The evil witch BOSS just wants to develop in a low-key manner

Chapter 7 Taboo Item [Twin Snake Ring]

188 Gloucester Street.

In the study room on the second floor.

"A full 3000 Krugerrands."

"Based on the current market value of Krugerrands, that's a full 4800 gold pounds."

After hearing about the huge amount of money that Master Zorn brought back.

The old butler Gronk was also shocked.

You should know that even when Baron Leon Korrik was still alive, the years with higher income were only slightly more than this figure.

And Master Zorn brought back so much wealth at once.

However, judging from the danger just now and the shocking injuries on Master Zorn's hands.

It was obviously not easy to get this fortune.

And the old butler, Grank, had no intention of asking any further questions.

After all, in his opinion, Master Zorn had already come into contact with the mysterious supernatural world.

But the mysterious supernatural world is not something he can interfere with.

Brought back 3200 Krugerrands.

Among them, 200 Krugerrands, about 320 pounds, Zorn planned to put into his own small treasury.

The remaining approximately 4800 gold pounds will be used for investment and loan repayment.

At this time, the maid Vanessa was disinfecting and bandaging Zorn's wound.

As a maid in a noble family, Vanessa has been to school and has studied at maid school and nursing school. She has a certain basic nursing skills and is familiar with first aid measures.

Vanessa was carefully tied up, and the freckles on her face gradually faded. Her beautiful face gradually became charming. Although her body was wrapped as much as possible, the turbulent outline could still be seen.

In the original trajectory, this caring maid was there even when Zorn Krik was against the world.

She still followed Zorn Krik firmly.

Until he blocked the bishop's flames and was burned to ashes in the blazing fire.

The burning pain tore her heart apart, but her last scream also told Zorn Korrik to escape quickly.

She was willing to use her frail body to block attacks for Zorn Krik until she was too weak to stand up.

It was not until the end that Zorn Kerrick saw clearly the graceful maid who had been silent about him and had a secret crush on him.

The wound was disinfected and bandaged.

The maid Vanessa's voice, as clear and sweet as a nightingale, slowly rang out.

"For some time to come, your hands will not be able to touch water..."

She paused here and her voice became much softer.

"I will come and serve you."

As she spoke, her cheeks flushed slightly and her heart beat faster.

Vanessa was well aware of the duties and responsibilities of a noble maid.

Even when communicating privately with maids from other noble families, many of them were proud to have served noble young masters, and some even served more than one.

Even...some young nobles with chaotic private lives would exchange maids.

Before, the old housekeeper warned her that the young master was still young and if she dared to act recklessly.

She would be sold to the red-light district in the old town.

And yesterday, the old housekeeper found her and told her that Master Zoen was about to come of age.

And she was Master Zorn's private coming-of-age ceremony.

After Vanessa left with the medical kit.

Zorn opened the monster treasure chest and the old butler began to count the Krugerrands.

As the old butler who manages the family finances, he can exchange these Krugerrands into gold pounds through many channels.

And Zorn picked up today's "Gran Steam Daily" and browsed through it.

The Gran Steam Daily is the daily column newspaper of the city of Gran.

It is a partner of the national intelligence system of the Republic of Otanston and has a solid official background.

Contents of the Gran Steam Daily.

There are not only major events in the Holy Continent and the Republic of Otanston, but also many important affairs within the city of Oglan.

Therefore, subscribing to and reading the daily Gran Steam Daily is a compulsory course for almost every noble.

While absorbing a lot of important intelligence information from the Steam Daily.

Soon, Zorn noticed a piece of news that seemed ordinary but was actually a big news about "getting rich overnight".

"Uncle Grunkle, what do you think of Belleo Navigation Company?"

"Belleo Navigation Company?"

Gronk, who was cleaning the Krugerrands, paused.

He raised his head, and looked at Zorn Korrik with a complicated expression on his wrinkled and old face.

He spoke with a slightly hoarse voice.

"The depths of the ocean, shrouded in fog and mystery, are indeed filled with opportunities and wealth."

"But for the Zorn Kerrick family, it's like they're carrying a curse from the sea."

"Previously, your father, Baron Lyon, made five investments in Ocean Company stocks."

"but……"

He paused, and finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"But every time, we lost everything, and the family was left with so much debt."

"Even your father was lost in the depths of the sea."

"The family can no longer bear another curse from the sea, Master Zorn."

The old butler Grank's intention to dissuade him was already very obvious.

Zorn narrowed his eyes, straightened up, and asked meaningfully.

"Then can this nearly five thousand pounds of gold coins solve the family's debt?"

Gran shook his head helplessly.

"At least 40,000, close to 50,000 gold pounds of wealth is needed to fill the hole in the family."

Forty thousand, nearly fifty thousand gold pounds.

Hearing this amount, even a veteran like Zorn still felt a little nervous.

