Three days later.

Reykjavik Old Port.

The Old Port is located next to the center of Reykjavik and is a historic area.

In the past, it was a major docking point for merchant ships and fishing boats; now, it mainly serves tourism and entertainment, such as whale watching and fishing tours.

Today, the old port ushered in a new group of outsiders. These outsiders all got off the ship in groups. Among them, those of non-human race were required to be injected with [Virtual Image Memesin] before disembarking. This kind of

Specially made mimexins are common on the otherworldly side of Terra, as are masks worn by humans.

A dose of [Virtual Image Memesu] can create a virtual human image in front of ordinary people for 24 hours.

Of course, the appearance of the image should be in line with the injection recipient's appearance rating among the ethnic group - that is, whether the person should be ugly or handsome, the person who should be handsome should still be handsome.

All human tourists who disembarked have changed into Reykjavik's common outdoor clothing.

Reykjavik, located in the northern part of the Western Ocean, has a changeable climate, so the local people's clothing style is mainly practical.

"Huh~, this is Reykjavik."

Wearing standard outdoor clothing, Zhou Zhou looked around like a curious baby, and behind him were Xia Xiu and Tours, who were also wearing outdoor clothing.

The three of them are all wearing a waterproof jacket suitable for windproof and warmth. The color is mainly dark, which can withstand the changing weather and is in line with the aesthetics of the Youyang area. Their legs are wearing a pair of wear-resistant wool trousers.

This kind of trousers has the best thermal insulation effect; the shoes are a pair of non-slip hiking shoes specially designed for rough terrain.

They each wore a rough woolen scarf around their necks. This is a traditional handicraft woven with Reykjavik's unique geometric patterns, showing a deep ethnic style; the gloves are also made of wool, which is thick and warm.

On their heads, a knitted hat with a local style protects them from the cold wind. The color of the hat echoes the earth tones of the region.

These sunglasses are specially designed to withstand the strong sunlight and snow reflection in Reykjavik, and are very outdoor style.

This outfit was specially bought by Xia Xiu for the two of them when they arrived in Reykjavik. Of course, he also paid for it.

"Don't look around like a redneck."

The child-like Tours on the side wrinkled his nose slightly and looked at Zhou Zhou who was looking around with disgust.

"You, a little kid who needs to be accompanied by your parents to travel, have no right to criticize me." Zhou Zhou turned around and said calmly to Turs.

"Haha——" Tours smiled disdainfully. Even though he is not tall, he is much better than you, a guy who often formats his brain.

Xia Xiu didn't pay much attention to the mutual sarcasm between Zhou Zhou and Tours. He stretched out his hand and pulled the scarf wrapped around his neck, while looking around at the city in front of him.

This city located on the western edge of the Sea of ​​Chaos is like a bright pearl, possessing a unique kind of beauty and tranquility.

On a sunny afternoon, this city exudes an extremely alluring atmosphere, which is an atmosphere intertwined with profound history, rich culture, and unique natural scenery.

On both sides of the street, scattered houses stand there, with bright colors and strong Nordic characteristics; their walls are of different colors, red, blue, yellow, and white, like small blocks of color.

Inlaid in the city's green vegetation background; their roofs are flat, like drawing boards used to support the sky, and the antennas on them are like lines graffitied randomly on the drawing board, highlighting a geometric beauty.

In the center of the city is a towering building called the Hallgrímskirkja. Its spire reaches straight into the sky and can be seen from almost any corner.

The white stone structure and simple design seem to tell the world that this is a place where faith and art are intertwined.

The church in front is the entrance to the Hub [Smoke-free City].

Xia Xiu saw three bank personnel with special signs there. They were Reykjavik National Bank, Commercial Bank and Savings Bank.

Staff from these three banks were not shy about walking outside the church holding briefcases with their bank's logos on them.

He naturally understood that this was done deliberately by three banks. These three banks have risk control functions in Reykjavik. It is very strange that the staff of the three banks appeared outside the [Smoke-free City] at the same time without any taboos.

It is obvious that the regional government intends to convey information to the outside world and convey the latest internal information of [Smoke-free City].

For the operation of the extraordinary system in the small country of Reykjavik, 78% of thaumaturges rely on the [Financial Street]. Now the flow of extraordinary resources within the [Financial Street] across Terra is in a sluggish state, and this is very important for

Local thaumaturges who rely too much on foreign thaumaturgical resources are very uncomfortable.

Therefore, revitalizing the local economy is a top priority for Reykjavik.

These bank personnel coming and going are probably the [Risk Control Agency] doing the [Risk Assessment], and they probably have reached a special cooperation with the [Secret Alliance].

This is a manifestation of alliance without alliance.

The situation between the hub and the regional government is very special. Although the hub is embedded in the territory of each country, all kinds of strange ethnic groups and forces live inside the hub. This has led to the emergence of a special phenomenon of a country within a country. In addition, the Kingdom of Heaven

The two-system agreement that the regional government signed with them made this phenomenon of a state within a state more and more obvious.

Because inland countries have powerful extraordinary armed forces, their domestic hubs are similar to vassal states. But for countries in coastal areas, these hubs are not as simple as vassal states. In some coastal countries,

Hubs can even reach out to influence regional governments.

