readx;?“ You already knew there was something wrong with the coachman?" Yasuna asked curiously on the side, she felt that she couldn't understand William more and more, the little man in front of her seemed to have infinite secrets buried in him, his strength, his character, his resourcefulness, his belief Yasuna didn't find out that Sandro had a problem, but William saw it, this is a very hurtful problem, Yasuna wanted to know how William found the flaw. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

William fiddled with the gadgets in his hand a few times, and sighed slightly: "Yes, I was suspicious from the beginning. Although he hid himself very well, almost seamlessly, but for a groom, his qi and blood were a little too strong, even the thorny rose on the carriage was a little incomparable, do you think there is a problem?"

Yasuna couldn't help but be at a loss, scratched her blue hair, and asked with interest: "You often talk about 'qi and blood', what is qi and blood?"

William thought about how to explain the word "qi and blood", and paused for a moment before saying: "You can think of it as life vitality, the stronger a life's ** energy, the greater his life vitality will be, and the more powerful his strength will be." Of course, William also understood that what he said was not completely absolute, and there were also cases where the combat power of qi and blood was strong but weak, such as some large-sized herbivores.

"Life vitality?" Yasuna's eyes froze into a puzzled expression, "Then how do you sense life vitality, why can't I feel it?"

William smiled and didn't explain, but turned his gaze to Millet Sha'er, the little girl was sitting on the big bed with Miluna at this time, fiddling with the gems from "debt collection", and the two little ones each grabbed various gems of extraordinary value in the eyes of others, and played the game of "playing stones" with great interest. There are already half a dog-sized cat and cat insects squatting on the side looking at the colorful gems very curious, from time to time stretched out their soft little paws to try to play with it, this little thing is definitely a thing that remembers to eat and not remember, completely forgetting the misery of being "abused" by the little girl before

On the streets of West Cambe, the innkeeper Old Corbis is leading a group of idlers to make big purchases, and the bakery and slaughterhouse are one of their destinations. Bakeries are not generally located in the outer cities, although their main customers are merchants and travelers from other places, as well as hotels and taverns that serve them. Except for single or lazy people, local residents rarely visit the bakery, so the bakery's business is not very good at this time.

"Dom, as soon as I return from the butcher's shop at Girkin, prepares me two dozen (twenty-four) men of fine toast, and forty men of ordinary bread. I'll leave Sineri here and wait, don't be stunned, if you delay the effort, I'll come back and kick your ass" After entering the bakery, old Corbis grabbed a few strings of Taor coins and threw them on the baker's board, and greeted him loudly. The Pottery Coin is a copper coin that circulates only in Waterdeep and its surrounding sister cities, and this brassy square coin has a hole in the middle that can be used with a rope or

Something else is strung together. Of course, once out of the confines of Waterdeep and its allies, this currency is worthless.

Not long ago, old Corbis had just exchanged a magic gold coin for fifty taoles (one string was a hundred taores) from the city tax collector, and in fact he didn't really want to exchange them, because if he had changed the time, old Corbis could have exchanged at least a hundred taoles or more from the underground money dealers.

Here I have to talk about the commercial customs of the Jianwan area, theoretically these cities do not charge entry taxes, although there are one or two more greedy city exceptions, such as Luskan. But when a caravan enters a city, the leader of the caravan must exchange a certain amount of local currency with the city tax collector, depending on the number of people in the caravan. For example, it costs 50 tauls to buy a pound of gold in a gold and silver shop in Waterdeep, but if you take a pound of gold and you can only exchange it for a maximum of 30 tauls with the tax collector, and this exchange is one-way (i.e. you can only exchange gold for taole, not taole for gold).

Especially in the early days, when the Taoer coin could only be used within the scope of Waterdeep, only the official currency exchange of the tax officer was legal, and any private exchange was illegal. Therefore, as soon as many foreign merchants who did not know the inside information entered the city, nearly half of their wealth disappeared virtually.

This is an extremely despicable method of wealth plunder, and the lords of other cities will naturally not let it be exploited, so they have begun to follow suit and take revenge on Waterdeep.

