Magus Tech (Technological Wizard)

After entering the city, Li Cha saw that the road in Cuijin City was very wide. The main road was more than ten meters long and was paved with flat bluestone slabs. However, it may be that the construction time is too long, and most of the bluestone slabs have been damaged. Some places are covered with cracks, and other places are even more pitted, and the depressions are filled with black sewage.

Pedestrians come and go, be careful to avoid places that are difficult to walk. Occasionally, someone riding a horse shouted and ran, and the horses hooves stepped on the sewage and splashed around, causing pedestrians to scream and dodge.

The air is a bit cloudy and the smell is a bit bad, but other than that, the rest is acceptable.

Along the wide road, there are two- or three-story buildings on both sides, shops are continuous, the guys are smiling at the door and warmly soliciting customers. There were noises and laughter from time to time in the tavern, the blacksmith shop was "ding ding ding dong", and pieces of weapons or agricultural tools were made and sold at the door...

Carrying the suitcase, Pandora opened his eyes wide and looked at the surrounding scene. He felt a little disgusted by the bad environment. Compared with the freshness, cleanliness and nature in the forest, it was far worse. But I was curious about how many people were busy, which was never seen in the forest.

Richard dragged Pandora all the way, and finally walked into a hotel that looked good.

The first floor of the hotel is not unexpected, it is still a pub, and there are many people sitting here, all drinking, talking and laughing with wine glasses.

Li Cha didn't pay much attention to this, and walked to the counter.

Behind the counter, stood a forty-year-old shopkeeper who was as fat as a ball. When he wasn't smiling, his face was full of treacherousness. When he laughed, a pair of squinting eyes squeezed out, and the corners of his mouth were so raised that they reached his nose, making people subconsciously cover their wallets.

"Hey, this guest, what do you need? Stay in the hotel, or what?" The inn owner didn't wait for Li Cha to say a word, and he had already taken the initiative to say hello, "If you stay in the hotel, we have rooms at various prices to choose from. , you can live for a short time or rent for a long time. We also have other services, such as finding a girl who can relax for you, or finding someone to deal with difficult problems for you..."

Richard raised his eyebrows. He already knew the role played by the innkeeper behind the counter. He should be a broker, that is, an intermediary businessman in the Middle Ages. They take advantage of the fact that hotels and taverns have access to all kinds of people to introduce business for others and earn commissions from them. In fact, in the Middle Ages, many innkeepers and other shop owners would also have this occupation, which is why some craftsmen, mercenaries, etc. like to gather in taverns and other places.

So-called mercenary trade unions, thieves trade unions, and the like cannot exist in a world truly similar to the Middle Ages. Even if it exists, there is a huge gap from what is described in some novels. After all, according to the description, various trade unions can easily contact the organizational power of several cities, and even more than half of the continent, and it is already possible to build a country. How can they be content with pumping water and earning service fees? And the ruler of a country, as long as he has a normal mind, will never allow similar trade union organizations to exist.

Therefore, in a real world similar to the Middle Ages, taverns and hotels are in a sense union task halls. People can find a way to get a job or find someone who can work for them by communicating with the shop owner.

However... Li Cha is currently just looking for a temporary place to stay.

Looking at the shop owner, Li Cha said: "Just give me a room, and the rest of the needs are temporarily unavailable."

"Uh, yes." After listening to Li Cha's words, the innkeeper was not upset because he couldn't make extra money. He still kept a smile, but his efficiency was much higher. He quickly stretched out his hand and said abruptly, "The best room is one silver coin a day, which is one hundred copper coins, and the worst room is five copper coins a day. There are also ten copper coins and fifteen copper coins in the middle. , and twenty and fifty coppers,

look……"

"The best." Li Cha said, handing out a silver coin.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements for you..." The innkeeper said with a smile on his face, and he was about to greet the guy, but his eyes swept over the silver coin in his hand, and the voice suddenly disappeared in his throat, his face His expression froze for a few seconds, and he frowned slightly.

The next moment, the innkeeper looked at Li Cha, his eyes flickered, he still spoke politely, and asked in a long tone, "This—the guest is from another place, isn't he from the Emerald Kingdom?"

"Uh, yes."

"That, it is like this. The price of the room I just mentioned refers to the silver coins circulating in the Emerald Kingdom. It seems that you did not give it to me, but from other countries. Well, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, Maybe your silver coin is more valuable than the silver coin of the Emerald Kingdom, but... this is the Emerald City, not outside the city, nor the rest of the Emerald Kingdom. Some foreign currencies are not well-recognized, and I don't want to take advantage of you... …”

Li Cha listened, nodded, not angry, and had no reason to be angry. After all, just as the entire world does not speak the same language, the entire world does not use the same coin.

It is true that the use of the same language, the same coin, and the same weights and measures facilitates communication. The same culture and the same political system are more conducive to the joint development of each other. But reality is reality after all...

For the currency is not common, Richard has made preparations, so when he left the Blue Lion Kingdom, he brought a small part of gold and silver coins, and more luxury items such as gems. Richard's original plan was to arrive in a strange country and sell gems in exchange for local currency in circulation.

However, considering the many types of currency obtained from the mysterious wizard's iron ring, it is not necessary to take out gems.

Looking at the innkeeper, Li Cha lightly touched the iron ring on his hand, activated it with mana, and flipped it over to reveal another silver coin, "Is this the official circulating silver coin of the Emerald Kingdom?"

The innkeeper shook his head: "Uh, no..."

"That kind of?" Li Cha took out another.

"Uh, it's not..."

"This?"

"Not yet..."

After Li Cha tried the sixth type, he finally found the real official silver coin of the Emerald Kingdom and gave it to the innkeeper.

Seeing that the innkeeper finally accepted it, Li Cha's eyes flickered and asked, "In addition to silver coins, can gold coins be used as well?"

"Uh, of course, as long as it's in the Emerald Kingdom, as long as you have guests. But..." The innkeeper hesitated and said, "But... if the guest is staying for a short time, give me a gold coin. , I have to find you a lot of silver coins, which is inconvenient. Therefore, I suggest you, it is best to pay with silver coins. "
