Chapter 14: Spring Blooms Everywhere (1)
This is a somewhat long history, even if it goes back a few generations, it is a yellowed history recorded in a book.
At the beginning, Sparta was a rich source of gold, and almost all of Frineria's gold came from here.
But then there was a catastrophe that struck the area, and rumors abounded about it, the most famous of which was the July disaster.
The July disaster destroyed the city, and after the September War, Sparta was restored, but this splendor was erased and the city was reduced to mediocrity.
This is also the reason why Sparta wants to rise so much, and it is difficult to accept to go from being high to falling into the dirt.
"That's how it happened."
Freida placed a round golden object on the table, and Louisa picked it up, only to realize that it was a gold moon coin.
As the most valuable currency in the Flene Continent, one Gold Moon Coin is worth about thirty Silver Moon Coins, and one Silver Moon Coin is worth 10,000 Copper Moon Coins.
In other words, this gold moon coin is worth 300,000 yuan, which is the amount that the White Dietis family will only have if they sell bread for four years.
"A Golden Moon Coin, is there any difference?"
Louisa looked closely in the light, but found no clue.
"You can't see anything in one piece, you look at this again."
As she spoke, Freida took out another one and handed it to her.
Put the two together, and even Bai Tisi can see the difference.
Compared with the second coin, the color of the first gold moon coin is significantly darker, and even a little red.
"This is not the gold used in today's currency."
Louisa asserted.
"Yes, although there is a slight color difference in the gold of various origins in the Frinella Continent, but there can be red gold, looking at the entire Flineya, I am afraid that only Gasparta, which is known as the State of Gold, has it, but you can see the pattern on this moon coin was issued in the first year of the Lunar Order, not to mention that the issue date is relatively close, if I remember correctly, the State of Gold has been destroyed in the seventh year of Alenbel."
"Where did this moon coin come from? Is there a large number of them? ”
"At first, it was a treasure merchant who obtained it in the transaction, that man loved money like life, and it was indispensable to check the monthly coins one by one in the warehouse, and accidentally found this slight color difference, I thought it was a fake, but after inspection, it was not adulterated, real gold, he realized that the matter was serious and reported it, as for the quantity... There are not many, at least the organization did not find it after secret inspections in various places. ”
"So you're here in Sparta? It's really like your style, and now that you've made a detour to Phantom Town, you've already discovered something. ”
It didn't sound like much, but it left both of them in a brief silence.
Louisa knew the fiery soul hidden in Freda's body, eager to explore and brave the wind and rain, so when she heard her tell her what was going on, she immediately understood her actions.
They should have been able to fight side by side, solving the problems left behind in this world and the unknowns that have not yet been written in books.
Unfortunately, those were all the delusions of their youth, and now all that was left between them was a caged bird that could not use magic, and a statue that had to be the perfect template to stand tall in the towering ground.
Thinking of this, Louisa couldn't help but glance at Beatis beside her.
I wish I could be as free as she is.
At least her smiles and tears, love or hatred, can be left to herself.
"Princess, you haven't answered Miss Lancoster yet."
Savah reminded in a whisper.
"Ah, cough, I accidentally wandered."
Freida also came back to her senses and nodded.
"According to the layers of investigation, Savah and I came here, and when I asked the townspeople for news, she regarded me as someone's subordinate, and I also learned that some people in this town had been employed by a merchant named Lien, and this was the reward, but in her expression, it could be seen that this was a secret belonging to Phantom Town, maybe because the other party was still young, and after only a few words of intimidation from me, she agreed to take me to meet other people who knew the inside story~"
Freda is like that, she can downplay some of the "bad things" she does.
"It looks like you promised them to take them out of Lean's grasp, but they were too anxious and exposed their plans?"
"Awesome, does Emeline Selu's Christine know how to read minds?"
I would also like to know...
Beatis said silently in her heart.
"Huh? What did you say? ”
Unexpectedly, Louisa actually turned her head to look at her.
"Ah, nothing!"
It's true! That was true! Did she really hear it!?
Fortunately, Louisa missed her surprised expression at the moment, a detail that was only captured by Savah alone.
He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head slightly, and said nothing.
"The man you're talking about, but the tavernkeeper's daughter?"
Thinking of the first person to be killed, Louisa asked.
"I blame myself for her death."
Freida put away the sly smile that was still on her face just now, and replaced it with a heavy one.
She stretched out her hand, as if tearing a ray of starlight from the sky, and reached it vertically to her chest, and after a brief fist, spread her palm and made a very small swing.
This is a form of prayer that is often used to think of the deceased, hoping that the other person will come to him across the sun and the stars, and the latter gesture indicates: If you cannot come, then please accept my wishes on the other side.
"She probably knew she was going to be killed, so before she had the messenger send me a letter."
There was not much time left for them to relax, and when the prayer was over, she turned her head sideways, and Savah took something out of her jacket pocket and handed it to her.
Spread out on the table, is a map.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's about Sparta, it's the secret of Phantom Town, and the secret of this Golden Moon Coin."
"I see, what are you going to do now?"
"Of course I want to be with you..."
"Princess's Palace."
Before Freida could finish speaking, Sawah interrupted her.
"It's time for us to go back."
"That's it, as you can see, I'm going back to the cage. If you find anything, be sure to let me know first! I'm going to hear about this sooner than the rest of the Ministry of Intelligence, and the daily Flinea! ”
Freida said goodbye, and with Savah left the hut and boarded the carriage belonging to the carrier pigeons.
Luisa turned to study the map, which ended in the center of Sparta, and she flipped it over with ink on the paper.
I saw a line of small print written in the lower right corner of the back:
The ferryman to the abyss.
