"Ling'er, my brother won't listen to your opinion. wWw.QuanBeN-XiaoShuo.CoM" Ling Feng smiled slightly and said to Ling Ling. Naturally, the little girl can get a lot of fun out of listening to her opinions once or twice occasionally. However, the more she listens to them, the more the same tune will appear. Ling Feng didn't want to cultivate Ling Ling's ability to talk nonsense and cause trouble.
When Ling Ling heard what Ling Feng said, she immediately pouted, feeling a little dissatisfied. However, after seeing a dwarf child holding several iron fists in his hands and trying to pull them around, he immediately focused his attention on him. He didn't care what Ling Feng and Roberts had to say.
When Ling Feng saw it, he wasn't upset, but felt a lot calmer.
"Master, a long time ago, the relationship between the dwarves and humans was actually very good." Roberts looked at Ling Feng and said, "However, with the development of human society, more and more people have appeared among humans. The alchemist mastered a good method of making weapons. After that, it seemed that the relationship between the dwarves and humans began to gradually become alienated. Of course, the transactions still existed.
But, you also know that at the beginning, the deal between dwarves and humans really suffered. After all, the trading ability of the dwarves is really terrible compared to humans. "
"That's not right. How come I see that all the dwarves nowadays are very smart?" Ling Feng looked around and felt that the dwarves were not stupid. At least, judging from the appearance of the transaction, both parties are happy.
"Master, these dwarves are the more flexible people found among the entire dwarf tribe." Robertst said, "They have been cultivating the trading abilities of these dwarves since they were young, in order to be able to trade with humans. You won’t suffer too much.”
After a pause, Roberts pointed at a few dwarf children in the market and said, "And, master, you see, those dwarf children will be the ones responsible for trading with humans in the future. After years of hard work, they By accumulating experience in the trading market area, even if you are an inexperienced person, you won’t suffer too much when you start doing business, right?”
"That's right. It's really hard to say what kind of changes will happen under the influence of ears and eyes." Ling Feng nodded and said, "It seems that there are also smart people in the dwarf tribe."
"Moreover, the dwarves tend to look for some familiar targets when trading." Robertst said, "This reduces their trade risks to the greatest extent. Therefore, some countries around the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Especially in the Madrid Empire, many large families will appoint a designated person to come to the market area to trade with the dwarves. If a person gets old, there will also be his successor, and the handover work will be done in advance. In this way As a result, if things continue like this, it will be very difficult for other human forces to intervene in the dwarf trade."
"Master. If you just want to obtain a small amount of weapons made by the dwarves, you can go to the black market." Hearing this. Johnny, who had been keeping quiet. Said something on the side.
As Johnny Earth, who grew up in the Kingdom of Muscat. Although it is not very close to Shiwanda Mountain. But after all, it is right next to the Elf Forest. and. The Kingdom of Masburt is one of the two great empires of mankind. The buffer zone between the Madrid Empire and the French Empire. Nature has its own merits.
It must be related to the relationship between the two empires. They all maintain a subtle relationship.
This also makes Johnny, who is the third prince's attendant. With more understanding of the dwarves who are also located in the Hundred Thousand Mountains between the Madrid Empire and the French Empire. More secrets.
"Black market?" Ling Feng asked curiously.
"Yes." Johnny replied. Always simple and capable. "The weapons sold by the dwarves to humans every year are in limited quantities. They are often in the hands of people from big families. Some warriors from small families. If you want to obtain weapons, you must go to black to trade. Although the price is also very high. But Compared to the weapons of the dwarves resold in human society, they are much cheaper."
"Those dwarves who sell weapons in the black market are probably not using secret channels, right?" Ling Feng said with a slight smile. It seems that no matter where it is, if there is a profit motive, there will be people who will take some risks to do it.
"Yes." Johnny replied, "Not all dwarves want to be stable."
As long as there are people who are not satisfied, there will be smuggling. Especially terrain like the Shiwandashan Mountains couldn't be more hidden for private transactions. Even a person of Ling Feng's strength cannot use his perceptual abilities on a large scale if he wants to investigate.
If we rely on flying monsters to patrol the sky, unless it is a ninth-level monster like Baijiahei, otherwise, the range that can be patrolled is too large compared to the long line of contact between hundreds of thousands of mountains and humans. Narrow.
"By the way, Xiaote, the dwarves don't allow humans to enter Shiwanda Mountain, right? It's to prevent black market transactions as much as possible?" Lingfeng felt that the existence of the black market, although beneficial to both parties in the transaction, is not good for the entire human race and As far as the dwarf trade is concerned, it is unfair.
