The first look at the "Financial Systems of All Countries"

The location of the Wojin Temple is easy to find, because it is the tallest building in the entire Ogaros City... It is taller than the city lord's mansion and higher than other temples [bsp;   The whole body is made of crystal clear "gold stones". In the sun, it is like a shining mountain of gold.

"Goldstone" is a kind of stone similar to marble. Because its texture looks very similar to gemstones, after polishing, the surface is smooth, translucent, and glorious, and very strong, so it has become a noble among building materials.

Although it looks like a gem, due to the texture, the gold stone is mixed with a large amount of flocculent impurities. Only after polishing can it show a beautiful appearance. In addition, the yield is quite large, so it can only be reduced to "the gems among stones, the stone among gems."

But don’t think that gold and stone are really cheap like stones. A piece of gold and stone brick that is two feet long, one foot wide, and half a foot thick is worth 5 gold coins. It can be said to be one of the most expensive materials among building materials.

It is not wrong to say that a whole tall temple made of gold is cast, but gold is not the most expensive temple.

The gallery columns carved from white fat stone, the sky board inlaid with blue star stone

, the whole wall of iridescent marble, the floor paved with black crystal... The walls, the sky boards are covered with exquisite and complex luxury decorations, various precious metals and gems, piled up like garbage on these materials that are expensive enough. The light folded in the sun makes people want to cover their eyes and shout: "I'm blinding my titanium alloy dog ​​eyes."

Standing in front of the Temple of Wojin, Wutong and others looked up at the Lokba-style temple for a long time, but the players passing by just laughed kindly, because every player who arrived in Ogaros City for the first time had this reaction. It was good for Wutong and the others to be dazed like this. Some players were crazy about wanting to pry off a floor tiles or dismantle a railing, but many of them were killed by the Knights of the Temple.

As expected, the most luxurious building is always the bank, and it is inevitable in games like "Endless". Under the gorgeous decorations on the surface, the entire temple is actually an unbreakable fortress. It is said to be stronger than the treasures owned by many kings... Of course, this has to be done, to prevent it from being robbed.

Someone has said that the biggest enemy of the Wojin Temple is not thieves, robbers and robbers, but the dragons that fly over the Wojin Temple cannot resist the yu-who they want to rob the building. Therefore, the Wojin Platinum emblem, as big as a tower shield, is constantly blessed with a series of magic spells to defend against any kind of dragon, even a lizard-like creature standing upright at the highest point of the Wojin Temple, has always blessed with dragon-proofing spirits, dragon-avoiding techniques, dragon-clan ignorance techniques, and other series of magic spells to defend against any kind of dragon. Even creatures that look like lizards dare not approach here.

"No one can break through the defense of the Wojin Temple, so no one can rob the Wojin Temple - even gods cannot do it, let alone dragons."

This is a sentence that the priests of the priests of the Woking NV God often smugly on their lips. Some legends also say that the dragons once complained deeply: "That damn temple is so bad that it's not welcome us, why put such a large piece of platinum coins on the roof?"

The Wojin God Emblem, which is the badge that every member of the Wojin God Cult needs to wear, is actually a currency issued by the Wojin Temple. The front is printed with the left face of the Wojin NV God and the back is printed with the symbol representing money. Usually, this currency is of much higher value than similar currencies and is firm, because all kinds of Wojin currency are minted with the purest metal, which is different from other currencies, which are usually added to several other cheap metals and cast to make the alloy.

It is said that all Wojin Temples are in this style, and the Wojin Temple in small town-level buildings such as Ogaros City is just the smallest scale in the Wojin God Cult system.

In front of the Wojin Temple, there is also a square with a large number of ornate sculptures erected... It refers to the kind of sculpture that makes people feel that their artistic appearance will not be felt, but will only produce robbery. In the center of the square, there is a large piece of giant gold casting of gold inlaid on the ground.

How old?

Not too big, it's just a radius of hundreds of yards.

Without saying a word, Wutong used this huge golden cake as a sign of setting up a teleportation point. She felt comfortable even if she stepped on this thing, although it was a bit embarrassing to step on the left face of the nv god.

Accompanied by a white light, Wutong returned to the Wojin Temple with two wooden boxes filled with valuables, which not only caused some players to exclaim, but also alarmed the priest of the Wojin Temple.

“Distinguished guest.”

A priest wearing a luxurious silk shirt, leather sleeves and short boots inlaid with gold thread, a clip-on glasses made of crystal on his nose, a golden holy crown inlaid with gems on his head, and a heavy golden cloak on his shoulder appeared in front of Wutong with a smile because the light of the temple was too dazzling, Wutong didn't even see how he came.

