Chapter 7 The Rhine Empire
could already see the edge of the mountains from the air. Li Ge landed and transformed into a human form. Now is the time to prepare supplies for action in human society.
Li Ge took out the hereditary knight certificate he bought from Xilia, printed the prepared family emblem, a dark golden dragon hovering, which represented that this was a dragon-born family, and signed the name of Li Ge Kraoz, The emblem of the God of Justice shone brightly, and it took a while to return to its original state. This meant that the identity of the hereditary knights of the Ligellein Empire could be found in any temple of the God of Justice.
After the identity is settled, the next step is the equipment. Directly purchase a set of equipment for 10 divine power gold coins in the mall, including a set of leather armor and a two-handed sword, which has reached the sophisticated level. Don't underestimate this set of magic equipment. With Li Ge's innate valuation skills, it is worth at least four thousand gold coins. This shows how conscientious the system is.
This set of equipment is often only qualified for the legitimate sons of great nobles. However, Li Ge's current identity is a dragon-born warrior, so having such equipment is not too outrageous.
The public exchange standard for divine power gold coins in the Rhine Empire is one divine power gold coin for one hundred standard gold coins, but on the black market, it is not uncommon for one divine power gold coin to be exchanged for five hundred standard gold coins.
Li Ge would not exchange divine gold coins for standard gold coins. The gems and gold offered by the kobolds were worth at least more than 2,000 gold coins, and he carried them all with him.
Following the route recorded in the book, Li Ge embarked on a journey, and the newly minted little noble began his first adventure in his life.
"Fuck", Li Ge started to curse for an unknown number of times. There were surprisingly many monsters in the wilderness. After walking for three days and nearly 200 kilometers, Li Ge killed nine waves of bandits. Hobgoblins, trolls, ogres, centaurs, quilboars, gnolls, there are all kinds of monsters.
Looking at the road in front of him, Li Ge breathed a sigh of relief. These monsters were poor and difficult to deal with. The only valuable trophies were the excellent staff of a level 13 ogre wizard and the demonized skin on his body. From the dragon's point of view, the other rags were not worth mentioning. No wonder no one came to clean them up.
The main road is much easier to walk. There are basically no monsters to harass them, and there are quite a few caravans coming and going. These people dare to trade between the Rhine Empire and the foreign races in the wilderness. They cannot survive without some military protection.
There happened to be a caravan resting on the roadside. Li Ge came forward to discuss with the steward and got on the carriage with the price of one gold coin and food and drink. The steward is also a discerning person. Looking at his sophisticated magic equipment and the blood stains on his body, you can tell that he is a noble young warrior who is not easy to mess with.
Finally, he no longer had to walk. Li Ge occasionally talked to the caravan driver on the carriage. This road leads to Frostwolf City, the capital of the Northern Province of the Rhine Empire. It is said that humans defeated the orc Frostwolf tribe that occupied this place and established the Northern Province. In order to show off their military exploits and insult the orcs, Frostwolf City was specially named in the orc style.
The size of the convoy was not small, and the road condition of this road was not good. After entering the northern province, it passed through the territories of some small nobles and wandered around for several days before arriving at Frostwolf City.
The city gate was crowded with caravans, adventurers and civilians entering the city. Legal professionals and nobles had special passages, so there was no need to queue at all.
Li Ge successfully entered Frostwolf City. The city guards were very polite to the nobles, even though Li Ge was just a little knight.
As soon as he entered the city, a group of boys and girls gathered around him, "Master Knight, do you need a guide?" Li Ge's eyes suddenly turned into dark golden vertical slits, and a sense of majesty emanated, and the group of boys and girls immediately stopped. .
These teenagers are not just simple guides. Many of them are informants of gangs and thieves. Li Ge, who is well-equipped and looks like a fledgling noble at first glance, is their favorite.
Li Ge looked at a girl with a scale on her forehead behind the crowd, "It's you, come here, I'll hire you as my guide for one silver coin a day." The girl showed a surprised expression and ran over in a few steps. "Lord Knight, Selina is willing to serve you."
The silver coins here are different from the silver coins in the Li Ge system. In reality, there is no silver coin setting under the divine gold coins.
The living expenses of ordinary civilians may be ten copper coins per day, and the employment fee of one silver coin per day can be said to be a very high salary for an underage girl.
Li Ge chose this girl because he saw that she was alone at the back and was unlikely to be a member of other gangs. On the other hand, this girl had a meager silver dragon bloodline and was a dragonborn.
Li Ge took Selina walking on the street, and asked Selina curiously how she could do such a job as a dragonborn.
Dragonborn are rare on the mainland, and their bloodline determines that it is not difficult to become a professional. Except for some dragon descendants of five-colored dragons, whose nature is relatively evil and disgusting, some temples, mages, and nobles are willing to recruit dragon descendants.
Selena has a good personality and is worthy of being a silver dragonborn. After she was rescued from an evil mage by the clergy of Bahamut, the Good Dragon God, she has been living in the Bahamut Temple in Frostwolf City since she was a child.
Selena, who is now thirteen years old, has not yet taken a job, but she does not want to be idle. In addition to helping clean the temple, she also works part-time as a guide when she is free. With the temple as her back, no one dares to bully her.
Hearing this, Li Ge, who originally wanted to go to an adventurer bar, turned around and asked Selina to take him to Bahamut's temple.
There was a systematic cover-up. If Bahamut hadn't arrived in his true form, he wouldn't have been able to see his true form. At most, he would have been known to be a mutated metal dragon.
In this world, any dragon with a slightly bigger name will be noticed by the two dragon gods. Li Ge doesn't want to compete with the mother of evil dragons, so he might as well get closer to the good dragon god as soon as possible. Bahamut has a good reputation among dragons, and even some evil five-colored dragons respect him. And Tiamat, the mother of evil dragons, has many five-color dragons calling her a bitch behind her back.
Bahamut's temple is located in the temple area. There are dozens of temples in this area. Selina is familiar with the roads and quickly walked into the temple with Li Ge.
Selena was very popular and kept saying hello to some clergy. Li Ge seemed to be a noble warrior professional with good equipment. The man who received Li Ge in the temple was a mid-level priest.
Li Ge briefly paid homage to the statue, and after thinking about it, he placed the captured ogre wizard's staff and demonized skin as tribute in front of the statue. He was a little reluctant to part with gems and gold.
In a great divine kingdom in the distant heaven, a huge platinum dragon opened its eyes wide, "Hey, this little guy is actually a mutated metal dragon. It looks like it has good potential. What's rare is that it's quite generous. He also offered the spoils of war.”
It may be that the system has reduced the greedy nature of the dragon. Apart from Li Ge who prefers gems and gold, he doesn't like these rags very much. In fact, this staff and the magic skin are worth dozens of gold coins.
Most of Bahamut's metal dragon believers just pray a few words to the idol or holy symbol. It is extremely difficult to get the dragon to donate their property, even to the gods they believe in.
