Chapter 236 Transaction
As expected.
The next second, the young hunter's footsteps stopped suddenly, then turned around, his eyes widened:
"A large amount of ice marrow rewards, and becoming the seat of the Zhenbing Tribe. Guest of honor? "
Whether it is the former or the latter, it is enough to make people swallow hard and be moved by it.
Ice marrow is the most recognized "currency" in the North. With a large amount of ice marrow, there is basically nothing that cannot be bought.
The Zhenbing Tribe is the first of the three large tribes in the north. Being a guest of the Zhenbing Tribe is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step.
"Yes." The Snover guard nodded.
“Are there any restrictions on participating in the challenge?”
“No, anyone can participate, regardless of gender, age and race, as long as they are willing, they can challenge.”
"No need to pay anything?" The young hunter couldn't help but ask.
“No need,” the elder Snover guard saw what the young hunter was thinking, “That’s the Zhenbing Tribe, what else can they plot against you?”
“You If you think you have the ability, or are not sure whether you have the ability, we will now set up a test point in the center of the camp and take out the only piece of Zhenbing we have for you to test."
" Although it is just a small piece of perfect ice, it is definitely not as good as the perfect ice sword, but it is just for you to test your own skills. After all, if you can't even pick up your own perfect ice, let alone pull it out of the ice. If you have the sword, you don’t have to walk in vain.”
After hearing this, the young hunter’s breathing became heavier.
He didn't ask any more questions, just nodded heavily, and then entered the Snover camp with the snow dog.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should go straight to the testing point set up by the Snover clan.
Not to mention him, even Gothe was moved when he heard these words.
Lots of ice marrow rewards.
Although the specific quantity was not stated, considering the status of the Zhenbing Tribe, a "large amount" was used, and it would definitely not be much less.
But it's just a heartbeat, and I won't actually take action.
Firstly, Gothe knew very well that the Ice Weapon has always been the exclusive weapon of Ice people. If someone can really pull out the Ice sword, it must be of Ice people blood, not a foreigner like him.
Although he has [Adaptive], it is possible that he can adapt to the coldness of Zhenbing weapons.
But according to what Chief Shimo said, Gaode can be sure that with his currently improved 100.1% cold resistance and primary ice protection body, he is still far from being able to withstand the cold of the Zhenbing weapon.
That is a special thing that is formed in the extremely low temperature environment of Baidu below zero.
At least you have to upgrade to the intermediate Bingyou body before you can challenge Zhenbing.
And he is still far away from this realm.
Because since the evolution of the primary Ice Blessing Body, the improvement of Gaode's cold resistance has completely come to a standstill.
The reason is also very simple. The environment in the north no longer causes any stimulation to his body and there is no need to adapt.
The second thing is that for Gaode, the most important thing at the moment is to plant trees.
His current location is still far away from the Zhenbing Tribe.
It’s okay if you drop by to see the excitement, but it’s impossible to spend a lot of time rushing to the Zhenbing Tribe just to join in the fun.
Gao De can still distinguish what is light and what is serious.
While thinking about it in his mind, the queue, which was not long, finally came to his turn.
The two Snover guards guarding the door frowned slightly and glanced at Gothe.
Gaode's identity and temperament as a foreigner are indeed too conspicuous.
The natives in the north have always disliked outsiders, so it’s no wonder they have such expressions.
But whether you like it or not, the two guards did not embarrass Gao De.
They simply asked Gaode two questions, including the origin and purpose.
Although Gothe can understand their words, the two guards are not Iceborn, have not mastered the ability to understand the language, and cannot understand his common language.
In the end, Gothe reluctantly answered the two guards' questions through gestures, and they were let in with a somewhat impatient attitude.
"If you want to come to our north to make a fortune, but don't learn the Ace language, you are an arrogant foreigner." When entering the Snover tribe camp, Gothe heard the mutterings of other people in the team behind him.
Although he was complaining about him, Gao De's heart was moved.
It seems that it is indeed necessary to learn Ace Language... After all, [Language Proficiency] can only make him understand Ace Language, but not make him speak it.
With such a language barrier, it is really inconvenient to do many things in the north.
Moreover, it can be expected that after planting Yuga Tshila, the North is almost equivalent to his "home" for him, and he will definitely spend a lot of time living in the North.
