To be able to support a war, converted into gold coins, it would cost tens of millions. I shouldn't make such ridiculous demands.
"Ha, I want you to pay for it." Dove glanced at it with a smile and continued: "But now we have a better cooperation goal, and you should have heard about it, the Holy Coin Cult."
The Holy Coin Cult believes in the goddess of wealth and is one of the richest organizations in Faerûn. In the few years since Woking reappeared in front of the world, this church has once again shown its glory.
With wealth that rivals other countries, it is not difficult for the Holy Coin Cult to launch a regional war. The key is how to convince those capitalists who only care about profits.
"It's more difficult to take money out of their pockets than to kill them." Regarding this task, even if his negotiation skills were 100 and his charm was 100, Sherlock was not sure he could complete it.
This is not a hundred or two hundred, but a grant that may be as high as tens of millions. The key is that there is no return yet.
"Of course not under normal circumstances, but now that the demon elves have summoned Graz'zt's clone, they will definitely be willing to help. Tomorrow there will be a fleet of merchants affiliated with Helena passing through Sequoia Town. We
Someone will pick you up at the pier." Dove continued to explain and stopped talking.
In the end, Sherlock also walked out of Newt's pet shop with little knowledge. No matter how he asked, the four of them were very secretive and refused to say anything.
Now this mission is next, but how to do it can only be done step by step. Let's go to Huanshui City to try it out. Maybe it can be completed directly.
Moreover, Muliuxi was also in Noisy Water City, and it was quite itchy to have the power of the dragon in his hands all the time. He was afraid that he would just use it without holding back.
The merchant ship Dove mentioned will not pass by until tomorrow morning. Now there is still some time, and Sherlock is planning to go to Loulanjing again. This time, the moon sapphire obtained from the Supreme Hunting dungeon is unknown.
Keys on the altar.
The result of the attempt was a bit pleasant and unexpected. With the power of the moon sapphire, he successfully passed through the whirlpool in the middle of the lake and walked to the altar. From this, it can be concluded that his guess was not wrong.
But when he put the gem into the waning moon-shaped groove, nothing special happened. After trying various methods such as blood dripping, magic power delivery, and mind communication, etc., but still to no avail, he could only give up temporarily.
Open the altar.
It seems that two keys must be collected to open it. I don't know who has the other day-shaped gem, or it just didn't appear. Sherlock sighed helplessly and left Lou Lanjing.
The remaining time was not enough for him to do other things. He repaired his equipment, replenished his supplies, and then strolled around the market to welcome the next day's sunshine.
Sequoia Town is on the edge of the eastern basin of the Delimbil River. Of course, it also has a port, but it is not within the town, but more than a mile to the west.
There are passing fleets passing by this port every day. Follow this river to the west, passing through Water City and West Comb. You can enter the Sword Coast through Dagger Ford. You can go north to the glorious city of Waterdeep, or you can go south.
To the city of wonders, Baldur's Gate.
At the same time, this river also connects two special trade routes, the Unicorn Stream and the Black Road.
The Drimbier River is so important that the disputes surrounding it have never ended, and the focus of this dispute is the Noisy City located in the center of the basin.
Therefore, Huanshui City, which was originally just a trading and repair station, developed into a prosperous small city in a short period of time. Even the Holy Coin Cult established a temple and a chamber of commerce in the city.
This city is certainly not comparable to Luskan or Calimport, but it still has a unique style.
After waiting at the port for a while, a halfling dressed as a wanderer led Sherlock to a merchant ship that was about to set sail.
There is a free boat ride, so there is no reason to go to the carriage shop and spend the unreasonable money. From Sequoia Town to Noisy Water City, you only get five or six hundred gold coins.
"Hello, my name is Gray Millet. I am a traveling businessman. I travel around and do some small business. I have already heard about this mission from my supervisor. There are a few things I must tell you first."
Following the halfling named Gray Sun to the cabin at the bottom of the ship, the two parties exchanged mission information, but most of the time it was the other party who did the talking.
After listening to the other party's story, Sherlock finally realized how difficult this task was. His first step was to meet the powerful figures in the church. The priest of the temple and the director of the Chamber of Commerce would not do it just because you are a harp.
He can meet you casually, not to mention that he cannot reveal his identity casually during this operation.
For him, the simplest and most direct way is of course to donate property to the Woking Temple. When the amount reaches a certain amount, he will naturally have the opportunity to meet with the church's senior leaders. However, this amount is too small, and it is probably useless if he doesn't have 100,000 gold coins.
Shylock was reluctant to spend this wasted money, so he came up with this second method.
It seems that the timing of this mission is clever. One of the five bishop candidates of the Holy Coin Cult, also known as the Five Shrews, Helena Gaza, is currently preparing to hold a grand banquet in Noisy Water City.
To seek more supporters and allies.
The adventurers are also on the invitation list for this banquet. As long as they find a way to get an invitation letter, they can enter the banquet.
As for how to persuade Helena next, Hui Mao showed an innocent expression and expressed no idea.
Alas, we still haven't gotten the final information we need. Dove and the others seem to have great confidence in this mission, but they refuse to disclose some key issues, which makes him feel uneasy now.
Feeling the movement of the merchant ship, Sherlock didn't want to stay in the ugly and stuffy cabin any longer, so he ran to the deck alone and browsed the surrounding scenery.
At this time, in the myconid camp, a group of myconids were chasing a silver-haired girl holding two swords.
"I'm finally back on the surface again, Sherlock. I won't lose to you this time." The silver-haired girl said to herself excitedly while running away.
…
It takes a day and a night to ride a carriage from Sequoia Town to Noisy Water City. Taking a boat down the river is not much faster because it is sailing on an inland river and there is no danger. Sherlock simply went offline to rest.
I took a look at the recent major events in the game, and searched for information about the Goddess of Wealth and the Holy Coin Cult. Time passed quickly.
