Black Dragon Code

The summer of 1656 in the Third Age of Elradia.

On this day, the same scene appeared in all regions of the Northern Empire. In the centers of various town settlements, more than a hundred carpenters and workers were busy working in the semi-open space. This is nothing new, after all The Black Wing Empire is in an unprecedented period of peace and prosperity, industry and commerce are developing at an unpredictable speed, and new stores are opening every now and then in every town.

But what is strange is that these craftsmen are assisted by spellcasters, and their speed of building buildings is ten times faster than normal, or even more. People quickly realized that this is extraordinary, and it is the will of the country that promotes the emergence of new buildings , and it seems that it is quite urgent. Just at the beginning of construction, the Imperial Bank has attracted enough attention.

In just half a month, this product of expedited construction has been preliminarily completed. The walls of the Imperial Bank, which covers a large area, are paved with polished marble. Wing imprints shine on its tip.

Looking inward through the glass door, the layout inside the bank is also exquisite. The floor is paved with thick oak floors, the walls are covered with clean white porcelain, and the central counter is neatly arranged with various tables and chairs. The construction of all banks in the territory is based on the same blueprint—that is to say, all urban banks should look exactly the same except for the staff.

After lunch as usual, Dampier finished packing up the copywriting at hand, then stretched himself, and prepared to go for a walk.

Opportunities came quietly in places you never thought of. The question and answer in the royal court gave Dampier a sudden opportunity. He was appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor, and he was sent to Kashan City to be appointed as the inspector of the Imperial Bank in the area. .

There is no rule in the Empire that officials are not allowed to buy Black Wing bonds, so Dampier has also been concerned about this. He was so busy that the Imperial Bank just opened two days ago that he was so busy that he had no free time. He finally had time today, so he decided to give himself Buy a Blackwing bond.

Because he is an insider, Dampier knows that due to His Majesty's instructions, the release of the Black Wing bonds has been fully coordinated by the Ministry of Commerce and the Propaganda Department. After half a month of preliminary work, he believes that the people in the Northland have already known all about it. With its existence, Dampier is already mentally prepared for the possible queuing scene at the service window in the bank lobby.

But when he stepped into the Imperial Bank, what he saw was beyond his expectation—the lobby of the bank was as empty as it was when it was just completed, except for the yawning staff in their seats, half of the people were gone. Did not see.

"Good afternoon, Dampier, aren't you resting today?" As a companion who worked together, the black shirt at the door was already familiar with him, and he immediately greeted him when he came in.

"Good afternoon, I'm here to buy myself a Blackwing bond." He answered briefly.

"I'm so happy, let Rosanne register for you, our twenty-first customer."

"The twenty-first?" Dampier asked back: "Until now, there are only twenty-one buyers of the Black Wing bonds of Kashan City Imperial Bank?"

"That's right, and we bought half of it ourselves."

"Okay." Dampier took a deep breath, and went to the counter to register with his cane and money bag. In addition to the anti-counterfeiting mark like the elegy card, the Black Wing Bond also has a unique authentication code, which requires registration before purchasing.

He bought a 20-gold Black Wing Coupon, and there was plenty of time after registration. Dampier didn't leave immediately, but chose to sit and observe for a while in the corner of the hall.

For nearly an hour, there was only one person who came to buy the Black Wing Bond besides him, who seemed to be a local resident of Kashan, and only bought fifty silver coins.

These signs seem to indicate that the Black Wing bonds are slow to sell...

"why?"

Dampier was puzzled. To be honest, he admired their emperor very much. As a real dragon, His Majesty Caesar had a precise grasp of human nature, and thought of everything that should be thought of.

The attractiveness of the Black Wing Bond is magnified several times in His Majesty's hands. And under this series of premises, this situation shouldn't have happened-why didn't the people flock to buy it?

They don't know about it? Impossible, the construction of the Imperial Bank has already attracted enough attention, and there is absolutely no problem with the official propaganda. Unless the residents stay at home, everyone should know about it.

Dampier was puzzled, but he soon became excited, because he suddenly realized that the phenomenon of Kashan City is probably not an exception. If there is no accident, the sales of Black Wing bonds in various parts of the empire should not be satisfactory. If he can be the first to find out the reason and even the solution, he can help the Black Dragon Emperor solve a big problem, and he can also take advantage of the trend to climb more than one level.

Thinking of this, Dampier immediately left the Imperial Bank. He didn't have to work today, so he didn't wear a black shirt. He could act as an ordinary resident, asking questions as he walked.

The situation is not much different from what he guessed. Most people have heard of Black Wing Bonds, and have a certain understanding of it from various sources of information, but most people will kindly remind them in a persuasive tone: " Young man, while there are no black shirts around, I will secretly tell you that you are young and have little experience, don’t touch that thing, you know it’s a lie?”

"why?"

"There is no reason, you have never seen such a thing in the whole of Eladea, handing over gold coins to the lord for safekeeping, isn't it just sending money to the lord?"

"I see."

Dampier really understands why no one cares about the Black Wing Bond even though it has enough publicity, the reason lies in the words of these people.

For one thing, Elradia has never had such a precedent. People will naturally feel fear and resistance to things they have never touched.

Secondly, the people don't trust their lords at all. Before the Black Dragon Emperor ruled the Northland, the rulers of the northern countries were too ugly, so they didn't have any credibility among the people. This kind of distrust was also indirectly extended. When it comes to a new ruler, the empire needs to go through at least one generation of old and new to re-establish the trust system.

Dampier came to a conclusion. He thought about it. If he hadn't become a black shirt and was tied to the empire, he would have resisted the Black Wing bond himself and would not have dared to act rashly.

...

"It's normal."

Caesar casually put aside the report about his black shirt, and said to Luna who was worried: "I didn't want everyone to rush over to buy it. If that's the case, it would be bad. This is a long-term plan. After time passes and word of mouth spreads, more and more people will buy Blackwing bonds."

"It's a good thing we are immortal species." Luna thought for a while, then patted her chest as if to comfort herself. 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
