Chapter 49: Misfortune Doesn't Go Alone (2)
Circling around, Balde led Garriman to a gathering place of wealthy merchants, where he found a jewelry store, where he exchanged the remaining [Identification] scrolls for thirty-four copper coins and twelve silver coins worth one gold coin.
As a real world, whether it is a game or the current reality, the value of metal currency in circulation has always been affected by the degree of scarcity, and as a society that is still in the feudal aristocracy, there is not enough dominance and talent to turn the feudal empire into a centralized empire, so it is not able to unify the exchange of currency, even if the official price is set at one gold coin for ten silver coins, and one silver coin for one hundred copper coins, but the market price in various places is different because of the scarcity of metals that can be made into currency. The price of the exchange also varies.
Giving Bao de ten copper coins is regarded as his salary as Galiman's guide today, and Gariman said to him: "Then, these ten copper coins are the salary you gave me as a guide today, and then you need to take me to those large-scale pharmacies and spice stores, and I want to buy things." ”
The rest of the morning was spent by Garriman for big purchases, buying charcoal from the coal store, saltpeter and sulfur from the drugstore, and others such as slime gum, parchment, ink, etc., the city is much smaller than Monny City, and it is not a specialized trading city, Garriman cannot find materials to make lightblast bombs here, and slime gum is not available much, even for making scrolls. In the end, the materials were either made into medicine or black powder, and it took a flatbed truck to transport the things back to the backyard where Walker was drinking.
Back in the backyard of the shop, Garriman instructed the laborers to move all the materials into the house, although the room was full of strange smells mixed together, but Garriman didn't care about this, the smell of ammonia was numb when he was doing experiments in the laboratory before, which is not nothing, not to mention that some of them were originally used as spices in it, barely neutralizing the taste.
In addition to the materials, Garriman did not bring with him the various tools he used to make props before, and the flatbed trucks used in this purchase took up the most volume of various tools, such as small pounding bowls, scales, and containers, and large ones such as guillotines and distillers bought by the owner of the liquor store outside the house.
By the time Garriman had taken care of these things, the Vivier goblin merchant, who had been missing early in the morning, returned to the backyard, and saw that he had made a lot of money by the way he looked so red. In addition, Rutav returned to the courtyard shortly after, and the head he had been carrying when he went to church was gone.
At noon, everyone gathered for a big meal, which was a celebration of the safe arrival of the personnel at the place without any damage, and the sun was back on, and even the owner of the liquor store served drinks and celebrated together.
After eating and drinking, Garriman went to the goblin merchant and Rutaf and said to them, "It is a good thing that the sun can now come out again to shine on the earth, but I don't know if you have noticed that the temperature is no longer the same as before the sun went dark, but the cold of the thin snow in the beginning of winter, but as lukewarm and hot as autumn, which is very wrong. And the ghoul corpses we killed before will also decay faster due to the increase in temperature, so I think we need to hurry up and explain this to the local lord. ”
Garriman inevitably has remnants of the player's behavior in his thinking circuit, and he can't change it for a while, and he doesn't really want to change it. In his opinion, it is not a difficult thing to meet the lord of the barony of the Green Gray Lord, even if he does not use his identity as the second son of the Lord of the Winter Wolf Lord, a well-informed mage scholar can already meet this baron, after all, he is now overwhelmed by the sudden Black Sun Period, and it would be a good thing if someone could give him advice.
Although the goblin merchant does not want to meddle in his own affairs with the habit of a merchant, this time the matter is related to himself, and that road is a traffic artery, and if he wants to trade here in the future, he will inevitably take this road. And Rutav thought that by doing so, he should be able to exchange some of the favor of the green and gray lord, and he would be able to make some friends with the baron by doing things here in the future.
Having made up their minds, the three of them pulled a pile of ghoul heads in a wagon and headed for the town hall in the inner city.
At such times, the security inspection was extremely strict, and in addition to being inspected at the inner city gate along the way, there was a patrol team that followed them all the way to the city hall and reported the matter to the superiors before leaving.
The matter that they had to report was not as big as what had happened in Flo City in the past seven days, and it was also related to the traffic arteries of Flo City, and after waiting for half an hour, they met Charles Caspar, the lord of Flo City and the lord of the Green Gray Collar.
Charles Casper is a typical Northern Empire nobleman, the cold wind in the north has cut out the rough and tough faces of humans in the cold region, and the wide skeleton also brings a tall body, and the Northern Empire is a military state, as the nobleman of this empire, Charles Casper is still a strong warrior who has just entered the gold, this territory is he opened up in the forest with the Knights, and the monsters and beasts in the forest are scared one by one to make them flee before building a city here.
The Golden Rank is the name of a person above level 64 to level 90, Charles Casper, as a warrior of the Golden Rank, has a physical strength comparable to that of a young dragon, and the limit life span has theoretically reached three hundred years old, so even if he is now more than a hundred years old with gray hair, like an old man, but the compact hunting suit is worn on his body, and the big Malaysian Golden Knife sits at the top position, looking at the three of Garriman standing in the hall with majestic eyes, which still makes them feel a palpitation.
"I heard that you came to my territory during that dark time, and you dared to do business on the road after such a big thing happened, it's a good courage." Charles Karpas spoke slowly.
"Your Excellency, it's only because we've already walked half the way when the sun suddenly gets dark, and whether we continue to move forward or retreat, we still have to walk the same amount in the dark, so we don't have a choice, after all, no one wants to take any risks." The goblin merchant wrinkled and cried bitterly.
