Joe and En didn't come to the water room to wash themselves like everyone else, but let the slaves fetch water for themselves to wash themselves and put on new clothes.
The new clothes are obviously much more exquisite than the previous ones, the craftsmanship is more exquisite, there are beautiful dark patterns on the fabric, and a lot of effort has been put into the tailoring design.
The style is similar to ancient Chinese gowns, but it is more self-cultivating, and the round collar is layered on top of each other, which looks very complicated.
The waist is tied with a wide belt, which is made of colorful and exquisite gemstones, which is gorgeous and shining.
The lower body is wearing trousers, tied with cloth strips from below the knees, and put into leather boots.
At his waist was a sword made of diamonds and gold, and on his back was a light and beautiful cloak fastened with ornate broochs.
On the neck, fingers, and wrists, there are also eye-catching precious stones, which adorn the whole person very dazzlingly.
The outfits of the two of them clearly distinguished themselves from others, and there was a unique aura all over their bodies.
At this time, the people from the Starfire Tribe knocked on their door, ready to lead them to the reception room.
Joe and En adjusted their attire before letting the slave open the door.
The Starfire guide only glanced at him, without changing his expression, and made an invitation gesture, his attitude was no different from before.
Oh, these savages really don't appreciate it!
Joe and En were very displeased. In other tribes, as long as they put on such attire, those people would show expressions of surprise and admiration.
His eyes are full of longing, and he can greatly satisfy his sense of superiority every time.
But this time, it didn't work
It must be the man's fault, not knowing how to appreciate good things.
But they soon discovered that along the way, some people would take a look here, but their expressions were very calm, and they didn't think it was unusual.
But because they are outsiders, they just subconsciously take a look.
For their attire, for their display of financial resources, turn a blind eye.
Are these people blind
Or are they wearing the wrong clothes today
But when other tribes who came to participate in the celebration passed them by, the envy and longing in their eyes made them regain their sense of superiority.
The reception room is on the first floor of the temple building, which also allows Joe and En to get close to this tall, almost miraculous building in the Eastern Continent.
The first step is to climb up the high stone steps. In the middle of the steps there is a large stone with exquisite pictures of clothes carved on it.
There are stars and fire on it, symbolizing the Xinghuo tribe.
Except for this painting, the entire staircase does not have much decoration, it just fulfills its function.
"What's this?" asked Joe, pointing to something he had never seen before.
At the end of the stairs, there is a very wide platform, on which there is a stone disc with a wooden stick in the middle.
The stone was engraved with patterns that they couldn't understand, a bit like writing.
"This is a sundial specially used to tell the time. In our tribe, you will hear the bell on the hour. How many times it rings, it means what time it is now. But the bell will stop after ten o'clock in the evening , and it will start ringing again at five o'clock the next morning."
"You mean this thing can be used to tell the time?!"
Both En and Joe were shocked. What kind of monster is this tribe that even watches the time? !
What's more, he said ten o'clock and five o'clock, which seemed to be very accurate.
The common time in the Western Continent is nothing more than vague concepts such as sunrise, early morning, morning, and noon.
"Yes, the sundial can be accurate to the quarter, which is fifteen minutes. One minute is counted at the speed of 1, 2, 3... until it reaches sixty. That is to say, it is necessary to count nine in fifteen minutes. The time required for a hundred times.
The divine envoy said that as long as the time is clear, people can better control their activities and be more precise. Now we are also developing more accurate timers that are not affected by sunlight. "
En and Qiao's faces became a little ugly, because they realized that the savage, who can't even count, is so good at mathematics!
They used to take advantage of the weakness that many people in the Eastern Continent did not know how to count, and made some tricks during the exchange, so that they could exchange less goods for more things from the other party.
Although these contents may be memorized and explained to them, it also means that someone in this tribe is proficient.
Although they didn't want to admit it, they had to say that this timer didn't exist in the Western Continent either.
They also have no way to say without conscience that this thing is useless, because they can see its goodness at a glance, and they have made up their minds to learn it back.
If such timers are contributed, they will definitely be rewarded by the king. This contribution is much greater than ordinary goods transactions.
Joe and En were led to the reception room on the first floor, where it was as plain and simple as ever, and one could feel that this tribe had only just begun to develop, so it focused more on functionality and less on decorative things.
However, it was obvious that they had put a lot of thought into it. In the middle of the reception room was a rectangular table surrounded by carefully woven rattan chairs.
The house is decorated with black pottery flower arrangements, and beautiful pictures are hung on the walls.
