Chapter 125 Arien
To be precise, Ruan Xiaozhe did not go to borrow money "personally".
Because doing so is not in keeping with the decency and dignity of the nobility.
Of course, even noble nobles sometimes need money.
Therefore, at such times, merchants who have connections with the nobles or hope to curry favor with them would usually come forward on their own initiative.
They would bow respectfully, talk about the world's affairs, brag about their mansions, and praise their families.
Then they would say something like "I, a small businessman, am willing to offer you a small gift", and the nobles would pretend to accept reluctantly and nod in agreement.
…Then, the specific details will be handled by the noble’s butler.
Therefore, under this process, most imperial nobles do not need to borrow money in person.
Not to mention those noble young men and women who had just reached adulthood, they didn't even know how to ask for a loan.
That's why Arion, the branch manager of the Kaako Chamber of Commerce, was surprised when he saw a young man who was obviously of noble birth coming to borrow money.
"Is he really from the Vodanazi family?"
……
Although the village of Filone is small, it is extremely prosperous.
The streets are crowded with people, and various shops that are rarely seen in remote villages can be found everywhere here.
Moreover, in such a small village, there are countless hotels and pubs full of people.
Not only the village of Filone, but other nearby villages and cities are equally bustling.
The reason for this is simple—because there is a magic academy here.
Thanks to the existence of the Magic Academy, this area is full of natural magic!
There are various dungeons, monsters and rare materials everywhere!
Moreover, the magicians in the magic academy often need various materials and reagents for experiments. Who will provide these things?
Most magicians are frail and sickly, and feel like collapsing when away from their desks.
Therefore, they had to hire adventurers.
The generous rewards attracted a large number of adventurers, and materials and reagents were quickly gathered, allowing magicians to conduct experiments to their heart's content and continue to hire new adventurers.
Under such circumstances, the funds allocated by the Empire to Einlogard were rapidly consumed.
When the imperial treasurer saw these bills, he would shout: "Call Os Gonadartes to me!"
……
In this way, except for a few people, a cycle of happiness is formed here.
This is also an opportunity for Ruan Xiaozhe.
As long as you have money, you can buy almost anything, which is much better than having money and nothing to buy!
……
"So please lend me some money."
"Ah, no no no, young master of the Vodanazi family, please wait a moment."
"It's not possible, is it?"
"No! It's not impossible! Of course I can borrow it."
Arien, the sheep-like branch manager, said, waving his hands hastily.
As long as the other party is really a member of the Vodanaz family, lending him money is undoubtedly a sure-win business.
He didn't expect the Vodana family to pay back the money at all. Being able to establish a connection with the Vodana family was enough!
Arien made up his mind: "I will do it even if it means draining my own pocket money..."
But as a businessman, he still had to wonder: "How much will the other party ask for?"
If it exceeds his entire fortune, he will have to ask his superiors for instructions immediately...
"How much do you need?" Arien asked nervously.
After hearing this, Ruan Xiaozhe did not answer immediately and was a little hesitant.
This scene made Arien break out in a cold sweat.
How much is it exactly?
"...Twenty silver coins are okay?" Ruan Xiaozhe said cautiously.
"……What?!"
"If that doesn't work, fifteen silver coins will do..." Ruan Xiaozhe quickly changed his words.
"..."
Arien was stunned, then he suddenly realized.
Only then did he notice that he seemed to have seen the clothes the other person was wearing somewhere - it was the school uniform of the magic academy!
"A student of Einrogard School of Magic?!?"
And it seems that he is a freshman!
Arian had heard about the strict school rules of the magic academy, so he was a little shocked when he saw Ruan Xiaozhe.
How could a first-year student escape?!
"Ah...it looks like they are from the Vodanazi family."
Arien himself was unconsciously convinced of the other party's identity.
The young man in front of him was indeed a member of the Vodanaz family. Apart from the Vodanaz family, who else could sneak out of the magic academy in the first year?
"I never thought that a noble would come to borrow money in person, but this is the Vodanazi family!"
"Twelve silver coins?" Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Ruan Xiaozhe spoke again.
"Ah, no, no less." Arion waved his hand quickly.
……
Once Arien understood the situation, he began working to make Ruan Xiaozhe feel comfortable.
He brought out tea and snacks and said that he could provide silver coins free of charge, which made Ruan Xiaozhe look at him suspiciously.
"Ah, no, I didn't have any intentions," Arion explained hastily, meeting his gaze.
"I'd better go somewhere else to have a look..." Ruan Xiaozhe shook his head unmoved.
"Really! I just thought you might not have money right now, so I wanted to help." Arion looked helpless.
How could a freshman who had finally escaped from a magic academy be rich?
The situation now should be "Money is not important, I trust you" - "Mr. Arien, you have a good vision, I will remember your trust in the future!" Such a touching scene should be!
"Oh, if that's the case... Although I don't have any money, I have some things that can be sold." Ruan Xiaozhe said.
"what?"
