Alien Knights

My love, your piety has touched the heavenly Father, and your generosity has allowed me to have enough food and clothing. Behold, I have come before you under the guidance of the holy messenger! The actor playing the dead husband walked up to the peasant woman played by Barbara, and said loudly with open arms.

Audience members who had seen the play started whispering because they didn't remember the scene.

The leader of the Golden Skylark stood on the side of the stage, biting a handkerchief in his mouth, grasping the fabric tightly with both hands, and big drops of sweat rolled down his cheeks to the ground.

Barbara looked at the deceased husband in front of her without any response.

The actor playing Dead Husband was in a hurry. He winked desperately, thinking that Barbara had forgotten his lines, and reminded in a low voice, The next sentence is... Thank you, Heavenly Father, for letting you come back to me.

The head of the group covered his face with his hands, not daring to look any further, and growled in despair: Oh, my God! Barbara, for God's sake!

Barbara moved.

She first came to her current husband and looked at the handsome young actor with fascinated eyes; then she walked in front of her deceased husband and looked at the middle-aged man with a complicated expression.

In the end, she secretly pulled the Holy Messenger of the Vagabond to the front of the stage. In front of all the audience, she took out a money bag and stuffed it into the opponent's arms. She winked and said, Holy Messenger! There are still ten silver moons here. Please bring my dead husband back to heaven!

The unexpected reversal caused the audience to roar with laughter.

Barbara's last improvised scene portrays a pious but worldly peasant woman vividly. Instead of following the director's script, she used a witty plot to push the scene to a new climax. It not only maintains the dignity of art, but also avoids religious contradictions.

The leader of the Golden Skylark stepped onto the stage with two legs still trembling, his back was covered with sweat. While taking a curtain call with the group members, I did not forget to take a look at the balcony on the second floor.

Will His Majesty be angry?

Does the Holy Son feel offended?

With these questions in mind, the group leader, who had finally finished the performance and wiped his sweat with a cloth towel, announced that the main event of the party had officially begun.

Twenty large boxes were lifted up, and as the lids of the boxes were lifted one by one, the audience was shocked from ear to ear by the sight in front of them.

Silver Moon! Twenty big boxes filled with silver moons!

The monk holding a thick stack of accounting books walked to the stage and began to read out the statistics of Muxi Mutual Aid Society aloud.

Invest 200 silver months in Gospel Flower Club, realize and pay 355 silver months of profit, and realize 925 silver months of assets.

Invest 116 silver months in Rainbow Trout Fishing Farm, realize and pay 73 silver months of profits, and realize 243 silver months of assets.

...

As the monk finished reading one account book after another, those who had bought the relics of the Muxi Cooperative in the audience realized that their money had invested in hundreds of shops in Muxi City.

The half-hour-long recitation clearly introduced the development of Muxi Mutual Aid Society. In less than two years since its establishment, the mutual aid company has grown from a principal of 1,000 silver-months to 5,766 silver-months. His Majesty also padded 234 silver moons from his holy treasury, making up 6000 silver moons, and distributed them to all holy bone holders at once.

The principal invested in that year has increased by six times in less than two years. If the regular dividends are added to the profit, the value will increase by almost ten times!

With the help of the guards, a group of monks divided the silver moons into cloth bags according to the number of relics of the registrants, and then handed them over to the audience. After the coin is confirmed to be correct, let the payee press the fingerprint to prove the receipt.

After all the silver moons were distributed, someone asked: Returning the principal to us, does it mean that the Muxi Mutual Aid Society will be disbanded?

Brother Joe replied: It can be said that it is, but it is not. His Majesty distributed the assets of the Muxi Mutual Aid Society to you in proportion, hoping to return the financial control of the money to the original owner. Two years ago, Muxi Town was in ruins, and Lord Shengzi hoped to gather everyone's strength to build a home together and make a fortune. But now, His Majesty has to focus more on the management of the kingdom, and it is difficult to take care of the operation of the Mutual Aid Society.

This explanation is reasonable. After all, Todd's identity has undergone great changes now, and it is really inappropriate for him to work hard for the mutual aid club.

Someone asked again: Then what do you mean by it can be said to be yes, but it is not just now?

Brother Joe picked up a book, and on the cover was clearly written a line of words in the common language - Rules of Muxi Royal Bank.

Musi Royal Bank? A sharp-eyed person in the crowd raised a question.

Brother Joe nodded and said: Although His Majesty ordered the disbandment of the Muxi Mutual Aid Society, he plans to establish a Muxi Royal Family Bank in Muxi City.

I've heard of the bank. It seems that there are similar institutions in the Southern Empire.

Brother Joe explained: That's right, the Royal Bank will hire professional scholars and monks to manage wealth and make credit. You can deposit coins in the bank, and not only allow you to withdraw them at any time, but also pay 1% of the total amount of deposits in interest for every full month of deposit.

Someone questioned: Isn't the interest rate 1% per month and 12% a year too small?

Brother Qiao said with a smile: A bank is different from a mutual aid society. From the perspective of fund use, the former is only responsible for deposits, while the latter will use the money to invest in shops and properties. From the perspective of management, the money in the bank can be withdrawn at any time, while the money in the mutual aid association cannot be obtained until the assets are liquidated. From the perspective of risk, the money deposited in the bank will not lose money, while the investment in the mutual aid association may lose everything.

Of course, you can also choose to manage your own money. After all, His Majesty's original intention is to hope that you will choose suitable areas to invest in, and contribute to the construction of Muxi City.

Next, Brother Joe stayed on the stage and was responsible for answering the questions of the relic holders present.

Clarence, who was in the audience, put on the hood of his robe again, and said to Sabrina beside him, Let's go, there's nothing else to do if you stay.

Go? The girl jumped off the chair, looked towards the second floor and said, I thought you had a date tonight.

Clarence followed her gaze and shook his head with a smile: No, today is not suitable. I need a quieter environment to have this conversation.

Sabrina lowered her head, looked at the red ink pad marks on her left thumb, and shook the small cloth bag with 6 silver moons on her waist: As you wish.

The head of the Golden Skylark looked at the king's guard of honor and was about to set off to return. He found the person in charge of the guards——Alfonso De Cavo, and said softly, My lord, I don't know about tonight's performance. Is His Majesty satisfied?

Alfonso looked at the uneasy expression of the head of the regiment, and paused for a moment without speaking.

Just when the leader's nervous heart was about to stop beating.

Alfonso coughed lightly and said, Your Majesty thinks it's not bad.

not bad?

His Majesty said it was not bad!

The group leader breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, That's good, that's good!

Alfonso turned and left. No one saw the embarrassed face under his helmet, but he whispered to himself: What else can I do besides saying this? His Majesty fell asleep halfway through seeing it...

Mary stood at the entrance of the theater, seeing off several acquainted women, watching the crowd gradually dissipate at the entrance, and fell into deep thought.

The maid Cathy noticed her strangeness and asked, What are you thinking?

Mary, who activated the Super Memory ability, the scenes of the party flashed quickly in her mind like a slideshow.

I don't know, something is wrong.
