Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 37—Sullivan Gold Coin

Claude spent more than an hour in the spring water pool not far from the site to clean himself. Fortunately, his backpack also brought another set of clothes, as well as underwear socks, which was originally replaced when he was ready to launch. Although it was a little cold at the end of May, Claude considered it more thoughtfully, and brought the prepared clothes just in case, just go to Bailuzhou by boat, and no one would say if he would disembark to go swimming...

The dirty clothes that were replaced were simply rinsed with spring water, and the mud stuck on it was washed away. As for the smudges on the clothes, you can take them home and let the mother find a laundry lady to wash. There is no need to clean and dry at the barren hills.

After Claude cleaned himself and changed his clothes, Verikoro and Bocker, Eriksson had already stripped the big python and peeled the python and python bands. The camp was aired and ready to let the sea breeze blow for one night.

The rest of the python meat, according to Claude's request, cut a large piece from the back to prepare for dinner, the rest of the python meat was picked by Verricko, some good cut strip shape wiped salt, also hung in The wooden shelves were prepared for bacon at night, as well as snakes and a pair of snake eyes. They were carefully picked up by Verricko and packed into empty bottles. He said that this is a valuable medicine, and the pharmacy is happy to buy it at a high price.

Both Bokal and Eriksson did not do anything. They asked Verricko to pull out the two sharp fangs in his mouth. After cleaning, one person was divided. The old man in Bailu Town said that the teeth wearing the snake can effectively resist the plague. Although this is a folk rumor, Bok Al and Eriksson are now convinced.

The dark blue night is starry.

Under the night, four teenagers were eating a big meat meal around the fiery bonfire.

"I never knew that the python meat was so delicious and tender..." Bokal ate his mouth full of oil: "It's so delicious, Claude you are awesome..."

"I forgot one thing." Claude said, then came to the backpack he brought and took two bottles of kale from his backpack: "In fact, when I fry, I should pour the wine up, it is more fragrant. Better to eat."

"Ha... Ganlan?" Bock Alpine can't help: "What do you bring? This is really an unexpected surprise..."

"Well," Crowd nodded. "My father gave me a Riazor. I think there is nothing to buy. I bought two bottles of kale and brought them to you. But drink this and pay attention to it. It is easy to have a headache when drinking too much."

In fact, after Claude took a silver Talley and a Riazor that his father gave, he wanted to hand over to Bokal. But when I thought about the debt, it was a silver taylor, and I felt sorry for the fact that I had paid the money and owed two rias. It is better to wait until the Egret Island has been harvested and then return it all at once. So Claude didn't pay back. I thought that my three partners would have liked to buy Ganlan. Later, the money borrowed no money to buy wine, and simply bought two bottles and brought them to the past.

Without a cup, everyone also used a wooden plate as a tableware, so the four people took a sip at the bottle and transferred it to the next person.

"Right, Ike, forgot to say something." Claude found the fire rope and handed it to Eriksson: "I am sorry, your short hair was bitten by the python when fighting with the python. A hole, you see it here, please tell me how much repair cost you need after returning, let me pay."

Eriksson’s eyes straightened: “Here, how was a hole bitten here? Claude, how did you kill this big python...”

"It’s all because of your shortness..." Crowd exclaimed: "At that time, the python had entangled me. I was planted in the mud. I couldn’t catch the python. It was all The mud was too slippery. Seeing that the python opened his mouth and rushed to me, I had to use this short shackle in front of my eyes. I didn't expect the python to bite on the short scorpion.

...... Fortunately, it bite on the short squat, I also learned that it bit the hole in the gun, and the short shackles stuck in its mouth. I was holding my short hair, and it was desperately shaking his head, trying to get rid of the short scorpion from its mouth. At that time, the snake head was only one arm away from me, and it was shaking there. If I didn’t stick my fingers in the trigger buckle, I might have let it go.

In a critical moment, I saw a torch on the pile of shrubs next to me. I tried to reach out and take it. When I got it, I put the torch on the short. God of War bless, the fire rope on the short scorpion was finally ignited. When I saw the fire rope had arrived at the pill box, I slammed the smashing machine and slammed it. The python struggled for a while and finally did not move. I took off my body and pulled the short shackles from the snake's teeth and climbed up the rope ladder. When I climbed out of the underground entrance, I finally took a break. Then I reloaded the gun and shot at you, and then you came back..."

After listening to Crowder’s life and death experience with the python, the partners were silent. They can imagine how dangerous the scene is at that moment, and with a little mistake, it is very likely that Claude will never be seen again.

"It's all my fault..." Verricko finally opened his mouth after a while: "I am too big, because I have been with my father twice in winter, so I think there is no danger in this site. It’s okay for Lord to stay here alone. I forgot that when it’s spring-summer communication, the python needs to hibernate in winter, but now it’s active. If Claude didn’t kill it, then Maybe we will be attacked by it this evening. This site is actually its predator..."

"What do you mean by saying that this site is actually the site of this big python?" asked Bok Al.

"Yes, in fact, if we carefully come over, we should be able to find some signs. For example, how can there be no snake squirrel activity in this ruin? What can be seen is the gravel pile where several seabirds are falling over there. This site is so large but there is no seabird to settle down. This is very suspicious. But my mind is still the impression of winter. At that time, it was covered with snow and there was no life. It is taken for granted that it is now... "Vericro has some annoyed answer."

