Chapter 241: The Bank-2
"Of course, gentlemen, these are the weakest kinds of spells, and there are also spells far stronger than these that can destroy entire cities." The guide spoke with a smile and took hold of the sword and the shield..
"And there is also the spell engraved on this sword, which increases sharpness and cutting power, and the spell engraved on this shield, which is called the Rebound spell." The guide gripped the sword, swung it, and struck the shield hard, and the whistle of the sword cutting through the air with force was heard, followed by the impact against the shield!
Zzzzzzzzzz!
The moment the sword struck the shield, the harsh sound of metal colliding was heard and the spell engraved on the shield activated. The shield blocked part of the sword's attack force, and the spell sent the greater part of that attack back into the sword once again, and the sword shook violently from that rebound!
"Those spells had the attack power of a warrior at the peak of the Third Level!" One of the ministers looked at the aftermath of those spells and then at that guide once more. "And you're saying that you sell things far stronger than this. These are no longer mere ordinary weapons, but weapons of mass destruction!"
The guide smiled simply at that minister's question and gave no answer, but from the side everyone looked at him, and their bodies trembled slightly at this truth.
Imagine owning a single box of those things and throwing them randomly over one of the cities... That city would be literally destroyed without that person losing a single speck of energy!
"Shall we continue, gentlemen?" the guide said with a smile and carried on toward the next zone, and the crowd of Falcons followed him while stealing glances at the spell shops as they left, their eyes full of greed and desire!
"And this, gentlemen, is the zone for selling and creating arrays. You surely know what arrays are." The guide explained, and after they toured the Arrays Zone, they continued to the next zone...
...
"Here, gentlemen, you will find the Catalyst Zone." The guide in charge of the Bank in the Golden Roar Kingdom gestured and began explaining the functions of this zone, then turned to the crowd. "And here you will find all the catalysts you want, the ones that will take you to the Fourth Level, especially the catalysts of the major law of the Body. And of course, the price of a single catalyst is sixty Prime."
The crowd of Golden Lions looked toward the Catalyst Zone and their eyes gleamed, and after touring it under the guide's lead, they moved on to the next zone...
"And this is the Body Path Training Zone, where you can strengthen your bodies and develop them just like the Energy Path!"
"And this is the Training and Combat Zone, here where you can test the extent of your personal strength and the extent of your combat skills."
"And this is the Meditation Zone. Every room here is equipped with the highest quality arrays, which will help you meditate, focus, and increase the speed of your understanding of the laws."
"And this is the Simulation Zone. It is like the Training Zone, but it supports a higher level of training, as it combines the abilities of the Training Zone and the Meditation Zone together, in addition to simulating any environment you want."
"And this is the Missions Zone, here where the missions posted by anyone are displayed, and of course the rewards are in Prime." The guide gestured toward the Missions Zone, and the crowd stopped as soon as they entered it.
They found several missions inside already, each one displayed on a screen of its own.
Missions to search for certain plants, missions to search for special minerals, and missions to search for rare monsters.
Each screen had the details of the requested item written on it, the rewards, and even tools that could be used to search for the requested item and could be borrowed from the Bank.
But among all those missions, one stood out from them all. It was written on a giant screen, with a huge reward on display that could reach up to one hundred thousand Prime, and this mission was to search for something called Astrol.
The crowd's eyes gleamed the moment they saw all those missions, and after taking all the time they needed, they began touring the rest of the zones...
"And this, gentlemen, is the Auction Zone, where the best things you could ever dream of will be displayed, but it is currently closed!"
"And this is the largest zone of them all, the Colosseum Zone, where competitions between races and monsters will be held." Then the guide turned toward the crowd. "And of course, the rewards here will be extremely tempting."
The Colosseum Zone was the largest among the rest of the zones, taking up on its own more than thirty percent of the giant Bank's area, and it was divided into several fighting arenas.
After finishing touring the Colosseum Zone, the crowd continued on toward the rest of the zones...
"And this, gentlemen, is the Teleportation Zone, and by using the features of this zone, you can travel to any kingdom or any region belonging to His Majesty King Vaelor within seconds." The guide explained the functions of this zone, and the Golden Lion race was amazed by this function, but they were not as stunned by it as by the other zones, for according to their kingdom's records, such things had been used in the ancient era!
The crowd continued its tour of the Bank, and only a little remained for them...
"And this is the Public Transport Zone, here where the public means of transport between the Banks will be, and it will be activated soon." After finishing with the Public Transport Zone, the guide and the crowd of Golden Lions stopped, as did the rest of the guides and the rest of the crowds in all the Banks, in front of the last and most important zone...
"And this, gentlemen, is the most important zone of all the zones, the Investment Zone." The guide stepped forward and gestured with his hand toward all those offices in this zone. "Here deals will be made, loans will be made available, assets will be sold, and suitable parties will be supported." Then he turned to face the King of the Golden Roar Kingdom. "Here is where the heart and foundation of the Bank lies!"
...
"What do you think, why is Father taking so long?" Hovering in the sky, the Crown Prince of the Nature Elf Kingdom asked the two ministers standing behind him, while his gaze never left the Bank on the horizon.
He had been standing here for several hours, and not a single person who had entered that Bank had come out yet!
"Could something bad have happened to him?" The Crown Prince gritted his teeth and clenched his fist tightly, but before he could make any decision, he spotted someone coming out of the Bank's gate and flying quickly toward them!
"Minister Ghul, what's happening?" The Crown Prince and the rest of the ministers flew toward Minister Ghul, and after reaching him they found him panting heavily.
"What's going on? Where is my father? Where are the rest of the ministers and the warriors? Why hasn't any of the commoners come out yet? Has something bad happened to them!?" The Crown Prince grabbed Minister Ghul by the shoulder and shouted at him anxiously.
"Get away from me." Minister Ghul pushed the Crown Prince's hand away and grabbed his collar. "Nothing has happened to your father or to anyone, but we must hurry and check the old records, and the records of the Nature Forest region, and we must return with as many monster cores and rare minerals as our kingdom possesses!"
This strange matter, and the rush to gather as many monster crystals as possible, was not happening in the Nature Forest region alone... but it was happening in the rest of the regions too.
....
Several hours later in the City of Light. Vaelor continued sitting in the royal garden calmly as usual, watching Orion's progress toward the Fifth Level on the Body Path.
This time had passed midnight and morning was already near, and with it Orion was nearing the completion of a full day in that breakthrough process, but he had finished only seventy percent of that process so far, and it seemed he would remain until noon at least to finish it completely.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news, Your Majesty!" Ayat came flying quickly toward Vaelor, pulling him out of that state of concentration, and he looked at her and raised his eyebrow. "What is it?"
"Your Majesty, three pieces of good news have just reached us." Ayat stood beside Vaelor and handed him the information tablet, and the moment Vaelor took that tablet and checked what was on it, his eyes widened and then he smiled a wide smile...
