The Princess And The Lord-Chapter 1388: Duo Troublemakers II
Chapter 1388: Duo Troublemakers II
As Lory and her brother throwing joked and argued incessantly back and fort, Zhao Li Xin rummaged through Lory’s belongings and found a small, dark-lacquered wooden box. He wiped the surface of the boxlightly after that he opened it, and soon he saw five jade rings left inside the box.
Zhao Li Xin then close the box then handed it to Lory, "This is yours" he shortly said.
"What is this?" Lory had never seen the box before or maybe she forgot about it still she opened the box anyway soon her forehead crease, "Why... are these spatial rings too?"
"Unlike your ring, the space inside this ring is not very big because Wu San Bo’s purpose in making it was only to store some of your treasures," explained Zhao Li Xin.
"I have a treasure?" Lory shrilled, she was completely dumbfounded, obviously not knowing what Zhao Li Xin was saying.
Zhao Li Xin had guessed that Lory must have forgotten about all this, "You forgot when we held the wedding party, many royal families including some sects sent gifts to us, well even though the purpose of the party was to trap the enemy nevertheless it was still a real wedding banquet." Zhao Li Xin reminded her.
Lory immediately remembered and her eyes widened when she remembered that at that time Ming Yue Yin and Yang Xi Ying also sent wedding gifts so that the enemy would not be suspicious, but strangely they secretly competed at each other who sent a better wedding gift for Lory. This made things even worse, for some reason Bei Li Yan and the others joined in as if they had forgotten the original purpose of the wedding banquet.
As a result, everything went out of control because strangely everyone was competing with each other. That was why Wu San Bo made the rings because he ran out of space to store Lory’s treasures and he also wanted to separate the sect’s treasures and Lory’s personal treasures so he made a simple spatial ring that was only used to store treasures.
"Oh yeah, I think I heard about this..." Lory slapped her forehead. "How much wealth do I have?" She had long forgotten about all of this, let alone check it, so she had no idea.
Unfortunately she asked the wrong man, Zhao Li Xin shrugged, "I don’t know, just check it yourself."
"Alright," Lory put on the spatial rings, then one by one she started moving their contents into the empty spaces in the room.
However, after the third rin,g Fredhardt started waving his hands frantically, "Stop - stop - stop Lory! You’re going to destroy the entire Royal Art Room!"
The entire room was soon filled with boxes of gold, gems, pearls, jewelry, and bolts of silk, leather, furs, and all kinds of beautiful fabrics, there also antique vases, paintings, statues, and many other objects made from valuable material that piled up like small mountains and almost toppled some of the valuable displays in the art room.
Lory, Fargo, and Fredhardt were amazed to see the pile of gold and valuables in front of them. It wasn’t that they had never seen treasure before, it was just that they didn’t expect Lory to collect so much treasure on her own.
"Lory...didn’t you say you work as a maid, how much is your wages?" Fargo stared at the gold tael that rolled to the floor.
Lory’s mouth twitched, "You think I can do this by working as a lowly maid? It’s all because of her!" Lory threw an accusing look at Zhao Li Xin and everyone simultaneously turned to look at Zhao Li Xin.
"How rich are you?" Fargo looked Zhao Li Xin up and down inquisitively.
Meanwhile, Fredhardt looked at Lory with an approving look, "You married well."
"You think?" Lory rolled her eyes.
On the contrary, Zhao Li Xin was not afraid. In his mind, compared to the wealth he once had, what Lory had right now was only a fractures of what he used to had therefore, he never pay attention to Lory’s money nor he care.
However, if wealth was important to Lory and her family, he would not mind starting to earn money seriously again.
"Alright, sort all these...stuff for me, first of all, separate the gold, silver, crystals to increase our funds... eh, Li Xin, you don’t mind, right?" Lory forgot that there was a treasure given by Zhao Li Xin so naturaly she asked his thought.
Zhao Li Xin tilted his head indifferently, "It’s your money, it’s up to you how you want to spend it."
