Early morning, the guest room upstairs in the tavern.
Lu Li scanned today's "Diju Ren Trading Daily". As expected, the itinerary became blurred because Lu Li stayed in Meishan Town.
He was becoming familiar with the rules of the ceremony. As long as he avoided setting off before the newspaper was released, he could avoid the trouble of having too clear directions.
The Unknown Ritual is an announcement, not a prophecy.
"Where is Merchant Anthony?"
"At the edge of the hill, meet the returning tree people." The businessman wearing a dirty brown scarf answered.
Scarves are the easiest way to distinguish each businessman.
Merchant Anthony was very close to Meishan Town. Lu Li did not set off for the time being, ignoring the groans that sounded in the early morning next door, waiting for the five tree men and one strong tree man escorting businessman Anthony to enter Meishan Town.
Lu Li, who was standing in front of the window on the second floor, finally saw the six spider-like arms of the Meishan Town cultists stretching out from their armpits. Their bodies were stained with dark cinders, like people who had fallen into ink.
They must be the worst group of cultists Lu Li has ever seen.
These thin, anxious silhouettes hurried past, rushing to the businessman Anthony who appeared in Meishan Town.
People on the street were whispering to each other, wondering about the believers' reaction. It didn't take long for them to get information: a businessman affiliated with the Exorcist appeared in Meishan Town.
At the same time, merchants have brought the results of this negotiation: the trade between the Land of Light and Meishan Town has been reached. At the same time, because the Land of Light is a relatively high-ranking supplier, the gods and the church are friendly enough that Meishan Town is better than Guangming who needs coal.
The land is even more lacking in resources.
Meishan Town is willing to exchange everything for all resources, including soil that is worthless to the outside world.
Because the Land of Light hoped that Meishan Town could become an ally in the future, Swamp Mother did not trade with it according to the "one pound of sand for one pound" information brought back by Lu Li, but the sand was indeed part of the transaction, about ten pounds of sand for one pound.
coal.
Meishan Town thinks they have made a profit, and so does the Land of Light.
The sand dug out of the shelter has become food for worms, but there are still ruins of the Whirlpool. The camp can clean up the ruins and sell the sand as goods to Meishan Town.
Although the sand transported by merchants will bring pollution to the other world, it is better than sitting on fuel that can burn for hundreds of years.
"Meishan Town is so barren, why would he build a town of gods here?" Lu Li avoided using the name of the supernatural god because he would be known by his name.
The predecessor of Meishan Town was also called Meishan Town, a small town built on an open-pit coal mine.
The merchant paraphrased the Swamp Mother's answer: "He said that Coal Mountain is barren and has few weird features."
After entering the hills, the strange things along the way did disappear. The barrenness formed a natural barrier for Meishan Town, but it also restricted its development. The Mother of Swamps said that the gods of Meishan Town were as weak as new-born supernatural gods. The believers died due to the difficult environment and only less than one person was left.
Hundred.
This means that it is not difficult to become allies with Meishan Town in need of assistance, and they can each get what they need.
Lack of fuel has always restricted scientific development, including steam engines, internal combustion engines, and steel smelting. Obtaining high-quality coal from Meishan Town will change the progress of the scientific curve. Meishan Town, which trades with the Land of Light, will also improve the harsh environment and gradually attract residents
At least there won't be only one tavern and one intelligence hunter in the entire town during migration.
"Haven't you gone to the old sewer yet?"
"Leave later."
The newspaper was published and the trade was concluded, and Lu Li was ready to leave.
"The Earth-dwelling Trading Company is also our ostensible ally. If we ask them to stop publishing, they will not refuse..." Swamp Mother suggested.
"Not yet."
The itinerary in the newspaper has not been confirmed yet. At this time, contacting the Dijuren Trading Company, whether they admit or deny it, will make them realize that the itinerary is genuine. The Dijuren Trading Company will definitely sell this as information to interested entities.
It’s best to keep half-truths until your itinerary is confirmed.
Swamp Mother changed the topic and talked about Lu Li's next destination: "Ghost Town is powerful enough. If you can make it an ally, it will not be difficult for us to spread our power in the deserted land."
With the eldest sister there, it won't be much trouble to make Ghost Town an ally, and at least we can establish a trade relationship.
"Also, do you agree with me inviting plant habitats to move to the land of light in your name?" Swamp Mother asked again.
Lu Li recalled the plant habitats that protected the spirits of the ancestors: "They will not leave the Forest of Tranquility."
"I know, but we can let some tree people go to the Land of Light as guests. Merchant Anthony said that tree people are weaker than the banyan tree guards, but they fill the entire forest."
"Can."
The addition of treants should alleviate the Light Land's stretched protective power, and treants will grow better in the sun.
The businessman left. Lu Li glued the arm placed on the bedside table back to his armpit, put on his cloak and opened the door.
The wooden door on the opposite side opened at the same time, and a three-handed girl with a lustful air and sweat on her forehead appeared in the corridor.
Having just finished a transaction, she tempted Lu Li, but was ignored by the latter, who walked up the stone steps back to the downstairs hall.
A stunned gaze was now fixed on Lu Li.
The dark eyes under the shadow of the cloak scanned the tavern, but without finding the source of his sight, Lu Li opened the door and walked to the street.
The Meishan Town believers, whom I had not seen yesterday, were frequently passing by on the streets. They were pushing carts made by the Land of Light, and carts of piles of coal littered with cinders were transported to the open-air warehouse.
They had no idea that the Lord of the Land of Light was passing them by.
Poverty makes Meishan Town surprisingly efficient.
Lu Li, who was heading to the old sewer channel, suddenly walked into the alley next to the old sewer channel. Soon, a figure suddenly broke into the box and stopped at the entrance.
The view noticed by the tavern was not an illusion.
The intelligence dealer who was following Lu Li was unexpectedly discovered. He suppressed his excitement and asked, "Are you from the Land of Light?"
"Why follow me."
"I'm an intelligence merchant. There's nothing I don't know in the western part of the desert! You can ask me anything you want to know. If there's anything you need, I can help you find it. And..." The intelligence merchant who got the acquiescence couldn't wait to reveal it.
Trump card, just for
"Do you want to join the Land of Light?" Lu Li interrupted the information merchant's chatter.
"Join the Land of Light? No... I hope you can allow me to work for the Land of Light!"
The falsely beautiful place of light does not attract much, except that the newsboy selling newspapers encounters generous customers.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Li gave him a merchant's eyeball.
"You only have one chance to use it to prove your worth, or to buy an eyeball from a merchant."
The eyeball sells for ten contribution points, which is a piece of weird currency. If the intelligence merchant is willing to pay, he can get several more opportunities.
Leaving the ecstatic intelligence dealer behind, Lu Li left the alley and entered the old sewer.
