Lords go left, Emperors go right

About a month ago, the Black Beast Mercenary Group, to which the Black Rose Avril belonged, accepted a high-priced hunting commission from the slave trader "Smiling Fatty" Maxim, which was posted at the Bounty Hunters' Union. In order to earn the hiring fee of more than 100,000 gold coins and the subsequent share of the special goods when they were sold, Walter, the leader of the Black Beast Mercenary Group, took more than a thousand bounty hunters under his command and sailed to the Emerald (Elf) Continent in the southeast for hunting activities.

At that time, the Jade Continent happened to be celebrating the traditional festival of the Moon Goddess. The elves and fairies living on the continent were busy celebrating the Moon Goddess. During the festival, the vigilance was much more relaxed than usual, which gave us an opportunity to take advantage of.

However, the heavens were not kind to the Black Beast Mercenaries, perhaps because they had committed too many evil deeds and were punished by heaven, and they had a bad start. The fleet was at the junction of the East Ocean and the West Ocean, and ran into the Super Tornado Queen Tasha and the Super Storm Knight Frank, who were fighting over territory there.

Although the Black Beast Mercenary Group saw that the situation was not right and made the choice to change the route in time, the human race's shipbuilding and navigation technology was still a little lacking, and was still affected by the battle of the God of Atmosphere.

At that time, most of the Black Beast Mercenaries were killed or wounded, and more than 600 people sank with the warship and died in the sea. The remaining 400 people were also exhausted. The only two remaining warships were discovered by the coastal elves not long after they landed after sailing to the Jade Continent. Before they could take action, they were attacked by the other side first.

The Black Beast Mercenary Group's luck this time can be said to be extremely bad, and misfortunes never come singly. However, the members of the Black Beast Mercenary Group, those bounty hunters, were all desperate criminals. They were fearless and took up their weapons one after another, starting the final frenzy.

Including the leader Walter, the Black Beast Mercenaries were almost completely wiped out. They refused to surrender or flee, and chose to fight to the last moment. The Black Beast Mercenaries did not lose unfairly. Near the landing site, they happened to encounter a princess of the elven royal family who was patrolling the seaside to search for treasures. It was originally a fat sheep. If they seized the opportunity, they could make a fortune.

However, fate played tricks on them. The Black Beast Mercenaries encountered a shipwreck while roaming the sea, losing most of their men. Not only that, they were also discovered by the elves shortly after landing. The original initiative was lost in an instant, and the situation became very passive.

At the last moment, "Black Rose" Avril remained calm and set a trap on the warship while all the high-level fighters in the Black Beast Mercenary Group, including Walter, were killed in the battle. The victorious elves obviously underestimated the enemy and committed a major military taboo. The elf princess, eager to make a contribution, did not send anyone to investigate in advance, and led the team to board the enemy's warship. As a result, they fell into Avril's trap and were all trapped on the warship.

By the time the elves on the coast reacted, it was too late. "Black Rose" Avril set one of the warships on fire as a rear obstacle and drove the remaining warship away, achieving an "extreme counterattack". Although she was chased by the warships sent by the elves and the warships were damaged in many places, Avril still managed to evacuate successfully.

It was a miracle that Avril was able to evacuate successfully at that time. In order to escape the pursuit of the elf warships, she took a gamble and retreated from the sea where the Super Tornado Queen Tasha and the Super Storm Knight Frank had fought before.

Faced with this dangerous route that could result in the destruction of the ship and the loss of life at any time, the pursuing elven warships hesitated and did not have the courage to move forward. This hesitation directly resulted in the loss of the battleship, which could only watch the figure of Avril's warship disappear in the stormy sea.

The goddess of luck seemed to favor the "Black Rose" Marceline. Her luck was much better than that of the Black Beast Mercenaries when they first arrived. After many storm attacks, when the warship was almost sinking, the Super Tornado Queen Tasha and the Super Storm Knight Frank, who were fighting hard, suddenly stopped fighting, as if they had reached some kind of tacit agreement to reconcile, and returned to their controlled waters, giving Marceline a way out.

