Chapter 100 Ana and the Warlock
The Grand Duke of Anna was the rule of the Principality of Tosent after her husband's death.
The female grandpa is vain and arrogant, likes the glitz of the upper class, and does not hide the class differences at all. Apart from a beautiful face and figure, she is almost useless... The key is that she is also a political idiot.
Logically speaking, such people are by no means suitable for leading the country.
But after comparing with those ambitious people in the north, everyone silently gave Grand Duke Anna a thumbs up. Whether it is the Cooper Union who is trying to control the economy behind it or the shadow elder of the vampire, they all think that Anna is actually not bad to be Grand Duke.
Over the years, Anna signed a lot of tax reduction documents under the deception of her consultants, which objectively made the middle and lower classes live better. Especially the Principality of Toustente does not support an army, which makes the country's finances far more abundant than other countries.
Anna also has another advantage, that is, she always spends more money based on the amount of money in her wallet, and if she doesn't, she will secretly cut off the banquet. Her "squandering public funds" method is very small at all. In fact, many people understand this, but no one has explained it so much that Anna's female grandfather envies the "richness" of northerners. She never understands that there is another spending technique in the world called "financial deficit".
You can spend money next year this year and next life next year...
It was such an arrogant female nobleman who, after meeting someone more arrogant than her, actually listened to the other person's words.
Anna really sent her confidants to investigate the situation in the Sansredo swamp, and her orders were executed without discount! Although the female grandfather was deceived in many aspects, her rights would never be discounted.
Because the power comes from the law of inheritance of the nobles, this is a rule that the whole world follows. Many kingdoms would rather hang their thrones for decades and choose a winner to sit on them, which is equivalent to rebellion... If someone tries to undermine the female grand duke, then it is likely to usher in the anger and purge of the sect leader Niphgad!
Even the Cooper union and Shadow Elders who were hiding behind the Principality could not afford this!
Therefore, when the female grandson of Anna learned that the investigators went deep into the Sansredo swamp for ten kilometers but couldn't find a water ghost, they finally believed Shen Yan's words!
Now the problem is, she really doesn't have that much money...
The female eldest daughter was extremely entangled in front of the mirror. She subconsciously touched her collar. The elf was quite handsome... I don't know if it's okay to make a living?

"Oak House...and, I thought he would live in a better place."
Grand Duke Anna, who came to see Shen Yan, saw the sign of the hotel and commented with a lip. She had never wanted to get involved in such a small hotel because her style was not enough. The captain of the guard standing behind her held the sword vigilantly and did not speak.
In fact, Grand Duke Anna is satisfied with being able to negotiate in such a hotel with few people, but she will never say it out loud. "Let's go and meet me with this warlock who cleared the swamp for us. I want to know his real purpose."
Grand Duke Anna is not short of cleverness and has no money, so she also positioned the other party's purpose as "not money". She believes that whether it is fine red wine or elegant artworks of collection, the Principality has enough foundation to satisfy the other party's appetite.
Even if a powerful warlock is not won over, it is best not to offend him.
When she walked into this family hotel, her evaluation of this place rose sharply. The hotel only had two rooms upstairs and downstairs, each with its own private aisles, completely independent private spaces and delicate decorations all made her evaluation of this place continue to rise. Not only did she change her previous impression of a small hotel, but she even raised the urge to enclose the next room as a private place.
By the way, Chen Yan's evaluation has also improved a lot.
"Welcome to you, Your Majesty, are you here to send me money?" Chen Yan asked directly when he met. There was no way, he was sick... poor. He paid for this hotel with gems. Well, he had no money... only a bag of gems left.
Grand Duke Anna curled his lips and asked for money when meeting, and the impression was -50!
"So, this respected warlock, should I call you Gerald from Livia? You know, Geralt and I are friends, but I have never heard of him telling him that he has a younger brother." Anna thought she had caught a trump card.
But Chen Yan spread his hands directly, and he shamelessly admitted it!
"Yes, I'm not his brother, and I have nothing to do with him. But when I go out, who doesn't want to find a background to make myself safer? I don't think Master Geralt would mind... Just like you don't know Geralt at all, but you can still claim to be his old friend."
Very angry! Impression-100!!!
The eldest daughter gritted her teeth in her heart, rolled around the ground, and beat the villain by the way.
“…So, what should I call you?”
"Chen Yan, Chen Yan from Thunder Wood." Chen Yan smiled and introduced them in official language and gorgeous elf language. When it comes to showing off, he has never been convinced.
