Chapter III Acquisition
"That! You! Hello! I got lost and got here, what is this place? Li Youran thought of a lame reason, it is said that this reason is that a person can't believe it, but this person in front of Li Youran believes it.
"Lost? You're a foot trader! Why are you the only one? What about your cargo and mercenaries? Have you been robbed? ”
Very good and powerful! gave Li Youran an identity in an instant, Li Youran almost didn't hug him and kiss him, this benevolent brother is really understanding.
"That's right! I'm a businessman, but how do you see that? As for my cargo and mercenaries, you know anything can be a little bit of trouble. Li Youran deliberately said vaguely, let him make up for it himself, and sure enough, people thought of many possibilities in an instant, robbers? Treachery? Lost or something.
"I knew it wasn't easy to see! You don't have any calluses on your hands, and you can't resist your shoulders and can't lift them, you know that you are a rich family at a glance, but the noble lord will not come to the mountains and forests alone, but you are only one person, so guess you are a foot merchant. "I look very smart when I say it.
"This big brother is really wise! The little brother's name is leisurely! I don't know what Big Brother is called? Thank you so much for saving me, or I would have died in the mouth of the beast. Li leisurely lowered his posture, then skillfully took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.
"My name is Morton, and I'm a hunter ・・・・・・ in Little Mountain Town." The hunter named Morton looked at the cigarette handed over by Li Youran and was a little at a loss, he didn't know what this thing was, although he took it, he didn't know what to do.
After Li Youran saw it, he secretly patted his head, he was really stupid, he didn't expect that this was another world, maybe people didn't have this kind of tobacco.
"Big brother! Blame me! Blame me! You see! That is true. Then Li Youran took out a cigarette himself, then put it in his mouth, took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it, took a deep puff, and then spit out the smoke.
Morton was stupid, what did he see, the sudden appearance of flames reminded him of a kind of person, that is, a magician, and then the smoke from Li Youran's mouth made him think that Li Youran was not an ordinary person.
"What's wrong! Big brother, I'll give you something. Li Youran did not notice the change in Morton's face, but used a lighter to light his cigarette in front of Morton.
Morton hesitated to take a sip, feeling very novel, and this mage master didn't seem to be as difficult as others said, and then took another sip, this mouthful, but it was enough to choke people, Morton wanted to cough, but Li Youran was here, he was a little scared, holding back, and his face was purple.
Li Youran looked funny, and then said, "Big brother, don't be nervous!" Just spit it out, it's fine. ”
Hearing the mage master say this, Morton spit it out, feeling much more comfortable, what is this? I feel very uncomfortable, but I can refresh myself, and I was originally a little tired, but after smoking this, it seems to be much better.
"This! Master Mage! Don't know what it is? Morton asked.
As a result, Li Youran was confused by his title: "What? What mages do you say? ”
Morton listened, hesitated for a moment, and then pointed to Li Youran's hand holding the lighter, Li Youran saw his lighter along the place of his finger, and immediately understood, people misunderstood, although this misunderstanding is very beautiful, but it can't be pretended! I don't know how to do magic at all.
"That's what you're talking about! I'm not a mage, you see! This is a very convenient tool, called a lighter, which is used to start a fire. Li Youran gave the lighter to Morton, and then taught him to use it, and after Li Youran taught him a few times, Morton mastered this technique!
It was quite enjoyable to play there alone, Li Youran didn't bother him, and after a while, Morton thought that there were still people around him, so he returned the lighter back and said, "Since you are lost!" I'm going down the mountain, why don't you come with me? ”
A simple mountain man, when someone gave him a cigarette, he felt that he was taking advantage of others, and then he felt obliged to take others out.
When Li Youran heard that there was no way to agree, he immediately nodded his head and said, "Okay!" Okay, I'm really lost, I can't find my way out. ”
Morton smiled when he heard this, then picked up the slain beast and said, "Come with me!" It's not far from the town, and since you're a merchant, you can come here to do business in the future, and we rarely have businessmen here. ”
"Good! To tell you the truth, I'm here to find a market and see what those places need! Then I go and prepare things, and that's how business works, we sell what people need. Li Youran agreed, he was originally here to reconnoitre.
