I Am God!

Chapter 737 The first businessman

He set foot on the shoreline, and then walked all the way along the coastline.

At night, he chases the moon.

During the day, he follows the sun.

Wherever there is light, he will go there, like a moth chasing the light, and wait until he wakes up, no one knows how long it has passed.

When his consciousness was really clear, he was standing by a lake, looking at a big tree burning like a fire in the distance.

Under the night sky, the tree stretched vigorously towards the sky. Its trunk was thick enough for two people to hug each other. Its branches were slanted upwards, and sparks were jumping on the branches.

On the top, like a lotus flower, there are a few huge red leaves, which are the only leaves.

so beautiful.

Attracting him to go to the other side.

When he was about to approach the tree, suddenly there was a shout behind him, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Don't get close, it's a man-eating monster."

Someone rushed out of the shadow of the jungle by the lake and grabbed him.

And he finally came back to his senses and looked at the other party.

It was a middle-aged man with a big beard and a sleeveless tunic. He was supposed to be carrying a bamboo basket and a box. At this moment, the things were thrown not far away. It should be after seeing him. dropped.

He was taken by the man to sit under a rock, where the other party was supposed to rest.

The man told him that it was not a luminous tree at all, it was probably a weird luminous tree that would prey on you as soon as you approached it.

The black-haired young man listened carefully. He obviously didn't understand the other party's language, but for some reason he understood the meaning of the other party's language.

While speaking, the tree moved.

The huge tree suddenly bent down, and its branches fell to the ground to support its body.

The leaves on the top are opening and closing, and if you look carefully, it is not a leaf at all.

It's its mouthparts.

This is a bug.

It ran towards the distance, leaving a burning trace on the ground it walked through, and this also confirmed what the bearded man said just now.

The black-haired young man watched the weird bug go away, and finally said the first sentence.

"Thank you for saving me."

However, the bearded man looked at the black-haired young man in astonishment, and even dropped the things in his hands to the ground.

Because the black-haired young man didn't speak at all when he spoke just now, but the voice just appeared in his mind.

The black-haired young man didn't look at the bearded man's surprised expression, but finally began to pay attention to himself.

He touched the fabric on his body, he was wearing a crew neck tunic, which was loose and comfortable, with a fabric belt tied around his waist.

There is only one wooden-soled rattan shoe left on his feet, and the strap of the last one is broken, so it barely fits on his foot.

"It must have been given to you by a woman."

The bearded man pointed at him as he fiddled with the rattan shoes on his feet, and said mysteriously.

"Only women can weave such exquisite flowers. We usually weave our own shoes, which is how simple it is."

"Look, your shoes are not only made of cork as the sole, but also carved with patterns on them. They are really beautiful."

The black-haired youth said, "I don't know either."

The bearded man noticed something unusual about the black-haired youth, so he asked cautiously.

"Which tribe do you belong to, are you from nearby?"

After speaking, he immediately denied it again.

"It's not like, there doesn't seem to be anyone like you in the nearby tribes."

"Your hair is black. It looks very special. I have never seen a tribe with black hair."

He moved closer and asked again.

"Why are you walking alone in the wilderness? It's so dangerous outside. Could it be that you were left alone during hunting and gathering?"

Youth does not remember at all.

He didn't know what his name was, and he couldn't remember anything about himself, he just felt as if he had slept for a long time, sleeping so much that he felt like he had turned into a stone.

He asked the bearded man: "What are you doing, why are you alone in the wild?"

The middle-aged man hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

Finally, he pointed to the baskets and boxes he was carrying.

"I mainly walk around with some things I find, and then every time I go to a tribe, I exchange some food with them, and I also exchange some things that I usually need."

The person in front of him said a lot, and it sounded confusing.

But the black-haired young man seemed to understand.

"Oh, you're a businessman."

Although the black-haired youth spoke without opening his mouth, the meaning he conveyed was more precise than his voice.

The bearded man never had the concept of a merchant in his mind, and the tribes of this world did not have the profession of a merchant, but when he heard what the other party told him, he knew what a merchant was.

The bearded man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said loudly.

"Yes, I am a businessman."

The black-haired young man just said something casually, and the bearded man suddenly became very happy for some reason, and kept chanting the word businessman, as if this word he just learned had some magical charm.

