As the door opens, the heat is overwhelming. This is because the bank adopts an advanced heating system, which makes it feel like spring all year round.
The hall is spacious and bright. The floor made of Yunchen granite has been wiped spotless, and you can see the reflection from the skirts of the female staff.
Directly in front is the service desk, where customers can inquire about the bank's service scope and various businesses. It is surrounded by tender green bonsai plants, and in the middle, there is a sofa for customers to rest and wait.
There are a total of twelve teller windows, all staffed by the most professional staff who are familiar with various economic matters.
"We originally planned to arrange female employees to increase affinity, but they are currently in training and can only be replaced by goblins temporarily!"
The district chief explained.
"No, just use goblins. This is the characteristic of our Standard Chartered Bank. And if you want to make the Westerners change their view of you, this is a great opportunity!"
Downton rejected the district mayor's proposal. He had also been to some banks, and all of them were female employees. They were completely featureless. Although the goblins were not beautiful, they were professional. After all, customers came here not to see beauties, but to get high-quality goods.
services.
"This way, please!"
The person at the front desk was a young woman with long wavy red hair. She walked quickly in front of everyone, her left hand was placed in front of her lower abdomen, and her right hand guided the way.
Even if no one mentioned it, the young woman knew that when the boss came, he must be inspecting the treasury. Besides, without such cleverness, she would have been fired long ago.
The young woman pressed the magic button and the elevator door opened.
"Eh? This is so magical. How do you use it?"
Feeling her body descending, Xiao Hutao stared at the operating panel, eager to try.
The young woman explained patiently.
"Master, I have to say that this uniform you designed is great. Every customer is full of praise, and there are even many imitations on the market!"
The district chief never misses an opportunity to flatter him.
"Hmm? What do you want to say?"
Downton noticed that the district chief was hesitant to speak.
"Boss, there are too many imitations. Even small restaurants now wear this kind of uniforms, especially those Liuying people. They are also the main buying crowd, because once they wear these clothes, their business will immediately increase.
level."
The young woman couldn't help complaining. In the past, wearing this outfit was a symbol of status when going out, and the rate of turning heads was as high as 90%. But now, as soon as she walks on the street, someone asks her how much it costs to stay overnight.
The district chief glared at the young woman fiercely, not wanting her to interrupt.
Seeing that Downton was very kind, the young woman wanted to say a few more words, but this look made her shrink her neck and lower her head.
"I don't have time to design clothes, you can ask those costume masters to do it!"
Downton stopped when he saw the number eight on the panel, which meant that the building had a total of eighteen floors.
"I searched. But those masters don't have your inspiration that transcends the times!"
The district chief sighed.
"They would have seen the undead if they had!"
Downton would not tell them that these clothes were all seen in dreams. Although there were countless of them, but leading the fashion of the West? He had no interest in them.
"You go up!"
After letting the young woman leave, the district chief and Juliet walked to the five-ton security door, entered their half of the password, and then turned the rudder-like switch.
Kara! Kara!
After a few beeps, the security door opened.
"Master, please come in!"
As soon as the district chief finished speaking, Xiao Hutao was the first to rush in, and then exclaimed, "Wow, there are so many gold bricks!"
Downton walked in and saw that the vault was the size of a football field. Half of it was filled with yellow gold bricks, and the other half was made of steel shelves, which contained jewelry, famous paintings, and various precious and valuable things.
"The property here has been converted into gold coins, totaling 16.7 billion gold coins, and there are still more than a dozen items that cannot be valued!"
The district chief showed off proudly.
"Wow, there are so many, you are so capable of what you do!"
Xiao Hutao patted the district chief on the shoulder like a grown-up. She didn't know that this amount was just a reserve fund to prevent a run. The total amount of loans currently extended by the bank plus the deposits it had absorbed already exceeded 100 billion gold coins.
The free trade zone is a large market with unlimited potential, and as Downton is the powerful Hand of the King, his Standard Chartered Bank has replaced the functions of the original state-owned bank. It has no competitors and has naturally developed rapidly.
"Monopoly means getting rich!"
Downton sighed, but he is now a rich man, so he is not very excited about the wealth. After all, the Supreme Lord of the Rings in his hand is a top-quality magic costume worth 30 billion.
"Diplomats from the nine empires, as well as envoys from those wealthy families, have been negotiating with me recently, using coercion and inducement to establish a bank in the free trade zone!"
The district chief is also very worried. These big forces cannot refuse at all and can only talk slowly.
In this world, no one is stupid. Which industry is the most profitable? Except for those who break the law, it is undoubtedly banks, so those people will squeeze their heads.
"It's not enough to reject them all. Sooner or later, we have to win over some and confront some."
Homer casually mentioned that these goblins, who have been dealing with numbers since childhood, understand economics better than it does, so it will not show its shame.
There was also a mezzanine in the vault. Juliet opened it, and a cold air immediately came out.
"Why are there so many ice cubes?"