The whole house is spacious and bright, and the decoration is simple but not shabby.
There was an elderly female sitting in the room, she stood up from the rattan chair when they came in, and smiled at them.
"Welcome, my distinguished guests. I am Jiao, the priest of the Xinghuo Tribe. Thank you for coming from afar. We feel very honored."
Joe and En's faces were not very good-looking, and En's voice sank:
"Where's your chief! Don't the two of us have the right to meet him? Is this how your Xinghuo tribe treats guests?"
The status of priests in the tribe is also not low, as important as chiefs.
But the Xinghuo Tribe is different, they also have an envoy, and Qiao and En think that this also weakens the role of the priest.
Coupled with the style of Black Hunter, he has absolute control, and will not be controlled by priests like other tribes, and his status will be higher.
Now they just sent a priest to receive them, which is really deceiving!
Jiao was not angry because of this, and said with a smile:
"He will personally entertain you during dinner. Before that, we still have some chores to deal with, and I will be responsible for these tasks."
Qiao and En were still very displeased, and their faces were extremely ugly. They had never received such treatment in the Eastern Continent!
Wherever they usually go, the chiefs and priests personally receive them, lest they be neglected.
In the Xinghuo tribe, it's fine if the envoy can't see it, and the chief hasn't shown up until now!
At this moment, Jiao was not in a hurry to start, but rang the bell, and a young and beautiful girl walked in with a plate.
There are black pottery pots and black pottery teacups on it.
"The weather is hot, it is inevitable to get angry, drink some tea to relieve the anger."
The girl who came in picked up a large kettle filled with hot water, poured the hot water into a more delicate black pottery teapot to warm the kettle, and after getting rid of the cold air in the kettle, poured it into a water bowl beside it.
Then open a small jar next to it, open the lid to reveal the green tea leaves inside, and a faint fragrance wafts out.
En, who originally wanted to express his anger, was suppressed by this faint fragrance.
what is this? !
At this time, the girl picks up some tea leaves with a bamboo clip on the side, puts them into the teapot, pours boiling water into them, washes the tea leaves, and quickly continues to pour the first tea into the water bowl, and then pours boiling water into the teapot again.
After waiting for about a minute, the tea in the teapot was poured into small cups and distributed to those present.
The whole process of making tea is not complicated, but the girl's set of movements is extremely graceful, indescribably pleasing to the eye.
"This is the most precious tea in our tribe. The quantity is not large, and it is specially used to receive distinguished guests like you."
Jiao is still neither arrogant nor impetuous, with a faint smile on his face.
She is actually not very old, but for a place like the Eastern Continent with a very high elimination rate, she is just an old man.
During this period of time, I ate well and slept soundly. Although I was very busy every day, I was very satisfied, and my whole state was different.
More radiant, revealing a different beauty.
And after becoming a priest, the whole person became more gentle, and under the deliberate adjustment of every move, the rudeness of the past faded away.
Ordinary people in the tribe just think that she looks more and more reassuring, but in the eyes of the people of the Western Continent, she is elegant and calm.
Especially when picking up the teacup and sipping tea slowly, the feeling is so strong that people dare not speak loudly in front of such a lady, for fear of offending her and making themselves look very vulgar.
In such an atmosphere, Qiao and En's attitudes became more relaxed, and their attention was attracted by the emerald green tea in front of them.
Picking up the teacup, I wanted to sample tea like Jiao Yi, but I accidentally swallowed the whole cup like this.
The eyes of both of them lit up!
This taste is really amazing, the taste is smooth, after drinking it, it will leave a mouthful, and more importantly, it is very refreshing!
Joe and En traveled all the way, although their physical strength was very good, and they were often carried by horses or coolies on their backs, but they were still very tired.
After drinking this cup of tea, it is obvious that the whole person has a lot of energy.
This feeling is wonderful, even though it's just a small cup, with their businessman's keen sense of smell, they can already perceive how wonderful these drinks are.
They can now conclude that these teas will definitely be popular throughout the Western Continent!
Before they could ask, the girl poured tea for them very perceptively.
Although Jiao and the girl didn't show any expressions, they were still ashamed of the rudeness just now, and this time they could finally start savoring it slowly.
"I want to trade these teas with you!"
En threw all the previous principles behind him, and now he just wants to get the tea.
Although the shock brought by iron was very great, he also knew very well that iron could be used as a weapon, and it was not easy to exchange it.
Even if these people used it extravagantly to build a cauldron, it doesn't mean they don't know the value of iron.
