Chapter 16 Canyon Village
"I still need a construction tool box, I still need a construction tool box..."
Yang Yi muttered, this is caused by lack of knowledge. Why didn't he expect that construction workers need construction tool boxes to use construction skills.
"There is no construction toolbox in the village." Yang Yi said.
"Village chief, this was originally the ratchet city of goblins?" the fishman peon suddenly asked after seeing Yang Yi's reaction.
"Yes, so what?" Yang Yi asked.
"On the Merchant Coast, a day's journey south of Ratchet City, there is a murloc village called 'Canyon Village'. They came from the Echo Islands outside Ratchet Bay a few years ago. This murloc village developed Not bad and there are occasional trades with foreigners, there might be a construction toolbox there.”
The fishmen have lived on the merchant coast all year round before they worked hard, so they are quite familiar with this area.
"Really? This lord will go take a look right away."
Yang Yi's enthusiasm was rekindled, and he looked at this level 1 construction worker in a new light.
This is a fish-man with a flexible mind. He speaks Shui Tribe language much more clearly and fluently than other fish-men. More importantly, he is much more sensible than most of the fish-men in the village.
Yang Yi's character is to do whatever he says, so he immediately started preparations.
First, get the remaining 21 silver and 62 copper from the last transaction with the goblin merchant.
The transactions between murlocs are mainly based on barter. For a long time, shells were the main currency of murlocs. Nowadays, murloc villages that have contact with the outside world will accept coins to a certain extent.
The Level 2 Slippery Shell Lobsterman's shrimp shells were thrown away in the village and are of no use for the time being, so he took them with him as well.
In the past few days, we have harvested a total of three blackmouth fish, which are now kept in a puddle in the village and taken with them.
Ratchet Village is still very poor so far. Yang Yi thought for a long time and only the shrimp shells of the Slippery Shell Lobsterman he just got yesterday and the blackmouth fish he caught by fishing are still worth some money.
There are many murlocs in the Murloc Village who can dive with harpoons to catch fish. Unfortunately, the main value of [Black Mouth Fish] lies in the use of alchemy to refine [Black Mouth Fish Oil], an intermediate ingredient for alchemy.
Therefore, unless there is an alchemist in the village who can immediately refine it, the [Black Mouth Fish] killed with a harpoon will lose its value after being putrefied or dried.
Because he heard that it was a day's journey from here, Yang Yi decided to go there on a turtle mount.
The one-day distance mentioned by the fishman peon refers to walking on foot. If you ride a turtle mount, it is estimated that a round trip plus the time spent in the canyon fishman village will only take half a day.
In addition to the turtle mount Yang Yi, he also brought along the murloc merchant and the murloc beachwalker Brak as a bodyguard. The three murlocs rode the big turtle in the sea and soon arrived at the canyon village.
This is a large murloc village far away from the sea. The entire village is located in a cliff canyon on the side away from the coastline. In this way, the murlocs only need to concentrate on guarding the exit of the canyon.
The goblins in Ratchet City would not come so far when clearing the surrounding threats, and the pirates had no interest in the poor murlocs. Therefore, this canyon murloc village slowly developed on the merchant coast.
Yang Yi left the big turtle in the sea, and the three fishmen walked to Canyon Village together.
The fishmen usually extremely reject the races on land, but the relationship between the fishmen villages is relatively relaxed. If there is no direct struggle for survival, large-scale wars between the fishmen rarely occur.
At certain times of the year, the local fishman prophets would organize several similar tribes to gather together to exchange experiences and exchange goods. Currently, Ratchet Village was too weak to even be invited to participate in such gatherings.
After Yang Yi and the two fishmen expressed their intention to come, they were taken into the Canyon Village together. After entering the fishman village, Yang Yi had been paying close attention to the situation in the village.
Like most murloc villages, the appearance of this canyon murloc village can only be described as dirty and messy.
The planning failed or there was no planned building layout in the first place, the fish-man houses built of logs, leaves and mud, and the winding, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow village passages blocked by the houses.
Overall, there is no difference between this Canyon Murloc Village and other small Murloc settlements on the Merchant Travel Coast, except that it occupies a larger area, has dense buildings, and has more murlocs.
Yang Yi and the others were quickly brought to a murloc merchant, a murloc merchant in the canyon murloc village who specialized in foreign trade.
Yang Yi asked about the things he wanted to buy. Fortunately, the things Yang Yi wanted to buy were commonly used utensils, so there was no shortage in a fishman village of this size. In addition, Canyon Village also sells various rough quality level 1 and 2 weapons and tools, and even copper ores and alchemy potions for sale.
This time, Yang Yi learned his lesson and couldn't just get angry when something happened. He had to make some preparations for a rainy day.
There are currently four talents in Ratchet Village: Level 1 Builder, Level 1 Weaver, Level 1 Herbalist, and Level 1 Skinner, who do not have the corresponding tools, so the four talents are the Construction Tool Box, the Weaver's Knitting Gloves, the Herb Picking Shovel, and the Skinning Knife. I bought two of each type of tools, and only one of each of the three tools: the miner's hoe for the miner, the quarryer's pickaxe, and the lumberjack's felling ax.
These tools only make sense when held in the hands of people with corresponding skills. For example, a logging ax used by a Murloc without logging skills to chop down trees is not as good as a higher-level and more powerful large axe, so no corresponding effect was found. It is also a waste to buy too many talents in advance and prepare them.
These 11 tools were traded at the cost of a whole set of level 2 lobster man's shrimp shells and 3 blackmouth fish, and then Yang Yi spent 10 silver coins to buy 2 bottles of primary healing potions and 2 rolls of linen bandages.
The fishman merchant with valuation expertise reminded him that Yang Yi was not worried about the price and made the transaction with peace of mind.
After the transaction, the fishmen in the canyon fishman village obviously did not want the outsiders to stay for long, and Yang Yi and his team were quickly taken out.
During this trading trip, Yang Yi had a general understanding of the situation of the canyon fishman village, but it was obvious that the fishman village had strengths that he had not seen.
For example, the fishman village was willing to purchase alchemical materials blackmouth fish and also sell alchemical products such as primary healing potions, which means that there may be alchemists in this fishman village.
You should know that the threshold for professions such as alchemists, inscriptionists, and enchanters is very high, and you first need to master magic before you can get started.
Another thing that Yang Yi cares about is that the canyon fishman village also sells copper ore to the outside world.
After leaving the canyon fishman village, Yang Yi hurried back. Soon, they arrived safely back to the ratchet village. It was just noon at this time. Yang Yi and his team completed the transaction and went back and forth in just half a day.
Yang Yi handed everything except the construction toolbox to the old blind eye, and told him to give priority to treating the fishman hunters who were attacked by the lobster man. I believe that with the help of the healing potion, they will recover soon.
After the instructions, Yang Yi personally selected 5 strong fishmen, and then brought the fishman laborers with construction skills to the dock ruins again. .
