Although he knows that the passage and storage space through which snake people swallow items is different from the digestive system they usually use to eat, but looking at these things, most of them are food, spit out from their mouths, Yan Mo wants to pick The mood dropped to a negative number at once.
In the absence of extreme shortage of food, Yan Mo didn't want to take the dried fruit and meat of the snake people at all. He just browsed the goods of the snake people roughly, picked out some of the plant seeds they brought, and then I took a few snake sloughs, but nothing else.
Yan Mo thought he picked less, but Bai Li raised his eyebrows and praised him for picking things. It turned out that the most precious goods of the snake people were their snake sloughs.
Their snake sloughs can be used to make leather armor and shields, and the snake people use their own snake sloughs to make water bags. They said that as long as they are well glued, the water in them can be used for half a month even in summer. The taste will change, and it tastes cool and delicious, and it can also keep the temperature for a period of time in winter by adding hot water.
No matter how unsophisticated Yan Mo was, he didn't want to give the impression that he was greedy to the friendly tribe he met for the first time. He generously took out one of the goods he wanted to exchange this time, a bone dagger, "I made this myself , still sharp, in exchange for snake slough, if not enough... "
"Ah!" Bai Li suddenly let out a low cry of surprise. Seeing that the bone dagger hadn't been picked up, he asked in surprise, "You said you made this bone dagger yourself? Are you a bonesmith?"
The other snake people also looked at Yan Mo, and one of the elder snake people looked at it carefully.
Yan Mo was also taken aback by Baili's attitude. Could it be that the bone tooler has some tricks? Rare now? But the mermaids obviously have a bone weapon in their hands.
"Well, I've only learned a little bit." He said vaguely, regretting that he made the bone dagger himself.
"I see, you are the disciple of the priest of the Temple of the Three Cities, right?" Bai Li nodded without waiting for Yan Mo to answer, "I heard that except for some ancient, long-lived and intelligent races with their own complete inheritance, Only the priests of the Temple of the Three Cities can make bone tools. At present, almost all the priests of various ethnic groups who can make a little bit of bone tools are sent from the Temple of the Three Cities. I said why do you dress so well? It turns out that you are also from the Three Cities affiliated tribe."
Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan both kept silent, and neither immediately denied it.
Yan Mo's purpose is to use Sancheng's name to make it easier for the fox to pretend to be the tiger, so that Morgan and others will feel a little jealous of the big tribe with unruly ideas in Jiuyuan.
Yuan Zhan was purely for protecting his little priest. Because in this world, apart from Yan Mo himself, he is the only one who knows that Mo has obtained a complete bone refining inheritance. He suspected that the priests in the three cities might not be able to refine bones as much as his family's Murdoch. Before he and Jiuyuan were strong enough to look down on the three cities, they naturally couldn't let the third person know about it.
After Bai Li finished speaking, there was an envious look on her face, "You must be very popular with the priests of the temple, and you will return to the temple in the future, right?"
"Are you also from the three cities?" Yan Mo thought of what Tuhou told him before.
Bai Li didn't deny it, and it wasn't any secret. "Yes, we are from Baixi City. Every hundred years, a branch of people will be separated in the city to find a new place to live. We are the one just separated."
Yan Mo thinks that the ruler of Baixi City is very smart. This method of diversion can not only relieve the population pressure of Baixi City, but also preserve the seeds of the race as much as possible and expand its influence.
"I see that there are quite a few people in this market who have bone artifacts. Could it be that their priests all come from the Temple of the Three Cities?" Yan Mo asked with a new tone of voice that was new to the world and didn't know much about the world.
About his age played a role. Seeing him asking this question, Baili and other snake people didn't find it strange. Baili also gave him the answer: "No, how could the Three Cities Temple send so many priests? Everyone can make bone tools, which requires the ability bestowed by God! Most of the bone tools you see are exchanged with Mogan or other big tribes, and Mogan and other big tribes directly trade with Sancheng exchange."
"That is to say, those bone artifacts all come from the three cities?"
"The vast majority are."
Hearing this, Yan Mo shouted in his heart: Business opportunity! Mermaids who know how to make bone tools are not willing to sell them. In the future, the manufacturer of bone tools will be him besides Sancheng
However, risks and opportunities coexist. Before Sancheng knew about him, he could trade bone artifacts, but once Sancheng knew that he was not an apprentice priest from the temple, Jiuyuan might be in big trouble.
Or when the next three cities come to trouble him, he can put the origin of the bone tools on the head of the mermaid tribe? So Yu Wu taught him? But Yu Wu's old guy who didn't know how many years he lived was not easy to deal with. If he wanted to take advantage of him, he had to be prepared to bleed heavily.
