Chapter 458: Lai Yehuan Participating in the Holy Grail War
Before the sun set, this village called "Dulen" welcomed two strange travelers.
"It seems like a battle just happened here."
Tonelli was keenly aware of the blood stains on the wooden fence and the messy marks left after the battle, which seemed to have been left by Moss. A small number of the human soldiers patrolling around the village were still injured, and it seemed that
Depression.
However, Mikael's attention fell on the weapons in the hands of the human soldiers, the simple wooden spears and the rough hemp clothes on their bodies. Coupled with the weak body of humans, even lower-level goblins can easily crush them.
Press them.
【Are these the humans in this world?】
His blue eyes became transparent and he looked at them carefully. Not long after arriving in this world, Mikael realized that Alaya did not exist here.
Unable to occupy the position of the leader of all things, and without a common vision, they only exist as living tools. This is the human race in Britain. Although the human beings here appear to be the same as humans in the history of pan-humanity, their essence is more like
An inferior and imitation handicraft called "Human" produced on an assembly line.
………
………
Entering the village went smoothly as expected, without any questioning or review. When these patrolling human soldiers saw their arrival, they bowed respectfully and saluted, and then continued their respective patrol tasks.
However, Mikael was keenly aware of the hatred and disgust that flashed in the eyes of these people under their respectful appearance.
[It seems that humans and fairies in this world do not get along very happily.]
Silently keeping the collected information in mind, Mikael and Tonellico entered the village.
Different from the dirty and chaotic village in the Middle Ages, this place is more like a fairy tale world that only exists in dreams.
What comes into view are row upon row of medieval buildings. At your feet is a spotless flat stone road. Every stone slab is so even and smooth that you can even faintly see your own reflection. There are flowers and tall trees planted on both sides of the road.
Ash wood, and even delicate street lamps.
Human beings are rarely seen on the street. Most of them are short and stocky goblins from the Earth clan, as well as a few goblins from other clans. The sound of "dang" and "dang" forging can be heard in the air, mixed with the noisy crowd.
On the street, it’s like a beating musical note.
The Earth Clan is good at laying roads and buildings, and is also proficient in casting silver handicrafts and weapons and equipment. Nearly a hundred years ago, some goblins of the Earth Clan learned the smelting technology of steel from humans. Although iron will kill goblins, just
Touching it will cause inflammation and weakness, but the Earth Clan has enough tolerance for iron, so the fairies of the Earth Clan are basically qualified blacksmiths.
But more fairies of the Earth Clan only use iron to make some fragmentary handicrafts. The mainstream casting materials are precious metals such as silver. For fairies, iron weapons are too dangerous, both for fairies and humans.
in hand.
Especially humans and fairies do not want their pets to have the power to harm their owners.
………
This village is not very big, and soon Mikael found the only hotel in the entire village, but the goblin who was the owner raised questions about his request for accommodation.
After all, this hotel is just a building imitating a "hotel" and does not have the function of a real hotel at all. Goblins do not have their own civilization, so they imitate human civilization and build various gorgeous cities and buildings.
But these are ultimately empty things without meaning.
They cannot understand the purpose of these buildings, whether it is to open hotels or imitate human life. In the final analysis, it is because it is interesting. Human spiritual activities are bright treasures to goblins and will bring them pleasure, so humans
It is an indispensable pet in the lives of fairies.
Mikael hesitated for a moment whether to explain the concept and real function of the hotel to the goblin in front of him, but he quickly gave up the troublesome idea, so he took out the holy sword of physics from his imaginary number pocket and used Thunderbolt
Before he could cover his ears, he hit the goblin boss on the head, knocking him unconscious.
"Eh--?!"
Tonelli was dumbfounded as he watched him expertly tie up the unconscious goblin boss, then locked the door of the hotel, hung a closing sign outside, and started rummaging around.
After a while, Mikael looked at the fragmented metal ingots and some exquisite silver crafts in front of him, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
"Are you looking for something?"
Tonelli stared excitedly at the small pile of loot in front of him, although it was not precious.
Although she instinctively felt that it was wrong to do so, the process of obtaining these trophies brought her a thrill she had never experienced before, just like a good student trying to skip class and go to an Internet cafe for the first time.
As if she felt that the thing was about to change its owner, the goblin boss's eyelids moved slightly, as if he was about to wake up. She waved the staff of choice in her hand in a panic, and hit him on the head again, maybe with a little too much force.
Some big lumps visible to the naked eye appeared on the head of the goblin boss.
"Sorry, sorry..."
Tonellico muttered softly, and the surface of the chosen staff emitted a soft milky white halo, releasing healing magic and eliminating the swelling on the goblin boss's head.
"Tonellico, do you know what currency the goblins use?"
"currency?"
Tonelli was a little confused about Mikael's questions.
"What is currency?"
"It's what you use to buy things."
Seeing the increasingly confused expression on Tonellico's face, Mikael picked up a silver handicraft and asked in a simple and easy-to-understand manner,
"For example, if you like this silver sculpture, what should you exchange for it to get it?"
"It depends on what the goblin boss likes, but the goblins of the Earth Clan prefer shiny things. This is a well-known thing."
There was a hint of "this is common sense, my friend" in Tonellico's tone.
"Does that mean barter for barter?"
Mikael patted his head and suddenly realized that the goblins only imitated the most superficial things of human civilization, and did not touch on complex things like money at all. In other words, the goblins were still in the primitive tribal era of exchanging things for things.
He originally planned to get some financial support from the goblin boss, but it seemed that the plan had to fall through. However, he soon had a new idea. If there was a chance in the future, he could try to implement the financial system among the goblins.

Exchanging worthless gold and silver for priceless magic spells is a hugely profitable deal no matter how you look at it.
