Chapter List Chapter 254 Cohen's Great Appetite Late at night, on the streets of the imperial capital of Berelli.
Linzi and Cohen sneakily weave through the dark streets in cloaks, like two thieves who pry doors through windows.
Occasionally, dragoons rode past them, and both of them would quickly run into the dark shadows of the street to avoid the wary gaze of the dragoons.
As soon as Lin Qi paid the bill, the two had a supper at a tavern at the back door of the Fifth University, and then Korn took Lin Qi out and walked down a street with no lights towards the eastern part of the city.
Along the way, the dragoons and brass hats caused great trouble for the two of them, and many times they had to hide in embarrassment, so as not to be discovered by others.
Korn couldn't help but curse with a grin, all of them were good deeds done by those damn thieves, one was the theft of No. 1 Shenghui Street, the other was the theft of the crown of the Victory Palace, plus several major gods had accidents in the imperial capital one after another, and now the security force of the imperial capital is much stronger than before.
If it weren't for Lin Qi's strength being much stronger than these dragoons and bronze hats, and if it weren't for Lin Qi's spiritual power, which had been able to spread out for tens of meters and discover the movements of these people in advance, the two would not have known how many times they had been caught.
"The gods curse those damned thieves so that they never see the lovely gold coins," Korn grunted, shrinking his head and hurrying forward with Lin Qi.
Lin Qi touched his nose a little embarrassed, it seemed that all the big cases in the imperial capital had been related to him recently, and Korn was cursing him After cautiously moving forward for a long time, the two finally came to the famous Golden Lily Square in Dongcheng District.
The square has a long history and existed when the imperial capital was founded.
This small square is surrounded by many of the most famous banks on the mainland, especially all the big banks of the Empire, whose headquarters are located here.
Banks that can have a separate building near Golden Lily Square are the kind of behemoths that can destabilize a country for a while with a single move.
It was once said that if all the banks in the Golden Lily Square of the Gallic Empire were united, they would have the power to subvert an empire with their wealth alone.
Kou En came here in the middle of the night with Lin Qi's third watch, and Lin Qi couldn't help but glance at Kou En secretly.
"My most respected professor, you are not going to rob the vault here," Lin Qi blinked desperately, staring at Professor Cohen.
In the entire imperial capital, Golden Lily Square is the only forbidden place where the garrison force is better than the Victory Palace, because of the financial resources of these big banks, the daily security of the entire Golden Lily Square is maintained by an elite and powerful mercenary group.
Tu, this is the name of the mercenary group that guarded the Golden Lily Square, which is also the only officially recognized large mercenary group in the Gallic Empire, and its history dates back to the Hundred Years of Land Island War, in which "Tu gave the imperial army great help."
Not to mention anything else, there are only twelve Heavenly Rank soldiers stationed in Golden Lily Square, and there are only four Heavenly Rank soldiers stationed in Victory Palace on weekdays, and the defense power of Golden Lily Square is three times that of Victory Palace Lin Qi was very curious, could it be that Professor Cohen was a hidden supreme master, and he could easily take out the twelve heavenly ranks Korn glared at Lin Qi, he shook his shriveled arm, and coughed a few times in a low voice: "Nonsense, Lin Qi, I want to give you a special extracurricular tutoring class today, I want you to understand one thing, looting this kind of thing does not necessarily have to be done with violence" Shaking off his cloak, Korn led Lin Qi to a granite building across the square.
Although it was late at night, the Golden Lily Square was still brightly lit, and there was a circle of lampposts along the square, and the bright street lamps illuminated the square.
Some carriages are parked outside some buildings, and the carriages of these carriages always have a shiny family coat of arms hanging on them.
Lin Qi glanced at these coats of arms, all of them belonged to some well-known wealthy nobles, but Lin Qi didn't understand, could it be that these big nobles had the habit of talking about business in the middle of the night If they want to do something secret, they must come to Golden Lily Square in the middle of the night, why do they have to hang out their coats of arms Several guards in pale cyan armor stood by a fountain pond not far away, looking at Korn and Lin Qi with cold eyes.
In the huge Golden Lily Square, only the two of them are the most sneaky, and they don't look like good things.
They wore heavy cloaks, and their entire bodies were tightly covered by heavy and wide cloaks, and no matter how they looked at them, they had an evil aura.
Two of the guards walked towards them as if nothing had happened, but before the guards could arrive, Korn had already led Lin Qi to the building.
Lin Qi glanced at the building, the door of the building was inlaid with a huge coat of arms of pure gold, and looking at the pattern on it, this was the famous Silver Fir Elephant Bank of the Empire.
Korn knocked heavily on the door of the Silver Fir Elephant Bank, and heard footsteps inside, and then, with a muffled sound, a small door opened on one side of the door that only allowed one person to pass through.
