Feather blades flying together

Chris and Arthur strolled around the square for a few more times. It seemed that they were going to have trouble until late at night, so they went back early. Watching people fall and dance from time to time, they were very happy at first, and their cheeks hurt after laughing for a long time.

When Chris arrived in the tent, he rummaged through the luggage bags of the two of them. Fortunately, the teenagers from Duantianya have been helping to deliver things. These days are the days when the children on duty return to the north for their shifts, and they will bring the food for the next stage and equipment.

Otherwise, when the two go on the road, Arthur will still hold Chris, unable to carry anything.

Looking through the baggage, there are two well-designed overcoats. Chris's cloak is used as a wind-pressed quilt to cover the bedding, and it will be put on tomorrow.

Arthur walked around outside to check the stability of the windproof ice wall. The tent of the two stood in a cave covered with ice bricks, which was built together when the delivery boy was still there a few days ago.

The ice wall is sealed and airtight, and a small opening is left to go in and out. At night, stones and branches are used to block the opening of the hole, and a thick tent is set up in the ice cave, so that you can live warmly.

When Arthur blocked the hole and came in, Chris was cleaning the iron kettle for boiling water and trying to iron his wrinkled coat.

"What do you do with this?" Arthur took it and rubbed it vigorously. A small pile of charcoal was lit in the middle of the tent, and a steel basin was sitting on it to boil water.

"Didn't you notice?" Chris looked around and decided to tear off a corner of the sheet to cover the bottom of the pot. "The penguin tribe seems to be very particular about dressing. Today we met Claude and his partner. The people dancing in the square are all neatly dressed." Although after falling a few times, it will be more miserable.

Arthur thought about it, and immediately understood what Chris meant, "Really, besides, we, as the people of Duan Tianya, should always be decent when we meet the other party's patriarch." He has already started to think about how to play tomorrow to attract attention.

"I can't wear this big thick padded jacket," Chris thought for a while, "I'll get up early and boil the water and I'll wash my hair." The half-length blond hair was a bit messy after blowing all day.

Arthur tied him up and ironed the folds of his coat, "Then I have to shave. Tell me, are the two you saw today really fish?"

The territory of the sea eagles is also quite close to the sea, and I have never heard of them saying that such creatures have appeared.

Chris told Arthur his analysis of the feathered people, orcs, and mermaids in this world, "So nothing is impossible. I speculate that this is a creature whose respiratory system is different from ours. Maybe it is different from the feathered people's land. Where they are connected, there is another land, and they should be able to go ashore."

The two discussed it while working, and planned to ask the Claude family tomorrow morning. They love to chat, so first ask them what is going on with those guests, and whether they can ask about this question.

Chris heated up a canned fruit and cooked some corn porridge. Arthur moved the charcoal fire outside the tent and grilled a barbecue for himself as dinner. After eating, he went to bed early.

Throughout the night, faint music could be heard in the distance, and the entire penguin tribe ended up partying all night to celebrate the polar night.

So Arthur and the two got up early the next day after packing up and going out, when they saw Claude come back crookedly.

Arthur gave him a hand to keep him from falling on the doorstep, "Have fun?"

Claude hiccupped, waving his arms and drawing a big circle, "Super happy, didn't you guys leave early?"

Arthur helped him open the door while explaining, "I'm more used to going to bed early, and I'm not very good at dancing. But your celebration is very interesting, and I have opened my eyes and seen many magical things."

Claude couldn't be more cooperative, "Hey, going to bed early is something only females and chicks do, haha~ You saw mermaids, didn't you? I guarantee that only people from our clan in the entire continent can see them."

"Mermaid?" Chris raised his eyebrows, and it seemed that it was a topic that could be discussed casually. "Really, are they also intelligent creatures? The feathered people on the mainland have never heard of it."

Claude pushed open the door of the house, looked down at the dark and unlit lights, and thought that his partner and children were still sleeping, so he sat down at the door and made a chattering gesture, and began to talk very proudly, "Then Of course, they only contacted us so far because we rescued one of their injured children while fishing."

"Hey, let me tell you, I was only a teenager at the time. Not long after I came back from Saiwei Palace, the whole island was a sensation. I have never seen such a strange fish. Everyone opened it to discuss whether to eat it or not. A long time."

"As a result, the child made a noise, and he was so clever that he stayed in the water tank and listened to everyone discussing him in a meeting for five days. He knew that 'hungry' meant to eat, and he wanted it. Now there is no need to discuss it. You can speak human words but you can’t eat them.”

Claude chattered drunkenly, explaining the whole process of understanding between the two races.