On the contrary, because he knew it, he made such a big pot and used it as one of the symbols of the temple.
These barbarians are easy to fool at other times, but they are very valued and shrewd about the weapons that can save their lives and use them to find food.
A greedy person like Chief Blackstone would not hesitate to exchange his clansmen for what he wanted, and would not easily exchange his Blackstone weapon, nor would he ever tell outsiders where they found their Blackstone.
But these teas are different!
He is a businessman. Although he values iron, which can change a city, profit is his first consideration.
Jiao was not surprised that he would say that, and his expression became a little embarrassed.
"We don't have many teas, especially these teas, which will be gone after drinking. New teas will not be available until next year, and it is difficult to guarantee whether the taste is the same as these teas."
The Xinghuo tribe has also planted a lot of tea trees, but they will not be able to pick tea until at least next year, and the output may not be much at the beginning, at least until three years later.
At the beginning, the people of Xinghuo Tribe didn't appreciate tea. Although they thought it was a good thing, they still felt that it was not as good as sugar water.
But when their stomachs are no longer as hungry as before, they will feel the goodness of tea.
Tea has medicinal properties, which can refresh and clear away heat and reduce internal heat.
Xinghuo people like chili peppers. The spiciness can drive away the moisture in the body, but it is also difficult to avoid getting angry because of excess.
Therefore, tea is one of the best weapons for reducing fire.
Especially now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, drinking tea can not only reduce fire, but also very refreshing, and it is easy to quench thirst. Drinking for a long time can also improve eyesight.
Yang Yi didn't bring much, so there were fewer people who could enjoy it.
But Yang Yi firmly believes that gradually everyone will appreciate the benefits of tea, just like the development of tea on the earth, so Yang Yi increased the planting of tea trees later.
"You will still have it next year. Isn't it good to exchange these with us? You should be very clear that the Western Continent has many things that the Eastern Continent does not have. Or what you want, we can also bring you specially. "
Joe and En's caravan not only traded goods between the east and west continents, but also exchanged items from different places when traveling in various parts of the east continent.
The Eastern Continent is very large, and the situation in many places is also different, and exchanges are often made with each other.
It's just that in many cases, it is not convenient for many tribes to travel, and the Western Continent Caravan saw this business opportunity. In addition to the item trading between the East and West continents, the business of item trading within the Eastern Continent is also being done.
This is one of the reasons why the Western Continent Caravan is famous in the Eastern Continent. They travel around and always have what you want.
Even if they don't have it for now, they will bring it next time.
Jiao was obviously moved, he hesitated for a long time and said:
"These teas cannot be kept for a long time, and must be drunk before the cold season, otherwise the taste will become very bad."
This time is indeed not long, after all, it takes a long time to walk from here to the Western Continent.
Ke En still didn't think about it and replied: "This is not a problem."
"Then what do you want to exchange?" Jiao asked.
When Qiao and En got the positive answer, they were immediately elated. They could already foresee how much disturbance these tea leaves would cause in the aristocratic circle when they spread to the Western Continent!
Not to mention the taste and effect of the tea itself, just the girl's elegant tea making action is enough to attract noble girls to follow suit.
This is sure to be a thing to show off your own elegant qualities, representing nobility and distinction!
At this moment, Joe and En completely forgot the sense of superiority they had before they came here, and they were unknowingly influenced by the barbarians they looked down upon.
Not only to take away their tea, but also to learn how to make tea, and to exchange a series of tools for making tea.
En took a sip of tea, suppressed his excitement, and tried to keep calm.
"This is a gift from us to the envoy. If he likes it, we can exchange it."
The attendant brought up an exquisite wooden box and handed it in front of Jiao.
Jiao opened the wooden box. At this moment, both En and Qiao raised the corners of their lips, staring fixedly at Jiao's expression.
The gaffe just now made them annoyed, and they had to see the shock in other people's eyes to make themselves feel less embarrassed.
Jiao saw a crystal cup lying in it. The workmanship was fairly exquisite, but it was not transparent enough, and it was a little gray and fluffy.
Of course, this kind of thinking is also because Jiao has seen transparent glasses, some of which are colorful, so he is a little picky about the crystal glasses that are not considered top-grade.
She still had a faint smile on her face. It is the most basic courtesy not to dislike any gift from others.
Although she was not surprised, she also knew that they were precious.
"Thank you very much for your gift, I believe the envoy will be very happy."
that's it? Gone
shocked? Excited? I can't wait to sleep in my arms and don't want to give up!
This is a natural transparent crystal cup!
Although not very good, but still very precious.
