Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
But at this time, the calamity of the little monsters also came, and black gas rose from the volcano in the distance.
The black qi flew towards Wang Qinian, and the little monsters began to flee out of instinct, and they sensed the signal of danger.
Wang Qinian also sensed the danger, he mixed in with the little monsters and began to flee, but he still looked back from time to time, he wanted to know what was in the black gas.
The black qi flew closer and closer, and it turned out to be some other monsters covered in pitch black, they were as ugly as gargoyles, but they had a pair of black fleshy wings that were several times thicker than the small monsters, which was enough to support them to fly at a low altitude of about 100 meters.
The muscles and flesh of these monsters in the black qi were like carved from black rocks, but unlike the gargoyles, Wang Qinian was sure that they were still made of flesh, but they were unusually strong, because many of them looked like they had been injured, and the original near-perfect stone carvings had many broken shapes, flowing with black juice.
The monsters in the air swooped up like eagles, and they grabbed small monsters from the small monster group, flew into the air, and killed the little monsters.
Wang Qinian suddenly understood that the little monsters were food in the eyes of this gargoyle-like monster, and they were one of the sources of their becoming stronger.
A black monster that seemed to have not recovered from his injuries took a fancy to Wang Qinian, rushed down, reached out with both hands and grabbed Wang Qinian, and then flapped its wings and flew high.
The power of the little monster is difficult to compete with this kind of monster, and there are at least dozens of blood-red little monsters in the air who were caught in the air like Wang Qinian, and then torn apart and devoured, becoming part of the vitality of the black monster.
But this monster met Wang Qinian a little upside down, because he was injured, and Wang Qinian happened to be the most powerful one of the little monsters below, and the most important thing is that compared with the black monsters, although the little monsters also have strength, but their wits are not open, all the fights are similar to the instinct of beasts, and Wang Qinian still maintains his original sanity in this strange dream.
Wang Qinian fought with the black monster, and his bone fork was broken, but he also managed to bite one of the black monster's wounds.
He didn't care about the dirty sucking of the juice flowing from the black monster, the black monster wanted to tear him apart, but he didn't expect that Wang Qinian was far stronger than other little monsters, so he didn't succeed, so he could only wave his claws and tear Wang Qinian's flesh fiercely.
It was a battle for the life, and when the small flesh wings on Wu Qi Nian's back were gone, and even half of the flesh was torn off, the black monster finally showed its weakness.
He began to fall crookedly in the sky, and Wang Qinian sucked a large amount of juice from his wound.
In the distance, another black monster flew towards Wang Qinian, and just as they were about to fly closer, the black monster that had been fighting with Wang Qinian shrank rapidly, like a deflated ball, while another black monster was born.
Only the monster with only the skin bag fell downward, and two black monsters, one old and one new, confronted each other in the air.
Wang Qinian adapted to this newborn body, fluttering the thick and powerful wings behind his back, relying on these wings, he could fly freely for more than an hour at a maximum of one hundred and twenty meters in the air.
His body is no longer ugly and blood-red like a small monster, but the same as the black monster in front of him, in the shape of obsidian, but the essence is made of tough flesh, and the appearance is fluent, like a stone carving, very similar to the gargoyle created by magicians with alchemy, perhaps the former is the blueprint of the gargoyle.
Evolving into a black monster, Wang Qinian finally knew more information.
The initial state of hatching from the demon egg is cowardice, and the state of killing and absorbing the same kind to evolve into the blood-red little monster is the inferior demon, and the black monster that can fly low is the servant demon.
The servant demon is the lowest level of existence that is qualified to live near the volcano, and there are also demons, demons, demons, alchemists, and succubi.
Servant demons, messenger demons, and evil demons belong to medium-status races, and the difference in individual strength between several tribes is almost equivalent to the first-level difference of creatures on the biological pedigree, and the underworld demon has almost reached the level of sixth-level creatures, while the alchemist and succubus have the strength close to the seventh-level or above.
Above the alchemy and succubus, there are the commanders who are qualified to lead the first level of the big 6, and they each have their own names.
This is purgatory.
-----
It took almost twice as long as they came, and it took Wang Qinian and Old John to return to Free City, and alarmed the city lords Franklin and Chriss.
Because when Wang Qinian came back, his injuries still hadn't healed.
He was immediately placed in a special room in the inner city, where he was treated by a white magic magician in the underground base, and a healer and maid were arranged to serve him every day.
"How so?"
"I killed the Dark Merchant's slave supervisor stationed in Mordo. Wang Qinian did not hide it, and now he has climbed the big tree of the Free City, otherwise he can only choose to abandon the foundation he has established in the face of the dark merchant alone.
"That's a bit of a hassle. Franklin was slightly startled, all the strength in Duncan's hands, known as the Skeleton, was not under the Free City, but one was concentrated in the Free City, and the other was scattered among the countries, and what was more troublesome was that this guy had connections with some more powerful forces.
Franklin and Chris looked at each other and made a quick decision.
"Don't worry, you're now one of the Interior Ministers of Free City, and Duncan, the Dark Merchant, is a tough guy in other countries, but if it's in this place close to the wilderness, he doesn't have that much influence, and if he really doesn't mind competing with me, he can try. Franklin said in a deep voice.
Wang Qinian was much more relieved when he boarded, although the dark merchant was a ** annoyance, but since he was a businessman, he must consider the cost, and it was not worth it for him to fight hard with the city of freedom.
It seems that we have to make the Free City stronger, Wang Qinian thought silently.