The mermaid tribe migrating past lost their children. Following the smell, they found that they were brought ashore from this island. They set off big waves to go ashore to fight, and found that the little one was well taken care of.

That little mermaid may have a high status among the mermaids. After eating the dried fruit and sweet porridge on the shore, he remembered it. Later, the mermaids would use deep-sea fish, aquatic plants, and pearl shells to exchange some things on the shore with the feathered people here.

It was less than 20 years ago.

Arthur and Chris looked at each other, are they still going to see the patriarch?Made it all clear...

The light at the bottom of the cave came on, and Xiao Yun shouted angrily, "What are you doing outside? The cold wind is blowing in!"

Claude hurriedly stretched out his hand to try to cover the wind at the entrance of the cave, "The golden eagle I saw yesterday, the guests from afar are at the door, I will chat with them."

Xiaoyun slowly flew up and grabbed his ear and tugged, "Sit in the field and chat?" Turning a smiling face, he pulled Chris enthusiastically, "Come to our house as a guest? Have you had breakfast? Do you want to try it?" Have a taste of our specialties?" There was a couple of gold sculptors as guests, who could show off for several years and have a lifetime of conversation.

Such a chatty couple, it would be a pity not to go, Chris and Arthur looked at each other and readily accepted the invitation.

Chris followed, and Arthur flew back to the tent in lightning, and took some Duantianya's specialty dried meat, canned fruit, and corn flour mixed with sugar for brewing, and packed them together as a guest gift.

Xiaoyun was even happier when she received the gift, and immediately took the tableware to try, and at the same time took Chris straight into the warehouse of her house, where all kinds of fish, aquatic plants and so on were displayed, "Whatever you want to eat, I will give it to you Do!"

Chris is not interested in these, but he saw a box of pearls and brought them back to Duan Tianya to the female elders. They must like it, "Uh, anything is fine, we have had breakfast. But, I want to ask, this Is it a pearl?"

There are pearls in the Yuren Continent. All families in the Ume bloodline eat aquatic products and are also good at diving to catch fish, so there are some freshwater pearl accessories, which are obviously not as good as these.

"Yes, there are no pearls in the deep sea, right?" Xiao Yun was very proud, "We go to the sea to catch fish, and occasionally we get them. Every family hides some."

"Although it's a bit presumptuous," Chris glanced at the fineness of those pearls, "Can you sell me some?"

There is only such a small box, it looks precious, I don't know if the other party is willing to sell it, it doesn't matter if it is more expensive, gold carving artists are not short of money.

Chris and Arthur traveled around the mainland, and when they saw special products, they always tried to send some back to their families.

Xiaoyun probably didn't expect him to buy it, and couldn't help shrinking the box in his hand. A female would like these beautiful things, but when she thought of changing money, she paused again, "I can sell you some, but, how much? Is the money right?"

Chris thought about it, the golden carving family is also the master of the mainland, and they can't lose the reputation of being oppressive, so they suggested a way, "This kind of pearl, does every family have it? I want to buy it for the elders in the family , so I need more, can you help me ask, who can sell some, and help me make up more. As for the price, you can exchange things or general crystal coins. You can discuss it and calculate it. It is worth it price. As long as it is reasonable, I have no objection."

Arthur finished the whole thing about the penguin family from the mouth of the dizzy Claude outside, and even talked about the mother tree. Chris completed the construction of the pearl trade in his warehouse.

The two husbands and wives are almost inseparable.

Xiaoyun is much smarter than her partner, and Chris didn't intend to cheat her. After hearing what he said, "I also realized that, we have to ask the patriarch about this?"

"That's good, we are going to visit the patriarch, please help us to report." Chris came out of the warehouse with him, and from Arthur's expression, he knew that the things in Claude's mind had been blocked. He dug it all.

There are many specialties on this island, Duan Tianya and the territory under its jurisdiction have more things they need, and doing business is profitable, why not discuss and sign a contract.

I met a mermaid by accident, so I have to stay for a while to see if I can get more information.

The Yuren Continent is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the coastline is extremely long. The entire sea area is an unknown world. The furthest Umu bloodline that has flown so far is only half a day away from the sea and then turned back. No one has ever explored the ocean. How big is it.

Although it is impossible to use advanced technology to help the world develop long-distance navigation capabilities at one time, it can leave some ideas to help them advance farther and faster independently on the road to understanding the world.

Xiaoyun kicked the dizzy Claude to call for someone, and the news spread quickly. Hearing that Duan Tianya's young master came to visit, the current patriarch, Wei Yi, brought people from the Penguin Parents' Association to welcome him.

Arthur wrapped Chris in a cloak and flew directly to him. The place where the patriarch lived was still an underground cave, and they were all standing on the ground at this time. The long trousers coat stands still and looks imposing.

