Chapter 18 The Church of the Goddess of Wealth

Returning to the manor from the Mages Guild, the head maid Anne took a greeting card and reported: "Miss, Bishop Leroy of the Goddess of Fortune Church sent a greeting card and wants to visit you tomorrow afternoon."

Although there is magic that can enable real-time communication, after all, most people still cannot afford it on a daily basis. Therefore, nobles and other distinguished people who want to visit must inform them in advance and make an appointment.

After taking the invitation and looking at it, Christine said, "Okay, you can send someone to reply to him."

"Ok."

Then an attendant rode on horseback to deliver a reply. There are people in the families of the great nobles who are specially responsible for this job. They are all chosen to have good looks, flexible minds, and eloquent people. They also have to undergo etiquette training.

.

The next afternoon.

When there were still five minutes left before the appointed time, Kristine and others were waiting in front of the main building. Two minutes later, a carriage drove into the manor, escorted by a knight and four cavalry.

The car door opened, and a tall, thin middle-aged man wearing a white bishop's robe with a gold pattern on the background came out.

"Praise be to the great goddess of wealth, good day, Bishop Leroy."

The other party was a tenth-level priest, so Christine took the lead in greeting him.

"Praise the great goddess of wealth, good afternoon, Miss Stewart." Bishop Leroy returned the greeting.

Christine let the bishop and his party into the living room, and then a maid brought tea and snacks.

After taking a sip of tea, Bishop Leroy praised: "The tea of ​​Baron Stewart is really different."

"If the bishop likes it, I will bring some back to you later."

"Thank you, Miss Stewart."

On the mainland, it is a friendly act for the other party to accept a gift immediately. If you do not want to have contact with the other party, you will refuse it.

So Elena immediately took out a beautiful wooden box, and when she opened it face to face, there was a sealed tea brick inside. Tea bricks of this standard size start at 100 gold coins each, and Stuart's tea is famous throughout the kingdom, so don't expect it if you don't have 200 gold coins.

Yes, the family to which Christine's mother, Felosil Morningstar, belongs is also famous among the elves for growing tea. Although the tea seeds they brought were not top-notch in the family, they were considered to be in the human kingdom.

This is also another source of wealth for the Stewart family. The only disadvantage is that the output is small, and it can only bring in an income of five thousand gold coins every year in addition to personal use.

After being a little polite, Bishop Leroy got down to business.

"Miss Stewart, I heard that Baron Stewart received a compensation of 120,000 gold coins in the war with Baron Lorient?"

"Yes, but I spent a lot in the previous period, probably less than 90,000 gold coins."

The artworks and other works of art paid by Baron Lorient were all sold to the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce affiliated with the Church of the Goddess of Fortune, so Bishop Leroy still doesn't know how much money he received.

As for how much it was spent, if the Church of the Goddess of Wealth couldn't even grasp this, it would really be dishonoring God, so Kristen told the truth.

"Ms. Stewart, you have such a large sum of money in your hands, have you ever thought about participating in the investment of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce affiliated to the church?"

In fact, when Bishop Leroy sent someone to deliver the greeting card, Christine guessed his purpose.

Whether it's the nobles or the chamber of commerce on the mainland, everyone is short of money at some point, and they need to borrow money to make ends meet. So who is the richest and has the best reputation? Of course it is the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce under the Goddess of Wealth Church.

Private loans may face problems such as high interest rates or additional conditions, but the credibility of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce is absolutely good, which makes borrowers feel at ease. And because it is backed by the Church of the Goddess of Wealth, no one dares to default on the loan, and even if the borrower cannot afford to pay back, he has the strength to enforce it.

This kind of lending service naturally requires a principal. How does the principal come from? Let the nobles invest.

Not all noble territories have excellent natural resources that others do not have. Most of them are similar to each other. What you have, I also have. Everyone is self-sufficient.

As for opening a chamber of commerce, it can't be successful without unique resources. It's better to lend the spare money you have to the gold coin chamber of commerce to do business or lend money. They promise fixed interest, which is a business that will make a profit without losing money. The specific form is the same as that of a bank, except that the investors are all nobles and the minimum is five thousand gold coins. As for the loan, there is no limit.

Considering the inconvenience for merchants to carry large amounts of gold coins, the Church of the Goddess of Wealth has also introduced gold coin coupons, which are divided into three denominations: one hundred, five hundred, and one thousand.

For example, merchants can exchange gold coins for gold coupons at the Temple of the Goddess of Wealth in the Kingdom of France, and then exchange them for gold coins from the Temple of the Goddess of Wealth in the Kingdom of Rhine. However, if the total amount of each exchange is less than 1,000 gold coins, a 5% handling fee will be charged, and if the total amount of the exchange is less than 1,000 gold coins, a fixed handling fee of 100 gold coins will be charged. Nobles who participate in the investment will have a 20% discount on exchanges.

Christine had just earned a large sum of money, so the bishop, the goddess of wealth, naturally came to "purchase investment."

This kind of prosperous business is encouraged by the church. Whether it attracts large investments or lends large loans, it is all merit, not to mention the "commission", so it is not surprising that with the dignity of Bishop Leroy Visited in person.

After hearing this, Christine immediately said: "Bishop Leroy, thank you for your kindness. But I plan to build a mage tower, and the money may not be enough."

"Mage Tower?" Bishop Leroy was stunned after hearing this, and then he realized: "You want to build an intermediate Mage Tower?"

The construction standard of a mage tower is that the five floors of the elementary level cost 80,000 gold coins, the seven floors of the intermediate level cost 100,000 gold coins, and the nine floors of the advanced level cost 120,000 gold coins. All mage towers have three floors underground.

So when Bishop Leroy heard that Christine said it wasn't necessarily enough, he immediately thought of her building an intermediate mage tower.

"I want to build a high-level mage tower. As you know, a lot of money does not need to be spent at once." Christine explained.

"Miss Stewart is so powerful." Bishop Leroy praised.

"You flatter me."

"Miss Stewart, if you need any materials during the construction of the Mage Tower, please contact the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce and we will give you the best discount."

"Thank you Bishop Leroy."

Although he did not attract this "investment", Bishop Leroy immediately turned around and started business for the Chamber of Commerce. Most of the 120,000 gold coins are needed to purchase various magic materials. If the chamber of commerce takes over this business, it will make a lot of money.

As for Christine, as a first-level mage, building a high-level mage tower is not a problem at all. As long as people from the evil camp are not taking money, the Mage Guild will send people to build it for you.

After all, the purpose of building a mage tower is to cultivate mages. It is too late for the guild to welcome such an increase in the number of mages.

No matter which country, family or force a mage belongs to, they will have their name in the Mage Guild. The purpose is to purchase various materials, pay to learn knowledge and conduct academic exchanges with each other.

Therefore, if you train one more mage, the influence of the Mage Guild will be greater.