The eldest daughter Anna was shaken by his shining smile and subconsciously moved her gaze away. Although she couldn't understand the singing elf language, she looked very tall, so she wouldn't admit that she had a great impression at this moment. Anna was gritting her teeth again, she looked so pretty! Little white-faced, Dandelion was ten better than you... no, ten thousand times more!
She was unwilling to admit that Chen Yan, wearing a light-colored mage robe, stood in front of him like a pavilion tree. Dandelion was like a rooster compared to it.
"Well, then Chen Yan from Thunderwood, I have sent someone to confirm the situation of the Sansredo swamp, and it has indeed been thoroughly cleaned up! On behalf of the Principality, I would like to express my gratitude to you. So now, please tell me your true purpose...it cannot be money!"
Seeing Chen Yan open his mouth, the female eldest prince simply interrupted directly with a domineering attitude!
As for how to shirk her, she had already thought of a way to make her subordinates vain in the past. "If you have to ask for money, you can go through the approval process and get the money at least next spring. And the Principality will also impose a special tax of 45% on this money! Everything is the law, and I can't do anything about it."
The eldest daughter Anna smiled and felt very good!
This is why individuals cannot compete with the state. The state can formulate rules that are beneficial to themselves, while individuals can only abide by them.

"How can you do this? This is not trustworthy!" Chen Yan slapped the table and was angry, stubborn and weak, pitiful, helpless...
Duke Anna felt a little relieved! That's it! That's it! Now I know how powerful I am! Oh hahaha~ The witch in her heart was laughing wildly on her hips.
"Okay," Chen Yan looked very frustrated, "I still want to try it. If you give you a note to prove the money, I still have to go through the process."
Anna sighed. Chen Yan now looks like a fool who never hits the wall and doesn't look back. He is still too young... Sooner or later, you will be on the iron wall of the country and beg me for blood... Then I will wait for you to come back at the Bowklan Palace and beg me.
She was in a happy mood and wrote the "IOU" on a piece of paper with gorgeous flowers and used a seal representing the Duke's daughter. Her guard captain wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end she didn't stop the Duke's daughter. He felt that there was something wrong with it, but he couldn't understand what the specific problem was.
"Is this OK?" Anna arrogantly handed the paper to Chen Yan. Although the numbers on it were amazing, in her opinion, it was just a piece of paper. She could write as much as she wanted. If you could turn this paper into money, I would not be the grand duke of the principality!
"It's OK." Chen Yan took it and put it away solemnly, then smiled.
She smiled proudly, arrogantly, and arrogantly... and completely copied Anna's appearance that flashed away! I am also a man with Sharingan.
Anna was confused and felt something was wrong!
"Dear, I'll teach you a new knowledge." Chen Yan sat down with a smile and said slowly. "The name of this knowledge is 'Transfer and Transaction of Debt'... Look! As soon as you look at your expression, you guessed that you must be thinking that I want to sell the debt to some powerful people, right? But because you are the most powerful person in this principality, you don't care at all.
This is the second knowledge I want to teach you, debt can be sold to certain countries! For example, Soden, like Nifgaard, of course, with your status, this small amount of money really doesn't matter... If they have no intentions for your country!
Are you right?"
Anna was no longer confused at this moment. She was already frightened by the imagined scene and her whole body was stiff!
Behind her, the captain of the guard pulled out the sword and pointed it at Chen Yan. But the tip of the sword swayed, and obviously he was extremely afraid of the possibility of Chen Yan saying!
Do the surrounding countries have no intention of the Principality of Toustente? How is that possible! In the eyes of the senior officials of these principalities, the Principality of Toustente is a perfect fairy tale princess, and everyone is eyeing her!
It was just because she leaned in the arms of the monster Nifgad that those people restrained their ambitions... Kenifgad was also a member of the princess!
As long as there is one in ten thousand chance, these countries are 100% willing to operate to make the Principality of Tosenth go bankrupt! Then they become part of whom... But this sharpest knife was handed to Chen Yan by Grand Duke Anna.
****
The captain of the guard held the hilt tightly. As long as Grand Duke Anna gave an order, he would rush forward without hesitation and leave Shen Yan behind even if he died!
But when Duke Anna turned around, he said to him, "Go out!"
"What?" The captain of the guard failed to understand.
"I said, take your sword and go out!" Grand Duke Anna roared in anger!
The captain of the guard understood, put away his sword in panic, and left the room backwards.
When the captain of the guard left, Anna turned to face Chen Yan, she regained her nobility and confidence as a grand duke. She straightened her back, made her chest stand out more, and then gently unbuttoned the first buckle.
"You won, now tell me what you want?"
