Chapter 34: The Temple of Wealth

"In the name of the dark moon without light, may gold never fade. Shul drew a circle with his hand and took the bag of gold coins handed to him.

"In the name of money and wealth, may you be rich and rich. Standing opposite Shuer was a middle-aged man wearing a silver robe with a gold coin-shaped emblem on his chest. With a flip of his fingers, he skillfully put the two copper coins on the table into the counter, and the middle-aged man showed a professional smile, "Happy trading, Priest Shuer, the Temple of Fortune is looking forward to your visit again." ”

There is no doubt that this is the branch of the Temple of Fortune in the Pantheon, and it is also one of the hubs that supports the operation of the financial system of the Pantheon.

The financial system of Pavatiga is very interesting and very Pavatiga.

Before the establishment of the Temple of the Gods, Pavatiga did not have a perfect financial system, various countries, major powers, often have their own financial systems, a place has a local currency, which is not common to each other, and some forces are even in the barter stage, there is no opportunity to use money at all.

This caused great inconvenience to the communication between races and nations before, which did not have much effect in the chaotic times, but when the Temple of the Gods was built, Parvatica entered the era of peace, and the communication between the nations and tribes gradually increased.

Although countries are trying to solve the problem, for example, after years of negotiations, to unify the size and weight of the currency, as well as the metal content of the various coins, it is difficult to solve the fundamental problem.

The fundamental problem is that there is no trust between them without an effective check. In order to take advantage of the situation, some countries reduce the purity of gold coins a little and replace them with other metals, while some countries reduce the thickness of gold coins slightly, which is not visible if the amount is small anyway.

This is true between countries, let alone individuals. In the first few years, the phenomenon of private minting of gold coins became popular, and the quality was uneven, which directly caused a large area of financial chaos, so that everyone regressed to the stage of direct use of gold and silver transactions, and it was difficult for gold and silver coins to circulate in the market.

In this case, the Temple of Fortune stepped forward.

The goddess of wealth was originally a deity with many believers, not only the number of believers can be at least in the top five among the gods, but also the only church in the whole of Parvatiga that has been officially accepted by all forces, so to speak, as long as there is a place of commerce, there are temples and believers of the goddess of wealth.

Through its influence among the major forces, the Temple of Wealth has taken over the unified coinage power, and every year it is entrusted by various countries to mint a batch of various currencies in a unified manner. Because the coins were blessed by the gods, eliminating the possibility of counterfeiting, coupled with the existence of the deterrent power of the goddess of wealth, the people inside the temple did not dare to use their power for personal gain, and the problem of a unified currency that had plagued Pavatiga for many years was solved so easily.

Since then, the Temple of Fortune has become the financial center of Pavatiga, and even slowly developed the function of a bank, as long as there is a deposit in the Temple of Wealth, with the certificate issued by them, it can be withdrawn in any temple of wealth in the world, and only need to pay a low fee. With this, Pavatiga's commerce has taken a huge leap, which has greatly contributed to the stability of the era of the Temple of the Gods, and of course, it is also with this that the number of believers in the goddess of wealth has also increased exponentially, and the number has directly jumped to the top three.

More than a thousand years have passed, and everyone is familiar with this kind of life, and it is difficult to imagine what life would be like without the Temple of Wealth. And in the ecclesiastical system, the seemingly thankless act of the Temple of Fortune taking over the coinage has become a classic case of peaceful struggle for faith, which is preached among the clergy.

The secular city is inseparable from the temple of wealth, and the temple of gods is even more inseparable. At least one-third of all the business activities in the Temple of Fortune are in the hands of the Temple of Wealth, and if you just want to live in the Temple of Gods, it doesn't mean that you can't do without the Temple of Wealth, but if you want to live a normal life, you can't avoid their existence.

Shure is no exception, to be exact, he has more opportunities to deal with the Temple of Fortune than normal people.

Whether it is as a mercenary, or as a shadow chaser, it is necessary to travel all over the world, and there are often large amounts of gold coins in and out, no one will carry thousands of gold coins to go deep into the dangerous place, it is too stupid to do so, but all kinds of combat materials are extremely expensive, a large-scale supply, often consume hundreds of thousands of gold coins, without the Temple of Wealth, these mercenaries may not be able to cry.

However, Shul didn't come to save money and withdraw money today, he only came to exchange gold coins.

With three beautiful ladies, he threw out two large copper coins that ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to see at the exchange counter, exchanged them for two small bags of 100 gold coins each, and shook the money bag, and the collision of gold coins jingled, like the most beautiful music, which made people irresistibly intoxicated.

