Sword and Magic and Taxi
Chapter 33: The lingua franca is almost done
In this way, Zhao Mai has a "hukou" in Neibo Town and has become a character with a "head and face". However, he still lives "low-key" in a room in the Fireplace Tavern for the time being, and does not intend to rent or buy a house in the town.
Calculating the daily expenses, if you don't make any money at all, the seventy gold coins will be spent in a month, and Zhao Mai will become abject poverty, which makes him feel a little incredible. The farmers in Nebo Town can't make so much money after a busy year. Why do they spend so fast?
Calm down and think carefully, list all the expenses for comparison, and then he understands the mystery. Excluding houses, servants and food, Zhao Mai only needs two or three gold coins a month. Coupled with the fact that many farmers spin their own clothes, they will need less currency. Under the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy system, land is the largest capital.
With land, you can grow food to feed yourself, and you can build houses on it to protect you from wind and rain. You can raise your own meat if you eat meat, knit your own clothes, and even worry about the goddess of life Falesma when you are born, old, sick, and die. Although there are still lords ruling above, some laws are strict, and some are still changing, but the people who own the land are indeed living for themselves. It has always been Zhao Mai's dream to own his own land and build his own home. It is no wonder that he wants to try to get a piece of land here.
"If you are alone, this is basically impossible." Green said: "There are no owners of land far from the town. Although they are owned by the lords in name, they are not planted or taxed. There is no income, so they don't care about it. As long as you can open up a piece of land and pay the tax, no one will disturb your land."
"Why do so few people do it?"
"It's too dangerous." Green moved a chair and sat down at the table, motioned Zhao Mai to sit down too, and the two had a good talk. "The beast is the first difficulty, but an experienced farmer can deal with it. The more annoying are goblins, kobolds, etc., they move in groups, and many villages are destroyed by them before they can scale. When encountering orcs or jackals, they have a good military organization, and ordinary adventurers will be defeated. At this time, they can only rely on the lord’s army. Most of the time they can only be driven away, and the encirclement and annihilation are individual cases. You You know, the lords also need to control their battle damage."
"Why don't you stop the orcs with regular military patrols?"
"Because there are more dangerous existences. Magic beasts, strange monsters, undead and dragons, these are not afraid of the army. In these situations, the power of adventurers is more trustworthy. Of course, they can only deal with those that appear alone. One or two. The top power is still a few professional unions, plus a temple. Nebo Town is connected to the Druid community, otherwise how could it have grown to such a scale?"
No matter what civilization has its unique ability to survive, Zhao Mai gradually realized this. He spent more than a week without doing anything, just dragging Green to chat, strengthening his lingua franca. If not, how can he understand such a complicated introduction?
"You should have paid me more. Hiring a professional language instructor is more expensive than a servant. I have said too much these days and I have become fat." Green picked up the ale again and gulped down.
"That won't work, let's change to drinking water?" Zhao Mai said jokingly.
Green laughed, and stopped complaining. These ale are all bought by Hua Zhaomai for real money. As long as you don't get drunk, you can just enjoy it. He himself is a person who likes to drink, he can't ask for this way. Moreover, there are always people who can chat while drinking, no matter what kind of topic, as long as the common language is spoken slowly and the vocabulary is as common as possible.
This is simply the most comfortable job. Why is Green dissatisfied?
Zhao Mai is also very satisfied. Through Green's description, he connected the things that were originally on paper with the living world, and gradually formed a flesh and blood image.
The price of flesh and blood is no money. "Green, is there any way to sell some goods safely and without being traced?"
Green's drinking action paused obviously, put down the cup and licked his lips, and then said: "If it is the first day of meeting, I would suggest you to go to the wooden pile grocery store. They have channels to contact the thieves' union in the south, maybe It can satisfy your wishes. But for now, I will advise you not to do this."
"Because you think I am a good person?"
"Bah, I think you are too weak." Green shook his head: "Don't look at you with weapons and armor, but if you really count it, your combat effectiveness is very worrying. Most apprentices can defeat you. Your only advantage is Smarter than them, you may be better at playing on the spot, but this is not stable. With some cautious opponents, your smarts will be useless."
"You are right, I admit that I am not good in fighting. But how do you see that I am smart?"
is of course from the speed of language learning and terrible knowledge. Green wouldn’t say it, and skipped the topic: “For the sake of safety, you might not tell me what you want to sell until you get to the stake grocery store. I didn’t mind this format originally, anyway, I always I can get a commission. But now I am worried that you will come up with something extraordinary and be targeted by the Thieves Guild, then you are basically dead."
"Thank you for your concern. Any suggestions?"
"It's better to use the channel of the guild and use the contract in Nebo Town to protect yourself. I can help you contact the merchant, write confidential information into the contract, and hand it over to the guild for safekeeping. The cost may be higher, but the security is more Contact with Thieves’ Guild is much higher. I think this is what you care more about."
"Let me think about it." Zhao Mai nodded.
He is not a hairy boy, so naturally he will not just listen to one side. He felt that his lingua franca was able to cope with most situations, so he was ready to take a trip to the guild. Before signing a contract with Green, he was in the guild, so he knew where the guild was, and he also knew that there was someone who specifically explained the guild procedures. The explanation cost of the two gold coins is a lot of money for ordinary people, but Zhao Mai thinks the cost is very worthwhile.
Now he can probably understand what the people around him are talking about. UU reading www.uukanshu.com can also greet people with the local formal etiquette, so as not to make a fool of yourself. He can even tell which ones are real beggars and which ones are spies from the Southern Thieves Union. Green once complained that the thieves' union from Nidalee in the south was trying to reach out to the north. The Shadow Council (Nidal's ruling body) is not very powerful, but it spares no effort to support the expansion of domestic organizations, not knowing what it is.
Whether it is a real beggar or a fake beggar, Zhao Mai put a copper plate in their small basin. He has distinguished the money anyway, and none of it is a gold coin of fate. In the healthy jungle, coins are rare, and destiny gold coins are useless. But when you come to a commercial town, in order to be able to find other gold coins of fate, you naturally have to bring the previous one.
asked a craftsman to create a pendant, set gold coins into it, and then wear it next to her body. Zhao Mai hopes that it will be able to sense other gold coins as soon as possible, so that it can travel between the two worlds to grasp greater freedom.
"Boy, can you come over and have a talk?" Walking down the street, Zhao Mai heard Chinese unexpectedly.
turned his head and looked, but found no one talking to him. He looked at the food reserves and found that the puppy was staring straight at a black cat beside the road, snoring in his throat, showing some alertness.
"Tianyutong, remember?" The cat beckoned, acting like a beckoning cat commonly found in shops. Then it turned around and got into a storefront from under the crack of the door.
looked up at the signboard, which sells various vegetables and flowers. Could it be that the druid opened the shop? Zhao Mai scratched his head, picked up the grain reserves and walked in.
