Located in the easternmost part of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, Cockscomb City is the central city of the territory of the Marquis of Pheasant Ling, Benedict Gubuasu, whose territory is called Pheasant Hill, which is said to be larger than Iron Hoof Island.

Of course.

The land is too vast and the territory area does not make much sense, most of it is covered by primeval jungles, and a large number of demonic beasts inhabit. Many primeval jungles are forbidden areas for human activities, and even the Sky Knight does not dare to set foot in them easily, for fear of being attacked by high-level magical beasts.

Humans on the mainland are more likely to build large cities in flat plains, and gather towns along the roads between cities to ensure the safety of survival and communication.

Many long-distance trades require the escort of the Knights.

Ordinary merchants can't afford to hire regular knight guards, so they hire those mercenary guards. Therefore, the existence of mercenary groups is always legal.

"Gubuaçu is a fruit potion that tastes like chocolate and pineapple mixed together, and is an expensive specialty of the Gubuaçu family. It is said that a variant of cocoa fruit, cocoa can produce chocolate, and the chocolate in our country is imported from Rooster City. ”

Liszt was introduced to Captain Lydon, who was once again assigned to Liszt's Knights.

The Earl had already gone to the Pheasant's Fort to attend the reception banquet held by the Marquis of Pheasant, and by the way, held a battle meeting. He took a look around the Rooster City and bought some souvenirs or something: "The sales of chocolate are very large, why don't there be lords in my country who grow cocoa trees?"

"Maybe it's because the climate isn't right, or maybe there's no cocoa elf. ”

Cockscomb City is larger than Coral City, and the buildings lining the streets are even seven-story wooden buildings, and the inhabitants range from richly dressed aristocrats to ragged serfs. There are also many knights dressed like them, probably knights who participated in the Pioneer Order.

"Hi, Viscount Liszt. Soon Liszt was greeted by a young viscount from the Golden Isle, who had come to Coral Island for a wedding.

Liszt knew each other, and he personally received him: "Viscount Cyril, you are also visiting Rooster Crown City?"

"Haha, I don't have any interest in Cockscomb City, I'm going to go to the elf market to see if there are any suitable elf worms, I'm going to buy a few. ”

"Elf Market?" Liszt was interested, "I'm going to go over and have a look, too." ”

"Let's go together. ”

Following Viscount Cyril, the group soon came to the elven market located in a corner of Rooster City. It's a small wild elf trading market, and there aren't many elven bugs for sale. Liszt has a magical book called "The Selling Price of the Wild Elven Worm Market", which records the elven market.

In Steel City, the capital of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, there is a large wild elf trading market, where the elf trading prices are clearly recorded in the book.

For example, a Venus flytrap spirit insect sold for 3,600 gold coins, which he bought from Viscount Younas for only 700 gold coins.

However, the mosquitoes and flies in the steel city are rampant, and every household likes to buy and buy flytraps to breed at home, even if the flytrap insect-catching ability is very low, as long as the planting scale increases, the effect of catching mosquitoes and flies is still good.

On Coral Island, the flytrap was almost useless, there were not many mosquitoes, and the commoners could not afford to use them, and the nobles had other ways to repel them.

Along the way, Liszt gradually gained a clear understanding of the price of this small elf market.

The price is about the same as that of the Iron City, generally around one or two thousand gold coins, the useless elven worms are about hundreds of gold coins, those elven worms linked to the potion are worth two thousand gold coins, and the most expensive elven worm that Liszt saw was a mysterious fruit elf worm with a price tag of three thousand eight hundred gold coins.

Mystic fruit is not a potion of magic, but it enhances the taste of the human tongue and is an excellent food accompaniment to meals.

"It's expensive, you can't recover the cost at all if you buy it back, the population on Coral Island is too small, and there are not many nobles, so there is no demand for mysterious fruits. He shook his head, not thinking of buying it back.

I want to buy some grain-based elven worms.

However, the price of grain spirit insects is not cheap, there are no less than two thousand-the value of the grain that has increased the production of spirit insects in ten years cannot be worth its own price at all. Buying it back is more in the expectation that it can evolve into an elf, and once it evolves, it will make a lot of money.

After all, grain is an important component of human food, and the increase in grain production brought by a little elf can live countless people.

Liszt is very short of grain elves, he only has 1 barley worm, 1 corn worm and 2 wheat worms, maybe the corn grass worm can also be regarded as a grain elf, after all, there are now cob corn and grain corn.

"The price of the wheat worm is 2,300 gold coins, which is not cost-effective, and I don't have that many gold coins now, forget it, let's wait for the territory to breed itself." I have a smoke quest, and the source of the elf worm is not a problem. Liszt silently calculated, and gave up the intention of buying.

He was going to continue to take a turn to see if there were any nightshade worms, rubber worms, and thorn worms, as long as the price of these three spirit insects was not outrageous, he would definitely not hesitate to grab them.

Pity.

I turned around and didn't find it.

There are less than a hundred elven insects traded in the elven market, and most of them are useless elven insects - the elven insect trade is not prosperous enough, many of them are provided by small nobles who are unable to operate, and big nobles will only buy and not sell - for nobles, elves will always be scarce.

If Viscount Younas hadn't had financial problems, he wouldn't have sold nightshade worms and flytrap insects in the first place.

......

Leaving the elven market, Liszt asked Captain Leiden, "When is the serf trade taking place?"

"Not yet, but once the war starts, a mercenary group will soon come to contact you...... All we need to do is prepare our ships on the beach, and the mercenary group will carry a large number of serfs to trade. The time is very short, maybe an hour, to complete the transaction, and then to leave separately. ”

Captain Lydon had participated in many raids and was well aware of the serf trade.

There were even some serf trades that plundered villages on the same day and escorted serfs to trade on the same day.

Captain Lydon added: "You can also contact the serf traders, who will buy the slaves, and they will always have access to a large number of slaves." Then we just need to wait for their battered plank boat by the sea, and even go ashore to complete the deal. ”

This trade in serfs was apparently intended to prevent the Knights from discovering the trade.

The security is much improved, but it will be taken by the serf traders, so it is better to trade directly with the mercenary group.

"Do we usually trade directly on Coral Island, or do we contact serf traders?" asked Liszt.

Captain Lydon smiled mysteriously.

Seeing that no one was approaching on the left and right, he whispered: "Captain, do you know how those small lords who are often invaded on the coast survive, their territory may not have much output, but the mercenary groups they raise in captivity are even larger than the mercenary groups captive by some big lords...... They were all secretly engaged in the slave trade. ”

He added, "The rats will help us connect with the mercenary group, and we will be able to get a small port without even having to fight." ”
