Chapter 1,284 Bank Expansion
,!
The Guardian Lord showed up at the bank, which naturally caused an uproar.
With any news, there will be people who question its authenticity. But this time, no one dared to say anything. Because in the bank, in the main position, in addition to the holy emblem of the Goddess of Gold Coins, there is also a holy emblem of the Lord of Guardians. Under the two holy emblems, the words "I swear to protect the safety of people's property" are written in divine language.
The two are on equal footing, and it is difficult to say who is more dominant and who is taking advantage of whom.
In terms of strength, the Lord of Guardians undoubtedly ranks first. Even in the Church of Three Holy Lights, the Lord of Justice is in the middle, the Lord of Guardians occupies the honorary position on the left, and then the Lord of Life is on the right.
But in terms of territory, the bank belongs to the goddess of gold coins. All the functions and layout inside are arranged according to the instructions of the goddess. If it hadn't been for an unsuccessful robbery, no one would have known that this territory was protected by a guardian lord. Even this big boss has not given any instructions to his followers, and the precepts and creeds belonging to the Guardian Lord have not been changed.
But in the eyes of outsiders, the presence of gold coins and the holy emblem of protection on the bank can mean many things. At least, no one wants to get into trouble and provoke the real boss of Midi who doesn't even dare to offend the devil.
Similarly, other banks under construction are also allowed to display a holy emblem of the Guardian Lord. No matter how the big guys who live in the sky play games, in the eyes of mortals, it means an alliance between two gods.
And this becomes a very interesting picture. The Holy Emblem of the Guardian Lord has not been removed from the Church of the Three Holy Lights, but his presence has been added to the bank. This big boss without his own church has a wider influence than any good god.
However, those who expect to take advantage of this relationship and use this most powerful god in the land of mystery as a pawn will feel deeply disappointed. Because the giant shield dropped from the sky usually hits their own heads, not those who say they were framed, but are actually not that innocent.
In short, the joining of the Guardian Lord has greatly improved the trustworthiness of the bank. Except for the holy city of Estali, which is already a crazy place, everyone who learned the news expressed interest in the bank and hoped to have a detailed discussion with the goddess.
Of course, this kind of thing cannot come true. No matter what you say, Ke Yin is still a member of the gods. Not so bad that you have to personally approach all potential believers and win them over to establish a bank for you. This kind of thing, which is no different from preaching, is of course carried out by the agents of gods in the human world.
In view of the fact that the original envoys of the Goddess of Gold Coins, that is, the original group of bishops, priests and monks, not many people have truly mastered the knowledge of banks. So when someone expresses their interest in banking through the forum, the main contact with these people is the elves who are interns at First Bank.
Basically, I contacted the volunteers through the forum and provided the Gold Goddess's requirements for the bank building. Moreover, the elves will also conduct on-site inspections. If the volunteers provide any data, they will just accept it all.
Because they need to target areas with different populations and economic levels, the elves will make suggestions that are suitable for the current location. Not all places are arranged according to the level of the holy city of Estali or the imperial city of Nineveh.
In addition, when the construction of a bank in another place is nearing completion, someone must come forward to check and accept it.
These actions all require human hands. The first batch of elves who settled in First Bank were all extremely busy. They had to transfer the second and third batch of manpower from the wood elf tribe of World Tree.
There are even a considerable number of elves who are busy with bank-related matters while still staying in their respective tribes. Especially those elves who are not so good at learning new knowledge become the guardians of others during on-site inspection or acceptance.
On the busiest days, there are nearly a hundred groups of elves outside the tribe, going deep into other human societies to inspect bank installation sites or inspecting completed banks. As a voter of the Gold Coin Goddess, Lin certainly couldn't stay out of the matter.
The inspection is easy to solve, the only thing is to observe whether the planned location meets the situation described by the willing person, and to keep up with the first wave of bank construction if necessary.
After all, some places have too few populations and small economies, and there is no need to use limited power in such places. Once the number of banks increases and the major economic nodes are laid out, it will be more reasonable to develop towards these terminal areas.
If it is accepted, it will be wonderful. Whether it's the lost land or the Earth before someone traveled through it, as long as it involves acceptance, there are always some expedient people who want to rush things off. At this time, it is inevitable to give gifts or threaten the acceptance personnel.
No matter how much the acceptance personnel emphasized at this time, they only made certification or modification suggestions for the bank's architectural and indoor layout standards or irregularities. The final result depends on the big boss in the sky. If you dissatisfy Him, the consequences will be serious.
Such warnings are usually not believed. If it was a gift at the beginning, now it is a threat. If it was a threat at the beginning, now it's time to draw the knife.
According to the guidance of a magician who is a voter, do not impose the demands of these owners at this time. Step aside, follow their ideas, communicate directly with the goddess, and ask for permission to open the bank. Of course, all prayers must be said loudly to avoid being misunderstood and interfered with.
