The chief of Blackwater saw that the two seemed to be in disbelief, and was thinking hard about how to make up more perfect excuses.
Yan Mo made eye contact with Yuan Zhan.
Chief Blackwater's nerves were tense, and he was always ready to deal with the pressing questions of the two. It was impossible for him to tell his biggest secret, even the savior!
"Bring the seeds." Yan Mo stretched out his hand.
"River bank." Chief Blackwater called out casually.
He An turned around and took out a bag of seeds from the back room.
Yan Mo was not surprised that they carried the seeds with them. Many places in the countryside harvested the rice without husks, and only husked them when they needed to eat them.
Chief Heishui motioned for the bank to give the bag of seeds to Yan Mo, and Yan Mo took it, opened it and checked that there was no problem, and put it in his pocket.
Chief Blackwater stared at the pocket several times with surprise in his eyes. He has also heard that some races and people have this kind of bloodline ability that can hold a lot of things, but this is the first time he has seen it with his own eyes.
Yan Mo pointed at the sweet stick at the base of the wall again, "You said it was all for us, right?"
"right."
Yan Mo got up, walked over and put the sweet stick in his pocket, and then greeted Yuan Zhan: "Let's go."
Yuan Zhan jumped up, followed Yan Mo, and both walked towards the gate.
Jiufeng was so playful, he flew around Chief Blackwater again, spit out the wind blade at him, saw that he couldn't dodge enough, and a few strands of hair were cut off, and then he happily flew back to the top of Yan Mo's head, waving his little wings.
The door opened, and Chief Blackwater opened his mouth wide, but he didn't react for a while, "Hey, Jiuyuan, are you leaving just like that?"
He didn't believe that the purpose of these two people would be that simple, and he didn't believe that an old witch from an ordinary tribe could get rid of the curse of the beast god, and was the messenger of the beast god so easy to invite? How could they be satisfied with paying so much for a hundred sweet stalks and a pack of sweet stalk seeds
Yan Mo turned around and smiled kindly at him: "You take care of your injuries."
The two of them took Ding Ning, who had been forgotten as an invisible man, out of the gate.
wait! I just saw that you were clearly trying to question me, but now you have given up
I was ready for you to either torture me to extract a confession, or use my life-saving grace to force me to reveal my secrets, but you just left
"Hey, then who, didn't you say you were going to fight with me? Don't fight?"
Yuan Zhan didn't turn his head back, "I don't fight with cripples."
Three people and one bird walked into the wind and snow like this, and the river bank sent them out of the house specially.
Chief Blackwater was stunned for a while, his face full of disbelief, "Your mother! Where did these two guys come from? The river bank!"
He An returned after seeing off the people, closed the gate, and quickly walked back to his chief, "Chief, what's the matter?"
"Tell me everything you know about Jiuyuan." Forget it, it's good for those two people to leave, so that he doesn't have to worry about how to deal with them, maybe those two people are really fooled by his words It was also possible in the past.
He An said everything he knew about Jiuyuan in a few words, and then began to complain about his own chief: "Chief, the old man invited the beast god's messenger to free you from the beast god's curse, what do you think?" To people? You don’t even respect the messenger of the beast god, what if you are cursed by the beast god again?”
"Fart! The Beast God cursed me once is not enough, and wants to curse me a second time? Believe it or not, I will go back and kill all the tribes that serve the Beast God!"
He An looked worried, "Chief, do you think you beat the tribesmen who served the Beast God so hard that the Beast God sent a curse to punish you?"
Chief Blackwater rolled his eyes angrily, "Don't hurt them anymore, do you want all the people in our tribe to be captured by them to store food for the winter and give them wild cubs?"
The river bank is silent.
Chief Heishui worked hard and worked hard. Looking at his family members who could write the word "honest" on their faces, he felt extremely stressed.
He An also asked at this time: "Chief, the sweet sticks that were brought back for trading have been given to the Great Witch of Jiuyuan, so what will we use for trading in Heitu City in the future?"
