Chapter 1308: Five Gold Coins
The amount of compensation demanded by the priest of the goddess was not much, only five imperial gold coins. But how could Li Anna agree, I passed by you, and you asked for five gold coins, there is no such reason.
Stoke persuaded him, and he said to Li Anna: "In the underground world, there are many such things, although the other party finds fault, but if we have time to do it with him, we can also find it back and let him compensate us." There are many such opportunities, and we are just in a hurry now, and there is no way to retaliate. ”
"You mean, you don't need to fight?"
"Of course, we destroyed this dwarven tribe, and we have no income, this tribe is very poor. ”
"Then you deal with it, I'll only compensate you for one gold coin, and I'll be allowed to walk in a straight line. ”
Stoke actually agreed to come down and bring someone to negotiate, and sure enough, in just over half an hour, the priest of the spider goddess agreed to come down, only need to compensate one gold coin, and the dwarf tribe will not pursue it, and allow their team to walk in a straight line through the fringes of the tribe.
"How did you get that?" asked Stoker, curious.
"I sold them some spirits. ”
"Selling alcohol?"
"Yes, it's just a barrel of spirits, or brought from our temple, and it was sold for four gold coins, and it probably made three and a half gold coins. Here, food is scarce, and even if the dwarves want to drink, they can't get it, so they can only spend money to buy it elsewhere. ”
"Won't they buy grain and make wine?"
"Whoever sells them grain, if they do, won't they be able to sell high-priced wine?" Stoker's smile was so hateful.
Li Anna was speechless, well, this is an inexplicable social environment, everyone cheats each other, and the cost of living must be unexpectedly high. She thought that the underground world was poor and everything was cheap.
A barrel of spirits, dare to sell for four gold coins?
In Rhode Island, this kind of spirit, presumably, is used for sterilization, or in some restaurants, as an ingredient in cooking, to remove some bad taste from food. There are also those who use it as medicine, but they do not use it to drink.
By the way, it is also used in the alchemy factory, and there are quite a few places where it is used, but it is all consumed in tons and tons.
However, this trade cannot be regarded as part of the trade, the dwarven tribe has limited spending power, and you can't sell tens of thousands of barrels of spirits.
It seems that this harvest is good, a barrel of wine earns three and a half gold coins, minus the compensation of one gold coin or something, there is also an income of two and a half gold coins, but this income cannot last.
"My lord, they are living a good life, living in the upper class, they don't need to face the demonic beasts at the bottom, and there are hundreds of craftsmen in the tribe, and by making parts for the temple, they don't have to worry about starving to death and the old and weak. As for the bottom world, it is relatively difficult for this kind of small tribe to survive, and any monster that emerges from the bottom may make them exterminate. ”
"Doesn't the temple care about below?"
"The words of the spider goddess, there are still beliefs spread below, but they are all scattered and not strong. There were more than twenty priests just now, but deep underground, there might only be a tenth-level priest there. Monsters even have epic levels, how to fight them. ”
Li Anna thought about it, laughed again, and said: "My identity, I don't need to study these anymore, as long as I can understand it, how to deal with things like the underground world, I will leave it to people like you to do." ”
Stoke was stunned, and then understood what Anna Li meant.
Li Anna is the kind of big person in the real sense, and what she has to deal with will not be the small things in the underground world. The entire dwarven tribe, she can be exterminated with a single sword. What is troublesome to others is nothing to her. For others, it is a trade of hundreds of gold coins a year, and for her, these hundreds of gold coins are not enough for a bottle of spiritual liquid.
Of course, it's to help a big man like her, to deal with this kind of problem that she is too lazy to take care of.
It stands to reason that the trade volume of a few hundred gold coins is not small, but considering the content of the trade, it is not very good. Some liquor, some food, some ordinary clothing, some very low-level magical items.
On the Rhode Island side, it is a matter of dozens of gold coins at most, and it is mainly low-level magic items that will be measured in gold coins.
A year, dozens of gold coins of supplies, that's really not worth paying attention to.
And in the underworld, the temple is exploiting these tribes. The mechanical parts built by the dwarves are quite good products, and the things that are exchanged for are just grain spirits. The temple buys food from Rhodes Island. Rhode Island, on the other hand, is planted directly in a factory, and if it is not Lingmi, the planting time is shorter and the cost is lower.
What is a grain factory? It is a large-scale production on a monthly basis. What is consumed is energy, nutrients, and time in exchange.
As for energy, there is a kind of geothermal energy, as long as you can find a suitable location, the cost is very low.
Unlike the Fire Raven No. 1, you need to plant spiritual rice near the sun.
That cost is not low, it needs to be very large to reduce the cost.