Whether it is the barbarians of the Western Continent or the Eastern Continent, it is difficult to resist the sparkle brought by jewelry crystals, and they always want to own them.
The richer the tribe, the more keen on this luxury.
Even poor tribes can hardly resist their attraction, but they don't and don't have the ability to possess that's all.
Qiao and En tried to find some clues from Jiao's expression, trying to prove that she was just suppressing herself, but they were disappointed.
Jiao is really very calm, not surprised by these things.
It's not ignorance, don't know their value, but it's not surprising to see more.
Especially the following sentence made their last hope even more dispelled.
"If you want to trade these, all I can say is sorry."
Joe didn't give up: "You don't like it, maybe your angels like it."
This woman may just not appreciate it!
Jiao smiled and shook his head: "The envoy is not interested in these, he is a well-informed person, and he doesn't like these things that are not of much use to him."
"I don't think you are qualified to make decisions for him!" Joe couldn't help shouting, "He has brought miracles to your tribe. You can't let him not have what he wants because of your own selfish desires."
"I think it's better for you to think about whether there is anything else that can be exchanged with us."
Jiao's attitude is very tough. Although she still has a gentle smile on her face, no one thinks that she is easy to compromise.
"For example, the pony you brought, we are very interested."
Joe wanted to say something, but was stopped by Eun.
"The specifics of how to trade, we will discuss in detail with your chiefs and envoys later."
Jiao had no objection, the deal with the Western Continent was indeed to be controlled by Black Hunter and Yang Yi, which involved the future development of the entire tribe.
Although these people from the Western Continent are very arrogant, they can indeed bring many things that other tribes cannot bring.
"You have brought many people into our tribe. In order to ensure the order in the tribe, you must manage your own people and abide by the rules of our tribe."
"Of course."
"I will register all of you in a moment, please be sure to let your people cooperate."
"Registration?"
Focus nodded: "There will be a lot of people coming to this celebration. In order to ensure that no villains will sneak in, we must collect information from everyone."
Qiao Heen felt that he must not have learned the lingua franca of the Eastern Continent well, why did this passage sound so strenuous.
Jiao didn't explain much, and took out a folder.
"Let's start with you first. You live in rooms 301 and 302 in Building 1 of the guest house. You are male. What are your names? Where are you from? What are your positions in the team?"
?
What is this for? !
What kind of weird rule is this? !
"The two of you will be registered by me, and the others will have special personnel to inquire about the registration. In order to prevent some of you from not being able to speak Eastern Continental, I hope you can send a few people who are proficient in Eastern Continental to cooperate with our staff. "
Jiao spoke again, which was the result of the discussion between Yang Yi and Hei Lie.
To enter the Xinghuo Tribe, you need to register, just like registering in a modern hotel.
They must have everyone's information, and they can gradually understand the general situation of the Western Continent or other tribes.
This is to ensure security and is also one of the ways of information collection.
As for some people who dislike trouble or are unwilling to cooperate, this is their territory!
I am the master of my territory, if you are not satisfied, you can just leave, no one will stop you.
In addition to the active inquiries, the registration personnel will also visually observe and record the main characteristics of the other party, such as height, weight, appearance or body characteristics.
And it is required that as long as you stay in the guest house, you cannot change the room unless you apply with them.
This also facilitates ward rounds and other work, and no one is allowed to fool around.
The Xinghuo tribe is just a new tribe now, and many tribes are eyeing it.
The Blackstone Tribe failed to use the Tusk Tribe before, and no one knows if there is a backup.
There is not only one tribe like the Tusk tribe in the Eastern Continent. Their tribe is still leaking everywhere. If they want to maintain safety, every detail cannot be ignored.
This is also to develop a habit for everyone and pave the way for future management.
"Why do we still do such a thing?!" Joe was extremely annoyed.
"There used to be a tribe that killed the members of their tribe because one tribe pretended to be a member of another tribe, causing them to recognize the wrong enemy, which led to the destruction of the two tribes, and the tribe of the person who pretended to kill them easily occupation.
We are also maintaining our relationship with each other to avoid such things from happening. "
Jiao said, squinting slightly threateningly: "Or, is there anyone among you that should not be known?"
"of course not!"
Joe felt that when he came to the Starfire Tribe, he encountered more weird things than before. He felt that his personality had been insulted, which made it difficult for him to maintain his elegance.
He looked at En to resist such behavior, but saw En staring at the things in Jiao's hand in a daze.
En pointed to the folder in Jiao's hand and asked, "What is this?"
