Chapter XXVII

Of course, although the skeleton figured out the joints, he didn't plan to get involved, but wanted to wait and see - after all, it wasn't clear what level of personal combat power and power in this world had reached!

"The Kingdom of Glot is so strong, it has repeatedly provoked disputes!, but ......," the skeleton said in a nonchalant tone, considering the wording, "probably because it has not been out for too long, it seems to be ...... I always feel that I am not too impressed by the Kingdom of Glot!"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "The reason why the magician is not impressed is probably because of the former Duchy of Glot instead of the current kingdom!"

Then, the old man, who seemed to think that he had found the crux of the problem, said with some smugness: "Speaking of which, the promotion of the Duchy of Grote to a kingdom was thirty years ago, and the magician felt that he was not impressed, so it should be, presumably the magician's time to do research is really too long, so he will feel this way!"

The skeleton was dumbfounded, originally just wanted to inquire about the situation of this Glot Kingdom, but he didn't expect to hear such useful information. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

So, the skeleton, who wanted to thoroughly understand the relationship and differences between the principality and the kingdom, hurriedly climbed up the pole and pretended to be curious and asked, "So, how did the Duchy of Grote get promoted to the kingdom?"

"It seems that it has found a backer, and its strength and power have soared extremously, far surpassing the surrounding principalities, and annexing some lands through wars, and then it seems that there are other things, and finally it has become a kingdom......! Since the Duchy of Grote became a kingdom, it has changed its previous humble and cautious attitude, and has become arrogant and domineering, and it is even more cruel and warlike, invading neighboring countries at every turn, not caring at all about the incense of the past, and everywhere it passes, wives are separated and families are ruined!"

Speaking of the Kingdom of Glotte, the old man was obviously angry, and his tone was very excited: "These goddamn kings and eight lambs! I don't want to think about it, when they were still principalities, who helped them every time they encountered a year of disaster and famine? Now that they are well, they will be hardened when they find a backer? Not only do they not think about reciprocation, but they also do such a miserable evil thing, how can it be unreasonable!"

The skeleton did not listen to the old man's remarks one-sidedly, because in the eyes of the skeleton with the experience of the previous life, the relationship between countries is not simply "good" or "bad" for you, it is related to too many aspects!

However, despite this, the skeleton still heard a problem from the old man's words - that is, the water in this continent is relatively deep!

The reason is very simple, in the old man's words, Grote was originally just a weak principality that needed "relief" from its neighbors, but it was only after getting a certain help that it quickly climbed to the current situation, so let's just let the old man say it is true, so what kind of help did Grote get to quickly complete the counterattack from the principality to the kingdom? So, how strong is the power that can give Grote this kind of help?

-- And these are all things that need to be explored and understood!

The old man, who had finally calmed down the anger in his heart, saw the skeleton's thoughtful look, and mistakenly thought that the skeleton was very interested in "Glot", so he wanted to "please" the old man in front of him, gritted his teeth and took out a broken map from his underwear, which had obviously been stored for a long time.

"This is ......," the skeleton that noticed the old man's movements asked with some curiosity.

"A map!" the old man said pretending to be chic, "because I saw that the magician seemed to be very interested in 'Glot', so I wanted to give this map with the 'Glot' region to the mage!"

"Oh, there are even maps!" The skeleton's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain, you know, with these maps, it can make the skeleton have the most intuitive understanding of this world, which is more conducive to collecting information about this world.

The old man looked at the skeleton's interested expression, the corners of his mouth were slightly bitter, and he felt that his "collection" no longer belonged to him.

After scanning the map, the skeleton who took the map suddenly looked a little disappointed -- because the skeleton found that this map was only a "thumbnail map" of the Kingdom of Glot, the Duchy of Tantria and some small principalities around it, not the "world map" of this world, and the territory depicted on this map was rigid and blurred, and the various terrain directions were not marked, and the most speechless thing was that this "rough" map to the extreme was still mutilated and broken!

After the skeleton hastily glanced at the map, he had no desire to continue exploring, and looked at the old man who was staring at him, and the skeleton was speechless and threw it back to him.

"Hey, hey, hey......" Looking at the "lost" "baby" map, the old man looked a little embarrassed, and explained a little dryly, "That...... The village was not rich in the first place, so it ...... There is no such 'in-demand goods' in the village, and this is what I picked up when I went to the town a few years ago...... After all, it is not easy for a small village like ours to see what the map looks like, so ...... Because I have nothing to do on weekdays, I just look at it by myself...... Hey, hey, hey...... Therefore, some places naturally appear to be ...... It's a little broken......"

Regarding the old man's explanation, the skeleton did not say no, and did not take the conversation, but directly took out a gold coin stored in the "Demon Emperor Castle" during the game period from his arms, threw it to the old man, and asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "Look, can this work?"

The old man took the gold coin with some curiosity, tossed it in his hand with some interest, and asked with some excitement: "Master Magician, may I ask which country's gold coin is this? It shouldn't be the gold coin of a nearby country, because I have seen those things, this should be the gold coin of other countries, because I feel that the style is quite unique! Not only that, but its weight is much higher than the gold coin of our nearby countries, and its quality is estimated to be three times that of the gold coin we use!"

"Oh, is it, that heavy?" asked the skeleton, whose eyes lit up, as he chased after him.

"That's right!" the old man replied in the affirmative, and then, with a little hesitation, said, "That...... Can you bite into a gold coin?...... Of course, don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting the authenticity of your gold coins, I just want to check the purity of your gold coins, so ......"

"It's okay!" the skeleton waved his hand, interrupting the old man's explanation, indicating that he didn't care.

The old man put a third of the gold coin between his teeth and chewed it gently with his teeth to test the innocence of the gold coin.

After a while, the old man took out the gold coin from his lips in surprise, and said with a stunned voice: "It's red gold!"

"How's the red gold?" the skeleton asked quickly.

The old man's expression was more complicated, but he still didn't forget to explain in detail for the skeleton: "The so-called 'red gold' refers to a gold coin of very high purity, and this kind of gold coin is said to be the currency that will be used only among the wealthy nobles, and the gold coins in circulation on the market are generally very low in purity, so often although the price is there, the actual value will also be squeezed and reduced, like this kind of gold coin, to be honest, I have seen it for the first time, this ...... This is so beautiful! Where is this currency for trading? It is clearly a work of art! Only an existence like a magician can have such a treasure that only a wealthy nobleman can use!"

"Oh, yes, if you like it, I'll give it to you!" the skeleton said casually.

"Hmm...... Yes?...... Miscellaneous...... What the?...... Give...... Give...... Give...... Send me ...... Me?" At first, the old man didn't pay attention to it, but after he understood the skeleton's consciousness clearly, the old man instantly stammered, obviously not expecting that "happiness" would come too suddenly!

"That's right!" the skeleton nodded affirmatively, and said in an indifferent tone, "It's just a gold coin!"

The old man swallowed greedily and spit, and gently stroked the gold coin for a long time, then shook his head reluctantly, handed the gold coin back to the skeleton, and said with pity: "This gold coin is better to be returned to its original owner!"

"If you like it, why not?" the skeleton asked curiously, instead of answering.

The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Who doesn't cherish gold coins? Especially the value of this kind of red gold is irresistible to ordinary people like us! But even if it is precious, what is it? After a small person like us who lives at the bottom has an object that does not match his identity, what he is waiting for will not be an increase in status and status, but may lead to death!"

The skeleton was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "The old gentleman is thoughtful, and I can't do it!"