"Hee-hee-hee, Shul is sick again. Hiding behind Moria, out of everyone's sight, Saph leaned into the fawn's ear, and the two women were chattering, not knowing what they were whispering.

However, shaking the money bag and enjoying themselves, the god who is in love with the sound center of the gold coin will definitely not meet them like them.

"Brother, don't make trouble, it's too embarrassing. Lisa covered her face and couldn't bear to look at her, "Where do you need so many gold coins?"

The girl didn't ask why Shuer was suddenly so rich, in fact, she knew very well that Shuer's private account in the Temple of Fortune often had thousands of gold coins in the account, and now it was only two hundred gold coins, not even a fraction, what she was strange about was just the use of gold coins.

"To deal with a group of blood-sucking demons. Shuer sighed and looked at the money bag in his hand regretfully, "Soon they won't belong to me, and if you don't listen to the sound now, you won't have a chance in the future." Speaking of which, Lisa must be going for the first time, and you are also the first time for you, Xiaolu. ”

"Eh, why do you ask that?" Moria's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she said sadly, "My first time was obviously given to you, and you actually asked me if it was the first time." ”

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Lisa and Saph showed a tacit understanding like never before, and although they continued to look around as if they hadn't heard, all four ears were pricked up, lest they miss a word.

"Alas. Sighing weakly, Shuer rubbed the corners of his forehead in distress and said, "If you are talking about the first time to talk about the task, you definitely did not give it to me the first time, you gave it to Mia." If it's the first time chasing a shadow, then I'm sorry, you still gave Mia, or rather, you gave us a few at the same time. ”

"Hey, hey, is that so?" Moria held up a handful of roadside weeds to Saf, "Come, Sasa, I'll ask you to eat grass." ”

"I don't want it. Angrily pushing away the fawn's paws, Saph secretly glanced at Lisa, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, well, it's okay, at least not lost.

"Well, well, it's not the first time I've been to that kind of place. Finding that she couldn't get mixed up, Moria pursed her mouth and said, "Although in the past two years, you have been negotiating on the shadow side, but once I was curious, I sneaked in, but not here, on the side of the Maika Forest." ”

"The voucher...... Forget it, the voucher over there can't be used here anyway. It doesn't matter, presumably they don't dare to stop it. Shuer pondered for a moment, and said indifferently, "Since you have been in the fawn, it is mainly Lisa, and there are a few points that you should pay attention to." ”

"Yes. The girl replied aloud with anticipation, "I promise not to forget a word." ”

"The first is not to look around, especially people, no matter how curious they are, don't stare at them. Shuer earnestly instructed, "The temper of the shadow chasers is often not very good, and the strength of the surviving veterans is not bad, I don't want to cause you to encounter any danger because I want to take you over to see it." ”

"Well, I don't look at anyone, just staring at my brother. ”

"Well, that's not necessary. Xiuer shook his head with a smile, "Second, don't talk too much, even if you see someone you know, you don't recognize it, don't take the initiative to go up and say hello." Although shadow chasers are not an unsightly profession, many people have other identities and don't want too many people to know that they are shadow chasers. ”

"Okay, I'll pretend to be dumb, but ...... Why are they hiding it?"

"Because of the trouble, there will be a lot of trouble if there are more people who know. Xiuer sighed, "Let's say me, if everyone's identity is known, suddenly one day, Marquis Ruben came to me, saying that he has a friend, a junior, and a warlord, and wants to follow me to see and understand in the otherworldly projection, do you say I agree or not?"

"Hmm, I see. ”

"Actually, the second point is not so strict, mainly because there are not only shadow chasers, but also many middlemen who want to buy loot directly from us, and the identities of these middlemen often need to be kept secret. But you don't understand the situation, you don't know who can communicate, and who wants to pretend not to know, so don't take the initiative to speak. Of course, it doesn't matter if someone you know takes the initiative to greet you. ”

"You're so mysterious here. Lisa understood, but Moria, pretending to be surprised, said, "It's very casual over there in the Maika Forest. ”

"That's because you're also a member of the Shadow Chaser, so of course you don't have so many scruples. ”

"Eh, really?" said Moria, dumbfounded, "I thought you were too nervous for Lisa to be wronged." ”

"Ahem, ahem." Completely ignoring the embarrassing question, Shuer forced a serious statement, "Lisa, do you remember?"

"Hee-hee. "My brother really likes me the most, and the girl smiled sweetly with a little pride.
