Chapter 138: Betrayal

In a caravan departing from the Grand Duchy of Greg, Tony sat in a carriage, his eyes shining at the forum, his hands trembling slightly with excitement.

His father was a noble baron, and he had three sons and a daughter.

After the collapse of the Kaman Empire, the great nobles fought a war of words over the "inheritance" of the empire, so that the "primogeniture" of the current Kaman Kingdom has long since collapsed.

Nowadays, in order to ensure family inheritance, the succession of noble titles is almost always based on merit.

He, a noble son with congenitally weakened soul power, is naturally destined to miss the inheritance of the title.

Generally, the children of nobles cannot inherit the title, and most of them will choose to join the church and become a priest and priest.

If you can climb to a high position in the future, you can still be in the east of the river for 30 years and 30 years in the west of the river.

It's a pity that Tony still can't take this path.

The innate decline of his soul power not only made it difficult for him to achieve great achievements in magic, but even the church disliked and rejected it.

If he had been a little more noble, he might have been able to enter the royal family and become a nobleman in the court.

Although there is no hereditary right, if it is mixed well, it is not impossible to turn back into a feudal nobility.

It's a pity that he is neither high nor low.

All of this has contributed to Tony becoming the most humble of the nobles - a merchant.

Under his father's arrangement, he had to learn to run a business, and since then he has been attached to the power of the family.

This kind of life seems good, but it is limited to his generation.

When the descendants grow up, his blood relatives are destined to be lonely.

He's seen too many cases!

He was not reconciled!

But he was powerless to return to heaven.

It wasn't until he came into contact with the Internet, the library that came into contact with the Internet, and even online classes, that he found a glimmer of light.

Although this glimmer of light is very faint, it is a ray of hope after all, isn't it?

Now this flame of hope has grown even more suddenly!

- The god of the Internet actually allows users to redeem essentia!!

If he used the wealth in his hands to secretly establish a player's guild, recruit a group of mercenaries, and help him strike gold in exchange for essentia, would his magical talent change as a result?

As long as it can be changed, then he has the possibility of turning the tables!

The more I thought about it, the more Tonny trembled.

Father, I work hard every day to practice, learn scheming, and even follow your advice to learn business, but you don't even look at me.

You always give the best magic items to your younger brothers and sisters, and never give me a little profit, do you know that those magic items are very likely to change my life?

Church, you poor and humble believer, who wants to take refuge in the Goddess and serve with devotion, but you don't look down on it?

Don't you flaunt justice and benevolence?

Why is it that your justice and kindness are not reflected in me?

My contribution of 10,000 gold coins in exchange for a guarantee that a younger brother will take power and not kill me?

Ok, good, good!

All right!

You all look down on me!

But the god of the Internet looked down on me, and he gave me a chance, so ...... Don't blame me for betrayal!

Tony took a deep breath and completed his self-persuasion deep inside.

"My lord, Viess is almost here!" came the sound of cavalry reports from outside the carriage.

Tony calmed his mind, opened the window, and looked out.

At this time, the convoy happened to be high in the basin, and when it looked down, it saw a huge city entrenched in the basin.

The magic tower in the middle of the city stands tall!

The convoy was closer, and the outside of the city walls could be seen patrolling with guards.

Unlike the quiet and mysterious imagined, at this time, there was a caravan lined up outside the gate of Vies.

Look at the caravan flags, some from Kerville, some from Kaman.

Tony, who carried almost all the flags of the main caravans in the southeast of the continent of Azea, even saw a caravan from the Bayer Empire.

"So many people?"

Tony's brow furrowed...... It seems that the rumors of the Kervir Empire selling the fire gun should be true.

After being inspected by the city guards, Tony's caravan was immediately released.

When he stepped into the city, Tony was stunned.

The hustle and bustle in your face is like stepping into a vegetable market.

The street he had expected did not appear.

Entering through the city gate, there is a huge ring-shaped complex that looks like half a gladiatorial arena.

The complex is like a beehive, densely packed with shops.

