Chapter 925 The Bank is Completed
Prince Sariel Raphael and his entourage landed on the island again.

The siren laughed and said, "Both princes have come. Now I have shown my sincerity. If that is not enough, I am willing to find two more."

The fourth prince said in a deep voice, "We still haven't received any reply from the third and fifth brothers."

The Siren sighed, "Even an old tortoise like me can't claim to understand the Sea of ​​Creation, and the dangers within are unpredictable. But the more this is the case, the more I should search for it. Please, Your Highnesses, point me in the right direction."

The two princes looked at each other in bewilderment.

Sariel and Raphael instantly saw through their little scheme. After all, fewer princes are worse than more, and it would be better if they couldn't find any at all. But they couldn't just not look for any.

The fourth prince said humbly, "Second brother, you make the decision, I'll listen to you."

The second prince said, "I remember the last time I contacted my third brother, he was about 5 kilometers northeast of me. Then he seemed to have entered another branch of the Dark Sea and I lost contact with him. Guardian Goddess, could you provide a specific map of the Dark Sea's navigation routes?"

Da Chun, listening from behind the scenes, felt a chill run down his spine. This prince actually wanted the Dark Sea Passage! But refusing to give it up would seem insincere. Should they make an exchange?
As expected, the siren asked in the merchant channel: "Lord, what should we do?"

Da Chun gritted his teeth: "Here! Get ready to discuss the conditions we want for opening a bank account!"

"understood."

The Siren sighed, "Sure, I can provide a few main Dark Sea routes. But I'm worried that the Empire won't forgive me and might use the Dark Sea to attack me. I'm very worried and afraid."

The second prince was taken aback for a moment: "We guarantee that we will not hand over the map to the Empire."

Sariel and Raphael instantly felt the time was ripe: "We have a proposal that will absolutely put the goddess and His Highness at ease!"

Da Chun's heart skipped a beat. What was Ten Lao up to?
The Sirens exclaimed in surprise, "Sage, please tell me!"

Raphael said, "I was impressed by the banking services on the island just now. I think it would be perfectly feasible to open an Imperial Bank on the island, with the two princes owning half of the shares. This way, their interests would be deeply intertwined, and the Guardian Lady wouldn't have to worry about the Empire attacking."

Da Chun was trembling all over when he heard this, he was absolutely shocked!

The Tenth Elder actually thought of the same thing as me!! And his idea is even more comprehensive, using shared interests to guarantee security!! That way, even if I give up half of my shares, I'll still make a huge profit, which is much better than pretending to work and playing house with this business!
The fourth prince was stunned: "But this is the isolated Evil Spirit Island! Even if the Imperial Bank were to open here, no merchants would ever come to the island, and there would be no business to speak of!"

Raphael got excited: "Your Highness, the next step is to open a shadow bank connecting Evil Spirit Island to the forces of Hell! This way, Evil Spirit Island will become a secret trading point for financial exchange between the Empire and Hell! Isolation and mobility are precisely the greatest advantages of a shadow bank!"

Sariel said, "That's right, the island is full of evil spirits, so gaining Hell's trust won't be a problem! As long as the Imperial Bank is opened first, Hell will definitely be unable to resist and will open its own. At that time, the profits of this intermediary will be Your Highness's profits!"

Holy shit! !
Da Chun was stunned! There's even such a thing as a shadow bank! The Ten Elders are far more comprehensive than I thought. After all, what's the point of unilaterally exchanging shipping lanes for banks? The Empire could easily cut off the banks at any time if it turns its back.

But now, as long as the Hell Bank is also secured, with the prince's vested interest, the Empire won't easily cut off the internet connection. Even if it is cut off, at least the Hell Bank will still be connected, and it's a legitimate bank.

But the two princes were startled: "Shadow banking? What if this gets discovered..."

The siren laughed, "I promise I won't tell!"

Raphael urged, "Your Highness, please give us a share of the shares too. Our interests will be aligned, and we will absolutely not tell anyone."

Sariel added, "We should also give Helen, the Goddess, shares, so she won't say anything!"

The prince was stunned: "Give it to her?"

Sariel grew anxious: "The Throne of Helen is very luxurious and ambitious. Isn't the shareholding she's asking for reasonable?"

Siren laughed and said, "If Your Highness and that God are willing to align their interests and guarantee the safety of our island, I promise I will never rob the Empire's cargo ships again."

The fourth prince frowned: "Are you sure you don't want to rob us?"

