Chapter 72 Chapter 71: High-profile return (seeking follow-up reading, monthly ticket)
Fisherman's Harbor,
Early in the morning, a group of fishermen, sailors and porters arrived one after another. When they were preparing to go to work, they found that the port had been sealed.
They were all rough men, and when many of them were about to start cursing, they were beaten up by the city guards who were there to maintain law and order, and they lost their temper.
The daily security of Fisherman's Harbor is also the responsibility of the city guards.
They are usually the bullies of this area, with ships docking and various shops doing business. If you don't pay tribute to them, they will make trouble three times a day.
Although because they are near the sea, these city guards inevitably have the smell of fish on their bodies and are ridiculed by their peers in the city.
But that kind of ridicule is more of jealousy, envy and hatred!
However, even the arrogant city guards could only do some minor work today.
Warriors wearing gorgeous leather armor and holding spears completely blocked the port.
Each of these warriors was fierce and fierce, with sharp eyes. They looked around vigilantly, their gazes like knives.
The emblem on their chests is an iron gauntlet with the palms facing inward, which is the emblem of Torm, the god of justice.
In the center of the crowd surrounded by soldiers was a middle-aged fat man.
The fat guy was really fat. He was not tall, had a round belly, and could not even see the ground when he stood on tiptoe.
But no one dares to ignore his identity!
He was wearing a dress made of dark red satin with intricate patterns embroidered with gold thread. This piece of clothing alone was worth a hundred gold coins.
Not to mention, he had ten gold rings on his ten fingers, and the huge gems on each ring sparkled in the sun, dazzling the eyes.
In the whole city of Auckland, only the devout believers in Woking would dress in such an exaggerated way.
The man before him was none other than Mark Williams, the president of the Seven Gods Bank, a devout follower of Woking, the goddess of wealth and trade, and a wealthy businessman who claimed that gold flows through every pore.
The captain of the Fisherman's Harbor City Guard was standing next to him, bowing and nodding like a servant.
But Mark Williams didn't like him at all, and his face was full of impatience.
Until a ship slowly docked at the shore, the wealthy businessman immediately became alert and looked over with anticipation.
The Percinus docked and the planks were set up. The first thing Roy did when he got off was to meet the fat man.
The etiquette he had cultivated since childhood came into play at this moment. He walked forward calmly, put his right hand on his chest, and said with a smile, "But is this Mr. Mark Williams?"
"It's me! It's me! Haha, you are Luo Yi, Luo Yi from the Raymond family?"
"Loy Roy Fitz, salutations to you!"
Mark Williams didn't care about the illegitimate child's last name at all. Instead, he looked expectant and asked, "What that person said to me last night couldn't be false, right?"
Luo Yi said: "In the name of the Raymond family, do you think I would joke about such a thing?"
"Hahahaha, of course not. I just didn't expect Mr. Luo Yi to be so lucky!"
Mark Williams laughed out loud, so happily that he even lost his composure a little.
Luo Yi just smiled without saying anything, looking reserved.
"Mr. Mark, then don't waste any more time?"
“Okay, okay!”
Mark Williams said this, and then laughed and said, "Quick, quick, quick, everyone, move."
So the sailors carried down large wooden boxes and buckets from the boat. They were all extremely heavy and required the combined strength of two or three people to lift them.
At the back of the port, in an empty room, staff from the bank conducted on-site inspections and assessments.
It's not that there are no banks in this world. As far back as ancient times, there were prototypes of banks, which were called "goldsmiths".
Mainly, people can deposit gold bars with a goldsmith, and the certificate issued by the goldsmith can be used for storage, and also serves the purpose of currency identification and exchange.
At that time, 'goldsmith' was a profession, but it was also a synonym for wealth!
However, when you deposit gold bars with a goldsmith, not only do you not earn any interest, you also incur handling fees, and there are also fees for exchange.
But the Seven Gods Bank is different. Their system is extremely complete. Not only does they have a complete loan business, even the government agencies of the Habsburg Empire borrow money from them.
At the same time, the Seven Gods Bank also has a savings business. The solid vault is protected by divine power and cannot be opened without the correct steps and methods.
Most importantly, the Seven Gods Bank will also give depositors a certain amount of interest. Although it is not much, it is more cost-effective than paying interest to the bank.
The result was that once the Seven Gods Bank came into being, other banks collapsed one after another. Apart from some underground banks and shameful wealth, this was the richest organization in the entire Habsburg Empire.
Luo Yi's gains this time were so great that he was qualified to be received in person by the bank president, who even arranged personnel to carry out the handover in a grand manner.
Those spear warriors are not just for show. Not to mention their strength, the emblems on their chests represent that they are the temple guards of Torm, the god of justice.
Those are warriors who are directly protected by the gods. When they appear, no one dares to move around.
