Chapter 482: Levi's Little Vault
January 31, 1307 in the valley calendar.
This day is undoubtedly a day of special significance for all Northlanders, especially for certain groups.
I don't know when it began, the phrase Northland United Development Bank has been mentioned more and more frequently by Northland people.
What they didn't know was that this was a rumor deliberately unleashed by Zeellandia's upper echelons after getting Levi's permission.
With the end of the Moon Sea War and the huge war reparations being paid in batches from Luskan like a siphon, there was nothing to stop this economic strategic plan, which had long been proposed by Levi, the lord of Zeellandia himself, and approved by the high-level leaders of the three cities of the Northlands.
As early as the day of the triumph of the Midwinter Festival, several merchants who rented the corner shop in the most prosperous corner of the commercial street in the first city of Minas Stirris, with a look of confusion and ecstasy, happily moved out with a huge amount of liquidated damages and a shop replacement contract.
It's just that because of the triumphal day, almost all the attention of the people was attracted by Zeelandia's triumphal ceremony.
When the heartfelt agitation and pride calmed down and continued to return to the ordinary life, I was stunned to find out how the corner store with the largest flow of people and the best business in Baicheng in the past was actually razed to the ground!
Then there is the construction of the complex process that makes people from stunned, shocked to uncertain, and then numb.
Since we want to build the world's first real bank in the world, we must first build the world's top and most foolproof vault.
Unlike Blue Star's vault, it is enough to blindly pile up the vault at the physical level of protection and programming, and in the world of Corell, which is full of magical power, there is not only an endless stream of magic.
Even thieves have a wealth of advanced experience in 'unlocking' and disarming all kinds of traps.
Therefore, if the vault is only designed according to the design standards of Blue Star, it is estimated that the bank will be stolen the day after it is officially opened, and it will officially enter one of the top ten jokes in the history of Corell.
For it to be operational, it must be designed to the highest standards in the world and the most incredible theft possible:
That's... Even a god would not want to take a single gold coin from this vault!
Of course, this design concept is also called it.
Because in this world, except for the five-colored dragon mother Tiamat who loves money and life, it is possible that he is really interested in this kind of bank, and there are really not many gods who are impulsive enough to steal the wealth of the main material world.
However, in order to truly achieve this concept on paper, Levi still had the cheekiness to attack Woking, the goddess of wealth and commerce, Mystra, the goddess of magic, and Heim, the god of guardians, and imposed a divine blockade of mutual restraint and supervision on the final construction of the vault, and designed a set of magic locks completed by the three gods.
Woking, who has not felt safe since the Battle of Moonshadow Island, is almost ungodly on call.
Mistra was unexpectedly refreshed by Kelburn's prayers, and the request was very simple, after the construction of the Northland United Development Bank, a share of low-interest loans must be allocated to the registered spellcasters of the three cities of the Northland, and after making legal and compliant declarations, it will be used as a research fund for their spell projects.
This unexpected and reasonable condition Li Wei naturally has no reason to refuse, the research and development of advanced magic is what Li Wei is happy to see, and the healthy development of a profession and even the industry is inseparable from the support of diversity.
Therefore, with a slap of the tail, it is better to simply set up another patent office of Zeellandia Intellectual Property Office.
If the casters are willing to file their magic research and development with the Intellectual Property Office, they will be able to obtain larger loan amounts and lower or even no interest rates.
At the same time, the results of their magical research and development will also be protected by the Intellectual Property Office.
Once a magic patent is commercially used, the developer will also receive a percentage of the royalties.
Of course, if it is a commercial transaction facilitated by the patent office, a certain commission is required as an administrative fee.
As for the god of protection, Heim's reaction was somewhat beyond Levi's expectations, and the god of protection, who had only been with him once, responded to his request without asking for anything.
What Levi didn't know was that what he did on Moonshadow Island almost directly affected Tyr at that time, and strengthened his belief in fighting the Chaos Demon Dog to the death.
And judging from the final result, the three gods of justice were able to re-blockade the Chaos Demon Dog at the lowest cost (the self-blockade and exile of the God of Suffering), and what Levi did in the Mental Image World of the Battlefield of Trials was indeed a great contribution.
Heim, the god of protection, did this purely to return Levi's dragon love.
With the protection of the three gods, it basically means that in the future, even the evil scale Tiamat will open his face to rob the treasury, and I am afraid that he will have to return with a disgraced defeat.
After nearly a month of intensive construction, the largest vault under Minas Stiris has finally been completed.
In order to excavate the vault, which is between Minas Stirris, which is nearly a kilometre underground, the Zeellandia City Hall even redesigned the sewers and ancillary pipes in parts of the First City.
Because the vault is built underground, the only way to get between the bank and the vault is to take an 'elevator' similar to the one in the Nether magic ship to finally reach the gate of the Minas Stirris's vault.
