Wutong was speechless. Maybe it was because of the Druid's natural teachings that were related to moral constraints?

But before Sharano finished speaking, a wanderer behind them, who should be an outside player, was suddenly entangled by the vines hanging from the vine car. A small fairy who was only the size of a palm flew out of the "coin box". He was holding a copper coin in his hand, screaming in anger with a crisp sound, and suddenly broke the copper coin in half, and it was still a [substantial copper coin].

The wanderer player quarreled with the little fairy, and even struggled to run away, but the little fairy hummed twice. With a wave of his little hand, he swung the vine of the wanderer and swung it and loosened it. The buddy cut through the sky with a long shrill scream and fell down. Everyone's heads moved with the buddy, and then paused heavily.

Wutong looked at the little fairy with white butterfly wings and sweat. It turned out that there was a "ticket inspector"? It was not high from the ground, just seventy or eighty meters! There was a thick humus layer below. In theory, it might... maybe... maybe... it might not be able to die if you fall?

Sarano spread his hands: "If you don't pay the car, this will be the case. Don't look at these ordinary [white-winged] little fairies only have the strength of level 0, but their tempers are not very good..."

Wutong nodded violently, and she was sweating profusely and decided to go to the fruit shop to exchange for money in a while! Damn this place is too cruel. Just evading the ticket, you have to risk your life!

He suddenly realized that they had arrived at the edge of Qiyun Forest by car... No! It should be said that it is the core area of ​​Qiyun Forest, but because a huge super pine tree stands in the middle of the forest, the canopy like a giant umbrella covering the sky covers the sky, making it empty under its umbrella cover and there are no trees!

If the towering trees in Qiyun Forest, which are generally more than 100 meters high are unimaginable towering trees for outsiders such as Wutong, then these towering trees are above the clouds, and the straight trees under the clouds are like super trees like Buzhou Mountain, as weak as grass under the big tree!

“...Damn it!”

Wutong looked straight at the giant tree in front of her with a few clouds surrounded by her waist. She couldn't help but burst out a slander: "Is this a tree?"

"That's not a tree..."

Sarano beside Wutong shook his head, making Wutong turn his head to look at her in shock: "That is the [Druid Grand Master] Lord Orion!"

Wutong was even more surprised and exclaimed in disbelief: "Is Mr. Orion a big pine tree?"

"Don't you know when you come to Bixin City, Qiyun Forest to see His Excellency Orion?"

Sarano wondered: "His Excellency Orion is the oldest revitalized pine tree among the [log druids]. It is said that he is one of the [guardian woods] activated by the ancient druid masters of the [monster age]. They are currently at least 4,000 years old!"

(Popular science in the age: [Ancient (-38000-4100)] - also known as: [Monster Age] or [Goblin Age])

Wutong took a breath, OK, he has seen a lot of old guys. There is nothing strange about it, right?

Just as they were about to ask how they were going to talk to a big pine tree, they found that the wizard Ganlu and the chief had left them without knowing where they were, and the sharp claws Druids who were escorting them had long disappeared, leaving only Sarano and the black buddy Shafis who were making soy sauce with them.

Sharano shrugged: "The wizard and the chief went to the headquarters of the Forest Watcher sect to ask for an audience with His Excellency Orion. Let's go to the [Dawn Square] on the Plain of Lamania first! If His Excellency Orion is willing to receive us, someone will be sent to pick us up..."

As she said that, she planned to go up and down from the giant tree where she was, Wutong looked into the distance. Well, although Your Excellency Orion was "close to you", there were still hundreds of kilometers from the giant tree where they were to the feet of Your Excellency Orion!

And this distance is all composed of plains. The [Lamania Plain]-[Dawn Square] mentioned by Sarano is between the two mountain-like roots of His Excellency Orion.

"Walk over?"

Wutong was a little dumbfounded, and Sharano turned around and frowned and said, "Do you want to sit in a giant owl? Although I am also a druid, I can temporarily change into [owl form], but I can't carry you four! Unless anyone who wants to pay to call a few giant owls over... I don't have money."

Seeing Sharano looking at him, Shaphis shook his head quickly: "Don't look at me, I have never had that thing on me."

"Poor ghost..." Wutong swallowed these two words into her stomach and touched her body very depressedly. His money had been overwhelmed by him in the [Endless Cabin] on the way. Later, he kept bartering, and Wu and Xiaoxiao should not count on it. These two guys never brought money.

He was planning to exchange for some silver pine cones just now. Now that he thinks that he is penniless, he is easy to do. He just called out the Dragon Eagle A Zi and flew over, but he couldn't bring so many people at once.

"Where is a market? Let's exchange some silver pine cones for it." Wutong looked around, wanting to find a market where she could set up a stall.

