"Dad, have you let go?"
Little Mallory, who was only eight years old, pedaled his bicycle hard, shouting excitedly and frightenedly from time to time.
"No!"
Duke Mallory strode behind the bicycle, his hands already loosened.
In a corner of the garden, the duchess, princess, and maids were all smiling, smiling but saying nothing.
"Dad, you haven't let go, have you?"
"No, feel free to ride."
Duke Mallory responded, walking, he stopped.
Watching my son pedal away on his bicycle.
Little Mallory pedaled his bicycle around and around the garden. After two laps, he suddenly realized that his father was standing next to him.
"Dad—help me! Help me!"
Little Mallory was instantly frightened, and the car even swerved. He was so frightened that he did not dare to look at his father. He could only stare ahead and try to maintain balance.
Duke Mallory smiled and said: "Don't you ride very well?"
"Dad, help me—"
Little Mallory cried loudly, and while crying, he kicked hard, trying to go around the garden again and again.
He wanted to stop but didn't know how.
"Dad, help me, I can't get down...Mom...help me..."
Little Mallory's hoarse voice echoed in the garden, but except for him who was crying, everyone was laughing, and his sister Nancy Ma even bent over with laughter.
After a long time, little Mallory couldn't hold on anymore, made a mistake, and fell to the ground with a "pop".
This time he stopped crying. He got up, wiped away his tears, and shouted angrily at his father: "Dad, I hate you!"
After yelling, he ran away angrily.
Duke Mallory smiled and watched his son run away, with a hint of distress flashing deep in his eyes.
"I always thought you were holding on with a mage's hand?"
The Duchess came over and glared at her husband. Even though she was over forty years old, she still retained her charm.
"He always has to face difficulties alone. I can't always protect him!"
Duke Mallory stopped smiling.
At this moment, the loving father disappeared, replaced by the majesty of the second largest mine owner in the empire.
Recently, Duke Mallory's mood has been like using fifteen buckets to fetch water, seven coming up and eight going down - seven up and eight down.
As the second largest mine owner in the empire, the sudden outbreak of war in the empire and the demand for weapons and armor made him make a lot of money.
Unexpectedly, the good mood here has not lasted for two days. The God of the Internet has inexplicably created an Internet bank.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him, but Dharma God Deng Dan'er suddenly ordered him to use Internet Banking to settle large transactions.
When Mallory heard the order, his first reaction was anger and resistance.
It is a taboo for the empire to interfere in the business between nobles!
He didn't even bother to think about whether this was good for him. Just this behavior made people disgusted and angry.
Because you can interfere with his settlement methods now, you can interfere more in the future.
However, the Dharma Gods Qimor and Bessie also issued similar orders to their followers, which left him with no chance to make ends meet, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it.
However, when he used Internet banking for settlement, he suddenly discovered that his business was even better.
Not only does he no longer have to send a large number of guards to escort gold coins, but the funds left in his bank account will also continue to increase interest.
You know, his funds are always in units of "ten thousand", and the interest that increases every day is extremely considerable.
Under the temptation of profit, although he was careful not to deposit all his assets in the bank, he had become accustomed to placing business funds in the bank.
This, he told himself, was the bank of the internet gods after all.
How could God be greedy for his gold coins
The only thing that puzzled him was, where does God get the interest
However, when Mr. Ajeev, a follower of the Internet God, created the "Dragon Factory", he finally understood how interest was generated.
As far as he knew, all the funds for Ajaf to open the Dragon Factory were borrowed from Internet Bank at an interest rate of 3%.
This news made him so angry that he almost cursed!
You know, what the bank lent was his money.
If the loan cannot be recovered, won't his money be ruined
Before he could think about whether to go to the bank to withdraw money after each transaction - the bicycle appeared.
That day, Lord Ajeev rode this magical metal creation and flew through the streets of Willis.
Overnight, it caused a sensation on the Internet and stunned Kerville!
A magician used photography magic to record the scene of Lord Ajeev riding a bicycle.
In the picture, Lord Ajaf is smiling, with strong wind blowing through his hair, rustling back.
Behind him sat a graceful woman, holding Lord Ajaf's back with a shy look on her face, her three thousand black hairs flying in the wind.
The virtual screen signs on the streets of Willis turned into colorful streams of light, flowing and blooming between the two people.
At that moment, the white clothes were like snow and the red robes were like flowers.
That scene of being like a fairy companion, carefree and at ease, also touched the hearts of countless people.
I don’t know how many nobles and commoners are trying their best to find out what Lord Ajaf has under his belt
The bicycle made a sensation in the empire overnight!
I don’t know how many nobles and wealthy businessmen inquired about and purchased it, imitating Ajeev’s behavior.
During this time, the young nobles and wealthy businessmen in Willis no longer rode in carriages, and no longer pulled out their unicorn horses to show off.
There are scenes of girls riding bicycles everywhere, and the trendy scene has caused a national fashion trend.
Many civilians are also imitating it.
The only thing that dissatisfied the nobles was that the bicycles were too cheap!
The cheapest one only costs 998 coppers, less than 10 silver.
In Kerver, skilled blacksmiths are paid about 100 to 200 coppers a day, which is equivalent to buying a bicycle with only seven or eight days' salary.
This is simply too embarrassing for the nobles!
Fortunately, after Julong Factory learned about the situation, it quickly launched high-end privately customized bicycles.
It is more beautiful, more stylish, the materials used are more advanced, and the details of the structure can be customized.
In the sunlight, it looks like a work of art.
The most important thing is that its price starts from 10 Kvir gold coins, which is money that a pariah cannot earn in his lifetime.
The nobles were finally satisfied.
Mallory was also satisfied.
The prosperity of Julong Factory means that its solvency is very good. Naturally, he does not have to worry about Internet Bank's problem of making ends meet.
He was satisfied not only that his bank savings were guaranteed, but also that Julong Factory required a large amount of steel to produce bicycles, and he was the second largest mine owner in the empire.
I heard that orders from Julong Factory have been scheduled for next year.
And his orders came in like snowflakes.
Here, Duke Mallory has to praise the internet gods!
The emergence of the Internet has made doing business extremely convenient.
In the past, his clients needed to contact his housekeeper in person to discuss business.
Now his customers, even as far away as Tweet on the border of the empire, can contact him remotely via the Internet anytime and anywhere to place orders.
What
What if it is a fake order
Don't be afraid!
Just ask for a deposit!
Through Internet Banking, the deposit payment is just a matter of moving your fingers. There is no need to send someone to travel long distances or spend a high price to use a magic teleportation array.
In addition, the transfer records retained by Internet Banking are not afraid of default by both parties.
It can be said that the emergence of the Internet and even banks has increased his business efficiency countless times.
"I heard that this year's apprentice magician examination is about to begin. It is also a rare unified examination. I am a little worried about Nancy Ma."
The Duchess looked at Ma Nancy, who was chasing her brother, with a bit of worry in her eyes.
In the past, even if the examinations for trainee magicians in major magic academies were different, they were all quite dangerous.
In every assessment, there are many cases of noble children falling.
Even if you are a duke or noble, it will be difficult for you to influence the magic assessment. This is the foundation of the country of Kver and no force is allowed to interfere.
Not to mention the unified entrance examination this time.
"Don't worry, I heard that this year's apprentice magician assessment will be held in [Conquering the Second Plane]."
Duke Mallory said, he couldn't help but praise the God of the Internet again.
"Is the news reliable?"
When the Duchess heard this she was both surprised and delighted.