Some have already opened their main business;

Some are still idle.

Overall, half to half.

In almost every store that opened, there was a virtual screen outside the store, on which were written "bicycle monopoly", "wheel axle monopoly", "chain monopoly", "metal acquisition", ...... and so on.

The expected arrival of the broker did not appear.

The huge trading hall was very lively, but no one paid attention to him at all.

Tony frowned, and after he ordered the caravan to be repaired in place, he immediately took a close guard and visited to investigate.

It's okay if he doesn't check this, but this time, he can't sit still.

Almost all of the bike parts shipped by Kerville were sold out, and only a handful of samples remained.

If you want the goods, you have to make a reservation, and wait here for a few days.

It's a complete bicycle and some inventory, but the price is extremely high.

The most incredible thing for him is that the Kerville merchants do not accept cash transactions, only Internet bank transfers!

In their words, the value of each other's currencies is not uniform, and it is too cumbersome to exchange.

And the cost of shipping the money back is also high.

Instead of a box of currency, it's better to bring back some more iron ingots.

Tony is dumbfounded!

- It was the first time he had seen a cashless business transaction, even though he already knew about the existence of interbanking.

Well, since you can't buy the goods for the time being, let's sell the goods, right?

He's here to buy bike parts and even magic items.

But it also brought a lot of goods, including a small amount of Mithril and a large amount of refined iron ingots.

The Kerville merchant is quite sincere, although he picks and chooses, but the price is fair.

It's just that when it was time to pay, another scene happened that made Tony collapse.

It's just that the Kerville merchants themselves don't take cash, let alone cash, or the same sentence - bank transfer.

If you want cash, go to the branch and pick it up!

Helplessly, Tony could only accept the transfer, and then dragged the trader to the Internet bank branch to withdraw cash.

As a result, when he passed, the scene was full of people.

Some people withdraw money, some people save money, and it is very lively.

It seems that it may not be his turn when it gets dark.

Fortunately, the Internet banking outlets probably also know that businessmen are expensive in time, and they claim to handle business around the clock.

Tony simply asked the servants to line up, and he took advantage of the grand gathering of caravans in the southeast of Azea, and inquired about the news while expanding his contacts.

"Internet banks only recognize gold content, not gold coins. Damn, Lao Tzu's 10,000 gold coins can only be exchanged for more than 9,300 Keville gold coins, which is a big loss!"

"What's the loss, after the transaction, can't you just exchange it back to your home currency?"

"Hey, yes!"

"If you want me to say, just keep the money in the Internet bank, and there will be interest for convenience!"

"Yes, the main thing is convenience, these tens of thousands of gold coins are shipped back, I'm really afraid of being robbed by bandits!"

"That's right, if this is deposited in the bank, at most a batch of goods will be lost, and it will not be in vain. ”

"The key is interest, which is much more stable than herding lambs by yourself! I can find out that in the Keville Empire, from the nobles to the untouchables, almost all keep their money in the bank, and they don't even use currency transactions, they directly open the Internet for settlement. ”

"Alas, this interconnected bank pays back interest, what does it make money on?"

"You don't know that, do you? Isn't it the factory opened by Ajief, the founder of the bicycle and a follower of the god of the Internet, specializing in the production of bicycle production lines, and any production line is hundreds of thousands of millions of gold coins!"

"I'm more concerned about whether it's safe to keep money in an interconnected bank?"

"I think it's quite safe, the Internet bank is opened by the god of the Internet, he will covet gold coins? I heard that he even exchanges essentia!"

"Yes, the Keville Empire can even resist the attack of Santod, and if you abolish Spada, you won't be able to fall for a while. ”

"It's a pity, there are no outlets in our country, what should I do if I need this money in a hurry?"

"Yes, it would be nice if the Internet Bank opened branches in our kingdom. ”

Businessmen get together, or talk about bicycles, or talk about connected banking.

They don't know that the topic of their discussion has been secretly guided.

A communication chain with interests as the shield and the Internet bank as the spear is about to be rolled out!
