Academy Horror Chapter 4 Veteran of Sailfish Bank
Sailfish Bank, Lin Moyang still wonders why there is such a bank, the name is so strange, but around the surrounding group of buildings that show their magical characteristics, it is so normal, marble steps, tempered glass floor-to-ceiling windows, and a number machine that can be seen through the glass and a counter with clear windows. As far as the shops in Shadow Street are concerned, he is undoubtedly the most normal one.
Moira took Lin Moyang's hand so affectionately, she didn't mean to let go at all, she dragged Lin Moyang all the way into the bank, and when she pushed open the bank door, she also took a queuing code on the shouting machine.
At this time, Lin Moyang woke up from the feeling that he was in a different world, and the human world is still drifting away on the road of science, which will not change.
"Yo, Xiao Mo, are you here to deposit money again?" this is ......" A lobby manager in a suit at the entrance of the bank saw Moira and greeted him cordially, it seems that Moira does come to this place often.
"It's not me this time. This is His Excellency Lin Moyang. Moira responded with a bright smile, and then pulled Lin Moyang in front of the lobby manager and introduced.
The stubble and embarrassed lobby manager held his chin and took a good look at Lin Moyang, and then said, "Asians? Asian wizards are very rare. Koreans or Japanese?"
Moira shook her head and corrected, "It's Chinese!"
The lobby manager immediately looked at Lin Moyang carefully in surprise and said, "No matter which magic academy heard that there are the least Chinese students, this time it actually directly recruited Chinese?"
As he spoke, the lobby manager rubbed the ring on his hand with his index finger, and a circle of green fluctuations catapulted onto Lin Moyang's body, but it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no feedback at all, and the uncle sighed curiously.
"The magic talent is very poor, almost none, and it doesn't look like an exceptional enrollment, but there are no magic families in China, and there is not even a record of local wizards, is it very rich?" The uncle glanced at Moira while thinking, and suddenly said quietly: "Although he may be very rich, but his magic talent is too poor, why don't you change your boyfriend?"
Moira looked at the man who usually took care of himself like his own father with such a cautious expression, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, she said: "Uncle Ford, how can there be, this is not my boyfriend, this is ......" When she said this, Moira deliberately lowered her voice and motioned for Ford to come over, and she muttered a few words softly in Ford's ear. Lin Moyang saw that Ford's jaw was falling down as if it was being pulled by gravity.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Seeing you and Xiaomo so affectionate, I thought it was her boyfriend, hahahaha...... Your Excellency, please don't be angry......" Ford kept snoring, and cold sweat began to break out on his head nervously.
"How can there be, Uncle Ford should be sympathetic to the juniors, hahaha, I was originally a junior, you are an elder, how can an elder apologize to the junior, not to mention that you haven't done anything. Lin Moyang looked at such a middle-aged man so respectfully, he was in a dilemma, and he didn't know how to put his hand.
When Ford heard Lin Moyang's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Moira suspiciously, and Moira still said with a smile: "At first, I also thought that His Excellency Sueyang and His Excellency Fenglong had a temper, but later I found that His Excellency Sueyang was much gentler. ”
Lin Moyang thought to himself, what does this have to do with gentleness, or how vicious Brother Fenglong is in your hearts?
But when it comes to ferocity, Lin Moyang is still the second-class young man who is boxing with the doorman in the doorman's room, drinking beer and watching news and small movies, and he is often called out by the young lady of the Yan family to run errands every day, otherwise this guy can stay in the office for a day to play online games.
"But this is not in the academy, so please keep it a secret from Uncle Ford!" said Moira, taking Ford's arm, like a daughter coquettish with her father.
"Okay, and, Xiaomo, you'd better raise the money quickly, everything over there is ready. Ford whispered a reminder as he agreed.
When Moira heard this, a trace of imperceptible loss suddenly flashed on her smiling face, and then the girl smiled again: "Okay, Uncle Ford, there's no problem~ I'll inform the president when I go back, there are still a lot of believers in the academy, and brothers and sisters should be able to get together together." ”
Fukut nodded, and then he sighed, took five silver coins from his pocket and put them in Moira's hand, he said, "This is my fundraiser." ”
Moira hurriedly retracted her hand behind her back, as if the silver coin was hot: "Ah, how can this be, Uncle Ford's salary is not particularly high, and there are still 7 children in the family with tuition and living expenses." No, you can't!"
