"Report!"
"Very good!"
"Sir, you are finally back."
When the "Master" finally escaped the pursuit of the Qianyan Army and explained the interests to the two travelers from Mondstadt, he gained the basic trust of the other party and returned to the "Northland Bank" opened in the Solstice Kingdom. This fool is located in When Liyue was waiting for visitors to come to his stronghold, surprisingly, one of his subordinates, wearing the red and black uniform of the Fools and wearing a mask, came to his office first.
"Well?"
"It's Vlad..."
He had just sat down, and before he had time to take a sip of tea, his subordinate came in impatiently. Therefore, knowing that something must have happened again, "Young Master" sighed, and then motioned for the other person to speak. .
"Say it!"
"What else happened?"
The traveler was afraid that he wouldn't come to the door so soon, so he felt that he should still have some time to deal with internal affairs.
"..."
However, what surprised the "Master" a little was that his subordinate didn't say anything. He just took a few steps forward without saying a word, and then with a 'clang' sound, he placed a bag of coins heavily on his shoulder. On a beautiful table made of fragrant solid wood.
"!
"
"this is……"
Seeing this familiar bag, "Young Master" frowned slightly, then subconsciously opened the mouth of the bag, stretched out his hand towards the bag containing at least several hundred gold coins, and pinched two of them with two fingers.
Soon, when he saw that the two heavy Mora gold coins were indeed brand new, without any wear and tear, and the symbols in a secret location were actually exactly the same, his slightly frowned brows began to frown. A little tighter.
"whispering sound!"
"It's this again..."
After staring at the two coins, which were exactly the same, weighed very heavy and had the same face value of '10,000', Maura stared at them for a long time. "Young Master" couldn't help but sigh softly, and even used the word 'and'.
Obviously, this was certainly not the first time this happened, and it was certainly not the first time he had seen this brand new and heavy 10,000-face-value Mora gold coin.
"snort!"
"Say it!"
"This time, who used this gold coin to handle the storage business?"
He looked at the two gold coins he picked up casually, thought for a moment, then reached out and took out a heavy handful from the bag. After a brief glance, "Young Master" stopped looking at it. He sneered, threw them all back into the bag, and then asked with a half-smile.
"Report Young Master!"
"It's the same woman who came here a few days ago!"
"She brought it here in the morning."
"Before Liyue's annual invitation ceremony began, and I don't know why, she seemed a little anxious?"
Vlad, the Fool and the guard of the North Country Bank, did not dare to take advantage of it or neglect it, and directly reported the information of the depositor who brought these coins and some of the other party's subtle expressions at the time.
After all, there was a big problem with these brand-new molas brought by the other party. Therefore, they got the instruction last time, and this time when they saw the other party coming again, they definitely needed to observe it carefully. Even, they Even the other party's every move after entering Beiguo Bank was seen, and they recorded everything in certain intelligence documents.
"oh?"
"That is to say..."
"Or the mysterious girl from Fontaine, the water element user Mona who claims to be the 'greatest astrologer'?"
"Young Master" had obviously read the relevant information about the depositor, so this time when he heard that it was Mona who came with the gold coins in question, he smiled and revealed the other person's identity, origin and some important information.
"Yes."
"This time it was the same as last time. After she completed the card storage and payment business, and made sure that she could withdraw money normally even if she didn't come in person, she left in a hurry, as if she didn't want to stay any longer."
"According to our eavesdropping, she seems to be in a hurry to find a contact?"
"certainly!"
"It may also be due to some reasons due to the attack on Emperor Yanwang, but we don't know what it is specifically."
"After all, you said we should not follow you or alert others?"
Vlad, the guard of fools, added again.
And it is not difficult to judge from his words. At this time, he had obviously learned about what happened at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony and the murder of Emperor Yan. Therefore, he took it for granted that the astrologer Mona's abnormal behavior when depositing money It is connected with what happened at today's ceremony.
However, he didn't know exactly how.
After all, like Nadia, he is just a guard of the North Country Bank. Although he is sometimes responsible for intelligence work, the specific analysis and judgment are all made by the "young master" in front of him.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Well……"
After listening, the "Master" did not rush to express his opinion. He just leaned on the back of his chair, which was also made of fragrant wood, folded his arms, and rubbed his beardless chin in thought.
