Chapter 176 Gold Coin Exchange

David Mo didn't rest well, because Candice was wandering in front of him in her pajamas all night, and she couldn't help but glance at her for a few more times. Her coquettish look still made him feel throbbed.

After lunch the next day, the group took a carriage to visit the Dead Grass City. Although it was called Dead Grass, flowers bloomed everywhere, branches and leaves were lush, and they were infinitely vibrant and full of vitality.

Almost all merchant ships coming and going must be moored here to replenish supplies, so the business of construction is extremely developed. In addition, a more prosperous undertaking is what Flo once said to exchange gold coins.

Because of its superior geographical location, the gold coin exchange business here is extremely popular. There is only one official approved location on Fire Island, but there are also many small businessmen hiding their heads and tails on the street.

There were so many people in the official location that they had been waiting in line for a long time, but they were still far away. A few women were extremely bored in staying in the carriage outside the gold coin exchange center, but there was nothing else to do except complain a few words.

Fein and David Mo sat in the waiting room together. The water in the teacup had been changed several times. David Mo frowned deeper and deeper, and Fein, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but scratch.

"What a broken store?! You dare to say it is an official designated location. At this level, it's better to go to the street to find the small merchants to exchange it!" After saying that, he shook the teacup in his hand and signaled the waiter to pour him tea.

David Mo didn't say anything, staring at the growing line outside the glazed window. He secretly estimated in his heart that according to this kind of efficiency of work, if he wanted to line up, he would probably have to wait until evening.

Just now, Fein also asked the staff here that the business is not so popular every day, but recently several giant beasts have appeared on the sea, and many ships have been damaged to varying degrees. Therefore, the number of ships coming to Flame Island for maintenance has increased suddenly, so there has been such a good business in recent times.

"Do you two gentlemen have to exchange gold coins today?" The waiter who poured the water was a boy with many freckles on his face. His eyes were a bit sneaky, obviously not just asking.

David Mo did not answer because he had just seen the waiter whispering with several customers. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Holy Empire, but there are nothing else to recommend.

However, the notice outside the lobby of the gold coin exchange is very clear. All acts of redeeming gold coins in other places are illegal. Once caught, you will be fined to trade twice the amount of gold coins!

In this unfamiliar place, he didn't want any accidents, so he took Feinlai, the so-called official designated location to trade.

But Fein was a little moved. After all, he had been waiting here for too long and he had gradually lost his patience. So he looked up and glanced at the slightly shy waiter, and smiled faintly: "What's the saying if you have to redeem it today?"

While pouring tea, the waiter bent down and whispered: "If you want it today, the younger one will have other ways to exchange it with the two masters, but the proportion should be slightly lower..."

His words were pretty normal. After all, if he wanted to be faster, it would be normal to have a lower proportion. Fein looked at David Mo and wanted to see what he was reacting, but unfortunately he couldn't tell whether he agreed or not.

The waiter also saw the relationship between the master and servant between the two. Seeing that the young noble did not respond, he felt a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and bent down slightly and prepared to leave. At this time, David Mo suddenly coughed lightly and said lightly: "How low is the ratio? This guy might as well speak it out and listen?"

Hearing his inquiry, a hint of joy flashed in the waiter's eyes and quickly replied in a low voice: "A hundred gold coins have silver notes for ninety-seven gold coins..."

The ratio of the gold coin exchange room is to exchange silver notes of 100 gold coins for ninety-eight gold coins, so the price this waiter said was relatively fair. David Mo pondered for a moment, then said lightly: "Then how should we go? Could it be that the young man took us there in person?"

The waiter shook his head, nodded and said, "Master, you are joking. The young man still has to stay here to work... Go out and turn left at the second alley and walk in. There is an umbrella shop. You told the aunt inside that it was introduced by Rovinci, so she will naturally take you to the shop to exchange gold coins... If nothing happens, the young man will leave first."

Fein waved his hand and signaled that he could leave. Then he whispered to David Mo: "Master, if you continue to wait, I don't know what year and year will it take. Why don't we try it according to this guy's words?"

The issues that David Mo considered were more thorough than Fein. He shook his head and said, "This kind of wild path has always been unreliable. It doesn't matter if the ratio of gold coins is lower. I'm afraid that the scammers want to get trapped, and they may lose both their lives and their wealth at that time."

Fein disagreed and said, "Scammers are trapped? Master, you are too careful. Didn't Fein boast that no one on this Fire Island can stop me except that old devil."

As the saying goes, he is a master of art and courage. Feien's words may sound a little reckless at first, but his cultivation level is genuine, and it is understandable to say these words.

