Chapter 125. The Show is About to Begin!
The cashiers in the various towns received permission and began to order people to carry out boxes of gold coins orderly.
The gold coin from the United Holy Kingdom weighed 22.4 grams, and the gold and silver were split equally. Ninety million gold coins weighed more than 2,000 tons, and it was impossible to carry them with human strength. Fortunately, every bank had magic puppets to move gold coins. Even so, it took more than an hour to move the mountain of gold.
Many banks did not have that much money, so they exchanged it for the more valuable ancient elven gold coins, each of which was about 250 common gold coins.
It only took a few minutes for the players to go from shock to adaptation and numbness. Although Char had told them to keep it a secret, they could not help but take screenshots as a memento.
After taking the picture, they felt no one would believe this even if they told them.
"Look! This chest was filled with gold coins! That's a total of ninety million!"
"How high are you-"
Thinking about this, the screenshot became dull.
On the other hand, when the NPCs saw the players take away all the money in the vault with a wave of their hands, they were dumbfounded.
However, there was still more confusion to come.
As they tore up the scroll and left, even the scroll fragments turned into stars and disappeared. Only then did the cashiers remember they should send a request for a money transfer to the surrounding banks to fill up the empty vault.
Thus, they each walked to the communication room.
...
Pelican Town.
Under the effect of the contract, there was no need to initiate the transaction, and the gold coins in the sixteen players' bags went to Char.
At that moment, he had 1,530,001,041 gold coins on him.
More than 15,000 tons of gold were involved in this money, which was 70% of the currency reserves of the entire Elfheim, about 25% of the world's total gold. The remaining half was in the United Holy Kingdom, and the other half was scattered, most of which were hidden in Andaheim and underground.
But in fact, these gold coins were not made by the elves. Most of them came from the United Holy Kingdom.
In other words, the United Holy Kingdom controlled more than half of the world's currency, and they had stored so many gold coins in Elfheim because of this in recent years.
Since the elves were forced to join the alliance, a large number of common currencies poured into Elfheim, gradually eliminating the exquisite ancient gold coins used by elves. They also used common currencies to take back the ancient coins in the hands of most elven nobles to the United Holy Kingdom.
Although the exchange rate of ancient gold had skyrocketed from 1:25 to 1:250, it could not withstand rapid inflation.
Moreover, the reason why it was getting more expensive was also that there were fewer of them.
Everyone knew the United Holy Kingdom wanted to swallow Elfheim, but their means had been subtle and slow. Therefore, most elves could not see the undercurrents under the surface of harmony.
Secretly supporting the slave breeding base was one of the means, and driving out good money with bad ones as well. Even now, seventeen of the twenty-five banks seemed to be controlled by the elves.
After all, the seventeen banks were backed by Prince Yasuo, who had already sided with the United Holy Empire.
It was also because of this that only these seventeen banks had so much money.
But now, they were all in Char's pocket.
"Second Uncle, what do you want to do? Can we be considered the astounding demon bandits?"
Huangfu Shou couldn't help but ask.
A day ago, he had found out about Char's fake ID and that he was a wanted criminal from the church, but he had kept calling him Second Uncle.
"Are you taking revenge on the church for putting you on the wanted list?" Nelwin asked.
"That's right," said Ainstein. "Can you do this in the game? I'm starting to suspect that you're not a player."
"Hahaha!"
His words caused a burst of laughter. Only Apple Pie forced a smile. She lowered her head slightly and hid her expression.
"Alright, don't let your thoughts run wild. Go offline and hide for a while. Wait for me to deal with it. Thank you for your help," Char explained. "Let's do a dungeon together if we have the chance."
After exchanging a few polite words, they all went offline, leaving only Char and Felix behind.
The fat merchant trembled with excitement and looked at Char like a devout believer looking at a God.
"Felix, you should know what's going to happen next, right?" He asked.
"I know!"
Char put his hand on Felix's shoulder and said with certainty, "Believe me. They won't dare to do anything to you. Then, I'll save you and make you the Minister of Finance to manage Elfheim. I'm only transferring these gold coins from my pocket to a bigger one."
"I understand!"
Felix nodded, his eyes shining with a fanatical light.
"Good. Now, take this letter and hand it to Prince Alaite of the Morgenlight Chamber of Commerce when you meet him. He'll know what to do. "
Char handed him a letter and left.
Just five minutes after he disappeared, a piercing alarm sounded in Pelican Town.
A transparent barrier was raised at the edge of the town to prevent anyone from leaving. At the same time, the people from the Public Security Department and the soldiers from the Sunfire Guards stationed in the town moved out. They were in a hurry, and their faces were grim. The streets were in chaos.
The elves didn't know what had happened, and they were all panicking.
The soldiers barged into every Morgenlight Chamber of Commerce and arrested everyone from the manager to the front desk, even the servants sweeping the floor. Then, the hotel Felix was staying in was surrounded.
But before they could do anything, the fat merchant pushed open the door and strode forward like a triumphant hero.
He smiled politely to the captain, who had a gloomy face and a vigilant look.
But this time, there was no flattery.
On the contrary, victory was in his hands.
...
The same scene played out in sixteen other towns. In less than half an hour, the Morgenlight Chamber of Commerce had become country thieves!
Fortunately, the news had been temporarily blocked and had not caused panic among the people.
However, the matter had already reached the Queens' ears.
At the heart of the forest, the very center of Greenland, the foot of the Holy tree.
Prince Alaite, of the five governors, was also the person behind the Chamber of Commerce. His mansion was located here.
At this moment, the prince was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He couldn't understand, no matter how much he thought about it. How could this happen?
Just as he was about to pull out all his hair, the person finally arrived!
It was Felix!
Prince Alaite took a step forward, rushed out of the house, and grabbed the fat merchant's collar.
"Speak! What have you done?"
Felix's face turned red as he struggled to pull a letter from his pocket.
The prince grabbed the letter and was shocked when he saw the words on it.
[To Alaite, one of the fourteen shadow apostles]
There was also a dark rose emblem on the lower right corner of the envelope.
He quickly put the letter away and stared at Felix. "Who gave you this letter?!"
The fat merchant saw at a glance that he looked tough on the outside but was scared and weak on the inside. He sneered in his heart, but he pretended to be timid and absent-minded on the surface.
Then, his body swayed a little before he fell to the ground.
Alaite's heart almost stopped breathing. He hurriedly untied Felix and sent him into the room. He must wake him up!
After he was done with this, the guard ran over.
"Your, Your Highness, bad news! Your residence has been surrounded by the Sunfire Guards!"
