my age of magic

Chapter 1258 62. Jungle Tyrant
Elder Singer learned of Bernd's defeat in the battle with the Spider Warlord a week ago.

Some of the Yero natives who were destroyed in the village defected to Elder Singer's tribe, and these indigenous people told Elder Singer what happened.

Elder Singer heard that Bernd and the slaves of the barbarians were hunted down by the Nebulu spiders in the dense forest of Green Valley, so he decided to gather nearly a thousand indigenous warriors from the tribe to look for Bernd and the slaves of the barbarians in the forest of Green Valley. The team, unfortunately, under the pursuit of the Nebulu spider man, Bernd and his barbarian warriors went around in circles with the spider warriors in the northern area of ​​the Green Valley jungle. Leave behind and eat dirt.

The dense forest is full of sentry posts of giant spiders. To avoid the detection of these giant spiders, these natives can only keep going around the dense forest with the help of dryads, so they have not been able to meet Bernd.

I sent a message to Bernd through the dryads, asking him to meet me here.

Bernd led the barbarians here and rested in the forest for half a day before Elder Singer led the native warriors to catch up from behind.

In fact, according to the itinerary and distance, Elder Singer should have arrived at me earlier than Justus.

It's just that they encountered the vanguard of nearly a hundred spider warriors who were chasing Bernd's team all the way in the dense forest behind.

I thought it might be a bitter battle, but I didn't expect that when the spider warriors were about to tear through the defense line of the indigenous warrior organization, they met a group of barbarian slaves who rushed for a long distance. The leader of this group of barbarian slaves was Justus.

After Justus organized these barbarian slaves to shoot three rounds, the spider warriors who were more than half dead or injured didn't have the courage to continue fighting.

Two hundred barbarian slaves in black iron heavy armor swung their axes and rushed up to slaughter melons and vegetables. Nearly a thousand native warriors desperately blocked the fleeing spider warriors from the other side, completing the largest-scale attack in recent times. The siege.

In the past month, the indigenous warriors, large and small, have also experienced more than a dozen battles with the spider warriors.They have a more or less understanding of the weaknesses of the spider warriors, especially when they realize that they have the support of the barbarian warriors on the opposite side, and this victory is at their fingertips.

Therefore, their courage was even more inspired, and they desperately stopped all the spider warriors, so that none of the more than 100 spider warriors escaped.

The aborigines in the tribe were able to muster up the courage to resist the Nebulu spider, mainly because they faced the invasion of the spider warriors. The aborigines living in the Green Valley area finally realized that, as invaders, the Nebru spider and There is a fundamental difference between the Green Empire and the people.

The spider-men of the Niburu race wanted to establish a spider-man empire on the Yerro plane, which meant that all other species on the Yerro plane would become extinct.

Compared to the Nebulu tribe spider people, the Green Empire people are much gentler. The Green people just want to open up part of the territory on the plane and transport part of the resources on the Yero plane to the Roland Continent.

Facts have proved that the expansion of the Duke of Samoyed has been quite moderate, and his Constructed Knights have never crossed the southern part of the Black Forest.

Over there, the large tribe of Yero natives with a population of hundreds of thousands or millions of people also makes the Duke of Samoyed quite afraid.

However, the only thing Nebru Spiderman brought to the Hierro plane and the indigenous tribes was 'destruction'.

……

I hosted a banquet for Elder Singer in the giant pine tree hole in the camp. Although these Yero natives did not help much, but this time at least it established some of the best relationships between me and the natives in Green Valley. Basic trust.

Baked wheat cakes are one of the favorite foods of the Hierro indigenous people. The indigenous people who have tasted baked wheat cakes are deeply impressed by the smell of wheat.

During the dinner, Elder Singer asked me how these fragrant wheat cakes were made. I asked Kalancuo to get some wheat flour and unbraned wheat seeds for Elder Singer, and asked Singer The elder introduced how farmers grow winter wheat on the Roland Continent.

Elder Singer said with emotion: "It would be great if we could open up a wheat field as described by Lord Jijia! Maybe one day in the future, all Yero people will be able to eat such delicious baked wheat cakes."

