Chapter 283 - Banknote Issuance (4)

Most of the benches used in the temple for worshippers to rest while praying to the goddess have been removed, and only a few rows remain.

The statue of the goddess of wealth is still there, but before the statue, it has been isolated by a layer of glass, and under the glass, there is a row of counters.

Standing outside the temple, even if the sun is shining on his body, he is wearing a thick suit, but because this winter is particularly cold, and the same is true in the Sad Wind Collar, Leon still feels cold when he stands at the door of the temple.

But after entering the temple, a wave of warmth came from head to toe, making Leon feel warm in this cold winter, as if he had suddenly moved from 'harsh winter' to 'early summer'.

Because of this warmth, Leon involuntarily unbuttoned his clothes, and then he realized that this was not his hallucination - it was real!

'I'm afraid this is some kind of magic, isn't it?'

Leon remembered the relationship between Lady Fortune and the head maid, and even the first to sixth floors of the towering 'Mage Tower' were given to Lady Fortune by the head maid, and it would be funniest if the two of them had nothing to do with each other.

The counter in front of the statue of the goddess looked instantly recognizable, as they had attached a piece of paper to the glass with numbers from one to six, which even a person like Leon could read.

However, it is a little puzzling that it is not the 'traditional numerals' that are used here, but the 'Arabic numerals' that the head maid brought.

While this kind of number is convenient and intuitive, it is awkward in Leon's eyes.

As a businessman, he has become accustomed to using 'traditional numbers', and it is unlikely that he will be able to change his habits all at once.

But he was already trying his best to get used to it, because he was not alone in discovering the superiority of such numbers, and the mere fact that 'easy to calculate' and 'simple' were enough to exhaust and painstakingly learn how to use them.

'Traditional numbers' are too cumbersome to calculate, and without the calculation of the calculator himself, it is difficult for others to understand the arrangement of the large numbers of the 'traditional numbers', and even the calculator himself may forget them.

With such a strange mentality, Leon led the two workers to the 'service counter' on the right side of the templeβ€”so said the priest here!

"Hello, sir, do you want to handle any business?"

Compared to the past, the Temple of Fortune is now very deserted, and there are basically not many people who come here except for the priests of the Wealth Church itself.

After that 'talk', the number of believers in Lady Fortune suddenly decreased considerably, and those who chose to continue believing in Lady took to heart what Lady had said.

They believe in the lady herself, not a statue!

Leon was so impressed by this that he had only become a believer in the lady after that 'speech', so he understood why the temple of wealth was suddenly deserted.

The lady didn't need them to worship the statue, she just needed them to be able to pray to her, to keep their faith in her, and not to donate any money to the church - in fact, after that, many people spontaneously donated some of their wealth to the Fortune Church, which was very rare in the Fortune Church before.

After all, most people who choose to believe in the goddess of wealth do not maintain too much faith in it, which also leads to the fact that they are unlikely to donate to the church 'autonomously'.

"May the lady always shine like a jewel!"

Standing in front of the 'service counter', Leon asked the two workers to put down the wooden box for the time being, and faced the two priests sitting behind the counter, and specially praised the goddess of wealth in front of them.

"May you find the golden sand in the long river. ”

"May you find three gold coins on the side of the road. ”

As soon as Leon heard this, he understood which faction the two pastors belonged to in the church.

The one on the left, 'I hope he can find the sands', is a pioneer, and the one on the right is a steady.

As for why it is 'three gold coins', it is because a certain big merchant found three gold coins on the side of the road, and then relied on his own ingenuity and steady work, and in 30 years, his worth has multiplied, and he has become a big merchant, and he has also become the Holy Spirit of the goddess of wealth, and he still lives in the 'golden garden'.

"Two, I'm here to exchange for 'Tia', the lady at the door asked me to come here, may I ask ......"

It was none of his business to which the two priests belonged to each other, and the issue of paper money was enjoyed by all the clergy of the Fortune Church, and there was no disagreement between the clergy of the two factions on this matter.

The two priests looked at each other and pouted imperceptibly, and the priest on the left picked up a ...... 'form' and a piece of paper that presumably was some kind of 'numbered list' from the paper next to him.

"Sir, are you literate?"

After hearing the priest's question, Leon looked at ease and shook his head, "I can't read. ”

"Hmm......" The priest picked up the pen on the side, dipped it in ink, and asked, "Name, age, whether there is a chamber of commerce or caravan, what is the name of the chamber of commerce or caravan to which it belongs, and where is the headquarters established." ”

A series of questions came out of the priest's mouth, and Leon, who was holding his breath, was stunned for a moment.

β€œ...... Wait, do you need to fill it out?"

After holding it for a long time, Leon asked stubbornly, for he didn't know if he would upset the two priests by doing so.

"Yes, it's all required. ”

But unlike Leon's imagination, the two priests not only did not get angry, but patiently explained to him: "Names and ages are necessary, because we must have some basic information about the people who handle the business, so that we can sort it out in the future." And the problem with caravans and chambers of commerce is that some chambers of commerce and caravans have similar names, and it is easy to get confused when sorting out and classifying, so this is also a must. ”

"Uh, well...... then"

Leon breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect these two pastors to be so kind.

Then, he said the information one by one, and asked the pastor to fill it in slowly.

"Alright. ”

The priest who helped him fill out the business application form blew the ink that had not dried, and handed the 'numbering list' to Leon, "Please take your numbering list and application form, you can go and wait first, we will notify you when it is time." ”

Leon took the application form and the numbering list with both hands, and was about to go to the bench to sit down and rest for a while, when he suddenly saw the pastor's hand wave in the air, and a ...... 'golden mirror' about the size of a piece of paper appeared in the air in front of him?

Leon didn't know what it was, it looked a little unreal, but he could be touched by the priest, and the priest seemed to write something on it.

Not only Leon, but even the two somewhat tired workers could not help but be refreshed at the sight of this scene, but they glanced at their mercenary and found that he did not move, but only lifted the box again in disappointment.

Leon suppressed his curiosity this time, and sat on the bench with two sheets in his hand, his eyes glancing over there again, but the thing that looked like a 'golden mirror' disappeared again, which also made him feel a little lost in his heart.

"Customer No. 5, customer with the number 5 list, please come to counter No. 5. ”

Leon was immersed in his thoughts, but was suddenly startled by the sudden sound.

Panicked and stood up, then looked left and right, but didn't notice where the voice was coming from.

It wasn't until the voice sounded again that Leon looked down at his rank again.

I can't read the other words, but the ...... is written on them. I should be 'Five', right?

With apprehension, Leon came to the idle 'Counter Five' and put up the numbering list, "Excuse me, am I 'Five'?"

"Yes, sir, you may be seated. ”

With excitement, Leon, who had a dry mouth, carefully sat down on the chair in front of the counter.

"Uh, hello, I'm here to exchange for 'Tia'......"
