Chapter 15: Windfall
"Why are you here so early in the morning?"
"Oh, there's something I want to trouble you, big brother......"
"What?"
"That...... Yesterday I went to the benefactor who saved me and sent him some thank-you gifts, and then on the way home I picked up a little thing......"
“...... Wait a minute, I'll wash up and change my clothes and talk to you again. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
“...... You don't need it, do you?"
"Remember how the two of us got acquainted two years ago......? I feel like I need to bathe and burn incense for a while and then look at it. ”
“......”
After coming out of the house in the south city, after walking for a long time, I arrived at the Foster house in the west city.
Li Yaer was just like yesterday, still when Sun Chenghuan came, and he hadn't gotten up yet.
However, unlike yesterday, Sun Chenghuan was directly welcomed into the side hall belonging to Li Yaer in Foster's house.
Then, there is that conversation above.
Li Yaer didn't see Sun Chenghuan at all, and left him here, and then went back to the bedroom to change clothes.
"What did you pick up two years ago?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Sun Chenghuan's ears.
Sun Chenghuan, who had just picked up the teacup and was about to drink saliva, was almost choked.
"What are you doing! I'm scared to death!" Sun Chenghuan lowered his voice and said a little annoyed.
"What are you afraid of, and no one is ...... By the way, brother, answer my question!"
"That's a long story......"
"That's a long story short. ”
"Picked up a person. ”
“......”
There was silence in my ears.
Sun Chenghuan didn't know why Erin suddenly stopped talking.
He fell silent.
It's awkward to talk into a cloud of air......
After a while, Lial walked out.
“...... Big brother, can you please stop making fun of me. Sun Chenghuan looked at Li Yaer, who came out in a formal suit, and almost choked on a mouthful of water.
"Don't, let's be serious, what did you pick up this time?"
"I'm in the woods where I came back......"
"Don't go into that detail, pick up something. Li Yaer quickly shook his head.
“...... As for it?"
"If you pick up something that scares people to death, I can pretend I don't know anything. Li Yar looked serious.
Sun Chenghuan knew that this big brother was joking with himself, and he was motivated.
Directly from his pocket, he threw the five gold coins that Irene had just given him on the table.
"What is this?Gold coins?Isn't it just a few coins...... "Li Yaer's expression suddenly became relaxed when he saw the gold coins rolling on the table, and then brought a sneer.
It's just that the content of the ridicule can't be said before it can be said.
He's noticed a little.
These gold coins seem to be a bit ...... in size
"Wait a minute......"
"I've been bigger, a lap bigger. Sun Chenghuan stopped Li Yaer, who was about to go back to the room to get the money.
"Where did you find it?" the sneer on Lial's face disappeared and became serious.
"It's in the woods. ”
“...... What do you think ......?"
"Of the Duchy of Merth. Sun Chenghuan looked serious.
“...... Why do you think so?"
"Now the gold coins of the four countries are all the same size, but the heads printed on them are different. Sun Chenghuan's face was taken for granted, "The ancient country of Penglai used copper coins, silver coins, gold ingots, and gold coins...... Only before that. ”
“...... So, you've picked up something amazing. Lear sighed.
"Isn't that amazing? Isn't it just a few gold coins...... I guess it's worth a little more than the current gold coins?"
"What! You don't know...... In the era of the original Duchy of Merce, there were anti-counterfeiting measures on the gold coins?" Li Yaer shook the gold coin in his hand and sighed.
"Anti-counterfeiting? What is the ...... of anti-counterfeiting?"
"The book says that in that era, there were alchemists who could make fake gold coins from copper, and ordinary people couldn't see it at all......"
“...... The alchemist does this...... Isn't there a shame?"
"How much is a kilogram of copper, how much is a kilogram of gold, do you know?" Li Yaer glanced at Sun Chenghuan.
Sun Chenghuan shut up.
Although I don't know, it's definitely a lot worse.
"So...... These gold coins are ...... It must have some ancient magic. As he spoke, Li Yaer rubbed the gold coin vigorously with his hand.
Suddenly, a yellow light came out of the gold coin.
