Chapter 1224: The Old People's Hesitation

The old priests still had that professional-level 'kind' smile, and they did not agree or refuse. It may be that the sound coming from the silk bag is quite crisp and not heavy at all. This meant that the number of coins was a bit small, so it didn't impress the old men.

Lin proceeded directly to the second step and poured out the coins in the silk packet. It was more than a dozen golden Gwana Empire double-sided kiels (gold coins), and everyone's eyes lit up when they saw it.

The coins of the Gwana Empire are round in shape and engraved with the symbol of the date of minting on the edges. One side is a portrait of the emperor from the casting period, and the other side is a print representing a tulip of the imperial family. The fineness of the casting fully reflects the exquisiteness of the imperial casting technology.

Compared with coins minted in other countries, it may be a piece of gold that is burned soft, and then pressed out like a seal. Most of them are one-sided, and they will not be deliberately rounded, but only pay attention to the sufficient amount.

Ugly is ugly, but the fineness of coins is more important than their appearance than the issue of minting technology.

There is no alloying technology, so the fineness of the coins is based on the degree of purity of the metal, but it is also impossible to purify to 100% pure gold or pure silver and pure copper. Not only because it can't be done, but also because the metal with too high purity is too soft, and it can't withstand several uses after being minted into coins, I'm afraid it will become a gold lump that no one recognizes. Therefore, the handling of this depends on the conscience of the caster.

The coins of several empires are in good condition and beautifully minted. Even if you want to make a counterfeit from other metals of similar color, it is of course quite difficult to imitate. This is also the reason why the coins minted by the Gwana Empire are called good coins.

Most of the coins minted in other countries are just coins, or even inferior coins that ordinary people disdain to use. In terms of use, these coins and bad coins may not be used as 'one' coins in other places except in the country where they were minted. It takes more money to be able to buy something at a certain price, and it is possible that it can even be banned.

Although mathematics has begun to circulate in mystery over the years. However, there is still no general understanding of the 'exchange rate' of money, bad money, and good money, which is not ,—— mysteriously speaking. When merchants come across coins that are not good money, they still use the old practice to shout the price purely by feeling, or they do not accept it.

Under the current economic system of Midi, the purchasing power of the more than ten Gwana Empire gold coins that Lin took out is amazing. Regardless of the magician's perception of spending money that is different from ordinary people, after all, the price of magic materials is not close to the people at all, these more than ten gold coins are enough for the size of a family in this temple, and it takes a whole year to eat and wear, if you don't squander it.

So after seeing that the silk bag that was not sinking at all contained the gold coins of the Gwana Empire, even the old priests who had seen the world had their eyes lit up.

The children ran to the table, and all the big and small climbed on the edge of the table, and while looking at the gold coins, they exclaimed in a milky voice, "Is this Kiel?" It's the first time I've seen it. ”

Hey, this is the temple of the goddess of gold coins. A group of little dolls said that the first time they saw the 'gold coin', how miserable it was.

Lucrecia, the little girl, seemed to not believe it, but she clasped her hands into fists on the spot, bowed her head and prayed. And then there's a magic shot at the coins scattered across the table! Under the power of the gods, the gold coins emitted a holy white light, and looked holy and flawless.

"Wow, it's really Kiel." As if a girl who had never seen money in her life, her eyes lit up and she exclaimed.

"Wait a minute, what was that magic just now?" Lin asked curiously.

The eldest priest replied, "It is a form of identification, but it can only be used to determine the fineness of coins." The whiter the better, the darker the not. It doesn't matter if it's Kiel (gold), Jiangjun (silver), or Danba (copper). Like the white light just now, it means that this is the Kiel minted by the Empire. ”

Wow, there is such a magic technique. Someone who has been in a daze for more than 20 years only found out about it today. The point is that this magic is very good, and it will be of great use in the future, but it needs to be modified.

To put it simply, when someone brings a coin to the door, they treat all the coins as 'one' coins, or after the color is appraised, they call out a random exchange rate as merchants are used to.

If you want to develop a credible exchange rule, what is the basis? Identification of the priest's free mind? This kind of practice is no different from asking for a dead end, and it is absolutely undesirable. This is where this magic comes in handy, but it just needs to be more detailed. To put it bluntly, it is to digitize the identification results.

However, the details of the magic can only be discussed with His Majesty. The priests used divine arts, at most, in terms of the timing and method of use, showing a person's sophistication or jerkiness, but the effect of divine magic was the same, and it could not be changed by ordinary people.

And after appraising the Kiel condition given by Lin, the old priests' attitude of ignoring them loosened somewhat. At least under the eager attention of a group of children, big and small, they are also ruthless and push the money that is almost in hand. What's more, the purpose of this money is not to make them violate their conscience and do some blasphemous acts. So the oldest priest thought about it for a moment, and said:

"Your Excellency the Magician, you said you were going to make an offering, but you don't know what it is?"