"Stop looking, go straight to the [Lamania] plains, and the residents in the Qiyun Forest are basically concentrated there for trade."

Sarano pointed to the small black dots moving like an ant colony on the plain. Wutong looked at the dozens of giant vines wrapped around the giant tree. She had to dizzy when climbing down from here. She took the elevator called "tree cage" and needed to use Ye coins, so he decided to go down faster... directly pick up the little loli and jump down, so you don't have to worry about him. Even if you tie this guy up with a rope and push him down, you won't die.

Seeing Wutong "can't think it through", Sarano and Xia Feis were shocked, but immediately reacted. As long as a mage doesn't do too much, he can't even learn the [Farewell Technique], and he usually cannot be killed by falling to death.

"Well..."

Shafes held his tambourine, carefully looked down, swallowed his saliva, then turned his head and looked at Sarano, looking at Sarano, looking at Sarano with a look of wanting to say something but stopping. Sarano rolled his eyes angrily: "Don't think about it! Climb down by yourself!"

As he said that, he ran a few steps and rushed out of the mushroom platform. He plunged down like a diving platform, and turned into a huge owl in the air. After flapping his wings and cushioning for a while, he quickly glided to chase Wutong and the others who had jumped down first. He caught them before Wutong and Xiaoxiao landed, and led them to the market not far from the edge of the forest.

The market on the [Lamania Plain] in the center of the Qiyun Forest has no specific name. It is just that the residents of the Qiyun Forest spontaneously gather on this green grassy plain, so it is collectively called "Ramacao City", which means "the market on the grassland of the Ramania Plain". For the sake of convenience of trading, the grass market basically gathers at the border between the Qiyun Forest and the [Lamania Plain].

Wutong and the others landed next to Caoshi. After wandering around under the leadership of Sarano, Wutong found that although the market on "Ramacao City" had not been planned or had any major trade organizations or caravans, basically forest residents gathered to set up stalls themselves, due to the large population, they still formed small circles according to the content of the items sold.

For example, some sell various fruits produced in the forest, some sell prey, some sell a small amount of animal, plant, and mineral materials, and most of them trade in barter. Some are willing to accept rubber coins, pine coins, and leaf coins, and then use this unique circulating currency in Qiyun Forest to buy what they need.

After turning around, Wutong looked at the rare animal and plant mineral materials. Her saliva was so turbulent. Unfortunately, at the headquarters of the Druid Sect, it was not allowed to trade large-scale natural materials, just to prevent people from being deceived by interests and to catch and kill and collect them in order to make profits.

A small amount of animal and plant mineral materials is not prohibited. After all, forest residents will hunt and collect plants in order to survive, and occasionally pick up some minerals, as long as they do not destroy the terrain and natural environment. The "Forest Watcher" sect, which has a mild doctrine, will not prohibit normal trade behavior.

It is also officially because of this. Some outside speculators often come here from thousands of miles to bring some external materials needed by forest residents to exchange with them. Then they bring the obtained materials back to the outside world to seek the difference.

However, the batch volume of items traded in this way is very small, which is almost not a formal business behavior. The disguised price ratio in Qiyun Forest is very high. An ordinary external product can be sold at a very high price here, which is almost ten times that of the outside world.

The price of the purchase materials is also high, which is about ten times that of the outside world. That is, things that can be bought in the outside world only cost 1 gold coin, but here it requires local currency equivalent to 10 gold coins to be purchased, which is more expensive than those purchased in the outside world.

The Forest Watcher sect stipulates that only oak coins, pine coins and leaf coins are allowed in the local area, and does not accept gold, silver and copper coins from outside. This causes outside merchants to obtain the needs from the local area, and after selling them locally, they can exchange them for "druid coins", referred to as "German coins", in order to buy what they want locally.

Wutong suspected that this was deliberately caused by the "Forest Watcher" sect. On the one hand, it could obtain scarce materials in the forest from outsiders, and on the other hand, it limited the degree of environmental damage... The distant journey and the difficulty of transportation destined the scale of trade.

However, this was an opportunity for Wutong and the others. When he was in the [Wolf Claw Tribe], he stuffed all his supplies and equipment with supplies adjusted according to local needs. Therefore, although "Secret Shadow Caravan" did not follow him for the time being, the goods he carried alone were enough to form a caravan.

After licking his lips, Wutong had already figured out the situation after turning around, but he did not immediately pour out the supplies from his dimensional bags for dumping. Instead, he grabbed Sarano and asked in a low voice, intending to figure out the business rules here.

But what surprised him was that there was no commercial tax here, and the druids did not manage or restrict such commercial behavior at all. In other words, this kind of trade behavior was completely spontaneous action by forest residents.

