Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 1224: old people's hesitation

The old priests still had that professional-level 'kind' smile, neither agreeing nor refusing. It may be that the sound from the small silk bag was quite clear and not heavy at all. This means that the number of coins is a bit small, so it failed to impress this group of old men.

Lin went straight to the second step and poured out the coins in the silk pouch. Those were more than a dozen golden double-faced kir (gold coins) of the Gwana Empire, which made everyone's eyes shine.

The coins of the Gwana Empire are round in shape and engraved with the symbols of the minting year on the edge. On one side is a portrait of the emperor from the period of casting, and on the other side is a print representing the tulips of the imperial family. The fineness of the casting fully reflects the exquisite casting technology of the empire.

Compared with the coins minted in other countries, it may be that a piece of gold is burnt soft, and then the pattern is pressed out like a seal. Most of them are single-sided, and they will not be deliberately rounded, but only pay attention to enough weight.

Ugly is ugly, but the quality of coins is more important than their appearance than issues of minting technique.

There is no alloy technology in Midi, so the fineness of coins depends on the degree of purification of the metal, but it is impossible to purify to 100% pure gold, pure silver, or pure copper. Not only because it cannot be done, but also because the metal with too high purity is too soft, and it cannot withstand several uses after being cast into coins, and I am afraid that it will become a golden lump that no one can recognize. So it depends on the conscience of the caster.

The coins of several great empires are of good quality and exquisite casting. Even if you want to use other metals of similar color to make counterfeit coins, it is of course quite difficult to imitate. This is why the coins minted by the Gwana Empire are called good coins.

Most of the coins minted by other countries are just coins, even bad coins that ordinary people disdain to use. In terms of use, these coins and inferior coins may not be used as 'one' coins in other places except in the country where they were minted. It takes more money to be able to buy something with a certain price, and it may even be banned.

Although these years mathematics has begun to circulate mysteriously. However, there is still no general understanding of the "exchange rate" for the exchange of coins, bad coins and good coins - there is no such term in Midi. When merchants encounter coins that are not good coins during transactions, they still use the old practice of asking prices purely based on their feelings, or they don't accept them.

Under Midi's current economic system, the purchasing power of the dozen or so Gwana Empire gold coins that Lin took out is astonishing. Regardless of the magician's perception of spending money that is different from ordinary people, after all, the price of magic materials is not close to the people at all. These more than ten gold coins are enough for a family in this temple, and it will take a whole year for food and clothing. , do not waste words.

So after seeing the gold coins of the Gwana Empire in the unsinkable silk bag, even the old priests who had seen the world, their eyes lit up.

The children even ran to the table, big and small all clinging to the edge of the table, while looking at the gold coins, they exclaimed in a milky voice, "Is this Keir? It's the first time I've seen it."

Hello, this is the temple of the Goddess of Gold Coins. A group of little dolls said that they saw 'gold coins' for the first time, how miserable it was.

The little girl Lucrezia seemed to be in disbelief, but clasped her fists on the spot, bowed her head and prayed. Then there was a magic spell, shot on the coins scattered on the table! Under the power of the gods, the gold coins emit a pure white light, looking holy and flawless.

"Wow, it's really Keir." The girl who seemed to have never seen money in her life, her eyes lit up, exclaimed.

"Wait a minute, what was that magical technique just now?" Lin asked curiously.

The oldest old priest replied: "That is a kind of identification technique, but it can only be used to identify the fineness of coins. Whiter means better fineness, darker is not acceptable. Whether it is Jier (gold), Jiang Jing ( Silver), Danba (copper) are fine. The white light just now means that this is the Kiel cast by the empire."

Wow, there is such a magical technique. A certain person has been in the mud for more than 20 years and only found out about it today. The point is that this magical technique is very good and will be of great use in the future, but it needs to be modified.

To put it simply, when someone brings coins to the door, they treat all the coins as 'one' coin, or after the color is verified, they call a random exchange rate as the businessman is used to.

If you want to formulate a credible exchange rule, what is the basis? Forensic priest's free testimonial? This approach is no different from asking for a dead end, and it is absolutely not advisable. At this time, this magical technique can come in handy, but it needs to be more detailed. To put it bluntly, it is to digitize the identification results.

However, the details of the divine arts can only be discussed with that majesty. When the priests use divine spells, at most they show a person's sophistication or jerkiness in the timing and method of use, but the effect of the divine spells is consistent and cannot be changed by ordinary people.

After appraising the quality of Kiel given by Lin, the indifferent attitude of the old priests loosened. At least under the longing gaze of a group of children, big and small, they couldn't bear it anymore and pushed out the money they almost got. What's more, the purpose of this money is not to make them violate their conscience and do some blasphemy. So the oldest priest thought about it and said:

"Your Majesty the Mage, you said that you would offer an offering, but you don't know what the offering is?"