Although since the time of the old gods, the new gods who have been newly ascended in the past thousand years, except for a few who have special requirements for offerings, most of the gods do not care very much about the content of the offerings. They are not demons, they need blood or souls. The gods were more concerned about the heart that came with the offerings.

There are those who are really quite religious, willing to sacrifice their most precious things to the gods; But there are also those who see offerings as a bargaining chip. For example, the offerings made by magicians to the eight powerful lords during their meditation rituals are the case of the latter.

But not everything can be sacrificed. Every god still has its forbidden area. If you commit these taboos, the punishment of God is quite light, but you are afraid of affecting others. Like a priest who presides over ceremonies......

Therefore, when the old priest asked this, he also wanted to ensure that the offering of the magician in front of him would not violate the taboo of His Majesty in the sky, and then anger himself.

In fact, asking this question also implies that he agreed to the magician's request, but he just had to make the final check. Of course, Lin was not dissatisfied with such a result. He took out another silk pouch from his bosom, took out a Hongyao-level magic stone and put it on the table, and pushed it forward.

The offerings to the gods of the Lost Land are more or less a continuation of the traditions of the Old Gods era, with sacrifices being considered to be of a fairly high standard, followed by works of art made of precious metals such as gold and silver.

I don't know if it's because the magicians are in high demand and can't spare it for sacrifice to the gods, or if the big guys in the sky don't look down on the magic materials that can be sacrificed in the world. Or maybe it's too precious to look at, and both magicians and ordinary nobles are reluctant to give such precious things.

In short, it is quite rare to take a magic stone as an offering. Almost normal people would not do this, but the magician in front of him did.

The old priest picked up the magic stone and examined it carefully. Hexagonal column type, with two pointed cones. As soon as you grasp it, the ends of the pointed cone protrude slightly, which is the standard cut of the magic stone. It is said that the magic stone cut in this way is the easiest way to release the power contained in the magic stone. However, such a magic stone is not a work of art that can be placed on the altar of the gods.

My Healing Game

The old priest did not directly veto what he had in his hand, but planned to ask for clarification before replying. So he asked, "Your Excellency, what is this offering ......?" ”

"Your Excellency, you don't think I'm going to offer a magic stone. What I offer is the most precious thing of a magician, which is our knowledge. Lin nodded confidently. He added: "The information stored in it can be opened with a browser magic stone, and I can believe that simple little magic, which is not difficult for His Majesty in the sky." ”

The old priest still didn't agree. He asked cautiously, "Your Excellency, I don't know if I can read the content first. ”

If you ask such a sentence more, you are also afraid of the content recorded by the magic stone, even if it is not a blasphemous speech, it is also related to personal privacy. Either way, it is definitely not a good idea to rashly offer it to His Majesty in Heaven.

Although Lin didn't understand the old priest's true thoughts, he didn't fail to understand such worries. For example, before the crossing, if someone wanted to pass a note or a letter to the leader above him through himself, he would also worry about whether there was any nonsense in the content. Don't sell favors, but bring yourself into the ditch. So Lin made a 'please' gesture and motioned for the old priest to check the contents.

After receiving permission, the priests did not pretend to be reserved. Several people took out their browser magic stones, skillfully opened the water mirror screen, and used their magic stones to contact the Hongyao-level magic stones that Lin was about to offer, and read its contents.

The content is about the establishment and operation of an organization, and it is related to money. After a cursory reading, the priests could not say whether they admired or repulsed. Although it feels like the organizational structure depicted in the content of the material can be established, it should be a good thing. But they are all old people, and their acceptance of new things is not so fast.

But these judgments should not be left to them. At least the content of the magic stone, there is no kind of text that will anger the gods, so let's offer it. Several old priests glanced at each other and understood each other's meaning.

"Lu, you take the other children to tidy up the altar and get ready for a sacrifice." The old priest gave direct instructions to the young girls who remained in the church and were mainly responsible for taking care of the young children. After saying that, the priests also got up and went to make their own preparations.

Lin then asked, "Everyone, I wonder if I can stay and watch the ceremony?" ”

"Of course, Your Excellency the Magician. As long as you believe in our Lord, you are a believer in His Majesty Coyin. His Majesty will not refuse anyone to participate in the worship of Him. ”

Seeing that the old priests had a perfunctory attitude, Lin was noncommittal. Anyway, it's good to achieve your own goals, and you don't care what other people think.

And one of the most important purposes, which has never been mentioned to others, is to hold a sacrificial ceremony in the temple, and there should be a chance to peek into the kingdom of the goddess of gold coins. As long as you let yourself see it, you should be able to determine the coordinates of the other party. If things don't turn out as you expected, then Plan B can be implemented.
