The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (Chapter 97)
"Fifty-seven thousand nine hundred and eighty-four gold coins."
Having misunderstood Song Ning's meaning, Lance used a more precise way of putting it.
"Wait, wait, wait."
Song Ning shook his head frantically, then looked at the sky and the ground, and suddenly pulled out a large sword and swung it several times on the spot.
"It's quite heavy, does it feel like I'm not dreaming?"
After muttering to himself for a while, Song Ning picked at his ear again.
"If I heard correctly, we have more than 50,000 gold coins?"
Where did all these gold coins come from?
Lance was even more puzzled by his surprise, "Is more than 50,000 really that surprising? That number isn't that much."
"And I thought you should know this very well, our gold coins are all kept with you."
He only had a few hundred gold coins on him for daily expenses.
"Well, the problem is, haven't we spent a lot of gold coins to expand our power?"
Song Ning didn't understand, Song Ning was shocked, Song Ning made a sound like "Aba aba".
He's fine in every other way, except that he might not be very sensitive to certain numbers sometimes.
“Development is in its early stages,” Lance explained to him. “By the middle stage, many wealthy people and nobles had joined the Alliance. Although we did not require them to, many of them would voluntarily ask to pay membership fees.”
"What is this? Membership fee? We don't recall ever being asked to pay this, did we?"
"Yes, but they believe that not paying is equivalent to not being recognized as a member, so many people voluntarily paid the fees. Some even thought that paying more would bring better benefits to the alliance, so they took the initiative to pay more money."
"Hiss, what are they thinking? We didn't do any of this kind of advertising. Are we just going to accept it like this?"
Now that you mention it, he seems to remember something; it seems Lance asked him about it before.
Song Ning's eyes were opened. He used to wonder why people would donate so much money to the church, but now he realized that there were quite a few people like that.
The hotel dinner arrived. Lance opened the door, took the plate containing roasted lamb chops and white bread, turned around, closed the door, and reset the soundproofing magic circle.
"It can only be said that most people are still brainwashed by the church's teachings. But in the end, they just want peace of mind, so accepting is better than refusing."
That money wasn't wasted either; it was mostly invested back into the development of the Alliance. You can tell from the Alliance's current massive power network that not a single penny was wasted or squandered; all the money was spent wisely.
"More than 50,000 coins were our own money. Now the funds in the Tongmenghui are more than a hundred times that number."
Otherwise, it wouldn't have developed into what it is today. Moreover, they often allocate a considerable amount of funds to provide welfare to ordinary members of the Tongmenghui. Although black bread and eggs are not expensive, the frequency and quantity of distribution add up to a significant expense.
"So, we're rich now, and very rich?"
After Song Ning finished asking the question, he saw Lance nod and his feelings suddenly became complicated.
"So, does that mean we didn't need to come here for revenge at all? With our current power, wouldn't it be possible that we could easily take down Alpha if we manipulated things from behind the scenes?"
Lance noticed his sudden loss of fighting spirit, so he came out and pushed the cut lamb chops and soft white bread in front of him, and then brewed a sweet and delicious hot drink by adding black tea and honey to milk.
"No one knows how things will turn out before we arrive, and the most satisfying way to take revenge is to do it ourselves."
Song Ning looked at the lamb chops and white bread that were cut just right for him to eat, and then smelled the hot milk tea with its sweet aroma wafting from it. His expression was complicated and tinged with a hint of doubt.
“I’ve always suspected that you’re raising me like a cub rather than a lover, and now I think I’ve found the evidence.”
Even if he has been pampered and his skin looks better and he looks younger during this time, no one would think he is old enough to need milk just by looking at his face.
Lance chuckled at the questioning, then got up and leaned over to place a passionate kiss on Song Ning's cheek.
"Of course not, I could never do that to a cub. And I don't think anyone knows your age better than me."
With a blank expression, Song Ning pulled the person back and gave him a hot, passionate kiss to prove that he was indeed not very old.
On the other hand, he silently rolled his eyes in his heart. He had said long ago that this dragon had gone astray outside, hadn't he?
See? He was absolutely right. This dragon went out for nothing, and now it's back completely unopened. If you cut it open, you'd probably find it's all yellow inside.
Having gained a clearer understanding of the Alliance, Song Ning's current strategy is to remain calm and composed.
As he watched Lance destroy the parchment to cover his tracks, he plotted how to take advantage of the chaos to get his hands on the scales from the black-robed man's hand.
Even if he couldn't get his hands on it, he absolutely couldn't let that thing fall into the hands of some immortal witch or church. He had a feeling that it would only be detrimental to those two forces, especially Lance.
Having devised a plan, he quickly arranged for a nobleman from the Alliance to make contact with a member of the royal family close to Alpha.
The nobleman claimed to have contracted plague magic and sought help from Iphis, but was naturally turned away by Iphis, who was overwhelmed with other matters at the time.
But Ephesus himself knew that when he met this nobleman, he had rejected the man's plea for help, while the others did not.
The rejected nobleman turned to Sarahmandy and expressed his admiration for Iphis in the exaggerated tone typical of nobles.
“Bishop Iphis warmly welcomed me, but unfortunately he was seriously injured while purifying the plague magic. Even though he desperately wanted to heal me, he was powerless to do so. However, I could understand and feel Bishop Iphis’s feelings, and I hope that the God of Light can bless Bishop Iphis to recover soon.”
He talked on and on in front of Sarahmandy, then casually mentioned, "However, I think those knights are still too useless. Bishop Iphis is already injured, yet they still need Bishop Iphis to solve the problem of the dragon's whereabouts. If you ask me, no matter how many dragons are found, Bishop Iphis's health is the most important thing. Nothing else matters!"
Alpha, who was just about to come over to ask Sarah Mandy who had come to see her, stood outside the door. In an instant, his face darkened and he gritted his teeth.
It was indeed Iphis, it was definitely someone from the temple!
