Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Heart of Gold

Shangguan Ziyang and his party once again embarked on the road forward, and this time, two new members were added to the road without their own willingness-Elf Alice and Qin Gu Xin. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"That'...... Thank you for your hospitality for the past two days, and we're leaving to get on our way. Shangguan Ziyang saluted the village chief and said, at this time, Shangguan Ziyang was no longer wearing animal skins, but clothes scavenged from Gu Xin, looking like a young man dressed as a man.

"Ah, children who have been favored by 'God', may you have a smooth journey! You can use the 'artifact', and your life will not be ordinary. Please accept our sincerest wishes for this!" The village chief and the other elves began to pray to the crowd.

"I'll ...... the chief," Alice threw herself into the chief's arms, as if she couldn't stop crying.

"You should have seen the outside world by following this adult!" the village chief lovingly stroked Alice's long green hair, "Since you swore in the name of the goddess of nature, it is natural that you will fulfill your promise." Don't worry, we'll be behind you all the time. ”

"I ...... Got it......" Alice said, and then began a prayer-like ritual towards the "tree" of the elven tribe.

"Bring more water from Moon Spring, you may need it on the road. One of the elves gave Alice a very small bottle that looked like a magician.

"Thank you......" Alice seemed to be very sad.

..............................................................................................................................

"Gu Xin, why do you have to follow us with a dead face?" Shangguan Ziyang said to Gu Xin, who was not far behind him.

"Because you are the person recognized by the 'gods'!" Gu Xin said very seriously, "In this regard, I plan to follow in the footsteps of the 'gods'!"

"Okay...... It's up to you!" Shangguan Ziyang was noncommittal about this, and after taking a look at the three-phase power that was reduced in size and hung on his chest by himself after signing the contract with his own blood, he couldn't imagine how much potential this "artifact" had.

"Alice?Amile?!Patrick?!?!" Shangguan Ziyang turned his head and found that Amelie and Alice were sitting on Patrick's shoulders on one side of the minotaur, and seemed to be talking very happily.

"Lord Shangguan, what's the matter?" asked Patrick looking back.

"Uh...... You guys...... This is ......," Shangguan Ziyang asked, pointing to the two female creatures on his shoulder.

"Oh, it's okay, they don't weigh much anyway......" Patrick said casually.

"But ......"

"They seemed to have something interesting to discuss together, and I didn't understand it as a rough person. ”

"Yes, Lord Shangguan, you don't discuss knowledge with us, we will discuss it ourselves!" Winged Man Ya Miri seemed to be very dissatisfied with Shangguan Ziyang and said.

(Even if I wanted to, I had to at least know magic!And it's not me who can do magic!It's "another me"!)

"Hmph!" Alice just snorted, it seemed that she was extremely unhappy with Shangguan Ziyang.

"Forehead......" Shangguan Ziyang was very embarrassed, so he swept his gaze to the side, and Gu Xin, who was being swept away, seemed to feel like a frog targeted by a poisonous snake.

"Bang!" Gu Xin, who flew out upside down and hit the tree, covered his abdomen and said to Shangguan Ziyang: "Shangguan...... My lord...... You...... Why did you kick me all of a sudden! It's a shame that I have such a red crystal! Otherwise, it would really be ......" Gu Xin took out a red crystal from his arms, which was the same as the red crystal pendant that Taili gave to Shangguan Ziyang at that time, which seemed to be the color of blood.

"Oh, you still have such a thing!" Shangguan Ziyang naturally took the red crystal from Gu Xin's hand, which made Gu Xin a little surprised, "Lord Shangguan, you ......"

"Okay, since you're willing to contribute this thing to me, then I'll allow you to join my team!" Shangguan Ziyang seemed to be fascinated by the feeling of pretending to be forced, and said.

“...... Oh!Okay!Lord Shangguan!Thank you for giving me the opportunity to follow the 'God'! I will not disappoint you!" Gu Xin's gaze suddenly seemed to be filled with "fanaticism".

"Your gaze is so disgusting!" Being stared at like this by a man, Shangguan Ziyang felt goosebumps all over his body. "You keep your distance from me!"

"I'm willing to give everything I have to God! So, please leave any problems to me!" Gu Xin said with fanatical eyes.

"Get out of here!"

....................................................................................................................................

