Chapter 334: Working dragon

After a long silence, Olena gritted her teeth and said, "Can you... lend me

money?"

Xia Fan raised her eyebrows in surprise. The expression made her cheeks hot,

but the words had already been spoken, and she had no way out, "I will find a

way to pay you back later."

"how much is it?"

"Three thousand gold Kern... if converted into silver, it's almost 24,000

taels."

Xia Fan was shocked, "Even if you pack a ship back to the West Pole, you can't

spend so much money?" He felt that the other party, as an ambassador, was

unlikely to have no idea about money. "Do you think I can put out so much

money and lend it to a Westerner who is likely to be gone forever? We haven't

gotten to this point, right?"

Olena couldn't help lowering her head.

When she said this, she herself regretted a little.

In normal times, her mood would never be so shaken, it was precisely because

of her urgency that she said this impossible.

"What do you want this money for?" Xia Fan was curious this time.

"Rent and...five years of tuition."

"Tuition?" He glanced at the Dragon Girl. "Can the Holy Wing Islands even be

assigned to the student as an ambassador?"

"It's not me-it's my people." Olena simply recounted her difficulty-this

matter does not involve any secrets, and the situation is already very bad,

and speaking out will not make the status quo any worse. Bad, "If he doesn't

have enough money, he will be expelled from the academy soon."

"Then let him switch to a cheaper one?" Xia Fan found that this might be a

good opportunity to learn about a foreign country.

"In the Holy Wing Islands, there are only two academies-one is a comprehensive

academy facing the nobles, and the other is the Mage Tower. My people are also

dragonborn, and the Mage Tower will not take him in. What's more, the latter

will not take him in. Outstanding talent, and being accepted as a disciple by

the teacher, otherwise a large tuition fee will be required. Whether it is

experiment equipment or magic materials, you have to pay for it yourself..."

"Did you not save your savings during your years as an ambassador?"

"Of course!" Olena stared, "If you didn't frame me, how could I have fallen

here? The silver two hidden in the mansion will definitely be raided by the

Privy Council. Even if they don't have one, other ambassadors will not. Let go

of the house where I live..."

Xia Fan suddenly.

He misunderstood one thing, and that was the frequent traffic between the West

Pole and the mainland.

Although sailing battleships have appeared on the sea, this wave of navigation

has not yet involved the Eastern Continent.

Even if the Xiji people in Daqi want to send things back to their homeland,

they still have to see when the ship arrives. There may be only two or three

consignment opportunities in a year.

If it's an important thing like money, it's even more troublesome.

Therefore, Olena is not having no plans for the future, but being placed in a

dilemma by the Privy Council.

"What is the mission of the messenger to Qiguo? In other words, what kind of

achievement is considered a great achievement?" Xia Fan tentatively asked,

"Does it also include listening to the news of Heaven?"

"No comment." Olena closed her eyes, "I knew you came for intelligence. The

torture of the Privy Council can't pry open my mouth, and you don't want to

learn any secrets from me."

"Since it's the enfeoffment lord, you shouldn't be able to do this just by

being loyal to the king?" Xia Fan touched his chin, "Your tribe... is both a

trading condition and a deterrent bargaining chip?"

Dragon Girl's brows tightened.

Seeing the other person's expression, Xia Fan knew that he could guess ten.

"Alright, I actually don't have much interest in Heaven's Dao either. But the

Western Great Envoy is actually a spy if it is plain?"

"spy?"

"I mean being careful with spies."

"When, of course not!" Olena defended, "If the doctrine of the sun ** can be

spread to the east, it will be considered a great achievement, and it will

also be awarded by the envoy! It's just that I tried a few times and didn't

make any progress... …The people here seem to prefer a more leisurely belief."

I almost forgot that there was a god.

"That's the guy named Hera you were talking about?"

"Don't be disrespectful to the gods!" Olena exclaimed, "Master Hera sometimes

hears this kind of criticism and punishes you!"

Xia Fan glanced at the opponent unexpectedly, and he noticed that Dragon

Girl's tone was not all reverence, but a little bit of fear.

"If it is truly a god, it should be done now."

"Here, the power of the sun ** will indeed be blocked, but that doesn't mean

it knows nothing about it." Olena's expression became quite serious, "As long

as it takes time, it will definitely come to the world. At that time you will

also witness its dignity, so it is best to change your mind now and embrace

it. Even if you are a stranger, it will still protect you."

Xia Fan sneered, "Unfortunately, even a'believer' like you did not see him

lend a helping hand when he was tortured in prison."

"This is because—" She was suddenly at a loss.

"Because you haven't thought of an excuse? I guess Hera didn't come out

suddenly, right?"

"The rumors about the sun ** have existed since ancient times. If you ask

about the awakening period of the god, it is indeed a hundred years ago."

Olena admitted.

100 years ago again? Xia Fan's heart jumped slightly. Yongwang opened the

Black Gate and the Six Kingdoms was also in this period. Is this some kind of

coincidence?

There are also evils everywhere, the sea is cut off, the evil horses are in

civil chaos... I feel that the whole world has undergone drastic changes

during that time.

However, he did not show it on his face, "In other words, you still lived well

without the gods. In that case, why do you have to find something for yourself

to believe in? And the gods cannot solve your current predicament. There is no

way to give you a lot of money."

"How can the gods intervene in such trivial matters..." Olena retorted weakly.

"But it's a lifelong event for you." Xia Fan shrugged, "If I can solve it,

doesn't it mean that I am more effective than a god?"

"How is it possible--" The Dragon Girl was stunned in the middle of speaking,

"Wait, would you like to borrow this money for me?"

"I can't pay so much at one time, but since it's five years of tuition, it

shouldn't be a big problem to pay in installments?" Xia Fan squinted at her,

"But even if it is divided into five parts, the money is still not a small

amount. So you have to work to repay the principal and interest."

"You mean... you want to hire me?"

"The one who hired you is Princess Qiguo. Working for the overseas royal

family will not insult your family title~www.mtlnovel.com~ The same work

content will not force you to violate the contract you made before. I think of

the Holy Wings. Lords don’t care about the disputes within Qiguo, do they?"

Xia Fan paused, "Of course this is just an extra choice for you. If you want

to go back to the West, I will still pay you a travel fee—"

"I choose the first one." Olena said quickly.

"So fast? Don't think about it anymore?"

"No need." With experience in jail, her answer this time was decisive. The

person in front of you is so treacherous, if he hesitates, he will insult

himself. "But you have to sign a contract with me and let me advance the first

payment."

Suddenly a thought came to Xia Fan's mind, dragons are born with good fortune,

don't know the same is true of dragon demon?

Olena thought about another matter.

Sure enough, I guessed right. All this person did was to squeeze his own

value. But in any case, this situation is better than being worthless.

Xia Fan may be despicable and shameless, but this choice allows him to see a

feasible way in the confusion ahead.
