After a severe defeat, all actions against Lin and the elves were slowed down. Of course, this does not mean that you will stop completely, and you will be 100% cooperative with what the elves are going to do. It is just a downgrade from the original armed conflict to a non-cooperative attitude.

Originally, I thought that the advantages of the bank should make the nobles flock to it, and they came to the door one by one to kneel and lick it. But in practice, Lin once again remembered how low the lower limit of human behavior was.

Yes, all the nobles wanted to have a bank built on their territory as soon as possible, or at least they could use the bank's function as soon as possible to minimize the loss of their property.

But they are nobles after all, a group of people, how can some trivial chores be done by themselves. If everything is done by itself, then what is the purpose of raising so many people? So the matter will be handed over to the subordinates.

Herein lies the problem! There are two ways to win a race. One is to be faster than everyone else, and the other is to make everyone else slower than you.

Since the priority of the speed and slowness of building the bank was handed over to the empress by a certain magician, the nobles really had no room to reach out. However, they can bribe other noble subordinates who have been given priority services to the elves, slowing down the progress of the bank.

To put it simply, I can't outrun you, but I can pull you back.

This behavior is even more pronounced in some trading towns where several nobles are co-governed. Because of the large number of people in management and the complexity of the staff, more opportunities can be found for those who want to pull back.

There are also many reasons, such as the original demarcated bank construction site is not good, and it is necessary to choose another location. The number of emblems that provided the services of the goddess of gold coins was insufficient, and it was retained, and too few privileged rooms were set up for the use of nobles. There are also the bank uniforms worn by the elves that are too ugly, so consider the local style. What percentage of the bank uses local manpower, and what percentage of non-human Homo sapiens species.

All of this, listed out, even Lin felt breathtaking. I feel like I'm back in my hometown and I've met someone with a black background who is looking for a job. Anyway, the other party doesn't eat soft and hard, just to find trouble, which is not at all like the actions of the fans.

The people who have been in contact with Lam have been dealing with the problem is very simple, that is, to cooperate and not to cooperate. Once the attitude of the general direction is decided, then when they encounter the problem of details, they will follow the set general direction to deal with these details. Fight your way through the thorns until it's done.

But the group of people I meet now are, although they seem to be willing to cooperate, but if they encounter the slightest problem, they will turn everything upside down and start over. I am entangled in small problems again and again, and if I let someone who is more acute come, I will be rectified to a nervous breakdown.

Fortunately, the elves who followed Lin were all old fritters. In the face of this clumsy trick, their attitude is calm. In addition, in all the process, the problem of traffic movement is left to the local lord, rather than relying on the advantages of flashing to shorten the time wasted on transportation. Anyway, as the old saying goes, the goddess of gold coins is not in a hurry.

The use of flashing techniques will be abandoned, in addition to being clumsy, because the performance of the bank's site selection requires the assistance of the lord's side. These people didn't have the protection of the Elven Robes, and the World Tree didn't want to bother with them. So instead of the elves flashing to their destination first and then waiting for the local lord to send someone to join them, it is better to act together from the beginning and save the effort of contact.

Perhaps this will prolong the time and increase the chance of uncontrollable factors coming to the fore. But at this stage, the bank of the gold coin goddess is a rolling trend, and there is no way to stop it. It should be anxious, it has never been Her Majesty the Goddess of Gold Coins.

As for a lazy human, after showing some of his strength, which in the eyes of outsiders is already ,—— of full strength, no one will go to this only human for the behavior promoted by the bank.

The nobles would rather wait for the sixteen elves to have free time than go to the human who had been idle. The reason is also very considerate, since the magician is the chosen person of the goddess, he naturally has his cards, and everyone does not need to trouble him with some trivial matters. That Chosen One should be on a higher position and in control.

However, this does not mean that someone can be lazy every day, wait for the elf subordinates below to report, and then go to the Emerald Palace to sleep at night. At least the bank work in the territory directly under the empress fell to Lin's head. And since he promised to help, of course, Lin can't just eat and sleep all day, he has to do some serious things.

In Lin's previous judgment, the imaginary master, that is, the intelligence chief of Alegria, finally appeared. It's no wonder that the other party is well hidden by the empress, not only because he doesn't have a noble title, but more importantly, no one will put a goblin in their eyes.

If he is clearly put on the table, it may lower the empress's evaluation in the eyes of outsiders, and it will also bring trouble to the goblins. So as soon as the two parties discussed, the goblin agreed to become the man hidden behind the empress.

Another reason is that this goblin named Luca is actually a liaison between the empress and the imperial goblin group, and does not have full authority to represent the goblins. To be able to be a direct face-to-face liaison with the Emperor, Lukka has the ability to do so.

