Chapter 256: Barter
After Ye Nuan finished asking all the questions he wanted to ask, he released the hypnosis of Muzio. The latter www.biquge.info had no impression after coming back, and was still talking about it before being hypnotized.
"Miss Ye is staying here for the time being, this is a small building that I personally own, and no one usually comes."
Ye Nuan nodded, and was quite satisfied with this secluded little mansion, but that Muzio seemed to have something to ask her for, and she didn't like to take advantage of people, so she said, "Is there a pawn shop or anything like that?" ”
"Pawn shop? Do you mean barter? Hearing the unfamiliar word in Ye Nuan's mouth, Muzio asked.
"I guess so, I want to exchange some specialties for beast coins."
Ye Nuan did not hide her purpose, it was a fact that she did not have the currency of this plane, and it was absolutely impossible to do some cover-up behavior, but every cultivator was almost an invisible rich, let alone Ye Nuan.
Muzio glanced at Ye Nuan, probably knowing the other party's true purpose, so he said, "Yes, after going out, turn left and the third street is, there is the largest barter in the Acropolis, as long as it is valuable, they will change it." Flying in the sky, crawling on the ground, and swimming in the water, they are all those who come, and they do not refuse. ”
"Okay." But after saying that, Ye Nuan thought about it again and again, so he took out a round green bead that was no more than the size of a fingernail from his pocket, and said, "Thank you for taking it in, this is a thank you gift." ”
When Ye Nuan took out the bead, Muzio had already glued his eyes straight to it and never moved it, and he didn't know why, he always felt that the moment he saw the green bead, his whole person was a little more refreshed, as if all the pressure he had accumulated before had disappeared, and his whole body was very relaxed, as if he was floating on the clouds. However, thinking that this thing is also very precious, he doesn't dare to covet too much, otherwise he may arouse the disgust of the Sea Clan. When he heard Ye Nuan's words, his eyes widened directly, and his face was full of incredulity.
"This ......"
Muzio's upbringing made him subconsciously want to refuse, but he couldn't bear the real emotions in his heart, so his eyes were both surprised and hesitant at the moment.
"I extract it from plants and trees, and it can enhance people's vitality."
"Vitality?"
Muzio found that the Sea Tribesman he had retrieved had too many strange words in his mouth, especially when the green bead was taken out, which made the mystery shrouded in her even thicker. What is Life Force? He didn't know specifically, but he could probably equate this word with lifespan, in other words, the small bead sent by Ye Nuan had the possibility of extending life, which could be said to be a miracle. You must know that in addition to the priests who worship the beast god will have a relatively long lifespan, ordinary orcs generally live to be more than seventy years old, which is still the longest lifespan. If someone said before that there was something that could increase people's lifespan, he would never believe it, but the problem was that he really felt the mysterious power of the green bead just now, as if his soul had been cleansed, how amazing, he felt that what Ye Nuan said was true.
"You can find out the specific effect yourself." Ye Nuan's words are a bit magical, but it is, what works on humans doesn't necessarily have the same effect on alien orcs, but it's absolutely harmless. What she extracted was the essence of spiritual plants, and this bead was not the kind with the largest concentration of spiritual energy, as long as it was not taken directly by the old, weak, sick and disabled, it would be fine. Even if they eat it by mistake, it's fine, and the swelling is uncomfortable for a few days at most.
Muzio nodded in understanding, but the value of the bead was so great that he was a little uncomfortable with it.
"I don't need this, you can just take it."
She doesn't want to owe people karma, so it's okay to solve it early, and it's reasonable to pay for it with the help of someone else's house.
Muzio seemed to hear the meaning behind Ye Nuan, and seeing that the other party really didn't look distressed, he hesitated for a while and then took it, it was really too tempting/confusing for this thing. And Ye Nuan's appearance is really casual, but it is conceivable that this thing is just an ordinary thing for her. A person who doesn't pay attention to whether his lifespan can be increased, obviously, Ye Nuan is a temple priest, even if he is not really promoted, he is also a probationary.
