Chapter 224: Entering the Moer Gan marketplace
"Zhan, you are not mistaken, there are indeed many warriors coming in and out of the cave, it’s like the place they used to train the warriors, there is no way to get too close, I don't know how big the inside is. But outside the cave the grass field has no beast around, the only beast there is strange, the body is huge, the forehead has a strange pattern." Da He whispered.
Yuan Zhan nodded. They had hovered over the sky and almost looked at the general distribution of Moer Gan. The tribe was in the middle of the river flow and just on the edge of the river. There were mountains nearby, but not high, and the trees were very dense, the overall terrain. In Mo words, it is in the Great Plains.
The new city that The Moer Gan is building is a bit far from the river and the terrain is higher than the river level, Mo guessed that was to prevent the river flooding during the rainy season.
Located near the new city pool, there is a continuous low mountain. Yuan Zhan has a sharp eye. Many people like warriors were seen coming in and out of a cave. He also saw many beasts, for a fighting wildness or animal intuition? He subconsciously felt that the place was very important, but because he couldn't get a clear look so he told DaHe to go look at it after he fell.
"In addition, their newly built city is not close to people." Da He also saw that the city was imitating Jiu Yuan, and his heart was very unpleasant. "I just circled around. The wooden village built on the river has only the front wooden wall, but it’s open behind, it seems to be used only for the market. The Moer Gan tribe is still far behind, where there are tall wooden walls on all sides covering it."
In between, there is only one wooden wall. The gates are here, but they can't go in immediately, they still need to line up, and the gatekeepers at the door are asking and checking the various tribal traders who come.
In addition to Yan Mo, including Yuan Zhan, it is still the first time such a team, more or less they have a sense of novelty, and do not feel like they are wasting time.
DaHe's inspiration at Yan Mo fell behind several people and talked with the dealers behind them.
The tribal dealers in front of Yan Mo and others are also quite curious about Yan Mo and his team. The teenager who followed the last turned back and peeked at Yan Mo. The boy looked like the same age with Yan Mo.
Yan Mo was a little impatient with the boy stare.
Yuan Zhan felt it was funny that he did not deter the boy from peeking at Yan Mo.
"Hey, what's your name? Which tribe are you from?" The teenager couldn't help but start a conversation with Yan Mo. His eyes lingered from Yan Mo's head to his feet and finally returned to his head. "That's... Why do you raise a little bird? Why does it lie on your head and doesn’t fly away? Do you train birds? Do you have such a bird? Can you exchange it? And that wrap you wear it looks really well, especially your feet. Can you exchange that kind of animal skin wrap?"
"Hey! Who are you calling a little bird?! Your entire family are little birds!" Jiu Feng screamed at the boy.
The wind blade passed over the top of the boy's head and cut off the teenager's hair. But the teenager knew nothing about it.
"Jiu Feng, don't lose your temper." Yan Mo quickly comforted the bird's head. He didn't want to rouse attention to the children with a lot of problems. He poked Yuan Zhan and let him talk.
Yuan Zhan tried to converge with a sigh he asked the teenager: "Little guy, what is your name? Which tribe are you from?"
The teenager was a little afraid of Yuan Zhan, but he was quite sympathetic when he saw him, and the courage was magnified. "My name is Tu Qiu." We are from The Earth Cliff Tribe on the Wolf Mountain. What about you?”
“We are from Jiu Yuan Tribe, from the river upstream, Tu Qiu, what can you exchange with us?”
“We have a lot of good things!" Tu Qiu stood tall looking around." Yes, I did not see how your goods? "
Yuan Zhan, laughed, this is a cunning whelp," and we came in batches of goods, we fewer people reached here fast. "
"Oh, No wonder.” Tu Qiu still talked to Yan Mo who is about the same age and he is not interested in talking to Yuan Zhan. He said a few words with Yuan Zhan and he turned to Yan Mo again. “Hey, what is your name? Do you want to go to our cliffs to play? I can take you to eat delicious stuff!"
“Hey?” Jiu Feng heard a good meal and had a little interest.
Yan Mo is not reluctant to visit other tribes. If the child is so enthusiastic, and he is not good at saying a word. "My name is Mo, what is your tribe delicious stuff?"
"That's more, we have... Hey!"
A big hand slammed Tu Qiu's mouth, a very helpless hoarse male voice screamed: "You rabbit annoying thing harassed others again, be careful as the last time!"
1] Tu Qiu= means rabbit hill....so I guess their tribes children are hyperactive talkative.
The person who spoke was about two years older. In the second half of the decade, his body was stronger, and the young man with dimple on the sides of the cheek close to the corners. The older teen looks a bit fierce, but when he smiled his face has a deep dimple on his left cheek, adding a bit of cuteness to his fierceness.
