Chapter 54: Lucky Gold Coins

What the Great Sage of Leni called the Gold of Fortune, also known as the Gold of Doom, is about the same size as a regular gold coin, but does not have the head of the goddess of wealth, Wokin. On the front of it is the goddess of luck holding a scepter, Tamoura, and on the reverse is a black antler with a blood-red back~scene, which is the holy emblem of the doom maiden Ben Saba.

When Qin Lun got the lucky gold coin, the Shattered Starry Sky didn't give any hints, so he didn't pay much attention to it. After teleporting to the underground cavern, he realized that it was impossible for Mirimu to retrieve the coin, and he finally had time to ask the Grand Sage of Leni about the coin.

According to Leni, the coin is rumored not to be of the intelligent race, but rather to be the condensation of the blood of the gods that Lady Luck and the Doom Maiden splashed together when they fought.

The number of Lucky Coins dropped is unknown, but it is clear that the number is very small and very precious. Because the Lucky Gold Coin is composed of the blood of the two goddesses, it also has the weak divine power of the two goddesses.

There was a time when there was a time when there was a craze to find a lucky gold coin in the continent of Ferron, because the people who owned it swore that this gold coin brought them good luck. These people seem to be very smooth in everything they do, as if Lady Luck is always watching them and praying for them.

However, there are pros and cons to everything, and these people who claim to be favored by the goddess of luck start to have extremely bad luck after a while. Not only did he lose his previous good luck, but he also seemed to be entangled by a girl of bad luck, and he would do everything with half the effort, walking and stepping on dog shit, going out and being hit by a car, and drinking boiled water can choke himself to death.

It was only then that people understood that lucky gold coins could not only bring good luck but also bad luck.

They didn't get the attention of any of the goddesses, but the lucky gold coin turned the luck of a smooth line into a wavy line, so that the peaks of good luck and the troughs of bad luck were created.

Lucky coins don't do much in the hands of the ignorant, because after good luck, bad luck will follow. But in the eyes of some wise men, lucky coins still have irreplaceable value.

For example, if two countries suddenly go to war, and in a decisive battle, a king uses a lucky coin. So the king's army won, and the king himself was killed by stray arrows on the battlefield.

Another example is that an adventurer encountered an irresistible monster during his expedition, and he was supposed to be eaten, but at the critical moment, he wore a lucky gold coin. So, the monster slipped under its feet and fell off the cliff while pursuing, and the adventurer was lucky to be saved. But after his return, the adventurer was doomed and could not turn over for several years.

Obviously, both of these examples are typical of the small and the big, and this is where the value of the lucky coin lies. It can allow users to concentrate their luck to tide over difficulties at critical moments, and then spread the consequences evenly over the years to come, or on the heads of a small number of people, so that the danger can be weakened to a tolerable level.

After getting this information from the Great Sage of Lenny, a prompt finally sounded in Qin Lun's death list. There was no hint before, because the Lucky Gold Coin is an unknown treasure and has not yet been identified.

And the Great Sage of Leni was recognized as an authority by the Broken Starry Sky, and she gave an appraisal of the explanation of the lucky gold coin in disguise, so the lucky gold coin became an identified treasure, and there was a due introduction.

The introduction of the gold coin is basically what the Great Sage of Lenny said, but Qin Lun doesn't dare to bring the lucky gold coin with him for the time being, because he hasn't figured out the law of the lucky gold coin yet, and only after a few innocuous experiments will he really use it.

"Tsk, that silver dragon really gave a good thing, but it's a pity that the ability of this thing belongs to the gods of this world, and it will lose its effect if it is brought to the broken starry sky or other worlds, otherwise, it is comparable to an artifact." Ciel touched the coin lightly, and when he got the explanation, he stopped touching it.

After a night of silence, Mastasia went out early the next morning, saying that he was going to deliver news to his fellow harpists and to find out what was going on in the Silvermoon Alliance.

At noon, Masasia returned. The highland elves were happy, waved their small hands, and led everyone to set off again, "Let's go, I got some news, we will rush to Silvermoon City now." ”

The city of Nesmail is located close to the Seburing River, and there is a small harbour to the north of the city. This port is mainly used for mineral freight, of course, because the Sebrin River passes through many areas, more than a hundred miles to the east is Silvermoon City, so there are also some small passenger ships.

Mastasia, who had approached his fellow harpists, had the money this time, and proudly chartered a brig with more than fifty passengers, and led everyone upriver to Silvermoon City.

Because the journey was very smooth, they arrived at Silvermoon City earlier than everyone expected, and they saw the giant outline of Silvermoon City at noon the next day.

Silvermoon City sits on the northern bank of a tributary of the Seburing River, a river called the Raven River, and its walls bend into a crescent moon against the river, covering the banks like a felt hat. It also has a small part on the south bank of the River Raven, with a wide pier and a magical arch bridge known as the "Moon Bridge" between the banks.

