Son of the Olden Days

The currency circulation on this continent is mostly based on copper, with silver on the copper, gold on the silver, and longan and magic crystal on the gold.

Longan does not refer to the eyes of the dragon, it is just a metaphor.

The so-called longan refers to gems of various colors with similar colors. After a series of processes of cutting, polishing and polishing in the hands of gem craftsmen or jewelry craftsmen, products with similar specifications and volumes are formed.

Each longan has a lot of value, and even if it is taken out for appreciation alone, it is enough to be regarded as an excellent handicraft.

Magic crystal is a rare associated mineral that rarely appears around various mineral veins. The reason for its occurrence is unknown and there is no fixed place of origin.

In magic research, magic crystals have a wide range of uses. It is not only a magical material with good magical guiding ability, but also has many functions such as accelerating meditation and replenishing magical power for the wizards.

In the magic industry, it is said that magic crystals can often act as energy sources.

Because of their special and rarity, magic crystals and longan seldom participate in the currency circulation on the mainland, so the various transactions on the mainland are more mainly based on the use of gold, silver and copper.

However, in such remote places as Gray Screen Town, even gold is rare. Perhaps the major forces will hold a small amount in their hands, but it is almost impossible to see them in the market.

In terms of currency exchange, one hundred copper shields can be exchanged for one silver wolf, fifteen silver wolves can be exchanged for one golden eagle, thirty golden eagles can be exchanged for one magic crystal, and sixty golden eagles can be exchanged for one gem, or longan, between magic crystal and longan. The exchange rate is generally two to one.

Although the above exchange ratio is common in mainland China, it is not stable.

For example, in a gold mining town, the exchange ratio is twelve silver wolves and one golden eagle, but in a certain silver mining town, the ratio may change to eighteen silver wolves to one golden eagle.

It can be said that as long as you are lucky enough to mine a gold and silver mine and become a mine owner, then you can almost say that you have nothing to worry about in your life.

During the ancient kingdom, the old and new mineral veins in various places belonged to the national industry, and the coinage rights were firmly held in the hands of the royal family and important ministers. By the time of the Guangming calendar, the imperial power had declined, and the ownership of mineral veins and coinage had also changed owners, becoming the Holy See of Light or the Temple of Light.

Today in the dark calendar, because of the extreme limitations of the dark regions, the difficulty of trade and currency circulation and management among the various territories of the mainland has increased several times.

The Dark Council or the Dark Temple had to let go of the coin rights in their hands, and in turn encouraged the private mining of private mines, minted more private coins, and stimulated trade. Based on this, many villages and towns built along the mountain and built by mines have also emerged as the times require.

However, although the Dark Temple has let go of the coinage right in its hands, the bulk trade on the mainland is still dominated by temple gold coins.

Not only because the dark temple dominates the mainland, but also because of the fairness and justice of the temple's gold coins, there are almost no fake coins or too many other metals in the gold coins.

When the lords of the following territories mint coins privately, if you are happy, you can even cast your head on the coin, but if you dare to imitate the temple gold coins, once the black-robed law enforcement team arrives, the territories will be destroyed. .

Gray Screen Town, North District.

This is a grocery store that has been operating in Gray Screen for eight years since Delil took over from his father's generation.

On the street, people come and go, and connections gradually accumulate. This small shop is also well-known in the town.

At this moment, the owner Delier was standing lazily behind the counter, holding a piece of cloth in his hand, and occasionally raising his eyes to scan the pedestrians on the street, then continued to lower his head to wipe his beloved set of bone cups.

The overall space of this street-facing store is not small, but the back is partitioned for most of the living area, leaving only a small door connecting the front store.

The furnishings in the shop are very simple. Three storage cabinets stand against the wall on three walls. A long solid wood backed counter is on the side facing the street. Only one lifting board is left at the edge for entry and exit.

The space in the store maintains a sense of openness to the maximum. Only a low table and a high chair are placed. Guests on the street only need to stand behind the counter and scan it roughly to see the shelves. Different goods on display.