David Mo didn't say anything, he wanted to continue watching for a while, until a long time later, he found that there was a kind of member in the gold coin exchange office, who could actually cut the line as he pleased. He had to sigh helplessly and smiled bitterly at Fein: "It seems that if you want to exchange gold coins, you can only try the waiter's way."

After handing the number plate in his hand back, the two left the hustle and bustle gold coin exchange room. When several women saw them finally came out, they started to ask.

"Master, you guys are out. We are almost bored when we stay outside..." Martha took two steps forward, hugging David Mo's arm and complained.

David Mo touched his nose, smelled the unique fragrance in the girl's body, and said helplessly: "There are too many people, and there is no way to line up. Fein and I came out to change to other methods."

Seeing the resentful expressions on the faces of several women, he smiled slightly, obviously knowing what they were thinking, so he smiled at Sharapova and said, "Take them around the city and we meet in the hotel before dinner."

Sharaba, a middle-aged aunt, has learned to drive a carriage, and with her advanced cultivation, she entrusted several women to her, and David Mo had almost no worries.

Although Fein was reluctant to part with Sharaba, he knew that the woman was not interested in exchange for gold coins, so he had to stand aside and watch them leave.

The twin sisters were extremely reluctant to leave. They stared at David Mo with big watery eyes, obviously not wanting to be separated from him. Candice had no choice but to put down the curtains and stop letting them look at him.

The attachment of these two little girls to themselves made David Mo feel a little embarrassed. Since helping them to end their grudges, the surnames of the two little girls gradually became cheerful, and the expression of their inner thoughts became more and more obvious.

Without saying anything, he and Fein turned left and arrived at the second alley as the young man said. After walking in for about twenty or thirty steps, they saw an extremely obscure umbrella shop. At the door of the shop was a gray-haired old woman, with rough and shriveled hands, and she was carefully tied with an oil-paper umbrella.

When she saw someone coming, she immediately showed an old smile and said kindly: "Do you two guests want umbrellas? The old woman's craftsmanship is pretty good, and she can guarantee you the quality of these oil paper umbrellas..."

Fein waved his hand and interrupted, "The old man misunderstood. We are not here to buy oil paper umbrellas... It was recommended by Rofenci, a guy in the gold coin exchange office."

When the old woman heard that it was Lofenci who introduced them, her face smiled even more. She stood up and hammered her hunched waist twice, and nodded with a smile: "That's right, then come in with me..."

David Mo hesitated for a moment and followed in. He hadn't figured out what this place was. Such a simple shop shouldn't have a large sum of money.

The shop is very small, and behind it is a narrow corridor. Three or five big men with upper bodies stand on both sides. When they see the old woman bringing people in, one of them shouts opposite: "A guest is here!"

At the end of the corridor was a somewhat dilapidated yard, with a few tents set up inside, and there was no sign of the ability to exchange large amounts of gold coins. Fein couldn't help but frown.

A dozen big men walked out of the tent, and the old woman said to the most burly man standing in the middle: "These are two merchants introduced by Lofenci..." After saying that, she turned to David Mo and Fein and introduced him: "This is my son. He is the boss here, specializing in exchange for gold coins. We always pay attention to honesty and trustworthiness in business transactions..."

David Mo didn't say anything. He looked at the dozen big men around him. He always felt that this didn't seem to be doing business, but he was a little stunning to do business without money.

Fein didn't care about so much. His face returned to his pride and frowned and said, "Your place is too simple, right? The amount of gold coins we want to exchange is very large. Can you cash it out?"

The burly man hugged his hands in front of his chest and snorted coldly: "The whole Kucao City is not a number that I, Kuro, cannot exchange for. Since I dare to do this business, I can even make it up even if I sell it in a bad way... Tell me, how many gold coins do you want to exchange for?!"

Hearing his tone of affirmation, David Mo didn't say anything more. Four silver notes flashed in his hand and said lightly: "This is the silver notes of the Holy Empire Bank, a total of 40,000 gold coins. According to your rule of 100 to 97, I will repay them all for me."

A happier look flashed in the eyes of the burly man, pointing to the silver notes in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Take the silver notes to me and verify them. After confirming that they are correct, we will give you the gold coins."

David Mo shook his head gently and said lightly: "Let me see your gold coins first. Forty thousand gold coins are not small, so there are still some rules to follow in some things."

The man who claimed to be Kuro smiled disdainfully and said sarcastically: "You outsiders are so versatile. We have always been innocent in business, but since you want to see gold coins, I will show it to you!"
