A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

335. New friends

There is a voyage of more than 200 kilometers from Denggang City to the Land of Joy. Civilian flights take about three hours. This speed is not much faster than urban trains, but it is still better than cross-airspace ships, and at the same time, it does not need to be like a train. Stop by the station.

The reason why the ship across the airspace is slower is that the mysterious characteristics of the foggy world flow in layers. This flow makes each region show a very different environment. Every time a layer of flow is crossed, passengers need a period of time to adapt to the abnormal reactions it brings. If you frequently cross the stratosphere, the human body is prone to pollution with mysterious properties.

Even though she is a frequent visitor to nightclubs, Lily still wants to give money. Unfortunately, money is tight recently. Salsa has blocked her monthly expenses. In order to get some pocket money, she met Cloris by chance when she was driving north to the Explorers' Guild yesterday. .

Lily's food, drink, and entertainment accounted for 90.00% of her monthly expenses, especially the "play" item. Nightclub expenses alone cost three to four hundred stars per month.This is the case when her little white cat sister is stuck with most of the guild's entrusted income, otherwise Lily will wipe out the family property every minute, and the serious uneven expenses will make her great extraordinary talent stuck in the current position.

Getting close to Cloris meant looking for a temporary meal ticket to pick up the chick by the way.She originally thought that Cloris was just a rich young lady from a rich family, but now it seemed that was obviously not the case. Even the nuns of the Church of the Sun respectfully called her "principal".

Before that, Lily only knew about the existence of the Church of the Sun from books. This kind of religion in the upper realm had nothing to do with the Sea of ​​Floating Stars, but now it appeared in the deep realm.

Sitting in the lobby of the hotel, Lily chewed the newly popular "Anti-Radiation Ning" lozenges on the market. She didn't really need this kind of thing, but she just thought it tasted good.

The radiation pollution in the Sea of ​​Floating Stars is much lower than in other regions of the Deep Realm, but when extraordinary people use their power, there will always be a loss of underutilized source power, unless they are very proficient in mastering mysterious characteristics, or there are people like Cloris and Naina Otherwise, it will often leave traces and affect ordinary people more or less.

In addition, even though Gulingting has the spectacle of self-purifying pollution, the industrial city of Lien Plain still poses a health threat to nearby citizens. In the face of these threats, Transcendents seem insignificant.

Unless one day all ordinary people evolve a spiritual vein that can filter the source power, "Anti-radiation Ning" will be a hard currency everywhere. However, excessive consumption of anti-radiation Ning may also lead to organ failure and the possibility of various diseases .

Not long after, Lily saw Cloris leading a cheerful and beautiful fox-eared half-orc out of the elevator.The girl and the fox orc were wearing the same style of white shirt and black overalls, and were carrying a handbag with the zipper closed. A handsome puppet stuck its head out from the chain.

"Good afternoon." Cloris waved her hand casually.

Bai Hu's eyes widened, and he recalled all the information in his mind sharply yesterday, before blurting out, "Is this your ex-girlfriend?"

Cloris' expression froze, and Naina poked her head from behind and asked, "What ex-girlfriend?"

"Huh?" Lily was a little confused.

Not ex-girlfriend?After parting with her yesterday, the girl can't quickly find her other half, right?How is this possible?

Or is the pure little white lotus Cloris actually a sea king?

"This is my friend, Lily," Cloris said, looking into the white tiger's eyes, "you can call her—"

The girl suddenly paused and looked at Naina.

The latter immediately understood and said, "Kona."

Cloris said again: "Kona is my companion and bodyguard, not what you think."

"What?" Naina pricked up her ears curiously, "Have you ever had an ex-girlfriend, Cloris?"

The girl retorted without thinking: "That's not the case, it's just that there were some unpleasant intersections."

Lily knows Cloris is lying.If they were really inseparable companions, how could they show a vague sense of alienation, and if they were guards, why was the girl alone yesterday?Lily was certain that this was the wild fox that Cloris had found somewhere to accompany her. Judging from the girl's rebuttal, she definitely wanted to use Cora to mend her emotional wounds.

