Chapter 836: Huge Wealth and Position
Gold! Shakespeare once described it in "Timon of Athens" -- gold! yellow, glowing, precious gold! No, gods, I am not an idle believer, I just want you to give me some roots! This thing, with a little bit, can turn the black into white, the ugly into beautiful, the wrong into right, the humble into noble, the old man into a young man, and the coward into a warrior.
A little bit of gold is still like this, if it is a mountain of gold placed in front of a person's eyes, even the six pure monks and saints will inevitably be tempted!
The empress of the ancient Assyrian Empire, Semiramis, never considered herself a saint, nor did she regard money as dung, as the queen of a country, although Semiramis did not hate simplicity but more often still liked luxury, when the mountain of gold, silver, precious stones and many unknown precious metals appeared in front of him, even Semiramis couldn't help but be tempted.
"It's as if the world's gold is concentrated here, even if the concubine has never collected so much wealth. β
Women love jewelry, whenever they see something shiny, a woman's personality will become more like a dragon in an instant, and she sincerely loves these golden, purple, and blue stones, and Semiramis seems to be out of the ordinary for this, but compared to another poor lady, Semiramis's expression is much better, at least not like Miss Tosaka Rin, who is directly rolling in the pile of gold coins.
Yalin looked at this hill-like treasure house, even though he had seen it many times, he was still sincerely amazed by the wealth of the White Dragon Clan, no wonder after the end of the Dragon War, there were still some people who knew the secret secret and quietly tried to return to the mountains of Arno despite the ban of the Dragon Alliance, probably for the sake of these treasures left behind, but none of these greedy guys could leave alive, and all of them became the trophies used to show the majesty of the Dragon King in the Hall of Ice Crystals.
"Ten tons of gold, is it okay to replace it with gold coins?" asked Arrin, who wanted to save the time of secondary smelting if he could.
"Of course~" Semiramis's tone became a little inexplicably gentle: "I have to say that this time it was really a surprise to the concubine, and you were able to collect so much wealth, and you were also very remarkable!"
Actually, I'd like to tell you that I got these treasures cheaply.
"Build the Hanging Garden, Semiramis, I don't care how much gold I use, I just need you to make your Noble Phantasm the most powerful!"
"I'm very confident~ But Yalin, do you trust the concubine so much? You must know that once the concubine's garden is established, even the spell will not be able to restrain the concubine, aren't you afraidββ"
"You won't~"
Yalin looked at the glamorous empress beside him: "It's not your nature to betray, just like Medea! Even the 'betrayal witch' will not betray for the sake of betrayal, whether it is betrayal, murder, or deception are all means to achieve obsession, and I will not give you a reason to betray." β
"Uh-huh~ It seems that you are also an interesting person, so let the concubine take a good look at you this time. β
The rest of the work was easy, and the summoned Minotaur and the Snow Elves began to select the materials to be used according to Semiramis's request, and it took a day to finally gather all the materials needed, including hundreds of chests of gold alone. These golden coins were hit and stacked on the platform of Ulduar City, even if not as shocking as the mountain-like gold mountains in the treasure house, but they were enough to dazzle the kryptonite eyes of a group of people.
"OhmyGod!Ten tons of gold~ I never knew you were so rich~ Yalin. β
Even if it is the famous Iron Man, Tony Stark, a billionaire in international large enterprises, although his eyelids twitched a little, but he was still calm: "Let me do the mathββ Now an ounce of gold is worth 1,880 US dollars, 10 tons is equal to 10,000,000 grams, 1 ounce is equal to 31.1035 grams, 1,000,000Γ· 31.1035Γ1880 = 604433584 US dollars." β
"$600 million isn't much, at most buying a Steel Patriot suit costs $10 billion compared to building a Mark V armor. Arin shrugged: "What's so surprising about this?"
On the periphery of the platform, Tony, who watched the minotaurs pour out boxes of gold coins and gold bricks, shook his head and said a little bitterly: "The important thing is not money but gold, Stark Enterprises has liquidity, but I have a lot of green paper and no place to buy so much gold, Brother Yalin, you should know that gold is a controlled product for the state, you can buy a little but if you want to buy 10 tons, it is estimated that tomorrow the FBI, CIA and the Department of Homeland Security will invite me to tea." β
"And S.H.I.E.L.D.~"
"Oh~ I almost forgot. β
Gold in the original world of Yalin is an important tool to measure the credit of a country's currency, gold also plays the same role in the other world, but relatively speaking, the weight of this role is slightly lighter, there are many precious metals in the other world can be used as a spear to stabilize the value of the currency, among which the magic crystal also occupies a place, but the consumption of the magic crystal itself is also very large, and more often it is gold-based.
