To be able to circulate in various human nations, this already has the meaning of an international currency.
If there truly was the Platinum Dragon Lord pushing this behind the scenes, or if it was his doing, it wouldn't be impossible.
Nolan simply thought for a moment, then came back to his senses, reaching out to press down the head of the Little Evil Spirit Dog, which was baring its fangs.
"Woof," the Little Evil Spirit Dog whimpered.
Clink~
The platinum coin was put back into the money pouch, colliding with other platinum coins, emitting a crisp and pleasant jingle.
"You also know that the emotions of magical beasts are not easy to control," Nolan said, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, a hint of apologetic smile on his face.
Whether it was the Platinum Dragon Lord's doing or not, thinking too much about it now was meaningless.
For long-lived races that have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years, their way of thinking is already beyond what short-lived beings can comprehend. To ponder what they are thinking without sufficient information is simply asking for trouble.
"Understood, understood," the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, quickly responding.
"I want to post a quest, I need to go to the front desk…" Nolan suddenly began.
The middle-aged man said, "For such a small matter, I can directly handle it for you, sir."
As a Chanting Caster with appraisal abilities in the Adventurers' Guild, capable of using second-tier magic, his talent, although limited, meant his status was not low.
Such trivial quests could be directly handed over to his subordinates, and he shouldn't need to personally oversee them.
The reason he was so attentive this time, besides having just completed a large transaction worth 720 gold coins, was that there were some matters he needed to privately confirm with the black-haired young man in front of him.
"The quest is to find a Magic Caster who possesses 'Decipher Magic,'" Nolan said softly, "My intention is, preferably as soon as possible."
Before heading to the Baharuth Empire, he had many things to prepare. Besides the issue of money, the most urgent problem to solve was his illiteracy.
As long as he was in human society, not being able to read would always cause a lot of trouble. The simplest way to solve this problem was to learn.
Leaving aside whether the written languages of various human nations were completely identical, learning a completely unfamiliar writing system would already be a headache for Nolan, who was a poor student in his previous life.
Not to mention the time it would take.
"Decipher Magic" could analyze various texts and translate them into a meaning the user could understand. Since there was such a convenient magic, there was naturally no need to waste time.
Alternatively, he could acquire a "Scholar"-type profession, which also had similar skills in this regard.
"'Decipher Magic'?"
"Quite a rare magic indeed," the middle-aged man's face showed a thoughtful expression.
After a brief silence.
"This type of magic is mostly used for the study of some extinct nations from a hundred years ago. I do know a few people who have mastered this magic."
"It's just…"
At this point, the middle-aged man's face showed a troubled expression, "These people are not short on money. If you, sir, can wait, I do know someone in the Royal Capital."
"However, inviting that person here would take at least two months or more, and the remuneration would also have to be above 50 gold coins."
Hearing this answer.
Nolan shook his head, "Money is not an issue, but the time is too long."
He couldn't stay in E-Rantel for such a long time.
Based on the current timeline.
The future Imperial Four Knights' "Heavy Crusher" Leinas Rockbruise had not yet been recruited by the Blood Emperor to join the Four Knights.
She should have just been driven out of her family not long ago and was currently wandering somewhere, looking for a way to lift the curse that was a side effect of the "Cursed Knight" profession.
When Nolan arrived at the Baharuth Empire, he would still need to expend some effort to find Leinas Rockbruise, and he certainly wouldn't waste a lot of time in E-Rantel.
Seeing Nolan shake his head in immediate refusal.
The middle-aged man leaned back slightly, a smile appearing on his face, "There is also someone in E-Rantel who possesses this magic."
"However, this information is worth ten gold coins."
Swish!
Nolan expressionlessly reached into the money pouch on the table, pulled out ten gold coins from the pouch containing gold coins, and placed them in front of the middle-aged man.
"The Vice-Guildmaster of the Magic Caster's Guild, Master Berrory Wannof Grigori Botkin."
The middle-aged man said this with a hint of reverence:
"He possesses 'Decipher Magic,' but he rarely makes public appearances."
"Although he is the Vice-Guildmaster of the Magic Caster's Guild, it's more in name only; even our Guildmaster finds it difficult to meet him."
At the end, the middle-aged man shrugged.
The meaning was clear.
Nolan's mouth twitched imperceptibly.
The Guildmaster of E-Rantel's Magic Caster's Guild was named Theo Rakesheer, and this Vice-Guildmaster was the first he had heard of.
Since even the Adventurers' Guildmaster couldn't meet him, Nolan didn't believe he had the ability to do so.
Ten gold coins had bought him information that seemed useful but was actually completely useless.
Since that was the case.
It seemed he could only consider other methods. He wondered if there were any magical tools that could translate text?
Nolan was about to stand up and leave.
"Please wait a moment, sir," the middle-aged man quickly said.
"These two Evil Spirit Dog bone chains, you must have obtained them from hunting in the Great Forest of Tob, correct?"
"I wonder if you could inform us about the current situation within the Great Forest of Tob? Regardless of whether the information is accurate, these ten gold coins will be considered an information fee."
"If you can provide us with important information, we will pay an additional fee, ensuring your satisfaction."
The middle-aged man spoke while pushing the ten gold coins on the table back towards Nolan.
Nolan looked at the ten gold coins in front of him, then at the respectful middle-aged man opposite him.
Good, good, good.
Playing this trick.
"The situation in the Great Forest of Tob…"
Nolan put the gold coins back into his money pouch, and under the middle-aged man's expectant gaze, he stood up and said indifferently:
"I don't know."
After speaking.
Leaving the middle-aged man stunned, Nolan left the room with the Little Evil Spirit Dog.
"It seems the information I provided earlier was not satisfactory."
The middle-aged man looked at the departing Nolan, giving a bitter smile, then reached out to adjust his monocle, a sharp glint in his eyes,
"A Little Evil Spirit Dog, and two adult Evil Spirit Dog bone chains. No matter how you look at it, he must have entered the Great Forest of Tob."
"Should I report to the Guildmaster and send another adventurer team to investigate… No, forget it. Since the higher-ups have already reached a conclusion, it's fine as long as it doesn't affect the border villages."
"The lower-level adventurers need to be simply appeased. The real trouble now is something else…"
