Old Sword Master

Nita wanted to say something, but in the end he just said, “I want to go back to church and ask for a leave. Be careful. I think that Parong has bad intentions.”

Being attacked by Burberry pirates is a painful but common thing on Crete. Of course, church holidays will not be cancelled, but it should be possible to give helpers who have lost their families a day off.

“You go first.” Wood waved goodbye to her. “If it’s not good to ask for leave, it’s all, and the father may not be able to come back.”

But if you insist on working, you may be able to make the priest notice Nita. After all, there is no funeral.

This is very good for her. Compared to Wood, Nita is obviously very talented. With the sporadic learning opportunities she got as a helper in the church, she has learned Latin and more than half of Greek.

The innate talent of language often reflects intelligence, so Wood has always felt that he wasted resources and I am very sorry for Nita, she may be promising.

However, the old Ventus does not think this is a good way. Although the income is very good, it is too dangerous. Only the mage from the big aristocrats and rich merchants can cultivate mage while maintaining their minds. It is difficult for the small aristocrats and middle-class citizens to maintain a balance. Even if they have a family background like this, they have to worry about her going crazy. 2

Ventus would rather have a daughter who can marry peacefully, than a mage Young Lady who can make a lot of money temporarily but is under great pressure.

Nita tightly frowns, still worrying about something.

“Don’t worry.” Wood gave her a hug and said lightly in his ear, “With me, I must be a Level 1 fighter now. I can find a job.”

“Find a job on land, don’t go to sea.” Nita told Wood.

“En.” Wood waved, “Thank you for the strawberry pie.”

“Don’t find a job to go to sea.” Nita asked again.

The two people who had just lost their father broke up and didn’t even have time to mourn. Although they had just experienced the Burberry pirate attack, there was no special sadness in Gandia City. When Wood just entered the city, he paid a small silver coin for the entrance tax. Well, there is no time to grieve. If you don’t want to starve to death before being captured or killed by pirates, you have to grit your teeth and work. This is the life of Gandia residents in the 2th century.

“Let’s go, I told you not very hopeful.” After seeing Wood and Nita bid farewell, Bassano said to Wood, “Go to the blacksmith’s shop and then to the grocery store in Donmara to exchange all the miscellaneous coins you seized today. Better silver coins, tomorrow Kelby should come to collect debts.”

Bassano is a friend of Wood father Ventus. His grandfather was an immigrant from Venice. He used to discuss life with Ventus at sea, but after seeing too many companions to row the Ottomans, he decided to go ashore and joined the Italian gang on the dock. , Because there is a Level 2 fighter level, so you can live a more comfortable life, but like the sea, the living space on land is also limited, in a battle for turf, he was crippled, and then only The people on the pier do some work of moving goods and breaking fish, but fortunately, they can survive if they have a soldier-level disability. 1

He helped Ventus in the past when he was in the Italian community and always arranged a better berth for him. Later, he was disabled. When Ventus’s boat came back, he would always let him carry the catch, no matter how slowly he moved. In addition to the salary, a fish was left for him.

Wood and Bassano walked boringly for a while, and Wood said, “You’re right, Uncle Bassano, I should have gone to work earlier.”

In the past, Bassano had always opposed the old Ventus always struggling for life at sea, and also opposed Wood’s constant desire to become a formal fighter. 1

“What’s the point of saying this now!” Bassano said fiercely. He saw Wood’s performance in fighting the pirates. “Fortunately, you should finally become a Level 1 fighter now. Be a low-key man. Don’t make trouble like me. It’s serious to take good care of your younger sister. The cavalry team is not to be trifled with. The Coast Guard is too dangerous. It’s best to find a road transport job. Don’t learn from your father being at sea all day. The ending is long predestined.”

Wood can only be silent.

They went to the blacksmith shop together and asked about the purchase price of broken guns, scimitars, and leather armor. Then they went to Donmara’s grocery store and thought it was a small shop. In fact, it was a large-scale shop in Gandia City. In the shop, Donmara is a very powerful mage. The grocery store under her name actually sells a variety of spell-casting materials, tranquilizers, and nutrients. The upgrade potion Wood has eaten worth 20 talers can be considered a special In most cases, soldiers with official ranks have to eat and drink. If you want to improve your chances of promotion, you must eat nutrients that your body can absorb more easily. This requires mage and druids to produce .

The shop under the name of Donmara also operates a currency exchange business. Today, Wood seized a lot of bad coins with varying amounts of silver. It was easy to be squeezed by Kelby when repaying debts, so he needed to look for Donmara with a better reputation.

Although you have to pay a small silver coin to enter the city, it is much more reliable than ordinary vendors outside the city.

