Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 24: Elder
"Bring it to you!"
Say yes, but the action of the hand is grabbing—how can the herbal collectors not know the price of Supor Sleeping Powder? If that small packet really contained sleeping powder, it would at least be a big deal worth dozens of thaler coins!
The Thaler silver coin, also known as the big silver coin, is the main currency issued by the empire. The obverse is engraved with a profile photo of the emperor at the time of issue. In addition to Thaler, there are also small silver coins, also known as Bison coins, which are the local currency commonly used in the five southwestern provinces of the empire.
When the currency value is stable, one thaler is equal to twelve small silver coins. Most people can't afford thalers at all, and even small silver coins are not often used, so there is Finney copper under it, Ten worth a small silver coin.
A small silver coin can buy a pound of offal beef in a normal place, and a pfennig can buy a large loaf of brown bread.
"It's a big profit!"
Thinking of this, the herb collector's breathing became heavy when he saw that he was about to get it.
Dozens of thalers, the top of his total income for three years, must be lucky if he does not eat or drink, not to be stung by insects, not to suffer from miasma and not to get sick!
This item is not very valuable to the natives, but it is very rare to the imperial people.
Of course, the herb pickers didn't notice the slightly raised corners of Ian's mouth.
—The plan is going well.
Everyone was attracted by the fire, and the knife wound he stabbed himself on his teacher was enough to fool everyone. Hilliard is obviously a master who is extremely proficient in combat, and the imitated wound is like a real one. Like the one who was stabbed in the fight, there is no flaw at all.
Not to mention, being able to control the muscles, the so-called knife wound is just a broken skin.
Next, if you show some money, even if the herbal picker doesn't take the initiative, Ian will sprinkle a little sleep powder himself, so that everyone around can find out. of.
The sleep powder in my hand is only one-third of the original bag of sleep powder, and I used up another third to deal with Ossena and the natives, and the rest is enough for myself and Hilliard to fight in' Survive without working while recuperating.
After all, if this thing is not precious, it is impossible to trap Osenna and become the eyeliner of the natives in the city.
And that may be snatched away, the one-third of the sleeping powder that was sprinkled is just to rationalize everything and attract all eyes, so that people have no energy and attention to think about some loopholes in fires and other things tools and bait.
Wait until the next day, the incident will turn over, and the most dangerous moment has passed in the competition for sleeping fans.
However, just when Ian was going to let the herbal picker **** the sleeping powder from him.
On the other side, Sai Nan was angry.
Brin, this guy, usually snatches some flowers and plants from the natives, but he dares to **** the little Ian he saved from the sea of fire? !
——I didn’t do anything myself, so it’s your turn? !
Although Sai Nan didn't really save him, the fisherman obviously put himself in this position, and the actions of the herb collector didn't give him any face at all.
"You bastard!" He raised his hand, ready to punch.
"You little bastard, take your hands back!"
But before the reaction was slow, Sai Nan, who had just raised his hand, punched the herbal picker in the face.
In the street behind, there was an angry explosion, and the familiar voice immediately made the herb pickers who wanted to **** them withdraw in fright.
"Elder Purdue is here!" There was an exclamation from the side of the road.
Ian also raised his head in surprise, looking at the street entrance beside him.
Accompanied by hurried heavy footsteps, several pharmacists from the port, and Elder Bai Zhimin who arrived at the first time arrived.
Elder Purdue is not similar to a white-haired old man who is dying in the usual sense. This short, 70-year-old man who is only 1.6 meters tall has a pair of thick thick eyebrows and a big gray beard.
"What are you doing?!"
He has a loud voice with a little dwarf blood, and he walks like a tiger with a pair of short legs.
He came striding forward, pointed at the herbal picker and scolded, "Snatch something from a child? Huh? Snatch something from your own siblings?"
"I just want to see what it is, so as not to be dangerous." The herb picker backed away and waved his hands, and he wanted to speak hard and quibble in fear.
But obviously, this is of no use.
Elder Purdue came to Ian, who looked ignorant, and protected the boy behind him.
Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his hand and slapped the herbal picker who was still explaining.
Hoo! This slap brought out the wind, and it was not the strength that an old man should have at all. It directly hit the herbal picker on the ground, kneeling on the ground, and the whole person was obviously stunned.
But even so, the slapped herbal picker could only bear it, and didn't even dare to be dissatisfied. Zhong covered his face and left quickly.
"What's going on, why did Ossena's house catch fire? Did he set his pants on fire while roasting his legs?"
Taking advantage of this power, the old man widened his eyes, looked around the scene, and learned about the general situation from other people.
"No!"
"Elder, listen to me, you are an aborigine"
"Ossina is a man this time"
For a moment, everyone spoke in a hurry, which caused Elder Pude to roar and reprimand him. After everyone present was quiet, he asked individually how the situation was at that time.
This time, the answer is much more organized.
After that, he also asked Ian, and got the same answer as everyone else. The elder had already thought about it: "Indigenous people? So that's the case. It seems that the demand for pure sacrifices has driven these damned ghosts crazy, and they actually set their minds on us!"
The people of Bai are an ethnic group with a strong sense of family. Most of them gather in the big cities in the heart of the empire in the form of aristocratic families and villages with surnames, or gather themselves into villages and towns, with the oldest and most authoritative old people as elders , manage a team of internal affairs.
This branch of Port Harrison was deprived of their surname, territory and all wealth decades ago due to political reasons, and was dispatched from the imperial capital to this coastal port located in the south of the Byson Mountains.
In fact, most of the residents in the port immigration area south of the Baisen Mountains are like this, either they are officials who have been relegated, or they are families who have been exiled.
"Good boy, you did a good job tonight, it should be your spoils, it's your spoils. The family has no surname, but there must be rules."
Comforting Ian who was no longer crying but still a little scared, Elder Pude hugged Elan who was soundly asleep.
After taking a closer look, he couldn't help frowning: "Oh god! It's true that he smoked a lot of sleeping cigarettes. These savage sons of **** didn't intend to bring back a normal child!"
Looking at Elan's eyelids and smelling the hair, the experienced Elder Pude can fully distinguish the traces and smell of Supor Huamian powder. What Ian said is true. It seems that this sacrifice is for purity The group of barbaric natives was really well prepared.
Immediately afterwards, Elder Pude looked sideways at the wound on 'Ossena' who was being treated by the doctor.
Needless to say the knife wounds, those natives were really cruel.
What surprised Pude was actually the courage of 'Ossenna': "It's really hard for Osenaar, a gloomy guy who is usually silent, to have such courage to withstand such a serious situation." If the four aborigines were killed by the knife wound, if there is no distortion, with this talent and willpower, maybe they can really become a sublimator."
"Of course, it's also possible that you **** more mushrooms. I don't know if it's true or not?"
Elder Purdue has a lot of prejudice against Oceana, but since this man has fulfilled his duty of protecting his blood relatives, he will not speculate too maliciously: "I underestimate your courage. You really have to force it to see your true nature."
"Speaking of which, has this kid gotten stronger?"