Muzio, who consciously guessed Ye Nuan's identity, was even more curious about Ye Nuan at the moment, he had never seen a priest without a guard by his side. Not to mention the priests, even if it is the handmaidens who come out of the portal to worship the temple of service, which one is not a personal steward by his side? Ye Nuan can take out something like a green bead casually, thinking that he has an extraordinary status, why would he go to the central city of the Orc Continent alone, and there is no guard by his side? Remembering what the other party said before, he thought for a while and asked.
"Why does Miss Ye want to go to the temple in Canterlot?"
"I have some questions that I want answered." Ye Nuan understated the authenticity.
Hearing this, Muzio's heart was even more puzzled, "Do you have to go to the temple in Canterlot to get the answer?" No, no, you're looking for a high priest? ”
Thinking of a possibility, Muzio couldn't help but squint his eyes, as if he had brought back a big problem, that is, he didn't know if this Ye Nuan would bring him a chance or a disaster.
"Hmm." Ye Nuan nodded in response.
"But it's not easy to meet the high priest, even if you are from the Sea Clan Temple, it is estimated that it will be difficult." Although Ye Nuan took out the magical green beads, it may not be enough to meet the high priest.
"Well, I've heard people say you have to make a certain contribution."
"Do you want to start with contributions? But it's not simple, the contribution value is generally a significant contribution to the orc, and it will be obtained. "Instead of this, it's better to start with the family. At least the people of the family can have the opportunity to meet the high priest under certain circumstances, but this requires Ye Nuan to join a certain family. He looked at Ye Nuan's appearance, and he didn't look like someone who wanted to be trapped in a corner. So he didn't come up with this method after all.
"So I need to enter the Canterlot Temple and continue."
"Okay, although I may not be able to help, but you can come to me if you have a problem." Muzio smiled at Ye Nuan, and his tone was a little sincere. This is his only sincere word all day, mainly because of the face that Ye Nuan gave him green beads, and he also wants to get close to Ye Nuan, maybe he can get some benefits, as for the trouble, he will find a way to avoid it, after all, he has been in the acropolis of the central city since he was a child, and he has seen too many complicated things in the family, temples, and nobles. So you can't blame them for being insincere, it's just that their childhood experience has cultivated their temperament.
Ye Nuan nodded at Muzio, and then sent him away.
The courtyard was very clean, and it seemed to be cleaned regularly, but it was not like the earth where a bunch of servants were followed at all times, and besides, apart from the fact that she had seen a somewhat unruly woman with a steward-like figure around her, she didn't even have an entourage around a person like Muzio, who didn't seem to be of low origin. Oh, by the way, she forgot about the priest who was surrounded by a bunch of guards, who were also followers, the status of servants. It seems that this place is still very different from the earth.
Ye Nuan left a trace of divine thought here, and then went out, and the destination was naturally the barter house that Muzio said.
The Acropolis of the Central City is indeed not comparable to a remote town like Vatow City, whether it is the architectural style, commercial activities, or residents' lives, there are great surprises. One is like a prosperous world, and the other is deserted and lonely, the former is full of people, and the latter is definitely the kind that is lazy and lazy to go out. First, after watching the prosperous market scene of the alien orc plane with great interest, Ye Nuan then headed towards his destination.
It is a three-storey wooden building, using simple and crisp geometric blocks to create a cobbled overall shape, but each floor will have a prominent cornice, and the eaves corner is carved with delicate textures, simple but not simple, the whole building looks very different from the surrounding area, very eye-catching. To Ye Nuan said, this barter can be compared to modern brick and concrete buildings, except for the different materials, the shape is really quite similar. However, in modern times, I have seen a lot of such houses, and Ye Nuan took a few more glances when he saw the barter, and then entered the barter house without any feeling.
The barter house has a lot of things and a variety of display areas, and the main furniture is a boxy counter cut out of a glass-like stone, and these cabinets are neatly arranged for people to see. The way is very modern, Ye Nuan commented in his heart again.
Seeing Ye Nuan's arrival, a young man wearing light brown clothes similar to cotton and linen walked out of the crowd, the person was white and tender, not very old, and when he saw Ye Nuan, he smiled, and deep dimples rose from his mouth.
"Hello guest, is there anything you need me to serve?"