Sure enough, they were quite concerned about the unexpected appearance, but these people still couldn't hide the envy in their eyes when they saw Arthur flying over.

He can fly very steadily, besides flying stably, he can fly so high with a person in his arms, so light and light that he seems to be able to do this without using force, envy, envy and hate!

In fact, I hated it when I was a child in Saiwei Palace. Decades have passed, and I forgot about it when I lived on the small island. Seeing Arthur now, everyone thinks of their teenage years again.

When I was young in Saiwei Palace, in order to avoid the shadows in their hearts, the penguins, ostriches, and emus, all the tribal chicks who were not able to fly well when they were adults lived alone on a floating island, and the progress of class was also the same. alone.

But this does not prevent them from seeing the little guys from other tribes flying above their heads, they are just envious and jealous anyway!

What I envy the most is the falcon eyes, especially the golden eagles. They can't walk steadily by themselves, and they can fly and draw in the sky.

As time goes by, those entanglements from childhood can be brought out better now, which shows how deep the resentment was at that time.

Arthur landed steadily, put Chris down and stood by his side, smiled and bowed slightly, "Arthur, the golden sculpture of Duantianya, I have met you all."

The patriarch of the Penguin family cleared his throat, "Ah, Young Master Arthur, I know you, and I came from afar, welcome." He stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

Arthur had already drawn out their etiquette from Claude, he clenched his fists calmly and lightly met him, smiled and bowed halfway, "Your place has unique natural scenery, I have traveled here with my partner, and I have not It’s our courtesy to come to visit.”

The patriarch was startled by his understanding of etiquette, and then a little embarrassed by his polite look, "Ahaha, everyone is underground in Jiye, it's normal that it's hard for outsiders to find, please come in, please come in." Slowly Taking two steps back, I tried my best to slowly fly down to the house.

The elders beside them also walked very slowly, each of them was afraid of losing face by wrestling in front of outsiders.

Chris couldn't help but wanted to touch his forehead, seeing that Arthur was also exhaling lightly, the two held each other's hands, implying that the other party should hold back, and it is very impolite to laugh at other people's birth defects.

Probably this is the reason why the whole penguin tribe doesn’t like to communicate with other tribes in the mainland. They fly back and forth, and they walk slowly.

Everyone finally sat safely in the big living room of the patriarch's house, and everyone was very satisfied with Arthur Chris' calm expression.

Claude reported that Chris wanted to buy pearls. The patriarch said a few words to Arthur. He had lived in the house for a long time and couldn't think of a topic, so he could only speak first, "I heard from the clansman that you want to buy pearls? "

Chris nodded cheerfully, "Yes, we can exchange it with tools, food, fabrics, and mainland common crystal coins. Please set a price."

The eyes of all the elders brightened. They never thought that pearls can be exchanged for money before. They used fish oil, fish skin and various dried fish to replace the supplies needed on the island. After all, there are moss and shrubs everywhere here, tools and clothes needed for daily life But they are all rare goods.

This is also because the aesthetics of different tribes in the entire feathered world are quite different. After all, everyone's hair color and feathers are quite different, and the accessories they like are also different.

Also because different tribes live together, and there are no well-known fashion figures around the world, everyone thinks they look good in their own homes, and it’s not like changing styles every year or two.

"What kind of tools do you have?" The patriarch asked immediately.

"It depends on what you need," Arthur held Chris's hand, "The workshop of the gold sculptor is the most advanced in the mainland. We can make whatever you need."

This is quite generous, some of the elders couldn't help but move their buttocks, and the room seemed to be a little noisy in an instant.There are also some who look a bit cunning. If these two gold carving artists like it very much, can you...

Chris glanced at the expressions of these people, and interrupted their delusions with a smile. He was not cheating, but he couldn't be taken advantage of, "There are also freshwater pearls for sale in the pelican blood line, one with two red crystal coins, the climate here It's cold, and seawater is more dangerous than freshwater, we can buy freshwater pearls for twice the price, what do you think?"

Chris also bought some freshwater pearls of the pelican blood line, because they didn’t go hunting for pearls specially, they just got them by chance, they were scarce but didn’t take much effort, the price was reasonable.

Judging by Xiaoyun's appearance, these pearls were also obtained by chance from their hunting, which is similar to the origin of the pelican blood line, and double is not considered a scam.

The purchasing power of one red crystal coin is also astonishing. Four red crystal coins are almost enough for a family of two to spend three months in the mainland.

The elders originally wanted to ask for a lot of money, and when they sat on the ground to exchange money, they were ordered by Chris with a hammer, and their expressions were not very good, but after all, four red crystal coins were not a lot.

