Chapter 210: A New Journey—Noisy Water City
"So, you're not going to make me pay for it."
To be able to support a war, how can it be converted into tens of millions of gold coins, I don't think I would make such a ridiculous request.
"Heh, I want you to pay for it." Dove smiled and glanced at it before continuing, "But for now, we have a better goal to work with, and you should have heard of it, Holy Coin Sect. ”
Believing in the goddess of wealth, the Cult of the Coins is one of the wealthiest organizations in all of Ferron, and in the years since Worgin reappeared to the world, the church has rediscovered its glory.
With the wealth of a rich country, it is not difficult for the Holy Coin Sect to start a regional war, the key is how to convince the capitalists who only recognize profits.
"It's harder to get money out of their pockets than it is to kill them." For this task, even if the negotiation skill +100 and the charm +100, Sherlock is not sure that it will be able to complete it.
This is not a hundred or two hundred, but a grant that may be as high as tens of millions, and the point is that there is no return yet.
"Of course not, under normal circumstances, but now that those demonic elves have summoned the clones of Grazt, they will be willing to help, and tomorrow there is a fleet of Helena's Chamber of Commerce that will pass through Redwood Town, and our people will meet you at the docks." Dove continued to explain, and did not continue.
In the end, Sherlock also walked out of Newt's pet store without knowing anything, and no matter how much he asked, the four of them looked like they were secretive and refused to say more.
Now this task is next, but how to do it can only be done step by step, go to Huoshui City to try it first, and maybe it will be completed directly.
And Mu Liuxi is also in Huoshui City, and his dragon power has been pressed in his hand, which is also quite itchy, he is afraid that he will use it directly without holding back.
The merchant ships in Dove's mouth would not pass by until tomorrow morning, and there was still a little time before Sherlock was ready to make another trip to Loulanjing. The moon sapphire I got from the Supreme Hunting dungeon this time, I don't know if it was the key to open the altar.
The result of the attempt was a bit of a surprise, but also a little unexpected, with the power of the moon sapphire, he smoothly passed through the whirlpool in the middle of the lake and walked to the altar, from which it can already be concluded that his conjecture is not wrong.
It's just that when he put the gem into the waning crescent-shaped groove, nothing special happened, and after trying various methods such as dripping blood, transferring magic power, and communicating with his mind still to no avail, he could only give up opening the altar for the time being.
It seems that you have to get together two keys to open it, I don't know who is in the hands of the other sun-shaped gem, or if it simply doesn't appear, Sherlock sighed helplessly in his heart and left Lou Lanjing.
The rest of the time was not enough for him to do anything else, repaired his equipment, replenished his supplies, and then casually walked around the market to usher in the sunshine of the next day.
Sequoia Town is on the eastern edge of the Drinbier River basin, and of course has a port, but not in the town, but more than a mile to the west.
This port is passed by a fleet of ships every day, along the river all the way west through the city of noisy water, West Cambu, through Dagger Beach to enter Sword Bay, north to the city of Radiance Deep Water City, or south to the city of miracles Baldur's Gate.
At the same time, the river also connects two special trade routes, the Unicorn Stream and the Black Road.
The River Derimbier is so important that the controversy surrounding it has never ended, and the focus of this dispute is the city of Splash in the heart of the watershed.
As a result, the city of Huoshui, which was originally just a trading station, developed into a small and prosperous city in a short period of time, and even the Holy Coin Sect set up a shrine and a chamber of commerce in the city.
The city certainly can't compare to Luskan or Port Carlin, but it has a unique flair.
After waiting in the harbor for a while, a halfling dressed as a wanderer led Sherlock to a merchant ship that was about to set sail.
There is a free boat ride to do, there is no reason to go to the carriage shop to spend that unjust money, from Sequoia Town to Huoshui City, how can you get five or six hundred gold coins.
"Hello, my name is Gray Mill, I am a foot merchant, I travel around and do some small business by the way, I have heard the online talk about this mission, there are a few things I must tell you first."
Following the halfling named Gray Millet to the cabin at the bottom of the ship, the two sides exchanged mission information, but most of the time it was the other party who told the other.
After listening to the other party's story, Sherlock finally realized how difficult this mission was, his first step was to meet the powerful people in the church, the priest of the temple and the head of the chamber of commerce would not casually meet you just because you were a harpist, not to mention that he could not casually reveal his identity in this operation.
For him, the simplest and most direct way is, of course, to donate money and goods to the Vorgold Temple, and when he reaches a certain amount, he will naturally have the opportunity to meet the high-ranking members of the church, but this amount is hemp, and it is estimated that it is useless without a hundred thousand gold coins.
Sherlock was reluctant to spend this unjust money, so there was this second method.
The timing of the mission was also clever, as one of the five bishop candidates of the Cult of Coins, also known as the Five Fierce Women, Helena Gasha, was recently preparing to hold a grand banquet in Watery City to seek more supporters and allies.
And the adventurers are also on the invitation list for this banquet, as long as they find a way to get an invitation, they can enter the banquet.
As for how to convince Helena next, Gray Millet showed an innocent expression, saying that it was not clear.
Eh, they still haven't gotten the final information, and Dove seems to have great confidence in this mission, but there are some key issues that he refuses to disclose, which makes him nervous now.
Feeling the movement of the merchant ship, Sherlock didn't want to stay in the ugly and stuffy cabin any longer, and ran to the deck alone to browse the surrounding scenery.
At this time, in the mushroom camp, a group of mushrooms were chasing a silver-haired girl with two knives.
"Finally back on the surface, Sherlock, I'm not going to lose to you this time." The silver-haired girl muttered to herself excitedly as she fled outward.
……
It also took a day and a night to get from Redwood Town to Noisy Water City by horse-drawn carriage, and the boat ride down the river was not much faster, because it was sailing on an inland river, and there was no danger, so Sherlock simply went offline to rest.
After taking a look at the recent events in the game, and searching for information about the Goddess of Wealth and the Holy Coin Cult, time passed quickly.
