plants can be seen everywhere. They look pleasing to the eye and clearly have been skillfully arranged.
Following the guidance of the profound spiritual aura, Luo Xiu walked lightly to the third floor of the attic.
He smelled a faint and elegant fragrance - it was the same fragrance that he had smelled when "Night Witch" Niaf led the way for Luo Xiu.
And just near the top floor of the attic, after turning around an open door on the hanging steps, Luo Xiu saw the source of the fragrance - long black hair scattered like a waterfall, what they covered was A wonderful back view that evokes imagination.
"Night Witch" Niaf, she was lying lazily in front of the small table by the window, supporting her chin with one hand, looking at the clear sky outside the window in a daze.
"...I'm coming, Ms. Niaf."
Behind Niaf, Luo Xiu greeted softly.
At the next moment, Luo Xiu suddenly felt that the spirituality exuded by the witch in front of him seemed to tremble for a moment.
A clear light suddenly flashed in Niaf's eyes. She turned around and looked at Luo Xiu with a half-smile, her eyes playful.
"You are here...ah, how do you know my name?" "...in the main courtyard, the Lord once called you by your name, and the waiter who led me here also told me." Luo Xiu replied truthfully.
We are still in the "Black Sword Mansion" scene, the "Black Sword Oath" status is still valid, Luo Xiu and Niaf are telling the truth, and they are not deceiving anything.
"Oh~ So that's it, you actually remember it..."
Niaf showed an expression of sudden realization, and then exclaimed "Ah" and said:
"I remembered! It turns out it's you, it's the sacred object 'Spiritual Fountain' you took the photo of. You are so brave!"
"You're flattered." Luo Xiu replied cautiously.
The greetings came to an end, and Niaf restrained her lazy attitude and said:
"Then, let's talk about business... Sigh."
"How do you plan to pay for the 'Fountain of Spirituality' and 'Heart of Broken Gods', a total of 213,000 gold coins?"
"..."
"That's right, Ms. Niaf."
Luo Xiu said truthfully: "My assets are basically stored in the 'Golden Country Bank' in Songyuan City. I need to contact their vice president or president to take them out and use them to pay my remaining balance." ”
"Oh~ I understand," Niaf's eyes flashed and she said, "This is indeed in line with the transaction process, but we can only wait three days."
"Understood." Luo Xiu nodded, "I have understood the rules of the mansion in advance. Please rest assured that I will complete the transaction according to the process."
"Then it's no problem." Nyaf nodded slightly and said:
"Within three days, you need to pay the equivalent of 213,000 Nolan gold coins. We accept the payment from the Golden Kingdom. bonds, gold and platinum coins of the empire.”
"After we have completed the inventory and confirmed that there are no problems, the broken spirit heart of 'False Vikal' and the divine object 'Spiritual Fountain', they will belong to you..."
Niaf explained this to Luo Xiu in detail, while Luo Xiu looked attentively and listened.
After Niaf finished explaining all this, Luo Xiu nodded solemnly and said:
"I completely understand. Once I complete the formalities at the Bank of El Dorado, I will pay the full amount."
"I look forward to this." Niaf smiled and stretched out her hand to Luo.
Luo Xiu understood, and then gently held the tip of Niaf's finger and shook it gently three times.
After confirming the subsequent transaction process, Luo Xiu asked: "So, Ms. Niaf, can I leave?"
"Of course." Niaf nodded slightly, "I'm looking forward to our next meeting. By then, I want to ask you some other questions."
After talking about these "business matters", Niaf returned to her lazy state again. She lay back on the table, and her slender arms rested on half of her tender cheeks again.
"...Okay." Luo Xiu said with a business-like smile on his face:
"I'm also looking forward to our next meeting."
…
Leaving the "Tower of Night", Luo Xiu returned to the outskirts of the courtyard, where Intis was still waiting quietly.
She saw Luo Xiu walking out of the "Tower of Night" "safely", with a look of joy on her face.
"You're back... So, where are we going to go next?" Intis asked.
Facing Intis's eyes of worry and joy, and recalling the panic that Intis showed when he made a confident bid at the auction... Luo Xiu suddenly felt that he seemed to have a little bit of it. , can understand Intis's mood at this time.
This time when I met the "Night Witch" again, she didn't tease or embarrass myself like she did when we first met... Maybe Lord Gawain's warning took effect? Or is she no longer interested in testing me... Luo Xiu thought while saying to Intis: "I have reached an agreement with the 'Night Witch'. Intis, let's leave now." Black Sword Mansion'.
"Afterwards, you and I will go to the Bank of Gold."
…
Songyuan City, Bank of El Dorado.
Three days have passed since Luo Xiu came here last time.
In Luo Xiu's calculations, the value of the first two investments in "Plague Prevention", "Edible Monsters" and "Magic Stone Military Industry" that he participated in the investment should have increased again in these three days. Some.
If the taxes required to withdraw them are not taken into account, then all the visible assets I own should have reached more than "2.1 million"... Luo Xiu thought about it, and he greeted the respectful greetings of the bank waiters. His eyes went straight to the third floor and to the office door of Vice President "Gonzalo Manston".
Luo Xiu knocked on the door gently, and after getting the approval of the gentle voice inside, he opened the door and walked in.
"Ah, it's you! Mr. Luo Xiu!"
Seeing the distinguished guest, Gonzalo put down the newspaper and wine glass in his hands, and greeted Luo Xiu in a joyful voice:
"Are you coming here this time to sign another perfect contract with us?"
"Oh, of course, Mr. Gonzalo."
A friendly smile appeared on Luo Xiu's face and he said: "For you, that is absolutely a perfect contract."
"I would like to use all my investment assets to sign a "Gambling Agreement" with the 'Golden Country Bank' and you."
