Chapter 5: The First Businessman(2/4)
Helfas noticed the key: "The land of the full moon?"
The bearded man told him: "That's the name of the place near us."
As for why there is such a name, Big Beard did not elaborate.
A huge pit appeared in the jungle.
After accidentally discovering it, Helfas looked around, then walked down cautiously, and found something inside.
It was a big, hard lump that looked black and made a loud banging sound when knocked.
"What is this?"
The bearded man was extremely surprised when he saw something like this: "Long Xiang."
Then, the bearded man showed a happy expression and danced with joy.
He who has been wandering outside all year round does have some insights beyond ordinary dragon people, and these black-haired young people who know nothing about this world can be said to be the best guide.
He told Helfas: "As long as you light this, it will emit a strange fragrance. After smelling the fragrance, those ordinary strange people will not dare to approach. It is a very, very precious thing for some small tribes, and they are in danger."
When the time comes, we can save the lives of the tribe and everyone.”
Although Bearded calls it dragon incense, this thing is actually just dragon incense produced by a dragon.
The real life-species dragon is an existence that is so powerful that it is unimaginable that ordinary people will hardly encounter any trace of them in their lifetime.
Only then did Helfas know what he had brought up: "Dragon excrement?"
The bearded man said quickly: "Dragon is a weird kind, it doesn't need to secrete feces."
"It is not so much excrement as it is a special product that cannot be digested by the body. For us, this is the gift of the dragon."
The black-haired young man thought, doesn’t this mean feces?
However, the bearded man knocked off a small piece with a stone and handed it to Helfas to put it away. He said to the large piece of aron incense.
"It's enough for us to keep that one. One or two people can use a small piece many times, and this one can be sold."
When the black-haired young man put it away, the bearded man warned.
"Remember, don't overuse it."
"Its fragrance can dispel weirdness, but it is also harmful to us fragile mortals. We may die or go crazy after using it a few times."
"So don't use it lightly until there is a dangerous moment."
Helfas nodded, but after hearing the bearded man saying that he was going to another tribe to sell this thing, he instinctively felt it was dangerous.
"Will there be any problems if we sell such a precious thing?"
Why buy it if you can grab it?
The bearded man nodded, feeling that what Helfas said made sense.
"Well, you should indeed be more vigilant."
"so!"
"When we sell it, don't say we picked it up ourselves. Let's say we are businessmen sent on behalf of another tribe, so that they will be wary."
"This is the last piece we have left to save our lives. It is specially used to exchange for the weird masks made by the Golden Tribe."
Helfas: "What is that?"
Big Beard said: "In addition to smelting, it is said that the Golden Tribe also mastered a special power. It can imitate a weird face to create a metal mask. Wearing it can make other weirdos think you are also weird, so you will not
Will die."
"If everything goes well, we will have two ways to survive in strange situations."
"If we want to survive in this world, we need to master as many methods as possible to save our lives."
The bearded man said with a smile while imparting knowledge to Helfas on how 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, a set of good clothes with patterns, sewn by the girl with her own needles."
"You will look very cool when you put it on."
There was no money in this era, and tribes themselves exchanged goods through barter.
Herfas: "You often run outside, so wearing such good clothes is a waste, right?"
Big Beard: "There are always times when we are not in the wild. People always need to rely on others to survive. At that time, we all hope to dress more beautifully."
After putting everything away completely, the two of them set off.
There is no way in the forest where a road is forcibly carved out.
The bearded man no longer carried the burden alone, but two people carried the basket and the box respectively and headed into the distance.
——
The destination has finally arrived.
Big Beard and Helfas stood on the ground, looking at the stone buildings built along the hillside next to the water, as well as the artificially dug caves.
But what came into view was not a bustling and lively tribe, but a mess and ruins, with a large number of people moving things out and leaving the place.
Helfas: "Is this the big tribe you mentioned?"
The bearded man was also surprised: "It's my first time here too, something must have happened!"
Helfas and Big Beard walked towards there.
Everyone who was busy with various actions immediately stopped and looked at them warily.
The hair of the dragons here is all yellow, not the yellow color of gold, but a color slightly like copper, with a little dark red.
Men, women, old and young gathered together. Some were surrounded by animal skins, and some were holding spears with metal heads.
In addition, Helfas also saw bows and arrows.
Big Beard is right, this tribe has mastered the technology of smelting.
Some people in the crowd were looking at Helfas and talking about it. Like the bearded man before, his black hair looked so different.
Seeing so many people, the black-haired young man also felt that the loneliness in his heart had dissipated a little, although the eyes of these people were wary and guarded, and they surrounded the two of them one by one.
After a while.
Among the people preparing to migrate, a man came up to ask them what their purpose was.
Big Beard still used the same rhetoric, hesitating and hesitant, just expressing that he wanted to exchange things with the other party.
As if he was embarrassed to reveal his identity as a businessman.
It's just that this sounds like a beggar.
Helfas told the other party directly: "He is a businessman and can bring you what you need."
This statement obviously has a different meaning in the other party's ears.
It was as if the inconspicuous bearded man in front of him was omnipotent. More importantly, when he looked at the black-haired young man in front of him, he always felt that there was something in him that was incompatible with ordinary dragons.
They are ordinary people.
The other party became more 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 in our hands. I think you should need it."
"We are here to exchange some things we need with you."
As soon as these words came out, people from the Golden Tribe immediately exclaimed and showed expressions of ecstasy.
Different from the ecstasy of the bearded man before, as if he had found a treasure and made a fortune, the ecstasy expressed by the people in the tribe named Jin was the kind of ecstasy that came from a desperate situation and disbelief, as if they had found a life-saving straw.
Helfas didn't find it strange. For them who were preparing to migrate, dragon incense was indeed the thing they needed most at the moment.
But the person who asked the question was not only shocked by this.
But this very ordinary-looking bearded man who calls himself a businessman and this black-haired young man can indeed give them what they need.
It was as if it had been predicted in advance.
The man stepped forward, grabbed the bearded man's shoulders, and asked excitedly.
"Is there really dragon fragrance?"
The bearded man nodded and immediately saw cheers erupting from the crowd.
"We are saved."
"No need to die, everyone."
"It was actually delivered at this time, at this time."
"This is the protection of the earth."
People excitedly passed messages to each other, and everyone was extremely excited.
The bearded man finally asked his question: "What happened to you and why did you migrate?"