Lily didn't want to expose it, after all, she was the one who made the most money traveling with the two beauties.

"So... does Cloris like girls?" Naina expressed strong curiosity.

"..." Cloris was silent for a while, then said, "I can still tell the difference between a girlfriend and a friend."

Naina patted her on the shoulder heartily and said, "Don't care about my opinion, we are friends after all!"

This move once again showed Baihu that Cloris and Naina were not particularly familiar with each other.

"Where are you going today?" Lily asked, "You guys are new here, do you want to familiarize yourself with the environment of Light Harbor City first?"

"I want to go shopping first, Naina needs some new clothes for a change of clothes, the movie is also good, um..."

"Do you want to listen to opera, Phalucines? I bought his records. His voice is better than women's. Of course, it's just the voice. I'm not interested in anything else..." Lily said, "I wanted to bring a female companion, but ...Well, I've been nervous recently."

"Can you book tickets now?"

"As long as I have money, I can find a way!" Lily promised, hammering her chest with her fist.

"Where's Kona?" Cloris looked to her side.

The latter stayed half a meter away from the white tiger calmly. Even though the two in front of them had the fun of twin sisters and sisters, but compared to Lily, whose eyes were full of oppression and aggression, Naina still felt that Cloris Safe and reliable.

"Hmm..." Naina thought for a while and said, "You decide."

"How much is the ticket for the evening?"

"It's not expensive, ten knives apiece."

Ten star dollars!

Cloris almost choked on Lily's natural gesture.

According to the current exchange rate, one star dollar can be exchanged for about two and a half Aegis and [-] Thai pounds. Floating Star Sea has abundant supplies, and the level of agriculture and animal husbandry is more developed than Zuixiang. [-]% of the resources are used to supply Gu Lingting. Here, one star can buy [-] catties of beef, or [-] catties of flour, or a week’s rent for a small apartment near the Explorers’ Guild, or a decent set of men’s casual clothes, or a pair of branded high heels...

But think about it, Lily's rank is not low, and she is a golden-level explorer. Although Cloris doesn't know how much annual income this means in the exploration industry, she must have three to five thousand, otherwise even You can't even afford the extraordinary materials to improve yourself.

Cloris nodded. She remembered that Arista had left an unregistered bank card for herself, which could be cashed in Explorer Bank.

"Then let's go," Cloris said, "go to the bank to withdraw money first."

336. The Road to Heaven

This bearer bank card has a high degree of confidentiality and can only be cashed by the regional head office of Explorer Bank.

Arista originally wanted Cloris to go down to the Banquet Island in the mist layer, but unfortunately the girl was blown away by the shock wave of the Sun God's Edict, and because of the characteristics of the mist, she traveled to an extremely remote deserted island.

Cloris was very lucky. Many ordinary people or weak superhumans who were transported by the fog often ran into dangerous environments in the process, or were smashed to pieces, or changed beyond recognition due to mysterious pollution, or turned into monsters and monsters. plate of Chinese food.

In short, she survived without any danger, and now this bank card is finally useful.

The Explorer Bank has a history as long as the guild. In the early years, it was a subsidiary of the Explorers Guild. With the development of the times, the Explorer Bank became larger and larger, and then it was split from the guild under the oracle.

This oracle appeared before the disaster of the void, more than two hundred years ago, and it is also one of the last oracles left by the deep space sages.

The decoration of the Explorer Bank is not even as luxurious as some banks in the city that never sleeps, but the number of customers is definitely second to none in the entire Gringing Court. In addition to the main deposit and loan business and insurance for explorers, the bank's services also include most civilians.

The cool-toned turquoise stone walls are painted with heroes among the explorers of the past dynasties, and the bas-reliefs on the ceiling show the majestic and majestic natural landscape. The ancient marble columns are engraved with names, some of which are densely packed, and some are left blank. , followed by the date and notable exploits of the character.

"Hello," each counter is an independent small room. Cloris walked in and said to the teller, "I want to withdraw the funds from this bank card."

The teller was a half-orc lady with orange cat ears. She took the bank card handed over by Cloris and found that it was a style she had never seen before.

