Chapter 37 The Virtue of Scholars
After reading nearly 4,000-5,000 characters of "Shan Hai Jing", Ma Long quietly stopped.
Lizard Druid Master is still in a dazed state.
It's probably because the content of "Shan Hai Jing" is too fantastical for this magical world, so it has a huge impact... Ma Long thought to himself.
Without further ado, Marlon continued with the "Three Wins Plan" script and once again approached Solace, the Blood Clan's banker who was waiting on the side.
"Mr. Soles, I'd like to make a deposit, but since I'm in a hurry to get home, could you give me the deposit slip now?"
As they spoke, Ma Long handed Sols a check for 763,000 rand.
Saul took the check, glanced at it, and snapped his fingers loudly with his right hand.
A few seconds later, the old man with a hawk nose, who was originally standing far outside the crowd, wearing a black tailcoat, a tie and a single crystal glasses, with his hair combed to reveal a hint of oil, appeared behind Sol.
"Ah-Sma, get Mr. Ma Lung's deposit slip ready - hurry!"
Sauls rushed towards the eagle-beaked old man and ordered casually.
"It will be guaranteed soon, my lord." The old man with a hooked nose made a very standard movement and bowed to Sol, taking the check from Sol's hand.
The hawk-nosed old man, Asma, pushed his monocle gently and looked at Malong, asking: "Mr. Malong-Liszt, this check issued by Miss Ivana, the president of Feicuiwen Press, is for a total of 76,300 lanters, right?"
"That's right."
Ma Long nodded. In this strange world, even if you took a check to the bank, the bank teller would ask this question first after taking the check.
"So, I wonder if Mr. Ma Long-Li is planning for a survival period or a fatal period?"
Eagle-beak-nosed old man Asma, continue to ask questions according to the deposit procedure.
"Current."
Still a brief answer, just like Ma Long wanted to get out of here quickly.
"Do you need a checkbook?"
"Not needed for now."
"We are Sol's Bank, and we have just launched a purchasing agency service for large deposit customers to purchase scarce materials, surplus military supplies, etc. We only charge a 5% agency fee. Do you need to handle this business?"
"No need, thank you."
"I see, please wait!"
……
The brief Q&A session ended, and the hawk-nosed old man Asma quickly pulled out various special paper pens from a document bag he had brought up, completing the record work of transferring checks to current deposits in the shortest time.
"Mr. Ma Long-Li, this is your current deposit slip, please check if there are any errors. If not, please sign for it. Because this is an ultra-large amount of deposit and you have not opened a check remittance business, any withdrawal exceeding 10,000 Rands must be confirmed by you in person. Please don't worry about the trouble, our bank will send a special car to pick you up when you withdraw cash, which can maximize the safety of you and your deposit..."
In the midst of explaining the details, the agile old man with a hooked nose, Asma, quickly opened out a good current deposit slip and handed it to Malong.
"Uh-huh, I know."
Ma Long nodded twice in a row, stretched out his hand to take the deposit slip, and casually inserted it into the "Eli Book" worth 110,000 Rands.
Just as Marlon was about to sign his name on the bank deposit slip, a huge bear face suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Mixed-blood kid, no - scholar Marlon-Lyster! I have a small request, you must promise to grant it!"
Without a doubt, whether it was the bear face that had approached Marlon or this request for help, their owner could only be Master Conchita-Bobberwin of the Lizard Druids.
"Great Druid, you first, please - any reasonable request will be considered."
Malong refused to loosen up, this great Druid had both money and leisure, but was not within Malong's range of help - it was already very good that he didn't rob him.
So, unreasonable and unemotional requests, don't mention them again in the end.
And even if it's a reasonable request, I'll still have to "consider" it first.
"Please, you must translate the contents of this 'Book of Eli' completely and accurately. Because the world described in this book absolutely does not belong to our dimension, I am certain that its author, Master Eli, is definitely a being more powerful than gods - an interdimensional traveler! I guess that as long as we fully translate this Book of Eli, we will definitely be able to find more information about this great being!"
"Ah, before it's translated, I must insist that you let me stay in your home!" exclaimed the Druid, growing more and more excited.
But Ma Long was struggling to keep himself from smiling - I'm not going to tell you that this "Aili" dimensional traveler is actually me.
But since this great Druid is interested in the vernacular Chinese version of "Shan Hai Jing", why not take it out, polish it and publish it to make some money?
At the mention of this, Malong replied with a serious expression: "Great Druid, I will do my best! Please believe me, I will soon be able to translate this book, 'The Book of Aili', completely. I won't keep this knowledge to myself, I will hand it over to the Emerald Pattern Publishing House and make it public through publication!"
"Hats off to you, erudite scholar Ma Long-Li Ze, a rare selfless and outstanding scholar in the human world!"
Master Lide, with a look of deep emotion on his face, seemed to have found a kindred spirit. If Malong were not so young now, he might have even more reverence for him.
"No, you're overpraising me."
Ma Long felt very embarrassed, he truly did not think that Li Dru's words were so noble.
"Humility is also a great virtue!"
Master Druid Lich, continued nodding in approval.
“……”
Alright, Ma Long was speechless. He thought that no matter what he said now, it would be considered a virtue by the highly explosive Druid Lich who was being overly nice to him.
Fortunately, Oscar-level performer Chui Tse-rim intervened at the right moment.
"Mr. Sores, just now your butler said that your bank can act as an agent for clients to purchase scarce commodities and surplus military materials, is this true?"
Crist-Rem looked at the bloodline banker Sols and asked as if inquiring.
"That's right."
Sorius nodded after glancing at Custerreim.
"In that case." Crist Trautmayer, who was pretending to be an old saint warrior, seemed to hesitate for a moment before shoving the eleven bundles of 100-yuan bills into Asma's hands: "I also want to save money, save 1 million... 99 thousand and 900 yuan."
Chui Seu-ryeom took one of the eleven 100-yuan bills from Asma, the old butler with a noble demeanor.
"Then I want to open this agency business, I want to entrust your bank to help me buy a piece of land of at least ten mu next to the slum, in order to build an orphanage..."
