Chapter 124: Resources and Maps
This girl named Xia Lili has a special charm and seems to be very good at using women's advantages.
Green couldn't help but take a step back and distance himself from the girl: "Hello, I'm Green. ”
"Green ......," Xia Lili thought as she tilted her head, "this name is the same as the new lord of Miracle Canyon." ”
"It's just the same name." Green smiled slightly, "Do you know what specialties are available in the surrounding villages?" ”
The girl puffed out her chest proudly: "Of course." As a businessman, it is common sense to know the specialties of each region. ”
"That's great. Can you tell me about the trading goods in the surrounding villages? Green stated the main purpose of his trip.
The girl stared at Green, "...... You don't look like a businessman at all. ”
"Haha, after all, I've just started running a business, and I'm still learning." Green took out a map from his pocket, spread it on the table, then put a gold coin on the map, and handed the silver coin to the girl, "Tell me about the specialties of the surrounding villages, this silver coin is yours." If your information satisfies me, then this coin is yours too. ”
The girl stared at the map on the table, and her eyes lit up!
"What a beautiful map! This is supposed to be a magic map, right? ”
"Yes."
The girl looked at the gold and silver coins on the table, then at the map on the table, and finally carefully observed the dress of Grimm and his party.
"Are you the new lord of the Valley of Miracles?" The girl suddenly spoke amazingly!
The expression on Green's face stiffened slightly: "Why do you think so?" ”
"These silver and gold coins are in the style of the southern kingdom of Palomea, which is the northern border of the kingdom of Northbod. You don't look like someone who would save money, and if you're traveling slowly, you'll probably have all the silver in your hand exchanged for Carter (the silver of the Kingdom of Northbod) during your trip, but you're still using southern silver. So I can conclude that you didn't come slowly, but arrived here directly from the south by airship, so you haven't run out of Palomian coins yet! Airships that travel from the south to the north are very rare. ”
"Hmm......" Green looked at the gold coins on the table, "The people who ride the airship should be more than the lords of Miracle Valley, right?" ”
"You look rich. Although the leather armor on your body is badly damaged, it can be seen that it is a high-end product, and it is also a custom-made product tailored to your figure. The red-haired girl looked at the Thousand Shadows behind Grimm, "And this lady's cloak looks very rudimentary, as if it had been improvised from cloth, which is made of sisal cloth, which is common in the south but rare in the north; The clothes under the cloak are not completely visible, but you can see that the material is very good. In addition, your accent is significantly different from that of the Northland natives...... There is only one person I can think of who is rich, non-Northlanders, powerful, and travels by airship from the Kingdom of Palomia to the northern borders of the Kingdom of Norsbod, and who meets these conditions. ”
Green blinked and looked the girl in front of him up and down: "Are you really just an ordinary businessman?" ”
"Keen observation and cunning words are two of the most basic abilities for a businessman." The girl lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted Grimm, "Hello, Lord Viscount, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"I'm not a viscount anymore." Green shrugged, "I've lost territory. ”
"Lord Green, what happened in the Valley of Miracles?"
Greene: "You want to know?" ”
The girl looked at Green with watery eyes: "I'm very curious. ”
"Intelligence fee, 1,000 gold coins!"
"Ahaha~ I'm just an ordinary small businessman, I can't afford this price." A sly smile appeared on the girl's face, "In this way, I will keep your identity secret, and you tell me the information in the Valley of Miracles in exchange, how about it?" ”
"If I want you to keep it a secret, I just need to make it impossible for you to speak forever."
The girl's expression stiffened slightly, and a trace of panic appeared on her face: "Ahaha...... Your Excellency, you're really good at laughing. ”
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you." Green smiled, "Although I didn't expect my identity to be hidden for long, it made me a little depressed that someone was exposed just after I escaped." ”
Seeing that Green didn't intend to kill people, the girl breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm scared to death." ”
"Alright, let's get back to business." Green tapped on the map on the table, "Do you do this business?" ”
"Yes. But I don't want money, and I hope you'll be able to make me copy this map. ”
Green thought for a moment, "Hmm...... If your information can satisfy me. ”
"All the information about all the villages in Tara is in my head."
"Then help me mark the information on the specialties of the surrounding villages." Green tapped on the map on the table.
Grimm's map is a military map that Grimm got from the Earth Church Library in Yod City.
As a military map, this map is very accurate, but it only marks the main cities, terrain, roads, and the distribution of monsters, but does not indicate any village specialties, ore resources, etc. Green now needs to add business information to this military map.
The girl took the map and looked at it carefully: "This map must be some years old, and the monster nest here was sealed ten years ago. ”
"You're saying the nest has been sealed?"
"Yes. Because copper ore was found there, the kingdom sealed the monster lair there and built a castle and mine there. ”
"Copper?" Green's eyes lit up.
Copper ore is a good thing! The lack of ore in the Valley of Miracles has led the Monas to use stone pickaxes. If you look for an opportunity to take someone to ransack the mine, the dilemma of lack of metal tools should be solved.
Green hurriedly recorded the information and made some corrections to the map with charcoal.
"Anything else?"
"I'll take a look......" The girl studied the map, trying to compare the contents of the map with the memories in her head, "here, and here, these two nests have also been sealed......"
Under the guidance of the merchant girl, Green made some corrections to the map and marked the resources of each region on the map. In particular, the various mines are the focus of Green's attention!
The Northbod Kingdom has complex terrain and rich minerals, with a large number of silver, copper, iron ore resources and various precious associated mines, and there are many mines in the kingdom.
A few hours later, Green completed the map update without a hitch.
