The Gray Witch came over with the twelve-armed woman to work, and it would take two or three days, during which time Zhou Shu needed to escort the Eagle Slayer to the south as much as possible.

The body of the people of Baiyue Country is much better than that of the earth, and a day walk under the sun is as easy as a walk by the pool. Of course, these freehand guys don't care much about the smell of their bodies, and Midali looked at her dirty arms and sniffed them, and the smell made her a little reluctant to be a human being.

The first night of letting go of the Bow Knight and Nati, nothing happened. Zhou Shu and Midali got together early in the morning to eat boiled beans, quite unconvinced.

"Are they stupid?" Midali poked her food with a wooden spoon while holding her small wooden bowl, "One two months and one March, for Mao not to escape?"

Zhou Shu said while eating: "Don't talk about escaping, the two of them should respond to each other, and it is estimated that it is enough for 10,000 people to single you out." ”

"Then why don't they do that?"

Zhou Shu said jokingly, "Probably fascinated by me, right?"

"Where? ”

"My personality is charismatic. ”

Midali knew that Zhou Shu was joking and pretending to be narcissistic. However, when it comes to personality charm, she feels that in this world, except for him, no one else should be stupid to loosen the enemy to this kind of process. If this is also a charisma, then Zhou Shu really can't meet an opponent.

Natty and the Bow Knight's breakfast was also beans, and it was too hot for beans to cool off. This kind of honey bean also tastes good, and it was also snatched in Yinghe Town. Usually this thing is cooked with chicken, and the Knight Archer also stares at the sky, looking for any birds that can knock him down and cook it at dinner.

Early in the morning, on this deserted plain road, there are still quite a lot of wild animals. But even the most stupid animals are scared away when they hear the footsteps of 10,000 marchers. Birds, on the other hand, have wings on their own. Humans can't hurt themselves, and they fly in groups in the sky with recklessness.

The archer subconsciously touched the space prop on his waist, wanting to grab the bow and arrow and shoot something. But her murder weapons were confiscated, and so was Natty. See the Archer in action. Nati also understood quite well, picked up a stone from the ground and crushed it, picked a broken stone of about the same size and handed it to the archer knight.

The latter laughed, she didn't know what to do with the fool in front of her now, so she just let her temperament come. The Archer Knight's ability to change is similar to that of Zhou Shu, and she can change her right arm on a certain distance, and has unparalleled strength. This change is not uncommon,

But the effect is outstanding. Just like Zhou Shu used gold nuggets to plot against her before, the archer shot down a bird flying in the sky with a flick of his hand. Unfortunately, the bird landed on the side of the other mercenaries. The mercenary thought that God had rewarded him, so he decisively accepted it himself.

As a captive, the Knight of the Archer was too lazy to compete with people for the bird, so he took a stone handed by Natty and attacked it a second time. This time the bird she had knocked down fell and fell into her arms. Look down. The bird's head was shattered, and it was disgusting......

After the morning rest, while the weather was still tolerable, the Hawk Killer marched out of the village and came to the Iron Key City at noon.

Iron Key City is a large city of the same size as the Defeated Soldier City, with seven small cities radiating around, and it can compete with the Lantern Region in terms of power.

Ayutthaya has the style of a big city. For the army of the Falcon Killers who ran away, the other party did not stop them at all, and the city gate was opened, and there was no intention of closing the city gate to prevent thieves.

The Falcon Killer will definitely not ask for trouble in Iron Key City, but the other party is not locked down, which means that Midali can go in and solve personal hygiene problems. This is the main reason why she ventured out here.

At present, the Eagle Slayer is still at least a dozen cities away from the south, and at least ten days and eight days have to walk. If the sea route could be taken, it would be a two-day journey for all the Falcon Killers to go south by boat, but now it is really impossible to catch up with the pace of the sea retreating.

Midali and Zhou Shu pretended that they were just passers-by. Slip through and enter the Iron Key City. This city used to be the southern border of the White Moon Kingdom, and the treatment was the same as that of the defeated army, but that was a long time ago. The name of this city has also been handed down from that time, which means the key to breaking the heavy lock of the White Moon Kingdom.