"A lot of gold can make a country and build a strong financial system, but a lot of gold can destroy it all. Yalin played with a gold coin in his hand, although the gold coin was a little discolored under the baptism of time, but the gold coin printed with the dragon's head revealing an ancient atmosphere still exuded the atmosphere of wealth.
"It seems that your wealth is more than that, right? Arin dude~" Tony heard a hint of meaning.
Yalin smiled: "It's a lot, so much so that I suspect that if I take out all this wealth in one go, I'm afraid that the financial market of the entire continent will be chaotic." β
"Let Uncle Tony teach you here, build a bigger market for these treasures to circulate, money is called money if it can be used, and gold is the same, if you don't use it, it's just a pile of golden stones and worthless. β
"My dad told me this when I was in junior high school, not that I deliberately put this wealth in the treasury like a miser, but that I lacked a way to trade. β
Yalin is also very helpless about this, because the king of the white dragon has made too many enemies, and the geographical location of the Yanod Mountains is indeed terrible, although the forest resources and mineral resources here are extremely rich, but the surrounding environment allows except for the white dragon and the race protected by the white dragon to survive, it is estimated that it will not take long for other races to survive here It is estimated that it will not be long before the cruel nature itself will be brought to the end of extinction, and because of this reason, these riches have no channel for trading at all.
In the past, before the Dragon War, the White Dragon Clan could also trade with other clans and elves and dwarves, but now after the world pattern has completely changed, Ulduar City now only has the Saxon Kingdom, a passage to the outside world, and the tragedy is that the national strength of the Saxon Kingdom is not strong, and the special products produced are some forest specialties and ore specialties in addition to the long-haired cotton bell sheep, and these things are produced in Ulduar City.
Because the financial system is in the hands of the secular kingdom and the two major religious forces, Yalin does not dare to easily invest his huge wealth to cause market shocks, especially in this delicate era of peace, the two major religious forces are confronting each other and carefully maintaining a fragile peace, at least until one side has the power to completely overwhelm the other, and because of this, neither the Holy Capital nor the Holy See will tolerate the subtlety of the present' Peace's destruction of the situation, even if it is destruction, must be in their hands, and the arrival of a third party will not be welcomed by anyone.
Guarding a mountain of gold and starving is one of the most heartwarming things for Yalin, carefully through the Saxon Kingdom as a channel to trade with Klossed, but now it is almost the end, hundreds of thousands of slaves are not a small number, the Holy Capital and the Holy See are not fools, before the two sides are suspicious, the Kingdom of Saxony and Klossard made a statement that the cooperation has ended.
Large-scale human trafficking is over, but small-scale smuggling of alien peoples other than humans is still not stopped, and Ulduar City is still cooperating with the Kingdom of Saxony, but a small blood vessel can not satisfy the growing appetite of Ulduar City, especially when human slaves are formed and emancipated into free people, and Ulduar City begins to gradually get rid of the ration system and begin to form a normal market mechanism, Yalin originally hoped to use these astronomical wealth to make a big news, but now it seems that time has not given him a chance.
Things are ready, Semiramis began to chant, on the opposite side, although there was some conflict with it, but still according to Yalin's request to assist Semiramis, to the 'nothingness' into the 'real' twelve giant pillars began to take shape in turn, as Master1's Yalin's sufficient mana supply let' The Hanging Gardens were being built faster than expected, and the huge garden above the sky had begun to take on a deformed shape, like a huge floating fortress like a shadow over everyone's heads, and even Tony was a little distracted!
Although the S.H.I.E.L.D. aerospace aircraft carrier is magnificent, compared to this floating fortress like a palace of the gods, the seemingly mighty aerospace aircraft carrier full of science fiction atmosphere still lacks a mysterious beauty in front of it.
Miss Tosaka, who came to visit, was also looking at the air from afar, but she still looked at the pile of gold coins below from time to time, looking at the gold that gradually turned into powder and floated in the air under the effect of magic to become a part of the 'hanging garden', Miss Tosaka still showed a feeling of pain.
"Ten tons of gold! Such a fortune could have been used to raise supplies for my army to go on an expedition to all of Europe. β
Iskander, the King of Conquest, teased as he folded his hands in front of his chest, but his eyes never took his eyes off the huge garden that was constantly forming in the sky, and his eyes were blazing in the face of this majestic and powerful creature.
The construction of the whole position, even with the assistance of Medea, was reduced from three days and three nights to two days and one night, and it was not until the moment when the dawn rose the next day that the whole garden was finally completed, and Semiramis finally stopped chanting with a sigh of relief, and Yalin, who had been waiting, also showed a satisfied smile.
"Would you like to visit the concubine's palace?" said Semiramis with a smile. (To be continued.) )