"Haha, Master, you are wrong this time." Roberts said with a smile, "On the contrary, the dwarves not only do not prevent their own people from trading with humans, but in many cases, the transactions in the black market are also organized. "
"
What? "Ling Feng was really confused this time.
"Because, this." Roberts said, shaking the wine bottle in his hand. Roberts bought this after coming to the trading market. This kind of drink is specially prepared for the dwarves, and is stronger than the strong drinks in human society.
If you like drinking, try it once in a while, it can be regarded as a delicacy in the world.
No, Robertson bought several pots. However, even Ling Feng didn't show up, and the rest were hidden somewhere by Roberts. This made Ling Feng very suspicious that Robertsitt should have a subordinate space similar to Ling Ling's. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hold so much wine without even having a space ring.
The shape of the hip flask is very rough, but its capacity is relatively large. It is completely made to hold enough wine. For the dwarves, it doesn't matter what they use to hold their wine. As long as the wine is strong enough and there is enough, that's fine.
"The men of the dwarf tribe are all good drinkers. Their capacity for drinking is also astonishing." Robertust explained, "So even if the entire tribe planned how much wine it would need next year and how much wine it would produce in the previous year, Weapons and human beings are traded, but by the second year, there is often not enough to drink. If black market transactions are not supported, where will they get drinks?"
To be honest, apart from removing weapons from the dwarves, humans really have nothing else to do with them.
"However, black market areas are generally located at the interface between human society and Shiwanda Mountain.
"Robertist continued, "Firstly, the dwarves will not allow most humans to enter their homes. Secondly, if the dwarves appear in human society, they will be quite conspicuous. Therefore, it is most appropriate to trade on the junction line. Even if these transactions are secretive. "
Seemingly lamenting the difficulty of a race's survival, Robertson sighed softly after saying these words: "Most of the dwarves who appear in human society are not living a satisfactory life in the tribe, or they are unsatisfactory. Maybe he wants to go gold mining in human society."
This made Ling Feng look at Robert Bett with admiration.
I thought that after Robert Zite followed him, he would lose his trade as a troubadour. In the end, it turns out that a dog can't change its habit of eating shit. Well, you can't say that. It should be said that the country is easy to change. It’s hard to change one’s nature. Uh, why are these words the same
Ling Feng looked at Roberts and searched for a while, but couldn't find a suitable word.
However, at first glance, at this moment, Roberto actually seemed to have the compassionate temperament of a troubadour.
"Okay, Xiaote, we are here to find someone. There is no need to discuss the survival of the dwarves." Lingfeng said to Roberts, "You haven't said why we can't enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains rashly. "
If he didn't figure this out, it would be hard for Ling Feng to quietly go into the mountains to look for someone.
There is nothing to worry about in terms of safety. But Ling Feng's purpose is to find someone. To find someone, you always need to ask the local dwarves, right? If every dwarf is hostile to me, how can we search for him? Lingfeng didn't want to search for Ravili in the Hundred Thousand Mountains without any clue.
"Metal mines, because of the metal mines used to make weapons. The reason why the dwarves..." Roberts replied.
"I see. I understand." Before Roberts could finish speaking, Ling Feng slapped his head and said with a smile, looking a little annoyed. Such a simple truth, why didn't you think of it beforehand? If this were not the case, why would the dwarves choose to live in a place like Shiwanda Mountain
Just think about it and you will know that if there were no metal minerals in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the dwarves would not be able to make the numerous weapons every year, right
As for Ravili, when he came to Shiwandashan, he also promised to give Lingfeng an unexpected gift. At this moment, Ling Feng also came to some understanding. Ravelli is an alchemist, although human alchemists are generally not as good as dwarves in making weapons. However, human alchemists also have a skill that dwarves cannot learn.
That is to attach magic to the weapon.
The weapon made by the dwarves is processed by human alchemists and becomes an expensive weapon with enchanted properties. Of course, the premise is that the weapons made by the dwarves must have magic properties in their materials.
When chatting with Ravili before, Ling Feng had told him about the weapons on the continent. Perhaps it was an unintentional remark, or maybe it was just a discussion about weapons. Ling Feng seemed to have said that the weapon he was good at using was a one-handed sword in the language of humans on the ancient continent. However, the sword body is longer, narrower and more flexible.
Moreover, at that time, Ling Feng had not yet obtained Tie Suiya.
The longing for a good weapon is naturally a sincere one.
Thinking of the gift Ravelli had promised, Ling Feng could easily think of this. Combined with the location Ravelli visited, Ravelli's purpose of coming to Shiwandashan is about to be revealed.
"Johnny, go and find out which area in the Hundred Thousand Mountains produces the best minerals for making one-handed swords." Ling Feng couldn't help but give Johnny an order, and then turned to look at Roberts, Said, "Perhaps, we can find Ravili in advance."