However, considering the jealousy of the goblin group, Lukka didn't want to get too much benefit and become a target for his own people. So when he usually does things, he is low-key and low-key. From this point of view, this little guy does have wisdom beyond goblins.

As a multi-ethnic united nation, there are certainly goblins within the Karlsruhe Empire, both civilized and uncivilized. And because of the various problems in the personality of the goblins, as well as the influence of their uncivilized close relatives, the treatment of goblins in the empire is certainly not much better, and the work they can do is also some lowly trades.

Moreover, for a kingdom that advocates force and allows itself to rely on strength in everything, it is not surprising that the skinny goblins have become the weakest in the empire. Such a disadvantaged group, when they meet a weak emperor, the two sides look at each other, and they unite like this.

Goblins may be vulnerable, but they can play a much greater role than they think. Because of their sheer numbers, goblins can be found in almost every city and village in the empire. Because they do the most menial work, and they can be easily killed, no one is wary of these goblins. The combination of these two factors makes the goblin a very good member of the intelligence network.

Moreover, in the history of the Goblin, it was a Homo sapiens race that had established an empire, so there was no doubt about its intelligence. So even though these goblins are not in a good position in the Karlsruhe Empire, they still have a cultural heritage and have been preserved.

One of the most important is the goblin script, which is rarely seen by outsiders. And these seemingly graffiti-like words have become an important medium for goblins to isolate themselves from the forum and to transmit information. Lukka synthesized the information transmitted from all over the country, sorted it out, and handed it over to the empress.

Perhaps the content of the work of the goblins everywhere doomed them to no matter how confidential information they were. But Luca's intelligence analysis ability has reached the level of knowing the subtleties, and as long as there are some signs of something, he can find the factors behind it. Then cross-compare with the information from other sources to obtain information with a very high degree of credibility and authenticity.

These are also one of the main reasons why Alegria was able to maintain itself from control under the oppression of many nobles.

Lin would meet with Luca because the elves didn't travel for nothing.

Where should the bank be located? It's not a matter of mood. On the earth, no matter which country it is, banks have their own commercial nature, and the location of the setting should naturally take into account the local demand. A small mountain village with less than 100 people cannot set up a palatial bank hall; In a financial powerhouse like Wall Street in New York, it is impossible to throw an ATM. The two are, of course, reversed.

In the maze, perhaps the banks under the gold coin goddess are not so business-oriented. However, in the early stage of construction, considering the limited manpower, the focus of the arrangement will be given to towns with large populations.

In addition to population considerations, if the industry is used as the reference target, then the bank will be placed in the vicinity of the gold, silver and copper mines, and the pure farm will be the last consideration. will choose this way, of course, because the gold, silver and copper ore can be directly turned into equivalent Coin coins with the help of the divine power of the goddess of gold coins; And there is no place for agricultural products where the goddess can help.

There are not many lords who own gold, silver, and copper mines. Usually they were big aristocrats, and they were able to live a fairly wealthy life by relying on these three types of mines. Such people are also more sensitive to money than other aristocrats who work in the fields, so they are especially active in attracting banks to settle in their territory as soon as possible, even near the mines.

Because there are three kinds of mines, in addition to the use of making equipment, the biggest project is to make money. Regardless of whether the lord who owned the mine received permission to mint the mine from the Emperor, or they sold the ore to the Emperor for the official body of the empire to mint, they had to pay an additional amount of money for coinage in addition to the taxes they would pay to own the mine.

Who wouldn't be happy if the ore in their hands could be turned directly into circulating coins, and they were not limited to coinage technology, let alone the emperor?

So the noble lords who own this type of mine, of course, are very active in seeking cooperation with the goddess of gold coins, within their territory, and even near the construction bank of the mine. And if you want to find a goddess to cooperate, you have to find those elves.

Therefore, by taking advantage of the convenience of inspecting the location of the bank, the elves have the opportunity to touch the population and mineral situation of each region. Even from the living conditions of the local people, the attention to the houses and utensils, the degree of affluence can be inferred.

It's just the content of the elf's comments, which needs to be translated to a certain extent. For example, they describe the taste of the inhabitants of one place as a turtle, another place as a better than a turtle, and another place may be a turtle that cannot bear to look at it. The best comment is 'a little bit of a look'.

From the internal documents written in these elven characters, Lin once again confirmed the black nature of the belly of these white-skinned pointed ears.

In short, with the information obtained by the elves inspecting various places, there is no reason why Lin should not combine it with what the empress has in his hands. It's just that he is not obliged to hand it over for nothing, and the same is true for Luka, the goblin. That's when the two sides met to discuss cooperation.
