Mysterious, but Naruto

Louis went to the bank in person because he needed to open a bank account.

The Kingdom of Rune has identity cards and certificates, so these documents are required when opening an account.

However, it was not difficult for Louis. He first had everyone drive to the police station in the West End, and then produced two blank sheets of paper out of thin air, saying that he wanted to change the information.

To everyone else, however, these were Louis's original identity card and household registration documents.

Since the information was complete and the address was changed to a detached villa in the West District, it was clear that the person was a big spender, and the police processed the case very quickly.

With these newly issued ID cards, opening a bank account becomes very simple.

Louis was accompanied by three male servants when he traveled, and their attire also contributed to this.

Therefore, as soon as I arrived at the bank, I was invited by the bank staff to the VIP room for a detailed discussion.

When the foreman learned that Louis was going to deposit nine thousand pounds in one go, he turned around and went out to find the manager.

These big clients are always served by dedicated staff.

The rest of the process went very smoothly. The only thing that bothered him was when he was asked to write down his full name.

When Louis was working at the police station, he gave himself a new surname, and his full name became Louis Hermite.

He hadn't prepared anything since it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but now that he was sitting in the bank, he figured he might as well make the disguise even more convincing since he'd already given himself a fake surname.

So he hid his left hand in his pocket, actually reaching directly into the spatial rift, and used the remaining gold dust to make a seal.

The design on the stamp is a withered tree trunk. If you look closely, you can see the letters H and L in the Rune language on the trunk.

This seal, however, could be used to verify Louis's false name.

In fact, the bank manager did not pay any attention to Louis's name; after confirming that it was not a noble name, he focused his attention on the seal.

Having dealt with coins for many years, he could tell at a glance that the seal was made of gold.

Although the inability to handle it prevents them from confirming whether it is pure gold or gilded, it at least demonstrates the other party's extravagance.

Considering that he deposited nine thousand gold pounds in one go, he decided to treat it as a pure gold seal.

Instantly, Louis's image became even more opulent in the eyes of the other party.

"Manager Summers, I need to write a check for £3437..."

After depositing the money, Louis immediately began to allocate it, taking out 500 gold pounds in banknotes in addition to the funds for purchasing the house.

Louis now only has £5063 left in his account, and he's not used to this amount.

"Goodness, I'm actually quite wealthy now, but looking at this figure of just over five thousand in my account, it just feels so awkward."

Oh, I see. It would be much better if it were displayed as a penny.

Louis did a quick calculation and found that it amounted to more than 1.2 million pence. He immediately felt it made sense, but after glancing at the number in his account, he was quite disdainful of it.

Louis immediately felt that banks didn't know how to do business and should display funds in the account in two ways.

One approach is the current method, which allows people to intuitively understand how much money they have. The other approach is to display the total amount in per cent, making it more pleasant for homeowners to view.

Louis felt that if a bank did this, all else being equal, he would definitely choose that bank to deposit his money, not to mention that it would make him feel better.

Knowing that Audrey's father was a banker, Louis did not voice his thoughts directly, but planned to tell Audrey when he saw her later.

After doing all this, Louis, surrounded by three male servants, boarded the carriage and returned to his mansion.

When Louis returned, the owner of the Reims House Rental Company had already arrived and had been waiting in the meeting room for a while.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, Mr. Lance. Please have a seat."

"Mr. Louis, you're too kind. I was simply earlier than the agreed time."

The butler had already reviewed the contract that Lance brought over and hadn't found any problems with it.

After reviewing it again from beginning to end, Louis signed his name at the end and stamped it with his seal.

Out of caution, Louis did not forget to affix a seal across the seam to prevent the middle pages from being removed or altered.

The contract was made in duplicate, and then the butler, on behalf of Louis, went with the owner of the property, Lance, to change the owner of the title deed.

These two actions today, each involving thousands of pounds, were not only necessary for Louis to deal with, but also a way to test these new recruits.

After all, they had only met for less than a day, and there was no real trust between them.

After this incident, the two sides were able to establish initial trust.

As for whether they might conspire to abscond with the money, let's set aside the fact that this money was actually made from gold dust that Louis had casually scooped from the river over the past two days.

Aside from labor costs, there are no other costs. If he wanted to, he wouldn't need two more days; he could remelt so many gold pounds in just five hours.

These people already bear Louis's mark, so if he wanted them to, none of them could escape.

The butler returned just before lunch started, and Louis was filled with emotion as he looked at the property certificate.

Thinking back on how much effort he had put in to save up for the down payment and how he had made timely monthly payments, he was then faced with a price drop, which caused him to lose more than 300,000 yuan in one go.

But now, in just two days, he has bought a house outright and even has the means to hire a large group of servants.

"well……"

Although his current life seems far more affluent than his past, he would still prefer to go back if he could.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that he, a PC user, can't go online or play computer games is enough to make him miserable.

The problem is that there aren't even any electric lights here, because he intends to hide his abilities from others, so he can only use kerosene lamps or similar means of lighting.

Fortunately, Louis is not easily bothered by the outside temperature now, otherwise the lack of air conditioning would have made him even more uncomfortable.

In reality, the reason Louis felt uncomfortable with his current life was not because of the technological gap between the two worlds, but because Louis's own morality constrained many of his actions.

If he truly abandons all his morals, he will discover that in such an era, with such abilities, the life he can live is far beyond his current imagination.

Louis took the deed upstairs to the second floor, saying he would put it in the study, but in reality he directly put it into the spatial rift.

When he came downstairs again, lunch was served.

