Chapter 43: Sending Off
The little flame spider warrior named "Snow Mai" handed a brown pine nut to Zebra.
"Hello, my name is Xuemai."
Xue Mai was twice as big as Madarabu, and he looked a little timid and shy, and carefully passed the message to Madarabu.
"Hello, thank you."
Banbu received the gift and politely replied.
Chonglou continued: "The fire pine is produced in the cold north, and the Lord of Jinzhu Mountain originally planned to breed a life seed and plant it on the top of Li Zhu Peak. I have helped to check that the summit of Li Zhufeng is very suitable for the growth of fire pine in terms of temperature, humidity, light and soil quality. ”
"However, the growth rate of the fire oil pine is very slow, very slow, as slow as the Chijian tree, so, Banbu Mountain Lord, I suggest that you first collect the seeds, and after becoming a high-level warrior, then according to the development of your own territory, consider whether to breed this fire oil pine nut as a life seed."
Banbu asked, "How slow?" ”
Luo Shi replied, "It will take at least 5 years to grow to the same height as me. ”
The zebra carefully measured that the height of the stone did not exceed 100, which means that it would take 5 years to grow to a height of 100, which was really slow enough, and the heart suddenly cooled down.
In the cockroach tribe, the life span of high-level warriors is only forty or fifty years, and the vigorous and vigorous adolescence is only a short period of more than twenty years.
When you are promoted to the level of mountain master, your life expectancy will be greatly increased, and then you will have the capital to consider planting those cherished tree species that grow slowly and once they grow into rich returns.
Banbu said: "After I am promoted to a high-level warrior, the fire pine seed will be the most precious life seed choice of the life seed, thank you." ”
Seeing that Banbu knew how to choose the life seed, Chonglou didn't say anything more, and asked: "Banbu Mountain Lord, your bamboo seed is worth 2 rough stones, are you buying the rare Force Fruit?" Or do you want to collect the rough directly? ”
The original stone is the jade in the environment of abundant force, after tens of thousands of years, gradually formed, which is concentrated with the majestic pure force, is cut into small pieces of the same specification, as the main circulation currency of all ethnic groups in the mainland.
It was not unusual for Madara to have come into contact with a large number of rough stones when he was a human, and he was familiar with the various uses of rough stones, so he thought for a moment and said, "I need two rough stones." ”
"No problem, Xuemai, take two rough stones and give them to the Lord of Banbu Mountain." Chonglou replied quickly.
Xue Mai climbed up the belly and back of the heavy building, took out two irregularly cut milky white stones from a silk bag and handed them to Banbu, and said timidly:
"Lord Banbu Mountain, you check the weight."
The rough produced by nature is irregular, and the cutting is not very regular, and it is counted by a uniform standard weight.
Banbu didn't have a weighing tool, and he didn't know what the weight of each rough stone should be, so he casually put it in his snakeskin pocket and said, "I believe in your credibility, thank you!" ”
Xue Mai said happily: "Thank you for your trust. ”
Chonglou said solemnly: "The basis of business transactions is mutual trust, Lord Banbu Mountain, this is a good start, I believe that in the future, we will cooperate happily." ”
Banbu agreed, "I think so too. ”
"It's a long way to go, and it's time for us to get on the road." Chonglou instructed the little spiders on the side: "Luoshi, Xuemai, it's time to go!" ”
Banbu said: "When night falls, you should stay overnight in Li Zhufeng, and you will be on the road early tomorrow morning." ”
Chonglou smiled: "Thank you for the kindness of the Lord of Banbu Mountain, however, our Illusory Flame Spider tribe prefers to rest during the day and travel at night. ”
"......" Madara said, "then I won't force it." Chonglou Mountain Lord, you will come to Li Zhufeng again to trade in three years, right? ”
Chonglou turned his head to look at the God-given Seed and said, "Banbu Mountain Lord, you have underestimated the charm of the God-given Seed, if you want, we can come and trade next year." ”
Banbu asked, "Next year?" ”
Chonglou said: "There are also differences in the quality of God-given seeds, and there are differences in the yield of different plants. I know that the first year of God-given seed will certainly not produce enough seeds for you to eat, if you want, you can leave one, we need more detailed information. ”
"Understanding its characteristics and production volumes is partly for pricing, and partly for finding customers who are willing to pay a fortune for it," he adds. ”
It is worthy of a race that has lived as a merchant for generations, and it is quite professional.
