Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval Castles: A Guide to Not Freezing Your Timely Assets
So, you've managed to travel back in time to the Middle Ages. Congratulations! Now, you've got a problem: your bank account has been frozen in the ice age. Literally. It seems the local villagers have decided to store their valuables in a giant ice box. And yours is right next to the dragon's hoard. Don't worry, we've got you covered!
Here's what you need to know to survive this medieval mess:
- Don't try to pay with credit cards; they won't work. (Or, let's be honest, you probably won't have any)
- Learn to haggle. It's a medieval art form. You'll be surprised how often a simple "I'll give you three goats for a loaf of bread" can get you out of a tight spot
- Don't drink the "good water" from the well; it's just a euphemism for "the water's been sitting there since the Norman Conquest"
- And, for the love of all that is sane, do not, I repeat, DO NOT, try to pay with cryptocurrency. The villagers will think you're trying to hex them with dark magic.