At this moment, Levi stood in front of the hundred-foot-tall gate, personally introducing this underground palace-like vault to his future partners, namely Vera Marandez, the Silvermoon Dragon Mother and her husband Silverwing, the ten city lords of the Silvermoon Federation including the Shining Lady Erastro, and the six masked lords of Drawing Water City, including Kelburn:
"The door of this vault is made up of a thousand-ton cylinder and nearly 10,000 tons of pure alloy metal, and it takes eight mages from different magic factions on duty that day to use their faction's spell casting spells to unlock and open this enchanted door that is strong enough to resist the Nine Rings Plastic Energy spell or physical brute force cracking, just like this. ”
As he spoke, Levi raised his paw and slammed his paw towards the gate in the stunned gaze of everyone!
A strong wind blew in front of the entire vault gate, blowing out the masked lady Rosten's top hat.
But the expected roar did not appear, and I saw Levi's dragon claw stop half a foot away from the door of the vault, and at the same time, a force field like a substance rippled like ripples on the surface of the water, making it difficult for Levi's full force to attack again.
Levi withdrew his claws, then spread his claws and said:
"However, I am only a young dragon who has not yet been promoted to a legend, and my weak strength is not enough to test the defensive effect of this vault gate, I don't know if any of you elders are interested in trying to test it. ”
Although it is no secret to everyone present that Tiberius, the red dragon in the early years, and Levi, the red dragon in the early years, are actually a dragon, but when they heard that this guy was actually just a young dragon, even with their cultivation, it was still a little difficult to control the emotions stirring in their hearts.
Especially Silver Wing, who stayed behind his wife, the corners of his mouth were twitching, and people who didn't know the inside story were afraid to think that this guard 'Terry' had Parkinson's disease when they saw this scene.
You must know that for dragons, no matter how mediocre their talent is, as long as they successfully transition from the old dragon to the ancient dragon stage and wake up successfully, it is a proper legend.
So the sooner you break through the legend on your own before that limit, the stronger the talent.
And one of the default boundaries in the dragon is the prime of life, and the ability to achieve legends between the ages of 200 and 400 is the category of genius.
He Diszedrroton Silverwing was also regarded as a significant genius among metal dragons back then, and officially entered the legend before he was in the prime of life, and was once regarded as one of the potential stocks in metal dragons, and the mainstay of the future.
It's just that genius also has the flaw of genius, and the achievement of legend is too early, so he has no motivation to continue to improve, and indulges in traveling around all day long transforming into a human or an elf on the continent of Corell, purely relying on the age advantage of the dragon to grow savagely.
It wasn't until she was about to reach old age that she met Vera Marandez, who was also a genius, and once 'heroes save beauty' before she hugged the rich woman.
Since hugging the golden thighs of the Silver Moon Dragon Mother, Silver Wing has become even more decadent, indulging in role-playing games in the Northland all day long, especially in recent years, it has become more and more intense, suffering from transvestism...
So much so that when others commented on the Northland Dragon, they said that he Silver Wing was a genius among adult dragons and a waste wood among ancient dragons...
It is precisely because of this that Silver Wing is extremely sensitive to the word genius.
But he had to admit that Levi's, a descendant, was probably the fastest growing dragon in the Northland in the past thousand years, except for Sylvie back then!
If Levi can step into the realm of legends before he reaches adulthood like Sylvie, then he will be the most promising genius beyond Sylvie!
And according to all the signs in front of me, I'm afraid that this guy's promotion to a legend is probably a matter of sleeping again...
There are even faint suspicions that Levi can actually step into the door of the legend at any time, but he does not seem to be satisfied with the 'road' in front of him, so he chooses to stop the legend for the time being to explore more possibilities.
Because of Levi's fierce strength in the Battle of the Moon Sea, some ordinary legends may be crushed in front of him, and Levi's so-called non-legend is far from being a supermodel.
This claw was enough to make an unsuspecting legend die on the spot, and even as an ancient silver dragon, he didn't dare to resist.
Since even Levi himself said that he couldn't test the defensive power of this vault with his strength, how many people could test it, not to mention that they didn't know what the upper limit of this vault's defense was.
Maybe it's true, as Levi said earlier, that even a god can't take a gold coin from here without going through the process of consenting?
In that case, why should they bring shame upon themselves?
Seeing that everyone was silent, in the end, it was the Silver Moon Dragon Mother who laughed in the tone of an elder:
"Now that the reputation of your Shining Wings has spread throughout the Northland due to the Moon Sea War, you should stop stimulating our family's Silver Wings, if your strength can only be called weak, I'm afraid that Corell's definition of legend will have to be raised another notch, let's continue to talk about this vault, it is related to how much treasure you can remove from our lair. ”
And the Silver Moon Dragon Mother's direct answer to her husband's high emotional intelligence of worshipping the sky was echoed by the legends present, but it also attracted the side eyes of the lords and city lords!
So much so that Kelburn couldn't help but ask on the spot, "Is Her Majesty Verama Randes going to keep your treasure in this vault?"
