Chapter 261: Accepting Missions (1/2)
There was a nearby city not far from the Mountain and they all headed to that location. It was a different city from the one where they took their mission before. The city was fairly big but Lin Xiao could sense the high tension even from a distance away.
He could see that the guards were looking at them full of hostility as if they owed a thousand gold coins to them.
Lin Xiao was confused.
”We're mercenary from Sun Kingdom,” Prince Lin Yan took his identification letter. He handed it to the guards who read the letter seriously. After a minute, they handed it back and nodded.
”You may go.”
”Thank you.” Prince Lin Yan smiled and slipped a coin when he took the letter back. The guard's expression didn't change but there was a faint glimmer in his eyes when he sensed the coins.
As the group entered the city, Lin Xiao asked, ”Why do you do that?”
”It's to earn their favorable impression. Mercenary are the one who can travel between countries easily so it's hard to know whether they're spies or not. Because of that, those high ranked noble will usually do some background check to make sure that the person they're facing comes from their country.”
Prince Lin Yan naturally knew more about this matter. He might be a high ranking cultivator, but he also traveled to many places over the years. His eyes narrowed. ”It's fine if you don't but you better strike good relationship with the guards whenever you can because it can be crucial at some times.”
Prince Lin San chuckled. ”Don't worry too much about it. For us, that kind of money didn't worth much anymore. You wouldn't be able to use any copper, silver, nor gold coins for our needs.”
Hearing that, Lin Xiao paused for a moment. Indeed, cultivators would not care about those monies because what they cared the most was spirit stones. The currency they used most of the time was Spirit Stone since it can also be used for their cultivation.
The only reason why they still had money of other value was simply so that they could blend in with others.
But in terms of value… they didn't worth much in the eyes of cultivators.
They could exchange almost anything they have for millions of gold coins and it was still within the limit. It was clear that money was the least of the worry for cultivators.
Of course, that was only when one was speaking about the gold. If they were talking about Spirit stones… that would be a completely different story. A lot of cultivators were working hard to make sure that they could earn enough Spirit Stones to aid their cultivation.
”I see.”
”We're here.”
Prince Lin Yan led them inside. Right now, they looked a bit strange as they all dressed in ordinary clothes with black robe draped over them. Princess Lan Yi Hua was even using the hood to cover her face because there might be people who could recognize her.
The people inside only passed a glance to them once before they resumed back to their own business. There were a lot of people who came to the mercenary hall and they had no interest to pay close attention to everyone who came inside like that.