In situations like this, the Goddess of Gold usually doesn't send down a white light to make all the great holy symbols in the bank work; instead, she sends down a thunder to smash this miserable substandard bank building to pieces.
Anyway, the requirements for bank buildings never require people to use magic materials to build them. Even if the walls are made of bamboo and coated with a layer of mud, the goddess will enable such a bank as long as it is built in accordance with interior design regulations and at a designated location with permission.
After all, in the plan, the bank construction is to go deep into the settlements of Homo sapiens at the village and town level. There is definitely no way to use good materials to build it. It is better not to dwell on this point from the beginning, so as to avoid making early participants feel like they have spent a lot of money in vain.
But the Gold Coin Goddess will not tolerate things that are not up to standard. The heavy cover was directly smashed! If we keep it and give these people who are greedy for petty gains a glimmer of hope, they will most likely take advantage of it and continue to test on the verge of death. So it's better to show the horse and the horse and give a tough response from the beginning.
If the other party realizes their mistake and admits compensation, the acceptance personnel will say some useless words of relief. In the end, it is up to people to find ways to rebuild or restore the ruins to the way a bank should look. But such people are rare...or almost never encountered.
If the other party becomes angry and is ready to vent his anger on the elf, then he can directly call the boss of Yggdrasil. The elf holy robe woven by each world tree has its own positioning function for this boss. Therefore, a flash spell can be used to pull back, and there is no need to argue with the other party. They can't even see the back of the head.
Anyway, it’s the same old saying. It's a seller's market now, and the Gold Goddess is so powerful. Either cooperate or pull back, there is no compromise or taking a step back.
But for the time being, those who will come to us are mostly small fish, the kind of people who are hovering on the edge of the conditions for the first wave of support targets. Those who are truly capable are either still waiting and watching, or are evaluating the scale of investment.
After all, all this is unfamiliar to Midi. It’s related to money, and it’s not the kind of transaction where money is paid and delivered, so everyone will inevitably worry about whether there are traps in it.
Regardless of the fact that the Grand Duke of Kawei started building banks in his territory with great fanfare, and the Emperor of the Empire, who spent more words from a certain magician to convince him, still only opened a temple bank. I didn't hear him making preparations elsewhere.
Facts have proved that a certain time-traveling king is not strong enough and his deception skills are not good enough. At least someone can't just open his mouth and make others confused, and everything will be according to his arrangement. Lost people still have their own little thoughts.
The most important participant during this period is none other than the Jialong Chamber of Commerce, one of the partners in automobile manufacturing and research and development. And it's not just the two brothers Ruan Wenyue and Wen Zhao, most of the other branches of the Ruan family are also involved.
Brothers Ruan Wen Yue and Wen Zhao made a special trip to the holy city of Estali to meet with a magician to discuss opening a bank near the mine.
According to their calculations, the gold, silver, and copper mined from the mines are directly deposited into the divine kingdom of the Goddess of Gold Coins, and then taken out where they need to be used. Although what is taken out will be in the form of coins, it is not difficult to use it for other purposes.
If you do this, you will have to pay a storage fee. But compared to transporting the raw ore to a specialized forging workshop and then consuming manpower and material resources to purify the precious metal, the costs incurred are much higher than the storage fee set by the goddess.
Having tasted the benefits, they mainly wanted to see if other metals could follow suit.
Of course Lin refused on behalf of the Gold Goddess!
What a joke, the number of gods surrounding the concept of metal forging is enough to form a pantheon. If the goddess of gold coins, who is only responsible for three precious metals, is allowed to cross the line, it is no different from declaring war. Even with the Guardian Lord covering him, someone felt that Ke Yin would be a little nervous.
Another important figure is Baron William Engels of the Vader Military State. This is a friend from someone's past journey. His wife is Nguyen Thi Hue, a member of the Nguyen family of the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce. After Lin arrived in the holy city of Estali, he met the two brothers Nguyen Van Viet and Van Chao, and it was Nguyen Thi Huy who drew the line between them.
The Vader Military State is one of the five great empires in Midland, and its strength is beyond doubt. Although William Engels was only a baron, his father was the Grand Duke of the North in the military country, Henry Engels. Compared with Grand Duke Kawei, his strength is only between the two.
When such a person comes to your door, it can actually be regarded as a signal from the person behind him. If the early cooperation is good, then the next thing will be a matter of course. If there is a problem with cooperation, there will be nothing to do next.
Of course, Lin personally came to negotiate with such a person. It is a pity that no one knows the current movements of their common friend, the White Sword Master William Greco. Otherwise, if friends get together again and have a few glasses of wine, things will be much easier to talk about.
But what really bothered someone was another friend’s request for cooperation. Coming from the southwest peninsula of Midland, I met an old friend a while ago, the great magician Juan Javier.
