022 Amn, the country of merchants

"So Tia's shield is worth 300 gold dragons?"

"That's 319 dragon coins and seven sambar! (Waterdeep's silver and gold coins). The profiteer also said that there was fine gold added to the shield. Damn it, who has ever seen two horns broken by a single attack?"

"Adamantine shield"? When we return to Waterdeep, I will use it to slap that dwarf profiteer in the face!"

The halfling said loudly in a sharp voice

"First of all, that was not a random attack by some wild beast. It was a dragon wing attack by Dark Green Calamity's eldest son, the flying dragon lord Mavic! Just two of the spikes were broken, which proves that this shield is excellent.

It’s worth it, after all, real gold armor can’t be bought with just a few hundred gold coins!”

Yorick looked back at Doso and said:

"Secondly, the three "colliding corners" were added at Tia's request. They are not an integral part of the shield.

Also, Doso, you shouldn't be able to lift Tia's shield, but you can't use it to "slap" Frank in the face."

At the end of the sentence, Yorick's tone was full of joking.

Frank, the dwarf blacksmith, was an old acquaintance of his, and the shield had already been discounted for his sake.

After all, Yorick had traveled in Faerûn for twenty years before joining "Delayed Justice", so it's normal to have some acquaintances

"I said before that this knife was the work of a dwarf master. Could it be that you bought it in Waterdeep City?"

Victor weighed the short knife in his hand and expressed his doubts. In terms of sharpness, this knife was certainly not as sharp as his previous "Ao Oni", but it seemed to be stronger in toughness. It might also be the back of the knife.

wider reason

"It was bought in Black Deer City. It is worth twenty-six dents. It is indeed a dwarven craft."

Dosso's face turned red when Yorick said it, and he immediately answered Victor's words.

"That almost wiped out John's last gold coin. The merchant was unwilling to accept any gold coins except the Gond Forging Bar. He could only exchange a full 26 Amdants for 1 Gond Forging Bar at the bank first!"

Gond Forge is the official currency of Lantan Island (equivalent to platinum coins). Logically speaking, one Gond Forge is worth 20 Amn gold coins.

"Ha, halfling Duosuo, you should be lucky to have completed this deal long ago. Now one forging bar in Black Deer City is worth 28 Amn gold coins!"

The voice was a little hoarse and came from the direction of John. It was the voice of businessman Tom.

"What's wrong with Amn? I just said that all Dante should be exchanged for Waterdeep Dragon Coins!"

Doso said a little angrily.

"The gold mines in Amkhzula were exhausted three years ago, and the gold content of the new Dante dropped from 50% to less than 40%. This news has just been revealed by the Emerald Society. It is said that a mage has verified the new Dante.

The gold content of

Old Tom's eyes were still red and his face was pale. He spoke slowly in a weak tone.

"As expected of a country of merchants, this news has been concealed for three whole years. Now it is said that even the greediest dragon despises Amn's gold coins!"

"The newly minted gold coins three years ago may not have flowed to Lantan. This is certainly not the reason why Dante deteriorated so quickly! For hundreds of years, Amn has been minting gold coins with the lowest gold content, but it can be used to buy Faerun's most powerful coins.

Most of the products are not without reason.”

Satara also participated in the discussion

"Ahem... The rumor is that the mages of the Emerald Society, together with the shadow thieves, launched a secret war against the Salem Quant family, one of the five major families in power in Amn. It is said that the first heir of that family died in an incident not long ago.

Assassination in progress...Now the governor of Nanzalu Port has also been changed..."

Tom had already sat up from the ground, drank two mouthfuls of water and said

"The Emerald Society...the political situation is unstable..."

John glanced at Satara and murmured softly

Amn, also known as the Land of Merchants, is a very wealthy country located in the west of Faerûn.

Before the Spellplague and the disappearance of the continent, Amn had colonies on the remote continent of Maztica. After the Spellplague, Amn still controlled important trade routes to Calishan and Baldur's Gate, as well as in the Moonshae Isles and

Colonial port on the Chult Peninsula.

Nanzalu Port in Chult is Amn's colonial port. However, it has been facing threats from primitive forces such as local dinosaurs and indigenous cannibal tribes for many years, and its development situation is not very good.

That's why the Mist Elves attract merchants from Lantan instead of from Amn.

Amn is one of the most important and influential trade centers in Faerûn.

Amn's government is a form of oligarchy, in which the five most powerful oligarchic families form a five-person council (before Spellplague, it was a six-person council)

The five ruling families are all big nobles, they are: Alibaka family, Daniheer family, Nasiva family, Ofar family and Salem Quant family.

The Salem Quant family controls Amn's spellcasting power.

The only legal spellcasting organization in Amn is the Masked Mage Guild, and the Emerald Society and the Shadow Thieves are both local illegal forces. Shatara once had some involvement with the Emerald Society...

The sorceress seemed to have thought of something, but she didn't speak and just hid her face in her hood.

"Old Tom, why are you getting worse and worse? A dozen days ago you told us that you had found a way to make a fortune and wanted to make a fortune. Looking at how miserable you are now, I said that luck is more important than any "way to make money".

Important, praise the smiling lady!

I almost forgot, hehe, look what this is!"

After Dosso laughed at Tom, he suddenly remembered their trophies. He raised the ring above his head, attracted everyone's attention and said loudly

The ring suddenly flew out of the halfling's hand, as if it was dragged away by something. After Dorso looked up and looked at the direction in which the ring was floating, he didn't say anything, but looked at Shatara expectantly.

When Victor saw this, he also relaxed his guard. This was something he picked up, and he couldn't let it be stolen before his eyes...

Trick [Mage's Hand]

Create a transparent arm that can lift 10 pounds (about 5 kilograms), and can do some things that the "hand" can do according to the caster's will within a range of 30 feet, such as opening a door and turning off a light.

This spell may seem useless, but it is a very important spell for mages. Most magic experiments are inseparable from the help of mages.

"This is supposed to be a healing ring. Yorick may know its specific function better. It has an obvious elf texture on it."

After Shatara looked at the ring, she threw it to the half-elf ranger.

Although she is only a mid-level warlock and low-level wild mage, she is still the most knowledgeable in the team. Even if she has not learned any special identification spells, she can still distinguish the general effects of most magic items.

This ring should be a relic of a certain elf. It looks like the standard jewelry of the mist elves. Yorick should know better.



While they were discussing, Victor's attention seemed to be attracted by something in the distance. He looked in the direction of the forest and frowned...
