People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 364 Neverwinter City, the Scorching Sun Contest
When the sun set to the west again, reflecting the entire sea surface into a dim yellow, the majestic Neverwinter City finally appeared in front of everyone.

Along the way, apart from a group of goblins without eyes and a few ogres brought in because of Trish, the team didn't encounter any other monsters.

Such an evil creature doesn't need Tang Sen's action at all, and the experienced adventure team can easily deal with it.

"Welcome to Neverwinter!" The rogue said excitedly: "Although this adventure did not achieve the expected results, at least we got to know Mr. Tang Sen, a spellcaster from another world. I think, this Reason enough for everyone to go to the tavern and get drunk."

"We can go to the Moonlight Mask!" Mr. Dwarf Alvin's eyes lit up: "Or the Shining Snake Hotel and the Fallen Tower Tavern."

"I heard that in the Fallen Tower, you can find all kinds of adventurers. I mean, according to the stories I heard, many legendary adventurers would go there for a drink, including—"

The dwarf started chattering again, but everyone along the way had gotten used to his inability to keep his mouth shut, so they simply ignored him and started talking on their own.

"The consumption in those places is too expensive." The wanderer showed a embarrassed look: "I recommend the Three Bears Tavern, the price is affordable, and I know the boss very well, so I can get a discount."

"I'm quite curious about the Moonlight Mask." Trish said, "I heard it's a floating hotel."

"That's right, a hotel suspended over the commercial district, they will use special floating boats to pick up and drop off guests, and if you have a distinguished status, they even have a magic flying carpet." The wanderer introduced: "Of course, these services It’s not free, even if it’s just sending a few of us up there, the money we need to spend is enough for us to get drunk for several days in the Three Bears Tavern!”

"I treat you!" Trish said without hesitation.

"This is the best news I've heard today!" Bain smiled all of a sudden, "I knew it was the right choice to let you join the team!"

He didn't mention his complaints every time the caster recklessly started monsters, and said excitedly: "I heard that the banquet hall of the Moonlight Mask can even eat food from the continent of Karatu!"

"Of course." The wanderer said, "As long as you have enough money, I mean, the bread there costs two dragon coins!"

He showed an exaggerated expression: "A piece of bread is worth as much as gold. I really don't know who would eat this thing."

"Of course, those nobles and big businessmen." Bain shrugged: "They are not short of money, and a little leak from their hands is enough for us poor adventurers to fight with our lives for a long time."

Trish tilted her head and said, "But if we can find a dragon's lair, wouldn't we be able to have wealth far superior to theirs?"

Bahn: "You're right, but it doesn't need to be so troublesome. It's faster to rob Neverwinter, anyway, the difficulty is about the same."

"I don't quite agree with this. Robbery is immoral," the monk reminded.

"I'm kidding!" Bane yelled.

In short, during the fight, the gate of Neverwinter had already stood in front of everyone. This was one of the four gates of Neverwinter, leading directly to the most prosperous area of ​​Neverwinter, the guardian enclave.

Looking up, everyone could already see all the towering buildings protruding from behind the city wall. The wanderer, as a local snake, explained very familiarly: "That is Madam Jillian's mage tower. She is a powerful mage who specializes in transformation. .”

"Over there is Tyr's temple, the Hall of Justice."

"Of course, you can still see Neverwinter Castle, which used to be the residence of Lord Neverember. Of course, it now belongs to the new Lord of Neverwinter, Fudge."

"Foch?" Tang Sen raised his eyebrows slightly.

"That's right." The rogue said: "Although I don't like him very much, many people think that he has brought a new atmosphere to Neverwinter. For example, he plans to resume the Scorching Sun Competition."

"Scorching sun competition?" The monk frowned: "That cruel competition?"

"That's right." The rogue said: "If you are interested, I can still get tickets, but hurry up, if I remember correctly, the day after tomorrow is the time for the Sun Contest."

"What game? How cruel?" Trish asked curiously.

"It is to let some adventurers be chased and killed by various monsters until the final winner is born." Bain said without interest: "It's just entertainment for the big shots."

"I want to participate!" Trish's eyes lit up.

"I don't think this is a good idea." It wasn't Bahne who said this, but Tang Sen, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "Maybe, in the Liege Competition, some unpleasant things will happen. things."

The name Fuch and the scorching sun competition reminded him of some related plots.

Of course, Tang Sen doesn't intend to participate in these plots. His main goal now is to find the Netheril ruins.

"It's our turn to enter the city." The wanderer interrupted everyone's topic, "Don't forget to prepare the entrance fee. I don't usually enter through the southwest gate. The other gates don't need to pay an extra five points."

"Of course, I have already prepared for Mr. Townsend's entrance fee for you. This is just a trivial thought."

Jianer is a slang term. People in Waterdeep City and Neverwinter City habitually call the copper coins they issue as Jianer, while the silver coins are called broken pieces, the silver and gold coins are called sambars, and the gold coins are called dragons. coins, and the most valuable platinum coin is called the sun.

The currency system in the world of Faerun is relatively complicated. Every powerful city-state and kingdom will issue its own currency, and each country has a unique name for its own currency. Of course, currency is always based on precious metals, that is, copper coins, coins , a system of silver gold coins, gold coins and platinum coins.

All four currencies are friendly decimals, except that one gold coin is equal to two silver gold coins.

Of course, the currencies of various countries and city-states also have different conversion ratios when they are in circulation, which is a more complicated matter. Usually, except for merchants, few people will specialize in this area of ​​knowledge.

Gold coins, that is, dragon coins, have a strong spending power. In Neverwinter, a loaf of bread only costs two copper coins, a mug of ale only costs four copper coins, and a piece of cheese costs one silver coin. For the frugal commoners, You can live comfortably on two silver coins a day.

Of course, for adventurers, the expenditure is far more than that. The price of an ordinary dagger has reached two dragon coins, and heavy weapons such as battle axes or chain flails are more expensive, requiring ten dragon coins. The price of the armor is outrageously exaggerated, and the price of a set of excellent full-body plate armor can reach [-] dragon coins.

And this is just equipment without magic power attached. The price of those magic potions, magic scrolls and even magic equipment is not cheap.

That's why so many people want to become adventurers, because maybe a successful adventure, even if they only get one or two pieces of magic equipment or some books that record precious knowledge, can make them earn money that civilians can't imagine in their entire lives. wealth.

Of course, the ending of most adventurers is to go bankrupt and prepare their outfits, and then throw their lives on the wasteland, and their property becomes the collection of goblins or ogres.
