Chapter 40, Roszaba - The City of Steel
I listened to it casually, but I unexpectedly heard something I never knew, and I was suddenly a little afraid that I was too ostentatious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just when Black Thirteen thought that the world's currency was all gold, silver, and copper, but he didn't know that these three currencies were only in circulation in some small countries, just like the Kingdom of Lukenica where Black Thirteen was located, don't look at a city with millions of people, in fact, in a distant country, it is just a drop in the bucket. It's just that those distant and unheard of countries are very new to everyone. Black Thirteen is no exception, although in the previous life, the population was hundreds of millions, but that was just a number. Although I have only been here for a few days, I understand how narrow the things that can be expressed by numbers are, and the population really cannot be expressed simply by numbers.
[The common currency in Roszaba is Mira and Kun, and the largest face value is the Magic Crystal Coins, and the ratio is 10,000 Mira is equal to 100 Kun or 1 Magic Crystal Coins. Tolia talks about his country, and even Emilia, who is not emotionally intelligent, can feel the pride on his face when he speaks of his hometown.
[The currency on our side is circulated in the market with gold coins, silver coins and copper coins, and 20 copper coins are about 1 silver coin, which generally does not change much. However, there are often some fluctuations in gold coins because they trade with surrounding countries, and basically 12 silver coins to 10 silver coins are equal to 1 gold coin. No surprise, even Parker has never left this map, and he looks curious when he hears about the new country.
[Gold coins are also circulating on our side, and the peak of exchange is that 50 gold coins are equal to 1 magic crystal coin. But it doesn't seem to be made in your country. Tolia took the gold coin that Parker had taken out of his baby and thought it carefully, and after reading it, he returned the gold to the cat-shaped elf Parker.
But when it comes to the value of a coin, weight and quality are key, and that's what everyone understands.
Currency circulation or something, Black Thirteen is basically ...... Finish! Listen! No! Clear! White!!
After all, in his previous life, he was a little otaku who knew those things, and when he heard these mysterious things, he suddenly lost interest. Don't think that every time-traveler has the ideal of conquering the whole world. Black Thirteen is different, he is very self-aware, knowing what he can do and what he can't do, just like relying on papermaking and printing is also considered after careful consideration.
Not to mention anything else, if it weren't for the fact that he had walked step by step, and encountered so many things along the way, which one of them had gone wrong and could have survived to get to the present? Let's talk about the Moby Dick section, if it wasn't for the use of intelligence to attract reinforcements from Cruxiu and Anastasia, the witch taught these people after that would not have been able to solve it by herself and those in the Merthers Territory Mansion. After all, relying on a Parker who was sealed and couldn't use his own strength, and a great mage who didn't know where the person was, and two maids, if he didn't calmly deal with the reinforcements, I am afraid that any life within a few tens of kilometers here would have been wiped out by the Witch Sect.
As long as I want to get to know these people through contact with Kruxiu and Anastasia, one is brave and unscrupulous but has no one to think about the people, and the other is the most desirable businessman who only cares about profit and wants to get things from the world, which is the advantage of their success, and it is also the handle in the eyes of the Black Thirteen, because of their weaknesses, so they can be trusted.
It's not really a use, it's just because of a common goal. One is reliable, and the other is able to help in every way. However, now that I know that there is another powerful existence here, I feel very panicked inexplicably.
[Our country is prevalent in force, and the strong are respected, and strength is the only indicator. Moreover, the status of the healer on our side is extremely noble, after all, there are not a few people who die every day due to wound infection. Even in the royal capital, there are only a handful of healers who can remove infected wounds, and it is really ...... that Miss Emilia can smoothly connect the broken bones Unheard. In his tone, with an unquestioning affirmation, in fact, even in Lukenica, if it weren't for the appearance of the silver-haired half-elf, he would actually be able to live just as well. However, because he insisted on not relying on others, he learned some offensive magic.
Let's just say that although Rouzaba is known as the capital of steel, it is also a veritable mercenary country, and countless people from surrounding countries have come to this country. You can have nothing, but only you have the strength, and you can enjoy the aristocratic treatment here, and most importantly - this country has very little to do with foreign criminals.
