Cosma Empire

The smell of gunpowder between the Empire and the Federation is getting stronger and stronger. According to fairly reliable sources, the border passage between the Empire and the Federation has been closed and all bilateral trade has been suspended. Except for a very small number of businessmen who are dissatisfied with this, most people still hold an affirmative and supportive attitude.

He wanted to take revenge a long time ago, but this time he finally had the opportunity, and the entire imperial society was actively planning an unprecedented victory to wash away the humiliation that the federation had brought to the empire.

The federation also acted very decisively. This time, Mr. Sail, who had been promoting the development of the matter, finally detached himself from the joint ruling group of the joint parliament, and issued a war mobilization order in a tone of master.

Seeing that the war was about to start, Du Lin was still continuing his journey. He has been restricted from entry by the Federation and some small countries, so the journey has become much shorter than planned. After receiving Natiya, the group continued to travel south and west.

It is worth mentioning that when he was in the Republic of Tolivia, Durin participated in a very famous auction and found a very interesting thing, a coin.

The coin does not look like the more common gold or silver coins, but more like an alloy, about the size of an egg. Around the obverse of the coin, there are some pretentious symbols. Inside, there is an upper body of a creature that looks like a dragon but not quite like a dragon. It is a bit abstract, but it looks ferocious. Even without any modification, the triangular eyes give people a sense of humor. The feeling of being stared at inexplicably. The reverse side of the coin does not have any known symbols or letters that represent numbers. There is a circle of complicated patterns without any rules and aesthetics. There is a pattern that looks like... in the pattern.

He didn't know why this world could actually see this character, but if he remembered correctly, this pattern was actually a kind of character, not the character of this world, but the character of the world in his dream—dragon!

That's what piqued his interest, and he's not sure he's right, but at this moment, he's tempted to buy this.

The auctioneer on the stage was introducing this coin, and it was also introduced in the auction brochure in Du Lin's hand, but no auctioneer said more in detail.

"This is a coin from before the Great Destruction. There are very few unearthed coins. From the first coin discovered in 1979, a total of six coins have been discovered around the world. This is the seventh coin." , the auctioneer looks very young, in his thirties, with decent appearance. In some large-scale auctions, it is rare to see older auctioneers. One reason is that the process of the auction is very long. If you are too old, you may not be able to persist, even if there are several breaks in the middle. Secondly, as people get older, their memory ability will decline, and it is difficult to recite the contents of the auction items verbatim.

Therefore, large auctions are often presided over by young people, and those older auctioneers either only preside over small auctions, or change themselves into experts with various titles sitting on the side, providing customers with a certain degree of Authentication service.

As the young people introduced the auction items, many people opened another booklet in their hands to record the contents of the auction. Of course, more people still chose to listen to the auctioneer.

"Some experts in the field of archaeology and world history agree that this is a non-circulating currency before the Great Destruction. It is more like a work of art, or something like a medal, issued by a high-ranking person. Rewards are given to the subordinates to express their appreciation. After many scholars and experts' research and speculation,

Eventually this coin became known as the 'Dragon Coin'. There are some records in some incomplete manuscripts from the Great Destruction period. There was once a monarch named "Dragon Emperor" who ruled a vast country. This was an evil monarch. In the end, he also perished because of his own madness. "

"This kind of coin is something like a medal that he bestowed on his subordinates to represent glory. So far, four of the first six dragon coins have disappeared, and one of the other two has been made into an ornament. It became a small toy of a certain big man. The other one was embedded in a ruler's scepter to set off a huge gemstone. We refer to the transaction price of the last dragon coin, combined with the current purchasing power of currency, the price Already listed in the manual."

"In addition to this, I also reveal a gossip here. It is said that every dragon coin hides a huge secret, which has a certain relationship with the disappeared Dragon Empire. If anyone can find the emperor's treasure, use It is no longer a joke that wealth buys the next country!"

The history of the world is basically recorded in detail since more than 100 years ago. Before that, there were not many detailed records. Even now, people don't know what the Great Destruction is. Why did so many once glorious civilizations suddenly meet with devastation, and why no complete written records of the period before the Great Destruction have survived. People's guesses about the Great Destruction now come from some incomplete manuscripts, plus some logical conjectures, to restore the advanced civilization that once existed in the past.