By the time the elven warships launched their pursuit, it was too late and they could no longer find any trace of Marceline. Marceline met up with Maxim who came to pick her up, and after transferring the spoils to the Paradise, the original dilapidated warship was directly set on fire and sank into the sea.

"Mr. Osta, these are special goods. You can look at them, but please don't touch them. Those special goods would rather die than surrender. Of course, if the price you offer is higher than Maxim's estimate, it's not impossible to sell it to you."

"Avril, I'm just taking a look this time. Don't worry, I know the rules."

"That's good. Before selling them, I will do something with those special goods. They will definitely be obedient and follow the orders of the new owner!"

"Ms. Avril, you are too fickle. We have cooperated with each other for many times. How come you are willing to sell the goods to His Highness Aosta as soon as you meet him?"

"Humph, Maxim, stop it. You're trying to get close to me and bargain again. Walter trusts you too much. Don't think I don't know how much you've secretly taken from me over the years. I don't care this time. I'll sell the goods to whoever offers the highest price."

After passing through several doors, Aosta finally arrived at the final destination of the expedition. Before opening the last door, "Black Rose" Avril told Aosta some necessary precautions. After Avril saw through Maxim's scheme, he smiled awkwardly but politely, stepped aside consciously, and remained silent for a while.

Avril was right. This guy had been taking advantage of the trust of Walter, the former leader of the Black Beast Mercenary Group, and his ignorance of the market for many years. Maxim secretly lowered the purchase price of the black goods and made a lot of money from the difference.

Avril knew about it a long time ago, but she just didn't point it out at the time. When Walter was poor, Maxim helped and supported him, and he was indebted to her. Maybe Walter also knew these things later, but he didn't say it out of gratitude.

After opening the door of the cabin, Osta's eyes lit up. Even though he had seen countless beauties, he couldn't help but feel amazed. In the dark cabin, the lighting was insufficient, and he could only rely on the weak candlelight. The swaying candlelight added a lot of ambiguous atmosphere to the air.

On the floor of the cabin, there was a large pink carpet with exquisite workmanship. More than one hundred graceful and charming white figures were placed on the carpet. Unlike the goods outside, these special goods were placed randomly without being locked in wooden cages or iron cages. I don't know where Avril got the confidence to place these dangerous special goods so casually.

"Lord Osta, please wait a moment."

"What's wrong? Chris, there's a problem here!"

"Lord Osta, it's not a big problem! Um... Miss Avril, can you remove the secret barrier you set up on this carpet for a while? The secret barrier has a bad effect on the body of people who don't have a foundation in magic. With us here, you don't have to worry about the goods taking the opportunity to escape."

"Sorry, I almost forgot. I'm so sorry. Lord Osta, please wait a moment. Your maid is really...really amazing. She can even see this long-lost forbidden secret spell."

"Nothing, Miss Avril, these are basic knowledge as a servant."

Before entering the warehouse to check the goods, Osta was stopped by Chris. After her reminder, Osta realized that the large pink carpet on the ground was set with a special invisible magic barrier.

This hidden special magic barrier can continuously absorb the magic power of the target on the magic circle, making it unable to gather energy and always in a delicate state of being unable to exert combat power. Targets without magic foundation and martial arts skills are much more miserable. Once they step into it, their vitality will be absorbed as a substitute for energy.

Although the life force absorbed was not much, it felt like being chronically irradiated. It was not pleasant to have your life force slipping away quietly. After Chris reminded her, "Black Rose" Avril immediately apologized and expressed her apology. The expression on her face did not seem to be fake. It seemed that she had really forgotten. Osta did not pursue it any further and continued to observe and appreciate those special goods.

Chapter 114: The Special Secret Transaction Concealed

At the dock of St. Louis, an important port city in the coastal area of ​​Bloomfield Territory. Soon after the super hurricane Queen Anna and Princess Vichy landed and attacked Fitzgerald Territory next to Aosta, the port was restored to order and the town became lively again. The drizzle did not affect the busy merchants on the dock.

