Chapter 1351 Aftermath

Of course, the elves will pass these contents to the World Tree behind them. As soon as World Tree knows about it, Ke Yin, who is also a member of the High Council, will also know about it.

But so what if you know? They couldn't wish for such a possible outcome, so how could they try to stop it or hinder it? Ke Yin will not cause trouble for his constituents just because his "divine design" has been changed. The money-hungry halfling does not belong to either side of good or evil. All she has is her own principles.

Moreover, in the high-level meeting, there was a set of methods based on the flash technique, which were constantly implemented around beheading tactics to force all the lords to accept the bank's plan. Just like when they used the same tactics to force the Elf Kingdom of Armenia to liberate the World Tree.

But this plan was strongly opposed by someone.

In terms of purpose, the original liberation action only needed to save the World Tree. In other words, in the worst case scenario, it doesn't matter if the five major elven kingdoms become the fourth largest, the third largest, or even the second largest. It doesn't matter if the elves are all dead or the country is subjugated. Anyway, everyone only wants the World Tree.

However, bank promotion cannot be played like this. If the butcher's knife cannot be put away after being raised, and everyone dies, what use will the bank cover have? Let’s understand the fable of the North Wind and the Sun. Everything that can be said in it is explained.

But in addition to the elves and the nobles of the Karlsruhe Empire, there were more people who couldn't sleep either.

There is a forum in this world, and the forum covers the entire puzzle. When someone posted the words of a certain magician on the forum, they all felt bad whether they had activated banks or areas where banks had not yet been allowed to enter.

Relevant remarks swept across all the rulers or people in the ruling class in Midland at almost the speed of a storm. The question of whether we should accept banks has come back to the forefront of many people’s minds.

But the two most decisive people are none other than the old emperor of the Gwana Empire, Armin Kazalnia, and the former Grand Duke Ricardo Kavi. They quickly drew up a bank expansion plan, and even if the elves were short of manpower, they would send private ministers to learn from it.

Anyway, judging from the current situation of the bank, what is needed is not professional financial talents, just security guards. For this kind of person, an emperor and a former grand duke have a lot of reserves in their hands.

They made the same decision for the same reason. When the outstretched fist is bitten by the enemy, the best way is not to pull back, but to continue forward decisively and insert it into the enemy's throat! All I can say is that this is truly a pair of monarchs and ministers who have cherished each other for a lifetime.

And this pair of monarchs and ministers also met late at night when they got the news. What the old emperor wanted to know was what kind of person that magician was. Although he had met that person in person, his understanding of him was probably no better than that of old Kawei.

In the emperor's private study, Ricardo, who had removed his title of grand duke, drank the liquor specially provided by the royal family. He murmured: "That's a young man with many ideas. Of course, I think your majesty has also suspected his origins, and he has never denied it. But everyone just sees through it and doesn't tell it, because for him now , and no one can threaten him."

"Do you think what's being circulated that he said about the bank is true?"

In private situations, although Ricardo Carvey remained respectful, some small gestures were unavoidable. After all, they had known each other before Armin ascended the throne.

Faced with such a question, he just curled his lips and said: "Your Majesty, whether you believe him or not, the decision has been made. Now if you ask this question again, what will it change? And whether his words are true or false, what does it matter? Gold coins The goddess will not shake the foundation of the empire."

"Yes, it is true." The old emperor sighed.

When he first learned the news, the reason why he did not completely destroy the belief in the Gold Coin Goddess was because the bank and the churches of other gods were essentially different.

Belief in other gods requires deep participation from believers, including dedication of time, energy and money. This is clearly a competition with noble lords for people. When the belief in gods expands to a certain extent, it will inevitably pose a threat to the imperial power. Because what the divine power and the imperial power are fighting for is actually the same thing, they just use different terms. That's 'people'.

But the bank of the Gold Goddess does not require deep involvement of believers. She is more like providing a tool to make it easier for others to do things. Even if the empire is involved, it is not completely harmful and useless. At least the goddess of gold coins does not need to bind people to her church and devote herself wholeheartedly.

Of course, the old emperor was not without worries that an organization could amass so much money. If the money is in the hands of mortals, whether humans or elves, you must consider whether they will misappropriate the money into some taboo places. For example, raising a private army, or draining a region of its wealth and then walking away.

Sometimes when you serve as a lord of a place, you may not necessarily be greedy for the circulation of such large sums of money, but you will definitely consider what impact the money may have. However, if money is placed in the hands of the Gold Coin Goddess, there is no need to worry so much, because Goddess Ko Yin has disclosed the rules for money deposits, withdrawals and safekeeping.

