Chapter 181: Standard Chartered Bank

"Juliet, if you're okay at night, can you be my maiden companion to the banquet?"

Downton scratched his hair, quite embarrassed, this was the first time he had said such a thing.

"Hmm!"

Juliet lowered her head, very ashamed, her cheeks were red, she wanted to be reserved, but she was worried that Downton would give up, so she immediately agreed.

"He doesn't think I'm a frivolous woman, does he?"

Juliet, who is in love, suffers from gains and losses, and her melancholy is like a cumulonimbus cloud in midsummer.

"Okay, you go back and get ready, let him report on the rest of the work!" Downton noticed Juliet's dark circles and couldn't help but worry, "You're too tired, just take a break!"

"I'm not tired!"

Juliet hurriedly shook her head, but her tired demeanor was not convincing at all, and the powerhouses of the Dragon Slayer Rank were full of energy, which could make them all boil out dark circles, which showed how terrifying the intensity of work was.

"Go and rest!" Downton's tone hardened beyond rebuttal, "by the way, let Elaine cast a sacred song for you!"

"Hmm!"

Being cared for by her sweetheart, Juliet's heart was sweet, she walked out of the room in a daze as if she had drunk a mellow wine, but after a few minutes, she ran back again, "Oops, I forgot a big thing!"

Juliet leads the way, and Downton calls Elaine and Hu Tao to the Standard Chartered Bank.

"Heart of the Spring?

Hu Tao is not afraid of the cold, eating a cone, curiously inquiring.

"It's a spring of consciousness that you can understand as a kind of life, and it takes more than 100 million years to be born, so it's very precious, and it's on the list of magical monsters. Ranked twelfth!"

Homer popularized science for everyone.

"How much gold is it worth?"

The values of the little walnut are basically measured in gold coins, the more expensive, the better!

"There is no market for it, no one will sell this kind of superb monster, you know. Because it is the heart of spring water, it is conceived from the essence of heaven and earth, and it only takes a small sip to cleanse the impurities in the body, purify the soul tree, and raise the rank. ”

Homer looked at Downton and couldn't help but sigh, "Your guy's luck is really good, this is a treasure among water-based monsters, and it naturally has a strong healing effect." Drink it, and your injuries will not only heal, but you will also be able to move up to the first rank. ”

"How did you catch it?"

Downton's achievement as a generalissimo at the age of twenty-two is already beyond the reach of many people, so he is not in a hurry to rush the steps, but is full of interest in the ten-story steel boulder building.

That is the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank, which is also a landmark building in the free trade zone. And the last bastion, here. One of the most elite regiments of Frankfurt was stationed.

Many of the returning goblins came from the great aristocracy, like Abagon, so they kept many books, including architecture.

This is the lost technology of the Great Land, and it is a knowledge far beyond the current architecture of the Western Earth Continent.

Quite a few goblins. They all have the same ideal, that is, to reproduce the glory of their ancestors, so that races are no longer discriminated against, and truly equal and recognized, so they have been frugal in recent years. He donated all his salary and built the bank.

Standard Chartered was once one of the three major banks of the Great Goblin Era, and its business spread across all planes, they were no longer just lending and investing, but they began to run 'kings', select talents, and then support them, assist them to ascend to the throne, and then reclaim a lot of land and wealth.

The goblins know the disadvantage of their own race, that is, they are short in stature and have low combat effectiveness, because they use another strategy, using the advantage of their clever brains, to establish a puppet regime, and then achieve the strategic intention of controlling the plane.

Abagon and his freed compatriots built the building as a symbol and base for revival.

Of course, the ownership of the bank is in Downton's hands, and the goblins, all his slaves, at least for now, have not thought of betrayal.

"It was a lucky ogre native who got it by accident, and that guy thought it was some kind of mutated slime species, so he was going to sell it to a potion shop, but the boss was too ruthless and wanted to lower the price!"

Juliet showed a mocking expression, "The ogre was naturally not happy, so there was an argument, and it happened that the blood mallet passed by, and it was in my hands!"

Juliet said it simply, but it was full of twists and turns, and for the heart of this spring, nearly a thousand people died, including the owner of the pharmacy and his marquis's backstage.

"Bloodhammer is willing to give me this superb monster?"

Downton wondered, he didn't think that two-headed ogre was so loyal.

"I was just about to remind you that the Blood Mallet held the Heart of the Spring for more than a day before handing it over to me, obviously during this time, I was hesitating!"

Juliet has the right to mobilize some of Odin's Eye agents, so she keeps an eye on the Bloodhammer.

Bloodhammer was reluctant to give up the Heart of the Spring, because with it, he could safely step into the rank of the scepter, and even have a chance to attack the generalissimo, but as a chief, for the sake of the future of the clan, he gave up, because he knew that once he used this monster, he would inevitably offend Downton, and the dragon hills would no longer have a place for themselves, and the clan might be implicated.

