"Thank you, sir."
The currency of the Norsines continent still uses the ancient decimal system, with the largest crowe, followed by the kith, and the smallest topi, one crowe is equal to twelve kis, and one kiss is equal to twelve topi.Each currency comes in three forms, one, two, and five, and all of them are metal money.At the same time, banknotes were also in circulation, but so far they were more often used among the upper classes and chambers of commerce, and relatively rarely among the common people.In Hoden's memory, he had never used paper money, because whether it was exchanged for metal money, or vice versa, it was necessary to pay a fee to the bank, which was obviously something that the two brothers could not afford for the time being; Moreover, they don't have that much deposit either.At this time, Holden had three kies and six toops in his pocket.Taking out a toe from his pocket, he gently brushed it and handed it to the newsboy, Hoden asked seemingly inadvertently, "Last night I seemed to hear a commotion from the northeast, so noisy that I couldn't sleep, the movement was really not small, do you know what happened?"
”"AhhAre you talking about the fire in Viscount Philo's private residence?
There is not much news at the moment, the specific news report is on the sixth page, and the incident is still under investigation, but I heard that it was an accident, when Viscount Philo was cultivating, there was an accident and detonated the weapon kept in the storage room, which led to a series of explosions. ”Speaking of this, the newsboy lowered his voice and approached Howlen, as if he was about to say something secret - the newsboy's height was also near Howlen's waist, which made Hoden have to bend down and lean down, and then the newsboy's low voice came from his ears, "It is rumored that there are prohibited items in those weapons, so the security team and the Umani Church have teamed up to block the news, and they are ready to investigate the whole matter with their own hands." ”Without waiting for Hoden to respond, the newsboy winked at Hoden, as if to say: This is a bonus message; Then he turned and ran."
You'll have good luck, sir."
The crisp and childish cry of the newsboy followed the wind, and immediately afterwards he began to sell again, and his figure was drowned in the noisy crowd."
The 'Iwabuchi Mainichi Shimbun', the latest, fastest and most exciting news, should not be missed!
You don't want to miss out on today's front page headlines, so don't regret it. ”Newspapers are always the best way to quickly grasp a city and a microcosm of society, even the gossip after dinner, especially for the newcomer Hoden, who still has a lot to learn before he can fully adapt to the place.After buying the newspaper, Horden did not immediately start reading, but rolled the newspaper into a tube, held it in his hand, and walked in the direction of the light rail.He needed to change direction and go to the Umani church.The churches of the Norsnes continent are a very important part of the daily life of society, and are divided into seven major churches according to the different gods of their respective beliefs: Umani, the god of light, Tamzi, the goddess of darkness, Og, the goddess of water, Ahanna, the goddess of fire, Pomafu, the goddess of wind, Dota, the goddess of thunder, and Shuma, the goddess of earth.According to legend, when the heavens and the earth first opened, there was only chaos, and then chaos separated the two first male gods of light and darkness with a loud explosion of the universe, and they tore the chaos apart, and the fragments coalesced into the five elements that make up the world, and these five goddesses worked together to create all things.This is the first era of the Norsnes continent, the Chaos Era, also known as the "Age of the Bright Gods", more than 6,000 years ago.Over time, adherents of each deity formed their own church, named after the deity, which continues to this day.There is no hostile relationship between the various churches, every believer is free to choose his faith and church, if he wishes, there is no effect on choosing more than one church, but he usually chooses one church to worship and pray; However, there are still slight differences in the number of believers between different churches, especially the relationship between the church and the aristocracy, and the noble believers are all striving for the goal.Remember the key news just now?"
The little princess of the Deca family is sure to be baptized by the goddess Pomafu on the first of next month."
On the mainland, the most popular among the aristocracy was the Umani Church, while the most popular among the commoners were the Augur Church and the Shuma Church.Of course, there are slight differences between different regions and different cities.For example, the largest church in Iwabysa is Tamqi - the male god of darkness, Tamqi is known as the "male god of knowledge", who rules wisdom and death; The Umani Church, the Og Church, and the Shuma Church, among others, are dwarfed.As planned, Hodden was going to buy a newspaper and head to the Iwabuchi Library to search for some information.But according to the newsboy, in the case of Viscount Philo's private residence, the security forces and the Umani Church jointly blocked the news, is there any connection between it?
Or is it just a false rumor?
Either way, Hoden needs to go some digging and maybe find some clues.The Umani Church has several churches of all sizes in Iwabuchi, the largest of which is the main church, which is not far from the Iwabuchi Library.So, Hodden only had to take a slight diversion, first to the main church of the Umani Church, and then to the Iwabuchi Library, and that would be no problem.From Princes Street, it takes more than 50 minutes to walk to the Iwabuchi Library and Umani Church in Midtown; However, it only takes 15 minutes to opt for the light rail.When Horden saw the fare for the light rail, two toops, he blinked slightly, a little heartbroken.One tos, then two, it felt like his wallet was about to bottom out, and lunch and dinner hadn't been settled yet, but Hoden didn't hesitate to buy a light rail ticket: if it had been Hoden, he would have chosen to walk — at least, his thirty-five-minute walk to high school would have been done twice a day, in the morning and evening.But now Howlden, it's a tough choice, but the outcome hasn't changed, and he refuses to walk for 50 minutes to save two pallets.Walking into the old red leather carriage, Horden did not go into the box to look for a seat, but pulled out a bench against the wall in the corridor aisle, sat down against the window, and then opened the newspaper, his eyes fell on the front page headlines, blinked, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook an arc: "Baron Alexander's youngest son eloped with his stepmother hand in hand!"
”The large black lead title has a powerful visual impact, and it seems to be showing the bloody storm inside Baron Alexander's family.Originally, there was a fire in the middle of the night last night, and the news was able to be seen in the morning newspaper this morning, which means that journalism is very thriving, even if it takes a toke per newspaper - compared to the price of light rail fares, this is obviously a very expensive price; But the work of the newsboy still does not touch the ground, which also makes Holden have more hope for the newspaper.However, the headlines on the front page were shocking.Sure enough, no matter when or where, is it always gossip that cares the most?
After browsing with relish, Holden still shook his head slightly: the level of storytelling still needs to be strengthened, not enough ups and downs and not scary enough, and he is used to seeing the headline party and gossip party in the Internet era, and the popularity of this newspaper in front of him is naturally greatly reduced.Immediately afterward, Hodden opened the newspaper, found the sixth page, and scanned up and down, successfully finding a palm-sized report in the center.As the newsboy said, this is a very simple and objective report, describing the accident that broke out in the fire at the private residence of Viscount Philo last night.In the second half of the report, it was stated that the preliminary investigation results of the security forces showed that this was an accident that no one wanted, and that Viscount Philo had unfortunately died, but no other casualties had been found for the time being; The specific cause of the accident needs to be further investigated, and the results of the investigation will be announced by the authorities at that time.First, Viscount Philo died?
But Hoden found no other figures or bodies at the scene - of course, the situation was so urgent that he didn't search every corner.Second, there is no mention of the presence of others.At least, Holden's name is not mentioned for the time being.()