In the early days of Waterdeep, the city's leaders used the power of the temple of the goddess of commerce to negotiate with the lords of various places to agree on a recognized currency, the Hong Kong Moon Coin, which is a flat crescent-shaped currency with precious platinum doped with Mithril as the main body, and inlaid with amber gold with a special pattern, this currency has a little magic energy (with anti-counterfeiting function), also known as the Magic Sun Coin, and a Hong Kong Moon Coin is called a Magic Sun.

Because of Waterdeep's unique status, almost most of this magic coin has gone to the Shining City. Later, in order to take revenge on Waterdeep City, the lords of various places who suffered losses in commercial trade deliberately reduced the value of magic sun coins, for example, in Deep Water City, a magic sun can buy a pound of gold, but in Silvermoon City, it can only buy a little more than half a pound. Unlike Nessera Gold Magic Coins, which are more expensive to craft, they are only a general equivalent of a higher value, while Nessera Gold Magic Coins can be used not only as a general equivalent, but also as an extremely valuable spell medium and consumable.

Since the magic sun is only used in the settlement of off-site transactions, it does not have much impact on the daily life of ordinary people in other cities except waterdeep, and only some local merchants and waterdeep city where magic sun is flooded are damaged

The financial war nearly ruined the development of Waterdeep City for hundreds of years, and although the lords of Waterdeep City eventually quelled the disaster, the entire Radiant City was severely damaged, and most of the wealth accumulated was wiped out.

Today, Waterdeep and its allies (including West Cambe) no longer prohibit the exchange of money between private individuals, but still retain the function of the tax collector and use a certain amount of currency exchange as an entry tax. Of course, private coinage, which is almost equivalent to blasphemy, is untouchable, and the only person who is qualified to mint coins is the temple of Waukin, the goddess of commerce and wealth.

You ask William and his gang why they were not levied a city tax (compulsory exchange of taur) when they entered the city?Hah, don't you see that old Corbis has just finished trading with the tax collector, otherwise why do you think he traded with the tax collector when his wealth was shrinking, and did not go to the coin smuggler who had a better exchange rate.

While the idlers of old Corbis were talking freely about William's wealth and generosity, some of the most astute smellers became aware that a rich fat sheep had entered Sicambe, and the hidden jackals began to stir up.

It didn't take long for old Corbis to notice that sneaky figures were beginning to appear around them, and the innkeeper could easily identify them. They have gangster spies, believers in various churches, and servants of the nobility, and old Corbis, who wants to scold: these dogs* have real noses

The innkeeper knew what the purpose of these sneakers was, but he knew he could do nothing about it, because he was just a small innkeeper and could not afford to offend such greedy jackals.

Nearly 10,000 people in Xikangbu, except for a small number of people engaged in handicrafts, commerce and service industries, the vast majority of the civilians are ordinary people engaged in farming, logging, fishing and hunting. But there are also a tiny handful of restless people who risk dying and mutilating every day or even every moment, gambling with their lives for potentially huge rewards.

Exploration, violence, killing, robbery, death, this is not a wonderful world, compared to the hard work all year round, too many people want to take one step to the sky, get countless wealth at once, and live a relaxed and luxurious life like a nobleman. The same is true of human beings who worship and believe in the gods, believing that with the power and power of the gods they can make themselves superior to others, even transcending mundane afflictions and becoming omnipotent saints.

There are no noble desireless people here (on the contrary, if a person fanatically believes in a certain god, it means that he has immeasurable ambitions and **), when facing the rich and powerful, people are also jealous and hateful when they are longing, envy and even awe, which is why many ** masters are keen to build their own mage towers.

(Since the fall of the Goddess of Magic, the reborn Mystra is no longer able to fully control the entire magical network as the first Goddess of Magic.) In the long years that followed

Occasionally, the magical network, which is no longer as stable as it was at the beginning, has seen countless upheavals, and of course there have been a few times when Mystra has done it on purpose. And at this time, there are always some ** masters and other spellcasters who have lost their power, and are humiliated, bullied and even slaughtered by those who hate or hate them, and only those lucky ones who have the protection of the powerful mage tower can survive. ）。
