The Death List Novel - Chapter 657
Chapter 657 Lucky Gold Coin
The item that Great Sage Lenny called the Luck Gold Coin was also called the Misfortune Gold Coin. It was about the size of an ordinary gold coin, but there was no portrait of the Goddess of Wealth, Wo Jin. On the front was the goddess of luck, Tamora, who was holding the Scepter, and on the back was the black antler with a blood-red background. This was the holy emblem of the doomed girl Ben Saba.
When Qin Lun received the Luck Gold Coin, the Broken Star System didn’t give him any hints, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. After teleporting to the underground cavern, he understood that Miriam could no longer retrieve the gold coin. He finally had time to ask Great Sage Lenny about the gold coin.
According to Lenny, this gold coin was not rumored to have been made by an intelligent race. Rather, it was made from divine blood splashed down by the goddess of luck and the girl of misfortune when they were fighting.
The number of lucky gold coins dropped to the mortal world was unknown, but it was obvious that the amount was very small and very precious. Because the Luck Gold Coin was made up of the blood of two goddesses, it also possessed the weak divine abilities of two goddesses.
There was a time in Ferren Continent when the search for a lucky gold coin surged, because its owners swore that it brought them good luck. Everything these people did seemed to go smoothly, as if Luck had been watching them and praying for their blessings.
However, there were both positive and negative sides to everything. After a period of time, these people who boasted that they were favored by the goddess of luck began to have extremely bad luck. Not only did he lose his previous good luck, he also felt as if he was being pestered by a bad luck girl. Everything he did would be done with half the effort. He could even choke to death if he stepped on dog shit, was hit by a car, and drank a mouthful of plain water.
It wasn’t until then that people realized that lucky gold coins could bring not only good luck but also bad luck.
They did not receive any attention from any goddess, but the Luck Gold Coin turned the luck of a smooth line into a wavy line, resulting in the peak of good luck and the valley of bad luck.
Luck gold coins are useless in the hands of ignorant people, because after good luck comes bad luck. However, in the eyes of some wise men, the Luck Gold Coin still had an irreplaceable value.
For example, a war broke out between two countries. In a decisive battle, a monarch used a lucky gold coin. So the king’s army won, and the king himself was shot on the battlefield.
Another example was an adventurer who encountered an irresistible magical beast during his expedition. Originally, he was going to be eaten, but at the critical moment, he wore a lucky gold coin. As a result, the magical beast slipped under its feet and fell off the cliff while chasing after it. The adventurer was lucky enough to be saved. However, after his return, this adventurer was beset with misfortune and would not be able to turn around for a few years.
Evidently, these two examples are typical of being small and broad, and this is where the value of a lucky gold coin lies. It allows users to concentrate their luck at critical moments and then spread the consequences evenly over future years or a small number of people, reducing the damage to tolerable levels.
After receiving this information from Great Sage Lenny, a notification finally sounded from Qin Lun’s death list. The reason why there was no notification was because the Luck Gold Coin was an unknown treasure and had not been appraised.
As for Great Sage Lenny, she had been recognized as an authoritative figure by the Broken Star System. She had given an appraisal of the explanation of the Luck Gold Coin in disguise, so the Luck Gold Coin had become an appraised treasure, and a proper introduction had appeared.
The introduction of the gold coins was basically what Great Sage Lenny had said. However, Qin Lun did not dare to carry the Luck Gold Coins with him for the time being because he had not yet figured out the laws of the Luck Gold Coins. Only after a few insignificant experiments and understanding the laws would he be able to truly use them.
‘”Tsk tsk, that silver dragon has indeed given me a good item. Unfortunately, this item’s ability belongs to this world god. If it is brought to the Shattered Universe or other worlds, it will lose its effect. Otherwise, it would be comparable to a divine artifact.” Hill gently touched the gold coin, and after receiving the instructions, he stopped moving it.
After a night of silence, Mustacha left early the next morning, saying that she was sending messages to her fellow harpists and searching for Santalin’s movements in the Silvermoon Alliance.
At noon, Mastasia came back. Highland Elves’s face was filled with joy. He waved his small hand and led everyone on their journey again. “Let’s go. I’ve got some news. We’re heading to Silvermoon City right now.”
Nesmai City was close to the Sabrin River, and there was a small port just north of the city. This port mainly relied on mineral cargo. Of course, there were also small passenger boats because the Sabrin River passed through many areas, and Silvermoon City was located more than a hundred miles to the east.
Mastasia, who had contacted her harpsichord companion, was rich this time. She heroically chartered a brig with more than fifty passengers and brought everyone upstream to Silvermoon City.
Because the journey was very smooth, they arrived at Silvermoon City earlier than everyone had expected. After two days of waterways, they saw the huge outline of Silvermoon City at noon the next day.
Silvermoon City was situated on the northern bank of the River Riven, a tributary of the Sabrin River. The city wall was bent into a crescent shape against the river and covered the bank like a felt hat. It also has a small portion on the south bank of the River Rivon, with a wide dock and a magical arch bridge called the Moon Bridge.
