Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

Silver dinar coins, the common currency minted by the empire.

Compared with Orioux gold coins, which are rare and have varying gold content in different production years, dinar silver coins relied on their circulation and stable quality to become the main trading currency throughout the empire and even the countries surrounding the empire.

That is to say, some large-scale transactions, such as purchasing territories/cities, will use Oriu, a currency with a high premium... It is precisely because of Oriu's premium problem that dinars are often used in the end. Settlement.

When he first came into contact with the world's monetary system, Milin thought he had arrived in ancient Rome.

After much experience, Milin determined that this world was just a world very similar to the ancient Roman era.

Because two groups of unreliable mercenaries have been arrested, the three surrounding villages have offered a reward of 1,167 dinars of silver to solve the gang of bandits entrenched in the forest.

As for why the bounty is scattered, it can only be said that this is all the money that several villages harassed by deserters, bandits and hostile forces can come up with.

Such a high bounty is enough for the small nobles who own the territory to come here with their private soldiers to make extra money.

But unfortunately, due to the civil strife in the empire, several nearby nobles with surnames were waiting for ransom in the prisoner-of-war camp, which allowed Milin, a mercenary, to earn this extra money.

What's even more pity is that because of a careless guy walking away alone, this huge sum of money could not stay in Milin's hands for long.

In his hand, he was playing with an Oriu gold coin that was more like a collectible than a currency for trading. It was issued by the last supreme consul during the Empire or Republic period. Milin looked at him with an expressionless face and a smile on his face. red-haired girl Alori.

As the gold coins rolled in the air, Alori, who had taken off the armor that was tied into a porcupine, leaving only a layer of scaly inner armor, the playful expression that he originally wanted to take credit for gradually disappeared.

Alori, who had been traveling with Milin for several months, knew very well that Milin's gesture was to show that he was angry.

The only change was the rolling coins in his hands, from copper sesterti coins to silver dinar coins, and now to the commemorative Orio gold coins.

In the constant low pressure, Alori looked at the gray girl standing next to Milin with pleading eyes, hoping that the gray girl, who was also Milin's adjutant, could put in a good word for him.

Unfortunately, the gray girl, whose face was even more indifferent than Milin, completely ignored Alori's look for help and ignored the various conditions for help added in his eyes.

"Tsk" After asking for help to no avail, he could only complain in his heart that his colleagues were indeed ruthless. Alori withdrew his gaze and looked at Milin with a pitiful look again.

Milin, who has been through too many experiences and has become immune to this pitiful appearance, moved his eyes to the armor piled around the girl with an indifferent expression.

The arrows densely scattered on it made the dismantled armor look more like a porcupine lying on the ground.

Because they penetrate too deep, unless some destructive operations are performed, these arrows will remain forever on this set of locking plate and scale three-in-one armor, which may be the only one in the entire continent.

"I...I will repair it, Master." Alori, who knew exactly how much this three-in-one armor was worth, said in a weak voice.

In order to gain forgiveness, she even called Milin "master".

Hearing Alori address himself as "Master", Milin's hand shook and Oriou, who was fluttering in his hand, almost fell to the ground.

According to Alori's past habits, she would only choose one of the nouns "boss", "boss" and "head" to call Milin.

Sometimes when he is drunk, he will even call Milin directly as "big brother".

Milin put away the Oriwu, lest he couldn't help but use this gold coin that could be exchanged for an entire village as a throwing weapon to hit Alori on the forehead. Milin sighed helplessly and said:

"Then do you know how much it costs to repair a damaged set of infantry armor?"

"How much...how much do you need?" Seeing Milin finally respond, Alori, who was slightly relieved but immediately became nervous, asked doubtfully.

Seeing the undisguised expression of confusion on Alori's face, Milin shook his head helplessly.

Before the confusion on Alori's face evolved into confusion, the gray girl who was guarding Milin and whose main job was usually the logistics manager said:

"Because there is no corresponding armor-piercing technology in this world, it will cost at least five hundred dinars just to train craftsmen."

"I can learn! I can forge!" Alori said immediately when he heard the number five hundred dinars and his whole body was excited.

Without responding to Alori's words, the gray girl continued:

"At the same time, there is no metal technology suitable for armor plates in this world. The technical integration starting from smelting will cost at least three thousand dinars."

The gray girl paused as she spoke an astonishing number, as if giving Alori time to digest it.

However, before Alori could finish digesting it, the gray girl added insult to injury and continued:

"And this is just the foundation. If you want to form a complete industry, the cost will range from ten to a hundred times. If you include the subsequent combat logistics needs..."

five hundred? Three thousand? ten times? hundred times? Alori, who was frightened by the numbers, had mosquito coils in his eyes.

"Wuna Hui Feng, are you trying to trick me?" Alori, whose mind was in confusion, suddenly changed from a Western dragon to an Eastern dragon.

"I have no need to make up lies." The gray girl known as Gray Wind continued to say indifferently.

"Ahem..." Although he knew that Gray Wind was cooperating with him, the idea of ​​establishing an armor industry chain just to repair a set of armor was indeed too much.

Although Alori sometimes seemed a little stupid due to the sauropod walnut brain, he was not really stupid. He would definitely realize later that Gray Wind was exaggerating on purpose.

"Master~~~" Alori, who had not yet reacted, looked at Milin with tears in his eyes, as if he had deeply realized his mistake.

Although he knew that Alori's look of profound realization of his mistake would not last more than an hour, Milin still had something to say and sighed again and said:

"Do you know why I spent so much money to get you a set of armor like this?"

"To show off... so that I can fight better?" Alori, who almost said "To show off those natives to death," quickly changed his words.

"..." Milin, who understood what Alori wanted to say, finally couldn't help but throw the Oriu in his hand as a throwing weapon.

Then he said angrily to Alori, who was squatting on the ground with his forehead covered:

"It's to protect you, idiot! Do you think I'm really reluctant to part with the armor money? What I'm angry about is that you didn't obey orders and came here alone!"

"Didn't I bring four people with me?" Alori said weakly, holding his head and squatting on defense.

"...But you are facing at least thirty forest bandits! You are still at the opponent's home court. You have won today. What if you don't win one day and I don't have time to come over?"

"What's more, even if you win, what will you do if you are injured somewhere? You know, I don't have antibiotics for you in this day and age."

Hearing Alori still defending, Milin looked around as if looking for more throwing weapons.

Gray Feng, who maintained an indifferent expression, picked up the flail still stained with red liquid and handed it towards Milin.

"..." Milin, whose eyes lingered on the flail with strange tissue attached to it for a while, patted his forehead and said with some sadness:

"Forget it, it's not the first time, and I believe it won't be the last time."

"Hee hee! I knew the boss loved me the most." After hearing Milin's words, Alori, who was squatting with his head in his arms and pretending to be pitiful, immediately returned to his original playful smile mode and stood up and said:

"Besides, I'm a dragon. How can a dragon want antibiotics?"

"...Kneel down!" Milin, whose blood pressure was already rising again, said directly to Alori in a commanding tone.

Without waiting for his consciousness to react, Alori knelt down and once again pretended to be pitiful like a face changer in a Sichuan opera.

Milin, who ignored Alori's pitiful look, continued to say in a commanding tone:

"When will I find that Oriu and will I be able to stand up?"

"Ah..." Alori, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the surrounding weeds and shrubs with a horrified expression.

"Don't ask others for help!" Milin patted his chest and tried to control his emotions.

Seeing that Milin didn't take back the order, Alori had no choice but to keep kneeling and look for the gold coin that Milin had just used as a throwing weapon to hit her in the head.
