Chapter 238 Trader
Dr3713-01-20, 8:00 a.m. Silver City Time, 15:00 midnight Satre Time. After the three Silver Cities where the Wolf Legion had entered Tyre Stronghold, Dark Night Town, which was situated on the edge of the Dark Jungle, welcomed a new day …
On this day, the town’s goods market was as bustling as ever, with heavy traffic. The workers were carrying all kinds of goods in carts, shuttling back and forth between the crude wooden cabins and the canvas tents, like diligent ants.
At this moment, in a small grocery store at the entrance of the market, a middle-aged boss woke up when bright sunlight shone through the cracks in the shabby windows and onto the randomly piled linen bags. His name was Giant Mulberry. He came from Tieshan Town in the Northern Wilderness Continent. He was a grain merchant that could be seen everywhere. Of course, he would occasionally play a guest role as a black merchant, buying and selling all kinds of prohibited goods.
After getting out of bed, he put on his canvas shirt and slippers, staggered open the wooden door of the grocery store, looked at the crowd coming and going in the market, and yawned long.
“The weather is good” He said to himself, then returned to the shop, picked up a marching cup full of yellow stains, grabbed a few pieces of tea from the small cloth bag on the shelf, threw them in, poured some boiling water, and sat down on the small bench to drink.
Not long after, he finished his first cup of tea in the morning and was about to get up and open his shop. But at this moment, the light in the shop suddenly dimmed, and the sunlight shining through the door seemed to be blocked by something. He turned his head vigilantly, only to see two uninvited guests wearing white Holy Light Power Armor.
“Are you Giant Mulberry?” The leader of the Knights Templars stared at him and asked straightforwardly.
Ju Sang lowered her head and stammered nervously, “Two … My lords … Little … Little people …” In an instant, countless images flashed through his mind, and he finally froze on the two damaged power armors.
Shit …
“No … it’s not that Giant Mulberry. He … he’s over there …” As she spoke, Giant Mulberry stretched out her trembling hand and pointed at a grocery store opposite her.
The leader of the Knights Templars immediately followed his fingers and exchanged glances with his companions. Then, he nodded to him and said, “Thank you. May the Holy Light be with you.”
After saying that, the two Knights Templar turned around and left, heading towards the grocery store opposite them.
“Wait …” However, before they could take two steps forward, the voice of the grocer came from behind them. They stopped at the same time and looked at the latter with a puzzled expression. The latter waved at them and said with a flattering expression, “My lords, the food here is good. It’s cheaper than Giant Mulberry’s. Buy mine.”
The Knight Templar waved his hand and continued walking towards the grocery store. After the two Knights of the Temple left, Ju Sang immediately closed the door, took the money bag, opened the window, and went out.
However, just as he climbed out of the window and hadn’t even straightened his body, he saw four well-armed knights in white robes, their chests and arms painted with gray crosses. He immediately widened his eyes and swept across the faces of the four with fear. The cold sweat instantly soaked through their backs.
“Mr. Giant Mulberry, come with us.” A knight retainer standing at the front said.
“Alright” As he spoke, Giant Mulberry turned around and ran away. However, before he could take a few steps, he was kicked to the ground by the retainer who was chasing him and tied up …
Two days later, at Dr3713-01-22, 8:00 a.m. Silver City Time and 63:00 noon Satt Time, Tie Zha, who had just eaten lunch, mounted his weapon and rode on a red comet, leaving Tyre Stronghold, preparing to head to Elda’s gathering point three hundred kilometers away to investigate the situation.
At this time, the Gobi Desert in the afternoon was exceptionally hot. The fierce sunlight shone on the scarlet red earth. Looking from afar from the motorcycle, it was as if the entire world was steaming. At this moment, Tie Zha was wearing an earthen-red camouflage suit, large sunglasses, and a red and white square lattice turban. He was half-lying on the red comet as he rushed forward. Rumbling sounds could be heard as the thick wheels pressed against the ground, pushing countless dust and gravel behind them.
Desert Five was flat, and the red comet could travel on rubber wheels, saving fuel and accelerating with airbags.
[Little scum, let’s go travel around the world ~] Alice’s excited voice came from the speaker.
“Do I need to cancel personification management?” Tie Zha asked indifferently.
‘”Then be honest.” [But Alice has always been obedient ~] “Nothing.” [Captain, you are so gentle to other girls, why are you so rude to Alice? ]
“Is there?” Tie Zha asked with a frown.
[Yes, they can call Captain Sacha. Why can’t Alice call Captain Little Scrap?] ]
“That’s a fake name. My name is Tie Zha Northess.”
[But, that girl called Muyu Qinxin, why did she call you Sa Jia Qi even though she knew your name was Tie Zha?] Alice asked innocently.
“Because I can’t cancel her personification.” Tie Zha finally got impatient and threatened in a low voice.
[Alright, my captain, let’s go around the world.]
“Alice, noun parsing, from Elda.”