Although the era of the old gods has gone away, the new gods who have risen to the top in the past thousand years, except for a few who have special requirements for the offerings, most of the gods do not care much about the content of the offerings. They are not demons, they need blood or souls. The gods care more about the mind that comes with the offerings.

Some people are really devout and willing to offer their most precious things to the gods; but some people regard offerings as a bargaining chip. For example, the offerings made by magicians to the Eight Lords of Power in meditation ceremonies belong to the latter case.

But not everything can be sacrificed. Every **** still has its forbidden zone. For those who violated these taboos, the divine punishment would be relatively light, as long as they would hurt other people. Like the priest presiding over the ceremony or something...

So when the old priest asked this question, he also wanted to ensure that the offerings of the magician in front of him would not violate the taboo of the majesty in the sky, and then blamed himself.

In fact, asking such a question also implied that he agreed to the magician's request, and only had to do the final check. Of course, Lin is not dissatisfied with such a result. He took out another small silk bag from his arms, took out a red-bright magic stone, put it on the table, and pushed it out.

The offerings of the Lost Gods are more or less a continuation of the tradition of the old **** era. Sacrificial offerings can be regarded as quite high-standard offerings, followed by artworks made of precious metals such as gold and silver.

I don't know if it's because magicians are in such a high demand that they can't spare it as a sacrifice to the gods, or it's because the bigwigs in the sky don't care much about the magic materials that the world can offer. Or it is too precious to look at, whether it is a magician or an ordinary noble, they are reluctant to give such a precious thing.

In short, it is quite rare to take a magic stone as an offering. Almost normal people would not do this, but the magician in front of him did it.

The old priest picked up the magic stone and looked at it carefully. Hexagonal column type, double-headed cone. When grasped in one hand, the ends of the pointed cone protrude slightly, which is the standard cut for magic stones. It is said that the magic stone cut in this way is the easiest shape to release the power contained in the magic stone. However, such a magic stone is not a work of art that can be placed on the altar of the gods.

"My Healing Game"

The old priest did not directly veto the thing in his hand, but planned to ask for clarification before replying. So I asked, "Your Excellency, what is this offering...?"

"My lord, you don't think I just offer a magic stone. What I offer is the most precious thing for a magician, which is our knowledge." Lin nodded his head confidently. He added: "The information stored in it can be opened with the browser magic stone. I believe that simple little magic will not trouble the Majesty in the sky."

The old priest still did not agree. He asked cautiously: "Your Excellency, I don't know if I can read the content first."

Asking such a question is because I am afraid of the content recorded by the magic stone. Even if it is not a blasphemous statement, it is also related to personal privacy. No matter which one it is, it is definitely not a good idea to rashly offer it to His Majesty in the sky.

Although Lin didn't understand the real thoughts of the old priest, it was not that he didn't understand such worries. Just like before time travel, if someone wants to pass a note or send a letter to the leader above him through himself, he will also worry about whether there is any nonsense in the content. Don't bring yourself into the ditch if you don't sell the favor. So Lin made a 'please' gesture~www.wuxiamtl.com~ to let the old priest check the content.

After getting permission, the priests did not pretend to be reserved. Several people took out their browser magic stones, turned on the water mirror screen skillfully, and used their magic stones to touch the Hongyao magic stone that Lin was going to offer, and read its contents.

The content is about the establishment and operation mode of an organization, and it is related to money. After a rough reading, the priests couldn't say that they appreciated or rejected it. Although it feels like the organizational structure described in the information can be established, it should be a good thing. But they are all very old people, and their acceptance of new things is not so fast.

But these judgments should not be made by them. At least the content of the magic stone doesn't contain words that would offend the gods, so let's offer it. Several old priests looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.

"Lu, take the other children to tidy up the altar and prepare for a sacrifice." The old priest directly instructed the girl who stayed in the church and was mainly responsible for taking care of the young children. After speaking, the priests also got up and made their own preparations.

Lin asked at this time: "Everyone, I wonder if I can stay to watch the ceremony?"

"Of course, Your Majesty the Mage. Anyone who believes in our Lord is a follower of His Majesty Ke Yin. Your Majesty will not refuse anyone to participate in the ceremony of worshiping Him."

Seeing the perfunctory attitude of the old priests, Lin was noncommittal. Anyway, as long as one's own goal is achieved, it doesn't matter what other people think.

And the most important one, and the purpose that has never been mentioned to others, is to hold a sacrificial ceremony in the temple, so that there should be a chance to peep into the divine kingdom of the goddess of gold coins. As long as you let yourself see it, you should be able to determine the coordinates of the other party. If things do not develop as expected, then plan B can be implemented immediately.
