Chapter 14 Thorn City

Thorn City.

The largest city in the Blackwater Province, once the capital of the Blackwater Kingdom.

Located at the confluence of the Seber and Caffran rivers, it is the second largest port city in the Blackwater Province, with a continuous flow of merchant ship fleets between the Platinum Province and the Blackwater Province every day.

Not only is it developed in the shipping industry, Thorn City also has the highest quality silver ore veins in the entire continent. The annual sale of Refined Elementium Silver to wizards across the continent can accumulate enormous wealth for the city’s rulers.

The above geographical advantages have created the prosperity of Thorn City, but also because of the advantages of this blessed by heaven, the conspiracy and wars surrounding this city for thousands of years have never stopped. , so some people call this city the city of silver and blood.

At the top of the city, a giant dragon and a gold rose pattern are flying, the former being the emblem of the Riel Empire and the latter being the family crest of Duke Simon, the current ruler of Thorn City.

When entering the door, William and Liliana were stopped by the doorman. Liliana thought it was a routine to question their identities and was just about to show their documents. But didn’t expect the other party just took out a reward order with a portrait of a man.

“A bounty issued by Duke Simon himself, the thug Cass Durant, the former chief of the Blackthorn mercenary group. He has killed 27 innocent citizens. If you see this person, please report to the nearest guard immediately. Announcement.”

The Thorns Guard in black armor said to them solemnly.

“Killed 27 innocent citizens…”

Liliana was speechless all the way, but William didn’t pay much attention to the bounty, but looked around The scenery in the city.

Today’s Thorn City has changed a lot from what William remembered. The whole city has been widened by a large circle. The former moat has now become an inland river for transporting goods in the city, and the original curved city wall has also been changed to the bastion that I have seen in documentaries before.

Of course, the Rose Palace built at the highest point of the city has not changed much, but some city walls have been stained with a layer of green moss under the erosion of the years.

The biggest difference from William’s memory is that a tower with a very elf architectural style was erected not far from Rose Palace.

The entire tower is made of chalk stone, with constellation patterns outlined by active silver on the tower body, and the top of the tower shimmers with a deep magical brilliance.

Seeing William staring at the tower, Liliana introduced.

“Star Lighthouse, there are a total of twenty-four in the whole continent. They will be lit alternately according to the position of the constellation in different seasons, ensuring that there are thirteen lighthouses in operation at any time, to the greatest extent possible. Guide the magic of the Star Realm into the world, and this is the basis for the law of the stars to work.”

After speaking, she asked again as if she had remembered something.

“Wait a minute…you said you were coming to Thorn City to do business, didn’t you? You didn’t ask what you were going to do before, you wouldn’t really knock down this Star Lighthouse. Right?”

hearing this, the other party finally took his eyes back from the lighthouse, he looked towards Liliana.

“No, it’s not the time yet, I’m just here to investigate something, and to buy some Elemental Silver.”

Although Liliana said, “It’s not the time yet. “I was very concerned about this sentence, but when I heard that he was planning to buy Elemental Silver, he suddenly became interested.

“Is it source quality silver? My friend has a special channel, do you want me to help introduce it. How much do you want to buy? Buying more than 500 grams at a time will give you a discount.”

“About 15 tons.”

The expression on Liliana’s face froze.

“Do you know how much Elemental Silver is currently on the market for a gram?”

“I’m still a little rich.”

William relaxed say.

In the game, the gold coin is not counted in the backpack weight, so the money he earns is always on him. As there are fewer places where money needs to be used to reach the Late Stage of the game, and more and more rewards for receiving tasks, it seems that the number of gold coins is almost breaking through eight figures before it is about to be closed.

After crossing, the four-dimensional backpack in the game has become a portable space, as long as you use the spell of [Space Rift], you can open it and take out things from it. According to his estimation, if all the gold coins in his backpack were taken out, it would probably be enough to cover several football fields.

At this time, William suddenly realized a problem that had been overlooked before.

Can he still use the gold coins from a thousand years ago in his hands?

…………

Liliana looked at the gold coin he took out and said after a long silence.

“I really believe that you just woke up after sleeping for more than a thousand years… Don’t you know that paper money is used in the empire now?”

“Banknotes?”

William looked eerily at the shiny golden note that Liliana took out, which she called “Gold Riel,” with the denomination, number, and Riel Empire’s The dragon emblem even has a watermark that can be verified by refracting light.

He looked at the note, and then at the medieval city style around him.

“Why are you developing so fast in this area?”

And Liliana is playing with a gold coin brought from William, as an archaeology department. student, she could recognize at a glance that this was the official currency of the Kos Empire a thousand years ago. In the era of the gold standard, this gold coin was circulated across the continent.

“But for a coin that’s over a thousand years old, it looks too new and shows no signs of wear.”

“That means it won’t be on the black market. Good shot?”

“It’s not convenient to sell it as a cultural relic, and it will be suspected of fraud.”

Liliana said.

“And the sudden influx of hundreds of thousands of thousand-year-old coins into the market is too flamboyant.”

William added to himself, then said.

“Then if I melt gold coin into gold, what is the gold price equivalent to Riel?”

Liliana looked at him with a wastrel expression on her face.

“One to five, each gold Riel is equivalent to five grams of gold, but it’s too wasteful to sell cultural relics as gold.”

“It’s not going to be used anyway, it’s better Use the trash… by the way, where are you going next? Go back to Offa University?”

As soon as these words came out, Liliana’s mood went down again.

“I will go to the Adventurer Association to return the status tokens of those people, and then…”

Having said this, she realized what William meant.

“You don’t need me to continue as a guide?” William nods

.

“Whether you are going to the black market or other places, you are not very suitable for the past. Let’s break up here for now. I will visit Offa University later when the time comes. Goodbye. I’m done.”

As he turned to leave, Liliana stopped him behind him.

“Wait a minute, Mr. William…”

Seeing the other party turn around, Liliana didn’t know how to express her question for a moment.

“I guess you’re asking, can I tell you about you?”

William said, looking at her.

“I personally don’t recommend you speak out.”

“In order not to reveal your identity?”

Liliana asked.

“For your own safety.”