The bearded man chatted with the black-haired young man for a long time, but he still didn't know his name, so he hurriedly asked.

"May I have your name?"

He couldn't remember, but he didn't really care.

He said, "Call me whatever you want, I'll call you Big Beard!"

The bearded man said, "Then I'll call you Helfas."

Meaning, dark-haired people.

Bearded people and black-haired people, people in this era are named in this way, simple and clear, according to each person's most distinctive features.

The name is just a name and characteristic used for addressing, without so many meanings later.

The bearded man took out a pair of rattan shoes from his basket, and handed them to the black-haired man Helfas who just had a title.

"Your shoe is broken and one is missing. You can't walk without a shoe."

He thrust the shoe into Helfas's hand forcefully, looking very generous.

"It's my thanks to you for telling me about the profession of a businessman."

The black-haired young man was a little dazed, because when the bearded man turned around to take the shoes, he saw a strange thing with the help of the moonlight, which was a tail.

"Tail?"

Seeing the black-haired young man sitting on the stone and changing his shoes, the bearded man also noticed this problem, the other party didn't have a tail.

"No tail?"

"Did someone cut off your tail?"

The black-haired young man instinctively felt that it was weird for a person to grow a tail, but the bearded man thought it was a pity that Helfas had no tail.

But the bearded man got a little closer to the black-haired youth, and even judged another thing based on the fact that he didn't have a tail.

"You should have been kicked out by which tribe."

"It doesn't matter, even if you can survive without the tribe, you can stay with the merchant and me for the time being!"

"I'm very experienced in how to survive."

The black-haired man put on new shoes, but he didn't throw away the old one, but put it away.

In the following days, he was no longer a moth chasing the light, but followed the big beard towards another destination, which was a big tribe named Jin.

But this gold does not mean gold, but metal. Copper, iron and various metals are collectively called gold in the mouth of the bearded man.

It is said that that tribe has mastered the technology of smelting and is very famous in the land of the full moon.

on the way.

He also learned the bearded language instead of the way he could speak without opening his mouth.

According to the other party, this kind of words can be used in dozens of large and small tribes in the New Moon Land, even if there are some differences, they are similar.

But away from here, there are differences elsewhere.

Helfas noticed the key: "The land of the full moon?"

The bearded man told him, "It's the name of the place near us."

As for why there is such a name, the bearded man did not elaborate.

A huge pit appeared in the jungle.

Helfas found out by accident and looked around, then walked down cautiously, and found something inside.

It was a big hard lump, it looked black, and it made a loud bang when it was tapped.

"What is this?"

The bearded man was very surprised when he saw this thing: "Longxiang."

Afterwards, the bearded man showed a very happy expression and danced with joy.

He who has been wandering outside all year round does have some insight beyond ordinary dragon people, and these black-haired youths who know nothing about this world can be said to be the best guides.

He told Helfas: "As long as you ignite this, it will emit a strange fragrance. After smelling the fragrance, those ordinary monsters will not dare to approach. It is a very, very precious thing for some small tribes. It is in danger. can save the life of the tribe and all of them when the time comes."

Although the bearded man calls it dragon incense, this thing is actually just a dragon incense produced by a sub-dragon.

The real life-species dragon is an existence so powerful that it is unimaginable, and it is difficult for ordinary people to encounter their traces in a lifetime.

Only then did Helfas know what he brought up: "Dragon dung?"

The bearded man quickly said: "Dragon is a weird kind, it doesn't need to excrete feces."

"It's not so much feces, it's better to say that it produces a special thing that cannot be digested in the body. For us, this is the gift of the dragon."

The black-haired young man thinks, isn't this the meaning of feces?

But Beard knocked off a small piece with a stone and handed it to Helfas to put it away, he said to the large piece of Yalongxiang.

"It's enough for us to keep that one. A small piece can be used many times by one or two people, and this one can be sold."

When the black-haired youth put it away, the bearded man warned.

"Remember, don't use too much."

"Its scent can dispel weirdness but is also harmful to us fragile mortals. After using it a few times, we may die or go crazy ourselves."

"So don't use it lightly until the moment of danger."

Helfas nodded, but he instinctively felt it was dangerous when he heard the bearded man say that he would go to another tribe to sell this thing.

"Such a precious thing, will there be any problems if you sell it?"

