Chapter 16: Split (1/2)
”Sir, I sold the crystals!” Without any spoils to sell in the first place, Layn decided that following after the leader of the group seemed to be the most rational choice. And soon, his guess proved to be correct. While everyone else was busy rushing around the war camp, Karter quickly moved to a nearby stone building. With just a single glance inside, Layn's lips curved up.
'I guess some things remain the same, be it now or ages and ages in the future.' Letting out a gentle chuckle, Layn followed into the stone building. In the instant he crossed the doors, a joyful atmosphere of the Inn overwhelmed him. Feeling as if he has returned to the times of his heroics, he quickly found the way to the table when Karter laid his body down.
And it was here, where the rest of the group soon started to report in.
”Sir, the carcass of those three ungraded monsters went for seven gold pieces in total!”
”Sir, I managed to sell those medicinal herbs we gathered for eighteen huge coins!”
”Sir, the stale water…”
”Sir, the voice of the spring…”
”Sir…”
One by one, the group quickly converged at the inn, presenting all their earnings to the leader. Soon, the archmage managed to make a sense of what the local currency was.
Starting with the smallest denomination, there was a copper coin. Judging from how many other names all the other coins had, it was inevitable that ancients had some other ways of calling it, but as it appeared only once, Layn had no way of learning it for now.
After the copper coin, came the silver one, also called a medium coin, standard coin or flux. As for the origin of its last name, Layn couldn't even begin to imagine it. In the end, there was still a chance it was some mistake of his translating spell, so the archmage decided to just disregard it.
Past the silver coins, the golden coins appeared. Whether there were some further divisions of the golden coins, Layn couldn't really tell. Outside of its most direct name, people tend to call them huge coins, gold pieces and a word that his translating spell failed to translate altogether, sounding along the lines of a 'cow'.
