Chapter 721 The one who owes money is the boss
In front of the nobles.
Kenridin began his eloquent performance without blushing or heartbeat.
It started with "difficulties faced by the royal family", then went to "every gold coin should be used properly", then "I hope everyone can understand it", and finally turned into "please work together with me to tide over the difficulties." ".
In a tirade that lasted for more than an hour, Kenridin made the nobles in the throne room dizzy with his endless words. They wished they could find something to quickly stop His Majesty the King's mouth!
Because Ken Ruidin talked for a long time, but it was all empty words.
He didn't even mention a word about gold coin compensation.
Some people really can't stand it, and even if it's not decent enough, they can't help but say:
"Your Majesty, we can understand the difficulties of the royal family, but we are also very difficult, so..."
Ken Ruidin immediately looked like he had heard something from a close friend: "You are right! So now is the time when we should overcome the difficulties together. I am so relieved that you, dear ones, have such an awareness!"
The other nobles immediately looked at this guy who was talking nonsense with murderous eyes.
The nobleman who spoke turned green.
Kenredin slandered him!
He obviously wanted to sell out badly so that he could have a reason to get their share of compensation.
As a result, Ken Ruidin changed the topic to the completely opposite angle.
That's not what he meant at all!
…
Anyway.
The end result is obvious.
The nobles did not get a single coin from Kenredin.
What they got was a large and round pie drawn by the king.
"My dear friends, don't worry!"
"The monster red tide is approaching, and the royal family's finances are also very tight. I'm afraid I won't be able to compensate you for the gold coins you lost in the scam in a short period of time, but - I will definitely replenish you in the future!"
As for how long this future will last?
Although Ken Ruidin did not specify the specific time, he implicitly hinted:
"The kingdom needs more help to resist danger. Everyone - if you think you are competent enough, why not consider rushing to the front line and fighting monsters to show your bravery?"
What can the nobles do?
The money is in Kenridin's hands.
Moreover, the money was legitimately taken out by the other party. They were not reasonable and could only hope that Ken Ruidin would let go.
The cake painted by the king was placed in front of him.
If you eat, you may not be able to enjoy the treatment of painting cakes;
If you don’t eat it, then it definitely doesn’t exist!
At least until they get back most of the gold they lost, these people will have to obey Kenredin's demands honestly.
…
Prince Vladin described the whole process vividly, which made Pet and the others happy.
They didn't expect that the king would make a wonderful meal of three fish without them even realizing it.
Resolved issues with Rune Monger;
The reputation of the royal family and the king was greatly boosted in the royal capital;
He also manipulated the manor nobles who had become a burden to the kingdom, forcing them to do their best for the kingdom for a long time to come.
When Pett and the others took action, they didn't consider so many things at all. They only focused on solving Rune Mongolia in order to find the cultists behind him.
King Kenridin obviously thought much more profoundly and comprehensively than they did.
"At this time, only those who owe money will have a say!"
Gale laughed with deep emotion.
The nobles simply did not dare to take the initiative to ask for money from Kenredin.
Because this gold coin is essentially compensation.
The king is willing to compensate them out of love. If he is not willing, no one will say anything!
After all, Kenridin was filling the hole for Rune Monger, rather than digging the hole himself.
Whoever dares to force something will become the negative image of "ungrateful and greedy" and be despised by everyone.
Kenridin plays with a scheming hand.
As long as he drags this matter out slowly, the aristocratic shortcomings that have become a disease will be greatly alleviated.
Dolan blinked and came up with a bolder idea:
"I think His Majesty can do even more."
"For example - he can finally give fines to the nobles now, right?"
"As long as he announces that he will deduct part of the compensation they should have received, no one will dare to question him, right?"
Prince Vladin roared.
Compared with Dolan, their moral bottom line is as noble as a saint.
Dolan can always come up with more bottom-breaking operations in unexpected directions.
Shameless, but very useful!
…
It is worth mentioning.
For those cultists who were connected to Rune Monger, although the Glow Cult found clues from Monger, when the Crusaders gathered to pounce on them, they were already empty.
Just as Peter and the others had expected.
Cultists are not fools.
After the Gilt Club was exposed, they quickly completed their evacuation without any intention of lingering.
As for the handling of Rune Monger himself.
There is no doubt about it.
Burning.
Even if you don’t count the shocking scam he made about the Gilded Club;
Just long-term and active communication with cultists and funding were enough for him to die several times.
What's more, even if the Glow Cult is willing to let him go, King Kenridin will not let him go.
The king was willing to let him go.
The citizens of the capital, especially the nobles, wanted to tear him apart alive.
This was a ruthless man who almost trapped the entire capital and even the entire Reyak Kingdom with his own strength.
He was taken away by the Crusaders, which in a sense protected him, allowing him to live safely until the day of execution.
The day of the execution was set shortly after the end of the monster red tide next year.
This is also a traditional practice.
The death penalty is a big deal, especially in the capital.
Many criminals who have been sentenced to burning, hanging, beheading and other punishments will not be escorted to the execution ground immediately.
Instead, they will be imprisoned in prison and "repent" for at least a few months with the help of the glow priests before they can be justly executed.
This practice has been maintained for hundreds of years, and the reason seems to be related to the evil god in the void.
But most people no longer pay attention to why such a process is carried out, and only regard it as a step that must be completed.
In short, if everything goes well, after the red tide of monsters ends at the beginning of next year, Pete and his friends may have time to take the airship to the capital to enjoy the burning ceremony prepared for Rune Monger.
In this way, everyone discussed various news and stories about the capital, nobles, churches, monsters, etc. on the airship. The air trip across the entire Reyak Kingdom ended quietly without knowing it.
Towards dusk.
They could already see the iconic huge magic crystal on the Countess Castle in Ceylon City from afar!
Ceylon City has arrived!
