Breaking the shell (2)

Aldrich held the coin closer to his eye and nodded in thought, "this is definitely real imperial gold."

"This must be the lighthouse's keeper's life savings," Frank suggested, "we must return it to his family members."

"Eh? I don't know about that…" Nathan countered, "the rules of adventurers state that anything that was not specifically mentioned in the quest is ours by right."

"You can't be seriously trying to take a whole family's inheritance," Frank argued.

"The quest is not over you two," Aldrich intervened, "I will decide after the quest, now think about this how did a lighthouse keeper of a small town make that kind of money?"

Nathan and Frank's expressions shifted, that's right. A single gold coin was equivalent to thirty silver coins, it was a big amount even in Voryhrm. And yet the found two here?

"Maybe he saved his money over all the years he worked and later converted them into gold?" Frank asked. Of he thought of the most optimistic possibility first.