The exclusive super cargo ship "Paradise" owned by the famous slave trader "Smiling Fat Man" Maxim of the Southern Continent is now quietly anchored in an inconspicuous and relatively hidden location at the dock. The specifications of this super cargo ship far exceed most merchant ships and pirate warships anchored in the St. Louis port area.

Because the Paradise was moored in a remote location, almost no one paid attention to this special cargo ship. Everyone was busy with their own business and had no time to pay attention to the situation of other ships.

Lord Aosta was in the cargo hold at the bottom of the cabin of the "Paradise" super freighter, checking the most valuable collateral that Maxim could provide him, a batch of special goods from foreign races. If the inspection was OK, Maxim would be able to allocate a loan soon.

Aosta, the gentleman lord, had never done this kind of business before, and had no idea how to look at the goods or how to estimate the price. Now, at best, he just came here to take a look and satisfy the evil taste of the gentleman prince. Aosta judged everything by feeling, and passed if he felt good. This was a typical example of "experts look at the doorway, while laymen look at the excitement".

The person who led the way and introduced the goods to Osta was the only survivor of the Black Beast Mercenary Group, "Black Rose" Avril. This cold and beautiful girl didn't know that Osta was a "layman" and thought he was an expert in this field.

The three exclusive accompanying combat maids, Chris and others, who followed behind Osta, were so beautiful that it was hard to describe them in words. This made Avril mistakenly believe that Osta was a master of beauty and had a way of judging beauty, and she was indirectly misled. It was unreasonable for him to have no aesthetic sense for him to be able to find these three exclusive accompanying combat maids who were at the level of beautiful women.

"The goods are all here, Mr. Osta. Remember what I reminded you to pay attention to before?"

"I remember, Avril, you don't have to worry about it."

"Sir Osta, I have temporarily lifted the secret barrier. If you want to buy it, as long as the price you offer is higher than that of the fat man behind me, I will give you priority."

"Thanks, Avril, just let me take a look at the goods."

Osta had a serious expression, trying his best to hide his gentlemanly thoughts, pretending to be a professional, and walked forward to carefully examine the special goods. The three exclusive accompanying combat maids following Osta, Chris, Yulia and Sophia, stopped where they were and waited, and did not follow.

Although Chris and the others didn't care when they followed here, and were not affected by the environment at all, after reaching the last warehouse, they were very tactful and consciously didn't follow Aosta, so as not to accidentally disturb their lord's leisure.

Osta was calm on the surface, but all kinds of indescribable evil and bold thoughts kept flashing through his mind. After all, the scene was too exciting and too tempting to commit a crime. For normal men, if they didn't react at all after seeing it, it basically meant that their abilities in that area needed to be improved, or they were biased and tended to be inclined towards great philosophical research.

The girls of different races are very pretty, and their average level far exceeds that of ordinary human girls. In addition, the different ethnic elements they wear add a lot of points to their appearance. Girls of different ethnic groups have different characteristics.

There were many beautiful human girls around Osta, except for Chris and a few others who were special and could not be completely considered human. The other human girls were obviously inferior to the aliens in terms of appearance and figure.

In this special warehouse, there are more than 100 special goods, all from the elves. According to the friendly alliance between the human race and the elves, in various human continents, attacking the elves is obviously a violation of the covenant. If discovered, it is basically a capital crime.

Of course, since there are sellers who are not afraid of death, there are naturally buyers who are not afraid of trouble. Maxim had revealed to Aosta in advance that the main buyers of this batch of special goods were the new nobles who rose later in the countries of the northern continent.

These new nobles were all wealthy businessmen who made their fortunes through capital business, and they were not as traditional and conservative as the old nobles. The old nobles did not dare to do such treasonous things, but the new nobles did not care and bought them anyway.