The bridge could only be seen in the moonlight, and the central arch could magically disappear into the void, allowing invaders attacking the city from the south bank to fall into the river, or allowing ships with overly high masts to navigate under the bridge.

Silvermoon City is the core city of the Silvermoon Alliance, and among the surface cities of the entire Northlands, its status is second only to Waterdeep. The city is known as the "Treasure of the Northlands" by the major races of the Northlands because of the ancient buildings left over from the Nethril Empire and the opulence of the city, and its belongings have always been under the prying eyes of the Santarim Society.

Silvermoon City is a thriving and lively city, with people who love trees, music, and art, and tall oak trees and beautiful stone buildings can be seen everywhere in the city. Many of the ancient oak trees that are thousands of years old can even compare to the height of the city walls, which is unique among non-elven surface cities.

If there were such majestic oak trees in other cities, I am afraid that they would have been cut down to make furniture.

The city streets are lined with slender spires of ancient buildings, the surfaces of which show smooth curves, and many of the windows and attics of the buildings are wrapped in a layer of colorful glass. This style of architecture dates back to the time of the Elven Empire of Yerlan, with cobbled streets flanked by shaded pavements of stone-slab walkways.

Balconies and spiral staircases are everywhere, and windowsills, balustrades and columns are decorated with vines planted in carved wooden bowls, as was the custom of elven druids. Many of Silvermoon's inhabitants play harps, wind music, or sing poetry, and the artistic atmosphere can sometimes give the illusion of being in some kind of paradise.

The most honored in Silvermoon City are scholars and artists, and the vast majority of its residents take pride in mastering at least one art profession. Its inhabitants are predominantly humans, elves, half-elves, and dwarves, who read ballads, poetry, and romances, and talk wittily, sharing joyful jokes, knowledge, and music.

In addition to art and music, most people in Silvermoon City also have a hobby of hosting and attending carnival banquets and balls, and the city has the most diverse balls and festivals in the whole continent.

The city's shops are stylish, compact and comfortable, filled with beautiful and charming handicrafts and magical items.

As the undisputed intellectual and cultural center of the Northlands, Silvermoon welcomes almost all intelligent races to join them. The city's safety is due to the many powerful mages and druids of the Silvermoon Alliance, and of course, the numerous rangers.

They all stood beside the "Lady of Hope" who shaped Silvermoon City, the chosen of the goddess of magic and the daughter of the gods, Erastro Silverhand. She initiated a lot of celebratory feasts and carnival banquets, and while pleasing the various city lords of the Alliance, she gradually gained their trust, so that the entire Silver Moon Alliance slowly grew into a united nation.

In fact, this is the main reason why the Santarim Society put the murder plan during the Great Celebration, in a sense, it is this kind of carnival celebration that has created the current harmonious atmosphere of Silvermoon City, and once the celebration is tainted by blood and murder, you can imagine how destructive it will be to the soon-to-be-founded Silvermoon Alliance.

Erastro's palace is integrated into the eastern walls of the city, on the eastern side of the open-air arcade, and is heavily guarded by all tiers of spellcasters loyal to her, as well as skilled warriors.

Madame Hope wanted to ensure a happy and hopeful life for her inhabitants through the laws of the guò civilization, but she also knew that trickery, deceit, and evil were inevitable, so she established and trained a backbone personal guard to fight these evil organizations early on, especially the Santarim Society in the east.

Because of its many celebrations, Silvermoon City has many famous bars and hotels in the mainland. "Wielding Blade of Glory", "Dancing Goat", "Dwarven Tavern", "Hammer and Helm", "Golden Oak", etc., most of the cosy taverns and inns are located on the north bank of the River Ravon in Sunset Lane, Moon Road and High Axe Lane.

There are many important buildings and locations in Silvermoon City, such as the Moon Bridge connecting the north and south banks; Located in the inner city, a magical enchantment controlled by the six sisters of the Northland; the supreme palace where Erasdr lived; Star Court to conclude alliance-lord contracts, and more.

The inhabitants of Silvermoon City believe in several benevolent gods who watch over the city, notably Mericay, the goddess of the forest and rangers, and Rarui, the unicorn goddess. They value theological education and are constantly looking for priests from the good camp of order, as well as the support of the natural faction druids.

Silvermoon City is full of imposing temples, with older temples and sacred glades such as the Hall of Inspiration, the Hall of Invincibility, the Temple of the Silver Star, and the glades of Merrikai.

The Hall of Inspiration belongs to Ogmar, the god of knowledge, and Miriel, the goddess of chanting, the Hall of Invincible belongs to Haim, the god of protection, and the Temple of the Silver Star is the domain of Dinel, the god of literature. The temple sometimes has some minor frictions with the Hall of Inspiration, mainly clashes between the gods.

The most interesting of all the temples is the "Melicat's Clearing", an open-air woodland where Merlice is worshipped. The territory is surrounded by a circle of ferns and berry trees, with turquoise moss in the middle, and a hollow ancient oak tree with a portal connecting to the temple of Merlice on the north shore.