"Are you sure you didn't go to the wrong bank?" Fox, the teller, asked.

"Isn't it written in Angnar's words, 'Explorer Bank Bearer Debit Card'." Cloris patiently explained, "It may be old, why don't you check it carefully?"

The teller lady was still in charge, she nodded and went to the background to consult with the manager. After a while, the cat came out, took an old device that seemed to be able to swipe cards, and said, "It's all right now, you still have a balance of 460 on your card." [-] pounds and twelve shillings, how much cash do you need to withdraw?"

"So much money!?" Cloris was surprised.

This is equivalent to nearly [-] Aegis. At the beginning, each child in the Far Yar Penitentiary for the Poor was given seven and a half pence a week. Calculated in this way, they could receive [-] pounds a year. However, Alista only needs half of the expenses to support the child, that is to say, this huge sum of money can maintain the affluent life of the poor reformatory for decades!

Hello Arista!It doesn't count that I ate chaff and drank water in the reformatory for the poor, but you secretly withheld so much money!

"Hmm..." The teller lady checked the amount change of this card through the device.

The sages of deep space hold a part of the authority of the dreamland, and the Church of the Stars also has territory in the dreamland, so this instrument and the bank card are also connected through the private dreamland channel, and the flow of funds is recorded.

But Cloris's card has been around for a long time, and the bank's new card scanner is difficult to verify the authenticity, so just now the teller lady went to the warehouse to fetch the old alchemy creation decades ago under the instructions of the bank manager.

The teller lady explained: "Your card was processed 59 years ago, and 320 pounds were deposited on it for a ten-year term. Since no one has withdrawn or transferred the deposit, it will be automatically renewed every ten years."

For this kind of anonymous bank card, whether it is stolen, robbed, or picked up, the explorer bank will not care about the reason. Many explorers will die on the way of exploration, and the wealth they carry with them will become The harvest of latecomers.

As for regular...

There are still many long-lived species in this world that can live for hundreds of years. Let alone deposit for ten years, even if the deposit is for 50 years, Explorer Bank will accept it.

"59 years ago..."

Cloris suddenly remembered the catastrophe that occurred in the Holy Manro Empire 60 years ago in the records of the Church of the Sun—the massacre in the parish of Kenwell.

Slaughterhouse Lily used the power of corruption to become one of the top ten most wanted criminals in the empire in one fell swoop from an unknown maid.

Perhaps at that time Alista was still on the run and wandering for a long time, while suppressing corruption and introducing the power of hell to check and balance, she deposited the only 320 pounds in the explorer bank, perhaps for an urgent use someday in the future.

But after crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, it has been useless.

Or, Arista had long forgotten about this, and only remembered it when she finally explained to Cloris.And when she took over the penitentiary for the poor, she couldn't escape for a moment, and spent weeks or even months traveling to the remote explorer's bank just to withdraw the cash she didn't need.

Well, although she can support a hundred or so children without this money, Cloris still has some regrets.

"Take a thousand," said Cloris.

"I can transfer the money in your card to the new card, so that it will be much smoother to handle other businesses. The old card is difficult to use with many current devices." The teller lady enthusiastically suggested.

"Just this one." Cloris emphasized.

For an individual, more than 5000 pounds is a huge amount of money, but for a thriving evangelical correctional institution, it may only be a month's daily expenses, which does not include other operating costs.

Cloris intends to keep this card in mind.

"Well, do you need to handle other business?" The lady teller continued to say enthusiastically, "Recently, three wonders have been listed on the Gullingting Stock Exchange. I can recommend some of the best quality financial products for you. The average annual expected rate of return They are all stable at more than 120%..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Cloris couldn't listen anymore, did she really think she was fooled?The girl asked in a warm tone, "Is Miracle still on the market?"

"Of course I can," the teller lady blinked her cat's eyes, "Take our Floating Star Sea as an example, the spectacle [Xingjue Haibao] has been ranked first among the listed spectacle for 16 years, and its market value has increased by 30 times in the past 68 years."

In order to increase the persuasiveness, the lady teller took a thick statistical yearbook from the shelf, which recorded the rough data and financial analysis of each listing spectacle.