The special cargo, weapons and equipment were completely removed, and all of them were confiscated when they were caught. "Black Rose" Avril was a girl herself, and she had the blood of the elves, so she was naturally very skilled in this area. She removed all the weapons and equipment of the special cargo in no time, and turned into a shameful posture of being naked, white and attractive.

This was not difficult for Avril. After she had completed all of this with ease, in order to avoid the subsequent pursuit of the elven fleet, which might use the magic energy reserved on the weapons and equipment to track and locate the moving position, Avril simply sank all the weapons and equipment that were originally on the cargo to the bottom of the sea, and threw them into the sea where the borders of the Eastern Ocean and the Southern Ocean meet.

The weapons and equipment of the elves are scarce in the market of the human continent. The elves basically do not sell weapons and equipment to others, especially the weapons and equipment and treasures used by the royal family members of the elves, which are very valuable.

"Black Rose" Avril knew that she would miss out on a large fortune by doing this, but in order to evacuate safely and avoid being chased, this beautiful girl behaved very calmly, and did not let the wealth go to her head and lose her basic rationality and judgment. Avril reluctantly gave up and finally chose to sink the weapons and equipment into the sea.

After successfully escaping, Avril tracked down the warships of the elven forces in this sea area. Soon, based on the magic and spiritual power contained in the weapons and equipment, she found the specific location of the weapons and equipment, which had been sunk to the bottom of the sea by the attackers.

The elves quickly salvaged the weapons and equipment that had sunk into the sea, but now they had no clues to track the whereabouts of the kidnapped people. There was no trace of them on the sea. The elves had no choice but to return to the Emerald Continent to report to the royal family of the elves and see what they wanted to do.

"Avril, please forgive my rudeness and abruptness, but the current state of the goods is a little too... too cool!"

"Mr. Osta, this is a tradition. You may not know it! It's not something I thought of. It didn't exist originally."

Osta looked around and found that the special goods were basically not covered, and there was hardly any cloth to be seen. Osta was inevitably a little confused and immediately asked his guide, "Black Rose" Avril.

Avril's face unexpectedly flushed a little this time, revealing a hint of shyness. However, she still tried her best to maintain her usual cold tone and explained the reason to Osta.

It turns out that according to their traditional culture, the elves and fairies living in the Emerald (Elf) Continent do not wear underwear under their clothes. Basically, under their weapons and armor is their snow-white skin, and there is no thin layer of cloth to hinder their appreciation.

Therefore, after Avril stripped off all the weapons and equipment that the special cargo carried and sank into the sea, she was now in this extremely tempting white phantom posture, without any thin underwear from the beginning. There is no possibility that Avril, out of some special hobby, artificially took off all the cargo to cover up and forced the target to become naked.

The special cargo were basically sitting in a kneeling position, with their hands mostly crossed behind their backs, and bound by hemp ropes around their smooth white backs. They wore a pair of heavy black metal shackles on their ankles, with a horizontal strip of cloth that sealed their ability to speak.

After seeing Avril bring the man in, the pretty and innocent faces of those special cargoes showed uneasy expressions. Those beautiful elf eyes were full of shyness and fear. They didn't know what the witch brought the man to do.

The elves were not completely ignorant of the human race. After they had sobered up a little and saw the shameful state of the other ordinary cargo on the Heaven, this batch of special cargo basically guessed that they were on a pirate ship, and the other party might be the legendary special human merchant who specialized in reselling people.

When they thought of this, the special cargoes were so scared that they were at a loss. They wanted to escape but had no way to do it, so they could only wait here in anxiety. Food and water were all taken care of by "Black Rose" Avril in the past month. It felt like a shameful erotic breeding game.

Because of her own elven bloodline, Avril was very familiar with the habits of her kind and could handle them easily. After more than a month of round-the-clock conditioning with both soft and hard methods, most of the tempers of this batch of special cargo had been worn away, leaving only a few special ones.