This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Hey, you two, stop making trouble. We have to buy tickets to enter the [Smoke-free City]. People from the three major banks are also here. We

Just go over there and buy a pass." Xia Xiu turned to Zhou Zhou and Tours and said.

"Sometimes I admire Reykjavik. They still charge a fare to enter the hub, but they still do business." Tours also turned his attention to the staff coming and going at the church.

"This kind of thing itself is legal and compliant. There are also fees in inland areas."

Xia Xiu simply said something, and then he motioned for the two of them to follow him. He led them towards a phone booth in front of him. Inside the phone booth, there was a man wearing glasses, a suit, and hair oil.

middle aged man talking on the phone.

That phone booth is made of a special golden color, and the material looks particularly like gold. The most important thing is that there are special ripples emanating from all sides of the phone booth.

"[Art Installation·Cross-hub Telephone]······"

Xia Xiu lowered his head and murmured a few words, and then he spread the [Weakened Presence] Meme element on his body to render it on the surface of Zhou Zhou and Tours' bodies.

The two people naturally felt the fluctuations of memosin. They did not resist, but allowed the memosin to color the surroundings of their bodies.

Soon, the three of them came to the phone booth quietly.

The blond young man crossed his arms and leaned against the phone booth in a familiar manner and began to listen openly to the conversation inside. Zhou Zhou and Tours subconsciously looked at each other with their eyes.

This guy is so skilled, he probably does this kind of sneaky thing a lot.

Both of them understood each other's meanings from each other's eyes, but don't tell me, this contradictory feeling of being aboveboard and being quiet is really not bad to experience.

As a result, the two naturally began to approach the phone booth and listened to the conversation inside.

"Manager, it has been confirmed that the game will start as usual."

"Yes, yes, the gaming at the Colosseum will open as usual in the second quarter, and many dwarves have already signed agreements with [Financial Street], replaced their power and equipment, and registered [financial cards];

At the same time, they have also revealed a lot of [Extraordinary Securities]. Well, we have already discussed with them. Now there are only three banks in their hands to acquire them; I know, I know, these dwarves’ [Extraordinary Securities]

They are all unstable and are high-risk and high-risk controlled items, so the purchase price has been suppressed. These dwarves who are addicted to gambling will not think too much."

As the compliance officer of the National Bank, Lewis was proudly reporting to the risk management manager on the phone in another hub in the country. This time [Camel Alliance] opened as usual, but it attracted a lot of non-human attention. Those

Non-human beings who are so suffocated that they are about to go into trouble are like a lot of leeks to the [Risk Control Agency].

Although there is a high probability that the bonds released by these leeks will get out of control and backfire when used, this does not hinder the bank's acquisition.

The operation of [Financial Street] in the extraordinary world is very different from the stock market in the real world, because the extraordinary world allows a single person to form the market, that is, one person represents one company.

The operation of [Financial Street] is very weird, and it is basically not the same ecosystem as the current financial system.

Even if there is a forced equivalence peg with the American dollar, it is difficult for the financial operations of this world to affect [Financial Street]. [Financial Street] is essentially a huge twisted machine operating in the [Ether Ocean]. It is unique to Edici.

The Federation's [Financial Genealogy] framework is a huge anomaly that twists EVE particles and seven levels into financial operations.

"Well, okay, I'll hang up if there's nothing else. You can go do your work." Lewis smiled and hung up the phone in his hand.

After hanging up the phone, Lewis smiled and pushed open the door of the pavilion and walked out. But when he had just taken two steps, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Sir, please stay."

A warm and warm voice came from behind, and Lewis was frightened by the sudden voice.

when!?

A trace of fear flashed through Lewis's mind, and at the same time, a yellow [financial card] with the National Bank logo popped up from his black cuff. He was already connected to [Financial Street] at this time, and at the same time, the card in his hand

[Position] is already lit.

[Position] is the location inside the financial card where [Extraordinary Securities] are stored. The five series of [Financial Cards] issued by [Financial Street] correspond to five types of genealogy books, and [Position] is similar to the [Spell Position] in ancient law.

, it’s just that [Position] costs more to play than [Spell Slot].

The [Extraordinary Securities] uploaded by extraordinary people will be [Category and Entry] by [Financial Street]. In other words, [Extraordinary Securities] are equivalent to the thaumaturgy of a thaumaturge, while [Positions] contain and drive [Extraordinary Securities].

Securities] special device.

Lewis stared at the three people who suddenly appeared with a cold sweat on his face. The palm of his hand holding the [financial card] was already covered with a small amount of sweat. After all, he was just an office worker and had no experience in such things as fighting.

Just when Lewis was extremely nervous, a blond young man headed by the three people stood up. The other person raised his hands and said to him with a kind smile:

"Sir, calm down. Clear the [position]. I see that the card in your hand has three [positions]. You are one [position] short of becoming a bank manager. If you accidentally clear the position now and cause the [position] to collapse,

That’s not worth the loss.”

Of course, Lewis could not easily believe the other party. Just when he was about to yell at the three of them, he saw two shadows floating behind the curly-haired man and the kid behind the blond young man.

Lord incarnation······

You showed up so early!

"You're right!" Lewis quickly put away his [financial card], and then said to the three of them with a flattering look.