In principle, a deity is what she appears and cannot lie, unless she has such characteristics in her own divinity. Like the god of mischief, or the god of lies. But it does not rule out that some gods have two sides. Such gods also cannot lie, but they may not say it or misinterpret it.

Under this principle, the goddess of gold coins is trustworthy to the old emperor. Don't worry that His Majesty in Heaven, after gathering such a huge amount of money, plans to recruit troops to overthrow the empire.

As for the role of elves in the bank, even if there was news that a local lord launched an attack on the bank but was repelled by the elves, the old emperor still subconsciously attributed this credit to the Turtle Dove Alliance. This organization, which is keen on fighting against noble lords, has done a lot of such bad things in history, so it is no surprise.

This is also because the Elf Kingdom is closed to external information, so whether the Amelan Kingdom was raided by the flash magic on the palace, or the Donbas Kingdom was attacked head-on by the United Legion equipped with the Bow of the Elf King, these news were not spread to the outside. No one realizes how terrifying the elven army supported by the World Tree can be.

In the old emperor's understanding, even the wood elf tribe of the ancient Yectrasil, which was surrounded by the empire's territory, was protected by the World Tree, so the empire could not destroy it. If those elves dared to leave the protection of the World Tree, as many as they came out would die.

In addition, although a qualified elf warrior is strong, the training cycle is long and the birth rate is slow. The empire didn't even need to put in much effort. It could wipe out the elves with just one exchange, so Emperor Armin never regarded the elves as a threat.

Since there is no threat, there is no way to seize power, and it is impossible to exclude the gold goddess, then cooperation is the only option. And in order to avoid more losses in currency exchange, the speed of this cooperation must be as fast as possible. That's why the old emperor and old Kawei made such a choice.

But even though he knew that what the other party did was more beneficial than harmful to himself and the empire, the old emperor still looked worried. And this worry also fell into the eyes of his lifelong friend.

Ricardo Kawi asked: "Since you understand that they are not a threat, what is your Majesty worried about?"

At the level of the emperor, there are many things that Armin cannot make decisions based solely on pros and cons. In addition, this time, if the magician hadn't exposed himself, no one would have thought that there were so many gods and goddesses behind the bank of the Gold Coin Goddess. Then whether there are things on the second and third levels that have not been seen through is what the old emperor is concerned about.

Therefore, the old emperor expressed his doubts. "Purpose? What is the purpose of the Gold Coin Goddess doing this? If it is for faith, her way of spreading faith is different from other good gods, but it is not to follow the secret route of evil gods. Now it seems that their purpose is, Just increase the number of banks and let more people use Coin coins. Is this useful? There is no such effort to spread the faith, it is just to let more people use the gods related to their abilities."

Old Kawei said without hesitation: "Why not? Those eight powerful lords."

As soon as the words came out, the faces of the two old people who had lived for most of their lives suddenly froze. What level of gods are the eight Lords of Power? That is the powerful divine power of the first echelon under the so-called strongest guardian lord!

The secular churches of these eight Lords of Power are not as powerful as the Church of Three Holy Lights, and they are not very active in spreading faith among mortals. But one of the reasons why it can become a powerful god is that magicians use eight kinds of powers to perform magic. Those monsters are born with the ability to store eight kinds of powers and use them to perform various innate attacks. In other words, there are users everywhere.

So what exactly is the gold coin goddess going to do after embarking on a similar path?

The two people looked at each other, and finally it was the old emperor who spoke first and asked, "Do you think your little friend knows these things behind the Gold Coin Goddess?"

Old Kawei pondered for a moment and said: "He always has a very clear purpose and self-interest in doing things, and he will not do it for fun. But it is still possible that he takes action because he owes others a favor. Considering that banks are like forums and cars. , coupled with the familiarity of the magician, this is likely to come from his original world. So it should be very close to the truth for him to promote this matter, or even be the leader. But there is something deeper behind these things , whether there are other secrets, and whether the magician knows about it, I can't tell."

"Ask him directly? Will he answer?" the old emperor asked.

"I can't guarantee this. Unless there are some clues, he may chat a few words based on this clue. But this magician's mouth is still very reliable. It is expected that he will use those secrets as talking points and show them off to others. Things that are not very practical. When you can hear it from his mouth, it is estimated that things will be like this bank, either irreversible or a foregone conclusion. Otherwise, there are other intentions behind those words. "

"What a troublesome person." The old emperor sighed.

"Indeed." As a friend of a certain magician, Old Kawei did not deny the evaluation of his best friend and monarch.