In other words, it is a perfect hiding place for criminals, but it is also an important reason for the prevalence of force. After all, no matter who you are, you may encounter a criminal from another country every day. But they have their own bottom line, and a lot of blood has been shed for this bottom line, but it has not been broken in the end, and the crimes of the nobles are also the same as the common people. There have been many powerful families that have disappeared into the long river of history, although it has weakened the strength of their own families, but it has also consolidated the deterrent power of the country. If you have permission, you will be lawless? If there are too many people, they will run rampant? Look at the fate of these people, now the grave grass is three inches high!
The cruelty to one's own people also reminds these outsiders that whoever breaks the rules, or does not follow the rules here, will die.
This is Black Thirteen's understanding, Rose Zaba, is an extremely dangerous place, a place that will never go in this life, Black Thirteen thought with a nose.
What are you kidding, you are in your own territory, although from time to time there are some attacks from the Witch Sect, what kind of kidnapping of the Priest of the Great Sin, and the danger of life falling from the sky. …… But that's not just the beginning! Black Thirteen firmly believes that if you don't look for trouble, you'll be fine! It seems that the speed of his sword is really not something that ordinary people can learn, the nobles of the mercenary country, tsk~
[Infected wounds can't only be solved by healers, right?] Besides, if everything bothers those lovely nurses, they will also feel distressed. For this, Black Thirteen is still very strange, people who die because of wound infection, this kind of thing does not exist in Black Thirteen's values! But how did he know that in this era of backward medicine, that kind of thing does not exist at all!
[Indeed, if you use a red-hot knife to cut off the broken parts, you can still alleviate the disease to a certain extent, but this is not a foolproof solution. Every year, many people die because they do not receive treatment from a healer in time, and the healer is not something that ordinary people can afford. It can be said that no one will go to the healer if it is not a serious injury, and if there is a serious injury, it is not something that can be solved by the level of a healer in our country, which is really a very regrettable thing. Speaking of this, Tolia felt a little regretful. If your country had hundreds of powerful healers like Emilia, at least tens of thousands of people would die every year. The never-ending wars and invaders have made the people there rich, but who doesn't tie their heads to their belts at all times?
Not to mention the borders that the kingdom could not take refuge in time, and the long-term rogues slipped in, because there was no way to deal with the village became the best place for the plague to appear. Many villages disappeared completely under such raids.
In order to defend against foreign enemies, there is now a country of mercenaries, Roszaba - the capital of steel, which is the origin of this country. It is rich in high-quality weapons and armor, as well as extremely powerful mercenaries, but even this will not stop the greedy invaders.
It's a paradise for a country like the Kingdom of Luknika that is at war except for a few areas. Do you see the harmonious expressions of the villagers from the bottom of their hearts? This is absolutely invisible in their own country, at least not in their own country.
If Tolia wants to see, learn, and change his country, he has to learn from the success of other countries, which is one of the reasons why he wants to stay here.
[The red-hot knife is too cruel, isn't it?] I mean, you don't have anti-inflammatory drugs in your country or anything like that? Cephalosporin or amoxicillin? The worst penicillin should be there, right? After all, it's something that can be made so easily. Hey, hey, hey~ Courage or something, it's not used in that kind of place!Obviously there are more gentle methods, why use risky methods to deal with wounds?] said it as a matter of course, but when he saw the stunned Toria's expression, Black Thirteen immediately regretted it. Yes, this is not my own time, and these things that I usually see are completely different here. Just like papermaking and printing, penicillin, in this world, may never have existed!
Because there have always been powerful healers like Rem and Emilia and Phyllis around me, I didn't feel like this, and the people around me found a healer for treatment after they were injured, and I didn't think about it so much. Anyway, in his eyes, an existence like a healer can only be a profession like a doctor and nurse in his hometown, just like a knight and an elven swordsman.
However, not only Tolia, but also Emilia and Rem looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
【Pleiades...... What are you talking about?] Emilia asked, pointing to her head and tilting her head, Black Thirteen frowned and kept silent. (To be continued.) )