Due to the time, the Falcon Slayer had to travel, and he only had an hour to clean himself for Midali, so he didn't have time to enjoy the cleaning. When Midali entered the city, he found a guide and took him to the Kouchi Trading House in the city. In the country of Hakugetsu, there are entertainment clubs and other things that are operated in the trading house, providing the traveling merchants with the services they need.

Midali was busy with her own business in the bath of the trading house, and Zhou Shu was strolling around the door of the trading company, guessing the gender of the next passer-by to pass the time.

He enjoyed this boring and daze time now, for him, this kind of idle work is simply a blessing from God, quite rare. In fact, God didn't seem to want to favor Zhou Shu in any way, and as soon as he guessed correctly for the twentieth time, he ran into two businessmen who were talking about interesting topics, which attracted his attention.

Those two people were dressed in silk, which was quite rare in the White Moon Kingdom, and they should be quite great businessmen. The success of a merchant can be measured only by the number of his possessions. In this world, there are basically no poor people who can wear silk, after all, there is no silk craft in Baiyue Country at all. Like the First World, this thing came from faraway countries.

The difference is that silk is generally carried by camels to the Middle East by land, and porcelain bottles and other fragile items are carried by sea and land. The White Moon Country is a closed continent, and the only foreign land that can be traveled by land is the vast Forest Country, where the only clothes that can be imported are animal skins, and silk comes from the water.

The chat between two big businessmen, who looked very successful in terms of their clothing, did not seem to be as successful as they seemed. Zhou Shu used his sensitive ears to listen to the root of the wall for a while, these two people didn't seem to be from the city, they just went on a business trip to Iron Key City and met by chance on the road, it seemed that they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Originally, this kind of thing in a foreign country should have made the two of them hook each other's shoulders to go to the tavern for a drink, but they didn't do it, but stood on the side of the road with sad faces and talked about the recent work events.

Both of them were maritime merchants, and they sounded like ruthless characters each with a dozen or more ocean-going ships. Zhou Shu didn't know very well how profitable the maritime trade of this world was, but Europe relied on this kind of thing to develop back then, and the White Moon Kingdom seemed to be moving in this direction.

The greatest historic change brought about by maritime trade at that time was the emergence of a modern financial and credit system. The earliest joint-stock system was a fund-raising ocean-going merchant ship, and the earliest CEO was the captain of that ship.

Small merchants wanted to invest in the seafaring trade and make a fortune in the lucrative maritime trade, just like the big merchants. So the small merchants raised enough money to pay for a single voyage. Give it to a reputable captain and let it go. It was only when the captain returned the following year, laden with treasures he had bought from abroad, and all the small merchants who had invested had made a lot of money, that this type of investment really became popular.

The first small merchants to eat crabs took the risk of the captain absconding with the money and the ship being damaged and sinking, which is actually also true in the big merchants. On the side of the White Moon Country, it seems that these big merchants still need to go through some more cruel things, such as the winter god who has lowered the sea level.

Zhou Shu didn't know what kind of movement the Winter God had made on the North Pole side, but she really affected the White Moon Kingdom in a big way. The two big businessmen who were talking with sad faces were happy to see the miserable. One of the businessmen said the water disappeared, leaving more than a dozen of his large ships parked in the dock and unable to move. For so long, the sea receded farther and farther away, and the land became more and more exposed. He had decided to demolish the dockyard and burn the ship as a piece of wood, saving him the money to maintain it.

The other merchant was even more pleased with what happened to him, and when the sea receded, he did not care, but still let his ship go out to sea according to the route of the voyage that had been studied. As a result, going to sea was quite smooth, but I couldn't come back. He didn't have much to pay for the maintenance of the ship. But the families of the missing crew members are not easy to deal with, and the gang has formed an organization to collect debts from them every day.