Shangguan Ziyang unfolded the scroll of "Langton's Omen" and carefully watched the explanation above. The Langton Omen is a combination of two Hallows, the Warden Armor and the Heart of Gold. Among them, the Watcher's armor has an amazing defensive power, and has a very anti-heaven ability - when the person wearing the Warden armor is attacked, the attacker will be counterattacked by frost magic, which is "cold iron". Although this frost magic is not as powerful as expected, it can greatly slow down the attacker's speed, and the power is equivalent to the "Diamond Star Strike". The Heart of Gold is a space container, a space container that can provide a lot of vitality to the owner. It's just that this kind of space container is a one-way space container, that is, it can only take things out from the inside to the outside, but cannot store things from the outside. What's even more amazing is that this "Golden Heart" will produce a steady stream of gold, and the gold produced will be stored inside the "Golden Heart" and can be taken out at any time.

"Lord Shangguan!" Gu Xin also looked at the scroll full of square words on it, "Can you understand all the words on it?"

"Of course. Shangguan Ziyang didn't reply, and said, "This is originally my native language." ”

"Lord Shangguan, you can actually recognize this kind of writing! This seems to be the script used by the god of war in ancient times when he existed? Now almost no one can decipher it! I didn't expect you to be able to read it so stress-free! Wait...... You say it's yours...... Mother tongue?!" Under Amiri's exclamation, everyone turned their eyes to Shangguan Ziyang's "mother tongue ?!?!?"

"Hmm, did I just say that?" Shangguan Ziyang denied without hesitation when he saw this, "I didn't say anything!

Shangguan Ziyang ignored the others and put the red crystal obtained from Gu Xin into the slot under the golden heart.

A strong light suddenly lit up on the scroll, and everyone was flashed to their eyes by the sudden light, but fortunately, Shangguan Ziyang had already prepared, blocked his eyes with his hand, and looked at his other hand from between his fingers to the place where it glowed, grabbed the "Golden Heart", and took it out violently.

"Heart of Gold!" Shangguan Ziyang looked at the golden heart that looked like a small turtle's shell, and the light on it poured into his body along his hand the moment he held the golden heart, and he also felt the inner space of the golden heart at this moment, and there were a few more gold coins in it in just a few seconds, and the number of gold was increasing every moment.

"Gold?!" Shangguan Ziyang did not believe in evil and turned the mouth of the turtle shell downward, and shook it vigorously a few times, sure enough, in a "bang" metal impact, there were more than ten copper coin-style gold coins on the ground, Shangguan Ziyang picked up one casually, and found that this gold coin weighed about 100 grams, copper coin style, round-edged square hollowed out in the middle, and there were four traditional Chinese characters around the hollow: Daqin Tongbao.

"Eh, how can there be gold coins from the Great Qin Empire?" Gu Xin, whose eyes had regained his eyesight, looked at the gold coins on the ground and asked.

"Yes, this is the coin style of the Great Qin Empire, this is specially designated for circulation on the mainland, and can be used with other gold coins, and the weight is the same standard. Alice, who hadn't spoken much, also spoke.

Shangguan Ziyang shook his golden heart again, and "shaken" a few gold coins from it.

"I'm Cao, what is this?!" Gu Xin was no longer calm, and looked at the turtle shell in Shangguan Ziyang's hand and asked.

"You can produce 5 gold coins in about 5 seconds, which is one gold coin per second...... Although the numbers match, ...... What kind of principle is this?" Shangguan Ziyang ignored Gu Xin and said to himself, "There is also this principle that can be made smaller, which cannot be explained by scientific common sense at all, magic ...... Can we break through the law of conservation of matter?"

"What are you talking about?" Ike asked, "Why don't we understand what you're saying?"

"It's nothing!" Shangguan Ziyang said, "I'm talking to myself, please don't care." Shangguan Ziyang put away the scroll and tied the turtle shell around his waist, "Don't worry about it so much, let's move on! Oh, by the way, is the currency of this world still a gold coin?"

