Don't call me evil god

The next day.

According to Mr. Vance's recollection, a branch of the Gilt Club was located in the Old Town.

Gale and Miranda walked through the crooked streets of the royal city, with Miranda leading the way most of the time.

She had grown up here and was very familiar with the environment. She no longer needed Gale to use that clumsy method to explore the path bit by bit.

"Look over there! There are some apricot trees there. When I was little, I was particularly curious about the taste of the apricots growing on them, but I was not tall enough to pick them."

As Miranda walked, she introduced Gale to what the royal city looked like in her memories.

"I just kept waiting and waiting. When the apricots were ripe and fell from the tree to the ground, I could pick them up and taste them."

As she spoke, Miranda made a depressed expression: "Apricots are sour!"

"Exceptionally sour!"

"It was different from the apricots my father bought at the market. It looked delicious, but it turned out there was no sweetness at all. It almost made my teeth sore! I was just losing my teeth at that time."

Gale laughed at the pop.

He had done similar stupid things like this as a child before.

"I'm different from you. Grandpa's manor has specially arranged apricot trees for planting. I later learned that those apricots are not picked and eaten, but used to squeeze out the juice and use it to refine a magic potion for awakening spirits. Material."

"After drinking the awakening potion, you will be more alert and less sleepy for a period of time."

"After the servants finished picking them, I grabbed a handful out of their basket out of curiosity. After one bite, the smell was simply amazing!"

"Sour and astringent!"

"Magic potion refining is really magical. It is a variety of seemingly completely unrelated materials. When added in a specific order and weight, the effects of voodoo magic can be transformed into potions with magical effects."

"Actually, I still haven't figured out why the Awakening Magic Pharmacy needs to add 7 drops of wild apricot juice."

The two walked talking and laughing. In order to avoid being recognized, Miranda put on a veil to cover her face and changed back to her usual clothes.

Therefore, even if you can hear people discussing topics like "Heroes of the Kingdom" on the roadside from time to time, those passers-by in the capital do not realize that the real person in their topic has just passed them by.

…

The exterior of the Gilded Club branch located in the old city is a four-story building with classical and exquisite decoration.

It has a masonry structure, and the exterior walls have been specially painted to look very smooth and beautiful. Unlike some old-fashioned houses in the old city, the walls are as pitted as if they had been gnawed by dogs.

The upper floors have large transparent glass windows, the roof has been expanded, and the outside of the extended eaves is dotted with shining crystal stones. If it is at night, this place should be more conspicuous.

In front of the door squatted two majestic lions that looked like they were made of cast brass.

"Wow! Is there such a place in the old city?" Miranda exclaimed.

Gale was confused: "You don't know this place?"

Miranda: "Yes, in order to participate in the training and study of the Crusaders, I have only been able to come back briefly during my holidays over the years. I could rest at home for a few days, go to the trading area, or go for a walk in the Shelter Plain. The vacation is almost over.”

"This place should have been newly built in recent years."

"If such a beautiful and beautiful place existed a long time ago, there's no way I wouldn't know about it!"

Gale nodded thoughtfully.

Until now, he has not told Miranda and the Warrens about his suspicions about the Gilded Club's so-called investment. After all, it was all just speculation on his part.

With the god-like investment record of Monger's richest man, maybe the other party really has some unique magic gifted to him by the God of Wealth?

But there is one thing that makes Gale a little confused:

The Gilded Club doesn't seem to be very popular.

To be precise, it should be that this place is not as lively as Gale imagined, with people coming and going, the sound of gold coins clanking, and the smell of wealth floating in the air.

When in Greenport, any Caron United Savings branch is bustling when it's open.

Those who come to withdraw money, those who come to deposit money, those who come to remit money, those who come to pay back money...

People of all races and ethnicities go to Caron United Savings to dispose of their wealth and savings.

This gilded club in the old city is different. Although its door is open, no one comes in or out.

Gale sensitively noticed that people from the royal capital who passed by seemed to look at the Gilt Club with envy, but had no intention of entering.

"Something doesn't seem right?"

Gale scratched his head hesitantly.

According to Mr. Vance and what he heard in Green Harbor, as long as the gold coins are handed over to the Gilt Club, you can get 8% of the income every year.

People should flock to it, right?

The savings you have at home will not increase out of thin air, and you will also face the risk of being stolen by thieves. As long as you are not in a hurry to use the money, you can "deposit" it in a gilt club and wait for the money to become more. Well?

This is an 8% return.

Mr. Vance invested 20 gold coins, which has turned into nearly 30 gold coins five years later, which is equivalent to nearly half of his wealth increasing out of thin air.

If we can wait another five years, this number will expand to more than 43 gold coins, which is equivalent to doubling our wealth!

You don't have to do anything, just wait patiently for 10 years, and your wealth will double. Is there anything better than this?

Even if it has an investment threshold of 20 gold coins, it is not a big problem.

This is the capital of Starosh, the most prosperous place.

In addition to basic living expenses, local citizens can save at least 1 to 2 gold coins every year if they don't spend extra money.

Unlike the poor farmers and townspeople struggling to make ends meet in the eastern border, you can make more money here and live a better life.

20 gold coins should be something that quite a few citizens of the capital can afford with a little effort.

With doubts, Gale took Miranda's hand and walked into the door of the Gilded Club.

The first floor of the building is a spacious and magnificent hall with some potted plants and decorations. On the wall at the end hangs a commemorative gold coin that has been magnified many times, and it also has the words "L.G".

Gale now knows the meaning of these two letters.

"L" is the first letter of Lord Monger's name "Lune";

"G" is the first letter of the gold coin;

The two together can be understood as "Lune's Way of Wealth".

"Hello, welcome to the Gilded Club!"

A young woman in a slim-fitting uniform was in charge of reception in the lobby. When she saw Gale and Miranda, she immediately came up to them.

"Excuse me?"