Xiao Hutao saw the sealed aquarium in the middle of the vault at a glance.
"Naturally, it is to limit the activity of the heart of the spring to prevent it from escaping!"
Juliet carefully opened the box engraved with the frozen magic circle, and a group of translucent liquid immediately appeared in everyone's sight.
"Isn't this just a slime?"
Little Walnut subconsciously wanted to poke this guy with her hand, but she stopped before Homer could stop her. As she got older, Little Loli became less reckless and reckless.
Slime is a low-level monster, similar to jelly, and this ball of spring water is also like a frozen jelly, but when the box is opened, it shoots out like a powerful water arrow.
.
"ah!"
Juliet hurriedly went to build the box, but she was still a step too late. Fortunately, Homer and the God of Cheap were there.
Whoosh!
Two rays of soul power radiated, forming a large net that imprisoned the Heart of the Spring in the air.
Although the consciousness of Quan Zhixin is weak and the intelligence is about the same as that of a child of a few years old, its attack power is not weak. In order to escape for its life, it exploded with all its strength.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The moisture in the air condensed and formed water arrows, which were shot at everyone. The power was not weaker than the scepter, but it was completely in vain in the face of Downton's rapid changes.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The skin of the Downton people swelled slightly, as if it was swollen, and then cracked in some places and blood oozed out.
The district chief was the weakest and shriveled up to the naked eye. If Homer and Elaine hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands to give him shields and recovery skills, he would have become a human.
"Get out quickly and leave this place to me and the Cheap God!"
Homer urged everyone to leave. The power of the Heart of the Fountain was average, but the magic was too weird. It could drain the moisture from any living body and turn them into mummies.
It seems that the ogre was lucky. What the Heart of the Spring feared the most was drought and freezing. The cold wave that arrived early caused it to enter hibernation, otherwise it would not have been caught.
Downton hugged the district chief, exited the vault, and closed the security door. At this time, he didn't dare to make a big mistake.
Even through the thick security door, you can hear the explosions coming from inside, which shows how fierce the battle is, but Downton is not worried. After passing the Holy Light Prayer Tower, Homer and the Cheap God absorbed
He gained some sacred energy and regained some strength.
"What's wrong?"
Downton saw Hu Tao frowning and immediately alerted the surroundings.
"There are soul fluctuations!"
Hu Tao replied, suddenly looking towards the ten o'clock direction, activated the Wanhua Technique, held the dragon gun in his hand, and threw it directly.
boom!
The gold bricks were flying, and with Downton's eyesight, he saw a small drop of water being lifted into the air by the shock wave, shining brightly under the light of the wall lamp.
"Damn it!"
Downton glared with his left eye and activated the Dark Gaze. At the same time, the wrath of the Lonely Mountain blasted out to defeat the consciousness of this water droplet.
boom!
The larvae of the Heart of the Fountain sensed the danger of death and instantly erupted. An invisible ripple of punch collided, and then exploded, overturning all the surrounding gold bricks and jewelry.
Creak!
The shelves were also moving horizontally, rubbing against the floor and making a harsh sound.
"How to kill this?"
Hutao was dumbfounded. The enemy was a small drop of water. How should he fight it?
"Trouble, Salomanda, guard the exit!"
Downton released the firebird. To be honest, he didn't know what to do. This is also the difficulty with magical monsters. Because so few people have seen it, the information is scarce. You don't know what weird abilities it has.
.
During the blood-sucking offensive, Quan Zhixin also laid eggs by the way, and they were buried in the body of the district chief, because he was the weakest and least likely to be detected.
If Walnut, who was born with a keen sense, had not been escaped by this larvae, even if Homer took down the Heart of the Fountain, the effect would be greatly reduced.
boom!
A vortex appeared in the air, and the water element condensed crazily, turning into a light blue water element giant. It waved its arms and rushed towards the firebird. At the same time, a ring of ice exploded under its feet, trying to freeze everyone and fight for it.
Escape time.
boom!
A ring of flame exploded, and the temperature in the vault rose rapidly. Then it collided with the frost, exploded, and then white steam evaporated.
"This is just great!"
Hutao smiled brightly, and rushed towards the water giant aggressively, then waved the hand of the Balrog, with a brilliant halo, and hit it on the head.
boom!
The water giant waved his hand to block, but not only his arms were shattered, but his head was smashed into his chest, and cracks spread across his body.
Elaine blessed two people with magic.
"Please protect yourself!"
Before Juliet could take action, Downton pulled her down behind him.
Juliet felt so happy to be cared about by her sweetheart. At such moments, Downton's tenderness became more precious.
"How did this guy escape?"
After Downton released the Twin Angels, he did not take action rashly, but instead stared at the heart of the water giant, which was the Heart of the Fountain.
In fact, Downton was overly worried. The reproduction of the Heart of the Fountain relies on the division of consciousness to infect a water source and become larvae. Within hundreds of years, its consciousness can only divide once, so it is so desperate, because
