Chapter 597 - 32: Tournament Festival Preparations (4)
So Su Li pondered for a moment and said, "We won’t meddle in the competitions and betting in each village. Let the Knightly Families, Noble Families, merchants, and landlords of the territory manage them themselves."
"However, on the day of the festival, all betting projects within the Lion Ring Arena must be exclusively patented by the Balantangborne Clan. Any unofficial private gambling will be fined ten times the bet!"
Oliver immediately said respectfully, "Everything adheres to your will, my Lord. Do you have any other instructions regarding other matters?"
Su Li waved his hand and said, "I have already understood the general situation. Announce the current plan first. If any knights find it inappropriate or strongly oppose it, we can make adjustments."
One must not burden oneself with too much mental exhaustion; do not think that everything can be perfect.
Essentially, this world is just a giant makeshift troupe. As long as a large event can be smoothly conducted, it is already a considerable success, surpassing 97-98% of other organizations.
Even the largest leagues frequently adjust or temporarily amend the league’s regulations.
This is the territory’s first time hosting such a large celebration. As long as it can be held smoothly, it is considered a success.
Even if the regulations are released and there are still imperfect areas that need supplementing, it is very normal.
Moreover, fortune and misfortune are interdependent. If the areas where the knights fiercely debated are accepted and modified by the territory, it might greatly enhance the knights’ goodwill towards the territory.
After Su Li made the arrangements, Oliver stood up to take his leave, preparing to modify the regulations as instructed by the Lord and then release them directly.
After Oliver left, Silvana moved the book from in front of her face, walked behind Su Li, elegantly extended her slender fingers, and massaged his temples thoughtfully, asking, "My Lord, is the territory’s finances very tight? You know I have never been very concerned about Gold Coins, but as a member of the nobility, I do have some savings. I still have 382 Golden Crowns in my dowry. How about lending them to you as an emergency fund? Rest assured, I won’t charge you any interest... "
At this point, she deliberately blinked with a hint of a smile: "As long as... you can occasionally treat me to a meal. I am most afraid of troubling others... "
No wonder men can never resist a green tea.
Such a gentle and considerate girl, even if you know she has some motives, how could you bear to refuse her from afar?
Su Li waved his hand and said, "The territory’s finances are a bit tight, but it’s not short of a few hundred Golden Crowns. I appreciate your kindness. But treating you to a meal is no problem at all, I have a question I’d like to ask you."
Silvana immediately smiled and blinked at him, saying, "If I can help you, my Lord, I will definitely speak without reservation."
Su Li didn’t hide it, directly getting to the point and asked, "You are a Ranger with extensive travel experience. Especially since you just came from the direction of Marle Castle, how long do you think it would take for our territory to make a round trip to Marle Castle at the current speed?"
Silvana’s eyes immediately lit up, asking, "My Lord, are you planning to make a trip to Marle Castle before the harvest season?"
Once leaving this castle, the number of female courtiers around the Lord would be fewer. Her chances of succeeding would be higher!
As a knight who often travels, she is all too familiar with the tediousness and tedium of long journeys, especially at night when the darkness in the wild far exceeds that in towns, and in nights where you can’t see your hand in front of your face, one feels especially lonely and isolated.
That would be the best opportunity for her to succeed!
