The nobility all paid ransoms.
Louis sat in the central seat of the Countess's Castle, sipping his coffee and reading the list of the nobility who had paid the ransom.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand gold coins."
Louis was lost in thought.
Although the figure of 350,000 gold coins does not seem daunting enough, it is not a small sum.
Gold coins in the Steel Empire were very valuable.
Three hundred and fifty thousand gold coins, or even the wealth accumulated by hereditary earl from generation to generation, and it might not be so much.
To put it simply, the Sethfree Territory, as the largest territory in the northern land, had only about six hundred thousand gold coins in total.
This time, Louis earned half of cash flow of the Sethfree Territory, he gained quite a lot.
The nobility was all released.
In the whole Countess's Castle, besides Louis, Cecilia and butler Pat , there were also three nobility with different looks.
One was Elsie. She had silver hair and azure pupils. She had a cold ice bloodline. She looked so pitiful that one can't help but love her.
Another one was Count Hawking who was a fat man. He looked funny, with the buttons on his chest unbuttoned. He was the first one to give ransoms.
The last one was Miles. He was wearing a white robe with a golden cross on his face, and he was a godfather of the sun with an unpredictable overall aura. "The great Thorn Territory lord, the powerful Louis, I am the largest lord of traveling merchants in the north, the partner of the Buckville family, the giant dragon spokesperson on the Gondor continent, and also your follower, Count Hawking."
The fatty count wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"Giant dragon spokesperson on the Gondor continent?"
Louis looked at the fat man playfully.
"Yes! Louis."
Speaking of this, the fatty count could not help but raise his chest.
No wonder this guy dared to ask for a photo scroll directly without being afraid of Sethfree Territory's retaliation…
Louis muttered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. "Have you ever seen the giant dragon?"
As a legendary creature that was as famous as the golden elf, the giant and the God, the rarity of the giant dragon was needless to say. In fact, Louis yearned for such a powerful and beautiful creature. He really hoped that he could see it with his own eyes or have one giant dragon.
And Count Hawking seemed to offer this possibility to Louis.
"Dear Louis… Although I'm Gondor continent's giant dragon spokesperson…" The fat man, who looked very greasy, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.
But when he saw Louis's expression, he gritted his teeth and said, "Decades ago, in my father's era, although we were only one of the spokespersons of the giant dragon, we could still see the giant dragon on a regular basis… In the past two years, except for Gondor continent's top spokesperson families, we couldn't see the giant dragon anymore."
There was a long silence in the position of the count.
The fatty count didn't even dare to breathe heavily for fear of angering the lord of the throne.
It was not until quite a while later that the fatty count heard Louis sitting on the throne say with great regret, "All right… I know your situation. Stay aside. I want to know what your two friends beside want to say."
Count Hawking wiped his sweat and stepped back behind Louis's throne.
"You, raise your head."
Louis looked down at Elsie, who was standing in front of him. His gaze shifted from her face hidden in the dark to her chest.
It was totally different from the Countess Cecilia.
Louis thought to himself.
The former was more fragile and pure like a green apple, and the latter was more like a mature and sexy peach.
They were both delicious for Louis.
--But Louis had a more important thing to do now, which was to figure out what the people of cold ice bloodline behind Elsie was going to do. Two days ago, they were cursing him to death, but today they were just shaking hands with him and even sent the noblest descendant of the cold ice bloodline to him.
Even a fool would feel strange when he saw it.
"You are the Savior of Elsa, the fire that the frosty bloodline can rely on, and the sharp edge that even iron and steel have to avoid…"
The ancient Murphy language rang in Elsie's mouth. She closed her eyes tightly and clasped her hands on her chest. Her pale face was glowing with vitality because of this old heirloom language…
As the song went on, Louis couldn't help closing his eyes.
Since Louis didn't sense any danger, he even wanted to fall asleep in the constant singing. However, before he fell asleep, a cold feeling went through Louis's ears and reached Louis's heart again.
"What is it?"
Louis stood up abruptly.
There was even a hint of coldness in his tone.
He had a strong desire to control his own body. He would never allow any external factors to sneak into his body, let alone the extremely important core organs like the heart and brain.
"This is my best wishes, my Lord."
She lowered her head, her silver hair hanging down.
"What is ice?"
Louis said in a cold voice.
"Ice was the origin of everything. The whole Alvia was born at the moment when the ice melted, which was the best moment in the entire universe… The gods, the Titans, the saints, the fiends, and the devil Lord from hell… They were born from it."
Said Elsie in a low voice.
"And just now, the ice melted in your body."
Of course, Louis wouldn't easily believe Elsie's words. He just called the sign-in system in his heart. He didn't feel relieved until the sign-in system didn't show anything.
The system is the best guarantee for Louis.
"Is the remaining evildoer still convinced of the poor legend of creation created by a liar?" The sun sect father, who was the farthest away from Louis, wearing a white robe and with a golden cross on his face, Miles sneered, "Wake up. The sun has shone on Alvia for nearly ten thousand years, but your ice doesn't exist at all."
"Baron Louis, I'm the priest of the North Sun Church, Miles. You must have heard my name from other nobility, so you should know what I'm going to do next."
Louis sat down slowly.
"What would you do?"
"Taking half of the number of gold in the book of Sethfree Territory to worship the God of the sun. This was the old tradition of the noble clans in the northern land after their struggle… You don't want the Sun Church of the Steel Empire to know what happened today, do you?"
Miles Nathan smiled.
He didn't think Louis would refuse this request, because the latter had made enemies with countless nobility in the north. They couldn't add the sun church to the enemy list.
But to Miles' surprise,
"What if I say no?"