Ye Nuan glanced around, raised his eyebrows slightly, there were a lot of goods placed in the barter, and there were also many various guests inside, at least if it wasn't for Ye Nuan's skill, it would be difficult to squeeze in from the door. And her height is very petite in a group of tall orcs, not easy to see, this person's eyes are indeed sharp enough.
"I want to exchange for beast coins." However, Ye Nuan did not hesitate about his purpose, and said it directly.
When the man heard this, he was a little surprised, "Now the people who come to the barter house are basically here to buy things, and few people will come to exchange for beast coins, presumably the young lady has a rare treasure in her hand." In that case, please come with me, and I will ask the shopkeeper to give the lady a reasonable price. ”
The word shopkeeper is exactly the same as the earth, and Ye Nuan smiled inadvertently, like a snow lotus blooming.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
The young man was stunned by Ye Nuan's smile, but then reacted and nodded with a smile.
When he arrived at the front counter on the first floor of the barter, Ye Nuan saw the director of this place, an old man who was a little shriveled. The sparse hair sticking to the head, the black with a little gray, and the deep and shallow furrows crisscrossing the face and body, these marks all show the age of this person.
"Shopkeeper, this is my guest, and she wants to come and exchange it for beast coins." Seeing that the old man was thinking about something, the young man stepped forward and said.
Hearing this, the old man raised his head from the pile of data, first glanced at the young man, and then turned his gaze to Ye Nuan.
After thinking about it, he said, "This young lady, may I ask what you want to exchange for beast coins?" ”
"What do you usually receive?"
"This is mainly divided into various types. We generally do not accept the level of life, but if it is made of special animal bones or gemstones, it will be counted, except for a certain carving process, which will also add points. The level is slightly higher than clothing, followed by accessories, drugs and the like. In fact, the range is very wide, it just depends on what grade the lady's things belong to. In general, there is nothing we don't receive, and the level of life is too low and there is not much value, so we don't want it. ”
Ye Nuan nodded silently, indicating understanding. Then he took out a few folded silk handkerchiefs from his pockets, which had lifelike embroidery textures, which were higher grade than those that Ye Nuan took out in Vato City.
"This is an embroidered handkerchief, woven from a special material, cool in summer and warm in winter. The pattern on it is also made of very strong natural color silk threads, which will not fade for a long time. How do you calculate this? ”
The old man heard Ye Nuan say this, in fact, he didn't have much curiosity, handkerchiefs, although the orcs used it less, but it was not nothing, those aristocratic families, including the priests of the temple, seemed to like it a lot, if the embroidery was good, it could be exchanged for a price. But when his hand actually touched the handkerchief, his heart was immediately shocked, which felt very strange. I don't know what was used, the handkerchief was delicate and silky to the touch, and it was very comfortable with a slight coolness, and when he unfolded the handkerchief, his eyes were even more wide like copper bells.
"It's ...... up there"
"This is a picture of rich flowers, embroidered peony flowers in full bloom, which belong to our local special varieties. Because the flower is graceful and generous, it means wealth and auspiciousness. Although Ye Nuan's statement was very ordinary, it did not reduce the charm of the embroidered handkerchief at all. Just because the patterns on the handkerchief are so realistic, as if real delicate flowers bloom in front of people's eyes, and colorful butterflies are flying.
The young man on the side was also surprised when he saw it, and then opened another handkerchief.
Embroidered on it are landscape paintings of the Song Dynasty, distant mountains, near water, lonely boats and anglers. The meaning is far-reaching and long, although the culture of the plane and time and space is different, but this embroidery is to give people a detached artistic conception of beauty, even if there are many differences in the orc civilization, it is still infected.
"This is an embroidered painting, with silk as the base and thread as the pen, to be painted. As for the meaning, it depends on your personal experience. ”
This is just Ye Nuan's work when he is bored, when he embroiders, he asks for a calm mind, and after he finishes it, Ye Nuan is thrown in the space at will, and he has long forgotten its existence. If it weren't for the fear that things would be too strange and not accepted by the orcs, Ye Nuan would not have taken out the embroidered handkerchief, but would have chosen something more advanced.