"correct."
"This time, is she here to save millions of molas?"
"Just this bag?"
After a long while, he stretched out his hand to weigh the heavy bag. He knew without counting that it might be about seven or eight hundred pieces, and then the young master frowned and asked softly.
"No!"
"It's not just these millions!"
"This time, she brought a total of seven bags of large molas, all of which are brand new with a face value of 10,000. The total number is exactly 7,000, which is 70 million molas!"
"It was Ekaterina who received and handled the matter, and lobby managers Andrei and Nadia were also on site to assist."
"Including the last business she handled, she has deposited a total of 79.96 million mora in our Northland Bank."
Vlad didn't dare to neglect, and directly told the huge number that made him stutter.
Of course, here in Liyue Port, tens of millions of assets are nothing to those big businessmen or their big customers of Beiguo Bank. It is just the value of the goods brought by a large cargo ship. To them, There are very few customers here with assets of hundreds of millions or even billions.
However, it is the first time in the past few years that the other party has created something from scratch and deposited nearly 80 million new Mora gold coins in two installments in less than half a month!
Originally, this kind of large individual accounts handled storage business. For Beiguo Bank, which came to Liyue Port from the Winter Kingdom to open a bank, it has been squeezed and unfairly competed by the people of Liyue and those large commercial banks involved in banking business. This should be a good thing, right?
However, if all the other parties use to save are newly-made moras that seem to have a lot of problems, then it may not be a good thing for them.
However, this matter is not something that a small guard like Vlad can decide. It is not even something that the lobby manager Andre can decide. This matter must and can only be decided by the fool in front of him. The general person in charge of Liyue, "Gongzi", will decide.
"oh?"
"How many tens of millions of molas?"
"Tsk tsk!"
"Incredible."
"There are more and more every time..."
Hearing this, "Young Master" was startled for a moment, and then suddenly laughed for no apparent reason.
"Master!"
"Do we need some immediate countermeasures?"
After waiting for a while, Vlad, who had not received any instructions, couldn't help but tentatively asked.
"Counterattack?"
"strangeness!"
"Why do you want to fight back?"
The "Master" raised his head and glanced at the subordinate standing in front of his desk in surprise. When he saw the astonishment on the other person's face, he asked with a smile full of deep meaning:
"You mean to confiscate this batch of molas directly in the name of counterfeit currency, right?"
"But……"
"Vlad, do you dare to say they are fake?"
Having said this, "Young Master" thought for a while, then reached into the bag again, and then grabbed a dozen heavy molas, each of which was almost five millimeters thick, and put them one by one. He threw it on the table and spread it out.
"I remember that you were transferred here last year and have been working as a guard here at Beiguo Bank for a long time, right?"
"So, you should also know..."
"Whether it is our North Country Bank or the entire world of Teyvat, there are only two criteria for identifying Mora's authenticity."
"First: it is made of pure gold, a precious metal. As a precious metal, its different weight, size and thickness naturally lead to different face values."
"Second: In addition to being a currency that travels around the world, Mora is also the best catalyst for magic. It is useful in the forging of weapons and armors, the development of elemental abilities, alchemy, and medicine, etc. It is widely used, so it also has the most important second attribute, which is - it contains the power of the God of Rock!"
"But look, now, what are the differences between this kind of gold coin and the '10,000' mola gold coin with the largest face value that we commonly see in daily life?"
As he said this, "Young Master" thought for a while, and then took out a Mora gold coin that was a little old and had even been plated out. He didn't know how many people had passed it and how many years it had been used. They put it on the table together and motioned to his subordinate to come forward to comment and compare.
"this……"
"Master!"
"We have actually compared it a long time ago. This newly minted mola has no problems in terms of size, weight and thickness. In terms of the purity of the gold, it is even better than the old model?"
"As for the power of the rock god above..."
"After comparison and measurement, we found that the power of the Rock God contained in it is several times that of the normal mola with the same face value, and the power is even more pure!"
"When doing alchemy, the kind of alchemy that used to require ten molas may now only require one or two at most?"