"The climatic conditions of the Yero plane should be very suitable for growing wheat. In the Grimm Empire, wheat is mainly produced in the southern provinces." I smiled at Elder Singer and said, "In fact, it is not difficult to grow wheat. If Xin If Geerzhang is interested, I can transfer some farmers from the Trum camp to teach the Yero people how to plant winter wheat, and at the same time provide you with the best quality wheat seeds."

I thought Elder Singer would be very happy when he heard this, but he sighed softly and said to me: "As long as our tribe lives in the Green Valley, it is impossible to have the opportunity to open up fertile land and engage in agricultural planting." !"

Elder Singer's forehead was covered with deep wrinkles, and he said calmly: "Speaking of which, the ancient war tree is the real lord here, and we are the same as other wild beasts in this jungle. Boarder, it is the greatest gift to us that the lord can allow us to live in this forest area. Our tribe chose this place, and chose the king of dryads to protect us, so we must follow the rules here .”

"...Actually, it doesn't mean that you must grow winter wheat to eat baked wheat cakes. We can conduct some trade. In Green, not all provinces grow wheat, but it is on the tables of all Green Empire people. Bake some wheatbread," I said slowly to Elder Singer.

What I said seemed incomprehensible to him.

"Trade?" Elder Singer repeated the unfamiliar word, and the word 'Chuan' formed on his forehead.

"For example, in my Green Empire, this kind of black magic crystal is very valuable. If such a black magic crystal is taken to Tanton City, it can be exchanged for at least a thousand catties of wheat flour." He took out a black magic crystal from his arms and handed it to Elder Singer.

What I told Elder Singer was the price of food in Tanton City. Now the trading price of wheat flour in Tanton City is controlled at fifty copper coins per catty.

In fact, the price of grain in Tanton City was seventeen times the transaction price of wheat flour in the imperial capital.

Elder Singer looked at the black magic crystal in my hand, and couldn't help but said, "This is the black magic crystal? Don't these black crystals grow in the head of the spider warrior?"

"That's right, it's the black spar dug out from the head of the spider-man warrior." I replied, I didn't expect that the information of the Yero indigenous tribe was so blocked that they didn't understand the value of the magic spar.

"Can such a black magic crystal be exchanged for a thousand catties of wheat flour? So Lord Jijia, how much is a catty of wheat flour?" Singer asked me, staring at the wheat cakes on the table in front of him.

"For a catty of wheat flour, you can probably only make one baked wheat cake of this size." I raised a baked wheat cake the size of a washbasin in front of me with both hands, and said to Elder Singer.

Elder Singer carefully calculated how many baked wheat cakes can be exchanged for a magic spar, and then said to me in surprise: "If a Hierro fighter can eat one wheat cake a day, then such a black spar Can feed a thousand soldiers?"

I replied, "That's right, you can use this magic spar to trade wheat flour with me."

"Of course, the trade between us is not limited to this. I'm just making a simple example. In fact, we can trade in a very wide range. In addition to this magic spar, it can also be magic beast leather, magic herbs, Magic metal ore and so on." I added later.

Elder Singer stared at the black magic crystal in my hand, and asked me: "This kind of black crystal is probably only found from Nebulu spider warriors and giant spiders, but I don't know that Lord Jijia Are you interested in crystals of other colors?"

"Materials of other colors?" I asked back, thinking: The magic spar of other colors that Elder Singer said must have been obtained from hunting monsters in the jungle before.

"For example, these!" Elder Singer took off the feather crown, revealing several thin braids inside.

I saw a ribbon tied to the end of each of his braids, and several colorful magic crystals were hung on those colorful ribbons, like bunches of colorful grapes.

These magic crystals are actually polished into round beads. The fire-attribute magic spar is like red agate, the wind-attribute magic spar is like transparent crystal balls, and the earth-attribute magic crystal Stones are like pieces of the finest beeswax.

In Green, no one has ever dared to be so reckless. Jewelers usually carve a piece of magic crystal that is not too regular into a regular fusiform hexahedron. Generally speaking, the shape is a bit like a date stone, and the size has a uniform standard. , the magic spar fragments knocked down during the carving process will not be wasted, and are usually the power source on the core gem base of many magic rune boards.

Of course, this is also the reason why magic spar fragments are far cheaper than magic spar. Compared with magic spar fragments of the same quality, the price is generally only half of magic spar.