Chief Blackwater slammed his head against the wall, closed his eyes and asked, "Is there enough food?"
He An readily threw out two words: "Not enough."
"Then grab it."
"... who will grab first?"
Just when Chief Blackwater and his confidants were planning to rob the target because of lack of food, he didn't know that Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan had almost dug out his secrets.
"What secret do you think he will have?" Yuan Zhan spoke first.
"What do you say?"
Yuan Zhan felt that he had grasped a certain clue, and he asked Yan Mo just to verify it habitually, "He said that when he was in the lower city of Gaogang City, he only rose to level five at most, and the level remained unchanged until he left Gaogang City. After returning to his own tribe, he became a seventh-level blood warrior."
"And you infer from that?"
"When he left Gaogang City or after he returned to the tribe, he obtained the training method of the blood warrior above level six, and he didn't want this secret to be known." Yuan Zhan didn't speculate casually. From the side, I learned a lot about the control methods of the soldiers in the lower city. I already know that after they pass the fifth level, they need new training methods every time they go up. crystal.
"Is this a secret?" Yan Mo is also inclined to this speculation, but he still raises a doubt: "The few people who came from Tianzhu City are also at level 7. I think level 7 fighters are not uncommon in the lower city."
"You don't even look at the identities of the few people who came over from Tianzhu City. Ye He, the high priest of the temple in Tianzhu City, and the guardian warriors around him must be the strongest, and the last Zhefei is the biggest warrior leader in Tianzhu City , It would be strange if these people don't have the strength of level seven. But look at the fighters other than these people, Fei Li, Duo Fei, and those under Zhe Fei, which one is above level six?"
"In other words, do you think level seven fighters are very rare in the lower city, and you have to be someone with a high position to reach level seven?"
"Yes. A blood warrior who has left Gaogang City, it is absolutely impossible for him to obtain the seventh-level warrior training method from the temple or the warrior regiment. Otherwise, how will those lower cities control their own tribes?"
"Then Chief Blackwater's upgrade method is strange." Yan Mo was a little curious, but he didn't really care. After all, he had a better and more systematic upgrade method. "Did he be so wary of us thinking that we want to The Grace of Saving Life forced him to hand over the upgrade method?"
"It's probably not the first time he has met someone who wants to train him."
After talking about other people's gossip, the two began to talk about business again. Yuan Zhan asked the value of the sweet stick, and Yan Mo explained it to him in detail.
Yuan Zhan heard that sweet sticks are so useful, so his dissatisfaction with this transaction finally eased a little.
Jiu Feng impatiently continued to stay on top of Yan Mo's head, uttered a scream at Feng Xue, spread his wings and flew away.
Yan Mo looked up at the sky, "When the wind and snow stop, I plan to set up a stall in the trading market to treat patients and heal their injuries."
"No need." Yuan Zhan subconsciously denied.
"It's useful. We gave Black Earth City the impression of a poor tribe with no Yuanjing coins and little goods. If I don't go out to beg for a living, where will our Yuanjing coins and food come from?"
"There is me." Yuan Zhan didn't want his priests to go out in winter and suffer this crime.
"You still have to participate in the selection, and there are more things to do. Well, I have my plan, and I can also inquire about the news along the way." Yan Mo wanted to see how the faith points would increase rapidly.
After treating Chief Blackwater just now, the guide reduced his scum value, but his faith points did not change. This made him suspect that the faith points are not only grateful to the beneficiary, or the gratitude is not enough
Yuan Zhan has nothing to do with him, "At least wait until the wind and snow completely stop."
"I know."
The wind and snow became stronger, and the two originally wanted to take Ding Ning for a stroll outside, but Yan Mo's physical condition did not allow it, so Yuan Zhan hugged him and quickly went back to the big shed in Jiuyuan.
After entering the room, I found that the atmosphere in the room was not right, as if something had happened. Bing and Ding Fei were talking about something. They replaced all the coal in the firepit with firewood. The new coal was useless, and the used coal was ground to ashes by them. Answer is not there.