It is even more necessary to master the Ace language.
What's more, for Gaode, learning and mastering a language is actually not that difficult.
First of all, his memory is extremely outstanding.
In addition, with the aid of [Language Proficiency], when you can fully understand Ace Language, the difficulty of learning Ace Language has undoubtedly dropped by several levels.
Finally, the people I come into contact with now are all northerners who speak Ace language. In this environment, it is easier to master Ace language.
Just like in the previous life, some people did not understand English at home, but they quickly learned it after being placed abroad for a period of time.
While thinking, Gothe kept walking and officially walked into the Snover camp.
There are wide walkways between the densely packed tents in the camp to facilitate people's travel. It seems that it was specially planned when the camp was set up.
Gaode noticed that thick animal skin curtains were hung at the entrances of many tents to prevent the cold wind from intruding.
Around the tent, there are some daily necessities piled up.
Small tents are the residences of the Snover people.
But there are also some larger tents with some patterns painted on the animal skin curtains hanging at the entrance. Those are the "shops" set up by the Snover clan themselves.
Gaode kept watching while walking.
The valuable things on him, excluding two drops of first-order ice marrow, are some magic plants brought from Dandong Xuefeng, nine first-order ice soul stones, and two one-ring ice and snow wolf furs .
Although Baruch followed him and killed the ice wolf, he was too focused on "collecting the head" and did not care about preserving the integrity of the fur.
Second, he did not have the skill or time to cut it off. A complete piece of fur.
Thirdly, the weight capacity is already close to the limit, and some food needs to be stored. It is definitely impossible to add anything more.
So he didn't get any extra ice wolf pelts.
This is actually the reason why the prices of many leyline biological materials remain high.
It is one thing that hunting leyline creatures is not easy. The difficulty of collecting materials and transporting them back to the city is also an important factor in the high price.
Gaode walked on the main road of the camp and did not enter any of the shops of the Snover clan. Instead, he walked all the way to the end and came to the shop specially opened by the Snover clan for people to set up stalls. corner.
This is the busiest place in the entire camp.
Not only the Snover tribe will set up stalls here, but also many people from other tribes can also find an empty place to set up stalls here without paying any fees.
These stalls are very simple. You just need to find an open space, spread a piece of animal skin, and lay out the supplies you want to sell.
And these stalls are extremely primitive forms of barter transactions.
The stall owner puts out his own items. If you like them, go up and ask him what he needs. If you have any, you can exchange them.
In other words, take the initiative to exchange your own things with the other party. If the other party is willing to exchange, the transaction can also be successful. There is no doubt that this trading method is very primitive and extremely inefficient, but it is suitable for the north.
This place does not have a unified political power, it is a primitive tribal system, and the basic conditions for the formation and circulation of currency do not exist.
Gaode glanced over and saw that the items on these stalls were also all kinds of strange, most of which were specialties from the north.
For example, some magic plants that grow in the snowfield, some special ores, or materials for creatures in the snowfield's veins, mostly fur and bones, as well as specialties produced by various tribes.
Gothe walked around the stall, and just as Baruch said, he quickly saw the auxiliary materials needed for the [Wild Astute] magic potion.
That was the stall of a young woman, presumably from the Snover tribe.
Based on my experience when I first queued up, 99% of the people from foreign races are mainly men.
In a primitive environment like the snowfield, men's strength and physical strength make them more suitable for going out.
Of course, if you have ice blood, there will be no such gender distinction.
It’s just that ordinary ice-born mages rarely set up stalls in places like this.
Furthermore, people from other tribes generally do not bring "worthless" things like magic plants.
Gothe squatted down and picked out two zero-order magic plants from the items displayed by the young woman: Ice Tooth Grass and Frost Face Flower.
Outside the northern border, the market price of two level 0 magic plants is about 6 gold.
But in the north, the value of magic plants is definitely much lower.
And the two magic plants were most likely picked by the young woman who happened to find them when she was out grazing.
For her, these two zero-level magic plants can be said to have no practical value, that is, they are just put out to try their luck.
So, seeing Gaode picking out these two magic plants, the young woman's face was visibly happy.
"Do you need these two herbs?" she asked.