"Master, you mean that Ravelli came here to find materials for making a one-handed sword?" Robertst learned from Ling Feng's words.
, and I understood.
"I hope I'm not wrong. Otherwise, it will be really troublesome." Seeing the vast mountains in front of him, Ling Feng felt uncertain. "By the way, where is this little guy Ling'er?"
When he turned around, he saw that Ling Ling had gone to nowhere.
Fortunately, the trading market area was not very big. Ling Feng smiled bitterly and found Ling Ling's location as soon as he used his senses. After all, Ling Feng was too familiar with Ling Ling's aura. After a brief moment of sensing, Ling Ling's trace was clearly revealed.
When Ling Feng and Roberts walked over, Ling Ling was playing happily with a group of children in front of a low house. Maybe it was because he hadn't met so many children together for a long time, or maybe it was because Ling Ling was born full of energy. Her laughter could be heard by Ling Feng and Roberts from far away.
Ling Feng and Roberts looked at each other.
"Master, it seems that Miss Ling Ling has been suffocated in Shenjuanju." Roberts said calmly. If he hadn't accidentally seen Ling Ling mingling with a group of children this time, it would be hard for Roberts to imagine that a person with Ling Ling's strength would still play with these innocent children.
It seems that everyone has ignored Ling Ling's age.
It is really because of her abilities that it is difficult for people to imagine that Ling Ling is still a child. She has even grown up in Christina's eyes. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Christina to explain why Ling Ling likes to pester Ling Feng so much, and she often creates little troubles.
Christina could only attribute it to the fact that Ling Ling had a vague crush on Ling Feng.
I'm afraid only in Ling Feng's eyes, Ling Ling is still a complete child, right? Just look at how Ling Feng usually dotes on and spoils Ling Ling, and you will know.
"This time, girl." Ling Feng muttered. The look in Ling Ling's eyes was more gentle and intimate. It seems that only among a group of children, Ling Ling's laughter becomes more real and touching.
However, these children in front of me are not just dwarves, there are also some human children. There were also a few human adults nearby. From Ling Feng's point of view, they should be looking after these human children. You know, even children will get into fights sometimes. Dwarf children are obviously much stronger than human children of the same stature.
Moreover, the site here obviously belongs to the dwarves.
The surrounding houses are very low, and you can tell at a glance that they are inhabited by dwarves. The play settings on the field are also very crude. However, the advantage lies in the variety.
What hoops and pebbles are thrown? Even adults can’t help but recall a lot of childishness when they look at it. When the children play, they naturally do not differentiate between each other.
What's interesting is that in front of a row of low houses on the side, there are a few children learning to talk, looking curiously at the brothers and sisters playing in the middle of the field. Those innocent eyes, whether human or dwarf, are so breathtaking.
Ling Ling was so happy that she even ran over and picked up a dwarf child with dark skin.
There was an adult dwarf nearby who wanted to stop him. After all, Ling Ling looks about ten years old, but adults will still be a little worried if they leave their child to Ling Ling to hold. She couldn't help but hesitate, whether to step forward and snatch the child back from Ling Ling's arms.
Who made Ling Ling move so fast that the adults around the child didn't expect it
However, with Ling Ling's careful movements, and after holding the child, the child's giggles came out of his mouth, and he even waved his little hands randomly, and the dwarf woman's face changed. The worried look gradually disappeared, and he just watched Ling Ling's actions with his own eyes.
And children's learning ability is indeed very powerful.
With Ling Ling's example, some older children naturally ran to the sidelines to hold the babies who couldn't walk yet. As if for an instant, the faces of these older children glowed with a kind of overwhelming love. The smile is very warm. Even the adults standing nearby will be affected by such a harmonious scene.
"Xiao Te, don't you think you should write poetry at a time like this?" Ling Feng did not rush forward to call Ling Ling back, but instead said something to Roberts beside him.
"Master, are you also very poetic and want to do it?" This is very rare, and Roberts couldn't help but look at Ling Feng with eyes full of hope. You know, although Ling Feng does not write poetry, he occasionally utters a few poetic words, which made Roberts exclaim that poetry is indeed everywhere and no one can do it.
"Me?" Ling Feng thought, he would just teach them how to play the games played by children on Earth. If he were asked to write poetry, he probably wouldn't be able to write it even if he was killed. "I'd better forget it. I But I can't steal your job. Otherwise, when others talk about it, where will I be able to put my reputation as a master?"
Although he doesn't write poetry, Ling Feng can still tease Roberts.
While they were laughing, Johnny rushed here from a distance. Seeing the slight smile on his ugly face, Ling Feng thought, maybe he got some good news, right
