Chapter 61: Limestone Dragons Chamber of Commerce (2)

Before Levi finished speaking, Byron answered directly, which directly reflected his excellent quality of seeing the wind and steering the rudder. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info saw him take a few breaths, and a dusty past was narrated in his mouth.

"I have to start with my grandfather......"

Hearing the first words of the dead fat man, Levi had already opened his mouth wide, although he had not yet reached the point of swallowing a big red apple, but it was enough to show his surprise at the moment.

Dare to love this thing and have a history?

Slowly, Andrew on the side was also dumbfounded.

This old man has dedicated almost his whole life to the Limestone Collar, but he didn't expect that when he was old, he found that there was such a huge secret hidden here.

According to Byron, the family had begun such an "abnormal" trade about a hundred years ago in his grandfather's generation.

For such a long time, they acted as middlemen, obtaining cheap weapons, medicinal herbs, and many arcane beast materials from their upper dragon and mouse people, and selling these in Limestone City. The profits are their own, but the principal must be used to buy food and be handed over to the dragon rat people again.

It all started with a chance encounter.

A hundred years ago, his grandfather, Dick Limestone, was a poor teenager in Limestone City, apprenticed to a small chamber of commerce. On a special night, he meets someone who changed his life.

It wasn't a man, to be exact, but a rat man, a wounded dragon rat man.

Anyway, out of kindness, Dick rescued it and kept it in his home. Two months later, the dragon rat man recovered from his injuries and said goodbye without saying goodbye. But only three days later, it came to Dick with something. It was a precious Mana crystal, which the Dragoni used to reward Dick for his help. At first, Dick did not accept the gift, believing it to be stolen. It wasn't until I saw the underground society of the dragon rat people under the leadership of the dragon rat people that I realized that this was not stolen goods. He sold the Mana Crystals, but only charged the dragon mouse man for healing his wounds, and handed over the rest to his owner. This practice has been recognized by the dragon rat people. It was also the first business that their family officially started.

After that, Dick and the nezumi collaboration began. Due to his outstanding business talent, he developed a special business line.

First of all, through the channel of the nezumi, Dick gets a lot of cheap goods. Using his human identity as a cover, he set up a special chamber of commerce to sell them, and buy food and other things for the nezumi to make the difference. In just over ten years, he has accumulated a lot of family business.

As their collaborators, the nezumi also monopolized the underground trade in Limestone City, and collectively established their own chamber of commerce. The "Greystone Dragonman Chamber of Commerce" was famous in that world.

"Are you sure you're not kidding?" Levi was simply hysterical, "Where did this Grey Rock Rat or something come from?And the Nezumi thing, how could it be ......" He suddenly stopped talking, because now that even the Maned Werewolves can establish a country, why can't the Nezumi establish a Chamber of Commerce?

Levi began to silently recall the Nezumi's information.

Nezumen, rat people to be exact, are a type of humanoid intelligent life, and probably the most special kind. They probably look like a large mouse, the closest thing to a protozous of all humanoid life.

But it's not just that, they include a number of firsts.

When the rat-man grows into adulthood, it can grow to the size of a medium-sized dog and weigh about 10 kilograms, making it the smallest humanoid intelligent life.

The rat-people are capable of reproducing to an alarming level. They are in heat all year round, can get pregnant three times a year, and can give birth to seven or eight cubs in a litter. The rat people born in the first year are already mature in the third year. It is the most fertile humanoid intelligent life.

The life of a nezumi is divided into several segments, and lifespan is everything. Because of the harsh living environment, the average lifespan of a rat is about twelve or thirteen years. Although their natural lifespan is longer than that of humans, reaching a staggering three hundred years. A rat-man under the age of ten is as intelligent as a beast. But if they push that boundary, they will have a second chance to develop their brains for the next decade or so. A rat-man in his twenties has an intelligence roughly equivalent to that of a ten-year-old child, and can communicate normally. If they live to be thirty years old, then in the next two or three years, they will start their third metamorphosis. This time, not only the brain is developed, but even the body shape will change, and the proportions of the limbs will gradually tend to be human, becoming half-human and half-mouse. At this time, they can be regarded as humanoid intelligent life in the true sense of the word. If they live to be 100 years old, they can "evolve" again and understand a variety of special abilities. At this time, the nezumi were called elders and were the absolute leaders of the rat crowd. This definite stage of development is also the most special one of human-like intelligent life.

It's not like Levi hasn't seen a nezumi before. Previously, in order to test the ability to "listen to the voice of all things", he specially had someone catch one, but he was disappointed.

Recalling the guy in the cage, Levi looked disgusted.

I have to say that the average rat man is indeed not good-looking, and it is a kind of enlarged version of the sewer black rat, or the one with red eyes.

“...... I have to say, your grandfather was a good man who could have compassion for something like that. Levi added, "I see them and I just want to kill them......

"My lord, no. Dragonmen aren't your average nezumi, they're cute-uh, pretty -- not the scruffy look of your average rat man. Byron interrupted Levi's words, and after being stunned for a while, he cried again, "Your Excellency, although we are not above board, we are doing serious business." Over the years, I have also paid a lot of taxes to you and your family......"

"Less, my life is not so worthless. Levi's face turned cold, "Let me ask you, how much do you know about the maned werewolf?"

"Maned werewolf?" Byron was about to retort, but he was stunned when he heard these three words, "Do they have anything to do with us?"

"When you said that, I suddenly remembered that I had heard Dean say that there was such a thing. Among the people who deal with them is a group of maned weolls. It is still a large household, and it sells grain to more than 10,000 people every year. But they don't have anything to do with us, we only sell them food......"

Levi gradually understood.

The dragon and rat people are also second-class dealers, they concentrate the grain of Gray Rock City into their own hands, and then sell it to the people below. In particular, 70,000 people have more than 10,000 people selling food, which shows that they still have many customers.

With a sigh, Levi only felt a mess.

The more I checked, the more trouble I found.