Gothe nodded, then swayed his hands across each other, and asked in common language: "What do you want to exchange?"
The young woman naturally did not understand what Gothe said. But he instantly understood what Gothe didn't understand in Ace's language, and guessed Gothe's question based on Gothe's gestures and the current situation.
"Food or something to keep warm is fine!" she said.
For the people in the north, food, fuel, and warm equipment are their eternal needs.
After hearing this, Gothe thought for a moment, then took out a piece of ice wolf meat weighing about three pounds from his bag and handed it to the woman.
This is what he cut off from the ice wolf he killed and kept as food. The leftovers were not eaten yet.
The woman took the piece of ice wolf meat and looked at it carefully. After realizing that the meat was of high quality, she immediately nodded with satisfaction.
A simple transaction completed.
A piece of wolf meat was easily exchanged for two zero-level magic plants.
This is something that is hard to imagine outside the North.
It can be seen how precious food is to the people in the north above the snowfield.
After the transaction was completed, Gaode did not leave immediately.
He took out another complete ice wolf skin from the package, and at the same time made the gestures just exchanged again, and said: "Learn the Ace language."
This sentence is high De was said in Ace language, the syllables he had secretly memorized when he heard the people behind him muttering.
The young woman was very smart and reacted immediately: "You mean to use this wolf skin in exchange for me teaching you Ace language?"
Gothe nodded.
The young woman did not agree immediately, but first pointed to the fur in Gothe's hand: "Can I see it?"
Gothe directly took the ice and snow piece The wolf skin was handed to her.
The young woman took the wolf skin, stroked it gently with her hand, and looked through it carefully. Then her eyes lit up and she asked in surprise: "Is this a ring of ice wolf fur?"
Gaode nodded slightly.
The higher the level of a creature like a snow wolf, the stronger its fur is against cold.
So the fur of the Yihuan Ice Wolf is still very valuable.
Obviously, the other party is already interested.
However, after she thought carefully for a moment, she said softly: "I can teach you Ace language, but I can't guarantee that I will teach you. It has to be set for a certain period of time.
"I can teach you for two months, whether you learn it or not. Once the two months are up, the deal will be over. And I am only free after dark every day, but I can guarantee that I will teach you at least two hours a day."< br>
“Besides, if it exceeds two months, we may have to migrate again, so two months is already a limit.”
“Do you think it’s okay?”
Gothe thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Two months is too long for him.
According to Gaode's estimation, it should take about a week to learn, and his Ace language level will be enough to support him in the most basic daily communication.
If you are proficient in using the rest, you don’t need to spend extra time and energy on learning. You will naturally become familiar with it in ordinary communication.
Seeing Gothe agree, the young woman seemed even happier.
"My name is Lana, and I live in that tent," she pointed to a small tent not far away and introduced Gothe: "You can come to me tonight."
Gothe nodded and did not ask for the wolf skin back.
If the monk can run away, he cannot run away from the temple. They all know the other party's "address", so there is no need to worry about her running away.
In fact, the reason why Gothe came to find her was not only because he liked Lana's quick reactions, and it was always better to be a smarter teacher, but also because he saw that she was from the Snover tribe and had a long face. Live here.
And as a young woman setting up a stall, there is a high probability that the adult man in the family is away or something happened.
Among the northern tribes, men are the most important labor force in a family.
Families without adult men are bound to live in greater embarrassment. In this case, the willingness to accept transactions is naturally higher.
Just as he thought, the deal was concluded smoothly.
Gothe then found two other auxiliary materials needed for the [Wild Astute] spell potion at other stalls.
However, the remaining two auxiliary materials are zero-ring leyline biological materials, so naturally they cannot be purchased at cabbage prices like magic plants.
Finally, Gothe made a big circle. First, he used a first-level ice soul stone and went to a hunter to get a complete skinned frozen white fox.
Then the white fox was divided into two, and then the remaining two auxiliary materials were obtained from the two stall owners.
Now, the only ingredient left for the [Wild Alert] magic potion is the last main ingredient: one-half ounce of blue butterfly crystal powder.
As a first-order material, the probability of appearing in these small stalls is indeed low.
However, there is still a chance to find it in the "store" opened by the Snover clan.
The map that Gaode needs most can only be seen in the "shop".
