1069 Currency without substance

Eh, aren't you going to make silver?

“No, I'm not going to make silver.”

The White Dogman we caught safely.

I followed them back to the town of Biden.

At first, I tied the dogs to a rope and pulled them, but from the middle I stopped.

It's because it's moving too slowly.

Until then, only those riding the Valkyries had made their way, so they kept quite fast.

However, the dog person who was taken like a few beads could not keep up with the speed, and I hated walking in the mountains where there was only cold and snow.

I mean, there were monsters out there, and I wanted to go down the mountain as soon as possible.

Therefore, from the middle, the dogs are running off the ropes.

Even though it wasn't that strong, the Dogman was a monster.

I wasn't using aggressive sorcery, but if such a monster was removed from the rope, I couldn't have obeyed it quietly.

But the Valkyries handled it well.

A few Valkyries are watching around the dogs who took the rope off.

And as soon as one of the dogs tried to escape, the nearby Valkyrie chased after him.

At first, you pull back by speaking up or biting lightly to threaten nearby.

However, it seems that the dog who tried to escape many times had a perfect upward and downward relationship thanks to doing things such as biting hard, hitting the body, or kicking.

Twenty-four dogs surrounded by the Valkyrie now follow quietly.

Thanks to this, we were able to improve our travel speeds and return to Biden in a matter of days.

So I reunited with Biden and handed over the ice bear and four-handed ice monkey materials I had in my hand.

I was surprised because there were quite a few of them.

Besides, there were other strange objects that could only be taken by El Meralda, so Biden realized that we could really act in the winter snowy mountains.

It was even better than a few days ago, and he stayed in a spacious room.

So I took a break, and I said,

If Ai is going to make silver, he needs to get a place where he can take iron.

So let's attack there in the spring.

However, Eye's response was, "I don't intend to make silver coins."

"I see..."

Then why did you come here to kill the white dog that you bothered to find at this time of year?

“I'm thinking about making money in the future.”

"... yes? Didn't I just tell you I don't make silver?"

“That's right, I'm not going to make silver.”

"Yeah? What do you mean? Because you caught a dogman who can use silver alchemy, you've acquired Silver Mountain, right?"Doesn't that mean you're making silver coins? "

“No, I only expect silver to be kept as a guarantee.”

"Securing the silver?" means that the white dog will make the silver, but you're not going to spend it?"But I'll make some money..." Maybe it's made of something other than metal or something like that?It feels like a witness. "

My conversation with Ai confused me.

They have the means to get the silver, but they are willing to make money just by keeping the silver in hand.

Is it something that can do that?

I'm not sure, but maybe making money on paper or something like that?

I'm sure you've heard that there's a way to issue banknotes, but I've heard that they are issued entirely on the basis of trust. Do you want to use them?

“No, I don't plan on making notes.”

"Ah, that's right. So, what are you really going to do?"

"I will issue a currency that has no substance.We want to be able to complete the transaction without using metal, paper, etc. ”

"... hmm? Oh, I see. Is that so?"

When I heard that, I finally understood.

I see.

Until now, that kind of money has completely disappeared from my mind.

In short, the money of Ai is probably a reference to the Sky Kingdom.

The Sky Kingdom certainly doesn't use Barca silver or anything to exchange money.

But I think it started about the time I went to study in the country.

I was not familiar with it at all because I was still a child of my own age and not using the money.

However, in the Sky Kingdom today, it seems that the deal will be completed with the bracelet provided to all the people.

The bracelet of the sky kingdom is called "status open", and it displays glass and contains personal information.

And all the money he had was recorded there.

They say it's the total amount of their wealth at Vulcan Bank, but exchanges between them in a bracelet will result in the transfer of money by means of a transaction without withdrawing the money at the bank.

In other words, you can shop without having the money on hand.

Isn't Ai going to use this in the East?

The bracelet made in Barca Church does not have a Spirit Stone, so there is no status window, but it is tied to an eye, so we can always know the location of the individual.

This bracelet will be further improved to allow exchange of money in the East without silver coins.

However, at first, many people are worried about such fictitious numbers, so possessing silver may indicate that it is a guarantee.

I see.

Then maybe we don't have to attack anywhere to take the mine.

It's boring not to be able to fight, but that sounds interesting.

I was intrigued, and I decided to listen to it in more detail.