Wutong looked straight at the golden cloak. It looked like it was woven from blood-red velvet and gold thread. What a good guy, I probably used several pounds of gold thread alone? How heavy should this be? No wonder the wind doesn't float...

The problem is that the priest did not pay any attention to the heavy weight on the cloak, decorated with thousands of sequins made of various expensive metals. When the light shone, he seemed to be shrouded in a layer of golden light.

"Being the priest of the God of Wojin, you must have good physical strength..." Wutong came back to her senses and found that there was a hand wearing a snow-white pegasus glove in front of her. She quickly reached out to shake him, but found that the other person was holding a scepter with golden light shining all over the other hand. At the top of the scepter was inlaid with a golden gem as big as a baby fist, which was spread out.

o* Strong Ao energy.

The pastor bowed politely and smiled brilliantly, saying, "I am Grant Tigonki of Ogaros City, the Temple of Wojin, a bronze emblem priest of the God of Wojin. Do you need my help? As a believer of Wojin, I am happy to serve you."

Wutong looked at Pastor Grant's smile like a most professional banker. She was stunned for a long time before she realized it. She looked at the two large wooden boxes under her feet and said, "Well, we came from Shell Village, and on the commission of Sir Luca Dick, to come to the Woking Temple to exchange for some higher-value currencies..."

"Oh? Is it? Wojin welcomes you. Please come with me. I will take you to the temple exchange office." Pastor Grant cordially led Wutong and the others to enter the temple. Wutong sighed that the service attitude of Wojin Temple was very good, and planned to lift a wooden box with Wu, while the other one was responsible for half a cigarette and Baiyuanfenghuā.

"Oh, how can such heavy work be taken care of by distinguished guests?"

Pastor Grant exclaimed, and without waiting for his order, two gold canned gods appeared in front of them without anyone noticing. Wutong guessed that the armor worn by the two Templar Knights must be not pure gold, unless they were robots.

Almost used snatching, the two temple knights who snatched two large wooden boxes from Wutong and the others, held the rough box solemnly, followed Wutong and the others tightly, stepped on the left face of Wujinn V God.

Stepping on the steps of the golden carvings in front of the Wojin Temple, Wutong and others were even more amazed at the magnificence of the Wojin Temple... This is not an adjective for sighing, but a "narrative word" used to state facts, and a real "glory of gold coins".

Before entering the temple, Pastor Grant suddenly stopped, turned around and smiled to face Wutong and others: "Dear guests, please pay attention to your feet."

Wutong and the others looked down in surprise and saw that on the ground not far from the temple, they used golden lines as thick as their fingers to draw gorgeous runes. In the middle of the runes, there was a long and slender gap, which was exactly the same width as the temple's big one.

Seeing Wutong and others expressing suspicious expressions, Pastor Grant smiled and explained: "This gap is called the 'Wojin's Golden Canyon'. Every person entering the temple will put a currency into it... no matter what kind of currency it is, to express his respect for the NV God. Similarly, I hope that after doing this, you will cross this 'Wojin's Golden Canyon'."

Wutong and the others sweated for a while, so they had to take out a copper coin and throw it into the gap. They didn't want to throw anything else, and they only had copper coin on them.

Whenever a copper coin falls into the "Golden Gorge of Gold", a melodious and pleasant sound of "Ding" will be heard inside, and then it spreads throughout the temple, as if the golden light shrouded in the temple will become more dazzling.

Although Wutong and the others only invested in copper coins, Pastor Grant's smile became more and more friendly, as if he was very happy that Wutong and others were willing to express respect to the God of Wojin. But Wutong didn't know that it was because of the fact that he remembered some ancient temples, "merit box" painted with red paint.

As soon as he entered the Wojin Temple, Wutong felt that his eyes could not be opened. There was a long, completely golden counter at the entrance. A row of clergymen dressed like Pastor Grant were looking at them with a kind smile on their faces. In order to show respect, they even stood up and bowed slightly. This treatment made Wutong and his party feel flattered.

"So, let's take a look at the valuables you intend to exchange for currency. Please rest assured that we have professional appraisers responsible for evaluating their value for you. In addition, we have notified the messenger of the Shell Village, Mr. Ben Davao, who will be here soon."

Pastor Grant warmly greeted them to sit down in front of the row of golden counters, and immediately a nvxing priest in golden robe, with a sweet smile, gave each of them a cup of fragrant cocoa.

The pastoral style was very unpromising. On the thick golden metal counter, he secretly poked his nails hard, and then hissed and shook his painful fingers while whispering: "I wipe the counter with pure gold?"