"Really...... This is magic!" A little fanaticism appeared in Lial's eyes, "It's been 1,700 years, and it's still useful......"
In fact, it's only a year......
Sun Chenghuan said silently in his heart.
"What's the point of this anti-counterfeiting?"
"The gold coins of that era were collected by the people of Penglai Country at that time to study the magic left on it, just like all the magic items on the Ace Continent, and then the magic that came out of our current practice, think about it, there should be something like the origin of magic in this...... Nowadays, many great magicians hope to get in touch with something closer to the origin of magic, but now there are no magic items on the mainland, and they have no way out...... Here you have found four for them. ”
"It's five. ”
"You don't leave one for Certland, he's a serious magician. Those anti-counterfeiting gold coins back then, including a lot of magic items, were used by the aboriginal magicians of the Ace Continent to study why they couldn't use magic and consumed them...... Do you think Cortland would be interested in this?"
“...... Well, four. Sun Chenghuan nodded.
What, four? There may be more than four thousand in a ring......
"You know these things...... Will it cause much of a twist?" Lear sighed.
"It won't be any ...... like it was two years ago"
"It's just a princess, it's been picked up, it's taken away, there won't be any follow-up, until there, this time this ......"
"What could be more intimidating than a princess?"
"The princess of the country of Merce, only the army of the country of Merce will come and rob it. Li Yaer's face was serious, "You have a few things, there will be troops from four countries to grab them." You say, which is more scary. ”
Sun Chenghuan suddenly regretted it.
Myself...... Originally, it was only intended to be sold as a collectible.
Just imagine, there shouldn't be much left of things from 1,700 years ago, right? How can such a gold coin be sold for 100 or so gold coins?
Five gold coins make up five hundred, plus his current house can be sold for about a hundred gold coins, adding up to six hundred gold coins, he should be able to buy a house in the civilian area of Nazaire that is about the same size as his current house, right?
However, how did this thing suddenly become a rare treasure?
Sun Chenghuan naturally understood that if this involved some knowledge about the origin of magic, then it was really not an exaggeration for the armies of the four countries to rob it.
Now the four nations are at war, if any one can master the power of magic from 1,700 years ago......
The form of war will change completely!
That stinky girl, you can't come up with something not so weird!
It's really going to be my life!
"You brought it to me, it's actually going to be auctioned, right?" Li Yaer looked at Sun Chenghuan's black face like the bottom of the pot and laughed.
"yes, I thought it was just a collectible, and one sold for a hundred gold coins, and it was over. Then I went to Nazaire, and I had the money to buy a small house to live in there......" Sun Chenghuan sighed.
"So be it...... I'll give you ...... 10,000 gold coins, you can sell these four to me. Li Yaer thought about it and said very seriously.
“......”
"I know that these things have to be taken out and sold, not to mention 10,000, even 10 million, 10,000 gold coins, but the question is, can you sell them?" Li Yaer saw that Sun Chenghuan was silent, and quickly explained: "I bought it, that is, myself...... In the future, there will be a chance to give it as a favor. It is impossible to sell. You can't let anyone know about it, or ...... It's really going to kill many, many people. ”
"I'm actually a little curious, how do you know that this gold coin has anti-counterfeiting measures?" Sun Chenghuan changed the subject.
He didn't think 10,000 was too little.
It's a lot......
But according to Li Yaer, these gold coins are worth 10,000 gold coins......
What kind of concept is that? Sun Chenghuan didn't have it at all.
I guess you can have this one room when you pile it up...... Well, maybe you can't pile up a room!
"You don't look at what our family does. Li Yaer laughed, "How can a business person not know what money is about......?
“......”
There is a specialization in the art industry, and Sun Chenghuan is convinced.
"What, 10,000 gold coins, do you sell it or not......? How about I give you another house in Nazaire?"
"Deal. But how can I get 10,000 gold coins?"
“...... Don't you know there's something called a golden ticket?"
"What's that?"
“...... I remember your uncle was also in business!"
"yes!"
“...... I finally understand why he kicked you out of the house. ”
Lear sighed and shook his head.
"You really don't have any talent for business. Not at all. ”
“......”
