Chapter 140: Primitive Commerce
"Are you really not going to camp together tonight?" asked Kense, the corpse witch, a little worriedly, "There will be no light at all at night, if you haven't felt the capital at that time, maybe you will be stuck on the road, rather than that, it is better to stay here for one night, and set off early tomorrow morning, it is estimated that you will be able to arrive at the capital at noon at the latest, and it will not take too much time, and the trip will not seem so rushed." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"It's at least three hours before it gets dark, and according to Ken's introduction, the road conditions in the mountains are quite good, and our speed is relatively fast, and three hours should be enough time for us to reach our destination. Even if you get into trouble on the way, it doesn't matter if you can't make it, and it's not the first time we've done a temporary camping in the wilderness, so there won't be any difficulties, so please don't worry. Catherine smiled faintly, shook her head and refused, "You know, Mr. Kenser, that we have come to the appointment at the invitation of your master, and it would be rude to make him wait too long. Moreover, someone who has been invited is already very anxious and can't wait to complete the agreement, so it is good to be able to get a few hours early, so it is better to hit the road as soon as possible. ”
"Hehe, then I won't advise you. A hideous smile appeared on Kense's shriveled and terrifying face, the rare undead spirit of the corpse witch looked like a dried corpse wrapped in rags and completely dehydrated, and the smile that showed even a sane adult would tremble with fright when he saw it, even if it was just a friendly smile. Fortunately, there will be no such phenomenon of decay in the world of the dead, and the shriveled skin of the corpse witch will not be filled with a foul smell like the legend because of the influence of death energy, which invisibly reduces their horror level, but even so, if it is not for the adventure experience, a veteran like Catherine and them may not be able to maintain a normal look in the face of the corpse witch. Of course, the corpse witch himself was not conscious of this, but said very normally: "That mountain road is indeed not difficult to walk, according to the map I drew for you, you can directly cross the mountains from the valley, as long as you don't venture to climb the mountain, there will be no danger, three hours, if you walk fast enough, it should be no problem." Well, now that you've made up your mind, I'm here to wish you a safe journey, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you must come here often to play, I'm mainly running this line of trade, and if you come from the gate of your hometown, maybe you will have a chance to meet again. ”
"I take the liberty of asking. The chubby princess and the shriveled corpse witch stand together, it is simply two extremes, the difference between one fat and one thin makes it difficult to control their expressions, of course, Her Royal Highness the princess also has this consciousness, just like a fat man who absolutely refuses to approach within three meters of a thin friend, Her Royal Highness the princess also hid away, coughed dryly and raised her voice and asked: "Actually, there are people I have always wanted to ask along the way, but I was worried that this was your trade secret, so I didn't dare to speak, but now I can't help it." Of course, this person is not me, but if I don't ask, my waist will be pinched, so Mr. Kense, can you tell me what you are transporting, and is there trade between you undead?"
"Hahahaha, Miss Freya, Miss Lina will be angry if you talk like that. Although they had only been together for two days, the people in the caravan had already seen Lina's curious and timid personality very clearly, and Kenser couldn't help laughing and teasing Lina, and in the face of the priest girl's flushed glare, the corpse witch barely held back a smile and said: "In fact, in the past, there was indeed no trade between our undead, everyone built their own houses, made their own furniture, and farmed their own fields, and each village was self-sufficient, and there was little communication between them. The rise of trade is still a matter of the last decade, and as the number of resurrected undead increases, there are more and more villages and towns, and among the revived undead, some like to farm, some like to build houses, some like to make tools, and some like to make handicrafts, so everyone began to exchange their goods with other people. ”
"The most primitive business. Catherine whispered to Lina as she explained, "This process was introduced in the economics of the aristocratic course, and after the most basic necessities of life had been satisfied, business activities often followed. However, the process of their undead is dozens of times faster than that of the living souls, which have only developed after hundreds of years. ”
"It's normal, after the undead are revived, they will still leave some memories of their lives. Pannis said, "It's much faster than the creatures who are starting from scratch at all." ”
"Haha, you're right. Kense, waving his shriveled hands, said approvingly: "Just like me, I seem to have been exposed to this kind of activity before in my memory, so when everyone was still exchanging goods with their neighbors, I organized the current caravan according to my impression, exchanged all kinds of products between various villages, and then took them to the next village to exchange more specialties, and slowly became the largest caravan in the world." However, although everyone in the caravan can get a lot of supplies every time they exchange, and they can live well even if they don't do anything in the future, they always feel that something is missing. ”
"There is a lack of a unified currency, but I am afraid that it will be developed for a long time. Catherine sighed and said, "So, your current goods are the specialties of various villages in this world?"
"That's right, there are bone carvings, there are stone carvings, there are fine bone tools, there are special plants. Keseer pointed to the goods that were placed on a high place and said, "Anyway, there are all kinds of specialties in it, and we have exchanged them everywhere." ”
"That's right. Catherine habitually touched her chin like Pannis, and said thoughtfully: "Then I don't know if you have thought about it, since the door of the hometown is open......"
"To trade with the creatures?" The soul fire in Kense's eyes shone brightly, but it soon dimmed again, and he shook his head and said, "No, it is said that the creatures are very hostile to us, and we can't figure out what the creatures like, no, we need to think about it carefully." ”
"Of course, I mean that after the situation on both sides has stabilized and can communicate normally, it will definitely not be the current situation. Catherine's smile was indescribable, and she whispered, "As for the latter concern, it just so happens that I happen to have a deep relationship with the biggest merchant in the living world, if we cooperate......"