"The hole left behind by that unreliable father is really huge!"

After thinking for a moment, Zorn slowly spoke.

"Uncle Grank, based on the intelligence and information I received from some extraordinary people," "Although the newspaper said that the Steam Whale Caravan of the Belleo Navigation Company was plundered by pirates."

"But in fact, this caravan also has the protection of extraordinary people. Although their crew suffered heavy casualties, and even the captain died heroically in the battle with the pirates, they were still able to safely reach the bay area dock in Oglan City."

"The Steam Whale's stock plummeted after newspaper reports of its tragic plunder."

"I think now is a great time to buy this stock!"

"It won't be long before the Steam Whale returns. By then, the value of the merchant ship stocks we purchased will increase several times, or even dozens of times."

Zohn's words made Gronk a little agitated for a moment.

He knew very well that if this information from the extraordinary person was true, it would be an excellent opportunity to increase the family's wealth.

"In that case, tomorrow when I go out to exchange these Krugerrands for gold pounds, I will buy some shares of the Steam Whale."

Facing Master Zorn's precise explanation, he was completely different from before.

Gronk still chose to believe Master Zorn.

After all, these five thousand gold pounds cannot solve the current dilemma.

"Buy as much as you can, but at least not less than two thousand gold pounds."

Not less than two thousand gold pounds. This amount scared Grank.

This is almost a gamble of using half of one's current wealth to invest in shipping stocks.

Just like Baron Lyon before him, he would rush into the stock market of the Age of Discovery even if he had to borrow money.

However, Gronk didn't know that.

Investing in Steam Whale's stock is a sure-win deal.

The only question is whether the profit multiple is three, four, or ten times.

The stocks that can be bought on the market are only between 2000 and 3000 pounds.

Although, buying stocks in large quantities may cause some trouble.

However, this is a trouble for ordinary nobles.

But for the [Evil Wizard], this is more like a gift.

"How's old Nero?"

Zorn asked while thinking.

Before, Old Nero and Gronk were frightened when they pressed down the shaking manhole cover.

When he came back and got off the carriage, old Nero accidentally fell and was seriously injured.

"Vanessa has checked him out, and there's nothing serious. He's probably just frightened. He just needs to rest for a few days."

"Ok!"

Zorn nodded.

"Give old Nero an extra week's salary. Hopefully, this will compensate him for his emotional loss."

"Yes, you too!"

As family servants of the nobles, they all had salaries, and the salaries were not low.

Old Nero had a weekly salary of 15 silver dragons, about 0.75 gold pounds, which was a very high salary in Oglan City.

The old butler Gronk's salary is even higher, he has a weekly salary of 3.5 gold pounds.

This good salary not only supported the old butler Grunk, but also allowed him to pay for the tuition of a son and two daughters.

A sufficiently high salary is also one of the reasons why the old butler remains loyal.

Soon, the old butler finished counting the gold pounds and left the study.

Zorn opened the window and quietly looked out at the city of Oglan as it slowly fell into the night.

At this moment, within Zorn's sight.

The city of Oglan, falling into the night, slowly opened up in a form of mysterious brightness.

Especially those moving life forms, which are particularly conspicuous and clear in his eyes.

At this moment, a ring with two silver snakes holding a red gem was silently wriggling on Zorn's middle finger, like a thin snake clinging.

Twin Snake Ring

A forbidden sealed item from the great superior [Double Ring Snake].

The wearer needs to be fed with blood every day.

Human blood is also fine.

The wearer's own blood will have a better effect.

But Zorn obviously would not use his own blood to feed this forbidden thing.

Previously, Zorn had offered to buy live chinchillas from Bevis.

The purpose is to use the blood and lives of these mice to feed the "Twin Snake Ring".

The blood and life of the rat is the best food to feed the wearer.

The wearer can obtain the "Vision of Twin Snakes".

"The Vision of the Twin Snakes" has a strong insight into living things, especially extraordinary life.

After wearing it for a long time, the appetite of the twin snakes will be greatly increased, and the frequency and amount of food eaten will be greatly increased.

The wearer will gain the depth effect, "Double Snake Spirit Body".

It has a body as flexible and pliable as a snake's, and hides its extraordinary spirituality, while further strengthening the "Double Snake Vision".

But the twin snakes will covet the user's blood and life even more.

The forbidden item "Ring of Twin Snakes".

It possesses a very strong mysterious power.

For fighters who excel at close combat, it can fill the gap in their insight.

At the same time, it can also enhance the fighter's close combat ability.

As for the [Evil Wizard].

This forbidden item, which can enhance insight and spirituality, has always been precious and powerful.

In the hands of an [Evil Wizard], it is far more effective than in the hands of a [Fighter].

In addition to these conventional applications.

[Players] have even developed various inhuman ways of playing that do not follow any routines at all.