The onlookers all around stretched their necks, very curious. The box was so tightly sealed that they had no idea what was inside.
However, the box filled with gold and silver was too heavy to bear. One of the sailors was too weak and the box slipped out of his hands, and a large amount of gold and silver rolled all over the ground.
At this moment, it seemed as if the world was quiet, everyone's breathing became heavy, countless eyes converged, and faces were filled with astonishment, disbelief, and deep greed.
Only Mark Williams looked angry, cursing loudly, and then he personally picked up the gold coins.
After a while, all the money was packed up again and the boxes were carried away, but the originally calm crowd unconsciously pricked up their ears.
Even from a long distance away, they seemed to be able to hear the sound of the kintiers colliding, so crisp and pleasant, so touching.
At this moment, even the captain of the city guard, the seemingly servile man, looked at Luo Yi with a look filled with deep malice.
Of course, when his gaze turned back to Mark Williams, he restrained his greed.
This is just a small episode. The barrels will eventually be transported away, but inventory and evaluation will take even longer.
There is no way. In addition to coins, there are also gems, gold and silver objects, agate, coral, pearls, paintings and other items that need to be evaluated.
This is Mark Williams' business, so after saying hello, he went to get busy.
Just when everyone thought that things were over, someone else arrived.
They were a group of magicians in black robes, with their heads held high, expressions of contempt, and looking down on people, making them look so noble.
But they did have noble qualifications. Not to mention the outer city guards, even the guards of the Temple of Justice did not stop them.
The leading magician wore a pure white robe with two circles of pentagram embroidered on his chest. A total of eight corners were lit up, turning into twinkling stars.
This one, a true spellcaster, was at level 8 of the second stage. In the era of the rise of the magic industry, even the nobles had to salute him when they saw him.
After all, there may be many nobles, but there are really few magicians.
This person was also an acquaintance of Luo Yi. When he saw him, he greeted him with a smile.
"Mrs. Linda, thank you for making this trip."
This one is Linda Armstrong, the second-level official magician and potion master from the Ancient Mage Tower.
Luo Yi was a big customer of the Ancient Spirit Mage Tower, and he had spent a lot of money on buying potions with Jintir. The person arranged by the Ancient Spirit Mage Tower to receive him was this person.
Madam Linda smiled gently and said, "To find the complete corpse of a Fire Demon, I would have to come even if it meant eight or ten trips, not to mention just one.
But, don't lie to me, okay?"
"Not only is there the complete corpse of the Burning Demon, but also an adult basilisk, the descendant of the Doomsday Serpent Leviathan. I will definitely not let you down!"
Linda's expression froze: "Are you sure you're not kidding me?"
"How dare I?"
Luo Yi smiled and said, "Mrs. Linda, I will take you there myself."
“Go, go, go!”
This time, it was not Roy who led the way, but Linda who pulled at his clothes, looking impatient.
So, a group of people boarded the Percinus, and soon they heard Mrs. Linda's voice, which seemed to be very distressed and couldn't help roaring.
Faintly, everyone seemed to hear: "Who? Who told you to do this? It's a waste of natural resources, it's really a waste of natural resources!"
"This snake gallbladder, snake gallbladder, it's such a good material, how can it be left like this?"
"The descendants of Leviathan, the hardest scales, the best armor material, are wasted like this. What a pity, such a pity!"
Luo Yi really didn't stay for long before he escaped because he was sprayed so badly that he couldn't even raise his head.
As for the besiegers, they also saw large chunks of snake meat, huge fangs, intact snake skin, and exaggerated sections of snake bones.
These were enough to cause everyone to be amazed, but it was not until the snake head, the huge snake head of the descendant of the doomsday monster Leviathan, was lifted down that the crowd was truly horrified and dared not look directly at it.
As for the corpse of the Fire Demon, it was so shocking that it was carried out covered up.
Mrs. Linda and her group came quickly and left quickly. They needed to take these materials back to the Ancient Spirit Mage Tower for secondary processing, otherwise many of them would lose their effectiveness.
Of course, Luo Yi promised that unused materials could be sold to the Mage Tower, but not all of them. The details would have to be discussed later.
For example, snake meat is needed for Luoyi's cultivation, and snake scales are necessary to make a set of armor.
After these wizards left, Butler Hoover arrived again, bringing with him many people and driving a carriage.
Each carriage was pulling a coffin, and everyone was looking on in horror.
In the end, all that was sent down from the Percinus were corpses. They were placed in coffins and taken away one after another.
Not until dozens of coffins had left did the Percinus finally complete unloading, but the news had spread throughout the city of Auckland like a whirlwind.
Everyone says that Roy Roy Fitz, the illegitimate son of the Raymond family, got the treasure of the Bloody Mary Pirates, and the glittering gold is more than the treasure of the dragon.
Your monthly votes are not strong enough, so I don’t even have the chance to add more chapters!
