Chapter 285: Qiyi Tower
Jiugong Senior Trading Zone.
The roads here are clean and wide, and there are no stalls on either side, just rows of tall and neat stone houses made of limestone. It's the big tribes, and even a few super tribes at the commodity trading point of the Nine Crafts.
Although it is not as crowded as the low-end trading area, it is still full of people.
The Nine Towers also set up a trading point here, which is the tallest of the nine buildings in the premium trading area.
Odd Art Tower Trading Point.
It is a wide two-story stone house, the exterior wall is painted with beige paint, and the inside of the house is lined with many stone platforms with rounded incisions, and on the stone platform are placed many things that have never been seen by outsiders.
There are close-to-foot shoes sewn from animal skins, "cong" flip-flops with wooden bottoms, combs polished with mussel shells, adzes for flat wooden utensils, huge triangular cocoons for agriculture, needles as thin as hairs, strange horn mussels are placed all over the stone platform, and even a huge star catalog made of tortoise shell is placed in the center.
People come and go, people from all tribes buy things from the Qiyi Tower here, but the second floor of it is not allowed to enter, and the lively first floor seems to be two worlds.
At this moment, in the wide and quiet second floor, there was only one soldier with a goatee, who sat quietly by a stone platform, and was polishing a fishbone comb very seriously, which he had given to his companion.
The sound of water drops ticked and ticked.
Next to him, there is a large bluestone utensil.
It was a drip bottle drain, and at the very bottom of it was a tiny hole that was invisible, and droplets of water slowly dripped into the container underneath, and the water slowly accumulated, and soon the water reached a horizontal line drawn on the edge of the container.
After grinding the fishbone comb, the Nine Workers put it down, stood up, picked up a basin of water at his feet, and slowly poured the water into the funnel where the drip can was leaking.
At this moment, a dark-skinned, short-skinned man suddenly touched him lightly.
"Usu-sama, Ususu-sama?" he called softly.
The Jiugong soldier named Yijiu continued to pour the water slowly, and said without turning his head: "Slippery, what are you looking for me?"
It turned out that the person who touched the second floor was the slip of the Night Mountain tribe.
Slipping his head down and hunching his waist, he secretly glanced at the huge drip bottle leak beside Yi U. And slandered in his heart: This Jiugong adult is really strange, it's not too troublesome to make such a big thing, I don't know how many times to add water every day, just to calculate what time.
Whether it's counting or not, it's not a day that has passed, and if you want to know what time it is, just look up at the sun or ask yourself if you're hungry.
However, although he was slandering in his heart, he did not dare to show the slightest disrespect on his face, and carefully took out a honey-colored candle from his bosom with his neck bent.
This is exactly the one that Ye Xi gave him.
Not long after Ye Xi went back, he sent Duan Ling to send him a root, and he didn't stop for a moment after receiving it, and immediately ran over with a candle in his hand.
Qiyi Pagoda is different from the other eight pagodas, as the name suggests, it refers to all the strange skills except for the eight arts. Some small tribes will also have their own special skills, and if Qiyi Tower takes a fancy to it, they will also buy it.
Originally, candles like those made by Ye Xi were enough to attract the attention of Qiyi Tower, but Ye Xi only sold them once, and only sold more than 200 at a time, like a small splash on the lake, and the people of Qiyi Tower didn't notice it at all.
No, it's not like I didn't notice.
At least Slippery, who had a connection to Qiyi Tower, noticed it immediately. He has a fierce eye, and he sees that the people in the Qiyi Tower will be interested in candles, and they will immediately come to ask for credit after arriving at the candle.
Slippery lit a fire with flint, lit the candle and handed it to Yijiu: "My lord, I found something interesting again, you see." ”
Yijiu finished filling the pot drain, put down the basin and turned around.
The candle was handed to him, and the warm yellow candlelight was swaying slightly.
Yi U was stunned when she saw it, and wiped the water stains on her hands before carefully taking the candle with both hands.
He turned the candle and looked left and right repeatedly, then leaned closer and sniffed with his nose, scraped some wax off with his fingernails, and rubbed it with his fingers.
"Where did this thing come from?"
Low-level trading area.
The street was full of people, and Ye Xi, who was in the crowd, was striding towards the direction of the high-end trading area in the face of the thin snowflakes.
As he walked, he stared at the void in front of him fixedly, as if thinking about something.
At this moment, a shout of surprise stopped him: "Little brother!
Ye Xi looked back at it, and saw that in the crowd, Hua Zheng was standing next to a middle-aged soldier in a vermilion robe, waving his hand excitedly at him.
Both sides walked towards each other.
Slid his finger at Yi Jiu, who was dressed gorgeously beside him, said, "This is the Lord in the Nine Towers, and I want to see you." ”
Originally, he wanted to bring Ye Xi to see Yi Jiu, but he didn't expect Yi Jiu to be afraid that Ye Xi would leave Jiugong, so he couldn't wait to slide to call someone and come with him in person.
Ye Xi was about to say hello, but saw Yi Jiu looking down at his shoes steadily, and said in surprise: "Huh?!"
Yijiu suddenly bent down.
This action was as if he was bowing to Ye Xi, Ye Xi couldn't help but take a small step back, but Yi Jiu immediately shouted: "Don't move!"
In the eyes that were about to fall out of the frame in shock, the noble Yi Jiu actually squatted at Ye Xi's feet, and reached out to dust the snowflakes on Ye Xi's uppers.
"Your Excellency, ...... you" Slippery was almost speechless in shock.
Yi Jiu ignored him, suddenly stood up, and grabbed Ye Xi's arm excitedly: "How is the animal skin of your shoes nitrated, and what kind of material is used for the soles of your shoes?!"
Now that the weather is cold, many primitive people will wrap a layer of animal skin on their feet, or wear animal skin soft shoes made by Qiyi Tower.
Everyone had something wrapped around their feet, and Ye Xi was wearing an animal skin robe outside the linen clothes, and the bottom of the robe covered the leather boots, and the upper of the shoes would only be exposed when he was walking, so the nine workers who were charging outside the circle at the beginning did not notice it.
But Yi Jiu's eyes were so vicious that he noticed it at a glance.
Ye Xi didn't break free of Yijiu's hand, but smiled and said, "Don't worry, adult. ”
Yi Jiu is a person from the super tribe in the end, and immediately relieved himself, bowed and said, "I am Yi Jiu of Qiyi Tower, and I am very interested in your shoes, why don't we go to our trading point together and have a good talk?"
Ye Xi's eyes moved slightly, the corners of his lips curled a little deeper, he glanced at the slip that kept rubbing his hands on the side, and immediately understood in his heart that Yi Jiu was supposed to come to him for the candle.
He had also heard about Qiyi Tower, and he was going to go around its trading point, but he didn't expect it to move so quickly. Before he could find it, this person was automatically sent to the door.
Ye Xi calmly returned the salute: "Kid Ye Xi of the Yanwen tribe, Lord Yijiu is invited, Xi is honored, and he dares to disobey his fate." ”