Seeing them coming forward first, Bing opened his mouth and said, "I killed a female slave, and there are three more."
Ding Ning, who came in last, turned and closed the door.
Yan Mo, who was picking out the sweet stick, raised his head, brother, can you stop shaking out such explosive news as soon as you come back
Although killing is very common in this world, Jiuyuan is already "civilized" to a certain extent, and it has been a long time since there has been such a direct killing without the permission of the leader and priest.
But Yan Mo, who already trusted Bing, did not criticize Bing, handed him a sweet stick, and asked casually, "Why did you kill her?"
Bing took the sweet stick, didn't ask what it was, and told the matter first: "She secretly met with people from Heitu City while we were not paying attention, and Da Da heard her say two things."
"Which two things?"
"Our great witch likes strong men. And our house is warmer than other places, but instead of using firewood, we use a kind of black stone that can burn."
The corner of Yan Mo's mouth twitched fiercely when he heard the first sentence, "Did the person she met say anything?"
"Yes, let her continue to find out why our house is so warm, and let her steal a few flammable stones for him."
"Is the man she met very powerful?"
"Yes, Da Da said he couldn't beat that person, so he didn't jump out and kill him."
"Answer?"
"Go follow that person."
Yan Mo frowned, and patted him after listening to Yuan Zhan, "It's okay, that kid Da Da knows it well, if he's not sure, he won't follow."
"Where are the other three girls?"
"In the back room, with the body of another slave girl."
Yan Mo gave Bing a thumbs up, you are ruthless!
Ding Fei watched them finish talking, and came over and asked, "Da Mo, do you want to put away these coals first?"
Yan Mo pondered, he needs to think about the pros and cons first.
Yuan Zhan said directly: "No need."
Bing thought differently, "I think it would be better to put it away, we can't be too eye-catching right now."
"There's no point in hiding now." Yuan Zhan flatly vetoed, "They already know that we are using a black water stone that can burn. Even if we hide it, they will still know that we have it."
Yan Mo's mind lit up, "There's no need to hide it, not only we don't need to hide it, but we also need to trade it."
What? Including Yuan Zhan, the priest who looked at them together.
Yan Mo coughed, "Coal is also divided into quality. You all forgot that when the first batch of coal was delivered, it was mixed with a lot of low-quality coal that would emit thick smoke when it was burned? I also brought some of this kind of coal. Go out to trade, and when they find out that this flammable stone is not as good as they imagined, greed will naturally be minimized."
Yuan Zhan really wanted to ask his priest, what would he do with those low-quality coals that could burn thick smoke
Yan Mo chuckled, "This kind of coal is lit, and you can use it to frighten enemies and wild beasts."
Ding Fei immediately looked at him with an adoring expression of "Mo Da, you are so wise".
Bing felt inexplicably as if he had opened another strange door. It turns out that there are so many different ways to fight the enemy
Yan Mo saw what Bing was thinking, and told him seriously: "In the future, if we find pepper and other irritating plants, we can also sprinkle a handful of powder to make the enemy cry from the heat, and their noses can't breathe. Tickle powder and the like are also good. , but I haven't found the most suitable medicinal materials to configure. When I get it out, I will distribute some to each of you."
Yuan Zhan... raised the attack power of the priest that he had already recognized in his heart to another level.
After Yan Mo finished speaking, he asked belatedly: "Are we being too high-profile?"
"High-profile?" Yuan Zhan digested the unfamiliar word a little bit, "No, I think we are performing well now, and we won't give people the impression that we are too powerful, nor will people think we are too weak."
"So you also agree to trade coal?"
"Other than that, what else can we come up with? Boneware? Ceramics? Or red salt? Or dried pickled radish?"
Yan Mo was slightly intoxicated, so we already have so many good things in Jiuyuan
But thinking about it, it's really aggrieved. They already have so many good things, but they can't easily exchange them. This time, it's not because they are afraid that Heitu City will attack Jiuyuan, because they are too far away, but because they have to be together. In the case of special eye-catching, send the original war to the temple of the upper city.
