Arcane Lord

"Lord, I transferred 10 gold coins to you. Did you receive it?" The captain of the Lawbreaker asked nervously after completing the operation.

"Received."

Xia Duo did not even need to look at the balance number on the ID card, and directly gave a positive answer. As the Lord of Order, he could directly obtain relevant information through the power of order. The other party did transfer 10 gold coins to him.

"I will try to transfer it to you again."

As he said, Xia Duo once again extended his ID card, and the captain hurriedly put his ID card on it. Then Xia Duo transferred 10 gold coins to the other party according to the normal process, and then asked:

"Did you receive it?"

"Received, Lord."

"That's good."

Xia Duo's eyes swept across the faces of the people who were expecting, and did not continue to conduct the transfer experiment with these people, but talked about other issues:

"How long have you been here?"

"It should be more than half an hour." The captain replied.

"So what do you think of this transfer method? Tell us about the good and bad aspects. This function is still in the testing stage, and your opinions are very important." Of course, Xia Duo hopes to hear about the bad and insufficient aspects so that he can make improvements next. He has heard too many good aspects, and he doesn't need the praise from these people.

...

"Since the lord asked, let me tell you my opinion first!" The captain looked at his companions around him and spoke first. "At the beginning, I was very worried about this transfer method.

"After all, it is a virtual balance number, not a real gold coin. But as the contact time increases, I gradually realize the biggest convenience of this transfer method, which is saving space.

"We are only transferring a few hundred gold coins at most. If we use physical gold coins, we have to carry a large purse with us. If the amount is more, it will be even more inconvenient, and we will inevitably use gold coin exchange vouchers.

"But gold coin exchange vouchers can only be traded in integers, and there is also the inconvenience of carrying vouchers with you. All in all, the current balance is more convenient.

"As for the bad aspects——"

The captain hesitated for a moment, but out of trust in the territory and the lord, he still expressed his true thoughts, "The most worrying thing about this kind of balance number that appears out of thin air is that it cannot be exchanged for real gold coins.

"No matter how convenient it is to use in practice, as long as there is a problem with the exchange once, many people may never use it again.

"In addition, there is the balance number itself. Will this number formed by magic eventually be affected by magic? If your own balance number can be easily changed by the mage, I am afraid that not many people will be willing to use it."

"Well said!"

Shado praised generously, and then answered the questions raised by the captain one by one, "As for the balance exchange for gold coins, after this function is officially opened, the territory logistics department will open a special window in the lobby of the government hall to handle gold coin exchange affairs.

"In addition, what I want to tell you is that the source of this balance comes from me. Just now, the mage Aberk transferred money to you, which actually deducted his own balance. On my side, every time the balance increases, the corresponding gold coins will be reserved in the government hall. Even if everyone exchanges all, there is no need to worry about not being able to exchange.

"Of course, this is only available after the balance function is officially opened. It is still in the testing period, and it is more about testing this function itself.

"As for the balance number that you are worried about being changed by the magician, I can tell you clearly that the display of the balance number is different from conventional spells and will not be interfered by any conventional spells.

"In addition, every change in the balance number on your ID card will be recorded by me. Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance that your balance number is abnormal, you can go to the relevant department of the Government Affairs Office at any time to restore it."

What Xia Duo didn't say is that although conventional spells cannot directly modify the balance, they can control the holder of the ID card to trade, but this has nothing to do with the balance function itself.

In the past, it was not uncommon for magicians to confuse or coerce ordinary people to hand over their wealth, or even directly kill ordinary people to seize their wealth. This is also the main reason why ordinary people have a limit to doing business and must find a magician tower organization to rely on.

When wealth accumulates to a certain extent, there will inevitably be spellcasters coming to ask for money. At this time, if there is no backstage to deal with it, these wealth is equivalent to helping others accumulate.

Compared with the physical currency in the past, the current virtual balance can actually prevent the caster from robbing and plundering!

All transaction records of the virtual balance are retained by the power of order. Even if a wizard forces the transfer, it will inevitably be traced afterwards. As for letting people exchange it into gold coins first and then plundering, there are too many steps in the middle, which will also leave traceable clues.

Of course, post-event tracing is after the fact. In fact, the power of order can also prevent it before it happens. As long as the mental state of both parties of the transaction is confirmed before the balance is transferred, it is determined that both parties have the real intention that is not affected by the spell.

The same operation is also used for exchanging gold coins, which can prevent most direct plundering cases.

This is nothing more than opening a permission for everyone to cast a mind protection spell. Considering the actual consumption of the mind protection spell, it is mandatory to use it when a certain transaction amount is reached, and the trader can even bear the cost.

It is difficult to quantify the cost of the Power of Order spell, but in practice, an appropriate cost can be artificially defined to achieve the sustainable development of the Power of Order.

As long as the investigation is in place, Xia Duo believes that there will not be many cases of direct robbery in the future, but rather fraud, which may become more frequent before the relevant laws are improved.

At that time, maybe the first thing the territorial security officers do every time they visit a community or a village is to conduct anti-fraud propaganda.

…

"Does anyone else have anything to say or want to know?"

"Lord, after your explanation just now, I think this virtual balance function is very complete, but I still have some questions. If possible, I hope to get an answer from your lord."

"you say!"

"If this virtual balance function becomes popular, will there be no need for physical gold coins in the future?"

"No, let's not talk about how long it will take to popularize this function. We have no control over other places. In order to facilitate trade with those places, physical gold coins will most likely be used."

"Then if we go to other places, do we have to exchange enough gold coins in our territory before we can go out?"

"If nothing else happens, it should be like this, but I will also consider building exchange points in other places to facilitate the Daxia citizens outside the country to exchange gold coins at any time."

This is actually the function of a bank. If it is combined with the void warehouse, building such an exchange point is not a problem at all, or even a further bank.

But this is only theoretical. Just because something is theoretically possible does not necessarily mean it will work. Practical factors also need to be taken into consideration, such as whether the local lord agrees, etc.
