Chapter 47: The Bank of the Goddess of Commerce
The next day, in the afternoon.
The scattered sunset sunlight scattered around the church through the thin cracks of the tall branches, making the original dilapidated church look a little sacred and serene.
Because yesterday he received an invitation to the banquet of the Border Earl of Dag Stale to attend the birthday party of the second lady of the Earl's Court, Kellius began to prepare in the morning. After all, in the two months that Kylelius has been here as a parish priest, he has hardly ever gone out, let alone to buy things.
Kyrlius had barely bought any daily necessities in the past few months, and the only change of clothes was the two sets of black Order priest's outfits that he had brought, not even other change of clothes, not to mention that Kylelius was going to attend a formal banquet hosted by an earl this time.
Even clergy of the Church of the Lord of Order must wear a formal dress and, at most, the emblem of the Church that represents the Church.
And this kind of dress for formal banquets needs to be ordered in a special clothing store, and Kellius went to order it himself this morning when the store just opened. Generally, this kind of custom-made things take a certain amount of time, but fortunately, the work efficiency of the one chosen by Kylelius is relatively fast, and it only takes half a day to complete it, without delay.
At the same time, Kylelius went to the aristocratic business district on this day to buy some gifts for the earl, the countess, and the rest of the count's family, and of course he would not forget the protagonist of the night, the second daughter of the count's family.
In order to prepare for the emergency, he purchased all kinds of noble ornaments and gifts, although these things were expensive and cost Kellius a lot of money. But these dozens of Ustan gold coins, Kyrlius still didn't pay attention to them.
Ustan coin is a precious metal currency, which is independently issued by the Kingdom of Ustan and circulates in the territory of the Kingdom of Ustan and several small principalities around it, and is the main currency of the Kingdom of Ustan .
The currency is divided into two kinds of gold coins and silver coins, one Ustan gold coin is exchanged for one hundred Ustan silver coins, and the normal cost of ordinary citizens living in Banji for a family of four is about ten silver coins a month. Of course, in order to facilitate the circulation of small denominations in people's daily life, there are two kinds of silver coins on the basis of silver coins, large silver coins and small silver coins, and the exchange ratio is ten to one.
Even if this mission is not counted, the expenses paid by the church for the activities are only the personal assets of Kellius, and these dozens of Ustan gold coins are simply insignificant.
You must know that if you want to become a high-level magician, money is a necessary condition, and for a magician who can perform sixth-level magic, money is also not a difficult thing to obtain.
And the gifts given to the Count add up to only a few dozen Ustan gold coins, which is already very cheap, and if it weren't for the fact that Kerlius also had the status of a clergyman, this kind of gift would be embarrassed to show his hand.
In fact, Kyrlius didn't know what gifts to give, and Paris, the only one who could ask, couldn't give any effective advice, and Paris's wealth and status were not high in the Angolan Special Administrative Region.
So Kylelius had to buy something casually that didn't look bad, anyway, if the situation changed, Kylelius still had magic scrolls and potions such killer features, nothing more precious than these things that could be signed up at critical moments.
The main reason is that there are only a handful of banquets that Kyrlius has attended before, and there is nothing to refer to at all.
In order to protect him from indulging in a lavish and depraved life, Bishop Julian forbade Kellius to participate in too many banquet salons, except for some necessary academic and religious banquets.
Although Kyrlius also attended some banquets because he was a student of the bishop of Julian, they were all banquets held by clergy and magicians.
It is important to know that the banquets held and attended mainly by the strict clergy and magicians who are obsessed with the study of magic are completely different from the salons and drinks held by the aristocratic and wealthy merchants who pursue luxury.
The former mainly discusses the study of magic and religious scriptures, and the whole banquet process will be dull and serious, while the latter is mainly about enjoyment and showing off, and the banquet process will be very relaxed, lively and luxurious, which is a special stage to show strength and wealth.
These luxury gifts took Kylelius an entire morning, with Paris next to her to help pick them out.
In fact, this is the main reason why it takes so long, no matter when and where, shopping for all women is a time-consuming and energy-consuming thing, even vampires.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that Kylelius and Paris finally returned to the church with a satisfied look on their faces, followed by a carriage full of various things.
Snacks, food, clothes, hats, shoes, underwear, necklaces, earrings, luxury goods, red wine and other magic materials and weapons filled a whole horse-drawn cart, which is a professional delivery carriage in the commercial area, in order to cope with this situation where there are too many one-time purchases to carry.
Most of the things in this car were bought back by Paris, and Kylelius only bought some dresses, gifts, and magic materials, and spent a total of thousands of Ustan gold coins, most of which were spent on magic materials.
As an adventurer's paradise in Banki Town, there are still some high-end materials produced in the surrounding forests, and Kylelius bought some by the way this time, after all, the inventory brought from the capital this time has also been consumed a lot, and some reserves need to be added.
On the way, Kellius also went to the bank of Winternimon, which was opened by the Lady of Commerce' in Banky, and withdrew a sum of money, which he exchanged for Ustan gold coins, and then he could pay the long bill.

This shijie has a bank, and there are various banks, large and small, scattered, and their sources of capital, management methods, business philosophy and service objects are different.
There are central banks that are financed by the government and run by the government, which are used to issue money, adjust interest rates, make loans to the aristocracy or government enterprises, and control and manage the commercial banks, which are not open to the common people, but only manage the state finances.
Some of them are banks established with the capital of big aristocrats and big businessmen and managed by professionals, which are generally used to absorb savings from ordinary people, open them to the people, issue loans to banks, and use the absorbed funds to invest or lend, and in general, they are commercial banks with the main purpose of absorbing capital.
There are also banks funded by large professional organizations or churches, which are generally only open to members of the organization or within the church, and have established windows in the branches of each organization and church to facilitate the use of funds by its members and organizations.
Originally, Kyrlius should have gone to the 'Santa Mattesa' bank set up by the Church of the Lord of Order to withdraw money, after all, the funds for the activities were stored there.
But Kylelius went to get his own personal money this time, after all, these things purchased this time can't be counted as serving the mission, so they can't be counted in the 'activity funds'. The Lord of Order is extremely disgusted by the misappropriation and misappropriation of funds from activities, which is considered a violation of the management order.
Most of Kyrlius' private funds were kept in the 'Winternimon' bank.
As a permanently neutral and kind goddess of business, most of her activities in the human world are neutral, and her bank is also based on the concept and principle of neutrality and equality, all intelligent beings can conduct any business activities here, and almost everyone is very relieved of this bank.
At the same time, because of the abundant financial resources and the huge network of relationships that even the goddess of fate can't figure out, no shili dares to easily offend the goddess of business, her church and the bank.
Because there are the wealth and interests of most shili and powerful people in the continent and even in many planes, and even many central banks, commercial banks, and even many church banks and organizational banks on the continent are absolutely or proportionately held by the 'Winternimon' Bank.
'Winternimon' is worthy of her priesthood as the goddess of commerce. Winternimon said that wherever there is money, it is where His divine grace is shrouded