1]... Rabbit’s dimples
The man let go of Tu Qiu and looked at Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan. "Hello, I am a brother to this one who causes a lot of trouble, Tu Hou. I just heard you say, are you from the river upstream?"
Yuan Zhan replied, "Yes.”
Yan Mo looked at Tu Hou. The name is very interesting. There is a beast animal name, like a rabbit. The body is only long and skinny as a ruler, and the lion is afraid of it. Because it will stick to the body, it will cause the flesh to rot.
Tu Hou's face changed slightly. "Are you from the wild land?"
"Oh? It turned out that we are called a wild land people?" Yan Mo smiled and pretended that he was the first to hear this.
Tu Hou laughed. "We don't know where you are from. There are very few people going there. But..."
Tu Hou's gaze turned around on both of them, he whispered: "I'm afraid after seeing you the tribes will no longer say that the highlands above the river are wild places. Are you coming to MoerGan for the first time?”
“Yes.” Yan Mo suddenly smiled. “If you can sing, there must be many fans.”
"What?" Tu Hou stared blankly and the others didn't understand. What is sing, what is fans? What it is?
"I am praising your voice very well."
Tu Hou, "...thank you."
"My voice is also very good" Yuan Zhan whispered and rubbed Yan Mo's ear.
Yan Mo pushed his hand. "Tu Hou, can you tell us about the MoerGan market? Is there anything that we needs special attention? Do we have to give MoerGan some benefits?"
TuHou does not know any of these people. He does not want to offend their strength. Although he didn’t understand the boy’s words just now, it’s not like he was being malicious to them. He simply smiled and said: “Of course, you would want to give them some benefits, usually before leaving. Give them all three tenths of all exchanged goods."
"So much?"
"No way, only Moer Gan dare to arrange such a big market nearby, and only Moer Gan can suppress the various tribes, even if they have deep hatred, the tribes in the Moer Gan market are not allowed to make trouble. During the market, Moer Gan will be responsible for protecting all tribes and goods. After leaving, they will send people to escort the tribal teams out of the Moer Gan boundary and guarantee that they will not send people to snatch, and will not let other tribes do it.”
“Is it necessary to leave Moer Gan under protection?”
“Yes. But it’s just worth it. Generally, the tribes will send a lot of people in Moer Gan boundary to wait for their own tribes teams to guard their return journey. If you are careful, you can safely return."
"Can the tribal teams stay in the open space behind this wooden wall?"
"Yes, Moer Gan does not allow the tribes to trade in the vicinity of prey hunting area, the food has to be brought with you or bought at the market, the river water can be taken at will, but you are not allowed to run around, not allowed to enter Moer Gan residence. If the runner is caught, Moer Gan will not have any compensation for him being killed. If you want to save the captured person, and you will have to follow the slave trade.” Tu Hou wanted to talk to Yan Mo and he doesn’t hide it. He has visited this market for a number of times to MoerGan market so he has a common sense on what to do and not do.
Tu Qiu interjected: "Moer Gan is also the largest slave trade market nearby. They have pointed boats and turtles that can pull those boats. They like to go through the river to catch slaves and transport them. I heard their ship can also reach The Three Cities. But they have been arresting people nearby before they have a boat, and many people on our cliffs have been caught by them!”
“Tu Qiu!” Tu Hou scolded him.
Tu Qiu spit out his tongue, but he waited for his brother to open his mouth and sneered: "You Jiu Yuan should be careful, your wear is so well, and it is the first time to come to Moer Gan, you will definitely be stared at by them!"
Tu Hou angrily smacked his Tu Qiu's head.
Tu Qiu screamed at him, and Tu Hou’s team heard a laugh.
TuHou has a headache because this younger brother.
Yan Mo expressed his gratitude to the brothers. The news is normal for them to tell, but it is really precious for them because this is the first time they came to Moer Gan.
TuHou was doing the best, and directly invited them: "If you are willing, when you go to the market, you can go with us, just occupy the block next to us, and it will save you from finding another place. If this is your first time, and the trading team did not give the arranger a lot of benefits, you will be arranged to a very bad place. If someone comes to bring you, then you will have arranged."
Yuan Zhan touches his chest with his right fist and nods to Tu Hou: "Thank you."
"Nothing, when you trade, let us exchange a little good things. When will your team come? What is the cargo?"
"Many things we advanced so as to settle down, and then when they get here they will send the news and we will go out to meet them." Yan Mo has already thought of this. He didn't start by getting the goods out. He just wanted to take a look at MoerGan first. If there is something worthy of exchange, then he will take out the sample and explore the idea of exchanging with them.
