Chapter 980: 304. Wealth Co-creation_4
With these thoughts, Noland Lee was certain that what was happening right now had to be related to the Pure Light Court.
This familiar stench of baseness, Noland Lee found it hard not to recognize.
After a moment of contemplation, he took out his Silent Enforcer mask and “Sword of Silence,” displaying his identity.
The Wealth Wizards looked at each other and could only awkwardly put away the Imprisonment Collar.
“I noticed that your Order Book comes from Bluegold Elder,” Noland Lee said calmly,
“I think this Elder might have some misunderstandings about me. Where is he now? Can you take me to clarify things face to face?”
...
The head Wealth Wizard was still quite clear-headed.
After realizing that Noland Lee was also an Enforcement Wizard, he knew that he might have gotten himself into big trouble.
He bowed slightly, shedding his previous arrogance and said respectfully,
“Sir, Bluegold Elder is stationed at Goldrush Castle by the Eternal Lightning Ravine. He should be inside the castle. I can take you to see him right now… I’m very sorry, it seems there was a mistake in our information, and we’ve mistaken someone else for you.”
“If the misunderstanding can be cleared, I won’t hold this against you.”
Noland Lee whispered a few words to Denise Green and also instructed Louisa a few times, telling them both to go to Spike Peak Castle where Mabel was, while he himself would go see Bluegold Elder.
After Denise Green and Louisa left, Noland Lee flew with the Wealth Wizards towards the mountain where Goldrush Castle was located.
There are six main arteries leading into and out of the Eternal Lightning Ravine, each atop six different mountains.
The six peaks are evenly distributed around the Eternal Lightning Ravine, each separated by a 60-degree angle with the ravine at the center, like a deliberately planned design. This phenomenon was also one of the objects of study for the Wizard Advancement Association.
Goldrush Castle sat on the mountaintop, renovated extravagantly with golden bricks and white tiles, resembling a luxurious palace.
From the Magic Eco-farm to workshops producing Thunder and Lightning Magic Gemstones, everything was available.
After landing on the terrace of Goldrush Castle, Noland Lee followed the Wealth Wizards through several checkpoints, shuttling in the spotless corridor.
When passing by the garden fountain, Noland Lee specifically looked at its glinting golden base.
The thing was indeed made of pure gold, even the fountain spouts were studded with shiny gemstones.
The foundation of the Wealth Creation Society was apparent at a glance.
“They really are rich, these guys…” Noland Lee glanced at a dog bowl in the corner of the garden.
Hiss…
That thing was actually made of gold too…
Noland Lee’s lips twitched slightly as he scanned from the dog bowl to the doghouse, noticing a plump golden long-haired dog.
Next to this excessively nourished pet dog squatted a beautiful Witch, who was grooming it.
Her skin was pale, body frail, as if she had been ill for a long time, and the faint golden Magic Robe on her body hung like on a hanger, outlining her body’s silhouette.
She looked even more miserable than Noland Lee.
To disguise himself with the appearance of having suffered Mental Trauma, Noland Lee had merely turned his face a ghastly white and added two thick dark circles under his eyes.
The Wealth Wizard leading Noland Lee, following his gaze, introduced in a low voice,
“Bluegold Elder has a total of eight wives. She is one of them, ranked fifth. We usually call her Ms. Taya.”
Noland Lee nodded silently, uninterested in how many wives Bluegold Elder had.
Ulnas Circle Law did indeed stipulate monogamy.
But according to Ulnas Circle Rule No. 2, wizard forces were free to establish their own marital systems, an “exception” allowed by the Law.
The Co-Creation Council made no restrictions, allowing polygamy or even polyandry, provided it was beneficial for “co-creating wealth.” noveldrama
And so-called “co-creating wealth” meant nothing more than paying money.
Putting one’s money into the Co-Creation Council was considered “co-creating wealth.”
Who could become an Elder was solely determined by how much money one donated each year.
When the need for money arose, ordinary members of the Wealth Creation Society would apply to the Elders, who would in turn apply to Senior Elders.
Bringing profit to the Wealth Creation Society without losing the principal sum became the only criterion for a successful application.
If the profits were low or there was a loss of principal, they had to make up the shortfall with their own money, otherwise, it would lower the member’s rank.
At the level of Bluegold Elder, every year he had to “create” a fortune in gold coins for the Wealth Creation Society just to keep his position.
This was the operational model of the Wealth Creation Society.
Noland Lee always felt he had seen this somewhere before…
But the question was, how did the president of the Wealth Creation Society ensure his authority?
Wasn’t he afraid of his subordinates collectively rising up against him, desiring his wealth?
Didn’t he worry about the Elders and ordinary members emptying the Society’s coffers under various pretenses?
Noland Lee was quite curious about this.
