The Highland Barbarian, Rosinde, brought back up by the Drow, stared blankly at the 1,243 Gold Coins, 52 silver coins, and 7 copper coins piled up not far in front of him on the Dragon Nest.
This was all the cash David had left after sending the Drow to trade for camp supplies. It was also the sum of the few treasures currently in David's claws.
Although a hoard of over a thousand Gold Coins was not a small amount, even for his Rosinde tribe, this small pile of gold paled in comparison to the empty Dragon Nest behind it and the stern, towering Red Dragon...
It wasn't just Rosinde, who was about to become a sworn retainer; even David, the organizer of this retainer ritual, felt a bit mortified, especially with several Dragons and Drow witnessing it.