The humanoid Silver Moon Dragon Mother shook her head reservedly and said:
"It's only a part, after all, even my 'soft wing', in terms of security, may not be comparable to this vault that has been 'blessed' by the three gods, not to mention that Tiberius also gave me an irresistible interest rate, although this may make me lose sleep for a while on the pile of treasure that has shrunk in a circle, but the thought that as long as I need to redeem it is a matter of formalities, it seems to be a good choice. ”
The Silver Moon Dragon Mother's answer once again caused a lot of people to ponder, but no one was stupid enough to ask what the interest rate was on this occasion, it was impossible for the Silver Moon Dragon Mother to take the initiative to blow herself up, this thing was all negotiated with strength and financial resources.
Just as everyone was talking, as the spells of the eight priests landed on the ground, there was a dull and distant vibration on the ground, followed by a clattering sound of the machine turning, and then a loud bang, the door of the vault, which weighed thousands of tons, finally slowly opened from everyone's eyes.
A ray of golden light poured out from the crack in the slowly opening door.
The light was so dazzling that some city lords instinctively raised their hands to cover their faces, and after getting used to the dazzling golden light, they couldn't help but take deep breaths one after another.
"Oh my God... Am I here in the kingdom of the goddess of wealth?" said the masked lady Rosteen in exclamation.
What is presented to everyone at this moment is a veritable vault!
The space inside was much more empty than expected, as large as the four squares of the Seventh City of Minas Stirris, combined.
Designed by the mages of the Zelandia Magic Research Institute and supervised by the gray dwarf patriarch Tiger himself, this vault is truly as golden as the kingdom of God.
Every twenty paces, an equally gilded steel golem stood guard invisibly like a guard.
On the metal shelves filled with bells, piles of treasures were piled up like ordinary metal blocks.
And it's not all gold here, Kelben only glanced at it, and at least saw the common kryptonite ingots, Mithril ingots and other magical metals.
Then there is the Heaven Coin from the fifth layer of Heavenly Mountain, although celestial beings often regard it as an insult, believing that associating such a sacred place with a dirty coin is simply a blasphemy.
However, Paradise Coins are still the most popular means of payment when it comes to large transactions, and while a single Paradise Coin is a lot of money for most of the main planes, there are still plenty of places where it must be used in the legendary Sigil City: information, magic, important equipment, or mercenaries.
In addition, there are magnet coins from the earth elemental plane, rainbow stones like four-sided dice, peach source bell coins from Xanadu and Perseverance City, pine coins from the Unrestrained Field, gear coins from the Machine Realm, gems from the Scorching Hell, pearls from Tinterbrand, and jade from the Twin Heavens.
When she saw this, even the well-informed Silver Moon Dragon Mother couldn't help but glance at Levi more, secretly admiring that his ambition was too great.
Yes, these currencies were collected from the mainland by Levi's dependents in preparation for the opening of dimensional trade in the future.
In some ways, gold is not accepted for trading, it is called foreign exchange reserves, but it is just an ambition for the time being.
Levi led the way with a smile on his face, and introduced to everyone:
"As you can see, this vault will hold the reserves of the Northland United Development Bank and the foreign exchange deposits of the countries.
"The walls around it are also made of pure alloy nearly 100 feet thick, and there are various protective circles and spell space faults embedded inside, which means that this vault is actually a small half-plane to some extent, and it is the kind of half-plane that cannot teleport and use space equipment.
"If someone sneaks into the vault, an alarm system will be triggered, and our Icarus Intelligent Defense System in Zeellandia will quickly lock off the entire space within 0.3 milliseconds, and quickly drain the air inside, making it a vacuum like an out-of-space realm.
"And when this half-plane is destroyed, the blockade mechanism of the goddess of wealth will be triggered, and these treasures will be teleported and preserved to the kingdom of the goddess of wealth, Woking.
"Although this has not been tested, this vault is theoretically strong enough to withstand the solar blast of Sancheris released by Karthas in the Nether era.
"I don't know about such a defense system, guys, are you still satisfied?"
Everyone looked at each other, speechless.
If you are not satisfied with the vault that is enough to enter the top ten architectural marvels in the history of Corell's architecture, I am afraid that you will have to go to the Seal City to find the Lady of Pain as a guarantor...
Just after the lords had visited what was probably the most exaggerated vault on the entire Korrell continent, Levi waved his paw at the managers:
"Okay, you can all move out. ”
Watching those vault managers use the most primitive methods to push these gold ingots on small carts and push them to the magical 'elevator', even the Silver Moon Dragon Mother was a little confused:
"Tiberius, what are you doing here?"
Li Wei said as a matter of course: "Since it is a bank reserve, it is natural to prove to the depositors that we have the ability to repay without limit." ”
The Silver Moon Dragon Mother was speechless and hid her face...
Well, this guy is here to show off his wealth today...
But the question is... Such a real mountain of gold that even she had the urge to loot moved out...
Aren't you afraid that the five-colored dragons of the entire Northland will go crazy collectively!!