If they really have a lot of goods to look at, they will bring out more again, let Jiu Feng get bigger and ship the goods directly into the market.
Arriving at the gate of the trading market the gatekeepers simply put them asked simple questions.
Ding Ning Ding Fei expressed a surprise. Ding Fei couldn't help but whispered: "Mo Da Ren, are Moer Gans afraid of the enemy coming in?"
Yan Mo didn't answer, and he talked to Da He, "They dare to open this market it means they will not be afraid of the enemy's intrusion. Moreover, we have not entered their real place of residence, this is just in the open space. You two keep your eyes put! This is Moer Gan!”
“Yes!” The wooden wall is more lively behind, and the open space is filled everywhere with cargo, beasts and people, beasts called birds, people were crying, and noises were abnormal.
Yan Mo noticed that there are also locations for booth in the market. Because there are so many people, unlike Jiu Yuan, which only had two rows of face-to-face booths before. It is like a multi-row parking lot. It is divided into many rows, each row is drawn. There are a few huge spaces, and the tribal teams each occupy a space. Some teams have more goods in a whole row, such as Moer Gan's booths.
Most of the tribal teams have their own tents. At present, many teams have already set up their tents.
Some teams were igniting fire in front of their own sites. Many people who are slaves are returning to transport water and wood or caring for beasts and unloading goods.
"The team that has been there several times has it’s own fixed position. The first time you come or want to change the position, you have to go to the person in charge of the market. If you don't know him it’s the man with red feather on the head there. But the guy is very uncomfortable to talk to, if not necessary, it is best not to look for him." Tu Hou let others go to the position first, he walked with Yan Mo... Walking and whispering.
"The whole row of seats over there is Moer Gan's own booth. They mainly sell slaves. If you want good slaves you should go to them, the exchange price will be higher than other tribes. Other tribes also have slaves. In exchange, you can also pick a slave."
"That is Xi BianTribe, the second most powerful tribe in the vicinity except Moer Gan. Their tribes can control a kind of ferocious attacking beast called The Creek Beast. The Creek Beast is very similar to the wolf beast, but it is fiercer than the wolf beast. There are legends about the Creek Beasts, which can change between human and animal forms.” Yan Mo ears, which were looking around, hairs erect, “Really."
"Half of the pos sibilities, my father saw a savage tribe in the lower reaches of the river and the man turned into a beast when he was on the shore of the river connecting with Moer Gan."
Yan Mo was so excited that he stared at The Xi Bian Tribe with enthusiasm. Very incomparable surgery material, how good soo much material!
Yuan Zhan grabbed him, his fingers swept from his lips, and he spoke with disgust: "Wipe your drool."
Yan Mo returned to him with a "nothing to say to you.... layman".
Tu Hou didn't know why this seemed to excite the teenager. He thought he liked these bizarre legends. He also signaled Yan Mo to look at another booth. "There, see that no, those are real Snake-People Tribe! The males are handsome, beautiful, and the lower body are snake tails. They are the most mysterious and difficult tribe to get along with in this land. Moer Gans does not dare to offend them. Some people say they are from The Bai Xi City of The Three Cities."
Yan Mo inhaled deeply, Baixi, and the legendary of Nuwa who created life according to so that appearance is made of of these people.
The people from The Snake-People Tribe didn't seem to like to show their faces. They stayed in the dark tents, and the slaves were busy outside.
TuHou introduced them and Yan Mo was dazzled.
"The front boot has been the location of our cliff tribe, just next to it is empty, you take it first. Last year we were with The Wild Hills Tribe on the right. It was a group of insatiable bastards. We fought with them this year. They probably won’t want to set booth next to us.”
“Hey?” Yan Mo stood still.
“What?” Yuan Zhan turned to look at him.
"Bamboo!?" Yan Mo almost rushed over.
It is a pity that the tribe did not seem to use bamboo as a cargo, but as a material for building a tent.
"What is bamboo?" Tu Hou also asked.
Yan Mo forced himself to immediately tamp down the desire to ask, and he said casually: "Nothing, it’s just a plant, it’s body is very delicious to eat, but unfortunately we don't grow much of it near the tribe."
TuHou who had not yet had a concept of cultivation and nourishment of plants. As he was listening to Yan Mo’s saying, he also found it strange thing, their tribe’s plants are also raised by nature. If they grow too little, they have to eat less, otherwise they will probably be cut off.
"If you like that thing, you can talk to them in there. It’s The Yufu Tribe, and their character is kind and good. They are cordial people."
Yan Mo gripped Yuan Zhan with all his strength, and coming to this market was right! Even the discovery of bamboo is a huge gain, not to mention that there are still many things that he has not seen yet.