As soon as they saw Avril, the special cargoes were filled with mixed feelings of love and hate. The enemy was indeed hateful, but compared to being handed over to the human gentlemen as private property, kept as a collection and secretly enjoyed and played with, it was safer to leave it in Avril's hands. After all, Avril was also a girl, no matter how evil she was, she couldn't play any new tricks.

This time, Avril brought a man with her, which caused the special goods to misunderstand that the "Black Rose" Avril was finally going to make a move. She wanted to sell the special goods in her control to the gentlemen of the human race, and this time she personally brought the buyers to look at the goods.

When they thought about being bought, they might have to face the random grabbing and teasing of several pairs of big hands, or other evil treatment. The special goods lowered their heads, buried them so low that their faces could hardly be seen. This was the last helpless way to save themselves. Not letting the merchants see their pretty faces could avoid the possibility of being bought in the first, second or third batch of goods to the greatest extent.

This method is only a temporary solution, it can only delay time a little bit. If you are lucky, you can escape. If you are average or bad luck, basically there is no chance. Osta just feels that those special goods are too simple. They lower their heads and cannot see their faces. Can't the merchants judge by their bodies? As long as the body is not blocked, no matter how much you lower your head, it is just deceiving yourself, and it can't even delay for a moment.

"Mr. Osta, these are special goods for ordinary people. The most important ones are here!"

"Is there something more important? Avril, please take me to see it."

Avril slightly turned the gear decoration on the special magic wand in her hand, and the gear seemed to be turned after the mechanism was turned on. As the gear turned, the special cargo, which was originally busy lowering its head to defend, trembled violently as if it had been electrocuted. It maintained an expression of unwilling humiliation and posed in a shameful posture with its head held high, which gave the gentleman lord Osta, who came to see the cargo, a feast for the eyes. Avril had many secrets hidden in her, which were worth Osta's exploration.

Osta didn't need Eve's reminder, he had already noticed some problems in the details, after all, they were too obvious. The more than 100 pieces of special cargo that were locked up here and restricted their movements could be seen at a glance to be divided into two types or racial branches. Although they were all elves, and on the surface they belonged to the same race, and all had the important feature of the elves, pointed ears, but their hair color was obviously different, half of them were beautiful blonde hair, and the other half were dark brown hair.

"Mr. Osta, the identities of these people are... Please take a look!"

"Avril, these guys are actually...

"Mr. Osta, please keep your voice down so that the fat man doesn't hear you."

Avril seemed to have concealed a lot of important information from Maxim. She did not reveal the specific true identity of each item in this batch of goods. In the most secret place of the warehouse, there were eight special goods with obviously above average appearance, half of them were blonde and half were dark brown.

Avril deliberately placed it in such an inconspicuous corner to avoid Maxim's attention. Even when she told Aosta the true identity of this special batch of goods, Avril passed a note to him, fearing that the conversation between her and Aosta would be heard by Maxim. The note was obviously prepared in advance, and the ink on it had dried.

Osta's hand holding the note trembled slightly. He was shocked when he saw the title of princess added at the end of the paper. He didn't expect that there were really elven royals being controlled, and eight of them at that. The special status of the royal family is very special among the elves. This time, so many of them fell into the hands of outsiders, which might cause a continental dispute between humans and aliens.

"Avril, why didn't you tell Maxime? These should be worth more."

"Mr. Osta, Maxim is just a businessman after all. If something goes wrong, he won't be able to handle it. I need to find a buyer with a strong background who can handle it."

"Avril, you've got the wrong person! I'm just an ordinary lord on a mission."

"Lord Osta... Your Highness, please don't be so modest. You should know the value of these people. I don't care whether you buy them back and release them to repay the elves, or sell them to the nobles in the northern continent, or take them back to enjoy yourself. This is just business."

The conversation between Avril and Osta was very quiet, almost like a whisper, and Maxim outside could not hear it. He was looking at other special goods and secretly evaluating the price. He never thought that his long-term business partner had already secretly left him aside and negotiated a secret deal with the new Osta in person. The feeling of déjà vu was as exciting as face-to-face NTR.

