At this time, Danica also heard something coming, and she said, "So the Tulip Royal Family is going to place bets on both sides?"

Neos smiled and said, "Yes, the old king made two preparations. One is the prince who is now in the Aragon court, which represents the tradition of the kingdom. It is said that this prince grew up in the seminary of the Holy See of Light. He is also a paladin and has a deep relationship with the Holy See of Light. The other is Aphrod, who hides in a remote villa of the three major magic academies and lives with us. It is indeed pitiful."

Danica said: "Do you think Afuro still has a chance?" Now it seems that the prince has a lot of advantages!

Naos said: "Of course, although the situation is not clear now, some trends can still be seen. Although the Holy See of Light still maintains the strong strength of the world's number one, it has already shown a trend of decline. Their control over the entire human race is getting weaker and weaker, especially at this time, everyone will be a little careful." In Naos's view, although the Holy See of Light has been the first in the world, it is a bit unworthy of its name. Compared with the original Elf Empire and the Magic Empire, the Holy See has not even fully controlled the human race. Now there are so many more people to make her rebellion, and it will not last long.

Danica glanced at Neos and said, "When is this time?"

Neos smiled and said, "I shouldn't tell you about this. You will know it naturally when the right time comes."

Neos's pretended mystery did not make Danica feel unfathomable, but she was very annoyed. She said lightly: "Okay, I know everything you want to tell me. Is there anything else?"

She knew it before she could explain it clearly? But it didn't matter. She could only get answers to some questions from herself. Neos smiled and said, "It's nothing. I'm here earlier. Although I'm not as rich as the princess, I can still help with some small things. Please don't be polite."

Danica smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, by the way, be careful of hangover after drinking too much." After that, she got up and returned to her bedroom.

Unlike Neos's idea, Danica did not have any questions about Aphrod in the future.

...

On the tenth day of Danica's letter, she finally waited for Hodder's reply to herself. In the letter, he briefly mentioned the development of the Curse Cult in Melens, and specifically mentioned that Edward finally reached an agreement with the Cardinal of the Holy See. Every year, Melens needed to give 200,000 gold coins to the Holy See, and then he could exempt the 11th tax. Every year, 200,000 gold coins, some smaller countries could not support it, but Melens was a prosperous commercial city after all, and this little money could still be obtained. This agreement was a sample, and the next step was to discuss one city after another. The southern coastal areas led by Edward would probably have to hand over millions of gold coins to buy peace from the Holy See, but for commercial operations, only by buying peace can you make a profit.

The letter attached was a banknote of 50,000 gold coins. Danica had heard of this kind of banknote, but she had never seen it. This was the first time she saw the real thing. Danica held it in her hand and observed it carefully. The banknote was about the size of a palm, rectangular, and the front was a number of 50,000 gold coins. It was written in the elves. It was decorated with complicated floral patterns around it. A big tree was depicted with lines on the back, and there was also a leaf-shaped mark on the lower right corner.

In the Katic continent, if you need to buy and sell large amounts of gold coins, you will use this kind of banknote.

There is an interesting story about the origin of banknotes. It is said that the Pope of the Holy See of Light wanted to renovate all churches within the human race, which required a large amount of high-quality wood. The timber merchants could not afford so much wood, and the Holy See also worried about their credit. After all, they needed too much. In order to collect so much wood, those cunning merchants would probably use inferior products as good ones. In the end, the Pope of the Holy See of Light decided to trade directly with the elves. The elves occupied the vast forests in the eastern part of the continent, supplying more than 80% of the wood in the entire continent. Only the elves could take out so much high-quality wood in a short time.

After a simple negotiation, the transaction was reached, but how to pay became a problem. It was too troublesome to transport several tons of gold coins to the Elf Clan, and so many gold coins were too conspicuous. What problems might be encountered during the transportation process! In the end, the Pope thought of a way and directly wrote an IOU to the Elf Wang Ting. The Elf Clan could use the money on the IOU to make other purchases and payments. After all, the Elf Clan also needs to purchase a large amount of iron tools, high-quality ores, etc. from the human race every year.

Later, both parties found that this payment method was very useful, especially for bulk transactions, which was very convenient. So the Holy See and the Elf King Ting began to issue such "IOUs", which later evolved into the banknotes Danica's current hand. The banknotes in her hand were issued by the Elf King Ting. The smallest denomination is 50,000 gold coins. It is said that the banknotes issued by the Holy See had a smaller denomination, and the smallest seemed to be 10,000 gold coins.

The basis for issuing banknotes in this world is not the actual substance such as gold or oil, but the credit of the Holy See and the Elf King's Court. When everyone in this world believes that with this kind of banknote, it can be exchanged for gold coins from the Holy See and the Elf King's Court at any time, this kind of banknote has real value.

Interestingly, the Holy See and the Elf King's Court issued this currency only to facilitate transactions, and only two operations were issued and recycling. This made the big merchants in the southern coastal areas feel heartbroken. Is there anything more crazy than this way of making money? This is not making money, this is making money! With such good conditions, only a little financial means can easily seize huge economic benefits. They actually only issue and recycling, even if they carry out a little loan business, that's fine, it's a waste of resources!

In fact, the Holy See and the Elf King's Court were not as economically stubborn as they thought. In order to avoid inflation, both sides were very restrained when distributing such banknotes and were by no means randomly.

It seems that Hod is quite generous! In addition, he was able to take out so many gold coins so quickly, and it seems that he did not indulge in the pursuit of power and gave up his own industry. Danica collected the banknotes, which was enough for her to spend a long time.
