Chapter 361: Neverwinter, Scorching Sun Competition
When the sun sank again in the west, turning the entire sea into a dusk color, the majestic Neverwinter finally appeared in front of everyone.
Along the way, the team didn't encounter any other monsters, except for a group of goblins who didn't have long eyes and a few ogres that had been recruited because of Trixie.
Such an evil creature doesn't need Townsen's action at all, and experienced adventuring squads can easily deal with it.
"Welcome to Neverwinter!" The wanderer said excitedly, "Although this adventure did not pay off as expected, at least we got to know Mr. Townsen, a spellcaster from another world, and I think this reason is enough to get you drunk in the tavern." ”
"We can go to Moonlight Masquerade!" Mr. Eylwin's eyes lit up, "Or the Shining Serpent Inn and the Fallen Tower Tavern." ”
"I've heard that you can find all kinds of adventurers in the Fallen Tower, and I mean, based on the stories I've heard, quite a few legendary adventurers go there for a drink, including-"
The dwarf began to chatter again, but along the way everyone had become accustomed to his inability to keep his mouth shut, so they simply ignored him and began to talk to themselves.
"It's too expensive to spend in those places." The wanderer looked embarrassed: "I recommend the Three Bears Tavern, the price is affordable, and I know the owner well, so I can discount it." ”
"I'm curious about the Moonlight Mask." "I heard it was a floating hotel. ”
"That's right, an inn suspended above the business district, they use special hoverboats to pick up and drop off guests, and if you're honorable, they even have magic flying carpets." "Of course, these services are not free, and even if they just send a few of us there, it will cost enough money to get us drunk at the Three Bears Tavern for days!" ”
"I'm in for a treat!" Trish said without hesitation.
"This is the best news I've heard today!" Barn suddenly smiled: "I knew that it was the right choice for you to join the team in the first place!" ”
He didn't mention his complaints every time the caster was reckless, and said excitedly, "I've heard that the banquet hall of Moonlight Masquerade can even eat food from the Karatu Continent!" ”
"Absolutely." The wanderer said, "As long as you have enough money, I mean, the bread there costs two dragon coins!" ”
He showed an exaggerated expression: "A piece of bread is worth as much as gold, I really don't know who will eat it." ”
"Of course, the nobles and the big merchants." Barn shrugged: "They are not short of money, and a little leakage under their hands is enough for us poor adventurers to fight for a long time." ”
Trish tilted her head and said, "But if we can find a dragon's lair, won't we be able to have a wealth far superior to theirs?" ”
Barn: "You're right, but you don't have to go through the hassle, it's faster to rob Neverwinter anyway, and it's about the same level of difficulty anyway. ”
"I'm not in favor of that, robbery is immoral." The warrior monk reminded.
"I'm kidding!" Barn roared.
In short, in between the fights, the gates of Neverwinter are already standing in front of everyone, this is one of the four gates of Neverwinter, leading directly to the most prosperous area of Neverwinter, the Guardian Enclave.
Raising their heads, everyone could already see all the towering buildings peeking out from behind the city walls, and the wanderer, as the head of the land, explained very familiarly: "That's Madame Gillian's mage tower, she is a powerful mage who specializes in the transformation system. ”
"Over there is the temple of Tyre, the Hall of Justice."
"Of course, you'll also be able to see the Neverwinter Castle, which was formerly the residence of the Ember Lord, and of course, now it belongs to the new city lord of Neverwinter, Fox."
"Furci?" Tang Sen raised his eyebrows slightly.
"That's right." "As much as I don't like him, many people think he's brought a new ethos to Neverwinter, for example, as he plans to revive the Scorching Sun Tournament. ”
"The Scorching Sun Contest?" The warrior monk frowned: "That cruel game? ”
"That's right." "If you're interested, I'll be able to get tickets, but quickly, if I'm not mistaken, the day after tomorrow will be the time of the Scorching Sun Tournament." ”
"What game? How cruel is it? Trish asked curiously.
"It's to let some adventurers be hunted down by all kinds of monsters until the final winner is produced." Barn said with a lack of interest: "It's just the entertainment of the big guys." ”
"I want to participate!" Trihy's eyes lit up.
"I don't think it's a good idea." It wasn't Barn who said this, but Townsend with a thoughtful expression on his face: "Perhaps, at the Scorching Sun Competition, something unpleasant will happen. ”
The name Furci and the Sun Contest reminded him of some related plots.
Of course, Townsend didn't plan to get involved in these plots, and his main goal now was to find the remnants of that Netheril.
"It's our turn to go into town." The wanderer interrupted the conversation, "Don't forget to prepare the entrance fee I don't enter through the southwest gate very often, and the other gates don't need to pay an extra five pins." ”
"Of course, I have already prepared Mr. Townsen's entrance fee for you, and this is only a trivial thought."
Jian'er is a slang term for the people of Waterdeep and Neverwinter, who habitually refer to their copper coins as Jian'er, silver coins as shards, silver and gold coins as sambar, gold coins as dragon coins, and platinum coins with the highest value as suns.
The monetary system of the world of Feron is relatively complex, each powerful city-state and kingdom will issue its own currency, and each country has a unique name for its own currency, of course, the currency is always based on precious metals, that is, copper, coins, silver-gold, gold and platinum coins.
With the exception of one gold coin, which is equivalent to two silver and gold coins, the other four currencies are friendly decimal systems.
Of course, the currencies of various countries and city-states also have different conversion ratios when they are in circulation, which is a more complicated matter, and usually few people except merchants will specialize in this knowledge.
The spending power of gold coins, that is, dragon coins, is very strong, in Neverwinter, a loaf of bread only costs two copper coins, a mug of ale only costs four copper coins, and a piece of cheese costs one silver coin, for the frugal commoners, the expenditure of two silver coins a day can be very comfortable.
Of course, for adventurers, the cost is much more than that, an ordinary dagger can be sold for two dragon coins, heavy weapons such as battle axes or chain flails are more expensive, requiring ten dragon coins, and a complete set of armor is even more exaggerated, a set of fine full-body plate armor can be sold for fifteen hundred dragon coins.
And that's just equipment without magical power, those magic potions, magic scrolls, and even magic equipment are not cheap.
That's why so many people want to be adventurers, because maybe a successful adventure, even if it's just a magical piece or two or some books with valuable knowledge, can make them a fortune that a commoner can't imagine in a lifetime.
Of course, most adventurers end up with a bankrupt and ready to go, then abandon their lives in the wasteland, and their possessions become the collection of goblins or ogres.
