When Lu Yu returned to the castle, he was immediately sandwiched on the left and right by Sera and Lulu. When he was thinking about what drama the two planned to play with him, he was stunned by the question they asked.
"The scroll of the Pope's list? Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Lu Yu took good care of everything Laurend had entrusted to him. Not to mention Serra, the books and manuscripts were all rubbed by Lu Yu, and the originals were sealed with great care and placed in a secret compartment behind the bookshelf in the room.
middle.
After explaining the reason, Lulu couldn't wait to remove the protective layer Lu Yu made for the scroll and carefully unfolded it.
As the handwriting was revealed, the three curious people all tilted their heads, ignoring the various congratulations left by Laurend, and a name jumped into their eyes.
Lu Yu and Lulu were slightly stunned. The name seemed to have some impression, but as time went by, their memory was a little blurry.
"Good old David?" Sierra squinted her eyes and murmured, "Is this what you mean by asking him to take over the law enforcement tribunal...wait, no..."
Seeing Sera's surprise, Lu Yu hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
During the God's Chosen period, Sera did not get along too closely with a group of people of similar age, with the exception of David. The relationship between them was extremely harmonious. David, who was kind to others, always smiled and could not help anyone.
Angry at him, what impressed Sierra most about him was David's piety. Sometimes he would always say that he saw strange scenes in his dreams or heard strange voices.
David once approached her excitedly to talk to her, thinking that he must be the one who responded to the pious man.
At that time, Sera didn't take God seriously. She ate tribute every day and regarded David's auditory hallucinations and dreams as highly pious self-hypnosis and didn't take it seriously, but now it seems...
A long time before Laurende was about to die, he could keep seeing silver maple trees in his dreams. I am afraid that this was not an obsession with entering the dream, but a real revelation.
"You mean, the Silver Maple Tree had a vague consciousness and tried to communicate before the magic wave came?" Lu Yu changed the topic, "Then he watched you steal the tribute, right?
?”
Sierra choked.
After contacting people from the Brilliance Institute, Sera still couldn't talk to David.
After knowing that the Theocracy was being plotted, in order to prevent the precious wealth left by Laurent from being destroyed, the believers turned to xenophobia. Before she contacted the Court of Light, a Bishop of the Law Enforcement Tribunal and a Bishop of the Inquisition Tribunal
Set off for Fagutar City where the riots are likely to expand. Due to the violent magic power fluctuations of unknown origin in the area, magic messengers and communication circles are unable to work, and the most primitive letters and scrolls are being used to convey information.
"Severe magic fluctuations?"
The three of them couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing the description of the Radiance Institute. The magic power fluctuations that can cause magic communication to be cut off, and the regional impact brought by the magic power tide, are still... something is wrong.
The people from Guanghuiyuan seemed to be downplaying it, and instead advised Sera not to worry.
"Fagutar is an important city in the Theocracy, an important hub connecting the central and southern regions. It is densely populated and has many believers. It is impossible for riots to cause magic power fluctuations on this scale. It is probably the periodic impact of the magic power tide. This kind of
This has happened to us many times.”
"We will inform you as soon as there is news about David... Oh, by the way, everyone in Guanghui Court is very curious, do you and Glutton have a child? Do you need their help in the child's first blessing prayer?
"
The slight uneasiness that originally filled Sera's face was shattered by this sentence, and she unilaterally cut off the communication without thinking.
Sera slowly turned her head, Lulu turned sideways pretending not to care, but her eyes were squinting at her, while Lu Yu stared at her with a smile.
"Don't laugh!" Sera glared at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu coughed: "No, no, I just want to ask, if you really have a child, do you plan to do it?"
"I don't want to, I'm not the chosen one of the radiant gods, and I don't believe in the radiant doctrine..."
Lulu blinked: "But Silver Maple Tree seems to like you very much. He even lent you his power. You study necromancy magic and yet he is so tolerant to you."
Lu Yu grinned and said, "I think it's better to let the children make their own choices?"
Sierra wanted to nod in support of this statement, but after understanding the subtext, her ears immediately started to tap dance.
"Dong dong dong."
The knock on the door gave Sierra an excuse to escape from the topic. She touched her cheek to make sure it was only slightly hot, and then said please come in.
The person who came was Little Niba, and on her head was a white mink family member that Bao Du had caught for her. Seeing that there were so many people, the white ferret quickly slipped Little Niba's head into her furry tail and hid.
"Is it a problem with the summoning?" Lu Yu subconsciously stepped forward and asked, "By the way, let's inform Bao Mu, Herola, and Sphenoid Gu, and I will explain to them some of the key points of the summoning of heroic spirits."
Little Niba nodded and continued: "Actually, Xia Leim asked me to come over and tell the teacher something... Well, she said you will understand after reading these scrolls."
After being devastated by Royer's choices and changes, Charem lived a quiet pastoral life, opened up a field by herself, and learned from the agricultural team.
The power of words and spirits enjoys the joy brought by labor.
