certainly.
The land is too vast, and the area of the territory doesn't make much sense. Most of it is covered by primeval jungles, inhabiting a large number of monsters. Many primeval jungles are forbidden areas for human activities, even sky knights dare not set foot in them easily, for fear of being attacked by high-level monsters.
Humans in the mainland mostly built large cities on flat plains, and gathered towns along the roads between cities to ensure the safety of survival and communication.
Many long-distance trades require the guards of the Knights.
Ordinary businessmen couldn't afford to hire regular knight guards, so they hired those mercenary guards. Therefore, the existence of the mercenary group is always legal.
"Cubuasu is a fruit potion that tastes like a mixture of chocolate and pineapple. It is an expensive specialty of the Gubuasu family. It is said that it is a mutated variety of cocoa fruit that can produce chocolate. Our country All the chocolates are imported from Jiguancheng.”
The one who introduced Liszt was Captain Leiden, who was once again assigned to Liszt's Knights.
The Earl has already gone to the Castle of the Pheasant to attend the reception banquet hosted by the Marquis of Feather, and hold a combat meeting by the way. He walked around Jiguan City to buy some local products and so on: "Chocolate sells a lot, why doesn't our country have a lord to plant cocoa trees?"
"Probably the climate is not suitable, or there may be no cocoa elves."
Cockscomb City is bigger than Coral City. The buildings on both sides of the street even have seven-story wooden buildings. The residents range from gorgeously dressed nobles to ragged serfs, all mixed together. There are also many knights dressed like them, probably knights who participated in the Opening Order.
"Hi, Viscount Liszt." Soon someone took the initiative to greet Liszt. It was a young viscount from Golden Island who had come to Coral Island to attend the wedding.
Liszt knew the other party, and he personally received him: "Viscount Cyril, are you also visiting Cockscomb City?"
"Haha, I'm not interested in Cockscomb City. I'm planning to go to the elf market to see if there are any suitable elf worms. I plan to buy a few."
"Elf Market?" Liszt became interested, "I plan to go and have a look."
"Then let's go together.
"
Following Viscount Cyril, the group soon came to the elf market in the corner of Cockscomb City. This is a small wild elf trading market, and there are not many elf insects for sale. There is a magic book in Liszt's collection called the selling price of the wild elf worm market, which records the elf market.
In Steel City, the capital of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, there is a large wild elf trading market. The price of elves trading there is clearly recorded in the book.
For example, a Venus flytrap elf bug costs 3,600 gold coins—he bought it from Viscount Yunus for only 700 gold coins.
However, the city of steel is full of mosquitoes and flies, and every household likes to buy fly traps and grow them at home. Even if the insect-catching ability of fly traps is very low, as long as the planting scale increases, the effect of catching mosquitoes and flies is still good.
On the Coral Island, Venus Flytraps are almost useless, there are not many mosquitoes and flies, and commoners cannot afford them. Nobles have other ways to drive away mosquitoes and flies.
Along the way, Liszt gradually had a clear understanding of the price of this small elf market.
The price is about the same as that of the City of Steel, generally around one or two thousand gold coins; useless elf worms cost hundreds of gold coins; those elf worms linked to potions are worth two thousand gold coins; The most expensive elf worm I saw, with a price tag of 3,800 gold coins, was a mysterious fruit elf worm.
Miracle fruit is not a potion, but it can enhance the sense of taste of the human tongue and is an excellent food to accompany meals.
"It's expensive, and you can't recover the cost if you buy it back. The population on Coral Island is too small, and there are not many nobles, so there is no demand for the mysterious fruit." He shook his head, and had no intention of buying it back.
I want to buy some grain-based elf worms.
However, the price of grain-type elf worms is not cheap, none of which is less than 2,000 pieces-the value of the grains that the elf worms have increased in ten years can't even cover their own price. Buying it back is more about expecting it to evolve into an elf. Once it evolves, it will make a lot of money.
After all, grain is an important component of human food, and the increase in grain production brought by an elf can live countless people.
Liszt is very short of grain elves. He only has 1 barley worm, 1 corn worm, and 2 wheat worms. Perhaps the corn grass worm can also be regarded as a grain elf, after all, there are cob corn and grain corn now.
"The price of wheat worms is 2,300 gold coins, which is not worth it. I don't have that many gold coins right now. Forget it, let's wait for the territory to conceive by itself. I have the task of smoke, and the source of elf worms is not a problem." Liszt silently calculated, Give up the intention to buy.
He was going to continue to look around to see if there were nightshade worms, rubber worms, and thorn worms. As long as the price of these three kinds of elf worms was not outrageous, he would definitely grab them without hesitation.
pity.
I looked around and couldn't find it.
There are less than a hundred spirit worms traded in the spirit market, most of which are useless spirit worms—the trade of elf worms is not prosperous enough, and many of them are provided by small nobles who are unable to manage, and big nobles can only buy but not sell— — For nobles, elves are always scarce.
If Viscount Jonas hadn't encountered financial problems, he wouldn't have sold black nightshade insects and flytrap insects at the beginning.
Leaving the elf market, Liszt asked Captain Layden: "When will the serf trade be held?"
"Not yet, but once the war starts, a mercenary group will come to contact us soon. We only need to prepare ships by the sea, and the mercenary group will escort a large number of serfs to come to trade. The time is very short, maybe within an hour , just complete the transaction, and then leave separately.”
Captain Layden has participated in many pioneering orders and is very clear about the serf trade.
Even in some serf trades, the villages were plundered on the same day, and the serfs were escorted to trade on the same day.
Captain Layden added: "You can also contact the serf traders, and the serf traders can buy slaves. They always have a channel to obtain a large number of slaves. Then we just need to wait for their broken wooden boats by the sea, and we don't even need to go ashore to complete the process." trade."
This trading of serfs is obviously to prevent the knights from discovering the transaction.
The security has been greatly improved, but it will be taken by the serf traders, so it is better to trade directly with the mercenary group.
"Our coral islands generally trade directly, or do we contact serf traders?" Liszt asked.
Captain Layden smiled mysteriously.
Seeing that no one was approaching, he whispered: "Master, do you know how those small lords who are often invaded by the coast survive? Their territories may not produce much, but the mercenary groups they keep in captivity are even more powerful than others." The mercenary regiments raised by some big lords are even bigger, and they are all engaged in slave trade in secret."
He added: "The rats will help us contact the mercenary group, and we can get a small port without even fighting."