Why buy it if you can grab it?

The bearded man nodded, feeling that what Helfas said made sense.

"Well, you should be more vigilant."

"so!"

"When selling it, let's not say that we picked it up by ourselves, but let's say that we are merchants sent on behalf of another tribe, so that they will be afraid."

"This is what we use to save our lives. We use the last piece left. It is specially used to exchange for the weird mask made by the Golden Tribe."

Helfas: "What's that?"

The bearded man said: "In addition to smelting, the Golden Tribe has also mastered a special power. It can imitate a strange face to create a metal mask. Wearing it can make other monsters think that you are also weird. will die."

"If it goes well, we will have two ways to survive in weird situations."

"If we want to survive in this world, we can master as many means as we can to save our lives."

The bearded man said with a smile while teaching Helfas the knowledge to survive in this world.

"This is what you found, except for the weird mask."

"I can also help you change into a new set of clothes by the way, a set of beautiful clothes with patterns, sewn by the girl herself with needles."

"After wearing it, you must be very proud."

There is no money in this era, and the tribes themselves exchange through barter.

Helfas: "It's a waste to wear such nice clothes if you often run outside?"

Beard: "Sometimes it's not in the wild. People always need to rely on others to survive. At that time, we all hope to be able to dress more beautifully."

After storing the things completely, the two of them set off.

There is no road in the forest where a road is forcibly carved out.

The bearded man no longer carries the burden alone, but two people carry a basket and a box on their backs and head towards the distance.

——

The destination has finally arrived.

The bearded man and Helfas stood on the ground, looking at the stone buildings built along the hillside next to the water, and the artificially dug caves.

But what caught the eye was not a bustling and lively tribe, but a mess and ruins. A large number of people were moving things out of here.

Helfas: "This is the big tribe you mentioned?"

The bearded man was also very surprised: "It's my first time here too, so something must have happened!"

Helfas and the bearded man walked there.

Everyone who was busy with various actions stopped immediately and looked at them vigilantly.

The hair of the dragon people here is all yellow, not the yellow of gold, but a little like copper, with a little dark red.

Men, women and children gathered together, some surrounded by animal skins, some held long guns with metal heads.

In addition, Helfas also saw bows and arrows.

The bearded man is right, this tribe has mastered the technology of smelting.

There were also people in the crowd watching Helfas and discussing. Like the bearded man before, his black hair looked so different.

And seeing so many people, the black-haired young man also felt the loneliness in his heart dissipated a little, although the eyes of these people were vigilant and guarded, and they surrounded the two of them one by one.

After a while.

Among the crowd preparing to migrate, a man came up to ask them why they came.

The big beard is still the same rhetoric, he hesitated when he said it, he just expressed that he wanted to find the other party to exchange things.

It seemed as if he was embarrassed to reveal his identity as a businessman.

It just sounds like this, making people feel like he is a beggar begging for food.

Helfas told the other party directly: "He is a businessman who can bring you what you need."

This kind of statement obviously has a different meaning in the ear of the other party.

It's as if the inconspicuous bearded man in front of him is omnipotent. What's more, when he looks at the black-haired young man in front of him, he always feels that the other party has something incompatible with ordinary dragons, which makes people feel different. It's ordinary people.

The other party got serious and asked, "What can you bring?"

Helfas said: "We are here on behalf of the friendship of our own tribe. We have extra dragon incense on hand. I think you should need it."

"We came here to exchange something we need with you."

As soon as these words came out, people from the Golden Tribe immediately saw exclamations, showing ecstatic expressions.

Different from the ecstasy of the bearded man before, as if he had found a treasure and made a fortune, the ecstasy shown by the people in the tribe named Jin is the kind of ecstasy and disbelief, as if they have found a life-saving straw.

Helfas didn't find it strange either. For them who were preparing to migrate, the incense stick was indeed what they needed most at the moment.

But it wasn't just this that shocked the questioner.

But this very ordinary-looking, bearded man who called himself a businessman and this black-haired young man were indeed able to give them what they needed.

It's as if it was predicted in advance.

The man stepped forward, grabbed the bearded man's shoulder, and asked excitedly.

"Is there really Longxiang?"

The bearded man nodded, and immediately saw cheers erupted from the crowd.

"We're saved."