"This doesn't blame you." Claude laughed. "The matter is over. The big python is dead. I haven't been hurt. It has made us get a very good harvest. I only blame Boa for wanting me." Drinking the bottle of antidote, and saying that the body is not hurt does not mean that it is not poisoned. It is good to say that drinking is preventive. Do you know how difficult it is to drink the antidote? It tastes too strange, bitter, spicy and embarrassing. My tongue is numb."

"Drinking insurance points, Boa did it right," Eriksson said. He took out the python tooth that he had assigned and inserted it in the hole of the short butt. He whistled: "Cool, Claude, I don't need any repair fees. You actually have this. The fangs are enough to compensate. You see, this fang is so stable on the butt, go back and tell others that the hole in the gun is bitten by this tooth, see who else dare not believe ""

Verricko took a look and said: "You and Boa two, it is best to throw the two teeth into the pot for about an hour. Although you have been washed with water, but no one can guarantee that this tooth is inside If you don't have poison, it's more safe to cook with water. Otherwise, if you accidentally scratch the skin while taking it, it is really troublesome."

Verricko’s words were very reasonable. Both Bokal and Eriksson were good at it, and immediately they were going to cook the two pythons and fangs.

After they both sat down, Claude and Verizro had dried the smoked python.

"Right, Boa, I have something to ask you." Claude said: "When you saw the Sullivan gold coin in the afternoon, it was a pity that it was not a magic Sullivan gold coin. What does that mean? Gold coins and magic are not magic. Is it divided?"

Bok Al nodded: "Do you know how the earliest gold coins appeared? Who made them?"

"I don't know..." Claude originally wanted to say that it should be made by mold. In the past, I saw video on the computer that the ancient gold coin was made from clay, and then the molten gold solution was poured into the mold. After cooling, the clay mold is broken. Finally, the gold coin is trimmed to complete the manufacture of a gold coin. It takes time and labor, and each gold coin has a little difference, because it is impossible for two clay molds to be made exactly the same...

But think about this is a different world, so Claude still honestly admits that he does not know.

"It is said that the earliest gold coins were made by magicians more than 4,000 years ago." Bocker said: "Don't look at me, this is a record on the coin. It is said that people at that time used to be barter, this gives magicians The material trade caused a lot of trouble. Later, a magician used a precious dark gold to make a small round cake as an equivalent to trade between magicians.

But Dark Gold is a magical material, the output is not high, so the magicians use gold and add a gram of dark gold to make gold coins. The pattern is the magician in the cloak, the name of the magician who made the dark gold cake. To name it, this is the magic Sullivan gold coin.

Because this magic Sullivan gold coin contains one gram of dark gold, so many magicians get this gold coin and melt it to extract dark gold as a material for magic experiments, so that this magic Sullivan gold coin is getting less and less. It is said that so far only the Hicks Kingdom in the northern part of the mainland has preserved one and is regarded as a national treasure.

The earliest gold coins were all cast by magicians. They used alchemy to easily and accurately cast an identical magic Sullivan gold coin. As long as they have dark gold and cast as much as they want, anyone can cast.

However, as the magic material gradually became scarce, its price began to rise, and the mining of dark gold became more and more difficult. The magicians were reluctant to cast dark gold into the gold coin. So more than two thousand years ago, gold coins without dark gold appeared, also known as Sullivan gold coins, but there was no magic word. At that time, a magic Sullivan gold coin can be exchanged for dozens or even hundreds of Sullivan coins.

The emergence of Sullivan gold coins soon entered the trading market of ordinary people by the world of magicians. It was popular among the magic aristocrats at first, but it quickly spread to all parts of the mainland. Almost all large transactions use Sullivan. Gold coins to settle.

But at that time all the gold coins were cast by the magician through alchemy to ensure the exact gold content of each gold coin, which became an unbearable burden for the magician. They were not willing to spend magic and alchemy. Materials to make these mortal gold coins. So I came up with a way to make seven sets of gold coins and hand them to seven magical nobles, so that they can cast gold coins for mortals.

That is to say, these seven sets of gold coin molds have inspired ordinary people, so silver coins and copper coins have also appeared, perfecting the three high, medium and low value systems of the entire market currency. However, because the seven gold coins were awarded by the magician, in the era of the dark calendar, the gold coins circulating in the mainland are also the seven patterns. Instead, there are various changes and choices in the patterns of silver and copper coins.

The coin said that there were only seven kinds of gold coins, one hundred and forty-three silver coins, and more than eight hundred patterns of copper coins. Basically, every aristocrat who owns a copper mine, merchants will cast a pattern of copper coins on their own in the market, which brings great difficulties to the exchange of currency.

It was not until the establishment of the Armstrong dynasty that the types of gold coins began to increase. After the disputes and independence of the countries and the formation of the current mainland pattern, countries gradually realized the importance of the money market, and they all turned the coinage rights into the national treasury and standardized their respective The gold, silver and copper currencies stabilize the domestic financial market order.

The magician handed the seven sets of gold coins to the magical aristocrats. The pattern was seven plants and animals. The Sullivan gold coin is a special gold coin for the magician, which is specially cast by the magician using alchemy. Among the gold coins, the Sullivan gold coin has a higher status and is known as the king of the gold coins.

After the establishment of the Armstrong dynasty, Emperor Regus O. Hill ordered the ban on the Sullivan gold coin in the Faurea continent, and found that all melted and recast into other gold coins. The ban is still valid now. The same is true of the kingdom, and even Sullivan gold coins are becoming scarcer.

So, Claude, the Sullivan gold coins you have found are best served as private collections, not outside. ”
