Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 161 Drachma
"Will the drachma run out? Well, I haven't thought about it. But there are only 6666 veterans on the gold book who use the drachma, so they are very stable. In addition, the main problem with the drachma now is not the inventory, It’s how to import it. I said before that you can buy ice cream with a drachma, but you can only buy ice cream.”

"What does it mean?"

"It means that your drachma must be approved by those silhouettes, because they come from the era when the drachma small silver coins were actually in circulation. The drachma they recognized is the real drachma. So the whole system There are very limited ways to import drachmas in China."

"Wait, so besides buying ice cream and other daily consumption, are there other uses? Is it trade?"

"The drachma is a symbol of 'money' recognized by the spirit world, so it can indeed be used and traded. In addition, swords, gold cups, scepters and coins are used in divination. This coin refers to the drachma. Oh yes Alright, this is for you."

With that said, he took out another small wallet.

"This is a mission item for this time. It is regarded as the money allocated by the inner guards, 50 per person. If you encounter some creatures that can communicate, give them the coins."

Shangluo took the small wallet.Although there are 50 pieces, it is also very light.The size of each piece is only the size of a fingernail, about the size and thickness of a small copper plate for buying a subway ticket and five cents.But this is a high-purity silver coin, far less strong than a copper coin, and it seems that it can be bent with a little force.

There are also many traces of use on these drakes.Most of them are not perfectly round, and they will definitely get stuck in a vending machine.

He tried to grab one and weigh it, but it was too light to weigh at all.

"The weight of 1 drachma is converted into the current metric system, which is 4.37 grams. Because the drachma is originally a unit of weight, the silver coin of 1 drachma is so small. However, the value of the currency is not low. For ordinary spirits, you use a drachma You can buy it. Don’t give too much at once, or you will be targeted.”

"Eh? Buying an ice cream with a drachma, wouldn't it be a loss?"

"No, although it is an old taste, the original price is not that expensive. Now it is sold for 1 drachma, in fact, it is only because there is no way to change it, and we have not found a way to split the drachma."

"Is it because of this reason?"

"The specific reasons are complicated, but the main reason for the operation is this. The price of many things you buy in Alexandria is actually a drachma, and those things are not always the same price as ice cream. Well, don't worry too much. "

"Hey..." Shang Luo suddenly froze for a moment, "Please wait a moment."

He took the coin and went to the kitchen next door.Karin is doing the dishes - she doesn't have classes this Friday, so she's trying to do some chores around the house.

"Karin, look what this is!" Taking advantage of Karin's turning around, he stuffed a drachma into Karin's hand.

"It's money?" Before she looked down, she understood the meaning of what was in her hand.

Karin was also stunned for a moment—she has always experienced the world through her own sense of sight, touch, and hearing, but this coin gave her a clear feeling.

She can only be described as clear, because her feeling has never been so clear.Like a layer of glass, a layer of fog, there is always a thick barrier between her and the world, like touching the world through a diving suit.

This pathetic barrier made her know from the beginning that she was unusual, so that she couldn't even taste the soup.However, this coin gave her an extremely clear feeling, even far more complicated than the "touch".

"How, how do you feel?"

"It's a wonderful feeling. It's like... like I reached out from the glove, and I have a clear feeling. It's not even just a hand, there are more complex feelings than touch: exchange, security, pleasure, Choices. That's all I can express in words, but there seems to be other information beyond the words."

"Have you learned it before?"

"No. But I just do. Don't know why."

【That is the horizon of phlogiston.Before I didn't have the camera on this phone, I could only experience the world through that vision.But she doesn't seem to be able to adapt to this vision, because she has always regarded herself as the daughter of the Cassels.If she gets used to it, more information should be available.But. Is this the magic of elves? Sometimes it is really enviable. 】

"Are you envious too?"

[Don't forget, she has lived like this for 10 years and has grown up healthily.She is not just living in it, she is truly alive and recognized by the world.I also want to see the world in this way occasionally, but it's not bad on the phone, at least I don't have to walk by myself. 】

"It was so"

Shang Luo closed her hand: "If you don't mind, please accept this drachma."

"Can I really accept it? This seems to be very precious?"

"It's actually not that precious, but the news you provided is very precious. This is not a gift for you as Karin, but for yourself. Anyway, thank you. I don't know what you like, but I can only Here you go."

It's time to go.Riding the pickup truck that came, Mayor Kesso staggered and sent the crowd towards the sacred forest.

Out of the town is the intersection, where the statue of the three-phase god stands.

The stone statue has three faces, facing three directions of the intersection.All three hold the torch aloft with their right hands, but hold a book, a dagger, and a rope in their left hands.The three sides represent Luna, the god of the moon, Hecate, the god of the underworld, and Diana.This is what Shangluo has seen before, and now there is an identical one in Jinyiwei's basement.

The truck drove towards the side with the dagger, which symbolizes Diana.The temple in the sacred grove was originally dedicated to Diana.

"Say it." Seeing the stone statue, Shang Luo suddenly remembered another thing.He asked Apollonia:

"I remember I was in Alexandria and saw Helios' sun chariot. Does it know what happened here?"

[Of course he knows.And I think he also knows that Phaethon is in your hands now. 】

"Good guy, won't he settle accounts with me?"

[No, this is why the Romans trusted Helios.Mithras Helios is the sworn god of absolute justice, and it is only right to pay for his mistakes, even his children.Although he can sometimes appear too rigid, but he will certainly keep his promises.On the other hand, Phaethon, if this guy's heart was half like Helios, he wouldn't have suffered such a catastrophe.Of course, her catastrophe is your opportunity, and it seems that luck is conserved.It will run from one person to another. 】

"Everyone!" Suddenly, Titus pointed forward, "The sacred forest is ahead. Then according to the plan, everyone should get off at the predetermined place. Shangluo will get off first—do you remember how to get in?"

"Cypress trees. Go to the place where there are cypress trees, and you will be close to the forest king."

"Very well. Get ready. Let me open the box and say what's in here that big?"
