Volume 1 Chapter 4 Cognition of the New World
"Very well, so the first question is, who are you and why are you making trouble here. β
The knight who intervened to stop his companions from saving Leonard opened his mouth, and he could only be regarded as the only one among these people who still had the guts, "If you go back to the adults, the little ones are the soldiers of the Orn Kingdom, because the border is full of military horses from the Dos Kingdom, so they can't return to the motherland, and we have survived on this kind of plunder for several months." β
"Oh, so the land under my feet belongs to the kingdom of Doss, so these two countries are often at war? and where is this place?" Yasinger then asked.
"Yes, my lord, the kingdoms of Orn and Dos have been at war for hundreds of years, and hereβ" The knight could not answer Yasinger's words, for he really did not know what this place was.
"Benefactor, this is the village of Ghana, next to the Forest of Mist. Vera, who had been standing beside Cassinger, answered the question in place of the knight, and the friendliness shown by Yasinger on the way to the road had completely relaxed her.
"Ghana Village, a very small village. Yasinger said to himself, "Who is the person in charge of the village, and he should still be alive, right?"
"Big... My lord, the village chief has been killed by these people, and now there are only us left, and there are some women who are locked up in the wooden house next to them. One of the villagers timidly answered Yasinger's question and pointed to a wooden house not far away.
"Well, you can get up, let the people out of the hut, put these people in, leave a few men with their weapons and keep an eye on them, and the rest of the people go and put the village in order, and I need to ask some things to get your authority here to come. β
After a series of instructions, Yasinger was actually a little tired, and found a relatively complete house as a place to rest for a while.
No one dared to refute Yasinger's words, after all, there was a demon subordinate who was extremely intimidating to them, not to mention that he was also the savior of the village.
The surviving villagers did as Yasinger had said, and it wasn't long before an old man who looked very old came up to him.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Ya Singer still asked steadily, "My actions this time are not righteous and courageous, although many people in your village have been killed, but there must be more people who survived, then I need to collect the reward for saving you people." β
The old man seemed to have expected Yazingh to say, "Yes, my lord, it is a great honor for our village to do this, and we will promise you whatever reward you need." β
"Very well, but with the current situation of the village, I am afraid that it will be too difficult for you to pay money and other things, and I have thought of another way, I don't know if you want to accept it. β
"Your Excellency, please speak. β
"Don't worry, let me ask you first, do you know magic, or do you know magic. Yasinger asked the question that was most important to him.
"Your Excellency, a long time ago, people from the Holy See would come to the village to test the spiritual power of the young juniors, and those who passed would be brought to the Holy See for training. β
"How is magic classified, what are the magicians in the kingdom of Dos or Orn. β
"Magic is divided according to rank, and the strength of the Dos Kingdom and the Orn Kingdom actually has almost a fifth-order magician, and the villain is not clear about the content that is too detailed. β
"Fifth Order?" Yasinger was a little unconvinced, in his time, the fifth-order magician was just a very low-end existence.
"Yes, my lord, the Dos Kingdom is a small country, it is not easy to have a fifth-order archmage, it is said that there is only a seventh-order archmage in the northern empire, but the villain has not seen it, after all, magic above the sixth order is not within the reach of humans. β
The world is really barren. Yazinger thought so.
"Go and bring the knight who answered my question, and I'm going to ask him the same thing. β
After a short while, the knight was brought over, escorted by several villagers.
"What's your name. β
"The villain's name is Judd. The knight replied resignedly.
Yasinger looked at the knight named Judd and re-asked the question just now, but the answer he got was the same, but he couldn't imagine how the land that used to be was different after so long.
Since this was the case, Yasinger had to make a new judgment, and after asking the two parties about magic items and the like, the old villager took out a very impure magic stone, which turned out to be the source of the magic power that Yasinger explored.
Looking at this magic stone, Yasinger couldn't help laughing, he used the lowest level of detection, and the result was also the lowest level of items, and he also nervously assigned his only few subordinates to 'go into danger', which is simply ridiculous when I think about it now.
Ya Singer looked at the elderly villager again, this person has dark skin, his face is full of wrinkles, but his body is still very tough, and he can see at a glance that it is a body that has been trained by labor all year round, with gray hair, and a few leaves of unknown plants on his head, "You can temporarily consider this village manager, I want to recommend you to see me, it means that you have a certain authority." β
"Yes, sir. "The old man has seen some of the world, and he has not postponed this kind of thing.
