Since Vivian is willing to sign a gambling contract, the next thing will be much easier.

The big nobles negotiated, but they were actually just pretending. They had already reached an alliance consensus on the big issue of fundraising in private, and the content of the gambling contract was almost discussed.

Therefore, it didn't take long for a written contract written on high-quality parchment paper to be brought to Vivian by the nobles.

The little girl glanced down at the contract on the parchment.

Leaving aside those formatted written terms, the betting conditions are simple and clear, and not very difficult to understand.

In a nutshell it's...

The Great Noble Association, according to Vivian's wishes, will give the refugees outside the city a total of 300,000 gold coins, that is, 30 million silver coins and 300 million copper coins, which is indeed a lot of money. , it will almost be able to top the tax revenue of Huodian City for a year.

But in fact, if you really want to restore the original appearance before the disaster, this amount of money is still not enough.

Of course Vivian knew this too.

Therefore, 300,000 gold coins are only used for the first stage. This is the plan she discussed with the mayor of Sorin at the refugee camp outside the city earlier today.

The so-called first stage, that is, the largest lower-level town affiliated to Huodian City, separated from the original Dreadclaw Forest, which is considered to be the town of Chiyan at the throat, for preliminary reconstruction.

After the descent of the Fallen Abyss, countless villages have been destroyed, and they are already broken. It is not so easy to recover. It can only be done little by little.

The strategy that Vivian and Mayor Solin came up with was to go from point to point, from top to bottom.

They know that with the stinginess of the nobles, it is already the limit to donate 300,000 gold coins, so how to maximize the use of limited resources is what they have to consider.

First concentrate resources and rebuild Chiyan Town as a new stronghold to replace Huodian City to receive huge refugees, and then extend downwards, self-reliant, like branches, to expand lower-level surrounding villages.

The nobles did not have much objection to this theory.

They are really making things difficult, no, it can't be said to be making things difficult, it should be said that it is an upright conspiracy, and it is the most critical "time" aspect of the bet.

The euphemism is to prove Vivienne's abilities, and to ensure that their fundraisers are spent.

The big nobles only gave the little girl one month.

That is, a month later, they want to see the first results of Chiyan Town, the standard is that it can accommodate all the refugees who are emptied and gathered outside Huodian City at this moment.

If Vivienne really did it, then according to the gambling contract, they would continue to bleed heavily, and then take out an additional fundraising fund of 300,000 gold coins.

On the other hand, if Vivienne didn't do it...

Then the little girl will have to pay a total of compensation, and bear the default debt as high as three times, that is, one million gold coins!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this gambling contract is tantamount to a big loss for Vivian.

Because in the first place, the price for both parties is not fair.

On the one hand, the noble association took the responsibility, and it only doubled, but on the other hand, only Vivian was alone, and it would more than triple after failure.

What is the concept of one million gold coins? Even an earl can't get so much money. It's tantamount to directly sentenced Vivian to life imprisonment. Can't turn over.

As for Erlai, it is also the place where the shamelessness of the nobles is most visible.

This thing is really going to be done, and it will be of great benefit to them. It will not only stabilize the public order and public grievances in Huodian City, but also restore some family properties and taxes as soon as possible. Where do the nobles get their money? A large proportion of them are relying on sucking the blood of the countrymen, importing cheap and selling at high prices.

Obviously, it is a win-win situation, but the nobles do not. They have to be insatiable. They also want to take advantage of Vivian's kindness to firmly control this emerging rookie in Huodian City.

"Okay, no problem, let's start now."

Vivian put away the contract, nodded her head to the representative sent by the noble association, and expressed her acceptance.

The second personality in the mental space can't stand it anymore.

Usually, in order not to disturb the little girl, she always put herself into a deep sleep. Only when Vivian's mood fluctuated would she wake up and take a look at the situation outside.

In the end, it didn't matter at all, and after seeing it, I let the second personality, I wish I could stand in and take a scythe and chop up all the nobles present.

The impatient voice of the second personality came from the mental space.

But Vivian shook her head at the other self.

Can't the little girl see it?

no.

Vivian believed that without herself, the nobles would still use the money to rebuild.

But why the Mayor of Sorin begged him so much, and he must let her preside over it, because if the nobles did this in person, it would be no less than a second disaster for the refugees.

