Although the blind girl couldn't hear clearly what Nigris was saying, but he didn't respond to her immediately, she knew it wasn't the case, so she shrank back into the pit in disappointment.
Ange walked over non-stop, his thoughts sweeping around, including the girl. After sweeping over, Ange suddenly stopped and tilted his head in the direction of the girl.
Nigris asked: "What's wrong?"
"It's not a human being." After Ange finished speaking, he continued to look for it, but Nigris stopped and curiously walked to the edge of the pit to see why it was "not a human being".
The pit is very simple, with some debris neatly stacked on the left side, and the right side should be the work area, with a basin of water and some fantasy rock debris.
The girl was sitting on the edge of the basin, holding a wooden stick, soaking it with water and some phantom rock fragments, repeatedly rubbing the phantom rock in her hand. There were some ropes at her feet. Look at the sticks stuck to it.
The phantom rock debris is obviously used to rub the phantom rock using the same principle.
"It turned out to be the bow and jade technique. I asked why she could carve fantasy rocks, but I didn't expect the bow and jade technique." Nigris suddenly realized.
Anthony also came over, looked at the things in the girl's hands, and asked curiously: "What is the art of bow and jade?" This kind of vocabulary is too technical, and Anthony doesn't understand it well.
The girl was originally a little scared because of their approach, but after hearing Nigris' voice, she relaxed and turned around and asked: "Are you here to collect the fantasy rock?"
This is an abyssal plane of little value. The only thing of value is these phantom rocks. What remains here is the industrial chain established around the phantom rocks. For example, this girl is a sculptor who specializes in sculpting phantom rocks.
In addition to practitioners in the magic rock industry chain, the only people who come here are those businessmen who collect magic rocks. There have been businessmen who came to watch her work before, so the girl naturally thought that Negris and others were also businessmen.
Anthony said kindly: "Okay, hello, what are you doing? It's very beautiful. Are you making it to sell? How much does one cost?"
"Is it beautiful?" The girl showed a very happy smile, with a kind of pride in being recognized. She held the Huanyan statue in her palm and showed it: "One gold coin, okay? It will take me a month to carve one."
Anthony was stunned for a moment, feeling something was wrong, and said, "Wait a minute."
Then he contacted Yincoin and asked: "Do you know about Huanyan? How much does a Huanyan statue usually cost? It's about ten centimeters high, how much? It starts at fifty magic crystals? Okay, I got it."
After asking for the information he wanted, Anthony turned back and asked kindly: "Have you eaten? Are you hungry?"
"No..." The girl swallowed subconsciously. Just when she was about to say that she wasn't hungry, her stomach betrayed her and made a "gu——" sound.
Anthony laughed heartily, enthusiastically pulled out some dried meat and cakes, stuffed them into the girl's hands, and asked at the same time: "I only earn one gold coin every month, can I usually have enough to eat?"
The girl was a little hurriedly holding the food that Anthony put in her hand, and shook her head shyly: "Eat less, I will never die of hunger anyway, thank you, but I can't have these things, they are too fragrant, and I know they are expensive as soon as I smell them."
"Eat, I want to ask you something when you are full. Eat first and chat while you eat. If you are hungry, I will be embarrassed to ask you questions." Anthony pretended to be displeased. A simple girl is not Anthony's.
The opponent, after a few moral kidnappings, she obediently nibbled on the dried meat.
Nigris took the opportunity to ask in a low voice: "One gold coin a month is a lot, right? Many farmers can't earn a gold coin a year, so why don't they have enough to eat?"
Anthony whispered: "There is no food produced here. The food is shipped from outside. The price must be very high. If the magic rock products are very cheap, forget it. Silver Coin said that the starting price of this thing is fifty magic crystals, which is at least five hundred gold coins.
Making so much money and deliberately not letting people have enough to eat, these damn profiteers."
This is the difference between experience and empty theory. Anthony knew it was wrong as soon as he heard it, but Nigris would only use face value to measure it.
"Yes, it doesn't produce food, so food should be very expensive, but what does it mean to deliberately not feed people? On purpose?" Negris asked in confusion.
"If you make ten months' worth of money a month, will you still keep working? Under what circumstances will you work hard?"
"Is the money just enough for you? If you don't work next month, you won't have food to eat. It's better to have a loan. When you have to pay back the money every day when you open your eyes, the motivation to work is the strongest? They deliberately lowered the purchase price.
, so she has to work very hard not to starve to death." Anthony said.
Nigris' eyes widened in disbelief: "Are you so black-hearted? A profiteer!"
Far away in Leo's Court, Silver Coin, who was too busy to follow, sneezed three times in a row, then rubbed his nose and muttered: "It must be Master Naige who is scolding me again."
One gold coin was just enough for one person, but not for two people. The girl looked very thin, her hands were full of cracks, and her fingernails and skin were full of barbs, which was obviously caused by a lack of certain nutrients.
Despite this, the girl still took a few bites and then stopped, carefully putting away the remaining food.
"I'm full. Sir, what do you want to ask me? But can you tell me first, what is the bow and jade technique?" the girl said.
"Oh, this is a method of cutting stone with a bow-shaped tool. Bend a stick and tie the two ends with a rope. The stick will naturally straighten the rope, like a bow."
"Then wet the rope, stick it with gravel, and go back and forth, and you can cut stones such as jade, just like you do now, so it is called Gong Yushu. There is a proverb: Stones on other mountains can be used to cut jade.
It refers to the art of bow and jade." Nigris explained.
The girl suddenly realized: "So that's what it means. The method I used to grind stones with a rope when I was a child turns out to have a name. You are really amazing. You must be a wise man."
"Hehe, hehe..." Nigris raised his tail and giggled.
The girl turned to Anthony and said: "My lord, what do you want to ask?"
"What's your name?" Anthony asked.
The girl said: "My name is Ketikaluti."
"I have a question, I don't know if it's offensive, but are you human?" Anthony asked.
"Ah!" Ketikaluti's whole body tensed up instantly.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I just feel that your aura is special, so I just ask you. It's not malicious and you don't want to answer." Anthony quickly comforted you.
Nigris couldn't help curling his lips and cursed in his mind: You think it's a ghost. It was obviously Ange who told you, Death Stick.
Perhaps because Anthony's voice was more sincere, Ketikaluti relaxed a little and hesitated: "I...I...I..."
Ketikaluti said nothing without 'I', but Anthony already knew the answer and changed the topic with a smile: "Your fantasy rock is very beautifully carved, can you sell it to me?"
"Okay, of course. It's almost over. Can I give you one gold coin?" Ketikaluti asked cautiously, for fear that her price would be too high.
"Of course..." Anthony was about to pay when an angry shout suddenly came from the direction of the development camp: "What are you doing!? Do you want to rob our goods? No one told you that this is our Hessian mercenary group.