[Yes, my captain, Dudu … the information is being analyzed … Dudu … the analysis is complete …]
[Elda, tall and sturdy, iron-skinned, traditional evolutionist with strength and speed close to 30% of that of an adult male, generally believed in the Giant Spirit God Titan, a minority believed in evil gods such as the Six-eyed Spider Empress, the Dark Emperor, and the Shadow Prince, and possessed a variety of mental and physical cultivation methods.]
[Compared to humans, the people of Elda have a higher affinity for psionic sand and are easier to absorb and utilize. However, because their nerve endings are not well developed, their control over psionic sand is far inferior to that of human psionic sand at the advanced stage.]
[The unofficial name of the people of Elda is’ Demon Race ‘, The reason for this title is because the experts in Elda are prone to “energy overload” accidents, causing the space around them to enter an unstable state. When the plane they are in is unable to support their existence and shatters, they will passively fall into the torrent of space-time and be washed into the bottomless abyss.]
[After that, over the long years of the bottomless abyss, their bodies will gradually grow larger and their IQ and EQ will gradually deteriorate, eventually transforming into the strongest existence in the bottomless abyss-the Great Abyss Devil.]
“Why wouldn’t a human’s saint rank fall into the bottomless abyss?” Tie Zha asked.
[Perhaps because of differences in body structure, the people of Elda are more inclined to evolve in terms of “energy aggregation,” while the human saint ranks are more inclined to evolve in terms of “energy form.”]
[The people of Elda do not have a mechanical civilization. They like to rely on their own strength to solve problems and do not like to rely on external forces. However, according to the information on the Internet, many people in Elda are willing to use spirit stones and black oil to exchange for vehicles, fuel, weapons and other materials with humans. Even delicious ingredients are included in their exchange lists.]
Just like this, one person and one car were chatting as they drove towards the gathering place of the Elda people in the boundless Gobi Desert …
Three hours later, a messy tent appeared on the distant horizon. There were many shaking figures among them. After that, Tie Zha stopped beside a Dead Sea Poplar, climbed up the treetop and took out his binoculars to observe carefully.
In the orange-red lenses, he saw the scene in the gathering place. There were men and women, old and young. Most of the adult males were sitting cross-legged on the ground, some were resting with their eyes closed, some were making strange gestures, some were wiping their spears; The women gathered together in twos and threes. They were doing manual work while chatting. A few old men were walking around the camp with crutches. From time to time, they stopped and pointed. It was as if they were preaching or reminding. The children were running around the tents. It was a peaceful scene.
After observing carefully for a while, Tie Zha discovered that the people of Elda were generally wearing seemingly crude, practical armor. These armors are made of metal armor pieces and thick canvas twisted into strips. They are light and have good protection. There were also quite a few old pickup trucks in the camp. Judging from their styles, they were the Barbarian Oxpickup trucks of the Great Wall Company.
A moment later, Tie Zha put away his binoculars, jumped off the tree, and rode his motorcycle to the assembly area.
According to Silver City’s official information, although the people of Elda do not trust humans, they often do business with human merchants. Tie Zha prepared a box of Richie’s VS, a few military daggers and some lighters, ready to contact them as a merchant in the sand sea.
As he approached the outskirts of the assembly area, a fat Elda boy about his height saw him from afar and let out a strange cry as he ran into the assembly area. Not long after, five or six three-meter-tall Elda men with spears ran out and gestured towards Tie Zha from afar. The gesture means–“Leave now, or I’ll kill you.”
Seeing this, Tie Zha hurriedly got out of the car and waved his hands back and forth, indicating that he didn’t have any ill intentions. He came to exchange for something. Then, he took out a few military daggers and placed them on the ground in turn. He tore open the seal on the box of Richie VS, took out one, bit open the oak cork, and took a sip.
He then raised the bottle and shouted at several Elda men not far away, “Good wine!”
“Lu Ta!” “Lu Ta!” “Ah Lu Ta!” “Mulaluta!” “Silaluta!” Seeing this, a few people from Elda exchanged glances with each other. Then, they raised their spears high and shouted loudly.
“Lu Ta!” Tie Zha raised his fist with one hand and the wine bottle with the other and shouted. Among the people of Elda, “Luta” means “very good, very happy, very happy, very happy”.
Afterwards, the Elda people ran over and stood a few meters away from Tie Zha, staring at him vigilantly.
“Kabbah!” Tie Zha shouted and placed the wine bottle two meters in front of him. Then, he took three steps back. ‘”Kabbah” was the meaning of the gift. Iron slag understood three sentences in total, and the other was “Sarah!” ‘”I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you.” Although there were only three sentences, he felt that it was enough. Although Qin Ke’er still wanted to teach him more, he felt that he would not be able to remember it for a while, so he only learned three sentences.
In the social system of the people of Elda, the two levels of polarization are extremely serious. Ordinary people in Elda are basically illiterate, living a simple and primitive life, while the nobles and royals in Elda have a high IQ, are proficient in a variety of languages, philosophy, and natural sciences, and their knowledge is no less than that of human scholars.
