"Hello, Saint Lady."
The feeling of shaking hands is very bad. Although the material of the hand gauze is very high-end, the touch is really bad.
But this is not a problem. Mozo withdrew his hand and pointed at the box and asked:
“This is my stuff, right?”
Iron Bank Saint Laura Liss smiled and handed it over with both hands, saying:
"That's right. This is the seal you deposited in our Iron Bank—Thunder."
Mozo took the box and opened the buckles one by one. When he opened the lid, he revealed an exquisite knight's sword with golden arcs on its surface.
Lightning Path Level 1 Sealed Item 1-87—Thunder.
This is a powerful sealed item that is madly specialized in frontal combat capabilities. Although there are no weak points among the first-level sealed items, the Thunder Sword is a rare one that is completely specialized in frontal combat.
A mid-level transcendent who holds this thunder sword is even qualified to kill a demigod instantly.
Although the opponent should be able to kill you instantly, at least you have the capital to fight head-on, right
And most importantly, the price of this seal is also very acceptable. That is Gluttony.
After using Thunder, the user will fall into a gluttony state of varying duration depending on the intensity of use.
Mozo was looking forward to the day when Miss Knight would frantically look for food and drink after she thundered Excalibur.
Well, it’s interesting to think about.
After inspecting the goods in person, Mozo closed the lid with confidence and looked at the Saint of the Iron Bank and asked:
"The gentleman just said that you want to talk to me. I wonder what the respected Saint wants to talk about?"
After delivering Lei Ming, the Saint of the Iron Bank sat casually on the sofa. The maid behind her, who was as delicate as a doll, immediately served her delicious coffee and snacks.
Mozo sat opposite her and asked with a smile:
"Won't you give some to the poor guest? My companion and I have not even had any food."
The Saint of the Iron Bank smiled and refused:
"My maids don't serve others. Of course, if you are really hungry, I can help you arrange a sumptuous banquet. Don't worry, with the ability of the Iron Bank, as long as you ask, we can immediately take you there to enjoy the food."
Mozo refused:
"No, my dear Saint, I am short of money and I am afraid I cannot afford the feast at the Iron Bank."
The Saint of the Iron Bank laughed jokingly:
"If you are really in dire straits, why not sell your Thunder to me? I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward!"
"You're kidding. I'm not that embarrassed. So what do you want to say?"
The Saint of the Iron Bank stopped beating around the bush and raised her hand to support her face, looking at Mozo seriously and said:
"I just wanted to tell you something that will soon be known to everyone."
"I'm all ears."
"In order to appease the anger of the Loran people and severely punish Prince Douglas for his treason, Emperor Heather will sever all of the Douglas family's fiefdoms except for the main city, and he will also reduce Lord Douglas' status to a court baron who cannot be inherited and has no rights."
After hearing the news, a trace of loneliness flashed in Mozo's eyes. The Hesser people really did this.
But he immediately hid this trace of emotion and said in surprise:
“This is really regrettable.”
The Saint of the Iron Bank also picked up her coffee and drank it while saying:
"It's a pity for the Douglas family, but it may not be the case for others."
"I don't quite understand what you mean."
After taking a sip of coffee, the Iron Bank Saint decided that it was too bitter and started adding sugar:
"Emperor Heather has opened up the borders between the north and south of the empire. Isn't this a good thing for him? But it's bitter for the Douglas family, just as bitter as my coffee. Do you think anyone will add a piece of sugar to them?"
After saying that, the Saint of the Iron Bank put the sugar cube in her hand into the coffee and looked at Mozo meaningfully.
Then he said something that made Audrey's hair stand on end:
"What do you think would happen if the young wolf master was still alive?"
Mozo reminded with an unchanged expression:
"The Iron Bank is based on absolute neutrality!"
"What are you talking about, Mr. Lost Knight? I just talked about something that will soon be known to everyone in private with my client as a gossip."
Mozo shook his head and said:
"Your words are so terrible, I think I should leave now."
"Please help yourself!"
The Saint of the Iron Bank smiled and pointed to the door.
After Mozo took Audrey away, the Iron Bank Saint's face immediately changed and she quickly took the warm water brought by the maid to relieve the sweet taste buds.
Then she smacked her lips and said speechlessly:
“Even though I’m just saying something that will soon be known to everyone, is it really worth it?”
131 The Last Green Angel
The maid continued to serve him warm water with a heartache, and said affirmatively:
“It’s worth it.”
After slightly alleviating the choking sensation in her mouth, the Iron Bank Saint asked in confusion:
"He should have guessed that it was you, not me, who really wanted to see him, but do you think he knows who you really are?"