Wutong was a little numb to the wealth of the Wojin Temple. Although the rotating chair under their butt was covered with a soft chair cover and a soft velvet cushion, it could not conceal the fact that the chair was cast in sterling silver.

Everyone comes to the Woking Temple as a great challenge - whether they are in pain and just walk out empty-handed, or do a vote, and then be killed by the Templar Knights.

"Oh? Are you the apprentice of the Trialer who came to Beike Village this time?" A middle-aged man quickly walked into the Woking Temple, which looked like a bank and more like a temple. It seemed that he was what the guard captain Witt said, Mr. Davao, the messenger of Beike Village.

He was dressed very ordinary, and Wutong and the others who couldn't open their eyes because of the golden clothes. When they saw this middle-aged NPC, they didn't know that they were, they actually felt extremely friendly. Facing those dazzling pastors, the psychological pressure was too great. The king was embarrassed to look up in front of them. He was so rich.

"Mr., it seems that the strength of your Shell Village is still so strong, otherwise I can't imagine how these gentlemen passed through the territories of pirates and indigenous barbarians with such huge wealth."

Pastor Grant greeted Ben Davao Courier cordially, pointed to the counter and quickly counted the antiques at the price: "They brought a total of 333 valuable items worth gold coins, so what currency do you plan to exchange for?"

Wutong scratched her head and looked at Mr. Ben: "Mr. Ben, do you have any good suggestions? When we came out, Sir Dick and Captain Witter did not specify how much currency they need to exchange."

"On ordinary standard silver coins are enough. In a short period of time, silver coins should be circulated in the village, which is enough to use... Wait." Mr. Ben suddenly reacted and looked at Pastor Grant with a hellish expression: "How many did you just say they brought?"

"Antiques and art worth 333 gold coins, Mr. Ben." Pastor Grant replied with a smile. Although such a small amount of money was not even considered a slut for them, Woking's teachings allowed them to show their sincerest service in the face of every guest.

Mr. Ben, who had a breath of air conditioning, looked at the innocent Wutong and the others with a surprised look. Pastor Grant may not know, but he knew very well that the so-called entrusted tasks actually require the trialists to pay the task deposit to receive the goods. These trialists have just arrived in Beike Village for less than three days. How did this trialist apprentice accumulate such a huge amount of property in such a short time?

"Have anyone already owned wealth in gold coins?" Ben Davao scratched his head in confusion, thought about it with some headaches, and then said to Pastor Grant: "Then please help us exchange it for 100 gold coins and 20,000 silver coins, the remaining 33 gold coins..."

He paused for a moment, turned to ask Wutong: "According to the agreement, these 33 gold coins will become your reward. It is up to you to decide what kind of denomination currency you plan to exchange for?"

Wutong thought for a while: "30 gold coins, 300 silver coins are ready."

"Here." Pastor Grant took out two small wooden boxes, one big and one small, from behind the counter like a magic trick, pushed them to Wutong, and took out another purse: "This is the change of 33 gold coins prepared for you."

Change... Wutong really wants to stab the golden priest to death, and the gold coins are also called change by him.

Mr. Jiāo gave Wutong a pampered scroll: "This is a certificate of completion of the commission, you can just take this to see Sir Dick."

Wutong, who had received the certificate, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and planned to say goodbye to Pastor Grant. This place should not be kept for a long time, it was too dazzling.

But Pastor Grant stopped Wutong: "Please wait. Since you have handled more than 100 gold coins in our Woking Temple for the first time, according to regulations, you will receive a Woking God Emblem minted in pure gold and have the title of "Honorary Believer". In the future, you will enjoy a 20% discount on any Woking Temple."

Wutong was stunned and knelt. He actually forgot the purpose of this adventure. He came for this honorary believer. With the title of honorary believer, he would only pay 8% of the handling fee regardless of saving money or storing things in the future, which is much cheaper than other players.

"Young man, don't use this gold divine emblem as a gold coin."

Mr. Ben Davao joked: "It's worth a lot more than 100 gold coins."

"100 gold coins?" Wutong was shocked and quickly took the golden god emblem handed over by Pastor Grant... It was actually a gold coin, but the style of the gold coin was more refined and heavier than other ordinary gold coins...

Apart from being a little heavier, Wutong couldn't see why this gold magic emblem is worth 100 gold coins.

Perhaps because he discovered Wutong's suspicion, Mr. Ben was also stunned: "Don't you know the 'Wokjin Currency'... It doesn't seem to be clear about you even if you don't know much about the currency system?"

Wutong is embarrassed, of course I don’t know. I have only entered "Endless" for 3 days, and the only currency I have seen is copper coins. Where do you ask me to go to learn about it? Many of the contents in "Endless" are not even in the official information. I can only wait for the players to slowly discover them in the game, and also call it an increase in the fun of the game.

