The merchant did not come alone in this port fortress - it would be very dangerous for a merchant to travel alone in this vast northern land, unless he was very strong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Needless to say, looters. There is a tradition of going out to rob the area. When you are busy, you are a farmer, and when you are free, you are a bandit. This kind of thing has a long history - yes, I don't know why some people think that the Northlanders are some kind of sea nomads. In fact, although fishing, maritime trade and other behaviors are very important to the Northlanders. But in general, the Northlanders are authentic farmers. And regard farming as a noble livelihood. They frequently go out to rob because of the bitter cold land of the northland, and their income from farming alone is limited. Therefore, there is a situation in which peasants hold hoes for farmers and carry spears for bandits.

In addition, due to climatic reasons, the light and heat conditions in the north are insufficient, and the field output is limited. If there are fewer people in a field, then naturally people will be squeezed out. Many of the people who were squeezed out naturally engaged in a business that did not cost money -- robbery. Of course, robbing in this world is not an easy task. You must have a martial arts. And some guys who take advantage of it. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to grab something, but you will be killed by the caravan guards. However, the people of the Northland are fierce, known as a fighting nation, and they can go out to fight bears when they are drunk. So the conditions for the robbery are not a problem.

In addition, the Northland went out to raid and prey. This is also related to the fact that Northland is good at shipbuilding and has developed navigation technology. After all, the officers and soldiers catch robbers. Bandits need high mobility to get away from capture. That's why bandits in some areas are called rattle horses, horse thieves - they rely on horses to improve their mobility and transport looted goods.

Boats are better to use than horses, though. Because the ship is not easy to follow on the vast sea, and the horse's words will leave hoof prints and horse manure to show the way for the pursuers. Horses also depend on roads and water. Second, the transportation capacity of ships is much stronger than that of horses. You can use it to send more swag.

The continent was also once raided by nomadic peoples. However, there is now almost no danger of this. Because the nomadic robbers, after several blows, found that the robbery on horseback was more and more unprofitable. So I gave up. However, in the Northland, only in recent years, the world has a lot of scales.

Therefore, when going out to do business, it is safe to form a business group. But in fact, in fact, in some cases, the merchant group will also transform into a bandit group - that is, when the other party is rich in money and lack of force, the merchant group is likely to change its image and rob the other party. And if the other party is strong, then do business honestly. This is the rule of the Northland, the atmosphere of the Northland. When the footman bragged to Martin that he had helped sell the stolen goods, he was so bold that he didn't blush at all.

However, although the Northland is so dangerous, it still can't stop Martin's footsteps. For the sake of Liukrisia, Martin is not afraid of these hardships and dangers.

Although Martin was eager to grow wings and fly over to get things done. But I still had the patience to prepare for life. He understands that speed is not enough. It will also take a while for the merchant to deal with the caravan. So Martin simply gave everyone a leave of absence and let everyone have a good time to renovate.

Yes, because it is too dangerous to do business alone in the Northlands. So even though it is a small businessman. The merchant was also to join the caravan. And when you enter the caravan, you have to obey the rules. Now he had promised to go with Martin in search of the dagger, and that he would need to hand over some matters with the caravan before he could leave the caravan. Although his little cargo is nothing compared to Martin's bounty. However, it is very important to join the caravan and abide by the rules, and after he becomes a merchant in the future, he will also rely on the prestige he has accumulated in the merchant circle in the past.

And in turn, Martin's group of people. All the way to here, on the way, I first experienced a fierce battle with the enemy, and then ran non-stop with fast horses. Although it is not obvious on the surface, it is now very tired and needs to take a good rest. This is more beneficial for the future adventure, after all, sharpening the knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter. The Northland is a very dangerous land, and no one knows what they will encounter in the rest of their adventures, whether it is the elusive snow ape, the dangerous winter wolf, or the terrifying cold deer, or the dangerous ice worm, or even the mighty white dragon. So it's always good to be prepared.

Physically, I have recovered a lot since I came to the fortress. But I haven't relaxed mentally. Adventurers are also human beings, and if they keep straining their nerves, they will break. So Martin's decision also has deep considerations. Moreover, when he first arrived at the fortress, he used a special magic method that cost a lot of gold to communicate with Canion, who was thousands of miles away, and told him that there was no change, and that Martin should be cautious and not rush to take risks.

This fortress, because it has a port and also serves as a transshipment warehouse in the North Sea Country, also attracts many merchants from all over the world. Yes, the people of the Northland are not only brave and good at fighting, but also very good at trading. Their caravan ships often made their way to all corners of the world. Even in some inland areas. However, only a stout and powerful merchant and a part-time pirate could carry a ship carrying cargo on a long land journey, and then drop it down to sail where there is water. These guys, who let the ships conquer the land through perseverance, certainly won't let go of such a piece of fortune.

Because of its geographical advantages, the port was quite prosperous in trade. In the few days he had been here, Martin had seen many times with local merchants towing boats to trade - because the lakes and rivers were frozen in winter, making them unnavigable. Many people use flat-bottomed boats, rope-pulled boats to carry goods across frozen rivers and lakes.

