The Lich of Glory Knight Spirit: Moving towards Krimasha!-Chapter 293 - 35: The Lord (3)_3

However, Jones quickly realized that it wasn’t practical to take the Gold Coin to Adelle. Twenty thousand Gold Coins weighed over three hundred kilograms. If he carried that weight, he wouldn’t reach Hilde by dawn, let alone make the round trip.

"No problem, I’ll leave the money in the castle first. When they bring the refinery’s goods over, they can take it back with them."

Saying this, Jones left the Gold Coins with Dora, donned his armor, and flew alone toward Hilde.

Along the way, Jones felt as happy as a joyful little bird, fluttering up and down and laughing for no reason. The animals on the ground looked at him with terror.

"I never thought the first order would be from Bruto, oh right, and Simon. Will other Liches place orders too? I think they will. Hahahaha, if that happens, I’ll be rich! If each Lich orders ten thousand Gold Coins, the original Lich Council alone would bring in four million Gold Coins in revenue. Although there may not be enough dragons for them to rob, they should be able to find a way to resolve that!"

*At this very moment, in Jones’s eyes, the goal of becoming a great lord seemed to be within reach.*

With a surge of enthusiasm, he crossed the long distance from Giant Snake City to Hilde as quickly as possible and appeared before Adelle.

"Adelle, I’ve received my first order! From the White Bone Holy Light Court! Twenty thousand Gold Coins are in my castle, they were too heavy to bring along!" Rushing into Adelle’s room, Jones froze for a moment.

This was because he found that Adelle seemed somewhat haggard.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing, really." Adelle, sitting on the couch, quickly straightened her hair and forced a smile, saying, "That’s great, the first order. This is good news."

"*I already gave my armor to the butler. Have it made in that style, but for adults.*"

"Alright, I got it."

*The room was quiet as Adelle and Jones stared at each other silently. The atmosphere seemed a bit off.*

"Has something happened?" Jones furrowed his brows, staring dazedly at Adelle.

"No, nothing." Adelle quickly denied, "It’s just that I didn’t sleep well last night."

*Hearing this, Jones became even more puzzled. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say and could only stand there, dazedly watching Adelle.*

After a while, Adelle softly said, "Jones, I’ll take care of things. For now, can you go back today?"

Helpless, Jones could only nod, "Alright, I’ll head back then."

"Sorry." Adelle forced a smile once more.

With the butler leading the way, Jones left Adelle’s room.

After seeing Jones off, the butler hurried back to Adelle’s side, bowing slightly and saying, "Young master, what should we do? They’re pressing us for people, but we can’t find the four missing ones at all."

"Buy four Blood Clan Slaves and give them back."

"Those four weren’t slaves; they were freemen."

"Then give them money."

"They don’t want money."

"How can they not want money?" Adelle was getting a bit agitated, "What about Adolf? Tell them to find Adolf."

The butler said helplessly, "It won’t work. They don’t even believe he exists..."

"Then tell me what to do!"

"I’m afraid... we can only find Adolf and figure out what’s going on. If the four are already dead, then we’ll have to hand Adolf over to them. Otherwise, the situation can’t be settled."