Lory knew Zhao Li Xin would say that , regardless, she still felt touched, Lory raised her fist t "Yeay!"
"Are you sure about this?" Fred asked
Lory answered casually "Yes, of course, what I’m gonna do with all this mountain of money anyway, it’s better to use money to fix some roads in remote areas and improve some important buildings such as hospitals and schools, don’t forget to strengthen the surrounding barriers to keep the beast away from our teritory"
What Lory said made sense, after the dark ages war ended many things had to be built from scratch, starting from repairing roads, renovating buildings, building housing, revitalizing rivers, lakes and many more, which made the state treasury run low but with financial assistance from Lory they could accelerate projects that were delayed and also improve the quality of life of the Harland people who were in remote areas such as small towns and villages.
"Well, this will indeed be very helpful" Fredhardt’s brain had sorted out what work he could do, he picked up his phone and started calling his subordinates.
while Fredhardt’s intention was distracted Fargo signed Lory with his eyes "Psst, come here!"
Lory raised her brows. "What?"
Fargo pressed his index finger to his lips then pointed his thumb to the door "Let’s get away from here!" he whispered.
Lory glanced at Fredhardt, who was distracted by his phone, and understood. Lory pulled Zhao Li Xin’s hand then stealthily left the room with Fargo.
Zhao Li Xin chuckle in amusement watching watch the big and the small sneak out like a thief. Only after they got out, Zhao Li Xin gave the empty ring
Lory glanced at Fredhardt who was busy with his phone and understood. Lory pulled Zhao Li Xin’s hand then quietly left the room with Fargo.
Zhao Li Xin chuckled seeing the big and small sneaking out like thieves. Only after they went out did Zhao Li Xin ask Lory to give one of the empty spatial rings.
Without asking Lory immediately gave one of the empty rings to Zhao Li Xin, Zhao Li Xin threw the ring towards Fargo. "Hey, this is for you."
Fargo deftly caught the object thrown by Zhao Li Xin then realized the object he caught was one of Lory’s spatial rings. "Is this for me?" his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yes, I promised to make you a spatial ring but instead of waiting for me you better use the ring you already have" Zhao Li Xin said.
"You promised to make Fargy a spatial ring?" Lory had just heard it, she didn’t expect Zhao Li Xin would be so thoughtful to her brothers, therefore she was pleasantly surprised.
"Yes, Li Xin said hewill make it for me, but who would have thought I would get it this fast!" Fargo laughed out loud that his shoulders shook.
"But the room inside the ring isn’t that big, it’s only about the size of a small bedroom, about fourteen by sixteen feet." Zhao Li Xin didn’t want Fargo to set his expectations too high.
Because, for Zhao Li Xin, the space was very small, especially when compared to Lory’s ring, let alone his spatial ring which contain mystique realm.
But for Fargo, that much space was more than enough, besides, the weapons and additional equipment he had were mostly small and compact so they didn’t take up much space.
"No way, that big!" Fargo couldn’t believe what he heard, he became even more excited. "Things that I can put in this ring..." Fargo had already made a list of things that he would store in the ring.
"Hey, previously used your blood for the ring to recognize you so no one else can use your ring" Lory reminded him.
"Oh, it has an identification system too?!" Fargo was even more amazed by the ability of his ring and looked at Zhao Li Xin with full admiration.
Fargo then patted Zhao Li Xin’s shoulder "I heard you need a special fireproof suit,huh? I think I have exactly what you need"
"What about me?" Lory felt left out.
"Don’t worry princess, we have a new explosive that you’re sure to love, who knows maybe we can make a big spark together!" Fargo smirk slyly.
Meanwhile, Lory’s eyes spark with anticipation. "Hoo, really?"
Elsewhere Fredhardt just realized he was left alone by Fargo and Lory. He clicked his tongue knowing the two must have made plans behind his back.
’Those two troblemakers!’
Fredhardt took a deep breath then pressed the call button on his cell phone, a few moments later the person on the other end of the phone pick up, Fredhardt immediately answer,
"Hey, Clift how is your situation?"
