Chapter 239 The impoverished Flynn
Gustavo Flynn gave his servant a good beating.
Because this person was responsible for sending the invitation letters, and Isabel's one was also sent by him, but he didn't even tell him Isabel's address.
Of course, this is not his fault, because many invitations were sent out, and Gustavo Flynn never asked where these people lived.
The beating he received this time was entirely because his master was holding back his breath.
But knowing that he was wronged, the servant could only admit his mistake loudly, hoping that the master could forgive him.
Gustavo Flynn put down the whip only when he was so tired that he was sweating profusely.
“Prepare a carriage for me, and then go away for treatment.”
The opponent is the lich, so there is nothing to talk about.
He knows this old guy so well that even if the Prince of Lies takes action himself, he cannot convince him with words.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Gustavo Flynn couldn't wait to get on the carriage.
When he becomes president, everything will be fine.
The wrinkled green goblin seemed to have long been accustomed to others yelling. He just took off his glasses leisurely, wiped the saliva on his glasses as if nothing had happened, and then said to the angry alchemist: "Master Flynn , According to our understanding, it seems that you still owe money to many nobles, and these debts add up to six to seven million gold coins. "
Hence, this goblin bank is like a semi-official bank and has a very good reputation in the dwarf kingdom.
The green goblin put on his glasses again and said seriously: "If it were in the past, of course this small amount of money would not be a problem. But Master Flynn, the past was before, and the present is now. Not only do you owe millions of gold coins, you also Instead of spending the money on rebuilding your alchemy laboratory, you spent it on the election of the Alchemist Council."
The belongings have been almost depleted a long time ago, and now the only way to make money is to take a loan.
Gustavo Flynn is quite confident about the loan. After all, he is also a legendary alchemist. With a little bit of his patented formula as collateral, he should be able to get a lot of money in exchange.
“You have investigated quite clearly.” Gustavo Flynn snorted coldly.
Gustavo Flynn stared at the other party with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "One million gold coins? Can I understand that this is an insult to me from your bank?"
Gustavo Flynn said in a very dark tone: "Go to the Goblin Bank."
Gustavo Flynn said disdainfully: "Do you think I can't afford to pay back this gold coin?"
These goblins are also very knowledgeable and provide many benefits to the dwarf kingdom every year. There is no shortage of gold in the dwarf kingdom, so these goblins tried their best to find those rare treasures from all over the continent and send them to them.
The driver quickly asked: "Master, where are we going?"
But he had no choice, because the only way to persuade Amberxiu to support him was to give money, and it was not even a little. This lich's appetite may be greater than that of all the goblins combined.
Because the dwarf kingdom implements the policy of equality for all races, races that are hunted as monsters in many places can live in this kingdom. Even goblins can live in this country.
However, when he saw the goblin wearing gold half-moon-rimmed glasses, the other person's reply made him furious.
If he had any other choice, Gustavo Flynn did not want to deal with goblins. No matter how smart the goblins were, they still looked evil and greedy, sucking more blood than vampires.
Most goblins are dirty, stupid, and bloodthirsty monsters, but a few elites among the goblins will awaken unparalleled wisdom and are especially good at mathematics. Therefore, these elites among the goblins can understand finance and take advantage of the gold of the dwarf kingdom. , I don't know how many benefits it has gained from other countries in peacetime.
The Goblin Bank is a unique financial institution in the dwarf kingdom.
"Of course, those in our profession must keep abreast of the movements of various big shots. Please forgive me for being direct. Master Flynn, you put all your bets on the election. If you fail, can you afford it?" Is this a blow?"
Gustavo Flynn said confidently: "I will not lose."
“Hehe, Master Flynn, you are the smartest person in the world, but I am not a fool. What you are competing with is our court alchemist, who has an advantage over you regardless of background or personal status.
"So according to our bank's judgment, you have a high chance of losing the election. And once you fail to become the president, what will you do? Let me assume that you will not be willing to be overwhelmed by that Master Baker , so you will most likely choose to start over in another place, then will you delay your trip because of these arrears? "The meaning of this green goblin is very clear. Once the election fails, Gustavo Flynn will run away. road, directly leaving the sphere of influence of the dwarf kingdom. They must be too lazy to pay back the millions of gold coins they owe. Anyway, those little nobles have no way of pursuing cross-border repayment.
It is precisely because of this danger that Goblin Bank set Gustavo Flynn's credit rating very low. The amount of one million gold coins was given based on the word "legend". Otherwise, not even a single gold coin would be given. I won't borrow it.
