Chapter 57: Vacation in Itarica City (Part II)

“…… Lake blue grass leaf pattern brocade ten rolls...... Does anyone want to buy it? ”

“…… I want it, I want it! I'll give out thirty gold Singh coins! ”

“…… I'll give out thirty-two gold Singh coins! ”

“…… I'll give out thirty-five gold Singh coins! ”

- As is the case on the side of the Arnoos hills, at the auction in the city of Itarica, the colorful printed silk is also the most popular commodity on the earth. That attractive sheen, as well as a smooth touch, is unmatched by any known textile on the Farmatt Big 6. Whether it's a beautiful brocade, a thin and translucent light gauze, or a strong taffeta, they are all equally sought after. After making skirts and robes from such top-notch beautiful fabrics by skilled tailors, local women wearing silk dresses generally feel that their beauty has been improved by several levels, and even their temperament has been brought out, and they can't help but have bright eyes and rush to it.

And under the coquettishness and pleading of the wives and daughters at home, looking at their longing eyes, the men had to grit their teeth and give generously.

“…… Your Excellency, Lord Levi! The pterodactyl you wanted last time, I've got it for you! There are two ends! Although it is relatively small and only hatches from the egg for four months, if you feed it well, you will be able to ride it after about two years...... Lord Levi, this pterosaur is hard to get and not cheap! I've used a lot of connections and connections to get them......," shouted a fat businessman, eagerly squeezing up.

“…… Very good! These ten rolls of brocade are yours! Well, the next auction item, twenty silk scarves, is also yours! ”

After looking at the two little pterosaurs in the cage, Levi nodded with satisfaction, "...... We've always been generous to our friends! ”

Looking at the fat merchant who came with two small winged dragons, he happily let the servants use a small cart to pull the silk and satin with a full load, and the rest of the merchants who had been qualified to enter the auction could not help but sigh regretfully, but soon cheered up again and paid attention to the next batch of goods to be auctioned.

“…… The next batch of goods, 50 boxes of chive-flavored compressed biscuits......"

“…… I want this! Four Singh Gold Coins! ”

“…… I'll make five! ”

- Although few modern Chinese are willing to nibble on compressed biscuits, they think this thing is hard enough to give people nightmares. But for the aborigines of Farmatt 6, this kind of nutritious and shelf-stable and easy-to-carry "grain brick" may taste even better than the black bread that most of the civilians in the city usually eat as hard as stones, which can only be split with an axe, and can be used by housewives to kill thieves! At least it wasn't mixed with wood chips, grass chaff and chalk, and it wasn't baked with dry cow dung (to save more expensive firewood)......

In fact, the compressed biscuits that Levi and the others sold a few times ago had already been sold to neighboring countries through the caravans of these snappers, otherwise with the pitiful consumption power level of a small and medium-sized city like Itarica, I am afraid that they would not be able to eat the seemingly small amount of goods that Levi and they took out. Well, in addition, the thin tin boxes used by the Otherworlders for biscuits (military compressed biscuits are packed in tin boxes) were also dismantled by the indigenous traders and sold separately, and they sold quite well - with the technological level of this world, where could an ordinary blacksmith knock out such a thing by hand?

“…… The next batch of goods, 60 boxes of comprehensive fruit candy ......"

- Although it seems that there is no technical content, in fact, these seemingly ordinary fruit candies are also treasures that the natives of Falmatt Big 6 can't produce themselves, and can only be bought from the hands of people from other worlds, not to mention tropical fruits such as pineapples and mangoes, which don't seem to exist on this Big 6 at all. In addition, as in the case of compressed biscuits, the profiteers of Itarica City sold the fruit candy itself separately from the small colorful iron box outside, and slaughtered two portions of the money from the heads of customers......

“…… The next shipment, 80 pieces of white cotton T-shirts ......"

In fact, to Levi's surprise, the T-shirt, which doesn't seem to be a shabby thing and doesn't conform to the clothing of the Farmatt 6 natives, actually sells quite well. Later, I learned that the indigenous people were not going out shopping in T-shirts in the summer, but wore them as underwear when it was cold. Because cotton T-shirts are stretchy and sweat-absorbent, they are more comfortable to wear than their linen shirts and petticoats.

As for the appearance that is too simple and does not conform to aesthetics or something, anyway, it is worn in the innermost, and no one will generally see it......

“…… The next batch of goods, 100 colored melamine plastic bowls......"

While the merchants were noisily bidding for all kinds of otherworldly goods, a little further around the courtyard, the maids of Count Vermar's mansion and some of the female knights of the Rose Order were also looking at the group of otherworldly people with great interest.

