Double portal: starting from the contract with the ice wolf tribe girl!

Chapter 22

Setsuna was pacing back and forth next to the divine pillar, her eyes moving and her expression very complicated.

At the same time, she was also curious as to whether her mysterious master could modify the contract between the gods?!

The temple is still deserted, and the indigenous people are not enthusiastic about the temple's divine contract.

After a little thought, it can be easily understood.

If the contract is for a small wish, the price will be relatively lower, but overall you will still suffer a loss.

As for those big wishes, they may not be able to be exchanged, because the gods need equivalents.

To take a step back, even if the contract can be exchanged, the duration of the wish is very short.

Just like Liu Jian's contract, the duration of the double top talents is only one hour.

So the wolf girl Setsuna had concluded very well before that only those desperate guys would conclude the divine contract in the temple.

"came back!"

With the faint flash of light, Liu Jian appeared out of thin air.

"Master, your contract..."

Setsuna Corinna immediately greeted her.

She was very curious and wanted to know the result immediately.

Liu Jian smiled and nodded gently, without saying anything else, and walked towards the outside of the temple with his head held high.

……

The daytime in Baroo Continent is much longer than that in Blue Star.

When the sun was almost crossing the center line of the sky, Liu Jian and Setsuna had already returned to the Blackstone Commercial Street in the West District for a tour.

They went to those trading houses first.

The main customers of these trading houses are adventurers and mercenaries.

Various armors and weapons made from monster materials, magic potions extracted from magic cores, as well as expensive magic scrolls and rare objects are sold there.

At the same time, these trading houses also recovered magic cores and materials from adventurers.

In particular, the magic core almost has the properties of a currency equivalent.

According to the level, it can be divided into seven specifications: gray, white, green, blue, purple, orange, and gold, which correspond to different levels of monsters.

In addition, the white crystal that absorbs magic energy will also change color in the same way according to the amount of magic energy contained.

It is worth mentioning that the price of magic core will change every Baloo day based on demand.

The price of a single gray magic core is usually between 1 and 1.5 silver coins.

Wise risk-takers will accumulate their stocks and sell when prices are high.

Except for guys who are in urgent need of money.

In many cases, magic cores can be traded for equivalent silver/copper coins.

When it comes to copper coins, the most mainstream currency system in Barro Continent, we have to mention currency exchange houses.

In the cities there were almost as many money-changing houses as trading houses.

There is a complete monetary system here, although in Liu Jian's view it is still a little behind.

Except for those trivial coins, there are also coins privately minted by the Grand Duchy and the nobility.

The core of value is still the metal standard.

There are orichalcum coins, mithril coins, and finally the most valuable black gold coins, also known as dark gold coins.

1 dark gold: 20 mithril silver: 240 orichalcum (for reference only, emphasize again.), of course, its price will fluctuate, but it will not be too excessive.

What needs to be emphasized is that the metal here is different from that of Blue Star, or to put it more rigorously, it is not exactly the same.

Orichalcum has extremely high hardness and is indestructible, making it the preferred casting material for armor.

Mithril has excellent magic conductivity and high plasticity, making it very suitable for making magical objects, jewelry and lightweight spellcasting armor.

Dark gold is indestructible and has good magic conductivity. It is the best metal for casting weapons.

Considering the characteristics of these metals, if you want to use them to cast equipment, the value of the materials is already high.

Affected by factors such as the characteristics, output, and world regional differences of magic metal.

The metal currency standards and ratios of the Baroo Continent cannot be fully applied to Blue Star's gold-silver ratio standard.

Because there is no comparison between the two worlds.

Because metal currency will be affected by wear, fineness and coinage specifications.

In this context, currency exchange banks came into being.

The currency exchange merchant will use a precise small scale to weigh the currency, and then exchange it into new coins according to the quality and currency system.

The difference between the old and new conversions is the profit earned by the currency exchange house.

Of course, all those who can open currency exchange houses are chambers of commerce recognized by the kingdom.

Even the vast majority of them are the properties of the royal family or the great nobility themselves.

Basic credibility and currency exchange rights are still there.

According to Setsuna.

The purchasing power of coins is quite stable.

Because the territory of Baroo continent is very vast, the distance scale far exceeds that of Blue Star.

Each region has giant cities as the second-level core and towns as the third-level core, forming a relatively independent regional style.

Therefore, there are great differences in various places, but within the same core area, it is basically stable.

In the core area of the giant city of Geratis, one orichalcum coin can buy six fist-sized pieces of bran bread or a glass of watered-down light beer.

Of course, the purchasing power here will fluctuate with price changes in various aspects.

For example, if there is a major impact on the supply and demand of magic cores, prices across the city may even fluctuate by 20% in a short period of time.

When an ordinary traveler walks into any restaurant in the third circle, he only needs to pay five to eight mountain copper coins to get a decent meal.

In contrast, hunting monsters is the most direct way to make money.

Demon cores and monster materials of all levels are all in hard currency.

Sometimes, monsters also come with good equipment and accessories. If you are lucky, you can collect herbs and minerals along the way.

If you are more courageous and go deeper into the cave, you might even get something unexpected.

For example, the core of the demon seed!!!

The core of the demon seed obtained by Setsuna Corinna can be conservatively estimated to be sold for 8,000 dark gold!

It is the core energy that maintains the power of many magic arrays. Even if the magic stored in it is consumed, it can be absorbed back from the air.

The core of the elementary demon seed can even go beyond two or three levels to power a bronze-level magic array.

If it can be brought to the giant city of Geratis, it might be sold for more than 10,000 yuan!

Now, this demon seed core has become Liu Jian's trophy and has been kept in his storage compartment.

He stayed in the currency exchange shop for a while and basically understood the mainstream currency system of the Barro continent.