Compared to the elaborate dinner and hearty breakfast, this lunch seemed rather light.

It's a sandwich with ham, cold beef, cucumber, and cheese.

The reason for this is that, according to custom, the owner is usually not at home at noon, either working outside, patrolling the estate, or hunting.

This makes cold foods like sandwiches very convenient.

Louis only felt somewhat stingy eating cold food at home because he didn't need to work, and besides this property, he had no other businesses and didn't need to go out on inspections.

Louis returned to the second floor and locked himself in his study again, telling Hayes and the others not to disturb him before afternoon tea.

His main consideration was that today was Monday, and 3 p.m. was the time for the "Fool" to convene the "banquet".

Based on my previous two experiences, it usually starts at three o'clock and lasts for about half an hour.

Afternoon tea time is at four o'clock, which is just enough time.

Sitting in his study, Louis wasn't idle. He figured Audrey would be looking for him later, so he might as well put the chakra attribute test on the agenda.

In this matter, Louis could confirm the other party's chakra attribute simply by placing his hand on them or even by carefully sensing their chakra.

But he considered one thing: if he wanted to become stronger, there were only a few ways.

One reason is to plant trees that bear fruit, and then eat the fruit.

The second is something similar to creating immortal techniques, which involves using the energy of this world to create another new power.

As for the third option, it's to have more people cultivate chakra, and then absorb their chakra.

All the chakra in this world originated from the dimensional cleavage created by Otsutsuki Shibai, and it was only after Louis provided Audrey with the seed that the chakra truly blossomed in this world.

After that, the others who wanted to cultivate chakra either obtained the seed from Louis or from Audrey.

Regardless of which method is used, it means that the other party's chakra bears the mark left by him.

Just as Kaguya Otsutsuki could reclaim all the chakra in the ninja world, Louis could do the same.

Even Shiba Inu's control over chakra was better than Kaguya's.

By then, Louis couldn't possibly test everyone's chakra attributes one by one, so having an item or method to check chakra attributes became extremely urgent.

Louis knew how to make chakra test strips, but the problem was the lack of materials containing chakra.

For him, it's actually quite simple; he can produce a batch of them at any time.

But as I said before, he can't rely on himself alone, so he needs to find a method that can be widely adopted.

He now happens to have the time to do this, and he also has the ability to do so.

To fit the environment, Louis casually picked up an ordinary item from his study.

It was a very ordinary brass bookend with carved details, which was just right for the current situation.

Louis divided the front of the book stand into seven equal parts, and then used sealing techniques to seal a different type of chakra in each of the seven areas.

Combined with sealing techniques and the inherent connectivity between chakra, an instrument capable of detecting all seven attributes was created.

Louis reached out and injected a wisp of chakra into the central area, and the next moment the surrounding areas lit up.

"Great, it's done. Now they can use it as a template to create new testing tools."

Thinking of this, Louis suddenly paused, because he remembered something: ordinary people probably don't have the ability to refine chakra of both yin and yang attributes separately.

So Louis casually picked up another mirror and made another attribute testing tool in the same way, but this time it was divided into five areas and could only test the five attributes of wind, fire, thunder, earth and water.

"Okay, that's settled. The full version allows us to test all attributes, while the stripped-down version is better for production."

When Louis first created it, he thought that he could use any item to fit into this world.

But now, looking at these two items in front of me, they just seem like an eyesore.

"Sigh... At least I made them myself. If they really become popular in the future, then they will be considered sacred objects or divine artifacts."

"These two sacred objects are a bit too much to bear."

After hesitating for two minutes, Louis waved his hand and destroyed the seal, absorbing the chakra inside.

Louis took out the jewelry he had previously retrieved from the river from his spatial storage.

They weren't needed before, but now it's time for them to come in handy.

"Let me see... Hmm, these are just right, these are the ones!"

Louis melted down several pieces of jewelry and recast them into two mirrors.

One of the two mirrors is inlaid with five gemstones around its perimeter, while the other is inlaid with seven pearls of different colors.

It was fortunate that Louis had a large quantity of jewelry; otherwise, he would have had a hard time finding so many gems and pearls of suitable color and size.

Moreover, Louis added some extravagant and impractical seals to the original functional seals.

Now, as long as chakra is injected into the mirror, the gems or pearls of the corresponding attribute color will light up.

One thing to know is that jewelry also has a shelf life. Pearls, for example, will not only lose their luster and color over time, but they will also become damp and swell, eventually crumbling into pieces.

Even inorganic gemstones, such as diamonds, will lose their luster if they are exposed to oil for a long time due to their strong affinity for oleophilic substances.

Therefore, in order to make these two items truly become revered sacred objects.

Louis added a seal that would prevent the mirror itself from oxidizing and the jewelry from changing by consuming a small amount of chakra.

Because the amount of chakra required to maintain this seal is very small, the remaining chakra is sufficient as long as it is used periodically to test chakra properties.

The next moment, Louis felt a connection; it was Audrey contacting him through the bracelet.

After sensing the surroundings of Audrey, Louis himself disappeared from the study and appeared in front of her.

However, Louis is slightly different now than before; his figure is illusory and semi-transparent.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Rokudo! It's almost time."

"Good afternoon. It's nothing. Just act as usual and don't show anything unusual. I'll disappear in a bit, so don't worry."

"Yes."

Meanwhile, the "Fool," residing in the gray palace, was also preparing to convene a meeting.

He stretched out his right hand and pointed at the two "deep red" stars in the gray mist that he had a faint connection with.
