Chapter 2: Chapter 2 - Origin Church - Fortune Bank
"When you get into this industry, you are going to need special weapons. Our Church sells powerful and reliable enchanted things at a reasonable price so everyone could survive."
"Some creatures can be solved with normal firearms but some existences like evil ghosts need enchanted bullets to damage them. Of course, I would like to advice you to run directly if you accidentally met with a very strong existence. Then, call the Church. Church will send our strong personnel to eliminate the evil things."
"Like how you did in Cerriro Town is a very dangerous thing. I read the official report on the Church's internal network and I was surprised to know that there was a daemon lord of tier three. You guys were dancing on the blade. It is very lucky for you to meet his highness Steller. Otherwise, the whole town would just silently disappear like that when we couldn't even find the subspace the daemon created."
Looking at the woman occasionally glancing at Chester and talking non-stop on the way, Peter could only silently bear it in the back. To be honest, he felt that he did a good thing. Although it was just a joke and a try, who knew that she would be a nympho girl. Nevertheless, things went well. Peter felt good after thinking about it again. He could proudly say to other brothers that he contributed a lot to their brotherhood when he went back to their bar. Who made them in serious lack of knowledge about the other side of the world.
Soon, the three reached in front of a metal door at the end of the staircase. Cathy walked forwards a bit and stood in front of a metal box. As she put her palm on it, the metal box lighted up and scanned her body with red rays. Then, it closed again and the door opened on its own. Cathy looked back at the two men who were doubting their life and said, "Follow me. You are going to find out many good things. And the only problem would be your wealth because we use a special currency and mortal currencies don't work here. Of course, there is exchange service but it is going to be expensive."
Peter said while following at two steps away from the two, "Wow, I was really amazed. That door is very high tech looking. Isn't it?"
Cathy explained, "Yes, we have a big reform since four decades ago. It is all thanks to his highness Lord of knowledge. Everything changed. The technology mastered by our Church is actually very advanced. Of course, it is okay to tell you about these because this is public information on the internal network. And also because of our Church, our united states was able to stop the advance of Aryan Empire under the rule of Kaiser III. At that time, we were helpless and about to lose. However, due to the advanced technologies provided by us, united states was able to win the later battles and able to sign the Paris peace treaty. It was hard to us at that time. After all, who made them to have the three greatest scientists of mankind; Kaiser III, Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla. It was hard for mortals to fight with them."
After passing through many doors, she finally stopped in front of a door and ended her explanation. It has a name carved on it; The Fortune Bank. Cathy twisted the door handle and opened it. Unlike what Chester and Peter thought, the room behind the door has a very huge space with wooden counter occupying half of the room and the other half is a marble-floor hall with several benches near the wall. They thought it would be a small room because there were only two meters apart between each door they had passed along the long corridor. Sure enough, it is a magical world where impossible things can exist. The two men thought the same way. However, in the huge hall which nearly two hundreds people can stay spaciously in it, there were only two women behind the counter.
The two women stopped playing with their phones after they found that someone had come in. Both of them are beautiful and graceful. They were wearing simple white uniforms. The one on the right who seemed more lively smiled and greeted, "Hello, Cathy, a rare visitor. What bring you here today?"
Cathy smiled back and said politely, "Fortune be with you, sister Lilac. This is Mr.Peter and Mr.Chester , survivors of that Cerriro accident. They have formed a mercenary team and the registering was completed just now."
Lilac nodded and teased, "And you fell in love with one of them so you wanna be their recommender, letting them exchange some money to buy enchanted things which would allow them a smooth sailing. Am I right?"
Cathy blushed and argued back weakly. Looking at the two teasing and twittering, the other woman who seemed more mature smiled softly at Chester and Peter and said, "Gentlemen, allow me to explain the currency system we use here. By the way, you can call me V."
The two men walked to the counter and leaned on it with interest. V put three different coins on the table and said, "As you see, this is silver coin. You can spend one grand to exchange for one silver coin here. This one in the middle is gold coin. It is worth one hundred silver coins or a hundred grands. This one is purple gold coin which is equal to one hundred gold coins."
Then, she took out another coin and said, "Of course, there is also copper coin like this. But we don't exchange them here. We only use it in inner market. One hundred copper coins is one silver coin. They are mainly used for shopping and internal circulation. When you go to inner market and spend your silver coins, you will receive the changes from vendors. So, don't worry about it. We don't exchange them here because there is no item lower than one silver coin here. You will know about it when you go to other rooms which sell various items."
Peter put back the gold coin on the counter and said, "Can you take money from my bank account?"
V smiled and said, "Of course, we have a vast network. May I know which bank is it?"
Looking at the beauty operating the computer behind the counter, Peter said calmly as he handed over the master card in his hand, "Titan bank, password is *****. I want to exchange $1m. Two third must be gold and the rest is silver coins."
V looked at the bank card and operated with her computer for a few minute before she gave it back. She walked towards the vault after saying, "Please wait for a while."
Peter boringly watched the two women bickering not far away while Chester was still carefully looking at the coins as if he wanted to remember them in details. They didn't have to wait too long. It was just like five minutes and V came back with two cloth pouch bags in her hands. She placed them on the counter and said, "Gold coins are in this smaller one and the other is filled with silver coins. We also provide various banking services. I wonder if you want to open bank accounts so it would be more convenient for you in the future business."
Peter thought about it and agreed to open two; one for personal use and the other in the name of their mercenary group. There were no complicated things. He only needed to give two names and two minutes later, V took out two metal cards from a nearby strange machine. One is a plain black card while the other has the image of their mercenary group badge on it. She explained, "We use latest technology in these metal cards. You only need to put a drop of your blood on the card for physical body recognition. When the blood is completely absorbed, you have to put it on your forehead and keep it in touch for ten seconds for soul recognition. After that, nobody else beside you will be able to use it."
Peter muttered as he flipped the cards and looked them carefully, "So magical?"
He asked, "So, what about the one for the group? That is also not only for one person, right?"
V said, "Of course not. It is not for private after all. There are three different authorities in it. The first one is the highest. It is meant for the leader. After leader binds his identity, the next person would have the second level authority. And the third person would get third level authority. You can set different level of consumption according to each authority. When the card went missing or got stolen, you can contact us to apply for another card. And by touching this blue dot here, you can open holographic image in the air or it also works when you're sticking on the glass. Of course, only the master would be able to open it. With it, you can easily transfer your money, check your balance and even exchange the inner currency directly. It is very convenient. There is also option in it for you to personalize the account so you can log in and operate with computer. Remember our website name, 'fortuna.net'. Oh by the way, here is my little advice for you, you should exchange all your money into inner currency. You can buy everything with it but mortal currencies cannot buy anything in our side. They are pretty useless."
Peter said calmly after putting away the two cards into his inner pocket of the jacket, "Thanks. I will seriously consider about it. But after all, we are just new into this mysterious world and we are still living in normal world."