"This is human nature, and in this case, will I look like a scheming villain?"

Downton asked rhetorically, he is used to being a good person, and he is not used to this kind of thing.

"You have to adapt, it gives the heart of the spring, and in exchange, the people get your protection, otherwise why would you help a group of natives?"

Homer sneered, "Win-win, those hilly natives are not qualified for this, I think the blood mallet also knows, without your free trade zone, in this winter when the cold wave is approaching, millions of natives will directly freeze to death, and then because of lack of clothing and food, it will further induce tribal conflicts, and many more people will die." ”

Homer's guess was correct, and it was because he knew the terrible effects of the cold winter that Bloodhammer reluctantly handed over the Heart of the Spring, but he was not stupid and began to spread rumors that he had paid a great price for his race.

"It is necessary to let Xia Luo come forward, these merits must be placed on the virtuous wolf!"

Listen to Juliet's report. Downton's brows furrowed, the natives were simple, but these chiefs were different, their early minds gave birth to great ambitions, and they had plenty of food. After surviving without worry, I began to want more rights.

As long as there is society, there will be classes, even if it is an ant, they all think better, not to mention that the chiefs still have armed forces in their hands!

"What? That Bloodhammer is already disloyal?

Listening to the conversation of the crowd, Xiao Hu Tao waved his fist, and anyone who dared to hurt the big brother must be killed.

"Eat your ice cream!"

Downton slapped little Lori on the head.

"What are you going to do?"

Homer asked.

"I'm watching for a while. If it really doesn't work, I'm supporting another puppet chief!"

Downton knew that this was Homer's examination school, so he thought about it very seriously before answering.

"Yes, you are already a superior person, you must learn how to use your subordinates and people, don't encounter any problems, just use violence and massacres to solve them. Even if the blood mallet is unfaithful, before it causes great danger. It can also be used to squeeze out the last of its surplus value. ”

Homer taught.

Juliet listened attentively, and at the same time a little snickered, and Downton did not avoid talking about it himself, saying that he was his descendant.

"Wow, what a beautiful bronze statue!"

Little Walnut suddenly cheered. Rushed to the bank.

Downton turned his head, dumbfounded, in the square in front of the bank, there was a bronze statue, a young man holding a book and reading.

It's definitely the handiwork of a great artist. Because every detail of the statue is perfect, even the expression of staring and frowning slightly is vivid, and a literary style rushes to the face.

"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"

Downton smiled bitterly, because this ten-meter-tall statue was exactly what he looked like, and that book was naturally the Great Ancient Magic Book.

On the back of the statue, there is also a beautiful little girl lying on her stomach, who happens to be smiling, and her sweet and lovely atmosphere can be seen at a glance.

"Back to the master, we originally planned to cast a group of statues, but after all, you are too young, and there is still a long way to go, and you will definitely be able to achieve greater achievements, so we will put it on hold for the time being!"

The district chief bowed and replied.

"What a shame!"

This kind of sycophancy, Downton's cheeks are red, only a big hero and a wise king is worthy of a statue, "Let's tear it down!"

"Master!"

The district chief and Juliet were anxious.

"Keep it, it's an incentive!"

Homer felt that it didn't matter, "With your current achievements, you are worthy of him!"

"Big brother, look, this little girl looks like me!"

Little Walnut beckoned happily to Downton, and she even planned to climb next to the statue and put her face together for the big brother to contrast.

"Little master, that's you!"

The district chief hurriedly patted his ass.

"Huh, huh?"

Xiao Hu Tao was startled, and then circled around the statue, the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and she couldn't help but cheer, "Oh Ye, you can be with your big brother forever." ”

Downton originally insisted on demolishing the statue, but Xiao Hutao's words suddenly made him soften.

"Well, then stay!"

Downton's eyes fell on the bank in front of him, the building was like a huge cube of cuboids, both overall and detailed, it was geometric, except for the Frankfurt flag, Downton's personal battle flag, and the flags of the goblins.

The district chief looked at Downton and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't have any dissatisfaction.

The bank clerks had apparently gotten the news and were all waiting in line on the long street.

"Go to work, I'll take a look!"

Although Downton said this, no one moved, but after he stepped on this fifty-step staircase, he hurriedly followed.

The door of the bank is a whole transparent magic crystal, engraved with a magic array, every time someone approaches within five meters, it will sense it and automatically open.

This alone surprised those merchants, knowing that even the Nine Great Empires did not have this kind of magical technology.

Although the banks of the Nine Great Empires are all opened manually by specialized beautiful female doormen, compared to this kind of technology, it seems to be backward. (To be continued......)
