Don't call me evil god

Chapter 625 Withdrawing Money
The next day.

According to Mr. Vance's recollection, a branch of the Gilded Club was located in the old town.

Gail and Miranda walked through the winding 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, so she no longer needed Gail to use that clumsy method to explore the way step by step.

"Look over there! There are some apricot trees there. When I was a kid, I was very curious about what the apricots tasted like, but I wasn't tall enough to pick them."

As Miranda walked, she introduced to Gale the appearance of the royal city in her memory.

"I just keep waiting until the apricots are ripe and fall from the tree to the ground. Then I can pick them up and taste them."

Miranda said, pouting and looking aggrieved: "Apricots are sour!"

“Very sour!”

"It was different from the apricots my father bought at the market. It looked delicious, but it didn't taste sweet at all. It almost made my teeth fall out! And I was just losing my teeth at that time."

Gale laughed out loud.

He had done similar stupid things as a child before.

"I'm different from you. My grandfather's manor specially arranged for people to plant apricot trees. I later learned that those apricots were not picked and eaten, but were used to squeeze out juice as a material for refining a magic potion to awaken the spirit."

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

"After the servants had finished picking the fruits, I was very curious and grabbed a handful from their basket. I took a bite and the taste was amazing!"

“It’s sour and bitter!”

"Potion making is truly magical. It is made up of various seemingly unrelated ingredients, but when added in a specific order and quantity, it can be transformed into a potion with magical effects under the effect of voodoo magic."

"In fact, I still don't understand why the Awakening God and Demon Pharmacology requires seven drops of wild apricot juice."

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

Therefore, even though people could be heard discussing topics such as "Heroes of the Kingdom" from time to time on the street, those passers-by in the capital did not realize that the main subject of their topic had just passed them by.

……

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

The brick and stone structure has a specially painted exterior wall that appears very smooth and beautiful, unlike some old-style houses in the old city, whose walls are full of holes as if they had been gnawed by a dog.

The upper floors all have large transparent glass window panels, the roof has been extended, and the outer side of the protruding eaves is dotted with sparkling crystals. If it is at night, this place should be more conspicuous.

In front of the door squatted two lions that looked like they were made of molten brass, looking very imposing.

"Wow! There is such a place in the old town?" Miranda exclaimed.

Gale wondered, "You don't know this place?"

Miranda: "Yes, in order to participate in the training and study of the Crusaders, I can only come back briefly during the holidays. I rest at home for a few days, go to the trade zone, or take a walk in the Sanctuary Plains. The holiday is almost over."

“This place should have been newly built in recent years.”

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

Gail nodded thoughtfully. Until now, he had not told Miranda and the Warrens about his doubts about the so-called investment in the Gilded Club. After all, all this was just his speculation.

With the god-like investment record of the richest man Monger, maybe he really has some unique magic bestowed upon him by the God of Wealth?
But there was one thing that made Gale a little confused:
The Gilded Club doesn't seem to be very popular.

To be precise, this place is not as lively as Gail imagined, with people coming and going, the sound of gold coins colliding, and the smell of wealth in the air.

When in Greenport, any branch of Carron's United Savings was always busy when it was open.

Come to withdraw money, come to deposit money, come to remit money, come to repay money...

People of all races and backgrounds go to Karon to manage their wealth and savings.

The Gilded Club in the old town was different. Although its door was open, no one went in or out.

Gail sensitively noticed that the people from the royal capital who passed by here seemed to look at the Gilded Club with envy, but had no intention of going in.

"Something seems wrong?"

Gale scratched his head hesitantly.

According to Mr. Vance and what he heard in Greenport, as long as the gold coins are handed over to the Gilded Club, an 8% return can be obtained every year.

People should flock to it, right?
Keeping your savings at home will not increase out of thin air, and there is also the risk of them being stolen by thieves. As long as you are not in a hurry to use the money, isn't it better to "deposit" it in the Gilded Club and wait for the money to become more?

That’s an 8% return.

Mr. Vance invested 20 gold coins, and after 5 years it had turned into nearly 30 gold coins, which means that his wealth had increased by nearly half out of thin air.

If you can wait another 5 years, this number will expand to more than 43 gold coins, which is equivalent to doubling your 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 though it has an investment threshold of 20 gold coins it is not a big problem.

This is the royal capital, Starosh, the most economically prosperous place.

Apart from 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 eastern frontier where there are impoverished farmers and townspeople struggling to make ends meet, here you can make more money and live a better life.

20 gold coins, I think quite a few citizens of the royal capital could come up with that if they gritted their teeth.

With doubts in his heart, Gail took Miranda's hand and walked into the door of the Gilded Club.

The first floor of the building is a spacious and imposing hall, decorated with 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 word "LG" on it.

Gail now knew what the two letters meant.

"L" is the first letter of Lord Monger's name, "Lune";
"G" is the first letter of the gold coin;
The two combined can be understood as meaning something similar to "Rune's Way to 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 Gail and Miranda, she immediately came over to greet them.

"can I help you?"