Thinking of this, Yan Mo quickly calmed down, "Then can I exchange the bone tools I made?"
Baili slid forward and grasped his hand, Mumu's expression became slightly agitated, "How many do you have? Our tribe wants them all!"
The older snake man turned his gaze around. Just now when the earthen house was built, some people came to watch the fun, but because it was the second building, there were not as many people watching as before, and a few lingered, probably because they wanted to Jiuyuan helped to build a mud house for himself? There were only a few people from the Tuya clan facing them, and a few of them stared at them, as if they really wanted to come in.
The elder serpent winked at one of the house's slaves. The slave immediately called on the other slaves to arrange the goods on the soil platform, and made people block the view from the outside to the inside intentionally or unintentionally.
The other snake people in the room moved their long tails calmly, surrounding Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan is vigilant, he doesn't know that the snake people just don't want outsiders to see them exchanging bone tools with Jiuyuan people.
Yan Mo also felt the change in the atmosphere, he smiled naively, scratched his head, and said shyly: "I'm relatively stupid, I only learned a little bit of fur, and I didn't make many bone utensils, so I only made a few until now. "
"Are all bone daggers like this?" Bai Li took the bone dagger this time, and slid her finger on the edge, "Ah!"
Bai Li was stunned, blood dripped from his fingers, and more and more dripped, and soon turned into blood streams.
"So sharp?!"
The other snake men were also stunned, but the elder snake man took out a pack of medicine powder from his mouth, and slid it in front of Bai Li, letting him reach out, and took the bone dagger at the same time.
"Young apprentice priest, hello, I am Bai Yan, the warrior leader of the Green Snake Clan in Baixi City." Bai Yan nodded slightly to Yan Mo.
Yan Mo clenched his right fist and lightly touched his heart, then nodded slightly and said, "Hello, Chief Baiyan."
Bai Yan didn't use his fingers to test the edge of the dagger, he hooked an animal bone with the tip of his tail, and swiped lightly with the dagger, the animal bone fell silently.
"Good knife!" Bai Yan showed undisguised admiration on his face, "You have not only learned a little superficially, such a sharp bone knife is not anyone who can make such a sharp bone knife. It's a pity. The knife is too small, is there no suitable bone? We brought a lot this time, you can take all the ones that fit you, and if you want to exchange them with others in the future, you can come to us directly.”
Yuan Zhan was terrified, his face remained motionless, and he only made up his mind not to let Yan Mo take out bone tools to exchange with others easily in the future.
Yan Mo re-estimated the value of the bone tools he made in his heart. These are only the most common ones in his works. He didn't take out the bone tools he made that he felt satisfied with. He planned to leave all the good bone tools to Among them, the inferior ones are exchanged with friendly tribes, and the worst ones are planned to be exchanged for circulation.
And this is just a bone tool, if in the future he makes a bone treasure inlaid with crystals...
Thinking that even Yu Wu was so greedy for bone treasures, wouldn't the Three Cities or other tribes want to eat him even more
Fortunately, Yuan Zhan stopped him before, and didn't let him take out the bone dagger rashly to exchange wild beasts with Morgan. Fortunately, this time he met a friendly snake-human tribe, who not only didn't trick him, but also told him a lot inadvertently.
Yan Mo dared to say that if he had exchanged the bone dagger for wild animals, the Morgans would never have told him the true value of the bone dagger, and they might have cheated him a lot.
Yan Mo has never been stingy in expressing his gratitude to those who are kind to him or bring benefits to him with good intentions.
He said: "Is it enough to exchange those few snake sloughs with this bone dagger?"
Bai Yan's expression froze, thinking that his proposal just now made Yan Mo start to guard against and reject them, so he immediately said: "Including the earthen house and crypt you helped us build, that's enough."
Bai Yan returned the bone dagger to Bai Li, but Bai Li immediately shook his head and refused to take it, saying that it should belong to the tribe.
Bai Yan didn't insist on Bai Li taking it, the other snake people were still watching.
But at this time, Yan Mo took out a single-edged knife with a bone handle about two feet long from his pocket, held it in both hands and handed it to Bai Li, and said with a smile: "It was an exchange just now, and this is a gift. It's a pleasure to meet you." You, Bai Li, I don’t know what kind of weapon you like, but this is the best bone tool I’ve made so far, I’ll give it to you, I hope you like it.”
Bai Li was stunned, the snake people didn't expect this change, and the elder Bai Yan was also very surprised.
Yuan Zhan was a little jealous, the best bone tool that Mo made was not given to him.
Bai Li scratched her head and turned to look at Bai Yan.
Bai Yan straightened his expression and nodded to Bai Li, "Accept it, I hope your friendship will last forever."
