Half an hour later, Chen Yi left the Chamber of Commerce with an extra bag of gold coins in his hand. Not long after he left, a short, thin man came out of a hidden alley and secretly followed him.

Chen Yi soon noticed it, followed by a tail. He remained silent and suddenly turned into an alley.

The city of this era was not well planned, and the houses were built in a mess. The alley is also twisting and turning, which is great for getting rid of stalkers.

The stalker hesitated at the mouth of the alley, but remembering the high reward promised by the chamber steward, he gritted his teeth and followed.

When he entered the alley, the man had lost his trace, and he hurried after him, and just after a corner, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, and a hard thing pressed against his waist.

He stiffened and did not dare to move.

"Who are you, and why are you following me?"

A slightly hoarse voice sounded behind him, and he swallowed and stammered, "I...... I didn't ......" Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the sword unsheathed, and his soul flew away, "I said, I said ......"

Then, like beans in a bamboo tube, he explained everything.

As Chen Yi expected, this person was sent by the Hollins Chamber of Commerce. sneered in his heart, the so-called good reputation is also the same virtue. Regardless of the purpose of the Hollins Chamber of Commerce in sending people to follow him, this kind of behavior itself is ill-intentioned.

He knocked the man unconscious and left.

…………

Chen Yi returned to the hotel and came to the transit space with the bag of gold coins.

"It seems that the exchange rate of gold and silver in this world is so strange." He opened the bag, looked at the gold coins inside, and fell into thought.

This time, he just took a bag of silver coins to explore the way, and the result was unusually smooth.

Especially when he proposed to exchange 10,000 silver coins for 950 gold coins, the light in the eyes of the head of the Chamber of Commerce made him realize that the value of silver coins in this world was higher than he imagined.

"The Hollins Chamber of Commerce has business all over the country, and they are willing to exchange silver coins at this rate. That proves that this is the case, at least in the whole kingdom, and even in several surrounding countries. ”

He didn't study economics, and his knowledge of finance was limited to what he learned in high school politics class. It can only be judged that either the world's silver output is relatively scarce, or the gold production is relatively high.

Either way, this is great news for him. It means that such a business can be done for a long time, until he brings in silver and takes away the gold, so that the number of gold and silver coins is unbalanced to a certain extent.

Thinking about the bright prospects for the future, he left the transit space in a happy mood.

…………

As night fell, this city, which seemed very simple to Chen Yi, also fell asleep.

He put on his cloak and left the hotel. There was not a single pedestrian on the street, and the houses on either side were pitch black, except for the occasional flash of fire in one of the windows.

In the silence of the night, he walked all the way to the west of the city, came to a door, lifted the curtain, and the noise of shouting came to his face.

Inside was a tavern, and a dozen or so people were gathering around several tables and drinking there.

As if seeing a stranger come in, the drunkards stopped what they were doing and looked over one after another, and the noisy tavern fell silent.

In such a strange atmosphere, Chen Yi walked to the bar and said to the bearded man inside, "Bring me a glass of ale." ”

The bearded man didn't speak, but poured a glass of ale and put it in front of him.

When the drunkard saw that he had come to drink, he ignored him and continued to drink and make noise.

Chen Yi put down the two silver coins and said, "I want to inquire about some news." ”

The bearded man, who was wiping his glass, glanced at him and asked, "What news?" ”

Chen Yi asked, "Do you know the West Coast Continent?" ”

The bearded man paused his hand and looked at him with an inexplicable look for a long time before he spoke, "A gold coin." ”

Chen Yi immediately took out eight silver coins and put them on the table.

This bearded, the charge for one message is two silver coins. Since the price is up to one gold coin, it is obvious that the value of this news is relatively high.

The bearded man put away the silver coins before he said slowly, "The West Coast Continent is on the other side of the sea. If you want to go there, you can only try your luck at Port Uk. ”

"Uk Harbor?"

Chen Yi had heard the people and merchants in the caravan mention that it was the largest seaport in the entire Sith Kingdom, prosperous in commerce, and was the second largest city in the kingdom, second only to the royal capital.

"Second question." Chen Yi took out two more silver coins, "Recently, silver coins are a bit scarce on the market, do you know what the reason is?" ”

"Hey, hey."

This time, the bearded man directly put away the silver coins and said, "Many big trading houses in the kingdom are secretly recycling silver coins, which will cause the scarcity of silver coins." As for the reason, I don't know. ”

This answer surprised Chen Yi a little, those big trading houses, behind them are powerful nobles, what is the purpose of their doing this?

"One last question." Without thinking about it, he took out two silver coins again, "I want to know, where can I buy the Golden Divine Oil." ”

The bearded man looked at him deeply, didn't take the silver coin on the table, and shook his head slowly, "Since the route to Morningstar Island was cut off, there have been fewer and fewer golden divine oils in the major auctions in the kingdom. ”

"The most recent one was ten years ago, at an auction held in the royal capital, it was auctioned by the Marquis of Kaye for five thousand gold coins."

"Five thousand gold coins?"

This price made Chen Yi gasp.

The bearded man said, "Now, perhaps, only those powerful nobles still have the Golden Divine Oil. ”

"Thank you."

Chen Yi put down another silver coin as wine money. Then he stood up and left with his sword in his hand.

The bearded man put away the three silver coins on the table and glanced at the glass of ale, which was still full. The man never touched the wine.

…………

Chen Yi walked on the way back to the hotel and felt a little tricky. The Golden Divine Oil is a medicinal oil used by knights to improve their strength, and because the color is golden yellow, it is called the Golden Divine Oil.

In the memories of the servants left by the Soul Eater, although the Golden Divine Oil was precious, the price was only a few hundred gold coins. Here, it has actually soared to five thousand gold coins. With such an exaggerated price, even among the aristocracy, few can afford it.

"It seems that if you want to become a great knight, you have to wait until you go to the West Coast Continent."

He thought in his heart that the owners of those three memories were all from the West Coast Continent, and the wizard academy was also from the West Coast Continent.

However, when he was on the caravan, he inquired, and no one had heard of the West Coast Continent. Luckily, I got some news here at the bearded man.

He had a hunch that if he wanted to go to the West Coast Continent, he would definitely encounter some twists and turns.