Gustavo Flynn didn't refute the question of running away, but just asked: "Then have you ever calculated an account, how much can you gain if I succeed?"
The green goblin crossed his hands on his knees, leaned against the back of the seat, and said with a smile: "Our bank has a lot of money-making businesses, and the risks are not big. There is no need to take such risks. You know, our money It's also depositors' money, and we always have to think about our customers, right?”
Gustavo Flynn stood up, looked down at the goblin, and said in a very serious tone: "So what do you mean, there is no more talk?"
The green goblin still maintained a polite smile and said to the angry alchemist: "Of course not, Master Flynn, your value is very high, we just don't have any guarantee, so we can't loan it. As long as you can get If you provide a sufficient mortgage, you can negotiate how much you want to borrow.”
Gustavo Flynn said: "I can put up a few of my recipes as collateral."
The green-skinned goblin shook his head and said: "It's useless for us to ask for the legendary level formula, and... our dwarf kingdom has very loose restrictions on alchemy patents. You should know that this is no longer the kingdom of alchemists. "
Gustara Flynn gritted his teeth, which is why he must re-establish the Alchemist Council.
The dwarf kingdom has loose patent management. It is clear that there is no law in this area at all.
However, only Alchemy City and Silver Moon High Court in the entire continent have so-called patent laws. Even Ryan only gives corresponding rewards instead of letting you hold the patent for a lifetime.
Alchemy in the dwarf kingdom does not need to worry about copyright issues at all. As long as your potion has no problem with its effect, it is genuine and can be sold freely.
This reason is also related to the former Alchemy City. This kingdom monopolized too many alchemy patents. If other kingdoms did not want to use piracy, they would have to pay a terrifying amount of money every year to purchase genuine medicines.
This cost is so high that the dwarf kingdom feels heartbroken, so other kingdoms use a large number of pirated potions, and occasionally spend some money to buy genuine ones and imitate them. That is to say, the technical barriers of Alchemy City are high enough, and sometimes your imitation is more expensive than the original, forcing others to buy it.
Now that the Alchemy City is gone, the Dwarf Kingdom was not so kind when it occupied this land. Many alchemy factories were forcibly acquired by the Dwarf Kingdom, and many alchemy formulas were also obtained.
In this case, if Gustavo Flynn wanted to use the alchemical formula as collateral, the Goblin Bank would definitely not be able to agree. There is no copyright protection for this thing. Just a piece of paper is useful. When this piece of paper is seen by others, it has no value.
Because all the employees in the Goblin Bank who have seen this recipe will copy a copy without hesitation, and then sell it, and it will be known to everyone in less than three days.
Not to mention that they didn't do a good job of keeping secrets, all the rules of conduct of the Goblin Bank are formulated according to the laws of the Dwarf Kingdom, and the formula patent is not protected, so it is "legal" for them to make several copies, because it was originally In a bank, this is not called stealing.
If the dwarf kingdom does not protect the privacy of its depositors, then they will not hesitate to sell all the depositors' information. Unfortunately, many ministers of the kingdom save money in this bank, so keeping customer privacy confidential is written in the law. .
The formula is worthless, so Gustavo Flynn really has nothing to offer.
“In that case, I won't waste everyone's time.”
After saying this, Gustavo Flynn was about to leave the bank, but the green-skinned goblin stopped him again: "Master Flynn, don't be so impatient. General alchemy formulas are not valuable, but some are still valuable. It's very valuable. We know that you have a very valuable knowledge in your hand, and we can provide you with an interest-free loan of 100 million gold coins.”
Gustavo Flynn had a bad premonition and quickly asked: "What are you talking about?"
The green goblin smiled and said: "Master Flynn, I believe you must know the truth about the disappearance of the Alchemy City and the magic circle buried in the sewer, right?"
Gustavo Flynn frowned and asked: "How do you know?"
"Haha, there are fortune tellers in the dwarf kingdom. Although they are not as accurate as the legendary fortune tellers in predicting the future, what has happened is still easy to divine. Our bank is very interested in your plan for mortals to become gods. "
Gustavo Flynn stared at the green goblin and asked: "This is not something that ordinary people can know. What is your status in this bank?"
The green goblin raised his glasses and said slowly: "I am the president of this bank, Donald Grandet. Master Fran, we are really sincere in wanting to cooperate with you. I don't know what you mean." how?"
