Chapter 85 The Temple of Wealth
"In the name of the lightless dark moon, may gold never fade." Shuer drew a circle with his hand and took the bag of gold coins handed to him from the other side.

"In the name of money and wealth, may you be rich and wealthy." Standing opposite Shuuer was a middle-aged man wearing a silver holy robe with a gold coin-shaped holy emblem hanging on his chest.With a flick of his fingers, he skillfully put the two copper coins on the table into the counter. The middle-aged man showed a professional smile and said, "Happy transaction, Priest Shuer, the Temple of Wealth looks forward to your visit again."

There is no doubt that this is the branch of the Temple of Wealth in the Pantheon, and it is also one of the hubs that supports the operation of the Pantheon's financial system.

The financial system of Parvatiga is very interesting and has the characteristics of Parvatiga.

Before the establishment of the Temple of Gods, Parvatiga did not have a complete financial system. Each country and major forces often had their own financial systems. Each place had its own currency, which was not common to each other. Some forces Internally, it is still at the stage of barter, with no chance to use currency at all.

This has brought great inconvenience to the previous exchanges between races and countries. In the chaotic era, it did not have much impact. However, when the temples were established, Parvatiga entered the peaceful era, and the exchanges between various countries and races gradually increased, this The inconvenience became more and more obvious.

Although countries are trying their best to solve it, for example, after years of negotiations, they have unified the size and weight of currencies, and also unified the metal content in various coins, but even so, it is difficult to solve the fundamental problem.

The fundamental problem is that without an effective constraint on each other, there is no trust at all.In order to take advantage, some countries lower the purity of gold coins and replace them with other metals. Some countries slightly reduce the thickness of gold coins. Anyway, if the quantity is small, it will not be noticeable.

This is true among countries, let alone individuals.In the first few years, the phenomenon of privately minting gold coins became common, and the quality varied, which directly caused widespread financial chaos, so that everyone regressed to the stage of directly using gold and silver for transactions, and it was difficult for gold and silver coins to circulate in the market.

In this case, the Temple of Wealth stands out.

The Goddess of Wealth is originally a deity with many believers. Not only does the number of believers rank at least in the top five among the deities, but it is also the only church in Parvatiga that is officially accepted by all forces. It can be said that as long as there is business, , there are temples and believers of the goddess of wealth.

Through its influence among the major forces, the Temple of Wealth has taken over the power of unified minting. Every year, it is entrusted by various countries to mint a batch of various currencies.Since the coins are blessed by the gods, the possibility of counterfeiting is eliminated. Coupled with the deterrent power of the goddess of wealth, people within the temple do not dare to seek personal gain with power. The unified currency issue that has troubled Parvatija for many years is actually that simple. was solved.

From then on, the Temple of Wealth became the financial center of Parvatiga, and even gradually developed the function of a bank. As long as you have a deposit in the Temple of Wealth, with the certificate issued by them, you can withdraw money from any Temple of Wealth in the world. , only need to pay a low handling fee.With this point, Parvatiga's business has made a huge leap, which has greatly promoted the stability of the era of pantheons. Of course, with this point, the followers of the Goddess of Wealth have also doubled, and their number has directly jumped to the top. Top three.

More than 1000 years have passed, and everyone is familiar with this kind of life. It is hard to imagine what life would be like without the Temple of Wealth.In the church system, the seemingly thankless move of the Temple of Fortune taking over the right to mint money has also become a classic case of peaceful competition for faith, and is praised among the clergy.

A secular city is inseparable from the Temple of Wealth, and even more so from the Temple of Wealth.At least one-third of all commercial activities in the temples are in the hands of the Temple of Wealth. If you just want to survive in the temples, it does not mean that you can't leave the Temple of Wealth, but if you want to live a normal life, you cannot avoid it. their existence.

Of course Shuer is no exception. To be precise, he has many more opportunities to interact with the Temple of Wealth than normal people.

Whether you are a mercenary or a shadow chaser, you need to travel around the world, and there are often large amounts of gold coins coming in and out. No one would carry thousands or tens of thousands of gold coins deep into dangerous places. It is too stupid to do so. , but all kinds of combat materials are extremely expensive. A large-scale supply can easily consume hundreds or thousands of gold coins. Without the Temple of Wealth, these mercenaries may not be able to cry.

However, today Xiu Er didn't come to deposit and withdraw money. His purpose of coming was to exchange gold coins.

With three beautiful ladies, he threw two large copper coins at the exchange counter, which ordinary people rarely had the opportunity to see, and exchanged them for two small bags of one hundred gold coins each. When he shook the money bag, the gold coins clinked. The sound is like the most beautiful piece of music, which makes people irresistibly intoxicated.

