"You are right, those things that look like dolls are actually living creatures, and those miniature manors are also real manors." After picking up the money bag that fell on the ground and throwing it to Leon, the lazy young man explained: "The True God of the Scale Gold Sect is a very pragmatic god. Although he also likes the faith offered by humans, he prefers believers to practice their own ideas than believers to kneel down and kowtow. To put it simply, it is 'wealth' Things like 'exchange' 'value' and 'commercial behavior'. Therefore, the gathering of the Scale Metal Sect is not so much a gathering as a trade fair with no taboos. Believers and congregants who believe in the true God will come here to buy and sell what they can trade, which is regarded as a kind of alternative prayer. And everyone invited to enter the gathering will receive a temporary money bag, which contains Holding a large amount of conceptual currency for shopping. " “Conceptual currency?” "It's just...well...this is a bit troublesome to explain. How about you open this purse and I'll give you an example." "Ah, okay." Following the method taught by Senior Tom, he reached out and touched the cat's paw badge on his chest, and then touched the same emblem on the seal of the money bag. The money bag in Leon's hand opened on its own, revealing a bunch of colorful and strange items inside. currency. "Huh, your 'property' is really quite a lot!"
After coming over to look at Lyon's bulging money bag, the lazy young man raised his eyebrows in surprise, then pointed to the golden coin on the top and said: "Look here, the front of these conceptual currencies has patterns such as hearts, swords, Holy Grails, crosses, and tarot cards, which respectively represent emotions, strength, health, faith, secrets, and other valuable things. For example, the scepter pattern on the front of your coin represents the power that can be traded. The lion on the back of the coin should refer to the lion's heart coat of arms of the Lane family. So if I'm not mistaken, this coin represents your identity as Duke Lionheart, and you can use it to purchase goods in the Assembly Square if you wish. And whoever gets this currency can replace you and become the Lion-Hearted Duke of the kingdom... This is what I mean by 'conceptual currency'. " What? ! After listening to the lazy young man's words, Leon couldn't help being surprised, and then asked with disbelief: "Can the Scale of Gold Cult even do such a thing?" "Of course they can." The lazy young man raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't underestimate the power of wealth. The concept of wealth is not limited to people. It ranges from a nest of ants to a devil in the abyss. Wealth is an important concept for all species with social structures. . Therefore, although the true god of the Scale Gold Sect is not good at fighting and cannot defeat our director in a head-on duel, his status is not low and he can be considered a very powerful true god. It is not difficult for him to do such a thing. " "But... this is already using 'abnormality' to interfere with the kingdom, right? Doesn't our cleanup bureau care about it?" "It must be managed. Transactions at the Duke level are definitely not allowed. But if it is a low-level status transaction with little impact, and the royal family does not come to raise objections, most branches are not very willing to take care of this kind of thing." After opening his wallet and taking a look, the lazy young man dragged Leon towards the center of the square and continued to explain: "The Scales of Gold Sect is a relatively mild sect. Even if it causes trouble, it rarely goes too far, and its ability is very special. It allows the cleaners to easily obtain some useful things, or to repair the lifespan and damage lost during the mission. Limbs and stuff. Therefore, most of the branches turn a blind eye to this sect. Only when they clearly cross the line will they crack down hard and warn them not to go too far. For example, if a fool accepts your coin, and then does not go to the Scales of Gold to exchange it, but wants to use it himself, if he becomes the Lion-Hearted Duke, the Scales of Gold will be in bad luck... Oh, by the way, is there anything you want? As long as it's not too expensive, I can buy it for you. "
What you want...wait! Aren't we here to save people? Why are you still shopping? … "Senior Tom!" Faced with the sudden shopping proposal from the lazy young man, Leon, who was worried about Emma's safety, couldn't help but remind him softly: "Senior Emma's danger has not been resolved yet, and we don't know how long she can survive under the snake spirit. Wouldn't it be better for us to go find her first?" "Don't worry, we are looking for her now." After raising his hand and pointing towards the Colosseum-like building in the center of the square, the lazy young man lowered his head to select the products on the shelves and explained without moving his lips: "Have you seen that hollow ring-shaped building? Our current location is only on the periphery of the Scale Gold Sect assembly hall. That is the core area of the assembly hall, and only there is the possibility of trapping Emma. The badges we got are just the most basic believer badges. We need to complete enough 'consumption' in the periphery. Only after these two badges are promoted can we be qualified to enter the core area, so buying things is equivalent to being in the core area. Find her. " In the surprised expression of the roadside stall merchant, after buying most of the messy things on the stall, the lazy young man turned back and smiled at Leon, and then comforted him in a gentle tone: "I know you have a good relationship with Emma, so I'm worried for her, but you'd better not be anxious yet. Although I am also a first-level cleaner, I am not the type with outstanding combat power like Emma. Most of the abnormal objects I hold are functional. I have almost no frontal combat capabilities, and I do not have the ability to kill the Holy Spirit under siege. So it’s best for us not to act rashly at the moment, but to retain this identity, and sneak into the core area of the assembly hall without disturbing the senior leaders of the Scale Metal Sect as much as possible... Come on, you go choose things first, and then I will help you Payment. " "Okay... But senior, you pick the things, and I'll pay for them!" After thinking about the meaning of the currencies in the wallet, Leon suggested: "To me, this duke status is of little value. If you, senior, need to use currency such as health or strength to buy something here, it would be better for me to pay, so as not to affect your future performance, senior. ” "No need, I can't use up all my money!" After giving Leon a surprised look, the lazy young man shook his head and rejected his proposal, then opened his money bag and showed it to Leon. Damn it, why are there so many? ! ! ! "I was already prepared before we walked in." Under Leon's surprised gaze, the lazy young man with a mountain of coins in his wallet said with a confident look on his face: "Do you still remember the ceremony I held before entering the door? The group using copper weights, small silver mirrors and two gold teeth as the main materials is a secret ritual of wealth called the 'Law of the Balance'. From the moment the secret ritual takes full effect, the next person who gives me money will have her property divided equally with mine, and the next person who gives me money happens to be the badge made by the cat spirit of the Scales of Gold Sect. So during the three hours that the law of balance lasts, the wealth of the cat spirit of the Scales and Gold Sect will be at my disposal. If I were not worried about being discovered if I took too much, we could even buy everything here! "