Without thinking, Vlad smiled bitterly and answered truthfully some of the tests they had done long ago, and also told the results of the tests.
And this was the real reason why they didn't dare to refuse when Mona came to handle the storage business for the second time, and still received her according to normal procedures.
"Son..."
"It's precisely because of this that my subordinates don't understand, what on earth is this?"
After smiling bitterly, Vlad thought for a while and then continued to add:
"You said it was a real coin..."
"But they do seem to be fake. If nothing else, the hidden number alone is a big problem. How can all the gold coins have the same number?"
"I believe that Golden House will never make such a stupid mistake!"
"They have announced to the outside world that every mola produced by the Golden House has a unique identity number."
"But……"
"You can say that they are fake, but they are better than the real ones in terms of weight, purity, and the power of the Rock God they contain?"
"We can't figure this out."
"Why would someone spend several times more money than genuine coins to make these counterfeit coins?"
Having said this, Vlad stopped and looked longingly at their Liyue general manager, "Young Master", wanting to know what he was thinking.
"Dont look at me!"
"I don't have a clue yet."
Waving his hand, "Young Master" didn't know where to start.
"perhaps……"
"It's their minting institution, that is, the 'gold house' that has a big problem. Otherwise, they wouldn't have produced so many consecutive gold coins."
"certainly!"
"From what happened today, we can also think that there is a big problem with their gods?"
"Then what led to this situation?"
"or……"
"Is this really just a counterfeit coin that some guy or some organization is trying to create?"
"Young Master" picked up one and looked at it, and then tentatively analyzed it like this, but before the truth was revealed, he couldn't draw a conclusion too early, and he couldn't tell the reason.
"But!"
"Master."
"The one who used the gold coins to store them was the astrologer Mona. She doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Seven Stars of Liyue?"
At this time, Vlad spoke again and directly told the information that their fools had investigated from Mona.
"snort!"
"It's okay if it's not related!"
"I heard that Mona is from Fontaine. She just passed through Liyue and stayed here for a while. If she comes forward, she can always cover it up to some extent."
"Although, in our opinion, it is just a clumsy way to cover one's ears and deceive others?"
Smiling, "Master" seemed a little disdainful of Vlad's statement.
"The newly minted 'fake' Mora, the attacked Rock King Emperor..."
"Liyue Qixing, or what exactly is Liyue doing here?"
"matter……"
"It seems to be getting more and more complicated and interesting!"
Think about today's Immortal Invitation Ceremony, think about the scene of the ceremony for the death of Emperor Yan after the attack, think about the weird 'fake' mola that started to appear in Liyue a few days ago, and think about the fact that what was used to store it was a A native of Fontaine, "Young Master" just put together these seemingly unrelated threads, and almost subconsciously felt that there must be some shocking conspiracy among them!
But what exactly it is, he still doesn't know yet.
After all, he is not exposing the conspiracy and investigating the truth. What he has to do now is another more important matter, which is personally ordered by the Ice Queen. As for the 'fake' Mora, I'm afraid he can only do it first. Leave it and watch what happens.
"That……"
"Sir, if Mona still uses these counterfeit coins to store them, should we still accept them?"
Seeing that he didn't take it, Vlad could only ask tentatively.
"Of course!"
"Why not accept it?"
"It is a genuine gold coin. It is made of precious metal like gold. You can't deny this, right?"
"As for the power of the Rock God..."
"Ah!"
"Compared with such a 'counterfeit coin' and the real 'genuine coin', the power of the Rock God contained in it is even more intense!"
"In certain specific uses, one such coin can be as good as several real 'genuine coins'. So, speaking of it, we have made several times the profit by collecting these 'counterfeit coins'!"
After saying this, "Young Master" gave a rare knowing smile.
Actually, it was not once or twice that he opened the Northland Bank here in Liyue Port and received various fake molas. However, this time, it was the most happy and willing time for him to be deceived. It was very special. dramatic!
"remember!"
"You have nothing to do except continue to investigate secretly!"
"In the future, if Mona or anyone else comes with these newly minted gold coins, our Northland Bank will not ask any questions and will accept them all!"