The Siren sighed, "Actually, when a mouse steals grain, it doesn't know it's stealing; it just feels it's a necessity for survival. When I robbed the Empire's warships, I didn't think it was robbery either. Back then, I had the mindset of a little mouse. Now I've improved; I don't think like that anymore. That's why I invited you gentlemen to come and visit our friendly neighborhood."

The second prince asked, "Fourth brother, what do you think?"

The fourth prince humbly replied, "If my second brother says to do it, then I'll follow him!"

"it is good!"

So the second prince said, "Guardian Goddess, connecting to the Imperial Bank is very simple. I'll just take the ATM system from our warship and install it in your bank!"

Damn it! ?
The siren was a little confused: "Is there a bank on the ship?"

The second prince said, "Ordinary ships don't have that, but our ship is actually an armed luxury cruise ship, so of course it has banking functions."

Siren exclaimed happily, "Great! I also have Old Curly-Haired Lawyer here; we can sign a contract! How about 50% ownership?"

The second prince nodded: "Alright, let's disassemble the machine first. Although disassembling the machine is simple, the operation of this banking system is quite complex. I know a little about it, so let me personally train the bank's employees."

The siren beamed with joy: "Thank you so much, Your Highness!"

Da Chun was utterly astonished and then burst into laughter. "So that works too?! No wonder he's one of the Ten Elders; his connections are definitely stronger than mine. Giving up 50% will revitalize things... no, that's not right either!"

My so-called city lord status is not recognized by the system at all. The Black Flag Order has never worked on the dead, so it has no effect on Evil Spirit Island.

But that's fine too, at least they can't find out I'm behind it. My old friend once said that public opinion is the greatest political force; the system may not acknowledge it, but as long as they do…

……

Top Ten Chat Group.

As the evil lawyer distributed several golden documents for signing, the chat group erupted in applause. Of course, this document was only a contract for acquiring 50% of the bank's shares; how the two princes, Sariel and Raphael, would divide the shares would have to be renegotiated among the five of them.

Meanwhile, considering that the eldest, third, and fifth princes might also become shareholders, the internal division will not be discussed for now. Let's disassemble and reassemble the bank machines first.

The next step is to find the connection to Hell Bank.

This is actually quite troublesome.

Raphael thought for a moment: "Currently, the only Hell City we can directly access is Shadow City, right? But the players who can access Shadow City seem to be Alpha and that guy from the God's Team?"

Sariel said irritably, "We absolutely cannot let Curry get involved! Anything Curry is involved in is doomed! Let alone something as confidential as ours. I even suspect that this Turtle Island was created by Alpha behind the scenes."

Xila said, "Don't rush. Anyway, my guild's guardian deity is also inquiring about the shadow banking. Besides, the Black Dragon Lord is right next to me. She must have a way and the idea of ​​opening a business in the surface world, right?"

Michael said, "Sira is right. The main task at present is to use the bank to stabilize the cooperative relationship between Evil Spirit Island and the prince. The bank's profits are not important."

Sariel suddenly remembered something: "Theoretically, the Sea of ​​Creation should also be connected to Hell, right? I think it's the fourth level of Hell? Anyway, the old turtle can move, so we can consider going to Hell to explore. That was our original goal in building the ship!"

Metatron sighed, "I even committed smuggling for this goal. Now that we have Old Tortoise, we don't even need to build ships anymore."

Michael: "Good, now that we've resolved all the current troubles, we can consider putting it into operation." While they were discussing this, Sila suddenly received a notification—a notification from the Broken Bottle Merchant Guild: The Guild's Guardian God wants to contact you.

Sila laughed: "See, she must have come to ask me."

contact!

Sila asked, "What is it, Guardian God?"

Guardian: "Elder, do you know how to open a bank account in Hell?"

"Just as I thought!" Sila immediately asked, "Is the master in a particular hurry for money?"

Guardian: "I'm just interested. It's embarrassing that an evil god doesn't have a hell account."

Xila asked, "Boss, it would be embarrassing if I said I didn't know. Should we leak a little bit about Turtle Island?"

Michael thought for a moment: "Sure, it might trigger an event. But since it's something that hasn't been done yet, don't go into too much detail."

"understood."

Sila replied: "Currently, I know of a secret evil force at sea that may have this ability."

The guardian spirit exclaimed in surprise, "A sea evil spirit? Even if ordinary people had money, they couldn't go there!"

Xila said mysteriously, "But it is said that the force is an island carried by a giant tortoise god, capable of traversing secret spaces and moving to the sea areas near major cities."