"You don't need to die."

"It was delivered at this time, at this time."

"This is the shelter of the earth."

People were excitedly messaging each other, and everyone was incredibly excited.

The bearded man finally asked his own question: "What happened to you and why did you migrate?"

The other party said very briefly, but also very seriously: "There is a disaster."

The bearded man and Helfas glanced at each other. For the dragon people, the meaning of a disaster is mostly a strange encounter.

The other party seems to have believed that Beard and Helfas really have the fragrance of a dragon, which seems a bit naive to the black-haired young man, perhaps because lies are not so common in this era!

The other party arranged for everyone in the tribe to stop and wait, while he led the two of them inside.

"Come with me to meet someone!"

The three left the crowd together, and everyone looked at them expectantly.

——

In the stone house built of large stones, there are two rows of people sitting on the left and right, and one person sitting on the top.

The room only had a small skylight overhead and looked very dark.

After Helfas came in, he looked at everyone inside. Although all of them were wearing thin metal masks, it could be seen that they were basically women.

Whether it's clothing, masks or the stone houses they live in, it all means that these masked women have a high status in the Golden Tribe.

It's just that Helfas doesn't understand why all the people in the tribe are migrating, but all these seemingly high-status people stay.

just like.

It's like being abandoned.

Sitting at the top was the leader of the tribe, a very old woman with the most delicate and terrifying mask on her head.

The bearded man felt dizzy after staring straight at it for a long time, and felt like he wanted to gag.

The bearded man whispered to Helfas, "That's the weird mask."

Helfas also guessed, but did not say.

He watched the man who brought them in walk up to the old woman, said something to her respectfully, and then pointed at the bearded man and Helfas.

The old woman's eyes lit up and she nodded.

After a while, she said, "I heard that you brought Longxiang, I don't know what you want to exchange."

The bearded man immediately said: "We are merchants who travel among other tribes for our own tribe, and want to exchange two weird masks."

Helfas also added: "Although this is the first time for us to come, it will not be the last. If this time goes well, we will bring more things you need to your tribe in the future."

The old woman communicated with the other masked women on the left and right sides, and then spoke to the bearded man.

"If you had come before, we might have agreed to this exchange."

"But you are a bit late now. We cannot agree to your exchange. Please change your request."

The bearded man didn't understand: "Why?"

The old woman pointed to the mask on her face: "Because what this mask brings is no longer protection, but disaster and death."

The doubts of the bearded man and Helfas did not last long, and the old woman told them the truth.

"Like the Longxiang you brought, the weird mask is also created by a weird power."

Next, the old woman hesitated.

But finally said with a sigh.

"So far, there's nothing we can't say."

"Every monster in this world has its own characteristics and habits. If you can thoroughly understand the characteristics and habits of a monster, you can even use some of its weaknesses to restrain it and use its power."

"And the mask of our tribe, even our previous smelting technology, was achieved by using the power of a strange existence of a double-phase monster."

It was only then that Helfas knew that the people in this world were not only trembling under the strange force.

in this world.

There are also some tribes who use weird power to survive by mastering weird rules, and even use weird power to develop their own technology.

He was a little amazed, not at the audacity of the Golden Tribe, but at the wisdom of the people.

No matter how weak people are, they can always do some miracles and seemingly impossible things.

It was also at this time that the black-haired young man suddenly noticed the patterns on the masks worn by the old woman and other women in the stone house. The patterns on the masks looked familiar. It's like seeing it before.

"Big beard."

Helfas suddenly asked the bearded man on the side, and he didn't dare to say it with complete confirmation.

"Look, doesn't the mask look like the weird one we saw before?"

Before the bearded man could answer, the women in the stone house made voices one after another, and the voices were full of panic and fear.

"Have you seen it?"

"where?"

"What time is it?"

Helfas and Beard didn't hide anything, talking about the weird "tree" they met when they met for the first time.

As soon as the words fell, the people wearing masks became even more frightened, and their bodies were trembling.

"Double-phase devil insect."

"It's the biphasic monster."

"It has come."

It has the form of a worm as well as a form of a tree, and this is where its name comes from.

The old woman sighed: "It seems that it is coming again, and the disaster is coming again."

Helfas asked back, "You mean it's coming here?"