Because no one in Dawn Territory was interested in cultivating flowers, she volunteered to open a flower garden, went to Broken Gold City to purchase various flower seeds brought by merchants, and selected ornamental flowers that were suitable for the soil of Dawn Territory and flowers with medicinal value.
Flowers, during this time when she no longer relied on Roye and overcame her lethargy to act alone, she silently recorded the prices of commodities in Broken Gold City.
Several scrolls record the price changes of daily necessities, food, magic materials, and weapons in Broken Gold City. The starting date of the records is last year's autumn harvest.
Looking at the series of constantly changing numbers, the faces of the three of them looked very calm at first. Later, Lu Yu frowned, and Sera narrowed her eyes slightly, seeming to be deep in thought.
Sigrid came over quickly, took the scroll, and browsed it quickly. She also frowned.
Lulu sighed: "The price rise is really great. The price of a bag of brown rice has increased from one copper coin during the autumn harvest to five copper coins per bag yesterday."
Sigrid said firmly: "No, the real problem is currency."
In terms of management logistics, she, who was the best in mathematics in the entire morning field, noticed something was really wrong at a glance. She pointed to the column of commonly used magic materials and compared the data from last year's autumn harvest with yesterday's. The settlement currency had suddenly changed from the original copper, silver, gold,
It turned into copper, silver, and magic crystal sand.
Gold has been removed from the direct transaction currency list, which means that most merchants prefer to use the three listed currencies and conduct transactions by barter.
Lulu was a little confused, she didn't quite know what this meant.
"Metals such as copper and iron are indispensable as forging materials for equipment and weapons. Every time there is a war, their value will increase. Silver can be used as a casting medium and material, and it also has a defense-breaking effect against certain special magics, so it is highly valuable.
Compared with copper, its value will also appreciate during wars. The popularity of gold is related to the ancient dragons who first ruled the Magic Age and the ancient tradition of subsequent rulers pursuing luxury. Because of its relatively scarce attribute, it has become one of the trading currencies. However,
In fact, its practical value is limited. Therefore, once a war breaks out, big businessmen and nobles will demand the use of the first two currencies for settlement, reject gold coins, create the illusion of gold devaluation, and then use private tokens to recover gold coins and wait for the situation.
Release again after stabilizing."
The little Niba who was listening was confused. She reasoned: "Okay, this is indeed feasible within a certain area... After all, people who have accumulated gold coins can also trade in other places. What does this have to do with the Dawn Territory?"
?"
"It should be said that this matter may have something to do with the entire Mera Continent. Magic crystal sand, magic crystal dust, alchemists can restore them to magic crystal, and then obtain an impure magic crystal through stillness. This is also
Most of the magic crystals we see on the market, in the past history, magic crystal sand as a general equivalent transaction was limited to magic materials, but now... almost every major item has appeared and must be completed with crystal sand.
Items of trade.”
"Is it also hoarding and waiting for the opportunity to earn the difference?"
Sigrid shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Being listed in the column of commonly used currencies such as gold, silver and copper, rather than being a negotiated price when bartering, means that it is likely to have been used by merchants...
No, they don’t have that much energy yet, they should be magicians. The magicians have already determined that this will be the hard currency in the future magic era and a general equivalent that is trustworthy.”
Sera laughed meaningfully: "Interesting, is it only like this in Broken Gold City, or does it also appear in other places..."
She picked up the statue and ordered to Milai: "Help me pay attention to where the magic crystal rich ore is found."
Sigrid and others were thinking about a future where magic crystals would be used to settle goods on a large scale, and Sera's statue rang.
"Lord Serra, do you already know that the Green Shade Territory has discovered two unprecedented crystal rich deposits, or do you not know?" Milai said in confusion, "I also learned not long ago that Tanya is very
A long time ago, she found a rich crystal mine across the mountains in the Green Shade Territory. She is now recruiting miners to conduct preliminary excavations, and the settlement currency of the entire Green Shade Territory's foreign trade has also become crystal sand."
Now the truth is revealed.
"Tanya has understood that as the magic wave continues, the proportion of magicians will slowly increase, so she takes advantage of the rich ore she finds, grabs a wave of resources first, hoards them, and calms down."
Even without Tanya, the drastic changes brought about by the magic wave will have an impact on traditional currencies. In order to meet the transaction needs of magicians, a new equivalent is imperative, and what she is doing now is accelerating this process.
step.
Lulu sighed: "She is still as shrewd as before..."
Lu Yu and Sera scoffed.
If you are so smart, how come you are by my side in the end?
"Lu Yu, does she do this to help your magic power become more general-purpose?" Sera suddenly remembered.
The corner of Lu Yu's mouth rose: "Yes, so we have to thank the shrewd Miss Tanya for working hard to promote the new 'currency' for us."
This feeling of doing nothing and someone will naturally pave the way for you. When you think of Lulu, she pushed her into your arms...
Tanya, this is what you do!
I won’t have it early tomorrow. I want to play Russian Genshin Impact tonight for a while and sleep beautifully. But the update should be stable every two times and strive for tens of thousands of days, so give it to me, give it to me!