The guardian spirit was astonished: "Turtle God's Back Island?"

Sila said, "Yes, I can only wait for news about the rest for now."

The guardian spirit was silent for a moment: "You mean, you can obtain information about this island?"

Sila suddenly realized that something was wrong with the conversation, since she could only get information from the player level, not from the game level.

"Actually, we can't confirm the authenticity of the news yet."

Guardian: "Understood. Contact me if you have any news."

"Don't worry, my lord."

After the conversation ended, Sila was quite confused: "I feel like there's something wrong with the conversation. Did I trigger an event?"

Gabriel said, "Her tone was very shocked, and there was a few seconds of silence in between. That must have triggered it, right?"

Sila got excited: "I'm really looking forward to seeing what it'll be like when Uriel transfers the money to her after the deal is done."

Gabriel laughed; "That's not the point at all. Didn't we suspect that Ironflame Village might have such a shadow bank?"

Sariel laughed and said, "We must eradicate them! We can't leave any competitors for our Ghost Island shadow bank."

Sila was getting impatient: "Ugh, when will this animal protection event be finished? These guys from the Chamber of Commerce are such a madman, they've already cleared out the sewers with five pets, is the progress really that slow...?"

Sariel was suddenly startled: "Hey, another Holy Spirit Architect has appeared. The island is quite powerful..."

……

Evil Island Bank.

The long-absent contractor, Piyande, also appeared, directing the bank's renovation work to facilitate the placement of two ATM machines.

Just as Da Chun was feeling sentimental, the magic mirror in his inventory started to move.

Could it be double good news? Is there news about the Blood Crystal Bat?
Ellen: "Darling, Bellena heard from Vivian that our Evil Island has somehow acquired the function of a hell bank?"

Da Chun was suddenly stunned. Holy crap! The eight characters were barely written, where did these NPCs get the information?
It could only be the Ten Elders, Sila!
Da Chun immediately understood and asked, "If it was just a plan, how did the news get to your side so quickly?"

Eileen was puzzled: "It's Dark Remia asking. She's the evil spirit that supplied the island with the Silver City mithril mine, and she knows there shouldn't be a Hell Bank on the island. The only possibility is that there's a traitor on the island?"

Holy crap!! Those ten guys are making a complete mess of things, directly misleading the NPCs into thinking there's a traitor on the island!
Da Chun panicked: "There are no traitors on the island. Don't overthink it. It must be an elder."

Eileen said in a deep voice, "I always thought she wasn't a bitch. I was wrong. If I get out of prison next time, I'll definitely make her faint!"

What the hell!

Da Chun panicked: "Don't do anything rash. The Chamber of Commerce's business depends on the elders. Don't disturb her."

Not to mention, I also gave her a huge piece of divine essence from the ruined city, which was a considerable investment.

Eileen said, "We know, don't worry."

Da Chun became even more anxious: "How can I rest assured?"

Eileen smiled and said, "Don't worry. By the way, my Mirror God power is improving more and more, so I'll be able to contact my dears even faster in the future."

Hearing her sly smile, Da Chun couldn't help but feel relieved: "Okay, darling..."

After the conversation ended, Da Chun was in turmoil.

Then I suddenly remembered the battle in Xila Ruins City. I should have gained several million privilege points. With so many privilege points, plus the various methods of the Ten Elders, it is possible that they could remove me, the imprisoned guild leader, and take over my base.

As for Dark Remia, who is the guardian deity of the merchant guild, as long as she is alert, she can contact Fafnir and stop Sira from taking over my business, right?
Thinking about this, Da Chun couldn't help but feel relieved. Come to think of it, Remia already knew about Turtle Island, so Fafnir should know too, and he felt so embarrassed that he had gone to such lengths to keep it from her for so long…

……

9 pm.

The bank erupted in cheers, the renovation and relocation officially completed. To celebrate, the princes activated the salute function of three ships, and the entire island's evil spirits were enveloped in a celebratory atmosphere of fireworks.

Da Chun was also incredibly relieved. Whether or not he could connect to Hell was no longer important; what mattered was that he now had a real bank. When they were all gone, he could go to the bank and see if his mechanical form could transfer and exchange money.
Holy crap, that's too narrow-minded! With banks, they can lend and borrow money at will, and territory development will take off like crazy.

Wait a minute! Suddenly, Da Chun discovered that he had a new program buff above his head!

Holy crap, they actually created a festival! But the festival effect is too weak, it doesn't even have any attributes, which is a bit... well, it's better to have a festival than nothing.