The old woman nodded: "The last time it got out of control, half of our tribe died, and we used all the means we had accumulated to drive it out."

"However, we know that it has not given up. Sooner or later, it will come back and eat us all."

Helfas: "Why is it so obsessed with you, for weirdness, there is no difference between people!"

The old woman: "But a large part of our tribe is contaminated with its breath, especially those of us."

"That's why we let other people migrate away, and those of us chose to stay and wait for the arrival of the biphasic devil worm."

"However, whether the person who leaves can escape depends on luck."

Having said that, the old woman's words froze for a while.

"There is another possibility."

"Maybe it hates us and is looking for us to take revenge!"

"After all, we have used it and trapped it for many years. Although all of this is for survival, Weird won't tell people about these things!"

The atmosphere was a bit sad, but the beard broke the atmosphere.

"However, we brought Longxiang."

"Don't care who is right and who is wrong, revenge or not, we are all just trying to survive in this world."

"No matter what, we have to work hard to live."

Helfas put down the basket he was carrying behind him, Big Beard helped him take it off, and then the two of them took out something from the basket and put it on the ground.

In an instant, the old woman staggered down from the top, and the man beside her immediately supported her.

And the other masked women were even more excited, and immediately lay down in front of Long Xiang.

"It's really Longxiang."

"This is Long Xiang, it's the first time I've seen it."

"Such a big piece, so complete."

"In this case, our tribe will be saved, and we won't have to die."

Helfas asked, "Can you help me?"

The bearded man laughed: "Longxiang is a very precious treasure."

As soon as the words fell, the old woman gathered everyone together and saluted Helfas and the bearded man to express his sincere thanks.

"Of course it can help."

"Not only that, you two can even be said to have saved our tribe and our lives."

"When the dragon incense is lit, it can not only drive away the double-phase devil insects that may come at any time, but also cover us with a small breath of dragon."

"That aura will counteract the aura of the biphasic insects on us, thus solving hidden dangers."

Afterwards, the old woman and the masked woman led the two of them towards the outside, and the crowd outside were also waiting for the final result.

The old woman stood in front of the stone house on the hillside and greeted everyone's eyes.

"We don't have to leave for the time being, because the merchant brought the dragon incense and brought something to save our tribe."

"Thank them!"

"The two most distinguished guests have brought new hope to our tribe."

In an instant, thunderous cheers erupted from the crowd.

The soldiers kept leaning on the ground with their spears in their hands, making a neat rhythm, some even burst into tears, and others let out a long howl like wild beasts.

People hugged each other and danced. No one wanted to leave their hometown and go to the dangerous and unknown depths of the wilderness.

The eyes of people looking at Helfas and the bearded man are no longer full of guard and suspicion, but full of gratitude.

"Thanks."

"thank you."

"The merchant is really amazing, bringing what we need most when we need it most."

Perhaps in their view, this existence called a merchant is not an ordinary profession, but more like an envoy of fate.

The old woman pushed the two to the front, accepting people's cheers and thanks.

And the old woman also hopes to stabilize the hearts of the tribe through this.

Among the gazes of the crowd, the bearded man had the strongest feeling and experience, and he even burst into tears like those from the Golden Tribe.

Because in the past, every time he went to a tribe, he was very humble, took out his own things, and begged the other party to exchange some food for him, and begged the other party to exchange some items he wanted.

He always came alone quietly, and then left without being noticed or driven away.

But this time it was different, and he received a strong welcome.

Standing in front of people, he said loudly and proudly.

"Yes, I am a businessman."

"I brought what everyone needed."

At this moment, he finally recognized his career as a businessman.

Finally, I can proudly say that I am a businessman.

The bearded man looked at Helfas, who suddenly felt that the black-haired man with amnesia he met on the road might be the greatest luck in his life.

The first era is a story from the perspective of the creator, the second era is a story from the perspective of gods, and the third era is probably a story from the perspective of a mortal, but it is probably written in the same way as the previous short story, from the perspective of an ordinary small character Open up the world view, witness everything that is happening now, and at the same time lead to the people and things in the past, and then describe the perspective and story of the Creator and the Supreme God at key and important moments, unfolding from two perspectives.

Each volume is basically equivalent to a new book, so let me explain this as an introduction, so that everyone can know at a glance whether it is what they want to read next.
