Fraction, what does this mean? It's true that 41 gold coins are a fraction of four hundred gold coins, but according to the other party, these four hundred gold coins are also a fraction?
Uneasiness fermented in Arche's heart, at this moment, she suddenly realized an important problem.
From just now, I have always felt that something is wrong, and there are some things that do not conform to my cognition.Arche had been unable to tell what was wrong, but now she finally found out.
My father owed a lot of money, most of which were borrowed from his former cronies.Those arrears were scattered, this family borrowed [-] to [-] gold coins, and that family borrowed [-] to [-] gold coins, such a situation.
At the beginning, the value of the IOU was even less than ten gold coins. It was because the value was very small, and because of the trust accumulated by my father when he had not lost his noble status, it was easy for others to borrow it.
Later, probably because my father's trust was exhausted, and those people who had been with me in the past were no longer willing to lend him money, so that person went to a lending organization.
Of course, the empire has an official merchant association that provides loans with very low interest rates, but it is obvious that the owner of the Field family does not have the corresponding credit to go there for loans, so he can only find some non-governmental organizations with high interest rates.
Through loans to support a luxurious life and to repay the debts of relatives and friends in the past, the amount of borrowing by the owner of the Field family has become more and more exaggerated, and the arrears have gradually accumulated to the point where they cannot be repaid.
The main debt is owed to a lender, with a total of about [-] gold coins, and the rest is fragmented, owed elsewhere.
The question now is why, those fragmentary debt notes, some of which are IOUs that relatives and friends are too lazy to ask for, are all collected.
It was almost as if they were targeting the Field family.
Arche raised her head and met Meredith's eyes. She still maintained a gentle smile and her eyes were still warm.
"According to our investigation, Miss Field, you seem to have left the Imperial Capital one day ago?" Meredith said calmly, pulling Archer out of her chaotic thoughts.
"Yes." Arche didn't lie, because since Meredith said it, it meant that there had been a corresponding investigation.
"On that day, your father, Mr. Field," said Meredith.
Arche's father got angry every time he heard 'Mr. Field', and he demanded that he should still be called a title.Of course his 'friends' would love to, because that would make him happy to pull out his wallet.
"What happened that day?" Arche asked softly.
"He went to a casino in the imperial capital at the invitation of others."
Casino, Arche's head buzzed when he heard these two words.
"That casino gambled on the outcome of each battle in the Imperial Colosseum, the time of the battle, whether there will be any deaths, etc." Meredith said calmly.
"Although there is no official permission, that casino is very popular among rich people in the imperial capital. Because they are not bound by the empire's "Prohibition of Gambling Regulations", they can gamble on anything."
The woman stood up and walked towards Arche step by step along the edge of the table.
"Money, jewelry, calligraphy and painting, cultural relics, magic props, and female relatives, or your own life, anything can be exchanged for chips and bet on the gambling table."
Every time she took a step, the two balls on her chest shook, but Arche had no intention of admiring it at all.
She didn't exercise much, but her breathing was unusually heavy.
"There are three kinds of people playing in that casino: the first type is punks. They don't have any valuable assets, and they themselves are miserable. These people make a little money and gamble with the same punks at the corner table. If you light up, you will be kicked out."
Meredith held out her hand, and a valet handed her a fine brass bong.
"Can I smoke one?"
Arche remained silent, and the elf whore shrugged her shoulders.
"Take it as the default."
She lit it up and took a slow breath.
What Meredith smoked was a kind of magic leaf, which did not contain addictive substances, but only contained magic power and life force.
Humans are completely insensitive to this, but elves are highly sensitive to magic and vitality.So the elves will chew all kinds of magic leaves, or dry the leaves and smoke them as tobacco.Can relieve stress and fatigue, get relaxation and pleasure.
If you eat too much of this kind of magic leaf, you will suffer from 'magic addiction', which is somewhat similar to human's 'smoking addiction'.
"I'll continue what I just said. The second of the three types of people is the real dignitaries, the bosses of underground organizations and high-ranking nobles. They are condescending and use gambling as a game and social means. If you lose, you lose. Don't care. "
Meredith took a deep breath, feeling the pleasure brought by the strong magic power.
"The third type is people like your father who really think that gambling can make money and have some assets. Well... I have lived for so many years, and it's not like I haven't seen math wizards in vertical and horizontal casinos. But most People, don’t have that ability, and don’t have that luck.”
As Meredith spoke, she kept approaching Arche.She, who had strengthened her hearing with magic, could feel that Arche's heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
She clearly knew that the little girl's psychological pressure continued to build up, and Meredith narrowed her eyes.
What will this little girl look like when she collapses? Just imagine this, and Meredith's heart is overwhelmed with excitement.
This will remind her of the day when she was forced to collapse by Master Lilith.
"Stop talking." Arche bowed her head, resting her elbows on the table.Her mind was so buzzing that she couldn't even hear what Meredith was saying.
"Just tell me, my father..." Arche bit her lower lip. "How much money is owed?"
At this moment, Meredith had come to her side.
From sitting opposite each other as equals, to looking up and looking down, in a certain sense, it has hinted at the change of their status.
"Let's be honest, 550..."
"What! 550, then add the four hundred..."
"I haven't finished yet." Meredith smiled, taking away her bong and parting her red lips.
"550...platinum coins."
Looking at Arche's motionless, Meredith shook her head, and she slowly exhaled the smoke on Arche's face.