A fat apprentice sitting behind the counter, one by one but quickly checked the small bag of coins that Wood took out, and then said: “One taler plus 56 small pulls.”

This number surprised Wood. He thought it should be a small Gold Coin that Wood didn’t notice. Among the pirates’ coins was a small Gold Coin! And this honest apprentice picked it out.

The handling fee should be 2 small pulls, but Wood did not ask, so the heartache will be less.

Tale is a half-double silver coin as mentioned above. Spain, Austria or Ottoman Tale in Crete basically have a silver content of more than 2%. This high-quality coin is of good quality in the three major countries. , But the quality of the small coins is uneven. The most reliable one is the Austrian Duchy minted, a small fingernail-sized silver coin engraved with Regent Ladislaus. Five years ago, the Regent Ladislaus and A powerful druid known as the invisible lion spent a few hundred thousand together. Thale pleased the Lord of the Earth Element Valley Ramba, and built a land bridge between Venice and the mainland. Then the Austrian soldiers went to the island of Venice. The Mediterranean power of the Republic of Venice is already In name only. Although the Austrian Regency still maintains the name of the Republic, the island of Venice is now completely part of the Great Duchy of Austria. As a result, the overseas territories of the Republic of Venice, Crete and Cyprus have been Declaring independence, of course, the former is actually dependent on Spain, otherwise there would be no Inquisitor sent by Spain on Crete. 80

Although the overseas territories are not available, the Austrian Duchy obtained the highest level of coinage technology in the Mediterranean that used to belong to the Venetian Republic.

And this fingernail-sized silver coin is mathematically very convenient.

Ladislaus controls the silver content so that 100 such small silver coins are exactly equal to one taler. This integer value is very convenient for everyone to use, especially the illiterate who is illiterate. The number of hands is ten, and the ten is 100. Conducive to promotion. 1

Thale is a currency that is too large for civilians. This small silver coin has a much larger daily range. In the past, Ventus’s salary was also paid with this small silver coin. Although the Cretans generally expressed concern about the demise of Venice. The Austrian regency who made them become orphans in the Mediterranean is very disgusted, but everyone still loves this reliable and convenient silver coin, which is affectionately called Xiaola.

Wood lightly spinning a small silver coin, and the particularly fat taler. This is the first time he has earned a taler in his life. If it weren’t for father whereabouts unknown, this would be a good thing to celebrate with a good wine. . 1

Wood took a look at the cheapest wines on the shelves. Ten small pulls and pots were cheaper in the grocery store in Donmara, but much more expensive than the inferior wines offered by vendors outside the city. In the Mediterranean, wine is not considered a luxury.

There are 150 small silver coins per month and 120 catties of bread of reasonable quality. As a senior seaman who manages a small fishing boat, Ventus’ salary is half higher than that of most Level 1 fighters.

If it is not to provide Wood fighter-level food, this salary can feed 3 people, and even donate a little more to the church. Nita does not need to work 6 days a week, only half a day can learn, and innate talent is also necessary There is enough time to learn spell.

Wood thought of this and glanced at the busy fat apprentice. Although he also has to work in the Teacher’s shop, and his responsibilities are not small, it is not as easy as being a maid, but metal valuation is better than Nita’s maid job for mage. Development is more valuable. 1

Wood and Bassano also had a leather armor and a broken gun and a scimitar. Donmara’s grocery store bid was no lower than the blacksmith shop. The scimitar sold a taler, and the broken gun was only worth 22 small pulls.

Wood has a total of 2 talers and 78 small pullers. Then they went out of the city together. There is no need to live in the hotel in the city. Bassano has a place to live in the fishing pier. The shanty town has a complex terrain and pirates will not be easy. Go in and arrest people.

Wood hesitated to sell the leather armor for a half-taler. Bassano said, “Keep it here. After all, no matter where you go to work, it’s always good to have body armor. Although leather armor is light armor, it’s good for warriors. Heavier armor is good, but leather armor might save lives.”

“Except for tomorrow’s interest, donate other donations to the younger sister’s church.” Wood said.

“Hmph, what interest do you want? Give the magic book to Kelby sooner.” Bassano sneered, “Not only is your family’s shirtless money, but your house is almost gone! Today you will lose the fishing boat. That’s all, that ship that escorted the second-generation judge chief was also the Karcanto Chamber of Commerce. The cargo of that ship entered the sea, and the Karcanto Chamber of Commerce was finished.”2

“What?!” Wood’s heart was tightened suddenly.

Chapter 7 can be understood, partly

The buildings that house the judiciary are generally made of stone to show the majesty and power of the Law Enforcer.