As we all know, human beings have always had a tradition of worshipping and emulating the strong, an instinct that is almost etched in the marrow. So, after getting through the initial phase of fear and avoidance, Mr. Levi and the small group of Otherworldly soldiers who stayed in the city became the most high-profile figures in Itarica. And because of the fair, those of them who live in the Earl's Mansion have more opportunities to come into contact with people from other worlds.

Some of the young orc maids were staring intently at the strange colorful clothes of the otherworldly soldiers—anything new was attractive to children of their age. But no matter how long they looked at it, they still couldn't understand why those soldiers from other worlds had so many small squares and strange shapes on their clothes, because they thought they looked so good. Or is there something special about it? For example, could those patterns be some kind of special religious symbols from another world......

Others, the older and more shrewd maids, were thinking about how to get a little more out of the otherworldly, after all, they had so many good things around them—silk, sweets, porcelain, plastics, trinkets...... Moreover, some of them have already taken various opportunities to get some benefits from the hands of the otherworldly, although it is only a few pieces of candy or one or two small ornaments, but it is enough to make them very happy with their little knowledge.

If it weren't for the fact that these Otherworldly soldiers left every time before the sun went down and never stayed overnight in the Earl's Mansion, perhaps some of them would have offered themselves pillows to these generous Otherworldly soldiers...... There were also some maids who tried to find an opportunity to flirt with them, but unfortunately those otherworldly soldiers seemed to be quite wooden, and so far they had not received any response, let alone sent love letters or anything like that, which made the maids hate them so much......

All in all, in the crowd of the Earl's Mansion, all the earth goods that Levi took out this time were quickly sold out. However, this time the deal was not quite over, because there was another part of the purchase - the merchants who had brought the goods, under the scolding of the green-clad soldiers of the Otherworld, lined up to offer Levi the things that he had openly opened up beforehand and claimed to be going to buy at a high price: seeds of crops and flowers, various live wild or domestic animals, samples of minerals, rough gemstones, and books they had collected from various sources, etc.

Because of the worlds of difference in the values of different items between the two parties, the acquisition became a heartbeat game similar to the jade gambling stone. Some people brought family heirlooms, but they were valued as worthless by the otherworldly people and rejected them outright. Some people scraped together some miscellaneous items at the bottom of the box, but sold them for an incredibly high price...... However, no one dared to blackmail or play tricks, and the whole transaction process was quite orderly.

Even the maids who worked in the mansion lined up at the end of the line with the smuggled goods they had collected from all over the city and the suburbs in their leisure time, trying to hit the fortune and sell them for a good price...... However, the old butler of the Earl's Mansion, Bartholome, a bad old man who appeared to be sanctimonious on the surface, but was actually greedy for money, lustful and gambling, had already gone one step further, secretly hooked up with Levi in private, and stole and sold all the hundreds of private books in the old Earl's study behind the back of everyone in the Earl's Mansion for the price of thirty rolls of silk and a large box of jewelry.

What's worse is that even the diaries of the late old earl and countess were accidentally sold to the earthlings in the middle, providing a very detailed first-hand information for many humanities scholars on the other side of the earth to study the daily life and debauchery and entertainment of the aristocratic class in another world...... In the future, there will be at least ten fantasy books, a cartoon and a miniseries on the earth, and through various exaggerated artistic renderings, the former Count Vermar has become a "special playful" image similar to the Marquis de Sade of France in the eyes of earthlings......

At noon, the fair finally came to a successful conclusion. However, just as Levi and the others were packing up their things and preparing to leave, the nominal owner of the city, the eleven-year-old Countess of Fomar, Miu, shyly approached and invited Levi and the others to lunch in the mansion.

Glancing at Penny Bead, the captain of the White Rose who was shrinking behind him, Levi suddenly realized: It is estimated that this little girl has finally come to her senses and wants to sit down and have a meal together, ease the relationship, and express her apologies for the previous challenges...... So he nodded his head in agreement.

ps: I read a war report, since Turkey sent troops to Syria, there has been both indiscriminate bombing by the air force, and a large number of leading party assists, and IsIs has been fighting for half a year, but it has not yet taken the city of Bab, which is 30 kilometers away from the border, and 54 tanks and armored vehicles alone have been destroyed by IsIs. Not to mention the US military's momentum in the Gulf War and the Iraq War. Even compared with the self-defense and counterattack war against Vietnam in the past, which was also in the dilemma of political chaos and insufficient training, the PLA still broke through the enemy's territory nearly 100 kilometers in 20 days at the farthest possible distance - it can only be said that today's Turkish army seems to be more useless than the sick man of West Asia in World War I......