Ford looked at the girl's insistent eyes, sighed, stuffed the five silver coins back into his pocket, rummaged for a while, and then took out a few banknotes and three copper coins from the corner of his pocket and handed them to Moira, and then he said: "That's good, seeing that you are obviously not rich, and you have been working so hard, I am a person who has started a family and a business, and I can't let me just look at it." Keep it, these should do. ”
Moira looked at the middle-aged uncle's resolute face, it seemed that he had a few more gray hairs recently, and the girl took the copper coin from the middle-aged uncle's hand, thanked him, and carefully put it in her satchel.
At this time, Lin Moyang realized that Moira's satchel originally only had a few copper coins, and the small satchel was empty, and there was not even a girl's cosmetics. Lin Moyang remembered that his college female classmates always had a lot of makeup gadgets in their bags, and from time to time they took them out and painted them on their faces in a small mirror.
Moira turned her head and saw that Lin Moyang was looking at her with a strange look, and hurriedly squeezed a smile on her face, as if she had never been troubled: "Now, Your Excellency, it's almost us, let's go to that ......" Moira nervously took out the ticket and looked at it again, and then said: "Counter 3!
Without waiting for Lin Moyang to answer, Moira had already pulled Lin Moyang and ran to counter No. 3 like a run. Lin Moyang knew what secrets this girl had in her heart, but if he had changed to before, he would definitely have more than one thing to do, this kind of thing was not completely related to him, and even if it was him who was on the bus 5 days ago, he would definitely treat it as if it hadn't happened.
But now it's different, now that he has decided to have an extraordinary life, he also has enough opportunities to realize his former delusions. So, what boy hasn't fantasized about being able to play a superhero in front of such a cute girl? Lord Green has even fantasized about being Batman! He's done with the Batmobile!
Moira was stopped running, and it was then that Moira realized that the surrogate who had been with her for five days and felt that her personality was particularly gentle actually had a very strong pair of arms.
Lin Moyang took Moira's hand and met Moira's puzzled eyes.
"That...... If you're not in a hurry, I'll ask you later. Lin Moyang went through all the lines of the hero's appearance in his mind, but when it came to his mouth, his voice became both cowardly and nervous.
Moira looked at Lin Moyang's embarrassed eyes, and ten thousand question marks rose in her heart, how did she know that a certain teenager had just taken the first step of pretending to be b, and his leg was broken by the boy's own personality?
"Ah...... Forehead...... Okay, let's go save money first!" Moira reacted and pushed Lin Moyang forward, and Lin Moyang sat down on the small chair at counter 3.
The counter of Sailfish Bank is a little tall, and with Lin Moyang's height, he can't help but sit up straight in order to talk to the staff at the counter more comfortably.
At the counter was an old man with reading glasses, in line with all the descriptions of the great magician in Lin Moyang's heart, with a white beard that reached his chest, bright eyes under wrinkles on his face, and the quaint pipe in his left hand, if it weren't for the old man wearing a neat suit, Lin Moyang would almost think that Gandalf or Albus Dumbledore was sitting on the other side of the glass.
The old man took a puff of his pipe, glanced at Lin Moyang, and showed an interested gaze, then he let go of the cigarette holder and said, "What business are you here to handle?" Unfortunately, the old man spoke Japanese, and Lin Moyang couldn't understand it.
The old man looked at Lin Moyang's bewildered expression, muttered in his heart, cleared his throat again, and repeated in Korean: "What can I do to help you?"
Lin Moyang still looked at the old man behind the glass with a confused expression, and changed to Korean again, but he still couldn't understand. After all, not every Chinese student will learn Japanese and Korean well, Lin Moyang used to be a standard otaku, and he only watched the kind with subtitles.
Finally, after looking around awkwardly, the old man asked in Chinese, "What business do you want to handle?"
Lin Moyang finally understood this sentence, and he quickly replied: "Save money!"
The old man also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Moyang's answer, and he took another puff of his pipe with satisfaction, and Lin Moyang noticed that yellow smoke was spewing out of the pipe.
"Ha, Chinese! I haven't seen it for many years! When I was an Allied pilot, my plane fell deep in the mountains of Yunnan, China, and a few Chinese carried me out of the crash site. The old man happily rolled up the sleeves of his suit, and a centipede-like scar on the old arm under the suit made Lin Moyang swallow his saliva.