β... Let's move on to the topic we just had, about remuneration. Yasinger began to tone heavily.
"My lord, please make a request, not only me but also the villagers who survived are very grateful to you, after all, if it weren't for your rescue, we would have died long ago. "The old man said it very sincerely, thanks from the bottom of my heart.
"I don't want money or goods, I want this village, and from now on this village will be my temporary refuge, and of course if you don't want to, I'll leave here as if nothing happened. β
Yasinger did this because he had just broken free from the seal, and he didn't know much about this familiar and unfamiliar world, so he needed a place to settle down and spread outward.
Although he said that he was free now, the comrades-in-arms who had followed him against the golden brilliance had not been completely liberated, and Yasinger could not even find other sealing locations, so he could only search and grope little by little.
The old man raised his head slowly, as if he didn't particularly understand Yasinger's words.
"I think a village like this should be very poor. Yasinger continued, "I can make it clear that if you and the other villagers swear allegiance to me, I can guarantee that you will be out of the situation you are in now, and you will be able to live a safe and peaceful life without worrying about clothes." β
"For you, my lord, I really don't dare to tell lies, for many years, in the face of the war on the border and the tax revenue of the kingdom, our whole village will be able to leave five or six thousand copper plates in a year, but my lord, if you are willing to take charge of this village, the villain naturally has no opinion, but if that happens, the kingdom will send soldiers to clean it up, and then it will be troublesome." β
Yasinger naturally didn't take such a low-level kingdom in his eyes, so he said contemptuously, "You only need to answer whether I am willing or unwilling, and I will handle the rest of the things, if it is really the kingdom that pits me, they will also keep you people, after all, taxes are too good for those bureaucrats." β
This... All right...
The old man was still a little embarrassed, but in the face of Yassinger's words, he could only agree.
Yasinger was not familiar with the connection between currencies, but he could guess that the five or six thousand copper plates mentioned by a poor mountain village like this should not be a large amount.
Let's find out the monetary value of the copper plate first, it will be very troublesome after not knowing this basic value, this is money.
Yasinger is a cautious person, before he understands the pattern of this world, he will act as low-key as possible, now he must have been said to be simply weak and unable to withstand the wind and waves, any small mistake may lead to his own failure, a person's life failure once is enough, never have a second time.
"Is the face value of the copper plate very small, if you can help me explain, about the currency. β
"Your Excellency, copper is the smallest of the currencies, a thousand copper coins can be exchanged for a silver coin, and a thousand silver coins can be exchanged for a gold coin, and there are also those with a larger face value than gold coins, but there is no circulation within the kingdom, only larger countries will have it. β
"Oh. Yasinger seemed to understand a lot, "This disaster has caused a lot of losses to the village, and it will probably cost how much money it will take to rebuild." β
Since money was essential to run the village, Yazinger naturally had no money, but he thought of another way to get money, and that was to get it from the knights who participated in the plunder.
"It's not very practical, the buildings in the village are built by the villagers themselves, and it takes a while to get them right, but two cows were killed in the village, and the cows are very important to us, and one cow needs about a thousand copper plates. β
Two thousand copper plates......
Yazinger looked at the captured knight Judd, "I'm afraid you didn't just plunder this village, you must have accumulated a lot of money, tell me where to hide." β
Judd looked at Yasinger in fear, "My lord, the little one doesn't know where all the looted wealth went, because after each operation, all the money was hidden by Captain Leonard, and if he wanted to know the location, I am afraid that only a few of his cronies know, but those guys were killed by the devil." β
What a hapless guy, Yasinger commented.
"Your Excellency, your Excellency. Seeing Yassinger's somewhat disappointed look, Judd panicked, he was afraid that this mysterious magician would be unhappy and kill himself, and hurriedly added.
Yasinger looked back at Judd.
Judd could see that Atsinger seemed to care about the acquisition of money and magic, so he told him what he knew, after all, a veteran knight knew more than a country farmer.
First of all, there are some special means to obtain money in addition to normal means, such as the adventurer's union and the mercenary union, because there are many races on the continent, such as humans, goblins, dwarves, and other high-level races with wisdom, as well as goblins, ogres or monsters, and the existence of the adventurer's union is a special collection of special collections to expel low-level monsters and obtain rewards.