In short, it is the demigod who raises money from the market to expand the spectacle. Even if the spectacle is controlled by other people for more than [-]%, the demigod still has the ability to dominate the spectacle, but the controlling person has the right to appoint the next demigod. At the same time, The output of Miracle is also mostly owned by the controlling shareholder.

Like the [Xingjue Sea Fort] at the northern end of the Sea of ​​Floating Stars, after hundreds of years of expansion, it is now a small city with a permanent population of more than [-]. In addition to the main body of the spectacle, there are countless functional mage towers.

"You are a transcendent, aren't you?" the teller lady asked with a smile.

"So what?"

"Then you should know how attractive a spectacle is to investors!"

"However," Cloris emphasized, "I don't think ordinary people have any channels to buy miracle stocks."

"That's true, so these three listed wonders haven't been completed yet," the teller lady said, and immediately changed the subject, "However, you can check the construction progress of these wonders through your contacts, which were recommended by Gu Lingting. That must be the best!" After saying this, the teller lady showed casual pride and confidence on her face, "In the past 300 years, there have been no more than ten serious spectacle projects in the entire Deep Realm, so..."

The lady teller showed a sincere expression, as if she was really thinking about the money of each customer:

"Don't miss this opportunity, never again, guest!"

337. Divination

It's not that Cloris has never done such things as cheating and abducting. Even if the teller lady is gentle and elegant, she is also very decently dressed, like a decent person, but she will not trust the surface.

Especially the other party's seemingly gentle face, but actually a profiteer's face, has been beyond words, which has lost more than half of the trust points in the girl's mind.

However, for a delicate and gentle female, Cloris did not refuse too decisively.

This is the Explorer Bank, where customers and tellers are separated by an invisible barrier, which can detect the activity of mysterious features and prevent robbery accidents.

Cloris said: "I don't trust a person's side story, I only trust myself."

"trust yourself?"

"You know, I'm a fortune teller, so I can figure out if a person is lying."

The lady teller said seriously: "Miss, we will never do anything to deceive customers, all the information we give is absolutely true."

"But this doesn't match the result of my divination."

"If you can easily predict the value and rise and fall of financial assets, how can there be so many fortune tellers who can't even afford a house?" said the lady teller. "With all due respect, miss, most fortune tellers are liars." !"

"Hehe, you compare me with a bunch of trash?" Cloris showed disdain.

"Astrology, playing cards, divination, asking God, crystal ball, spiritual calculation..." The teller lady listed them one by one, "The so-called divination in the folks doesn't have much credibility.

"It looks like you've been hurt by it," said Cloris, "but I do it differently. I read it."

"Look at... the picture?"

"Palmistry, face reading, a person's appearance can determine her future fate, and it also reflects the degree of harmony between her and the environment and the world. The more harmonious she is, the luckier she is, and the less she is unlucky," Cloris said. Weiwei pressed against the counter, leaned closer to her face, and said in a mysterious way, "This is the appearance of human beings, besides that there is the appearance of heaven and earth, I call it Feng Shui."

"Perhaps you have some skills, but this is not what we are going to discuss now," the teller lady realized that the topic had shifted, and hurriedly brought it back, emphasizing, "Also, if you are really capable, you shouldn't question the profitability of our stocks !"

"I don't doubt that it will be profitable," Cloris said vaguely, "but I see that the thing you recommended to me, surrounded by black dead air, will fall into a cliff one day!"

"If you are really capable," said the teller lady not to be outdone, "then you should be able to figure out the right time to leave!"

"Do you think divination is a play?" Cloris snorted, without concealing her contempt, "Don't use your superficial knowledge to trample on the greatness of my lineage, what should be seen and what should not be seen, It was all arranged by the gods, if you fall into greed, you will be wiped out sooner or later."

"Anyway, you're in this business, so whatever you say is right..." The teller lady was still unconvinced. She thought that such a beautiful girl would inherit the wealth of an elder, and would be a rich man with a lot of money, but found that It was a stingy and difficult client who no longer expected to sell anything.

"Have you encountered a difficult relationship recently?" Cloris said suddenly.
