Section 11 The Antlers of the Stag

Challenging the strong in Faeron is a very courageous thing, if he fails, he will be regarded as an arrogant guy who is not able to do anything, so Tim will never do that kind of stupid thing that has no chance of winning, especially since the other party is still a little girl whose hair has not yet grown, Tim is sure that if he really makes a move, he will definitely become the biggest laughing stock in Silvermoon City.

But Xiao Sha'er, who finally found a fun "game", didn't want to just forget it: "Don't! Xiaomi Sha'er doesn't agree! Xiaomi Sha'er wants a duel!"

Tim's hairy face collapsed, and he said with a "righteous spirit" and a "righteous speech": "Hmph! I, Tim, am an upright halfling, how can I do that kind of thing to bully children? Haha! Or you can hack me to death, anyway, I, Tim, will never do anything!"

The onlookers next to him all understood Tim's thoughts, and deliberately laughed and coaxed: "Tim, get up and fight, like a man!"

"Haha! Short man, here we go again! This time it's a little girl, don't be discouraged! Show us the majesty of our halflings!"

"Tim, do it, if you win, how about I treat you to a drink of rum?"

When had the little girl seen such a scoundrel method, she turned her head and looked at her brother aggrievedly: "William!

William secretly said in his heart: Although this guy is a little obscene, he has a little bit of eyes. He looked up and saw the Pegasus Knight in the distance coming from the sky, apparently aware of the chaos here, and William didn't want to meet the so-called "official" in this situation. He stepped forward and grabbed the halfling sitting on the ground and said, "Okay, let's get out of here first, the patrol is coming." ”

Tim hung in the air and danced angrily, "Let go of Tim! Let me go! or Tim will be angry! Okay, okay, what do you want?"

William walked around a corner and put down the halfling and said, "You say your name is Tim, all right Tim, tell me what taverns and inns are nearby, we need a place to stay." Well, if you can satisfy me," said William, taking out a few gold coins and spreading them on his palm, "the money is yours." The money was earned by William selling skins and stuff in Miraba, not the one that Santila had put in the ring, and the two were not the same.

Tim glanced at the gold coin and said, "Ho, it's just a coin privately minted by the city lord of Milaba in the past, and it's not good to use here." If you're sincere, why don't you treat me to a drink? ”

Due to the complexity and chaos of the various countries and city-states in Faerun, and the lack of a unified political body, the currency of each region was also chaotic and difficult to circulate, and the currency of one region was basically similar to scrap metal in another region. Gold is not very valuable here, but it is easy to mint and store, resistant to wear and tear, and is very popular with dragons (which involves some dragon privacy), so it has become the main material for coinage.

In Feeron, there is a gold coin that has been unanimously recognized by all forces, including the gods of the heavenly realm and the demons of the abyss, and that is the magic gold coin handed down from ancient Netheril, and some say that this kind of gold coin existed before the rise of Netheril, but later the alchemists of Nethrel cracked its recipe and remastered the method of minting this gold coin (it seems to have been lost again). This specially formulated gold coin has a variety of uses, and no one knows exactly how many Nessreel ancient coins have survived, but it is said that it is more than enough to buy the entire main plane.

In addition to using various physical treasures as wealth, almost all countries use this ancient currency as a ballast for the treasury, and only a small part of it is actually circulated in the market. However, every year, adventurers unearth treasures in the course of various ruins and other adventures, and a large number of ancient gold coins flow into the market, although most of them will be secretly collected by some forces, but there will still be many ancient gold coins in private collections, because they are real hard currency after all.

Although William doesn't know much about this aspect due to inertial thinking (earthlings only recognize gold?), this does not prevent him from becoming a real rich man, because there are already people who have everything ready for him.

Tim quickly moved his little short legs, as if a large vat of fine rum had been placed in front of him waiting for him, Tim shouted as he ran: "Hey, big guys, are you going out for the first time? Haha! Tim guesses accurately! Needless to deny, you can't fool the experienced halfling Tim, no one will take Miraba's money to Silvermoon City to use, you must know that the relationship between Mirabah and Silvermoon City has never been good. "In the past, Mirabah did not have a good relationship with any of the cities in the Northlands, and although the mining city with the change of leader has now begun to seek allies, these are all done in secret, and it is difficult for ordinary people to know. ,

"You know, only magic gold (ancient gold coins) is really useful, right! magic gold! Do you rookies know magic gold? haha! I guess you won't know either!" Tim led William and the others to a house with many huge elk-antlers hanging outside, and there was a cheerful strange music inside: "Haha! Stag Horns, the best tavern in Silvermoon City, where the purest rum is here!Ah! The smell of rum, old Tim can't wait." ”

"Hey, Milner, a big glass of the finest rum, the biggest cup, another eel pie!" Tim greeted the waiter as he stepped through the carved wooden door. Milner, the waiter, heard the familiar shout and turned back and replied loudly, "Oh, Tim, you scoundrel dwarf, bearded goat, and you're here to cheat and drink again" When he saw the mother and daughter walking in with Michael William and Yasuna in his arms, he immediately stopped his mouth, and the prominent person is always in the spotlight, especially in this world where strength is honored.

Three tall guys entered the arena, and the waiter Milner immediately lowered his voice, many adventurers are not very good-tempered, although this is Silvermoon City, which is known for its peace, but fights are also inevitable, and Milner does not want to be beaten by a guest who loses his temper. He glared at the halfling with a friend-like anger, and hurriedly ran to a few people to lead William and the others to an empty wooden table, and said with a humble smile: "Sit here, what can I do for you?" Rum or gin?"

William put Millet down and surveyed the tavern, the walls were covered with elk antlers and other decorations, as well as many strange slogans and lanterns, heavy tables and benches made of pine, many wooden piers cut out of wood for chairs, and of course some chairs with backrests in the corners. Although there were many empty tables, there were no fewer guests at this time, many people tapping lightly on the tables or other places with the beats of a few elven musicians, and a few of the more enthusiastic guests were dancing a kind of brisk dance steps.

Yasuna and Phinea watched with great interest the performances of the drinkers, and Mi Sha'er even climbed up to the table to see better, these novelties made them feel fresh. William looked at the three of them and said mildly to Milner, "Do you have any juice or anything like that?"

Milner smiled and replied, "We have freshly squeezed lettuce juice here, and cellar strawberry wine, which is a low-strength fruit wine that can be drunk by children, as well as the best mead and snake fruit wine." ”

William nodded and said, "Hmm! a large glass of freshly squeezed lettuce juice with more honey." Another barrel of low-strength fruit wine, let's make strawberries. ”

Tim next to him was not happy: "Rum, Tim's rum, big man, you promised to treat Tim to a barrel of the best rum!"

William laughed, "I can't forget you!" Mr. Milner, give this Tim a big glass of rum, as he just said. ”

The waiter Milner bowed and said, "Sir, you can just call me Milner." Would you like to order more, sir? We have a special venison steak, a unique eel pie, a specialty of the Ruiwen River with a shell roasted river crab, authentic smoked sausages, a variety of flavored breads and the famous Silver Moon nut cheese. ”