In the future, he still needs to think of a way to make Yuan Zhan disappear without being suspected after getting the blood stone, such as falling off a cliff to protect the blood stone
If Shangcheng suspects that Yuan Zhan took the blood stone, and knows that Jiuyuan has so many good things, then no matter how far away they are, they will probably try to attack.
For this reason, they can only endure now. In fact, dried radishes can also be traded, but he is reluctant to use low-quality coal!
Ding Fei interjected: "Mo Da, leader, those four female slaves were all sent by the snake gall. If he finds out that we killed one of them, will he trouble us?"
Yuan Zhan shook his head, "No. The four female slaves were sent for our use. If one or two were killed, the snake gall would not respond, and he would not be able to stand up for the female slaves, unless we sent the four slaves for no reason. Kill them all, probably he will come to ask if we are not satisfied with his arrangement."
Ding Fei asked again: "What about the three female slaves? Are they kept?"
Yiyuanzhan and Bing's temper naturally wanted to kill everyone to avoid future troubles, otherwise it would be useless to raise them and waste food.
Yan Mo waved his hand, "Keep it, let them do whatever they want, I have a way to make them speechless. Also, Ah Zhan, you should seal up Dilong first, in case we are not at home, and the snake dares to find someone Check out the house."
"I can dig and fill every day."
"Then only do it at night. Ah Zhan, do you still remember the stove I asked you to make?"
"I remember. What?"
"Let's get a few more later, keep two in the house, and trade the rest at the market, just pretend that I brought them."
"They'll know your pockets..."
"It's okay, I'll put away my purse, so that people who see it will think it's one of my bloodline abilities, and it's useless even if I take it away. After all, we don't have a big warehouse that is too inconvenient to store things. Besides, once we put the Take out the coal, and they can guess that we must have abilities like the snake people."
Here Yan Mo and the others are discussing future arrangements, while She Dan has already received the news from the spies.
"They went to the greenhouse of the Blackwater Tribe? Do you know why the people of the Blackwater Tribe are looking for them?"
"It should be to treat their chief's injuries. Their chiefs were injured when they entered the city. It may have become serious in the past few days."
"Oh? Why don't they go to the Temple Attendant?"
"Maybe there are not enough Yuanjing coins and trading items."
"The Great Witch of Jiuyuan cured Chief Blackwater?"
"It should be that humble saw the bank of the black water and sent them outside the door in person, with a very respectful attitude."
"Oh, Jiuyuan, the warrior is powerful, and the great witch is not weak, tsk tsk."
As soon as the spy left, another spies arrived.
When he heard that the old witch in Jiuyuan actually liked strong men, and the five strong men in Jiuyuan's party were all suspected of being touched by him, She Dan laughed out loud, feeling deeply that he had met a kindred spirit. He doesn't like those soft and young children, he only likes vigorous teenagers and strong youths, he also likes women, but he only touches virgins.
After laughing, his face suddenly changed. Although the great witch and he were fellow-minded, he didn't like the fact that his prey had been touched first.
"You said Jiuyuan is a kind of black stone that can burn?"
The spy nodded.
Snake Dan tapped on the back of his hand, "Find a way to get some for me."
"yes."
"In addition, find someone to try them again, don't let them idle. Since the big witch likes to treat people and heal their injuries so much, then find more patients for him, the heavier the better."
The spies wrote down, "My lord, if you are a soldier, which tribe are you looking for this time?"
"They can defeat the leader of the Dona clan warriors, so why should they find a tribe that is stronger than the Dona clan this time? It seems that Gaogang City's tribute this year has been reduced by a quarter compared to last year?"
The spy didn't dare to say much, but just lowered his head.
She Dan smiled softly, "Go and tell them that I have taken a fancy to something in Jiuyuan, don't tell me what it is, let people from Gaogang City send it to me."
"Yes." The spy took the order and left.