An excellent jeweler can turn an irregular magic spar stripped from the magic core into a standard general-purpose magic spar and several magic spar fragments, so in the magic world, jewelers It is a profession that can make money from money, because all the wealth is in these magic spar fragments.

But no jeweler will polish the magic spar into a magic wafer ball like a glass marble. This kind of glass marble that wants to be polished into such a glass marble means that a large number of magic spar fragments are turned into magic crystals during the production process Got the magic crystal powder.

If at least one gold coin is wasted for polishing a magic crystal ball, then this level of waste is unacceptable even for some great lords of the Green Empire.

Unexpectedly, the indigenous elder of Yerro used these magic crystals to make a hairband pendant like a round marble and tied it on the tip of his hair. It turned out that he was such a low-key local tyrant.

My eyes fell on Elder Singer's hair. Although his hair was unflattering, the strings of magic spar beads looked extremely colorful and eye-catching.

"These are also magic crystals, but they are inferior in value to black magic crystals. One colored magic crystal can be exchanged for five hundred catties of wheat flour." I said to Elder Singer.

I'm not deliberately lowering the price. In fact, there is a big gap between the price of the Black Magic Crystal and other magic spar.

The most essential difference between the black magic crystal and magic spar of other attributes is that the black magic crystal has merit points.

Two thousand unmarked black magic crystals can promote a second-class earl to a first-class earl, which means that in addition to the value of its own magic crystal, the black magic crystal has another part of its merit value value.

With the gradual depreciation of magic spar in the magic market, ten gold coins can be exchanged for one magic spar at first, and now five gold coins can buy one magic spar, which has depreciated by nearly half.

It’s just that the merit value of the black magic crystal has never depreciated. In the Green Empire, there are countless nobles who dream of being promoted to the title. They don’t have the courage to raise their swords and shields and go to the battlefield. In exchange for merit points, although there is a clause in the "Green Empire Nobility Standard Constitution" that clearly stipulates that nobles are not allowed to trade merit points privately, the binding force of this clause is extremely limited.

Therefore, the value of these black magic crystals without special marks is far more than that of magic crystals with four series of magic attributes.

"That's it!" Hearing what I said, Elder Singer responded, "It seems that if we want to exchange for more supplies, our tribal fighters must be more brave. Only by hunting those spider warriors can we show their strength." The value of war comes."

"Lord Jijia, you just said that we can not only trade magic crystals, but also magic beast materials, magic metal ores, and magic herbs. These three types of materials cover a wide range. How do you set the price?"

Unexpectedly, Elder Singer, who does not know the true value of magic spar, can understand the specific meaning of the other three types of magic materials I mentioned.

I pointed to Alia who was sitting next to me, and said to Elder Singer: "The specific and detailed price will be drawn up by Mrs. Alia. After the price, whether you can reach a deal, you can choose freely."

"Free trade! This is very good." Elder Singer laughed dryly.

Aliya was terrified by Justus' half-demonized appearance. She saw that her whole body was covered with blue scales, and countless bone spurs protruded from the cracks in the bones, which was ferocious and terrifying.

She had seen Justus in the imperial capital, but she hadn't seen Justus in a half-demonic form. She sat opposite Justus and looked at him carefully, so that she didn't even notice what I said to him just now. Singer said those words openly.

Betty, the maid standing behind her, gave her a slight push, and she woke up from her daze.

Betty quietly leaned into her ear and whispered a few words, and then Alia understood the conversation between Elder Singer and me.

She waved to Betty, and Betty took out a thick picture book from her backpack.

Alia nodded to Betty, and Betty held the picture album in front of Elder Singer.

The summer in Hierro's plane is hot and humid. Betty just took a shower. The light yellow gauze dress she is wearing looks very thin, and her graceful body is faintly visible in the gauze skirt. The men of all ethnic groups present at the banquet couldn't bear it. He swallowed his saliva, and his eyes fell on Betty.

Betty immediately realized this, quickly put down the parchment album, and ran behind Alia and me lightly like a deer, those eyes stopped abruptly when they came to me.

Aliya said to Elder Singer: "This picture book records the types of magic herbs. If you have similar magic herbs and want to trade with us, you might as well take the picture book back and read it slowly."