After thinking about it, Wutong understood that due to the environment, forest residents' demand for "clothing, food, housing, and transportation" is mostly self-sufficient, but they occasionally take out the surplus supplies or accumulated things to exchange for their needs.

In terms of "clothing", most forest residents wear animal skin clothes or hand-woven coarse hemp clothes picked from the forest. Wutong even saw beautiful half-elves girls and beast-like girls woven with soft leaves, and decorated them with various flowers and fruits as ornaments. The styles they wear on their bodies look very beautiful, no worse than the various fashions from the outside world.

Besides, living in the forest does not require the gorgeous fashion and clothing from the outside world at all. If you really wear silk clothes to go around the forest, you will probably become ragged when you come back. No matter how gorgeous the clothes are, they are not as good as the thick and durable clothes.

Therefore, for forest residents, clothing is sturdy, practical and durable.

In terms of "food", the huge Qiyun Forest is generous to the creatures living in its arms. The fruits, nuts, rhizomes of various plants are at your fingertips, and the meat is also rich. As long as it is not intentional and indiscriminately killed, it is just hunting for survival. The Druid Sect allows it.

Therefore, in the Qiyun Forest, whether it is animals or humans, you do not need to deliberately cultivate them to get enough food.

(Although Eruden has a population of 500 million, it is mainly concentrated in the plains in the northeast. One-tenth of the land concentrates nine-tenths of the population, while only less than one-tenth of the population live in nine-tenths of the forest area.)

In this case, forest residents naturally do not have too strong demand for external food (mainly referring to food, not various grain processing products).

The aspect of "living" is even simpler. Just after passing by Bixin City, Wutong saw forest residents using natural magic to make nests on trees like swallows, using hard clay to build caves under the roots of trees, using [curved wood] to twist the branches to make nests, and using [wood-plastic wood] to build houses of any style on huge trees. There is no need for any building materials at all, and naturally there is no need for housing.

In terms of "traveling"... In the forest environment, there is no use of any means of transportation except for a pair of iron feet. The vine carts, tree cages, and giant owls with great local characteristics are not something that outsiders can have. Don't consider it.

So, what forest residents really need is just a small amount of processed items produced from the outside world, such as salt, spices, ironware, etc.

Touching his chin, Wutong suddenly realized that this environment without commercial competitors was simply a blank huge treasure for him!

Those speculators who can only carry a small amount of items to come from all over the world to climb mountains and wad waters will naturally not be able to compete with him. Once he builds a trade point in the local area, he can almost monopolize the local economy...the premise is to obtain the permission of the Forest Watcher Sect.

As the only large city in Qiyun Forest, which occupies nine-tenths of the land area of ​​the Eruden Field, the population in Bixin City is almost equivalent to the population in the entire Qiyun Forest. As the only trading location, the grass market on the [Lamania Plain] is the only trade location. Even if the demand of forest residents is small, it is a very huge demand market for him.

There is a saying among merchants on the mainland of Covare: "Go to the sea to sell matches, go to the desert to sell cotton coats", which means that as long as you work hard, there is nothing you can't sell.

After thinking about it, Wutong decided to try the market reaction before meeting His Excellency Orion and obtaining permission. He discussed with Sarano, took out a large marching tent from the dimensional bag, and asked her werewolf warrior members to help install it on the grass to store the various goods he brought.

Then he discussed with Xia Feis and asked him if he would like to join the "Secret Shadow Caravan". If he performed well, he would not be able to become the head of the Chamber of Commerce in Bixin City in the future. Xia Feis was immediately happy when he heard this. He threw away the drum and joined the work of setting up a tent with great enthusiasm. Isn't that a perfect match for the bard's good eloquence to sell goods?

Wutong handed over everything to Sharano and Shafes, but she smiled and Wu stood by and watched, thinking about how to obtain the "Forest Watcher" business license.

If you want the Bixin City to prosper, those big druids don’t need to make a fake hand at all. It’s something that a third-level mage can do. It’s impossible for a big druid sect to do. He has a dimensional bag, an endless hut, a half-plane, a teleportation point, and a teleportation array. The druids are born to be the master of longevity. It’s okay for a [log druid] to live for thousands of years at will. Who knows if they have all kinds of strange things in their hands? The broken jars in ancient times are considered antiques in modern times. The big druids have no reason to have no private goods to collect.

Therefore, opening up a small amount of local resources to attract speculators to transport goods is just their control means, rather than necessary means. This is probably based on maintaining the natural teachings of the druids and meeting the most basic material needs of forest residents. After all, not everyone is like the druids, who can tolerate vegetarianism and poverty.