"Ha, that's a strange place, once you enter China, you can't use any spells, and I was thinking that there was no one around, and I wanted to use the spell to get myself out of the cabin. The old man could see that he had been an Allied veteran, and listening to his account, it seemed that he had been saved by the Chinese people on the battlefield in China.
"Since that little guy named Fenglong suddenly appeared a few years ago, I have been able to see Chinese faces in the wizarding realm in the past few years. The old man took a beautiful puff of his pipe, and then he put the pipe aside, and the wooden cabinet behind him opened automatically, and a stack of application sheets and a quill floated out of the drawer.
"Name!" the old man asked.
"Lin Moyang!" Lin Moyang replied, but the old man frowned when he heard this answer.
"You really reported your real name?" the old man leaned back against the glass in some surprise and looked at Lin Moyang carefully, "Or is this your wizard name......?" It's not surprising, what's Chinese strange about a Chinese-style wizard name......" the old man muttered, filling in the list repeatedly.
"How much?" asked the old man again.
Lin Moyang took out the only gold coin from his pocket and put it on the counter, and said with some embarrassment: "Just ...... Just one ......"
The old man squinted at the gold coin, and then the wrinkled eyes at the bottom suddenly stretched out from the pile of wrinkles, revealing an incredible light. "Ni...... The old man cautiously looked at the glass a few times, and after confirming that it was correct, he recited in a low voice: "According to the wishes of the owner of the gold coin, my behavior is not inappropriate!" As soon as he finished reciting, he couldn't wait to take the Nibelon GEN gold coin from the lattice under the glass, and his mouth was still muttering: "This is the 35,261st Nibelon gen gold coin in this bank! I didn't expect to be able to see it from a retail investor! Boy! Which family are you!? No, there is no wizard family in China!" What is your relationship with the dragon?"
Lin Moyang was taken aback by the old man's fierce reaction, the old man almost pressed his face against the glass, and a hint of rosy appeared on his old cheeks, obviously caused by great excitement.
Lin Moyang was about to open his mouth to answer, but the old man shrank back and cautiously put the gold coins on a tray next to him, and this ceramic tray automatically flew up and floated backwards. At this time, the old man said to himself: "I can't say it, I can't say it, if you kid is really someone from Fenglong, then this occasion is really not suitable for talking." ”
Lin Moyang was a little skeptical that this guy was a little senile, and he was always shocked.
After a while, the tray flew back with a sheepskin contract, and the old man handed the contract to Lin Moyang through the opening below, motioning for him to sign it.
Lin Moyang took the quill, signed it with difficulty, and handed the pen and the contract back to the old man, the old man glanced at the contract, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Say, how much are you going to withdraw?" You now have a deposit of 100 gold coins, that kid really played cards according to common sense as the rumors said, and the living expenses actually used this thing, how many people hid the ground and wanted to hide the Nibelon gen gold coins at home, and he was so generous to give you New Year's money. ”
Lin Moyang asked with a confused expression: "Then ...... How's that calculated?"
The old man snorted, picked up the pipe next to him again, and said, "One gold coin for ten silver coins, ten silver coins for ten copper coins, because it is a withdrawal of money, so there is no exchange fee." Say, how much?"
Lin Moyang thought about it carefully, he also had no idea about the purchasing power of this silver and copper coin, but I heard that a Nibelung GEN gold coin is equal to 20w US dollars, so a gold coin is about 2,000 US dollars.
"Then ...... 5 silver coins and 50 bronze coins. Lin Moyang silently calculated and said a little uncertainly.
"It's over. The old man tapped on the top of the counter, and the tray flew away automatically, and when he came back after a while, the currency that Lin Moyang wanted was already on the plate.
The old man poured the silver and copper coins into the hole under the counter, and Lin Moyang successfully reached out and got the money he had obtained. Then the old man spat out the smoke ring and said with a smile: "It's good to see Chinese faces, and I have such a beautiful girlfriend, I think I also had a time with a local girl when I was in Ukraine, but then the troops were transferred, and I found the blonde girl." Come on, young man!" After saying that, the veteran also clenched his fist, and wiped out his own wizard and World War II heroes.
Lin Moyang sighed, turned his head to look at Moira, who was waiting for him on the side, blushing, and asked, "Okay, it's time to talk about your problems." ”