Therefore, the ladies who have relaxed inevitably regained their nature. Twittering ran to the bazaar to shop and hang out - well, in fact, it was Natasha who was the main one who did this, and the others were led by her. After all, the ladies in the team are different from the usual ladies.

Although the north is bitterly cold, production is limited. Not as rich as the South, but because of the hard-working Northland merchants, and the brutal Northland bandits (sometimes the two are almost one). Therefore, there are still a lot of good products on the market. For example, the cloth, with its brocade and silk brought from a distant place, made Natasha delight. Because she had to consider the dowry that would be in line with her status when she got married. She's going to wear it at that time. And the goods in front of you are indeed quite good.

Except for those foreign goods. Many local goods are also quite valuable. Needless to say, all kinds of thick and gorgeous furs. It is precisely because of the bitter cold of the north that this high-quality fur is produced here. Not only can they find wolves, bears, seals, but they can also see the fur of various monsters.

In addition, various local jewelry and other handicrafts are also quite good. The winters in the Northland are long and boring, so many people snuggle up in their houses to work on their crafts. So in the end, these people, who were regarded as barbarians, actually had a large number of beneficiaries. The gold and silver jewelry they created was very good, and the goldsmiths of the Northland were very famous, and they were also key figures in many heroic legends.

There are also many people who are good at carving, and a statue that resembles an ivory carved out of the Northland is also quite popular. A lot of people don't know what that kind of ivory-like material is. Legend has it that it was the horn of a unicorn. Martin, on the other hand, knew at a glance that it was actually the teeth of a whale named a narwhal. The left tooth of this whale male will give birth to a long tooth that can be up to three meters long. It is a good material for carving. And the craftsmanship of those ingenious artists is really good. Even Martin bought some to take home.

The more Martin looked closely, the more he felt that the artistic aesthetics of these northerners were unfathomable. These people, who are regarded as barbarians, are actually quite fond of beauty. Pay attention to hairdressing, rest your beard or anything, and even carve exquisite patterns on your hoe.

Martin generously gave the girls a handsome commission. So that they can make a good purchase. Natasha showed her girl's love for beauty and bought a lot of jewelry and silk. It's all pretty stuff. Instead of buying these ornaments, Shirley bought a lot of runes and ancient scrolls with magic inscriptions on them. This kind of magic text on this land has a mysterious power, which is different from the mystery outside of the magic system that Shirley is familiar with. She was clearly interested in researching, or at least bringing some back to the professors at the college.

As for Zali, she is looking east and west, she is curious about everything, and she wants to buy everything. After all, some of the ordinary things on the surface are extremely new to her from the underground. But Martin watched her closely, for he knew that if he let her do it, she would be able to steal it all in a while. As a dark elf, Zali's agility is unmatched by humans. And if a dark elf wanderer makes a move...... However, it is inevitable that the clever thief will miss the time, and now he has learned the news of the holy artifact. Martin didn't want to make any more trouble, so he kept Zari under strict control.

As for Sophia, she bought a white sheet shaped like a butterfly for a lot of money. Even the well-informed Martin, and the knowledgeable Shirley, didn't know what it was. What does it mean? Martin asked her what it was, and Sophia just lowered her head and smiled, but didn't say a word. Martin's questioning was forbidden, and she blushed.

Actually, the white, butterfly-like thing is a piece of a sturgeon's skull. The sturgeon is a large ancient aquatic creature. The nobles of Sophia's people also used the peculiarly shaped skull of the sturgeon as a token of affection.

Sophia, who had bought the treasure, left the team, carried it, and came into the woods alone, chanting in a low voice, "May the flame burn in the heart of the king, and let me, my posture, and my face remain in the heart of the king......"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― say, the new theatrical version of "Madoka Magical Girl" has been released. Unlike the previous theatrical version, this time it's a new plot, and Xiao Miyan's battle continues. I won't talk about a lot of spoilers on the Internet, in the official promotional video, Xiao Meiyan and her senior sister shootout, show gun fighting skills, pink and black reunion, and red and blue games together and other praise pictures. This one is still great and worth watching. It's a bit more difficult for me to go to Hong Kong. However, I heard that the film museum in Beijing is also going to be released, so I will have to go to Beijing to see it when the time comes.

But speaking of which, after "Madoka Magical Girl", my interest in Japanese animation has decreased significantly. That is, look at the funny fan.,I haven't even finished reading fatezero.。 Is this the legendary taste change?But not long ago, "I'm not popular, it's all your fault", it's still quite good, highly recommended.

In other words, there are fewer animations to watch, and the games played are mainly World of Tanks, and there are fewer novels to read, not to mention fantasy settings or something. Under these circumstances, I feel that writing this novel is even more difficult. Because I don't love that aspect of things so much...... Recommend me some boutiques to solve this situation!

Having said that sleep deprivation is a big enemy, you should be warned, it will make you indifferent to a lot of things that really take up your energy, and you will waste time on the Internet. I think my enthusiasm for ornamental fish farming has dissipated a lot recently, and it has something to do with this? Obviously, I just bought a finished small tank, and I also specially mail-ordered a native shrimp from the south. Hey, the domestic red-nosed shrimp I wanted before, I was quite disappointed after I got it, and I felt that it didn't look much different from the black shell, maybe it was still small.