Especially interested in those precious magic metals.

The texture of orichalcum is very similar to the brass in Blue Star, but the density and unit weight are much higher than brass.

Mithril is like silver with gray lines on its surface.

As for the dark gold coins, he has not yet had a chance to see them.

This also dispelled any luck in his mind.

After all, Liu Jian has read in many novels that the value of Blue Star's low-priced metals (brass, silver) can increase hundreds or even a thousand times in other worlds.

But in a real alien world, how could such a good thing happen? It cannot be said that it is completely impossible, it can only be said that the probability is extremely low.

In the magical world, the mainstream corresponds to magic metal.

And magic itself is a magical energy with infinite branch changes and possibilities.

Blue Star is a world with low demons, while Baloo Continent is a world where low demons have just transitioned to medium demons.

Therefore, the differences not only exist in the life forms of the two worlds, but are more widely reflected in the changes in the properties of flowers, plants, trees, and even minerals.

Liu Jian has no plans to take action on the Demon Seed Core yet.

He prepared two paths for himself to make money.

The first is to take advantage of the productivity gap between Blue Star and Baroo Continent to purchase exquisitely crafted consumer goods from Blue Star, including the bicycles he had previously thought about, and directly benchmark them against similar products from Baroo Continent.

For example, use a bicycle to compete with a horse.

As long as the price has enough advantages, there will definitely be no shortage of customers.

As for the difficulty of getting started, cycling is actually much easier than riding a horse. The durability of the wide-body solid tires has been tested by countless Blue Star people, and it is not a problem at all.

Secondly, it is to maintain the practice of magic and mental meditation, continuously improve the strength of a single body, participate in the mission of hunting monsters, accept adventure commissions, and exercise one's combat power.

Now, he already has a strong talent foundation for both magic and martial arts.

This is a very high starting point, even those favored by gods cannot compare with it!

After all, the price paid by the protagonist is very huge, if there is no golden finger to modify it.

As long as Liu Jian practices well, time will eventually be on his side.

The steadily improving strength will gradually give him status, wealth and everything he desires.

As for Blue Star, how to earn wealth is not a problem at all.

When he gains strength, there will be fertile ground under my feet.

No matter what, strength is the ballast of everything.

When opening up the Baroo continent, it is enough to ensure that the Blue Star side can become a stable rear area, and vice versa.

While Liu Jian was conducting research and understanding, an incident occurred.

That was when Setsuna took away her savings at the money exchange shop.

The amount was not small, and there was a small pocket filled with silver and copper coins. The first thing he did when he held the money bag was to kneel down on one knee and beg him not to take the money.

Due to the influence of the contract, she could not hide this matter.

But there was no agreement in the terms to accept her savings, so as long as Liu Jian didn't ask for it, she could give the money to her mother and brother.

Liu Jian directly agreed to this request.

The reason was very simple, he didn't want to push Setsuna too hard.

After all, he had already taken possession of the magic core, and it would be too unkind to take away the money.

He may not be a qualified master, but he sticks to his own ideas.

This move made the wolf girl instantly grateful to him.

Next, Liu Jian is going to find a place to practice.

Blue Star's free magic power content is extremely low, and its absorption efficiency is only a few tenths of that of Baloo.

This has nothing to do with talent, it is purely a matter of the different hardware environments between the two worlds.

Therefore, the most suitable place for cultivation is the Baroou continent.

"Master, if you don't mind, you can go to Setsuna's house first…"

"Don't worry, the disease is not contagious..."

Perhaps she was grateful that Liu Jian didn't take away her savings, the wolf lady said immediately.

Her wolf ears trembled, and her face was full of expectation.

Don't get me wrong, she is not She was looking forward to Liu Jian coming home with her.

It was the kind of expectation that she was about to see her relatives.

After a brief thought, Liu Jian nodded and agreed.

"fair enough"

"Thank you for your hard work, Setsuna!"

After reaching a consensus, the two of them walked towards the outside of the third circle.

……

They traded food for a ride on a horse-drawn carriage and walked for more than an hour before arriving at their destination.

——Located on Blackstone Street on the southwest outskirts of the third circle.

Walking in this short street called Mud Lane, you are surrounded by simple earthen stilts.

There were puddles of turbid sewage on the ground.

From time to time, a big black rat would quickly pass by.

Several humans and ice wolf children were trampling and playing in the sewage.

When the moment appeared, these little devils ran up one after another

"elder sister!"

"Did you bring us candy?"

Shu Na smiled and stroked the heads of these little dirty devils.

He took out a few coins and put them in their hands.:

"Take it and buy some candy."

"Thank you, sister~"

The little devils thanked her one after another. It was obviously not the first time they asked her for something.

Holding her purse, Setsuna Corinna turned to Liu Jian and nodded apologetically.

"Master, the rain in the past two days has made a mess here."

"I'll clean your boots later."

Liu Jian waved his hands to show that he didn't care.

He is not a hypocritical person, and he can overcome the dirty environment. He continued walking along the street, and there was a tavern in front of him.

There were several tall people squatting next to the crooked wooden fence. Young men from the Ice Wolf tribe who are about 1.55 meters tall.

They are disheveled, holding wooden wine glasses in their hands. Their cheeks are red and they are talking loudly.

At the same time, they look at the poor people passing by with malicious eyes.

In an instant, Liu Jian and Liu Jian walked by. As they were passing by, one of the young men from the Ice Wolf Tribe seemed to recognize Setsuna

"Yo!"

"Isn't this a small moment that you usually don't see?"

"It is rare to bring a human back!

"Is he your mistress?"

"Hehe, pure little moment....…"

The drunk Ice Wolf Tribe young man teased unabashedly

"Bang!"

The next second, this guy was suddenly beaten to the ground by Liu Jian