Osta did not doubt the words of "Black Rose" Avril. Among the top of the new nobles in the northern continent of the human race, there are many senior gentlemen with special tastes and deep hidden. These guys all want to spend a lot of money to buy special products from the Emerald Continent. Selling them to them will be conducive to business alliance.

If Osta chooses to release it and hand it over to the elves, he can get a lot of favors. At worst, he can buy it back and enjoy it alone. As a gentleman, it is not a loss. Avril took a gamble and confronted Osta. This time, he did not make a wrong bet. With Osta's identity and background, he really dared to take on such a difficult special mortgage.

"Avril, let's be frank. I want all 2 billion browns (200,000 gold coins). If you have no objection, I will ask the Blom Vault to send the brown coins over right away."

"Your Highness Osta, I was right about you. I'll deliver the goods to Blom's vault myself! Just consider it an extra service. It seems like you want to discuss some business with me, so I'll take care of it when the time comes!"

"No problem, Avril, happy trading."

"Your Highness Aosta, I like people like you who are generous. Unlike Maxim, he not only haggles over the price, but also haggles with me over even the slightest bit of money."

Osta did not hesitate at all. This deal was the biggest investment he had made since he became a lord. It almost used up all the capital that Queen Margaret III gave him to open the Blom vault. However, Osta was not at all empty-handed. He paid with paper money. The Blom coins were printed by himself, and the gold coins were still in the vault.

It was unlikely that Avril would carry more than 1.6 million gold coins alone. In the end, Osta was almost like a wolf with nothing. He bought these important goods with special identities with paper money, and did not really pay so many gold coins.

Chapter 115 The first loan business was successfully completed

In the coastal area of ​​Bloomfield Territory, in the important port city of St. Louis, on the busiest street in the center of town, the block where the Bloom Vault is located is particularly lively, with a constant stream of merchants coming to exchange Brown.

Not only the dark merchants, but also merchants from other continents who came to avoid the impact and attack of the super hurricane Queen Anna and Princess Vichy, joined the team to exchange Brown Coins. Merchants felt that saving money to get interest was a possible investment, and the Bloom Vault took advantage of the crowd to tentatively start publicity, saying that it was going to launch a loan business.

The loan business is still in the experimental stage. The main business scope is temporarily limited to dark merchants or pirates who can mortgage goods of corresponding value in the Blom Vault. It is not open to orthodox merchants for the time being. Loans are mainly given in Brown Coins. If the lender needs it, he can go to the Blom Vault at any time to exchange the banknotes for the currency he needs.

After the launch of the new business, many savvy dark merchants were eager to try it out, as they saw new opportunities in it. The minting of the traditional human currency, gold, silver and copper, has never been standardized, and there is no way to reach a unified standard. The right to mint coins on various continents has been in a state of chaos for a long time, and empires, kingdoms, and even principalities all have the right to mint coins.

The standards for the casting ratios of coins are different for the royal families of various empires and noble families. Although on the surface they are all made of gold, silver and copper, the difference lies in the patterns on the coins. The country or noble family that casts the coins will have their national flag, royal emblem or noble family seal added to the coin.

However, the inconsistency in the casting ratio has led to serious obstacles in the currency transactions of various countries. Everyone's casting technology is different, and there is a gap, so the purity of the currency cannot reach a unified standard. Not only in the human continent, but also in different countries on the continent, even in different towns, the purity of the currency in the same place is different, and the purity of the currency in the village next to the village is different.

The situation of copper coins is slightly better. After all, they are not valuable. The percentage of copper content in copper coins minted by everyone is relatively close, averaging about 80%. The highest percentage is in the Western Continent, which has a long history of using copper coins and has a high casting technology. The purity can reach more than 90%. The casting technology in the Southern Continent is poor, barely reaching about 75%.

