The other harpies were also awakened, but unfortunately they only woke up for a moment.
A blur of black shadow flashed past, and blood spurted out from the necks of two banshees. They could only use their hands to cover the cut arteries and let out ear-piercing howls.
There was a bird demon at the entrance of the cave that was about to flap its wings and take off. As soon as it spread its wings, it suddenly turned into a ball of blood.
A naked and muscular figure stood at the entrance of the cave, blocking the escape passage of the bird demons like a huge boulder.
Victor frowned slightly as he smelled the rancid smell in the cave.
After a brief period of confusion, the remaining banshees calmed down with a sharp cry.
Some of them were holding bone clubs, and some were holding short spears and rushed towards the cave entrance. Victor
"Is this the harpy? Aren't banshees supposed to be enchanting and beautiful? Didn't you say they have a singing voice that can enchant people's hearts?"
These monsters have disheveled hair like beggars, their croaking noises are annoying, and they also emit a stench of excrement.
Victor was a little disappointed with their performance. He took the initiative to deal with these monsters. Firstly, he wanted to see the rumored harpies, and secondly, he wanted to see if their charm songs would work on him. However,
That's it?
After all, he comes from a different world and a different power system. This is a good opportunity to understand his resistance to mental spells.
"Your Excellency, they only use songs to confuse their prey when hunting. In this case, they can only wield bone sticks. Harpies are not intelligent creatures."
Yorick's calm voice came from the edge of the cave entrance.
Victor nodded, didn't say anything, and just punched the charging harpies seemingly casually.
After the invisible shock wave passed, each of the bird demons was slapped against the stone wall, with blood splattering everywhere.
"Ahem..."
Just now, Duosuo had reached the businessman who was tied to the stone and used a bloody dagger to help him cut off the rope. However, at this time, he had been tortured to the point of becoming unconscious. His eyes were red and his mouth was drooling.
, yelling at Doso with unknown meaning.
The thick smell of blood irritated his nasal cavity and nerves. In the past few days, he watched these monsters eat other people one by one. He knew that he would be the next one soon!
"Wake up, hey, wake up"
The halfling slapped him in the face several times, trying to wake him up.
"Profiteer, Old Tom, you're saved! Damn it, John should come down and have a look! Isn't he under some strange spell?"
"The harpy can't cast spells. Poor old Tom was just tortured to the point of unconsciousness. We should take him up and John will comfort him."
Yorick also came to them and squatted down to cast a spell on Tom
There was a flash of green light, and the wounds scratched by the harpy's claws on Tom's chest and other places healed quickly.
Natural Spells [Healing Wounds]
Under the influence of natural energy, Tom's performance became slightly calmer
"I'll take him up first"
Yorick glanced at Victor and said to Doso
Victor is still studying those "murals" attentively. He now regrets not leaving any survivors. He wants to study the differences in the muscles and bones of the creatures in this world - this is related to his subsequent fighting methods. After all, know yourself and the enemy.
You can fight a hundred battles without danger
The half-elf carried Old Tom up the cliff
Victor and Doso are the only ones left in the cave.
Half body rummaging through a pile of clutter, trying to find valuable items
"We once found an elven sword in the harpy's lair. It was worth 300 dragon coins. It was only after that that Tia had the money to buy her shield. Damn the profiteers of Waterdeep!
But...hehe! Who would have thought that there would be such a precious treasure in the bird demon's lair? Under the gaze of the smiling lady, the lucky Doso stumbled among the pile of garbage, and then, haha! He touched that
Fascinating big baby!”
Noticing Victor's probing gaze, Doso laughed obscenely while explaining.
"Duosuo, how much is this worth?"
Victor asked Doso while holding up a green ring.
A black shadow flashed past, and Dosuo leaped to Victor's side and took away the ring in his hand.
He can completely intercept the halfling's movements, but it's not necessary
"Look, look, this is a magic ring, look at its emerald green luster, oh~ that charming arc, lucky Victor, where did you find this little cutie?"
Duosuo looked excited. He looked hard at the ring and even kissed it. Unfortunately, he couldn't identify magic. He could only see the magic aura on the ring.
"The harpy with the spear, she put this ring on her toe..."
Victor touched his head, looked at the halfling speechlessly and said
His words made Dosuo freeze for a moment. He tried to spit a few times, but his hand still held the ring tightly and just wiped it with his cloak a few times...
"In my opinion, it's worth at least 50 units! Hehe"
Dragon Coin? Single Special? Victor is not sure about the monetary system here.
He did not rush to ask questions, but instead searched for the remaining items with the halflings. Soon after, they obtained:
Five small silver pieces, Dotho calls them dimes, the currency of Waterdeep.
There were about 50 copper coins in a small bag, which Duosuo called them "dung cubes" with disgust.
One spear and 7 bone clubs - totally worthless
A tattered suit of chain mail
A gold necklace, Doso muttered, it must have belonged to Old Tom.
Including that ring, the above is all the gains from this battle.
It doesn't look like much, but Duosuo seems very satisfied. Compared with these gains, they paid almost nothing.
——Except for the spell used to save Old Tom, but they will take it back from the profiteer!
While returning to the cliff, Victor asked his question about Faerûnian currency.
"Ha! This is a very complicated knowledge..."
Dosso was in a good mood, and he introduced various common coins in Faerûn to Victor confidently.
Almost all regimes or organizations in Faerûn that have a certain degree of dominance over a certain region will issue their own currency, which leads to a very chaotic monetary system in Faerûn.
But overall, Faerun's currency mainly consists of copper coins, silver coins, silver gold coins, gold coins and platinum coins.
This is just a collective name for different currencies issued by different forces.
For example, the "Dragon Coin" mentioned earlier is the name of the gold coin issued by Waterdeep City, while Amn's gold coin is called "Single", and Silvermoon City's gold coin is also called "Dragon", but it is different from the "Dragon" coin of Waterdeep City.
"Dragon coins" look different and have different values
For currencies issued by the same country, the exchange ratio between different currencies is neither fixed nor the same.
For example, the coins of Amn include:
·Platinum coin: "Roldan"
·Gold Coin: "Dante"*
·Silver and gold coins: "people and horses"
·Silver Coin: "Talan"
·Copper coin: "Fande"
Before Dotho and the others left Amn, the exchange ratio of Amn coins was approximately
1 Roldan (platinum coin)
= 12 single special (gold coins)
= 24 troops (silver and gold coins)
= 120 talents (silver coins)
= 1440 Vanders (copper coins)
In Amn, 3 Vanders can buy a large piece of black bread, which can meet the food needs of a poor man for a day.
In different periods, the exchange ratio between coins will fluctuate to a certain extent. Even if they are the same "single coins", they were minted in different periods, so the number of "horses" they can exchange may also be different... This is due to different periods.
The precious metal content within minted coins may vary…
What’s even more complicated is the exchange ratio between currencies in different regions…
For example, 1 "Dragon Coin" in Silvermoon City can be exchanged for 1 "Dante" and 6 "Centrals" in Amn...
At the local town bank in Faerûn (or other places that exchange money) there will be a sign at the door, which will regularly update the official exchange ratios of various common coins.
The value of currencies issued by different countries depends on the precious metal content of the currency itself, as well as the influence of the issuing country...