"Hehehe, Xiure is sick again." Hiding behind Moria and out of everyone's sight, Saff leaned close to Xiaolu's ear. The two women were chattering, and they didn't know what they were whispering.

However, the priest, who was enjoying himself with his money bag and the sound of gold coins, would definitely not be the same as them.

"Brother, stop making trouble, it's too embarrassing." Lisa covered her face and couldn't bear to look directly, "Where can so many gold coins be used?"

The girl did not ask why Xiuer suddenly became so rich. In fact, she knew very well that Xiuer often had thousands of gold coins in his private account at the Temple of Wealth. Now it was only two hundred gold coins, not even fractions. Not really, she was just curious about the use of gold coins.

"In order to deal with a group of blood-sucking demons." Shuer sighed and looked at the money bag in his hand with regret. "Soon they won't belong to me. If I don't listen more now, I won't have a chance in the future. Speaking of which, , Lisa must be going there for the first time, so is your first time, Xiaolu, right?"

"Eh? Why do you ask that?" Moria's eyes were covered with mist and she said sadly, "My first time was clearly given to you, but you actually asked me if it was my first time." "Um?"

"Ok?"

Lisa and Saff showed an unprecedented tacit understanding. Although they continued to look around as if they hadn't heard anything, their ears were already perked up, lest they missed any words.

"Alas." Sighing feebly, Xiuer rubbed his forehead in distress and said, "If you are talking about the first time we talked about the mission, you definitely didn't give it to me the first time. You gave it to Mia. If it was the first time, Zhuying, I’m sorry, you still gave Mia, or in other words, you gave us several at the same time.”

"Hey, hey, is that so?" When it's time to act stupid, you must pretend to be stupid. Moria held up a handful of weeds on the roadside and sent it to Safu, "Come on, Sasa, I'll treat you to some grass."

"I don't want it." She pushed the deer's paw away angrily, and Saff secretly glanced at Lisa, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. Well, it's okay, at least she hasn't lost yet.

"Okay, okay, it's not the first time I've been to that kind of place." Finding that she couldn't get through, Moria pursed her lips and said, "Although in the past two years, you have been the one to negotiate for Zhuying, but Once I was curious and sneaked in myself, but not here, but over there in McCann Forest."

"The voucher... forget it, the voucher over there can't be used here anyway. It doesn't matter, they probably don't dare to stop it." Shuer pondered for a moment and said nonchalantly, "Since you have been in there, Xiaolu, it's mainly Lisa. There are a few things you should pay attention to."

"Yes." The girl responded loudly and expectantly, "I promise not to forget a word."

"The first thing is don't look around casually, especially people. No matter how curious you are, don't stare at them." Shuer seriously warned, "Shadow chasers often don't have very good tempers. The surviving veterans The strength is good, and I don’t want you to encounter any danger just because I want to take you there to see it.”

"Well, I don't look at anyone, I just stare at my brother."

"Well, that's not necessary." Xiure laughed and shook his head, "Secondly, don't talk too much. Even if you see someone you know, treat it as if you don't recognize it. Don't take the initiative to say hello. Although Shadow Chaser is not a shameful person, profession, but many people have other identities and don’t want too many people to know that they are shadow chasers.”

"Okay, I'll pretend to be mute, but...why do they have to hide it?"

"Because of the trouble, if too many people know about it, there will be a lot of trouble." Shuer sighed, "Take me for example. If everyone knows my identity, suddenly one day, Marquis Ruben comes to me and says he has a friend. No matter if you are a junior or a warrior, you want to follow me and experience projections in other worlds. Do you think I will agree or not?"

"Well, I see."

"Actually, the second point is not that strict. The main reason is that there are not only shadow chasers, but also many middlemen, hoping to purchase the trophies directly from us. The identities of these middlemen often really need to be kept secret. But you don't Understand the situation, you don’t know who you can communicate with, and who you have to pretend not to know, so just don’t take the initiative to speak. Of course, if someone you know takes the initiative to say hello to you, then it doesn’t matter.”

"You guys are so mysterious here." Lisa understood very well, but Moria pretended to be surprised and said, "McCarrin is very casual."

"That's because you are also a member of the Shadow Chasers, so of course you don't have so many worries."

"Eh? Really?" Moria said blankly, "I thought you were too nervous for fear that Lisa would be wronged."

"Cough, cough, cough." Completely ignoring the embarrassing question, Xiu Er forcefully said, "Lisa, do you remember?"

"Hehe." As expected, my brother still likes me the most. The girl smiled sweetly with a bit of pride.