"Eh, haven't you ever bought something?" Gu Xin was very strange about Shangguan Ziyang's question, and squatted down to pick up more than a dozen gold coins on the ground, "This is the currency style formulated by the Great Qin Empire for foreign transactions, and the four 'divine words' on it mean the meaning of 'the currency of the Great Qin Empire', and the transactions between various countries and races on the continent are basically calculated by this weight of gold coins- Of course, gold coins are relatively large denominations, and most of the time the smaller transactions are silver and copper coins, and of course, each has its own specifications. ”

"Oh, is that so?" Shangguan Ziyang looked at the gold coins in Gu Novice's hand and said, "So, who designated this rule? Who can have such an ability?"

"Uh...... My lord...... It's not made by someone, it's a country...... "the new expression is very weird", which should be something that everyone knows...... It was the rules set by the Carter Principality of Commerce, which was the richest country on the continent and a country founded by a group of pure merchants, and the religion of this country was Koranism. You don't even know this common sense, do you?"

"How could I not know!" Shangguan Ziyang said in a disguised way, "I'm just testing you!" The feeling of forcibly pretending to be forced is really a bit painful, but Shangguan Ziyang has to pretend to be this in order not to destroy his "tall" image.

"That'...... Can this gold coin be circulated in the Night Empire?" Shangguan Ziyang turned his gaze to Alice on Patrick's shoulder.

"Hmph!" Alice tilted her head, and her puffing appearance seemed to be very unhappy with Shangguan Ziyang.

"Of course it can be circulated!" As if he felt Shangguan Ziyang's embarrassment, Gu Xin immediately replied, "Because it is the same standard, of course it can be circulated and used!"

"Magic Savings Card, what's the matter?" Shangguan Ziyang seemed to have heard some strange noun again.

"That's a savings card. Gu Xin took out a card that didn't look big from his arms, and Shangguan Ziyang took this card, which felt a bit like a card for an ID card from the Earth Era.

"The issuing agency of this is the Continental Mage United Association, there are 100,000 gold coins in this card, and gold coins can be withdrawn at any fulcrum of the Continental Mage United Association, but it will reduce the magic fluctuations in it accordingly, and when the magic fluctuations are exhausted, it means that the balance is exhausted and needs to be recharged. However, this uses the unique craftsmanship of the Continental Mage Association, and the energy in it will not be lost out of thin air - even if this card is broken, it can be replaced with a new card at any fulcrum of the Continental Mage Association. Gu Xin seemed to be worried that Shangguan Ziyang didn't understand, so he explained.

"I see. Shangguan Ziyang probably knew, and returned the card to Gu Xin, "It seems that in this world, magic is the first productive force!"

The significance of the existence of this card makes this so-called "Continental Mage United Association" able to roll up most of the wealth on the continent into the association, and all the Mage Association needs to do is to issue such a card. The existence of such an organization really makes it impossible to imagine what the background is like, and it seems that people in this world have not yet realized what the meaning of the existence of this card is, and only see the help for business, but they do not see that in such a situation, the actual controller of all the wealth on both sides of the transaction is actually the Mage Association.

"Then you are really rich! You can even take out a savings card of 100,000 gold coins casually. Shangguan Ziyang said to Gu Xin.

"Where, you really haven't seen a real rich man!" Gu Xin said modestly, "If you have the opportunity to go to the Carter Commercial Principality, you will know what a rich person is." ”

(Maybe I'm a "rich man" now) Shangguan Ziyang touched the heart of gold tied around his waist and thought.

"Shall we move on then?" asked the orc Blue.

"Oh yes, if we can, we'd better go to the nearest elven city and get some real gear. Gu Xin looked at the group of orcs who were still wearing animal skins and said, "Since you have entered the civilized society, then follow the ideas of the civilized society, get some real clothes to wear, well, it is better to get some weapons at hand." After all, there may be various unexpected events along the way. And you'd better take a shower again!You seem to have a smell on you!" Gu Xin said and covered his nose with his hands, making a look of disgust.

"Boy, you have a lot to say!" said the orc Ellath with a wink at Gu Xin.

"Eldest sister, don't be like this, it's a big deal, can't I contract all the expenses at that time?" Gu Xin didn't look afraid, but it seemed that he really looked "disgusted"?

"Oh, it's easy to say," Shangguan Ziyang decided, "Then it's all up to you then!, Alice, where is the big city?"

"Hmph!" Alice still looked unhappy with Shangguan Ziyang.

"I know, I came from the east before, and there is a medium-sized city of the elves in front of me, so let's go there. Gu Xin put forward his own suggestions.
