The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 135 The Horn of the Stag
It is a very courageous thing to challenge the strong in Faerun. If you fail, you will be regarded as an arrogant guy who is overwhelmed, so Tim will never do that kind of stupid thing that has no chance of winning, especially if the opponent is still A little girl whose hair hasn't fully grown yet, Tim is sure that if he really does something, it will definitely become the biggest joke in Silvermoon City.

But Mi Sha'er, who finally found a fun "game", didn't want to let it go: "No! Mi Sha'er disagrees! Mi Sha'er wants a duel!"

Tim's hairy face collapsed, and he said with "righteous spirit" and "righteous words": "Humph! I, Tim, am an upright halfling, how can I do such a thing of bullying children? Haha! How about you Just hack me to death, anyway, I, Tim, will never do it!" Said the halfling sitting on the ground with an appearance of being at your disposal.

The onlookers next to him all understood Tim's thoughts, and deliberately sneered and booed: "Tim! Get up and fight! Be like a man!"

"Haha! Shorty, do it again! This time she's a little girl, don't be discouraged! Show us the majesty of halflings!"

"Tim! Do it! How about I buy you a glass of rum if you win?"

When has the little girl seen such a rogue's method? She turned her face and looked at her brother aggrievedly: "William! He's playing tricks!"

William thought to himself: Although this guy is a little wretched, he still winks.He looked up and saw the Pegasus knights coming here from the air in the distance, obviously noticed the chaos here, William didn't want to meet the so-called "official figures" in this situation.He stepped forward and grabbed the halfling who was sitting on the ground and said, "Okay, let's get out of here first, the patrols are coming."

Tim hung in mid-air and said angrily, "Let go of Tim! Let me go! Otherwise Tim will be angry! Okay, okay, what do you guys want?"

William walked to a corner and put down the halfling and said, "You said your name is Tim? Well, Tim, tell me if there are any pubs and hotels nearby, we need a place to stay. Hmm! If it satisfies me "William said, took out a few gold coins and spread them on the palm of his hand, "The money is yours." William got the money from selling leather and other things in Mirabar, not Santilla put it in the ring , the styles of the two are not the same.

Tim glanced at the gold coin and said, "Hey, it's just a coin privately minted by the former Mirabar City Lord. It's not easy to use here. If you are sincere, why not buy me a drink."

Since countries and city-states in various parts of Faerun stand side by side, the situation is complicated and chaotic, and there is no unified political body. Therefore, the currencies in various places are also messy and difficult to circulate. The currency in one area is basically like scrap iron in another area.Gold is not very precious here, but it is easy to cast and preserve, wear-resistant, and is very popular with dragons (which involves some secrets of the dragon clan), so it has become the main material for coinage.

In Faerun, there is really a kind of gold coin that is unanimously recognized by all forces, including the gods of the heavens and the demons of the abyss. That is the magic gold coin handed down from ancient Netheril. Some people say that this kind of gold coin rose in Netheril. It existed before, but later the alchemists of Netheril cracked its formula and re-mastered the casting method of this gold coin (it seems to be lost again now).This kind of gold coin with a special formula has many uses. No one knows how many Netheril ancient gold coins have been handed down, but it is said that it is more than enough to buy the entire main plane.

In addition to using various physical treasures as wealth, almost all countries use this kind of ancient coins as the state treasury's pressure warehouse, and only a small part of them are actually circulated on the market.However, every year, adventurers unearth treasures in various adventures such as exploring ruins, and a large number of ancient gold coins flow into the market. Although most of them will be secretly collected by some forces, there will still be many ancient gold coins. Private collections, as they are, after all, real hard currency.

Although William doesn't know much about this aspect due to inertial thinking (people on earth only recognize gold?), but this does not prevent him from becoming a real rich man, because someone has already prepared everything for him.

Tim moved his short legs quickly, as if a vat of high-quality rum was waiting for him in front of him, Tim shouted while running: "Hey! Big guys! You are the first Going out for the first time? Haha! Tim can guess right! Don’t deny it, you can’t fool the experienced halfling Tim, no one will use Mirabar’s money in Silvermoon City, you know Mirabar and The relationship between Silvermoon City has never been very good." The relationship between the former Mirabar and any city in the Northland was not good, and the mining city, which has changed its leader, has now begun to seek allies, but none of these It is carried out in secret, but it is difficult for ordinary people to know.

"You must know that only magic gold (ancient gold coins) are really useful guys, yes! Magic gold! Do you rookies know magic gold? Haha! I guess you don't know either!" Tim led William and the others Go to a house with many huge elk antlers hanging outside, and there is cheerful and strange music playing inside: "Haha! The horns of the stag, the best pub in Silvermoon City, here has the purest rum! Ah! Lang The scent of rum, Old Tim can't wait."

"Hi! Milner! A big glass of the best rum! Ask for the biggest glass! Another eel pie!" Walking into the carved wooden door, Tim couldn't wait to greet the waiter loudly.The waiter Milner heard the familiar shout and turned his head and responded loudly: "Oh! Tim, you rascal dwarf, bearded goat, come here to cheat and drink again." When William and Yasuna's mother and daughter walked in, they immediately stopped talking. People with outstanding figures always attract attention, especially in this world where power is the most important thing.

Three tall guys entered the arena, and the waiter Milner immediately lowered his voice. Many adventurers have bad tempers. Although this is Silvermoon City, which is famous for its peace, fights are also inevitable, Milner You don't want to be beaten up by a customer who throws a tantrum.He glared at the halfling with a sullen friendliness, and hurriedly ran up to them and led William and the others to an empty wooden table. What can I do for you? Rum or gin?"

William put Misha down, and took a look at the environment of the tavern. The walls were covered with paintings of elk antlers and other decorations, as well as many strange slogans and lanterns, heavy tables and benches made of pine, and many wooden cut-off logs. The pier is used as a chair, and of course there are some chairs with backrests placed in the corners.Although there are quite a few empty tables, there are not too few customers at this time. Many people are tapping on the tables or other places to the beat of a few elf musicians, and there are a few more interested guests who are Do a quick dance.

Yasuna and Finia watched the performances of the drinkers with great interest, and Misha even climbed onto the table to see better. These novel things made them feel fresh.William looked at the three of them and said gently to Milner, "Do you have any juices?"

Milner replied with a smile: "We have freshly squeezed lettuce juice and cellared strawberry stuffed, which is a low-strength fruit wine that children can drink, as well as the best honey wine and snake fruit wine. "

William nodded and said, "Yes! A big glass of freshly squeezed lettuce juice, add more honey. And a barrel of low-strength fruit wine, just made from strawberries."

Tim next to him was not happy: "Rum! Tim's rum! Big man, you promised to buy Tim a barrel of the best rum!" barrel up.

William smiled and said, "I can't forget you! Mr. Milner, give this Tim a big glass of rum, just as he said."

The waiter Milner bowed and said: "Sir, you can just call me Milner directly. Excuse me, sir, do you want to order something else? We have special venison steak, eel pie with unique flavor, and special products of Ruiwen River Baked river crab in the shell, authentic smoked sausages, a variety of fragrant breads and the famous Silvermoon nut cheese.”