The dwarf tribe asked for five gold coins in compensation, it was purely poor and crazy, and I didn't think that the other party would give it, so I just entangled it to see if I could get some benefits. So it was easy for Stoke to bargain, five gold coins became one gold coin, and the dwarves were quite happy. Then he bought wine to celebrate, and spent the gold coins he had blackmailed.
Can they be regarded as a race of intelligence? They can build precision mechanical parts, it should be counted, but this attitude to life, with the cultural inheritance of today and tomorrow, is doomed, and the future of these dwarves will always be in the underground world.
Human beings are different, there are always some people who yearn for things that are so ethereal.
In one word, it's eternity.
Human beings pursue eternity, and Daomen is the product of this pursuit.
You see, human beings, when they reach a certain stage of cultivation, they go to the astral realm to travel farther away, and they don't want to be bound by a star.
When the follow-up team passed through the tribe, the priest of the spider goddess came to meet Anna.
She humbly apologized to Li Anna and said, "Honorable lord, I also have no choice but to appease these dwarves, you must understand that they are not human, they are very vulgar, and they cannot be measured by the standards of civilization. Thank you for leaving the temple with dignity this time. ”
Li Anna smiled: "It's because I have a good temper, don't do this in the future, at least send someone to inform you in advance." ”
The priestess was embarrassed and said, "The underground world is all used to it, and both sides know what's going on. ”
"Well, but the underground world may not be so peaceful, if you deal with outsiders in the future, you have to understand a truth, that is, your rules will soon be shattered by outside forces. What is the rank of the most powerful dwarf in this tribe?"
"There is an old legend who is dying, and his son is a warrior of level thirty-five. ”
"Then I'll send someone casually, and it will be solved. Why do you preach your doctrine?"
"Thank you for your advice, I'll report to the temple and keep an eye out for the future. The priestess prostrateged.
"Forget it, my duke, and you goddess have a good relationship. I'm not going to report it, it's not a big deal. Did you come to see me for any request?"
"I'm level twenty-five, and I want to exchange it for some spiritual liquid, but I can't afford the money on me. I've accumulated some materials over the years, and I hope you can help me. ”
"What is the material?"
The priestess took out the glandular sac of a demon spider and handed it to Li Anna, who checked it, it was a colored liquid, the quality was not bad, and when it was pulled out, it could condense spider silk at will. The important thing is that this thing is still active, and when it condenses, it can organize the structure of the spider silk according to the magician's control.
If you are willing to invest in the cost, you can condense the legendary level spider silk.
"Enough to make a glove, well, any of you who has an epic level of aura, give her five bottles. ”
The priestess was overjoyed and bowed to Anna. Li Anna mainly didn't want to make much money from her, otherwise she would just give her a bottle.
The colored liquid in this demon spider gland sac, in Li Anna's hands, can also create a legendary-level sword sac.
However, Li Anna did not need the sword sac made of this foreign material, and the glandular sac under her hand was purely to take care of this little priest.
The thing itself, with its uniqueness, cannot be used on a large scale, and this material, in the case of the duke, is innumerable, piled up in warehouses.
There are many advantages of this thing, but the disadvantage is that each piece needs to be designed separately, and if it can't give full play to the particularity inside, it is not as good as the standard equipment of the dukedom, and the cost will be high.
So the priestess was very grateful, she knew the rules of the earthly world.
"My lord, I don't thank you for it, but I'm going to give it to you. The priestess took something like a dagger, crooked and palm-long, but it was the front paw of a demon spider.
Li Anna calmly accepted a magic weapon of more than twenty levels, and gave her five bottles of spiritual liquid, if she didn't return a little gift, it would be unteachable.
The quality of this weapon is good, it is enough to create a special sword talisman, which can reach level thirty-five.
Li Anna didn't pay attention to it, but she felt that when it was time to accept apprentices, she just didn't concentrate on looking for it, and she couldn't meet any good seedlings at the moment.
If she accepts apprentices, she will definitely not be like her uncle, she will find one after so many years, and she will definitely cultivate a group of sword cultivators. Then there will be those with high achievements and those with low achievements.
If you have low achievements, you can't ignore them, after all, they are subordinates. They may have been wandering around the first order for a while, so whether it is this glandular sac or the demon spider's claws, they are all good materials and equipment.
"Senior Sister Anna, that glandular sac, give it to me?" Qing Ying was not polite at all.
Li Anna didn't ask, she took the glandular sac casually and threw it to Qing Ying. Qing Sakura took it in her hand and probed it, and sure enough, as she thought, this thing was full of mucus stored in it, and she could extract spider silk.
The most important thing is that it is up to her to decide what kind of spider silk is extracted.
