Chapter 166: Divine Merchant

"Kony."

The boy on his back whispered, "Coney Lauren."

Shu Yungui nodded: "Good name, what about age?"

"Fifteen." "I will be sixteen next month."

"Oh, that's a little kid too."

Obviously, Shu Yungui heard the sound of Kony gritting his teeth behind him.

"Who are you in the inner city? Will you go back to the inner city after you buy something?"

Shu Yungui thought that if Kony would return to the inner city, then there would be many ways for him to follow him into the inner city, and as for how to find the king after entering, let's talk about it.

Unexpectedly, the young man broke his plan: "No, I won't go back, I still have important things to do, and I won't go back for a while."

Well, it doesn't work.

Shu Yungui asked again, "Then what kind of supernatural merchant did you go to?" Why can he walk through at will without being caught by the patrol?"

"They're a group of people who specialize in selling magical items that can't be bought on the market, and from them you can buy anything from mechanical livestock to gold, silver, and gemstones, they have everything, and if not, they'll find it and sell it to you."

"I don't know why these people can roam around, anyway, everyone says that supernatural merchants can do anything, and probably dodging pursuit is also one of their abilities."

It sounds similar to Aalto Ranhe's black market, but the boy still has too little knowledge, how can something that can't be bought on the market can be mechanical gems, it must be something that is a crime to take out.

Shu Yungui suddenly became interested in these omnipotent supernatural merchants, they wandered around and saw a lot, maybe there was a way to take him into the inner city.

It is not easy to maintain the continuation of the human race, and the pressure falls on Shu Yungui alone, the weight is much heavier than Konico behind him, and he must find a way to introduce a large number of population genes into the Hope Star Field, preferably to promote mutual interaction between the two sides.

On this trip, Shu Yungui is both an explorer and a diplomat, if he can convince the king here to open the country with the Hope Star Field, it is best to continue the genes normally through human reproduction, if not, he will also insist on waiting until Cheng Sikong and they come with genetic sampling equipment.

The entry of large spaceships into the airspace is certainly a great threat to the country, and although it is not certain whether there is air defense in this place, it is always necessary to ensure that the sampling is foolproof.

He remembered the shocked look on Kony's face when he faced the wound suture patch just now, and he could imagine how much panic the large-scale gene collection work would cause at that time, and whether it would be another big battle.

Their purpose is to continue the human race, and there is really no need to make a mess of other people's good places in order to continue their own side.

The best way is to meet their king and explain the situation, they are also immigrants from the ancient earth, not to mention empathy and pity the current situation of their compatriots, at least don't treat them as enemies.

Another thing is to find out the source of the distress signal, since Cheng Sikong's "Momentary Lightyear" sent him here, the geographical coordinates are definitely no problem, and it can be determined that this seemingly technologically backward place actually hides large-scale astronomical equipment that can transmit cosmic signals.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that as an ancient Earth immigrant, the technology carried by the spaceship was far more than that, how to look at Kony's reaction, the technology of this planet did not advance in the slightest, but was several centuries behind the ancient earth?

This is really not in keeping with the development process of a civilization.

"Have you ever seen an astronomical telescope?"

Shu Yungui asked straight to the point, "It's just a big thing that spins against the sky like a pot."

"A big pot?"

Kony thought about the daytime and suddenly said to his heart, "I remember! Every year at the time of the ritual, there is a cauldron with the heads of oxen and sheep boiled in it to thank God for giving us food."

Good guy, it is still a country with divine monarchy, this is no longer a regression of science and technology, but the entire history of human civilization has been cut in half, directly back to the era of feudal ignorance.

But he vaguely felt that something was wrong, where did such a big immigration spaceship go? You can't be eaten, can you? Doesn't anyone wonder that something that is incompatible with their civilization exists?

Shu Yungui believes that looking at the immigration spaceship from the perspective of the development of this civilization is probably similar to the feeling of the ancient earth ape man watching UFOs, and it takes a thousand prayers to eliminate the fear in his heart.

It is understandable that the ruler wants to facilitate the management of the people, and it is understandable to engage in monarchy and the divine authority of the monarchy, but it is just another reincarnation of the ruling method, and in order to stabilize the regime, the existence of science and technology is deliberately concealed, so that the people have been in a state of ignorance for a long time, and this kind of ruler thinking is also understandable.

But what Shu Yungui couldn't figure out the most was that since it had been decided to adopt a feudal political system, why would the advanced astronomical system be retained?

There are too many puzzles, and it looks like I'm busy on this planet.

"By the way, I haven't asked yet, what is the name of this country?"

Kony straightened up with his hands on his shoulders, "Aren't you from the city? Why don't you even know the name of your own country? You're not an intruder, are you?!"

"What an intruder, don't talk nonsense."

Shu Yungui turned him upside down on his back: "Can't I read less? Life in the outer city is hard, how can you afford to study?"

Kony lay down in disbelief and said, "Ninth Star, our name is Ninth Star."

Shu Yungui resisted the urge to roll his eyes, so what did the first generation of immigrants think, they finally found a place for new immigrants to establish a regime, and casually named the planet after the immigrant spaceship?

Too casual, right?

He couldn't even think of how such a random person could come up with such a troublesome thing as a monarchy.

But then again, Cheng Sikong's speculation is really accurate, this is indeed the immigration site of the No. 9 immigration spaceship.

"Is there only one king on the ninth star? Or are there a lot of different countries?"

Figuring out the power struggles on this planet may also be a way to cooperate.

