Chapter 10: Journey Again

After a series of pleasant ♂ dealings, we left the merchant surnamed Mo at our house for a night's rest, and the next morning we sent the aboriginal merchant away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In this transaction, we have made a huge profit, and the humble seed in the eyes of the merchant is undoubtedly a relief for us.

And all we pay for is some gold and some food that is dispensable for us.

Here we have to mention the way we trade in this world that we learned from merchants.

Gold is hard currency in every world, but most of the aborigines of this world do not trade directly with whole gold ingots, but break them down into small gold grains and then trade.

After all, gold ingots are difficult to carry, and they are too large to trade, so it is much better to break them down into gold nuggets.

Although we have seldom gone to the mining industry since we stabilized, we still have enough gold ingots in our homes to buy all the goods of the merchant without any pressure.

Also, the merchant showed us the direction where the village was located.

As for what we traded from the merchants? Honestly, when the merchant put those seeds in front of us, the expressions on my and Akai expressions were not enough to describe surprise, to be exact, surprise.

That's some watermelon seeds!

Watermelon!

That's right, it's the seeds of watermelons. The surprise that this merchant we rescued brought us.

A seed and a grain of gold -- this is the price given by the merchant.

Without hesitation, I got up and took out all the gold ingots we had accumulated over the years from the chest dedicated to ore.

Then, under the merchant's dull gaze, I took out a group of gold ingots and divided them into a large number of gold grains, and then said to the merchant, "How many seeds are left, we have bought them all!" ”

Tyrants! That was the only thought in the businessman's mind at the time.

A gold ingot can be split into 9 gold nuggets, and I bought all the watermelon seeds that the merchant carried.

The aboriginal merchant smiled as he held his hand full of gold nuggets and looked at it repeatedly before putting it in his backpack.

You know, in this world, the work of mining ore is not easy, on the contrary, it is accompanied by a lot of dangers, and not all people can find wealth underground.

In addition to having a good skill in digging and mining underground, the most important thing is to have enough luck and courage to explore downward. And beware of monsters that could jump out of the darkness at any time to sneak attack.

Unfortunately, whether it's strength, luck or perseverance, we have both.

That's why businessmen can see the huge amount of gold in our homes.

"Oh, my friends." The businessman's tone has changed from being to a customer to a friend.

Although I wanted to complain, Akai and I still quieted down and listened to the businessman's speech.

"The village I came out of was just a small town, and in the far east, there was our country." The merchant told me and Akai the shocking news.

The aborigines of this world and the country! This is something that Akai and I didn't expect.

"In addition, in the deepest part of the earth, there is an ore that is rarer than diamonds!" Suddenly, the merchant approached with a mysterious expression.

"What is it?" Akai asked subconsciously, but I didn't speak.

"Emerald~" Two stars flashed in the merchant's eyes.

From the mouth of the merchant, we learned some information about emeralds.

First of all, emeralds are also a currency for their aborigines, but they are very rare, just like diamonds are to us.

Secondly, emeralds belong to the kind of things that have no price, ordinary villagers do not have them, and the places that can exist are only in the hands of the upper echelons of the country in the far east.

In addition, there are many mages in this world, including many great mages, who generally exist in the mage tower as the protectors of the country.

In all the past, Akai and I have learned a little bit about the world through constant inquiries and listening.

Because of the rampant monsters, the aborigines of this world have not developed, and although they have established a country, they are also struggling to support themselves under the offensive of those monsters.

Perhaps, we can go to that country and have a look.

Akai and I looked at each other, both understanding each other's thoughts.

After buying all the watermelon seeds from the merchant, we bought some more wood.

That's right, wood. Merchants seem to sell everything, but it is undeniable that wood is also an indispensable resource for us, and since there is a sale, there is no need to bother cutting it.

Compared to seeds, wood is much cheaper, and one grain of gold can buy four pieces of wood.

The second time, we bought all the merchant's wood, but our gold reserves were only a little less.

The merchant took out another item, a scroll. The moment the merchant took it out, my eyes couldn't take away from the scroll.

Akai looked at me with a smile and asked the merchant to open the price.

Eventually, after paying five gold ingots, I got my wish to get the scroll.

Magic-related items are so expensive! This was the only thing Akai and I thought about after the merchant made the bid.

It's a good burn of money!

Although this gold is useless to us, the poor silk thought from the Celestial Empire still makes us feel a pain in our flesh.

――――――――I am a dividing line that falls like snowflakes――――――――

After sending off the merchants, we finally had time to observe what we had gotten.

The first is the seeds of watermelon.

Watermelon seeds are planted in the same way as pumpkins, planted on the cleared land, and soon after the watermelon stems grow, a watermelon fruit will be produced in a nearby open field.

But!

Watermelon seeds are a seasonal crop!

What are Seasonal Crops? That is, only certain crops can be grown in certain seasons. Unfortunately, watermelons can only be grown in the summer, which is limited by the rules of this world.

And yet・・・・・・

Akai and I looked at the snowflakes that were still falling outside・・・・・・

"It's winter in TMD!" *2

It was very tangled to put it in the box and store it, and Akai and I looked forward to the end of this winter with emotion, and then we could eat cool watermelon in the summer.

Then, after Akai had put the large amount of wood he had traded into the material box, I took out the scroll and spread it out on the table, and Akai came over to look at it with me.

The things on the scroll are not complicated, on the contrary, they are very simple, but after seeing the contents of the scroll, Akai and I said that the five gold ingots were not in vain, on the contrary, the value of this magic to us far exceeded that of the insignificant gold ingots.

[Dispel]: Dispels all inflicted bad states on the body and grants immunity to that status for a certain period of time

It's a simple introduction, but the effect is really powerful.

What is a bad state, in short, is a state that causes sound and damage to our body.

Such as the sluggishness caused by poisoning, nausea, burning, and freezing, these states are collectively referred to as undesirable states. Just like playing a game, there's a buff and a negative status.

The effect of [Dispel] is to dispel those negative states at the same time, and at the same time, you can gain immunity to that state for a certain period of time, and there will be no situation where you just dispell but then hit.

In this regard, although it is not offensive magic, compared to offensive magic, defensive magic is indeed rare.

After the euphoria, Akai and I began to discuss.

The main thing is the map we found in the witch's house, where we still have an abandoned mine that we haven't been to.

Now, now that I've obtained the Dispersal Technique, I can explore it.

So, after some preparations, Xiaobai was left to look after the family, and Akai and I embarked on the journey again.