The maid shook her head and said:
"I'm not sure. He's too smart."
"We have seen too many smart ones."
"But he's different. He reminds me of the past."
"So he is really the Young Wolf Lord of the North? But we don't seem to have seen the Old Wolf Lord?"
The maid continued to shake her head and said:
"I'm not sure if he is the Young Wolf Lord."
This time, the Saint of the Iron Bank was really confused.
"If you can't be sure, then why say it's worth it?"
In the beginning, when Laura Liss agreed to come over and say those words that the Iron Bank should never say, it was because the other party said that Mozo was very likely the Young Wolf Lord who was faking his death.
Laura Lis came here reluctantly. After all, if the other party was really the Young Wolf Lord, then the Heather Empire would probably enter its end years ahead of schedule.
But if we can’t be sure now, where does this value come from? Shouldn’t this be a huge loss? ?
But the maid said something that completely confused Laura Liss:
"Because he reminded me of a lot of people."
After being confused for a long time, Laura Liss asked tentatively:
"Who are they?"
The maid looked at Laura Liss and said seriously:
"I can't tell you, and you don't need to investigate. This is for your own good. From now on, whatever identity he shows you, that's who he is."
This was the first time that the Iron Bank Saint saw the maid show such a serious expression in front of her.
This made her somewhat unconvinced and said:
"With the wealth of the Iron Bank and the greatness of the goddess, can't we even trace it?"
The maid continued to shake her head seriously and said:
"No, the Iron Bank's wealth is indeed terrifying, but the Iron Bank is just wealth."
Others might not understand what was said, but Laura Liz felt a chill down her spine.
If the Iron Bank really wants to do something, with its wealth, it can be said that it is invincible within the existing framework.
But if the Iron Bank can't do anything, then that doesn't mean...
Immediately, the Saint of the Iron Bank said very seriously:
"How about we list him as an unwelcome customer and refuse to serve him forever!"
This was originally a joke she made to ease the atmosphere. The Iron Bank was based on absolute neutrality, or in other words, it welcomed everyone. As long as you abided by the rules of the Iron Bank, even an evil god could deposit money in the Iron Bank.
But the maid on the opposite side was thinking very seriously about the joke of the Saint of the Iron Bank.
This made the Iron Bank Saint even more terrified:
"Hey, hey, hey, you can't be serious? Is it really that scary?"
But the maid suddenly laughed at this moment:
"It's a lie."

As Mozo walked out of the Iron Bank headquarters, Audrey pulled him by the corner of his clothes and whispered in his ear:
"Mozo, why do I feel like they know who you are?"
Mozo thought carefully and then said soothingly:
"It doesn't matter. The Iron Bank's way of dealing with things means that even if they knew, they wouldn't do anything to us."
The Iron Bank's wealth was terrifying, but the gods and kings still accepted it, not only because the other party had a goddess, but also because the other party was absolutely neutral. At the same time, mortals also needed a stable financial system.
In order to avoid accidentally returning to the Age of Gods, where the world could be destroyed at any time, or the completely meaningless Age of Savagery or the boring and empty Age of Ignorance.
Money is the root of all evil, but it is also a powerful guarantee of civilization.
Once the Iron Bank no longer maintains this absolute neutrality, it will inevitably become the enemy of the gods and immediately become the target of the Crusaders.
The Iron Bank was successful, but it was also this success that locked them up.
Audrey thought about it and accepted Mozo's comfort. Then Audrey talked about another thing:
"Mozo, do you think that maid is weird?"
"Strange?"
"Yeah. It just looks weird. It's obviously beautiful, but it gives me the creeps."
Audrey couldn't help but touch her arm as she spoke, as if the fear still lingered in her body and mind.
Mozo was stunned when he heard this. The other party had no intention or movement of attacking, but Mozo soon understood.
Uncanny valley effect!
"You know that both the Storm King and the Sun King mentioned the uncanny valley effect, right?"
"I know. The more human-like it is, the more frightening it is. What do you mean?"
Audrey was shocked when she realized what was happening.
"Yes, that maid is a doll. A very high-level doll."
Audrey was surprised by the news for a while, and after trying hard to digest it, she asked again:
"So where are we going next?"
Mozo glanced at the sky and said:
"Let's find a place to stay first, and then go prepare our next phase of potions."

In the huge sewer of Florence, a man covered in green hair was staring at a rat in the sewer. Next to him was a pure white scale.
But what is surprising is that the Libra can actually speak. It clearly does not have any organs that can open its mouth, but the Libra is still speaking.