The words of the two big businessmen also made Zhou Shu have some understanding of the mess caused by Yi'er this time. Those two big businessmen, without thinking about it, knew that they were partners under the Kou Chi Trading Company, because the water and land transportation of the entire Baiyue Country was in the hands of the Kou Chi family. The magician fulfilled Il's request regardless of his previous suspicions. A new land has been created for him, and the storage of the dangerous creature of the Winter God has been solved, but this seems to be the beginning of another trouble, and it is definitely not a happy ending.

Zhou Shu yawned on the side of the road, wanting to hear if there were any interesting topics for passers-by to kill his time. As a result, new targets were quickly discovered.

Iron Key City seems to be quite wealthy, and the residents are in good spirits and have good spending power. To put it simply, compared to the residents of the Defeated Soldier City who can eat well, the people here still have a few spare money that can be used to eat.

Kou Chi Trading Company may have suffered a major setback on the sea water issue, and urgently needed money to save its business empire, and it was also very professional in inciting the public to shop.

Zhou Shu heard from the chat between two fairly cute girls that they were comparing their recently bought pets, an ornamental fish. When he first entered the city, Zhou Shu wondered why so many people were talking about ornamental fish, and the street vendors were still selling small fish that were turtle food instead of ornamental fish.

After listening to the words of the two girls a little more, Master Zhou also thought of the Valentine's Day chocolate incident.

In the plot, people eat chocolate, this tradition is just an activity tossed by modern merchants, and it is fortunate to guide the consumption trend and become a habit to pass on. This is nothing more than a simple merchant deliberately making popular goods, in order to let those who have money and nowhere to spend it quickly spend the two burning money, so as to save trouble. There are many similar situations, and there are many cases where you want to replicate the success of chocolate, but there are no examples that are as successful as chocolate.

Now it seems that ornamental fish are becoming popular in Baiyue Country, but these goods and resources seem to be only in the hands of some oligarchic businessmen, and small vendors can only take out a bunch of poor sardines and pretend to be ornamental fish, and sell them to poor people who have no money to buy real goods and want to follow the trend and raise something.

Zhou Shu was a serious otaku before he crossed over, and he knew a lot of strange knowledge. The fashion that is happening in Iron Key City now reminds him of the large number of 'sardines' that comforted the poor when Nintendo's handheld GB was popular in China.

Back then, the children of wealthy families bought GB, the slightly worse ones bought Tetris machines, and the poorer ones had some light industrial products dressed up as video games, such as ring ferrules. There are similar products on the side of the American Empire, the most typical of which is the 'Tiger' game console. There are also in China, and the specific situation is so cruel that it is impossible to describe.

Zhou Shu thinks of that thing now, and it feels like seeing a girl on the street who can't afford to buy ornamental fish, in a daze at the 'fish food' of the small stall. It seems that I really want to buy it, and it's quite poignant.

'Ornamental fish, ornamental fish......' Zhou Shu rummaged through the Book of Summoning to find nearby fish. He can't figure it out in all kinds, in this world where glass is only a little cheaper than gold, it is popular to raise ornamental fish for Mao, and even a fish tank is not transparent, can it really be enjoyable to watch?

Although he didn't understand, he still walked up to the girl who didn't look cute, and was in a daze at the 'fish food' stall.

'Damn, I'm probably really a nymphomaniac, right?' Zhou Shu, who can't turn a blind eye to the girl's troubles. Evaluate yourself like this.

He walked up to the vendor and was decisively swept away by the gaze of the other party's philistine, which was really unbearable for people with higher levels of internal organs.

The small vendors didn't look down on him, after all, the audience for what he sold was the lowest class people in the city. How can you look down on customers? What made Zhou Shu feel uncomfortable was the mental state of the guy who saw his prey and wronged the big head when he regarded himself as a customer.

The small vendor stared at Zhou Shu's outsider face, coupled with the fact that he was dressed as a dusty traveler, so naturally he didn't regard him as a rich man who could remove a girl's womb with gold nuggets at will. "Strangers, the most popular aquarium fish nowadays, the name is Silver Meteor. Buy two and go back to raise them, it's very cheap. The peddler said.