The so-called grocery store, as the name suggests, does not just sell one or a few kinds of goods, but has a little bit of everything.

In terms of food, dry products with long-lasting freshness are the main ones, fruit and vegetable wines are also available, and mushrooms and berries are also available.

For daily use, there are a few pieces of robes lined with linen shirts, gloves, long and short boots, and other types of oil, salt and needlework. There are even several hand axes, daggers and swords hanging on the masonry wall above the low cabinet on the front. There.

Four figures in hooded black robes appeared on the street, and then stopped behind the grocery store counter.

"Cough...cough, is there any medicine?" One of the figures approached the counter, making a hoarse and old voice, accompanied by coughing from time to time.

The shopkeeper Delil raised his eyes and glanced. The four people who arrived were of different heights. From the standpoint, it seemed that the old guy was the main one who asked the question before. The other three idiots who may be guards just bowed their heads and distributed them behind. With a sense of mystery.

Looking at the vocal old man again, De Lier's heart twitched fiercely in an instant, and then gradually returned to normal.

I don't know which grave the old monster crawled out of.

With the bright candlelight in the store, you can see the old man's face originally hidden under his hood.

The white hair withered and fluttered, the old and lifeless flesh and blood piled down on his face, the deep wrinkles were like gully in the swamp, only the eyes were still shining sharply.

However, he has been operating in the town for many years, and De Lier, a strange guest, has not never seen him.

He didn't answer the old man's question, just shook his chin to the side shelf.

Following his gaze, he could see that the potions of different colors were standing neatly on the small potion rack, but the number was not large.

"Price?" The old voice sounded again.

"Three silver coins, a bottle of healing potion comes with a bottle of antidote and insect repellent." De Lier replied.

The old man smiled secretly, apparently the price was a bit high, the usual selling price of three bottles of potion was at most two silver coins.

Moreover, the cost of three bottles of medicament, including the process, is only nearly one silver coin. It can be seen that the profit margin of medicament has always been considerable.

If calculated according to the normal living standard of a family of three in a small town, only six or seven silver coins per month can guarantee the quality of life with bread and vegetable soup and occasionally meat.

"Ah...cough, I only need medicine."

"Not for sale, the supply has been a bit tight recently, so I can only match it."

"Then I want ten copies at your price."

"Uh...this, not for the time being."

De Lier stopped the wiping action and glanced up at the old man. It was not that he did not want to do this business, but that he had only four bottles of healing potions left in his hand.

Today's therapeutic agents are very popular and are almost out of stock.

And De Lier knew very well that now there were only two towns in New Town and Dead Leaf Ridge in the entire territory, each with a pharmacist.

Gray screen town originally had it, but unfortunately, after a plague passed, Buddy Moore's old miscellaneous hair had disappeared.

Because of the restrictions on the collection of herbs in the surrounding areas, pharmacists in other towns can barely maintain the supply of their own towns, and there are very few surplus sources to expand trade, not to mention that the healing potions are originally a very large consumable.

Healing potions plus antidote and insect repellent are also standard equipment for an adventurer to enter the dark wilderness.

However, four or five bottles of antidote and insect repellent may have been used up by the end of the treatment, and there may not be a chance to open the seal. After all, those medicaments have their own use environment, but they don't dare not bring some in case of emergency.

Therefore, De Lier planned to use the last few bottles of therapeutic agents to make a wave of sales, and if the remaining stock of antidote was sent away, one bottle was counted as one bottle. This made it possible to buy three bottles together or not to sell them.

"You don't have one, but we do."

The wrinkles on the old man's face piled up an ugly smile, and he stretched out a chicken-foot-like hand, and the wide sleeves of his robe swept across the countertop, and then three bottles of healing potions appeared on the counter.

"What...what do you mean?" Delil's eyes trembled.

"I mean we can provide you with a continuous supply of goods."

Hearing what the other party was coming from, De Lier smiled contemptuously, took two steps back and sat down on the high chair, even cocked his legs.