"but……"
"You should note that these newly minted 'fake' gold coins must be stored separately from the ordinary 'real' gold coins. They must be kept carefully and must not be exchanged for any more."
"have you understood?"
Just like that, the "Master" sneered and gave his order.
Although he doesn't know what this is all about, he can't see what impact or loss this 'counterfeit currency' can have on their Northland Bank. Therefore, if this is a method thought up by a competitor, And if they want to use this to deal with their Northland Bank, then the other party's wishful thinking will be wrong.
That kind of 'fake' Mora, no matter who it is, as long as he still dares to take it, he will still dare to accept it.
Even more, he just kept it and ate as many as he came!
If there was a risk of a run at that time, the worst he could do was simply transport a large amount of gold coins of equal amounts from the Winter Solstice Country to exchange or offset them.
Although it requires high freight and costs, compared to the power of the Rock God, which is several times greater out of thin air, it is still a sure profit.
Actually, in Young Master's view, it is a bit conservative to make this kind of 'fake' Mora with a face value of '10,000'. Even if it is made with a face value of '50,000' that does not exist at all, they, the Bank of the North, would dare to accept it. Bar?
After all, everyone knows that the reason why the Mora produced in the Golden House in Liyue can travel unimpeded throughout the world of Teyvat is that it directly crushed the currencies of the other six countries and established financial hegemony with an overwhelming advantage many years ago. Except for In addition to its precious metal properties, it relies on the irreplaceable and widely used 'Power of the Rock God'!
"yes!"
"My subordinate understands!"
After hearing what "Master" said, Vlad knew what to do.
So, seeing that there was nothing else to do, he hurriedly bowed, then quickly turned around and went out, preparing to tell the matter to Manager Andre who was still receiving guests in the lobby and Yeka, who was in charge of the counter business. Telina and others know.
Benedict! Benedict!
Not long after Vlad left, there were two knocks on the door, and Nadia, another guard of fools from the Northland Bank, followed in.
"Report!"
"Master."
"There is a blond girl and a flying little dot outside. They said they wanted to see you, and they also said you invited them here?"
Then, after saluting, she stood upright, raised her head, looked at the "young master" who was playing with the bag of gold coins at the desk, and reported.
"oh?"
"Are they finally willing to come?"
"Please!"
"besides!"
"By the way, let me prepare some tea and snacks. They are my important guests, very important..."
"Whenever they come here from now on, don't stop them."
When he heard that Ying and Paimon were coming, the "Master" smiled knowingly, then picked up the gold coins on the table, stuffed them back into the bag, and threw them into Nadia's arms. , and then he hurriedly gave the order.
"yes!"
"Nadia understands!"
Since those two people were indeed the guests invited by her "young master", and they seemed to be very important, Nadia certainly did not dare to neglect them. After hurriedly saluting again, she turned around and twisted her waist with the heavy bag of gold coins in her arms. The limb is out.
"It seems..."
"Liyue will no longer be calm soon!"
When he was the only one left in the office, "Young Master" smiled, then walked briskly to the window with his hands behind his back, opened a small gap, and looked straight in the direction of Yujing Terrace .
Obviously, the fools must have their reasons for choosing to open Beiguo Bank at the highest point in Liyuefang City.
but……
"snort!"
When he raised his head and saw the Qun Jade Pavilion located in the sky of Liyue Harbor, shining with the sun and the moon and overlooking the entire earth, he snorted coldly, and then closed the window with a black face.
Over the years, Qunyu Pavilion and Tianquan Ningguang have always been a thorn in the flesh of the Fools, and they have always been hanging above their heads. Not only do they have to look up at them, but they have also repeatedly suppressed them tit for tat. Regarding this point , they fools have been secretly hating them for a long time.
But it doesn't matter. Changes have occurred now. Liyue Port no longer has the protection of the God of Rock. Next, it depends on who is more skilled in the game.
Of course, before that, they fools still need to continue to make arrangements. They must first determine whether the 'Emperor of the Rock King' has really fallen or has really had a big problem. Only then can he make the next step. Action strategy.
"!
"
"Well?"
Soon, when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching from far away, the "Master" quickly put on another smiling face and sat back on his chair immediately.