Along the way, Li Youran was knocking on the side to inquire about some things in this world, but how much can a mountain man know? Naturally, he didn't have much to gain, but he only knew that the town he was going to belonged to the Imperial Maple Leaf Territory, the territory of Viscount Pombo, and that town was the fief of one of his subordinates, the Knight of Thrae.
After a few hours of hurrying, he finally saw a flag painted with lightning fluttering in the air on a small hill, Morton said, that is, the territory of the Knights of Seret has arrived, Li Youran is happy, and he is finally going to the world of human beings, and it is up to him to make a fortune or not.
The two of them raised their spirits and entered the town, the town has no guards, a knight's collar, only low earthen walls, saying that the knight can't afford to raise so many guards, and his men are said to be mostly serfs, and there are not even a few free people like Morton.
I followed Morton into the town, and found that it was actually really barren, and everyone had a good face, and it seemed that they were all people who couldn't eat enough, and they didn't know what business could be done here.
Morton invited Li Youran to his home, and then put the beast on the board outside the house, took out a sharp peeling knife, carefully peeled off the fur, and immediately nitrated, and when he finished this qiē, it was already night, Morton was very hospitable and invited Li Youran to eat with him, Li Youran was not polite, and immediately agreed.
Then the two of them cut off a few large pieces of the beast's meat, and then began to roast it on the fire, and when it looked oily and seemed to be cooked, they immediately took it off and ate it, Morton gave Li Youran a piece, and then Li Youran almost vomited it when he ate the first bite.
"What's wrong! Are you not used to eating? Ay! There's no way that no one in the town has extra food, otherwise I can borrow some, and I can only ask you to eat animal meat, which is rude. Morton said with a sigh.
Li Youran immediately waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" I'm just not used to eating! By the way, do you have salt here, the meat is a little light, so I can't eat it. ”
"Salt? We don't have a lot of salt here, it's far from the sea, so there's no salt, and most of us rely on animal blood for salt, so let's try this. Morton gave Li Youran the skin bag containing the blood of the beast.
This made Li Youran feel very disgusted, and looked at Morton suspiciously.
"Most of us get salt from the blood of animals, and if you don't look at this skin, you can get at least twenty black loaves of bread outside." Morton's words made Li Youran speechless, and then his eyes lit up and said, "If I can get a lot of salt, how about selling it here?" ”
"Not good! The people here are poor and can't afford it, but the knight may be able to afford it. Mr. Morton's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again, the people here were poor, so even if there were good things, they couldn't afford them.
"I see! It seems that I still have to find the knight master, I don't know how to find him? Li Youran said.
"It's too late today, let's do it tomorrow! You go to him tomorrow, and the fortress made of stone is the knight's house, and he is the lord here, and almost all the resources are his, and I pay taxes to him when I hunt. Morton saw that Li Youran didn't need blood, so he took it back, and then smeared it on the meat that had already been examined, and then ate it.
After eating, he licked his bloodstained fingers, and Li Youran was about to vomit when he saw it, Morton patted his stomach, and then said, "I'm full, now go to sleep, do you rest here or go to the hotel?" ”
"And the hotel? Never mind! I'd better go back! Li Youran thought it was incredible, there was such a thing as a hotel in such a broken place.
"Come on! This one is up to you! It's like a reward for bringing me out. Li leisurely took out a box of cigarettes and lighters and put them in Morton's hand.
"It's too expensive for me to want." That being said, but the eyes were always on the cigarette and the lighter, especially the lighter, which was really a treasure in Morton's opinion, and with it he could have a fire to eat at any time when he was in the mountains, otherwise there would be no way to do it on a rainy day.
"Be polite to me! I'm a businessman! I have something like this, so take it. "Li Youran, can you still see it? Naturally, he won't take it back, but he has seen that this Morton is skillful, not to mention the arrow, just the one who carried a few hundred pounds of things on the mountain road for several hours, and he was not ordinarily strong.
Morton really wanted it, so after a few resignations, he left it, but after accepting it, he returned to the room I don't know what I'm flipping, Li Youran heard the sound of something falling inside, and then saw Morton come out with a roll of something I don't know what it is.
After coming out, Morton handed the thing to Li Youran and said: "I don't know this thing is enough to buy that thing called a lighter, but this is the best thing that can be taken out, for you, this is a treasure, rare, by the way, you just said that you go back, where do you go back?" Why don't you rest here for the night? ”