That's 300,000 gold coins. A little bit of greed can lead to prosperity and wealth for half a lifetime. Naturally, in the middle of it, you can save as much as you can, and use the lowest configuration if you can use the lowest configuration.

They even said that they would not hesitate to cut corners, not thinking about the future at all, just build the house, even if it collapsed in less than half a year, but what does that have to do with them?

What they complete is the task, is to take advantage of the opportunity to make money.

Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^

And what Vivian wants to do is to really give refugees who have nowhere to go after the disaster, a home.

For this reason, she would rather take such a big risk and firmly control this dominance in her own hands.

In the spiritual space, the second personality changed his words, grinding sickles at the nobles.

"No, another me, don't always think about using violence to solve problems."

"No!" Vivian raised her voice a little to the other self, which is very rare.

Of course, the tone soon softened again.

"The other me, this is not the problem of Vulcan, but if we encounter difficulties, we want to use violence to solve it. This time is indeed a good starting point, but what about next time? What about next time?"

"I really want to develop this kind of inertia. The more I go on, the more I'm afraid I will...the less I know myself."

After Vivian finished speaking in her heart, the second personality also fell silent.

In the spiritual space, the little girl who was exactly the same as in reality sat on a high-backed chair with her legs crossed and sighed.

The black giant scythe that she was holding murderously in her hand was turned by her little hand, and the phantom dissipated.

It may be to cheer up, feel that the atmosphere is not very good, and say something encouraging.

The little girl's spiritual message resounded in the ears of the second personality.

"Let's go, don't worry about the other me! Think better!"

"We signed this gambling agreement with the nobles. As long as we successfully complete it, not only will there be no harm, but it is equivalent to an extra 300,000 gold coins than the original plan! It can make everyone return faster. to a normal life!"

"Or, another me, even you... don't believe I can do it?"

In Vivian's pitiful tone, what else could the second personality say.

What she can't eat the most is the little girl's set.

The second personality didn't finish speaking, so he stopped speaking in a fit of anger.

"Thank you, another me."

"It's also because of you, Vulcan, and Xiao Hei! That's why I, I dare to make such a big bet qwq..."

Under the coquettish coquettish tone of Vivian's little waywardness, there was a faint sound of "hum" in the mental space.

Don't look at them, they seem to communicate a lot in spirit.

But in reality, it has little effect on real time.

Soothe the second personality.

Vivian and the fat-headed and big-eared noble representative, after the two sides signed each other.

In the end, we ended with "Vulcan above" to make the contract take effect, which means being supervised by the Vulcan. This is not only the Fire Code City, but the tradition of the entire Yan Domain.

Both parties achieved their respective goals, and the atmosphere that had been a little tense at the banquet before became relaxed a lot.

After the business is done, the next step is the routine post-event socialization, and it is time to get closer to the relationship.

Vivian originally wanted to leave immediately. She was still worried about Liz's safety, but it seemed that there was no business. After talking at the dinner table, she could just get up and leave.

"Vivian, you will be very rude and disrespectful to others. If you leave a bad impression on everyone, it will be very troublesome in the future. Since you have come this far, don't It's a little bit short of the rest."

Seema looks like a friend, giving Vivienne the knowledge of etiquette among the nobles.

"But, but, Liz and the count..." The little girl hesitated.

"Oh, don't worry, Vivian! As soon as the news of our successful fundraising is released, then I believe that the kidnappers will give up soon and return Miss Liz, so you should be the best now. What we do is to make tonight's banquet come to a successful conclusion!"

Seema said, pulling up Vivian who was still hesitant, and walking towards the middle of the nobles without giving the little girl another chance to refuse.

"Look, everyone is waiting for you, let's chat in the past, this will also be good for your future reconstruction work, and you can accumulate a lot of contacts!"

Said to have a chat.

But in fact, it is pure pleasure, in the midst of a pile of non-nutritive nonsense, keep toasting and drinking.

Vivian, who was pulled over by Cima, was the protagonist of this party, and naturally could not escape the fate of being toasted.

At first, Seema pretended to help Vivian to stop the wine, but after only a few drinks, she coughed non-stop, retched slightly, and looked like she was about to stop drinking.

This suddenly made Vivian feel distressed, and quickly stopped Seema, so she couldn't drink any more, but what about the rest of the wine that Seema contracted for Vivian?