The situation is not optimistic starting from the silver coins. There is a watershed and it is impossible to reach an average value close to each other. The highest percentage of silver content is in the Northern Continent, with a purity of more than 90%, followed by the Eastern Continent, with a purity of around 80%. The silver content of silver coins in the Western Continent is generally around 70%, and the silver content of silver coins in the Southern Continent is the lowest. Due to the limitations of coin casting technology, the maximum silver content can only be 50%, with no lower limit.

Gold coins are the hardest hit. The gold content and purity of gold coins are the highest in the Eastern Continent. The Holy Light Gold Coins, which are minted under the supervision of the Church of Light, have a gold content of over 90%. In addition, the Church of Light also has another type of Holy Gold Coin (Platinum Coin) that is specially minted, and the platinum content is also over 90%. Moreover, only the gold and platinum coins minted under the supervision of the Church of Light are supplemented with silver, while other human continents all use copper.

The Church of Light spent a lot of money on gold coins. The golden coins are consistent with the golden color that the Church of Light worships, symbolizing light. For the sake of face, the Church of Light can ignore the cost. The gold content of gold coins minted by other human continents is not satisfactory. The gold content of gold coins minted by the northern continent is slightly better, with a purity of about 80%.

The gold content of gold coins in the Western Continent is generally only about 50%, half of which is replaced by copper. Merchants from various countries privately jokingly call them "half-gold coins." The gold coins in the Southern Continent are the worst, with a gold content of only 20% at most, and many are less than 10%.

In addition to the poor coin-making technology, the royal families and nobles of the southern continent countries also wanted to save gold and deliberately lowered the gold content to this level. This practice was mercilessly ridiculed by most merchants, who privately called the gold coins minted and issued by the southern continent countries "fake gold coins."

The different purity of gold coins directly led to disputes among merchants from different countries over the exchange rate when trading, which seriously hindered economic and trade exchanges. The Eastern Continent simply closed its customs and banned all foreign trade except for a few special commodity trades.

The gold coins minted by the Church of Light are of high purity, and trading with other continents is too unprofitable. There are often speculative merchants who melt the Holy Light Coins issued by the Church and sell them to other continents to mint new gold coins, making a profit from the difference.

The only relatively reliable gold bars, such as gold bricks, are rarely minted, too heavy, and inconvenient to trade. Today, the currency exchange ratio problem that has troubled the human continents for many years has ushered in a major turning point with the emergence of Brown Coin.

According to the exchange rate published by the Blom Treasury, no matter what the gold, silver or copper coins minted there are, the exchange rate with the Brown Coin is the same. One gold coin is exchanged for 10,000 Browns, one silver coin is exchanged for 100 Browns, and one copper coin is exchanged for one Brown, which perfectly solves the problem of different currency purity and serious differences in exchange rates.

The two parties in the transaction now have a standard that can serve as a reference equivalent. They only need to exchange Brown Coins for transactions, and there will be no more arguments over the different purity of the currency. After all, everyone is holding the same banknotes, so there is no question of who is at a disadvantage.

In order to prevent possible speculation and money laundering, the Blom Vault has also taken relevant preventive measures in advance. When guests exchange Brown coins for currency, they will be required to show proof of their country of origin and a description of their main living area. Only the currency of their own country can be exchanged.

The currency of the continent to which the depositor belongs will be exchanged. If the currency of the continent is insufficient, Blom Vault can settle with the currency of other continents according to its own exchange standards after reaching an agreement with the depositor. The final right of interpretation of all these exchanges lies with Blom Vault.

Merchants and other large depositors can register their identities in advance at the Blom Vault to facilitate long-term transactions. When the currency to be exchanged is insufficient, the Blom Vault will negotiate with the merchants and replace it with currencies from other countries or other human continents according to the exchange rate standards set by the Blom Vault.

If merchants want to exchange Brown Coins for currencies other than their own country or continent, they need to pledge property equal to the total value of the exchanged currency in the Blom Vault to prevent someone from taking advantage of the price difference. Lord Osta has strict requirements for currency exchange for Brown, which is equivalent to foreign exchange on Earth.