". Silver what silver, your name, this is the first time I've heard of sardines being called that. Zhou Shu also didn't give him face, lost two silver coins and didn't ask the price, and bought a container for fish. The sardine was chewed in his mouth.

For Zhou Shu, a southerner who lives quite close to Guangdong. It's a trivial matter to drink a tadpole or chew a sardine raw. But his behavior was obviously to frighten the vendor and the girl who poked at the side of the stall, especially the girl, the fish she hesitated to buy and keep at home was actually eaten, and this blow made her stare at Zhou Shu's face and couldn't take her eyes off.

"Little girl. Why do you keep looking at me? Zhou Shu dragged the fish container made of wood and began to tease the little girl. He felt that the bowl in his hand was still quite beautiful, and in the absence of a glass fish tank, this thing was probably the best tool for holding fish.

When the little girl saw the black-haired foreigner talking to her in a thick accent, she looked very flustered. Zhou Shu could see that if he said a few more words to this guy, he might not be able to say something like 'r' from her mouth. When Zhou Shu was a child, he showed English to a foreigner who spoke Chinese and asked his way, which also made the other party laugh.

"How about a trick for you?" Zhou Shu put the container to his mouth, blew a breath, and then covered the mouth of the container with one hand.

The vendor was ready to call the police, and in his opinion, the foreigner in front of him definitely wanted to kidnap the little girl. The little girl was also a little nervous, and she didn't understand what Zhou Shu was doing at all.

Master Zhou sighed, he also found that not all girls are so interesting, and the one in front of him said that she was clever and dexterous. Although Nati is stupid, he is still quite funny, and the archer looks cool and doesn't speak, but he is surprisingly upright, and these two new sturdy women are very interesting people in Zhou Shu's eyes. Now this little girl doesn't seem to have this good quality.

He didn't bother to tease others anymore, and he didn't have a response, so he decisively gave the things in his hand to the little girl. "I've got you, let's take it and play with it. ”

The little girl glanced into the container and saw a big goldfish that seemed to be wearing a ribbon inside, and it looked quite beautiful. This is Zhou Shu found the most pleasing to the eye in the list of fish in his own summoning book, this fish in his opinion, is simply the dawn butterfly among the fish, quite beautiful, if there is a fish tank at hand, he wants to raise it himself.

When the vendor saw the girl looking at the container that was supposed to be an empty bowl, there was a look of surprise on his face that should not have appeared, and he thought that the black-haired foreigner had vomited out the sardines he had eaten or something. He glanced into the container, expecting to see fish mixed with a puddle of saliva, but the contents of the container were so frightened that he fell on the side of the road.

"Seven, colorful dragon!" the peddler said with an exaggerated expression.

Zhou Shu is convinced, is it so kitsch to name fish for Mao's world, but the fish he conjured up does change color gradient like a rainbow and is divided into seven colors, and the name of colorful is okay, and the worst thing is to use the word dragon to name the fish, which reveals such an uncultured feeling from the inside out.

After seeing the hawker's reaction, Zhou Shu's heart suddenly tightened for no reason. Soon, he found out why he was so emotional. He also forgot for a while, the last time he gave other people's property to others, he had not been away from the name of Berry Town for a few days.

Zhou Shu thought of this and asked the vendor who fell, "Is this colorful dragon rare?"

The peddler stumbled and wanted to speak, but Zhou Shu knew from his expression that this fish was probably fried for a lot of money. Zhou Shu grabbed the container, grabbed the fish and stuffed it in his mouth, chewed it, then blew a breath, and casually got a protruding-eyed goldfish out to show the vendor.

"What is the value of this one?"

The peddler had never seen such a change in juggling, and sat on the ground and spit out a few words, 'Ten Crescent Moons'.

"Ten crescent moons...... Zhou Shu nodded, thinking that this price would not cause trouble to the little girl, so he spit out another one, let the fish swim in pairs in the container, and gave it to the little girl. "It's really for you this time, let's go. ”