The bridge could only be seen in the moonlight, and the central arch could be concealed by magic, allowing invaders attacking cities from the south bank to fall into the river, or allowing ships with too high a mast to navigate under the bridge.
Silvermoon City was the core city of the Silvermoon Alliance. Among the surface cities in the entire northern region, its status was only second to Deepwater City. Because the city was filled with ancient buildings left behind by the Netheril Empire and the wealth of the city, it was called the “treasure of the Northern Region” by the various races in the Northern Region. Its property had always been peeked at by the Santalin Society.
Silvermoon City is a prosperous and bustling city. People like trees, music and art. Tall oaks and beautiful stone buildings can be seen everywhere in the city. Many ancient oaks that were over a thousand years old could even compare to the city walls. This could be considered the only city on the surface that was not part of the Elves race.
If other cities had such a magnificent oak tree, they would probably have been chopped down long ago to make furniture.
On both sides of the city streets, there were slender spires of ancient buildings with smooth curves on the surface. Many of the windows and attics of the buildings were wrapped in a layer of colorful glass. This architectural style dates back to the time of the Elves Empire in Jersey, with pebbles paved on both sides of the street covered with slate pavements under the shade of trees.
Here, balconies and spiral stairs can be seen everywhere, windowsill, railings and pillars are decorated with flowers and green vines planted in wooden bowls, which is the habit of Elven druid. Many residents of Silvermoon City play harps, wind tunes or chant poems, and the artistic atmosphere can sometimes create the illusion of being in a paradise.
The most distinguished people in Silvermoon City are scholars and artists, and the vast majority of the inhabitants are proud to have mastered at least one art profession. The inhabitants are mostly humans, Elves, semi-Elves and Dwarves. They read ballads, poems and romantic novels, talk humorously and share jokes, knowledge and music.
In addition to art and music, most people in Silvermoon City have another hobby: hosting and attending carnivals and dances, and this city has probably the largest variety of dances and celebrations in the whole continent.
The shops in the city were stylish, compact and comfortable, filled with beautiful handicrafts and magical items.
As the undoubtedly intellectual and cultural center of the Northern Region, Silvermoon City welcomes almost all intelligent races to join them. The safety of the city was due to the Silvermoon Alliance’s many powerful mages and druids, as well as the large number of Rangers.
They were standing beside the Lady of Hope who shaped Silvermoon, the elect of the goddess of magic and the daughter of God, Elastor Silverhand. She launched many celebratory banquets and carnivals, pleasing the various city lords of the Alliance, but at the same time, she gradually gained their trust, making the entire Silvermoon Alliance slowly grow into a united country.
In fact, this was also the main reason why Santalin had placed the murder plan on the grand celebration. In a sense, it was this carnival that created the harmonious atmosphere in Silvermoon City. Once the celebration was tainted by blood and murder, one could imagine how much damage it would cause to the Silvermoon Alliance that was about to be established.
Elaszo’s palace fused into the city’s eastern walls, east of the open-air mall, guarded by casters loyal to her and skilled warriors.
She hoped that civilized laws would ensure a happy and hopeful life for the inhabitants, but she also knew that tricks, deception and evil were inevitable, so she had long since established and trained the backbone of the private guards to fight against these evil organizations, especially the Santalin Society in the east.
Silvermoon City has many famous bars and hotels on the continent because of its celebrations. Waving Blades of Glory, Dancing Goat, Dwarves Tavern, Hammer and Helmet, Golden Oak, etc. Most of the comfortable taverns and inns are located in Sunset Alley, Moon Road and High Axe Alley on the north bank of the River Rivon.
There were quite a few important buildings and sites in Silvermoon City, such as the Moon Bridge connecting the north and south sides of the river. A magical barrier in the inner city controlled by the six sisters of the Northern Lands; The supreme palace where Elaszo lived; The Star Court that concluded the alliance lord contract, and so on.
The inhabitants of Silvermoon worshipped several benevolent gods who guarded the city, especially the forest and ranger goddess Merrick and the unicorn goddess Laurie. They attached great importance to theological education and constantly sought the support of priests from the good factions of order and the druids of nature.
Silvermoon City was filled with magnificent temples, ancient temples and sacred woodlands-the Hall of Inspiration, the Invincible Hall, the Silverstar Temple, and the open space of Merrick.
The Hall of Inspiration belonged to the God of Knowledge-Ogma and the Chanting Goddess-Mille, the Invincible Hall belonged to the God of Guards-Heim, and the Silver Star Temple belonged to the God of Literature-Diner. This temple sometimes had some minor conflicts with the Hall of Inspiration, mainly the clerical conflicts between the gods.
Of all the temples, the most interesting is Melicai’s clearing, an open-air woodland of faith in Melicai. The territory was surrounded by ferns and berry bushes, green moss in the middle, and an ancient hollow oak tree with a portal connected to the Temple of Merykay on the north bank.
