Chapter 54: Bragging
"It's back......"
"They're back......"
The surrounding civilians pointed at the returning adventurers, and the adventurers puffed up their chests and danced with their eyebrows when they chatted.
From time to time, they would touch the backpack on their backs, and it seemed that even the weight of the backpack on their shoulders could not reassure them.
It was impossible to carry the heavy gold ore in the backpack, even if they were born with divine power, they couldn't bring back so much ore, they chose some 'good quality' ores to carry with them, and the rest were pulled back by the trailer provided by the official.
They were only the first to come back, and because there was something urgent, or perhaps they couldn't wait, they gave up digging for gold – they couldn't wait to see the gold coins that 'belonged to them'.
I went to the mine for more than 20 days, and when I came back, I felt new to see everything, especially the city hall!
The old town had been renovated, and if it weren't for the familiar and unfamiliar gates, they would have wondered if they had come to the wrong place.
These more than 300 people, naturally, will not be trading in the city hall, the gold mine is still piled up in the warehouse, each ore is clearly divided, it is a few literate civil servants who went to the mine to help distinguish it, and they are all guarded by soldiers along the way, and no one can make any small moves.
It will also take a few days to count the ore, but the second batch of trailers has already departed, and although it is coming back in batches, it is estimated that the time between them will not be too long.
Adventurers also need to rest, they haven't had a good rest for nearly a month, sleeping in a tent naturally can't have a good rest, every day in addition to mining also needs to hunt and collect water, these more than twenty days, almost every adventurer can feel that their strength and endurance have grown considerably - including spellcasters!
But not only do they feel how hard it is, but how good it would be if they had more of it?
With more than 700 people at the beginning and more than 300 people later, it is naturally impossible for these more than 1,000 people to go to the mine together, and it is impossible for everyone to go down the mine every day.
But even if there is a rotation, these adventurers are very tired, and who makes them all just laymen? who don't know how to mine ore or how to save their physical strength.
In the eyes of professionals, what they did was extremely wasteful, and if the gold mine could have been mined for ten years, if they had done so, it would have been good to be able to mine it for seven or eight years.
Although they are guided by the dwarven 'mining masters', they are not professional miners after all, they are just a group of adventurers who have come to make money.
However, for the maid, this is harmless, the gold mined from the gold mines is just a by-product, and the coins are of high value on this continent, which is probably also related to the fact that the nobles always like to hide their coins in their own coffers instead of spending them.
The most basic way for civilians to trade is barter, and they probably only spend coins in shops that state that they can only use coins or that they can only use certain coins, such as taverns and inns.
At present, the most valuable coins on the continent are the gold coins of the Ogordon Empire, followed by the gold coins of the 'Fortune Holy City', and the value of the gold coins of the Kolo Kingdom is probably in the middle of the ranks.
Because of the different methods of making coins in different countries, the proportions taken are also different, and there is no place where gold coins are made of pure gold, and most of them are adulterated with other metals.
At present, the mainstream currency in the Grim Wind Territory is the 'Latinia' gold coin of the Fortune Holy City, because many merchants are from Gordon, and the Ogordon gold coin is more used by the Ogordon Empire itself, and rarely flows out, so the value is high.
The 'Gold Razel Coins' minted by the Kingdom of Kolo rose from King Krylov I, but now the Gold Razel coins have entered a period of decline, and their value is decreasing year by year.
It is unlikely that the Grim Wind Leader would be able to issue its own currency at this level of economy, but it would be able to save the value of the Rezel Gold Coins.
But it's a good hand and can't be played right now!
The maid industry can't be so undisciplined to deliver with Reezel gold coins, and the adventurer is not an idiot who doesn't understand the market, so the maid waved her hand - all the gold coins delivered were 'Latinia' gold coins.
She didn't ask these adventurers to remember the good of the Sad Wind Leader, she just wanted them to be able to mention the Sad Wind Leader when they were bragging about it in the tavern and others.
Perhaps in the eyes of the aristocracy, her behavior was extremely stupid, but in the eyes of small merchants and adventurers, the generous maid grew up to be no different from a 'goddess'.
There are even many people who worship the head maid as a true god!
Most of them are the lords of the Grim Wind Lord, there are small merchants and adventurers who have been favored, and there are also widows and orphans of warriors who died in battle to protect the Grim Wind Lord.
Because of the kindness and generosity of the head maid, she became a pillar in the hearts of some people and became their faith.
The adventurers who received the money from the civil servants did not sing the praises of the 'holy name' of the chief maid, but on many occasions they openly expressed their willingness to settle in the Tempest Realm if they could.
In this worse world, the existence of the Sad Wind Leader can be called a 'heresy', and the mere fact that 'basic education is guaranteed' can attract countless people.
And this is part of Serena's 'Tragic Wind Leader Development Plan'.
............
"Hey, friend, do you know the 'Battle of Silver Tide Harbor'?" a red-faced adventurer boasted in the tavern with a wine glass in hand, "I tell you, I have seen the legendary 'Iron Dragon' and 'Dragon Riding Mage'!
At this time, two adventurers, a man and a woman, also happened to walk into the tavern, and saw the adventurer who was boasting about his 'legendary experience', and the male adventurer whistled and quipped, "Yo, Jim, are you talking about your 'legendary experience' in the 'Battle of Silver Tide Harbor'?"
"No...... Yes!"
The drunk Jim shook his head, and then the person next to him coaxed and said, "Jim is saying that he knows the identity of the 'Iron Dragon' and the 'Dragon Master'!"
'Steel Dragon' and 'Dragon Mage' are two mysterious characters who appeared in the 'Battle of Silver Tide Harbor', and they showed their might in the battle, but they disappeared inexplicably after the battle, except for knowing that the 'Steel Dragon' is a black dragon with red dragon blood, and the 'Dragon Mage' is a female spellcaster, everyone said that they knew nothing about their other information.
Some people wondered if it was the demon who annoyed the black dragon, or if the powerful mage in the hidden world couldn't see it, so they took her 'pet' to the battle.
In short, there are different opinions!
But four years have passed, and no one continues to care about the true identities of the two mysterious combatants, anyway, there are more 'unknown' things in this world.
But Jim's words brought back memories for some.
There were a lot of people in the tavern who didn't know who the 'Iron Dragon' and the 'Dragon Mage' were, they were just making a fuss, and of course, there were also people who knew some information about the man and the dragon in Jim's boasting.
But there are also some who have heard of the deeds of that man and a dragon.
"'Iron Dragon'?" 'Dragon Mage'?"
The female adventurer laughed and said, "Don't say Jim, who here hasn't seen them?"
"Hey, Suana!" Jim called out to the adventurer with some displeasure, "I still want to make some money for drinking!"
After hearing Su Anna's words, one of the adventurers exclaimed, "It can't be the Duke and the maid, right?"
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the tavern.
Although the civilians drinking in the tavern didn't know what 'Iron Dragon' and 'Dragon Mage' were, it sounded like these two powerful titles, referring to their Duke and Maid Lord?
The adventurers returned to Wende City in the afternoon, and it was night, and there was more than one tavern in Wende City, but there were not many adventurers who came here to spend money today.
So it was only now that they knew that the 'legendary battle' that Jim boasted about had their Duke and Maid Lords active.
And it seems to be very powerful!