Korn muttered a few words and led Lin Qi into the small door.
The wizened old man who had opened the door walked out of the door, took out a coat of arms and shook it at the two guards who were approaching this way, and the two guards walked back slowly.
The small door closed behind the two of them, and the wizened old man led Lin Qi and Koen forward down a dimly lit corridor, and after several circles in the corridor, the three of them came to a brightly lit and even slightly dazzling room.
Several well-dressed middle-aged people were sitting upright behind a long table, and Kou En pulled Lin Qi to sit opposite these middle-aged people, separated by a long table with a width of one meter and a length of three meters.
"Distinguished guest, according to your appointment, we have everything ready."
Several middle-aged people didn't seem to care about Lin Qi and's strange attire, and one of them, with a cheerful energy, placed a large square cowhide bag on the long table.
Korn opened the leather bag and examined the few contracts in the leather bag in the bright light for a while, then he nodded in satisfaction.
He knocked lightly on the table and muttered a few lowly to Lin Qi, who hurriedly took out the golden ticket, counted out the eighteen million gold coins and handed them to the middle-aged people on the other side of the long table.
Several middle-aged people quickly and carefully checked the golden ticket handed over by Lin Qi, and then they showed a happy and somewhat mysterious smile at the same time.
They nodded solemnly to Lin Qi and the others, and then left the room with the golden tickets.
Then Cohen and Lin Qi quickly left the Silver Fir Elephant Bank, and took advantage of the shadow of the building to come to another bank next door.
The same thing happened, Korn took Lin Qi in and out of the headquarters of these big banks a dozen times, and exchanged all the golden tickets on Lin Qi into a contract.
In just over an hour, Lin Qi's total of nearly 100 million golden tickets were spent, in exchange for a stack of contracts in Kouen's hand.
"Professor Cohen, what are you going to do" Lin Qi was heartbroken and worried at the same time.
What the hell is Korn going to do, what is going on with these contracts, nearly 100 million gold coins, Lin Qi has never spent so much money in his life.
Even though he spent a lot of gold on Hellhammer last time, he still got a lot of weapons and ordnance.
But Cohen's behavior this time was too strange.
Korn smiled mysteriously, and he pointed to the opposite side of Golden Lily Square, a dark building made of black volcanic steelstone.
"This is our goal, Iron Wall Bank" Cohen's face was very strange, he bit his beard a little proudly and smiled: "Iron Wall Bank, the real economic lifeline of the Great Prince Thuram, started by preparing military expenses for the countries of the mainland at the end of the Hundred Years of Land Island War, and is now one of the most powerful banks in the mainland. ” Patting the contracts on his hand vigorously, Korn squinted his eyes and sneered: "These contracts I want you to pay for are all internal loan documents between Tiebi Bank and other banks. ” Lin Qi listened quietly to Korn's explanation, and then he was frightened by Korn's big appetite and broke out in a cold sweat According to Cohen, these banks, whether private family or state-owned, are insatiable monsters.

Generally speaking, the people of the mainland deposit their gold coins in the bank, and the bank issues gold bills for these gold coins, and then charges a fee when the gold bills are cashed, which is the only source of income for the bank according to the understanding of ordinary people.
But in pursuit of profits, how could the bank stupidly hide the golden gold coins in the vault Even if a million gold tickets are exchanged for cash or other denominations, this fee is only how much, and a big banker will eat up that fee at dinner.
Therefore, banks will use the gold coins that others have stored in their coffers to lend to operators in various industries, and obtain high interest returns.
But gradually, the appetite of these bankers grew, and they were pleasantly surprised to find that no one would know how many gold coins they had in their vaults, and if they only had 10 million gold coins in the treasury, but if they issued gold bills with a face value of 100 million gold coins, and then used these gold bills to invest, they could still get huge interest returns As a result, the amount of golden tickets issued by these banks is getting larger and larger, because ordinary people have become accustomed to the convenience brought by golden tickets, and no one will like to run around with heavy gold coins like Lin Qi, so as long as no one opens their vaults, the gold tickets they issue will be exactly the same as the effect of gold coins.
So, there were more and more gold tickets, far more than the amount of gold coins they actually had in their treasury So, occasionally, some customers for some reason will extract in large quantities nowadays And when there is not enough gold in the treasury, some of the big banks will borrow cash from well-connected banks.
Or when they make certain investments or participate in shares, these banks will also borrow from each other.
All in all, it's very complicated.
And Professor Cohen took so many loan contracts from the Iron Wall Bank, just to swallow the Iron Wall Bank in one bite Iron wall banks that can rank in the top 10 in the entire continent.