"Okay, it's okay, congratulations on becoming a full-fledged mage, and I'll say you'll be able to do it. Bernhard laughed, "There was a bit of trouble with the Franklin Bank that was established last time, and Crisss and I are having a hard time, so you can rest first." ”
The three giants of the Free City were about to leave after appeasing Wang Qinian, but Wang Qinian suddenly stopped them.
"Wait, I'm fine, if you don't mind, you can discuss it in my ward, maybe I can come up with an idea, I'm one of the interior ministers, I'm qualified to participate in this kind of meeting, right?"
"Hahaha, of course it's qualified. Franklin laughed.
Then Wang Qinian knew what had happened to the bank in the month he left.
It was a good thing at first, and the merchants quickly accepted the bank and found it very convenient.
More and more merchants do not have to count the coins, but open accounts in the bank, and then after the business is negotiated, the bank transfers the money.
However, this created a new problem, and the funds deposited in the zài bank were getting bigger and bigger, and soon there was a monthly need to pay for the orc transactions.
However, the bank deposits were announced to pay interest, and Franklin was already worried about how to use the funds, and decided to expand the object and scope of the loan, that is, in addition to the Salomon Company, he would also borrow from other merchants to get interest income.
"That's the only way to do it, we have to pay interest on our deposits, we get more interest on our loans, and we can make a profit in between. Crissey said.
"Fortunately, we are in the Free City, otherwise the excessively high interest income will definitely be judged as usury by the Church of Light. Bernhard said.
The Church of Light strictly prohibits usury, but in cities large and small, this cannot be completely banned, and even at the risk of being purified by the Church of Light, usurers still have zài.
There is no Church of Light in the City of Freedom, so there is no need to worry about this at all, unless the Church of Light goes crazy and allows the Knights of the Cathar to come on an expedition.
The second problem, which is relatively new, is the fineness of the coins.
In fact, this problem has plagued the countries for many years, because there are at least hundreds of coins in circulation in the market, and if you add up all the coins used in history, there are several thousand, some have been withdrawn, and some are still in circulation.
This shows how confusing the coinage is, although the Franklin Bank has set the standard fineness of each country's coinage at the beginning of its establishment, and the royal coinage of each country is the standard, but there are still many coins that are not in good condition when they actually come to deposit.
Even the royal coinage was devised by greedy ghosts to wear out the coins from each other, recasting the fallen coins into gold bars or silver bars to become their extra property, and the worn coins were brought to the bank deposits, so that the appearance of the coins was not damaged at all, but the actual fineness was just as insufficient.
If the fineness is insufficient, the original value is ten, but the actual value of eight coins is deposited in the bank, and when the money is withdrawn later, the bank must pay the original value of ten coins to others, once there is more, the bank will lose a lot.
With these loopholes, banks now have to increase their manpower to identify them, but it is difficult to stop them, because only magicians can identify coins except for craftsmen or apprentices who have worked in minting or alchemy.
And with the increase in business volume, manpower is always unable to keep up.
"There should be a way to identify the color, maybe using the power of magic. Wang Qinian said.
"I think the same way, I'm preparing to create a special magic array that can analyze the composition of items, but I'm still far from succeeding. Chrissy said a little helplessly.
"Maybe your magic array doesn't need to be so troublesome, you only need to be able to identify the proportion of the specified metals in the overall proportion, and the other ingredients don't need to be directly analyzed, just classified as non-metallic ingredients, so that the magic array will definitely be much simpler. Wang Qinian said.
"Oh, that's right. I'm thinking about this magic circle from the perspective of magic, and from the perspective of magic research, I need to analyze all the components. But if it's just for the bank, as long as the metal is used, it's fine. After being reminded, Chrissy realized that he had thought too complicated before, "But even if this is the case, I'm afraid it won't be solved in the short term, and now we can only use guò to increase the number of people to try to identify." ”
Wang Qinian sighed, there are still too few magicians in Freedom City, and there is a special lack of general-purpose magicians who can cooperate with Chris, not to mention scholar-type mages, most of them are battle mages, and Chris's energy is too scattered.
If you can impress other mages with a certain reward, such as the mages of the Wizards' Guild, it will definitely be solved much faster.
Unfortunately, worldly wealth has limited influence on the mage class, not that they don't need gold, but they have a fair amount of opportunities to earn gold, unless the magical research itself attracts them, or a bounty with magic points in the mage's guild.
"There is also a need for a small mint and some corresponding institutions. Wang Qinian was half-lying on the bed, slightly propped up, "The currency of each country can continue to be enforced according to the royal coinage, but the relevant rules need to be supplemented." For example, when anyone wants to deposit coins with insufficient fineness, they must go through Chris's Coin Identification Magic Array, and anyone who is not in good condition can choose to sign a consent form and hand over all coins to the foundry to be re-minted into coins according to the identified fineness, otherwise the bank will not accept the deposit. As for currency wear, it can be rolled on the coin, and if the lace is worn before deposit, it can be re-identified before it can be deposited, and if the lace is naturally worn after deposit, it is the responsibility of the bank itself, and it must be delivered at the original value before deposit. ”
"Well said. Franklin nodded, "And one last big thing, now that there is more and more trade, and the matters that need to be adjudicated between merchants are becoming more and more complicated, and with the establishment of the Franklin Bank, I am going to amend the commercial law and add a special regulation on banks to it." Get better soon, and I'm looking forward to you making a bigger difference. ””