"I don't know, I've never been out of the inner city."

Kony brutally shattered his plan again, and Shu Yungui asked angrily, "Don't you go to school in the inner city?" Don't you study history and geography?"

"Learn, we've learned a lot!"

Kony pulled out his long sword and circled a sword flower in front of Shu Yungui's eyes.

"In history class, we learn fencing, look! Western-style fighting!"

The sword light rampaged in front of Shu Yungui's eyes, almost slashing the tip of his nose several times.

Kony told him excitedly, "In geography class, we also learn fencing, look! Chinese Sword Intent!"

Okay...... This is still a country where all the people are martial, no wonder the progress of civilization is so slow.

Shu Yungui felt like an alien who had fallen into the ancient earth, and if he thought about it, wasn't he an alien?

"Put your work away, and I'll throw you down if you mess around."

Kony was on the head, a sword stabbed out, and the sword light pointed straight ahead, and before Shu Yungui became angry, in the direction pointed by the sword blade, there was a sudden melodious wind chime.

"It's a Psychic Merchant!"

Kony was so excited that he patted Shu Yungui on the shoulder and shouted, "Hurry! Catch up with him!"

It was difficult to run through the dense bushes, and countless vines blocked his way, but Kony kept swinging his sword to cut the vines, so he could barely make his way through the woods.

It took a lot of effort for them to catch up with the supernatural merchant by a small stream.

It was a fat businessman with white hair and white beard, and as soon as he turned his head, Shu Yungui could clearly see the word "female fraud" in his eyes.

Sure enough, the people who make a living in the black market are not honest people.

Kony jumped off his back and strode towards the Avatar Merchant, not at all aware of the miserable appearance of the crying porcelain on the back of the porcelain dignitary.

"Oh, my dear friend."

The Avatar gave Kony a cordial kiss, half

Squatted down and asked him, "What do you want to buy?"

Kony held the money bag in his hand, his eyes sparkled, and said seriously, "I want a pass to enter the outer city."

This kid is going to the outer city? An inner city man has to go to great lengths to go to the outer city?

Cheng Sikong looked at him sideways, revealing a slightly surprised expression.

"Oh, that's a good thing, but good things are often worth a lot of money, how much are you going to trade it for?"

Kony rummaged through the purse and poured all the money into the merchant's hand, which were a few yellow gold coins, of good condition and weight, and could be sold for a good price in Hope's field.

"Oh, that's not enough, my friend."

The Divine Merchant shook his head and said, "The price of gold is too low, you are not as valuable as three bags of rice."

Shu Yungui can't listen anymore, isn't this coaxing children? He stepped forward, grabbed the hand of the supernatural merchant, and said, "Don't be kidding, this is gold, how can a pass be worth so much money?"

"Oh oh oh, this friend! Don't get excited!"

The supernatural merchant's face turned white with pain, and he quickly explained: "We don't lie, friend, if you inquire about it, you will know that gold and jewelry are only valuable in the inner city, and in the outer city, rice, livestock, and mineral machinery are the most valuable."

Shu Yungui was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the gold standard system that had been in circulation on the ancient earth for so long, and even extended to the Hope Star Domain, was actually broken in the ninth star, which made him think deeply about how chaotic the life order of the people in the outer city was.

"I've got all that!"

Kony pulled out a few gems from his pocket, each the size of a thumb, looking like it had been removed from something, and trimmed with inlays.

The supernatural merchant still shook his head: "My friend, I said that these things are not valuable, the inner city is full of gold, silver and jewelry, and I can't sell these things into the inner city, and the people in the outer city buy it and it's useless, they would rather buy rice."

Kony's face sank, and he pulled out everything he had on his body and spread it on the ground.

There was a coat, a scarf, and a sword.

The merchant took up his coat and scarf and looked at it, shook his head, and said, "It's flashy, it's not warm and it's not wearable, and people from outside the city won't buy such clothes."

Kony's face became even more ugly, and the merchant finally picked up the sword, weighed it and nodded, "That's all right, but my friend, the value of the pass is much more valuable than a sword, and you have to pay a little more."

"I ......"

Kony lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, and took out a small bag wrapped in silk cloth from his arms, he looked at the merchant and reluctantly touched the package, as if trying to convince himself, before carefully handing it over to the merchant.

The merchant's greedy gaze became extremely disappointed as he lifted the silk.

It was a beautifully packaged book of poems, and it was evident that Kony attached great importance to it, so he wrapped it in silk cloth and hid it close to his body.

The merchant laughed and shoved the book back into Kony's hand.

"My friend, this thing is only used by the nobles of the inner city to sublimate their souls, but the commoners in the outer city who are suffering are not qualified to read poetry, and if their souls can be used to buy food, then their souls may have been sold into pawnshops long ago."

He held out his hand and repeated again, "You have to give something of real value."

"But I don't have anything left for you."

Kony begged, "Please, I really need this pass, can I give you back money later?"

"No, no, no, we never take credit."

The sly eyes of the Divine Power Merchant scanned the two of them, and suddenly pointed at Shu Yungui and said, "This friend has a lot of valuable things on him, such as the one on the back of your waist, you can exchange it for two passes."

Shu Yungui pressed the pistol on his waist, blaming Kony for rubbing on his back just now, and a corner of his coat was lifted, and he didn't pay attention to it.

"Don't think about it, I'm just passing by, not here to buy something."

"That's a pity."

The merchant returned the gold and gems to Kony, bowing slightly in Kony's tearful gaze.

"Then let's meet again."