Many things have been destroyed, but some things have been preserved, and these things have become treasures in people's eyes. There are often reports about what kind of treasure a certain person found somewhere, and suddenly became wealthy, or that the treasure map of the Great Destruction period that a certain person spent a lot of money to buy is a fake, costing countless but Nothing was found.

The starting price of such a coin, converted into star dollars, is more than 61,000 yuan, not counting fractions.

Four currencies can be used for settlement here. In addition to the national currency and the star dollar, there are two other common local settlement currencies.

Du Lin raised his sign and offered a price of 100,000 stars.

Money is not an important thing to him now, it is just a series of numbers, and he is not willing to wait too long for a tiered quotation of 5% of the starting price, which is 3,000 yuan. First raise it to 100,000, and screen out some people who plan to fish in troubled waters.

The auctioneer didn't expect to get into the theme so soon. Before the auction started, the auction house would have a simple assessment of the commodities that participated in the auction. There were also some measures for what was easy to sell and what might be unsold. In their opinion, the dragon coin is a good thing, but it may fail to be sold. Even if someone participates in the auction, the price will not be too high.

It seems that this thing is very remarkable, sometimes it is something that represents a medal, sometimes it is something that belonged to the emperor before the Great Destruction, and sometimes it is also an object in the hands of big shots. After all, the value of this thing has not been accepted by people. Uncertain historical background and significance, without any current representativeness, and it is not an isolated product, and there is no side proof, the starting price of 60,000 star dollars may not be accepted by anyone.

Unexpectedly, someone raised a placard so soon and pushed the price to a very high level.

After the auctioneer preached for a while, no one followed, which made him drop the hammer with a little regret, and then the item was handed over to Du Lin. He started to play with this silver coin without wearing gloves. If he knew more languages ​​in the dream world, including hieroglyphics, then he would be able to find out from the messy patterns that these were actually words, and the meaning they represented was simple and plain --Lucky.

This is a lucky coin, not a dragon coin, and it is not a precious artwork held by an emperor, but it is also a priceless treasure, but no one knows what it is for.

"Do you know what it is for?" Natia looked at the coin in Du Lin's hand curiously. She began to understand Du Lin a little bit.

Inviting Du Lin to this auction was purely a formality. Du Lin came to participate just to watch the fun, but he took the initiative to participate in the auction, which showed that he was very optimistic about this thing, or knew what it was useful for.

Du Lin shook his head with a half-smile, and put the coin into his pocket. If there are big figures in the field of antiques, I'm afraid Du Lin's chances of buying any treasures in the future will be appallingly low, because he doesn't cherish antiques.

"I just bought it because I thought it was eye-catching and I liked it. There may not be any reason."

This is very un-Durin, at least Natia thinks so. Du Lin is unwilling to continue to delve into this issue, and she will not be boring herself. Later, Du Lin bought some precious "bloodline" jewelry, either from the royal family's collection, or from the royal palace. These things are very good to give away in the future. Not to mention the high price, there is enough historical background. With this background, money is no longer money, but fragrant banknotes.

After the auction, the president of the Republic of Tolivia gave Dulin some works of art in private, precious works of art, but they were given to Dulin as printed matter, and the reason is very simple. Durin has just signed a big contract with them with "his own money". The Republic of Tolivia has just achieved a republic, and it has only been a few years since it came out of a split state. This is exciting news for society as a whole. In addition to economic benefits, the authority of the government in society has also increased a lot.

At least people will recognize more that the current government is meaningful and beneficial to the whole society, and will continue to support the current government in power. Then some works of art that are not able to enhance the national strength of this "barbaric small country", it is better to give them to Du Lin as favors, and there may be other good projects to cooperate with in the future. During the whole gift-giving process, except that the curator of the National Art Museum of the Republic of Tolivia has been looking at Du Lin with a hostile look, everything is very satisfactory.

When Durin's trip to the southern continent was coming to an end, the war broke out!