As a last resort, even if she has never drunk, the little girl can only go into battle in person.

Slightly nervous, she took a sip, the wine flowed down her throat, and a burning sensation suddenly appeared, making Vivian cover her mouth and frown tightly.

But the nobles didn't care whether the little girl would drink or not. On the contrary, Vivian's appearance aroused their interest even more.

He kept using various words of praise and admiration, but it was actually just to have a drink with the little girl.

Although in the next few cups, the throat gradually began to adapt, and the pungency that the wine brought to Vivian began to decrease, but the reason why wine is wine is not because it is spicy.

Gradually, Vivian's little face began to get faintly hot, and a blush rose on her cheeks.

If it was said that the three or four cups of Sima were drunk before, it was only

Dear, this chapter is not over, and there is another page ^0^ It's fake, then Vivienne at this moment is really a bit unbearable.

The little girl's head began to feel slightly dizzy, and her sight was slightly doubled.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Seema, who seemed to be drunk before, immediately seemed to wake up.

She took the initiative to drive away Vivian, the nobles who were getting more and more excited and wanted to drink alcohol for the little girl, this was not a conscience finding, but Xima had a more sinister trick, waiting behind.

I saw that she took Vivian, who was a little drunk, to a slightly remote corner of the banquet, pretending to keep the little girl away from the crowd and take a rest.

But in fact, under the sign of Seema's eyes, there were two nobles who had been ready to stand by and immediately walked towards them.

They and Seema pretended to be close relatives and friends, and expressed that they were very happy that Seema could make a friend like Vivian, and they were willing to raise an additional donation for Vivian with personal contributions.

Of course, the fundraising is not the real purpose, it is just an excuse for the next, as expected, I still want to give Vivian a cup and make friends.

The little girl originally wanted to refuse, and she also knew that she couldn't drink any more, but the other party repeatedly stated that there was only one cup, just to make a point. In addition, as Sima's identities as good relatives and friends, they also raised donations very "for face". big money.

Seeing that Vivian still agreed, the two nobles looked at each other, secretly showing joy. One of them deliberately stepped forward and talked to the little girl, but it actually blocked the view. The other person behind, while pouring wine, quietly went to Added some powder.

Seeing all of this, Seema, but she cooperated with another nobleman with a smile, attracting the attention of Vivian, who was already slightly drunk.

After the other party had poured the wine, he gave up his seat. Seema was the first to pick up the wine glass, and the other two nobles quickly one by one, leaving the last wine glass to Vivian.

so...

This time the terrifying summoned beast beside you is gone, and I am in an abnormal state again, can I succeed...

Seema feels that there is a high probability of failure. After all, Vivian's strength is there, even if it is a special medicine bought at a high price from the treasure thief group, it is estimated that it is unlikely.

But in fact, for Seema, it doesn't matter whether he succeeds or not. His main purpose has been achieved, and now it's just a lot of luck. Vivian has been recruited, so it's naturally the best, if not, it's not bad. to his head.

What does the dirty deed done by Seema have anything to do with him, Earl of Sisle?

thought here.

"Cheers!" Seema showed a happy expression.

Then, time seemed to be stopped at this moment, because too many things happened.

The first picture is of our Baron Teddy, getting up anxiously.

Being taken to a remote corner, others may not notice it, but Teddy won't, but he has been dutifully staring at Vivienne, and naturally he also saw the scene of the noble drugging.

But soon, the second picture appeared, and the anxious color on Teddy's face quickly turned into panic.

No, not only him, but also all the nobles in the entire banquet hall, especially, the two beside Vivian, and Seema.

They were trembling all over, their cold hairs stood upright, let alone smiling, they couldn't even breathe.

It was as if they were being stared at by something extremely terrifying ~www.mtlnovel.com~, like a real murderous aura, making them stiff.

An invisible black sickle loomed over the heads of the three of them, as if it was the next moment, it would mercilessly wave down and split them into two angrily.

However, I don't know whether to call them lucky or unfortunate.

Because the third screen, appeared.

That is...

A series of footsteps.

At a very fast speed, he sprinted to the front of the body of the three of Xima, who was actually completely stiff and unable to move.

and urgent.

Without hesitation, not even a blink of an eyelid.

Snapped!

The earl's daughter, our eldest Miss Liz, slapped Sima fiercely in the face!

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