"Uh...then it seems that Pastor Grant personally explains to you the source of the 'Woking currency' and the system of currencies in various countries."

Mr. Ben looked at Pastor Grant: "He is the most professional financial expert and the most professional currency authenticity identification expert."

Wutong was shocked. There were fake coins in the game???

"If you have time and are interested in learning, I would like to explain to you that popularizing the knowledge of currency is to spread the glory of Wolkin. This is the honor of Grant Tigonki, a believer in Wolkin."

As he said that, Pastor Grant invited everyone to the rest area of ​​the temple, and asked the sweet blonde nv pastor to give everyone a pot of fragrant hot cocoa, and then began to popularize currency knowledge.

After listening for a while, Wutong suddenly realized and looked at the Wojin Divine Emblem in her hand in surprise. No wonder it is worth 100 times that of ordinary gold coins. The Wojin Divine Emblem is cast from "pure gold" in the true sense.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that gold is not pure, and gold does not have absolute pure gold. Even if its purity is as high as 99.999999, it is not pure gold. However, the "Trade and Wealth God" Wu Jin has three priesthoods: trade, money and wealth, among the three priesthoods: "money".

Therefore, any precious metal that can be minted into currency, representing trade, money and wealth, is naturally within the jurisdiction of the priest of God Wojinnv. Her priest, through prayer, can extract the purest elements from the ore and refine it into pure metal. The currency cast by pure metal naturally carries a trace of divine power, which is also called a holy coin.

Holy coins are the only currency that cannot be counterfeited, because once a person holds the holy coins, he will feel the trace of divine power remaining in it and can clearly distinguish the truth from falsehood. This also leads to holy coins becoming the most trusted currency in various countries.

Holy coins are a system, which includes copper coins, silver coins, gold coins... and some more expensive currencies. Each holy coins are a Wojin God Emblem, because they also have the function of currency and can also be circulated. In fact, the Wojin God Emblem is the Wojin currency issued by the Wojin Temple. It is precisely because of the special sacred coins that its value is far 100 times higher than that of other currencies of the same material.

“...As for ordinary gold coins.”

Pastor Grant, who regarded popular currency knowledge as a preacher, seemed to be a little dry and said, picking up the cocoa and sipping it, clicking it, and continuing: "Although every believer in Wokin replaces the currency circulating in any region with Wokin currency as his lifelong purpose, the monetary system of each region is different, and people cannot leave those currencies for the time being."

He said, a handful of coins were magically transformed from somewhere and placed them one by one on the crystal coffee table in the middle of the salon where everyone was sitting: "First of all, let me explain to you the most commonly used standard currency system in all countries outside the Wokjin currency system."

Wutong, half a cigarette, pastoral wind and Xiaoxiao all stretched their necks to see the five eight coins. I don’t know how these coins were maintained, each one was as smooth as new, and it should have used a very special method of preservation, which made them look shining. Only after taking a look with interest, the old god was siping cocoa.

"Overall, standard currencies are supported by a strong national system and are responsible for minting, issuing and circulating currencies with strong financial resources and excellent reputation. Since the minting standards of various countries are basically consistent, they can usually be generalized."

Pastor Grant pointed to the various coins placed densely on the crystal coffee table from top to bottom and said, "The currency you know is probably limited to copper coins, silver coins and gold coins... Well, by the way, there are also bans circulating in small and medium-sized areas of each village, but bans are not standard currency and are not recognized by financial institutions, so let's put it aside for the time being. Let's talk about copper coins first."

Wutong and the others were stunned for a moment. What is there to say about copper coins? Copper coins are copper coins, the smallest denomination currency in "Encounterance". Of course, players call it "game coins".

"You may think that there is only one type of copper coins, but in fact, there are many types of copper coins and different values. The history of the countries can be traced back to very ancient times. The history of many ancient empires even exceeded a thousand years. Moreover, the area of ​​this world is so large that even gods cannot spread their glory to every corner."

Pastor Grant laughed: "So, the copper coins used in every era, every empire, and even every region are different. There is also a proverb joke circulating in some remote villages: Buying rust jars with Bella means using a paper currency called Bella, and jiāo exchanges an iron coins minted with inferior iron blocks, because both are issued and minted by tribal chiefs and down-and-out nobles in barren and remote areas. Because there are too many mintings, their actual value cannot even keep up with the stones on the roadside. People in the area often see sacks of Bella banknotes exchanged for coins that are rusted because of the poor material, and then take them home to melt them into iron blocks to make agricultural tools..."