After that, he looked at Yan Mo again, this time his expression was more solemn and respectful, "Amo, can I call you that? If you and your clansmen are willing, after this market, our two clans can have Long-term deal. You can send people from your tribe to us, and we will also send people from your tribe to you to see what each other needs."
Of course Yan Mo is willing, many friends have multiple paths, although it is a bit far away, but exchanging transactions with each other is also the first step in helping each other. What's more, far away is fragrant and near is smelly, they are far away and there are fewer land disputes, and they can communicate purely in friendship.
"It's a great honor." Yan Mo once again sent the hand holding the bone knife forward.
Baili didn't hesitate again this time, and happily took it. Compared with the bone dagger just now, he prefers this much bigger one, and Amo also said that this is the best bone tool he has made, so it is obviously sharper than the small knife just now.
"I also have a gift for you, but... I haven't made it until later." Bai Li said embarrassedly.
"It's nothing, let's talk about it later." Yan Mo waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
Bai Yan smiled and explained: "Bai Li probably wants to make leather armor from his own snake slough and give it to you. Although we don't know how to make bone tools, we use our own skin as the main material. The leather armor and Water sacs and other things are rare even in the three cities."
Bai Yan didn't say that most of the wallets made by the Snake People will only be worn on their own clansmen, and only a very small part will flow out, which is not very good.
But even if Bai Yan didn't say it clearly, Yan Mo understood what he meant, and he accepted the favor.
In the first communication with the Green Snake Clan, they were very satisfied with each other.
When the two returned to their own shop diagonally opposite, the barbecue was almost done.
Yan Mo slapped his head, "Oh, you didn't kill that raccoon dog, did you?"
At any rate, he helped him discover the wild rice, and if he let it live, he would not be in debt to each other.
"Not killed." Ding Fei graciously handed over a piece of barbecue, and asked the priest to sit down and enjoy it slowly. "The leader explained that he will not be killed, and said that I will leave it to you."
Yan Mo gave Yuan Zhan a look of approval.
Yuan Zhan had a cold face, as if someone owed him hundreds of horned oxen.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Yan Mo bumped him with his elbow.
Yuan Zhan groaned, "... bone utensils..."
"What did you say? Can you make it clearer?" Yan Mo heard the word bone vessel.
Yuan Zhan continued to hum, but this time he didn't even utter a complete word. After humming, he tore off a half-cooked leg meat that was still bloody, stuffed it into his mouth, and tore it.
Ding Ning and Ding Fei looked at each other and laughed secretly, and Da He hit each other on the head with a bone.
Yan Mo didn't reach into his pocket until he finished eating the piece of barbecue in his hand, took a sip of hot water, and wiped his hands with hay, and then slowly pulled out a long knife in the shape of a Tang knife.
Several people's eyes were attracted by the long knife.
It's obviously made of bone, but except for the blade, the blade and handle are thick dark green, while the blade is light green like mist.
If you look closely, you can also see strange lines engraved on the blade and handle.
"The previous bone tools didn't have a name, only this one. I named it Mosha." Yan Mo slid his fingers over the Chinese characters on the handle. This bone knife is his current highest achievement in bone refining. Originally wanted to keep it for self-protection, but Yuan Zhan's resentful little eyes made him numb, and he took it out in a jerk.
Yuan Zhanqing stretched out his hand involuntarily, he fell in love with Mo Sha very much when he saw it, hehe, his priest still misses him!
Yan Mo gave way, and put Mo Sha back into his pocket.
Yuan Zhan caught the air, his face turned from black to blue, and his teeth were gritted.
Yan Mo saw that he was almost amused, and felt relieved, "I'll give you a scabbard after I use the snake slough of the snake-human clan to match Mo Sha with a scabbard."
scabbard? What it is? Yuan Zhan said directly: "I don't need a scabbard, just give me Mo Sha."
"No, Mo Sha is too sharp, where do you put it? Wrap your back with animal skin? You don't mind being buried, but I think Mo Sha has lowered the grade. Wait patiently!"
Yuan Zhan pretended not to understand and reached out to hook his pocket, but was slapped away by Yan Mo.
Yuan Zhan went to hook again, Yan Mo grabbed his paw and took a bite.
Ding Fei buried his head in his mouth, giggling, Ding Ning blushed inexplicably, Dahe pretended not to see it.
Yuan Zhan was bitten, and suddenly he felt relieved, and he stopped staring at Mo Sha. He snatched the job of cutting the meat for the priest, sliced the meat thinly with a stone knife, put it on a stone plate, and handed it to Yan. silent.
"Mosha is not only sharp, it must have a scabbard." Yan Mo didn't understand why he was explaining too much.
Yuan Zhan raised the corners of his lips.
Yan Mo inexplicably felt embarrassed that he was coaxing his little lover.