They go to the mainland to replace things every year, and the prices are still understandable.

The patriarch is smarter. He has to go to the mainland to buy things after taking the crystal coins. It is better to exchange the items directly, and it will avoid going to the mainland. This is the most annoying thing every year.

"Then what if it is exchanged with materials?" The patriarch's eyebrows did not loosen at all.

"For materials, you can list what you want, and I will quote you a price one by one. It is definitely a reasonable price in the mainland, and finally it will be converted into crystal coins."

"Wait for us to discuss it." The patriarch took a group of elders to another room to discuss, and sent someone to serve tea and seaweed snacks for Arthur and the two.

Arthur whispered to Chris, "How much do you want?"

Chris rubbed his nose, "Would we lose money by exchanging materials?" The gold carving family has crystal mines, and they have made a lot of money selling rocket launchers over the years. They are not short of money, and it is very troublesome to send materials.

This should let the people below know that sending supplies for thousands of kilometers with great fanfare in order to exchange some accessories for the females of the golden carving family may cause public resentment.

Arthur nodded his forehead, "You think too much. Why didn't you think about it when you said you wanted it. We use our own money to buy gifts for our family members. What right do the people have to control?"

The head of the Penguin family directly copied a list of the houses purchased in the mainland over the years. Arthur and Chris traveled in the mainland and managed government affairs in person. He was clear about the prices of daily necessities, and immediately gave two price.

The latter column is slightly higher than the previous column, ranging from ten to forty percent higher.

The patriarch goes to the mainland every year, and recognizes that the price in the first list is slightly lower than the one he bought in the mainland before, but the price in the latter list is about the same, some are cheaper and some are more expensive, so he whispered to the elders, "What are the prices in these two lists?" mean?"

"The first column is the price of similar products in mainland China, and the latter column is the price of Duantianya's production," Arthur clicked on the first list, "especially for these steel products, Duantianya's workshop is different from other places. The things are more durable and cost less to manufacture. Higher, so more expensive."

Turn to the last page again, "There is no cloth in Duan Tianya, but it is available in our subordinate cities. It depends on the quality you want, and the price is also different."

Conscientiously introduced each item, and the truth that everything is genuine.

Everyone in the Penguin family had a bad expression on their faces. Damn it, the first column is the normal price, but I have never bought it before, all the ones I bought were expensive!

Those bastards in the mainland treat us like a trap every year. It turns out that every time they see our smiles, they may not be laughing at us for walking, but the opportunity to make money has come again!

With a dark face, the patriarch took back the list and wrote the number on the back of each, "We want so many, do you have it?"

Chris is top-notch in arithmetic. He quickly calculated the total price, and then converted it into the price of Xintian's delivery of these items, "You go to the mainland every year to exchange things, and the distance will always be lost? We will send it to your door this time, and we need to hire a large number of people. SST's help is all consumption, and it will be calculated for you according to SST's official charging standard, while the consumption of our dispatched personnel will be charged according to the general salary standard for messengers in mainland China, is that okay?"

The penguins were stunned at the same time, feeling as if they had acquired new skills, which is a good way to buy things without leaving home!

The patriarch nodded hastily, "We trust you, of course." That's great!

"Well, Chris and I will stay on the island for a while," Arthur pulled Chris to stand up, "Our messenger will come over in a week, and then send a message back to deliver the supplies you need. During this week, you have to count how many pearls you can provide to us."

"No problem," the patriarch felt that his heart was so bright, and he had never done shopping and doing business so smoothly. "I can trust the promise of the Golden Sculpture Artist."

Arthur and Chris went back to do some calculations. Other families of the Falcon Eye blood line also dote on their partners. The lords of the major families are all rich. These pearls can't be consumed by themselves, and they can be sold. Doubling the price is not a small sum.

Arthur saw that Chris had finished his calculations, put away his light brain, wrapped his arms around his waist and dragged him into his arms, "Why are you so keen on these things?"

"Don't you think that the world has become more interesting if there are more exchanges like this?" To change the world, start from knowing it, and get to know more people, and you will have new ideas.

Arthur looked at his energetic expression, and couldn't help leaning over to kiss him, "Okay, okay, it's more interesting, besides us, other people are also beginning to yearn for other places in the mainland, or they can go to sea in the future, It’s good to be able to go to the opposite side of Tianzhu.”

Chris crawled into the soft blanket that was baked by the water bag, "One day, after recognizing my own world, I will think about the farther sky, such as the stars."

"On the stars?" Arthur crawled in, hugged him and tucked in the quilt, "You really want to go?"

Chris smiled in the dim light and kissed his chin, "You'll know later, where I come from..."