"Oh! I see! Banbu nodded his tentacles and asked sincerely: "Lord Chonglou Mountain, you must have seen all kinds of god-given seeds when you go south and north, can you tell me what is the development potential of my god-given seed?" ”
Chonglou didn't think about it and said: "It will keep branching out new plants, forming a meadow, and even growing into a grassland, and then each plant can bloom and bear seeds, and the future of development should not be underestimated." However, there is a limit to the number of ramets, and the exact size of the plant can grow depends on the growth time and your own strength. ”
After Chonglou finished speaking, he emphasized: "The most important thing is your strength!" If the seed is sown by the gods, it will give birth to the Dryad, and it takes time for the Dryad to grow, and at the same time, it is more constrained by your strength, and this problem will be reflected in the long period of time when a high-level warrior is promoted to the Mountain Lord. ”
The answer given by Chonglou was not far from what Zebubu had guessed.
Banbu then asked, "Is there anything I need to pay special attention to when dealing with God-given seeds?" ”
Chonglou thought for a while and said, "Maintain soil fertility and water at the right time, Li Zhufeng's force abundance is enough, and there is nothing else to pay attention to at present." ”
Madara said, "Understood, thank you!" ”
Chonglou said: "It's time for me to hit the road." ”
Banbu thought for a moment and said, "I know the route from Li Zhufeng to Iron Blade, I'll give you a ride." ”
Chonglou thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your enthusiasm." ”
……
Zebra leads the way in low-altitude flight.
There's a reason for the warmth, and Banbu wants to learn more about the planet through Julou. In addition, Banbu is very curious about how the life seeds bred by the spiders of the Phantom Flame Spider tribe switch back and forth between the two forms of plants and seeds.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Banbu guessed that when the caravan stopped to rest during the day, he would definitely take out the life seed, and then he would be able to see it with his own eyes.
Banbu followed him all the way, flying low to lead the way.
The heavy building explains the customs of various parts of the mainland, strange and interesting anecdotes.
"There are two main production areas of rough stone, the largest production area is the Northern Wilderness, followed by the Wanguo Continent in the East, and the rest of the places are also produced, only scattered small veins are distributed. Most of the rough stones circulating among the insect kingdoms are produced in the Northern Wilderness. ”
"The cold north is not suitable for insects to survive, and the northern wilderness is completely occupied by beast tribes such as colorful tigers, snow leopards, black bears, polar ice bears, steppe wolves, and ice wolves, and conflicts and even wars break out with insect races all year round."
"We wandering merchants never get involved in war affairs and remain absolutely neutral. By trading with beasts, the Force food produced by the Zerg is exchanged for rough stones controlled by the beast race. These rough stones in turn flow into the insect kingdom through various channels. ”
"To the north of the Cockroach Kingdom is the Cockroach Kingdom, to the north of the Cockroach Kingdom is the Blade Mantis Kingdom, further north is the Green Mantis Kingdom, and further north is the Wolf Scorpion Kingdom, and to the north of the Wolf Scorpion Kingdom is the territory ruled by the steppe wolf tribe."
"Our Pyrusom Spider Tribe caravan trades with the Steppe Wolf Tribe all year round......"
Hearing the "steppe wolf", Xuemai's little spider suddenly became excited and shouted: "Little wolf! Little wolf! Friend! ”
Zebrabu wondered.
"Last summer, when we were trading with the Steppe Wolves, Xue Mai got acquainted with a newborn Steppe Wolf warrior. ”
Xue Mai said: "The little wolf is a friend. ”
"Beasts are dangerous, fierce, and greedy, and they don't produce but live by plundering. ”
Chong Lou said: "The beast race is indeed dangerous, and it is inherently hostile to the insect race. However, the beast tribes of the Northern Wilderness have a lot of knowledge inheritance, forming a certain rule and order, and they are not as dangerous as the legend. ”
"They don't generally raid caravans." Chonglou said: "But we must not ignore the ferocity of beasts, the various caravans of our Illusory Flame Spider tribe gather at the border every midsummer and enter the steppe wolf territory to trade. ”
Chonglou asked again: "Lord Banbu Mountain, you were born in the Iron Dao Mountain Range, have you ever heard of Ma Yao?" ”
Banbu's mind moved: Ma Taro once traveled to the mainland with the caravan of the Illusory Flame Spider Tribe, could it be said that he followed the caravan of Chonglou? The relationship between the two sides seems to be stale, and Ma Taro always shows a strong disgust whenever he mentions the caravan.
Banbu replied, "I have heard of it." ”
