Chapter 76 - A little shopping spree
There isn’t much to say about Alderbury besides ’it’s a nice countryside town.’ It’s as unremarkable as Evergrove.
Or it would be, for the seasoned traveler. Not for me.
You know, ever since I came to this world, I’ve experienced a lot of game-y stuff like magic, levels, and the absurd system screen.
What I haven’t experienced properly is true medieval living. And I’m starving for it.
I got a little taste of it back in Evergrove, and I’m thrilled to have another taste today.
Again, it’s only me and Lovelace. Now that we know about the Network looking for my mother, we have one more reason to not get in the city with her.
Our mission today is partly to do something about exactly that. But before, we need to transform some of our loot into cash.
We sell the jewels in a shop near the Adventurer’s Guild and the amulet in an alchemist’s shop in the same plaza.
The country has a four-tier system of coinage. The lowest of all is the copper, and ten coppers make a bronze.
Most people will live their entire lives basically handling only coppers and bronzes. From Mother, we learned that the inn we paid for was a bit overpriced, at two bronzes per night for a whole room.
Most people don’t have the luxury of paying for inns anyway. That’s the whole reason the adventurers’ camps exist, after all.
