Chapter 52: Whose family tree has never produced a noble?
Thinking of the Glimmer Ointment that he had given to Captain Margaret, Mo Cheng immediately grabbed the law enforcer and said, "You have to be careful this time. The Glimmer Ointment you used last time was of the [Strong] quality, which was able to save your life. It is one level higher than the ointment that was specially provided to you. The effects of [High Efficiency] and [Ordinary] are not that strong. Remember to explain this to your captain."
There are six qualities in total: ordinary, high-efficiency, strong, special-effect, super-effect, and extreme-effect. The last time Mo Cheng made ointment, it was entirely because the materials were very good, so he was able to make some ointments of [strong] quality.
During this period, in order to ensure the efficiency of the finished product, Mo Cheng specially controlled the materials to ensure that the finished product was of ordinary and high quality.
And because Mrs. Brand is old, she is unable to make the high-quality shimmering ointment that requires a certain amount of skill.
After making sure that the law enforcer would convey his words, Mo Cheng continued to watch the two carriages disappear into the mist.
"Priest Mo Cheng."
As soon as I turned around, Sister Loni handed me a notebook said, "This is for the food for the next few days, and the hiring fee for Mr. Justin's engineering team."
Mo Cheng flipped it open and saw that Loni had recorded every expense and made a table for a more intuitive understanding.
After a quick glance and knowing that there were no major problems, Mo Cheng returned the notebook and said, "No problem. I'll go to Wang's Bank to apply for a Baijing card later. You will be in charge of the financial affairs then."
The only ones who can really take charge of Albert House are Mo Cheng and Loni. Mo Cheng himself has many problems to deal with, so naturally he can only leave some relatively unimportant things to Loni.
"Okay." Loni also knew that the affairs of Albert House would be handled by either Mo Cheng or her, so she didn't shake her head and say that she couldn't do it. She was just worried that she would have to look through the books left by Pastor Albert when she went back tonight.
The priests and high priests sent out by the Church of Light are all talented people who can manage small organizations. In addition to teaching scriptures, the clergy academy within the church also teaches mathematics, culture, history, martial arts, and even the history of the most inappropriate mages.
For the priests sent abroad, they are not only excellent talents who can manage a small team, but the textbooks they carry also allow them to teach in the church at any time.
A priest might live in poverty, but he was definitely not penniless. The classics and basic mathematics and cultural textbooks he carried with him when he was sent abroad were enough to sell for a lot of money.
Knowledge is precious, and those who teach knowledge are even more worthy of respect. The Glorious Church has become the most popular church in many areas by sending priests to teach simple basic knowledge in the local area, which also brings a foundation of believers to the Glorious Church.
"By the way, Reverend Mo Cheng," Sister Loni said, "Recently in the evening, I often see someone looking over here at the corner of the street."
Is anyone looking this way?
Was it a coincidence or deliberate surveillance?
Is he a member of a gang, or some other force?
What do they want? Money? The formula for the Shimmering Salve? Or something more?
Subconsciously, Mo Cheng's brain was full of thoughts, but his face showed no expression. "I see. I'll ask my friends in the law enforcement team to check it out."
Loni's lips opened and closed slightly, but no sound came out, and then she warned: "You have to be careful, the people in the gang... are not easy to get along with."
Mo Cheng guessed that Loni probably wanted to make some more intense comments, but due to her status as a clergyman, she used the evaluation of "difficult to get along with".
"It's okay. I'm easy to get along with. Leave this to me."
Looking at Mo Cheng's departing back, Loni bit her lip. She didn't want anything to happen to the priest. Her past experiences made her keenly aware that the air and environment around her were changing, and something big and chaotic was about to happen.
This feeling alone was enough to give goose bumps to the skin. This level of mutation was definitely not something a priest who possessed the weak power of holy light could face.
The holy light controlled by Priest Mo Cheng might be very pure, but in terms of quantity it can only serve as an aid in curing illnesses and saving lives.
"Glorious, what should I do?"
…
The Aundair Royal Bank was located between the wealthy district and the noble district. It was established with the investment of the Aundair royal family and the technology of mages. The hall was full of nobles waiting to handle business...
...the housekeeper.
For the big business that really needed to be handled, they would either sit in the VIP seats upstairs or have the bank manager come to negotiate directly. Nobles coming in person to handle business? Those who did so would be considered to have no subordinates or servants at home and would be ridiculed for a long time.
The processing speed at the Wang Bank counter was not fast, and since he was not a VIP, he had to queue up. Mo Cheng stood there waiting for three hours before it was his turn.
"What business do you need?"
"Bai Jing Card handles the secondary card business."
The counter staff took Mo Cheng's white crystal card, inserted it into the instrument to record the information, and then returned the white crystal card to Mo Cheng: "Please come and pick up your secondary card in twenty to twenty-five days."
"Will it take that long?"
Hearing this, Mo Cheng couldn't help but frown. It takes nearly a month to open a secondary card, which is too long anyway.
"It doesn't take long to apply for a secondary card. Normally it only takes six or seven days."
The staff member seemed to have heard too many questions like this. He sighed and said to the group of people in butler uniforms in the hall, "Nobles have priority. Are you a noble?"
If you look through the family tree in my hometown on Earth and count back twenty generations, you will most likely find an ancestor who was an official. But if you want to find an aristocrat, you have to look back a little further, to the Sui and Tang dynasties or even the Han Dynasty.
But unfortunately, Mo Cheng's family genealogy does not record that far back.
Mo Cheng shook his head simply: "No."
"Bank regulations state that ordinary business can be completed within thirty days at the latest, so twenty-five days is really not that long."
The staff flipped through the thick book list on the table and said, "Only nobles can apply for the White Crystal Card. If you are really in a hurry to get a secondary card, you can ask the noble who issued the card to send someone to handle it."
This is the best solution, but Mo Cheng also knows that this is the most disadvantageous approach. "No need, twenty-five days, I'll wait!"
Asking the busy head of the law enforcement team to send someone to help him open a secondary card business is obviously unnecessary and stupid.
The purpose of establishing a relationship with the nobles is to hope that they can help you when you encounter some difficulties, rather than using such meaningless trivial matters to interfere with the already fragile relationship between the two parties.
Walking out of the bank, Mo Cheng found that it was already past lunch time.
"Forget it, let's have lunch outside before going back."
